  (b)

is payable on each Interest Payment Date; and

     
  (c)

is calculated on actual days elapsed using a year of 360 days.

for the first Interest Period, the period specified in the Utilisation Notice; and

       
  (ii)

for each subsequent Interest Period, the period specified in an Interest Period Selection Notice given by the Borrower to the Financier by 11 am on the third Business Day before the last day of the current Interest Period.

5.2

Market disruption

       
(a)

If a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to an Advance for any Interest Period, then the rate of interest of that Advance for the Interest Period shall be the rate per annum which is the sum of:

       
(i)

the applicable Margin; and

       
(ii)

the rate expressed as a percentage rate per annum that reflects the Financier’s cost of funding that Utilisation from whatever sources it may reasonably select including, at the Financier’s discretion, by reference the Screen Rate for LIBOR available prior to the Market Disruption Event for a period equal in length to the Interest Period of that Advance.

       
(b)

(i)

at or about noon on the day for determining the Interest Rate for the relevant Interest Period pages LIBOR01 or LIBOR02 of the Thomson Reuters screen (or any replacement Thomson Reuters page which displays that rate) or on the appropriate page of such other information service which publishes that rate from time to time in place of Thomson Reuters is not available or the rate displayed on the available page is zero or negative and none or only one of the Reference Banks supplies a rate to the Financier to determine LIBOR for United States Dollars for the relevant Interest Period; or

       
(ii)

before noon on the Business Day immediately following the day for determining the Interest Rate for the relevant Interest Period, the Financier becomes aware that the cost to it of obtaining matching deposits in the London interbank market would be in excess of LIBOR or that it is unable to obtain matching deposits in the London interbank market.

       
5.3

Alternative basis of interest or funding

       
(a)

If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Financier or the Borrower so requires, the Financier and the Borrower shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest.

       
(b)

Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to paragraph (a) above shall be binding on all parties to this document.

  (vi)

by which any person who was intended to guarantee any Obligor’s obligations does not do so, or does not do so effectively;

       
  (vii)

by which a person who is a co-surety or co-indemnifier for payment of the Secured Money is discharged under an agreement or by operation of law;

No merger

This Guarantee does not merge with or adversely affect, and is not adversely affected by, any of the following:

  (a)

any other guarantee, indemnity, or Encumbrance, or other right, power or remedy to which the Finance Party is entitled; or

     
  (b)

a judgment which the Finance Party obtains against the Guarantors, the Borrower or any other person in connection with the Secured Money.

The Finance Party may still exercise their rights under this Guarantee as well as under the judgment, guarantee, indemnity, Encumbrance or right, power or remedy.

18.10

Extent of Guarantor’s obligations

If more than one person is named as “Guarantor”, each of them is liable for all the obligations under this Guarantee both individually and jointly with any one or more other persons named as “Guarantor”.

18.11

Guarantor’s rights are suspended

As long as there is any Secured Money (or any other amounts secured by any Encumbrance that secures amounts including the Secured Money), a Guarantor may not, without the Finance Parties’ consent:

© King & Wood Mallesons Facility Agreement 71
26683604_4    



  (a)

reduce its liability under this Guarantee by claiming that it or the Borrower, another Obligor or any other person has a right of set-off or counterclaim against the Finance Parties; or

       
  (b)

claim, or exercise any right to claim, to be entitled (whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) to the benefit of another guarantee, indemnity (or another assurance against loss similar to a guarantee or indemnity) or Encumbrance:

       
  (i)

in connection with the Finance Documents including the Secured Money or any other amount payable under this Guarantee (for example, the Guarantor may not try to enforce or require the enforcement of any Encumbrance the Security Trustee has taken that secures amounts including the Secured Money); or

       
  (ii)

in favour of a person other than a Finance Party in connection with any obligations of, or any other amounts payable, by any Obligor to, or for the account of, that other person; or

  (d)

claim an amount in the Insolvency of the Borrower or of another guarantor of the Secured Money (including a person who has signed this document as a “Guarantor”).

If the Financier asks, each Guarantor agrees to notify any relevant person of the terms of this clause and other parts of this Guarantee that may be relevant. Each Guarantor also authorises the Financier to do so at any time in its discretion and without first asking the Guarantor to do it. This applies despite anything else in this Guarantee.

This clause continues after this Guarantee ends.

18.12

Guarantor’s right of proof limited

Each Guarantor agrees not to exercise a right of proof after an event occurs relating to the Insolvency of the Borrower or another guarantor of the Secured Money (including a person who has signed this document as a “Guarantor”) independently of an attorney appointed under clause 18.15 (“Right to prove”).

18.13

No set-off against assignees

If a Finance Party assigns or otherwise deals with its rights under this Guarantee, a Guarantor may not claim against any assignee (or any other person who has an interest in this Guarantee) any right of set-off, counterclaim or other right the Guarantor has against the Finance Party.

18.14

Suspense account

a Finance Party may place in a suspense account any payment they receive from a Guarantor for as long as they think prudent and need not apply it towards satisfying the Secured Money.

18.15

Right to prove

Each Guarantor irrevocably appoints each Finance Party and each of their Authorised Officers individually as its attorney and agrees to formally approve all action taken by an attorney under this clause.

Each attorney may:

© King & Wood Mallesons Facility Agreement 72
26683604_4    



  (a)

do anything which the Guarantor may lawfully do to exercise its right of proof after an event relating to Insolvency occurs in respect of the Borrower or any other guarantor of the Borrower’s obligations in connection with a matter not connected with the Guarantor’s rights as “Guarantor” under this document. (These things may be done in the Guarantor’s name or the attorney’s name and they include signing and delivering documents, taking part in legal proceedings and receiving any dividend arising out of the right of proof); and

     
  (b)

delegate its powers (including this power) and may revoke a delegation; and

     
  (c)

exercise its powers even if this involves a conflict of duty and even if it has a personal interest in doing so.

The attorney need not account to a Guarantor for any dividend received on exercising the right of proof under clause 18.15(a) except to the extent that any dividend remains after the Finance Parties have received all of the Secured Money and all other amounts payable under this Guarantee.

18.16

Ratification

Each Obligor which holds shares in any other Obligor ratifies and directs the execution by that other Obligor of each Security Document to which that other Obligor is a party. Each Obligor does this in its capacity as shareholder.

19

Compulsory release of FATCA FFIs and US Tax Obligors

If so directed by a Finance Party, the Borrower agrees to ensure that any Obligor which is a FATCA FFI or a US Tax Obligor ceases to be a Guarantor before the earliest FATCA Application Date relating to any payment by that Obligor (or any payment by a Finance Party which relates to a payment by that Obligor).

Part 7 General
   
20    Dealing with interests
   
20.1    No dealing by Obligor

An Obligor may not assign or otherwise deal with its rights under this document or allow any interest in it to arise or be varied, in each case, without the Finance Parties’ consent.

20.2

Dealings by Finance Parties

The Finance Parties may assign or otherwise deal with its rights under this document (including by assignment or participation) without the consent of any person.

(a)

left at the address set out in the Details or Schedule 1 (“Guarantors”); or

     
(b)

sent by prepaid ordinary post (airmail, if appropriate) to the address set out in the Details or Schedule 1 (“Guarantors”); or

     
(c)

However, if the intended recipient has notified a changed address or fax number, then communications must be to that address or number.

21.4

26683604_4    



21.7

Reliance on communications

Any communication sent in accordance with this clause 21 can be relied on by the recipient if the recipient reasonably believes the communication is genuine and if it bears what appears to be the signature (original or facsimile) of an Authorised Officer of the sender (without the need for further enquiry or confirmation). Each party must take reasonable care to ensure that no forged, false or unauthorised communications are sent to another party.

21.8

Borrower and Obligors

Each Obligor irrevocably authorises the Borrower to give and receive communications on its behalf. Each other party may rely on any such communication as if it was made by an Obligor, and the Obligor is bound by it.

22

General

   
22.1

Application to Finance Documents

If anything in this clause 22 is inconsistent with a provision in another Finance Document, then the provision in the other Finance Document prevails for the purposes of that Finance Document.

22.2

Prompt performance

If a Finance Document specifies when a party agrees to perform an obligation, the party agrees to perform it by the time specified. Each party agrees to perform all of its other obligations promptly. Time is of the essence in any Finance Document in respect of an obligation of an Obligor to pay money.

22.3

Certificates

A Finance Party may give an Obligor a certificate about an amount payable or other matter in connection with a Finance Document. The certificate is sufficient evidence of the amount or matter, unless it is proved to be incorrect.

22.4

Set-off

If an Event of Default is continuing, a Finance Party may set off any amount owing by the Finance Party to an Obligor (whether or not due for payment) against any amount due for payment by the Obligor to the Finance Party in connection with a Finance Document.

The Finance Parties may do anything necessary to effect any set-off under this clause (including varying the date for payment of any amount owing by the Finance Party to the Obligor and making currency exchanges). This clause applies despite any other agreement between the Obligor and the Finance Party.

A security interest created by this document over any account with the Finance Party into which money is credited is subject to the Finance Party’s rights under this clause. This clause also applies despite any other agreement between the Obligor and the Finance Party.

22.5

Discretion in exercising rights

The Finance Parties may exercise a right, power or remedy or give or refuse its consent, approval or a waiver in connection with a Finance Document in its absolute discretion (including by imposing conditions).

© King & Wood Mallesons Facility Agreement 75
26683604_4    



22.6

Partial exercising of rights

If a Finance Party does not exercise a right, power or remedy in connection with a Finance Document fully or at a given time, the Finance Party may still exercise it later.

22.7

Conditions of consents, approvals or waivers

Each Obligor agrees to comply with all conditions in any consent, approval or waiver given in connection with a Finance Document.

22.8

No liability for loss

The Finance Parties are not liable for any loss, liability or Costs caused by the exercise or attempted exercise of, failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, a right, power or remedy in connection with a Finance Document.

22.9

Conflict of interest

The Finance Parties may exercise its rights, powers and remedies in connection with a Finance Document even if this involves a conflict of interest or the Finance Parties have a personal interest in their exercise.

22.10

Remedies cumulative

The Finance Parties’ rights, powers and remedies in connection with a Finance Document are in addition to other rights, powers and remedies given by law independently of the Finance Document.

22.11

Indemnities and reimbursement obligations

Any indemnity, reimbursement or similar obligation in a Finance Document given by an Obligor and an obligation to make a payment under 9 (“Withholding tax”) or 10 (“Increased costs and illegality”):

  (a)

is a continuing obligation despite any intervening payment, settlement or other thing; and

     
  (b)

is independent of the Obligor’s other obligations under the Finance Document; and

     
  (c)

survives the termination or discharge of the Finance Document, the repayment of financial accommodation and the cancellation or expiry of the Commitments.

It is not necessary for a Finance Party to incur expense or make payment before enforcing a right of indemnity in connection with a Finance Document.

22.12

Rights and obligations are unaffected

The Finance Parties’ rights, powers and remedies and an Obligor’s obligations in connection with a Finance Document are not affected by anything which might otherwise affect them at law.

22.13

Inconsistent law

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

22.14

Supervening law

Any present or future law which operates to vary an Obligor’s obligations in connection with a Finance Document with the result that a Finance Party’s rights, powers or remedies are adversely affected (including by way of delay or postponement) is excluded except to the extent that its exclusion is prohibited or rendered ineffective by law.

© King & Wood Mallesons Facility Agreement 76
26683604_4    



22.15

Variation and waiver

A provision of a Finance Document, or right created under it, may not be varied or waived except in writing signed by or on behalf of the party or parties to be bound.

22.16

Confidentiality

Each party agrees not to disclose information provided by any other party that is not publicly available (including the existence of or contents of any Finance Document) except:

  (a)

to any person in connection with an exercise of rights or a dealing with rights or obligations under a Finance Document in connection with preparatory steps such as negotiating with any potential transferee or sub-participant or any other person who is considering contracting with a Finance Party in connection with a Finance Document; or

     
  (b)

to a person considering entering into (or who enters into) a credit default swap with a Finance Party involving credit events relating to an Obligor or any of its Related Entities; or

     
  (c)

to officers, employees, agents, contractors, legal and other advisers and auditors of an Obligor or a Finance Party; or

     
  (d)

to any Obligor or Finance Party or any Related Entity of any of them, provided the recipient agrees to act consistently with this clause 22.16; or

     
  (e)

with the consent of the party who provided the information (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); or

     
  (f)

any disclosure the disclosing party reasonably believes is required by any law, stock exchange or rating agency (except this paragraph does not permit a Finance Party to disclose any information under section 275(4) of the PPSA unless section 275(7) of the PPSA applies).

Each party consents to disclosures made in accordance with this clause 22.16.

22.17

Further steps

Each Obligor agrees to do anything a Finance Party reasonably asks (such as obtaining consents, signing and producing documents and getting documents completed and signed) to:

  (a)

bind an Obligor and any other person intended to be bound under the Finance Documents; or

     
  (b)

enable the Security Trustee to register any power of attorney in this document or any similar power; or

     
  (c)

show whether an Obligor is complying with the Finance Documents; or

     
  (d)

if the Security Trustee determines that a Finance Document (or a transaction in connection with it) is or contains a security interest at Law (including for the purposes of the PPSA), do anything the Security Trustee reasonably asks to:


© King & Wood Mallesons Facility Agreement 77
26683604_4    



   

(i)  

ensure that the security interest is enforceable, perfected (including, where possible, by control in addition to registration) and otherwise effective; or
       
(ii)

enable the Security Trustee to apply for any registration, or give any notification, in connection with the security interest so that the security interest has the priority required by the Security Trustee (including a registration for what whatever collateral class the Security Trustee thinks fit and the Obligor consents to any such registration or notification and agrees not to make an amendment demand); or

       
(iii)

enable the Security Trustee to exercise rights in connection with the security interest.

       
22.18

Exclusion of PPSA provisions

       

To the extent the law permits:

       
(a)

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

       
(i)

the Security Trustee need not comply with sections 95, 118, 121(4), 125, 130, 132(3)(d) or 132(4); and

       
(ii)

sections 142 and 143 are excluded;

       
(b)

for the purposes of section 115(7) of the PPSA, the Security Trustee need not comply with sections 132 and 137(3);

       
(c)

if the PPSA is amended after the date of this document to permit a grantor and a secured party to agree to not comply with or to exclude other provisions of the PPSA, the Security Trustee may notify the grantor of a security interest that any of these provisions is excluded, or that the Security Trustee need not comply with any of these provisions as notified to the grantor by the Security Trustee; and

       
(d)

the grantor of a security interest agrees not to exercise its rights to make any request of the Security Trustee under section 275 of the PPSA, or to authorise the disclosure of any information under that section or to waive any duty of confidence that would otherwise permit non-disclosure under that section.

       
22.19

Exercise of rights by a Finance Party

If a Finance Party exercises a right, power or remedy in connection with a Finance Document, 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.

22.20

No notice required unless mandatory

       

To the extent the law permits, a grantor of a security interest waives:

       
(a)

its rights to receive any notice that is required by:

       
(i)

any provision of the PPSA (including a notice of a verification statement); or

       
(ii)

any other law before a secured party or Receiver exercises a right, power or remedy; and


© King & Wood Mallesons Facility Agreement 78
26683604_4    



  (b)

any time period that must otherwise lapse under any other law before a secured party or Receiver exercises a right, power or remedy.

If the law which requires a period of notice or a lapse of time cannot be excluded, but the law provides that the period of notice or lapse of time may be agreed, that period or lapse is one day or the minimum period the law allows to be agreed (whichever is the longer).

However, nothing in this clause prohibits the Security Trustee from giving a notice under the PPSA or any other law.

22.21

Code of Banking Practice

The parties agree that the Code of Banking Practice does not apply to the Finance Documents and the transactions in connection with them.

22.22

Counterparts

Each Finance Document may consist of a number of copies, each signed by one or more parties to the Finance Document. If so, the signed copies are treated as making up the one document.

23

Governing law and jurisdiction

   
23.1

Governing law and jurisdiction

The law in force in Western Australia governs each Finance Document and, to the extent permitted by law, all matters in connection with each Finance Document including any non-contractual matters except to the extent that the validity, creation or perfection of a mortgage lien or security interest under this or any other Finance Document, or remedies hereunder or thereunder, in respect of any particular Collateral are mandatorily governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than Western Australia. The parties submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of that place. To the extent permitted by law, the law of the Commonwealth as it applies in that jurisdiction governs a security interest provided for under the Finance Documents.

23.2

Serving documents

Without preventing any other method of service, any document in an action in connection with any Finance Document may be served on a party by being delivered to or left at that party’s address for service of notices under clause 21.3 (“Delivery”) or with its process agent.

23.3

Appointment of Process Agent

       
(a)

Without prejudice to any mode of service allowed under any relevant law, each Obligor (other than an Obligor incorporated, formed, or registered as a foreign company, in Australia):

       
(i)

irrevocably appoints the Borrower as its process agent to receive any document in an action in connection with any Finance Document; and

       
(ii)

agrees that failure by a process agent to notify the relevant Obligor of any document in an action in connection with any Finance Document will not invalidate the action concerned.

       
(b)

If for any reason the Borrower ceases to be able to act as process agent, each relevant Obligor must appoint another person acceptable to the Finance Parties (acting reasonably) as its process agent in the place referred to in clause 23.1 (“Governing law and jurisdiction”) and ensure that the replacement process agent accepts its appointment and confirms its appointment to the Finance Parties.


© King & Wood Mallesons Facility Agreement 79
26683604_4    



  (c)

The Borrower accepts its appointment as the process agent.

     
  (d)

Each relevant Obligor agrees that service of documents on its process agent is sufficient service on it.
