agreements governing their relationship.
5.1.2 IFFCO shall off-take on a long term and the Company shall deliver to
IFFCO to off-take directly or through its Affiliates 4 million tonnes
of concentrated rock phosphate produced by the Company every year.
5.1.3 For the purpose of the offtake in Article 5.1.2 above, IFFCO shall
enter into a long term rock off-take agreement (the "ROTA") with the
Company, the terms of which shall be separately negotiated but shall be
based on the following principles.
5.1.3.1 The concentrated rock phosphate should shall conform to
specifications reasonably acceptable to IFFCO, such
specifications shall be agreed to between the Company and IFFCO in
the ROTA.
5.1.3.2 The supplies are FOB at one or more agreed ports in Australia.
5.1.3.3 The Price of the concentrate rock phosphate shall be at a discount
of at least 5% of the Benchmark Price of rock. IFFCO shall provide
no other support to the Company under the ROTA.
5.1.3.4 At the Company's option however,
a) The ROTA can have provisions for compensation to the Company
in case IFFCO does not lift the contracted quantities and to
IFFCO if the Company is unable to supply the contracted
quantities.
b) In case the Benchmark Price falls below a value that reduces
the return on investment of the project below an agreed
amount, IFFCO can convert the entire discount into a
subordinated loan at a nominal interest to be repaid in
years when the market price is good. The details of this
mechanism shall be agreed in the ROTA.
c) The minimum quantity supplied below which compensation
claims can arise shall be 90% of the guaranteed quantities.
Quantities below such minimum but not below 70% of the
contracted quantity, shall be rolled over to the following
two years without any compensation, provided the Company
does not sell the deficient quantity in the spot market.
d) In case the Benchmark Price becomes such as it materially
adversely affects the financial viability of either Party,
the Parties will work together to mitigate the situation.

based on Article 5.1.3.4 above, the discount in Article 5.1.3.3
shall be read as 10%.

based on the price of equivalent quality of rock imported into
India by IFFCO and other large importers. For this purpose only
those buyers who import more than 350,000 tonnes per year will be
considered. The Parties shall mutually decide transparent indicies
and adjustment formula for different rock specifications for this
purpose.
5.1.3.7 In case the agreed indicies mentioned in Article 5.1.3.6 are not
available, the Benchmark Price shall be derived based on the
international market price of phosphoric acid delivered in India
less cost of sulphur, fixed costs and other variable costs of
phosphoric acid production, cost of transportation of rock from
Australia to India and reasonable return on the production of
phosphoric acid, divided by the specific consumption of rock of
the specifications agreed in the ROTA. The details of this
pricing structure would be agreed in the ROTA.
5.1.4 IFFCO shall be the marketing agent of the Company and act on the
instructions of the Company for the remaining rock phosphate produced,
to be sold in the spot market on an arm's length basis.
5.1.5 During the validity of this Agreement, either Party shall have a right
of first refusal to participate with the other Party in the production,
sale, marketing, distribution or in any other manner making available
any fertilizer or related product in Australia (e.g., urea plant or

Company and IFFCO.

assistance on an arm's length basis.

ROTA in accordance with this Article 5 within 6 months following the
Closing Date. Unless mutually agreed, neither Party shall be obliged to
enter into a ROTA if the Parties have not been able to execute a ROTA
within 24 months of the Closing Date and the Party seeking not to enter
into the ROTA is not in breach of this Agreement. IFFCO shall also not
be obliged to off-take rock if the deliveries of the contracted
quantities for the first year of operations, agreed in the ROTA, do not
commence within 5 years of the Closing Date.
