			The Borrower must use an Advance only for an Approved Purpose.
	2.3		Availability
			The Undrawn Commitment is cancelled at 5.00 pm on the last day of the Availability Period.
	2.4		Quarterly and ad-hoc drawdowns
			Subject to the terms of this document and the satisfaction or waiver of all applicable conditions precedent, the parties currently intend that:

	(a)		in relation to the First Period, one Advance (if and as necessary) be made after the date the AFFA Amending Deed has come into force in accordance with clause 2.2 of that deed in the amount of the Shortfall Amount (if any) for the First Period; and

	(c)		additional Advances may be made during the Availability Period on an ad hoc basis as and when necessary in an amount based on the actual shortfall (if any) of the cash amount available to the Obligors on a consolidated basis for the relevant Period (being a Period during the Availability Period and, for the avoidance of doubt, after taking into account any Advance made in respect of that Period) in order to meet the Approved Purpose in that Period.

	2.5		Discretionary uplift
			The Lender may, in consultation with the Borrower, increase the amount of any Advance above the amount contemplated by clause 2.4 by an amount (Uplift Amount) acceptable to the Lender in order to reduce the likelihood of the need to make ad hoc Advances as contemplated by clause 2.4(c). The Lender is not obliged to do so.

4

Interest

4.1     Interest

(a)

Subject to clause 4.1(d), the Borrower must pay to the Lender interest on each Advance:

	(i)		at the rate determined under clause 4.1(b) for each Interest Period for that Advance; and
	(ii)		in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for that Advance.

	(b)		The rate of interest for each Interest Period in respect of an Advance is the rate of interest per annum determined by the Lender to be the Base Rate for that Advance and Interest Period.
	(c)		Interest:

(i)

accrues on a daily basis, including the first day but excluding the last day of the relevant Interest Period; and

Gilbert + Tobin		page | 5

(ii)

is calculated on the basis of a 365 day year.

(d)

For the avoidance of doubt the Borrower may elect to defer the timing of any payment under clause 4.1(a)(ii) at any time and from time to time either in whole or in part by electing to capitalise the relevant amount of interest on its due date under clause 4.3.

4.2

Interest Periods

	(a)		The first Interest Period for an Advance commences on its Drawdown Date and ends one month later;
	(b)		each subsequent Interest Period for an Advance starts on the last day of the preceding Interest Period for that Advance and ends one month later;
	(c)		an Interest Period which would otherwise end on a day which is not a Business Day instead ends on the following Business Day or on the immediately preceding Business Day if the Business Day is in another calendar month;
	(d)		an Interest Period commencing on a date in a month where there is no corresponding date in the following month in which it would otherwise end, ends on the last Business Day of the later month; and
	(e)		an Interest Period which would otherwise end after the Final Repayment Date instead ends on the Final Repayment Date.

	4.3		Capitalisation
			Interest that is not paid when due on any Interest Payment Date as a result of the Borrower electing to capitalise interest under clause 4.1(d) is to be capitalised on the relevant Interest Payment Date and so is added to the principal amount of the relevant Advance on and from that date. If interest is not paid by the Borrower on any Interest Payment Date the Borrower shall be taken to have elected to capitalise all interest due on that Interest Payment Date without the need for any notice to be delivered by the Borrower to the Lender.

5

Repayment, prepayment and cancellation

5.1     Repayment and prepayment

	(a)		Subject to clause 5.1(c), the Obligors must, in each Period in which there is an Amount Outstanding, immediately upon receipt (or by direction to the payee in lieu of receipt) apply 100% of Available Proceeds in that Period (or, if less, the amount required at that time to repay the Amount Outstanding in full) in repayment of the Amount Outstanding, the intention of the parties being that the Amount Outstanding should be repaid in full as soon as possible.
	(b)		On demand the Borrower must pay to each Liable Entity all amounts paid by the Liable Entity under clause 5.1(a) and indemnifies the Liable Entity against any loss, cost, liability or expense sustained or incurred as a direct or indirect consequence of any payment by the Liable Entity to the Lender under clause 5.1(a).
	(c)		The Lender may, in its discretion, waive or postpone (in such manner and for such period as the Lender determines) the requirements of clause 5.1(a) at any time and from time to time either in whole or in part in order to ensure that the Obligors have sufficient funds available to them from time to time for them to be able to meet their operating expenses and liabilities that fall within the Approved Purpose. The Lender is not obliged to do so.

Gilbert + Tobin		page | 6

	(d)		The Borrower may prepay all or part of the Amount Outstanding at any time and from time to time without penalty.
	(e)		Subject to the terms of this document (including clauses 3.3 and 3.4), the Borrower may, during the Availability Period borrow or reborrow, as a new Advance, an amount of an Advance (including capitalised interest) which it has repaid or prepaid under this document, if it is necessary in order to ensure that the Obligors have sufficient funds available to them for them to be able to meet their operating expenses and liabilities that fall within the Approved Purpose.
	(f)		The Commitment shall not be reduced solely as a result of a full or partial repayment or prepayment of an Advance.
	(g)		Without limiting its other payment obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Borrower must fully and finally repay to the Lender the Amount Outstanding on or before the Final Repayment Date.

5.2

Commitment

	(a)		On each Review Date the Commitment shall be determined in accordance with this clause 5.2.
	(b)		On each Review Date:

(i)

if the Valuation at the Review Date is greater than the Commitment at that date, the Commitment shall become the lesser of:

	(A)		the Initial Commitment;
	(B)		the Commitment as reduced by the Borrower under clause 5.2(c); and
	(C)		the amount of the Valuation at the Review Date less any capitalised interest outstanding under this document at that date;

	(ii)		if the Valuation at the Review Date is the same as the Commitment at that date, the Commitment shall not change; and
	(iii)		if the Valuation at the Review Date is less than the Commitment at that date, the Commitment shall become the amount of the Valuation at the Review Date.

(c)

On giving to the Lender at least 5 Business Days’ notice, the Borrower may cancel all or part of the Undrawn Commitment at any time when:

	(i)		there are no debts or monetary obligations actually or contingently owing under a Transaction Document at that time; and
	(ii)		the board of directors of the Borrower is of the view that it appears reasonably likely that there will be sufficient funds available to it for all then present and future Payable Liabilities of the Liable Entities during the Availability Period to be paid in full as and when they fall due for payment, taking into account that cancellation in the Undrawn Commitment.

			That notice and that cancellation in the Undrawn Commitment shall be irrevocable.
			If the whole of the Commitment is cancelled in accordance with this clause 5.2(c), this document shall immediately terminate subject to its terms and the Lender undertakes, subject to the terms of the Security, to discharge the Security

Gilbert + Tobin		page | 7

(including by providing a deed of release and appropriate ASIC forms in such form as the Obligors are entitled to require) and return any documents of title which the Lender holds to the Secured Property in accordance with clause 3 of the Security dated on or about the date of this document and equivalent provision in any other Security.

	(c)		to the account specified by the Lender,

	(c)		must pay the full amount of the deduction or withholding to the appropriate Governmental Agency under applicable law, and deliver the original receipts to the Lender.

	6.5		Allocation of Receipts
