Bank, acting reasonably) from a law firm in the jurisdiction in which the

    (Material Adverse Change) any event occurs which, in the reasonable opinion of

    BANKS REMEDIES AND POWERS7.1
    
    Event of Default

 (a)
    
    the Banks obligations specified in the notice are terminated or any facility
provided under any Bank Document is terminated; or

 (i)
    
    payable on demand; or
 (ii)
    
    immediately due for payment.
 The Bank may make either or both of these declarations. The making of either of them gives
immediate effect to its provisions.
 Where a Bank Document specifies that a facility can be terminated by the Bank at any time,
the Bank 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 Bank pursuant to paragraphs 7.1(a) or (b) shall be of no effect if:

Default specified in paragraphs (a)(ii), (a)(iii), (b), (c) or (g) of clause 6,
the relevant Event of Default has been cured; or
 (ii)
    
    in the case where the notice relates to any of the Events of
Default specified in paragraphs (e) or (h) of clause 6, the continuation of the
relevant Event of Default does not have a Material Adverse Effect.

7.2
    
    Application of money  set-off

continuing, the Bank 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 by setting off the obligations. It need not do so. The Bank may do anything
necessary to effect any set-off under this clause (including varying the date for payment of
any amount owing by the Bank to the Undertaking Company and it can convert currencies using
its normal procedures provided those procedures are fair and reasonable to both the relevant
Undertaking Company and the Bank. This clause applies despite any other agreement between
the Undertaking Companies and the Bank.7.3

exercise, or delay in exercising, a right or remedy under a Bank Document.

    REVIEW
 8.1
    
    Review Event
 Each of the following is a Review Event:
 (a)
    
    (Control) If the persons who at the date of this deed have Control of Sims

(b)
    
    (Listing) If any securities of Sims are added to the official list of any
stock exchange (other than the official list of the Australian Securities Exchange
operated by ASX Limited and the official list of the New York Stock Exchange) then the
Bank may, for a period of not less than 60 days after the date the Bank is notified of
that event (Listing Review Period), review the terms of any financial accommodation
provided under any Bank Document. Following the Listing Review Period, the Bank may
require repayment on demand of all or part of the financial accommodation provided to
any Undertaking Company and terminate all its facilities, if the Bank, acting
reasonably, believes that Sims presence on the official list of such a stock exchange,
will have, or is reasonably likely to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

    PAYMENTS
 9.1
    
    Method of payment
 Each Undertaking Company will make all payments (including by way of reimbursement) under
each Bank Document:
 (a)
    
    on the due date (or, if that is not a Business Day, on the next Business Day
unless that day falls in the following month or after the Maturity Date, in which case,
on the previous Business Day); and
 (b)
    
    not later than 10.00 am in the place for payment; and
 (c)
    
    in the currency in which that payment is due in immediately available funds;
and
 (d)
    
    in full without set-off or counterclaim and without any deduction in respect of
Taxes unless prohibited by law; and
 (e)
    
    to the Bank by payment into the account nominated by the Bank, or by payment as
the Bank otherwise directs.
 If the Bank directs the Undertaking Company to pay a particular party or in a particular
manner, the Undertaking Company is taken to have satisfied its obligation to the Bank by
paying in accordance with the direction. The Undertaking Company satisfies a payment
obligation only when the Bank or the person to whom it has directed payment receives the
amount.
 9.2
    
    Currency of payment
 Each Undertaking Company waives any right it has in any jurisdiction to pay an amount other
than in the currency in which it is due. However, if the Bank receives an amount in a
currency other than that in which it is due for any reason whatsoever, including without
limitation as a result of any judgment or order or the liquidation of the Borrower or any
proof or claim in connection with that liquidation:
 (a)
    
    it may convert the amount received into the due currency (even though it may be
necessary to convert through a third currency to do so) on the day and at such rates
(including spot rate, same day value rate or value tomorrow rate) as it reasonably
considers appropriate. It may deduct its usual Costs in connection with the
conversion; and
 (b)
    
    the Undertaking Company satisfies its obligation to pay in the due currency
only to the extent of the amount of the due currency obtained from the conversion after
deducting the Costs of the conversion.
 28

##### 



9.3
    
    Application of payments
 The Bank may apply amounts paid by an Undertaking Company towards satisfaction of the
Undertaking Companys obligations under the Bank Documents in the manner it sees fit, unless
the Bank Documents expressly provide otherwise. This appropriation overrides any purported
appropriation by the Undertaking Company or any other person.
 9.4
    
    Default interest
 (a)
    
    (obligation to pay) Interest will accrue each day on each amount due under a
Bank Document but unpaid, from (and including) the due date to (but excluding) the date
of actual payment and is calculated on actual days elapsed and a year of:
 (i)
    
    365 days, for amounts due and payable in Australian dollars and
Pounds Sterling; and
 (ii)
    
    360 days, for United States dollars and Euros; and
 (iii)
    
    the number of days to be advised by the Bank, for other
Alternative Currencies.
 The relevant Undertaking Company agrees to pay interest under this clause on demand
from the Bank at the rate set out in this clause.
 (b)
    
    (default rate) Unless otherwise specified in the Bank Document, the rate will
be the interest rate for the relevant facility as set out in the relevant Bank Document
(or any equivalent rate which is substituted for this rate from time to time) plus 2%.
That interest accrues before and after any judgment. For the purpose of this clause,
the Interest Rate is calculated as if the overdue amount is a drawing with interest
periods of 30 days (or another period chosen from time to time by the Bank) with the
first interest period starting on and including the due date.
 (c)
    
    (compounding) Interest payable under this clause which is not paid when due
for payment may be added to the overdue amount by the Bank at intervals which the Bank
determines from time to time or, if no determination is made, every 30 days. Unless it
does so more often, the Bank will be taken to have debited monthly the Undertaking
Companys account with accrued interest under this paragraph. Interest is payable on
the increased overdue amount in the manner set out in this clause.
 9.5
    
    Interest following judgment
 If a liability becomes merged in a judgment, the Undertaking Company agrees to pay interest
on the amount of that liability as an independent obligation. This interest:
 (a)
    
    accrues daily from (and including) the date the liability becomes due for
payment both before and after the judgment up to (but excluding) the date the liability
is paid; and
 (b)
    
    is calculated at the judgment rate, or the default rate set out in this clause,
whichever is higher.
 The Undertaking Company agrees to pay interest under this clause on demand from the Bank.

    CHANGE IN LAW
 10.1
    
    Increased Costs
 Whenever Bank determines that a Change in Law (as defined below) or compliance by the Bank
or any its Related Entities with such Change in Law has the effect of:
 29




---



##### 



(a)
    
    increasing its costs of funding or maintaining a facility under a Bank
Document;
 (b)
    
    increasing its commitment;
 (c)
    
    reducing its effective return, amounts paid or payable to it, or amounts
received or receivable by it, in respect of the facility; or
 (d)
    
    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), or the overall return on capital of the Bank (or its Related Entities),
 then the Bank will promptly notify the relevant Undertaking Company, who must pay the Bank
the amount the Bank certifies is necessary to compensate it within two Business Days of such
notification. That certificate will give an outline of the calculation, and will be
conclusive and bind the Undertaking Company in the absence of manifest error, however,
nothing in this clause 10.1 obliges the Bank to provide details of its business or tax
affairs which it considers in good faith to be confidential. Compensation need not be in
the form of a lump sum and may be demanded as a series of payments, and the relevant
Undertaking Company agrees to compensate the Bank whether or not the increase or reduction
could have been avoided.
 If the Undertaking Company so requests, the Bank will negotiate in good faith with a view to
finding a means of minimising the effect, but it 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, regulation, treaty,
official directive, ruling, guideline, policy or request (whether or not having the force of
law) or a change in its interpretation, administration or application. 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 (including Basel II), 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 the Bank is entitled to receive adequate compensation

Banks other obligations as indicated in the notice.
 If the illegality or impossibility relates to an advance, the Bank, by giving a notice to
Sims, may require prepayment of all or part of the advance and interest accrued on that part
by the relevant Borrower of that advance. The relevant Borrower agrees to repay the amount
specified immediately after receiving the notice (or at such later time as the Bank may
agree).

    Governing law and jurisdiction
 (a)
    
    Each Bank Document is governed by the law in force in New South Wales. Each

jurisdiction there in relation to each Bank Document (including a dispute regarding the
existence, validity or termination of a Bank Document) (a Dispute).
 (b)
    
    Each Undertaking Company agrees that those courts are an appropriate and
convenient courts to settle Disputes and accordingly no Undertaking Company will argue
to the contrary.
 (c)
    
    Each Undertaking Company irrevocably waives any objection it may now or in the
future have to the venue of any proceedings, and any claim it may now or in the future
have that any proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum, where that venue
falls within clause 14.5(a).
 14.6
    
    Service of process
 (a)

may be served on a party by being delivered to or left at that partys address for
service of notices under clause 14.4(c) (Delivery).
 (b)
    
    Without prejudice to any other mode of service allowed under any relevant law,
each Undertaking Company (other than an Undertaking Company incorporated in Australia):
 (i)
    
    irrevocably appoints Sims as its agent for service of process
in relation to any proceedings under or in connection with any Bank Document;
and
 (ii)
    
    agrees that failure by the process agent to notify the relevant
Undertaking Company of the process will not invalidate the proceedings
concerned.
 (c)
    
    Sims accepts its appointment as process agent under this clause 14.6.
 (d)
    
    If for any reason Sims ceases to be able to act as process agent for an
Undertaking Company, the Undertaking Company must promptly appoint another person in
New South Wales acceptable to the Bank to act as its process agent.
 (e)
    
    Each party expressly agrees and consents to the provisions of this clause 14.6.
 14.7
    
    Application to Bank Documents
 If anything in this clause 14 (General) is inconsistent with a provision in another Bank
Document, then the provision in the other Bank Document prevails for the purposes of that
Bank Document.
 14.8
    
    Prompt performance
 Subject to clause 14.14 (Time of the essence):
 (a)
    
    if a Bank Document specifies when the Undertaking Company agrees to perform an
obligation, the Undertaking Company agrees to perform it by the time specified; and
 (b)
    
    the Undertaking Company agrees to perform all other obligations promptly.
 14.9
    
    Consents
 The Undertaking Company agrees to comply with all conditions in any consent the Bank gives
in connection with a Bank Document.

    Indemnities
 Any indemnity in a Bank Document is a continuing obligation, independent of the Undertaking
Companys other obligations under that Bank Document and continues after the Bank Document
ends. It is not necessary for the Bank to incur expense or make payment before enforcing a
right of indemnity under a Bank Document.
 14.11
    
    Rights and obligations are unaffected
 Rights given to the Bank under a Bank Document and the Undertaking Companys liabilities
under it are not affected by anything which might otherwise affect them at law.
 14.12
    
    Inconsistent law
 To the extent permitted by law, each Bank Document prevails to the extent it is inconsistent
with any law.
 14.13
    
    Supervening legislation
 Any present or future legislation which operates to vary the obligations of the Undertaking
Company in connection with a Bank Document with the result that the Banks rights, powers or
remedies are adversely affected (including by way of delay or postponement) is excluded
except to the extent that its exclusion is prohibited or rendered ineffective by law.14.14

publicly available (including the existence of or contents of any Bank Document) except:
 (a)

or obligations under a Bank Document (including in connection with preparatory steps
such as negotiating with any potential assignee or potential sub-participant or other
person who is considering contracting with the Bank in connection with a Bank
Document); or
 (b)
    
    to a person considering entering into (or who enters into) a credit swap with
the Bank involving credit events relating to the Undertaking Company or any of its
Related Entities; or
 (c)
    
    to officers, employees, legal and other advisers and auditors of the
Undertaking Company or Bank; or
 (d)
    
    to any party to this deed or any Related Entity of any party to this deed,
provided the recipient agrees to act consistently with this clause 14.15; or
 (e)
    
    with the consent of the party who provided the information (such consent not to
be unreasonably withheld); or
 (f)
    
    as required by any law or stock exchange.
 Each party consents to disclosures made in accordance with this clause 14.15.14.16
    
    Dispute resolution
 (a)

has complied with the provisions of this clause 14.16, except to seek urgent
interlocutory relief.
 (b)
    
    If Sims or the Bank become aware of an Issue or a circumstance that is
reasonably likely to result in an Issue, it must promptly notify the other (Initial
Notice), and if the Issue is not resolved within ten (10) Business Days from the date
of that Initial Notice (excluding the date of that Initial Notice) (or such other
period as agreed to in writing between Sims and the Bank), then either Sims or the Bank
may give a written notice to the other specifying the nature and details of the Issue
(Notification).(c)

Initial Notice is provided (excluding the date on which Initial Notice is given) (or
such other period as agreed to in writing between Sims and the Bank), Sims and the Bank
must exchange written acknowledgement of such resolution prior to the end of the ten
(10) Business Day period.(d)
    
    Once a Notification is given in accordance with clause 14.16(b), a Disputeis
taken to have arisen. If no Notification is given in accordance with clause 14.16(b)
or the Issue is resolved and written acknowledgement has been exchanged between Sims
and the Bank in accordance with clause 14.16(c), a Dispute will not be taken to have
arisen in relation to the Issue and the provisions of this clause 14.16 will no longer
apply. If the provisions of this clause 14.16 no longer apply as a result of the
failure of either Sims or the Bank to give a Notification, the matter or thing asserted
by either Sims or the Bank which gave rise to the Issue will be disregarded.(e)
    
    If Sims and the Bank do not resolve the Dispute within ten (10) Business Days
after the Notification is given (excluding the date on which the Notification is given)
(or such other period as agreed to in writing between Sims and the Bank) either Sims or
the Bank may submit the Dispute to expert determination.(f)
    
    If the Dispute is referred to expert determination under clause 14.16(e):
 (i)
    
    both Sims and the Bank may nominate an independent expert with
relevant expertise in accounting, legal and commercial matters to act as expert
and submit this nomination to the other within the earlier of twelve (12)
Business Days after the Notification is given (excluding the date on which the
Notification is given), or two (2) Business Days following a decision by Sims
and the Bank to submit the Dispute to expert determination (excluding the date
on which that decision is reached) (or such other period as agreed to in
writing between Sims and the Bank);(ii)
    
    if only the Bank or only Sims nominates an expert in accordance
with clause 14.16(f)(i), the nominated expert will be taken to have been agreed
to by both Sims and the Bank and that expert will be validly appointed;(iii)
    
    if Sims and the Bank do not agree on the appointment of an
expert within three (3) Business Days after both expert nominations have been
submitted (excluding the date on which both nominations have been submitted),
the matter will be referred to the President of the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of Australia who will nominate an expert to determine the Dispute
and both Sims and the Bank will accept this nomination;(iv)
    
    where Sims is engaged in a dispute with any of its other
lenders (which have adopted a dispute resolution clause in substantially the
same form as this clause 14.16) in relation to the same subject matter as a
Dispute or Issue between Sims and the Bank, the Bank agrees to the common
appointment of an expert to resolve the disputes simultaneously and an expert
appointed in

##### 



these circumstances can only be appointed if the expert accepts a common
appointment;(v)
    
    the terms of the experts retainer must provide that in
resolving the Dispute the expert will, to the extent relevant, be subject to
the then current ACDC Guidelines for Expert Determination, and will use all
reasonable endeavours to ensure that if a Dispute relates to a current
Calculation Period a decision is reached prior to the Calculation Date for that
Calculation Period;(vi)
    
    the terms of the experts retainer must provide that the expert
must provide a decision as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event no
later than the five (5) Business Days from the date of referral (excluding the
date of referral) (or such other period as agreed to in writing between Sims
and the Bank);(vii)
    
    the decision of the expert is final and binding on the Bank
and the Undertaking Companies except in the case of manifest error; and(viii)
    
    if, for any reason:
 (A)
    
    an expert is not appointed within five (5)
Business Days of the expert appointment decision being referred to the
President of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Australia
(excluding the date on which the matter is referred);(B)
    
    or the appointed expert provides Sims and the
Bank with written confirmation that the expert is unable to reach a
decision in relation to the Dispute,
 the provisions of this clause 14.16 will no longer apply to the Dispute and
each of Sims and the Bank may:
 (C)
    
    commence court proceedings; and/or
 (D)
    
    pursue any other remedies that are available to
the relevant party,
 in relation to the matter or thing forming the subject matter of the
Dispute.
 (g)
    
    If a Dispute or Issue first arises prior to the end of a Calculation Period and
is not resolved in accordance with this clause 14.16 by the end of that Calculation
Period, Sims and the Bank agree to use reasonable endeavours to resolve the Dispute or
Issue as soon as possible following the relevant Calculation Date and in any event no
later than 30 Business Days following Sims and the Bank first becoming aware of the
Issue (excluding the date on which both Sims and the Bank first become aware of the
Issue) (or such other period as agreed to in writing between Sims and the Bank).
 (h)
    
    The Bank agrees that prior to the resolution of the Dispute or Issue in
accordance with the provisions of this clause 14.16, or the termination of the dispute
resolution process as contemplated by clause 14.16(f)(viii), the subject matter of any
Dispute or Issue may not be taken into account in determining whether Sims is in breach
of any of the financial undertakings contained in clause 5 of these Standard Terms that
require EBITDA to be calculated.
 (i)
    
    Sims must bear the costs of complying with this clause 14.16 and comply with
the obligations under the Bank Documents during the dispute resolution process
contained in this clause 14.16.
 (j)
    
    In acting under the provisions of this clause 14.16 Sims and the Bank must at
all times use reasonable endeavours to resolve any Dispute or Issue.

(k)
    
    Each Undertaking Company represents and warrants for the benefit of the Bank
that each Other Document that requires or contemplates adjustments to EBITDA contains a
dispute resolution clause in substantially the same form as this clause 14.16.
 14.17
    
    Further steps
 Each Undertaking Company agrees to do anything the Bank asks (such as obtaining consents,
signing and producing documents and getting documents completed and signed):
 (a)
    
    to bind the Undertaking Company and any other person intended to be bound under
the Bank Documents;
 (b)
    
    to enable the Bank to register any power of attorney or any Bank Document; or
 (c)
    
    to show whether the Undertaking Company is complying with this deed.
 14.18
    
    Code of Banking Practice
 The parties agree that the Code of Banking Practice does not apply to the Bank Documents and
the transactions in connection with them.
 14.19
    
    Counterparts
 Each Bank Document may consist of a number of copies, each signed by one or more parties to
that Bank Document. If so, the signed copies are treated as making up the one document.
 This Deed has been entered into on the date stated at the beginning of this Deed.
