Fixed rate advances

	a)		request
			Where the Borrower wishes to raise a fixed rate Advance for all or any part of the Commitment, the Borrower may, on giving Westpac NZ not less than 5 Banking Days’ written notice, request Westpac NZ to set a fixed rate for:

	i)		the fixed rate Advance which it wishes to drawdown, being at least $100,000 and being equal to or less than the Available Commitment; and

	d)		interest

	i)		Interest on each fixed rate Advance will be calculated at the Fixed Rate for that Advance on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a 365 day year. Interest will accrue from day to day from the date the fixed rate Advance is drawn down until the Advance is repaid in full, and must be paid by consecutive monthly payments on each Interest Payment Date.
	ii)		The first interest payment on a fixed rate Advance will be due and payable on the Interest Payment Date which immediately follows the drawdown date of the fixed rate Advance. Each payment will be for the period beginning on the drawdown date or the previous Interest Payment Date (as the case may be) and ending on (but excluding) the next Interest Payment Date.
	iii)		The principal amount of each fixed rate Advance, together with all unpaid interest accrued, will be payable by the Borrower to Westpac NZ at the end of the Fixed Rate Period of that Advance.

	e)		prepayment
			The Borrower has no right to repay a fixed rate Advance other than at the end of the Fixed Rate Period for that Advance. Westpac NZ may nevertheless accept any prepayment. However if it does, the Borrower must, at the time of the prepayment, pay to Westpac NZ any losses, costs, penalties and expenses certified by Westpac NZ to have been sustained or incurred as a consequence of the prepayment.

3.4

Alternative currency advances

	a)		notice
			Not less than 5 Banking Days prior to any Banking Day on which the Borrower wishes to draw the Commitment or any part of it by way of an Alternative Currency Advance, the Borrower must deliver to Westpac NZ a drawdown notice signed by an authorised signatory setting out:

	i)		the amount of the Advance which it wishes to drawdown in the Alternative Currency in which the Advance is to be denominated, being $100,000 or a higher integral multiple of $100,000 and the Dollar Equivalent of the Advance being equal to or less than the Available Commitment and not exceeding a maximum amount of $1,500,000 (Alternative Currency Limit);

	iii)		details of the term of the Advance which must be a period of 30, 60, 90 or 180 days or another term Westpac NZ and the Borrower may agree but so that the term selected expires on or before the Termination Date; and
	iv)		the account of the Borrower to which the proceeds of the Alternative Currency Advance are to be credited.
	The drawdown notice will be unconditional and irrevocable.

b)

interest and repayment

	i)		The Borrower must pay Westpac NZ interest on each Alternative Currency Advance in arrears on the last day of the term of the Advance together with the principal amount of the Advance.
	ii)		Interest on each Alternative Currency Advance will accrue at Westpac NZ’s Offer Rate (calculated on the basis of a 360 day year unless pounds sterling or Hong Kong dollars are selected in which case it shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 day year) plus the Margin and be calculated from day to day beginning on and including the first day of the term of the relevant Alternative Currency Advance and ending on, but excluding, the last day of that term.

	c)		top up
			If at any time Westpac NZ, in its absolute discretion, determines that either the Principal Outstanding exceeds the Commitment, or the Alternative Currency Advance exceeds the Alternative Currency Limit (the amount of the excess called the “Shortfall”) then, without prejudice to any other rights which Westpac NZ may have under this Agreement, Westpac NZ may, in its discretion, give notice to the Borrower requiring the Borrower within 5 Banking Days to do any of the following;

	i)		provide Westpac NZ with additional security with a value (in the opinion of Westpac NZ) of not less than the Shortfall, which security is to be, in form and substance, satisfactory to Westpac NZ;
	ii)		deposit in an account with Westpac NZ, in the currency Westpac NZ specifies, cash deposits in cleared funds equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the Shortfall, which deposits, subject to the prior written consent of Westpac NZ, will be incapable of assignment or of being the subject of a Security Interest or of being withdrawn by the Borrower until all obligations (present and future, direct and contingent) of the Borrower under the Bank Documents have been performed and satisfied; or
	iii)		repay in the Alternative Currency or Dollars to Westpac NZ an amount equal or equivalent to the Shortfall.

d)

funding risk and non-availability

i)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Westpac NZ at any time determines (which determination will be conclusive and binding on the Borrower) for any reason including:

	1)		any change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions, currency exchange rates, currency availability or exchange controls; or
	2)		the occurrence of an event or contingency which materially and adversely affects any interbank market, or any relevant foreign exchange market generally;

			that the making or continuation of an Alternative Currency Advance is impracticable, impossible or adversely affects the return to Westpac NZ, then Westpac NZ will as soon as practicable give written notice to the Borrower.
	ii)		During a period (“the Grace Period”) of 30 days from the giving of notice under clause 3.5(d)(i) or such shorter period (including a nil period) as Westpac NZ may reasonably consider to be appropriate in the particular circumstances, Westpac NZ will negotiate with the Borrower a mutually acceptable alternative basis to make (or continue to make) the Facility available. Should there be no alternative basis acceptable to both parties, the right of the Borrower to borrow any Alternative Currency Advance under the Facility will be terminated and the Borrower must repay any part of the Commitment already provided under the Facility pursuant to any Alternative Currency Advance (together with accrued interest and such amounts as may be necessary to compensate Westpac NZ for any losses or expenses of liquidation of or re-employing fixed deposits) within 14 days from the end of the Grace Period.

3.5

	b)		authority to tape calls

	b)		as a result Westpac NZ is required to increase its payment, or makes an additional payment, to that person or to a taxation authority,

		then the Borrower will indemnify and hold Westpac NZ harmless against that increased or additional payment and must, on demand by Westpac NZ, pay to Westpac NZ the amount which, after receiving that amount and making that increased or additional payment, will place Westpac NZ in the same position in which it would have been had no increased or additional payment been made.

8.4		Financial Covenants
		It undertakes that while any of Westpac NZ’s Facilities remain in place it will ensure that:

a)

Interest Cover

its EBIT for each financial year is not less than 1.75 times its Funding Costs for that financial year at all times (tested only at 31 December and 31 March (annually) on a 12 month rolling basis), provided that:

i)

on 31 December 2009, EBIT will be measured for the period 1 April 2009 to 31 December 2009 and annualised; and

ii)

Total Bank Interest shall be calculated on an annualised basis for the first 12 months after settlement and thereafter on an annual rolling basis.

For the avoidance of doubt, EBIT shall exclude the establishment fee payable under this Agreement and the property valuation fees for the Mortgaged Properties payable prior to drawdown under this Agreement.

EBIT is the Borrower’s net profit before Funding Costs, income Tax and Abnormals for the relevant financial year (but excluding the Borrower’s general manager’s salary where such salary is funded by the Parent) but after depreciation, research and development expenses and payments and other benefits to directors and shareholders (excluding Permitted Payments) for the relevant financial year. Funding Costs comprise all interest, charges and fees related to funding other than the establishment fee. Abnormals are items, as determined by Westpac NZ in its sole discretion, that are not expected to occur frequently and are distinct from the Borrower’s ordinary operations.

b)

Equity Ratio

at all times it maintains Shareholders Funds of not less than 60% of Adjusted Tangible Assets. Shareholders Funds is the Borrower’s Adjusted Tangible Assets less Adjusted Total Liabilities. Adjusted Tangible Assets is the aggregate of the book values of all of the Borrower’s assets excluding assets of an intangible nature (except goodwill included in the ArborGen Group’s accounts ( which shall be included and, as at the date of settlement, is approximately $11,750,000), advances to shareholders, investments in related and associate companies and future asset revaluations provided that the value of land and buildings will be based on the latest registered valuations provided to and approved by Westpac NZ in its sole discretion (or as individually approved by Westpac NZ) with such valuation being at the date of the Agreement approximately $10,149,000. Adjusted Total Liabilities is the aggregate of the book values of all of the Borrower’s liabilities excluding only advances from shareholders.

c)

Loan to Value Ratio

at all times the amount owing to both Westpac NZ and WBC is not to exceed 50% of the value of the Secured Property (as determined by Westpac NZ, from time to time). If that limit is exceeded, Westpac NZ may require either:

(i)

the prepayment of part of the facilities; or

(ii)

the provision of further security,

so that the this clause is complied with.

d)

Capital expenditure

all capital expenditure shall be incurred in accordance with the annual budget provided to Westpac NZ.

if Westpac NZ combines two or more accounts, it may decline to pay cheques and it may otherwise act as if the combined accounts had always been one account.

14.4

Contractual rights

Westpac NZ’s rights under this clause are contractual rights affecting the terms upon which a credit balance is held and the creation of those rights does not constitute the creation of a Security Interest in respect of that credit balance.

ii)

for the purpose of complying with its obligations under the Bank Documents; or

with the prior written consent of Westpac NZ.

Interest

Each amount deposited with Westpac NZ under clause 14.5 will (unless otherwise agreed) bear interest calculated by reference to successive deposit periods of a duration agreed by Westpac NZ and the Borrower (or, in the absence of agreement, as Westpac NZ may nominate). The rate of interest applicable to a deposit period will be as agreed by Westpac NZ and the Borrower (or, in the absence of agreement, as Westpac NZ certifies as applicable to deposits of similar size and maturity placed with it by customers). As long as no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default has occurred (in which case interest is to be added to the deposit) and subject to clause 14.1, that interest is to be paid to the Borrower as it may direct.
