            Exercise of Option

          	 	
            The Company may exercise the Option at any time during the Option Period by delivering to Biogreen a written notice of exercise (Option

                Exercise Notice).

          
	 	 	
            Sale Agreement

          	 	
            Upon exercise of the Option the parties agree to contemporaneously enter into a binding Asset Sale Agreement reflecting the following key terms as set out below.

             

            During the Option Period, the parties will use their best endeavours, acting in good faith to conclude a final form of the Asset Sale Agreement based on these
              principles and generally accepted commercial terms, with a view to being in a position to sign a binding Asset Sale Agreement at the same time as the exercise of  the Option

          

    

    

    
      
        

    

    	 	
             

             

            

          	 	 	
            In the event the parties (acting reasonably) cannot agree the final form of the Asset Sale Agreement  within 6 months of the date of this Option Agreement, any
              outstanding provisions that cannot be agreed must be referred for determination of the specific point of difference to an expert:

             

            agreed by the parties; or

             

            failing agreement within 14 days after either of them calls for agreement, to an expert nominated by the Resolution Institute

             

            and the expert shall be asked to determine a reasonable compromise on each point of difference referred to it, having regard to the provisions of the draft Asset Sale
              Agreement attached and the principles set out in this option Agreement. Any expert appointed under this paragraph is to act as an expert and not an arbitrator and in relation to such appointment:

             

            the expert's decision as to the compromise provision of the Asset Sale Agreement is final and binding on the parties; and

             

            the parties are to pay the expert's costs in equal proportions.

             

            If an expert is appointed, the Option term shall be extended until such time as the Asset Sale Agreement is ready and can be signed on the exercise of the Option,
              provided the Company has complied with its  obligations under this Option Agreement.

             

            The key terms of the Asset Sale Agreement are:

                Option; and

             

            ii)          $2.0m by way of 4 payments of $500,000   each at 6 monthly intervals with the first payment due 6 months from the date   of exercise of the Option.

          

    

    

    
      
        

    

    
      
        	
                 

              	
                 

              	
                 

              	 	
                
                  e)          The $5.0m shall be paid out of the audited profits generated by the Project, up to a maximum of 30% of total net

                  (v)         for determining how profits are calculated (with specific accounting inclusions and exclusions, similar to post completion accounting for an

                  (vi)        to ensure that Biogreen has a right to be consulted on any matter which would materially reduce or delay profits from the Project (eg.
                    optional capex, which is desirable for future growth but not immediately required)

                    in third party capital raisings conducted after the date that is 6 months from the date of this Option provided that the participation is less than 20% of the total amount being raised unless otherwise agreed between the parties. The
                    secured debt holders will  have no obligation to take up any such offer.

                

                

                

                
                  h)         The Company will also undertake bona fide discussions in relation to offering a convertible note to any secured debt
                    holders at the time of exercising the option on normal commercial terms. The Company shall have the last and final right to determine such terms. The secured debt holders will have no obligation to take up any such offer.

                  j)           Biogreen must, following exercise of the Option, if requested by the Company, use its best endeavours to assist the

            Option  Period Payments

          	 	
            The Company will pay a fee to Biogreen during the Option Period of $40,000 per month to be utilised as set out herein (Option Period
                Payments).

             

            The Option Period Payments shall be used to meet the costs of maintaining the Assets in good standing (including security costs) during the Option Period and for the
              working capital purposes of Biogreen.

             

            A prepayment of $120,000 (being the first three months of the Option Period Payments) will be deposited in cleared funds into Biogreen’s NAB Account on or before
              Friday, 22 December 2017.

             

            If the Company exercises the Option, all Option Period Payments will be applied to and form part of the purchase price contemplated by the sale agreement (Asset Sale Agreement) attached at Annexure 1 of this Option Agreement.

             

            If the Company does not exercise the Option, the Option Period Payments not exceeding an amount of $400,000 will be repaid by Biogreen to the Company in the following
              circumstances:

             

            (vii)       the Assets being sold to
                another buyer for more than the then remaining liabilities of Bio Green (post sale) and that amount being received by Biogreen (New Buyer Purchase); or

             

            (viii)       Biogreen retains ownership
                of the Assets (the subject of this agreement) and the Assets generate sufficient free cashflow from the operation of the Assets to  repay the Option Period Payments (Profits Payment).

             

            In the event of a New Buyer Purchase, the Option  Period Payments (not exceeding an amount of $400,000) will be repaid to the Company in one lump sum within 30 days
              of the Purchase price being received by Biogreen.

             

            If, at any time during the option period, Biogreen requires additional capital to meet the holding costs of the Project and the parties mutually agree to such
              expenditure:

             

            (ix)          It may request the Company
                to provide a loan for the additional capital; and

             

            (x)          If the Company agrees to
                provide that loan and requires that loan to be secured over the Project, then Biogreen will use its reasonable endeavours to procure second ranking security over the assets of the Project, ranking behind the existing security of
              lenders over the Project and subordinated in priority of repayments to those senior secured lenders.

             

            

            
              In relation to the Option Period Payments, Biogreen declares that, on the date of this Option Agreement, Biogreen is an Australian resident for tax purposes.

            

          

    

    

    
      
        

    

    	 	 	
            Option Period Payments Failure

          	 	
            The Option will not lapse for failure to pay the Option Period Payments, unless:

             

            the Company fails to pay the Option Period Payments; and

             

            notice has been provided by Biogreen to the Company providing a remedy period of twenty-one (21) days (Remedy Period); and

             

            the Company fails to pay the outstanding Option  Period Payments within the Remedy Period.

              whatsoever.

          
	 	 	
            Confidentiality

          	 	
            This Option Agreement and all other information disclosed by the parties to each other (Confidential Information) is
