45C. The instalment payments are paid by direct debit commencing upon application and in accordance with the table at paragraph 45A. If a Grower does not pay the required instalments, then the provisions of the Licence and Management Agreement relating to default by Growers will apply.

45D. The Responsible Entity will monitor the level of applications received under the Instalment Option. A limit may be imposed on the number of applications that can be accepted under the Instalment Option. Requests to pay by instalments will be reviewed on an Application by Application basis.

4. Paragraph 68, insert note (x):

After note (ix) insert note (x):

(x)
If a Member who is an 'STS taxpayer' chooses to pay the Licence Fee, Primary Services Fee, Fee for Share Option and Management Fee by instalments under the Instalment Option as set out in paragraph 45A, then the Licence Fee, Primary Services Fee, Fee for Share Option and Management Fee will be fully paid in the year in which they are incurred. If for any reason the amounts paid under the Instalment Option are not fully paid in the year in which they are incurred by a Member who is an 'STS taxpayer', then the amount is only deductible to the extent to which it has been paid, or has been paid for the Member. Any amount or part of an amount which is not paid in the year in which it is incurred will be deductible in the year in which it is actually paid pursuant to paragraph 328-105(1)(b) of the ITAA.

This Addendum applies on and from 21 July 2004.
