SECTION 5
COSTS OF UTILISATION

11. INTEREST

11.1 Calculation of interest

(a) The rate of interest on each Loan for any day during an Interest Period is the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of the applicable:

(i) Margin; and

(ii) Compounded Reference Rate for that day, except that if that rate is less than zero, the Compounded Reference Rate shall be deemed to be zero.

(b) If any day during an Interest Period for a Loan is not an RFR Banking Day, the rate of interest on that Loan for that day will be the rate applicable to the immediately preceding RFR Banking Day.

11.2 Payment of interest

The Borrower shall pay accrued interest on that Loan on the last day of each Interest Period (and, if the Interest Period is longer than three Months, on the dates falling at three-monthly intervals after the first day of the Interest Period).

page 73

11.3 Default interest

(a) If an Obligor fails to pay any amount payable by it under a Finance Document on its due date, interest shall accrue on the overdue amount from the due date up to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate which, subject to paragraph (b) and (c) below, is the sum of 2 per cent per annum and the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Loan in the currency of the overdue amount for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Agent (acting reasonably). Any interest accruing under this Clause 11.3 shall be immediately payable by the Obligor on demand by the Agent.

(b) If any overdue amount consists of all or part of a Loan which became due on a day which was not the last day of an Interest Period relating to that Loan:

(i) the first Interest Period for that overdue amount shall have a duration equal to the unexpired portion of the current Interest Period relating to that Loan; and

(ii) the rate of interest applying to the overdue amount during that first Interest Period shall be the sum of 2 per cent per annum and the rate which would have applied if the overdue amount had not become due.

(c) If any overdue amount relates in any way to a Letter of Credit, interest shall accrue on the overdue amount from the due date up to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate which, in respect of each Lender, is the sum of:

(i) the cost of funds of each Lender's participation if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a loan denominated in the currency of the relevant Letter of Credit; plus

(ii) 3 per cent per annum; plus

(iii) 2 per cent per annum.

(d) Default interest (if unpaid) arising on an overdue amount will be compounded with the overdue amount at the end of each Interest Period applicable to that overdue amount but will remain immediately due and payable.

11.4 Notification of rates of interest

(a) The Agent shall promptly upon an Interest Payment being determinable notify:

(i) the Borrower of the Interest Payment;

(ii) each relevant Lender of the proportion of that Interest Payment which relates to that Xxxxxx's participation in the relevant Loan; and

(iii) the relevant Lenders and the Borrower of:

(A) each applicable rate of interest relating to the determination of that Interest Payment; and

page 74

(g) A Facility B Loan has one Interest Period only and shall start on the Utilisation Date.

12.2 Non-Business Days

(a) If an Interest Period would otherwise end on a day which is not a Business Day, that Interest Period will instead end on the next Business Day in that calendar month (if there is one) or the preceding Business Day (if there is not).

(b) If there are rules specified as 'Business Day Conventions' in the Compounded Rate Terms, those rules shall apply to each Interest Period for that Loan.

page 75

12.3 Consolidation of Facility A Loans

13. CHANGES TO THE CALCULATION OF INTEREST

13.1 Interest calculation if no RFR or Central Bank Rate

If:

(a) a Market Disruption Rate is specified in the Compounded Rate Terms; and

(b) before the Reporting Time, the Agent receives notifications from a Lender or Lenders (whose participations in a Loan exceed 40 per cent. of that Loan) that the cost to it of funding its participation in that Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select would be in excess of that Market Disruption Rate,

then Clause 13.3 (Cost of funds) shall apply to that Loan for the relevant Interest Period.

13.3 Cost of funds

(a) If this Clause 13.3 applies to a Loan for an Interest Period, the rate of interest on each relevant Lender's share of the relevant Loan for the relevant Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of:

(i) the Margin; and

(ii) the weighted average of the rates notified to the Agent by each relevant Lender as soon as practicable and in any event by the Reporting Time, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to the relevant Lender of funding its participation in that Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select.

page 76

(b) If this Clause 13.3 applies and the Agent or the Borrower so requires, the Agent and the Borrower shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than 30 days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest.

the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in that Loan for that Interest Period shall be deemed, for the purposes of paragraph (a) above, to be the Market Disruption Rate for that Loan.

(e) Subject to paragraph (d) above if this Clause 13.3 applies but any Lender does not supply a quotation by the Reporting Time the rate of interest shall be calculated on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Lenders.

(f) If this Clause 13.3 applies the Agent shall, as soon as is practicable, notify the Borrower.

20.5 Immediate recourse

Each Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring any Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from that Guarantor under this Clause 20. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document to the contrary.

20.6 Appropriations

Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full, each Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) may:

(b) without limiting paragraph (a), refrain from applying any moneys received or recovered (by set off or otherwise) from any Guarantor or on account of any Guarantor's liability under this Clause 20 in discharge of that liability or any other liability of an Obligor and claim or prove against anyone in respect of the full amount owing by the Obligors.

20.7 Deferral of Guarantors' rights

Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full and unless the Agent otherwise directs, no Guarantor will exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under the Finance Documents or by reason of any amount being payable, or liability arising, under this Clause 20:

(a) to be indemnified by an Obligor;

(b) to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of or provider of security for any Obligor's obligations under the Finance Documents;

(c) to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Finance Parties under the Finance Documents or of any other guarantee or security taken under, or in connection with, the Finance Documents by any Finance Party;

page 89

(d) to bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring any Obligor to make any payment, or perform any obligation, in respect of which any Guarantor has given a Guarantee under Clause 20.1 (Guarantee);

(e) to exercise any right of set-off against any Obligor;

(f) to claim or prove as a creditor of any Obligor in competition with any Finance Party; and/or

(g) in any form of administration of an Obligor (including liquidation, winding up, bankruptcy, voluntary administration, dissolution or receivership or any analogous process) prove for or claim, or exercise any vote or other rights in respect of, any indebtedness of any nature owed to it by the Obligor.

If a Guarantor receives any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to such rights it shall hold that benefit, payment or distribution to the extent necessary to enable all amounts which may be or become payable to the Finance Parties by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents to be repaid in full on trust for the Finance Parties and shall promptly pay or transfer the same to the Agent or as the Agent may direct for application in accordance with Clause 36 (Payment Mechanics).

20.8 Release of Guarantors' right of contribution

If any Guarantor (a "Retiring Guarantor") ceases to be a Guarantor in accordance with the Finance Documents for the purpose of any sale or other disposal of that Retiring Guarantor then on the date such Retiring Guarantor ceases to be a Guarantor:

(a) that Retiring Guarantor is released by each other Guarantor from any liability (whether past, present or future and whether actual or contingent) to make a contribution to any other Guarantor arising by reason of the performance by any other Guarantor of its obligations under the Finance Documents; and

(b) each other Guarantor waives any rights it may have by reason of the performance of its obligations under the Finance Documents to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Finance Parties under any Finance Document or of any other security taken under, or in connection with, any Finance Document where such rights or security are granted by or in relation to the assets of the Retiring Guarantor.

20.9 Additional security

This Guarantee is in addition to and is not in any way prejudiced by any other guarantee or security now or subsequently held by any Finance Party.

20.10 Specific waiver of customary law rights

Without limitation to the preceding and without prejudice to the generality of any waiver granted in the Finance Documents, each Obligor irrevocably and unconditionally abandons and waives any right which it may have at any time under the existing or future laws of Jersey:

page 90

(a) whether by virtue of the droit de discussion or otherwise to require that recourse be had to the assets of any other person before any claim is enforced against the Obligor in respect of the obligations or liabilities assumed by the Obligor under any document, including without limitation under any Finance Document; and

(b) whether by virtue of the droit de division or otherwise to require that any liability under any document, including without limitation any Finance Document, be divided or apportioned with any other person or reduced in any manner whatsoever.

SECTION 9

CHANGES TO PARTIES

29. CHANGES TO THE LENDERS

29.1 Assignments and novations by the Lenders

(a) Subject to this Clause 29, a Lender (the "Existing Lender") may:

(i) assign any of its rights; or

(ii) novate any of its rights and obligations,

under the Finance Documents to another bank or financial institution or to a trust, fund or other entity which is regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of making, purchasing or investing in loans, securities or other financial assets (including credit derivatives) (the "New Lender"), so long as there will be at least two Lenders after doing so.

(b) In addition, a person may accede to this Agreement and the other Finance Documents as a Lender for Facility C under a form of document agreed between the Agent (acting on the instructions of all Lenders) and the Borrower. Only the Borrower (in its own capacity and as agent for the Obligors under clause 1.5) and the Agent (as agent for the other parties) need be a party to that agreement. On execution of that agreement by the acceding person and the Agent, the acceding person will be the Facility C Lender under this Agreement.

29.2 Conditions of assignment or novation

(a) The consent of the Borrower is required for an assignment or novation by an Existing Lender, unless the assignment or novation is:

(i) to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender;

(ii) if the Lender is a fund, to a fund which is a Related Fund of the Lender; or

(iii) made at a time when an Event of Default is continuing; or

(iv) to a securitisation or funding vehicle where the Lender remains lender of record and retains voting rights.

(b) The consent of the Borrower to an assignment or novation must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed or subject to unreasonable conditions. The Borrower will be deemed to have given its consent five Business Days after the Existing Xxxxxx has requested it unless consent is expressly refused by the Borrower within that time.

(c) A Lender shall not assign or novate rights to a person whom the officers of the relevant Existing Lender involved on a day to day basis in the administration of the Facility know to be an Offshore Associate of the Borrower.

page 140

(d) Other than an assignment where the Lender remains lender of record, an assignment will only be effective:

(i) if the procedure set out in Clause 29.6 (Procedure for assignment) is complied with;

(ii) on receipt by the Agent (whether in the Assignment Agreement or otherwise) of written confirmation from the New Lender (in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent) that the New Lender will assume the same obligations to the other Finance Parties and the other Beneficiaries as it would have been under if it was an Original Lender;

(iii) on performance by the Agent of all necessary "know your customer" or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to such assignment to a New Lender, the completion of which the Agent shall promptly notify to the Existing Lender and the New Lender; and

(iv) on receipt by the Agent of confirmation from the Security Trustee that the Security Trustee has performed all necessary "know your customer" or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to such assignment to a New Lender (the receipt of which the Agent shall promptly notify to the Existing Lender and the New Lender) and the New Lender has become bound by a relevant Recognition Certificate.

(e) A novation will only be effective:

(i) if the procedure set out in Clause 29.5 (Procedure for novation) is complied with;

(ii) on performance by the Agent of all necessary "know your customer" or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to such novation to a New Lender, the completion of which the Agent shall promptly notify to the Existing Lender and the New Lender; and

(iii) on receipt by the Agent of confirmation from the Security Trustee that the Security Trustee has performed all necessary "know your customer" or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to such novation to a New Lender (the receipt of which the Agent shall promptly notify to the Existing Lender and the New Lender) and the New Lender has become bound by a relevant Recognition Certificate.

(f) If:

(i) a Lender assigns or novates any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents or changes its Facility Office; and

(ii) as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, novation or change occurs, an Obligor would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office under Clause 15 (Tax Gross-Up and Indemnities) or Clause 16 (Increased Costs),

page 141

then the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office is only entitled to receive payment under those Clauses to the same extent as the Existing Lender or Lender acting through its previous Facility Office would have been if the assignment, novation or change had not occurred. This paragraph (f) shall not apply:

(iii) in respect of an assignment or novation made in the ordinary course of the primary syndication of the Facilities; or

(iv) where the payment is in relation to Australian Withholding Tax and there are at least two Lenders after the assignment, novation or change, and the New Lender, or Lender acting through its new Facility Office, is not an Offshore Associate of the Borrower. In such instances, the New Lender, or Lender acting through its new Facility Office will be entitled to full payment under Clause 15 (Tax Gross-Up and Indemnities).

(g) Each New Lender, by executing the relevant Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement, confirms that the Agent has authority to execute on its behalf any amendment or waiver that has been approved by or on behalf of the requisite Lender or Lenders in accordance with this Agreement on or before the date on which the novation or assignment becomes effective in accordance with this Agreement and that it is bound by that decision to the same extent as the Existing Lender would have been had it remained a Lender.

(h) A Lender may not assign or novate any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents or change its Facility Office, if the New Lender or the Lender acting through its new Facility Office would be entitled to exercise any rights under Clause 9.1 (Illegality) as a result of circumstances existing as at the date the assignment, novation or change is proposed to occur.

29.3 Assignment or novation fee

The New Lender shall, on the date upon which an assignment or novation takes effect, pay to the Agent (for its own account) a fee of USD$5,000.

29.4 Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders

(ii) the financial condition of any Obligor or any other person;

(iii) the performance and observance by any Obligor or any other person of its obligations under the Finance Documents or any other documents; or

page 142

(iv) the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any Finance Document or any other document,

and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.

(b) Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender, the other Finance Parties and the Beneficiaries that it:

(i) has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of each Obligor and its related entities and any other person in connection with its participation in this Agreement and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the Existing Lender in connection with any Finance Document; and

(ii) will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Obligor and its related entities and any other person whilst any amount is or may be outstanding under the Finance Documents or any Commitment is in force.

(c) Nothing in any Finance Document obliges an Existing Lender to:

(i) accept a novation or re-assignment from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or novated under this Clause 29; or

(ii) support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by any Obligor or any other person of its obligations under the Finance Documents or otherwise.

29.5 Procedure for novation

(a) Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 29.2 (Conditions of assignment or novation) a novation is effected in accordance with paragraph (e) below when the Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender. The Agent shall, subject to paragraphs (b) and (c) below, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Transfer Certificate appearing on its face to comply with this Agreement and delivered in accordance with this Agreement, execute that Transfer Certificate.

(b) The Agent shall only be obliged to execute a Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender once it is satisfied it has complied with all necessary "know your customer" or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the transfer to such New Lender.

(c) The Agent may refrain from executing a Transfer Certificate pending satisfaction of Clause 29.2(d)(iii) and acting reasonably, may delay executing a Transfer Certificate pending a payment, distribution or Utilisation under or in respect of the Finance Documents.

(d) Each Party other than the Existing Lender irrevocably authorises the Agent to execute any Transfer Certificate on its behalf.

page 143

(e) Subject to Clause 29.9 (Pro rata interest settlement), on the Transfer Date:

(i) to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the Existing Lender seeks to novate its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents each of the Obligors and the Existing Lender shall be released from further obligations towards one another under the Finance Documents and their respective rights against one another under the Finance Documents shall be cancelled (being the "Discharged Rights and Obligations");

(ii) each of the Obligors and the New Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another which differ from the Discharged Rights and Obligations only insofar as that Obligor and the New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of that Obligor and the Existing Lender;

(iii) the Agent, the Arranger, the New Lender and other Lenders shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had the New Lender been an Original Lender with the rights and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the novation and to that extent the Agent, the Arranger and the Existing Lender shall each be released from further obligations to each other under the Finance Documents;

(iv) the New Lender shall become a Party as a "Lender" and entitled to the benefits of any other document entered into by the Agent as agent for the Lenders and will be bound by obligations equivalent to the obligations from which the Existing Lender is released under subparagraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) above; and

(v) for the purposes of this Agreement, Commitments, participations in Loans and rights and obligations will be taken to have been transferred under a Transfer Certificate even though it operates as a novation and Commitments, participations in Loans and rights and obligations are replaced rather than transferred.

(d) Lenders may utilise procedures other than those set out in this Clause 29.6 to assign (including by equitable assignment) their rights under the Finance Documents (but not, without the consent of the relevant Obligor or otherwise in accordance with Clause 29.5 (Procedure for novation), to obtain a release by that Obligor from the obligations owed to that Obligor by the Lenders nor the assumption of equivalent obligations by a New Lender) so long as they comply with the conditions set out in Clause 29.2 (Conditions of assignment or novation).

29.7 Copy of Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement to Borrower

The Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after it has executed a Transfer Certificate or an Assignment Agreement, send to the Borrower a copy of that Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement.

29.8 Security over Lenders' rights

In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders under this Clause 29, each Lender may without consulting with or obtaining consent from any Obligor, at any time charge, assign or otherwise create Security in or over (whether by way of collateral or otherwise) all or any of its rights under any Finance Document to secure obligations of that Lender including:

(a) any charge, assignment or other Security to secure obligations to a federal reserve or central bank; and

(b) any charge, assignment or other Security granted to any holders (or trustee or representatives of holders) of obligations owed, or securities issued, by that Lender as security for those obligations or securities,

(i) any interest or fees in respect of the relevant participation which are expressed to accrue by reference to the lapse of time shall continue to accrue in favour of the Existing Lender up to but excluding the Transfer Date ("Accrued Amounts") and shall become due and payable to the Existing Lender (without further interest accruing on them) on the last day of the current Interest Period (or, if the Interest Period is longer than six Months, on the next of the dates which falls at six Monthly intervals after the first day of that Interest Period); and

(ii) the rights assigned or novated by the Existing Lender will not include the right to the Accrued Amounts, so that:

(A) when the Accrued Amounts become payable, those Accrued Amounts will be payable to the Existing Lender; and

(b) In this Clause 29.9 references to "Interest Period" shall be construed to include a reference to any other period for accrual of fees.

(c) An Existing Lender which retains the right to the Accrued Amounts under this Clause 29.9 but which does not have a Commitment shall be deemed not to be a Lender for the purposes of ascertaining whether the agreement of any specified group of Lenders has been obtained to approve any request for a consent, waiver, amendment or other vote of Lenders under the Finance Documents.

(a) Subject to clause 29.10(b), if:

(i) all amounts outstanding under this Agreement to a Hedge Counterparty have been repaid or prepaid in full and the Hedge Counterparty's Commitment has been cancelled in full; and

(A) another Lender or Lenders (if there are any at that time); or

(B) if there are no Lenders at that time, to an Approved Hedge Counterparty,

(in each case, an "Incoming Hedge Counterparty") nominated by the Exiting Hedge Counterparty on substantially the same terms and conditions as existed between the Exiting Hedge Counterparty and the Borrower before the novation (including the Incoming Hedge Counterparty acceding to the Security Trust Deed).

(b) If the Approved Hedge Counterparty is unwilling to effect a novation as described in clause 29.10(a) and no other Approved Hedge Counterparty is willing to effect that novation within the time period described in clause 29.10(c), then the Borrower will nominate a third party with approval of each other Lender (if any) to be an Incoming Hedge Counterparty on substantially the same terms and conditions as existed between the Exiting Hedge Counterparty and the Borrower before the novation (including the Incoming Hedge Counterparty acceding to the Security Trust Deed).

(c) The Agent shall not be liable for any damages, costs or losses to any person, any diminution in value or any liability whatsoever as a result of giving any such notification.

30.3 Repetition of Representations

Delivery of an Accession Letter constitutes confirmation by the relevant Subsidiary that the Repeating Representations are true and correct in relation to it as at the date of delivery as if made by reference to the facts and circumstances then existing.

SECTION 10

THE FINANCE PARTIES

32. ROLE OF THE AGENT AND THE ARRANGER

32.1 Appointment of the Agent

(a) Each of the Arranger and the Lenders appoints the Agent to act as its agent under and in connection with the Finance Documents. The Agent will be agent for the Arranger and the Lenders except as described in paragraph (d) below.

(b) Each of the Arranger and the Lenders irrevocably appoints the Agent to act as its agent to execute a relevant Recognition Certificate on its behalf, ratifies that execution, and agrees it is therefore bound as set out the Recognition Certificate by the terms set out in the Security Trust Deed.

(c) Each of the Arranger and the Lenders authorises the Agent to perform the duties, obligations and responsibilities and to exercise the rights, powers, authorities and discretions specifically given to the Agent under or in connection with the Finance Documents together with any other incidental rights, powers, authorities and discretions.

(d) Where the Agent provides services in connection with the administration of the Utilisations, that is when it calculates rates and amounts, keeps records, receives and distributes payments and information received under Clauses 23.1 (Financial statements) and 23.8 (Information: miscellaneous), and receives and deals with Utilisation Requests, it does not provide those services as agent for the Arranger or the Lenders, but as principal, but the remainder of this Clause 32 still applies.

32.2 Instructions

(a) The Agent shall:

(i) unless a contrary indication appears in a Finance Document, exercise or refrain from exercising any right, power, authority or discretion vested in it as Agent in accordance with any instructions given to it by:

(A) all Lenders if the relevant Finance Document stipulates the matter is an all Lender decision; and

(B) in all other cases, the Majority Lenders if the relevant Finance Document stipulates the matter is a Majority Lender decision; and

(ii) not be liable for any act (or omission) if it acts (or refrains from acting) in accordance with paragraph (i) above.

(b) The Agent shall be entitled to request instructions, or clarification of any instruction, from the Majority Lenders (or, if the relevant Finance Document stipulates the matter is a decision for any other Lender or group of Lenders, from that Lender or group of Lenders) as to whether, and in what manner, it should exercise or refrain from exercising any right, power, authority or discretion. The Agent may refrain from acting unless and until it receives any such instructions or clarification that it has requested.

page 150

(c) Save in the case of decisions stipulated to be a matter for any other Lender or group of Lenders under the relevant Finance Document and unless a contrary indication appears in a Finance Document, any instructions given to the Agent by the Majority Lenders shall override any conflicting instructions given by any other Parties and will be binding on all Finance Parties.

(d) The Agent may refrain from acting in accordance with any instructions of any Lender or group of Lenders until it has received any indemnification and/or security that it may in its discretion require (which may be greater in extent than that contained in the Finance Documents and which may include payment in advance) for any cost, loss or liability which it may incur in complying with those instructions. The Agent may specify that the security be cash, in which case the Company must provide it on request, failing which each Lender must on request pay its proportion of the cash according to its Commitment. Any amount recovered by the Agent under any security will be taken to be an amount paid by the party which gave that security.

(e) In the absence of instructions, the Agent may act (or refrain from acting) as it considers to be in the best interest of the Lenders.

(f) The Agent is not authorised to act on behalf of a Lender (without first obtaining that Xxxxxx's consent) in any legal or arbitration proceedings relating to any Finance Document.

(a) The Agent's duties under the Finance Documents are solely mechanical and administrative in nature.

(b) Subject to paragraph (c) below, the Agent shall promptly forward to a Party the original or a copy of any document which is delivered to the Agent for that Party by any other Party.

(c) Without prejudice to Clause 29.7 (Copy of Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement to Borrower), paragraph (b) above shall not apply to any Transfer Certificate or to any Assignment Agreement.

(d) Except where a Finance Document specifically provides otherwise, the Agent is not obliged to review or check the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any document it forwards to another Party.

page 151

(f) If the Agent is aware of the non-payment of any principal, interest, commitment fee or other fee payable to a Finance Party (other than the Agent or the Arranger) under this Agreement it shall promptly notify the other Finance Parties.

(g) The Agent shall have only those duties, obligations and responsibilities expressly specified in the Finance Documents to which it is expressed to be a party (and no others shall be implied).

(h) If the Agent receives a request by a Lender, the Agent will provide a privacy notice (in the form recommended by the Asia Pacific Loan Market Association (Australian Branch) or as otherwise directed by a Finance Party) to a representative of the officers of an Obligor whose personal information has been collected on behalf of the Finance Parties, which details the manner in which personal information collected in connection with this Agreement may be used and disclosed by the Finance Parties.

32.4 Role of the Arranger

Except as specifically provided in the Finance Documents, the Arranger has no obligations of any kind to any other Party under or in connection with any Finance Document.

32.5 No fiduciary duties

(a) Nothing in any Finance Document constitutes the Agent or the Arranger as a trustee or fiduciary of any other person.

(b) Neither the Agent nor the Arranger shall be bound to account to any Lender for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by it for its own account.

32.6 Business with the Group

The Agent and the Arranger may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking or other business with any member of the Group.

32.7 Rights and discretions

(a) The Agent may:

(i) rely on any representation, communication, notice or document believed by it to be genuine, correct and appropriately authorised;

(ii) assume that:

(A) any instructions received by it from the Majority Lenders, any Lenders or any group of Lenders are duly given in accordance with the Finance Documents; and

(B) unless it has received notice of revocation, that those instructions have not been revoked; and

page 152

(iii) rely on a written statement from any person:

(A) as to any matter of fact or circumstance which might reasonably be expected to be within the knowledge of that person; or

(B) to the effect that such person approves of any particular dealing, transaction, step, action or thing,

as sufficient evidence that that is the case and, in the case of paragraph (A) above, may assume the truth and accuracy of that written statement.

(b) The Agent may assume (unless it has received notice to the contrary in its capacity as agent for the Lenders) that:

(i) no Default or Review Event has occurred (unless it has actual knowledge of a Default arising under Clause 28.1 (Non-payment));

(ii) any right, power, authority or discretion vested in any Party or any group of Lenders has not been exercised; and

(iii) any notice or request made by the Borrower (other than a Utilisation Request or Selection Notice) is made on behalf of and with the consent and knowledge of all the Obligors.

(c) The Agent may engage and pay for the advice or services of any lawyers, accountants, surveyors or other experts or professional advisers.

(d) Without prejudice to the generality of paragraph (c) above or paragraph (e) below, the Agent may at any time engage and pay for the services of any lawyers to act as independent counsel to the Agent (and so separate from any lawyers instructed by the Lenders) if the Agent in its reasonable opinion deems this to be necessary.

(e) The Agent may rely on the advice or services of any lawyers, accountants, tax advisers, surveyors or other professional advisers or experts (whether obtained by the Agent or by any other Party) and shall not be liable for any damages, costs or losses to any person, any diminution in value or any liability whatsoever arising as a result of its so relying.

(h) Without limiting paragraph (g) above, the Agent may disclose the identity of a Defaulting Finance Party to the other Finance Parties and the Borrower and shall disclose it on the written request of the Borrower or the Majority Lenders.

page 153

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of any Finance Document to the contrary, neither the Agent nor the Arranger is obliged to do or omit to do anything if it would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of any law or regulation or a breach of a fiduciary duty or duty of confidentiality.

(j) Notwithstanding any provision of any Finance Document to the contrary, the Agent is not obliged to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties, obligations or responsibilities or the exercise of any right, power, authority or discretion if it has grounds for believing the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against, or security for, such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(k) The Parties need not enquire whether any instructions from all or a percentage of Lenders or the Majority Lenders have been given to the Agent or as to the terms of those instructions. As between the other Parties on the one hand and the Agent and Xxxxxxx on the other, everything done by the Agent under or in relation to the Finance Documents will be taken to be authorised.

32.8 Responsibility for documentation

Neither the Agent nor the Arranger is responsible or liable for:

(a) the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any information (whether oral or written) supplied by the Agent, the Arranger, an Obligor or any other person given in or in connection with any Finance Document or the Lender Presentation or the transactions contemplated in the Finance Documents or any other agreement, arrangement or document;

(b) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of any Finance Document or any other agreement, arrangement or document; or

(c) any determination as to whether any information provided or to be provided to any Finance Party is non-public information the use of which may be regulated or prohibited by applicable law or regulation relating to insider dealing or otherwise.

32.9 No duty to monitor

The Agent shall not be bound to enquire:

(a) whether or not any Default or Review Event has occurred;

(b) as to the performance, default or any breach by any Party of its obligations under any Finance Document or any other agreement, arrangement or document; or

(c) whether any other event specified in any Finance Document has occurred.

page 154

32.10 Exclusion of liability

(a) Without limiting paragraph (b) below (and without prejudice to any other provision of any Finance Document excluding or limiting the liability of the Agent), the Agent will not be liable for:

(i) any damages, costs or losses to any person, any diminution in value, or any liability whatsoever arising as a result of taking or not taking any action under or in connection with any Finance Document, unless directly caused by its gross negligence or wilful misconduct;

(ii) exercising, or not exercising, any right, power, authority or discretion given to it by, or in connection with, any Finance Document or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with, any Finance Document, other than by reason of its gross negligence or wilful misconduct; or

(iii) without prejudice to the generality of paragraphs (i) and (ii) above, any damages, costs or losses to any person, any diminution in value or any liability whatsoever (including, without limitation, for negligence or any other category of liability whatsoever but not including any claim based on the fraud of the Agent) arising as a result of:

(A) any act, event or circumstance not reasonably within its control; or

(B) the general risks of investment in, or the holding of assets in, any jurisdiction,

including (in each case and without limitation) such damages, costs, losses to any person, any diminution in value or any liability arising as a result of: nationalisation, expropriation or other governmental actions; any regulation, currency restriction, devaluation or fluctuation; market conditions affecting the execution or settlement of transactions or the value of assets (including any Disruption Event); breakdown, failure or malfunction of any third party transport, telecommunications, computer services or systems; natural disasters or acts of God; war, terrorism, insurrection or revolution; or strikes or industrial action.

(b) No Party (other than the Agent) may take any proceedings against any officer, employee, secondee or agent of the Agent in respect of any claim it might have against the Agent or in respect of any act or omission of any kind by that officer, employee, secondee or agent in relation to any Finance Document and any officer, employee, secondee or agent of the Agent or the Issuing Person may rely on this Clause 32.10.

(c) The Agent will not be liable for any delay (or any related consequences) in crediting an account with an amount required under the Finance Documents to be paid by the Agent if the Agent has taken all necessary steps as soon as reasonably practicable to comply with the regulations or operating procedures of any recognised clearing or settlement system used by the Agent for that purpose.

page 155

(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall oblige the Agent or the Arranger to carry out:

(i) any "know your customer" or other checks in relation to any person; or

(ii) any check on the extent to which any transaction contemplated by this Agreement might be unlawful for any Lender or for any Affiliate of any Lender,

on behalf of any Lender and each Lender confirms to the Agent and the Arranger that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the Agent or the Arranger.

(e) Without prejudice to any provision of any Finance Document excluding or limiting the Agent's liability, any liability of the Agent arising under or in connection with any Finance Document shall be limited to the amount of actual loss which has been suffered (as determined by reference to the date of default of the Agent or, if later, the date on which the loss arises as a result of such default) but without reference to any special conditions or circumstances known to the Agent at any time which increase the amount of that loss. In no event shall the Agent be liable for any loss of profits, goodwill, reputation, business opportunity or anticipated saving, or for special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages, whether or not the Agent has been advised of the possibility of such loss or damages.

32.11 Xxxxxxx' indemnity to the Agent

(a) Each Lender shall (in proportion to its share of the Total Commitments or, if the Total Commitments are then zero, to its share of the Total Commitments immediately before their reduction to zero) indemnify the Agent, within three Business Days of demand, against any cost, expense, loss or liability (including, without limitation, for negligence or any other category of liability whatsoever) incurred by the Agent (otherwise than by reason of the Agent's gross negligence or wilful misconduct) (or, in the case of any cost, expense, loss or liability under Clause 36.11 (Disruption to payment systems etc.) notwithstanding the Agent's negligence, gross negligence or any other category of liability whatsoever but not including any claim based on the fraud of the Agent) in acting as Agent under the Finance Documents (unless the Agent has been reimbursed by an Obligor under a Finance Document).

(b) A Lender's share will be the proportion of its share of the Total Commitments or, if the Total Commitments are then zero, its share of the Total Commitments immediately before their reduction to zero. Where a Xxxxxx's Commitment has been reduced to zero, but it has a participation in any outstanding Utilisations, then for this purpose its Commitment will be taken to be the aggregate amount of its participation (and the Total Commitments calculated accordingly).

(c) If any Lender fails to pay its share of any amount due under paragraph (a) one or more other Lenders may pay all or part of that share to the Agent. In that case, the defaulting Lender must immediately pay each such paying Lender the amount paid by that paying Lender together with interest equal to the rate from time to time certified by the paying Lender to be its cost of funds plus a margin of 2 per cent per annum, compounding monthly.

page 156

(d) If any Lender fails to provide its share of security to the Agent when requested under Xxxxxx 32.7 (Rights and discretions) one or more other Lenders may provide all or part of that share on its behalf. Where that security is cash the non providing Lender must immediately pay each Lender that provided cash the amount provided by it together with interest equal to its cost of funds plus a margin of 2 per cent per annum, compounding monthly.

32.12 Resignation of the Agent

(a) The Agent may resign and appoint one of its Affiliates acting through an office in Australia as successor by giving notice to the Lenders and the Borrower.

(b) Alternatively the Agent may resign by giving 30 days' notice to the Lenders and the Borrower, in which case the Majority Lenders (after consultation with the Borrower) may appoint a successor Agent.

(c) If the Majority Lenders have not appointed a successor Agent in accordance with paragraph (b) above within 20 days after notice of resignation was given, the retiring Agent (after consultation with the Borrower ) may appoint a successor Agent (acting through an office in the same time zone as Australia).

(d) If the Agent wishes to resign because (acting reasonably) it has concluded that it is no longer appropriate for it to remain as agent and the Agent is entitled to appoint a successor Agent under paragraph (c) above, the Agent may (if it concludes (acting reasonably) that it is necessary to do so in order to persuade the proposed successor Agent to become a party to this Agreement as Agent) agree with the proposed successor Agent amendments to this Clause 32 and any other term of this Agreement dealing with the rights or obligations of the Agent consistent with then current market practice for the appointment and protection of agents of syndicated financing transactions together with any reasonable amendments to the agency fee payable under this Agreement which are consistent with the successor Agent's normal fee rates and those amendments will bind the Parties.

(e) The retiring Agent shall make available to the successor Agent such documents and records and provide such assistance as the successor Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of performing its functions as Agent under the Finance Documents. The Borrower shall, within three Business Days of demand, reimburse the retiring Agent for the amount of all costs and expenses (including legal fees) properly incurred by it in making available such documents and records and providing such assistance.

(f) The Agent's resignation notice shall only take effect upon the appointment of a successor.

(g) Upon the appointment of a successor, the retiring Agent shall be discharged from any further obligation in respect of the Finance Documents (other than its obligations under paragraph (e) above) but shall remain entitled to the benefit of Clause 17.3 (Indemnity to the Agent) and this Clause 32 (and any agency fees for the account of the retiring Agent shall cease to accrue from (and shall be payable on) that date). Any successor and each of the other Parties shall have the same rights and obligations amongst themselves as they would have had if such successor had been an original Party.

page 157

(h) After consultation with the Borrower, the Majority Lenders may, by notice to the Agent, require it to resign in accordance with paragraph (b) above. In this event, the Agent shall resign in accordance with paragraph (b) above (or, if at any time the Agent is a Defaulting Finance Party, by giving any shorter notice determined by the Majority Lenders).

(i) The Agent shall resign in accordance with paragraph (b) above (and, to the extent applicable, shall use reasonable endeavours to appoint a successor Agent under paragraph (c) above) if on or after the date which is three months before the earliest FATCA Application Date relating to any payment to the Agent under the Finance Documents, either:

(i) the Agent fails to respond to a request under Clause 15.7 (FATCA Information) and a Lender reasonably believes that the Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date;

(ii) the information supplied by the Agent under Clause 15.7 (FATCA Information) indicates that the Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date; or

(iii) the Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date;

and (in each case) a Lender reasonably believes that a Party will be required to make a FATCA Deduction that would not be required if the Agent were a FATCA Exempt Party, and that Xxxxxx, by notice to the Agent, requires it to resign.

32.13 Confidentiality

(a) In acting as agent for the Finance Parties, the Agent shall be regarded as acting through its agency division which shall be treated as a separate entity from any other of its divisions or departments.

(b) If information is received by another division or department of the Agent, it may be treated as confidential to that division or department and the Agent shall not be deemed to have notice of it.

32.14 Relationship with the Lenders

(a) Subject to Clause 29.9 (Pro rata interest settlement), the Agent may treat the person shown in its records as Xxxxxx at the opening of business (in the place of the Agent's principal office as notified to the Finance Parties from time to time) as the Lender acting through its Facility Office:

page 158

(i) entitled to or liable for any payment due under any Finance Document on that day; and

(ii) entitled to receive and act upon any notice, request, document or communication or make any decision or determination under any Finance Document made or delivered on that day,

unless it has received not less than five Business Days' prior notice from that Lender to the contrary in accordance with this Agreement.

(b) Any Lender may by notice to the Agent appoint a person to receive on its behalf all notices, communications, information and documents to be made or despatched to that Lender under the Finance Documents. Such notice shall contain the address, fax number and electronic mail address and/or any other information required to enable the sending and receipt of information by that means (and, in each case, the department or officer, if any, for whose attention communication is to be made) and be treated as a notification of a substitute address, fax number, electronic mail address, department and officer by that Lender for the purposes of Clause 38.2 (Addresses) and the Agent shall be entitled to treat such person as the person entitled to receive all such notices, communications, information and documents as though that person were that Xxxxxx.

(c) The Agent may rely on or receive instructions from any attorney acting on behalf of a Lender, or any person acting on behalf of a Lender whose title or acting title includes the word Manager, Head, Executive, Director or President or cognate expressions, or any secretary or director of a Lender.

32.15 Credit appraisal by the Lenders

Without affecting the responsibility of any Obligor for information supplied by it or on its behalf in connection with any Finance Document, each Lender confirms to the Agent and the Arranger that it has been, and will continue to be, solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with any Finance Document including but not limited to:

(a) the financial condition, status and nature of each member of the Group;

(b) the legality, validity, priority, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of any Finance Document and any other agreement, arrangement or document;

(c) whether that Xxxxxx has recourse, and the nature and extent of that recourse, against any Party or any of its respective assets under or in connection with any Finance Document, the transactions contemplated by the Finance Documents or any other agreement, arrangement or document; and

(d) the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of the Lender Presentation and any other information provided by the Agent, any Party or by any other person under or in connection with any Finance Document, the transactions contemplated by any Finance Documents or any other agreement, arrangement or document.

page 159

32.16 Agent's management time

Any amount payable to the Agent under Xxxxxx 17.3 (Indemnity to the Agent), Clause 19 (Costs and expenses) and Clause 32.11 (Lenders' indemnity to the Agent) shall include the cost of utilising the Agent's management time or other resources and will be calculated on the basis of such reasonable daily or hourly rates as the Agent may notify to the Borrower and the Lenders, and is in addition to any fee paid or payable to the Agent under Clause 14 (Fees).

32.17 Deduction from amounts payable by the Agent

If any Party owes an amount to the Agent under the Finance Documents the Agent may, after giving notice to that Party, deduct an amount not exceeding that amount from any payment to that Party which the Agent would otherwise be obliged to make under the Finance Documents and apply the amount deducted in or towards satisfaction of the amount owed. For the purposes of the Finance Documents that Party shall be regarded as having received any amount so deducted.

33. CONDUCT OF BUSINESS BY THE FINANCE PARTIES

No provision of this Agreement will:

(a) interfere with the right of any Finance Party to arrange its affairs (tax or otherwise) in whatever manner it thinks fit;

(b) oblige any Finance Party to investigate or claim any credit, relief, remission or repayment available to it or the extent, order and manner of any claim; or

(c) oblige any Finance Party to disclose any information relating to its affairs (tax or otherwise) or any computations in respect of Tax.

34. SHARING AMONG THE FINANCE PARTIES

34.1 Payments to Finance Parties

(a) If a Finance Party (a "Recovering Finance Party") receives or recovers (including by combination of accounts or set off) any amount from an Obligor other than in accordance with Clause 36 (Payment Mechanics) and applies that amount to a payment due under the Finance Documents then:

(i) the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days, notify details of the receipt or recovery to the Agent;

(ii) the Agent shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the Recovering Finance Party would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been received or made by the Agent and distributed in accordance with Clause 36 (Payment Mechanics), without taking account of any Tax which would be imposed on the Agent in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and

(iii) the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days of demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent an amount (the "Sharing Payment") equal to such receipt or recovery less any amount which the Agent determines may be retained by the Recovering Finance Party as its share of any payment to be made, in accordance with Clause 36.6 (Partial payments).

page 160

(b) Paragraph (a) above:

(i) shall not apply to any amount received or recovered by the Issuing Person and applied by it towards any amount then payable to it by way of the provision of cash cover (which has been provided to the Issuing Person in accordance with the Finance Documents) or otherwise in respect of a Letter of Credit at any time when receipts and recoveries by the Finance Parties are sufficient to discharge all amounts then due and payable under the Finance Documents; and

(ii) shall apply to any amount received or recovered by the Issuing Person and applied by it towards any amount then payable to it by way of the provision of cash cover or otherwise in respect of a Letter of Credit at any time when receipts and recoveries by the Finance Parties are not sufficient to discharge all amounts then due and payable under the Finance Documents; and

(iii) shall not apply to any application by the Issuing Person under Clause 28.27 (Cash cover) of cash cover which has been provided to the Issuing Person in accordance with the Finance Documents.

34.2 Redistribution of payments

The Agent shall treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been paid by the relevant Obligor and distribute it between the Finance Parties (other than the Recovering Finance Party) (the "Sharing Finance Parties") in accordance with Clause 36.6 (Partial payments) towards the obligations of that Obligor to the Sharing Finance Parties.

34.3 Recovering Finance Party's rights

(a) Unless paragraph (b) applies:

(i) the receipt or recovery referred to in Clause 34.1 (Payments to Finance Parties) will be taken to have been a payment for the account of the Agent and not to the Recovering Finance Party for its own account, and the liability of the relevant Obligor to the Recovering Finance Party will only be reduced to the extent of any distribution retained by the Recovering Finance Party under Clause 34.1(a)(iii) (Payments to Finance Parties); and

(ii) (without limiting sub-paragraph (i)) the relevant Obligor shall indemnify the Recovering Finance Party against a payment under Clause 34.1(a)(iii) (Payments to Finance Parties) to the extent that (despite sub-paragraph (i)) its liability has been discharged by the recovery or payment.

page 161

(b) Where:

(i) the amount referred to in Clause 34.1 (Payments to Finance Parties) above was received or recovered otherwise than by payment (for example, set off); and

(ii) the relevant Obligor, or the person from whom the receipt or recovery is made, is insolvent at the time of the receipt or recovery, or at the time of the payment to the Agent, or becomes insolvent as a result of the receipt or recovery,

then the following will apply so that the Finance Parties have the same rights and obligations as if the money had been paid by the relevant Obligor to the Agent for the account of the Finance Parties and distributed accordingly:

(iii) each other Finance Party will assign to the Recovering Finance Party an amount of the debt owed by the relevant Obligor to that Finance Party under the Finance Documents equal to the amount received by that Finance Party under Clause 34.2 (Redistribution of payments);

(iv) the Recovering Finance Party will be entitled to all rights (including interest and voting rights) under the Finance Documents in respect of the debt so assigned; and

(v) that assignment will take effect automatically on payment of the Sharing Payment by the Agent to the other Finance Party.

34.4 Reversal of redistribution

SECTION 11 ADMINISTRATION

36. PAYMENT MECHANICS

36.1 Payments to the Agent

(a) On each date on which an Obligor or a Lender is required to make a payment under a Finance Document, that Obligor or Lender shall make the same available to the Agent (unless a contrary indication appears in a Finance Document) for value on the due date at the time in immediately available funds or if agreed by the Agent in such funds specified by the Agent as being customary at the time for settlement of transactions in the relevant currency in the place of payment.

(b) Payment shall be made to such account:

(i) in the case of Australian dollars, in the city of the Agent; or

(ii) in the case of any other currency, in the principal financial centre of the country of that currency (or, in relation to euro, in a principal financial centre in a Participating Member State or London as specified by the Agent),

with such bank as the Agent, in each case, specifies.

(c) Payment by an Obligor to the Agent for the account of a Finance Party satisfies the Obligor's obligations to make that payment.

36.2 Distributions by the Agent

Each payment received by the Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party shall, subject to Clause 36.3 (Distributions to an Obligor) and Clause 36.4 (Clawback and pre- funding) be made available by the Agent as soon as practicable after receipt to the Party entitled to receive payment in accordance with this Agreement (in the case of a Lender, for the account of its Facility Office), to such account as that Party may notify to the Agent by not less than five Business Days' notice with a bank specified by that Party in Australia, in the case of Australian dollars, and, in the case of any other currency in the principal financial centre of the country of that currency (or, in relation to euro, in the principal financial centre of a Participating Member State or London, as specified by that Party).

36.3 Distributions to an Obligor

The Agent may (with the consent of the Obligor or in accordance with Clause 37 (Set-off)) apply any amount received by it for that Obligor in or towards payment (on the date and in the currency and funds of receipt) of any amount due from that Obligor under the Finance Documents or in or towards purchase of any amount of any currency to be so applied.

36.4 Clawback and pre-funding

(a) Where a sum is to be paid by a Party (the "Payer") to the Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party, the Agent is not obliged to pay that sum to that other Party (or to enter into or perform any related exchange contract) until it has been able to establish to its satisfaction that it has actually received that sum.

page 165

(b) If the Agent pays an amount to another Party:

(i) which it is to receive from another Party and it proves to be the case that the Agent had not actually received that amount, and paragraph (c) below does not apply, or

(ii) otherwise erroneously or mistakenly (in the reasonable opinion of the Agent),

then the Party to whom that amount (or the proceeds of any related exchange contract) was paid by the Agent shall on demand refund the same to the Agent together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt by the Agent, calculated by the Agent to reflect its cost of funds.

(c) If the Agent has notified the Lenders that it is willing to make available amounts for the account of the Borrower before receiving funds from the Lenders then if and to the extent that the Agent does so but it proves to be the case that it does not then receive funds from a Lender in respect of a sum which it paid to the Borrower:

(i) the Agent shall notify the Borrower of that Xxxxxx's identity and the Borrower shall on demand refund it to the Agent; and

(ii) the Lender by whom those funds should have been made available or, if that Xxxxxx fails to do so, the Borrower, shall on demand pay to the Agent the amount (as certified by the Agent) which will indemnify the Agent against any funding cost incurred by it as a result of paying out that sum before receiving those funds from that Xxxxxx.

(d) If the Agent makes a payment under sub-paragraph (b)(i) or paragraph (c), the Payer will still remain liable to make the assumed payment, but until the other Party does repay the Agent under paragraph (b)(i) or (c), the Payer's liability will be to the Agent in the Agent's own right.

(e) If the Agent makes a payment under sub-paragraph (b)(ii) to a Party (the "Recipient") which is, or is taken to be, in respect of the liability of any other Party under the Finance Documents, that other Party will still remain liable as if that payment had not been made, but until the Recipient does repay the Agent under paragraph (b), the other Party's liability will be to the Agent in the Agent's own right.

(f) Payment by the Agent of an amount to a Party is not a representation that the amount is then payable to that Party.

(i) first, in or towards payment pro rata of any amounts payable but unpaid in respect of fees, costs, expenses, losses or liabilities of the Agent or the Arranger under the Finance Documents or the Security Trustee under the Finance Documents;

Dated: [          ]

Metals Acquisition Corp. (Australia) Pty Ltd – Syndicated Facility Agreement

dated [           ] (the "Agreement")

1. We refer to the Agreement. This is a Transfer Certificate. Terms defined in the Agreement have the same meaning in this Transfer Certificate unless given a different meaning in this Transfer Certificate.

2. We refer to Clause 29.5 (Procedure for novation) of the Agreement:

(a) The Existing Lender and the New Lender agree to the Existing Lender and the New Lender with effect from and including the Transfer Date novating in accordance with Clause 29.5 (Procedure for novation) of the Agreement that portion of the Existing Xxxxxx's Commitment and participations in Utilisations under the Agreement specified in the Schedule, and all of the Existing Lender's rights and obligations under the Agreement, the other Finance Documents and in respect of the Transaction Security which related to that portion.

(b) The proposed Transfer Date is [                   ].

(c) To the extent permitted by law, the Existing Lender assigns to the New Lender all rights of action that it may have to the extent they relate to its novated Commitment and its corresponding rights and obligations and all sums provided under or in connection with the novated Commitment.

page 215

3. The New Lender expressly acknowledges the limitations on the Existing Lender's obligations set out in paragraphs (a) and (c) of Clause 29.4 (Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders) of the Agreement.

4 In this paragraph, terms defined in the Security Trust Deed have the same meaning. If the New Lender is not already a Beneficiary under the Security Trust Deed, the Security Trustee agrees on behalf of itself and all other Beneficiaries as set out in the Recognition Certificate issued under the Security Trust Deed in favour of the Agent. In consideration for that agreement, the New Lender agrees that upon becoming a Lender it is bound by the Recognition Certificate, and therefore by the terms set out in the Security Trust Deed as set out in the Recognition Certificate. This Transfer Certificate does not impose any other obligation nor constitute any other conduct by the Security Trustee or other Beneficiaries. Each Obligor agrees with the New Lender as set out in the Recognition Certificate.

5 This Transfer Certificate may be executed in any number of counterparts and this has the same effect as if the signatures on the counterparts were on a single copy of this Transfer Certificate.

6 This Transfer Certificate is governed by New South Wales law.

7 This Transfer Certificate has been entered into on the date stated at the beginning of this Transfer Certificate.

8 [Where the transferee is a trustee under Australian law of a fund, this certificate may if the Agent and the Security Trustee agree contain a provision limiting its liability under the Finance Documents to fund assets except to the extent its right to apply the fund assets towards satisfaction of that liability is impaired because of a breach of trust or other impropriety, such provision to be in the following form or as otherwise agreed by the Agent and the Security Trustee. Each of the Agent's and the Security Trustee's decision is its own. It need not consult or obtain instructions and is not bound by instructions.

(a) [Trustee] enters into and performs this Transfer Certificate and the Agreement and the transactions they contemplate only as trustee of the Trust, except where expressly stated otherwise. This applies also in respect of any past and future conduct (including omissions) relating to this Transfer Certificate and the Agreement or those transactions.

(b) Under and in connection with this Transfer Certificate and the Agreement and those transactions and conduct:

(i) [Trustee]'s liability (including for negligence) is limited to the extent it can be satisfied out of the assets of the Trust. [Trustee] need not pay any such liability out of other assets;

(ii) another party may only do the following (but any resulting liability remains subject to this Clause):

(A) prove and participate in, and otherwise benefit from, any form of insolvency administration of [Trustee] but only with respect to Trust assets;

page 216

(B) exercise rights and remedies with respect to Trust assets, including set- off;

(C) enforce its security (if any) and exercise contractual rights; and

(D) bring any other proceedings against [Trustee], seeking relief or orders that are not inconsistent with the limitations in this Clause, and may not otherwise:

(E) bring proceedings against [Trustee];

(F) take any steps to have [Trustee] placed into any form of insolvency administration (but this does not prevent the appointment of a receiver, or a receiver and manager, in respect of Trust assets); or

(G) seek by any means (including set-off) to have a liability of [Trustee] to that party (including for negligence) satisfied out of any assets of [Trustee] other than Trust assets.

(c) Paragraphs (a) and (b) apply despite any other provision in this Transfer Certificate or the Agreement but do not apply with respect to any liability of [Trustee] to another party (including for negligence) to the extent that [Trustee] has no right or power to have Trust assets applied towards satisfaction of that liability, or its right or power to do so is subject to a deduction, reduction, limit or requirement to make good, in any case because [Trustee] has acted beyond power or improperly in relation to the Trust.

(d) The limitation in paragraph (b)(i) is to be disregarded for the purposes (but only for the purposes) of the rights and remedies described in paragraph (b)(ii), and interpreting this Transfer Certificate and the Agreement and any security for them, including determining the following:

(i) whether amounts are to be regarded as payable (and for this purpose damages or other amounts will be regarded as a payable if they would have been owed had a suit or action barred under paragraph (b)(ii) been brought);

(ii) the calculation of amounts owing; or

(iii) whether a breach or default has occurred,

but any resulting liability will be subject to the limitations in this Clause.]
