The Authority may acquire from a participating vendor the rights of the vendor to the milk run in respect of which the vendor is authorised by the licence to sell dairy produce (the vendor’s “distribution rights” ).

s7 7 s9 Dairy Industry (Scheme for Restructuring Distribution) Order 1993 ˙ Calculation of consideration for acquisition 7. The Authority is to calculate the consideration for the acquisition of the distribution rights of a vendor by multiplying the average weekly literage by the calculated price per weekly litre of the milk run. ˙ Average weekly literage 8.(1) The average weekly literage on which the calculation of consideration is to be based is a quantity (expressed in litres per week), determined by the Authority, representing the average quantity per week of pasteurised milk sold by the vendor over the period beginning on 1 July 1992 and ending on 31 December 1992. (2) The Authority is to base its determination of the average weekly literage of a particular milk run on— (a) information about the volume of sales of pasteurised milk provided by the vendor; and (b) information about the volume of sales of pasteurised milk to the vendor provided by the processor that supplied the vendor with market milk. (3) If there is a discrepancy of more than 5% between the volume of sales indicated by the information supplied by the vendor and the information supplied by the processor, the Authority’s determination is to be based on the information provided by the processor unless the vendor produces documentary evidence corroborating the information provided by the vendor. ˙ Calculated price per weekly litre 9.(1) The calculated price per weekly litre of a milk run is to be determined as follows— (a) if— (i) the milk distribution business was purchased by the vendor since 1 January 1985; and

s9 8 s9 Dairy Industry (Scheme for Restructuring Distribution) Order 1993 (ii) it is possible to determine a price per weekly litre for the milk run on the basis of the consideration for the sale, and the average weekly literage as at the time of the sale; the calculated price per weekly litre is to be an amount determined by the Authority on the basis of the consideration for the sale and the average weekly literage as at the time of the sale; (b) in any other case—the calculated price per weekly litre is to be the relevant regional average price per weekly litre of milk runs in the region determined by the Authority on the basis of the consideration paid for milk distribution businesses sold since 1 January 1985 in the relevant region and the average weekly literage of each business as at the time of sale. (2) In determining— (a) the calculated price per weekly litre of a particular milk run; or (b) the average price per weekly litre of milk runs within a particular region on the basis of the consideration for a milk distribution business or milk distribution businesses sold since 1 January 1985; the Authority must disregard any component of the consideration referable to premises, plant, equipment or vehicles, and if the contract of sale does not differentiate between the value of the milk run and the value of premises, plant, equipment or vehicles, the Authority may have a valuation made, or make an estimate, of the value of premises, plant, equipment and vehicles. (3) If the Authority considers it appropriate to do so, the Authority may assign an arbitrary value to plant, equipment or vehicles under subsection (2). (4) The Authority may base its determination of the average weekly literage of a milk run at the time of sale on information shown in an application for the grant or transfer of a vendor’s licence in relation to the relevant milk run or if there is in the Authority’s opinion some good reason for not making its determination on that basis— (a) the estimated weekly literage as shown in the contract of sale (but the determination is not to be based on the contract if the

s 10 9 s 10 Dairy Industry (Scheme for Restructuring Distribution) Order 1993 purchaser establishes a variance of more than 5% between the weekly literage as shown in the contract and the actual average weekly literage); or (b) the quantities of pasteurised milk sold to the holder of the vendor’s licence in the period preceding the date of the sale as recorded by the relevant processor; or (c) the quantities of pasteurised milk sold to the holder of the vendor’s licence in the period of 4 weeks following the date of the sale as recorded by the relevant processor. ˙ Notification of calculated consideration to vendors 10.(1) After the Authority determines the calculated consideration for the distribution rights of a vendor, the Authority must give the vendor written notice of its determination and offer to acquire the vendor’s distribution rights under this order on the basis of that calculated consideration. (2) A vendor must within 7 days after receiving the Authority’s offer indicate, by written notice to the Authority, whether the vendor desires to participate in the scheme. (3) If— (a) the Authority made an offer to a vendor in anticipation of this order; and (b) the vendor, after receiving the offer, but before the commencement of this order— (i) gave written notice to the Authority of a desire to participate in the scheme; or (ii) gave written or oral notice to the Authority of a desire not to participate in the scheme; no notice or offer to the vendor is required of the Authority under subsection (1), and no notice is required of the vendor under subsection (2). (4) If a participating vendor is not satisfied that the consideration offered by the Authority has been correctly determined, the vendor may apply for a review of the calculated consideration.

s 11 10 s 12 Dairy Industry (Scheme for Restructuring Distribution) Order 1993 (5) The review is to be conducted by a committee established for the purpose by the Authority. (6) On the review the review committee may confirm or vary the Authority’s determination. ˙ Notice of acquisition 11.(1) The Authority may, by notice of acquisition given to a participating vendor, acquire the vendor’s distribution rights. (2) The acquisition takes effect (and the distribution rights vest, by force of this order, in the Authority) on a date stated in the notice. ˙ General condition of offers and notices of acquisition 12.(1) Any offer made by the Authority for the acquisition of a vendor’s distribution rights (either in anticipation of this order or under this order), and any notice of acquisition issued under this order, is subject to a condition precedent that the Authority will succeed in raising the loan finance that it requires for carrying the scheme into effect on terms that the Authority considers satisfactory. (2) The Authority may, by gazette notice, rescind— (a) all offers made by the Authority (before or after the commencement of this order) for the acquisition of vendors’ distribution rights; and (b) the notices of acquisition (if any) issued under this order; on the ground that the Authority has not succeeded in raising the loan finance that it requires for carrying the scheme into effect on terms that the Authority considers satisfactory. (3) A notice under subsection (2)— (a) rescinds an offer (even though the offer may have been accepted by a vendor), and extinguishes any rights that might otherwise have been founded on the offer or on its acceptance; and

s 13 11 s 14 Dairy Industry (Scheme for Restructuring Distribution) Order 1993 (b) rescinds all notices of acquisition issued under this order before the date of the notice, and extinguishes any rights that might otherwise have been founded on the notices. ˙ Payments to participating vendors 13.(1) The consideration for the distribution rights of participating vendors is to be paid as follows— (a) a payment equivalent to 69.7752% of the calculated consideration is to be paid within 14 days after the date of acquisition specified in the notice of acquisition; (b) the balance of the consideration is to be paid on or about 31 March 1994. (2) However, if the funds available to the Authority for the purpose of acquiring distribution rights from participating vendors are insufficient to pay the whole of the balance of the calculated consideration, there is to be a rateable reduction in the second payment to be made to participating vendors under subsection (1) and a corresponding reduction in the calculated consideration payable for the distribution rights of participating vendors. (3) A determination by the Authority of the amount of the funds available to the Authority for the acquisition of distribution rights is to be taken, in any legal proceedings, as conclusive evidence of the amount. (4) The Authority may defer a payment to a participating vendor who has not paid all amounts due to a processor until the Authority is satisfied that the vendor has paid the amounts or has entered into an arrangement with the processor for the payment of the amounts. ˙ Mortgages and charges 14.(1) If a licence is subject to a mortgage or charge, the mortgage or charge extends to the vendor’s entitlement to payment for distribution rights, conferred by the licence, that are acquired under this order.

s 15 12 s 15 Dairy Industry (Scheme for Restructuring Distribution) Order 1993 (2) If the Authority has notice of a mortgage or charge to which a vendor’s entitlement is subject under this section, the Authority must not make the payment to the vendor unless— (a) the holder of the mortgage or charge consents; or (b) the Authority is satisfied that the vendor has extended the mortgage or charge, or granted a fresh mortgage or charge, over a licence of equal or greater value; or (c) a Magistrates Court orders the payment under subsection (3). (3) A Magistrates Court may, on the application of the Authority or any other interested person, resolve any question about the payment of money under an entitlement affected by a mortgage or charge, and make any consequential orders that may be appropriate in the circumstances of the particular case. † PART 3—RESTRUCTURING OF MILK RUNS ˙ Restructuring of milk runs 15.(1) The Authority is to restructure the distribution rights acquired under this order to form milk runs of the following categories— (a) Category A—a milk run consisting of a list of supermarkets to which the vendor who holds a vendor’s licence in respect of the milk run is authorised to sell dairy produce; (b) Category B—a milk run consisting of a list of businesses (not including supermarkets) to which the vendor who holds a vendor’s licence in respect of the milk run is authorised to sell dairy produce; (c) Category C—a milk run consisting of either or both of— (i) a list of streets or a residential area defined in some other way in which the vendor who holds a vendor’s licence in respect of the milk run is authorised to sell dairy produce; or

s 16 13 s 16 Dairy Industry (Scheme for Restructuring Distribution) Order 1993 (ii) a list of businesses that are small commercial consumers of dairy produce to which the vendor who holds a vendor’s licence in respect of the milk run is authorised to sell dairy produce; (d) Category D—a milk run consisting of a combination of the above categories or any 2 of those categories. (2) For the purposes of subsection (1)(c), a business is a small commercial consumer of dairy produce if the business— (a) buys not more than 80 L of pasteurised milk per week; and (b) does not regularly sell milk in the form in which it is purchased to genuine retail sale customers. Example of a small commercial consumer — A club that buys less than 80 L of milk per week and occasionally sells some of the milk to its members in the form in which it is purchased. ˙ Leasing of restructured milk runs 16.(1) On completing the restructuring of milk runs, the Authority is to offer the restructured milk runs for lease. (2) The term of any such lease is to extend from the date of the lease until 31 December 1998. (3) The annual rental for leases of the restructured milk runs is to be determined by offering the leases at a public auction but if the bids at the auction for a particular milk run do not reach a reserve determined by the Authority, the Authority may re-offer the lease by public auction or lease the milk run for an annual rental determined by private agreement with a prospective lessee. (4) However, the annual rental payable by a lessee of a milk run of Category C may be determined by private agreement with the prospective lessee without offering the milk run for lease at a public auction. (5) The aggregate rental for a milk run is to be payable in advance, in accordance with terms, determined by the Authority, on which the milk run is offered for lease.

s 17 14 s 18 Dairy Industry (Scheme for Restructuring Distribution) Order 1993 (6) The Authority is to compile a catalogue of the restructured milk runs to be offered at public auction and copies of the catalogue are to be available to interested members of the public before the auction without charge. (7) The Authority is to advertise an auction under this section to ensure that the public is given reasonable notice of the auction. † PART 4—CANCELLATION AND REISSUE OF VENDORS’ LICENCES ˙ Cancellation of vendors’ licences 17.(1) All vendors’ licences issued before a date (the “restructuring date” ) determined by the Authority for the purposes of this section are, by force of this section, to be cancelled. (2) The date or dates on which the cancellation is to take effect are to be determined by the Authority. ˙ Reclassification and reissue of licences 18.(1) After the restructuring date, licences are to be classified as follows— (a) Class A—licences issued in respect of Category A milk runs; (b) Class B—licences issued in respect of Category B milk runs; (c) Class C—licences issued in respect of Category C milk runs; (d) Class D—licences issued in respect of Category D milk runs; (e) Class E—licences of nonparticipating vendors (other than nonparticipating vendors authorised to sell only unpasteurised milk and unpasteurised cream); (f) Class F—licences of nonparticipating vendors authorised to sell only unpasteurised milk and unpasteurised cream.

s 19 15 s 19 Dairy Industry (Scheme for Restructuring Distribution) Order 1993 (2) The Authority is to reissue licences of the appropriate classes to persons who have agreed to lease the restructured milk runs and to the nonparticipating vendors. † PART 5—FINANCING OF RESTRUCTURING SCHEME † Division 1—General ˙ Financing of restructuring scheme 19.(1) The restructuring scheme is to be financed— (a) from rentals received from the leasing of the restructured milk runs; and (b) from income received by the Authority because of a condition of a price fixing order made under section 28(5) of the Act for the purpose of financing the restructuring scheme; and (c) from amounts borrowed by the Authority to finance the restructuring scheme; and (d) from any other amount that the Authority allocates to financing the scheme. (2) The income of the Authority under subsection (1)(a) and (b), and any amount allocated to financing the scheme under subsection (1)(d)— (a) is to be paid into a sinking fund account established by the Authority for the purpose; and (b) is to be applied towards— (i) the costs of implementing and administering the restructuring scheme; and (ii) the Authority’s obligations for borrowings made to finance the restructuring scheme.

s 20 16 s 21 Dairy Industry (Scheme for Restructuring Distribution) Order 1993 † Division 2—Borrowing from the National Australia Bank ˙ Raising of loan from NAB 20.(1) For the purpose of financing the restructuring scheme, the Authority may raise a capital sum (not exceeding $60 million) by way of loan or bill finance accommodation under a financial arrangement with National Australia Bank Ltd ( “NAB” ). (2) The Authority may issue debentures or grant any other form of security to secure its obligations under the financial arrangement. (3) In particular, the Authority may, as part of the financial arrangement with NAB, enter into a deed, in the terms of schedule 2, creating a charge over assets of the Authority. (4) The charge has priority over any other mortgage, charge or other security affecting the same assets. (5) If— (a) the Authority defaults in complying with its obligations under the financial arrangement; and (b) NAB appoints a receiver under the financial arrangement because of the default; the receiver may exercise the Authority’s powers to the extent provided in the financial arrangement as if the receiver were entitled to do so under an irrevocable power of attorney granted by the Authority. ˙ Non-derogation 21. This division is in addition to, and does not limit, powers that the Authority has apart from this division.

s 22 17 s 22 Dairy Industry (Scheme for Restructuring Distribution) Order 1993 † PART 6—INFORMATION TO BE PROVIDED TO AUTHORITY ˙ Obligation to provide information 22.(1) A participating vendor must, at the request of the Authority, provide the Authority with— (a) full particulars of the vendor’s milk run, including a map showing the location of any businesses or institutions to which, and any streets in which, the vendor supplies pasteurised milk; and (b) details of the aggregate quantity of pasteurised milk sold under the vendor’s licence for the period beginning on 1 July 1992 and ending on 31 December 1992; and (c) details of the quantities of pasteurised milk sold under the vendor’s licence to— (i) wholesalers; and (ii) supermarkets; and (iii) institutions; and (iv) any other person other than an occupant of residential premises to whom milk is sold and delivered at those premises; over a period specified in the request; and (d) the name of the processor from which the vendor obtained supplies of pasteurised milk; and (e) copies of any accounts or invoices relating to the acquisition of pasteurised milk for sale under the vendor’s licence; and (f) any other information specified in the request.

42 Dairy Industry (Scheme for Restructuring Distribution) Order 1993 SCHEDULE 2 (continued) 15.4 The Chargor agrees to pay to the Chargee an amount equal to any liability, loss, costs, charges or expenses of the kind referred to in clause 15.3 suffered or incurred by any Receiver, any attorney appointed under this charge or any employee, officer, agent or contractor of the Chargee or any Receiver or attorney appointed under this charge. 15.5 If a judgment, order or proof of debt in connection with the Secured Money is expressed in a currency other than the currency in which the Secured Money is due, then the Chargor indemnifies the Chargee against— (a) any difference arising from converting the other currency if the spot rate of exchange for converting the other currency into the due currency available to the Chargee when the Chargee receives a payment in the other currency is less favourable to the Chargee than the rate of exchange used for the purpose of the judgment, order or acceptance of proof of debt; and (b) the costs of conversion. The Chargor acknowledges that it may be necessary to convert the other currency through more than one currency to ascertain the spot rate of exchange available to the Chargee. 15.6 Anything which the Chargor is required to do under this charge must be done at the Chargor’s cost. 15.7 The amounts referred to in clause 15.1 are not payable to the extent that they are due to the wilful misconduct or negligence of the Chargee, receiver or attorney appointed under this Deed.

43 Dairy Industry (Scheme for Restructuring Distribution) Order 1993 SCHEDULE 2 (continued) 16. APPLICATION OF MONEY 16.1 Subject to clause 16.4 and to the extent permitted by law, money received in connection with this charge is to be applied (after satisfaction of claims taking priority over this charge) as follows— (a) first, towards satisfaction of amounts which become owing or payable under clauses 15.1, 15.2, 15.3, 15.4 or 15.5 (except the Receiver’s remuneration); (b) secondly, towards satisfaction of the Receiver’s remuneration; (c) thirdly, towards satisfaction of the balance of the Secured Money in the manner and order which the Chargee determines in its absolute discretion; and (d) fourthly, to the extent not otherwise applied, to the Chargor or any other person entitled to it. (In particular, the Chargee may pay the balance of the money to a person with a subsequent Security Interest in the Secured Property whether registered or not, or may pay it into court by way of interpleader without incurring liability to the Chargor.) 16.2 Money available for application under clause 16.1(d) will not bear interest. The Chargee may discharge its liability to account for it by crediting it to an account in its books in the name of the person to whom it is payable, or by paying it into court. 16.3 In an application of money under clause 16.1 the Chargor is to be credited only with so much of that money as is actually received by the Chargee. The credit dates from the time of receipt. This provision applies even if in exercising a power of sale the Chargee or a Receiver transfers the Secured Property and takes a Security Interest to secure the unpaid balance of purchase money. 16.4 If the Chargee receives money in connection with this charge when part of the Secured Money is contingently owing or falls within

44 Dairy Industry (Scheme for Restructuring Distribution) Order 1993 SCHEDULE 2 (continued) paragraph (d) of the definition of “Secured Money”, then the Chargee may deposit an amount not exceeding that part in an interest-bearing deposit account on terms which the Chargee thinks fit with any person (including, without limitation, the Chargee and any of its Related Entities) until that part becomes actually payable or no longer falls within the definition of “Secured Money”. At that time the Chargee may retain for its own account the amount which is then actually payable to it. The balance is to be paid in accordance with clause 16.1. 16.5 If during the currency of a notice under clause 14.4— (a) an instalment of principal or interest forming part of the Secured Money falls due for payment by the Chargor; and (b) the Chargee receives money or allows a credit under this charge; then the Chargee may apply that money or credit first in satisfaction of the instalment, and secondly towards satisfaction of money specified in the notice. 17. RELEASE The Chargee agrees to execute a release of the Secured Property from this charge at the request of the Chargor on payment of all of the Secured Money including, without limitation, Secured Money falling within paragraph (d) of the definition of “Secured Money”. 18. PRESERVATION OF CHARGEE’S RIGHTS 18.1 The liabilities under this charge of the Chargor and the rights under this charge of the Chargee, a Receiver or an attorney appointed under this charge are not affected by anything which might otherwise affect them at law or in equity including, without limitation, one or more of the following (whether occurring with or without the consent of a person)— (a) the Chargee or another person granting time or other indulgence (with or without the imposition of an additional burden) to,

45 Dairy Industry (Scheme for Restructuring Distribution) Order 1993 SCHEDULE 2 (continued) compounding or compromising with, or wholly or partially releasing the Chargor or another person in any way; (b) laches, acquiescence, delay, acts, omissions or mistakes on the part of the Chargee or another person or both the Chargee and another person; (c) any variation or novation of a right of the Chargee or another person, or material alteration of a document, in respect of the Chargor or another person including, without limitation, an increase in the limit of or other variation in connection with the Secured Money; (d) the transaction of business, expressly or impliedly, with, for or at the request of the Chargor or another person; (e) changes which from time to time may take place in the membership, name or business of a firm, partnership, committee or association whether by death, retirement, admission or otherwise whether or not the Chargor or another person was a member; (f) the loss or impairment of a Collateral Security or a negotiable instrument; (g) a Security Interest being void, voidable or unenforceable; (h) a person dealing in any way with a Security Interest, guarantee, judgment or negotiable instrument (including, without limitation, taking, abandoning or releasing (wholly or partially), realising, exchanging, varying, abstaining from perfecting or taking advantage of it); (i) the death of any person or an Insolvency Event occurring in respect of any person; (j) a change in the legal capacity, rights or obligations of a person; (k) the fact that a person is a trustee, nominee, joint owner, joint venturer or a member of a partnership, firm or association;

46 Dairy Industry (Scheme for Restructuring Distribution) Order 1993 SCHEDULE 2 (continued) (l) a judgment against the Chargor or another person; (m) the receipt of a dividend after an Insolvency Event or the payment of a sum or sums into the account of the Chargor or another person at any time (whether received or paid jointly, jointly and severally or otherwise); (n) any part of the Secured Money being irrecoverable; (o) an assignment or rights in connection with the Secured Money; (p) the acceptance of repudiation or other termination in connection with the Secured Money; (q) the invalidity or unenforceability of an obligation or liability of a person other than the Chargor; (r) invalidity or irregularity in the execution of this charge by the Chargor or any deficiency in the powers of the Chargor to enter into or observe its obligations under this charge; (s) the opening of a new account by the Chargor with the Chargee or another person or the operation of a new account; (t) any obligation of the Chargor or any other person being discharged by operation of law or otherwise; or (u) property secured under a Security Interest being forfeited, extinguished, surrendered, resumed, or determined. 18.2 The Chargee’s right to payment of the Secured Money arising in any way (including, without limitation, under a negotiable instrument or another contract with the Chargor) does not merge with the Chargor’s undertaking to pay the Secured Money under this charge. 18.3 This charge does not merge with, postpone, lessen or otherwise prejudicially affect any other Security Interest to which the Chargee is entitled.

47 Dairy Industry (Scheme for Restructuring Distribution) Order 1993 SCHEDULE 2 (continued) 18.4 The Chargee will hold a judgment or order which the Chargee obtains against the Chargor in respect of the Secured Money collaterally with this charge, and this charge will not merge in the judgment or order. 18.5 The Chargee may demand payment of the Secured Money and exercise its rights, powers and remedies under this charge even if a negotiable instrument, security, contract or other obligation relating to the Secured Money is still current or has not fallen due. 18.6 This charge is a continuing security despite any intervening payment, settlement of account or other thing until a release has been executed and given to the Chargor. 18.7 This charge does not affect a Collateral Security or any other right, power or remedy of the Chargee at law or in equity. 18.8 Until this charge is released in respect of the relevant Secured Property the Chargee may retain all instruments and documents of title deposited under clause 7.1(h). 18.9 The Chargee need not resort to any other Security Interest it holds for payment of the Secured Money before it resorts to this charge. 18.10 A purchaser from or other person dealing with the Chargee, or any Receiver, or any attorney appointed under this charge or a person to whom is tendered for registration an instrument duly executed by any of them need not inquire— (a) whether the Secured Money is in fact owing or payable; or (b) whether default has occurred; or (c) whether a right, power or remedy which they have exercised or purported to exercise has been properly exercised; or

48 Dairy Industry (Scheme for Restructuring Distribution) Order 1993 SCHEDULE 2 (continued) (d) whether a Receiver has been properly appointed; or (e) about any other thing in connection with the exercise or purported exercise of a right, power or remedy. The title of any person relying on this clause is not affected by express or constructive notice of anything in connection with the matters referred to in clauses 18.10(a) to (e) (inclusive). 18.11 The liability of the Chargor under this charge is not affected because— (a) any other person who was intended to become a co-surety or co-indemnifier for payment of the Secured Money has not done so or has not done so effectively; or (b) a person who is a co-surety or co-indemnifier for payment of the Secured Money is discharged under an agreement or under statute or a principle of law or equity. 18.12 If a claim is made that all or part of a payment, obligation, settlement, transaction, conveyance or transfer in connection with the Secured Money is void or voidable under law relating to Insolvency Events or the protection of creditors, or for any other reason and the claim is upheld, conceded or compromised, then— (a) the Chargee is entitled immediately as against the Chargor to the rights in respect of the Secured Money to which it would have been entitled if all or that part of that payment, obligation, settlement, transaction, conveyance or transfer had not taken place; and (b) the Chargor agrees to do any act and sign any document promptly on request from the Chargee to restore to the Chargee any Security Interest or guarantee held by it from the Chargor immediately before that payment, obligation, settlement, transaction, conveyance or transfer.

49 Dairy Industry (Scheme for Restructuring Distribution) Order 1993 SCHEDULE 2 (continued) 19. POWER OF ATTORNEY 19.1 The Chargor irrevocably appoints the Chargee, each Authorised Officer of the Chargee, and each Receiver severally its attorneys. 19.2 Each attorney may— (a) in the name of the Chargor or the attorney do anything which the Chargor may lawfully authorise an attorney to do in connection with this charge or the Secured Property or which in the attorney’s opinion is necessary or expedient to give effect to any right, power or remedy conferred on the Chargee or a Receiver by this charge, by law or otherwise, (including, without limitation, executing deeds and instituting, conducting and defending legal proceedings); and (b) delegate its powers (including, without limitation, this power of delegation) to any person for any period and may revoke a delegation; and (c) exercise or concur in exercising its powers even if the attorney has a conflict of duty in exercising its powers or has a direct or personal interest in the means or result of that exercise of powers; and (d) not exercise its rights under this Power of Attorney until after— (i) the Chargee has made demand on the Chargor for payment of the secured money; or (ii) an event of default occurs. 19.3 The Chargor agrees to ratify anything done by an attorney or its delegate in accordance with clause 19.2.

50 Dairy Industry (Scheme for Restructuring Distribution) Order 1993 SCHEDULE 2 (continued) 19.4 Notwithstanding clause 19.2, an attorney or its delegate may not exercise any rights, powers and remedies of the Chargor over, in connection with or comprising part of the Secured Property or manage the Secured Property without first consulting with the Chargor. 20.

The Chargee at any time may do any of those things as the Chargee sees fit. 23.

A single or partial exercise of a right, power or remedy by the person does not prevent a further exercise or that or an exercise of any other right, power or remedy. Failure by the person to exercise or delay in exercising a right, power or remedy does not prevent its exercise. The person with the right, power or remedy is not liable for any loss caused by its exercise, attempted exercise, failure to exercise or delay in exercising it whether by reason of its negligence or otherwise. Waiver and variation 23.3 A provision of or a right created under this charge may not be waived or varied except in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound.

Approvals and consent 23.5 The Chargee, a Receiver or an attorney appointed under this charge may give conditionally or unconditionally or withhold its approval or consent in its absolute discretion, unless this charge expressly provides otherwise.

53 Dairy Industry (Scheme for Restructuring Distribution) Order 1993 SCHEDULE 2 (continued) Remedies cumulative 23.6 The rights, powers and remedies provided in this charge are cumulative with and not exclusive of the rights, powers or remedies provided by law independently of this charge.

The Chargor authorises the Chargee in the name of the Chargor or the Chargee to do anything (including, without limitation, to execute any document) that is required for that purpose. Notwithstanding any other provision in this charge, the Agreement or any other agreement, if a creditor of the Chargor would or might be entitled to claim any interest in the Secured Property ranking ahead of the interest of the Chargee therein— (a) the Chargee shall be entitled to set-off the Sinking Fund Account against any amount then payable by the Chargor to the Chargee under this charge or the Agreement; and (b) the Chargee shall be under no legal or other obligation to repay all or any part of the moneys in the Sinking Fund Account to the Chargor or any creditor of the Chargor; and (c) the Chargee shall not be obliged to pay any interest to the Chargor in respect of the Sinking Fund Account. The Chargor acknowledges to the Chargee that the amounts to be set-off under this clause 23.7 are mutual debts and credits and are closely interconnected, and arise as part of the one transaction between them. The Chargor agrees that its right, title and interest in the Secured Property is incapable of being assigned, encumbered or otherwise dealt with by the Chargor.

54 Dairy Industry (Scheme for Restructuring Distribution) Order 1993 SCHEDULE 2 (continued) Indemnities 23.8 Each indemnity in this charge is a continuing obligation, separate and independent from the other obligations of the Chargor and survives termination of this charge.

Time of the essence 23.9 Time is of the essence of this charge in respect of an obligation of the Chargor to pay money. Confidentiality 23.10 All information provided to the Chargee by the Chargor under this Charge is confidential to the Chargee, its employees, legal advisers, auditors and other consultants and may not be disclosed to any person except— (a) with the consent of the Chargor (which consent is not to be unreasonably withheld); or (b) if allowed or required by law or required by any stock exchange; or (c) in connection with legal proceedings relating to this charge; or (d) if the information is generally and publicly available; or (e) to a potential assignee, participant or sub-participant of the Chargee’s interests under this charge or to any other person who is considering entering into contractual relations with the Chargee in connection with this charge; or (f) to any person if the Chargee considers it necessary to do so in order to exercise its power of sale without contravening the law.

55 Dairy Industry (Scheme for Restructuring Distribution) Order 1993 SCHEDULE 2 (continued) Receipts 23.11 The receipt of a Receiver or an Authorised Officer of the Chargee releases the person paying money to the Receiver or the Chargee in connection with this charge from— (a) liability to enquire whether the Secured Money has become payable; and (b) liability for the money paid or expressed to be received; and (c) being concerned to see to its application or being answerable or accountable for its loss or misapplication. 24. GOVERNING LAW, JURISDICTION AND SERVICE OF PROCESS 24.1 This Charge is governed by the law in force in Queensland. 24.2 Each party irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Queensland and courts of appeal from them.
