Sims may at any time on a Business Day and within normal working hours, request that the Lender confirm whether it has determined that a Market Disruption Event has occurred and is continuing at that time. Without prejudice to the rights of the Lender under clause 4.7, the Lender shall promptly on receipt of any such request notify Sims whether at the time such notice is given it has determined that a Market Disruption Event has occurred.

Requirements for a Funding Notice

To be effective, a Funding Notice must:

be in writing in the form of, and specifying the matters required in:

Irrevocability of Funding Notice

The Borrower of a Funding Portion is irrevocably committed to draw Funding Portions from the Lender in accordance with each Funding Notice given to the Lender.

Selection of Funding Periods

A Borrower of any Funding Portion under the Cash Advance Facility, the Commercial Bills Facility or a Funding Portion to be provided as a Trade Advance or as Proceeds of Negotiation under the Trade Finance Facility must select the initial Funding Period which is to apply to the Funding Portion in the Funding Notice delivered for that Funding Portion.

A Borrower of a Funding Portion under the Cash Advance Facility may select a subsequent Funding Period which is to apply to the Funding Portion in a Selection Notice delivered for that Funding Portion.

Each Funding Period:

under the Cash Advance Facility must be of 1, 2, 3 or 6 months or any other period that the Lender agrees with the Borrower;

under the Commercial Bills Facility must be between 30 and 185 days;

for a Trade Advance must be between 7 and 185 days; and

for Proceeds of Negotiation must be no greater than 180 days.

If a Funding Period ends on a day which is not a Business Day, it is regarded as ending on the next Business Day in the same calendar month or, if none, the preceding Business Day.

A Funding Period for a Funding Portion commences either on the first Funding Date for that Funding Portion or on the last day of the immediately preceding Funding Period for that Funding Portion.

No Funding Period may end after the Termination Date for a Facility or the Final Termination Date.

If a Borrower:

fails to select a Funding Period for a Funding Portion under clause 4.5(a) or clause 4.5(b); or

selects a Funding Period in a manner which does not comply with this clause 4.5,

then that Funding Period will be 1 month or such other period as the Lender selects.

Determination of Funding Rate

The Lender must notify Sims of the Funding Rate for a Funding Period for a Funding Portion as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within 2 Business Days, after it has made its determination of the applicable Base Rate.

Each determination of the Base Rate by the Lender is sufficient evidence of that rate against the Borrowers unless the contrary is proved.

Market disruption

If the Lender determines that a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to a Funding Portion for any Funding Period, then it shall promptly notify Sims, and the Base Rate for the Funding Period shall be the rate notified to Sims by the Lender as soon as practicable and in any event before interest is due to be paid in respect of that Funding Period, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to the Lender of funding that Funding Portion from whatever source or sources it may reasonably select.

[*] Confidential Treatment Requested

19

The Lender shall determine the rate notified by it under clause 4.7(a) in good faith. The rate so notified and any notification under clause 4.7(c) will be conclusive and binding on the parties in the absence of manifest error.

In this agreement “Market Disruption Event” means:

at or about noon on the Rate Set Date for the relevant Funding Period the Applicable Screen Rate is not available and none or only one of the Reference Banks supplies a rate to the Lender to determine the Base Rate for the relevant currency and period; or

in relation to a Funding Portion for which the Base Rate was to have been LIBOR or EURIBOR, before 5pm (London time) on the Business Day after the Rate Set Date for the relevant Funding Period, the Lender is satisfied that as a result of circumstances affecting the market generally:

the cost to it on the Rate Set Date of obtaining matching deposits in the Relevant Interbank Market expressed as a rate percent per annum is or would be in excess of LIBOR or, if applicable, EURIBOR; or

it is unable to obtain matching deposits in the Relevant Interbank Market, or

in relation to a Funding Portion for which the Base Rate was to have been BBSY, before 5pm (Sydney time) on the Business Day after the Rate Set Date for the relevant Funding Period, the Lender is satisfied that as a result of circumstances affecting the market generally the cost to it of funding its participation in the Funding Portion exceeds BBSY.

Confidentiality

Each of the Lender and the Borrowers shall keep confidential and not disclose to any other person, any information relating to the Lender provided under clause 4.7.

However, the Lender, the Borrowers, or their officers or employees may disclose such information:

to the extent required by any applicable law or regulation; or

to the extent it reasonably deems necessary in connection with any actual or contemplated proceedings or a claim with respect to clauses 4.7 or 4.8.

Currency movements

On or following each Exchange Rate Calculation Date the Lender may calculate the Current Amount as at the Exchange Rate Calculation Date of each outstanding Funding Portion under a Facility and notify Sims of any amount required to be paid by it to the Lender under clause 4.9(b).

If, at an Exchange Rate Calculation Date, the aggregate Current Amount of each outstanding Funding Portion under a Facility is greater than 105% of the Commitment for that Facility, the Borrowers must, upon Sims receiving notice from the Lender under clause 4.9(a), pay to the Lender within 2 Business Days the amount of the difference.

All payments made under clause 4.9(b) must be deposited in an account:

with the Lender;

on which interest will accrue (and form part of the deposit on payment) at the usual 30 day deposit rate of the Lender for that type of account; and

are only available to the Borrower in accordance with clause 4.9(d) or upon termination and discharge of each Transaction Document and each Credit Support Document.

[*] Confidential Treatment Requested

20

If, at an Exchange Rate Calculation Date, the aggregate Current Amount of each outstanding Funding Portion under a Facility is less than the sum of:

the Commitment for that Facility; and

the balance of deposits held by the Lender under clause 4.9(c),

then Sims may direct the Lender to apply (and if so directed the Lender must apply) the lesser of the amount of the difference and the balance of the deposits towards repayment or prepayment of the Principal Outstanding under the Facility.

Unavailability of a currency

If, before the specified time for determining the Applicable Screen Rate for a Funding Portion on the Rate Set Date under a Facility (other than Funding Portions in respect of that Facility drawn under the Credit Support Facility) to be denominated in a Foreign Currency (other than USD) on any Rate Set Date:

Sims has received notice from the Lender that the Foreign Currency requested for that Funding Portion is not readily available to the Lender in the amount required or is not freely convertible into Dollars or USD in the Relevant Interbank Market; or

the Lender notifies the Borrowers that compliance with its obligation to provide the Funding Portion in the proposed Foreign Currency would require the Lender to obtain an Authorisation which has not already been obtained, would contravene a law or regulation applicable to it or is otherwise impossible or impracticable,

then the Lender will not be required to provide that Funding Portion in the Foreign Currency, but must if requested by Sims, provide that Funding Portion in USD.

Cash Advance Facility

Provision of Funding Portions

If a Borrower gives a Funding Notice for a Funding Portion denominated in Dollars under the Cash Advance Facility, the Lender must provide, subject to this agreement, the Funding Portion in Same Day Funds.

If a Borrower gives a Funding Notice for a Funding Portion denominated in a Foreign Currency under the Cash Advance Facility, and, in the case of a Foreign Currency other than an Available Currency which the Lender in its absolute discretion consents to provide the Funding Portion in that Foreign Currency, the Lender must provide, subject to this agreement, the Funding Portion in Same Day Funds in the Foreign Currency specified not later than 12 noon (being the time in the place of payment) on the specified Funding Date to the account specified by the Borrower in the Funding Notice and otherwise in accordance with the relevant Funding Notice.

If a Borrower requests in a Selection Notice that a Funding Portion for the Cash Advance Facility be divided into 2 or more Funding Portions with different Funding Periods selected by the Borrower in a manner which complies with clause 4.5, then that Funding Portion will be divided into the amounts and with the Funding Periods specified in the Selection Notice.

The Commitment of a Facility is not reduced by an amount prepaid in respect of that Facility under this clause 5.6 and accordingly, subject to this agreement, a prepaid amount may be redrawn.

A notice given under clause 5.6(a) is irrevocable.

Prepayment date

The Borrower may make a prepayment under clause 5.6 on any Business Day.

Interest

The Borrower of a Funding Portion under the Cash Advance Facility must pay interest on the principal amount of the Funding Portion for each Funding Period at the Funding Rate for the Funding Period.

Interest is calculated on daily balances on the basis of a 365 day year (in the case of a Funding Portion denominated in Dollars or Sterling) and on the basis of a 360 day year (in the case of a Funding Portion other than one denominated in Dollars or Sterling) and for the actual number of days elapsed from and including the first day of each Funding Period to, but excluding, the last day of the Funding Period or, if earlier, the date of prepayment or repayment of the Funding Portion under this agreement.

The Borrowers must pay accrued interest in arrears to the Lender on each Interest Payment Date.

Liquidity Bills

The Borrowers irrevocably and for value authorise the Lender, at its option, to prepare Liquidity Bills in respect of a Funding Portion under the Cash Advance Facility in Dollars so that:

their total face value amount does not exceed the outstanding principal amount of the Funding Portion and total interest payable to the Lender in respect of the Funding Portion;

their maturity date is not later than the last day of the Funding Period for that Funding Portion,

and to sign them as drawer or endorser in the name of and on behalf of the relevant Borrower.

The Lender may negotiate or deal with any Liquidity Bill prepared by it as it sees fit and for its own benefit.

The Lender must pay any Tax on or in respect of the Liquidity Bills and any dealing with the Liquidity Bills.

The Lender indemnifies a Borrower of a Funding Portion under the Cash Advance Facility against any Loss which the Borrower suffers, incurs or is liable for in respect of the Borrower being a party to a Liquidity Bill.

[*] Confidential Treatment Requested

Nothing in clause 5.9(d) affects a Borrower’s obligations under this agreement (including any Borrower’s obligations in relation to the payment of the Outstanding Moneys) which are absolute and unconditional obligations and not affected by any actual or contingent liability of the Lender to a Borrower under clause 5.9(d).

If a Borrower discharges any Liquidity Bill by payment, the amount of that payment is regarded as applied on the date of payment against the money owing by the Borrower to the Lender.

Fees

The Borrowers will pay to the Lender such fees referable to the Cash Advance Facility initially as specified in the Fee Schedule and thereafter as advised by the Lender from time to time.

Commercial Bills Facility

Availability

The Borrowers acknowledge that the Commercial Bills Facility is only available under the A$ Facility.

Failure to prepare Bills

If:

the Borrower of a Bill Funding fails to prepare or sign or deliver Bills in accordance with clause 6.3; or

the Lender elects to do so,

each Borrower irrevocably authorises the Lender to prepare and sign (by one of its Authorised Officers) as drawer, acceptor or endorser those Bills on behalf of the Borrower and in accordance with clause 6.5.

Form of Bills

Each Bill comprised in a Bill Funding must:

be in the form approved by the Lender from time to time;

be payable on a specified date and so as to exclude days of grace for payment;

have a maturity date which is a Business Day before the end of the Availability Period;

for Bills the Lender is required to endorse, be drawn with a third party named as drawer and the Borrower of the Bill Funding as acceptor and the Lender as payee;

for Bills the Lender is required to accept, be expressed to be payable at the Lending Office or such other place as the Lender may notify from time to time; and

The aggregate Face Value Amount of all Bills comprised in a Bill Funding must equal the aggregate amount of the Bill Funding requested under the relevant Funding Notice.

The Lender may vary the term and maturity date of any Bill comprised in a Bill Funding, despite any different term or maturity date requested in the relevant Funding Notice, if in the Lender’s opinion the variation is necessary so as to ensure that each Bill complies with this agreement, in particular clauses 6.5(a) and 6.5(b).

Each Borrower and the Lender must observe the requirements of the Bills of Exchange Act 1909 (Cth) to ensure the validity of each Bill.

Restriction on use by the Lender

The Lender must not use or deal with any Bill delivered to or prepared by it under this clause 6 except in accordance with this clause 6.

The Borrower of a Bill Funding must pay any Tax (other than an Excluded Tax) on or in respect of Bills and any dealing with Bills and the proceeds of Bills.

To the extent possible, any such Tax must be paid before any Bills are delivered to the Lender under clause 6.3.

Signing of Bills and appointment of Lender as attorney

All Bills under the Commercial Bills Facility to be signed by a Borrower (whether as drawer, acceptor or endorser) must be signed by an Authorised Officer on its behalf.

The Borrower must, immediately upon any change occurring in the identity of its Authorised Officers authorised to sign, draw, accept and endorse Bills on its behalf, provide to the Lender a new certificate satisfactory to the Lender to replace any certificate provided under clause 2.1.

Each Borrower irrevocably authorises and appoints the Lender and each Authorised Officer of the Lender as its attorney to prepare and execute for and on behalf of, and in the name of, any Borrower and to complete all Bills required by a Borrower for a Bill Funding.

Each Borrower must ratify and confirm anything done or caused to be done by its attorney pursuant to the power and authority granted by it under clause 6.8(c) or by the Lender in respect of any Bill which conforms with the relevant Funding Notice (as varied pursuant to clause 6.5(c)) and this agreement.

Notification of rate and discounting procedure

Where a Bill Funding has been requested, the Lender must not later than 10.45am (Sydney time) on the Funding Date notify the Bill Discount Rate for that Funding Date to Sims.

If:

before 11.15am (Sydney time) on the Funding Date the Borrower of the Bill Funding accepts the Lender’s Bill Discount Rate and requests the Lender to discount Bills; or

the Borrower of the Bill Funding has requested the Lender to discount Bills in the relevant Funding Notice,

the Lender must discount, or procure the discount of, those Bills at the Bill Discount Rate notified by it under clause 6.9(a) and, subject to clause 6.15(b), it must pay to the Borrower by 2.00 pm (Sydney time) on the Funding Date the aggregate Face Value Amount of the Bills less the aggregate of:

the aggregate Discount Amount in respect of each Bill;

the Bill Acceptance / Endorsement Fee in respect of those Bills;

any amount payable by the Borrower under clauses 6.7, 6.11 or 6.12 which remains unpaid; and

[*] Confidential Treatment Requested

26

Bills accepted or endorsed but not discounted

If the Lender is not required to discount Bills under clause 6.9:

before 1.00pm (Sydney time) on the Funding Date the Lender must, following acceptance or endorsement of the Bills in accordance with clause 6.1, release the Bills to the Borrower of the Bill Funding at the Lending Office but only against receipt of Same Day Funds for:

the Bill Acceptance / Endorsement Fee in respect of those Bills;

any amount payable by a Borrower under clauses 6.7, 6.11 or 6.12 which remains unpaid;

any Outstanding Current Bill Amount in respect of Bills under the Commercial Bills Facility on the Funding Date; and

each Borrower agrees that the Lender is entitled to participate in any tender or other process under which the Bills are discounted.

Borrower’s primary liability to pay Bills

As between the Lender and the Borrowers, the Borrowers are primarily liable in respect of Bills accepted by the Lender or endorsed by the Lender and accordingly the liability of a Borrower with respect to any Bill is not discharged if the Lender pays the Bill as acceptor or endorser or becomes the holder of the Bill at any time whether before, on or after maturity.

Indemnity in respect of Bills

The Borrowers indemnify the Lender against any claim, action, damage, loss, liability, cost, charge, expense, outgoing or payment (including, but not limited to, any Tax referred to in clause 6.7) which the Lender suffers, incurs or is liable for by reason of or arising out of or in consequence of the Lender signing, drawing, accepting or endorsing any Bill or otherwise dealing with any Bill in the manner contemplated by this agreement.

Variation of procedures

The Lender may, acting reasonably, vary any of the times at or by which any thing is to be done under this clause 6 to ensure the effective operation of the procedures contemplated by this clause 6. Any such variation will be binding on the Borrowers immediately upon Sims being notified of it.

Fees

On each Funding Date on which a Bill Funding is made, including in respect of a Bill Funding drawn in accordance with clause 6.15(e), the Borrowers must pay to the Lender as a Bill Acceptance / Endorsement Fee, an amount equal to the Bill Acceptance / Endorsement Fee Rate per annum of the Face Value Amount of each Bill accepted by the Lender on that Funding Date, calculated for the number of days in the tenor of each Bill on the basis of a 365 day year.

The Borrowers will pay to the Lender such other fees referable to the Commercial Bills Facility initially as specified in the Fee Schedule and thereafter as advised from time to time by the Lender to the Borrowers with at least 30 days notice.

Repayment by cash cover and netting

Subject to clause 6.15(b), the Borrower must not later than 1.00pm (Sydney time) on the maturity date for a Bill comprised in a Bill Funding which is accepted by the Lender, or endorsed and

[*] Confidential Treatment Requested

27

held at maturity by the Lender, pay to the Lender an amount equal to the Face Value Amount of the Bill.

If all or part of a Bill Funding is to be redrawn on the last day of its Funding Period, then on that day the only amount that must be paid or made available by the Lender or the Borrowers, as the case may be depending on the amount of the Bill Funding, is the difference between:

the amount which the Borrowers are required to pay to the Lender in respect of Bills maturing on that day under clause 6.15(a) and 6.15(d) plus any amount the Borrowers are required to pay on that date under clauses 6.9(b)(4) and 6.9(b)(5); and

any Net Bill Proceeds (excluding the amount payable under clause 6.9(b)(6)) which the Lender is required to pay or make available to the Borrower in respect of replacement Bills on that day under clause 6.9.

Clause 6.9(b) applies to clause 6.15(b) only to the extent specified in clause 6.15(b).

In respect of a Bill endorsed by the Lender and held by a third party at maturity the Borrower of the relevant Bill Funding must:

on the maturity date immediately notify the Lender when the Borrower discharges that Bill; and

if demand is made on the Lender as endorser of the Bill immediately on demand pay to the Lender an amount equal to the Face Value Amount of the Bill.

If, on the maturity date for a Bill comprised in a Bill Funding, a Borrower has not paid any amount payable to the Lender in accordance with clauses 6.15(a), 6.15(b) or 6.15(d), each Borrower irrevocably authorises and appoints the Lender and each Authorised Officer of the Lender as its attorney to prepare and execute for and on behalf of, and in the name of, any Borrower and to complete all Bills required by a Borrower for a Bill Funding, as in the opinion of the Lender are necessary and in such amounts as are sufficient to result in Net Bill Proceeds of an amount equal to the amount of any such payment otherwise payable to the Lender under clauses 6.15(a), 6.15(b) or 6.15(d).

Each Borrower must ratify and confirm anything done or caused to be done by its attorney pursuant to the power and authority granted by it under clause 6.15(e).

Acknowledgment regarding signed Bills

The Borrowers acknowledge that if the Lender, without actual notice to the contrary, relies on Bills which appear to have genuine signatures of Authorised Officers of a Borrower, the Lender has no further duty to enquire as to the signatory’s authority or any other matters in connection with execution of the Bill and the indemnity in clause 6.12 will not be affected by any lack of authority, fraud or forgery by any person (other than the Lender or its employees).

The liability of the Borrowers under clause 7.9(a) in respect of any Credit Support Document is a continuing obligation and only ceases upon the Borrower paying to the Lender all amounts required to be paid under this agreement in respect of the Credit Support Document.

Early expiration or reduction

The Borrowers may agree with a Beneficiary to vary a Credit Support Document so that:

the Credit Support Document will expire on a date before the Expiry Date; or

the Face Value Amount of the Credit Support Document is reduced,

or both, but the agreement is not binding upon the Lender in any case unless the Lender has given its prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

except in the case of Bank Guarantees, the Beneficiary’s bank has notified the Lender that it agrees to the proposed variation; and

Sims has requested the Lender to re-issue a replacement Credit Support Document incorporating the proposed variation,

any claim or purported claim for payment under a Credit Support Document; or

anything done by any person who is or claims to be entitled to the benefit of a Credit Support Document,
