General Conditions Fourth Edition 2003:

This clause is deleted and replaced by the following:

Clause 9 (7) New AASB Standards.

Where you are required to comply with the New AASB Standards, we may, without prejudice to any other right under Clause 9, review the facilities (and the conditions on which they are made available) at any time from the date of your acceptance of this clause and further upon receipt by us of your first set of annual financial statements prepared in accordance with the New AASB Standards.

We will notify you of any such review in writing (an “AASB Review Notice”) and negotiate in good faith with you in conducting the review. Within 60 days of the date of the AASB Review Notice, we may give you written notice that we wish to change the terms and conditions on which the facilities will continue to be made available including, in particular, the pricing of the facilities and the financial undertakings or financial covenants applicable (the “AASB Amendment Notice”).

If you accept the changes set out in the AASB Amendment Notice, the changes will take effect from the date as specified in the AASB Amendment Notice. However, if you do not accept the changes within 30 days from the date of the AASB Amendment Notice, the facilities will be terminated and you must repay the facilities in full (in cleared funds) at the expiration of 60 days from the date of the AASB Amendment Notice.

New AASB Standards is defined to mean “The new accounting standards, for application by Australian entities after the 1st January 2005, and issued or to be issued after the date of this agreement by the Australian Accounting Standards Board, including standards based on the standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, which are expected to apply to Australian reporting entities”.

Excess fee:
 
If drawings are made to your account in excess of the agreed limit and we decide to pay those drawings, we may charge an excess fee of up to $150. This fee is to compensate us for costs we incur as a result of an excess. If charged this fee is payable on the date of the excess.

For the purposes of clause 8 of the General Conditions, the applicable rate of interest is the interest applicable to the facility on which the excess occurs or the facility on which an overdue amount occurs plus margin, plus 4% pa.
