     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned (the “Borrower”) hereby promises to pay to Bank of

payment (and before as well as after judgment) computed at the per annum rate set forth in the
Agreement.

     This Note is one of the Notes referred to in the Agreement, is entitled to the benefits
thereof and may be prepaid in whole or in part subject to the terms and conditions provided
therein. This Note is also entitled to the benefits of the Guaranty. Upon the occurrence and
continuation of one or more of the Events of Default specified in the Agreement, all amounts then
remaining unpaid on this Note shall become, or may be declared to be, immediately due and payable
all as provided in the Agreement. Loans made by the Lender shall be evidenced by one or more loan
accounts or records maintained by the Lender in the ordinary course of business. The Lender may
also attach schedules to this Note and endorse thereon the date, amount, currency and maturity of
its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

     The Borrower, for itself, its successors and assigns, hereby waives diligence, presentment,
protest and demand and notice of protest, demand, dishonor and non-payment of this Note.

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.

then the Bank must notify Sims promptly,

and:

	 	(c)	 	if the relevant Drawdown Notice requested that the Advance be made in
Australian dollars if the relevant Alternative Currency was unavailable, or

	 	(d)	 	Sims and the Bank agree,

[*] Confidential Treatment Requested

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

	 	(a)	 	(Disturbance Notice) The Bank may give a notice (a Disturbance Notice) to Sims
at any time (Disturbance Notice Date) if the Bank forms the view that market conditions
in the relevant financial market for the currency concerned are seriously disturbed,
including without limitation as a result of the conditions described in this clause 6.2
(Market Disturbance).

	 	(b)	 	(Market Disturbance Premium) If the Bank gives a Disturbance Notice as a result
of circumstances where, in the Bank’s opinion:

	 	(i)	 	adequate and fair means are not available for fixing the Base
Rate in respect of AUD or any Alternative Currency, or

	 	(ii)	 	the cost to the Bank of obtaining deposits in the relevant
financial market or other funds to fund an Advance exceeds the Base Rate,

the Bank will, in the Disturbance Notice, notify Sims of the rate at which the Bank
(acting commercially and in good faith) will charge a premium to be added to the
Interest Rate in respect of Interest Periods for each Advance which commence on or
after the Disturbance Notice Date, which rate will be the rate that reflects the
Bank’s cost of funding the Advances from whatever sources it may reasonably select.
The rate must be expressed as a percentage rate per annum and be rounded up to the
nearest fourth decimal place (Market Disturbance Premium).

At the beginning of each calendar quarter that commences after the Disturbance
Notice Date, the Bank may amend the Market Disturbance Premium that applies to new
Advances advanced on or after the beginning of that calendar quarter or, in the case
of existing Advances, to new Interest Periods commencing on or after the beginning
of that calendar quarter.

Portions of the Market Disturbance Premium may differ for each Interest Period for
an Advance and also according to which currency that Advance may be made. Despite
this, the Bank need not inform any Obligor which portions of the Market Disturbance
Premium relate to particular Advances, particular Interest Periods for an Advance,
particular currencies for an Advance or any other factor when notifying Sims of that
Market Disturbance Premium for the Facility. The Bank is not required to give Sims
calculations showing how the Market Disruption Premium has been ascertained, nor is
required to provide details of its business or tax affairs.

Sims agrees to pay the Market Disturbance Premium on all Advances and in respect of
each Interest Period for those Advances on the relevant Interest Payment Dates
during an Interest Period for that Advance provided that the Market Disturbance
Premium that is to apply is advised to Sims prior to the drawdown for that Advance
or the commencement of a new Interest Period.

The Bank will promptly notify Sims once it determines the circumstances requiring a
Market Disturbance Premium have ceased to exist. From the time of such notice, no
Market Disturbance Premium for new Advances or new Interest Periods will be payable
unless a further Disturbance Notice is delivered to Sims.

Sims acknowledges and agrees the Bank has given a Disturbance Notice to it on or
about the date of this Letter of Offer and that the Market Disturbance Premium will
apply to the Facility and all Advances made under it in respect of the first
calendar quarter during which this Letter of Offer is signed.

	 	(c)	 	(Alternative Arrangements) If the Bank gives a Disturbance Notice as a result
of circumstances where, in the Bank’s opinion:

	 	(i)	 	because of national or international financial, political or
economic circumstances or exchange rates or exchange controls it is impractical
for it to fund or continue to fund the Advance for the Interest Period; or

	 	(ii)	 	deposits in the currency concerned are not available in the
ordinary course of business to the Bank in the relevant financial market, and
the Disturbance Notice relates to an Advance which has not been made,

	 	 	 	then the Bank’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 Bank will be released from its obligations to make the Advance.
	 
	 	(d)	 	(Alternative Basis) If the Disturbance Notice given under paragraph (c) relates
to an Advance which has been made, the Bank will maintain the Advance, and will within
30 days after giving the Disturbance Notice notify Sims of an alternative basis
(Alternative Basis) for maintaining the Advance.
	 
	 	 	 	Sims will comply with the Alternative Basis. The Bank 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 Bank will revoke the
Alternative Basis as promptly as practicable.
	 
	 	 	 	An Alternative Basis may include, in the Bank’s absolute discretion:

	 	(i)	 	alternative currencies;

	 	(ii)	 	alternative Interest Periods; or
	 
	 	(iii)	 	alternative methods of fixing the interest rate.

	7	 	BREAK COSTS
	 
	 	 	If for any reason a Borrower repays an amount of an Advance during an Interest Period,
then it must pay an amount certified by the Bank to be its break costs within 2 Business
Days of demand. The Bank’s break costs are the amount determined by it to be the costs
incurred by it (including loss of margin, and the cost of liquidating or redeploying
deposits), by reason of the repayment of the Advance.
	 
	8	 	GOVERNING LAW & JURISDICTION
	 
	 	 	This letter is governed by New South Wales law. Sims and the Borrowers accept the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts having jurisdiction there.
	 
	9	 	INTERPRETATION
	 
	9.1	 	Definitions
	 
	 	 	Acceptance Date has the meaning given in clause 1 of this Letter of Offer.
	 
	 	 	Advance means the outstanding principal amount of a drawdown made under the Facility.

Alternative Currency means:

	 	(a)	 	US dollars, Pounds Sterling or euro; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	any other currency (excluding Australian dollars) agreed by the Bank in its
absolute discretion which is freely transferable and convertible into US dollars.

A$, AUD or Australian dollars means the lawful currency of Australia.

Availability Period means the period from the Acceptance Date until the Repayment Date.

Base Rate means:

	 	(a)	 	in relation to Australian dollars, BBR;
	 
	 	(b)	 	in relation to US dollars and Pounds Sterling, LIBOR;
	 
	 	(c)	 	in relation to euro, EURIBOR; and
	 
	 	(d)	 	in relation to other Alternative Currencies, the rate notified by the Bank to
Sims or the Borrower as the Bank’s funding rate for making loans in the currency
concerned for the relevant Interest Period.

BBR means, for an Interest Period, the average bid rate for Bills having a tenor closest to
the Interest Period as displayed on the Reuters BBSY page of the Reuters Monitor System on
the first day of that Interest Period, except in respect of Advances which have a tenor of 7
days or 14 days, BBR will be the average bid rate for Bills having a tenor of 30 days.
However, if:

	 	(a)	 	the average bid rate for the relevant tenor described above is not displayed by
10.30 am on that day or if it is displayed but there is an obvious error in that rate,
BBR means the rate set by the Bank in good faith at approximately 10.30 am on that day,
having regard, to the extent possible, to the rates otherwise bid for Bills of that
tenor at or around that time (including any displayed on the “BBSW” page of the Reuters
Monitor System). The rate set by the Bank must be expressed as a percentage rate per
annum and be rounded up to the nearest fourth decimal place; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	the basis on which those rates are displayed is changed to one which, in the
Bank’s opinion, does not reflect its cost of funding the Advance, then BBR will be the
rate calculated by the Bank as its cost of raising deposits in Australian Dollars for a
term comparable to the Interest Period from leading banks in the Australian Interbank
Market.

Branch means the Sydney Branch and the Offshore Banking Unit, as the case may be.

Business Day means despite the terms of the Standard Terms, in relation to the drawing of

	 	(iv)	 	(in relation to any date for payment or purchase of euro) which
is also a TARGET Day;

but not a day which is a public holiday the country of the currency of the Advance,

(for Australian dollar Advances made by the Bank, Sydney and for purposes not connected with
the Sydney Branch) means a weekday on which the Bank is open at its address in Sydney
referred to above.

Disturbance Notice has the meaning given to it in clause 6.2 of this Letter of Offer.

Drawdown Date means the date on which an Advance is, or is to be, made.

Drawdown Notice means a notice in the form set out in Schedule 3 to this Letter of Offer
(properly completed and executed and containing the information and representations and
warranties set out therein).

the equivalent of that amount in Australian dollars, determined by reference to the Bank
Sydney’s spot rate of exchange for buying Australian dollars with the Alternative Currency
two (2) Business Days before that date. For purposes of determining the unused portion of
the Commitment, the Equivalent Amount shall be determined at the Drawdown Date and the first
day of each subsequent Interest Period.

Extension Request means a completed notice in writing, substantially in the form of, and
containing the information and representations and warranties set out in, schedule 4
(“Extension Request”) and signed by an Authorised Officer of Sims.

EURIBOR in relation to any Advance denominated in Euro and for a period means (unless
otherwise agreed):

	 	(a)	 	the percentage rate per annum determined by the Banking Federation of the
European Union for Euro and the relevant period displayed on the EURIBOR page of the
Reuters screen; or

	 	(b)	 	subject to the final paragraph below, if the screen rate specified in paragraph
(a) above is not available for the period of the Advance, the arithmetic mean of the
rates (rounded upwards to four decimal places) as supplied to the Bank at its request
quoted by at least three Reference Banks to leading banks in the European inter-bank
market,

as of 11.00am (Brussels time) two TARGET Days before the first day of the period for the
offering of deposits in Euro for a period comparable to the Interest Period of the relevant
Advance.

[*] Confidential Treatment Requested

The relevant inter-bank market for Euro and EURIBOR is the inter-bank market for Euro
operating in the United Kingdom and those member states of the European Union that have
adopted the single currency in accordance with legislation of the European Union relating to
European Monetary Union.

For the purposes of paragraph (b), other than in respect of a period of less than one month,
if the rate is not available only as a consequence of the relevant period not having a tenor
quoted on the relevant screen page, then the rate will be determined by the Bank through the
use of straight line interpolation by reference to two rates, one of which shall be
determined as if the period were the period of time for which rates are available next
shorter than the length of the period and the other of which shall be determined as if the
period were the period of time for which rates are available next longer than the length of
the period.

euro and € means the single lawful currency of a Participating Member State.

Facility means the facility made available under this Letter of Offer.

for a period comparable to the relevant Interest Period which appears on Reuters Screen

however, there are no rates displayed for a term comparable to that Interest Period, or the
basis on which those rates are displayed is changed to one which, in the Bank’s opinion,
does not reflect its cost of funding the Advance, then LIBOR will be the rate calculated by
the Bank as its cost of raising deposits in that currency for a term comparable to the
Interest Period from leading banks in the London Interbank Market.

Offshore Banking Unit means the Bank’s offshore banking unit located at the date of this
agreement in Melbourne.

Original Dollar Amount means, in relation to an Australian dollar Advance, the Australian

SCHEDULE 3 — MANDATORY COST FORMULAE

	1.	 	The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate lenders for the cost
of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services
Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions)
or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank.
	 
	2.	 	On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Bank shall
calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost Rate”) in accordance with the
paragraphs set out below.
	 
	3.	 	The Additional Cost Rate will be calculated as follows:

	 	(a)	 	in relation to a sterling Advance:

	 	(b)	 	in relation to an Advance in any currency other than sterling:

Where:

	 	A	 	is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be
in excess of any stated minimum) which the Bank 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 the
Bank 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 the Bank on interest bearing Special Deposits.
	 
	 	E	 	is the rate of charge payable by the Bank to the Financial
Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Regulations (but, for this purpose,
ignoring any minimum fee required pursuant to the Fees Regulations) and
expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Fee Base of that Lender.

For the purposes of this Schedule:

	 	(a)	 	“Eligible Liabilities” and “Special Deposits” have the meanings given to them
from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be
appropriate) by the Bank of England;

such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the

	4.	 	In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as
percentages (i.e. 5 per cent. will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05). A
negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting
figures shall be rounded to four decimal places.
	 
	5.	 	If, in the reasonable opinion of the Bank, the above formulae or definitions are incorrect
or erroneous or inapplicable, the Bank is entitled by notice to Sims to change the relevant
formulae or definitions so as to ensure that the Additional Cost Rate is sufficient to
compensate the Bank for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of
England, the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which
replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank (or
any other authority which replaces all or any of its function).
	 
	6.	 	Bank may from time to time, after consultation with Sims determine and notify to Sims any
amendments which are required to be made to this attachment in order to comply with any change
in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the
Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other
authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the
absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on Sims and the Borrowers.
