32.

Accounting for Transactions

(a)

Each Borrower irrevocably authorises NAB to open such accounts as NAB requires in connection with a Facility.

(b)

Each Borrower of a Facility irrevocably authorises NAB to debit from the Loan Account or Nominated Account for that Facility (if any) any amounts payable by the Borrower in relation to that Facility or account, including interest, Costs, Taxes, enforcement expenses and any amount payable under an indemnity, unless otherwise stated or agreed.

(c)

If a Borrower authorises NAB to debit any amount from an account or one of two or more accounts, NAB can debit that amount from that account (or if more than one account, from any account it chooses) even if it causes the account to become overdrawn. Alternatively, if there are insufficient cleared funds in that account, the Borrower authorises NAB to debit that amount from any account of the Borrower NAB decides, including an account NAB opens in the Borrower’s name.

(d)

If this document does not state to which account an amount may be debited or credited, NAB may debit or credit that amount from any account (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Loan Account or Nominated Account) of the Borrower NAB decides, including an account NAB opens in the Borrower’s name.

(e)

Where NAB debits an account in the name of a Borrower, opened by:

(i)

the Borrower, the Borrower must pay NAB interest (including default interest if applicable) on any debit balance in accordance with the terms of that account;

(ii)

NAB, the Borrower must pay NAB interest on the overdrawn balance of that account (other than an overdraft account where the balance does not exceed the applicable Facility Limit) at the Default Interest Rate applying to the relevant Facility or, if there is none, in accordance with the terms normally applied by NAB to accounts of that type; or

(iii)

either the Borrower or NAB, the overdrawn balance of the account (taking into account any limit applicable to that account) is immediately payable without further notice.

(f)

Unless otherwise provided, NAB may apply any payment under or in connection with this document towards satisfying obligations under this document as NAB sees fit.

(g)

Where NAB is authorised to debit an amount from an account under this document, it can do so without prior notice.

35.

General provisions

35.1

Partial invalidity

If, at any time, any provision of a Finance Document is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under any law of any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions nor the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision under the law of that or any other jurisdiction will in any way be affected or impaired.

35.2

No waiver

(a)

No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of NAB, any right or remedy under a Finance Document will operate as a waiver, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further exercise or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

(b)

The rights and remedies provided in each Finance Document are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

(c)

NAB need not resort to a right, power or Encumbrance under a Security Document before resorting to any other of them.

35.3

Amendments and waivers

(a)

Except as set out in clause (b), any term of a Finance Document may be amended or waived only in writing with the consent of NAB and the relevant Obligors and any such amendment or waiver will be binding on all parties.

(b)

NAB may vary the terms of this document unilaterally by giving written notice to the relevant Borrower, or by giving notice in accordance with any provision of this document that expressly contemplates or permits the terms of this document to be varied unilaterally, at any time:

(i)

to the extent NAB considers necessary to ensure compliance with relevant laws or to reflect NAB’s systems capabilities, provided such variation does not, in the reasonable opinion of NAB, result in a material change to the nature of the Facilities; or

(ii)

to the extent that this document expressly contemplates or permits the terms of this document to be varied unilaterally.

35.4

Counterparts

Each Finance Document may be executed in any number of counterparts, and if so, the counterparts taken together constitute one and the same instrument.

35.5

Continuing indemnities

(a)

All indemnities and reimbursement obligations in each Finance Document are continuing and survive termination of the Finance Document.

(b)

Each such indemnity is an additional, separate and independent obligation of each Obligor and no one indemnity limits the general nature of any other indemnity.

Rights given to NAB, and an Obligor’s obligations, under or in connection with a Finance Document, are not affected by any act or omission or any other thing which might otherwise affect them under law or otherwise.

35.10

Inconsistent law

To the extent permitted by law, each Finance Document prevails to the extent it is inconsistent with any law.

35.11

Entire agreement

This document constitutes the entire agreement of the parties about its subject matter and supersedes all previous agreements, understandings and negotiations on the subject matter.

35.12

Telephone recording

Each Obligor consents to NAB recording any telephone conversations between it and NAB in relation to any Facility that are customarily recorded in the finance industry or where the Obligor is notified prior to the commencement of the telephone conversation and such recordings being used in any arbitral or legal proceedings and any telephone recording remains NAB’s sole property at all times.

35.13

Reinstating avoided transaction

Each Obligor agrees that if a payment or other transaction relating to the Amount Owing is void, voidable, unenforceable or defective for any reason or a related claim is upheld, conceded or settled (each an Avoidance), then even though NAB knew or should have known of the Avoidance:

(a)

each right, power and remedy of NAB, and each Obligor's liability under each Finance Document will be what it would have been, and will continue, as if the payment or transaction the subject of the Avoidance had not occurred; and

(b)

it will immediately execute and do anything necessary or required by NAB to restore NAB to its position immediately before the Avoidance (including reinstating any Finance Document) and procure that each relevant Obligor does so.

This clause 35.13 survives any termination or full or partial discharge or release of any Finance Document.

36.

(c)

This clause 36 (Governing Law and Jurisdiction) is for the benefit of NAB only. As a result, NAB will not be prevented from taking proceedings in any other court with jurisdiction.

To the extent permitted by law, NAB may take concurrent proceedings in any number of jurisdictions.

37.

Following the Consultation Period, if no agreement can be reached as to an appropriate rate of exchange, amounts in foreign currency will be converted back at NAB’s prevailing spot rate of exchange (which will be advised to the Borrowers).

Bank Guarantee Facility Specific Conditions

FOREIGN CURRENCY WARNING NOTICE

This important notice should be read and understood before the Borrower decides to enter into a facility or transaction in a foreign currency.

This notice is intended to provide the Borrower with a general warning of the risks that can arise from adverse exchange rate movements when transacting in a foreign currency, and to advise the Borrower that other risks also exist.

The Borrower’s liability in Dollars will increase, possibly very substantially, if there is a movement in either:

· the Dollar relative to the foreign currency facility or transaction; or

· the foreign currency relative to the Dollar.

Another risk that may also exist is the potential for adverse movements in the interest rate that applies to the foreign currency facility or transaction.

The Borrower should also be aware that in some circumstances mechanisms may be available for limiting these risks. Such mechanisms may include products ranging from forward FX contracts (FECs) and fixed rate loans to more complex options and derivatives. A solution can be tailored to the Borrower's specific business needs.

For more information about managing risks associated with international trade, go to the “Business” tab on our website www.nab.com.au and click on > International trade.

For more information regarding Foreign Exchange Risk please telephone a Specialist on 132265 (7am – 7pm EST).

The Borrower should seek independent professional advice before entering into a facility or transaction in a foreign currency. In particular, advice should be sought as to the suitability of a foreign currency facility or transaction for your purposes and as to risk management strategies available for such facilities or transactions.

Important Information about Renminbi Settlement Services

Renminbi (“RMB”), the lawful currency in the People’s Republic of China, is not yet fully convertible and is subject to substantial exchange rate risk. For more information about the risks associated with RMB, please contact a Specialist on 132265 (7am – 7pm EST).

12.1

Funding risk and non availability

(a)

NAB will use its best efforts to notify the Borrower as soon as practicable if the making, denomination or continuation of the Facility in the foreign currency is impractical or impossible as a result of:

Debt schedules

3.1

You must give us a debt schedule:

(a)

initially, not less than 1 business day before you first want to use your facility;

thereafter, regularly at times to be agreed between you and us, and if no such times are agreed, in relation to each month within 5 business days after the end of the month; and

(c)

otherwise, as agreed in writing with us.

3.2

Each debt schedule provided by you under this agreement must include all debts created since the last debt schedule and which remain outstanding at such time, or in relation to the first debt schedule all debts existing at the date of that debt schedule, including excluded debts and recourse debts, together with such other information as we reasonably require.

3.3

If a debt schedule includes any excluded debts or recourse debts, you must also ensure that those debts are clearly identified as such when the debt schedule is provided.

Other debt information

3.4

You must give us details of any credit note and adjustments relating to a purchased debt as soon as possible after it is raised by you and no later than the day your next debt schedule is due to be delivered to us.

(b)

4. Offer and Acceptance

Qualifying debts

4.1

Delivery of an initial debt schedule constitutes an offer by you to sell to us all qualifying debts:

(a)

existing as at the commencement date; and

(b)

arising after the commencement date but prior to the termination of the facility, whether or not those qualifying debts are described in the initial debt schedule or any other debt schedule.

4.2

We need not accept the offer comprised by the initial debt schedule if the terms of this document have not been complied with and nothing in this agreement constitutes or is to be construed as an agreement to assign a debt if the terms of this document have not been complied with.

4.3

Your offer to sell the qualifying debts under clause 4.1 is deemed to be accepted and all qualifying debts are purchased by us (without any further notice to you) immediately on the payment of the initial payment.

4.4

Upon our deemed acceptance of your offer full title to the qualifying debts purchased will:

(a)

in respect of qualifying debts in existence as at the commencement date, vest in us as at that date; and

Page 11 of 37

(b)

in respect of future qualifying debts, vest in us automatically upon their coming into existence and without anything further being required.

Excluded Debts

4.5

The provision of a debt schedule that includes any excluded debts constitutes an offer by you to sell to us those excluded debts, irrespective of whether you have identified those debts as excluded debts in accordance with this agreement.

4.6

Your offer to sell any such excluded debts is taken to be accepted by us immediately upon payment to you of the purchase price in relation to those excluded debts in accordance with clause 7.2.

4.7

We may choose not to purchase any excluded debt.

4.8

Upon our deemed acceptance of your offer to sell any excluded debt full title to the excluded debt purchased will vest in us.

Payment of the Purchase price

Recourse debts

You acknowledge that if a purchased debt is or becomes a recourse debt, we retain our interest in that debt notwithstanding that we may elect to allocate 100% of the relevant debt amount to the total retention in accordance with clause 6.2.

Release of encumbrance

4.11

If an encumbrance has been granted by you to us over any purchased debt, to the extent necessary to allow any assignment under this clause 4, that encumbrance is automatically released.

Charge over proceeds and account

4.12

As security for your obligations under this agreement, you hereby grant us a charge over the proceeds of the purchased debts and the debtor finance account.

Acknowledgement of assignment of debts

4.13

All parties confirm and agree their intention that each sale and purchase of debts under this agreement is intended to take effect as a true sale by way of equitable assignment of title (which may be perfected by us on the terms of this agreement), and not by way of charge or mortgage.

5. Accessing funds

Accessing funds

5.1

Subject to all conditions precedent being met you can access all or part of your available funds by requesting a drawing through the Corporate Receivables System.

5.2

Funds are accessed by transferring the amount required from your debtor finance account to a linked account using the Corporate Receivables System.

Your available funds

5.3

The available funds is calculated by deducting the funds drawn (if any) from the lesser of the borrowing base and the facility limit. We may calculate or recalculate (as the case may be) your available funds at any time.

No overdrawing

5.4

The balance of your debtor finance account (to the extent it is a debit balance) must not exceed the lesser of the facility limit and the borrowing base at any time, without our prior approval.

Page 12 of 37

Drawings not made in accordance with this agreement

5.5

If an amount is drawn from the debtor finance account contrary to this clause, you must immediately rectify the position by paying into the debtor finance account an amount equal to that drawing.

6. Your Borrowing Base and the Total Retention

Borrowing Base

6.1

The borrowing base is calculated by deducting the total retention from the purchase price. We may calculate or recalculate (as the case may be) the borrowing base at any time.

Total Retention

6.2

In setting the amount of the total retention, we may take into account any matters we consider relevant in relation to our credit and risk assessment of you, the debtors and transactions under this agreement. This may include:

(a)

the aggregate amount of recourse debts;

(b)

the amount calculated by applying a discount rate we determine for a particular debt;

(c)

any debtor limit excess;

(d)

any minimum amount that that we determine must be withheld notwithstanding the amount that would otherwise be required to be held in relation to each individual debt; and

(e)

any other amount you owe us.

You acknowledge that in determining the total retention, we have full discretion to retain any percentage of a particular debt that we consider appropriate in the circumstances (including retaining 100%).

6.3

We may review and change the amount of the total retention in relation to any particular debt at any time. We may, for example, change the amount of the total retention in relation to a particular debt if our assessment of that debt or you changes.

6.4

If in our judgement, having regard to our credit and risk assessment of you, the debtors and transactions under this agreement, the amount of the total retention is insufficient for any reason, including as a result of our recalculation of the amount of funds required to be held, we may:

(a)

withhold the amount of the shortfall from the purchase price of any debts subsequently purchased by us under clause 4;

(b)

account for the amount of the shortfall by reducing the borrowing base; or

(c)

require you to pay us, on demand, the amount of the shortfall,

and adjust the amount of the total retention to reflect that action.

7. How we process transactions

7.1

We will generally process transactions under this agreement in accordance with this clause 7.

7.2

We will pay you the purchase price by including all or part of the amount of the purchase price in the total retention, increasing the borrowing base by all or part of that amount, or a combination of the two.

7.3

When we receive details of a credit note or evidence of other adjustment, we will either:

(a)

reduce the purchase price of the relevant purchased debt by the amount of the credit note or adjustment (the “relevant amount”);

(b)

withhold the relevant amount from the purchase price of any debts subsequently purchased by us under clause 4;

(c)

process the credit note or adjustment as a separate transaction and include the relevant amount in the total retention.

7.4

Fees and charges payable under this agreement will be debited by making adjustments under clause 7.9.

Page 13 of 37

7.5

Unless otherwise provided in this agreement:

(a)

any debt payments credited to the debtor finance account will be applied to repay the associated debt and, once the

(b)

debt is discharged (or earlier if we agree), we will adjust the amount of the total retention in relation to that debt;

(c)

any amounts other than debt payments credited to the debtor finance account may be, in our discretion, applied to repay a debt selected by us.

7.6

You acknowledge that:

(a)

all or part of an amount paid into the debtor finance account may be held by us as unapplied cash pending our full processing of that amount.

(b)

we may initially allocate a percentage of the amount paid into the debtor finance account against a debt, and make the remainder available for refund. If the amount made available for refund differs from the amount allocated by us to the amount of the total retention in relation to that debt, we may make such adjustments as we consider appropriate as contemplated by clause 7.9.

7.7

Any other amounts payable by you under this agreement may be:

(a)

debited by making adjustments under clause 7.9; or

(b)

debited to any other account you hold with us, including the debtor finance account or any nominated account.

7.8

You acknowledge we may process transactions under this facility at such times as we determine in our sole discretion. We will not be responsible, and are not liable, for any delays that occur as a result of when that processing occurs.

7.9

We may make such adjustments as is reasonably necessary to:

(a)

the available funds;

(b)

the borrowing base;

(c)

the total retention;

(d)

the funds drawn (to reflect repayments of debts under clause 7.5);

(e)

the balance of the debtor finance account (to reflect adjustments under clause 10.5); and/or

(f)

our records of funds drawn and unapplied cash,

to ensure that they accurately reflect the arrangements in relation to the facility contemplated by this agreement.

For example, we may:

(i)

adjust the available funds to reflect any fees, charges, unapplied cash, non-funded cash, or any minimum amount that we determine must be withheld; and

(ii)

make any consequential changes relating to an adjustment under this clause (including to interest charges or the fees payable by you).

8. Payments, fees and charges

General

8.1

You must pay to us all fees and charges that are set out in this agreement or in our “Business Banking Fees – A Guide to Fees and Charges” booklet (we treat the debtor finance account as an account for the purpose of calculation of fees and charges).

Facility fee

8.2

You must pay us a facility fee for each day, which is calculated by applying the daily facility fee rate (being the facility fee rate as set out in, or as determined in accordance with, the details divided by 365) to the funds drawn as at that day. Accrued facility fees are payable on the last business day of each month (unless another time is agreed) and when this facility terminates or otherwise ends.

Page 14 of 37

Purchase charge

8.3

If the details specify that the purchase charge is payable on each purchase date, you must pay to us the purchase charge set out in the details on each purchase date.

8.4

If the details specify that the purchase charge is payable in advance, the first purchase charge will be payable on a pro-rata basis on the date of this agreement. Subsequent purchase charges will be payable in full on the first business day of the applicable periods below:

(a)

if monthly payment of the purchase charge is specified in the details, each calendar month;

(b)

if quarterly payment of the purchase charge is specified in the details, each calendar quarter (being 1 January to 31 March, 1 April to 30 June, 1 July to 30 September, and 1 October to 31 December); and

(c)

if half yearly payment of the purchase charge is specified in the details, each calendar half-year (being 1 January to 30 June and 1 July to 31 December).

Minimum fees and charges

8.5

If, in any fee cycle:

(a)

the total of all facility fees and default facility fees payable by you in relation to that fee cycle is less than any applicable minimum annual facility fee; and/or

(b)

the total of all purchase charges payable by you in relation to that fee cycle is less than any applicable minimum purchase charge,

then you must pay us, on demand, the amount of that deficiency, provided that for any fee cycle which falls within paragraph (a)(ii) or (b)(ii) of the definition of fee cycle, the respective minimum amounts in paragraphs (a) and (b) above will be calculated on a pro-rata basis.

Lending Indicator Rate – market rate option

8.6

If the details specify that the lending indicator rate is determined using the market rate:

(a)

the market rate in relation to each pricing period is the rate determined by us (in our absolute discretion) which is equal to the “bid rate” quoted on the “BBSY” page of the Reuters Monitor System at or about 10.15am Melbourne time on the business day immediately preceding the commencement of that pricing period for bank accepted bills for a period equal to the pricing period and which starts on that immediately preceding business day; and

(b)

if a market rate cannot be determined in accordance with the above, the market rate for that pricing period will be the rate determined by us in good faith to be appropriate having regard to comparable indices then available in the then current bank bill market.

Other amounts you must pay us

8.7

You must pay us:

(a)

immediately on request, such amounts as required by us to ensure that the amount of the total retention is at least equal to any minimum amount that that we determine must be withheld (notwithstanding the amount that would otherwise be required to be held in relation to each individual debt); and

(b)

immediately the amount by which the balance of your debtor finance account (to the extent it is a debit balance) exceeds the lesser of the borrowing base and the facility limit.

9. Debts

Our right to make enquiries

9.1

You consent to us, as part of any review conducted in accordance with clause 14.1 (Review) where an event of default is found to have occurred, making any enquiries we consider appropriate in connection with the purchased debts. We must make those enquiries on your behalf or on an undisclosed basis if, at the time of making those enquiries, we have not given notice to the debtor of the assignment of the purchased debts.

Verification of debts

9.2

We may, as part of any review conducted in accordance with clause 14.1 (Review) where an event of default is found to have occurred, at our own expense instruct our auditors or accountants to contact (on your behalf where at the time we are obliged not to give notice of assignment of the purchased debts) your debtors asking them to verify the balance of their accounts.

Page 15 of 37

You as agent

9.3

In relation to each purchased debt, until we give notice to the contrary, we appoint you as agent for us to:

(a)

collect all debt payments; and

(b)

take all such action as we reasonably require to enforce payment of all debt payments and compliance with all obligations in connection with the debt documents at your expense.

Despite your appointment as agent, if an event of default has occurred under this agreement, we may do the things set out in this clause ourselves.

We are entitled to the benefit of all debt payments collected under this agreement.

9.5

Not used.

(b)

you will hold as agent for us:

(i)

all debt documents which you have already received on the purchase date;

(ii)

all debt documents which you receive after the purchase date, immediately upon receipt of those debt documents;

(iii)

any further or substitute debt documents to which you are entitled immediately when your entitlement arises.

If we ask, you must deliver the debt documents to us.

10. Payment of purchased debts

10.1

You agree with us:

(a)

to direct any debtor who wishes to make debt payments to you electronically or otherwise directly to an account, to make those payments directly to the debtor finance account;

(b)

to receive on trust for us any payments received from a debtor (whether in the form of cash, cheque, money order or negotiable instruments) in respect of any purchased debt and to deliver such payments to us in the form they are received by you by promptly depositing such payments to the credit of the debtor finance account;

(c)

if any debt payment is received by you into an account other than the debtor finance account you must within two business days of its receipt:

(i)

notify us that the payment was received;

(ii)

transfer the amount of such debt payment to the debtor finance account; and

(iii)

take sufficient measures to ensure that no further debt payment is received into an account other than the debtor finance account;

(d)

to as soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event no later than five business days after receipt) allocate debt payments against the relevant debtor in your debtor ledger, other than where insufficient information has been supplied with a debt payment to allocate it to a debt and you are diligently following up to obtain sufficient information to allocate the debt payment to a debt;

(e)

to provide an indemnity in the form required by us to enable cheques made out to you in payment of debts to be deposited directly into the debtor finance account; and

(f)

where a debtor properly claims a trade discount, allowance or other credit (the “claim”) in respect of a purchased debt which was not deducted in determining the debt amount of that debt, we may adjust the total retention by the full extent of claim, or we may ask you to immediately pay us, and you must immediately pay us, the full amount of the claim.

Page 16 of 37

10.2

Subject to clause 10.5, any payment made into the debtor finance account in relation to a purchased debt will be applied in satisfaction of that purchased debt to the extent of that payment.

10.3

Subject to clause 10.1, and any other amounts you are obliged to pay under this agreement, you must not make any deposits into the debtor finance account, including any amounts relating to debts which are not purchased debts without our consent.

10.4

If, at any time, we are satisfied that we have received and are entitled to retain final payments in respect of the purchased debts which, after the application of the payments in accordance with this agreement, are in aggregate in excess of the funds drawn, then the excess will, subject to our right to make adjustments under clause 7.9 (for example, because the payment is subsequently reversed or dishonoured) and subject to any amounts payable by you under any other arrangement with us, be payable by us to you. We may satisfy our obligation under this clause by paying the amount into an account in your name or by exercising any right of set-off we may have and are under no further liability in respect of the amount.

10.5

Where a payment made into the debtor finance account in respect of a purchased debt is subsequently dishonoured or reversed for any reason, the amount of that dishonour or reversal will be debited to the debtor finance account.

Other currencies

10.6

Unless we otherwise agree, you must make each payment under this agreement in Australian Dollars, and you waive any right which you have in any jurisdiction to pay an amount other than in Australian Dollars.

10.7

If we receive an amount in a currency other than that in which it is due:

(a)

we may convert the amount received into the due currency (to do this it might be necessary to convert through a third currency) on the day and at such rates as we consider appropriate. We may deduct our usual costs in connection with the conversion; and

(b)

you satisfy your 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.

11. Return of debts

If a recourse event occurs in relation to a purchased debt, we may elect to return that purchased debt to you. A purchased debt can be returned either by us extinguishing our interest in the purchased debt in accordance with clause 11.1 or by you repurchasing the purchased debt in accordance with clause 11.2. The way in which a purchased debt is returned to you depends on whether notice has been given to you and the relevant debtor

Extinguishment of interest

11.1

If a recourse event occurs in relation to a purchased debt, excluding any purchased debt for which:

(a)

we have given you written notice of our acceptance of your offer made under clause 4.1 or 4.5; and

(b)

notice of its assignment has been given to the debtor under clause 15.4 or otherwise,

we have the option of extinguishing our right, title and interest in that purchased debt, by decreasing the borrowing base and making other consequential adjustments to reflect the extinguishment price. Our right, title and interest in that purchased debt is extinguished on such reduction being made to reflect the extinguishment price.

Our right to require repurchase

11.2

You irrevocably offer to repurchase each purchased debt in respect of which:

(a)

we have given you written notice of our acceptance of your offer made under clause 4.1 or 4.5; and

(b)

notice of its assignment has been given to the debtor under clause 15.4 or otherwise; and

(c)

a recourse event occurs.

How a debt is repurchased

11.4

The repurchase of, or extinguishment of our right, title and interest in, any debt effected under clauses 11.1 or 11.3 is without any recourse to us or warranty or representation of any kind by us relating to the debt.

Either party may terminate the facility under this agreement in accordance with clause 1.4.

Effect of voluntary or other termination

We may debit the amount of the balance of the debtor finance account, and all other amounts which are due for payment or which will become due for payment by you to us under any arrangement with us, from your nominated account or any other bank account you hold with us.

14.8

If, after the termination of the facility, we determine that there are no other amounts which are due for payment or which will become due for payment by you under any arrangement with us (including in connection with the nominated account), then:

(a)

if the debtor finance account is a credit balance, you may withdraw an amount equal to that credit balance from the nominated account; and

(b)

if you request, we will re-assign any remaining purchased debts to you (but without any recourse to us or warranty or representation of any kind by us relating to the debt).

What can happen if you are in default?

15.2

If you are in default, we no longer need to provide this facility and may terminate the facility without prior notice. One result of this is that the provisions of clause 14.7 will apply.

15.3

After a default has occurred (and despite anything else in this agreement), we may do one or more of the following, in addition to anything else the law allows us to do:

(a)

notify you that any amount you owe to us is immediately payable and if you do not pay it immediately, we may sue you for that amount;

(b)

notify you that this agreement terminates (without affecting any entitlement which we may have had prior to that termination);

(c)

notify you that any agency established under this agreement is terminated. We may then collect the debt payments (including by appointing a new agent to perform any task in connection with such collection); and

Page 23 of 37

(d)

in respect of the purchased debts, give notice of this agreement and any assignment of debts which are taken to have occurred under clause 4.4 to the debtors (which will be a notice under section 80(7)(a) of the PPSA) or any other person.

Any such notification gives immediate effect to its provisions.

15.4

Despite clause 21, if you are in default, we may in our absolute discretion give notices of assignment of the purchased debts and if we give such notices of assignment we may undertake collection and recovery of the purchased debts and:

(a)

you consent to us giving notices of assignment of the purchased debts to the debtors (both for the purposes of PPSA s.80(7) and generally) and, if deemed appropriate by us, instituting legal proceedings in our own name or as attorney for you in order to obtain payment of the purchased debts;

(b)

you must immediately upon our request, give any notices of the assignment and directions as to payment to the debtors as are required by us to enable recovery of the purchased debts by us;

(c)

you must immediately upon our request, provide any other assistance as is required by us to enable recovery of the purchased debts by us, including the institution and conduct at our direction, of legal proceedings in your name; and

(d)

unless otherwise agreed you must not, except at our request, be concerned in, or attempt, the collection of the purchased debts and you acknowledge and agree we may give good receipt for discharge or compromise any purchased debt in such manner as we think fit.

15.5

Without limiting clause 16.1, you must indemnify us against all costs, liabilities and losses incurred or suffered by us arising from proceedings instituted or actions taken or not taken under clause 15.4.

Excesses and default fees

15.6

If the funds drawn exceeds the borrowing base or the facility limit (whichever is the lesser) on any day, you must pay a default facility fee on the excess for that day, calculated in the manner set out in clause 8.2 but using the default facility fee rate set out in the details rather than the facility fee rate described in that clause. The default facility fee is calculated daily and you must pay this fee (if any) on the last business day of each month.

Default interest

15.7

Unless the amount is subject to a default facility fee, from the time any amount is overdue for payment until it is paid, you must pay interest at the default rate, on the overdue amount. These interest charges are calculated daily or at any other intervals we choose.

15.8

You must pay interest owing under clause 15.7 when we specify.

15.9

Each month (or any other period we choose) we may add to the overdue amount any interest under clause 15.7 which has not been paid. You are then liable for interest under clause 15.7 on the increased amount.

15.10

If any amount you must pay under this agreement becomes covered by a court order, you must pay interest on that amount as a separate obligation. The interest accrues from and including the date we first ask you for the amount until but excluding the date that amount is paid. This obligation is not affected by the court order. The rate is the default rate or the rate in the court order (whichever is higher). You must pay interest under this clause on demand from us.

15.11

Your obligation to pay on time is not cancelled by the provisions of this clause.

15.12

Clauses 15.7 to 15.11 and 15.13 apply equally to the guarantor in connection with amounts the guarantor owes us.

Default management fees

15.13

If you are in default, we may, at our discretion, implement additional management measures in relation to the facility. This may include field examinations in accordance with clause 14.2 and due diligence on the debt documents. If you are in default, you will be liable to pay the default management fees in respect of any management, administration, due diligence or other work done by us whatsoever in connection with the facility (whether as a result of an additional management measure or not).

15.14

Not used

16. Indemnity

16.1

Page 24 of 37

17.2

You agree that you will provide (and to procure that each guarantor provides) all assistance considered necessary or desirable by the consultants, and comply with every reasonable request they make (including making your financial records available to them) to enable the consultants to conduct a proper examination of your affairs. You agree to pay the fees of such persons. You will provide to us a copy of the consultants’ report and recommendations. You, at your sole discretion, will decide whether to accept the recommendations and we will assume no liability with respect to any actions you take, or do not take, as a result of the recommendations.

You must pay us for all taxes, fees, and charges payable in connection with this agreement and any transaction under it and any interest, penalties, fines and expenses in connection with them.

19.2

(b)

If GST is imposed on any supply made by us under or in connection with this agreement, where the fee or any other amount or consideration (“consideration”) payable or to be provided by you under this agreement in relation to that supply is exclusive of GST (“GST-exclusive consideration”), we may, in addition to and at the same time as that GSTexclusive consideration, recover from you an additional amount on account of GST. This additional amount is to be calculated by multiplying the GST-exclusive consideration for the relevant taxable supply by the GST rate prevailing at the time of a taxable supply and should be paid to us on demand without any deduction or set-off of any other amount.

Page 25 of 37

We will promptly issue to you a tax invoice in respect of any taxable supply.
