by notice in writing to the Chargor.

be regarded as varied to the amount specified in that notice.

 

(c)                               Neither clause 2.6(a) nor clause 2.6(b) in any
way affects or limits the actual amount of
Secured Moneys which may in fact be secured by the Charge.

 

(d)                              Clauses 2.6(a), (b) and (c) are to be construed

charge has crystallised.

workers’ compensation or public liability policy or reinstatement policy to the
extent that the proceeds are paid to a person:

(f)                                 If a Power arising under this clause 2.7 is waived, the fixed

which becomes payable on or in respect of this deed as a result of clause 2.8(b) applying
to increase any amount recoverable.

6.6                              Powers
exercisable by the Chargee

 

(a)                               Whether or not a Receiver is appointed under clause 6.1, the

(b)                              The exercise of any Power by the Chargee, Receiver or Attorney does

(2)                               to account as mortgagee in possession; or

of application

 

(a)                               At any time after the occurrence of an Accelerated Event of Default,
all money received by the Chargee, Receiver, Attorney or any other person

to the extent not prohibited by law.

 

(b)                              Failing a determination under clause 7.1(a), the money must be
applied in the following manner and order:

 

(1)                               first, in payment of all amounts which, to the extent required by
law, have priority over the payments specified in the balance of clause 7.1(b);

 

(2)                               second, in payment of all costs, charges and expenses (including any

in accordance with their terms; and

 

(8)                             eighth, in payment of the surplus, if any, without interest to the
Chargor. The Chargee, Receiver or Attorney may pay the surplus to the
credit of an account in the name of the Chargor in the books of any bank

Chargee, Receiver or Attorney may retain an amount equal to the amount
contingently owing or any part of it.

on the amount contingently owing, in accordance with clause 7.1.

Chargor,

 

are or are regarded as credited and debited, as the case may be,
to the new account.

 

(c)                               The payments by the Chargor under clause 7.4(b) must be
applied:

 

(1)                               first, in reduction of the debit balance, if any, in the new
account; and

 

(2)                               second, if there is no debit balance in the new account, in
reduction of the Secured Moneys which have not been debited or regarded as

contrary is proved.

 

7.6                              Chargee’s

(a)                               The receipt of any Officer of the Chargee for any money payable to
or received by the Chargee under this deed exonerates the payer from all
liability to enquire whether any of the Secured Moneys have become payable.

 

(b)                              Every receipt of an Officer of the Chargee effectually discharges
the payer from:

 

(1)                               any future liability to pay the amount specified in the receipt; and

 

(2)                               being concerned to see to the application of, or being answerable or
accountable for any loss or misapplication of, the amount specified in the
receipt.

any Collateral Security, or exercising any Power, the Chargee is not required
to give any notice or allow the expiration of any time to any person.

 

(c)                               If a law which requires a period of notice to be given cannot be
excluded, but that law allows the period to be specified or changed, then that
period of time is one day.

 

10.2                       Continuing
security

 

The Charge is a continuing security despite:

 

(a)                               any settlement of account; or

 

(b)                              the occurrence of any other thing,

 

and remains in full force and effect until the Chargee has given a
discharge of the Charge in respect of all the Charged Property under
clause 3.

 

10.3                       No
merger of security

 

(a)                               Nothing in this deed merges, extinguishes, postpones, lessens or
otherwise prejudicially affects:

 

(1)                               any Encumbrance or indemnity in favour of the Chargee;

 

(2)                               any indemnity in favour of the Chargee contained in any Transaction
Document; or

 

(3)                               any right, power, authority, discretion or remedy which the Chargee may have
against the Chargor or any other person at any time.

 

(b)                              No other Encumbrance or Transaction Document which the Chargee has
the benefit of in any way prejudicially affects any Power.

 

10.4                       Exclusion
of moratorium

 

To the extent not excluded by law, a provision of any legislation which
directly or indirectly:

 

(a)                               lessens or otherwise varies or affects in favour of the Chargor any
obligations under this deed or any Transaction Document; or

 

(b)                              stays, postpones or otherwise prevents or prejudicially affects the
exercise by the Chargee, Receiver or Attorney of any Power,

 

is negatived and excluded from this deed and any Transaction Document
and all relief and protection conferred on the Chargor by or under that
legislation is also negatived and excluded.

 

10.5                       Conflict

 

Where any right, power, authority, discretion or remedy of the Chargee,
Receiver or an Attorney under this deed or any Transaction Document is
inconsistent with the powers conferred by applicable law then, to the extent
not prohibited by that law, those powers conferred by applicable law are
regarded as negatived or varied to the extent of the inconsistency.

 

 

10.6                       Completion
of blank securities

 

At any time after the Charge has become enforceable, the Chargee,
Receiver, Attorney or any Officer of the Chargee may complete, in favour
of the Chargee, any appointee of the Chargee or any purchaser, any instrument
executed in blank by or on behalf of the Chargor and deposited with the Chargee
as security under this deed or under any Collateral Security.

 

10.7                       Principal
obligations

 

The Charge and each Collateral Security is:

 

(a)                               a principal obligation and is not ancillary or collateral to any
other Encumbrance (other than another Collateral Security) or other obligation;
and

 

(b)                              independent of, and unaffected by, any other Encumbrance or other
obligation which the Chargee may hold at any time in respect of the
Secured Moneys.

 

10.8                       No
obligation to marshal

 

Before the Chargee enforces the Charge, it is not required to marshal
or to enforce or apply under, or appropriate, recover or exercise:

 

(a)                               any Encumbrance or Collateral Security held, at any time, by the
Chargee; or

 

(b)                              any moneys or assets which the Chargee, at any time, holds or is
entitled to receive.

 

10.9                       Non-avoidance

 

If any payment by the Chargor to the Chargee is at any time avoided for
any reason including any legal limitation, disability or incapacity of or
affecting the Chargor or any other thing, and whether or not:

 

(a)                               any transaction relating to the Secured Moneys was illegal, void or
substantially avoided; or

 

(b)                              any thing was or ought to have been within the knowledge of the
Chargee,

 

the Chargor:

 

(c)                               as an additional, separate and independent obligation, indemnifies
the Chargee against that avoided payment; and

 

(d)                              acknowledges that any liability of the Chargor under the Transaction
Documents and any right or remedy of the Chargee under the Transaction
Documents is the same as if that payment had not been made.

 

10.10                Increase
in financial accommodation

 

The Chargee may at any time increase the financial accommodation
provided under any Transaction Document or otherwise provide further financial

12                                 General

 

12.1                       Performance
by Chargee of the Chargor’s obligations

 

If the Chargor defaults in fully and punctually performing any
obligation contained or implied in any Transaction Document, the Chargee may,

reasonable opinion of the Chargee, to make good or attempt to make good that
default to the satisfaction of the Chargee.

 

 

12.2                       Chargor

12.4                       Governing
law and jurisdiction

 

(a)                               This deed is governed by the laws of New South Wales.

 

(b)                              The Chargor irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of
the courts of New South Wales.

 

(c)                               The Chargor irrevocably waives any objection to the venue of any
legal process on the basis that the process has been brought in an inconvenient
forum.

 

12.5                       Prohibition
and enforceability

 

(a)                               Any provision of, or the application of any provision of, any
Transaction Document or any Power which is prohibited in any jurisdiction is,
in that jurisdiction, ineffective only to the extent of that prohibition.

 

(b)                              Any provision of, or the application of any provision of, any
Transaction Document which is void, illegal or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction does not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of that
provision in any other jurisdiction or of the remaining provisions in that or
any other jurisdiction.

 

(c)                               Without limiting clause 12.5(a) or (b), if the inclusion
of an asset in the Charged Property would invalidate, avoid or render
ineffective the Charge, whether in respect of that asset only or otherwise,
then that asset is excluded from the Charged Property, but only for so long as
that effect prevails.

 

(d)                              If an asset referred to in clause 12.5(c) could be
included in the Charged Property without clause 12.5(c) applying if
an Authorisation was obtained or other action taken, the Chargor must promptly
obtain that Authorisation or take that action.

 

12.6                       Waivers

 

(a)                               Waiver of any right arising from a breach of this deed or of any
Power arising upon default under this deed or upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default or an Accelerated Event of Default must be in writing and signed by
the party granting the waiver.

 

(b)                              A failure or delay in exercise, or partial exercise, of:

Event of Default or an Accelerated Event of Default; or

 

 

(2)                               a Power created or arising upon default under this deed or upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default or an Accelerated Event of Default,

 

does not result in a waiver of that right or Power.

 

(c)                               A party is not entitled to rely on a delay in the exercise or non-exercise
of a right or Power arising from a breach of this deed or on a default under
this deed or on the occurrence of an Event of Default or an Accelerated Event
of Default as constituting a waiver of that right or Power.

 

(d)                              A party may not rely on any conduct of another party as a
defence to exercise of a right or Power by that other party.

 

(e)                               This clause may not itself be waived except by writing.

 

12.7                       Variation

Chargee, Receiver or Attorney may retain an amount equal to the amount
contingently owing or any part of it.

 

(b)                              If the Chargee, Receiver or Attorney retains any amount under
clause 7.3(a) it must place that amount on short-term interest
bearing deposit until the amount contingently owing becomes actually due and
payable or otherwise ceases to be contingently owing at which time the Chargee,

opened:

(2)                               all financial accommodation and advances by the Chargee to the
Chargor,

 

are or are regarded as credited and debited, as the case may be, to the
new account.

 

(c)                               The payments by the Chargor under clause 7.4(b) must be
applied:

 

(1)                               first, in reduction of the debit balance, if any, in the new
account; and

 

(2)                               second, if there is no debit balance in the new account, in
reduction of the Secured Moneys which have not been debited or regarded as
debited to the new account.

(b)                                 the
amount of the Secured Moneys, whether currently due and payable or not,

(a)                               The receipt of any Officer of the Chargee for any money payable to
or received by the Chargee under this deed exonerates the payer from all
liability to enquire whether any of the Secured Moneys have become payable.

 

(b)                              Every receipt of an Officer of the Chargee effectually discharges
the payer from:

 

(1)                               any future liability to pay the amount specified in the receipt; and

 

 

(2)                               being concerned to see to the application of, or being answerable or
accountable for any loss or misapplication of, the amount specified in the
receipt.

to make good or attempt to make good that default to the satisfaction of the
Chargee.

 

12.2                       Chargor
to bear cost

which must be done by the Chargor under this deed, whether or not at the

by a party to this deed must be given in accordance with the notice

law and jurisdiction

 

(a)                               This deed is governed by the laws of New South Wales.

 

(b)                              The Chargor irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of
the courts of New South Wales.

 

(c)                               The Chargor irrevocably waives any objection to the venue of any
legal process on the basis that the process has been brought in an inconvenient

12.5                       Prohibition
and enforceability

 

(a)                               Any provision of, or the application of any provision of, any
Transaction Document or any Power which is prohibited in any jurisdiction is,
in that jurisdiction, ineffective only to the extent of that prohibition.

 

(b)                              Any provision of, or the application of any provision of, any
Transaction Document which is void, illegal or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction does not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of that
provision in any other jurisdiction or of the remaining provisions in that or
any other jurisdiction.

 

(c)                               Without limiting clause 12.5(a) or (b), if the inclusion
of an asset in the Charged Property would invalidate, avoid or render ineffective
the Charge, whether in respect of that asset only or otherwise, then that asset
is excluded from the Charged Property, but only for so long as that effect
prevails.

 

(d)                              If an asset referred to in clause 12.5(c) could be
included in the Charged Property without clause 12.5(c) applying if
an Authorisation was obtained 

 

 

or other action taken, the Chargor must promptly
obtain that Authorisation or take that action.

(a)                               Waiver of any right arising from a breach of this deed or of any
Power arising upon default under this deed or upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default or an Accelerated Event of Default must be in writing and signed by
the party granting the waiver.

 

(b)                              A failure or delay in exercise, or partial exercise, of:

 

(1)                               a right arising from a breach of this deed or the occurrence of an
Event of Default or an Accelerated Event of Default; or

 

(2)                               a Power created or arising upon default under this deed or upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default or an Accelerated Event of Default,

 

does not result in a waiver of that right or Power.

 

(c)                               A party is not entitled to rely on a delay in the exercise or non-exercise
of a right or Power arising from a breach of this deed or on a default under
this deed or on the occurrence of an Event of Default or an Accelerated Event
of Default as constituting a waiver of that right or Power.

 

(d)                              A party may not rely on any conduct of another party as a defence to
exercise of a right or Power by that other party.

 

(e)                               This clause may not itself be waived except by writing.
