(c) | The Lender will indemnify the Borrowers against any liability, loss, cost and expense in relation to the Bills. If a reliquification Xxxx is presented to a Borrower and it pays it, the amount of that payment will be taken to have been applied against the amounts it owes under this Agreement.

Following this review the Lender, at its absolute discretion, may offer to extend its participation under this Agreement to a date falling 12 months after the Existing Termination Date (New Termination Date) by delivering to Sims a signed Renewal Notice attaching a proposed Key Terms Schedule. | ||
(b) | The Lender’s offer contained in any Renewal Notice delivered in accordance with clause 3.6(a) may be subject to any conditions precedent or subsequent as the Lender specifies. | ||

(c) | It will be determined by reference to interest periods selected by the Borrower of the Advance. Each period begins on the Drawdown Date or on the last day of the previous interest period. | ||
(d) | Unless the Lender agrees otherwise, interest periods must be of 7 or 14 days or of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 months. If an interest period would end on a day that is not a Business Day, then it will end on the previous Business Day. | ||
(e) | If an interest period begins on a date for which there is no corresponding date in the month in which it is to end, it will end on the last Business Day of that month. | ||
(f) | The relevant Borrower must select interest periods for Advances so that they do not expire after the Final Termination Date. | ||

5.2 Rollovers
(a) | The Borrower of an Advance will repay it on the last day of its interest period.

(b) | The Borrower of an Advance may switch an Advance from one currency to another at the end of an interest period, but only by repaying the Advance in the first currency and redrawing it in the second currency.

5.3 Repayments and prepayments
(a) | (repayments) The Borrower of each Advance will repay the amount lent in accordance with clause 2.7 (Repayment) of this Agreement, and in any event also repay each Advance at the end of its interest period except to the extent it is being redrawn. | ||

6 EXTERNAL CIRCUMSTANCES
6.1 Available Currency impracticability
If in the Lender’s opinion: |
(a) | there is any change in applicable law or any change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions, currency availability, exchange rates or exchange contracts which make it impractical for a particular Advance to be denominated in the selected Available Currency during an interest period; or |
(b) | any necessary government approval is not obtained, |
then the Lender must notify Sims promptly, |
and: |
(c) | if the relevant Drawdown Notice requested that the Advance be made in Australian dollars if the relevant Available Currency was unavailable, or | ||
(d) | Sims and the Lender agree, |
the Advance will be made in Australian dollars. Otherwise, the Drawdown Notice will be cancelled. |
6.2 Market Disturbance
(a) | The Lender may give a notice (a Disturbance Notice) to Sims at any time before the beginning of an interest period if the Lender forms the view that market conditions in the relevant financial market for the currency concerned are seriously disturbed. |
[*] Confidential Treatment Requested
WESTPAC AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITY AGREEMENT
8
(b) | This includes circumstances where, in the Lender’s opinion, adequate and fair means are not available for fixing the Base Rate, or deposits in the currency concerned are not available in the ordinary course of business to the Lender in the relevant financial market, or the cost to the Lender of obtaining deposits in the relevant financial market exceeds the Base Rate, or because of national or international financial, political or economic circumstances or exchange rates or exchange controls it is impractical for it to fund the Advance for the interest period. | ||
(c) | If a Disturbance Notice relates to an Advance which has not been made, the Lender’s obligations to make the Advance shall be suspended while it and Sims 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 Lender will be released from its obligations to make the Advance. | ||
(d) | If the Disturbance Notice relates to an Advance which has been made, the Lender will maintain the Advance, and will within 30 days after giving the Disturbance Notice notify Sims of an alternative basis for maintaining the Advance. Sims will comply with the alternative basis. The Lender and Sims 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 Lender will revoke the alternative basis as promptly as practicable. | ||
(e) | An alternative basis may be retrospective to the beginning of the relevant interest period, and may include alternative currencies, interest periods or methods of fixing the interest rate. |
7 PAYMENTS AND DEFAULT INTEREST
7.1 Time of payment
Unless otherwise stated, amounts payable under this clause are payable within 2 Business Days of demand. |
7.2 Default interest
Interest will accrue each day on each amount due but unpaid. The Borrowers will pay it on demand. The rate will be 2% per annum plus, for Available Currencies other than Australian dollars, the Lender’s funding rate for making loans in that currency (as determined by the Lender for periods determined by the Lender) from time to time plus the Margin; and for Australian dollars, the Lender’s advertised “reference lending rate” (or any equivalent rate which is substituted for this rate from time to time). That interest accrues before and after any judgment. Unless it does not do so more often the Lender will be taken to have debited monthly the relevant Borrower’s account with accrued interest under this clause 7.2. That interest will then itself bear interest. |
8 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
8.1 Representations and warranties
Each Borrower makes the representations and warranties contained in clause 3 of the Common Terms Deed to the Lender in respect of itself and on behalf of each other Transaction Party (except where the representation and warranty is expressed to apply to Sims only in which case Sims gives the relevant representation and warranty), as if those representations and warranties were set out in full in this clause 8.1. |

The representations and warranties given under this Agreement, including those in this clause 8, survive the execution of each Transaction Document and are repeated on each date representations and warranties are repeated under clause 3.2(b) of the Common Terms Deed with respect to the facts and circumstances then subsisting. |
8.3 Acknowledgment of reliance
Each Borrower acknowledges that the Lender has entered into each Transaction Document in reliance on the representations and warranties given under this Agreement. |
8.4 Additional representations and warranties
The representations and warranties given under this Agreement are in addition to any other representations and warranties in any other Transaction Document. |
8.5 Lender’s representation and warranty
The Lender represents and warrants to the Borrowers that the making of Advances under this Agreement by its Offshore Banking Unit will not have any adverse Tax consequences for the Borrowers. |
9 UNDERTAKINGS

10 EVENTS OF DEFAULT
10.1 Events of Default
(a) | An Event of Default occurs if an “Event of Default” as defined in the Common Terms Deed occurs. |
(b) | If an amount is paid to the Lender to cover an amount contingently owing, the Lender will hold that amount in an interest bearing account until the amount becomes actually owing or ceases to be contingently owing. The Lender will then apply the amount in the account (including interest) in payment of the amount actually owing and return the balance to the relevant Borrower. |
10.2 Incorporation of provisions
Clauses 5.2 to 5.4 (inclusive) of the Common Terms Deed apply to this Agreement as if set out in full in this Agreement and as if references in those clauses to “this deed” were to “this Agreement”. |
10.3 Termination of facilities
