PERSONAL PROPERTY SECURITIES ACT

8.1 In this clause 8, words and phrases that have defined meanings in the PPSA have the same meaning as in the PPSA unless the context indicates otherwise.

8.2 If any Product becomes an accession to or other property or become part of a product or mass, then:

(a) the Seller’s security interest continues in the other property, product or mass; and

(b) references to the Product in this TCS include the other property, product or mass.

8.3 The Purchaser consents to the Seller perfecting any security interest that it considers this document provides for by registration under the PPSA. The Purchaser agrees to do anything the Seller reasonably asks to ensure that the security interest:

(a) is enforceable, perfected and otherwise effective; and

(b) has priority over all other security interests.

8.4 To the extent the law permits, the Purchaser waives its right to receive any notice (including notice of a verification statement) that is required by the PPSA and the Purchaser agrees not to exercise its rights to make any request of the Seller under section 275 of the PPSA. However, this does not prevent the Seller from giving a notice under the PPSA and does not limit the Purchaser’s rights to request information other than under section 275.

8.5 To the extent the law permits, the Seller need not comply with, and the Purchaser may not exercise rights under, any provisions of Chapter 4 of the PPSA that may be contracted out of.

8.6 If the Seller exercises a right, power or remedy in connection with this TCS or a security interest that it provides for, that exercise is taken not to be an exercise of a right, power or remedy under the PPSA unless the Seller 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.

8.7 Neither the Purchaser nor the Seller will disclose any information of the kind mentioned in section 275(1) of the PPSA, except where disclosure is required by section 275(7). The Purchaser will not authorise the disclosure of any information under that section or waive any duty of confidence that would otherwise permit non-disclosure under that section. This clause does not prevent either party from disclosing confidential or proprietary information where such information is required or permissible by law.

8.8 The Purchaser must notify the Seller at least 14 days before it does any of the following:

(a) changes its name;

(b) changes its place of registration or incorporation;
