2.4 Headings

PART C—PRINCIPLES
3. MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT
3.1 What is MAE
If an event or circumstance constitutes or gives rise to an Adverse Effect in each Relevant Deed whether an event or circumstance has or will have a material adverse effect on the level or timing of revenues or outgoings incurred or paid in respect of either the ESEP Project or the City Link Project, regard must be had to revenue and outgoings incurred or paid in respect of both the ESEP Project and the City Link Project, taken as a whole.
Appendix Event under a Relevant Deed then the assessment
of any claim in respect of that Appendix Event under that
Relevant Deed shall include the effects of the equivalent
Appendix Event (if any) under the other Relevant Deed.
3.2 What is not MAE
Each Appendix Event is capable of having a Material Adverse Effect. The parties acknowledge, however, that notwithstanding anything contained in the Appendix to either Relevant Deed:
(a) behalf of the Other Concessionaire, or in (or partly in)
in the context of a Relevant Deed, an act by or on the Other Concessionaire under the ESEP Project Documents (insofar as the Relevant Deed is the Concession Deed) or the City Link Project Documents (insofar as the Relevant Deed is the ESEP Deed);
(b)
in the context of the ESEP Deed, an event or circumstance which constitutes the removal of an Agreed Traffic Management Measure under the other Relevant Deed;
Melbourne City Link (Exhibition Street Extension) Act 1998
Act No. 50/1998 Sch. Sch.
(c) in the context of the Concession Deed, an event or circumstance which constitutes the alteration of any Existing Traffic Environment (within the meaning of the ESEP Deed); (d) an event or circumstance insofar as it comprises or arises as a consequence of ESEP Ancillary Works and Operations (within the meaning of the ESEP Deed); (e) in the context of a Relevant Deed, an Appendix Event under that Deed which is caused by a breach by the Company, the Trustee or Clepco of an ESEP Project Document (if the Relevant Deed is the Concession Deed) or a City Link Project Document (if the Relevant Deed is the ESEP Deed); (f) for the purposes of item 5 of column 1 of the Appendix to each Relevant Deed, a change relating to Taxes (such as income, payroll and sales tax) which affects business generally and which would have affected the Other Concessionaire irrespective of the single purpose nature of the ESEP Project (if the Other Concessionaire is Clepco) or City Link Project (if otherwise); (g) in the context of the ESEP Deed, the removal of a Non-Agreed Traffic Management Measure in the circumstances referred to in clause 2.6(h) of the Concession Deed,
cannot constitute or give rise to a Material Adverse Effect or
be taken into account in determining:(i) whether a Material Adverse Effect has or will occur; or
(ii) the extent of redress provided in respect of an Appendix Event.
For the avoidance of doubt, paragraph 3.2(b) does not preclude the effect of that event or circumstance on the ESEP Project being assessed under the Concession Deed.
3.3 Redress
(a) In relation to a Relevant Deed, appropriate methods extended to include a method of redress which is specified in the other Relevant Deed as being applicable to an event of the same type as the relevant Appendix Event.
Melbourne City Link (Exhibition Street Extension) Act 1998
Act No. 50/1998
(b)
If a constraint applies under a Relevant Deed in relation to the availability of a method of redress or to the extent to which a method of redress may be made available, that constraint also applies to a method of redress which is, because of paragraph (a), made available in respect of the relevant Appendix Event even though it is specified in the other Relevant Deed.
(c)
In no case can the Concession Period or term of the Leases, under the ESEP Deed, be extended so as to result in an aggregate period expiring on a date which
is not the date on which, under the Concession Deed,
the Concession Period ends (assuming no event or
circumstance subsequently occurs which gives rise to
early termination of the Concession Deed).3.4 Pollution
Any amounts paid or payable by the State as a result of its obligation, under a Relevant Deed, to indemnify a party to the Relevant Deed in respect of costs incurred with respect to pollution cannot be claimed by the Other Concessionaire when seeking redress under clauses 2.9 to 2.12 of the other Relevant Deed.
3.5 Mitigation
In each Relevant Deed:
(a)
the specific purpose requirement that must be satisfied before something may constitute a "Government Directed Benefit", may be satisfied even if that thing is for a similar purpose under the other Relevant Deed;
(b)
the requirement that certain improvements must have resulted from certain traffic management measures before they can be taken into account in determining redress for Appendix Events specified in paragraph 3(a) of column 1 of the Appendix to the Relevant Deed may be satisfied even if those measures are in mitigation of the effects of an event or circumstance which constitutes an Appendix Event under the other Relevant Deed;
(c)
insofar as moneys due and payable to the State can be taken into account in determining redress for an Appendix Event which has had or will have a Material Adverse Effect, moneys due and payable to the State under the ESEP Project Documents (where
Melbourne City Link (Exhibition Street Extension) Act 1998
Act No. 50/1998 Sch. the Relevant Deed is the Concession Deed) or the City Link Project Documents (where the Relevant Deed is the ESEP Deed) can also be taken into
account;
(d)
insofar as a party must use reasonable endeavours to either mitigate the adverse consequences of an Appendix Event or to ensure that redress is efficiently applied and structured, the Other Concessionaire must also use reasonable endeavours to do the relevant things (and the State's obligation to indemnify for expenditure incurred in undertaking those endeavours shall extend to the Other Concessionaire).
3.6 Measurement
For the purpose of clause 2.12(d) of the ESEP Deed, the method of determining the effect of an Appendix Event shall be determined using the method specified in clause 2.12(d) of the Concession Deed.
3.7 Costs and expenses incurred
In each Relevant Deed, any determination of the level of redress to be afforded in respect of an Appendix Event which has a Material Adverse Effect is (subject to the other provisions of the Relevant Deed) to take into account reasonable costs, losses and liabilities incurred by the Other Concessionaire as a result of the relevant Appendix Event.
3.8 Commonwealth Law
In relation to events or circumstances of the type described in Item 5 of column 1 of the Appendix to each Relevant Deed, the State is required (in certain circumstances) to negotiate in good faith in an endeavour to agree whether methods of redress are available, in addition to those that would otherwise be available. That obligation to negotiate, however, only applies if (in addition to certain other requirements) the amount of the Project Debt at the relevant time exceeds the net present value of certain revenue, net of certain expenses. In this regard, where the Relevant Deed is:
(a) the Concession Deed, relevant revenue includes revenue receivable in relation to the ESEP Project and expenses to be netted off: (i) include those payable in the relevant period in respect of the operation, maintenance and repair of the Exhibition Street Extension; and
Melbourne City Link (Exhibition Street Extension) Act 1998
| Sch. | Sch. | Act No. 50/1998 |
(ii) exclude those the liability for which was incurred in breach of an obligation owed to the State under the ESEP Project Documents; and
(b) the ESEP Deed, relevant revenue includes revenue receivable in relation to the City Link Project and expenses to be netted off: (i) include those payable in the relevant period in respect of the operation, maintenance and repair of the Link; and
(ii) exclude those the liability for which was incurred in breach of an obligation owed to the State under the City Link Project Documents.
3.9 Knowledge
Under each Relevant Deed, notice of an Appendix Event is only valid (and, in the context of certain relatively immaterial Appendix Events, is only taken into account) if given within 12 months after the occurrence of the Appendix Event becoming known to a person that may give the notice. If the Other Concessionaire knows of the occurrence of the Appendix Event at an earlier time, however, the 12 month period commences at that earlier time.
3.10 Claims
Without limitation to clause 3.1, if under a Relevant Deed a claim has been made that an event or circumstance constitutes or gives rise to either an Appendix Event or a Material Adverse Effect (past, present or future), the Other Concessionaire is precluded from making such a claim in relation to that same event or circumstance.
3.11 No Appendix Event
The coming into operation of this Agreement, the Fourth
Amending Deed, the ESEP Deed, the ESEP Project
Legislation and the PSA does not constitute an Appendix
Event pursuant to item 4 of the Appendix to either RelevantDeed. In addition:
(a)
none of the Relevant Circumstances constitute an Appendix Event pursuant to item 1, 3(c), 3(d) or 3(e) of the Appendix to either Relevant Deed; and
(b)
the coming into operation of the amendments to Exhibit A to the Concession Deed contemplated in the
Melbourne City Link (Exhibition Street Extension) Act 1998
Act No. 50/1998 Sch. Fourth Amending Deed does not constitute an Appendix Event pursuant to item 3 or 4 of the Appendix to the Concession Deed.

It includes, without limitation, money for which the Company or Trustee would have been so liable, but for its liquidation.
It does not include, however, liability for any amount insofar as that liability was:
(a)
created or increased as a consequence of a breach of a City Link Project Document or an ESEP Project Document (other than by the State) or of a Lending Document;
(b)
incurred or arises as a consequence of a change to a Lending Document (or a change in the nature or extent of a facility as initially provided for in the Lending Document), or the substitution of another document for a Lending Document, being a change or substitution which the State has not elected to adopt; or
(c)
incurred or arises as a consequence of the borrowing or raising of money, the provision of financial accommodation or the adoption of interest rate risk hedging mechanisms or strategies of a nature or to an extent different from that reflected in the Base Case Financial Model, being a borrowing, raising,

give the State notice of the Charge Toll and the quarter in which Clepco intends that it first apply; and
(b)

(c) placed in the Victorian Government Gazette and a newspaper, must be so placed at least five Business Days prior to commencement of the relevant quarter, if it reflects an increase in the Charge Toll or, if it does not reflect such an increase, prior to commencement of the relevant quarter; and (d) given to the State must be so given at least one month prior to commencement of the relevant quarter, if it reflects an increase in the Charge Toll or, if it does not reflect such an increase, prior to commencement of the relevant quarter.
4.3 A Charge Toll set in accordance with this Schedule in
relation to a category of Vehicle and a particular quarter
shall be deemed to have been so set in relation to all
succeeding quarters occurring prior to a quarter in respect of
which notice is given and placed in accordance with clause
4.2 indicating a change to the relevant toll.
4.4
Subject to clause 4.1, Clepco shall not, and shall not permit or suffer, a toll to be levied or imposed for or in connection with the use of the Exhibition Street Extension or the use of anything on the Exhibition Street Extension (other than a
