least 2 Business Days prior to the requested Drawdown Date (or such
later time as the Financier may agree).
(b) The minimum amount of a Drawing is the lesser of:
(i) US$1,000,000; and

not obliged to provide the first drawdown, unless:
6
(a) all the conditions precedent listed in clause 3 ("Conditions
precedent") of the Common Terms Deed Poll have been either satisfied
or waived in accordance with that agreement; and
(b) a completed Facility Nomination Letter nominating this agreement as
a Facility Agreement has been received by the Financier.

4 INTEREST
4.1 INTEREST CHARGES
The Borrower must pay interest on each Drawing for each of its Interest
Periods at the applicable Interest Rate. Interest:
(a) accrues daily from and including the first day of an Interest Period
to but excluding the last day of the Interest Period; and
(b) is payable in arrears on each relevant Interest Payment Date; and
(c) is calculated on actual days elapsed and a year of 360 days.
7
4.2 SELECTION OF INTEREST PERIOD
An Interest Period for a Drawing is:
(a) for the first Interest Period, the period specified in the Drawdown
Notice for that Drawing; and
(b) for each subsequent Interest Period, a period notified in a
Selection Notice given by the Borrower to the Financier on the
Business Day before the last day of the current Interest Period.
However, in each case, the specified period must be one that is set
out in the Details. If the Obligors' Agent does not give correct
notice, the subsequent Interest Period is the same length as the
Interest Period which immediately precedes it (or it is the period
until the Maturity Date, if that is shorter than the preceding
Interest Period).
4.3 WHEN INTEREST PERIODS BEGIN AND END
(a) An Interest Period for a Drawing begins:
(i) for the first Interest Period, on its Drawdown Date; and
(ii) for each subsequent Interest Period, on the day when the
preceding Interest Period for the Drawing ends.
(b) An Interest Period which would otherwise end on a day which is not a
Business Day ends on the next Business Day (unless that day falls in
the following month, in which case the Interest Period ends on the
previous Business Day). However, an Interest Period which would
otherwise end after the Maturity Date ends on the Maturity Date.
(c) If an Interest Period of one or a number of months commences on a
date in a month for which there is no corresponding date in the
month in which the Interest Period is to end, it will end on the
last Business Day of the latter month.
4.4 LIMIT ON INTEREST PERIODS
In selecting Interest Periods under clause 4.2 ("Selection of Interest
Period"), the Obligors' Agent must ensure that there are no more than 5
different Interest Periods at any one time.
4.5 NOTIFICATION OF INTEREST
Interest on a Drawing is payable in immediately available funds.
The Financier will notify the Obligors' Agent of the interest rates
determined under this agreement as soon as they are ascertained. Failure
to do so will not affect the obligations of the Borrower in any way.
4.6 MARKET DISRUPTION
If a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to a Drawing for any
Interest Period, then the Interest Rate on that Drawing for the Interest
Period shall be the rate per annum which is the sum of:
8
(a) the Margin; and
(b) the rate notified by the Financier as soon as practicable and in any
event before interest is due to be paid in respect of that Interest
Period, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum
the cost to the Financier of funding its participation in that
Drawing from whatever source it may reasonably select.
4.7 ALTERNATIVE BASIS OF INTEREST OR FUNDING
(a) If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Financier or the
Borrower so requires, the Financier and the Borrower shall enter
into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty days) with a
view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of
interest.
(b) Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to paragraph (a) above shall,
with the prior consent of the Financier and the Borrower, be binding
on each of them.
5 REPAYING AND PREPAYING
5.1 REPAYMENT
The Borrower agrees to repay the total of the Drawings and all interest
and other amounts (including default interest) which have accrued or which
are otherwise payable (but unpaid) in respect of this agreement on the
Maturity Date.
5.2 EXTENSION OF MATURITY DATE
(a) The Obligors' Agent may, not more than 75 Business Days and not less
than 25 Business Days prior to each Review Date, request in writing
in substantially the form of schedule 3 ("Extension Request") an
extension of the Maturity Date. If the request is accepted, the
Maturity Date will be extended to the date 182 days after the
Maturity Date applicable at the time of the request in respect of a
new Facility Limit of an amount selected by the Borrower and
specified in the request (which amount must not exceed the Facility
Limit applicable at the time of the request).
(b) If the Financier accepts such a request, it agrees to return a
signed copy of the notice referred to in paragraph (a) to the
Obligors' Agent no later than 7 Business Days prior to the relevant
Review Date. Upon the Financier signing the notice, the Maturity
Date is automatically extended to the date specified in that notice.
5.3 PREPAYMENT
The Borrower may prepay all or part of a Drawing as follows:
(a) if only part of a Drawing is prepaid, it must be at least
US$1,000,000 and a whole multiple of US$500,000, or such lesser
amount as may be agreed by the Financier (at its discretion) from
time to time; and
9
(b) the Borrower must also pay all accrued (but unpaid) interest on that
Drawing; and
(c) the Obligors' Agent must notify the proposed prepayment in writing
to the Financier at least 10 Business Days prior to the date of the
requested prepayment (as at close of business Sydney time) (once
given, a notice of prepayment is irrevocable and the Borrower is
obliged to prepay in accordance with the notice).
If the prepayment is made on an Interest Payment Date for the Drawing to
be prepaid, no Break Costs are payable. However, if the Borrower prepays
on a day other than the Interest Payment Date for the Drawing to be
prepaid and the Financier incurs any Break Costs as a result of such
prepayment, then the Borrower will be liable for Break Costs (if any)
under clause 12 ("Costs and indemnities") of the Common Terms Deed Poll.
5.4 PREPAYMENT AND THE FACILITY LIMIT
The Facility Limit is not reduced by amounts prepaid under clause 5.3
("Prepayment").
6 PAYMENTS
6.1 PAYMENT BY DIRECTION
If the Financier directs the Borrower to pay a particular party or in a
particular manner, the Borrower is taken to have satisfied its obligation
to the Financier by paying in accordance with the direction.
6.2 AMOUNT OWING
Subject to the provisions of any Financing Document, the Borrower agrees
to repay the Amount Owing on the Maturity Date under this agreement.
6.3 APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS - PRE-DEFAULT
Prior to an Event of Default, the Financier will apply amounts paid by the
Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Financing Documents.
6.4 APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS - POST-DEFAULT
If an Event of Default subsists, the Financier may apply amounts paid by
the Borrower towards satisfaction of the Borrower's obligations under the
Financing Documents in the manner it sees fit, unless the Financing
Documents expressly provide otherwise. This appropriation overrides any
purported appropriation by the Borrower or any other person.
7 CANCELLATION
The Borrower may cancel the Undrawn Facility Limit in whole or in part at
any time during the Availability Period by notifying the Financier in
writing at least 2 Business Days prior to the date the cancellation is to
take effect. A partial
10
cancellation must be at least US$1,000,000, unless the Financier agrees
otherwise. Once given, the notice is irrevocable. The Facility Limit is
reduced by the amount of any cancellation.
The Facility Limit is automatically cancelled at 5:30pm (Sydney time) on
the last day of the Availability Period.
8 FEES
8.1 ESTABLISHMENT FEE
The Borrower agrees to pay on the first Business Day after the date of
this agreement, an establishment fee as set out in the Details.
8.2 COMMITMENT FEE
The Borrower agrees to pay in arrears on each Fee Payment Date, on any
cancellation date described below and on the Maturity Date, the accrued
but unpaid commitment fee as set out in the Details.
If the Borrower cancels any of the Undrawn Facility Limit, it also agrees
to pay on the cancellation date, the commitment fee in respect of the
cancelled amount from (but excluding) the last Fee Payment Date up to and
including the cancellation date.
The commitment fee is calculated on actual days elapsed using a 360 day
year.
9 FINANCIER REPRESENTATION
The Financier represents that it is a duly supervised bank in #11# and
accordingly it is a PMP within the meaning of this agreement as at:
(a) the date of execution of this agreement; and
(b) each date it signs a notice as referred to in clause 5.2 ("Extension
of Maturity Date").
The Borrower acknowledges that in making this representation the Financier
relies on, and has not independently investigated, the definition of PMP
set out in the Common Terms Deed Poll.
10 INTEREST ON OVERDUE AMOUNTS
This clause applies despite the provisions of the Common Terms Deed Poll.
10.1 OBLIGATION TO PAY
If the Borrower does not pay any amount under or in respect of this
agreement (including an amount of interest payable under this clause 10.1)
on the due date for payment, the Borrower must pay interest on that amount
at the Default Rate. The interest accrues daily from (and including) the
due date to (but excluding) the date of actual payment and is calculated
on actual days elapsed and a year of 360 days.
11
The Borrower must pay interest under this clause to the Financier on
demand from the Financier on the last Business Day of each calendar month.
10.2 COMPOUNDING
Interest payable under clause 10.1 ("Obligation to pay") which is not paid
when due for payment may be added to the overdue amount by the Financier
on the last Business Day of each calendar month. Interest is payable on
the increased overdue amount at the Default Rate in the manner set out in
clause 10.1 ("Obligation to pay").
10.3 INTEREST FOLLOWING JUDGMENT
If a liability becomes merged in a judgment, the Borrower must pay
interest on the amount of that liability as an independent obligation.
This interest:
(a) accrues daily from (and including) the date the liability becomes
due for payment both before and after the judgment up to (but
excluding) the date the liability is paid; and
(b) is calculated at the judgment rate or the Default Rate (whichever is
higher).
The Borrower must pay interest under this clause to the Financier on
demand from the Financier.
11 GOVERNING LAW
This agreement is governed by the law in force in New South Wales and the
Borrower submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of that
place.
