It may exercise those Powers and its Powers without taking possession or being liable as mortgagee in possession. Without limitation it may exercise those Powers and its Powers directly or through one or more agents. In the latter event anything done or incurred by an agent will be taken to be done or incurred by the Mortgagee.

 

9.11Withdrawal

 

The Mortgagee may give up possession of any Secured Property and withdraw any receivership at any time.

(i)the Mortgagor is obliged, but has failed, to do under any Transaction Document; or

 

(ii)any Beneficiary or any Receiver is authorised or empowered to do under any Transaction Document or any law, but only at the times that that Beneficiary or a Receiver (if a Receiver had been appointed) would have been able to do it.

(i)do anything which in the opinion of the Mortgagee or the Attorney is necessary or expedient to secure, preserve, perfect or give effect to the security contained in a Mortgage (including anything under clause 11 (Completion of blank securities) or 12 (Performance of Mortgagor’s obligations)). For example, it may execute a legal mortgage, transfer, extension of mortgage, transfer of land by mortgagee, discharge of mortgage, Lease, extension or surrender of Lease, assignment, caveat and any other assurance of any Secured Property in favour of any Beneficiary, any purchaser or any nominee; and

 

(ii)delegate the Attorney’s powers (including delegation).

 

(c)No Attorney appointed under this Deed has power to act inconsistently with this Deed, a Mortgage or any other Transaction Document.

 

(d)The appointment of an Attorney will not make any Beneficiary liable as mortgagee in possession.

 

11Completion of Blank Securities

(a)complete any document which at any time is executed by or on behalf of the Mortgagor or the Issuer and deposited with any Beneficiary.

page 11

 

Mortgage Terms Deed

 

(b)amend any particulars contained in this Deed, a Mortgage, any transfer or other instrument relating to the Secured Property as the Mortgagee may consider necessary to obtain registration or otherwise to perfect the security intended to be given by the Mortgage.

 

12Performance of Mortgagor’s Obligations

 

If at any time the Mortgagor fails duly to perform any obligation in any Transaction Document, the Mortgagee or any person it authorises may do anything which in its opinion is necessary or expedient to make good or to attempt to make good that failure to its satisfaction.

 

13Inspection

 

The Mortgagee or any person it authorises may inspect and copy the records of the Mortgagor related to the Secured Property and inspect the premises of the Mortgagor and its Subsidiaries and inspect the Secured Property at any time after an Event of Default (whether or not it is continuing). The Mortgagor will do everything in its power to assist that inspection and copying and ensure that its employees and officers and its Subsidiaries and their employees and officers do the same.

15Application of Money Received

 

15.1Order

 

To the extent permitted by law, all money received by a Controller, an Attorney or any Beneficiary under or by virtue of this Deed or a Mortgage shall be applied in the manner and order determined by the Mortgagee. If the Mortgagee does not make a determination, the following order will apply.

 

(a)First: all costs, charges and expenses of any Beneficiary, Controller or Attorney which are incurred in or are incidental to the exercise or performance or attempted exercise or performance of a Power or otherwise in relation to this Deed, a Mortgage or any Ancillary Security.

 

(b)Second: any other outgoings which the Controller, Attorney or the Mortgagee thinks fit to pay.

 

(c)Third: the Controller’s remuneration.

(e)Fifth: to the Mortgagee for the account of the Beneficiaries towards satisfaction of the Secured Money (rateably among the Beneficiaries, if more than one, but subject to any agreement between the Beneficiaries).

 

(f)Sixth: to each holder of a Security of which the Mortgagee is aware and which ranks after the Mortgage in relation to the relevant Secured Property, to the extent, and in order, of priority.

 

(g)Seventh: the surplus (if any) belongs to the Mortgagor.

 

The surplus will not carry interest. If it pays the surplus to the credit of an account in the name of the Mortgagor with any bank carrying on business in Australia, the Controller, Beneficiary or Attorney (as the case may be) will be under no further liability in respect of it.

 

15.2Money actually received

 

(a)In applying any money towards satisfaction of the Secured Money the Mortgagor will be credited only with the money available for that purpose which is actually received by the relevant Beneficiary. The credit will date from the time of receipt.

 

(b)That money will be appropriated as between principal, interest and other amounts as the relevant Beneficiary determines. Any such appropriation by the relevant Beneficiary will override any appropriation made by the Mortgagor.

 

15.3Amounts contingently due

 

If any Secured Money is contingently owing to any Beneficiary at the time of a distribution of an amount under clause 15.1 (Order):

 

(a)that amount will be taken to be money due and owing under the relevant Mortgage for the purposes of s58(3) of the Real Property Act 1900 (NSW) or s112(4) of the Conveyancing Act 1919 (NSW); and

 

(b)the Mortgagee may retain any of that amount.

 

 
page 13

 

Mortgage Terms Deed

 

If the Mortgagee does retain any of that amount, it will place the amount retained on short term interest bearing deposit until the relevant Secured Money becomes actually due or ceases to be contingently owing, and the Mortgagee shall then:

 

(c)pay to that Beneficiary the amount which becomes actually due to it; and

 

(d)apply the balance of the amount retained (together with interest earned on the deposit) in accordance with clause 15.1 (Order).

 

15.4Notice of subsequent Security

 

(a)If any Beneficiary receives actual or constructive notice of a subsequent Security affecting any Secured Property it may open a separate account in the name of the Mortgagor or the Issuer in the books of that Beneficiary.

 

(b)If that Beneficiary does not open a new account it will be treated as if it had done so at the time it received actual or constructive notice of the Security.

 

(c)From the time the new account is opened or is taken to be opened:

 

(i)all advances and accommodation made available by that Beneficiary to the Mortgagor or the Issuer;

 

(ii)all payments and repayments made by the Mortgagor or the Issuer to that Beneficiary; and

 

(iii)money to be applied towards the Secured Money under clause 15.1(e) (Order),

 

will be or will be taken to be debited or credited, as appropriate, to the new account. Payments, repayments and other money will only be applied in reduction of other Secured Money to the extent that there is no debit balance in that account.

 

15.5Conversion of currencies on application

 

For the purpose of making an application under clause 15.1 (Order) any Beneficiary, Controller or Attorney may purchase one currency with another, whether or not through an intermediate currency, whether spot or forward, in the manner and at the time it thinks fit.

(b)The Mortgagee or any Controller may pay or agree to pay the amount certified by the holder of a Security or purported Security to be necessary to discharge it or some of the indebtedness secured by it or to acquire it. From the date of payment that amount will be part of the Secured Money and the Mortgagor shall indemnify the Mortgagee (or if other Beneficiaries indemnify the Mortgagee, those other Beneficiaries) and the Controller against that amount. This applies whether or not that Security or purported Security was valid or prior, equal or subsequent ranking or the property or money stated in the certificate were secured by it.

 

17Protection of Beneficiaries, Controller and Attorney

 

To the extent permitted by law, no Beneficiary, Controller or Attorney will be liable:

 

(a)in respect of any conduct, delay, negligence or breach of duty in the exercise or non- exercise of a Power; nor

 

(b)for any loss (including indirect loss) which results, except where it arises from fraud or gross negligence on the part of any Beneficiary, Controller or Attorney.

18.2Receipt

 

The receipt of any Authorised Officer of any Beneficiary, Controller or Attorney (or person who purports, or is purported, to be a Controller or Attorney) for any money or assets payable to or receivable or received by it exonerates the person paying that money or handing over that asset from being concerned as to their application, or from being liable or accountable for their loss or misapplication.

20.2Reimbursement

 

Where an amount to be reimbursed or indemnified against under a Transaction Document is denominated in a currency other than US dollars, if the person to be reimbursed or indemnified so requests, the Mortgagor shall reimburse or indemnify it against the amount of US dollars which the person certifies that it used to buy the relevant amount of the other currency in accordance with its normal procedures.

Interest on amounts other than Australian or New Zealand dollars or Sterling is calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days.

(a)as to the amount of Secured Money stated in that certificate;

 

(b)that a document specified in that certificate is a Transaction Document; and

 

(c)that the relevant Beneficiary is of the opinion stated in the certificate.

(a)(Representations and warranties) Each representation or warranty in a Transaction Document survives the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and the provision of financial accommodation.

 

(b)(Indemnity) Each indemnity, reimbursement or similar obligation in a Transaction Document:

(b)any judgment, right or remedy against any person, which any Beneficiary or any person claiming through any Beneficiary may have at any time.

27Severability of Provisions

 

(a)Any provision of this Deed , a Mortgage or any Ancillary Security which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction is ineffective as to that jurisdiction to the extent of the prohibition or unenforceability. That does not invalidate the remaining provisions of this Deed, a Mortgage or any Ancillary Security nor affect the validity or enforceability of that provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

(b)Without limiting the generality of paragraph (a):

 

(i)the definition of Secured Money for the purposes of a Mortgage does not include any liability so long as and to the extent that the inclusion of that liability would avoid, invalidate or render ineffective clause 3 or the security constituted by the Mortgage; and

 

(ii)the definition of Secured Property for the purposes of a Mortgage does not include any asset so long as and to the extent that the inclusion of that asset would invalidate, avoid or render ineffective clause 3 or the security constituted by the Mortgage.

The Mortgagor shall comply with any direction under this clause.

 

If the Mortgagor receives any proceeds from the Liquidation of the Issuer or any other security provider (whether following a direction of the Mortgagee or otherwise) it shall immediately pay those proceeds to the Mortgagee in reduction of the Secured Money. Until it makes that payment, those proceeds will be held in trust for the Mortgagee.

(c)any Beneficiary is required to return or repay any money or asset received by it under any such transaction or the equivalent in value of that money or asset, each Beneficiary will immediately become entitled against the Mortgagor to all rights in respect of the Secured Money and the Secured Property which it would have had if all or the relevant part of the transaction or receipt had not taken place. The Mortgagor shall indemnify each Beneficiary against any resulting loss, cost or expense. This clause continues to apply after this Deed and the Mortgage is discharged.

(b)A Beneficiary may exchange currencies to make that set-off. Any right of set-off will extinguish the relevant obligations only to the extent set off.

 

35Acknowledgement by Mortgagor
