Part 2 Standard Terms
2 | Grantor must pay the Secured Money |
The Grantor agrees to pay the Secured Money in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents.
3 | Security |
3.1 | Security Interest |
The Grantor grants a security interest in the Collateral to the Secured Party for the purpose of securing payment of the Secured Money. This security interest is a charge. If for any reason it is necessary to determine the nature of this charge, it is a floating charge over Revolving Assets and a fixed charge over all other Collateral.
The Grantor does this as trustee of the Trust.
3.2 | Consideration |
The Grantor acknowledges granting this security interest and incurring obligations and giving rights under this document for valuable consideration.
3.3 | Secured Money |
The Grantor agrees to pay the Secured Money in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents for the Trust.
3.4 | Limited recourse |
Clause 17 (“Indemnity and limitation of liability”) of the Master Trust Deed applies to this document as if it was fully set out in this document except that any reference to the “Trustee” is interpreted as a reference to the “Grantor” and any reference to “a Trust” is a reference to “the Trust”.
3.5 | Limitation of liability of Secured Party |
Clause 7 (“Secured Party indemnity and limitation of liability”) of the Security Trust Deed applies to this document as if it was fully set out in this document except that any reference to the “Secured Party” is interpreted as a reference to the “Secured Party”.
4 | Dealings - such as selling or granting other Encumbrances |
4.1 | Restricted dealings |
Unless the Grantor is expressly permitted to do so under the Transaction Documents for the Trust or the Secured Party (at the direction, by Extraordinary Resolution, of the Voting Secured Creditors) consents, the Grantor may not, and may not agree, attempt or take any step to, do any of the following:
(a) | create or allow another interest in any Collateral other than any Permitted Encumbrance; or |
(b) | dispose, or part with possession, of any Collateral, other than any Permitted Disposal. |
4.1 | Permitted dealings |
The Grantor may do any of the following in the ordinary course of the Grantor’s ordinary business unless it is prohibited from doing so by another provision in a Transaction Document:
(c) | create or allow another interest in, or dispose or part with possession of, any Collateral which is a Revolving Asset; or |
(d) | withdraw or transfer money from an account with a bank or other financial institution. |
4.2 | Revolving Assets |
If a Control Event occurs in respect of any Collateral then automatically:
(a) | that Collateral is not (and immediately ceases to be) a Revolving Asset; and |
(b) | any floating charge over that Collateral immediately operates as a fixed charge; and |
(c) | the Grantor may no longer deal with the Collateral under clause 4.2 (“Permitted dealings”). |
4.3 | Conversion to Revolving Assets |
If any Collateral is not, or ceases to be, a Revolving Asset, and becomes subject to a fixed charge or transfer under this clause, the Secured Party may (at the direction of an Extraordinary Resolution of Voting Secured Creditors) give the Grantor a notice stating that, from a date specified in the notice, the Collateral specified in the notice is a Revolving Asset, or becomes subject to a floating charge or is transferred back to the Grantor. This may occur any number of times.
4.4 | Where the law allows for creation of Encumbrance without consent |
If a law entitles the Grantor to create another Encumbrance over the Collateral without the consent of the Secured Party, this clause 4 (“Dealings – such as selling or granting other Encumbrances”) does not operate to require the Grantor to obtain the Secured Party’s consent before creating that other Encumbrance. However:
(a) | if the Grantor intends to create another Encumbrance, it agrees to notify the Secured Party at least seven days before it proposes to do so; and |
(b) | if the Secured Party requests an agreement under clause 5.1 (“Priority agreement”) and the Grantor has not complied with that request by the time the Encumbrance is created, financial accommodation need not be made available under any Transaction Document. |
This is without prejudice to any other rights the Secured Party may have under the Transaction Documents.
5 | Other Encumbrances |
5.1 | Priority agreement |
If the Secured Party asks, the Grantor agrees to obtain an agreement acceptable to the Secured Party regulating priority between this security interest and any other Encumbrance over the Collateral.
5.2 | Amount secured by other Encumbrance |
The Grantor agrees to ensure that the amount secured under any Encumbrance (other than any Permitted Encumbrance) over the Collateral is not increased without the Secured Party’s consent.
5.3 | Obligations under other Encumbrance |
The Grantor agrees to comply with all obligations under any other Encumbrance over the Collateral.
5.4 | Secured Party may rely on third party certificates |
The Secured Party may rely on a certificate from any other person with an Encumbrance over the Collateral as to the amount that is owed to that other person.
6 | Bank Account |
6.1 | Opening of Bank Accounts |
The Grantor agrees:
(a) | promptly after execution of this document, and at the direction of the Manager, to open the Collections Account, if it has not already been opened; and |
(b) | the signatories to the Collections Account are to comprise the Nominated Signatories, and the persons nominated by the Grantor (which may include the Grantor). Subject to clause 6.2 (“Operation of Bank Accounts”) and clause 6.3 (“Notice to Depositee after an Event of Default”), the Collections Account may be operated by two signatories nominated by the Grantor only, without any requirement for signature by a Nominated Signatory. The Secured Party agrees that each Nominated Signatory will be removed when there is no longer any Secured Money. |
6.2 | Operation of Bank Accounts |
The Grantor agrees that, if an Event of Default occurs:
(c) | the Collections Account may only be operated by two signatories, being two Nominated Signatories, without any requirement for signature by, or for, the Grantor; and |
(d) | the Secured Party may notify the Grantor that the Grantor is prohibited from making any withdrawals from the Collections Account. |
6.3 | Notice to Depositee after an Event of Default |
If an Event of Default has occurred, the Secured Party may give notice to the Depositee that the Collections Account may be operated by the signature only of two Nominated Signatories without any requirement for a signature by, or for, the Grantor. If this notice is given, the Grantor agrees that the Depositee:
(a) | need not enquire whether the Secured Party is in fact entitled to give such a notice; and |
(b) | is directed by the Grantor to act in accordance with the notice without reference to the Grantor. |
The Grantor acknowledges that any direction given under this clause cannot be revoked or varied by the Grantor except with the consent of the Secured Party.
7 | GST |
(e) | Unless expressly stated otherwise in this document, all amounts payable or consideration to be provided under this document are exclusive of GST. |
(f) | If GST is payable on any supply made under this document, for which the consideration is not expressly stated to include GST, the recipient agrees to pay to the supplier an additional amount equal to the GST at the same time that the consideration for the supply, or the first part of the consideration for the supply (as the case may be), is to be provided. However: |
(i) | the recipient need not pay the additional amount until the supplier gives the recipient a tax invoice or an adjustment note; and |
(ii) | if an adjustment event arises in respect of the supply, the additional amount must be adjusted to reflect the adjustment event and the recipient or the supplier (as the case may be) must make any payments necessary to reflect the adjustment; and |
(iii) | this clause 7 (“GST”) does not apply to the extent that the GST on the supply is payable by the recipient under Division 84 of the GST Act. |
(g) | If a party is required under this document to indemnify another party or pay or reimburse Costs of another party, the party agrees to pay the relevant amount less any input tax credits to which the other party (or to which the representative member for a GST group of which the other party is a member) is entitled. |
(h) | A term which has a defined meaning in the GST Law has the same meaning used in this clause 7 (“GST”). GST Law has the same meaning it has in the GST Act. |
8 | Application of payments |
8.1 | Application of money |
The Secured Party must apply money it receives under this document towards paying the Secured Money in accordance with the order of priority specified in the Security Trust Deed.
8.2 | Suspense account |
The Secured Party may place in a suspense account any payment it receives from the Grantor for as long as it considers prudent and need not apply it towards satisfying the Secured Money.
8.3 | Credit from date of receipt |
The Grantor is only credited with money from the date the Secured Party or the person to whom it has directed payment actually receives it (including, where the Secured Party has appointed a Receiver, the date the Receiver pays money to the Secured Party or the person to whom it has directed payment).
9 | Default |
9.1 | Grantor to ensure no Event of Default |
The Grantor agrees to ensure that there is no Event of Default in respect of the Trust. The Grantor is not liable in damages for breach of this clause 9.1 (“Grantor to ensure no Event of Default”) (including where the breach is also a breach of another clause and such breach will not of itself constitute fraud, negligence, or wilful default of the Grantor). However, if the Grantor breaches this clause 9.1 (“Grantor to ensure no Event of Default”), the Secured Party may exercise its rights in relation to the Collateral under this document and at law. This does not limit the Grantor’s other liabilities to the Secured Party or any of the Secured Party’s other rights against the Grantor or the Collateral.
9.2 | Secured Party’s powers on default |
If an Event of Default in respect of the Trust is continuing, subject to the Security Trust Deed, the Secured Party may (or if directed by the Voting Secured Creditors, must) do one or more of the following in addition to anything else the law allows the Secured Party to do as secured party:
(a) | ▇▇▇ the Grantor for the Secured Money; and |
(b) | appoint one or more Receivers to all or any part of the Collateral or its income; and |
(c) | do anything that a Receiver could do under clause 11.4 (“Receiver’s powers”). |
9.3 | Order of enforcement |
The Secured Party may (at the direction of the Voting Secured Creditors) enforce the Security before it enforces other rights or remedies:
(a) | against any other person; or |
(b) | under another document, such as another Encumbrance. |
If the Secured Party has more than one Encumbrance, it may enforce them in any order it chooses.
10 | Exclusion of time periods |
10.1 | No notice required unless mandatory |
Neither the Secured Party nor any Receiver need give the Grantor any notice or demand or allow time to elapse before exercising a right under this document or conferred by law (including a right to sell) unless the notice, demand or lapse of time is required by law and cannot be excluded.
10.2 | Mandatory notice period |
If the law requires that a period of notice must be given or a lapse of time must occur or be permitted before a right under this document or conferred by law may be exercised, then:
(c) | when a period of notice or lapse of time is mandatory, that period of notice must be given or that lapse of time must occur or be permitted by the Secured Party; or |
(d) | when the law provides that a period of notice or lapse of time may be stipulated or fixed by this document, then one day is stipulated and fixed as that period of notice or lapse of time including, if applicable, as the period of notice or lapse of time during which: |
(i) | an Event of Default in respect of the Trust must continue before a notice is given or requirement otherwise made for payment of the Secured Money or the observance of other obligations under this document; and |
(ii) | a notice or request for payment of the Secured Money or the observance of other obligations under this document must remain not complied with before the Secured Party or a Receiver may exercise rights. |
11 | Receivers |
11.1 | Terms of appointment of Receiver |
In exercising its power to appoint a Receiver, the Secured Party may:
(e) | appoint a Receiver to all or any part of the Collateral or its income; |
(f) | set a Receiver’s remuneration at any figure the Secured Party determines appropriate; and |
(g) | remove a Receiver and appoint a new or additional Receiver. |
11.2 | More than one Receiver |
If the Secured Party appoints more than one Receiver, the Secured Party may specify whether they may act individually or jointly.
11.3 | Receiver is Grantor’s agent |
Any Receiver appointed under this document is the Grantor’s agent unless the Secured Party notifies the Grantor that the Receiver is to act as the Secured Party’s agent. The Grantor is solely responsible for anything done, or not done, by a Receiver and for the Receiver’s remuneration and Costs.
11.4 | Receiver’s powers |
Unless the terms of appointment restrict a Receiver’s powers, the Receiver may do one or more of the following:
(a) | sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Collateral to which it is appointed or any interest in that Collateral; and |
(b) | lease or licence the Collateral to which it is appointed or any interest in that Collateral, or deal with any existing lease or licence (including allowing a surrender or variation); and |
(c) | take or give up possession of the Collateral to which it is appointed as often as it chooses; and |
(d) | sever, remove and sell fixtures attached to the Collateral to which it is appointed; and |
(e) | obtain registration of the Collateral in the Secured Party’s or its nominee’s name; and |
(f) | do anything else the law allows an owner or a Receiver of the Collateral to which it is appointed to do. |
12 | Disposal of the Collateral is final |
The Grantor agrees that if the Secured Party or a Receiver sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of the Collateral:
(a) | the Grantor will not challenge the acquirer’s right to acquire the Collateral (including on the ground that the Secured Party or the Receiver was not entitled to dispose of the Collateral or that the Grantor did not receive notice of the intended disposal) and the Grantor will not seek to reclaim that property; and |
(b) | the person who acquires the Collateral need not check whether the Secured Party or the Receiver has the right to dispose of the Collateral or whether the Secured Party or the Receiver exercises that right properly. |
13 | Power of attorney |
13.1 | Appointment |
The Grantor irrevocably appoints the Secured Party, each Authorised Officer of the Secured Party, and each Receiver individually as the Grantor’s attorney and agrees to ratify anything an Attorney does under clause 13.2 (“Powers”).
13.2 | Powers |
If an Event of Default in respect of the Trust is continuing, or the Secured Party reasonably believes that such an Event of Default is continuing, an Attorney may:
(g) | do anything which the Grantor can lawfully authorise an attorney to do in connection with this document or the Collateral, or which the Attorney believes is expedient to give effect to any of the Secured Party’s or a Receiver’s rights (these things may be done in the Grantor’s name or the Attorney’s name, and they include signing and delivering documents, transferring, selling or leasing Collateral, transferring, selling or surrendering any lease, lodging or withdrawing caveats and starting, conducting and defending legal proceedings and sending any instructions, messages or communications by which the Collateral can be transferred or otherwise dealt with); and |
(h) | delegate their powers (including this power) and revoke a delegation; and |
(i) | exercise their powers even if this involves a conflict of duty or they have a personal interest in doing so. |
14 | Reinstatement of rights |
Under law relating to Insolvency, a person may claim that a transaction (including a payment) in connection with the Secured Money is void or voidable. If a claim is made and upheld, conceded or compromised, then:
(j) | the Secured Party is immediately entitled as against the Grantor to the rights in respect of the Secured Money to which it was entitled immediately before the transaction; and |
(k) | on request from the Secured Party, the Grantor agrees to do anything (including signing any document) to restore to the Secured Party any Encumbrance (including the Security) it held from the Grantor immediately before the transaction. |
15 | Statutory powers and notices |
15.1 | Exclusion of PPSA provisions |
To the extent the law permits:
(a) | for the purposes of sections 115(1) and 115(7) of the PPSA: |
(i) | the Secured Party need not comply with sections 95, 118, 121(4), 125, 130, 132(3)(d) or 132(4); and |
(ii) | sections 142 and 143 are excluded; |
(b) | for the purposes of section 115(7) of the PPSA, the Secured Party need not comply with sections 132 and 137(3); |
(c) | if the PPSA is amended after the date of this document to permit the Grantor and the Secured Party to agree to not comply with or to exclude other provisions of the PPSA, the Secured Party may notify the Grantor that any of these provisions is excluded, or that the Secured Party need not comply with any of these provisions as notified to the Grantor by the Secured Party; and |
(d) | the Grantor agrees not to exercise its rights to make any request of the Secured Party under section 275 of the PPSA, to authorise the disclosure of any information under that section or to waive any duty of confidence that would otherwise permit non-disclosure under that section. |
15.2 | Exercise of rights by Secured Party |
If the Secured Party exercises a right, power or remedy in connection with this document, that exercise is taken not to be an exercise of a right, power or remedy under the PPSA unless the Secured Party states otherwise at the time of exercise. However, this clause does not apply to a right, power or remedy which can only be exercised under the PPSA.
15.3 | No notice required unless mandatory |
To the extent the law permits, the Grantor waives:
(a) | its rights to receive any notice that is required by: |
(i) | any provision of the PPSA (including a notice of a verification statement); or |
(ii) | any other law before a secured party or Receiver exercises a right, power or remedy; and |
(b) | any time period that must otherwise lapse under any law before a secured party or Receiver exercises a right, power or remedy. |
If the law which requires a period of notice or a lapse of time cannot be excluded, but the law provides that the period of notice or lapse of time may be agreed, that period or lapse is one day or the minimum period the law allows to be agreed (whichever is the longer).
However, nothing in this clause prohibits the Secured Party or any Receiver from giving a notice under the PPSA or any other law.
