	(b)		for each subsequent Interest Period, a period notified in a Selection Notice given by the [Borrower / Obligors’ Agent] 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 a 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:

ã Mallesons Stephen Jaques 10616910_8		James Hardie — Bullet Facility Agreement 21 June 2011		9

	(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 / a] Borrower so requires, the Financier and the [Borrower / Obligors’ Agent] 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 / Obligors’ Agent], be binding on each of them [and the Borrowers].

5		Repaying and prepaying
5.1		Repayment

	(a)		[The / Each] Borrower agrees to repay the total of the Drawings [drawn by it] 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.
	(b)		[The Obligors’ Agent must provide a written Repayment Notice to the Financier by 11:00am ([•] time) at least 2 Business Days prior to the Maturity Date (or such later time as the Financier may agree), but failure to do so is without prejudice to the obligations of the Borrowers under clause 5.1(a) above.]

5.2		Prepayment
		[The / Each] Borrower may prepay all or part of a Drawing [drawn by it] as follows:

	(a)		if only part of a Drawing is prepaid, it must be at least US$[•] and a whole multiple of US$[•], or such lesser amount as may be agreed by the Financier (at its discretion) from time to time; and
	(b)		the Borrower must also pay all accrued (but unpaid) interest on that Drawing; and
	(c)		the Obligors’ Agent [notify the proposed prepayment in writing / must provide a written Prepayment Notice] to the Financier at least 10 Business Days prior to the date of the requested prepayment (as at close of business [•] time) (once given, a notice of prepayment is irrevocable and the Borrower is obliged to prepay in accordance with the notice).

ã Mallesons Stephen Jaques 10616910_8		James Hardie — Bullet Facility Agreement 21 June 2011		10

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.

5.3		Prepayment and the Facility Limit
		The Facility Limit is not reduced by amounts prepaid under clause 5.2 (“Prepayment”).
6		Payments
6.1		Payment by direction
		If the Financier directs a 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, each 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 / each] 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 / each] 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 / Obligors’ Agent] 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 cancellation must be at least US$[•], 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 ([•] time) on the last day of the Availability Period.

8.2		[•] Commitment Fee
		The [Borrower / Obligors’ Agent] agrees to pay in arrears on each Fee Payment Date, on any cancellation date described below and on the Maturity Date, the accrued but [•] Commitment Fee as set out in the Details.
		If the [Borrower / Obligors’ Agent] 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		Interest on overdue amounts
		This clause applies despite the provisions of the Common Terms Deed Poll.
9.1		Obligation to pay
		If [the / a] Borrower does not pay any amount under or in respect of this agreement (including an amount of interest payable under this clause 9.1) 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.
		[The / A] Borrower must pay interest under this clause to the Financier on demand from the Financier on the last Business Day of each calendar month.
9.2		Compounding
		Interest payable under clause 9.1 (“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 9.1 (“Obligation to pay”).
9.3		Interest following judgment
		If a liability becomes merged in a judgment, the [relevant] Borrower must pay interest on the amount of that liability as an independent obligation. This interest:

10		Money Laundering
		[The / Each] Borrower agrees that the Financier may delay, block, or refuse to make any payment if the Financier believes on reasonable grounds that making that payment will breach any law in Australia or any other country where such payment is to be made, and the Financier will incur no liability to the Borrower if it does so.
		[The / Each] Borrower must provide all information to the Financier that the Financier reasonably requires to comply with any law in Australia or any other country. [The / Each] Borrower agrees the Financier may disclose information which it provides to the Financier where required by any law in Australia or any other country.
		Unless [the / a] Borrower has disclosed that it is acting in a trustee capacity or on behalf of another party, [the / that] Borrower warrants that it is acting on its own behalf in applying for and using any of the Financier’s products or services.
		[The / Each] Borrower declares and undertakes to the Financier that the payment of monies by the Financier in accordance with any written instructions given by the Borrower will not breach any law in Australia or any other country where such money is to be paid.
11		Governing law [and jurisdiction]
		This agreement is governed by the law in force in New South Wales and [the / each] Borrower submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of that place.
EXECUTED as an agreement.
