To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Buyer agrees not to make, and waives any right it might have to make any Claim against the Seller or any of their Representatives, whether in respect of the Warranties or otherwise, under:

(a) Part 7.10 of the Corporations Act;

(b) the Australian Securities and Investments Commission Xxx 0000 (Cth) in connection with a breach of section 12DA of that Act; or

(c) the Australian Consumer Law,

or any corresponding or similar provision of any Australian State or Territory legislation or any similar provision of any legislation in any relevant jurisdiction or any other applicable Laws.

15.6 Notice of Claims

If the Buyer becomes aware of any fact, matter or circumstance that will give rise to a Claim (including a breach of a Warranty):

(a) the Buyer must give written notice of the Claim to the Seller as soon as is reasonably practicable; and

(b) the notice must set out reasonable details of:

(i) the facts, matters or circumstances that may give rise to the Claim;

(ii) if it is alleged that the facts, matters or circumstances referred to in clause 15.6(b)(i) constitute a breach of this Agreement (including a breach of a Warranty), the basis for that allegation; and

(iii) based on such details as are available to the Buyer (making all relevant and due enquiries which are reasonable in the time before notice must be given under this Agreement), an estimate of the amount of the Liabilities, if any, arising out of, or in connection with, the Claim or the facts, matters or circumstances that may give rise to the Claim.

(c) If the Buyer does not fully comply with this clause 15.6, the failure is not a bar to making the relevant Claim, but the Seller is not liable under the Claim to the extent that the non-compliance has increased the amount of the Claim.

15.7 Dealing with Third Party Claims after Completion

(a) The Buyer must promptly give notice to the Seller if a Third Party Claim is made that the Buyer believes will give rise to a Claim against the Seller.

page 43

(d) The Buyer must not make any admission of liability, agreement or compromise with any person in relation to the Third Party Claim without first consulting with, and obtaining the approval of, the Seller (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(e) The Buyer must give the Seller and its professional advisers reasonable access to:

(i) the personnel of the Buyer; and

(ii) relevant assets, accounts, documents and records within the power, possession or control of the Buyer,

to enable the Seller and its professional advisers to examine the circumstances, assets, accounts, documents and records and to take copies or photographs of them at the Seller’s expense.

(f) The Buyer must take all action in good faith and with due diligence that the Seller reasonably directs to avoid, remedy or mitigate the Third Party Claim, including legal proceedings and disputing, defending, appealing or compromising the Third Party Claim and any adjudication of it. The Seller indemnifies the Buyer against all Liabilities of the Buyer or a Related Body Corporate of the Buyer that may result from such action.

(g) Nothing in clause 15.7(e) requires the Buyer (acting reasonably) to allow the Seller to have access to anything that:

(i) is the subject of legal professional privilege (but the Buyer will act reasonably in relation to any request by the Seller to establish suitable confidentiality or other arrangements to allow access without breaching the Buyer’s legal professional privilege); or

(ii) has been prepared predominantly for the purpose of, or in contemplation of, the Buyer making a Claim against the Seller under this Agreement.

(h) The Buyer is not required to comply with clause 15.7(f) to the extent that:

(i) an act or omission otherwise required by the Buyer under that paragraph may, in the reasonable opinion of the Buyer, lead to a loss of client legal privilege or other legal privilege in relation to a matter or document (but the Buyer will act reasonably in relation to any request by the Seller to establish suitable confidentiality or other arrangements to allow access without breaching the Buyer’s legal professional privilege); or

page 44

(ii) it is inconsistent with a right an insurer may have in respect of the relevant Third Party Claim.

Neither Party is liable to the other Party for, and each Party releases the other Party in respect of, any Claim for any Consequential Loss.

15.9 Tax benefit

In calculating the Liabilities of the Seller in respect of a Claim, any:

(a) reduction in tax payable by the Buyer as a result of the Liabilities arising from that Claim; and

(b) amount of the Claim that is assessable or otherwise included in the determination of the Buyer’s liability for any Taxes,

must be taken into account.

15.10 Reduction of Purchase Price

(a) If a payment is made by the Seller for a breach of any of the Warranties, the payment is to be treated as a reduction in the Purchase Price.

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that any such reduction will be allocated against the Tenements.

A Party having a Claim against another Party (including under an indemnity contained in this Agreement) must take all reasonable steps to mitigate any Liabilities arising from such Claim.

15.12 Qualifications and limitations do not apply in the case of fraud

(ii) any transaction or arrangement that may take place between the Seller, the Buyer, the Buyer’s Guarantor or any other person;

(iii) the Seller exercising or not exercising any other security or any of the rights conferred on it by Law or under this Agreement or any other agreement or failing to take security;

(iv) any discharge or release of any obligation of the Buyer, any other guarantor or any other person;

(v) any Insolvency, legal limitation, incapacity, disability, reorganisation, change in condition, nature or status or other circumstance related to the Buyer;

(vi) the Buyer’s obligations or any part of them becoming wholly or partially illegal, void or voidable, or unenforceable;

(vii) failure by the Seller to give notice to the Buyer’s Guarantor of any default by the Buyer under this Agreement;

(h) If a Claim that a payment or transfer to the Seller in connection with this Agreement is void or voidable under Laws relating to insolvency or protection of creditors is upheld, conceded or compromised, then the Seller is entitled immediately as against the Buyer’s Guarantor to the

page 46

rights to which it would have been entitled under this clause 16 if all or part of the payment or transfer had not occurred.

(i) Provided the payments are not claimed by any person to be void or voidable and that claim is upheld, the liability of the Buyer’s Guarantor under this clause 16 will cease upon full and final payment to the Seller of all of the components of each of:

(i) the Purchase Price;

(ii) the Pre-Completion Development Contribution; and

(iii) the funding of the Joint Venture costs overruns as detailed in the Joint Venture Agreement.

17 Excluded Assets

17.1 No interest

For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Sale Interest does not extend to, and the Buyer does not obtain any right, interest or entitlement whatsoever in, any of the Excluded Assets even if the Excluded Assets are located on the Tenements.

18 GST

18.1 Goods and Sales Tax

(a) Terms used in this clause 18 which are defined in the GST Law but not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the same meanings as given to them by in the GST Law.

(b) The Parties agree that the transfer of the Sale Interest under this Agreement is a supply of a going concern within the meaning of subdivision 38-J of the GST Act, and the Parties intend that such a supply will be GST free such that clause 18.1(g) does not apply to it.

(c) The Seller warrants and represents that it:

(i) will supply to the Buyer all of the things that are necessary for the continued operation of an enterprise; and

(ii) will continue to carry on the enterprise without interruption until and including the Completion Date.

(d) The Buyer warrants that it is registered or required to be registered for GST under the GST Law as at the Completion Date.

(e) If, despite the agreement of the Parties and for any reason other than a breach of either of the Seller’s warranties in clause 18.1(c), the transfer of all or any part of the Sale Interest is not the supply of a going concern for GST purposes and is a taxable supply, then the following provisions of this Agreement will apply to that supply except that any additional amount payable under clause 18.1(g) is payable by the Buyer within 10 Business

page 47

Days of receipt of a valid tax invoice for that taxable supply and that additional amount must be refunded to the Buyer if the assessment is overturned by the Commissioner of Taxation, a court or tribunal. In addition and subject to the above, the Buyer will indemnify the Seller for all interest, fines, penalties, charges and similar amounts payable as a result of the supply being incorrectly treated in whole or in part as the supply of a going concern. It will not be a defence to any claim for indemnification pursuant to this clause that the Seller failed to mitigate its loss and damage by paying an amount of GST when it fell due under the GST Law.

(f) Unless otherwise stated, all amounts payable by the recipient of a supply (Recipient) to the Party making the supply (Supplier), howsoever described in this Agreement, do not include GST.

(g) If a supply under this Agreement is subject to GST (other than by reverse charge), the Recipient must pay to the Supplier an additional amount equal to the amount payable in relation to that supply multiplied by the prevailing GST rate as calculated in accordance with the GST Law.

(h) The additional amount under clause 18.1(g) is payable at the same time as the amount payable in relation to the Supply is payable or to be provided.

(i) Despite clause 18.1(h), any additional amount payable in accordance with clause 18.1(g) need not be paid until the Supplier provides a Tax Invoice to the Recipient.

(j) If the amount of GST paid is more than is required under the GST Law the Supplier must refund the excess amount to the Recipient. If the amount of GST paid is less than is required under the GST Law, the Recipient must pay the Supplier the difference. In addition, the Supplier must notify the Recipient of the excess amount or difference within 10 Business Days after becoming aware of the variation to the amount of GST payable. If there is an adjustment event in relation to the supply, the requirement for the Supplier to notify the Recipient will be satisfied by the Supplier issuing to the Recipient an adjustment note within 10 Business Days after becoming aware of the occurrence of the adjustment event. For the purposes of calculating further variations under this clause 18, any additional amount referred to in clause 18.1(g) is taken to be amended by the amount of any earlier variation made under this clause 18.1(j).

(k) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if a Party to this Agreement is entitled to be reimbursed or indemnified for a cost incurred by a Party in accordance with this Agreement, the amount of the reimbursement or indemnity shall not exceed the GST exclusive cost of the amount.

(I) If a Party to this Agreement is a member of a GST group, references to GST which the Party must pay, and to input tax credits to which the Party is entitled, include GST which the representative member of that GST group must pay and input tax credits to which the representative member is entitled.
