SECTION 9

CHANGES TO PARTIES

 

23.

CHANGES TO THE FINANCE PARTIES

 

23.1

Assignments and transfers by the Lenders

 

  (a)

A Lender (the “Existing Lender”) may:

 

  (i)

assign any of its rights; or

 

  (ii)

transfer by novation any of its rights and obligations,

under the Finance Documents to another entity (the “New Lender”) at any time.

 

  (b)

Where a Lender assigns rights but does not transfer by novation obligations, then for the purposes of Clause 27 (Sharing Among the Finance Parties), any amount received or recovered by the assignee will be taken to be received by that Lender.

 

  (c)

The Security Trustee is not obliged to sign a Recognition Deed where the New Lender is not already a Lender unless the Security Trustee has performed all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to such novation to a New Lender (the receipt of which the Security Trustee shall promptly notify to the Existing Lender and the New Lender).

 

  (d)

The Lenders have authority on behalf of each New Lender to do or execute anything (including any consent, waiver or amendment) that it has been instructed to do or execute, or has otherwise been approved, by the Lenders in accordance with this Agreement on or before the date on which the assignment or transfer becomes effective in accordance with this Agreement. Each New Lender is bound by that decision to the same extent as the Existing Lender would have been had it remained a Lender.

 

  (e)

A Lender may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents, transfer any corresponding Loan Notes or change its Facility Office, if the New Lender or the Lender acting through its new Facility Office would be entitled to exercise any rights under Clause 7.1 (Illegality) as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change is proposed to occur.

 

  (f)

A Lender may not transfer any of its obligations during the period from when a Utilisation Request is delivered to that Lender until the Business Day after the Utilisation Date specified in that Utilisation Request.

 

  (g)

A Lender must bear its own costs and expenses (including legal fees) in connection with any such assignment or transfer.

 

  (h)

If:

 

  (i)

a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents or changes its Facility Office; and

 

  (ii)

as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, an Obligor would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office under Clause 11 (Tax Gross Up and Indemnities) or Clause 12 (Increased Costs),

 

 

Senior Loan Note Subscription Agreement    Page 73


then the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office is only entitled to receive payment under those Clauses to the same extent as the Existing Lender or Lender acting through its previous Facility Office would have been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred. However, where the payment is in relation to Australian Withholding Tax, it will be entitled to full payment under Clause 11 (Tax Gross Up and Indemnities).

 

23.2

Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders

 

  (a)

Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, an Existing Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility to a New Lender for:

 

  (i)

the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of the Finance Documents or any other documents;

 

  (ii)

the financial condition of any Obligor or any other person;

 

  (iii)

the performance and observance by any Obligor or any other person of its obligations under the Finance Documents or any other documents; or

 

  (iv)

the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any Finance Document or any other document,

and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.

 

  (b)

Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender and the other Finance Parties that it:

 

  (i)

has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of each Obligor and its related entities and any other person in connection with its participation in this Agreement and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the Existing Lender in connection with any Finance Document; and

 

  (ii)

will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Obligor and its related entities and any other person whilst any amount is or may be outstanding under the Finance Documents or any Commitment is in force.

 

  (c)

Nothing in any Finance Document obliges an Existing Lender to:

 

  (i)

accept a re-transfer from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause 23 (Changes to the Finance Parties); or

 

  (ii)

support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by any Obligor or any other person of its obligations under the Finance Documents or otherwise.

 

23.3

Procedure for transfer

 

  (a)

Subject to this Clause 23 (Changes to the Finance Parties), the Lender shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Transfer Certificate and Recognition Deed appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the Existing Lender seeks to transfer by novation its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents, each of the Obligors and the Existing Lender shall be released from further obligations towards one another under the Finance Documents and their respective rights against one another shall be cancelled (being the “Discharged Rights and Obligations”);

 

  (ii)

each of the Obligors and the New Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another which differ from the Discharged Rights and Obligations only insofar as that Obligor and the New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of that Obligor and the Existing Lender;

 

  (iii)

the Finance Parties and the New Lender shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had the New Lender been an Original Lender with the rights and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the transfer and to that extent the Finance Parties and the Existing Lender shall each be released from further obligations to each other under this Agreement; and

 

  (iv)

if the New Lender is not already a Party as “Lender”, the New Lender shall become a Party as a “Lender”.

 

  (c)

A transfer will only be effective if the procedure set out in this Clause 23.3 (Procedure for Transfer) is complied with.

 

  (d)

On the Transfer Date, the Existing Lender shall notify the Security Trustee to update the Register to reflect the transfer of corresponding Loan Notes and, if applicable, the details of the New Lender.

any charge, assignment or other Security to secure obligations to a federal reserve or central bank; and

 

 

Senior Loan Note Subscription Agreement    Page 75


  (b)

any charge, assignment or other Security granted to any holders (or trustee or representatives of holders) of obligations owed, or securities issued, by that Lender as security for those obligations or securities,

except that no such charge, assignment or Security shall:

 

  (i)

release a Lender from any of its obligations under the Finance Documents or substitute the beneficiary of the relevant charge, assignment or Security for the Lender as a party to any of the Finance Documents; or

 

  (ii)

require any payments to be made by an Obligor other than or in excess of, or grant to any person any more extensive rights than, those required to be made or granted to the relevant Lender under the Finance Documents.

the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three (3) Business Days, notify details of the receipt or recovery, to the other Finance Parties;

 

  (b)

the Finance Parties shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the Recovering Finance Party would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been received or made and distributed in accordance with Clause 30 (Payment Mechanics), without taking account of any Tax which would be imposed in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and

 

  (c)

the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three (3) Business Days of demand by another Finance Party, pay to each other Finance Party an amount (the “Sharing Payment”) equal to such receipt or recovery less any amount which the Finance Parties determine may be retained by the Recovering Finance Party as its share of any payment to be made, in accordance with Clause 30.3 (Partial payments).

 

27.2

Redistribution of payments

 

  (a)

The Finance Parties shall treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been paid by the relevant Obligor and distribute it between the Finance Parties (other than the Recovering Finance Party) in accordance with Clause 30.3 (Partial payments).

 

  (b)

Unless paragraph (c) applies:

 

  (i)

the receipt or recovery referred to in Clause 27.1 (Payments to Finance Parties) will be taken to have been a payment for the account of the Finance Parties and not to the Recovering Finance Party for its own account, and the liability of the relevant Obligor to the Recovering Finance Party will only be reduced to the extent of any distribution retained by the Recovering Finance Party under Clause 27.1(c) (Payments to Finance Parties); and

 

 

Senior Loan Note Subscription Agreement    Page 78


  (ii)

(without limiting sub-paragraph (i)) the relevant Borrower shall indemnify the Recovering Finance Party against a payment under Clause 27.1(c) (Payments to Finance Parties) to the extent that (despite sub-paragraph (i)) its liability has been discharged by the recovery or payment.

 

  (c)

Where:

 

  (i)

the amount referred to in Clause 27.1 (Payments to Finance Parties) above was received or recovered otherwise than by payment (for example, set off); and

 

  (ii)

the relevant Obligor, or the person from whom the receipt or recovery is made, is insolvent at the time of the receipt or recovery, or at the time of the payment to the relevant Finance Parties, or becomes insolvent as a result of the receipt or recovery,

then the following will apply so that the Finance Parties have the same rights and obligations as if the money had been paid by the relevant Obligor to the Finance Parties and distributed accordingly:

 

  (iii)

each other Finance Party will assign to the Recovering Finance Party an amount of the debt owed by the relevant Obligor to that Finance Party under the Finance Documents equal to the amount received by that Finance Party under paragraph (a);

 

  (iv)

the Recovering Finance Party will be entitled to all rights (including interest and voting rights) under the Finance Documents in respect of the debt so assigned; and

 

  (v)

that assignment will take effect automatically on payment of the Sharing Payment by the relevant Finance Party/ies to the other Finance Party.

 

27.3

Reversal of redistribution

If any part of the Sharing Payment received or recovered by a Recovering Finance Party becomes repayable and is repaid by that Recovering Finance Party, then:

 

  (a)

each Finance Party which has received a share of the relevant Sharing Payment pursuant to Clause 27.2 (Redistribution of payments) shall, pay to that Recovering Finance Party an amount equal to its share of the Sharing Payment (together with an amount as is necessary to reimburse that Recovering Finance Party for its proportion of any interest on the Sharing Payment which that Recovering Finance Party is required to pay);

 

  (b)

to the extent necessary, any debt assigned under Clause 27.2(c) (Redistribution of payments) will be reassigned; and

 

  (c)

the relevant Obligor will be liable to the reimbursing Finance Party for the amount so reimbursed.

27.4

Exceptions

 

  (a)

  (b)

A Recovering Finance Party is not obliged to share with any other Finance Party any amount which the Recovering Finance Party has received or recovered as a result of taking legal or arbitration proceedings, if:

PPSA PROVISIONS

 

39.1

Exclusion of certain provisions

Where any Finance Party has a security interest (as defined in the PPSA) under any Finance Document, to the extent the law permits:

 

  (a)

for the purposes of sections 115(1) and 115(7) of the PPSA:

 

  (i)

each Finance Party with the benefit of the security interest need not comply with sections 95, 118, 121(4), 125,130, 132(3)(d) or 132(4) of the PPSA; and

 

 

Senior Loan Note Subscription Agreement    Page 93


  (ii)

sections 142 and 143 of the PPSA are excluded;

 

  (b)

for the purposes of section 115(7) of the PPSA, each Finance Party with the benefit of the security interest need not comply with sections 132 and 137(3);

 

  (c)

each Party waives its right to receive from any Finance Party any notice required under the PPSA (including a notice of a verification statement);

 

  (d)

if a Finance Party with the benefit of a security interest exercises a right, power or remedy in connection with it, that exercise is taken not to be an exercise of a right, power or remedy under the PPSA unless the Finance Party states otherwise at the time of exercise. However, this Clause does not apply to a right, power or remedy which can only be exercised under the PPSA; and

 

  (e)

if the PPSA is amended to permit the Parties to agree not to comply with or to exclude other provisions of the PPSA, the Lenders may notify the Borrower and the Finance Parties that any of these provisions is excluded, or that the Finance Parties need not comply with any of these provisions.

This does not affect any rights a person has or would have other than by reason of the PPSA and applies despite any other Clause in any Finance Document.

 

39.2

Further assurances

Whenever the Lenders requests an Obligor to do anything:

 

  (a)

to ensure any Finance Document (or any security interest (as defined in the PPSA) or other Security under any Finance Document) is fully effective, enforceable and perfected with the contemplated priority;

 

  (b)

for more satisfactorily assuring or securing to the Finance Parties the property the subject of any such security interest or other Security in a manner consistent with the Finance Documents; or

 

  (c)

for aiding the exercise of any power in any Finance Document,

the Obligor shall do it promptly at its own cost. This may include obtaining consents, signing documents, getting documents completed and signed and supplying information, delivering documents and evidence of title and executed blank transfers, or otherwise giving possession or control with respect to any property the subject of any security interest or Security.

 

40.

COUNTERPARTS

Each Finance Document may be executed in any number of counterparts, and this has the same effect as if the signatures on the counterparts were on a single copy of the Finance Document.

 

41.

INDEMNITIES AND REIMBURSEMENT

All indemnities and reimbursement obligations (and any other payment obligations of any Obligor) in each Finance Document are continuing and survive termination of the Finance Document, repayment of the Loans and cancellation or expiry of the Commitments.

 

 

Senior Loan Note Subscription Agreement    Page 94


42.

PROMPT PERFORMANCE

 

  (a)

If this deed specifies when an Obligor agrees to perform an obligation, that Obligor agrees to perform it by the time specified. Each Obligor agrees to perform all other obligations promptly.

 

  (b)

Time is of the essence in this deed in respect of an obligation to pay money.

 

43.

SURVIVAL

All representations and warranties contained in the Finance Documents shall survive the execution and delivery of such Finance Document, the assignment, novation or transfer by any Finance Party or portion thereof or interest therein and the payment of any Loan, and may be relied upon by any subsequent Finance Party, regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of such Finance Party. All statements contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of an Obligor pursuant to the Finance Documents shall be deemed representations and warranties of that Obligor under that Finance Document.

 

44.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Except as expressly set out in the Finance Documents none of the Finance Parties or any of their advisers have given any representation or warranty or other assurance to any Obligor in relation to the Finance Documents and the transactions they contemplate, including as to tax or other effects. The Obligors have not relied on any of them or on any conduct (including any recommendation) by any of them. The Obligors have obtained their own tax and legal advice.

The Code of Banking Practice does not apply to the Finance Documents and the transactions under them.

 

45.

CONTRACTUAL RECOGNITION OF BAIL-IN

Notwithstanding any other term of any Finance Document or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding between the parties to this Agreement, each party to this Agreement acknowledges and accepts that any liability of any party to this Agreement to any other party to this Agreement under or in connection with the Finance Documents may be subject to Bail-In Action by the relevant Resolution Authority and acknowledges and accepts to be bound by the effect of any Bail-In Action in relation to any such liability, including (without limitation):

 

  (a)

a reduction, in full or in part, in the principal amount, or outstanding amount due (including any accrued but unpaid interest) in respect of any such liability;

 

  (b)

a conversion of all, or part of, any such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership that may be issued to, or conferred on, it;

 

  (c)

a cancellation of any such liability; and

 

  (d)

a variation of any term of any Finance Document to the extent necessary to give effect to any Bail-In Action in relation to any such liability.

For the avoidance of doubt, each party to this Agreement acknowledges that this Clause 45 (Contractual Recognition of Bail-In) does not extend to any liability of any party under this Agreement other than a liability which is subject to Bail-in Action by the relevant Resolution Authority.

  (b)

The Parties agree that those courts are the most appropriate and convenient courts to settle Disputes and accordingly no Party will argue to the contrary.

This Clause 47.1 (Jurisdiction) is for the benefit of the Finance Parties only. As a result, no Finance Party shall be prevented from taking proceedings relating to a Dispute in any other courts with jurisdiction.

  (a)

irrevocably appoints the Borrower as its agent for service of process in relation to any proceedings in connection with any Finance Document; and

 

  (b)

agrees that failure by a process agent to notify the relevant Obligor of the process will not invalidate the proceedings concerned.

Each party expressly agrees and consents to the provisions of this Clause 47 (Enforcement).

This Agreement has been entered into and executed as a deed on the date stated at the beginning of this Agreement.

THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE FACILITY OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH.

In this paragraph, terms defined in the Security Trust Deed have the same meaning. If the New Lender is not already a Beneficiary under the Security Trust Deed, the Security Trustee agrees on behalf of itself and all other Beneficiaries as set out in the Recognition Deed issued under the Security Trust Deed in favour of [insert party/ies] 1 . In consideration for that agreement, the New Lender agrees that upon becoming a Lender it is bound by the Recognition Deed, and therefore by the terms set out in the Security Trust Deed as set out in the Recognition Deed.2 This Transfer Certificate does not impose any other obligation nor constitute any other conduct by the Security Trustee or other Beneficiaries.

Note: it is not necessary that the Existing Lender transfer rights in the security or under the Security Trust Deed to the New Lender, only that the New Lender become a Beneficiary and bound by the terms of the Recognition Deed. If the Existing Lender is novating its entire participation so it ceases to be a Lender under a Facility Agreement, with no commitment and no amounts owed to it, then under the Security Trust Deed, it will cease to be a Beneficiary.
