9. MARKET DISTURBANCE AND REVIEW OF FACILITIES

9.1 Disturbance Notice

A Financier may give a notice in respect of the Cash Advance Facility (a Disturbance Notice) to the Parent at any time (Disturbance Notice Date) if the Financier forms the view that market conditions in the relevant financial market for the currency concerned are seriously disturbed, including without limitation as a result of the conditions described in this clause 9 (Market Disturbance).

9.2 Market Disturbance Premium

If a Financier gives a Disturbance Notice as a result of circumstances where, in the Financier’s opinion:

(a) adequate and fair means are not available for fixing the Base Rate in respect of AUD or any Approved Foreign Currency, or

(b) the cost to the Financier of obtaining deposits in the relevant financial market or other funds to fund an Advance exceeds the Base Rate,

the Financier will, in the Disturbance Notice, notify the Parent of the rate at which the Financier (acting commercially and in good faith) will charge a premium to be added to the Base Rate in respect of Funding Periods for each Advance which commences on or after the Disturbance Notice Date, which rate will be the rate that reflects the Financier’s cost of funding the advances from whatever sources it may reasonably select. The rate must be expressed as a percentage rate per annum and be rounded up to the nearest fourth decimal place (Market Disturbance Premium).

At the beginning of each calendar quarter that commences after the Disturbance Notice Date, the Financier may amend the Market Disturbance Premium that applies to new Advances advanced on or after the beginning of that calendar quarter or, in the case of existing Advances, to new Funding Periods commencing on or after the beginning of that calendar quarter.

Portions of the Market Disturbance Premium may differ for each Funding Period for an Advance and also according to which currency that advance may be made. Despite this, the relevant Financier need not inform any Obligor which portions of the Market Disturbance Premium relate to particular Advances, particular Funding Periods for an Advance, particular currencies for an Advance or any other factor when notifying the Parent of that Market Disturbance Premium for the Cash Advance Facility. The Financier is not required to give the Parent calculations showing how the Market Disruption Premium has been ascertained, nor is required to provide details of its business or tax affairs.

The Parent agrees to pay the Market Disturbance Premium on all Advances and in respect of each Funding Period for those Advances on the relevant Interest Payment Dates during a Funding Period for that Advance provided that the Market Disturbance Premium that is to apply is advised to the Parent prior to the drawdown for that Advance or the commencement of a new Funding Period.

The relevant Financier will promptly notify the Parent once it determines the circumstances requiring a Market Disturbance Premium have ceased to exist. From the time of such notice, no Market Disturbance Premium for new Advances or new Funding Periods will be payable unless a further Disturbance Notice is delivered to the Parent.

Amended and Restated Multi Option Facility Agreement     33

9.3 Alternative Arrangements

If a Financier gives a Disturbance Notice as a result of circumstances where, in the Financier’s opinion:

(a) because of national or international financial, political or economic circumstances or exchange rates or exchange controls it is impractical for it to fund or continue to fund an Advance for the Funding Period; or

(b) deposits in the currency concerned are not available in the ordinary course of business to the Financier in the relevant financial market, and the Disturbance Notice relates to an Advance which has not been made,

then the Financier’s obligations to make the Advance shall be suspended while it and the Parent negotiate alternative arrangements. If they reach agreement within 30 days, those alternative arrangements will apply. If they do not reach agreement within that period, the Financier will be released from its obligations to make the Advance.

9.4 Alternative Basis

If the Disturbance Notice given under clause 9.3 relates to an Advance which has been made, the Financier will maintain the Advance, and will within 30 days after giving the Disturbance Notice notify the Parent of an alternative basis (Alternative Basis) for maintaining the Advance.

The Parent will comply with the Alternative Basis. The Financier and the Parent will consult monthly while the Alternative Basis is in force, and if the circumstances which justified the establishment of the Alternative Basis cease to apply, the Financier will revoke the Alternative Basis as promptly as practicable.

An Alternative Basis may include, in the Financier’s absolute discretion:

(a) alternative currencies;

(b) alternative Funding Periods; or

(c) alternative methods of fixing the interest rate.

9.5 Review of Facilities

(a) Without prejudice to the rights of the Financiers under the Transaction Documents, the Financiers may conduct an annual review of their respective participation under this Agreement, such review to occur on or around 1 November of each year (or such other time as the Financiers notify the Parent in writing).

(b) Following any annual review conducted in accordance with clause 9.5(a) above, the Financiers may (in their sole and absolute discretion) propose changes to the Margin, pricing, fees and/or costs that apply to the Facilities by delivering to the Parent a replacement fee letter or fee letters (as applicable) in substantially the form set out in Annexure G (New Fee Letter). Each New Fee Letter shall set out the proposed changes to the Margin, pricing, fees and/or costs that will apply to the Facilities.

(c) The Parent must, by notice in writing to the Financiers within 15 Business Days of the date of issue of the New Fee Letter, either:

(i) accept the New Fee Letter by returning a signed copy of the New Fee Letter to the Financiers, in which case the revised Margin, pricing, fees and/or costs will apply with effect from the date of the New Fee Letter; or

(ii) reject the New Fee Letter.

(d) If the Parent rejects the New Fee Letter in accordance with clause 9.5(c) above:

(i) the Parent must include with its notice referred to in clause 9.5(c) reasonable details of Parent’s reasons for rejecting the New Fee Letter; and

(ii) the Parent and the Financiers shall, during a period of 20 Business Days commencing on the date of issue of the New Fee Letter (Negotiation Period), enter into negotiations with respect to whether there will be any change to the Margin, pricing, fees and/or costs that applies to the Facilities as at the date of the New Fee Letter.

(e) If the Financiers and the Parent reach agreement on the terms of the New Fee Letter before the end of the Negotiation Period, the Financiers will deliver to the Parent a revised fee letter or fee letters (as applicable) in substantially the same form as set out in Annexure G which set out the revised Margin, pricing, fees and/or costs that will apply to the Facilities. The revised Margin, pricing, fees and/or costs set out in such revised fee letter or fee letters (as applicable) will apply with effect from the date of the relevant revised fee letter or fee letters (as applicable).

(f) If the Financiers and the Parent do not reach agreement on the terms of the New Fee Letter before the end of the Negotiation Period, the Financiers reserve the right to take such action in respect of the Facilities as it is entitled to take under this Agreement.

(g) Nothing in this clause 9.5 limits the rights of the Financiers to cancel a Facility or to require repayment of the Amount Owing if it were otherwise entitled to do so under this Agreement, including without limitation during the negotiations referred to in clause 9.5(e) above.

Parent and the Financiers in accordance with clause 25(c), a Dispute will not be taken to have arisen in relation to the Issue and the provisions of this clause 25 will no longer apply. If the provisions of this clause 25 no longer apply as a result of the failure of either the Parent or the Financiers to give a Notification, the matter or thing asserted by either the Parent or the Financiers which gave rise to the Issue (Contesting Party) will be disregarded and the view of the party other than the Contesting Party will prevail in respect of the issue forming the subject matter of the Issue.

(B) or the appointed expert provides the Parent and the Financiers with written confirmation that the expert is unable to reach a decision in relation to the Dispute,

the provisions of this clause 25 will no longer apply to the Dispute and each of the Parent and the Financiers may:

(C) commence court proceedings; and/or

(D) pursue any other remedies that are available to the relevant party;

in relation to the matter or thing forming the subject matter of the Dispute.

(g) If a Dispute or Issue first arises prior to the end of a Calculation Period and is not resolved in accordance with this clause 25 by the end of that Calculation Period, the Parent and the Financiers agree to use reasonable endeavours to resolve the Dispute or Issue as soon as possible following the relevant Calculation Date and in any event no later than 30 Business Days following the Parent and the Financiers first becoming aware of the Issue (excluding the date on which both the Parent and the Financiers first become aware of the Issue) (or such other period as agreed to in writing between the Parent and the Financiers).

(h) The Financiers agree that prior to the resolution of the Dispute or Issue in accordance with the provisions of this clause 25, or the termination of the dispute resolution process as contemplated by clause 25(f)(viii), the subject matter of any Dispute or Issue may not be taken into account in determining whether the Parent is in breach of any of the financial undertakings contained in clause 12.3 of this Agreement that require EBITDA to be calculated.
