7    Conditions subsequent

7.1    Without limitation to the rights
of the Finance Parties under the Finance Documents (including clauses 4.5 (Conditions
subsequent – other) and clause 24.21 (Real Property Mortgages) of
the Facility Agreement), the Obligors undertake to:

(1)    provide to the Agent an updated
‘Real Property – USA’ Mortgage table, prepared by the Obligors (the “Mortgage
Table”), within 20 Business Days after the Effective Date in a form
approved by the Agent that includes the following columns: 

(a)    Real Property – USA owned or
leased by an Obligor;

(b)    Entity of Record;

(c)    Leasehold or Freehold;

(d)    Lessor (if applicable);

(e)    Consent to mortgage or amend
mortgage required (yes / no), including, if yes, references to applicable
section(s) requiring consent and, if the Agent requests it, attaching the lease
or consent document to which the applicable section(s) relate or, if acceptable
to the Agent, either extracts of such documents or such other information
substantiating the requirement for consent;

(f)    Consent obtained (yes / no / not
applicable), including if yes, a copy of the consent obtained (but a copy of a
consent need only be provided once);

(g)    Mortgage recorded (yes / no);
and

(h)    Comments, including detailed
particulars of efforts made to obtain any consents and, where a necessary
consent has not been obtained, the Obligors’ assessment of the prospects of
obtaining that consent with further reasonable commercial endeavours;

(2)    except in relation to a Relevant
Asset in respect of which the Agent has agreed a request under clause 7.3, prepare
and issue within 20 Business Days after the Effective Date, communications to
parties from whom consent is required as identified in the Mortgage Table and
provide a copy of that communication to the Agent within 5 Business Days after
issuing that communication;

(3)    provide to the Agent an updated
Mortgage Table, including an updated “Comments” column, within 5 Business Days
after the end of each calendar quarter, commencing the quarter ending 31
December 2019, until otherwise agreed between the Obligors and the Agent;

(4)    except in relation to a Relevant
Asset in respect of which the Agent has agreed a request under clause 7.3,
prepare follow up communications (including communications to responses that
may have been received from the communications referred to in clause 7.1(2)) to
parties from whom consent is required as identified in the Mortgage Table, no
less frequently than quarterly after the Effective Date until further notice
from the Agent;

(5)    upon written request from the
Agent, ensure that any communications issued pursuant to clause 7.1(2) and
clause 7.1(4) are in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent;

 

 

 

 5 

      

(6)    where a consent is required from
a party that has a consent right (as identified in the Mortgage Table), use
reasonable commercial endeavours, to pursue a consent that extends to future
increased liabilities under the Finance Documents or that otherwise avoids the
need to obtain subsequent consents for such increases; 

(7)    not register any mortgage or
deed of trust with a liability cap that is less than the aggregate Commitments
under the Facility Agreement without approval by the Agent of the amount of the
liability cap.  If the Agent does not approve any proposed liability cap and
consent required for a mortgage or deed or trust is conditional on that
liability cap, for the avoidance of doubt, it will not be an Event of Default
but the obligation of the Obligors to use reasonable commercial endeavours to
have that cap removed or increased to no less than the aggregate Commitments
under the Facility Agreement is, subject to clause 7.3, ongoing;

(8)    for all (A) Real Property - USA owned
(or leased without a consent requirement) by an Obligor (“Non-Consent
Property”) or (B) leasehold Real Property - USA for which consent to
mortgage has been obtained, within 20 Business Days after the Effective Date:

(a)    grant a mortgage or deed of
trust (if one has not already been granted);

(b)    have that mortgage or deed of
trust recorded on any applicable registers; and

(c)    have the mortgages or deeds of
trust up-stamped and tax paid as required by law.

(9)    for all Real Property - USA
other than Non-Consent Property in respect of which mortgages or deeds of trust
are currently granted to a Finance Party, use reasonable commercial endeavours
after the Effective Date to:

(a)    amend those mortgages or deeds
of trust to reflect the increased facility limits and the extension of the
termination date (and other material changes) in the amendments described in
clause 3 (Amendments) and, subject to approval by the Agent, with headroom as
may be agreed between the parties for any future increased liabilities under the
Finance Documents or in a manner (including liability caps) to avoid the need
to obtain subsequent consents;

(b)    obtain any necessary consents
for such amendments;

(c)    have those amendments recorded
on any applicable registers; and

(d)    have the mortgages or deeds of
trust up-stamped and tax paid as required by law.  

(10)    for all Non-Consent Property,
within 40 Business Days after the Effective Date:

(a)    amend all mortgages or deeds of
trust currently granted to a Finance Party, in each case to reflect the
increased facility limits and the extension of the termination date (and other
material changes)  in the amendments described in clause 3 (Amendments) and,
subject to approval by the Agent, with headroom as may be agreed between the
parties for any future increased liabilities under the Finance Documents;

(b)    have those amendments recorded
on any applicable registers; and 

 

 

 

 6 

      

(c)    have the mortgages or deeds of
trust up-stamped and tax paid as required by law.

7.2    A
failure to comply with an undertaking in clause 7.1 within 10 Business Days
after the due date will be a Review Event for the purposes of the Facility
Agreement and clause 9.8 (Review Event) of the Facility Agreement will
apply.

7.3    The Obligors may at any time
provide a certificate to the Agent in relation to (A) a Relevant Asset and a
Security Consent needed to be able to satisfy a condition subsequent under
clause 4.5 (Conditions subsequent – other) of the Facility Agreement in
relation to specific Security over that Relevant Asset, or (B) an amendment or
consent described in clause 7.1(9), or (C) the removal or amendment of a
liability cap under clause 7.1(7):

(1)    stating that, having regard to
steps taken both before and after the Effective Date, the Obligors have
exhausted reasonable commercial endeavours to obtain the relevant consent or
amendment and genuinely and reasonably believe that consent or amendment will
not be forthcoming, regardless of further efforts or endeavours on the part of
the Obligors (taking into account the last sentence of clause 4.5(d) of the
Facility Agreement); and

(2)    requesting that the Agent
(acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders) waive until further notice
(and without limitation to clause 4.5(c)(iii) of the Facility Agreement) the
requirement to obtain, or to continue to use reasonable commercial endeavours
to obtain, that consent, and to provide specific Security over the Relevant
Asset, or procure the relevant amendment (as the case may be).

The Agent will agree to that request if it and the Majority
Lenders, acting reasonably, are satisfied that the relevant consent or
amendment will not be forthcoming for the time being regardless of further
efforts or endeavours on the part of the Obligors (taking into account the last
sentence of clause 4.5(d) of the Facility Agreement).  If the Agent and the
Majority Lenders do not agree to that request, the Agent must provide reasons
and describe to the Obligors what further reasonably obtainable information it
and the Majority Lenders require in order to be so satisfied.

8    General

37 (Partial invalidity), 38

set out in this document, with necessary changes for context.

to any Finance Party;

(d)    To the extent that there is any conflict between any
communication or notice by the Original Borrower on behalf of an Obligor and
any other Obligor, those of the Original Borrower shall prevail.

1.5    Security Trustee limitation of liability

(a)    The Security Trustee enters into and performs the Finance
Documents to which it is a party and the transactions they contemplates only in
its capacity as the trustee of the Security Trust (and not in its personal
capacity, or in its capacity as trustee of any other trust other than the
Security Trust), except where expressly stated otherwise.  This applies also in
respect of any past and future conduct (including omissions) relating to this
agreement or those transactions.  

(b)    Under and in connection with the Finance Documents and those
transactions and conduct:

(i)    the Security Trustee’s liability
(including for negligence) is
strictly limited, and can only be enforced against the Security Trustee, to the
extent to which it can be satisfied out of the Security Trust assets or the
Security Trustee is actually indemnified for the liability. This limitation
will not apply to any obligation or liability of the Security Trustee only to
the extent it is not so satisfied because there is a reduction in the extent of
the Security Trustee's indemnification out of the Security Trust assets caused
by the Security Trustee's fraud, gross negligence or wilful misconduct.  The
Security Trustee need not pay any such liability out of other assets; 

(ii)    another party may
only do the following with respect to the
Security Trustee (but any resulting liability remains subject to the limitations
in this Clause):

(A)    prove and participate in, and
otherwise benefit from, any form of insolvency administration of the Security
Trustee but only with respect to Security Trust assets;

(B)    exercise rights and remedies
with respect to Security Trust assets, including set-off; 

(C)    enforce its security (if any)
and exercise contractual rights; and

 

 

 57  

       

(D)    bring
any proceedings against the Security Trustee seeking relief or orders that are
not inconsistent with the limitations in this Clause, 

and may not:

(E)    bring other proceedings against
the Security Trustee;

(F)    take any steps to have the
Security Trustee placed in any form of insolvency administration or to have a
receiver or receiver and manager appointed or see to have the Security Trustee
wound up, or prove in any winding up of the Security Trustee; or

(G)    seek by any means (including
set-off) to have a liability of the Security Trustee to that party (including
for negligence) satisfied out of any assets of the Security Trustee other than
Security Trust assets; 

(H)    have an administrator appointed
to the Security Trustee;

(I)    obtain a judgment against the
Security Trustee for the payment of money;

(J)    carry out any distress or
execution on any property of the Security Trustee; or

(K)    exercise any:

(1)    right of set-off; 

(2)    right to combine or consolidate accounts; or

(3)    banker’s lien,

against the Security Trustee, other than in respect of the
Security Trust, in connection with the Security Trustee’s
obligations under the Finance Documents.

(c)    Paragraphs (a) and (b) apply despite any other provision in
any Finance Document but do not apply with respect to any liability of the
Security Trustee to another party (including for negligence) to the extent that
the Security Trustee has no right or power to have Security Trust assets
applied towards satisfaction of that liability, or its right or power to do so is subject to a deduction, reduction, limit
or requirement to make good, in either case because of the Security Trustee’s
fraud, gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

(d)    The limitation in paragraph
(b)(i) is to be disregarded for the purposes (but only for the purposes) of the
rights and remedies described in paragraph
(b)(ii), and interpreting this agreement and any security for it, including
determining the following:

(i)    whether amounts are to be
regarded as payable (and for this purpose damages or other amounts will be regarded as a payable if they would have
been owed had a suit or action barred under paragraph (b)(ii) been brought);

 

 

 58  

       

(ii)    the
calculation of amounts owing; or 

(iii)    whether a breach or default has occurred,

        but any resulting liability will be subject to the limitations in
this Clause.

(e)    Nothing in paragraph (c) above shall make the Security
Trustee liable to any claim for an amount greater than the amount which the
other parties would have been able to claim and recover from the Security Trust
assets in relation to the relevant liability if the Security Trustee's right of indemnification out of the
assets of the Security Trust had not been prejudiced by the Security Trustee's
fraud, gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

(f)    This Clause applies despite any other provision of any Finance Document or any
principle of equity or law to the contrary.

1.6    Liability must be limited and must be indemnified

The Security Trustee is not obliged to do or not do anything in
connection with the Finance Document (including enter into any transaction or
incur any liability) unless:  

(a)    the Security
Trustee’s liability is limited in a manner
which is consistent with Clause 1.5(Security Trustee limitation of liability);
 

(b)    the Security Trustee is indemnified (or otherwise put in
funds) to its reasonable satisfaction against any liability or loss arising from, and any costs,
charges and expenses ( including those incurred in connection with advisers)
properly incurred in connection with, doing or not doing that thing; and 

(c)    it has received the relevant instructions from the relevant
Beneficiaries.

1.7    Administration in connection with Facility B

Despite any other provision of this Agreement and while no
Default subsists, any notice, request, correspondence, payment or
administration mechanics (including in relation to fees, principal, interest and exchange rates) in connection with Facility B or Bank Guarantees issued under Facility
B may be given, made or operated directly between the relevant Borrower and the
Facility B Lender or Issuing Bank without reference to the Agent, unless the
Borrower and the Issuing Bank or Facility B Lender agree otherwise and, where
applicable, any references to the Agent in this Agreement will be read as
references to that Issuing Bank or Facility B Lender.

1.8    Contractual recognition of bail-in

Notwithstanding any other term of any Finance Document or
any other agreement, arrangement or understanding between the parties to this
Agreement, each party acknowledges and accepts that any liability of
any party to any other party under or in connection with the Finance Documents
may be subject to Bail-In Action by the relevant Resolution Authority and
acknowledges and accepts to be bound by the effect of: 

(a)     any Bail-In Action in relation to any such liability, including
(without limitation): 

 

 

 59  

       

(i)    a
reduction, in full or in part, in the principal amount, or outstanding amount
due (including any accrued but
unpaid interest) in respect of any such liability; 

(ii)    a conversion of all,
or part of, any such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership
that may be issued to, or conferred on, it; and 

(iii)    a cancellation of any such liability; and 

(b)    a variation of any term of any Finance Document to the
extent necessary to give effect to any Bail-In Action in relation
to any such liability.

"Bail-In Action" means the exercise of any Write-down
and Conversion Powers.

other Finance Party under the Finance Documents.

(b)    The rights of each Finance Party under or in connection with the
Finance Documents are separate and independent rights and any debt arising
under the Finance Documents to a Finance Party from an Obligor is a separate
and independent debt in respect of which a Finance Party shall be entitled to
enforce its rights in accordance with paragraph (c) below.  The rights of each
Finance Party include any debt owing to that Finance Party under the Finance
Documents and for the avoidance of doubt, any part of a Utilisation or any
other amount owed by an Obligor which relates to a Finance Party's
participation in a Facility or its role under a Finance Document (including any
such amount payable to the Agent on its behalf) is a debt owing to that Finance
Party by that Obligor.

(c)    A Finance Party may, except as specifically provided in the
Finance Documents, separately enforce its rights under or in connection with
the Finance Documents.

3.    Purpose

3.1    Purpose

capital requirements and for general corporate purposes of the Group. 

3.2    Monitoring

application of any amount borrowed pursuant to this Agreement.

4.    Conditions of Utilisation

4.1    Initial conditions precedent

Subject
to Clause 4.5 (Conditions subsequent – other), the Borrower may not deliver a Utilisation Request unless
the Agent has received all of the documents and other evidence listed in Part I
of Schedule 2 (Conditions precedent) in form and substance satisfactory
to the Agent acting on the instructions of all Lenders. The Agent
shall notify a Borrower and the Lenders promptly upon being so satisfied.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that the obligations
under this clause 4.1 were satisfied prior to the Borrower delivering the first
Utilisation Request.

4.2    Further conditions precedent

The Lenders will only be obliged to comply with Clause 5.4  (Lenders' participation) if on the date
of the Utilisation Request and on the proposed Utilisation Date:

(a)    in the case of: 

(i)    a Rollover
Loan, no Event of Default is continuing or would result from the proposed Loan;
and

(ii)    in the case
of any other Utilisation, no Default or Review Event is continuing or would
result from the proposed Utilisation; 

(b)    the Repeating Representations to be made by each Obligor are true
in all material respects and not misleading; and

(c)    despite
Clause 8.2 (Repayments for currency equalisation), the relevant Facility
Commitment is not and will not be exceeded based on a currency conversion at
the Agent’s Spot Rate of Exchange
(where applicable). 

4.3    Maximum number of Utilisations

A Borrower may not deliver a Utilisation Request if as a
result of the proposed Utilisation 10 or more Loans would be outstanding. 
There is no limit to the number of Bank Guarantees that may be outstanding at
any time.

 

 

 62  

       

4.4    Condition subsequent  – Tax Consolidation

 If not done before the first Utilisation
of a Facility, the Parent must deliver to the Agent in form and substance
satisfactory to the Agent (acting on the instructions of all Lenders) within 40
Business Days after the Listing Date, a certified copy of the Tax Sharing
Agreement and the Tax Funding Agreement to which Coronado Australia Holdings
Pty Limited and all of its Australian incorporated wholly-owned Subsidiaries
are party.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that the obligations
under this clause 4.4 have been satisfied.

4.5    Conditions subsequent – other

(a)    If any of the conditions precedent described in Part I of Schedule 2 (Conditions precedent), other than
those identified in paragraph (b) below, have not been received by the Agent in
form and substance satisfactory to the Agent acting on the instructions of all
Lenders by the proposed Listing Date, then they shall cease to be conditions
precedent to the first Utilisation Request and, subject to Clause 4.5(c), they
must instead be received by the Agent in form and substance satisfactory to the
Agent acting on the instructions of all Lenders (each acting reasonably) by no
later than the 45th day after the Listing Date together with such
other documents referred to in item 1 of Part I of Schedule
2 (Conditions precedent) to enable the delivery of such opinions
referred to in item 3 of Part I of Schedule 2
(Conditions precedent) as the Finance Parties may require with respect
to the items being delivered as conditions subsequent.  To that extent a
condition subsequent arising pursuant to this paragraph (a) is the execution of a
Finance Document, then subject to Clause 4.5(c), the opinions described in item 3 of Part I of Schedule 2 (Conditions
Precedent) must also be delivered in connection with those Finance
Documents no later than the 45th day after the Listing Date.

(b)    Paragraph (a)
does not apply to the matters described in the following items in Part I of Schedule 2 (Conditions precedent) and those
items shall always remain conditions precedent, unless the Agent (acting on the
instructions of all the Lenders) agrees otherwise in writing: 

(i)    item 1(a),
(b) and (c) (insofar as (c) relates to property of Obligors incorporated in
Australia);

(ii)    item 2(a), (b), (c), (e) (insofar as (e) relates to Security to be
granted by Obligors incorporated in Australia but except if and to the extent
the reason why any part of (e) cannot be satisfied over a Relevant Asset is the
absence of a Security Consent), (f), (g), (h), (i) and (j) (insofar as (i) and
(j) relate to Security to be granted by Obligors incorporated in Australia),
(k) and (l);

(iii)    item 3; 

(iv)    item 4 (except if and to the extent the reason why any part of
this item cannot be satisfied over a Relevant Asset is the absence of Security
Consent); and

 

 

 

 63  

       

(v)    item 5(a),
(b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g) (insofar as (g) relates to the Winged Horse
Arrangements and Wesfarmers Arrangements) , (h), (i) (except in relation to
reliance letters), (j) and (k).

(c)    If by the 120th day after the Listing Date (or any
later date stipulated by the Agent) any Security Consent has not been obtained
and as a consequence Security over the Relevant Asset as contemplated by a
Transaction Security Document has not been perfected to the satisfaction of the
Agent acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders (each acting
reasonably), then:

(i)    that failure,
of itself, will not constitute an Event of Default or Review Event; 

(ii)    the Obligors
must promptly (and, in any case, no later than 5 Business Days after the 120th
day after the Listing Date (or any later date stipulated by the Agent)) provide
to the Agent sufficient information in reasonable detail about each missing
Security Consent together with details of the reasonable commercial endeavours
undertaken to obtain the Security Consents; and

(iii)    the Obligors must, on request from the Agent from time to time
(acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders), again use reasonable
commercial endeavours to obtain that Security Consent and perfect the Security
over that Relevant Asset, and must respond promptly to requests by the Agent
for information concerning progress in that regard together with details of the
reasonable endeavours undertaken to obtain the Security Consents.

(d)    In this Clause, Clause 24.20 (Mining tenements; After-Acquired
Property; Further assurances regarding Secured Property) and Part II of Schedule 2 (Conditions precedent),  “Security Consent” means a consent or permission from a
Governmental Agency, a landlord, a lessor or another person (not being a Group
Member), without which an Obligor may not give or perfect the Security over an
asset that is contemplated by a Transaction Security Document without
contravening a law or breaching a contract, or without which any such Security
would be ineffective or invalid.   “Relevant Asset” means the asset contemplated by a
Transaction Security Document in respect of which a Security Consent is
required.  To avoid doubt, it is acknowledged that,
in using reasonable commercial endeavours to obtain a Security Consent, no Obligor will be required to pay
any fee or pay any other consideration or agree to any commercial change that
would be detrimental to any Obligor.

4.6    US Excluded Property

(a)    Despite anything to the contrary in the Finance Documents, nothing
in the Finance Documents obliges the Obligors to provide to the Security Trustee or any other Finance
Party any Security over any US Excluded Property, or makes the giving of any such
Security a condition to the provision of financial accommodation under the
Finance Documents.  

(b)    If any US Excluded Property is affected by any Transaction
Security, the Security Trustee must do all things reasonably requested by the
Parent to release that property from that Transaction Security.

(Default interest). 

(c)    If under this Agreement, a Borrower is obliged to pay or indemnify
the Issuing Bank for amounts
paid or payable under a claim under a Bank
Guarantee, and the Borrower does not
discharge that obligation on or before the day on
which the Issuing Bank pays that claim, the Borrower shall (unless the Borrower notifies the Issuing Bank otherwise) be
deemed to have requested:

(i)    if that Bank Guarantee is denominated
in Australian dollars, a Loan under
Facility A or Facility C in Australian dollars; or

(ii)    if that Bank Guarantee is denominated
in US dollars, a Loan under Facility A or
Facility C in US dollars,

in accordance with paragraph (d) below.

(d)    On the date the Issuing Bank pays a claim made under a Bank
Guarantee, the Borrower shall be deemed
to have delivered to the Agent a duly completed Utilisation Request requesting
a Loan under Facility A (or, if there is insufficient Available Facility under Facility A, then under Facility C) in Australian dollars (if that Bank Guarantee is denominated in Australian dollars) or US dollars
(if that Bank
Guarantee is denominated in US dollars):

(i)    for an amount equal to the amount of the claim (if applicable, less any cash
cover); 

(ii)    for an Interest Period of 3 Months or such other period of up to 6
Months as notified by the relevant Borrower to the Agent prior to the Utilisation
Date; and

(iii)    with a Utilisation Date on the third Business Day after the Issuing Bank pays the
relevant claim.

The proceeds of the Loan shall be used to reimburse the Issuing
Bank for the amount paid in response to the relevant claim.  Interest accrues
on the amount paid by the Issuing Bank from (and including) the date of payment
to (but excluding) the date it receives the Loan proceeds, in accordance with
clause 7.1(b).

(e)    Each Borrower
acknowledges that the Issuing Bank:

(i)    may make payments under a Bank Guarantee by any means that it
determines;

(ii)    may make any payments under a Bank Guarantee despite any direction
by the Borrower to the Issuing Bank not to pay, any dispute between the
Borrower and the Issuing Bank as to the Issuing Bank's obligation to pay, any
dispute between the Borrower and the beneficiary of the Bank Guarantee or any
claim by the Borrower that a claim under the Bank Guarantee is not valid;

(iii)    is not obliged to carry out any investigation or seek any
confirmation from any other person before paying a claim;

 

 

 70  

       

(iv)    may refuse to make a payment under a Bank Guarantee (in its
absolute discretion) where it considers that a claim under, or any other
document presented under the Bank Guarantee, does not comply with the terms of
the Bank Guarantee; and

(v)    deals in documents only and will not be concerned with the
legality of a claim or any underlying transaction or any available set-off,
counterclaim or other defence of any person.

(f)    The obligations of a Borrower under this Clause 7.1  will not be affected by:

(i)    the sufficiency, accuracy or genuineness of any claim or any other
document;

(ii)    any incapacity of, or limitation on the powers of, any person
signing a claim or other document;

(iii)    any act of any Governmental Agency, court, arbitral body, agency
or authority or the application of any law or regulation affecting any Bank
Guarantee; or

(iv)    any failure by any person to obtain any Authorisation required or
desirable in connection with any Bank Guarantee.

7.2    Indemnities

(a)    Without prejudice to each Borrower's obligation under Clause 7.1  (Claims under a Bank Guarantee), each
Borrower shall immediately on demand indemnify the Issuing Bank against any
cost, loss or liability incurred by the Issuing Bank (otherwise than by reason
of the Issuing Bank's gross negligence or wilful misconduct) in acting as the
Issuing Bank under any Bank Guarantee requested by that Borrower (including as
a result of the Issuing Bank making a payment under Clause 7.4 (Restrictions
on voluntary pay-out)).

(b)    The obligations of each Borrower under this Clause 7.2 (Indemnities)
are continuing obligations and will extend to the ultimate balance of sums
payable by the Borrower in respect of any Bank Guarantee, regardless of any
intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.

(c)    The obligations of any Borrower under this Clause 7.2 (Indemnities)
will not be affected by any act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this
Clause 7.2 (Indemnities), would reduce, release or prejudice any of its
obligations under this Clause 7.2 (Indemnities) (without limitation and
whether or not known to it or any other person) including:

(i)    any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any
Obligor, any beneficiary under a Bank Guarantee or any other person;

(ii)    the release of any other Obligor or any other person under the
terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor or any Group Member;

(iii)    the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release
of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, take up or enforce, any rights against,
or security over assets 

 

 

 

 71  

       

of, any Obligor, any
beneficiary under a Bank Guarantee or other person or any non-presentation or
non-observance of any formality or other requirement in respect of any
instrument or any failure to realise the full value of any security;

(iv)    any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of
or dissolution or change in the members or status of an Obligor, any
beneficiary under a Bank Guarantee or any other person;

(v)    any amendment (however fundamental) or replacement of a Finance
Document, any Bank Guarantee or any other document or security;

(vi)    any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation
of any person under any Finance Document, any Bank Guarantee or any other
document or security; or

(vii)    any insolvency or similar proceedings.  

7.3    Rights of contribution

No Obligor will be entitled to any right of contribution or
indemnity from any Finance Party in respect of any payment it may make under
this Clause 7.

7.4    Restrictions on voluntary pay-out of
Bank Guarantees

Despite the terms of any
issued Bank Guarantee, an Issuing
Bank may cancel a Bank Guarantee, by paying to the beneficiary of the relevant Bank
Guarantee the outstanding amount of the Bank Guarantee or any lesser amount
specified by the beneficiary, but only if: 

(a)    an Event of Default is continuing; or

(b)    the Issuing Bank would be entitled to exercise its rights under Clause 9.2 (Illegality in relation to Bank Guarantee) or Clause 33.11 (Anti-Money Laundering).

SECTION 4

REPAYMENT, PREPAYMENT AND
CANCELLATION

8.    Repayment

8.1    Repayment of Facility A and Facility C Loans

(a)    Each Borrower which has drawn a Loan shall repay that Loan on the
last day of its Interest Period.

(b)    Without prejudice to each Borrower's obligation under paragraph
(a) above, if:

(i)    one or more Loans are to be made available to a Borrower under the
same Facility (whether Facility A or Facility C):

(A)    on the same day that a maturing Loan is due to be repaid by that
Borrower; and

(B)    in the same currency as the maturing Loan; and

(C)    in whole or
in part for the purpose of refinancing the maturing Loan; and

(ii)    the proportion borne by each Lender's participation in the
maturing Loan to the amount of that maturing Loan is the same as the proportion
borne by that Lender's participation in the new Loans to the aggregate amount
of those new Loans,

the aggregate amount of the new Loans shall, unless the Borrower
notifies the Agent to the contrary in the relevant Utilisation Request, be treated
as if applied in or towards repayment of the maturing Loan so that:

(A)    if the amount of the maturing Loan exceeds the aggregate amount of
the new Loans:

(1)    the relevant
Borrower will only be required to make a payment under Clause 33.1  (Payments to the Agent) in an amount in
the relevant currency equal to that excess; and

(2)    each Lender's
participation in the new Loans shall be treated as having been made available
and applied by the Borrower in or towards repayment of that Lender's
participation in the maturing Loan and that Lender will not be required to make
a payment under Clause 33.1  (Payments to
the Agent) in respect of its participation in the new Loans; and

(B)    if the amount of the maturing Loan is equal to or less than the
aggregate amount of the new Loans:

(1)    the relevant
Borrower will not be required to make a payment under Clause 33.1  (Payments to the Agent); and

 

 

 73  

       

(2)    each Lender will be required to make a payment under Clause 33.1  (Payments to the Agent) in respect of
its participation in the new Loans only to the extent that its participation in
the new Loans exceeds that Lender's participation in the maturing Loan and the
remainder of that Lender's participation in the new Loans shall be treated as
having been made available and applied by the Borrower in or towards repayment
of that Lender's participation in the maturing Loan.

8.2    Repayments for currency equalisation:
Facility A

(a)    On the last day of each Quarter, on receipt of a Utilisation
Request in respect of Facility A and on each Utilisation Date in respect of
Facility A the Agent may recalculate the Facility A Base Currency Amount of
each Loan denominated in Australian dollars by notionally converting the
outstanding amount of that Loan into Facility A Base Currency using the Agent's
Spot Rate of Exchange on the date of calculation. 

(b)    If at any time the aggregate Facility A Base Currency Amount of
all Loans outstanding under Facility A (after converting Loans denominated in
Australian dollars in accordance with paragraph (a)) (the Aggregate Base
Currency Amount) exceeds 110% of the Facility A Commitment then a Borrower shall:

(i)     (subject to paragraph (ii) below), within 5 Business Days of
written notice from the Agent, ensure that Loans are prepaid in an amount equal
at least to the difference between the Aggregate Base Currency Amount and the Facility A
Commitment; or 

(ii)    if prepaying Loans in the time specified in paragraph (i) above
would cause the Borrower to incur Break Costs, the Borrower may instead pay an amount equal at least to the difference between the Aggregate
Base Currency Amount and the Facility A Commitment to a blocked suspense
account of the Agent to be applied in prepayment of Loans on the last day of
the current Interest Period for such Loans. 

8.3    Cash cover for currency equalisation: Facility B

(a)    On the last day of each Quarter, on receipt of a Utilisation
Request in respect of Facility B and on each Utilisation Date in respect of
Facility B the Agent may recalculate the Facility B Base Currency Amount of
each outstanding Bank Guarantee issued by a Facility B Lender that is denominated in US dollars by notionally
converting the outstanding amount of each such Bank Guarantee into Facility B
Base Currency using the Agent's Spot Rate of Exchange on the date of
calculation. 

(b)    If at any time the aggregate Facility B Base Currency Amount of
all outstanding Bank Guarantees issued by a Facility B Lender under Facility B (after converting
Bank Guarantees denominated in US dollars in accordance with paragraph (a))
(the Aggregate Base Currency Amount) exceeds 110% of that Lender’s Facility B Commitment then
the Borrower shall within 5 Business Days of written notice from the Agent, pay
cash cover in Australian dollars to that Lender in an amount equal at 

 

 

 

 74  

       

least to the difference
between the Aggregate Base Currency Amount and its Facility B Commitment, to be held on the terms of Clause 25.21 (Cash
cover).  If the Facility B Lender (exercising its rights under clause 1.7 (Administration in connection with Facility B)) issues a notice under this clause rather than the Agent, that
Lender must give a copy of that notice to the Agent at the same time.  

8.4    Repayments for currency equalisation: Facility C

(a)    On the last day of each Quarter, on receipt of a Utilisation
Request in respect of Facility C and on each Utilisation Date in respect of Facility C the Agent may
recalculate the Facility C Base Currency Amount of each Loan denominated in Australian dollars by
notionally converting the outstanding amount of that Loan into Facility C Base
Currency using the Agent's Spot Rate of Exchange on the date of calculation. 

(b)    If at any time the aggregate Facility C Base Currency Amount of
all Loans outstanding under Facility C (after converting Loans denominated in
Australian dollars in accordance with paragraph (a)) (the Aggregate Base Currency Amount)
exceeds 110% of the Facility C Commitment then a Borrower shall:

(i)    (subject to paragraph (ii) below), within 5 Business Days of
written notice from the Agent, ensure that Loans are prepaid in an amount equal
at least to the difference between the Aggregate Base Currency Amount and the
Facility C Commitment; or 

(ii)    if prepaying
Loans in the time specified in paragraph (i) above would cause the Borrower to
incur Break Costs, the Borrower may instead pay an amount equal at least to the difference between the Aggregate
Base Currency Amount and the Facility C Commitment to a blocked suspense
account of the Agent to be applied in prepayment of Loans on the last day of
the current Interest Period for such Loans. 

8.5    Bank Guarantees outstanding on the Termination Date

In respect of each Bank Guarantee issued under Facility B that
remains outstanding on the Termination Date, the Borrower must place cash cover
with the Issuing Bank, to the value of that bank’s potential liability under
that Bank Guarantee and in the same currency as that liability, to be held on
the terms of Clause 25.21 (Cash cover) or otherwise repay or prepay that
Bank Guarantee.

8.6    Term out of Defaulting Finance Party's Facility A Utilisations or Facility C Utilisations

(a)    When a Facility A Lender or a Facility C Lender becomes a
Defaulting Finance Party, the participation of that Lender in the Loans then
outstanding denominated in any currency will be treated as a separate Facility
A Utilisation or Facility C Utilisation (as the case may be) denominated in
that currency (the "Separate Loans") and the maturity date of
that Utilisation will be automatically extended to the Termination Date.

(b)    A Borrower may prepay any such Utilisation if it gives at least 5
Business Days' prior notice to the Agent, who shall promptly notify the
relevant Defaulting Finance Party.

 

 

 75  

       

(c)    If the
Borrower makes a prepayment of a Facility A Utilisation or Facility C
Utilisation (as the case may be), a Borrower to whom a Separate Loan is
outstanding may prepay that Separate Loan by giving not less than 5 Business
Days' prior notice to the Agent.  The proportion borne by the amount of the
prepayment of the Separate Loan to the amount of the Separate Loans shall not exceed
the proportion borne by the amount of the prepayment of the Facility A
Utilisation to the Facility A Utilisations or the Facility C Utilisation to the
Facility C Utilisations (as the case may be). The Agent will forward a copy of
a prepayment notice received in accordance with this paragraph (c) to the
Defaulting Finance Party concerned as soon as practicable on receipt.

(d)    Interest in respect of any such Utilisation will accrue for
successive Interest Periods selected by the Borrower by the time and date
specified by the Agent (acting reasonably) and will be payable by that Borrower
to the Agent (for the account of that Defaulting Finance Party) on the last day
of each such Interest Period.

9.    Prepayment and Cancellation

9.1    Illegality

If, in any applicable jurisdiction, it becomes unlawful (or
impossible as a result of a change in law or regulation after the Facility Initiation Date) for any Lender to perform any of its obligations as

(c)    Facility C: it being in

(b)    A Borrower to
which a Facility C Loan has been made may, if it gives the Agent not less than 3

being an amount that reduces the Facility C
Base Currency Amount of the Loan by a minimum amount
of US$100,000).

9.5    Restrictions

(a)    Any notice of
cancellation or prepayment given under this Clause 9 shall be irrevocable and,

(ii)    in any other
case, the Majority Lenders, 

would be prepared to offer to provide, fund or maintain all or any
of the Facilities.

SECTION 5

COSTS OF UTILISATION

10.    Interest

10.1    Calculation of interest

The rate of interest on each Loan for each Interest Period
is the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of the applicable:

(a)    Margin; and

(b)    in relation to any Loan in:

(i)    Australian
dollars, BBSY Bid; and

(ii)    US dollars,
LIBOR.

10.2    Payment of interest

The Borrower to which a Loan has been made shall pay
accrued interest in the relevant currency on that Loan on the last day of each
Interest Period (and, if the Interest Period is longer than six Months, on the
dates falling at six-monthly intervals after the first day of the Interest
Period).

10.3    Default interest

(a)    If an Obligor fails to pay any amount payable by it under a
Finance Document on its due date, interest shall accrue on the overdue amount
from the due date up to the date of actual payment (both before and after
judgment) at a rate which, subject to paragraph (b) below, is the sum of 2 per
cent per annum and the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount
had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Loan in the currency of
the overdue amount for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected
by the Agent (acting reasonably).  Any interest accruing under this Clause 10.3  (Default interest) shall be immediately
payable by the Obligor on demand by the Agent.

(b)    If any overdue amount consists of all or part of a Loan which
became due on a day which was not the last day of an Interest Period relating
to that Loan:

(i)    the first Interest Period for that overdue amount shall have a
duration equal to the unexpired portion of the current Interest Period relating
to that Loan; and

(ii)    the rate of interest applying to the overdue amount during that
first Interest Period shall be the sum of 2 per cent per annum and the rate
which would have applied if the overdue amount had not become due.

(c)    Default interest (if unpaid) arising on an overdue amount will be
compounded with the overdue amount at the end of each Interest Period
applicable to that overdue amount but will remain immediately due and payable.

 

 

 81

Utilisation Request for that Loan or (if the Loan has already been borrowed) in
a Selection Notice.

(b)    Each Selection Notice for a Loan is irrevocable and must be
delivered to the Agent by the Borrower to which that Loan was made not later
than the Specified Time.

(c)    If a Borrower fails to deliver a Selection Notice to the Agent in
accordance with paragraph (b) above, the relevant Interest Period will, be the
same duration as the Interest Period just ended.

(d)    Subject to this Clause 11 (Interest Periods), a Borrower
may only select Interest Periods of:

(i)    1, 2, 3 or 6
Months for Loans denominated in US dollars; and

(ii)    1, 2, 3 or 6
Months for Loans denominated in Australian dollars,

or another period agreed by the Majority Lenders.

(e)    For any
Interest Period of less than 3 months, BBSY Bid or LIBOR (as applicable) will be the 3 Month BBSY Bid or 3 Month LIBOR (as applicable)
and any reference to the length of an Interest Period in Clause 12 (Changes to the Calculation of Interest) will be construed on this basis.

(f)    An Interest
Period for a Loan shall not extend beyond the Termination Date.

(g)    Each Interest Period for a Loan shall start on the Utilisation Date
or (if already made) on the last day of its preceding Interest Period.

11.2    Non-Business Days  

(a)    If an Interest Period would otherwise end on a day which is not a
Business Day, that Interest Period will instead end on the next Business Day in
that calendar month (if there is one) or the preceding Business Day (if there
is not).

11.3    Consolidation and division of Loans

(a)    Subject to paragraph (b) below, if two or more Interest Periods:

(i)    relate to Loans made to the same Borrower under the same Facility;

(ii)    in the same
currency; and

(iii)    end on the same date,

 

 

 82  

       

those Loans will, unless that
Borrower (or a Borrower on its behalf) specifies to the contrary in the
Selection Notice for the next Interest Period, be consolidated into, and
treated as, a single Loan on the last day of the Interest Period.

(b)    Subject to Clause 4.3  (Maximum
number of Utilisations) and Clause 5.3  (Currency
and amount), if a Borrower (or a Borrower on its behalf) requests in a
Selection Notice that a Loan be divided into two or more Loans, that Loan will,
on the last day of its Interest Period, be so divided with amounts specified in
that Selection Notice, being an aggregate amount equal to the amount of the
Loan immediately before its division.

12.    Changes to the Calculation of Interest

12.1    Unavailability of Screen Rate

(a)    Interpolated Screen Rate: If no
Screen Rate is available for BBSY Bid or LIBOR (as the case may be) for the
Interest Period of a Loan, the applicable BBSY Bid or LIBOR (as the case may
be) shall be the Interpolated Screen Rate for a period equal in length, subject
to Clause 11.1(e) (Selection of Interest Periods), to the Interest
Period of that Loan.

(b)    Reference Bank Rate:  If no
Screen Rate is available for BBSY Bid or LIBOR (as the case may be) for:

(i)    the currency of a Loan; or

(ii)    the Interest Period of a Loan and it is not possible to calculate
the Interpolated Screen Rate,

the applicable BBSY Bid or LIBOR (as the case may be) shall be the
Reference Bank Rate as of the Specified Time for the currency of that Loan and
for a period equal in length, subject to Clause 11.1(e) (Selection of
Interest Periods),  to the Interest Period of that Loan.

(c)    Cost of Funds: If paragraph (b) above
applies but no Reference Bank Rate is available for the relevant currency and
Interest Period there shall be no BBSY Bid or LIBOR (as the case may be) for
that Loan and Clause 12.4  (Cost of funds)
shall apply to that Loan for that Interest Period.

12.2    Calculation of Reference Bank Rate

(a)    Subject to paragraph (b) below, if BBSY Bid or LIBOR (as the case
may be) is to be determined on the basis of a Reference Bank Rate but a
Reference Bank does not supply a quotation by the Specified Time, the Reference
Bank Rate shall be calculated on the basis of the quotations of the remaining
Reference Banks.

 

 

 83  

       

(b)    If at or
about noon (Sydney time) on the Quotation Day none or only one of the Reference
Banks supplies a quotation, there shall be no Reference Bank Rate for that
Interest Period.

12.3    Market disruption

If before 5pm (Sydney time) on the Business Day after the
Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period the Agent receives notifications
from Lender or
Lenders (whose participations in a Loan exceed 35 per cent of that Loan) that as a result of market circumstances not limited to it
(whether or not those circumstances, or their effect on the Lender’s cost of funds,
subsist on the date it becomes a Lender), the cost to it of funding its
participation in that Loan (from whatever source it may reasonably select)
would be in excess of BBSY Bid or LIBOR (as the case may be) (in which case an
"Affected Lender" will be a Lender which gives such a
notification), then Clause 12.4  (Cost of
funds) shall apply to the participation in the Loan of each Affected Lender
for the relevant Interest Period.

12.4    Cost of funds

(a)    If this Clause 12.4  (Cost of
funds) applies, the rate of interest on each relevant Lender's share of the
relevant Loan for the relevant Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per
annum which is the sum of:

(i)    the Margin; and

(ii)    

(A)    in the circumstances described in Clause 12.3 
(Market disruption), the rate notified to the Agent by the relevant
Affected Lender; and

(B)    in the circumstances described in Clause 12.1 
(Unavailability of Screen Rate), the rate of interest notified to the
Agent by the Lender,

to be that which expresses as a percentage
rate per annum, the cost to the Lender of funding its participation in that
Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select.  That rate is to be
notified as soon as practicable and in any event before interest is due to be
paid in respect of that Interest Period.

(b)    If this Clause 12.4  (Cost of
funds) applies and the Agent or a Borrower so requires, the Agent and a
Borrower shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than 30 days)
with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of
interest.

(c)    Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to paragraph (a) above
shall, with the prior consent of all the Lenders and a Borrower, be binding on
all Parties.

12.5    Agent's role 

The Agent shall promptly notify the
Borrowers if there is a market disruption event under Clause 12.3  (Market disruption) and of the identity
of any Lender or Lenders giving a notice under that Clause.

 

 

 84  

       

12.6    Break Costs

(a)    Each Borrower shall, within three Business Days of demand by a
Finance Party, pay to that Finance Party its Break Costs attributable to all or
any part of a Loan or Unpaid Sum being paid by that Borrower on a day other
than the last day of an Interest Period for that Loan or Unpaid Sum.

(b)    Each Lender shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after a
demand by the Agent or the Borrower, provide a certificate confirming the
amount of its Break Costs for any Interest Period in which they accrue.

13.    Fees

13.1    Commitment fee

(a)    The Borrowers shall pay: 

(i)    to the Agent
for the account of each Facility A Lender, a fee (in US dollars) computed at
the rate of 50 per cent of
the applicable Margin per annum on that Lender's Available Commitment under
Facility A for the Availability Period applicable to Facility A; and

(ii)    subject to
Clause 1.7 (Administration in
connection with Facility B) to a Facility B Lender, a fee (in Australian
dollars) computed at the rate of 50 per cent of the applicable Margin per annum
on that Lender's Available Commitment under Facility B for the Availability
Period applicable to Facility B.

(iii)    to the Agent for the account of each Facility C Lender, a fee (in
US dollars) computed at the rate of 50 per cent of the applicable Margin per
annum on that Lender's Available Commitment under Facility C for the
Availability Period applicable to Facility C.

(b)    The accrued
commitment fee is payable in arrears on the last day of each Quarter during the
relevant Availability Period, on the last day of the Availability Period, and
on the cancelled amount of the relevant Lender's Commitment at the time the
cancellation is effective.

13.2    Arrangement and underwriting fee

The Borrowers shall pay to the Arranger an arrangement fee
in the amount and at the times agreed in a Fee Letter.

13.3      Establishment Fee

The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent an establishment fee
in the amount and at the times agreed in a Fee Letter.

13.4    Agency and Security Trustee fee and US

13.5    Fees payable in respect of Bank Guarantees

(a)    Each Borrower
shall pay to the Issuing Bank a Bank Guarantee fee, computed at:

(i)    for a Bank
Guarantee that is a performance guarantee, a rate equal to 70 per cent of the
Margin applicable to a Loan (where “performance guarantee” means an instrument under
which the obligation to pay is triggered by the relevant Obligor’s failure to perform an
obligation in favour of a third party other than a payment obligation); and

(ii)    for a Bank
Guarantee that is a financial guarantee, a rate equal to the Margin applicable
to a Loan (where “financial
guarantee” means an instrument under which the obligation to pay is triggered by the relevant
Obligor’s failure to perform a payment obligation in favour of a third
party.  A Bank Guarantee lodged in lieu of cash or other liquid financial
instruments is to be categorised as a “financial guarantee” for these purposes)

on the outstanding amount of each requested Bank Guarantee and in
the currency of that Bank Guarantee, for the period from the issue of that Bank
Guarantee until its Expiry Date or if the Bank Guarantee does not have an
Expiry Date, until the Bank Guarantee is repaid in one of the ways set out
Clauses 1.2(g)(ii)  to 1.2(g)(iv).  

(b)    The accrued
Bank Guarantee fee on a Bank Guarantee shall be payable on the last day of each
Quarter.

cash cover to pay the fees described in paragraph (i) above provided that no Event of Default is
continuing.

SECTION 6

ADDITIONAL PAYMENT
OBLIGATIONS

14.      Tax Gross Up and Indemnities

14.1    Definitions

(a)       In this Clause 14 (Tax
Gross Up and Indemnities):

"Protected Party" means a Finance Party which is
or will be subject to any liability, or required to make any payment, for or on
account of Tax in relation to a sum received or receivable (or any sum deemed
for the purposes of Tax to be received or receivable) under a Finance Document.

"Tax Credit" means a credit against, relief or
remission for, or repayment of any Tax.

"Tax Payment" means either the increase in a
payment made by an Obligor to a Finance Party under Clause 14.2  (Tax Gross-up) or a payment under Clause
14.3  (Tax indemnity). 

14.2    Tax Gross-up

(a)       Each Obligor shall make all payments to be made by it under the
Finance Documents without any Tax Deduction unless such Tax Deduction is
required by law.

(b)       The Borrowers or a Finance Party shall promptly upon becoming
aware that an Obligor must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in
the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction) notify the Agent accordingly.  If the
Agent receives such notification from a Finance Party it shall notify a
Borrower and that Obligor.

(c)       If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by an Obligor or
an applicable withholding agent except in relation to a Tax described in Clause
14.4 (Exclusions), the Obligor shall pay
an additional amount together with the payment so that, after making any Tax
Deduction (including Tax Deduction applicable to the additional amount payable
under this Clause), the Finance Party receives an amount equal to the sum which
would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required.

(d)       If an Obligor is required to make a Tax Deduction, that Obligor
shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax
Deduction to the relevant taxing authority within the time allowed and in the
minimum amount required by law.

(e)       Within thirty days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment
required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the Obligor making that Tax
Deduction shall deliver to the Agent for the Finance Party entitled to the
payment evidence satisfactory to that Finance Party, acting reasonably, that
the Tax Deduction has been made and/or (as applicable) any appropriate payment
paid to the relevant taxing authority.

14.3    Tax indemnity

(a)       Subject to Clause 14.4 (Exclusions)  and except if they are compensated for by the payment of an additional amount under
Clause 14.2 (Tax
gross-up),  the Borrowers 

 

 

 

 87  

       

shall (within three Business
Days of demand by the Agent) pay to a Protected Party an amount equal to the
loss, liability or cost which that Protected Party determines will be or has
been (directly or indirectly) suffered for or on account of Tax by that
Protected Party in respect of a Finance Document or a transaction or payment
under it. A certificate as to the amount of such
loss, liability or cost suffered for or on account of Tax delivered to a
Borrower by a Protected Party, or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf
of a Protected Party, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(b)       A Protected
Party making or intending to make a claim pursuant to Clause 14.3(a) shall promptly notify the
Agent of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim, following
which the Agent shall notify the Borrower.

(c)        A Protected Party shall,
on receiving a payment from an Obligor under this Clause 14.3, notify the Agent. 

14.4    Exclusions

(a)       Clauses 14.2 (Tax gross-up) and 14.3 (Tax indemnity)  shall not apply:

(i)     with
respect to any Tax assessed on a Finance Party if that Tax is imposed on or
calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any
sum deemed to be received or receivable) by that Finance Party:

(A)      under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party is
incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which
that Finance Party is treated as resident for tax purposes; or

(B)      under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party's
Facility Office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in that
jurisdiction; or

(ii)    with
respect to Australian Withholding Tax on interest or amounts in the nature of
interest paid or payable in respect of Utilisations under Facility A or
Facility B; or

(iii)   (where the relevant Finance Party is an Australian resident, or a non-resident carrying on
business in Australia or through a permanent establishment of the non-resident
in Australia) if the Tax is imposed because that Finance Party has not supplied an
appropriate tax file number, an Australian business number or other exemption
details; or  

(iv)   with respect to a Tax
which would not be required to be deducted by the Obligor if, the Commissioner
of Taxation of the Commonwealth of Australia had not given a notice under
section 260-5 of Schedule 1 of the Australian Taxation  Administration Act 1953 (Cth) or section 255 of the Tax Act requiring the relevant
Obligor to deduct that Tax from any payment to be made by the Obligor to the Finance Party; or

 

 

 

 88  

       

(v)    with respect to a Tax Deduction required to be made for a US
federal withholding tax, to the extent any such Tax Deductions imposed on
amounts payable to or for the account of a Lender with respect to an applicable
interest in a Loan pursuant to a law in effect on the date on which (x) the
Lender acquires such interest in the Loan or (y) such Lender changes its
Facility Office, except in each case of (x) and (y) to the extent that,
pursuant to Clause 14, amounts with
respect to such Taxes were payable either to such Lender's assignor immediately
before such Lender became a party hereto or to such Lender immediately before
it changed its Facility Office; or

(vi)   if the Tax Deduction is required
to be made as a result of a breach by the Finance Party of any of its
obligations under Clause 15 (US Tax Matters); 

(vii)  if the Tax Deduction is required to
be made as a result of any representation or warranty given by the Finance
Party (and not its predecessors) under Clause 15.3 (US Tax Matters)
being untrue; or

(viii) to the  extent the relevant loss,
liability or cost relates to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a Party.

14.5    Tax Credit

If an Obligor makes a Tax Payment and the relevant Finance
Party determines in its absolute discretion that:

(a)       a Tax Credit is attributable to that Tax Payment or to a Tax
Deduction in consequence of which that Tax Payment was required; and

(b)       that Finance Party has obtained, utilised and retained that Tax
Credit,

subject to
Clause 30 (Conduct of Business
by the Finance Parties), the Finance Party
shall pay an amount to the Obligor which that Finance Party determines in its
absolute discretion will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax
position as it would have been in had the circumstances not arisen which caused
the Tax Payment to be required to be made by the Obligor. If an Obligor at any time requests that a
Finance Party make a determination under this Clause the Finance Party
must do so in good faith and provide the Borrower with the results of that
determination in writing, within reasonable time of the request (it being
understood that the determination shall be made in the Finance Party’s absolute
discretion).

14.6    Stamp duties
and Taxes

The Borrowers shall:

(a)       pay; and

(b)       within three Business Days of demand, indemnify each Finance Party
against any cost, expense, loss or liability that Finance Party incurs in
relation to,

all stamp
duty, registration, documentary or other similar Tax payable in respect of any
Finance Document except Transfer Certificates (other than Transfer Certificates
executed 

 

 

 89  

       

pursuant to Clause 9.6 (Right of replacement or
repayment and cancellation in relation to a single Lender or Issuing Bank). 

14.7    Indirect Tax

(a)       All payments to be made by an Obligor under or in connection with
any Finance Document have been calculated without regard to Indirect Tax.  If
all or part of any such payment is the consideration for a taxable supply or
chargeable with Indirect Tax then, when the Obligor makes the payment:

(i)     it
must pay to the Finance Party an additional amount equal to that payment (or
part) multiplied by the appropriate rate of Indirect Tax; and

(ii)    the
Finance Party will promptly provide to the Obligor a tax invoice complying with
the relevant law relating to that Indirect Tax.

(b)       Where a Finance Document requires an Obligor to reimburse or
indemnify a Finance Party for any costs or expenses, that Obligor shall also at
the same time pay and indemnify that Finance Party against all Indirect Tax
incurred by that Finance Party in respect of the costs or expenses save to the
extent that that Finance Party is entitled to repayment or credit in respect of
the Indirect Tax.  The Finance Party will promptly provide to the Obligor a tax
invoice complying with the relevant law relating to that Indirect Tax.

14.8    FATCA
Information

(a)       Subject to paragraph (c) below, each Party shall, within ten
Business Days of a reasonable request by another Party:

(i)     confirm
to that other Party whether it is:

(A)      a FATCA Exempt Party; or

(B)      not a FATCA Exempt Party;

(ii)    supply
to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to
its status under FATCA as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes
of that other Party's compliance with FATCA;

(iii)   supply
to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to
its status as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that
other Party's compliance with any other law, regulation, or exchange of
information regime.

(b)       If a Party confirms to another Party pursuant to paragraph (a)(i)
above that it is a FATCA Exempt Party and it subsequently becomes aware that it
is not or has ceased to be a FATCA Exempt Party, that Party shall notify that
other Party reasonably promptly.

 

 

 90  

       

(c)       Paragraph (a) above shall not
oblige any Finance Party to do anything, and paragraph (a)(iii) above shall not
oblige any other Party to do anything, which would or might in its reasonable
opinion constitute a breach of:

(i)     any
law or regulation;

(ii)    any fiduciary duty; or

(iii)   any duty of confidentiality.

(d)       If a Party fails to confirm whether or not it is a FATCA Exempt
Party or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in
accordance with paragraph (a)(i) or (ii) above (including, for the avoidance of
doubt, where paragraph (c) above applies), then such Party shall be treated for
the purposes of the Finance Documents (and payments under them) as if it is not
a FATCA Exempt Party until such time as the Party in question provides the
requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information.

14.9    FATCA
Deduction

(a)       Each Party may make any FATCA Deduction it is required to make by
FATCA, and any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, and no
Party shall be required to increase any payment in respect of which it makes
such a FATCA Deduction or otherwise compensate the recipient of the payment for
that FATCA Deduction.

(b)       Each Party shall promptly, upon becoming aware that it must make a
FATCA Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of such
FATCA Deduction), notify the Party to whom it is making the payment and, in
addition, shall notify a Borrower and the Agent and the Agent shall notify the
other Finance Parties.

15.      US TAX MATTERS  

15.1    Finance  Party’s Obligations

(a)       Without limiting the generality
of Clause 14.4 (Exclusions): 

(i)     each Lender (other than where a Lender is a “United States Person” within the meaning of Section
7701(a)(30) of the US Tax Code) shall, subject to Clause 15.1(a)(iii), deliver
to the Borrower (and/or such other Obligors as the Borrower designates) and the
Agent two duly executed copies (or such other number as may be specified by the
Borrower in order to comply with then applicable requirements of US law) of
whichever of the following US Internal Revenue Service Forms is applicable,
namely W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8-ECI, W-8-IMY or any successor to any such form
including (if applicable) certification by each relevant Lender under the
applicable income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (and, where
that Lender is (through its relevant Facility Office) claiming exemption from
US federal income and withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the US
Tax Code a statement that it is not a person described in Section 881(c)(3) of
the US Tax Code) and/ or such other forms, certificates and documentation as
may be necessary or appropriate to establish, 

 

 

 

 91  

       

in each case, whether it
is entitled to receive payments under the Facilities without a Tax Deduction
for US federal income or withholding tax or with a Tax Deduction at a reduced
rate;

(ii)    each Lender, where it is a “United States Person” within the meaning of Section
7701(a)(30) of the US Tax Code, shall, subject to Clause 15.1(a)(iii), deliver
to the Borrower (and/or such other Obligors as the Borrower designates) and the
Agent the appropriate number of copies of duly executed US Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or any
successor to that form;

(iii)   each Lender is not obliged to deliver any form(s) under Clause
15.1(a)(i) or (ii) above if, and to the extent that, as a result of the
introduction of, or change in, or change in the interpretation or application
by any relevant authority of, any law, treaty or regulation or any practice or
concession of the US Internal Revenue Service after the Facility Initiation
Date, such Lender is not legally
entitled to complete the form(s) in a manner which will enable the Borrower to make
payments to, or for, such Lender (through its relevant Facility Office) without deduction
or withholding in respect of Taxes in the United States of America or with a
Tax Deduction at a reduced rate; and

(iv)   each Lender  (copying in the Agent at all times) shall deliver the forms, certificates and documentation
described in this Clause 15.1(a) to the Borrower at the following times:

(A)      on or prior to becoming a party to this Agreement;

(B)      upon a change in circumstances (other than the mere
passage of time) requiring a new or additional form, certificate or
documentation; and

(C)      when reasonably
requested by the Borrower.

(b)       If any form,
document or request for information referred to in Clause 15.1(a) or 15.1(c)
requires the disclosure of information, other than information necessary to
compute the Tax payable and such information as is required to be provided on
the withholding forms, certificates and documents (including all attachments,
revisions, updates and replacements currently required) that the relevant Lender is required to provide at
the time it becomes a party to, or acquires an interest in, this Agreement
which information each Lender reasonably considers to be confidential, that
Lender shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such
confidential information provided, however that the identity of any person
shall not be considered confidential if such information is required to avoid
or reduce withholding taxes.  

(c)       Each Lender
shall promptly provide, upon reasonable request from the Borrower any additional information
that the Borrower needs in order for the Borrower to determine the amount of any applicable
withholding taxes, if applicable.

15.2    Register of Loans

(a)       The Agent
shall maintain a register (the US Register) for the registration and transfer
of the Loans, and shall enter the names and addresses
of the registered holders of the 

 

 

 

 92  

       

Loans, the transfers of the
Loans and the names and addresses of the transferees of the Loans. Each Lender,
to the extent such Lender sells participations to any Person in all or a
portion of such Lender’s rights
and/or obligations under this Agreement but remains solely responsible to the
other Parties hereto for the performance of such Lender’s obligations, shall maintain a register
(the Participant Register) on which it enters the name and address of each
participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other
obligations under the Finance Documents. The entries in the US Register and the
Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(b)       A Borrower and any Lender (as
to its own Loans) shall be provided reasonable opportunities to inspect the US
Register from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. No Lender shall have
any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register
(including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a
participant’s interest in any
commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any
Finance Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is
necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other
obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the US Treasury
Regulations (or any successor regulations).

(c)       A Borrower shall treat any
registered holder as the absolute owner of any Loans held by such holder, as
indicated in the US Register, for the purpose of receiving payment of all
amounts payable with respect to such Loans and for all other purposes.  Each
Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant
Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement
notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(d)       Solely for the purposes of this Clause 15.2 and for US federal income tax
purposes, the Agent and each Lender shall be the Borrower’s non-fiduciary agent for
purposes of maintaining the US Register and the Participant Register.

(e)       This Clause
15.2 shall be construed so that the Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” meaning:

(i)     the Loans are
registered obligations and the right, title and interest of each Lender and its
assignees or participants in and to such Loans, shall be
transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the US Register or the
Participant Register; and

(ii)    the right to principal
and interest is transferable only through an entry on the books of the
obligation’s Lender or Agent.

15.3    US Representations

(a)       If a Lender
is a US Person, that Lender warrants, represents and undertakes to a Borrower
that at all times it is, and (except solely as a result of a change in law of
the type described in Clause 16 (Increased costs)) shall be, a “United States person” for US federal withholding tax purposes.

SECTION 7

GUARANTEE

20.      Guarantee

20.1    Guarantee

Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally jointly and
severally:

(a)       guarantees to each Finance Party punctual performance by each
Obligor of all that Obligor's obligations under the Finance Documents;

(b)       undertakes with each Finance Party that:

(i)     whenever
an Obligor does not pay any amount when due under or in connection with any
Finance Document (or anything which would have been due if the Finance Document
or the amount was enforceable, valid and not illegal), immediately on demand by the Finance Party that Guarantor shall pay that amount as if it was the principal
obligor; and

(ii)    if an Ipso Facto Event is continuing, then immediately on demand
by the Agent that Guarantor shall: (A) pay all Loans, accrued interest and all
other amounts referred to in Clause 25.20 (Consequences of Event of Default) as if it was the
principal obligor; and (B) provide
full cash cover for all Bank Guarantees except to the extent they have been
paid or prepaid;

(c)       agrees with each Finance Party that if any obligation guaranteed
by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal, it will, as an
independent and primary obligation, indemnify that Finance Party immediately on demand against any cost,
expense, loss or liability it incurs as a result of an Obligor not paying any
amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality,
have been payable by it under any Finance Document on the date when it would
have been due.  The amount of the cost, expense, loss or liability shall be
equal to the amount which that Finance Party would otherwise have been entitled
to recover.

Each of paragraphs (a), (b)(i), (b)(ii) and (c) is a
separate obligation.  None is limited by reference to the other.

Excluded Swap Obligations are
excluded from the obligations in this Clause 20.1 (Guarantee). 

Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally
absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or
other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Guarantor to
honour all of its obligations under this Guarantee in respect of Swap
Obligations such that they are not Excluded Swap Obligations (provided, however,
that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this
Clause 20 (Guarantee) for the maximum amount of such liability that can be
hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Clause 20 (Guarantee),
or otherwise under this Guarantee, voidable under applicable law relating to
fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). 
Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Clause 20 (Guarantee)
constitute, and this Clause 20 (Guarantee) shall be
deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, 

 

 

 99  

       

or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Guarantor
for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange
Act.

20.2    Continuing
guarantee

This Guarantee is a continuing obligation and will extend
to the ultimate balance of sums payable by any Obligor under the Finance
Documents, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in
part.

20.3    Reinstatement

If any payment to or any discharge, release or arrangement
given or entered into by a Finance Party (whether in respect of the obligations
of any Obligor or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is avoided
or reduced for any reason (including as a result of insolvency, breach of
fiduciary or statutory duties or any similar event) in whole or in part, then
the liability of each Guarantor under this Clause 20 (Guarantee)
will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had
not occurred and any relevant security shall be reinstated.

20.4    Waiver of
defences

The obligations of each Guarantor under this Clause 20 (Guarantee)
will not be affected by an act, omission,
matter or thing which, but for this Clause, would reduce, release or prejudice
any of its obligations under this Clause 20 (Guarantee) (without
limitation and whether or not known to it or any Finance Party) including:

(a)       any time, waiver or other concession or consent granted to, or
composition with, any Obligor or other person;

(b)       the release or resignation of any other Obligor or any other
person;

(c)       any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any Obligor or
other person;

(d)       the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release
of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, execute, take up or enforce, any rights against, or security
over assets of, any Obligor or other person or any non-presentation or
non-observance of any formality or other requirement in respect of any
instrument or any failure to realise the full value of any security;

(e)       any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of
or dissolution or change in the members or status of an Obligor or any other person;

(f)        any amendment, novation, supplement, extension, restatement
(however fundamental and whether or not more onerous) or replacement of any
Finance Document or any other document or security including any change in the purpose of, any
extension of or any increase in any facility or the addition of any new
facility under any Finance Document or other document or security;

(g)       any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation
of any person under any Finance Document or any other
document or security;

(h)       any set off, combination of
accounts or counterclaim;

 

 

 100  

       

(i)        any
insolvency or similar proceedings; or

(j)        this Agreement or any other
Finance Document not being executed by or binding against any other Obligor or any other party.

References in Clause 20.1 
(Guarantee) to obligations of an Obligor or amounts due will include
what would have been obligations or amounts due but for any of the above, as
well as obligations and amounts due which result from any of the above.

20.5    Immediate
recourse

Each Guarantor waives any right it may have of first
requiring any Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed
against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any
person before claiming from that Guarantor under this Clause 20 (Guarantee).  This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any
provision of a Finance Document to the contrary.

20.6    Appropriations

Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the
Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been
irrevocably paid in full, each Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its
behalf) may:

(a)       refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, security or
rights held or received or recovered (by set off or otherwise) by that Finance
Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) in
respect of those amounts, or apply and enforce the same in such manner and
order as it sees fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise) and no
Guarantor shall be entitled to the benefit of the same; and

(b)       without limiting paragraph (a),
refrain from applying any moneys received or recovered (by set off or otherwise) from any Guarantor or on account of any
Guarantor's liability under this Clause 20 (Guarantee) in discharge of that liability or any other liability of an Obligor, and claim or prove against anyone in respect of the full amount
owing by the Obligors.

20.7    Deferral of
Guarantors' rights

Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the
Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been
irrevocably paid in full and unless the Agent otherwise directs, no Guarantor
will exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by it of
its obligations under the Finance Documents or by reason of any amount being
payable, or liability arising, under this Clause 20 (Guarantee):

(a)       to be indemnified by an Obligor;

(b)       to claim any contribution from
any other guarantor of or provider of security for any Obligor's obligations
under the Finance Documents;

(c)       to take the benefit (in whole or
in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the
Finance Parties under the Finance Documents or of any other guarantee or
security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, the Finance Documents by any
Finance Party;

 

 

 101  

       

(d)       to
bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring any Obligor to make any
payment, or perform any obligation, in respect of
which any Guarantor has given a Guarantee under Clause 20.1 
(Guarantee); 

(e)       to exercise any right of set-off against any Obligor;

(f)        to claim or prove as a creditor of any Obligor in competition with any Finance
Party; and/or

(g)       in any form of administration of an Obligor (including
liquidation, winding up, bankruptcy, voluntary administration, dissolution or
receivership or any analogous process) prove for or claim, or exercise any vote or other rights in respect of,
any indebtedness of any nature owed to it by the Obligor.

If a Guarantor receives any benefit, payment or
distribution in relation to such rights it shall hold that benefit, payment or
distribution to the extent necessary to enable all amounts which may be or
become payable to the Finance Parties by the Obligors under or in connection
with the Finance Documents to be repaid in full on trust for the Finance
Parties and shall promptly pay or transfer the same to the Agent or as the
Agent may direct for application in accordance with Clause 33 (Payment Mechanics).

20.8    Release of
Guarantors' right of contribution

If any Guarantor (a "Retiring Guarantor")
ceases to be a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents
for the purpose of any sale or other disposal of that Retiring Guarantor then
on the date such Retiring Guarantor ceases to be a Guarantor:

(a)       that Retiring Guarantor is released by each other Guarantor from
any liability (whether past, present or future and whether actual or
contingent) to make a contribution to any other Guarantor arising by reason of
the performance by any other Guarantor of its obligations under the Finance Documents; and

(b)       each other Guarantor waives any rights it may have by reason of
the performance of its obligations under the Finance Documents to take the
benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Finance
Parties under any Finance Document or of any other Security taken pursuant to,
or in connection with, any Finance Document where such rights or Security are
granted by or in relation to the assets of the Retiring Guarantor.

20.9    Additional
security

This Guarantee is in addition to and is not in any way
prejudiced by any other guarantee or security now or subsequently held by any
Finance Party.

all necessary action to authorise its entry into, performance and delivery of,

Finance Documents are and remain legal, valid, binding and enforceable and that
the Transaction Security has the ranking and priority which it is expressed to
have in the Transaction Security Documents,  that the Finance Documents be filed, recorded or enrolled with
any court or other authority in that jurisdiction or that any stamp,
registration or similar tax be paid on or in relation to the Finance Documents
or the transactions contemplated by the Finance Documents, except registration

22.8    Environmental Health and Safety Matters

Each of Parent and the Borrowers shall, and shall cause
each of its Subsidiaries to (i) comply with applicable Environmental Health and
Safety Laws and Environmental Health and Safety Orders, (ii) obtain, maintain
in full force and effect and comply with the terms and conditions of all
Environmental Health and Safety Permits; (iii) take commercially reasonable

in the case of each of clauses (i)-(v) above, as could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; provided, in each case,
that a failure to take such actions described above shall not be a Default if
Parent, the Borrowers or the applicable Subsidiary is in good faith reasonably
contesting such matter in the applicable jurisdiction in accordance with
applicable Environmental Health and Safety Laws.

23.    Financial Covenants

23.1    Financial covenants

The Parent must ensure that at all times:  

(a)    the ratio of Net Debt to EBITDA for the preceding 12 month period
does not exceed  2.50  times;  

(b)    the ratio of EBITDA to Net Interest Expense for the preceding 12 month period is at
least 3.00 times; and

(c)    the ratio of Net Debt to Net Debt plus Tangible Net Worth,
expressed as a percentage, does not exceed 40%.

When calculating EBITDA for the purposes of the Financial
Covenants the following amounts are to be excluded: 

(i)    cash flows generated from assets subject to a Security  securing Limited Recourse
Financial Indebtedness, except to the extent that
they have been received by an Obligor as
Distributions that have been accounted for as cash in the relevant accounting
period; and

(ii)    amounts otherwise included in EBITDA which are attributable to
Group Members which are not wholly-owned Subsidiaries of the Parent, except if
and to the extent that they have been received by an Obligor as Distributions that have been accounted for as cash in the relevant accounting period.

 

 

 118  

       

Further, if a Group Member acquires either an asset, or an
entity that becomes a Group Member, and when next tested in accordance with
Clause 23.2 (Testing of covenants) the Net Debt to EBITDA Financial
Covenant or the EBITDA to Net Interest Expense Financial Covenant would otherwise be brpeached solely
because EBITDA does not include the contribution of that asset or entity for
all of the 12 month period
preceding the date as at which the Financial
Covenants are tested, then EBITDA is to be calculated to include the
contribution of that asset or entity for all of the 12 month period preceding the date as at which the Financial Covenants are tested
(including EBITDA for the period during which that asset or entity was not
owned by the Group).  Promptly upon
request by the Agent, the Parent must provide such documents, certifications,
audit reports, projections and other supporting information and evidence as the
Agent may require to substantiate the adjustments to EBITDA the subject of this
paragraph.

23.2    Testing of covenants

Without limiting the requirement to maintain compliance
with the Financial Covenants at all times, the Borprowers shall be required to
demonstrate compliance with the Financial Covenants at the following times and on the basis of the
following evidence:

(a)    as at 31 December each year, on the basis of:

(i)    the audited consolidated Financial Statements of the Group as at,
and for the financial year ending on, that date; and

(ii)    the Compliance Certificate, 

given to the Agent under this Agreement; and

(b)    as at 30 June each year, on the basis of:

(i)    the unaudited consolidated
Financial Statements of the Group as at, and for the financial half-year ending
on, that date; and

(ii)    the Compliance Certificate, 

given to the Agent under this Agreement; and

(iii)    the consolidated Financial Statements of the Group as at, and for
the financial half-year ending on, the immediately preceding 31 December (for
the purpose of calculating, in conjunction with the Financial Statements
referred to in Clause 23.2(a)(i), EBITDA and Net Interest Expense for the 12
months ending on the half-year reporting date referred to in Clause 23.2(b)(i)).

(c)    If, at any time changes to US GAAP relevant to the Group and/or
changes to the Group’s accounting treatment (provided such changes in such accounting
treatment are certified by the Auditors of the Parent without qualification as
resulting in the Financial Statements of the Group presenting a true and fair
view of the state of affairs and results of the Group) shall cause either:

(i)    the mathematical results of any Financial Covenant; or

 

 

 

 119  

       

(ii)    the
determination of any definition or element used in the calculation of any
Financial Covenant,

to be different to the results which would have been derived prior
to such changes in accounting in such a manner so as to prejudice the ability
of the Obligors to comply with the terms of the Financial Covenants or any
definition or element used in the calculation opf any Financial Covenant, then
the Parent must notify the Agent
(or if the changes are identified by the Agent, the Agent must notify the
Parent) of the occurrence of such changes in US GAAP and accounting treatments
(as soon as the relevant party becomes aware of any such changes, such notification being the
Notification Date) and then the Parent and the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders)
will enter into discussions to agree appropriate variations to the terms of the
Financial Covenants or any definition or element used in the calculation of any
Financial Covenant (being the Relevant Covenants and Definitions) so
that their original effect and intent may be maintained. 

(d)    If the parties fail to agree on the appropriate variations to the
Relevant Covenants and Definitions within 30 days (or such longer period as the
Parent and the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders) may
agree) of the Notification Date, then from that time, the Parent will provide
the Financial Reports, each Compliance Certificate and all other financial information
required to be provided under this Agreement together with reconciliation
statements necessary to enable the Parent to demonstrate compliance with the
Relevant Covenants and Definitions based on the US GAAP prior to the relevant
change occurring and there shall be no Default or Event of Default under this
Agreement in respect of the Relevant Covenants and Definitions so long as the
Parent demonstrates compliance with the Relevant Covenants and Definitions
based on the US GAAP prior to the change occurring, notwithstanding that the
Parent may not be able to demonstrate such compliance based on the changed US
GAAP.

Obligor may:

(a)    advance money or make available

its security interest.

any other country;

(ii)    the transaction involves any Sanctioned Person; or

(iii)    the transaction may directly involve the proceeds of, or be
applied for the purposes of, conduct which is unlawful in Australia or any

any transaction on the basis of this Clause it must first give the Parent written notice of that fact and the
reasons for it doing so (to the extent giving that information is not
prohibited by law).

activity or dealing with a Sanctioned Person for the purpose of discharging
amounts owing to any Finance Party in respect of the Facilities.

24.15    Sanctions; Anti-Corruption

member of the Group will) directly or
indirectly, use the proceeds of any Facility (or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any person): (i) to fund any activities of or
business with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, or in any
other manner that would result in a violation of Sanctions by any Finance Party
or (ii) in violation of any
Anti-Corruption Laws.

(a)    The Parent must ensure that, subject to paragraph (d), at all times during
the term of the Facilities, the Obligor Group together accounts for:  

(i)    at least 90% of Total Tangible Assets (on a consolidated basis) of
the Relevant Group; and

(ii)    at least 90% of EBITDA (on a consolidated basis) of the Relevant
Group.

(b)    For the purposes of these tests, in calculating:

(i)    Total Tangible Assets of the Relevant Group, Total
Tangible Assets will be adjusted to
eliminate the direct contributions of Excluded Subsidiaries; and

(ii)    EBITDA of the Relevant Group, EBITDA will
be adjusted to eliminate:

(A)    amounts otherwise included in EBITDA which are attributable to
Group Members which are Excluded Subsidiaries, except if and to the extent that they have been
received by an Obligor as Distributions that have
been 

 

 

 

 125  

       

accounted for as cash or cash
equivalents in the relevant accounting period; and

(B)    cash flows generated from assets subject to a Security  securing Limited Recourse F@_*inancial
Indebtedness, except if and to the extent that they have been received by an
Obligor as Distributions that have been accounted for
as cash or cash
equivalents in the relevant accounting
period.

(c)    Without
limiting the Parent's obligations under Clause 24.16(a), upon a Project Company
ceasing to have any Limited Recourse Financial Indebtedness it will cease to be a Project Company and
will be taken into account for the purposes of calculating compliance with
Clause 24.16(a). If the relevant entity is required to be a Guarantor to comply
with Clause
24.16(a), the Parent must procure that it becomes a Guarantor (and where it is
incorporated in Australia or the United States of America (or any state or
commonwealth thereof, including the District of Columbia), a member of the
Obligor Group) within 3 Months of it ceasing to be a Project Company. 

(d)    If required in order to ensure compliance with Clause 24.16(a) the Parent
must ensure that a Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) becomes party
to this Agreement (and the Security Trust
Deed and relevant Transaction Security Documents) as a Guarantor by complying with Clause 27 (Changes to Obligors) within 30 days of delivery of a
Compliance Certificate or otherwise becoming aware that the tests in paragraph (a) may not be met.  

24.17    Environmental
matters

(a)    Each Group Member shall:

(i)    obtain,
maintain and ensure material compliance with all Environmental Approvals; and

(ii)    implement and maintain procedures and management systems which are
adequate to ensure and monitor its compliance with Environmental Health and Safety Laws and to prevent any
Environmental Liability.

(b)    Without limiting any other reporting obligations in this
Agreement, each Group Member shall, promptly upon becoming aware, notify the
Agent of:

(i)    each written request, notification,
demand or other communication received from a Governmental
Agency in connection with a breach or potential breach of any Environmental
Health and Safety Law or Environmental Approval;

(ii)    any proceedings that would reasonably be likely to give rise to an
Environmental Liability that are ongoing or commenced or, to its knowledge,
threatened in writing; or

(iii)    any circumstances reasonably likely to
result in an Environmental Liability,

 

 

 

 126  

       

in each case (a) and (b) above
which has, had or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect or
would otherwise result in any liability (including any Environmental Liability)
of a Finance Party.

(c)    Where
a Finance Party reasonably suspects that a
Group Member is not complying in a material respect
with an Environmental Health and
Safety Law or Environmental Approval and, after consultation with the
Group Member, the Finance Party reasonably continues to suspect
non-compliance, a Finance Party may (but shall have no
obligation to), at the cost of the Borrower, appoint an
Environmental expert (in consultation with the Borrower) to conduct
an audit of the relevant Group Member’s Premises, procedures and management
systems (limited in scope to those matters directly relating to the alleged
non-compliance), and compliance with such procedures and systems relating to
that area and/or request copies of any risk registers or internal or external
audits of such procedures and compliance conducted by the relevant Group Member.  Each Group
Member will do everything reasonably necessary to facilitate any such audit. 
For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this clause requires any Finance Party
to monitor or take any action to monitor compliance by the Group Members with their obligations under an Environmental
Health and Safety Law or Environmental Approval. This audit
is not to be a general audit of all of the Group Member’s system and processes.

(d)    Without limitation to any other rights of a Finance Party, where the procedures or the audit referred to in clause (c) above
reveal any Environmental Liability or non-compliance with Environmental Health and Safety Law or Environmental
Approval, the Borrower will promptly implement a plan to remedy such Environmental
Liability or non-compliance and provide the Agent with an update on the
implementation of such plan.

(e)    Each Group Member will ensure that at
all times it has made adequate provision to comply with its reclamation,
rehabilitation and restoration obligations under Environmental Health and Safety Law in respect of land
upon which its activities are or have been conducted, including but not limited
to the provision and maintenance of adequate financial assurances under
Environmental Health and Safety Law.

(f)    Where a Utilisation is used to fund a project to which the Equator
Principles would apply, the Borrower will ensure that the development of that project complies with
the Equator Principles or comparable standards that
meet or exceed the objectives of the Equator Principles. 

24.18    Partnerships and joint ventures

Other than investments in existence as at the Facility
Initiation Date and disclosed in the materials delivered to the Agent as a condition precedent under Part I of Schedule 2 (Conditions
precedent), no Group Member shall make any new or additional investment by
way of partnership, joint venture (whether incorporated or unincorporated) or
non-wholly owned Subsidiary or acquire any further equity in or provide
financial accommodation (subject always to Clause 24.9 (Financial accommodation))
to such partnership, joint venture or non-wholly owned subsidiary unless the
entity that is party to or holds the investment in (as the 

 

 

 127  

       

case may be) the partnership or joint venture, or who holds
the equity in the incorporated joint venture or non-wholly owned Subsidiary, or
provides the financial accommodation is an Obligor.

24.19    Treasury Transactions

(a)    No Obligor shall enter into any Treasury Transaction except Treasury
Transactions consistent with and compliant with the Hedging Policy.  

(b)    No Obligor shall enter into any Treasury Transaction for the purpose of

regarding Secured Property

(a)    Each Obligor
will ensure that at all times, (1) each mining tenement issued to it or in its
favour (other than a Project Asset) is and remains at all times the subject of
a Mining Tenement Security and (2) if any such Obligor acquires, leases,
licenses or otherwise obtains any rights to any additional property or asset
after the Listing Date (other than US Excluded Property), such Obligor shall execute and deliver to the Security Trustee for the
benefit of the Beneficiaries, the Transaction Security Documents reasonably
necessary, or as the Agent may reasonably deem necessary, to grant first
priority perfected Security and security interests (subject only to Permitted
Security) in and to such property or asset of such Obligor, in each case in
accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents.

(b)    Whenever the
Agent or the Security Trustee requests an Obligor to do anything: (i) to ensure
any Finance Document (or any security interest (as defined in the PPSA) or
other Security under any Finance Document) is fully effective, enforceable and
perfected with the contemplated priority; (ii) for more satisfactorily assuring or securing to
the Finance Parties the property the subject of any such security interest or
other Security in a manner consistent with the Finance Documents; or (iii) for
aiding the exercise of any power in any Finance Document, the Obligor shall do
it promptly at its own cost. This may include obtaining consents, signing
documents, getting documents completed and signed and supplying information,
delivering documents and evidence of title and executed blank transfers, or
otherwise giving possession or control with respect to any property the subject
of any security interest or Security, and/or executing, endorsing,
acknowledging, filing or delivering to the Security Trustee, promptly, upon the
reasonable request of the Agent or the Security Trustee, any document or
instrument supplemental to or confirmatory of the Transaction Security
Documents, including opinions of counsel, or otherwise deemed by the Agent or
the Security Trustee reasonably necessary for the continued validity,
perfection (or the equivalent under applicable Australian law) and priority of
the Transaction Security covered thereby subject to no other Security except
for Permitted Security or as otherwise permitted by the applicable Transaction
Security Document.

(c)    Without limitation of clause (a) or
(b) above, with respect to Real Property;

(i)    if any
Obligor acquires, leases or licenses any Real Property after the Listing Date, such Obligor shall promptly provide to the Security Trustee and
Agent 

 

 

 

 128  

       

notice thereof with details as to such Real Property, and within one
hundred twenty (120) days thereafter (or
such longer period as may be extended by the Agent in its sole discretion), shall work
diligently with the Security Trustee and Agent to confirm that all
documentation has been prepared, executed and delivered (including third party
consents) which is necessary to grant a first-priority perfected Transaction
Security on all such Real Property, including as extracted minerals and
fixtures of the Obligors in connection with such Real Property (other than US
Excluded Property) in favor of the Security Trustee, including opinions of
local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction as to the enforceability of the
applicable Mortgages and the authority of the Obligors to grant such Mortgage
(including third party consents), with such opinions to be reasonably
satisfactory to the Security Trustee and the Agent; provided  that, if
after such period any Security Consent has not been
obtained and Security over the Relevant Asset as contemplated by a Transaction
Security Document has not been perfected to the satisfaction of the Agent, then
(x) that shall not be an Event of Default or Review Event but the Obligors must
continue to use reasonable commercial endeavours to obtain that Security
Consent and perfect the Security over that Relevant Asset, and must respond
promptly to requests by the Agent for information concerning progress in that
regard together with details of the reasonable endeavours undertaken and (y)
the Obligors must promptly (and, in any case, no later than 5 Business Days
after such period) provide to the Agent sufficient information in reasonable
detail about each missing Security Consent to enable the Agent to ascertain the
materiality or otherwise of the absence of that or those Security Consents (and
it is acknowledged that, in using reasonable commercial endeavours to obtain a Security Consent, no Obligor will be required to pay
any fee or pay any other consideration or agree to any commercial change that
would be detrimental to any Obligor);

(ii)    each Obligor shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary, from time to
time, at its expense, to preserve and protect the Security Trustee’s Security on the Real
Property as a continuing first priority perfected Transaction Security, subject
only to Permitted Security,
and shall do such other acts and things as may be necessary or as the Agent may
reasonably deem necessary from time to time in order to preserve, perfect and
protect the Security granted under the Transaction Security Documents and to
exercise and enforce its rights and remedies thereunder with respect to the
Real Property, except to the extent otherwise permitted hereunder; and

(iii)    if any portion of any real
property that is subject to a Mortgage as required hereunder is at any time
located in an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or
any successor agency) as a special flood hazard area with respect to which
flood insurance has been made available under the National Flood Insurance Act
of 1968 (as now or hereafter in effect or successor act thereto), then the
Borrowers shall, or shall cause each Subsidiary to (i) maintain, or cause to be
maintained, with a financially sound and reputable 

 

 

 

 129  

       

insurer, flood insurance
in an amount and otherwise sufficient to comply with all applicable rules and
regulations promulgated pursuant to the Flood Laws and (ii) deliver to the
Agent and Security Trustee evidence of such compliance in form and substance reasonably acceptable
to the Agent and Security Trustee.   Each Obligor or Subsidiary shall
take all actions required under the Flood Laws and/or reasonably requested by
the Security Trustee or Agent, to assist in ensuring that each Lender is in
compliance with the Flood Laws applicable to the Transaction Security,
including, to the extent applicable, providing the Security Trustee and Agent
with the address and/or GPS coordinates of each structure on any real property
that will be subject to a Mortgage hereunder, and, to the extent required,
obtaining flood insurance for such property, structures and contents prior to
such property, structures and contents becoming Transaction Security, and
thereafter maintaining such flood insurance in full force and effect for so
long as required by the Flood Laws. Parent shall provide the Security Trustee
and Agent with at least twenty-five (25) days’ prior written notice (which such
notice shall promptly be furnished to the Lenders) of any Mortgage and that,
upon confirmation from the Lenders that flood insurance due diligence has been
completed and compliance with the flood insurance requirements set forth in
this Agreement, such real property will be pledged as Transaction Security
under the Transaction Security Documents.

Without limiting Clause 4.5 (Conditions Subsequent – other) the Obligors shall, and shall cause each of the
Subsidiaries, to work diligently with the Security Trustee and Agent to confirm

third party consents) which is necessary to grant a first-priority perfected
Transaction Security on all Real Property, as extracted minerals and fixtures
of the Borrowers or applicable Subsidiary (other than US Excluded Property) in
favor of the Security Trustee, including opinions of local counsel in each
applicable jurisdiction as to the enforceability of the applicable Mortgages
and the authority of the Borrowers or the applicable Subsidiary to grant such

satisfactory to the Security Trustee and the Agent within 120 days after the

26.1    Assignments and novations by the Lenders

Subject to this Clause 26 (Changes to the Lenders),
a Lender (the "Existing Lender") may:

(a)    assign any of its rights; or

(b)    novate any of its rights and obligations,

under the Finance Documents to another bank or financial
institution or to a trust, fund or other entity which is regularly engaged in
or established for the purpose of making, purchasing or investing in loans,
securities or other financial assets (including credit derivatives) (the "New
Lender"). 

26.2    Conditions of assignment or novation

(a)    The consent
of a Borrower is required for an assignment or novation by an Existing Lender,
unless the assignment or novation is:

(i)    to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; or

(ii)    made at a time when an Event of Default or Review Event is
continuing; or

(iii)    to a securitisation or funding vehicle.

(b)    The consent
of a Borrower to an assignment or novation must not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed or subject to unreasonable conditions.  The Borrowers will be deemed to
have given its consent five Business Days after the Existing Lender has
requested it unless consent is expressly refused by a Borrower within that
time.

(c)    An assignment
will only be effective:

(i)    if the procedure set out in Clause 26.6 
(Procedure for assignment) is complied with;

(ii)    on receipt by the Agent (whether in the Assignment Agreement or
otherwise) of written confirmation from the New Lender (in form and substance
satisfactory to the Agent) that the New Lender will assume the same obligations
to the other Finance Parties and the other Beneficiaries as it would have been under
if it was an Original Lender;

(iii)    on performance by the Agent of all necessary "know your
customer" or other similar checks under all applicable laws and
regulations in relation to such assignment to a New Lender, the completion of
which the Agent shall promptly notify to the Existing Lender and the New
Lender; and

(iv)    on receipt by the Agent of confirmation from the Security Trustee
that the Security Trustee has performed all necessary "know your
customer" or other similar checks under all applicable laws and
regulations in relation to such 

 

 

 

 137  

       

assignment to a New Lender
(the receipt of which the Agent shall promptly notify to the Existing Lender
and the New Lender) and the New Lender has become bound by a relevant
Recognition Certificate.

(d)    A novation will only be effective:

(i)    if the procedure set out in Clause 26.5 
(Procedure for novation) is complied with;

(ii)    on performance by the Agent of all necessary "know your
customer" or other similar checks under all applicable laws and
regulations in relation to such novation to a New Lender, the completion of
which the Agent shall promptly notify to the Existing Lender and the New
Lender; and

(iii)    on receipt by the Agent of confirmation from the Security Trustee
that the Security Trustee has performed all necessary "know your
customer" or other similar checks under all applicable laws and
regulations in relation to such novation to a New Lender (the receipt of which
the Agent shall promptly notify to the Existing Lender and the New Lender) and
the New Lender has become bound by a relevant Recognition Certificate.

(e)    If:

(i)    a Lender assigns or novates any of its rights or obligations under
the Finance Documents or changes its Facility Office; and

(ii)    as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment,
novation or change occurs, an Obligor would be obliged to make a payment to the
New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office under Clause 14 (Tax Gross Up and Indemnities) or
Clause 16 (Increased Costs),

then the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility
Office is only entitled to receive payment under those Clauses to the same
extent as the Existing Lender or Lender acting through its previous Facility
Office would have been if the assignment, novation or change had not occurred except
to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a
change in law or regulation that occurs after the assignment or novation.  This
paragraph (e) shall not apply:

(iii)    in respect of an assignment or novation made in the ordinary
course of the primary syndication of the Facilities; or

(iv)    where the payment is in relation to Australian Withholding Tax and
there are at least two Lenders after the assignment, novation or change, and
the New Lender, or Lender acting through its new Facility Office, is not an
Offshore Associate of the Borrower.  In such instances, the New Lender, or
Lender acting through its new Facility Office will be entitled to full payment
under Clause 14 (Tax Gross Up and
Indemnities), subject to Clause 14.4 (Exclusions)
..

 

 

 138  

       

(f)    Each New
Lender, by executing the relevant Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement,
confirms, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Agent has authority to execute
on its behalf any amendment or waiver that has been approved by or on behalf of
the requisite Lender or Lenders in accordance with this Agreement on or prior
to the date on which the novation or assignment becomes effective in accordance
with this Agreement and that it is bound by that decision to the same extent as
the Existing Lender would have been had it remained a Lender.

(g)    A Lender may not assign or novate any of its rights or obligations
under the Finance Documents or change its Facility Office, if the New Lender or
the Lender acting through its new Facility Office would be entitled to exercise
any rights under Clause 9.1  (Illegality)
as a result of circumstances existing as at the date the assignment, novation
or change is proposed to occur.

26.3    Assignment or novation fee

The New Lender shall, on the date upon which an assignment
or novation takes effect, pay to the Agent (for its own account) a fee as
notified by the Agent from time to time.

(a)    Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, an Existing Lender makes
no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility to a New Lender
for:

(i)    the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability
of the Finance Documents or any other documents;

(ii)    the financial condition of any Obligor or any other person;

(iii)    the performance and observance by any Obligor or any other person
of its obligations under the Finance Documents or any other documents; or

(iv)    the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made in
or in connection with any Finance Document or any other document,

and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.

(b)    Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender, the other Finance
Parties and the Beneficiaries that it:

(i)    has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent
investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of each
Obligor and its related entities and any other person in connection with its
participation in this Agreement and has not relied exclusively on any
information provided to it by the Existing Lender in connection with any
Finance Document; and

(ii)    will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the
creditworthiness of each Obligor and its related entities and any other person
whilst any amount is or may be outstanding under the Finance Documents or any
Commitment is in force.

 

 

 139  

       

(c)    Nothing in
any Finance Document obliges an Existing Lender to:

(i)    accept a novation or re-assignment from a New Lender of any of the
rights and obligations assigned or novated under this Clause 26 (Changes to the Lenders); or

(ii)    support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Lender
by reason of the non-performance by any Obligor or any other person of its
obligations under the Finance Documents or otherwise.

26.5    Procedure for novation

(a)    Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 26.2  (Conditions of assignment or novation) a
novation is effected in accordance with paragraph (e) below when the Agent
executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate delivered to it by
the Existing Lender and the New Lender.  The Agent shall, subject to paragraphs
(b) and (c) below, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a
duly completed Transfer Certificate appearing on its face to comply with the
terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, execute that Transfer Certificate.

(b)    The Agent shall only be obliged to execute a Transfer Certificate
delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender once it is satisfied
it has complied with all necessary "know your customer" or other
similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the
transfer to such New Lender.

(c)    The Agent may refrain from executing a Transfer Certificate
pending satisfaction of Clause 26.2(c)(iii)  (Conditions
of assignment or novation) and acting reasonably, may delay executing a
Transfer Certificate pending a payment, distribution or Utilisation under or in
respect of the Finance Documents.

(d)    Each Party other than the Existing Lender irrevocably authorises
the Agent to execute any Transfer Certificate on its behalf.

(e)    Subject to Clause 26.9  (Pro
rata interest settlement), on the Transfer Date:

(i)    to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the Existing Lender
seeks to novate its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents each of
the Obligors and the Existing Lender shall be released from further obligations
towards one another under the Finance Documents and their respective rights
against one another under the Finance Documents shall be cancelled (being the
"Discharged Rights and Obligations"); 

(ii)    each of the Obligors and the New Lender shall assume obligations
towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another which differ from
the Discharged Rights and Obligations only insofar as that Obligor and the New
Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of that Obligor and the
Existing Lender;

 

 

 140  

       

(iii)    the Agent, the Arranger, the New Lender and other Lenders shall
acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as
they would have acquired and assumed had the New Lender been an Original Lender
with the rights and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the
novation and to that extent the Agent, the Arranger and the Existing Lender
shall each be released from further obligations to each other under the Finance
Documents;

(iv)    the New Lender shall become a Party as a "Lender"
and entitled to the benefits of any other document entered into by the Agent as
agent for the Lenders and will be bound by obligations equivalent to the
Relevant Obligations (as defined in Clause 26.6(c)(ii) 
(Procedure for assignment) below); and

(v)    for the purposes of this Agreement, Commitments, participations in
Loans and rights and obligations will be taken to have been transferred under a
Transfer Certificate even though it operates as a novation and Commitments,
participations in Loans and rights and obligations are replaced rather than
transferred.

26.6    Procedure for assignment

(a)    Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 26.2  (Conditions of assignment or novation)
an assignment may be effected in accordance with paragraph (c) below when the
Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Assignment Agreement delivered to it
by the Existing Lender and the New Lender.  The Agent shall, subject to
paragraph (b) below, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a
duly completed Assignment Agreement appearing on its face to comply with the
terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, execute that Assignment Agreement.

(b)    The Agent shall only be obliged to execute an Assignment Agreement
delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender once it is satisfied
it has complied with all necessary "know your customer" or other
similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the
assignment to such New Lender.

(c)    Subject to Clause 26.9  (Pro
rata interest settlement), on the Transfer Date:

(i)    the Existing Lender will assign absolutely to the New Lender the
rights under the Finance Documents expressed to be the subject of the
assignment in the Assignment Agreement;

(ii)    the Existing Lender will be released by each Obligor and the other
Finance Parties from the obligations owed by it (the "Relevant
Obligations") and expressed to be the subject of the release in the
Assignment Agreement; and

(iii)    the New Lender shall become a Party as a "Lender"
and entitled to the benefits of any other document entered into by the Agent as
agent for the Lenders and will be bound by obligations equivalent to the
Relevant Obligations.

 

 

 141  

       

(d)    Lenders may
utilise procedures other than those set out in this Clause 26.6  (Procedure for assignment) to assign
(including by equitable assignment) their rights under the Finance Documents
(but not, without the consent of the relevant Obligor or unless in accordance
with Clause 26.5  (Procedure for novation),
to obtain a release by that Obligor from the obligations owed to that Obligor
by the Lenders nor the assumption of equivalent obligations by a New Lender)
provided that they comply with the conditions set out in Clause 26.2  (Conditions of assignment or novation). 

26.7    Copy of Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement to Company

The Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after it
has executed a Transfer Certificate or an Assignment Agreement, send to a
Borrower a copy of that Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement.

26.8    Security over Lenders' rights

In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders under
this Clause 26 (Changes to the
Lenders), each Lender may without
consulting with or obtaining consent from any Obligor, at any time charge,
assign or otherwise create Security in or over (whether by way of collateral or
otherwise) all or any of its rights under any Finance Document to secure
obligations of that Lender including:

(a)    any charge, assignment or other Security to secure obligations to
a federal reserve or central bank; and

(b)    any charge, assignment or other Security granted to any holders
(or trustee or representatives of holders) of obligations owed, or securities
issued, by that Lender as security for those obligations or securities,

except that no such charge, assignment or
Security shall:

(i)    release a Lender from any of its obligations under the Finance
Documents or substitute the beneficiary of the relevant charge, assignment or
Security for the Lender as a party to any of the Finance Documents; or

(ii)    require any payments to be made by an Obligor other than or in
excess of, or grant to any person any more extensive rights than, those
required to be made or granted to the relevant Lender under the Finance
Documents.

26.9    Pro rata interest settlement

(a)    If the Agent has notified the Lenders that it is able to
distribute interest payments on a "pro rata basis" to Existing
Lenders and New Lenders then (in respect of any novation pursuant to Clause 26.5  (Procedure for novation) or any
assignment pursuant to Clause 26.6  (Procedure
for assignment) the Transfer Date of which, in each case, is after the date
of such notification and is not on the last day of an Interest Period):

(i)    any interest or fees in respect of the relevant participation
which are expressed to accrue by reference to the lapse of time shall continue
to accrue in favour of the Existing Lender up to but excluding the Transfer
Date ("Accrued Amounts") and shall become due and payable to
the Existing Lender (without further interest accruing on them) on the last day
of the current Interest Period 

 

 

 

 142  

       

(or, if the Interest Period is
longer than six Months, on the next of the dates which falls at six Monthly
intervals after the first day of that Interest Period); and

(ii)    the rights assigned or novated by the Existing Lender will not
include the right to the Accrued Amounts, so that, for the avoidance of doubt:

(A)    when the Accrued Amounts become
payable, those Accrued Amounts will be payable to the Existing Lender; and

(B)    the amount payable to the New Lender on
that date will be the amount which would, but for the application of this
Clause 26.9  ( Pro rata interest settlement), have been payable to it on that date,
but after deduction of the Accrued Amounts.

(b)    In this Clause 26.9   (Pro rata interest settlement) references to "Interest
Period" shall be construed to include a reference to any other period for
accrual of fees.

(c)    An Existing Lender which retains the right to the Accrued Amounts
pursuant to this Clause 26.9 (Pro rata interest settlement) but which does not have a
Commitment shall be deemed not to be a Lender for the purposes of ascertaining
whether the agreement of any specified group of Lenders has been obtained to
approve any request for a consent, waiver, amendment or other vote of Lenders
under the Finance Documents.

SECTION 10

THE FINANCE PARTIES

29.    Role of the Agent, the Arranger, the
Reference Banks
 

29.1    Appointment of the Agent  

(a)    Each of the Arranger and the Lenders appoints the Agent to act as
its agent under and in connection with the Finance Documents.  The Agent will
be agent for the Arranger and the Lenders except as described in paragraph (d)
below.

(b)    Each of the Arranger and the Lenders irrevocably appoints the
Agent to act as its agent to execute a relevant Recognition Certificate on its
behalf, ratifies that execution, and agrees it is therefore bound as set out
the Recognition Certificate by the terms set out in the Security Trust Deed.

(c)    Each of the Arranger and the Lenders authorises the Agent to
perform the duties, obligations and responsibilities and to exercise the
rights, powers, authorities and discretions specifically given to the Agent
under or in connection with the Finance Documents together with any other
incidental rights, powers, authorities and discretions.

(d)    Where the Agent provides services in connection with the
administration of the Utilisations, that is when it calculates rates and
amounts, keeps records, receives and distributes payments and information
received under Clause 22 (Information Undertakings) and Clause 22.4 (Information:
miscellaneous) , and receives and deals with
Utilisation Requests and Selection Notices, it does not provide those services
as agent for the Arranger or the Lenders, but as principal, but the remainder
of this Clause 29 (Role of the
Agent, the Arranger, the Reference Banks) still
applies.

29.2    Instructions

(a)    The Agent shall:

(i)    unless a
contrary indication appears in a Finance Document, exercise or refrain from
exercising any right, power, authority or discretion vested in it as Agent in
accordance with any instructions given to it by:

(A)    all Lenders if the relevant Finance Document stipulates the matter
is an all Lender decision; and

(B)    in all other cases, the Majority Lenders if the relevant Finance
Document stipulates the matter is a Majority Lender decision; and

(ii)    not be liable for any act (or omission) if it acts (or refrains
from acting) in accordance with paragraph (i) above.

(b)    The Agent shall be entitled to request instructions, or
clarification of any instruction, from the Majority Lenders (or, if the
relevant Finance Document stipulates the matter is a decision for any other
Lender or group of Lenders, from that Lender or group of Lenders) as to
whether, and in what manner, it should exercise or refrain from exercising any
right, power, authority or discretion.  The Agent may refrain from 

 

 

 

 147  

       

acting unless and until it
receives any such instructions or clarification that it has requested.

(c)    Save in the case of decisions stipulated to be a matter for any
other Lender or group of Lenders under the relevant Finance Document and unless
a contrary indication appears in a Finance Document, any instructions given to
the Agent by the Majority Lenders shall override any conflicting instructions
given by any other Parties and will be binding on all Finance Parties.

(d)    The Agent may refrain from acting in accordance with any
instructions of any Lender or group of Lenders until it has received any
indemnification and/or security that it may in its discretion require (which
may be greater in extent than that contained in the Finance Documents and which
may include payment in advance) for any cost, loss or liability which it may
incur in complying with those instructions.  The Agent may specify that the
security be cash, in which case a Borrower must provide it on request, failing
which each Lender must on request pay its proportion of the cash according to
its Commitment.  Any amount recovered by the Agent under any security will be
taken to be an amount paid by the party which provided that security.

(e)    In the absence of instructions, the Agent may act (or refrain from
acting) as it considers to be in the best interest of the Lenders.

(f)    The Agent is not authorised to act on behalf of a Lender (without
first obtaining that Lender's consent) in any legal or arbitration proceedings
relating to any Finance Document.

29.3    Duties of the Agent

(a)    The Agent's duties under the Finance Documents are solely
mechanical and administrative in nature.

(b)    Subject to paragraph (c) below, the Agent shall promptly forward
to a Party the original or a copy of any document which is delivered to the
Agent for that Party by any other Party.

(c)    Without prejudice to Clause 26.7 
(Copy of Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement to Company)
paragraph (b) above shall not apply to any Transfer Certificate or to any
Assignment Agreement.

(d)    Except where a Finance Document specifically provides otherwise,
the Agent is not obliged to review or check the adequacy, accuracy or
completeness of any document it forwards to another Party.

(e)    If the Agent receives notice from a Party referring to this
Agreement, describing a Default or Review Event and stating that the
circumstance described is a Default or Review Event, it shall promptly notify
the other Finance Parties.

(f)    If the Agent is aware of the non-payment of any principal,
interest, commitment fee or other fee payable to a Finance Party (other than
the Agent or the Arranger) under this Agreement it shall promptly notify the
other Finance Parties.

 

 

 148  

       

(g)    The Agent
shall have only those duties, obligations and responsibilities expressly
specified in the Finance Documents to which it is expressed to be a party (and
no others shall be implied).

(h)    If the Agent receives a request by a Lender, the Agent will
provide a privacy notice (in the form recommended by the Asia Pacific Loan
Market Association (Australian Branch) or as otherwise directed by a Finance
Party) to a representative of the officers of an Obligor whose personal
information has been collected on behalf of the Finance Parties, which details
the manner in which personal information collected in connection with this
Agreement may be used and disclosed by the Finance Parties.

29.4    Role of the Arranger

Except as specifically provided in the Finance Documents,
the Arranger has no obligations of any kind to any other Party under or in
connection with any Finance Document.

29.5    No fiduciary duties

(a)    Nothing in any Finance Document constitutes the Agent or the
Arranger as a trustee or fiduciary of any other person.

(b)    None of the Agent, the Security Trustee or the Arranger shall be
bound to account to any Lender for any sum or the profit element of any sum
received by it for its own account.

29.6    Business with the Group

The Agent and the Arranger may accept deposits from, lend
money to and generally engage in any kind of banking or other business with any
Group Member.

29.7    Rights and discretions; Delegation
of Duties

(a)    The Agent may:

(i)    rely on any representation, communication, notice or document
believed by it to be genuine, correct and appropriately authorised;

(ii)    assume that:

(A)    any instructions received by it from the Majority Lenders, any
Lenders or any group of Lenders are duly given in accordance with the terms of
the Finance Documents; and

(B)    unless it has received notice of revocation, that those
instructions have not been revoked; and

(iii)    rely on a written statement from any person:

(A)    as to any matter of fact or circumstance which might reasonably be
expected to be within the knowledge of that person; or

(B)    to the effect that such person approves of any particular dealing,
transaction, step, action or thing,

 

 

 149  

       

as sufficient evidence that
that is the case and, in the case of paragraph (A) above, may assume the truth
and accuracy of that statement.

(b)    The Agent may assume (unless it has received notice to the
contrary in its capacity as agent for the Lenders) that:

(i)    no Default or Review Event has occurred (unless it has actual
knowledge of a Default);

(ii)    any right, power, authority or discretion vested in any Party or
any group of Lenders has not been exercised; and

(iii)    any notice or
request made by a Borrower (other than a Utilisation Request or Selection
Notice) is made on behalf of and with the consent and knowledge of all the
Obligors.

(c)    The Agent may engage and pay for the advice or services of any
lawyers, accountants, surveyors or other experts or professional advisers.

(d)    Without prejudice to the generality of paragraph (c) above or paragraph
(e) below, the Agent may at any time engage and pay for the services of any
lawyers to act as independent counsel to the Agent (and so separate from any
lawyers instructed by the Lenders) if the Agent in its reasonable opinion deems
this to be necessary.

(e)    The Agent may rely on the advice or services of any lawyers,
accountants, tax advisers, surveyors or other professional advisers or experts
(whether obtained by the Agent or by any other Party) and shall not be liable
for any damages, costs or losses to any person, any diminution in value or any
liability whatsoever arising as a result of its so relying.

(f)    The Agent may act in relation to the Finance Documents through its
officers, employees, secondees and agents.

(g)    Unless a Finance Document expressly provides otherwise the Agent
may disclose to any other Party any information it reasonably believes it has
received as Agent under this Agreement.

(h)    Without limiting paragraph (g) above, the Agent may disclose the
identity of a Defaulting Finance Party to the other Finance Parties and a
Borrower and shall disclose it on the written request of a Borrower or the
Majority Lenders.

(i)    Notwithstanding any other provision of any Finance Document to the
contrary, neither the Agent nor the Arranger is obliged to do or omit to do
anything if it would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of
any law or regulation or a breach of a fiduciary duty or duty of
confidentiality.

(j)    Notwithstanding any provision of any Finance Document to the
contrary, the Agent is not obliged to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise
incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties, obligations or
responsibilities or the exercise of any right, power, authority or discretion
if it has grounds for believing the repayment of 

 

 

 

 150  

       

such funds or adequate
indemnity against, or security for, such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it.

(k)    The Parties need not enquire whether any instructions from all or
a percentage of Lenders or the Majority Lenders have been given to the Agent or
as to the terms of those instructions.  As between the other Parties on the one
hand and the Agent and Lenders on the other, everything done by the Agent under
or in relation to the Finance Documents will be taken to be authorised.

29.8    Responsibility for documentation

Neither the Agent nor the Arranger is responsible or liable
for:

(a)    the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any information (whether
oral or written) supplied by the Agent, the Arranger, an Obligor or any other
person given in or in connection with any Finance Document or the transactions
contemplated in the Finance Documents or any other agreement, arrangement or
document; or

(b)    the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability
of any Finance Document or any other agreement, arrangement or document; or

(c)    any determination as to whether any information provided or to be
provided to any Finance Party is non-public information the use of which may be
regulated or prohibited by applicable law or regulation relating to insider
dealing or otherwise.

29.9    No duty to monitor

The Agpent shall not be bound to enquire:

(a)    whether or not any Default or Review Event has occurred;

obligations under any Finance Document or any other agreement, arrangement or
document; or

(c)    whether any other event specified in any Finance Document has
occurred.

29.10    Exclusion of liability

(a)    Without limiting paragraph (b) below (and without prejudice to any
other provision of any Finance Document excluding or limiting the liability of
the Agent), the Agent will not be liable for:

(i)    any damages, costs or losses to any person, any diminution in
value, or any liability whatsoever arising as a result of taking or not taking
any action under or in connection with any Finance Document, unless directly
caused by its gross negligence or wilful misconduct;

discretion given to it by, or in connection with, any Finance Document or any
other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in

by reason of its gross negligence or wilful misconduct; or

 

 

 151  

       

(iii)    without prejudice to the generality of paragraphs
(i) and (ii) above, any damages, costs
or losses to any person, any diminution in value or any liability whatsoever
(but not including any claim based on the fraud of the Agent) arising as a
result of:

(A)    any act, event or circumstance not reasonably within its control;
or

(B)    the general risks of investment in, or the holding of assets in,
any jurisdiction,

including (in each case and without limitation) such damages,
costs, losses to any person, any diminution in value or any liability arising
as a result of: nationalisation, expropriation or other governmental actions;
any regulation, currency restriction, devaluation or fluctuation; market

of assets (including any Disruption Event); breakdown, failure or malfunction
of any third party transport, telecommunications, computer services or systems;
natural disasters or acts of God; war, terrorism, insurrection or revolution;
or strikes or industrial action.

(b)    No Party (other than the Agent) may take any proceedings against
any officer, employee or agent of the Agent in respect of any claim it might

officer, employee or agent in relation to any Finance Document and any officer,
employee or agent of the Agent may rely on this Clause 29.10 (Exclusion of
liability).

(c)    The Agent will not be liable for any delay (or any related
consequences) in crediting an account with an amount required under the Finance
Documents to be paid by the Agent if the Agent has taken all necessary steps as
soon as reasonably practicable to comply with the regulations or operating
procedures of any recognised clearing or settlement system used by the Agent
for that purpose.

(d)    Nothing in this Agreement shall oblige the Agent or the Arranger
to carry out:

(i)    any "know your customer" or other checks in relation to
any person; or

(ii)    any check on
the extent to which any transaction contemplated by this Agreement might be
unlawful for any Lender or for any Affiliate of any Lender,

on behalf of any Lender and each Lender confirms to the Agent and
the Arranger that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required
to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such
checks made by the Agent or the Arranger.

(e)    Without prejudice to any provision of any Finance Document
excluding or limiting the Agent's liability, any liability of the Agent arising
under or in connection with any Finance Document shall be limited to the amount
of actual loss which has been suffered (as determined by reference to the date
of default of the Agent or, if later, the date on which the loss arises as a
result of such default) but without reference to any

 

 152  

       

special conditions or
circumstances known to the Agent at any time which increase the amount of that
loss.  In no event shall the Agent be liable for any loss of profits, goodwill,
reputation, business opportunity or anticipated saving, or for special,
punitive, indirect or consequential damages, whether or not the Agent has been
advised of the possibility of such loss or damages.

29.11    Lenders' indemnity to the Agent

(a)    Each Lender shall (in proportion to its share of the Total
Commitments or, if the Total Commitments are then zero, to its share of the
Total Commitments immediately prior to their reduction to zero) indemnify the
Agent, within three Business Days of demand, against any cost, expense, loss or
liability incurred by the Agent (otherwise than by reason of the Agent's gross
negligence or wilful misconduct) in acting as Agent under the Finance Documents
(unless the Agent has been reimbursed by an Obligor pursuant to a Finance
Document).

(b)    A Lender's share will be the proportion of its share of the Total
Commitments or, if the Total Commitments are then zero, its share of the Total
Commitments immediately prior to their reduction to zero.  Where a Lender's
Commitment has been reduced to zero, but it has a participation in any
outstanding Utilisations, then for this purpose its Commitment will be taken to
be the aggregate amount of its participation (and the Total Commitments
calculated accordingly).

(c)    If any Lender fails to pay its share of any amount due under
paragraph (a) one or more other Lenders may pay all or part of that share to
the Agent.  In that case, the defaulting Lender must immediately pay each such
paying Lender the amount paid by that paying Lender together with interest
equal to the rate from time to time certified by the paying Lender to be its
cost of funds plus a margin of 2% per annum, compounding monthly.

(d)    If any Lender fails to provide its share of security to the Agent
when requested under Clause 29.7  (Rights
and discretions) one or more other Lenders may provide all or part of that
share on its behalf.  Where that security is cash the non providing Lender must
immediately pay each Lender that provided cash the amount provided by it
together with interest equal to its cost of funds plus a margin of 2% per
annum, compounding monthly.

29.12    Resignation of the Agent

(a)    The Agent may resign and appoint one of its Affiliates acting
through an office in Australia as successor by giving notice to the Lenders and
a Borrower.

(b)    Alternatively the Agent may resign by giving 30 days' notice to
the Lenders and a Borrower, in which case the Majority Lenders (after consultation
with a Borrower) may appoint a successor Agent.

(c)    If the Majority Lenders have not appointed a successor Agent in
accordance with paragraph (b) above within 20 days after notice of resignation
was given, the retiring Agent (after consultation with a Borrower) may appoint
a successor Agent (acting through an office in the same time zone as
Australia).

 

 

 153  

       

(d)    If the Agent
wishes to resign because (acting reasonably) it has concluded that it is no
longer appropriate for it to remain as agent and the Agent is entitled to
appoint a successor Agent under paragraph (c) above, the Agent may (if it
concludes (acting reasonably) that it is necessary to do so in order to
persuade the proposed successor Agent to become a party to this Agreement as
Agent) agree with the proposed successor Agent amendments to this Clause 29 (Role of the Agent, the Arranger, the Reference Banks)and any other term of this Agreement dealing with the rights or
obligations of the Agent consistent with then current market practice for the
appointment and protection of agents of syndicated financing transactions
together with any reasonable amendments to the agency fee payable under this
Agreement which are consistent with the successor Agent's normal fee rates and
those amendments will bind the Parties.

(e)    The retiring Agent shall make available to the successor Agent
such documents and records and provide such assistance as the successor Agent
may reasonably request for the purposes of performing its functions as Agent
under the Finance Documents. The Borrowers shall, within three Business Days of
demand, reimburse the retiring Agent for the amount of all costs and expenses
(including legal fees) properly incurred by it in making available such
documents and records and providing such assistance save for where the Agent is
a Defaulting Finance Party.

(f)    The Agent's resignation notice shall only take effect upon the
appointment of a successor.

(g)    Upon the appointment of a successor, the retiring Agent shall be
discharged from any further obligation in respect of the Finance Documents
(other than its obligations under paragraph (e) above) but shall remain
entitled to the benefit of this Clause 30 (Conduct of Business by the Finance
Parties) (and any agency fees for the account of the retiring Agent shall cease
to accrue from (and shall be payable on) that date).  Any successor and each of
the other Parties shall have the same rights and obligations amongst themselves
as they would have had if such successor had been an original Party.

(h)    After consultation with a Borrower, the Majority Lenders may, by
notice to the Agent, require it to resign in accordance with paragraph (b)
above.  In this event, the Agent shall resign in accordance with paragraph (b)
above (or, at any time the Agent is a Defaulting Finance Party, by giving any
shorter notice determined by the Majority Lenders).

(i)    The Agent shall resign in accordance with paragraph (b) above
(and, to the extent applicable, shall use reasonable endeavours to appoint a
successor Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) above) if on or after the date which
is three months before the earliest FATCA Application Date relating to any
payment to the Agent under the Finance Documents, either:

(i)    the Agent fails to respond to a request under Clause 14.8  (FATCA Information) and a Lender
reasonably believes that the Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a
FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date;

 

 

 154  

       

(ii)    the information supplied by the Agent pursuant to Clause 14.8 (FATCA
Information) indicates that the Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a
FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date; or

(iii)    the Agent
notifies a Borrower and the Lenders that the Agent will not be (or will have
ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date;

and (in each case) a Lender reasonably believes that a Party will
be required to make a FATCA Deduction that would not be required if the Agent
were a FATCA Exempt Party, and a Borrower or that Lender, by notice to the
Agent, requires it to resign.

29.13    Confidentiality

(a)    In acting as agent for the Finance Parties, the Agent shall be
regarded as acting through its agency division which shall be treated as a
separate entity from any other of its divisions or departments.

(b)    If information is received by another division or department of
the Agent, it may be treated as confidential to that division or department and
the Agent shall not be deemed to have notice of it.

information required to enable the sending and receipt of information by that
means (and, in each case, the department or officer, if any, for whose
attention communication is to be made) and be treated as a notification of a
substitute address, fax number, electronic mail address, department and officer
by that Lender for the purposes of Clause 35.2 (Addresses) and the Agent shall
be entitled to treat such person as the person entitled to receive all such
notices, communications, information and documents as though that person were
that Lender.

 

 

 155

rely on or receive instructions from any attorney acting on behalf of a Lender,
or any person acting on behalf of a Lender whose title or acting title includes
the word Manager, Head, Executive, Director or President or cognate

proceedings against any officer, employee or agent of any Reference Bank in

to any Finance Document, or to any Reference Bank Quotation.

(d)    Any officer, employee or agent of each Reference Bank may rely on

the Finance Documents that Party shall be regarded as having received any
amount so deducted.

31.    Sharing among the Finance Parties

31.1    Payments to Finance Parties

(a)    If a Finance Party (a "Recovering Finance Party")
receives or recovers (including by combination of accounts or set off) any
amount from an Obligor other than in accordance with Clause 33 (Payment Mechanics) and applies
that amount to a payment due under the Finance Documents then:

(i)    the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days,
notify details of the receipt or recovery to the Agent;

(ii)    the Agent
shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the
Recovering Finance Party would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been
received or made by the Agent and distributed in accordance with Clause 33 (Payment
Mechanics), without taking account of any Tax which would be imposed on the
Agent in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and

 

 

 157  

       

(iii)    the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days of
demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent an amount (the "Sharing Payment")
equal to such receipt or recovery less any amount which the Agent determines
may be retained by the Recovering Finance Party as its share of any payment to
be made, in accordance with Clause 33.6  (Partial
payments). 

(b)    Paragraph (a) above:

(i)    shall not apply to any amount received or recovered by the Issuing
Bank and applied by it towards any amount then payable to it by way of the
provision of cash cover (which has been provided to the Issuing Bank in
accordance with the Finance Documents) or otherwise in respect of a Bank
Guarantee at any time when receipts and recoveries by the Finance Parties are
sufficient to discharge all amounts then due and payable under the Finance
Documents; and

(ii)    shall apply
to any amount received or recovered by the Issuing Bank and applied by it
towards any amount then payable to it by way of the provision of cash cover or
otherwise in respect of a Bank Guarantee at any time when receipts and
recoveries by the Finance Parties are not sufficient to discharge all amounts
then due and payable under the Finance Documents; and

(iii)    shall not
apply to any application by the Issuing Bank under Clause 25.1 (Cash cover) of
cash cover which has been provided to the Issuing Bank in accordance with the
Finance Documents.

31.2    Redistribution of payments

The Agent shall treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been
paid by the relevant Obligor and distribute it between the Finance Parties
(other than the Recovering Finance Party) (the "Sharing Finance Parties")
in accordance with Clause 33.6  (Partial
payments) towards the obligations of that Obligor to the Sharing Finance
Parties.

31.3    Recovering Finance Party's rights

(a)    Unless paragraph (b) applies:

(i)    the receipt or recovery referred to in Clause 31.1  (Payments to Finance Parties) will be
taken to have been a payment for the account of the Agent and not to the
Recovering Finance Party for its own account, and the liability of the relevant
Obligor to the Recovering Finance Party will only be reduced to the extent of
any distribution retained by the Recovering Finance Party under Clause 31.1(a)(iii)  (Payments to Finance Parties);
and

(ii)    (without limiting sub-paragraph (i)) the relevant Obligor shall indemnify the
Recovering Finance Party against a payment under Clause 31.1(a)(iii)  (Payments to Finance Parties) to the extent
that (despite sub-paragraph (i)) its liability has been discharged by the
recovery or payment.

 

 

 158  

       

(b)    Where:

(i)    the amount referred to in Clause 31.1 
(Payments to Finance Parties) above was received or recovered otherwise
than by payment (for example, set off); and

(ii)    the relevant
Obligor, or the person from whom the receipt or recovery is made, is insolvent
at the time of the receipt or recovery, or at the time of the payment to the
Agent, or becomes insolvent as a result of the receipt or recovery,

then the following will apply so that the
Finance Parties have the same rights and obligations as if the money had been
paid by the relevant Obligor to the Agent for the account of the Finance
Parties and distributed accordingly:

(iii)    each other Finance Party will assign to the Recovering Finance
Party an amount of the debt owed by the relevant Obligor to that Finance Party
under the Finance Documents equal to the amount received by that Finance Party
under Clause 31.2  (Redistribution of
payments); 

(iv)    the Recovering Finance Party will be entitled to all rights
(including interest and voting rights) under the Finance Documents in respect
of the debt so assigned; and

(v)    that
assignment will take effect automatically on payment of the Sharing Payment by
the Agent to the other Finance Party.

31.4    Reversal of redistribution

If any part of the Sharing Payment received or recovered by
a Recovering Finance Party becomes repayable and is repaid by that Recovering
Finance Party, then:

(a)    each Sharing Finance Party shall, upon request of the Agent, pay
to the Agent for the account of that Recovering Finance Party an amount equal
to the appropriate part of its share of the Sharing Payment (together with an
amount as is necessary to reimburse that Recovering Finance Party for its
proportion of any interest on the Sharing Payment which that Recovering Finance
Party is required to pay) (the "Redistributed Amount"); 

(b)    as between the relevant Obligor and each relevant Sharing Finance
Party, an amount equal to the relevant Redistributed Amount will be treated as
not having been paid by that Obligor and the relevant Obligor shall indemnify
the Sharing Finance Party against a payment under sub-paragraph
(a) to the extent that the relevant
Obligor's liability has been discharged by the recovery or payment; and

(c)    to the extent necessary, any debt assigned under paragraph (b) of
Clause 31.3  (Recovering Finance Party's
rights) will be reassigned.

31.5    Exceptions

(a)    This Clause 31 (Sharing among
the Finance Parties) shall not apply to the
extent that the Recovering Finance Party would not, after making any payment
pursuant to this 

 

 

 

 159  

       

Clause 31 (Sharing among the Finance Parties), have a valid and enforceable claim (or right of proof in an
administration) against the relevant Obligor.

(b)    A Recovering Finance Party is not obliged to share with any other
Finance Party any amount which the Recovering Finance Party has received or
recovered as a result of taking legal or arbitration proceedings, if:

(i)    it notified that other Finance Party of the legal or arbitration
proceedings; and

(ii)    that other
Finance Party had an opportunity to participate in those legal or arbitration
proceedings but did not do so as soon as reasonably practicable having received
notice and did not take separate legal or arbitration proceedings.

in the place of payment.

(b)    Payment shall be made to such account:

(i)    in the case of Australian dollars, at the city of the Agent; or

33.2    Distributions by the Agent

Each payment received by the Agent under the Finance Documents
for another Party shall, subject to Clause 33.3 
(Distributions to an Obligor) and Clause 33.4

practicable after receipt to the Party entitled to receive payment in
accordance with this Agreement (in the case of a Lender, for the account of its
Facility Office), to such account as that Party may notify to the Agent by not
less than five Business Days' notice with a bank specified by that Party in

(a)    Where a sum is to be paid by a Party (the Payer) to the Agent
under the Finance Documents for another Party, the Agent is not obliged to pay
that sum to that other Party (or to enter into or perform any related exchange
contract) until it has been able to establish to its satisfaction that it has
actually received that sum.

(b)    Unless paragraph (c) below applies, if the Agent pays an amount to
another Party and it proves to be the case that the Agent had not actually
received that amount, then the Party to whom that amount (or the proceeds of
any related exchange contract) was 

 

 

 

 162  

       

paid by the Agent shall on demand
refund the same to the Agent together with interest on that amount from the
date of payment to the date of receipt by the Agent, calculated by the Agent to
reflect its cost of funds.

(c)    If the Agent has notified the Lenders that it] is willing to make
available amounts for the account of a Borrower before receiving funds from the

(i)    the Agent shall notify a Borrower of that Lender's identity and
the Borrower to whom that sum was made available shall on demand refund it to
the Agent; and

(ii)    the Lender by whom those funds should have been made available or,
if that Lender fails to do so, the Borrower to whom that sum was made
available, shall on demand pay to the Agent the amount (as certified by the
Agent) which will indemnify the Agent against any funding cost incurred by it
as a result of paying out that sum before receiving those funds from that
Lender.

(d)    The Payer will still remain liable to make the assumed payment,
but until the other Party does repay the Agent under paragraph (b), the Payer's
liability will be to the Agent in the Agent's own right.

pay that amount direct to the required payee or pay that amount to an
interest-bearing account held in the name of the payer and designated as a
trust account for the benefit of the payee or payees with an Acceptable Bank.

(b)    All interest accrued on the trust account will be for the benefit
of the beneficiaries of that trust account pro rata to their respective

which has made a payment to a trust account under paragraph (a) shall give all
requisite instructions to the bank to transfer the amount (together with any
accrued interest) to the successor Agent for distribution under Clause 33.2  (Distributions by the Agent). 

33.6    Partial payments

 163  

       

(i)    first, in or towards payment pro rata of any amounts payable but
unpaid in respect of fees, costs, expenses, losses or liabilities of the Agent
under the Finance Documents or the Security Trustee under the Finance
Documents;

(ii)    secondly, in or towards payment pro rata of all amounts (including
interest) payable by the Obligor to Lenders in respect of amounts or security

obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of business for the
purpose of the set-off.

misconduct.

35.8    Reliance

(a)    Any communication or document sent under this Clause 35 (Notices) can be relied on by the

document.

36.    Calculations and Certificates

36.1    Accounts

In any litigation or arbitration proceedings arising out of
or in connection with a Finance Document, the entries made in the accounts
maintained by a Finance Party are prima facie evidence of the matters to which
they relate.

 

 

 171  

       

36.2    Certificates and Determinations

Any certification or determination by a Finance Party of a
rate or amount under any Finance Document is, in the absence of manifest error,
conclusive evidence of the matters to which it relates.

36.3    Day count convention

Any interest, commission or fee accruing under a Finance
Document will accrue from day to day and is calculated on the basis of the
actual number of days elapsed and a year of 365 days or, in any case where the

practice.

If:

(a)    any Finance Party has at any time released or discharged:

(i)    an Obligor from its obligations under any Finance Document; or

(ii)    any assets of an Obligor from a Security,

in either case in reliance on a payment, receipt or other
transaction to or in favour of any Finance Party; or

(b)    any payment, receipt or other transaction to or in favour of any
Finance Party has the effect of releasing or discharging:

(i)    an Obligor from its obligations under any Finance Document; or

(ii)    any assets of an Obligor from a Security; and

(c)    that payment, receipt or other transaction is subsequently claimed
by any person to be void, voidable or capable of being set aside for any reason
(including under any law relating to insolvency, sequestration, liquidation,
winding up or bankruptcy and any provision of any agreement, arrangement or
scheme, formal or informal, relating to the administration of any of the assets
of any person); and

(d)    that claim is upheld or is conceded or compromised by a Finance
Party,

then:

(i)    each Finance Party will immediately become entitled against that
Obligor to all rights (including under any Finance Document) as it had
immediately before that release or discharge;

(ii)    that Obligor must, to the extent permitted by law:

(A)    immediately do all things and execute all documents as any Finance
Party may, acting reasonably, require to restore to each Finance Party all
those rights; and

 

 

 172  

       

(B)    indemnify each Finance Party against all costs and losses suffered
or incurred by it in or in connection with any negotiations or proceedings
relating to the claim or as a result of the upholding, concession or compromise
of the claim.

37.    Partial Invalidity

If, at any time, any provision of a Finance Document is or
becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under any law of any
jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining
provisions nor the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision under
the law of any other jurisdiction will in any way be affected or impaired.

38.    Remedies and Waivers

No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the
part of any Finance Party, any right or remedy under a Finance Document shall
operate as a waiver of any such right or remedy or constitute an election to
affirm any of the Finance Documents.  No election to affirm any Finance
Document on the part of any Finance Party shall be effective unless it is in
writing.  No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy shall prevent
any further or other exercise or the exercise of any other right or remedy. 
The rights and remedies provided in each Finance Document are cumulative and
not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

recalculation or republication is taken into account may be

40.    Instructions and Decisions

40.1    Abstentions

Lender will be deemed to have Commitments or a participation of zero if it has
so elected by notice to the Agent.

40.2    Transferees bound

A consent, approval, waiver, amendment or other decision by
a Lender or any instruction to the Agent by a Lender binds that Lender's
assigns and successors unless revoked under Clause 40.3 
(Limitations on revocation). 

40.3    Limitations on revocation

Any instructions, consent, approval, waiver, amendment or
other decision by the Majority Lenders may be revoked only by the Majority
Lenders, and may not be revoked if the decision has been acted upon.

40.4    Failure to respond

If any Lender fails to respond to a request for
instructions, consent, approval, waiver, amendment or other decision in relation to any
Finance Document  within 15 Business Days of that request (or any longer period

participation shall not be included for the purpose of calculating the Total
Commitments or participations under the relevant Facility when ascertaining
whether the Majority Lenders  have responded to that request.   

40.5    Disenfranchisement of Defaulting Finance Parties

For so long as a Defaulting Finance Party has any Available
Commitment, in ascertaining the Majority Lenders or whether any given

agreement of all Lenders or all of any specified group of Lenders has been
obtained in respect of any request for instructions, consent, approval, waiver,
amendment or other decision under the Finance Documents, that Defaulting
Finance Party's Commitments will be reduced by the amount of its Available
Commitments.

For the purposes of this Clause, the Agent may assume that
the following Lenders are Defaulting Finance Parties:

(a)    any Lender which has notified the Agent that it has become a
Defaulting Finance Party;

(b)    any Lender in relation to which the relevant officers of the Agent
having day to day conduct of its role are aware that any of the events or
circumstances referred to in the definition of "Defaulting Finance
Party" has occurred,

 

 

 176  

       

unless it has received notice to the contrary from the
Lender concerned (together with any supporting evidence reasonably requested by
the Agent) or the Agent is otherwise aware that the Lender has ceased to be a
Defaulting Finance Party.

40.6    Replacement of a Defaulting Finance Party

(a)    The Borrower may, at any time a Lender  has become and continues
to be a Defaulting Finance Party, by giving 5 Business Days' prior written

Defaulting Finance Party shall comply with the notice:

(i)    transfer all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(ii)    transfer all of the undrawn Facility A Commitment and Facility B
Commitment and Facility C Commitment (if any) of the Lender; or

(iii)    transfer all of its rights and obligations in respect of Facility
A and Facility B and Facility C (if any),

to a Lender or another bank, financial institution, or to a trust,
fund or other entity which is regularly engaged in or established for the

information.

provider.

41.4    Entire agreement

This Clause 41 (Confidentiality)

obligations of the Finance Parties under the Finance Documents regarding
Confidential Information and supersedes any previous agreement, whether express
or implied, regarding Confidential Information.

41.5    Inside information

Each of the Finance Parties acknowledges that some or all
of the Confidential Information is or may be price-sensitive information and
that the use of such information may be regulated or prohibited by applicable
legislation including securities law relating to insider dealing and market
abuse and each of the Finance Parties undertakes not to use any Confidential
Information for any unlawful purpose.

41.6    Notification of disclosure

Each of the Finance Parties agrees (to the extent permitted
by law and regulation) to inform a Borrower:

(a)    of the circumstances of any disclosure of Confidential Information

except where such disclosure is made to any of the persons referred to in that
paragraph during the ordinary course of its supervisory or regulatory function;
and

(b)    upon becoming aware that Confidential Information has been
disclosed in breach of this Clause 41 (Confidentiality).

41.7    Continuing obligations

The obligations in this Clause 41 (Confidentiality) are continuing and, in particular, shall survive and

earlier of:

 

 

 181  

       

(a)    the date on
which all amounts payable by the Obligors under or in connection with this
Agreement have been paid in full and all Commitments have been cancelled or
otherwise cease to be available; and

(b)    the date on which such Finance Party otherwise ceases to be a
Finance Party.

42.    PPSA Provisions

Where any Finance Party has a security interest (as defined
in the PPSA) under any Finance Document, to the extent the law permits:

(a)    for the purposes of sections 115(1) and 115(7) of the PPSA:

(i)    each Finance Party with the benefit of the security interest need
not comply with sections 95, 118, 121(4), 125,130, 132(3)(d) or 132(4)
of the PPSA; and

(ii)    sections 142 and 143 of the PPSA are excluded;

(b)    for the purposes of section 115(7) of the PPSA, each Finance Party
with the benefit of the security interest need not comply with sections 132 and
137(3);

(c)    each Party waives its right to receive from any Finance Party any
notice required under the PPSA (including a notice of a verification
statement);

(d)    if a Finance Party with the benefit of a security interest
exercises a right, power or remedy in connection with it, that exercise is
taken not to be an exercise of a right, power or remedy under the PPSA unless
the Finance Party states otherwise at the time of exercise.  However, this
Clause 42 does not apply to a right, power or remedy which can only be
exercised under the PPSA; and

(e)    if the PPSA is amended to permit the Parties to agree not to
comply with or to exclude other provisions of the PPSA, the Agent may notify a
Borrower and the Finance Parties that any of these provisions is excluded, or
that the Finance Parties need not comply with any of these provisions.

This does
not affect any rights a person has or would have other than by reason of the
PPSA and applies despite any other Clause in any Finance Document.

43.    Confidentiality of Funding Rates and
Reference Bank Quotations

43.1    Confidentiality and disclosure

(a)    The Agent and each Obligor agree to keep each Funding Rate (and,

and (d) below.

(b)    The Agent may disclose:

(i)    any Funding Rate (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, any
Reference Bank Quotation) to the relevant Borrower pursuant to Clause 10.4  (Notification of rates of interest); and

 

 

 182  

       

(ii)    any Funding Rate or any Reference Bank Quotation to any person
appointed by it to provide administration services in respect of one or more of
the Finance Documents to the extent necessary to enable such service provider
to provide those services if the service provider to whom that information is
to be given has entered into a confidentiality agreement substantially in the
form of the LMA Master Confidentiality Undertaking for Use With
Administration/Settlement Service Providers or such other form of
confidentiality undertaking agreed between the Agent and the relevant Lender or
Reference Bank, as the case may be.

(c)    The Agent may disclose any Funding Rate or any Reference Bank
Quotation, and each Obligor may disclose any Funding Rate, to:

(i)    any of its Affiliates and any of its or their officers, directors,
employees, professional advisers, auditors, partners and Representatives if any
person to whom that Funding Rate or Reference Bank Quotation is to be given
pursuant to this paragraph (i) is informed in writing of its confidential

be no such requirement to so inform if the recipient is subject to professional
obligations to maintain the confidentiality of that Funding Rate or Reference
Bank Quotation or is otherwise bound by requirements of confidentiality in
relation to it;

(ii)    any person to whom information is required or requested to be
disclosed by any court of competent jurisdiction or any governmental, banking,

informed in writing of its confidential nature and that it may be
price-sensitive information except that there shall be no requirement to so
inform if, in the opinion of the Agent or the relevant Obligor, as the case may
be, it is not practicable to do so in the circumstances;

(iii)    any person to whom information is required to be disclosed in
connection with, and for the purposes of, any litigation, arbitration,
administrative or other investigations, proceedings or disputes if the person
to whom that Funding Rate or Reference Bank Quotation is to be given is informed
in writing of its confidential nature and that it may be price-sensitive
information except that there shall be no requirement to so inform if, in the
opinion of the Agent or the relevant Obligor, as the case may be, it is not
practicable to do so in the circumstances; and

(iv)    any person with the consent of the relevant Lender or Reference
Bank, as the case may be.

(d)    The Agent's obligations in this Clause 43 (Confidentiality of Funding Rates and Reference Bank Quotations) relating to Reference Bank Quotations are without prejudice to
its obligations to make notifications under Clause 10.4 
(Notification of rates of interest) provided that (other than pursuant
to paragraph (b)(i) above) the 

 

 

 

 183  

       

Agent shall not include the
details of any individual Reference Bank Quotation as part of any such
notification.

43.2    Related obligations

(a)    The Agent and each Obligor acknowledge that each Funding Rate
(and, in the case of the Agent, each Reference Bank Quotation) is or may be
price-sensitive information and that its use may be regulated or prohibited by
applicable legislation including securities law relating to insider dealing and
market abuse and the Agent and each Obligor undertake not to use any Funding
Rate or, in the case of the Agent, any Reference Bank Quotation for any
unlawful purpose.

(b)    The Agent and each Obligor agree (to the extent permitted by law
and regulation) to inform the relevant Lender or Reference Bank, as the case
may be:

(i)    of the circumstances of any disclosure made pursuant to Clause 43.1(c)(ii)  (Confidentiality and disclosure)
above except where such disclosure is made to any of the persons referred to in
that paragraph during the ordinary course of its supervisory or regulatory function;
and

(ii)    upon becoming aware that any information has been disclosed in
breach of this Clause 43 (Confidentiality
of Funding Rates and Reference Bank Quotations).

43.3    No Event of Default

No Event of Default will occur under Clause 24.17 (Events
of Default) by reason only of an Obligor's failure to comply with this Clause
43 (Confidentiality of Funding
Rates and Reference Bank Quotations).

44.    Counterparts

Each Finance Document may be executed in any number of
counterparts, and this has the same effect as if the signatures on the
counterparts were on a single copy of the Finance Document.

45.    Indemnities and Reimbursement

All indemnities and reimbursement obligations (and any
other payment obligations of any Obligor) in each Finance Document are
continuing and survive termination of the Finance Document, repayment of the
Utilisations and cancellation or expiry of the Commitments.

46.    Acknowledgement

Except as expressly set out in the Finance Documents none
of the Asia Pacific Loan Market Association, the Finance Parties or any of
their advisers have given any representation or warranty or other assurance to
any Obligor in relation to the Finance Documents and the transactions they
contemplate, including as to tax or other effects.  The Obligors have not
relied on any of them or on any conduct (including any recommendation) by any
of them.  The Obligors have obtained their own tax and legal advice.

Coronado recognises that Stanwell needs to be informed in
advance of delivering Substitute Coal, including the forward delivery
schedule.  Coronado shall give at least 7 days' notice of any delivery of such
coal but Stanwell shall use its best endeavours to accept such coal on shorter
notice where it will suffer no material adverse effect in doing so.

3.8    Limit
of Amount of Substitute Coal

Notwithstanding any other
Clause, Coronado shall not have the right to deliver any Substitute Coal which
if delivered would cause the Substitute Coal to be delivered in any Year to
exceed 50% of the Annual Contract Tonnage for that Year.  

4.    Annual
Contract Tonnage, Rates of Delivery and Notification of Requirement

4.1    Annual
nominations

(a)    Not
later than the 30 June occurring prior to the commencement of each Year during
the Supply Term, Stanwell shall, by notice to Coronado:

(i)    nominate:

(A)    the
Annual Contract Tonnage for that Year which must be between [***] Tonnes
Equivalent and [***] Tonnes Equivalent (and pro rata for a part Year), and if
no such nomination is made for any Year, Stanwell shall be deemed to have
nominated 2 million Tonnes Equivalent;

(B)    in
respect of any Month during that Year, a quantity of the Annual Contract
Tonnage in Tonnes Equivalent (up to one twelfth of the Annual Contract Tonnage
for any Month), for which Stanwell elects to receive Cash in Lieu; and

(C)    the Nominated Contract Price per
GJ for each Month in that Year, which must be:

 

 

 Page | 15 

      

(I)    no
less than the Contract Price per GJ for that Month in that Year as set out in
the SRA Value Schedule multiplied by [***]; and

(II)    no more
than the Contract Price per GJ for that Month in that Year as set out in the
SRA Value Schedule multiplied by [***],

and if no such nomination is made
for any Year, Stanwell shall be deemed to have nominated the Contract Price per
GJ for each Month in that Year as set out in the SRA Value Schedule,

provided that the nomination must
not cause the Outstanding Value of the SRA to be less than zero;

(ii)    confirm
any additional Tonnes that have been postponed in accordance with Clause
12.4(c), Clause 13.4(c) or Clause 16 and that Coronado is obliged to deliver in
that Year pursuant to this Agreement;  

(iii)    propose
the Quarterly Tonnage for each Quarter of such Year; and

(iv)    indicate,
on a non-binding basis, the nominations of the Annual Contract Tonnage for each
Year, and Nominated Contract Price per GJ for each Month, of the Supply Term
after the Year for which the nominations in Clause 4.1(a)(i)(A) and
4.1(a)(i)(C) are made, in accordance with the SRA Value Schedule.

(b)    If
Stanwell fails to give a notice under Clause 4.1(a)(iii), or if Coronado
disagrees with the Quarterly Tonnages as proposed by Stanwell, then the
Quarterly Tonnages for each Quarter of the Year shall be one quarter of the
Annual Contract Tonnage.

(c)    If:

(i)    Stanwell
does not make a nomination by the 30 June that occurs immediately prior to the
commencement of the first Year of the Supply Term; and 

(ii)    either:

(A)    the
Supply Term commences; or

(B)    in the
reasonable opinion of Stanwell, the Supply Term is likely to commence before
Stanwell will be able to make a nomination, 

Stanwell shall promptly make a nomination in accordance
with Clause 4.1(a) for the period in respect of the first (and if applicable,
the second) Year in the Supply Term.

(d)    If there
is an interruption to the supply of Coal in the period between the date of
Stanwell’s nomination and 31 December of that Year, Stanwell may prior to 31
December revise its nomination of the Annual Contract Tonnage, by an amount
equal to the missed deliveries, provided that the revised nomination does not
exceed a total maximum of [***] million Tonnes Equivalent.  That revised
nomination of the Annual Contract Tonnage will be Stanwell’s nomination for the
purposes of Clause 4.1(a).  

(e)    For the
purposes of calculating the Cash Value of the SRA, where the Agreement will
terminate due to Coronado's default, Stanwell may (but is not obliged to) give
a revised nomination under this Clause 4.1, including the non-binding
nominations for each Year of the Supply Term under Clause 4.1(a)(iv).

(f)    If
the Supply Commencement Date occurs before the ACSA Final Delivery Date, in
respect of each Month from the Supply Commencement Date until the Month in
which the ACSA Final Delivery Date occurs, Stanwell must nominate one twelfth
of the Annual Contract Tonnage (pro rata for any part Month) as Cash in Lieu.

(g)    Notwithstanding
Clauses 4.1(a) through 4.1(f), either Coronado or Stanwell may at any time
propose any Annual Contract Tonnage and Quarterly Tonnage for the next Year. 
The other Party shall consider any such proposal but shall be under no
obligation to 

 

 

 Page | 16 

      

accept the same.  If the
Parties agree upon a different Annual Contract Tonnage and Quarterly Tonnage
that shall become the Annual Contract Tonnage and Quarterly Tonnage for the
periods concerned.

4.2    Monthly Deliveries

(a)    Coronado
shall give notice of its intended Monthly Tonnage for each Month during a
Quarter no later than 30 days before the commencement of that Quarter.  If
Stanwell disagrees with the Monthly Tonnages notified by Coronado, the Parties
will discuss the same in good faith with a view to agreeing upon Monthly
Tonnages that meet the requirements of both Coronado and Stanwell.

(b)    Failing
agreement, the Monthly Tonnages for the Quarter shall be approximately one
third of the Quarterly Tonnage.

4.3    Weekly
Deliveries

(a)    Coronado
shall give notice of its intended Weekly Tonnage for each week of each Month no
later than 7 days before the commencement of that Month.  If Stanwell disagrees
with the Weekly Tonnages notified by Coronado, the Parties will discuss the
same in good faith with a view to agreeing upon Weekly Tonnages that meet the
requirements of both Coronado and Stanwell.

(b)    Failing
agreement, the Weekly Tonnages for the Month shall provide for deliveries each
week of approximately one quarter of the Monthly Tonnage.

(c)    If
both Parties agree, any Weekly Tonnages may be changed to take into account
Coronado's planned exports of coal from the Tenements and Stanwell's other
planned purchases of coal for the Power Station.

4.4    Obligation to Deliver and Accept
Deliveries

Coronado shall deliver, and Stanwell shall take delivery
of, Coal at rates which meet the requirements of Clauses 4.1 to 4.3,
inclusive.  Coronado is not obliged to deliver any Coal in respect of which
Stanwell has elected to take Cash in Lieu.

4.5    Export election

Stanwell may elect not more than once in respect of any
Quarter, by giving notice to Coronado prior to the commencement of the Quarter,
to receive any quantity of Coal that Stanwell does not require at the Stanwell
Power Station and deal with it as it sees fit, including to export the Coal or
otherwise deal with the Coal (and if it does so, Stanwell may request Coronado,
to act as its agent to deal with the Coal at Stanwell’s cost, and Coronado may
accept or reject that request in its absolute discretion). Coronado must
deliver and Stanwell must take such Coal in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.

4.6    Specific Deliveries

Coronado shall make day to day arrangements regarding the
scheduling of trains directly with Stanwell's Carrier or Coronado's Carrier and
with designated personnel at the Power Station. 

5.    Coal Option

(a)    The
Parties must use their best endeavours to negotiate an agreement for an option
to purchase additional Coal (Coal Option) on terms substantially similar
to those set out in the letter from Garold
Spindler to Richard Van Breda dated 26 June 2019 (the Coal Option Letter)
by 30 September 2019 (Negotiation Deadline).  

(b)    If the
Parties have not executed and delivered the Coal Option by the Negotiation
Deadline;

(i)    the
Parties will be deemed to be in a dispute about the terms of the Coal Option (Coal
Option Dispute); 

 

 

 Page | 17 

      

(ii)    the
terms of Schedule 2 of the Deed will apply to the Coal Option Dispute on the
basis that, for the purposes of applying Schedule 2 of the Deed to the Coal
Option Dispute:

(A)    the
"New CSA" as defined in the Deed is read as the Coal Option;

(B)    a
"CSA Dispute" as defined in the Deed is read as the Coal Option
Dispute; 

(C)    the
"Guiding Principles" as defined in Schedule 2 of the Deed will be
read as being those parts of the Coal Option Letter relating to the agreement
of an option to purchase additional Coal; 

(D)    copies of
this Agreement and the Coal Option Letter must be provided to the
"Expert" (as defined in the Deed) for the purposes of clause 5.5 of
Schedule 2 of the Deed; 

(E)    clause
5.6(a)(ii) is deleted; and

(F)    such
other amendments as necessary are made to give effect to the terms of Schedule
2 of the Deed in respect of the Coal Option Dispute. 

6.    Delivery
Facilities/Title/Risk

(a)    Except where
Coronado is to arrange transport of Substitute Coal, Coal shall be delivered by
Coronado onto rail wagons at the Loading Plant, at Coronado's cost.

(b)    Subject
to reasonable maintenance requirements that have, where possible, been
previously notified by Coronado to Stanwell, Coronado shall deliver Coal at the
Curragh Mine Loading Plant at a rate of at least [***] Tonnes per hour and have
the Loading Plant available twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days a
week.

(c)    Where
Stanwell is to arrange the transportation of Substitute Coal, Coronado shall
deliver such Substitute Coal at a rate which forms the basis of the rail rates
agreed with Stanwell’s Carrier.  

(d)    Coronado
shall maintain adequate stockpiles of Coal to ensure continuity of deliveries
taking into account such contingencies as might reasonably be foreseeable to a
prudent mine operator.

(e)    Where
Stanwell is to arrange the transportation of Substitute Coal, Stanwell shall
ensure that sufficient rollingstock is available at the Loading Plant at no
cost to Coronado to allow Coronado to carry out its obligations hereunder.

(f)    Where
Stanwell is to arrange transport, delivery and acceptance of Coal shall be
deemed to have been made and taken, and risk and title shall pass to Stanwell,
when Coal from the Loading Plant is discharged onto rail wagons.

(g)    Where
Coronado is to arrange transport of Substitute Coal, delivery and acceptance of
that Coal shall be deemed to have been made and taken, and risk and title shall
pass to Stanwell, when the Coal is discharged from Coronado's Carrier's rail
wagons at the unloading facilities at the Power Station or such other
destination as Stanwell advises the Substitute Coal be delivered to in
accordance with Stanwell's rights under this Agreement.

(h)    Coronado will use its best
endeavours to comply with Schedule 2 and Schedule 3.

(i)    From time
to time, either Party may request renegotiation of the provisions of
Schedule 3 of this Agreement to reflect the provisions of its then
contract for rail haulage which includes the loading of Coal at the Curragh
Mine Loading Plant.  In such event the Parties will meet in good faith to
endeavour to agree upon revised terms which meet their respective needs.  If no
agreement is reached by the Parties to amend this Agreement, this Agreement
shall continue unchanged.

7.    Quality of Coal

7.1    Standard Coal Quality

(a)    The
Standard Coal Quality, which shall form the basis of price and price variations
for varying Coal quality, shall be:

	
   

  	
  Gross Calorific Value (as sampled):

  	
   

  	
  [***]GJ/t

  
	
   

  	
  Ash (at [***]% Total Moisture):

  	
   

  	
  [***]%

  
	
   

  	
  Total Moisture (as sampled):

  	
   

  	
  [***]%

  

 (b)    Coronado
will use its best endeavours to ensure that Coal supplied will generally meet
Standard Coal Quality.

(c)    If
Coal supplied by Coronado is of lesser quality than the Standard Coal Quality
over a period of two consecutive Months, Stanwell may request advice from
Coronado on the action, if any, Coronado proposes to take in an endeavour to
deliver Coal of Standard Coal Quality.

7.2    Limiting Specifications

(a)    If in
the reasonable opinion of Stanwell after consultation between the Parties
following a request under Clause 7.1(c) on the basis of previous deliveries and
any inspection under Clause 7.3(b), the quality of Coal delivered or likely to
be delivered hereunder at any time and from time to time does not meet any of
the following limiting Coal specifications (for the purpose of this Clause 7,
the "Limiting Specifications"):   

	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  Gross Calorific Value (as received)

  	
  [***]GJ/t

  	
  min

  
	
  Ash (at [***]% total moisture)

  	
  [***]%

  	
  max

  
	
  Total Moisture (as received)

  	
  [***]%

  	
  max

  
	
  Sulphur (at [***]% total moisture)

  	
  [***]%

  	
  max

  
	
  Slagging Index

  (0.8 x deformation temperature + 0.2 x hemisphere temperature
  (in reducing atmosphere))

  	
  [***]°

  	
  min

  
	
  Volatile Matter (as received)

  	
  [***]%

  	
  min

  

then Stanwell may by notice suspend
delivery of Coal hereunder from the time of giving such notice until Coronado
can demonstrate that the Coal ready for delivery is likely to meet all of the
Limiting Specifications (provided that for Coal used or intended to be used in
the Power Station, Stanwell may only give such notice if in Stanwell's
reasonable opinion the failure of such Coal to meet these Limiting
Specifications materially affects, or is likely to materially affect, the
normal operation of the Power Station).

(b)    Stanwell
shall furnish to Coronado, as soon as practicable after the giving of any
notice of suspension hereunder, a statement setting out the reasons for
Stanwell's decision to suspend deliveries, together with any relevant evidence
and a portion of the sample or samples tested where applicable.  Such a
suspension shall constitute an interruption to supply in terms of
Clause 12.

(c)    For
rejection purposes coal quality will be determined on a mine stockpile basis
and not on a train by train basis.

(d)    Coronado
shall use its best endeavours to ensure that Coal will meet the Limiting
Specifications.

 

 

 Page | 19 

      

(e)    If
Coronado is not able to demonstrate that the Coal ready for delivery is likely
to meet all of the Limiting Specifications as required in Clause 7.2(a) within
a reasonable period of time, then Clause 12 shall apply.

7.3    Quality Generally

(a)    Coronado
shall keep Stanwell informed on matters which may affect the quality of Coal.

(b)    Stanwell
may at any reasonable time, after the giving of a reasonable notice, inspect
Coronado's facilities and operations including Coronado's drilling and quality
control operations.

(c)    If
Coronado on an ongoing basis cannot meet the Slagging Index Limiting
Specification of [***]°C minimum, and Coronado so requests, Stanwell will meet
with Coronado to discuss whether it will be possible for Stanwell to accept
coal which does not meet that Limiting Specification over a particular period
of time and if so on what basis, but Stanwell shall not be obliged to agree to
accept such coal.  However Stanwell will act reasonably and in good faith in
considering such request.

(d)    Coronado
will use its best endeavours to ensure that based on representative sampling
from Coal quantities in excess of [***]Tonnes:

(i)    no more
than [***]% and if possible, no more than [***]% of Coal delivered hereunder
will pass through a [***] millimetre square mesh screen; and

(ii)    all coal
delivered hereunder will pass through a [***] millimetre square mesh screen.

(e)    Coronado
shall, so far as reasonably practicable, co-operate with Stanwell to minimise
any operational problems which may be experienced by Stanwell associated with:

(i)    the
handling of the Coal;

(ii)    extraneous
materials in the Coal at the time of delivery ("Extraneous Materials");
or

(iii)    other
undesirable properties of Coal at the time of delivery.  

(f)    Stanwell
may reject any delivery of Coal containing Extraneous Materials which are
likely, in Stanwell's reasonable opinion, to make the Coal unusable by
Stanwell.

8.    Quantity
and Quality Determination

8.1    Weight

The weight of Coal for payment purposes shall be
ascertained by the Trade Certified Weighbridge, or in the event of the Trade
Certified Weighbridge being unavailable or the Weighbridge not being Trade
Certified then:

(a)    subject
to any agreement that is made as contemplated in Clause 8.1(b), the weight of
Coal for payment purposes shall be the Nominal Net Weight; and

(b)    if
the Trade Certified Weighbridge is unavailable for more than 28 consecutive
days, or if the Weighbridge is not Trade Certified for more than 28 consecutive
days, the Parties will meet in good faith to discuss and seek to agree a
replacement method of determining the weight of Coal for payment purposes until
the Trade Certified Weighbridge is again available or the Weighbridge is Trade
Certified (as applicable).  Until any such agreement is reached, Clause 8.1(a)
will continue to apply.  Clause 17 will not apply to any failure of the Parties
to agree as contemplated in this Clause 8.1(b) except to the extent that if the
Parties fail to reach agreement where the Trade Certified Weighbridge is
unavailable for more than 365 consecutive days, or if the Weighbridge is not
Trade Certified for more than 365 consecutive days, either Party may refer the
matter for resolution to an Expert under Clause 17(h).

 

 

 Page | 20 

      

8.2    Sampling

(a)    All
sampling, sample preparation and analysis of Coal to determine the quality of
Coal delivered for the purpose of this Agreement shall be undertaken in
accordance with Australian Standards AS4264 and AS1038 unless otherwise
indicated or otherwise agreed from time to time.

(b)    The
automatic sampler which exists adjacent to the rail loadout bins situated at
the Loading Plant will be used to obtain samples representative of Coal
delivered by Coronado to rail wagons.  Analyses of the sample shall be carried
out at Stanwell's cost by Stanwell by an NATA registered laboratory agreed by
the Parties.  Coronado shall operate the automatic sampler ("Mine
Sampler") which exists adjacent to the rail loadout bins situated at
the Curragh Mine, and shall request the supplier of Substitute Coal to operate
the sampler adjacent to its rail loadout bins, to obtain samples representative
of Coal delivered by Coronado to rail wagons.  The Mine Sampler shall conform
to Australian Standard requirements.  Coronado shall provide the agreed NATA
registered laboratory with the sample representative of Coal delivered to rail
wagons.  Analysis of the sample shall be carried out by that agreed laboratory.

(c)    Coronado
must use its best endeavours to ensure that the Mine Sampler operates as
contemplated in this Clause 8 in respect of each train carrying Coal.  If the
Mine Sampler does not operate as contemplated in this Clause 8 in respect of a
train carrying Coal, a representative of Coronado must notify Stanwell or a
nominee appointed by Stanwell for the purpose of this Clause of that event
immediately by telephone and as soon thereafter as practicable by email. 

(d)    If the
Mine Sampler does not operate as contemplated in this Clause 8 in respect of a
train carrying Coal, then:

(i)    Stanwell
is entitled to, but shall not be obliged to, collect or arrange for its
representative to collect a sample of Coal when Coal is discharged from the
rail wagons at the Power Station unloading conveyor, and that sample shall be
taken to be a sample for every purpose under this Agreement as though taken by
the Mine Sampler under this Clause 8; or

(ii)    if
Stanwell or its representative does not collect a sample when Coal is
discharged from the rail wagons at the Power Station unloading conveyor, then
the quality of Coal that is delivered by the train from which a sample was not
taken shall be deemed to be equivalent to the average Gross Calorific Value (as
received), Ash (at standard total moisture) and Total Moisture (as received)
determined in respect of all other deliveries of Coal made under this Agreement
during the Month in question.

(e)    Not fewer
than three analysis sub-samples shall be prepared from each sample of Coal
taken in accordance with this Clause 8.  Stanwell shall retain one analysis
sub-sample for analysis and shall make one analysis sub-sample available to
Coronado if requested by Coronado (provided such request is made within five
(5) Business Days of notification by Stanwell of the results of the analysis of
such sample).  Stanwell shall seal and retain one analysis sub-sample for twelve
weeks for umpire analysis if required.

(f)    As
soon as practicable after taking the Coal sample Stanwell or Stanwell's
authorised representative shall determine the Total Moisture of the sample and
shall determine on an as-received basis Gross Calorific Value, Ash and Moisture
of the analysis sub-sample.  Analyses shall be determined in accordance with
the Standards listed in Clause 8.2(a) hereof.  The following Coal properties
representing the quality of Coal delivered shall be calculated from such
analyses:

Gross Calorific Value (as sampled)

Ash (at [***]% Total Moisture)

Total Moisture (as sampled)

 

 

 Page | 21 

      

Stanwell shall notify Coronado
of the quality of Coal for each sample determined accordingly, within seven (7)
days after sampling.

(g)    Coal
properties notified in accordance with Clause 8.2(f) for samples taken during
each Month shall be weight averaged on the basis of mass of individual Coal
consignments for that Month to obtain the Monthly average Coal properties to
determine the Monthly averaged Gross Calorific Value, Ash and Total Moisture
for determination of Coal quality price adjustment pursuant to Clause 10.

(h)    Ash and
Total Moisture shall be expressed to the nearest 0.10 percent (0.10%) in
individual analyses and averages thereof.  Should the calculated average fall
exactly midway between two such percentages, then the nearest even one-tenth of
a percent shall be accepted.  Gross Calorific Value shall be expressed to the
nearest 0.01 gigajoule per Tonne for individual analyses and averages thereof.

(i)    In the
event of a disagreement with the determination of any Coal properties apart
from Total Moisture, Coronado shall notify Stanwell within two weeks of
Stanwell's notification of such determination.  In that event, the third
portion of the appropriate sub-sample shall be delivered to a mutually agreed
independent laboratory for umpire analysis.  If the umpire analysis differs
from Stanwell's analysis by more than the limit of reproducibility between
laboratories, the umpire analysis shall be substituted for Stanwell's
determination for all purposes.  The costs incurred in carrying out any umpire
analysis shall be borne by Coronado unless the umpire analysis is adopted in
which latter case Stanwell shall bear the costs of the umpire analysis.

(j)    There
shall be no umpire analysis of Total Moisture, but Coronado shall be entitled
to satisfy itself that the Total Moisture is determined in accordance with this
Agreement, by nominating a representative to be present at Total Moisture
determination at Stanwell's or its authorised representative's laboratory. 
However if either Coronado or Stanwell is concerned that the sample may have been
contaminated with additional moisture then the Parties will in good faith meet
to discuss what Total Moisture should be used.

(k)    Stanwell
and Coronado shall be entitled without notice, subject to complying with all
laws and with all rules and requirements of the other Party to ensure safety
and good environmental practices, to inspect or check the weighing, sampling
and analysis facilities of the other Party or its authorised representative and
to have access for witnessing the weighing, sampling and analysis of Coal.  Coronado
shall ensure that its arrangements with suppliers of Substitute Coal permit
Stanwell to exercise similar rights in respect of those suppliers.

(l)    Prior to
each week during the Supply Term, Coronado shall provide to Stanwell
non-binding, indicative forecasts of Gross Calorific Value, Ash and Total
Moisture for Coal expected to be delivered in that week.

9.    Price
of Coal

(a)    The
Contract Price per Tonne Equivalent for each Month is to be determined in
accordance with the SRA Value Schedule.

(b)    The
"Invoice Price" for Coal delivered in any Month is the
Contract Price per Tonne Equivalent for the Month adjusted to reflect the
quality of the Coal delivered in that Month in accordance with Clause 10.

(c)    The
Contract Price per Tonne Equivalent for each Month will only vary in accordance
with the SRA Value Schedule and is inclusive of all costs.  The Contract Price
per Tonne Equivalent so determined shall apply throughout the Supply Term
irrespective of any change in Coronado's actual costs, the Curragh Mine's
viability or market prices.

(d)    Stanwell
will pay a royalty amount for each Month determined in accordance with
Clause 11.4.

10.    Variation for Quality

(a)    The
Invoice Price shall be the Contract Price per Tonne Equivalent adjusted for
variations in quality from the Standard Coal Quality Specification as set out
in this Clause 10.  Such quality shall be determined in accordance with
the provisions of Clause 8.

Adjustments will be made for variations from:

	
   

  	
  Gross
  Calorific Value (as sampled)

  	
   

  	
  [***]GJ/t

  
	
   

  	
  Ash (at
  [***]% Total Moisture)

  	
   

  	
  [***]%

  
	
   

  	
  Total
  Moisture (as sampled)

  	
   

  	
  [***]%

  

(b)    The
Invoice Price for any Month shall be calculated from the Contract Price per
Tonne Equivalent in accordance with the following formula:

IP        =         CP((GCV/[***])-(0.01(AC-[***]))-(0.015(AC1-[***]))-(0.01(MC-[***]))-
(0.03(MC1-[***])))

	
  Where:

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  IP

  	
  =

  	
  Invoice Price

  
	
  CP

  	
  =

  	
  Contract Price per Tonne Equivalent for
  that Month

  
	
  GCV

  	
  =

  	
  Weight averaged gross calorific value of
  Coal delivered in that Month determined in accordance with Clause 8

  
	
  AC

  	
  =

  	
  Weight averaged ash content of coal
  delivered in that Month determined in accordance with Clause 8 or [***]%
  whichever is the greater.

  
	
  AC1

  	
  =

  	
  AC or [***]% whichever is the greater

  
	
  MC

  	
  =

  	
  Weight averaged moisture content of coal
  delivered in that Month determined in accordance with Clause 8 or [***]%
  whichever is greater

  
	
  MC1

  	
  =

  	
  MC or [***]% whichever is the greater

  

11.    Payment  

11.1    Monthly
payment

In respect of each Month during the Supply Term, Stanwell
must pay to Coronado, or Coronado must pay to Stanwell, as the case may be:

(a)    the
amount payable for the Coal delivered in the Month as determined in accordance
with Clause 11.2;  

(b)    the
amount payable for the Derived Amount for the Month as determined in accordance
with Clause 11.3;

(c)    if
Stanwell has made an election for the payment of Cash in Lieu in respect of the
Month, the amount of the Cash in Lieu for the Month in accordance with Clause
11.3;

(d)    the
royalty amount payable in respect of the Coal delivered in the Month as
determined in accordance with Clause 11.4;

(e)    any Rail
Energy Payment pursuant to Clause 11.5;

(f)    any
amount payable in respect of GST pursuant to Clause 11.6; 

(g)    any
Transport Cost payable pursuant to Clause 3.6; and

 

 

 Page | 23 

      

(h)    any
amount payable in respect of any interruptions to supply that are not Causes
Outside the Control of Coronado pursuant to Clause 12.

Payment for the amounts payable under Clause 11.1(a)
and (b) will be satisfied in each Month by Stanwell paying the Netback Amount
less the Derived Amount to Coronado, which is an amount equivalent to the
amount determined as the Invoice Price x Tonnes Delivered. 

11.2    Payment
for Coal

In respect of each Month during the Supply Term, Stanwell
shall pay to Coronado the Netback Amount for the aggregate quantities of Coal
delivered in that Month. The "Netback Amount" for the Month is
to be determined as: 

Netback Amount = [Netback Price x Monthly Tonnage (SRA
Value Schedule)] + [(Invoice Price x Tonnes Delivered) – (Contract Price per
Tonne Equivalent x Monthly Tonnage (SRA Value Schedule))] 

where "Tonnes Delivered" is the sum of the
quantities delivered in that Month as ascertained in accordance with Clause 8.

11.3    Derived
Amount and Cash in Lieu

In respect of each Month during the Supply Term, Coronado
shall pay to Stanwell:

(a)    the
Derived Amount for the Month; and

(b)    the Cash
in Lieu for the Month.

The Derived Amount and the Cash in
Lieu are to be determined for each Month in accordance with the SRA Value
Schedule.

11.4    Royalty
amount

In respect of each Month during
the Supply Term, Stanwell shall pay a
royalty amount for the aggregate quantities of Coal delivered in the Month
during the Supply Term calculated in accordance with the following expression:

Royalty Payable        =        [(Invoice
Price x (7/93 +1) x 0.07) x Tonnes Delivered]

11.5    Rail
Energy Payment

Stanwell shall pay to Coronado (or Coronado shall pay to
Stanwell if the amount is negative) each Month, on an interim basis, an Interim
Rail Energy Payment on Coal delivered for each Month calculated as follows:

	
   

  	
   

  
	
  Interim Monthly Rail Energy Payment

  	
  =         CC Interim Monthly Rate x 0.5[(GCV/[***]) – 1]
  x Tonnes Delivered

  

At the end of each Year, and as soon as the information
becomes available, Stanwell shall recalculate each Interim Monthly Rail Energy
Payment for each Month of that Year as if each payment had been calculated and
paid using the CC Final Monthly Rate and not the CC Interim Monthly Rate
("Final Monthly Rail Energy Payment").  Stanwell shall provide
an invoice (with such supporting documentation as Coronado may reasonably
require) to Coronado setting out the total of the Interim Monthly Rail Energy
Payments paid by each of Coronado and Stanwell for that Year; the total of the
Final Monthly Rail Energy Payments; and the amounts payable by each Party had
the Monthly payments been made for that Year based on the applicable Final
Monthly Rail Energy Payment. Any payment by Coronado or Stanwell shall be made
within 14 days of the invoice being received as contemplated in Clause
11.9(c).  

In this Clause 11.5:

 

 

 Page | 24 

      

"CC Interim Monthly
Rate" means the amount, in $/Tonne, equal to Stanwell's Carrier's rail
rate applying at the time, taking into account Stanwell's best estimate of all
available rail performance Freight Incentives and Corridor Improvement
Incentives, for the transport of Coal from the Curragh Mine Loading Plant to
the unloading facilities at the Power Station.

"CC Final Monthly Rate" means the amount,
in $/Tonne, equal to Stanwell's Carrier's rail rate applying at the time, taking
into account all rail performance Freight Incentives and Corridor Improvement
Incentives actually received, for the transport of Coal from the Curragh Mine
Loading Plant to the unloading facilities at the Power Station.

"Freight Incentives" means rail
performance incentives that are available and which actually apply to
Stanwell's Carrier's rail rate at the relevant time.

"Corridor Improvement Incentives" means
rail corridor incentives available to rail users at the relevant time.

"GCV" has the meaning given to that term
in Clause 10(b).

"Tonnes Delivered"
means, for the relevant period, the sum of the quantities delivered during that
period as ascertained in accordance with Clause 8.

11.6    GST

For the purposes of this Agreement,

(a)    It is agreed:

(i)    all
amounts expressed or determined to be payable by any Party to another under
this Agreement are calculated and will be determined exclusive of GST;
and

(ii)    any part
of a supply that is treated as a separate supply for GST purposes (including
attributing GST payable to tax periods) will be treated as a separate supply
for the purposes of this Clause 11.6.

(b)    If
any payment required to be made by one Party to another under this Agreement is
a payment for a taxable supply for the purposes of the GST Act, the amount
payable is the amount derived by multiplying the original amount payable by the
formula [1 + (the decimal expression of the GST rate imposed under the GST
Act)].

(c)    If any
Party is required to reimburse another for an amount paid or payable for a
taxable supply by a third party for which that Party is entitled to claim an
input tax credit, the amount required to be reimbursed will be reduced by the amount of the credit.

(d)    The
obligation to pay any additional amount under this Clause 11.6 is subject to
the Party receiving the payment providing to the other Party in accordance with
the requirements of the GST Act a tax invoice for each payment.  

(e)    Payment of the GST
shall be made at the same time as the first payment for the relevant taxable
supply is required to be made provided the Party receiving the payment has
issued a tax invoice or adjustment note (as required) to the other Party.

(f)    If a payment is calculated
by reference to or as a specified percentage of another amount or revenue
stream, that payment will be calculated by reference to or as a specified
percentage of the amount or revenue stream exclusive of GST.

(g)    If the amount of GST paid or
payable by any Party in respect of a taxable supply made under this Agreement
differs from the amount of GST paid by that Party by reason of the Australian
Commissioner of Taxation lawfully adjusting the amount of GST payable, then the
amount of GST paid shall be adjusted accordingly, by a further payment by one
Party to the other as the case requires.

(h)    To
the extent that consideration for any supply by, under or in connection with
this Agreement includes non-monetary consideration:

 

 

 Page | 25 

      

(i)    the
Parties agree to act in good faith in determining the GST-inclusive market
value of the non-monetary consideration provided for the supply;

(ii)    the tax
invoice for the supply must state the GST-inclusive market value of the
non-monetary consideration provided for the supply; 

(iii)    subject
to the
Parties exchanging tax invoices during the same Month, the Parties will allow
for the Parties’ respective payments of GST under this Agreement to be offset;
and

(iv)    to
the extent the respective payments of GST under Clause 11.6(h)(iii) are not
equal, the difference must be paid as a monetary payment, in addition to and at
the same time that the GST-exclusive consideration for the supply is payable or
to be provided under this Agreement.

(i)    If an
adjustment of GST is required as a result of an adjustment event in respect of
a supply made pursuant to this Agreement, then:

(i)    a
corresponding adjustment of GST payable under this Agreement must be made
between the Parties within 21 days after the end of the tax period in which the
adjustment is attributable; and

(ii)    if
obliged to do so under the GST Act, the supplier must issue an adjustment note
within 21 days after the end of the tax period in which the adjustment is
attributable. 

(j)    In relation to the taxable supply of Stanwell's termination
of the Reversion Deed and deletion of clause 2.9 of the ACSA for which the
Derived Amount and Cash in Lieu are consideration, Clauses 11.6(e) and
11.6(h)(iv) are modified so that the payment of the amount on account of GST in
accordance with Clause 11.6(b) must be made by Coronado to Stanwell by the last
available lodgement date of Stanwell’s ‘Business Activity Statement’ for the
Month in which the tax invoice was issued.  For the purposes of facilitating
Coronado's compliance with this Clause, Stanwell notifies Coronado that it has
monthly tax periods.  GST payments made by Coronado to Stanwell after the
required date will incur an interest charge (payable by Coronado to Stanwell)
equal to the one month Australian Bank Bill Swap Rate displayed on page BBSW of
the Thomson Reuters screen (or any replacement page which displays that rate),
plus [***]% p.a.

(k)    If the
Australian Taxation Office determines that Coronado made a taxable supply in
relation to Coronado’s supply referred to in Clause 11.6(j) for which
Stanwell's termination of the Reversion Deed and deletion of clause 2.9 of the
ACSA is consideration, Clauses 11.6(e) and 11.6(h)(iv) are modified so that the
payment of the amount on account of GST in accordance with Clause 11.6(b) must
be made by Stanwell to Coronado by the last available lodgement date of
Coronado’s ‘Business Activity Statement’ for the Month in which the tax invoice
was issued.  For the purposes of facilitating Stanwell's compliance with this
Clause, Coronado notifies Stanwell that it has monthly tax periods.  GST
payments made by Stanwell to Coronado after the required date will incur an
interest charge (payable by Stanwell to Coronado) equal to the one month
Australian Bank Bill Swap Rate displayed on page BBSW of the Thomson Reuters
screen (or any replacement page which displays that rate), plus [***]% p.a.

11.7    Invoicing

(a)    Coronado
shall submit to Stanwell as soon as practicable after the end of each Month an
invoice for all amounts payable by the Parties pursuant to this Clause 11 in
respect of that Month, except for the supply referred to in Clause 11.7(b)(ii)
below.  Each invoice shall be accompanied by a statement showing in detail the
calculations used to determine all amounts payable.  

(b)    The
Parties acknowledge that, subject to any subsequent agreement to issue
recipient created tax invoices, in accordance with Clause 11.6(d) of this
Agreement:

 

 

 Page | 26 

      

(i)    Coronado
will issue tax invoices to Stanwell for its taxable supplies under and in
connection with this Agreement (including for the taxable supply of Coal); and

(ii)    Stanwell
will issue tax invoices to Coronado for the taxable supply for which the
Derived Amount and Cash in Lieu are consideration.   

11.8    Set-Off

Except in respect of the netting of the Netback Amount and
Derived Amount in accordance with Clause 11.1 and any set-off permitted in
accordance with Clause 25.9(b), neither Party shall be entitled to set-off
against any amounts payable by it to the other Party pursuant to this
Agreement, any amounts payable by the other Party to it pursuant to this
Agreement or otherwise.

11.9    Payment/Adjustments

(a)    If
an amount is payable by Stanwell to Coronado, Stanwell shall pay such invoices
to a bank account nominated by Coronado by the 15th day of the Month in which the invoice
is submitted or within seven (7) days of receipt of the invoice, whichever is
the later date.

(b)    If an
amount is payable by Coronado to Stanwell, Coronado shall pay such invoices to
a bank account nominated by Stanwell by the 15th day of the Month in which the
invoice is submitted or within seven (7) days of receipt of the invoice,
whichever is the later date.

(c)    Where
appropriate, an adjustment will be made between the Parties for any charge
which has been levied on an interim basis within 14 days of the final amount
being determined.

(d)    If after
reasonable consultation with Coronado, Stanwell is of the reasonable opinion
the amount of any invoice rendered pursuant to this Clause 11 exceeds the
amount actually owing by Stanwell, Stanwell may withhold payment of 50% of the
difference, and pay:

(i)    the other
50% of the difference; plus

(ii)    the
amount of GST payable by Coronado on the full amount of the invoice; plus

(iii)    all
other undisputed amounts in accordance with Clause 11.9(a).

In the event of such withholding, Stanwell shall by the due
date of payment notify Coronado of the reasons for its opinion in reasonable
detail.  Withholding as aforesaid shall be deemed to be a dispute which shall
be resolved in accordance with Clause 17.  Stanwell shall pay the amount
withheld to the extent the dispute mechanism determines it is payable within 7
days of that determination.

12.    Interruption
to Supply

12.1    Stable Supply as Fundamental
Condition

(a)    Coronado
expressly acknowledges that, without derogating from the provisions of this
Agreement providing for termination and suspension, it is a fundamental
expectation of Stanwell that this Agreement will provide Stanwell with a stable
supply of Coal (complying with the quality characteristics provided in this
Agreement) for use in the Power Station and that it was on the basis of
Coronado's representations of its ability to provide such stable supply as
specified herein that Stanwell agreed to enter this Agreement with Coronado.

(b)    Irrespective
of the allocation of risk for failure to supply the Coal under this Agreement,
Coronado shall endeavour to avoid and minimise any interruptions to supply.

 

 

 Page | 27 

      

(c)    Coronado will not enter into a contract
under which Coronado is obliged to supply Coal to a customer in priority to supplying Coal
to Stanwell.

(d)    Clauses
12.2 to 12.7, inclusive shall apply in the event deliveries of Coal are not
tendered in full by Coronado hereunder on the due date or such non-tendering is
threatened as provided hereunder, irrespective of the cause, except where the
cause is the breach by Stanwell of its obligations hereunder or the non-taking
by Stanwell of such Coal.

12.2    Coronado
to Give Notices and Reports

(a)    Coronado
shall give notice ("Interruption Notice") to Stanwell promptly
upon the occurrence of any event which interrupts or is reasonably likely to interrupt the supply
of Coal by Coronado in accordance with this Agreement.

(b)    As
soon as practicable thereafter, Coronado shall give a report to Stanwell
covering the following matters to the best of Coronado's knowledge at the time of giving
the report:

(i)    the nature of the interruption
or threatened interruption;

(ii)    the circumstances and cause of
the same;

(iii)    whether
Coronado considers the event to be outside the control of Coronado;

(iv)    the likely duration of the
interruption;

(v)    Coronado's
revised delivery plan for Coal at the time of giving the report; and

(vi)    details
of the efforts that have been made and are planned by Coronado to avoid or
minimise the interruption and the effects thereof on Coronado's performance
under this Agreement.

(c)    So long
as the interruption continues or continues to threaten, Coronado shall furnish
Stanwell with further reports covering the matters listed in Clause 12.2(b):

(i)    whenever there is any material
change in the circumstances as set out in the last report; and

(ii)    in any
event no less than Monthly.

(d)    Coronado shall notify
Stanwell immediately when the interruption of supply of Coal ends.

12.3    Counter-Measures
by Stanwell

(a)    Stanwell
shall be entitled to take reasonable action to avoid or mitigate the effects of
the interruption or threatened interruption of supply of Coal, without prejudicing
such rights as Stanwell may have under this Agreement with respect to such
interruption.  In particular but without limitation, Stanwell shall be entitled
to take the following actions if the interruption to supply continues, or in
the reasonable opinion of Stanwell after consulting with Coronado is likely to
continue, for more than:

(i)    thirty
(30) days, then Stanwell may, at its discretion in accordance with
Clause 12.4(a):

(A)    subject
to Clause 12.4(c) postpone the affected deliveries, until any subsequent Year
or Years of the Supply Term; or

(B)    without
penalty to Stanwell cancel the relevant deliveries and purchase other coal;

(ii)    ninety
(90) days, then Stanwell may, at its discretion in accordance with
Clause 12.4(a), enter Medium Term Arrangements for the purchase of other
coal to cover the tonnage of coal which is in Stanwell's reasonable view,
likely to be affected by the interruption in which case Stanwell, in addition
to its rights under Clause 12.3(a)(i) above, may at its discretion cancel the
shipments 

 

 

 Page | 28 

      

covered by the Medium Term
Arrangements or postpone, subject to Clause 12.4(c), the same to any subsequent
Year or Years; and

(iii)    fifteen
(15) Months, and actually result in Stanwell receiving less than [***]% of the
Coal it is entitled to receive under this Agreement during those fifteen (15)
Months, then Stanwell may, in addition to its rights described in Clauses
12.3(a)(i) and (ii) above, upon notice to Coronado terminate this Agreement
provided such notice is given within seven (7) days of the end of that fifteen
(15) Month period.  Any notice given pursuant to this clause shall state the
effective date of such termination.

(b)    In the
event Coronado becomes able to recommence performance in accordance with this
Agreement during the period of any suspension under Clause 12.3(a)(ii),
Coronado shall give Stanwell not less than ninety (90) days' notice thereof in
which event, upon termination of its Medium Term Arrangements, Coronado shall
recommence making and Stanwell shall recommence taking Coal deliveries under
this Agreement.

(c)    Before
taking any reasonable action under Clause 12.3(a), Stanwell shall inform
Coronado of its proposed action.  Coronado may, within 5 days, make
representations to Stanwell as to the appropriateness of the proposed action, taking into account among other
things, the likelihood of the interruption occurring and its likely duration.  In
determining what reasonable action to take under Clause 12.3(a), Stanwell shall
take those representations into account.

12.4    Stanwell’s Elections

(a)    Stanwell
may make the elections provided in Clause 12.3(a) by giving notice to Coronado
at any time prior to the recommencement of Coronado's performance after
interruption or suspension of this Agreement.

(b)    If
Stanwell elects to cancel deliveries in accordance with Clause 12.3 the
cancelled deliveries of Coal will not be treated as delivered for the purposes
of the SRA Value Schedule and any cancellation will not prejudice Stanwell's
entitlement to achieve the Outstanding Value of the SRA under this Agreement.

(c)    If Stanwell elects to treat the
affected deliveries as postponed, then the same shall be postponed until such
subsequent Years as may be nominated by Stanwell in the notice of election
given under Clause 12.4(a) provided that unless Coronado agrees, the postponed
deliveries to be delivered in any Year shall not exceed [***] percent ([***]%)
of the Annual Contract Tonnage nominated by Stanwell in accordance with Clause
4.1(a)(i) for that Year.   

(d)    If
Stanwell elects to enter into Medium Term Arrangements and Coronado gives
Stanwell notice of resumption of deliveries Stanwell shall use its best endeavours to
terminate the Medium Term Arrangements (without being required to breach the
same) such that it is able to take the deliveries when nominated by Coronado.

(e)    If the
interruption to making deliveries is only partial or if Coronado is able to
recommence partial deliveries only and such partial deliveries are in
Stanwell's reasonable view likely to result in Stanwell receiving less than
[***]% of the total Coal it is entitled to receive under this Agreement over
the succeeding 90 days, Stanwell shall have the option of not accepting any
deliveries, in which case the provisions of this Clause 12 shall apply as if no
deliveries were possible, or of accepting such deliveries as can be made, in
which case this Clause shall apply to the portion of deliveries that cannot be
made.

12.5    Causes
Outside the Control of Coronado

(a)    For
the purposes of Clauses 12.7(b) and 12.7(c), an interruption to supply of Coal
shall be considered to be a "Cause Outside the Control of Coronado"
only if the following conditions are met:

 

 

 Page | 29 

      

(i)    the
cause of the interruption was not reasonably foreseeable and was beyond
Coronado's reasonable control;

(ii)    the
interruption could not have been avoided or overcome by a prudent coal mine operator
exercising due diligence;

(iii)    Coronado
has substantially given the notices and reports required under Clause 12.2;

(iv)    any
relevant requirements of Clause 12.5(b) are satisfied;

(v)    if the
Coal is Substitute Coal, the requirements of Clause 12.6 are satisfied; and

(vi)    Coronado
allocates its available coal to Stanwell on a basis which is no less favourable
than to Coronado's other customers.

(b)    The
following provisions shall apply with respect to the particular causes
enumerated:

(i)    Interruptions
due to breakdowns of machinery will only be considered to be beyond Coronado's
reasonable control if Coronado has followed proper maintenance procedures and
has in place proper "breakdown" procedures which anticipate normally
foreseeable breakdowns and minimise the consequences.

(ii)    Interruptions
due to failure of supply of goods and services, including shipping and other
transportation, electric power and water, will only be considered to be beyond
Coronado's reasonable control if Coronado has exercised due prudence in the
choice of the supplier and has entered proper contractual arrangements.

(iii)    Interruptions
due to shortage of reserves, geology, mining conditions, reduction in export
demand or increases in costs, however unexpected, will not be considered to be
beyond Coronado's reasonable control.

(c)    Where
Coronado is entitled to recover damages from a third party supplier of goods or
services, it shall use its best endeavours to do so (to the extent that a
prudent operator and investor would do so) and the cause concerned (to the
extent it otherwise qualifies under this Clause 12.5) will only be considered
to be a Cause Outside the Control of Coronado to the extent such damages
recovered by Coronado are insufficient to pay to Stanwell the amounts payable
under Clause 12.7(c).

(d)    Without
limitation the following are examples of events that could lead to
interruption to the supply of Coal beyond Coronado's control if the
requirements of Clauses 12.5(a) and 12.5(b) are met:

(i)    natural calamities, acts of
public enemies, acts of terrorists, insurrections, fires, wars, explosions,
floods;

(ii)    serious breakdowns of railroad
or port facilities;

(iii)    breakdowns of mining plant and
equipment and other machinery;

(iv)    embargoes,
orders or acts of a competent court or governmental or other statutory
authority;

(v)    strike, lockouts, illegal
stoppages, or labour or union organised reduction of production; and

(vi)    failure
of supply of goods and services, including Coronado's Carrier failing to make
sufficient rollingstock available at the Loading Plant at a mine to transport
Substitute Coal.

 

 

 Page | 30 

      

12.6    Causes
Outside the Control of Coronado in case of Substitute Coal  

Where
the interruption to supply affects Coal which is Substitute Coal, the
interruption to supply shall not be considered to result from a Cause Outside
the Control of Coronado unless the requirements of Clause 12.5(a) are satisfied
(a "Qualifying Cause") and either:

(a)    coal supplies in the area in
Queensland north of latitude 24 degrees south are generally interrupted by the
same cause; or

(b)    the
Substitute Coal has been or is to be delivered to the Curragh Mine for delivery
to Stanwell through the Curragh Mine Loading Plant and either:

(i)    the
Qualifying Cause prevents the Substitute Coal from being delivered to the
Curragh Mine Loading Plant; or

(ii)    the
Qualifying Cause occurs after such delivery. 

12.7    Consequences
of Interruption

(a)    Both
Coronado and Stanwell shall endeavour to mitigate costs and damages flowing
from any interruption to the supply of Coal.

(b)    If
the cause of the interruption to supply is a Cause Outside the Control of
Coronado, then Coronado shall be relieved of its obligation to make such deliveries at such time to
the extent the making is prevented by such cause, without derogating from
Coronado's other obligations hereunder.

(c)    Subject to Clause 22.6, if
the cause of the interruption to supply is not a Cause Outside the Control of
Coronado, then in addition to such other rights as Stanwell may have under this
Agreement, Stanwell shall be entitled to indemnification from Coronado for all
of Stanwell's costs and damages resulting from the interruption, including
additional costs in obtaining make up coal and the Derived Amount that would
have been attributable to such coal had it been delivered by Coronado. 
Stanwell will use reasonable endeavours to mitigate all such costs and damages.

(d)    If
Clause 12.7(c) applies, and Stanwell obtains make up coal and Coronado
indemnifies Stanwell in accordance with Clause 12.7(c) for all of
Stanwell's costs and damages resulting from the interruption, the Tonnes Equivalent of such
make up coal will be treated as having been delivered for the purposes of the
Monthly Tonnage (SRA Value Schedule).

13.    Interruption to Taking of
Deliveries

13.1    Stable Demand as Fundamental
Condition

(a)    Stanwell
expressly acknowledges that, without derogating from the provisions of this
Agreement providing for termination and suspension, it is a fundamental
expectation of Coronado that this Agreement will provide Coronado with a stable
demand for Annual Contract Tonnage and that it was on the basis of Stanwell's representations
of its ability to provide such stable demand as specified herein that Coronado
agreed to enter this Agreement with Stanwell.  

(b)    Irrespective
of the allocation of risk for failure to take Coal under this Agreement,
Stanwell shall endeavour to avoid and minimise any interruptions to the taking of
deliveries of Coal.

(c)    Clauses
13.2 to 13.6 inclusive, shall apply in the event Stanwell does not take
delivery in full of any Coal for which Stanwell has validly nominated in accordance with this
Agreement hereunder on the due date, or such non-taking of delivery is
threatened as provided hereunder, irrespective of the cause, except where the
cause is the breach by Coronado of its obligations under this Agreement.

13.2    Stanwell
to Give Notices and Reports  

(a)    Stanwell
shall give notice ("Interruption Notice") to Coronado promptly
upon the occurrence of any event which interrupts or is reasonably likely to
interrupt the taking of Coal by Stanwell in accordance with this Agreement.

(b)    As
soon as practicable thereafter, Stanwell shall give a report to Coronado
covering the following matters to the best of Stanwell's knowledge at the time
of giving the report:

(i)    the nature of the interruption
or threatened interruption;

(ii)    the circumstances and cause of
same;

(iii)    whether
Stanwell considers the event to be outside the control of Stanwell;

(iv)    the likely duration of the
interruption;

(v)    Stanwell's
revised plan for taking of deliveries of Coal at the time of giving the report;
and

(vi)    details
of the efforts that have been made and are planned by Stanwell to avoid or
minimise the interruption and the effects thereof on Stanwell's performance
under this Agreement.

(c)    So long
as the interruption continues or continues to threaten, Stanwell shall furnish
Coronado with further reports covering the matters listed in Clause 13.2(b):

(i)    whenever there is any material
change in the circumstances as set out in the last report; and

(ii)    in any
event no less than Monthly.

(d)    Stanwell shall notify
Coronado immediately when the interruption ends.

13.3    Counter-Measures
by Coronado

(a)    Coronado
shall be entitled to take reasonable action to avoid or mitigate the effects of
the interruption or threatened interruption on Coronado, without prejudicing
such rights as Coronado may have under this Agreement with respect to such
interruption.  In particular but without limitation, Coronado shall be entitled
to take the following actions if the interruption continues, or in the
reasonable opinion of Coronado after consulting with Stanwell is likely to
continue, for more than:

(i)    thirty
(30) days, then Coronado may, at its discretion in accordance with
Clause 13.4(a):

(A)    subject to Clause 13.4(c)
postpone the affected deliveries, until any subsequent Year or Years of the
Supply Term; or

(B)    without penalty to Coronado,
cancel the same and sell the affected deliveries elsewhere;

(ii)    ninety
(90) days, Coronado may, at its discretion in accordance with
Clause 13.4(a), enter Medium Term Arrangements for the sale of the
affected deliveries which in Coronado's reasonable view are likely to be
affected by the interruption to third parties, in which case Coronado (in
addition to its rights under Clause 13.3(a)(i) above), may, at its discretion
cancel the shipments covered by the Medium Term Arrangements or postpone,
subject to Clause 13.4(c), the same to any subsequent Year or Years;

(iii)    fifteen
(15) Months and actually result in Stanwell taking less than [***]% of the Coal
it is entitled to receive under this Agreement during those fifteen (15)
Months, then Coronado may (in addition to its rights under Clauses 13.3(b) and
13.3(c)), upon notice to Stanwell terminate this Agreement provided such notice
is given within seven (7) days of the end of that fifteen (15) Month 

 

 

 Page | 32 

      

period.  Any notice given
pursuant to this clause shall state the effective date of such termination.

(b)    In
the event Stanwell becomes able to recommence performance in accordance with
this Agreement during the period of any suspension under Clause 13.3(a)(ii),
Stanwell shall give Coronado not less than ninety (90) days' notice thereof in
which event, upon termination of its Medium Term Arrangements, Coronado
shall recommence making and Stanwell shall recommence taking Coal deliveries
under this Agreement.

(c)    Before
taking any reasonable action under Clause 13.3(a), Coronado shall inform
Stanwell of its proposed action.  Stanwell may, within 5 days, make
representations to Coronado as to the appropriateness of the proposed action,
taking into account among other things, the likelihood of the interruption
occurring and its likely duration.  In determining what reasonable action to
take under Clause 13.3(a), Coronado shall take those representations into
account.

13.4    Coronado's Elections

(a)    Coronado
may make the elections provided in Clause 13.3(a) by giving notice to Stanwell
at any time prior to the recommencement of Stanwell's performance after suspension
of this Agreement.

(b)    If
Coronado elects to cancel deliveries in accordance with Clause 13.3 the
cancelled deliveries of Coal will not be treated as delivered for the purposes
of the SRA Value Schedule and any cancellation will not prejudice Stanwell's
entitlement to achieve the Outstanding Value of the SRA under this Agreement.

(c)    If
Coronado elects to treat the affected deliveries as postponed, then the same
shall be postponed until such subsequent Years as may be nominated by Coronado
in the notice of election given under Clause 13.4(a); provided that unless Stanwell
agrees, the postponed deliveries to be delivered in any Year shall not exceed
[***] percent ([***]%) of the Annual Contract Tonnage nominated by Stanwell in
accordance with Clause 4.1(a)(i) for that Year.  

(d)    If
Coronado elects to enter into Medium Term Arrangements and Stanwell gives
Coronado notice of resumption of taking of deliveries Coronado shall use its
best endeavours to terminate the Medium Term Arrangements (without being required to
breach the same) such that it is able to make the deliveries when nominated by
Stanwell.

(e)    If the
interruption to taking of deliveries is only partial, or if Stanwell is able to
recommence taking partial deliveries only and such partial taking is likely in
Coronado's reasonable view to result in Stanwell taking less than [***]% of
the total Coal it is required to take under this Agreement over the succeeding
90 days, Coronado shall have the option of not tendering any deliveries, in
which case the provisions of this Clause 13 shall apply as if it were not
possible for Stanwell to take any deliveries, or of tendering such deliveries
as can be taken, in which case this Clause 13 shall apply to the portion of
deliveries that cannot be taken.

13.5    Causes
Outside the Control of Stanwell

(a)    For
the purposes of Clauses 13.6(b) and 13.6(c), an interruption to the taking of
deliveries shall be considered to be a "Cause Outside the Control of
Stanwell" if Stanwell is prevented from taking, transporting, or using
the Coal in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, but only if the
following conditions are met:

(i)    the cause
of the interruption was not reasonably foreseeable and was beyond Stanwell's
reasonable control;

(ii)    the
interruption could not have been avoided or overcome by a prudent power station
operator exercising due diligence;

(iii)    Stanwell
has substantially given the notices and reports required under
Clause 13.2;

 

 

 Page | 33 

      

(iv)    any
relevant requirements of Clause 13.5(b) are satisfied; and

(v)    Stanwell
takes such Coal as it is able to take on a basis which is no less favourable to
Coronado than to Stanwell's other suppliers.

(b)    The
following provisions shall apply with respect to the particular causes
enumerated:

(i)    Interruptions
due to breakdowns of machinery will only be considered to be beyond Stanwell's
reasonable control if Stanwell has followed proper maintenance procedures and
has in place proper "breakdown" procedures which anticipate normally
foreseeable breakdowns and minimise the consequences.

(ii)    Interruptions
due to failure of supply of goods and services, including shipping and other
transportation (and in the case of Stanwell, Stanwell's Carrier), electric
power and water, will only be considered to be beyond Stanwell's reasonable
control if Stanwell has exercised due prudence in the choice of the supplier
and has entered proper contractual arrangements.

(iii)    Interruptions
due to increases in costs, environmental restrictions, or any reduction in
demand for electricity, however unexpected, will not be considered to be beyond
Stanwell's reasonable control.

(iv)    Interruptions
due to embargoes, orders or acts of a Government Body of the State of
Queensland, however unexpected, will not be considered to be beyond Stanwell's
reasonable control where those embargoes, orders or acts:

(A)    are
intended to apply, or have the effect of applying, only to Stanwell and/or the
Stanwell Power Station; or

(B)    are
intended to have a greater proportional application to the Stanwell Power
Station than other coal fired power stations in the State of Queensland,

provided that this Clause 13.5(b)(iv) shall not apply to
Stanwell if the shares in Stanwell cease to be owned by a Government Body,
unless the commission of the relevant embargo, order or act is a condition,
express or implied, of the transaction by which the new owner became owner of
those shares.

(c)    Where
Stanwell is entitled to recover damages from a third party supplier of goods or
services, it shall use its best endeavours to do so (to the extent that a
prudent power station operator would do so) and the cause concerned (to the extent
it otherwise qualifies under this Clause 13.5) will only be considered to be a
Cause Outside the Control of Stanwell to the extent such damages recovered by
Stanwell are insufficient to pay to Coronado the amounts payable under Clause
13.6(c).

(d)    Without
limitation, the following are examples of events that could lead to
interruption beyond Stanwell's control if the requirements of Clauses 13.5(a) and 13.5(b)
are met:

(i)    natural calamities, acts of
public enemies, acts of terrorists, insurrections, fires, wars, explosions,
floods;

(ii)    serious breakdowns of railroad
or port facilities;

(iii)    breakdowns of the boilers and
other machinery;

(iv)    embargoes,
orders or acts of a competent court or governmental or other statutory
authority;

(v)    strike, lockout, illegal
stoppages, or labour or union organised reduction of production; and

(vi)    failure
of supply of goods and services including Stanwell's Carrier failing to make
sufficient rollingstock available at the train loading facilities at the
Curragh Mine to allow Stanwell to carry out its obligations hereunder.

13.6    Consequences
of Interruption

(a)    Both
Coronado and Stanwell shall endeavour to mitigate costs and damages flowing
from any interruption to the taking of deliveries of Coal.

(b)    If
the cause of the interruption to the taking of deliveries of Coal is a Cause
Outside the Control of Stanwell, then Stanwell shall be relieved of its obligation to take
such deliveries at such time (and to make payments in consequence of not taking
the same) to the extent the taking is prevented by such cause, without
derogating from Stanwell's other obligations hereunder.

(c)    Subject
to Clause 22.6, if the cause of the interruption to the taking of deliveries is
not a Cause Outside the Control of Stanwell and Stanwell has not made an Advance Payment
with respect to such deliveries as provided in Clause 16, then in addition
to such other rights as Coronado may have under this Agreement, Coronado shall
be entitled to recover from Stanwell indemnification for all of Coronado's
costs and damages resulting from the interruption, including costs in
stockpiling of coal and any reduced price (in comparison to the Netback Price)
it may receive from selling coal to other customers. Coronado will use
reasonable endeavours to mitigate all such costs and damages.

14.    Sales by Coronado to other
Purchasers

Subject only to complying with its obligations to Stanwell
under this Agreement, Coronado may, at its sole discretion, sell coal produced
from the Tenements to any other purchaser of that coal.

15.    Marketable
Reserves  

15.1    Annual Report on Marketable
Reserves

Coronado shall prepare and provide to Stanwell by 30
September of each Year during the Supply Term (or if earlier, within 10
Business Days of it being filed with a recognised stock exchange), the most
current Marketable Reserves Statement.

16.    Request
by Stanwell for Postponement of Deliveries

Stanwell may request of Coronado
that it does not take deliveries of Coal that it would otherwise be required to
take by electing to make an Advance Payment to Coronado equal to 100% of the
Contract Price per Tonne Equivalent of the affected delivery, provided that:

(a)    Stanwell gives reasonable
prior notice to Coronado of its intent to make this election;

(b)    Coronado
at its sole discretion and without legal obligation, decides to accommodate the
election with or without conditions and gives Stanwell notice to that effect,
including setting out any conditions and costs Stanwell will be required to
bear;

(c)    Stanwell
first agrees to comply with any conditions and be liable for any costs as
outlined in Coronado's notice, and if the Coal is stockpiled it is done so at
Stanwell's risk; and

(d)    in the event Stanwell does so
elect, Stanwell shall be entitled to request make up deliveries of the affected
deliveries in any subsequent Year (provided that unless Coronado agrees such
make up deliveries shall not exceed 10% of the Annual Contract Tonnage for any
Year).

An "Advance Payment" is a payment
described in this Clause 16.  For the purposes only of the SRA Value
Schedule and without limiting Coronado's delivery obligations, if Stanwell
makes an Advance Payment in respect of any Coal, that Coal will be deemed to
have been delivered at the time of payment by Stanwell.

18.    Assignment
and Change of Control  

18.1    Assignment by Coronado

Coronado may not assign all or any part of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement unless:

(a)    Stanwell has given its prior
consent; and

(b)    its rights, in the same
percentage, to the Tenements and to each Project Document are assigned to the
same assignee at the same time, except in relation to a deemed assignment under
Clause 18.4.

18.2    Assignment of rights to the
Tenements

(a)    Coronado may not assign
its rights to the Tenements, except together with an assignment, in the same
percentage, of its rights and obligations under this Agreement.

(b)    Notwithstanding
Clause 18.2(a), Coronado may encumber its rights to the Tenements so long as
the encumbrancee undertakes in a form reasonably satisfactory to Stanwell only to
dispose of such rights together with an assignment of rights and obligations
under this Agreement in accordance with Clause 18.1.

18.3    Assignment by Stanwell

Stanwell may not assign all or any part of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement unless:

(a)    Coronado has given its prior consent; and

(b)    each Project Document is
assigned to the same assignee at the same time.

18.4    Change
of Control

A Change of Control of Coronado will be deemed to be an
assignment of this Agreement for the purpose of this Clause 18 and the person
that acquires Control will be deemed to be the "proposed assignee",
provided that this Clause 18.4 will not apply if the Change of Control of
Coronado occurs as a result of the purchase of shares or other securities in
Coronado Holdings which are of a class that are listed on the Australian
Securities Exchange or another recognised stock exchange.

 

 

 Page | 38 

      

18.5    Requests
for consent

(a)    The Party
requesting any consent under this Clause 18 ("Party Concerned")
may request consent for a proposed assignee as soon as it believes a person is
likely to be an assignee ("Request").  

(b)    The
Party whose consent is required under this Clause 18 ("Consenting Party")
must, within 30 days (or 45 days if Clause 18.5(d) applies) of receiving a
Request, by notice to the Party Concerned, either:

(i)    subject
only to Clause 18.6(b), 18.6(e) and 18.6(g), give unqualified consent; or

(ii)    refuse
consent, in which case it must set out the reasons for such refusal.

(c)    If the Consenting Party fails for
any reason to give the notice within such period, unqualified consent will be
deemed to have been given.

(d)    If
neither the proposed assignee nor any of its Holding Companies:

(i)    has a
substantial investment in Australia, or

(ii)    is
listed on a stock exchange either in Australia or overseas,

then the 30 day period referred to in Clause 18.6(b) will
be extended to 45 days.

(e)    To
maximise the time the Consenting Party has to consider the suitability of a
proposed assignee, the Party Concerned may notify the Consenting Party of a
shortlist of proposed assignees as soon as the Party Concerned is satisfied
that a list, acceptable to it, is available.  However, a notice requesting a
consent for the purpose of this Clause 18.5 for a particular assignee will not
be deemed to have been given until the Party Concerned by notice informs the
Consenting Party that in its opinion a person named in the shortlist is likely
to be an assignee.

18.6    Financial
Ability

(a)    In
this Clause 18.6 "Financial Ability" means:

(i)    in
relation to a Party its financial ability to perform its obligations as a party
to this Agreement; and

(ii)    where
Clause 18.4 applies, a Party's financial ability to perform its obligations as
a party to this Agreement taking into account its Financial Ability and whether
that is materially adversely affected by a change of ownership to the proposed
assignee.

(b)    Where
a Party's
consent is required under this Clause 18, such consent must be given unless:

(i)    the
Consenting Party, acting reasonably, determines that the proposed assignee does
not have the Financial Ability; or

(ii)    where
Clause 18.4 applies, Stanwell, acting reasonably, determines that the party
would not continue to have the Financial Ability.

(c)    If,
acting reasonably, the Consenting Party determines that the proposed assignee
does not have the Financial Ability, and so informs, with reasons, the Party
Concerned as contemplated in Clause 18.5(b)(ii), the Party Concerned may then
request the Consenting Party to consider whether by taking into account the
ownership of the proposed assignee and the financial substance of its Holding
Company ("Matters") the proposed assignee thereby has the
Financial Ability.

(d)    The
Consenting Party must consider the request made under Clause 18.6(c) within 5
days of receiving it.  If, acting reasonably it determines that by taking into
account either or both Matters, the proposed assignee thereby has the Financial
Ability, the Consenting Party must inform the Party Concerned to that effect
and give its consent to the proposed assignment.  In doing so, the Consenting
Party may give qualified 

 

 

 Page | 39 

      

consent requiring reasonable
contractual protections, such as a Holding Company guarantee.

(e)    When
making a request under Clause 18.5 in respect of a particular proposed
assignee, the Party Concerned may request that if the Consenting Party, acting
reasonably, should determine that the proposed assignee does not have the
Financial Ability, then the Consenting Party also have regard to the Matters
for that
proposed assignee.   

(f)    In that
event the Consenting Party, acting reasonably, may give qualified consent
requiring reasonable contractual protections, such as a Holding Company
guarantee.  Any such consent is to be given within the 30 or 45 day period as
contemplated under Clause 18.5.  In doing so the Consenting Party must also
give reasons for initially determining that the proposed assignee does not have
the Financial Ability.

(g)    Notwithstanding
any other provision of Clause 18 a consent for a particular potential assignee
will be deemed to include a consent for any Related Body Corporate of it that
becomes the actual assignee so long as the Related Body Corporate is determined
by the Consenting Party in accordance with this Clause 18.6 to:

(i)    meet the
criteria set out in this Clause; or if not 

(ii)    meet
the criteria set out in this Clause by the Consenting Party, acting reasonably,
taking into account the Matters, if the Party Concerned has requested that the
Matters be considered,

and if Clause 18.6(g)(ii) applies, the Consenting Party may
give qualified consent requiring reasonable contractual protections, such as a
Holding Company guarantee.

18.7    Deemed
notice

The Parties agree that any notice referred to in this
Clause 18 will be deemed to have been given and received if:

(a)    similar
notice has been given pursuant to the equivalent provision to this Clause 18 in
another Project Document; and

(b)    that notice refers to this
Agreement.

Schedule 1– SRA Value Schedule  

1.    Introduction

1.1    This
Agreement includes a number of items which change from time to time in
accordance with the Model Calculations contained in this Schedule 1.  The
purpose of these Model Calculations is to accommodate the flexibility in this
Agreement (including as to the Supply Commencement Date, Contract Price per GJ,
Monthly Tonnage and Cash in Lieu) while ensuring that in all circumstances
Stanwell receives the Value of the SRA. The Value of the SRA is acquitted by
the payment by Coronado of Monthly Cash Flows (adjusted by the Discount Factor)
as determined by the Model Calculations, and if the Outstanding Value of the
SRA is greater than zero as at the 31 December 2038, by payment by Coronado of
the Termination Payment.  

1.2    From time
to time as required for the purposes of this Agreement prior to the Supply
Commencement Date, and then at the end of each Month during the Supply Term,
the Model Calculations will be made in accordance with their terms.  The Model
Calculations use Fixed Inputs, Variable Elements and the output of other Model
Calculations.  

1.3    The
Model Calculations determine (amongst other things) certain payments to be made
under this Agreement, including that, in relation to each Month during the
Supply Term:

(a)    Stanwell
shall pay to Coronado the Netback Amount for the aggregate quantities of Coal
delivered in that Month.  The Netback Amount for the Month is to be determined
as: 

Netback Amount = [Netback Price x Monthly Tonnage (SRA
Value Schedule)] + [(Invoice Price x Tonnes Delivered) – (Contract Price per
Tonne Equivalent x Monthly Tonnage (SRA Value Schedule)]

(b)    Coronado
shall pay to Stanwell the Derived Amount and the Cash in Lieu for the Month.

1.4    The
Parties have agreed the form of an Excel spreadsheet which contains the Model
Calculations as attached to the email sent from Tim Peirce, Coronado to Natalie
Gordon, Stanwell on 14 August 2018 at approximately 11.15 am, and which is
attached to this Schedule 1.  The Excel spreadsheet also includes rows which
are to be used for the administration of this Agreement by the Parties, but
which are not, and do not affect, Fixed Inputs, Variable Elements or Model
Calculations for the purposes of this Schedule 1. 

1.5    To
the extent of any inconsistency, the documents will be interpreted in the
following order of precedence:

(a)    this
Agreement, including this Schedule 1; 

(b)    the
Excel spreadsheet; and

(c)    the
worked examples attached.

1.6    Each
Party acknowledges that the Model Calculations do not and will not take account
of either Party's tax position.

1.7    In this
Schedule 1, a reference to a Clause is a reference to a Clause in the main body
of this Agreement.

5.    Termination
Payments

If this Agreement is terminated or if as at 31 December
2038, the Outstanding Value of the SRA is greater than zero, Coronado must pay
to Stanwell a termination payment (Termination Payment) calculated in
accordance with this Schedule 1 and:

·       
 if the termination is due to Coronado's
default, the Termination Payment will be: 

 

·       
 the Cash Value of the SRA; plus 

·       
 the Top-Up Amount; and 

 

·       
      if the termination is for any
other reason or if as at 31 December 2038, the Outstanding Value of the SRA is
greater than zero, the Termination Payment will be the Cash Value of the SRA.  

 

Calculation of the Cash Value of the SRA

 

The Cash Value of the SRA is calculated as:

 

"="    Outstanding Value of the SRA m / Discount
Factor m

with each such value being calculated as at the end of the
Month in which the date of termination occurs. 

 

Calculation of Top-Up Amount

 

The Top-Up Amount is determined by:

 

·       
 taking the remaining Supply Term as at
the date of termination based on the last nomination (including the non-binding
nomination for each Year in the Supply Term after the Year for which the
nomination is made) under Clause 4.1;

 calculating a revised Netback Price
(the Revised Netback Price) for each Month of the remaining Supply Term in
accordance with the table set out below and determining any Top-Up Amount
payable by Coronado;  

 

	
  Input

  	
  Value of Fixed Input

  
	
  Forecast Price 

  	
  means, for each Month of the remaining Supply Term from
  and including the date of termination, the price for [***] kcal/kg NAR
  thermal coal on a Free on Board basis at Newcastle Port in nominal US$ per
  tonne that is included for that Month in the Wood MacKenzie Long Term Thermal
  Market Outlook last published prior to the date of termination. 

  
	
  FX Rate

  	
  means, for each Month of the remaining Supply Term from
  and including the date of termination, the rate for converting US dollars
  into one Australian dollar that is included for that Month in the long term
  exchange rate forecast published by Wood MacKenzie last published prior to
  the date of termination. 

  
	
  A$ Forecast Price

  	
  means, for a Month, the Forecast Price divided by the FX
  Rate.

  
	
  Reference Energy

  	
  means the energy applicable to the Forecast Price, as
  measured in GJ per Tonne (as received), being for the Forecast Price
  described above, [***] GJ per Tonne (as received).

  
	
  Port Costs

  	
  in respect of each Month of the remaining Supply Term from and including the date of termination, the price in A$ set out for that Month for Port Costs
  in Attachment 1 to this Schedule 1.

  Rail Costs

  	
  in respect of each Month of the remaining Supply Term from and
  including the date of termination, the price is A$ set out for that Month for
  Rail Costs in Attachment 1 to this Schedule 1.

  
	
  Export Royalty 

  	
  means, in respect of each Month of the remaining Supply
  Term from and including the date of
  termination:

   

  if the A$ Forecast Price less Port Costs is less than or
  equal to A$100/Tonne:

   

  =((A$ Forecast Price less Port Costs) x 7%)

   

  if A$ Forecast Price less Port Costs is greater than
  A$100/Tonne and less than or equal to A$150/Tonne:

   

  =A$7 + ((A$ Forecast Price less Port Costs less A$100) x
  12.5%)

   

  if the A$ Forecast Price less Port Costs is greater than
  A$150/Tonne:

   

  =A$13.25 + ((A$ Forecast Price less Port Costs less $150)
  x 15%)

   

  
	
  Revised Netback Price

  	
  is calculated for each Month of the remaining Supply Term from and including the date of termination as:

   

  =(A$ Forecast Price) x (Contract Energy / Reference
  Energy) – Port Costs – Rail Costs – Export Royalty

   

  
	
  Discount Factor (Termination)

  	
  in respect of each Month of the remaining Supply Term from and including the date of termination, is to be
  determined as:

  =1/[((1+ Discount Rate)^(1/365))^(Days from the date of termination to
  the end of the relevant Month)]

  
	
  Top-Up Amount  (Month)

  	
  in respect of each Month of the remaining Supply Term from and including the date of termination:

  ·       
   if the Revised Netback Price is less than or equal to the Netback Price for the Month, the Top-Up Amount (Month)
  for the Month is zero; and

  ·       
   if the Revised Netback Price is
  greater than the Netback Price for the Month, the Top-Up Amount (Month) for
  the Month is determined as: 

  = [(Revised Netback Price – Netback Price) x Monthly Tonnage (SRA Value
  Schedule) x Discount Factor (Termination)].

  
	
  Top-Up Amount

  	
  the sum of each Top-Up Amount (Month).

  

 

 

The Forecast Price and the FX Rate are the Forecast
Indices.  If at any time on and from the Valuation Date, a Forecast Index is no
longer published or the basis of calculation of the Forecast Index materially
changes, the Forecast Index will be replaced with a replacement index that best
represents the characteristics of the relevant Forecast Index as at the
Valuation Date.  In order to determine whether a Forecast Index is no longer
published or the 

 

 

 Page | 52 

      

basis of calculation of the
Forecast Index materially changes and, if so, the replacement index:

 

·       
 Either Party may notify the other if it
considers that a Forecast Index is no longer published or the basis of
calculation of the Forecast Index has materially changed.  If the Parties do
not agree on whether a Forecast Index is no longer published or the basis of
calculation of the Forecast Index has materially changed within 30 days of such
notice, Clause 17(h) will apply.  

·       
 If the Parties agree or it is
determined that a Forecast Index is no longer published or the basis of
calculation of the Forecast Index has materially changed, the Parties will seek
to agree upon a replacement Forecast Index.  If the Parties have not agreed on
a replacement within 30 days of the agreement or determination, Stanwell will
nominate a relevant replacement Forecast Index to Coronado.

·       
 If Coronado does not agree with the
replacement Forecast Index provided by Stanwell, Clause 17(h) will apply.  

·       
 If a replacement Forecast Index is
determined in circumstances where Coronado is in default or this Agreement has
been terminated due to Coronado's default and the Forecast Index that is
finally agreed or determined is the replacement Forecast Index nominated by
Stanwell, then Coronado must bear the cost of the Expert and any consultant or
advisors engaged by the Expert and Stanwell's legal and other costs related to
the determination.

 

If a Forecast Index does not, as at the date of
termination, publish any of the input for the Forecast Index beyond a date such
that it does not include all remaining Months of the Supply Term as required to
determine the Revised Netback Price, the Forecast Index for the Months in which
no input is published will be determined as:

 

·       
 in relation to the Forecast Price, the
forecast published for the date which is furthest in the future from the date
of termination (Last Published Date) multiplied by the Forecast Escalation Rate
where:

 

·       
 the Forecast Escalation Rate means, for
a Month:  (1 + 0.02) ^ (Forecast Days / 365); and

 

·       
 Forecast Days means, for a Month, the
number of days from (and excluding) the Last Published Date u     ntil (and
including) the last day of the relevant Month; and

 

·       
 in relation to the FX Rate, the FX Rate
published for the date which is furthest in the future from the date of
termination.

 

6.    Maintenance
of agreed Value of the SRA and model 

For the purposes of administration, Coronado must prepare
the Model Calculations in accordance with this Schedule 1 each Month and make
it available to Stanwell in the same format as the agreed Excel spreadsheet (or
as otherwise agreed).
