 (ii) an entity has entered an agreement with one or more other entities resulting in the entities being under a legal obligation to operate on a unified basis; and

 (ii) an entity carrying on an Australian business; or
 (iii) an entity carrying on a national security business; or
 (iv) the holding entity of an entity mentioned in subparagraph (ii) or (iii);
  as is required for the action to be a significant action, notifiable action, notifiable national security action or reviewable national security action; and
 (d) there is at least one other entity mentioned in paragraph (a) that is an entity of a kind mentioned in subparagraph (c)(i), (ii), (iii) or (iv).
