  (b) The Seller and the Buyer may agree in writing that special arrangements shall apply in respect of one or more Transferring Employees or Employees - Group.

 

38


  (c) Subject to paragraph (d), except for a Transferring Employee or Employee - Group covered by an arrangement made under paragraph (b), the Buyer must:

 

  (i) provide superannuation benefits for the Transferring Employees and the Employees - Group which, taken as a whole, shall be no less favourable than those provided to them by their employer as at the Completion Date; and

 

  (ii) ensure that the Buyer’s Fund shall be capable of being a Successor Fund to the Seller’s Superannuation Fund in respect of the Employees - Group,

 

save and except that the Transferring Employees and Employees - Group shall have no rights and no provision shall be made for any right to any surplus in the Seller’s Superannuation Fund and the Seller shall ensure that they shall not suffer any reduction in benefits or amounts transferred to the Buyer’s Fund representing or otherwise attributable to any deficit or under-funding in the Seller’s Superannuation Fund.

 

  (d) The Seller agrees that notwithstanding paragraph (c), the Buyer is not required to provide defined benefit style benefits to any Transferring Members who were entitled to defined benefits in the Seller’s Superannuation Fund.

 

  (e) The Buyer must pay for all costs in establishing (or making available) the Buyer’s Fund. For the avoidance of doubt, these costs will include all legal costs incurred in reviewing the trust deed, including any cost incurred in amending that trust deed, regardless or whether or not the proposed fund is accepted as a Successor Fund to the Seller’s Superannuation Fund by the trustee of the Seller’s Superannuation Fund.

 

  (f) Subject to paragraphs (d) and (g), the Buyer and the Seller must use their best endeavours to facilitate, within 90 business days after the Completion Date, the transfer of the Employees - Group and their superannuation benefits from the Seller’s Superannuation Fund to the Buyer’s Fund without their consent, in the circumstances permitted by superannuation law, on the basis that the Buyer’s Fund is a Successor Fund.

 

  (g) For a Transferring Member:

 

  (i) covered by an arrangement made under paragraph (b); or

 

  (ii) who is a Transferring Employee; or

 

  (iii) who is an Employee - Group where the trustee of the Seller’s Superannuation Fund and the trustee of the Buyer’s Fund fail to agree that the Buyer’s Fund is capable of being a Successor Fund to the Seller’s Superannuation Fund in respect of that employee within 90 business days after the Completion Date,

 

the Buyer shall allow that Transferring Member to voluntarily transfer his or her superannuation benefits in the Seller’s Superannuation Fund to the Buyer’s Fund. In the case of a Transferring Employee such voluntary transfer shall be in lieu of the benefit to which the Employee - Group is entitled on Completion.

 

  (h) The Seller will procure that the amount transferred in respect of each Transferring Member from the Seller’s Superannuation Fund to the Buyer’s Fund shall be at least equal to the Transferring Member’s member’s reserve in the Seller’s Superannuation Fund as at the Completion Date, adjusted for earnings at the estimated earning rate of the Seller’s Superannuation Fund in respect of the period from the Completion Date to the date the relevant amount is transferred.


  (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Deed, each Transferring Employee will have the right to access their benefit at Completion in accordance with the provisions of the governing rules of the Seller’s Superannuation Fund and any applicable laws.

 

  (j) The Buyer will provide, and procure the trustee of the Buyer’s Fund to provide, to the trustee of the Seller’s Superannuation Fund all information that the trustee of the Seller’s Superannuation Fund reasonably needs to facilitate a transfer of the Transferring Members and their benefits to the Buyer’s Fund under a Successor Fund transfer.

 

  (k) The Seller will use its best endeavours to procure that the trustee of the Seller’s Superannuation Fund provides to the trustee of the Buyer’s Fund all information that the trustee of the Buyer’s Fund reasonably needs to facilitate a transfer of the Transferring Members and their benefits to the Buyer’s Fund under a Successor Fund transfer, and such other information that the Buyer or the trustee of any superannuation fund nominated by the Buyer reasonably requires to administer any benefits or enable any benefits to be provided to each Transferring Employee and Employee - Group.

 

  (1) On Completion, the Seller and the Buyer will immediately cause each member of the Group who is associated with the Seller’s Superannuation Fund, whether as a principal employer, associated employer, participating employer or otherwise, to take all steps necessary to end that association with effect from Completion.

 

  (m) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Deed, and for the avoidance of doubt, the Buyer acknowledges that on and from Completion, no member of the Group shall have any rights in relation to the Seller’s Superannuation Fund (whether arising under the trust deed for the Seller’s Superannuation Fund or otherwise).

 

11. Trade Debts - Seller Group

 

  (a) From Completion, the Buyer shall be solely responsible for the collection of the Trade Debts - Seller Group. Except as provided in this clause 11, no Seller Group Member is obliged to take or continue, alone or jointly with the Buyer, any action with respect to the Trade Debts - Seller Group.

 

  (b) If requested by the Buyer, MGL will procure that the relevant Seller Group Member will execute joint notices in a form acceptable to both parties addressed to each Trade Debtor - Seller Group notifying the Trade Debtors - Seller Group of the assignment of the Trade Debts - Seller Group.

 

  (c) If any Seller Group Member receives any payment from any Trade Debtor in respect of any Trade Debt after the Completion Date, MGL will procure that the relevant Seller Group Member accounts to the Buyer for the amount received within 5 Business Days after its receipt.

 

12. Plant and equipment

 

  (a) The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Fixed Assets - Seller Group may include plant and equipment which is a fixture or a tenant’s fixture or a part of the land on which it is situated.


  (b) Notwithstanding that the Buyer vacates the Premises at or any time after Completion, the Buyer may not make any claim against any Seller Group Member in relation to the value or classification of such items of Fixed Assets - Seller Group on the basis of them being fixtures, tenant’s fixtures or part of the land on which they are being situated (apart from any claim it may be entitled to make under the Warranties (as defined in the Umbrella Deed)).

 

13. Liabilities

 

  (a) The Buyer must Assume on and from Completion the Assumed Liabilities and any other Liability which any Seller Group Member suffers or incurs, whether arising before, on or after Completion, exclusively in relation to the Hospital Business.

 

  (b) From that time, the Buyer will be solely responsible for and must indemnify each Seller Group Member against any such Liability.

 

14. Tax

 

14.1 Tax Indemnity

 

MGL indemnifies the Buyer and each Group Member from and against all Tax Claim Amounts suffered or incurred in respect of any Tax Claim.

 

14.2 Rights of the Buyer Group Members and Enforcement of the Tax Indemnity

 

  (a) MGL acknowledges and confirms in favour of the Buyer and each Group Member that the Tax Indemnity given by MGL is for the benefit of the Buyer and each Group Member.

 

  (b) Each Group Member may enforce its rights in relation to the Tax Indemnity independently from each other and even though not a party to this Deed.

 

14.3 Restrictions on claims under the Tax Indemnity

 

The obligations of MGL under the Tax Indemnity do not apply in respect of a Tax Claim:

 

  (a) to the extent that the Tax Claim arises from the failure by the Buyer to supply to MGL on a timely basis information available to any Buyer Group Member which is reasonably requested by MGL in relation to a Tax Claim;

 

  (b) to the extent that the Tax Claim arises from the failure by any Buyer Group Member after Completion, in a timely and appropriate manner, to:

 

  (i) lodge any return, notice, objection or other document that gives rise to or relates to the Tax Claim;

 

  (ii) claim all or any portion of any relief, allowance, deduction, credit, rebate or right to repayment which is available to a Buyer Group Member as at Completion to the extent that information sufficient to make the claim was or might reasonably be expected to have been within the knowledge of any Buyer Group Member;

 

  (iii) disclose or correctly describe in any return, notice, objection or other document relating to the Tax Claim lodged, given or made after Completion, any fact, matter or thing to the extent that it was or might reasonably be expected to have been within the knowledge of any Buyer Group Member; or


  (iv) take any action which any Buyer Group Member is required to take under this clause 14 or any laws relating to Tax, or (provided that it does not result in any material disruption to the Hospital Business) which would have been necessary or appropriate to take in order to prevent the occurrence or existence of grounds for a Tax Claim provided that it has no material adverse effect to the Buyer Group;

 

  (c) arises as a result of any Buyer Group Member amending after Completion any Tax returns for a period ending on or prior to the Last Accounts Balance Date or changing the basis on which the income and deductions in relation to such Tax returns was computed (whether such change relates to a period ending before or after the Last Accounts Balance Date) other than in respect of an amendment approved in writing by MGL (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed provided it does not cause a material adverse effect to MGL) or as otherwise required by Law;

 

  (d) to the extent that the Tax Claim arises as a result of a change to the Tax Act, its interpretation by a Court of Law or its interpretation by the Australian Taxation Office as set out in a published ruling or interpretative decision, after Completion that applies to any of the Buyer Group members;

 

  (e) to the extent that the Tax Claim arises as a result of the Buyer’s non-compliance with this clause 14 in a material respect; and

 

  (f) to the extent the Tax Claim is for an amount that has been provided for in the Completion Accounts.

 

14.4 Timing of payments

 

Payments under the Tax Indemnity must be made to the Buyer (or at the Buyer’s request, to any other Buyer Group Member) by whichever is the later of:

 

  (a) 5 Business Days before the latest date on which that payment of Tax may lawfully be made without incurring any penalty, additional tax, interest or general interest charge for late payment (allowing for any deferrals granted by the Revenue Authority); and

 

  (b) 10 Business Days after MGL receives notice in writing from the Buyer providing full and accurate particulars of the Tax Claim (with copies certified by the Buyer of all supporting documentation) sufficient for MGL to verify the accuracy of the Tax Claim, provided that MGL does not dispute its liability in respect of the tax claim.

 

14.5 Late Payments

 

If any sums required to be made by MGL under or relating to the matters in this clause 14 are not paid on the date specified in clause 14.4 (the Due Date), then, except to the extent that MGL’s liability under clause 14.1. compensates the Buyer or the relevant Group Member for the late payment by virtue of it extending to interest, penalties, fines or other costs, such sums shall bear interest (which shall accrue from day to day after as well as before any judgement for the same) at the Interest Rate, compounded quarterly, from the day following the Due Date up to and including the day of actual payment of such sums.


14.6 Notice of Potential Tax Claims and Tax Claims Procedure

 

  (a) If any Buyer Group Member:

 

  (i) receives a letter, request, demand, notice, or communication (“communication”); or

 

  (ii) intends to lodge a self-assessed return that will have effect as a deemed assessment (“return”),

 

that may reasonably be related to or give rise to a Tax Claim, the Buyer must:

 

  (iii) within 10 Business Days of the receipt of a communication within paragraph (i), inform MGL and provide a copy of any document received relating to the communication;

 

  (iv) not later than 20 Business Days before a lodgement of return within paragraph (ii), inform MGL and provide a copy of the relevant return or parts of the return, and shall consult in good faith with MGL concerning the reasons for that return;

 

  (v) in relation to a communication within paragraph (a)(i), consistently with any applicable statutory obligations, not engage in any discussions, negotiations or confer with any representatives of the Revenue Authority concerning the communication received without first complying with the requirements of paragraphs (b) and (c) of this subclause.

 

If any Buyer Group Member becomes aware of a Tax Claim, whether or not notice has been given under the above the Buyer must give timely and written notice of it to MGL.

 

  (b) The Buyer must ensure that MGL and its professional advisers have, at the Buyer’s expense, reasonable access to the personnel of the Buyer Group and to any relevant premises, assets and records within the custody, power, possession or control of any Buyer Group Member to enable MGL and its professional advisers to examine the communication, return or Tax Claim and records relating to them and to take copies or photographs of them, at the reasonable expense of MGL, provided MGL and its professional advisers give to the relevant Buyer Group Member such undertakings as to confidentiality as the Buyer may reasonably require.

 

  (c) The Buyer must ensure that all Buyer Group Members take any proper and reasonable action that MGL requests to, as applicable:

 

  (i) respond to the communication or to make changes to the return in order to give effect to the taxation treatment considered by MGL to have the greatest likelihood of not giving rise to a Tax Claim; or

 

  (ii) avoid, resist, compromise or defend a demand or notice issued by a Revenue Authority which gives rise to the Tax Claim,

 

provided MGL indemnifies the relevant Buyer Group Member against any reasonable costs or expenses which may be incurred as a result of compliance with MGL’s request and, in addition, MGL pays to the Buyer any Tax which is required to be paid to a Revenue Authority to enable such action to be taken.

 

  (d) The action that MGL may request be taken by any Buyer Group Member in respect of a Tax Claim includes the making of objections and appeals, and administrative law remedies.

 

  (e) Any action requested by MGL under this clause 14 must be taken in a timely manner.


  (f) If the Buyer becomes aware of a Tax Claim, consistently with any applicable statutory obligations, the Buyer must not, and must ensure that no Buyer Group Member does, engage in any discussions, negotiations or confer with any representatives of the Revenue Authority concerning the Tax Claim without first complying with the requirements of paragraphs (a), (b) and (c)(ii) of this subclause.

 

  (g) If MGL makes a request under paragraph (c)(ii) regarding the lodgement of a notice of objection, but MGL and the Buyer are unable to reach agreement concerning the response to the Tax Claim within sixty (60) Business Days after the Buyer has notified MGL of the Tax Claim (or any shorter time required by law for the objection, appeal or administrative law remedy), MGL may refer the dispute to an expert (as referred to in clause 14.9(b)), which shall apply to this provision with such modifications as are appropriate. The notice of objection shall then be prepared in the manner considered by the expert to have the most reasonable prospects of success.

 

  (h) If:

 

  (i) an objection duly lodged under this clause is disallowed by the Revenue Authority; or

 

  (ii) an appeal made, or administrative remedy taken, in accordance with this clause is decided against the interests of MGL; or

 

  (iii) the Revenue Authority appeals against a decision given in the interests of MGL,

 

then:

 

  (iv) the Buyer shall promptly give written notification of the facts and circumstances to MGL; and

 

  (v) MGL may require any Buyer Group Member to make such further appeal, or defence of appeal, or seek such administrative remedy, as it determines, in which case MGL shall be entitled, if it wishes, to have the control of any such appeal, remedy or defence and in any event the Buyer shall keep MGL fully informed of all matters relating thereto and provide copies to MGL of all documents relating thereto; and

 

  (vi) no further appeal, defence or remedy shall be settled or compromised except in accordance with MGL’s written consent.

 

  (i) MGL may only make a request under paragraph (h) if MGL has obtained an opinion from a Queen’s Counsel or Senior Counsel that the proposed appeal, remedy or defence has a reasonable prospect of success.

 

14.7 Refunds

 

  (a) If, following the making of a payment under the Tax Indemnity all or part of the Tax Claim Amount is refunded either in cash or by credit to any Buyer Group Member (including, but not limited to, any amount or credit received following a successful objection or appeal), the Buyer must immediately pay to MGL the lesser of the refund and the amount paid under the Tax Indemnity.


  (b) If at any time after the Completion Date any Buyer Group Member receives a refund or credit in respect of any Tax levied in respect of a tax year or part prior to Completion:

 

  (i) the Buyer will, or will procure that the Relevant Buyer Group Member will, as the case may be, immediately pay to MGL an amount equal to the amount of such refund or credit (together with any interest paid by the Australian Taxation Office after an appropriate allowance for tax payable by the relevant Buyer Group Member) to the extent that it has not been included in the Completion Statement or in prior years’ accounts of the Company; and

 

  (ii) any such payment by the Buyer under this provision will be by way of, and shall have effect as, a pro rata increase in the purchase price for each Sale Share.

 

14.8 Interest received from a Revenue Authority

 

Provided MGL has complied with clause 14.6(c), to the extent not covered by clause 14.7, if the Buyer Group Member receives an amount of interest from a Revenue Authority in connection with the refund of a Tax Claim Amount, then the Buyer will pay to MGL the amount of interest received by the relevant Buyer Group Member less any Tax payable by the relevant Buyer Group Member on that interest received but only to the extent any payment under this clause 14.8 does not qualify as being tax deductible under the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 or under the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 in the income year in which a payment under this clause 14.8 is made.

 

14.9 Expert determination

 

  (a) If MGL and the Buyer cannot agree on any amount to be paid under the Tax Indemnity within 60 Business Days of a dispute arising, or within such further time as may be agreed between them, then MGL may refer the agreement to an expert with the request that the expert make a decision on the disagreement as soon as practicable after receiving any submissions from MGL and the Buyer.

 

  (b) The expert is to be a Senior Counsel or Queen’s Counsel with over 15 years experience in Tax appointed by MGL.

 

  (c) The decision of the expert is to be conclusive and binding on the parties in the absence of manifest error.

 

  (d) Unless the expert makes a determination regarding costs, MGL and the Buyer agree to each pay one half of the expert’s costs and expenses in connection with the reference.

 

  (e) The expert is appointed as an expert and not as an arbitrator.

 

  (f) The procedures for determination are to be decided by the expert in its absolute discretion.

 

14.10 Tax Returns

 

  (a) MGL shall be obliged to prepare and lodge with the appropriate Revenue Authority all Tax returns for any periods ending on or prior to the Last Accounts Balance Date. The Buyer agrees that, in the event such Tax returns have not been lodged prior to the Completion Date it shall provide in a timely manner, such assistance as shall be necessary for the returns to be prepared, signed and lodged.

 

  (b)

The Buyer agrees that MGL shall be entitled, in relation to any periods ending on or prior to the Last Accounts Balance Date, to transfer or procure the transfer of Tax losses from all Group Members to any Seller Group Member for nil consideration.


 

The Buyer agrees that it shall ensure that all Group Members shall provide such assistance as shall be necessary to give effect to such transfer, including without prejudicing the generality of the foregoing, the signing of any loss transfer agreements.

 

14.11 Loan Amounts

 

  (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Transaction Agreements, this clause 14.11 shall apply for so long as the Loan Structure exists and for 4 years thereafter.

 

  (b) If any amounts paid to the Buyer or any Buyer Group Member as a loan pursuant to the Loan Structure are assessable to the Buyer or any Buyer Group Member, MGL will indemnify the Buyer or the Buyer Group Member an amount equal to the Tax that would be payable on the amount if the only offset that was taken into account was a credit or offset related to the loan amount.

 

14.12 Limits

 

None of clauses 8.1 to 8.10 of the Umbrella Deed apply to limit any payment that MGL is liable to make in respect of a Tax Claim Amount, except for clauses 8.2(a) and 8.2(b) (Buyer insured), 8.2(e) (Loss only compensated once), 8.2(f) (Buyer otherwise compensated), 8.2(g) (Last Accounts or Umbrella Completion Statement), 8.2(h) (No indirect or consequential loss), 8.2(i) (Legislation), 8.2(j) (Buyer’s actions in relation to Tax), 8.2(n) (Time limits - Non-C&P), 8.4 (Reimbursement for amounts recovered) and 8.6 (Adjustment to Umbrella Purchase Price).

 

14.13 Tax office ruling

 

  (a) Where any private binding ruling is to be obtained from the Australian Taxation Office in relation to the tax treatment of any Asset Sale Deed, MGL will have sole responsibility for the preparation and submission of any such ruling.

 

  (b) The Buyer will not request a private binding ruling or other opinion or determination from the ATO in respect of any Asset Sale Deed where that ruling would apply to MGL or prejudice the position of MGL.

 

  (c) Any request for a private binding ruling in respect of any Asset Sale Deed will be provided to the Buyer 5 Business Days prior to its lodgement with the ATO. The Buyer may request changes in respect of the documents to be submitted, however Seller is only required to agree to the changes where it can be established that they do not prejudice Seller’s position.

 

  (d) MGL will (in the event that it seeks a private binding ruling which would apply to the Buyer or prejudice its position) provide:

 

  (i) a copy of the final request for a private binding ruling, when it is lodged with the ATO;

 

  (ii) a copy of the relevant ruling when it is issued by the ATO; and

  (b) If the Landlord gives the Tenant notice during the Notice Period that it requires the Rent to be reviewed at the relevant Market Review Date, the Rent will be the amount agreed in writing by the Landlord and the Tenant and, if they do not agree within 1 month after service of the notice, the Rent will be the higher of:

  (b) In determining the current market rent:

 

  (i) no account is to be taken of any goodwill attributable to the Premises because of any trade or business carried on from the Premises by the Tenant or any sub tenant;

  (viii) where the current market rent is to be determined for more than one floor, an allowance or discount must be made due to the Premises comprising more than one whole floor; and

 

  (ix) account is to be taken of any concession or incentive including any period of rent abatement which would at the time of the relevant review be required to secure a tenant of comparable premises.

 

4.5 Adjustment payment

 

  (a) The Tenant must pay the new Rent from the Review Date and the Market Review Date, as the case may be.

  (c) The Landlord must calculate any necessary adjustment between the Rent the Tenant has paid and the Rent the Tenant should have paid from the Review Date.


  (d) If, on the relevant Market Review Date, the revised Rent has not been determined as provided in this clause, then pending the determination the Tenant must continue to pay rent of the amount equal to the Rent payable immediately before the relevant Market Review Date, and any adjustment calculated from the relevant Market Review Date must be made within 28 days after the amount of the Rent is known.

The Tenant must pay the Landlord on demand interest on any moneys due and payable to the Landlord under this lease at the rate of 2 per cent per annum above the general commercial prime rate of interest charged by the head office of Westpac Banking Corporation in the Relevant State.

 

The interest rate in this clause 15.3 must be computed from the due date for payment until payment in full of the money in respect of which the interest is chargeable.

 

15.4 Damages for breach of essential terms

 

  (a) The parties agree that clauses 3, 7.1, 7.5, 8.1 and 12.1 are essential terms of this lease and a breach for non-observance or non-performance of any one or more of such covenants, terms and conditions will be deemed to be a fundamental breach of the provisions of this lease on the part of the Tenant.


  (b) If the Tenant breaches an essential term of this lease and the Landlord re-enters and takes possession of the Premises, the Landlord may recover all money payable by the Tenant under this lease up to the expiration of the Term.

 

15.5 Opportunity to rectify default

 

Despite any other provision in this lease, the Landlord must not re enter the Premises or terminate or forfeit this lease or the Term unless the Landlord first gives the Tenant notice of the breach, default or non compliance on which the Landlord relies in seeking to act. If the breach, default or non compliance is remediable:

 

  (a) by payment of money, and the Tenant pays to Landlord within 30 days of service of the notice all money necessary to remedy the breach, default or non compliance; or

 

  (b) other than by the payment of money, and the Tenant within 30 days of the service of the notice gives the Landlord a written undertaking to remedy the breach, default or non compliance and does remedy it within a reasonable time having regard to its extent, but in any event within 45 days of giving the undertaking,

 

then the Landlord is not entitled to rely on, and will be deemed to have waived absolutely, the breach, default or non compliance specified in the notice to the Tenant as a ground for re entry, termination or forfeiture, and this lease will continue in full force and effect as if the breach, default or non compliance had not occurred.

 

15.6 Landlord to Mitigate Loss

 

If the Tenant repudiates this Lease then, whether or not the Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, the Landlord shall use its best endeavours to mitigate any loss.

 

15.7 Tenant’s right to terminate

 

The Tenant may terminate this lease by notice in writing to the Landlord if:

 

the Service Agreement is terminated through no fault of the Tenant.

 

If the Tenant terminates this lease under this clause, neither party shall have any claim against the other except arising from a breach of this lease prior to the lease date of termination.

 

15.8 Yielding up

 

The Tenant must at the expiry or earlier termination of this lease peaceably surrender and yield up the Premises to the Landlord.

 

15.9 Removal of Tenant’s Fixtures

 

The Tenant:

 

  (a) must at or before the termination of this lease remove from the Premises all its chattels and personal effects; and

 

  (b) may (and must if requested by the Landlord) at or before the termination of this lease remove from the Premises all the Tenant’s fixtures and fittings.

 

In removing all these items, the Tenant must:

 

  (c) not damage the Premises; and

 

  (d) promptly make good any damage which the Tenant does cause.


Any fixtures and fittings that the Landlord has agreed need not be removed by the Tenant at the termination of this lease shall, to the extent they have not been transferred to an incoming tenant of the Premises, become the property of the Landlord.

 

16. Signage

 

The Tenant may erect and maintain signs (including illuminated signs), logos, advertisements or notices:

 

  (a) in, on or over the Premises relating to the Tenant or any sub-tenant of the Tenant, or the nature or conduct of the business on the Premises; and

 

  (b) in, on or over such other parts of the Building as are reasonably required by the Tenant to identify the location of the Premises,

 

of a similar type and size to those erected and maintained by other occupiers of the Building and the Landlord (other than the Landlord’s internal and external main signs naming the Building) subject only to approval by the Landlord which will not be unreasonably withheld and after obtaining any necessary approvals or permits from relevant authorities

 

17. General

17.6 Relationship of parties

 

Nothing expressed or implied in this lease may be deemed or treated by the parties or by any third party as creating the relationship of partnership, principal and agent, or joint venture between the parties. The parties understand and agree that neither the method of computation of Rent nor any other provision in this lease, nor any acts of the parties, will be deemed to create any relationship between the parties other than that of Landlord and Tenant on the terms and conditions in this lease.


17.7 Holding over

 

If the Tenant continues to occupy the Premises with the Landlord’s consent after the expiry or earlier termination of the Term or the period of any validly exercised option, the Tenant will become a monthly tenant only at a monthly rental equal to a monthly proportion of the total annual Rent payable by the Tenant under this lease at that time and otherwise on the same terms and conditions as those contained in this lease so far as applicable.

If any part of this lease is or becomes void or unenforceable, that part is or will be severed from this lease to the intent that all parts that are not or do not become void or unenforceable remain in full force and effect and are unaffected by that severance.

B. The Transition Period for this Services Schedule is the period commencing on the Commencement Date and ending on the earlier of:

D. During the Transition Period MGL will manage the Third Party Providers and related services on behalf of the Buyer to at least the same extent, in the same manner and at the same level of performance as such management and related services were provided to the Business immediately prior to the Commencement Date.

The Buyer will not be charged under this Agreement for the labour and on-costs attributable to any seconded employees and any such amounts will be deducted from the amounts set out in Appendix 1.

Throughout the applicable Transition Periods, the Buyer will ensure that each seconded employee, or, in the absence of the seconded employee, a suitably qualified replacement, is available to perform the relevant Services and acts under the management and control of, and observes all reasonable directions of, MGL in relation to the provision of the relevant Services.

In implementing the Safety Net system within the MGL Group, the Buyer agrees to comply with all requirements of the project plan and detailed specifications developed for that implementation by or on behalf of MGL prior to the Commencement Date and all reasonable requirements of MGL communicated by MGL to the Buyer after the Commencement Date in relation to the matters dealt with by the project plan and the specifications.

 

  (b) MGL will pay a reasonable fee, calculated on a time and materials basis (which will not include any charge for personnel whose costs are included in the Charges set out in Appendix 1) and subject to MGL’s prior written approval of the fee, for the services performed by the Buyer under section 6.1 (a) of this Services Schedule.

 

16.


  (c) The Buyer may, at its option and cost, replicate the Safety Net system implemented for MGL under section 6.1(a) of this Services Schedule provided that the Buyer must first pay MGL 70% of the total costs incurred by MGL in relation to the implementation of the Safety Net worker’s compensation system on or after the Commencement Date and provided further that the Buyer will be responsible for obtaining and paying for all equipment and third party consents and all other costs necessary to enable the Buyer to replicate the MGL system and use the replicate instance of the system.

 

  (d) The Buyer will provide and maintain the interface which currently operates from the SAP System to the Safety Net system. In order to enable MGL to meet its workers’ compensation reporting obligations (including any such obligations in respect of Contracted Members), the Buyer will ensure that the SAP record configuration in existence in the SAP System immediately prior to the Commencement Date for information required by the Safety Net system is maintained and that, at all relevant times, the interface enables MGL to extract information from the SAP System in accordance with ordinary practice prior to the Commencement Date.

 

  (e) If MGL transitions to a workers’ compensation system other than Safety Net, the Buyer will ensure that the SAP record configuration in existence in the SAP System immediately prior to the Commencement Date for information required by the Safety Net system is maintained. The Buyer will comply with all reasonable requests in relation to changes required to the SAP System to enable MGL to operate the new workers’ compensation system and meet its workers’ compensation reporting obligations. MGL will pay the reasonable costs incurred by the Buyer in making such changes, provided that MGL has first been notified in writing of the costs and has approved them in writing.

 

  (f) Without limiting clause 5 of the Agreement, if the Buyer replaces or upgrades the SAP System, the Buyer will ensure that, throughout the remainder of the Term the record configuration of the new system is compatible with, and ensures the continuation of the previous level of data interchange with, MGL’s Safety Net system. The Buyer will, at its own cost, comply with all reasonable requests for, and will make, the changes required to maintain the necessary interface and record configuration to enable MGL to meet its workers’ compensation reporting obligations.

 

6.2 Upgrade of SAP

 

The Buyer acknowledges that it is a fundamental term, of this Services Schedule that, if SAP determines that it will not support the SAP R/3 Application Package Release 4.5B component of the SAP system, MGL will be entitled to direct the Buyer and the Buyer will be obliged to upgrade the SAP R/3 Application Package Release 4.5B component of the SAP System to Release 4.6 and implement that upgrade so that the upgraded SAP System operates for the MGL Group and the Contracted Members in accordance with the Agreement by no later than 30 April 2004 (“Upgrade Project”). Accordingly, if MGL gives this direction the Buyer and MGL agree that:

 

  (a) the Buyer will supply sufficient properly qualified employees of the Buyer, or, subject to clause 6.2 of the Agreement, procure properly qualified Third Party Providers to supply, all services required to successfully carry out the Upgrade Project;

 

  (b) all costs of the Upgrade Project, including obtaining all software licences, replacement hardware and supplying, or procuring the supply of, all services required to effect the Upgrade will be paid by the Buyer;

  (i) a project plan for the Upgrade Project showing, among other things, milestones for the achievement of each part of the Upgrade Project for the MGL Group and the Contracted Members and dates by which the Buyer will deliver and, where relevant, carry out acceptance tests for, each deliverable; and

 

  (ii) a detailed technical specification for the Upgrade Project;

 

  (d) within 10 Business Days (or such other time as the Parties may agree) after receiving each document referred to in section 6.2(c) of this Services Schedule, MGL will notify the Buyer of reasonable changes which it requires to be made to the document and the document containing those reasonable changes, if any, will then be the project plan and detailed technical specification for the Upgrade Project;

 

  (e) during the term of the Upgrade Project, the Parties may agree on changes to the project plan and the detailed technical specifications;

 

  (f) the Buyer will ensure that the Upgrade Project is carried out in accordance with the project plan and the detailed technical specification;

 

  (g) when the SAP System as upgraded by the Upgrade Project operates in accordance with all acceptance criteria agreed between the Parties, or in the absence of agreement operates in accordance with performance criteria for the upgraded SAP System which the Buyer has set for its own business, the Buyer will migrate the MGL Group to its own instance of the upgrade SAP System and install that instance on a server designated and paid for by MGL and ensure that the instance operates and supports the businesses operated by the MGL Group Members to the reasonable satisfaction of MGL;

 

  (h) the Buyer hereby grants to MGL and severally to each MGL Group Member and Contracted Member a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive, transferable, fully paid and royalty free licence, with an unlimited right of sub-licence, to use, copy, modify, support and enhance all material produced by or on behalf of the Buyer in the course of carrying out the Upgrade Project (“Project Material”) and the Buyer warrants that it will obtain all rights necessary for the Buyer to grant that licence;

 

  (i) when the Upgrade Project is complete in accordance with all acceptance criteria agreed between the Parties, or in the absence of agreement operates in accordance with performance criteria for the upgraded SAP System which the Buyer has set for its own business, the Buyer will promptly deliver to MGL a complete copy of all source code and object for the Project Material, and all relevant technical, functional and user documentation, programming tools, notes and other materials required to enable the MGL Group Members to use, copy, modify, enhance and support the upgrade SAP System;

 

  (j) MGL will pay the Buyer the sum of $500,000 in consideration of:

 

  (i) all Services provided by and on behalf of the Buyer in relation to the Upgrade Project;

 

  (ii) the cost of all software licences and hardware required for the Upgrade Project and the continued use of such software licences, for the remainder of their respective terms, by the MGL Group and the Contracted Members of the upgraded SAP System after the Transition Period for the SAP Services; and

 

18.


  (iii) the licence granted to the MGL Group Members and Contracted Members in section 6.2(h) of this Services Schedule;

 

  (k) MGL will pay the Buyer the $500,000 payable under section 6.2(j) progressively as and when the Buyer makes milestone payments in accordance with its contract with the Third Party Provider for the Upgrade Project. The amount of each of MGL’s progress payments will be proportionate (relative to the $500,000 fee) to the amount of the Buyer’s corresponding progress payment (relative to the total amount payable by the Buyer to the Third Party Provider).

 

  (l) MGL may, at any time during the Upgrade Project, notify the Buyer in writing that MGL no longer wishes to participate in the Upgrade Project in which case:

 

  (i) MGL will pay the Buyer a percentage of the amount referred to in section 6.2(j)of this Services Schedule calculated according to the proportion of agreed milestones of the Upgrade Project which have been successfully completed; and

 

  (ii) the Buyer will, promptly after receipt of the notice, deliver to MGL all material of the kind referred to in section 6.2(i)of this Services Schedule developed to the date of the notice and the licence granted in section 6.2(h) of this Services Schedule will apply in respect of that material;

 

  (m) each Party will appoint a suitably qualified and experienced project manager for the Upgrade Project who may be, or else must report to, that Party’s Transition Services Manager appointed under clause 10.1 of the Agreement; and

 

  (n) the quote received by MGL from Bearing Point Australia Pty Ltd (“Bearing Point”) for the Upgrade Project is attached in Appendix 3 of this Agreement and the Buyer acknowledges that:

 

  (i) the information in Appendix 3 is provided solely for the information of the Buyer and, notwithstanding clause 1.2(d) of this Agreement, does not form part of this Agreement;

 

  (ii) neither MGL nor Bearing Point nor any of their respective Related Bodies Corporate represent that the information as to costs contained in Appendix 3 will be the actual cost of all or any part of the Upgrade Project or that any other part of Appendix 3 forms, or will form, part of any contract entered into before or after the Commencement Date by any of MGL and Bearing Point or the Buyer and Bearing Point;

 

  (iii) to the extent that all or any part of Appendix 3 does constitute a representation or other inducement made by any of MGL or Bearing Point or any of their respective Related Bodies Corporate, the Buyer does not enter into this Agreement in reliance on any such representation or other inducement.

 

6.3 Other assistance

 

If MGL or any Contracted Member decides, at any time during the Transition Period for the SAP Services, to engage any person other than the Buyer to provide any or all of the SAP Services, the Buyer will use reasonable endeavours, at the Buyer’s expense, to co-operate with MGL or that Contracted Member (as the case may be) and that person to ensure the successful transition of the SAP Services to that other person.

 

19.


7. Obligations to third parties

 

Subject to the other provisions of this Services Schedule and the Shared Services Agreement, to the extent the Buyer has made MGL specifically aware in writing, prior to the Commencement Date, of the Buyer’s obligations to any Third Party Provider, and has requested in writing that MGL observe those obligations that are applicable to MGL as a recipient of Services from the Buyer, then MGL will not do anything that would cause the Buyer to be in breach of those obligations. The Buyer acknowledges that MGL would not cause the Buyer to breach its agreement with the Third Party Provider merely through entering into this Agreement or receiving Services from the Buyer.

 

If the Buyer makes any subsequent requests to MGL in respect of any agreements with a Third Party Provider, MGL must consider the request and not unreasonably withhold its consent to be similarly bound by this section 7, in respect of the Buyer’s obligations under those third party agreements. Nothing in this section 7 requires MGL to incur any additional costs, without MGL’s prior agreement in accordance with the process in clause 5 of the Agreement.

Service Obligation

 

The service obligation of the Buyer is to provide cost effective solutions to work requests and enhancements to the SAP Production system.

 

Service Description

 

Enhancement and work requests will be approved by MGL and conveyed to the Buyer Group Corporate SAP Manager. Requests will be assessed by both Buyer Group Finance and Buyer to ensure they are consistent with the functionality required by Buyer Group from the SAP System, will not cause any problems and that Buyer has resources available to carry out the requested work. Once approved by Buyer, MGL will be notified and the work requests will be prioritised and batched into work packages for implementation as part of the scheduled release process or sooner if appropriate. Where the Buyer, acting reasonably, assesses that fulfilment of a work request would have a material adverse impact on the ordinary business requirements of Buyer Group, MGL will be notified promptly that the work request will not be fulfilled.

 

Buyer will carry out, reasonable change requests arising from legislative or regulatory requirements (such as enterprise bargaining agreement changes) or change requests required to maintain the “as is where is” status of the SAP System or to effect bug fixes and other maintenance tasks. Change requests for enhancements to functionality currently provided to MGL will be optional for Buyer depending on a reasonable assessment by the Buyer of the Buyer’s available resources and other conflicting priorities. Buyer will nevertheless use reasonable endeavours to have resources available to carry out the requested work.

 

MGL will have reasonable access to the development and QAS systems for the development of MGL specific reporting functionality and user acceptance testing of any developments which would reasonably be expected to impact MGL operations. Buyer will retain control over transport to production.

 

Buyer will not charge MGL for any benefits to MGL arising from changes made to the SAP System for the benefit of Buyer Group.

Projects

 

Projects are Type F Support Services of larger scope than simple work requests and enhancements. Work undertaken as part of this service will be of a planned nature, with all deliverables being project based. Projects will be optional for Buyer depending on Buyer’s available resources and other conflicting priorities, except to the extent the MGL reasonably requests the provision of migration assistance in respect of the Support Services and the SAP System. Buyer will nevertheless use reasonable endeavours to have resources available to carry out the requested work.

 

MGL will detail the functional requirements and specification for each project. The project, if accepted by Buyer, will be executed by Buyer. Buyer will provide a written quotation for each project or group of projects (including price variation risk assessments) and will charge MGL for the agreed project scope in accordance with the quotation (unless otherwise agreed).

 

4.5 SCHEDULED RELEASE

 

Service Description

 

Corrections for Priority 3 and 4 problems and solutions to enhancements, work requests and projects will be implemented as part of a scheduled release (currently weekly, but can be changed by Buyer with reasonable notification to MGL). For all corrections, where required, all affected documentation will be updated. MGL Application Group will be forwarded appropriate notification so that impacted end users may be notified of the impending change.

 

When it is necessary to effect changes to the production system outside the planned release schedule which, in Buyer’s reasonable opinion, are likely to have an adverse impact on MGL use of the SAP System, Buyer will first give MGL notice of the changes and consult with MGL on ways to minimise such impact, and apply procedures to ensure the integrity of the release program is maintained.

 

4.6 MONTHLY REPORT AND SUPPORT SERVICES REVIEW MEETING

 

Buyer will attend a SAP Support Services Review meeting to prioritise service requests, report progress against previous support activities and statistics, and to discuss any other issues relating to the Support Services. This meeting will be held monthly.

SAP 4.6 Upgrade

[GRAPHIC APPEARS HERE]

 

Executive Summary

 

BearingPoint (formerly KPMG Consulting), would like to thank Mayne for the opportunity to respond to your Request for Proposal to provide an SAP 4.6 Upgrade.

 

We recognise the importance of this project to Mayne and understand the need to select a partner who is able to perform the upgrade in the most efficient and risk free manner whilst managing the overall project costs. In order to provide Mayne with a risk free approach as well as a cost effective solution, BearingPoint have partnered with HCL Technologies (HCLT) to ensure that both of these key areas are addressed. We have an existing relationship with HCLT, and will use the model currently being used on the ANSTO SAP R/3 implementation on this Upgrade project.

 

BearingPoint will provide the leadership, knowledge and will be the key interface with Mayne, whilst HCLT will provide the specific technical skills to complement the BearingPoint team. This in turn ensures that we are able to provide a proposal to Mayne that is cost effective.

 

Whilst we understand that this project is based on a technical upgrade, this project will affect mission critical business functions such as HR/Payroll, and will have a significant impact on the business. In order to minimise these potential risks, we will utilise our extensive knowledge of Mayne’s business environment and an experienced team who are SAP certified for upgrades both within Australia and globally. Many members of our team have first hand experience of working on projects with Mayne and have a clear understanding of the Mayne SAP environment.

 

BearingPoint have a mature SAP practice, and our consultants have an average of 12 years business experience. We have proven experience in minimising disruption to the business and managing risk during Upgrades which will ensure the effective delivery of the project. Based on our in depth knowledge of Mayne’s environment and our experience in implementing rapid, low risk SAP upgrades the key strengths of our proposal are as follows:

 

  Managing Risk

 

We have worked with Mayne over the past 18 months and have a strong understanding of potential risks associated with this upgrade, particularly in relation to the mission critical Payroll system. In addition to the significant upgrade experience of our proposed team, we will utilise BearingPoint consultants who have an in depth knowledge of Mayne, and have worked with you before.

 

  Minimising Disruption to the Business

 

Our knowledge of the current SAP environment at Mayne coupled with our proven SAP Upgrade experience with similar organisations in Australia ensures we are able to proactively highlight potential issues and ensure that strategies are employed to overcome them. Areas of focus in minimising disruption to the business would include the Payroll area, ensuring that staff are paid accurately and on time.

 

  Cost Effective Delivery

 

Recognising the competitive environment in which Mayne exists, we have focussed our proposal on delivering a low risk, cost effective Upgrade. To achieve this we will partner with HCL Technologies, one of India’s leading global IT services companies. BearingPoint and HCLT have an

existing relationship, and combining the strengths of both organisations will provide the depth of experience required to minimise the risk associated with the upgrade whilst providing a cost competitive service.

 

In summary, BearingPoint are committed to providing a low risk, cost effective Upgrade to Mayne. We have a thorough understanding of the Mayne environment, and will utilise a team of experienced consultants who have worked with Mayne before to deliver an effective, timely Upgrade.

Scope

 

Functional & Technical Scope

 

BearingPoint has formulated the SAP Upgrade project scope based on:

 

  Request for Proposal for SAP 4.6 Upgrade (dated March, 2003);

 

  Our extensive knowledge of Mayne’s SAP systems and business processes acquired through our project work at Mayne over the past 2 years; and

 

  An Upgrade scoping study conducted in June 2002 by BearingPoint in conjunction with Mayne. The scoping was formulated based on interviews with Mayne’s key IT representatives in each of the functional and technical areas of SAP.

 

The upgrade of Mayne’s enterprise system from version 4.5B to 4.6c will require a combination of technical and functional activities. We understand that Mayne wish to approach this project as a technical project, and as such, BearingPoint will minimise the potential functional activities within the upgrade project. However it is important to understand that there is a significant amount of functional change in SAP HR/Payroll from 4.5B to 4.6c and this must be a key area of activity within the Upgrade project.

 

Some of the key functional activities that are included in the Upgrade project scope are outlined below:

 

HR/Payroll

 

Offcycle Workbench

   This was identified in the RFP and our scoping exercise.

Leave Configuration

   Due to significant changes in this area from 4.5b to 4.6c this is major upgrade activity.

New payroll schema (Q000)

   Functionality requiring re-configuration in 4.6c

Time evaluation

   Functionality requiring re-configuration in 4.6c

Personnel actions

   Functionality requiring re-configuration in 4.6c

 

BearingPoint have built the Upgrade project timeframe and proposal assuming that the project activities will not include resolution of any current issues with HR/Payroll configuration, with the exception of leave configuration as outlined above.

 

FI/CO & MM

 

FI/CO and MM functionality are fairly stable and the transition from 4.5b to 4.6c is not regarded as significant. There are no major functional changes to be incorporated into the Upgrade project scope.

SafetyNet

 

BearingPoint’s knowledge of the SafetyNet system at Mayne will be critical in reducing the risk associated with this activity. It is proposed in the upgrade that SafetyNet is brought onto the Enterprise SAP system. The process of migrating the SafetyNet product will require:

 

  The implementation of the latest SafetyNet product from C-Net onto the Upgraded Mayne system.

 

  The analyses of any enhancements made since the last upgrade of the SafetyNet product at Mayne.

 

  The configuration of the SafetyNet product in the new environment. This will be based on the configuration in the current SafetyNet environment.

 

  The migration of the SafetyNet data from the current SafetyNet server to the new upgraded Enterprise system.

 

The SafetyNet system will also require unit testing and be included in all of user acceptance test phases and parallel test.

 

Security

 

SAP’s approach to security alters significantly with version 4.6c. The concept of a “role” is introduced and our experience has found that this will result in a significant degree of re-work.

 

Developments

 

There are a number of Mayne developments (~300), front ends (3) and interfaces which will require review with respect to the impact of the 4.6c upgrade. This scoping is allowed for in the project plan and an initial estimate of effort is included allowing for adaptation of these developments. Obviously, variation in these numbers could affect the overall project timeframes, although it is anticipated that some of this effort could be undertaken in parallel to reduce overall elapsed time.

 

Basis

 

To ensure that business critical changes can still be made to the productive Enterprise system it will be necessary to maintain a 4.5b development and production environment during the upgrade. The QAS system will however be removed from the landscape and be upgraded to 4.6c so that integration, user acceptance and parallel testing can be performed. A new development server will be required to act as the 4.6c development environment for the purposes of configuration, development and unit testing.

 

BearingPoint expect that the operating environments for 4.5b and 4.6c will remain unchanged during the upgrade and therefore assume the upgrade will be homogenous. However a patch will need to be applied to Informix so that it is at version 7.30.FC7A, which is the certified version for 4.6c.

 

BearingPoint will provide an SAP Basis consultant on a part time throughout the upgrade project. They will work closely with Mayne’s Basis staff to ensure a smooth transition to 4.6c

Change Management and Training

 

Although the majority of upgrade projects are intended to be purely technical there are always varying degree of changes required to existing functions. Of particular note are the changes to the GUI (Graphical User Interface) and some of the key transactions. These changes give rise to training and change management issues. Through our experience of upgrades we have found that the clear and concise communication of the changes to the SAP system, early in the project, are important in ensuring strong acceptance of the upgrade. Our experience with Mayne has found that newsletters are an effective means of communication given the geographically disbursed nature of many SAP users.

 

Our approach will be to identify key stakeholders within the business to facilitate the change in their respective areas. Our understanding of the change management issues within Mayne will assist in ensuring the right information is provided to the right stakeholders throughout the project.

 

BearingPoint has worked very effectively with Mayne’s change management and training staff on previous projects and will continue to use the support and relationship management role on the upgrade project.

 

Many of our clients have seen the upgrade as an excellent opportunity to re-train certain staff in the key functions of SAP. Given the maturity of SAP in your organisation training can be tailored more specifically to your people’s roles. Our experience at Mayne has found that instructor lead training is the most effective means of skilling Mayne staff with the appropriate degree of SAP expertise. Given the geographically dispersed number of sites training will need to be carefully planned and executed. It is envisaged that the majority of training will be in the areas of HR / Payroll and SafetyNet claims, however training on the GUI and some new FI/CO and MM transactions will be required.

 

Our Approach

 

The methodology that BearingPoint use for SAP R/3 Upgrades is known as R2i for SAP Upgrades (Rapid Return on Investment. R2i for SAP combines the key strengths of the ValueSAP methodology (formerly Accelerated SAP “ASAP”) in implementation plans and system tools with BearingPoint’s expertise and experience in program management of SAP implementations. R2I for SAP Upgrades includes the following five major phases, the following section provides a brief description of major project activities in the Mayne context.

 

Project Preparation

 

Project Preparation will encompass detailed project planning and the creation of a project office. We will utilise project standards and processes used on the EBP and SafetyNet projects Technical preparation is also performed in this phase. It is recommended that any additional hardware required be ordered prior to the commencement of the project.

 

As indicated in the scope a significant amount of work is required around Leave Configuration at Mayne. Therefore it is recommended that data collection of leave information, which will be used to configure SAP 4.6c Payroll, commences during this phase of the project, otherwise the project’s critical path will be materially affected.

A data migration strategy will also be formulated for SafetyNet in this phase.

 

Our expectation is that Mayne will assist in the technical requirements planning and preparation from a basis perspective.

 

Blueprint

 

It is recommended that the Reverse Business Engineer tool is utilised during the blueprint phase to determine the key transactions that are utilised within Mayne’s business and to assist in the prioritisation of functions for testing. The blueprint will analyse each key functional and technical area in greater detail determining where changes to functionality will be required. It is anticipated that the majority of the work will be relate to HR / Payroll and the integration of SafetyNet.

 

BearingPoint’s experience in previous upgrades has found that strong emphasis on the need for significant and close involvement of key users with the project team. To this end Mayne representatives will be required during this phase to assist in the gathering and compilation of the information to be included in the blueprint. Mayne will be required to review and sign off the blueprint prior to the commencement of the realisation phase for each stream.

 

Mayne will also be required to perform an audit on existing test scenarios and develop and new scenarios during this phase. Due to the year-end black out period it is recommended that this activity occurs during the blueprint.

 

Detailed analysis of the developments required to be undertaken in the realisation phase will also be conducted in this phase.

 

Realisation

 

The realisation phase can be divided into three key parts:

 

  Configuration, development and unit testing in DEV 4.6c

 

Configuration and unit testing activities will commence for each functional area as soon as the blueprint is complete and the development 4.6c environment is ready. As the HR / Payroll components will take longer to complete than the FI/CO, MM and Security tasks those teams will roll off the project until Integration testing to reduce project costs.

 

Due to the financial year-end black out it is anticipated that the majority of the configuration will be undertaken by BearingPoint staff, therefore Mayne’s involvement in the blueprint phase will be critical to ensure the system meets the businesses requirements.

 

  Integration, Parallel and User Acceptance Testing (UAT) in QAS 4.6c

 

Integration and UAT will be performed for each functional area. Integration testing will be performed by BearingPoint staff, they will ensure that the test scenarios are accurate and that the system performs as designed in the blueprint. This will ensure that the majority of issues encountered in UAT are minimal. Integration testing will also include the testing of interfaces detailed in the RFP.

 

Parallel testing of Mayne’s Payroll will include two monthly, two weekly and two fortnightly runs. Both BearingPoint and Mayne staff will be required throughout this testing.

 

It is recommended that Mayne upgrade their QAS environment so a full copy of production can be loaded onto this system to ensure accurate integration, parallel and user acceptance testing.

SAP 4.6 Upgrade

[GRAPHIC APPEARS HERE]

 

Although a significant portion of the project is consumed by testing it is seen as critical to ensure minimal business disruption during the upgrade of the production environment.

 

Our experience has demonstrated that involvement by IT and business representatives in testing is a critical success factor to any upgrade project.

 

  Training

 

Instructor lead end user training will be conducted prior to the production upgrade. The training will be scheduled as close as possible to the go-live to ensure that the skills learnt in training can be utilised as soon as possible.

 

Realisation Production

 

This phase covers the upgrade of the production system to 4.6c. Once the production environment has been upgrade to 4.6c SafetyNet information will be migrated from the existing stand-alone SafetyNet environment. This is done after the upgrade as the data structures and configuration related to SafetyNet will not be present in the 4.5b system prior to the upgrade.

 

This phase also includes end user training. End user training will be targeted to those key areas that are significantly impacted by the upgrade, such as HR / Payroll / Claims. Other areas such as Finance and Procurement (in Hospitals and Pathology) will require a brief introduction to the new 4.6c GUI (Graphical User Interface) and an overview of any key transactions altered in the upgrade.

 

Go-Live and Support

 

One week of post go live support will be provided for Finance, Materials Management and Security. Given the criticality and volume of changes in the HR/Payroll project two weeks of post go live support is recommended.

 

General Assumptions

 

  Mayne SAP production data will be copied into the QAS system for the required parallel testing.

 

  There will be no other companies running their payrolls or managing HR data on the Mayne server. This is in relation to the current use of the Mayne server by Toll and Linfox.

 

  AON will be able to access the upgraded 4.6 server via the current dial on demand link.

 

  All Mayne Production and Production Support SAP instances are to be upgraded to release 4.6c (except the Food Services SAP environment).

 

  Mayne’s existing 4.5b system is up to date with LCPs and Hotpacks

 

  User population is 1000 people, 90% located at 3 Melbourne metropolitan locations. The exact numbers of non Melbourne staff requiring training needs confirmation and it may be possible to deliver local training (eg 10 RIMS train 70 Imprest officers).

 

  Mayne business users on the project team have strong working knowledge of their functional area of SAP and Mayne business processes. In addition, access to these business users will be facilitated for the project team.

Implementation Plan

 

The implementation timeframe is based on:

 

  The project has a five-month implementation timeframe with an additional two weeks of post go-live support, with a planned start date of 05 May 2003.

 

  Recognising the need to deliver the 4.6c by November the go-live date is scheduled for the end of September.

 

  Although a technical upgrade the functional activities to be undertaken in the area of HR / Payroll directly impact the project’s critical path and thus drive the overall timeframe. Some of the key critical path activities include; leave configuration for HR/PayrolI, unit testing HR/Payroll configuration and Parallel testing for payroll.

 

  The plan recognises the black out period during the financial year end where no activities are scheduled for Mayne resources. Mayne resources are required primarily during the blueprint phase, User Acceptance Testing and Parallel testing for payroll..

 

  Parallel testing for Payroll is scheduled over a nine week period and incorporates four runs of weekly and fortnightly and two runs of monthly pays.

 

  40 days of training is estimated. An exact estimate of effort will be made as part of the training needs analysis during the project preparation phase.

 

  59 days of development has been estimated for the project. 20 days of this is allocated to SPAU work. This estimate is based on our knowledge of Mayne, the SafetyNet project and information provided in the RFP. A final estimate of development will be made following the completion of the blueprint.

 

  Test scenarios will be developed by Mayne’s IT SAP experts in conjunction with BearingPoint to reduce the overall implementation time frame.

 

  An additional server will be required for the 4.6c development environment. This will need to be in place within 3 weeks of the commencement of the project.

 

  Given our previous project experience at Mayne we have included 8 days of contingency following the completion of parallel testing prior to the commencement of the production upgrade.

 

  One week of post go live support is provided for finance, materials management and security areas while two weeks is provided in the areas of HR / Payroll and SafetyNet.

BHPBilliton

Marketing Division SAP Upgrade to 4.6c

 

Profile

 

BHP Billiton is a global leader in the resources industry. Formed from a merger between BHP and Billiton, they have some 38,000 employees working in more than 100 operations in approximately 20 countries. BHP Billiton occupy the industry lead or near industry leading positions in major commodity businesses, and have substantial interests in oil, gas, liquefied natural gas, nickel, diamonds and silver.

 

BHP Billiton is a significant user of SAP R/3. Its Marketing division has made a significant investment in SAP solutions since the merger of BHP and Billiton. BearingPoint has recently managed the technical upgrade of BHPBilliton’s R/3 system from 4.6b to 4.6c.

 

Challenge

 

The technical upgrade of R/3 from 4.6b to 4.6c initially appeared to be a simple task, however the project presented major complexities. The complications came about from the implementation of the Industry Solution for Mining (IS-Mine) as part of the upgrade. This introduced new functionality and changes to existing transactions that made the upgrade equivalent to an upgrade from 4.5 to 4.6 in terms of complexity.

 

The upgrade was driven by the need to implement IS-Mine in a rapid timeframe to meet the deadline for the APO (Advanced Planner and Optimiser) rollout. IS-Mine was required to support some of the key integration points between R/3 and APO. The project was given a six-week window to test and perform the upgrade.

 

The SAP R/3 environment also relies on integration with SAP’s Business Warehouse, APO (already implemented without IS-Mine functionality for one commodity business) and a middleware tool. Therefore it was necessary to test the impact of the upgrade on not just the core R/3 system but also any system interfacing with it.

 

The SAP R/3 environment within BHP Billiton’s marketing operations is mission critical. Extended outages at most sites can cause delays in shipping product resulting in the loss of many millions of dollars a day. Therefore it was important for the upgrade project to minimise the impact on the business and ensure that all critical functionality was extensively tested.

 

The short time frame allowed for the upgrade project was also driven by the need to minimise the impact on other SAP projects being undertaken by BHPBilliton. The rollout of SAP to all of the commodity businesses will continue throughout 2003 and 2004. In most upgrade projects all but the most critical of changes are allowed to the SAP R/3 system. However given the program of work being undertaken by BHP Billiton the upgrade needed to maintain parallel development paths to allow the continuation of projects and the go-live of the Aluminium business in Brazil. This created significant challenges for the project team in co-ordinating the changes in the existing 4.5b development path and the new 4.6c path.

SAP 4.6 Upgrade

[GRAPHIC APPEARS HERE]

 

Approach

 

A two-step methodology was employed where a test upgrade was performed to assess the impact on the production system before the actual upgrade of development, QA and production commenced.

 

Based on the short timeframe, it was essential to ensure that as much preliminary testing could be performed on the 4.6c / IS-Mine system prior to the actual upgrade of the development, QA and production environments. To this end a one-month preliminary testing phase was performed using a copy of the SAP Production database. A dedicated team of testers, who would then participate in the upgrade performed this testing using existing testing scenarios developed for the initial implementations. Problems encountered in the 4.6c / IS-Mine test system were resolved then logged and in most cases exported via the transport system to avoid re-work during the upgrade.

 

The preliminary testing also allowed the project to identify any change management and training issues that may have arisen from altered or replaced transactions. Effective communication of the upgrade and its impacts on the user community was critical as users were located in many time zones across five continents.

 

Once the upgrade commenced a rigorous change process was put in place to manage the simultaneous rollout of Aluminium Brazil and the day-to-day break fixes required to maintain the live system. This change process ensured that both the existing 4.6b and 4.6c development paths were both maintained consistently so that the upgrade testing was accurate. This required strong project management and business commitment to enforce this on a global operation that was 24/7.

 

The two basis teams were utilised to ensure that at critical times the upgrade could continue round the clock to meet the timeframes.

 

As the outage to the production system required a minimal down time, the upgrade was predominately performed in an on-line mode. Using this technique, new to SAP, it was possible to load the majority of the 4.6c objects into the R/3 production environment while the system was still able to perform transaction processing. This meant that only the final hours of the upgrade required an outage to the production users.

 

Results

 

The R/3 upgrade was completed in a six-week time frame with an additional four weeks up front for preliminary testing. Within the six-week period the development, QA and production R/3 systems were upgraded. In addition the integration points between R/3 and APO, BW and their middleware solution were also upgraded and tested.

 

A new client landscape was also introduced in this time to bring greater discipline and a better testing environment to the existing businesses and future rollouts. Minimal system disruption was encountered and all business critical functions were unaffected at the completion of the upgrade.

 

Value

 

The initial reason BHP Billiton engaged BearingPoint was to leverage our extensive upgrade knowledge and expertise. The upgrade approach meant that the aggressive timeframes were achieved and the risks to the operations of BHP Billiton’s sales and marketing arm minimised.

 

The project team established strong relations with key business personnel and worked closely with other consulting organisations undertaking parallel projects, this has led to further work on BHPBilliton’s next major rollout to the Base Metals business.

SAP 4.6 Upgrade

[GRAPHIC APPEARS HERE]

 

ACI

Upgrade of ACI’s SAP R/3 System from 4.0b to 4.6c

 

Profile

 

ACI Glass Packaging is Australia’s major bottle manufacturer and the largest Glass Packaging supplier in the southern Hemisphere, with five Australian plants.

 

Challenge

 

ACI Glass Packaging has the full suite of SAP R/3 modules including FI/CO, Production Planning, Materials and Inventory Management, Human Resources and Payroll. With this breadth of functionality there were a significant number of complexities in the upgrade from 4.0b to 4.6c and careful attention to system testing was required as part of the project

 

ACI Glass Packaging also relies heavily on an interface to i2 which performs many of the production planning functions for its operations. This complex interface needed to be thoroughly tested to ensure that the new functionality introduced in 4.6c was still compatible with the i2 interface.

 

ACI’s operations extend beyond Australia’s shores with operations in New Zealand and Asia. For the purposes of the upgrade it was necessary to keep the New Zealand operations up to date with the progress of the project and ensure that the changes to the system were adequately communicated.

 

Following the initial implementation of R/3 several of the players involved in the implementation departed the team. As a consequence the knowledge of the system and its inner workings were held within a few key people. A challenge for the project was to expand this knowledge throughout the organisation to improve the SAP R/3 skill base.

 

ACI were an early adopter of SAP’s HR / Payroll system in Australia. The majority of this functionality was designed specifically for Australian requirements. As part of R/3 4.6c SAP brought the Australian functionality in line with other countries around the world. Although still compliant with Australian requirements the majority for functionality was re-written and would therefore require extensive testing to ensure that this mission critical system still performed as expected.

 

Approach

 

The ValueSAP for Upgrades, then known as ASAP for Upgrades was employed as an implementation methodology for this project. This assisted in framing the implementation approach and structuring the program of work. ValueSAP’s knowledge database was heavily relied on to provide information on the delta’s in functionality between 4.0b and 4.6c.

 

The testing utilised existing test scripts developed for the original implementation. These required some rework as some of the functionality had altered. Although the scope of the upgrade was purely technical it was necessary to introduce new functionality to comply with standard changes in 4.6c. In particular there were some fundamental changes in the areas of repetitive manufacturing and HR/Payroll. The greatest impact of these changes came about with the introduction of a new suit of the new 4.6c purchasing transactions.

 

The Reverse Business Engineering (RBE) tool was valuable in analysing the functions that ACI used and more importantly didn’t use. A number of reports and transactions rolled out in the initial implementation had not been used, therefore there was little benefit in testing and supporting these as part of the upgrade. This generated significant time savings to the upgrade team.

SAP 4.6 Upgrade

[GRAPHIC APPEARS HERE]

 

Results

 

The upgrade project was executed in a three-month time frame. This included the successful execution of training and the introduction of new functionality. The changes to the HR / Payroll did not impact the payroll which was critical in this type of workplace.

 

Value

 

The Upgrade to R/3 4.6c provided ACI Glass Packaging with a solid platform for future enhancements to their ERP system. Since the upgrade ACI Glass Packaging has enabled a number of its business transactions for e-commerce. Utilising SAP’s Business Connector, ACI now trades electronically with some its key customers. The introduction of the SAP 4.6c ‘Enjoy’ transactions has provided a greater degree of acceptance amongst the user community for the product. The re-training program broadened the knowledge of the SAP system generating a greater return on the initial investment in SAP R/3.

 

ANSTO (Australian Nuclear Science & Technology Organisation)

 

Implementation of SAP R/3

 

Profile

 

ANSTO is Australia’s national nuclear research and development organisation and the centre of Australian nuclear expertise. ANSTO is responsible for delivering specialised advice, scientific services and products to government, industry, academia and other research organisations. ANSTO conducts the majority of its work in the form of research projects, however the organisation also conducts the manufacture of radiopharmaceuticals, the manufacture of engineering equipment to support the research projects and radiopharmaceutical manufacture, and extensive plant maintenance around the site. ANSTO has approximately 850 salaried staff.

 

Challenge

 

In 2001 following a detailed system selection process, ANSTO decided to replace its business system with SAP. BearingPoint was nominated by SAP Australia as the implementation partner.

 

In the past ANSTO had been hampered by disparate and out-dated legacy systems (some of which were entirely paper-based). These systems did not provide the visibility of information that the organisation required. In addition, SAP provided new functionality that further supported the operational activities of the organisation. The objectives of the project were to implement the required modules of SAP R/3 v4.6c in order to provide the organisation with the functionality and visibility of information that it required.

 

Approach

 

The approach taken was selected in order to provide the maximum value to ANSTO, with minimal disruption. Key steps taken to ensure a successful implementation were:

 

  Implementation of standard SAP wherever possible;

 

  Redesign of business processes based on standard SAP processes, prior to the commencement of system design;

 

  A focus on knowledge transfer between the BearingPoint consultants and their ANSTO counterparts in order to ensure that the organisation continued to operate successfully after Go Live with minimal external support;

 

  A phased implementation was adopted in order to enable the organisation to effectively manage the volume of change experienced at any one time. A review was conducted at the completion of each phase in order to fine-tune the implementation process.

SOPA (Sydney Olympic Park Authority)

Upgrade of SOPA’s SAP R/3 System from 3.1h to 4.6c

 

Profile

 

The Sydney Olympic Park Authority (SOPA) is the statutory body constituted to ensure that the 2000 Olympic legacy at Sydney Olympic Park remains an important and vibrant destination.

 

SOPA’s main responsibilities comprise the promotion, co-ordination and management of the development and use of Sydney Olympic Park, including cultural, sporting, educational, commercial, tourist, recreational and entertainment activities and facilities. Furthermore the protection and enhancement of the natural and cultural heritage as well as the operation of public transport facilities within the Sydney Olympic Park are within SOPA’s duties, as are the maintenance and management of the built environment of the Sydney Olympic Park.

 

Currently SOPA employs approximately 130 staff, mainly in finance and administration, and a number of Park Rangers. In 1996 SOPA implemented SAP R/3 version 3.1h to support all finance and controlling processes including planning and reporting, as well as purchasing.

 

Challenge

 

An explicit goal of the project was to “Improve decision-making by providing Managers with meaningful financial information in a timely manner”.

 

On an operative level, this was achieved by:

 

  upgrading the Authority’s Financial Management System (SAP R/3) to the most recent version 4.6c;

 

  training all users as well as the system administrators to ensure new functionality available with 4.6c was applied effectively;

 

  establishing appropriate user roles/profiles and access paths/menus to ensure that user access matched delegations contained in the SOPA Authorities Manual; and

 

  reviewing the existing system configuration and recommending improvements for SOPA Business Units to capture and report on data.

 

A longer term objective of this project was to monitor the uptake of the SAP application with the aim of giving consideration and possible implementation of Project System, Business Information Warehouse, Asset Management and other SAP modules and features that can best support the business processes in SOPA.

 

Approach

 

Based on the short timeframe, it was essential to tailor SAP’s standard upgrade methodology ‘ASAP for upgrade’ to the SOPA-specific needs and requirements for a technically oriented upgrade.

 

In parallel, we strongly emphasised the need for significant and close involvement of key users with the project team as well as the requirement for quick decision-making. It was also paramount to establish a tight training framework enabling SOPA’s user community to both fulfil their day-by-day tasks while at the same time prepare to use the upgraded system immediately after go live. This was essential in order to accomplish the month and year-end processing within a tight reporting schedule.

Results

 

We kicked off the project on 3 June 2002, and after only four weeks we successfully went live on 1 July 2002. Within this timeframe we upgraded both the client’s development and the production server to SAP R/3 version 4.6c and trained SOPA’s user community on how to use their new system.

 

As an extension to the original project scope we also successfully decentralised the clients purchasing process and completely rebuilt the entire authorisation structure to be aligned to SOPA’s Authorisation Manual (relating to the approval of purchase orders).

 

We have received positive feedback from the client at all levels (from Senior Management to end-users) during and after completion of the project about our working style, the skill level of our consultants and the results we delivered within the very short timeframe. During the course of the project, the BearingPoint project team managed to establish an effective trusted relationship with the client, reinforcing our proven ability to deliver projects on time and budget.

 

Value

 

The initial reasons to engage BearingPoint were based on our competitive price as well as the comprehensive and well-structured proposal we delivered within a short timeframe.

 

During the course of the project the client also recognised our ability to not only deliver all technical / functional tasks, but also to effectively and efficiently transfer our knowledge to the client’s user community in order to enable them to get most value out of their new system.

 

The client has recognised that we agreed to extend the original scope of the project to improve the usability of the system without additional cost, and has acknowledged having received excellent value for money within a short timeframe.

Appendix 2 – Proposed Upgrade Approach to Mayne’s System Landscape

 

BearingPoint proposes the following technical landscape to facilitate the requirement of keeping the 4.5 Dev and Prod systems in place until the upgraded 4.6 system is ready for migration. As part of the Blueprint document, the upgrade approach relating to the Systems Landscape, will be describe this task in greater detail.

 

[GRAPHIC APPEARS HERE]

 

The upgrade will require the use of a temporary server for the initial creation of the 4.6 development environment. After the migration has taken place the 4.6 development instance will be copied onto the 4.5 development server.

 

The 4.6c DEV~ environment will be used for:

 

  Unit testing

 

  Configuration of 4.6c specific functionality

 

  Development / SPAU work

 

The QAS 4.5 system will be removed from the 4.5b landscape. A copy of production is recommended to be made onto QAS 4.5 prior to it been upgrade to 4.6c. Once the production environment has been upgraded the QAS 4.6c environment will be reinserted into the new 4.6c landscape.

 

The 4.6c QAS~ environment will be used for:

 

  Integration Testing

 

  User Accpetance Testing

 

  Parallel Testing
