any stated minimum) which Westpac is from time to time required to maintain as an
interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio
requirements.B
    
    is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Margin and the Mandatory
Cost) payable for the relevant Interest Period on the advance.C
    
    is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which Westpac is required
from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of
England.D
    
    is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to Westpac on
interest bearing Special Deposits.E

 Event of Default
 If an Event of Default occurs then Westpac may at any time either or both:
 (a)
    
    terminate any facility provided under any Bank Document; and(b)
    
    by written notice require each Undertaking Company to repay all amounts lent or
provided to it under any Bank Document, and all other amounts actually or contingently
outstanding by it under any Bank Document and the Undertaking Company must pay them
immediately.
 If an amount is paid to Westpac to cover an amount contingently owing, Westpac will hold
that amount in an interest bearing account until the amount becomes actually owing or ceases
to be contingently owing. Westpac will then apply the amount in the account (including
interest) in payment of the amount actually owing and return the balance to the relevant
Undertaking Company.
 Where a Bank Document specifies that a facility can be terminated by Westpac at any time,
Westpac may at any time do either of the things specified in (a) or (b) above whether or not
an Event of Default has occurred.
 Any notice given by Westpac pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (b) shall be of no effect if:
 (a)
    
    it is given because of the occurrence of an event of default specified in
paragraphs (a)(ii), (a)(iii), (b), (c), (f), (h), or (i) of clause 6; and
 [*] Confidential Treatment Requested

##### 



(b)
    
    within two business days of the notice the Undertaking Company is able to show
to the Banks satisfaction that:
 (i)
    
    the Event of Default has ceased to exist; or(ii)
    
    the continuation of the Event of Default does not have a
Material Adverse Effect.
 Application of money  set-off
 If an Undertaking Company does not pay an amount when due, Westpac may apply any money in
any of Undertaking Companys accounts or deposits (whether or not matured) in payment of any
amount payable by it under any Bank Document. It need not do so. It can convert currencies
using its normal procedures provided those procedures are fair and reasonable to both
Simsmetal and Westpac.
 No waiver
 No failure to exercise a power, and no delay in exercising a power, operates as a waiver.
Waivers must be in writing.
 8.   REVIEW
 (a)
    
    (Material Adverse Change) If there are any circumstances including a material
adverse change to the business assets or financial condition of the Relevant Companies
taken as a whole which in the reasonable opinion of Westpac are likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect then Westpac may on two months written notice:
 (i)
    
    require repayment of all or part of the financial accommodation
provided to any Undertaking Company under any Bank Document; and(ii)
    
    terminate all facilities,
 unless in that period security is provided or amendments to the Bank Documents are
made which are satisfactory to Westpac.(b)
    
    (Control) If Simsmetal becomes controlled by another person then Westpac may
within 60 days after notification of that change of control review the terms of any
financial accommodation provided under any Bank Document. Following that review
Westpac may require repayment of all or part of the financial accommodation provided to
any Undertaking Company and terminate all facilities.For this purpose a corporation is controlledby a person or entity holding a
relevant interest (as defined in the Corporations Law) of more 50% of voting shares
in Simsmetal.

9.  PAYMENTS
 Method of payment
 Each Undertaking Company will make all payments at the address on the execution page of this
agreement or as specified by Westpac except where a Bank Document specifies otherwise.
Payments must be in cleared funds and free of any set-off or deduction, except for taxes
where required by law.
 Time of payment
 Unless otherwise stated, amounts payable under any of the clauses Yield protection, and
Additional Payments are payable within two Business Days of demand.
 [*]
 10.  YIELD PROTECTION
 Whenever Westpac determines that a Change in Law (as defined below) has the effect of:
 (a)
    
    increasing its costs of funding or maintaining a facility under a Bank
Document, or reducing its return or amounts received in respect of the facility; or(b)
    
    reducing its return on capital allocated to a facility under a Bank Document
(including because more capital needs to be allocated to the facility or cannot be used
elsewhere),
 then Westpac will promptly notify the relevant Undertaking Company, who must pay Westpac the
amount Westpac certifies is necessary to compensate it. That certificate will give an
outline of the calculation, and will be conclusive and bind the Undertaking Company in the
absence of manifest error.If the Undertaking Company so requests, Westpac will negotiate in good faith with a view to
finding a means of minimising the effect, but is not a defence that the effect could have
been avoided or minimised.A Change in Lawis the introduction of, or a change in, any law, official directive, ruling
or request or a change in its interpretation. If it does not have the force of law, it must
be one with which responsible Australian banks would comply. Without limitation, it
includes any occurrence which is a Change in Law as described above and which

##### 



relates to capital adequacy, special deposit, liquidity, reserve, prime assets, tax or
prudential requirements (except a change in tax on overall net income).It does not include a change where Westpac is entitled to receive adequate compensation
under another provision of a Bank Document.
 11.  ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS
 Indemnity and costs
 Each Undertaking Company will pay Westpacs reasonable legal costs (including goods and
services tax or similar tax) in relation to the preparation of each Bank Document to which
it is a party and any security for its obligations, and any amendment of it, or any consent
or waiver. (In respect of the preparation of this agreement, company searches referred to
in conditions precedent to Bank Documents and the Bank Documents prepared around the date of
this agreement, legal costs on account of preparation are capped at $5,000.)Each Undertaking Company will indemnify Westpac against any liability, loss, cost or expense
(including legal costs on a full indemnity basis and including any goods and services tax or
similar tax) it incurs in or as a result of an Event of Default or a breach of its
obligations, or in the actual or contemplated enforcement of this agreement or any Bank
Document to which it is a party or in the actual or contemplated enforcement of any
security.Each Undertaking Company will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold
harmless Westpac and its respective directors, officers, employees and agents, from and
against any and all claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorney costs) for which any of them may become liable or which may
be incurred by or asserted against Westpac or any such director, officer, employee or agent,
in each case in connection with or arising out of or by reason of any investigation,
litigation, or proceeding, whether or not Westpac or any such director, officer, employee or
agent is a party thereto, arising out of, related to or in connection with any Bank Document
or any transaction in which any proceeds of all or any part of the accommodation under Bank
Documents are applied or proposed to be applied, EXPRESSLY INCLUDING ANY SUCH CLAIM, DAMAGE,
LIABILITY OR EXPENSE ARISING OUT OF THE ORDINARY, SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH
INDEMNIFIED PERSON (but excluding any such claim, damage, liability or expense to the extent
attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or violation of any law or
regulation by, any such indemnified Person). The undertaking in this clause shall survive
the payment of all or any accommodation under Bank Documents.
 Goods and Services Tax
 (a)
    
    Notwithstanding any other provision of this agreement, any amount payable to
Westpac under this agreement does not include any goods and services tax or

##### 



similar tax by whatever name called (including GSTas defined in A New Tax System
(Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999, as amended from time to time, (the GST law).
Terms defined in the GST law have the same meaning in this agreement.(b)
    
    To the extent that any supply under or in connection with this agreement by
Westpac constitutes a taxable supply, the consideration payable will automatically be
increased to include an additional amount on account of GST. That amount will be the
product of the value of the consideration for the supply and the prevailing GST rate.(c)
    
    Notwithstanding any other provision in this agreement if, for the purposes of
GST law, Westpac is not entitled to an input tax credit in respect of the whole or part
of any GST payable on a supply acquired by Westpac in connection, whether directly or
indirectly, with this agreement, Westpac may increase the amounts paid or payable under
this agreement to the extent necessary to recoup the input tax incurred by Westpac in
connection with that supply.
 Tax
 If an Undertaking Company is required to deduct any tax from any payment under a Bank
Document (except a tax on Westpacs overall net income), then:
 (a)
    
    the Undertaking Company must pay that amount to the appropriate authority and
promptly give Westpac evidence of payment; and(b)
    
    the amount payable is increased so that (after deducting that tax, and paying
any taxes on the increased amount) Westpac receives the same amount it would have
received had no deduction been made.
 Currency Indemnity
 Each Undertaking Company will indemnify Westpac if any amount payable under or in connection
with a Bank Document is received in a currency which is different from that in which it is
required to be paid under this agreement. This indemnity applies whatever the reason for
receipt of the amount in a different currency.
 Stamp duty
 Each Undertaking Company will pay all stamp, transaction and other similar duties and
charges in relation to this agreement or any Bank Document to which it is a party and any
security for its obligations and any transaction under them. This includes financial
institutions duty and debits tax. Each Undertaking Company will also pay any fines and
penalties unless they result from a failure by Westpac to lodge a document for stamping in
sufficient time, having received from the Undertaking Company the amount of stamp duty in
good time.

12.  NEW PARTIES
 A party can join this agreement as an Undertaking Subsidiary and if Westpac agrees, can be
joined to other Bank Documents. To do so it must sign an accession agreement in the form
attached. Upon signing the accession agreement the party will automatically become an
Undertaking Subsidiary under this agreement (and assume the nominated status under any Bank
Document set out in the accession agreement) and have the same obligations and rights as if
named in the Subsidiaries Schedule and as if it had signed this agreement and that other
Bank Document.Simsmetal will promptly advise Westpac of the acquisition or creation of a new Subsidiary.
Simsmetal will also advise Westpac if it is necessary for that Subsidiary to become a party
to the interlocking Guarantee dated 15th November 2000 in order to ensure compliance with
Undertaking clause 4(i).
 13.  GENERAL
 Statement
 A written statement by Westpac as to any amount due under a Bank Document will be sufficient
evidence of that amount unless the relevant Undertaking Company proves it wrong.
 Term
 This agreement will continue so long as there is any liability, obligation, document or
agreement between Westpac and any Relevant Company or until Westpac releases it whichever
event occurs earlier.
 Assignment
 No Undertaking Company may assign its rights under any Bank Document. Westpac may transfer
any part of its rights and, with an Undertaking Companys consent, its obligations. An
Undertaking Company will not withhold that consent unreasonably. With the prior consent of
Simsmetal which consent will not be withheld unreasonably, Westpac may disclose information
concerning a Bank Document or an Undertaking Company to a potential transferee or
sub-participant. Westpac may transfer any part of its rights with the prior consent of
Simsmetal which consent will not be withheld unreasonably. Westpac may from time to time
change its office at which accommodation is made or carried, provided that if at the time of
any change from one office to another the effect thereof would be to increase any amount
payable by an Undertaking Company under a Bank Document then such change shall not be made
without the prior written consent of Simsmetal.
 Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in a Bank Document, Westpac may at any time
assign, as collateral or otherwise, any of its rights (including, without limitation, rights
to payments of principal by a Westpac office in the United States of America to

any Federal Reserve Bank without notice to, or consent of, the Undertaking Companies or any
of their agents, successors or assigns.
 Where Westpac wants to transfer any part of its obligations the relevant Undertaking Company
will sign when reasonably requested by Westpac a document which will effect that transfer
and which does not increase the Undertaking Companys obligations. Westpac will bear its
own costs and stamp duty on that document.
 Notices
 Any notice, demand, statement, certificate or other communication by Westpac under any Bank
Document may be given by any person whose title includes the word a manager, a counsel, a
head or a president, or any attorney authorised to do so.
 Notices may be sent by facsimile, post or any other means to the recipients address or
number set out on the signature page of this agreement or to any other address or number
notified to the sender by the recipient.
 Notices will be taken to have been given if delivered or left at that address on the date on
which they are delivered or left.
 Governing law and jurisdiction
 This agreement is governed by NSW law. Each Undertaking Company accepts the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of the courts having jurisdiction there in relation to each Bank Document.
