Dispute Settlement Procedures Principles
a) This procedure is designed to promote the resolution of issues that arise at the lowest possible level and to provide a step-by-step process which will be accessed if the parties are genuinely unable to resolve the issue.
b) At each step in the procedure, reasonable time is to be allowed for the parties to resolve the matter. The parties agree not to proceed to each next step in the procedure until the previous step has been completed. Following these procedures will ensure the dispute is resolved in the most efficient manner.
c) In the event of a dispute in relation to a matter arising under this agreement, in the first instance the parties will attempt to resolve the matter at the workplace by discussions between the employee or employees concerned and the relevant supervisor and, if such discussions do not resolve the dispute, by discussions between the employee or employees concerned and more senior levels of management as appropriate. If the matter is not resolved at this level, the grievance shall be referred to the designated management representative.
d) Should the matter remain unresolved at this level, the Employee, at his/her discretion, may nominate a representative to meet with the Supervisor, the designated manager,and the Consultative Committee to resolve the issue.
e) A party to the dispute may appoint another person, organisation or association to accompany or represent them in relation to the dispute.
f) If a dispute in relation to a matter arising under the agreement is unable to be resolved at the workplace, and all agreed steps for resolving it have been taken, the dispute may be referred to the Australian Industrial Relations Commission (the Commission) for resolution by mediation and/or conciliation. Any solution proposed by the Commission or another third party must be consistent with the Construction Code and Guidelines and relevant legislation.
g) It is a term of this agreement that while the dispute resolution procedure is being conducted work shall continue normally. The circumstances that applied prior to the dispute arising shall apply until final resolution of the matter.
h) Any dispute referred to the Commission under this clause should be dealt with by a member agreed by the parties at the time or, in default of agreement, a member nominated by either the head of the relevant panel or the President.
i) This dispute resolution procedure does not apply to Occupational Health and Safety matters. It is expected that the Occupational Health and Safety Representatives will follow appropriate procedures in the resolution of any Health and Safety matters.

Procedures for Third Party Claims In the case of any claim for indemnification arising from a claim of a third-party other than an Infringement Claim subject to Section 13.3 above (a “Third-Party Claim”), a party seeking indemnification hereunder (each an “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt written notice, following such Indemnified Party’s receipt of such claim or demand, to the party from which indemnity is sought (each an “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim or demand of which such Indemnified Party has knowledge and as to which it may request indemnification hereunder; provided, however, that failure to give such notice will not affect such Indemnified Party’s rights hereunder unless, and then solely to the extent that, the rights of the Indemnifying Parties from whom indemnity is sought are prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right (and if it elects to exercise such right, shall do so within twenty (20) days after receiving such notice from the Indemnified Party) to defend and to direct the defense against any such claim or demand, in its name or in the name of the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, and with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume control of the defense of such action only if the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its indemnity obligations and assumes and holds the Indemnified Party harmless from and against all Losses resulting from such Third-Party Claim; and provided further that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense if (i) the Indemnifying Party shall not have notified the Indemnified Party of its exercise of its right to defend such Third-Party claim within such twenty (20) day period; (ii) such claim or demand seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, (iii) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that (x) there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in the conduct of the defense of such claim or demand or (y) the Indemnified Party has one or more defenses not available to the Indemnifying Party, (iv) such claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, or (v) the appropriate court rules that the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Indemnified Party shall, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, cooperate with the Indemnifying Party, and keep the Indemnifying Party fully informed, in the defense of such claim or demand. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any claim or demand with counsel employed at its own expense; provided, however, that, in the case of any claim or demand described in clause (i) or (ii) of the second preceding sentence or as to which the Indemnifying Party shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such claim or demand, the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have no indemnification obligations with respect to any such claim or demand which shall be settled by the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned if such settlement is accompanied by a document releasing the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect to the matter in controversy that is binding, valid and enforceable against all applicable Parties). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnified Party fails to object to the settlement within five (5) Business Days of receipt of a written notice from the Indemnifying Party containing the terms and condition of such settlement, the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to have consented to the settlement.
Procedures for Surrender (i) As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time (but in no event later than three (3) Business Days thereafter), Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail or otherwise provide each holder of record of Eligible Common Shares that are (A) Certificates or (B) Book-Entry Shares not held, directly or indirectly, through DTC notice advising such holders of the effectiveness of the Merger, which notice shall include (1) appropriate transmittal materials (including a customary letter of transmittal) specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates or such Book-Entry Shares shall pass only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates, as provided in Section 4.2(f)) or the surrender of such Book-Entry Shares to the Paying Agent (which shall be deemed to have been effected upon the delivery of a customary “agent’s message” with respect to such Book-Entry Shares or such other reasonable evidence, if any, of such surrender as the Paying Agent may reasonably request pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Paying Agent Agreement), as applicable (such materials to be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably agree), and (2) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates, as provided in Section 4.2(f)) or such Book-Entry Shares to the Paying Agent in exchange for the Per Share Common Stock Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive as a result of the Merger pursuant to this Article IV.
(ii) With respect to Book-Entry Shares held, directly or indirectly, through DTC, Parent and the Company shall cooperate to establish procedures with the Paying Agent, DTC, DTC’s nominees and such other necessary or desirable third-party intermediaries to ensure that the Paying Agent shall transmit to DTC or its nominees as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, upon surrender of Eligible Common Shares held of record by DTC or its nominees in accordance with DTC’s customary surrender procedures and such other procedures as agreed by Parent, the Company, the Paying Agent, DTC, DTC’s nominees and such other necessary or desirable third-party intermediaries, the Per Share Common Stock Merger Consideration to which the beneficial owners thereof are entitled to receive as a result of the Merger pursuant to this Article IV.

(iv) In the event of a transfer of ownership of any Certificate that is not registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company or if the consideration payable is to be paid in a name other than that in which the Certificate or Certificates surrendered or transferred in exchange therefor are registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company, a check for any cash to be exchanged upon due surrender of any such Certificate or Certificates may be issued to such a transferee if the Certificate or Certificates is or are (as applicable) properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for surrender and presented to the Paying Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable Transfer Taxes have been paid or are not applicable, in each case, in form and substance, reasonably satisfactory to Parent and the Paying Agent. Payment of the Per Share Common Stock Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company.
(v) For the avoidance of doubt, no interest shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of any holder of Eligible Common Shares on any amount payable upon the surrender of any Eligible Common Shares.
Dispute Procedure (1) Unless otherwise provided in the Council's Constitution or in this Collective Agreement, any dispute within the registered scope of the Council shall be resolved as set out below:

(b) The Council shall, from time to time, adopt, by resolution, guidelines for the General Secretary of the Council to follow in the allocation of such disputes.
(c) When any dispute is allocated to a Regional Chamber in terms of this clause, then such Regional Chamber shall have the same rights, powers and obligations as the Council.
Procedures for Advances (a) In the case of the making of any Advance, the repayment of any Advance, or any termination, increase or reduction of the Facility Amount and prepayments of Advances, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent a Borrower Notice. Each Borrower Notice shall specify the amount (subject to Section 2.1 hereof) of Advances to be borrowed or repaid and the Funding Date or repayment date (which, in all cases, shall be a Business Day) and whether such Advance is a Revolver Advance or a Swing Advance.
(b) Subject to the conditions described in Section 2.1, the Borrower may request an Advance from the Lenders by delivering to the Administrative Agent at certain times the information and documents set forth in this Section 2.2.
(c) No later than 12:00 noon (New York, New York time) five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed Funding Date for a Revolver Advance (or such shorter period of time or later date as may be agreed to by the Required Lenders), the Borrower shall notify (i) the Collateral Custodian by delivery to the Collateral Custodian of written notice of such proposed Funding Date, and (ii) the Administrative Agent by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a credit report and transaction summary for each Loan that is the subject of the proposed Advance setting forth the credit underwriting by the Originator of such Loan, including without limitation a description of the Obligor and the proposed loan transaction in the form of Exhibit M hereto; provided that, in the case of Advances funding Revolver Loans, the requirements of this Section 2.2(c) shall apply only with respect to the first Advance to be made with respect to each such Revolver Loan. By 5:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) on the next Business Day, the Administrative Agent shall use its best efforts to confirm to the Borrower the receipt of such items and whether it has reviewed such items and found them to be complete and in proper form. If the Administrative Agent makes a determination that the items are incomplete or not in proper form, it will communicate such determination to the Borrower. Failure by the Administrative Agent to respond to the Borrower by 5:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) on the day the related Funding Request is delivered by the Borrower shall constitute an implied determination that the items are incomplete or not in proper form. The Borrower will take such steps requested by the Administrative Agent to correct the problem(s). In the event of a delay in the actual Funding Date due to the need to correct any such problems, the Funding Date shall be no earlier than two (2) Business Days after the day on which the Administrative Agent confirms to the Borrower that the problems have been corrected.

(i) a Funding Request in the form of Exhibit A;
(ii) a wire disbursement and authorization form shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent; and
(iii) a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit H concerning the Collateral Custodian’s receipt of certain documentation relating to the Eligible Loan(s) related to such Advance shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent, which may be delivered either as a separate document or incorporated in the Monthly Report. Each Funding Request for a Revolver Advance shall specify the aggregate amount of the requested Advance, which shall be in an amount equal to at least $500,000.
(e) No later than 12:00 noon (New York, New York time) on the Business Day proposed for a Swing Advance, the Administrative Agent shall receive or shall have previously received the following:
(i) a Funding Request in the form of Exhibit A; and
(ii) a wire disbursement and authorization form.
(f) Each Funding Request shall be accompanied by (i) a Borrower Notice, depicting the outstanding amount of Advances under this Agreement and representing that all conditions precedent for a funding have been met, including a representation by the Borrower that the requested Advance shall not, on the Funding Date thereof, exceed the Availability on such day, (ii) a calculation of the Borrowing Base as of the applicable Funding Date (which calculation may, for avoidance of doubt, take into account (A) Loans which will become Transferred Loans on or prior to such Funding Date and (B) an updated Loan List including each Loan that is subject to the requested Advance, (C) the proposed Funding Date, and (D) wire transfer instructions for the Advance; provided, however, the Funding Request for a Swing Advance shall be required to contain only the information described in Section 2.2(e)(i) and (ii) above. A Funding Request shall be irrevocable when delivered; provided however, that if the Borrowing Base calculation delivered pursuant to clause (ii) above includes a Loan which does not become a Transferred Loan on or before the applicable Funding Date as anticipated, and the Borrower cannot otherwise make the representations required pursuant to clause (i) above, the Borrower shall revise the Funding Request accordingly, and shall pay any loss, cost or expense incurred by any Lender in connection with the broken funding evidenced by such revised Funding Request.
(g) On the Funding Date following the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in this Section 2.2 and Article III, the Lenders shall make available to the Administrative Agent at its address listed beneath its signature on its signature page to this Agreement (or on the signature page to the Joinder Agreement pursuant to which it became a party hereto), for deposit to the account of the Borrower or its designee in same day funds, at the account specified in the Funding Request, an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share of the Advance then being made (except that in the case of a Swing Advance, the Swingline Lender will make available to the Borrower the amount of any such Swing Advance). Each wire transfer of an Advance to the Borrower shall be initiated by the applicable Lender no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) on the applicable Funding Date.
Procedures for Actions and Consents of Partners The actions requiring Consent of any Partner or Partners pursuant to this Agreement, including Section 7.3 hereof, or otherwise pursuant to applicable law, are subject to the procedures set forth in this Article 14.
DISPUTE SETTLEMENT PROCEDURE A major objective of this Agreement is to eliminate lost time and/or production arising out of disputes or grievances. Disputes over any work related or industrial matter should be dealt with as close to its source as possible. Disputes over matters arising from this agreement shall be dealt with according to the following procedure. An employee or the union delegate or site xxxxxxx or Enterprise should initially submit any work related grievance and/or industrial matter to the site foreperson, supervisor or other appropriate site representative of the company or appropriate site union representative as relevant. If the matter remains unresolved the union delegate or site xxxxxxx may then submit the matter to the appropriate senior management person. Where relevant the Enterprise may submit the matter to a union official. If still not resolved the delegate or site xxxxxxx shall refer the matter to an appropriate official of the union, who shall discuss the matter with the nominated representative of the Enterprise. If still not resolved there may be discussions between the state secretary and senior management representative. Whilst the above procedures are being followed work should continue as normal. This procedure is to be followed in good faith and without unreasonable delay by any party. Should the matter remain unresolved and where the issue is within the jurisdiction of the Victorian Building Industry Disputes Board (“the Board”), either of the parties shall refer the dispute at first instance to the Board (which shall deal with the dispute in accordance with VBIA procedures and, where required, determine issues of jurisdiction). The Board’s decision will be accepted by all parties subject to the right of either party to refer the dispute to the Australian Industrial Relations Commission for conciliation and if required arbitration. The Commission’s decision will be accepted by all parties subject to legal rights of appeal. This dispute settlement procedure does not apply to health and safety issues or issues of industry, state or national significance.
