	 	For each Tranche, as set out in the Key Terms Schedule
in Schedule 2 to this Agreement (as reduced in
accordance with this Agreement).
	 
	 

	 	That maximum applies to the Borrowers as a whole and is
not a limit applying to each Borrower individually.
	 
	2.2 Cancellation

	 	Sims may cancel all or part of the undrawn Commitment for
a Tranche on 20 Business Days’ Notice to the Lender.
	 
	 

	 	A partial cancellation of the undrawn Commitment for a

with the minimum denominations set out in clause 3.2
(Minimum Denominations).
	 
	 

	 	For the avoidance of doubt, any cancellation (including a
partial cancellation) made pursuant to this clause 2.2
cannot be redrawn.
	 
	 

	 	The Commitment for each Tranche will be automatically
cancelled on the Final Termination Date or as otherwise

ratio of Financial Indebtedness of the Sims Group to
EBITDA will be effective from the beginning of the first
interest period which commences on a date following the
delivery of a Compliance Certificate under clause 4.1(c)
of the Common Terms Deed. The adjusted Margin will apply
until a subsequent Compliance Certificate or Renewal
Notice (as applicable) discloses a change in the ratio of
Financial Indebtedness of the Sims Group to EBITDA.

	 	The Facility is a revolving cash advance facility.

Mandatory Cost, as calculated under the formulae set out
in Schedule 4 to this Agreement. It is payable in
arrears on the last of each interest period and on
repayment or prepayment of the relevant principal.
	 
	 

	 	For each interest period of 7 or 14 days for each
Advance, the Base Rate applicable will be the rate quoted
for those Advances on the LIBOR01 page of Reuters.

Date

Unused Commitment Fee, as part of its offer to the Borrowers to extend its
participation. The Revised Terms will be set out in the Key Terms Schedule attached to

	 	(i)	 	to extend any Final Termination Date; or

Renewal Notice or any amendment to a Transaction Document pursuant to this clause 3.6
or a Renewal Notice does not:

	 	(i)	 	affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any
other Transaction Document;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	prejudice or adversely affect any right, power, authority,
discretion or remedy arising under this Agreement or any other Transaction

obligation arising under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document

4 CALCULATION OF INTEREST

	 	(a)	 	Interest for each Advance accrues daily on the outstanding principal.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Interest is calculated on actual days elapsed and a year of 365 days for
Australian dollars and Pounds Sterling and a year of 360 days for US dollars and euros.
For other Available Currencies, the basis will be advised by the Lender.
	 
	 	(c)	 	It will be determined by reference to interest periods selected by the Borrower
of the Advance. Each period begins on the Drawdown Date or on the last day of the
previous interest period.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Unless the Lender agrees otherwise, interest periods must be of 7 or 14 days or
of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 months. If an interest period would end on a day that is not a
Business Day, then it will end on the previous Business Day.
	 
	 	(e)	 	If an interest period begins on a date for which there is no corresponding date
in the month in which it is to end, it will end on the last Business Day of that month.
	 
	 	(f)	 	The relevant Borrower must select interest periods for Advances so that they do
not expire after the Final Termination Date.
	 
	 	(g)	 	The Borrower will select the interest period for an Advance in the Drawdown
Notice. It will select each subsequent interest period by written notice to the
Lender’s office that made the Advance by 10 am (local time) at least 2 Business Days
before the end of the previous interest period. If the Borrower fails to select a
period, it will be taken to have selected one of 3 months.

WESTPAC AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITY AGREEMENT

5.2 Rollovers

	 	(a)	 	The Borrower of an Advance will repay it on the last day of its interest
period. However, if all or part of the Advance is to continue in the same currency for
a further interest period, the amount of the Advance which is to continue need not be
repaid at the end of that interest period except as follows.
	 
	 	(b)	 	The Borrower of an Advance may switch an Advance from one currency to another
at the end of an interest period, but only by repaying the Advance in the first
currency and redrawing it in the second currency. The ability of a Borrower to redraw
the Advance in the second currency will be subject to the other provisions of this
Agreement.

5.3 Repayments and prepayments

	 	(a)	 	(repayments) The Borrower of each Advance will repay the amount lent in
accordance with clause 2.7 (Repayment) of this Agreement, and in any event also repay
each Advance at the end of its interest period except to the extent it is being
redrawn.
	 
	 	(b)	 	(prepayments) At any time the relevant Borrower may prepay all or part of the
amount lent if it gives at least 5 Business Days’ prior written notice. Partial
prepayments must be in multiples of A$5,000,000 (or, if in any other Available
Currency, multiples that comply with the Minimum Denominations in clause 3.2).
	 
	 	(c)	 	(cleandown) In respect of a Tranche, if at any time the aggregate of the amount
of all Advances denominated in the Commitment Currency for that Tranche and the
Equivalent Amount of all Advances denominated in a currency other than the Commitment
Currency for that Tranche (the Current Aggregate) exceeds 110% of the Commitment for
that Tranche, then, if required by written notice from the Lender, Sims must within the
period stated in the notice (to the extent that it has borrowed an Advance) repay, or
ensure that a Borrower repays, an amount sufficient to ensure that the Current
Aggregate does not exceed the Commitment for the Tranche.

	 	(a)	 	there is any change in applicable law or any change in national or
international financial, political or economic conditions, currency availability,
exchange rates or exchange contracts which make it impractical for a particular Advance
to be denominated in the selected Available Currency during an interest period; or

	 	(b)	 	any necessary government approval is not obtained,

	 	 	 	then the Lender must notify Sims promptly,

	 	 	 	and:

	 	(c)	 	if the relevant Drawdown Notice requested that the Advance be made in
Australian dollars if the relevant Available Currency was unavailable, or
	 
	 	(d)	 	Sims and the Lender agree,

	 	 	 	the Advance will be made in Australian dollars. Otherwise, the Drawdown Notice will be
cancelled.

6.2 Market Disturbance

	 	(a)	 	The Lender may give a notice (a Disturbance Notice) to Sims at any time before
the beginning of an interest period if the Lender forms the view that market conditions
in the relevant financial market for the currency concerned are seriously disturbed.

	 	(b)	 	This includes circumstances where, in the Lender’s opinion, adequate and fair
means are not available for fixing the Base Rate, or deposits in the currency concerned
are not available in the ordinary course of business to the Lender in the relevant
financial market, or the cost to the Lender of obtaining deposits in the relevant
financial market exceeds the Base Rate, or because of national or international
financial, political or economic circumstances or exchange rates or exchange controls
it is impractical for it to fund the Advance for the interest period.
	 
	 	(c)	 	If a Disturbance Notice relates to an Advance which has not been made, the
Lender’s obligations to make the Advance shall be suspended while it and Sims negotiate
alternative arrangements. If they reach agreement within 30 days, those alternative
arrangements will apply. If they do not reach agreement within that period, the Lender
will be released from its obligations to make the Advance.
	 
	 	(d)	 	If the Disturbance Notice relates to an Advance which has been made, the Lender
will maintain the Advance, and will within 30 days after giving the Disturbance Notice
notify Sims of an alternative basis for maintaining the Advance. Sims will comply with
the alternative basis. The Lender and Sims will consult monthly while the alternative
basis is in force, and if the circumstances which justified the establishment of the
alternative basis cease to apply, the Lender will revoke the alternative basis as
promptly as practicable.
	 
	 	(e)	 	An alternative basis may be retrospective to the beginning of the relevant
interest period, and may include alternative currencies, interest periods or methods of
fixing the interest rate.

7 PAYMENTS AND DEFAULT INTEREST

7.1 Time of payment

	 	 	 	Unless otherwise stated, amounts payable under this clause are payable within 2 Business
Days of demand.

7.2 Default interest

	 	 	 	Interest will accrue each day on each amount due but unpaid. The Borrowers will pay it on
demand. The rate will be 2% per annum plus, for Available Currencies other than Australian
dollars, the Lender’s funding rate for making loans in that currency (as determined by the
Lender for periods determined by the Lender) from time to time plus the Margin; and for
Australian dollars, the Lender’s advertised “reference lending rate” (or any equivalent rate
which is substituted for this rate from time to time). That interest accrues before and
after any judgment. Unless it does not do so more often the Lender will be taken to have
debited monthly the relevant Borrower’s account with accrued interest under this clause 7.2.
That interest will then itself bear interest.

8 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

8.1 Representations and warranties

	 	 	 	Each Borrower makes the representations and warranties contained in clause 3 of the Common
Terms Deed to the Lender in respect of itself and on behalf of each other Transaction Party
(except where the representation and warranty is expressed to apply to Sims only in which
case Sims gives the relevant representation and warranty), as if those representations and
warranties were set out in full in this clause 8.1.

10 EVENTS OF DEFAULT

10.1 Events of Default

	 	(a)	 	An Event of Default occurs if an “Event of Default” as defined in the Common
Terms Deed occurs.

	 	(b)	 	If an amount is paid to the Lender to cover an amount contingently owing, the
Lender will hold that amount in an interest bearing account until the amount becomes
actually owing or ceases to be contingently owing. The Lender will then apply the
amount in the account (including interest) in payment of the amount actually owing and
return the balance to the relevant Borrower.

10.2 Incorporation of provisions

	 	 	Clauses 5.2 to 5.4 (inclusive) of the Common Terms Deed apply to this Agreement as if set
out in full in this Agreement and as if references in those clauses to “this deed” were to
“this Agreement”.

10.3 Termination of facilities

	 	 	Where a Transaction Document specifies that a facility can be terminated by the Lender at
any time, the Lender may at any time do either of the things specified in (1) or (2) of
clause 5.2(a) of the Common Terms Deed whether or not an Event of Default has occurred.

incidentally or ultimately, for purchasing or carrying any “margin security” or “margin stock”

	7.16	 	Judgments
	 
	 	 	A final judgment obtained against a relevant Transaction Party is conclusive as
against each Guarantor.
	 
	7.17	 	Limitation of Liability
	 
	(a)	 	If any court of competent jurisdiction determines that all or any portion of a Guarantor’s
guarantee obligations under this clause 7 are subject to avoidance under any applicable
Fraudulent Transfer Law, then such guarantee obligations, notwithstanding any other provision
of this clause 7, shall be limited to the maximum amount that would not be subject to such
avoidance. For the purposes of determining the maximum non-avoidable amount, each Guarantor’s
assets will include, without limitation, its rights of indemnification and contribution
against all other Guarantors under clause 7.17(b) or applicable law. Fraudulent Transfer Laws
means Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code and any laws of any other jurisdiction
(including any state of the United States) allowing the avoidance of constructive fraudulent
conveyances.
	 
	(b)	 	Each Guarantor (for the purposes of this clause 7.17(b), a Contributing Party) agrees that,
in the event any other Guarantor makes a payment in respect of its guarantee obligations under
this clause 7, the Contributing Party shall indemnify such other Guarantor in an amount equal
to the amount of such payment multiplied by a fraction whose numerator is the Contributing
Party’s net worth and whose denominator is the aggregate net worth of all the Guarantors. In
each case, the net worth of a Contributing Party and each other Guarantor will be determined
as of the date it became a Guarantor. This clause 7.17(b) is subject to, and shall not
affect, any Guarantor’s rights or obligations under clause 7.13.
	 
	(c)	 	This clause 7.17 applies only to Guarantors which are subject to any order, filing or
proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States of America and then only to the
extent that a Lender and Sims agree that it is to apply in respect of a Guarantor under a
Lender’s Transaction Documents.
	 
	8	 	German Guarantors
	 
	(a)	 	To the extent that any obligation under this deed, in particular (but not exclusively) the
guarantee and/or the indemnity created under clause 7 is undertaken and/or granted by a German
Guarantor (a German Guarantee) and the German Guarantee guarantees to a Lender amounts, or
creates obligations to a Lender (the Relevant Lender) for amounts which are owed by direct or
indirect shareholders of the German Guarantor or affiliated companies of such shareholders
(with the exception of affiliated companies which are also direct subsidiaries of the German
Guarantor), the German Guarantee to the Relevant Lender shall be subject to certain
limitations as set out in clause 8(b). In relation to any other amounts guaranteed, the German
Guarantee remains unlimited.
	 
	(b)	 	To the extent that a demand under this deed is made by a Relevant Lender upon a German
Guarantor in respect of amounts in relation to which the conditions pursuant to clause 8(a)
are fulfilled, the relevant German Guarantor’s liability shall be limited, in respect of that
demand only:

	 	(1)	 	if the value of that German Guarantor’s Net Assets is greater than its
stated share capital at the time of the demand, to that amount such that after
payment

Common Terms Deed

9 Payments

	 	 	 	of that amount the value of the German Guarantor’s Net Assets is not less than
its stated share capital (Stammkapital); or
	 
	 	(2)	 	if the value of its Net Assets is lower than its stated share capital at
the time of the demand, to nil,
	 
	 	 	 	for the purpose of not affecting its assets which are required for the
obligatory preservation of its stated share capital according to §§ 30, 31
German GmbH-Act (GmbH-Gesetz).

	(c)	 	In this clause 8, Net Assets (Nettovermögen) means the sum of the German Guarantor’s assets
pursuant to Section 266 para. 2 A, B and C of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch),
less the sum of the German Guarantor’s liabilities pursuant to Section 266, paragraphs 3 B, C
(but disregarding, for the avoidance of doubt, the obligations under clause 7 of this deed) D
and E of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch) each as shown in a balance sheet as of
the date on which the enforcement of the German Guarantee is sought (Stichtagsbilanz) whereby
the balance sheet shall be adjusted as set out under clause 8(d).
	 
	(d)	 	For the purposes of calculating the Net Assets, the following balance sheet items shall be
adjusted as follows:

	 	(1)	 	loans provided to the German Guarantor shall be disregarded, if and to the
extent such loans have been made available, directly or indirectly to the German
Guarantor from funds made available by the Relevant Lender;
	 
	 	(2)	 	the amount of any increase of the stated share capital (Stammkapital) of
the German Guarantor registered after the date of such German Guarantor becoming a
party to this deed without the prior written consent of the Relevant Lender shall be
deducted from the relevant stated share capital;
	 
	 	(3)	 	loans provided to the German Guarantor by any of its affiliated entities
shall be disregarded if and to the extent such loans are subordinated, or are
considered subordinated pursuant to Section 39, paragraph 1, number 5 German
Insolvency Act (InsO); and
	 
	 	(4)	 	loans and other liabilities incurred in violation of the provisions of the
Transaction Documents shall be disregarded.

	(e)	 	This clause 8 shall apply mutatis mutandis if the German Guarantee is granted by a Guarantor
incorporated in Germany as a limited liability partnership (GmbH & Co. KG) in relation to the
limited liability company as general partner (Komplementär) of such Guarantor and also if the
German Guarantee is granted by a Guarantor incorporated in Germany as an open trading company
(Offene Handelsgesellschaft) in relation to a limited liability company as shareholder
(Komplementär) of such Guarantor.

receives from a Transaction Party under any Transaction Document,
	 
	 	 	the Transaction Party:
	 
	(c)	 	indemnifies the Lender against that Tax; and
	 
	(d)	 	must pay to the Lender an additional amount which the Lender determines to be necessary to
ensure that the Lender receives when due a net amount (after payment of any Tax in respect of
each additional amount) that is equal to the full amount it would have received if a deduction
or withholding or payment of Tax had not been made.
	 
	9.5	 	Taxation deduction procedures
	 
	 	 	If clause 9.4(a) applies:

attributable to that additional payment; and
	 
	(b)	 	the Lender has obtained, utilised and retained that Tax Credit,
	 
	 	 	then the Lender must pay an amount to the Transaction Party which the Lender determines
will leave it (after that payment) in the same after Tax position as it would have been in
had the additional payment not been made by the Transaction Party.
	 
	9.7	 	Tax affairs
	 
	 	 	Nothing in clause 9.6:
	 
	(a)	 	interferes with the right of the Lender to arrange its tax affairs in any manner it thinks
fit;
	 
	(b)	 	obliges the Lender to investigate the availability of, or claim, any Tax Credit; or
	 
	(c)	 	obliges the Lender to disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any tax

	(a)	 	If a Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting it or any of its holding companies
(each a Holding Company) directly or indirectly:

under the Transaction Documents of that Lender or funding or maintaining that
Lender’s participation in that Lender’s Facility;
	 
	 	(2)	 	reduces any amount received or receivable by the Lender under the
Transaction Documents of that Lender; or
	 
	 	(3)	 	in any other way reduces the effective return to the Lender or any Holding
Company under the Transaction Documents of that Lender or the overall return on
capital of the Lender or any Holding Company,
	 
	 	 	 	(each an Increased Cost), the Borrowers must pay to the Lender on demand
compensation for the Increased Cost to the extent attributed by the Lender or
Holding Company (using the methods it considers appropriate) to the Lender’s
obligations under the Transaction Documents of that Lender or the funding or
maintenance of that Lender’s Facility.

	(b)	 	A Transaction Party is not obliged to pay compensation under this clause if the relevant
increased cost, reduction in the amount receivable or reduction in return on capital is:

	 	(1)	 	fully compensated for by clause 9.4; or
	 
	 	(2)	 	attributable to the wilful breach of any law by the Lender claiming the
benefit of the clause or a breach by the Lender of the terms of a Transaction
Document.

	(c)	 	A claim under clause 10.1(a) in the absence of manifest error, is sufficient evidence of the
amount to which the Lender is entitled under clause 10.1(a) unless the contrary is proved.

obligations under the Transaction Documents of that Lender or fund or maintain that Lender’s
Facility, that Lender may by notice to Sims:

	 	(1)	 	suspend all or part of its obligations under the Transaction Documents for
the duration of the illegality; or

Borrowers to repay the Outstanding Moneys in part or in full on the date which is 40
Business Days after the date on which the Lender gives the notice or any earlier date
required by, or to comply with, the applicable law, provided that if the Lender
determines in its absolute discretion that the illegality can be avoided by a partial
suspension or cancellation, then the Lender may only suspend its obligations or
cancel its commitment under this clause 10.2 to the extent it considers necessary to
avoid the illegality.

	(b)	 	A notice under clause 10.2(a)(2) is irrevocable and the Borrowers must, on the repayment date
determined under clause 10.2(a)(2), pay to the relevant Lender the Outstanding Moneys of that

period of 90 days to make the relevant financial accommodation available by some alternative
means including changing its Lending Office or making the financial accommodation available
through a Related Body Corporate provided that nothing in this clause 10.2 will oblige the
Lender to incur any costs or expenses or take any action or refrain from taking any action
where, in the opinion of the Lender, the taking of that action or the refraining from taking
that action is impractical, may be prejudicial to the Lender or is contrary to the Lender’s
policies.

other than on the scheduled date for repayment or discharge;

	 	 	the Borrower indemnifies the Lender or Attorney against any shortfall between the amount
payable in the Relevant Currency and the amount actually or notionally received or
recovered by the Lender or Attorney after the Payment Currency is converted or translated
into the Relevant Currency under clause 11.3.
	 
	11.3	 	Conversion of currencies
	 
	 	 	In making any currency conversion under clause 11.2, the Lender or Attorney may

of the Transaction Party, despite:

	 	 	 	and remains in full force and effect until the Outstanding Moneys are fully and

any Transaction Document.

two (2) Business Days following a decision by Sims and the Lender 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 Lender);

	 	(2)	 	if only the Lender or only Sims nominates an expert by the time specified
in, and otherwise in accordance with, clause 17.3(f)(1), the nominated expert will be
taken to have been agreed to by both Sims and the Lender and that expert will be

have adopted a dispute resolution clause in substantially the same form as this
clause 17.3) in relation to the same subject matter as a Dispute or Issue between
Sims and the Lender, the Lender 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;

	 	(5)	 	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;

	 	(6)	 	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 Lender);

	 	(7)	 	the decision of the expert is final and binding on the Lender and the
Transaction Parties except in the case of manifest error; and

	 	(8)	 	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); or
	 
	 	(B)	 	the appointed expert provides Sims
and the Lender with written confirmation that the expert is unable
to reach a decision in relation to the Dispute,

	 	 	 	the provisions of this clause 17.3 will no longer apply to the Dispute
and each of Sims and the Lender 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 17.3 by the end of that Calculation Period, Sims and
the Lender 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
