Facility Procedures - Bill Option Preparation of Bills Westpac need not prepare Bills, and ordinarily will not do so. Only Westpac may require that physical Bills be brought into existence. However, Westpac may itself prepare Bills or require Collins to prepare Bills under this agreement. If Westpac does not require the physical preparation of Bills it will be taken to have prepared, signed on behalf of Collins (as drawer) accepted and discounted Bills in compliance with this agreement. This agreement will apply as if: (a) Westpac had prepared, accepted and discounted those Bills, and (b) Collins had signed those Bills as drawer. Form of Bills Bills prepared under this agreement must: (C)Westpac Banking Corporation Page 4 Collins Restaurants Management Pty Ltd (a) be in a form acceptable to Westpac, and to the extent practicable, have a face amount of $100,000 or any other amount specified by Westpac; (b) be expressed to be drawn by Collins and signed by Collins as drawer; (c) be payable at Westpac's office at: 3rd Floor, 255 Elizabeth Street, Sydney, NSW 2000, or any other address which Westpac may specify; (d) have the name of the payee left blank; (e) have a term, as required by Collins of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 months or any other term Westpac and Collins may agree; and (f) mature on a Business Day which is not later than the Expiry Date. Collins must select terms and amounts for Bills so that the total face amount of outstanding Bills will not at any time exceed the limit allocated to the Bill Option. Authority Collins irrevocably and for value authorises Westpac: (a) to complete and deliver Bills under this agreement, (b) on behalf of Collins and in Collins's name to prepare Bills complying with this agreement and to sign them as drawer and if applicable, endorse them, and to alter any non-complying Bills. 5. Acceptance and Discount Acceptance and Discount When it is obliged under this agreement to accept and discount Bills Westpac will: (a) accept those Bills, (b) if necessary, insert as payee itself or any other person who is to buy those Bills, and (c) discount those Bills and pay to Collins or as it directs an amount equal to the sum of the face amount of those Bills less the sum of: (i) a discount amount for each Bill which would result in a yield to maturity on that Bill calculated at the Discount Rate (expressed as a yield percent per annum), (C)Westpac Banking Corporation Page 5 Collins Restaurants Management Pty Ltd (ii) the acceptance fee for the Bills, (iii) the preparation fee for the Bills, (iv) any applicable stamp duty or other tax payable by Westpac on or in respect of the Bills or any payment under this agreement (including financial institutions duty), and (v) any other amount owing by Collins to Westpac in relation to the Bills under this agreement. 6. Payment Obligations Indemnity Collins shall indemnify Westpac on demand against all liabilities of Westpac as acceptor or endorser of Bills. Liability on Bills As between Westpac and Collins, Collins is primarily liable in respect of all Bills. Accordingly: (a) the liability of Collins with respect to any Bill will not be discharged because Westpac becomes the holder of that Bill before, on or after its maturity, and (b) not later than 11 am on the maturity date for each Bill, Collins shall pay to Westpac an amount equal to the face amount of that Bill. Netting Off Where new Bills are to be drawn and accepted on the maturity date of old Bills, only the net amount as between the amounts payable on that date: (a) by Collins to Westpac under the clause headed "Payment Obligations" in respect of the face amount of the old Bills, and (b) by Westpac to Collins by way of proceeds of the new Bills under The clause headed "Acceptance and Discount", need be paid. Fees Collins will pay fees as set out in this agreement. (C)Westpac Banking Corporation Page 6 Collins Restaurants Management Pty Ltd Repayment The facilities provided under this agreement will terminate on the Expiry Date, and at that time Collins will pay to Westpac: (a) all money owing by it to Westpac under or in connection with the facilities provided under this agreement, and (b) the face amount of all Bills then outstanding. 7. Representations and Undertakings Collins make the representations and give the undertakings in the Guarantee. 8. Westpac's Remedies and Powers Event of Default If an Event of Default (as defined in the Guarantee) occurs then Westpac may at any time do either or both of the following: (a) terminate the facilities and cancel the Commitment; and (b) by written notice require Collins to pay to Westpac all or some of: (i) the money actually or contingently owing by it to Westpac under or in connection with the facilities, and (ii) the face amount of all Bills outstanding as at the date of that notice. Collins will pay those amounts immediately. If a notice requires the payment of only some of the amounts lent or provided or otherwise outstanding, then Westpac may at any time by written notice require Collins to pay further amounts, until all amounts lent or provided or actually or contingently outstanding by Collins have been paid. Amounts paid on unmatured Bills and contingent amounts (a) Any amount paid to Westpac under this clause in respect of any unmatured Bill or in respect of any sum contingently owing, and (b) interest credited under this clause, (C)Westpac Banking Corporation Page 7 Collins Restaurants Management Pty Ltd will accrue and be credited with interest at a rate and in a manner which Westpac determines would under its normal procedures apply to deposits of a similar amount at call (or of any other term specified by Westpac). Westpac may apply it in or towards satisfaction of any sum at any time payable by Collins to Westpac under or in relation to this agreement or any security document, including in respect of Bills. It is repayable by Westpac to the extent only that on any day it exceeds the amount of all money owing to Westpac under or in connection with this agreement or any security document (including, without limitation, the total face amount of the outstanding Bills and all amounts which are then or may subsequently become contingently owing). Application of Money - Set-Off If Collins does not pay an amount when due, Westpac may apply any money in any of Collins' accounts (whether or not matured) in payment of any amount payable under this agreement. It need not do so. It can convert currencies using its normal procedures. No Waiver No failure to exercise a power, and no delay in exercising a power, operates as a waiver. Waivers must be in writing. 9. Payments - general provisions Method of Payment Collins will make all payments at the address on the first page of this agreement or as specified by Westpac. Payments must be in cleared funds and free of any set-off or deduction, except for taxes where required by law. All payments will be made by 11am (local time) in the place of payment. Time of Payment Unless otherwise stated, amounts payable under the clauses below headed "Yield Protection" and "Additional Payments" are payable within 2 Business Days of demand. Default Interest Interest will accrue each day on each amount due but unpaid. The rate will be Westpac's advertised Reference Lending Rate (or any equivalent rate which is substituted for this rate from time to time) then applicable plus 2% per annum. That interest accrues before and after any judgment. Westpac may debit Collins's account with accrued interest under this paragraph on any day. If it does not do so more often it will be taken to have done so monthly. That interest will then itself bear interest. (C)Westpac Banking Corporation Page 8 Collins Restaurants Management Pty Ltd 10. Yield Protection Whenever Westpac determines that a Change in Law (as defined below) has the effect of: .. increasing its costs of funding or maintaining the facility, or reducing its return or amounts received in respect of the facility; or .. reducing its return on capital allocated to the facility (including because more capital needs to be allocated to the facility or cannot be used elsewhere), then Westpac will promptly notify Collins who must pay Westpac the amount Westpac certifies is necessary to compensate it. That certificate will give an outline of the calculation, and will be conclusive and bind Collins in the absence of manifest error. If Collins so requests, Westpac will negotiate in good faith with a view to finding a means of minimising the effect, but it is not a defence that the effect could have been avoided or minimised. A Change in Law is the introduction of, or a change in, any law, official directive, ruling or request or a change in its interpretation. If it does not have the force of law, it must be one with which responsible Australian banks would comply. Without limitation, it includes any of these circumstances which occurs with respect to capital adequacy, special deposit, liquidity, reserve, prime assets, tax or prudential requirements (except a change in tax on overall net income). 11. Additional Payments Indemnity and costs Collins will indemnify Westpac against any liability, loss, cost or expense (including legal costs on a full indemnity basis and including any goods and services tax or similar tax) it incurs in or as a result of a breach of its obligations, or actual or contemplated enforcement of this agreement and any security for this agreement. Collins will pay Westpac's reasonable external legal costs (including goods and services tax or similar tax) in relation to the preparation of this agreement and any security for this agreement, and any amendment of it, or any consent or waiver. Goods and Services Tax Notwithstanding any other provision of this agreement, any amount payable to Westpac under this agreement does not include any goods and services tax or similar tax by whatever name called (including GST as defined in A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999, as amended from time to time, (the "GST law")). Terms defined in the GST law have the same meaning in this agreement. (C)Westpac Banking Corporation Page 9 Collins Restaurants Management Pty Ltd To the extent that any supply under or in connection with this agreement by Westpac constitutes a taxable supply, the consideration payable will automatically be increased to include an additional amount on account of GST. That amount will be the product of the value of the consideration for the supply and the prevailing GST rate. Stamp Duty Collins will pay all stamp, transaction and other similar duties and charges in relation to this agreement, any bill of exchange made under it and any security and any transaction under them. This includes financial institutions duty and debits tax. Collins will also pay any fines and penalties unless they result from a failure by Westpac to lodge a document for stamping in sufficient time, having received from Collins the amount of stamp duty in good time. 12. General Statements of amounts due in evidence A written statement by Westpac as to any amount due under this agreement will be sufficient evidence of that amount unless Collins proves it wrong. Assignment Collins may not assign its rights under this agreement. Westpac may transfer any part of its rights and, with Collins' consent, obligations. Collins will not withhold that consent unreasonably. Westpac may disclose information to a potential transferee or sub-participant. Where Westpac wants to transfer any part of its obligations Collins will sign when requested by Westpac a document which will effect that transfer and which does not increase Collins's obligations. Westpac will bear its own costs and stamp duty on that document. Notices Notices, demands, statements, consents, requests, requirements and certificates (Notices) must be in writing. Except where they instruct Westpac in relation to a value transaction, they may be sent by facsimile, post or any other means to the recipient's address or number set out on the signature page or any other address or number notified to the sender by the recipient. Notices that instruct Westpac in relation to a value transaction may only be given by delivery of the original signed notice unless Westpac agrees otherwise. Notices will be taken to have been given if delivered or left at that address, on the dates on which they are delivered or left. Notices and Westpac Authorised Signatories Any Notice, or other communication by Westpac may be given by any person whose title includes the word manager, head, director, counsel or president, or any attorney authorised to do so. Any (C)Westpac Banking Corporation Page 10 Collins Restaurants Management Pty Ltd such person may sign bill of exchange on behalf of Westpac or (if Westpac is authorised to sign the Collins's bills of exchange), Collins. Notices and Collins Authorised Signatories All documents required to be signed by Collins under this agreement shall be signed on its behalf by one or more authorised signatories referred to in the verification certificate, or any other or additional authorised signatories subsequently appointed, whose names and specimen signatures have been notified to Westpac. Amendments to legislation referred to in this agreement A reference to legislation or to a provision of legislation includes a modification or re-enactment of it, a legislative provision substituted for it and a regulation or statutory instrument issued under it. Governing Law and Jurisdiction This agreement is governed by Queensland law. Collins accepts the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts having jurisdiction there. 13. Definitions In this agreement: Bill means a Bill of Exchange as defined in the Bills of Exchange Act 1909 which is, or is to be, accepted or discounted under this agreement or is taken to be accepted or discounted under this agreement (whether or not it physically exists).
