The Secured Party may apply the money (including interest) to reduce the Obligations whenever the Secured Party thinks fit.
(b)

Exercise of rights by Secured Party

If the Secured Party exercises a Power in connection with this document, that exercise is taken not to be an exercise of a right, power or remedy under the PPSA unless the Secured Party states otherwise at the time of exercise.

Secured Party may set off

At any time while an Event of Default is continuing, the Secured Party may, without any demand or notice, set off and apply indebtedness it owes to the Grantor (whatever the currency) against any money owing to it by the Grantor under any Security Trustee Document, whether or not the amount owed by the Secured Party or the Grantor is immediately payable or is owed alone or with any other person. The Grantor irrevocably authorises the Secured Party to do anything necessary (including to sign any document and effect appropriate currency exchanges) for that purpose.

19.5
Reinstating avoided transaction
(a)
The Grantor agrees that if a payment or other transaction relating to the Obligations is void, voidable, unenforceable or defective for any reason or a related claim is upheld, conceded or settled (each an Avoidance), then even though the Secured Party knew or should have known of the Avoidance:
(i)
each Power and the Grantor's liability under each Loan 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
(ii)
the Grantor will immediately execute and do anything required by the Secured Party to restore the Secured Party to its position immediately before the Avoidance (including reinstating any Loan Document).

20.4
Powers

Powers under the Loan Documents are cumulative and do not limit or exclude Powers under law. Full or partial exercise of a Power does not prevent a further exercise of that or any other Power. No failure or delay in exercising a Power operates as a waiver or representation. Unless expressly provided in a Loan Document, no Power or Loan Document merges in, limits or excludes any other Power, Loan Document or judgment which the Secured Party or a Receiver (or anyone claiming through it) may have or obtain.

20.5
Consent and waivers

A consent or waiver by the Secured Party or a Receiver in relation to this document is effective only if in writing. If given subject to conditions, the consent or waiver only takes effect subject to compliance with those conditions to the Secured Party's or Receiver's satisfaction.

20.6
Indemnities and reimbursement obligations

The Secured Party or a Receiver need not incur an expense or make a payment before enforcing an indemnity or reimbursement obligation in a Security Trustee Document. Unless otherwise stated, each such indemnity or reimbursement obligation is separate and independent of each other obligation of the party giving it, is absolute, irrevocable, unconditional and payable on demand and continues despite any settlement of account, termination of any Security Trustee Document or anything else.

20.7
Notices or demands as evidence

A notice or certificate from or demand by the Secured Party stating that an Event of Default has occurred, or that a specified sum of money is owing or payable under a Security Trustee Document or stating any other fact or determination relevant to the rights or obligations of the Secured Party or the Grantor under a Loan Document, is taken to be correct unless proved incorrect.

20.8
Law and legislation

To the extent permitted by law:

(a)
each Loan Document to which the Grantor is expressed to be a party prevails to the extent of inconsistency with any law; and
(b)
any present or future legislation operating to reduce the Grantor's obligations under a Loan Document or the effectiveness of the Powers is excluded.
20.9
Severability

A provision of this document that is illegal, invalid or unenforceable in a jurisdiction is ineffective in that jurisdiction to the extent of the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability. This does not affect the validity or enforceability of that provision in any other jurisdiction, nor the remainder of this document in any jurisdiction.

20.10
Variation

A variation of this document must be in writing and signed by or on behalf of each party to it.

20.11

20.12
Governing law – Security Interest

Subject to paragraph (b), each Security Interest created under this document is governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia.
(b)
Paragraph (a) does not apply to the extent that a Security Interest is created under this document in any personal property described in section 237(2) of the PPSA, in which case the law determined by the PPSA will govern the Security Interest in that property.
20.13
Jurisdiction

Each party irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales, Australia (and any court of appeal) and waives any right to object to an action being brought in those courts, including on the basis of an inconvenient forum or those courts not having jurisdiction.

20.14
Service of process

 

 

24


 

(a)
Without preventing any other mode of service, any document in an action or process may be served on any party by being delivered to or left for that party at its address for service of Notices under this document.
(b)
The Grantor appoints the Share Issuer as its agent to accept service of process under or in connection with this document, and the Share Issuer accepts the appointment. The appointment may not be revoked without the Secured Party's consent.
20.15
Counterparts
(a)
This document may be executed in any number of counterparts or copies, each of which may be executed by physical signature in wet ink or electronically (whether in whole or part). A party who has executed a counterpart of this document may exchange it with another party (the Recipient) by:
(i)
emailing a copy of the executed counterpart to the Recipient; or
(ii)
utilising an electronic platform (including DocuSign) to circulate the executed counterpart,

and will be taken to have adequately identified themselves by so emailing the copy to the Recipient or utilising the electronic platform.

(b)
Each party consents to signatories and parties executing this document by electronic means and to identifying themselves in the manner specified in this clause.
(c)
Each counterpart constitutes an original (whether kept in electronic or paper form), all of which together constitute one instrument as if the signatures (or other execution markings) on the counterparts or copies were on a single physical copy of this document in paper form. Without limiting the foregoing, if any of the signatures or other markings on behalf of one party are on different counterparts or copies of this document, this shall be taken to be, and have the same effect as, signatures on the same counterpart and on a single copy of this document.
