CHANGES

20.1

The identification of the need for a change to the requirements of any Task placed under this Agreement may come from PEAK or ROKE. The ultimate responsibility for the requirements rests with the PEAK Project Authority; therefore any Change Request must be sanctioned and approved by the PEAK Project Authority before it can be communicated to the Project Authority at ROKE.

20.2

The following sequence of events describes the change life cycle:

20.2.1

Where the identification of the need for a change is made by PEAK:

(a)

the PEAK Project Authority completes and signs a Change Request form. The key items of information required are:

Unique Number, date raised, Title, technical detail of change requested, date response required from ROKE, date by which implementation of change is required.

Page 13 of 18

Commercial-in-Confidence

(b)

the signed Change Request form is sent to the ROKE Project Authority. Any technical discussion will take place between these two people.

(c)

ROKE will make all reasonable endeavours to respond to a PEAK Change Request within the time requested by PEAK Project Authority. The response will be either:-

(i)

a formal fixed price offer or time and materials quotation, including time scale implications and proposed amendment to the agreed Task Form; or

(ii)

a rejection of the requested change with explanation for the reasons.

20.2.2

Where the identification of the need for a change is made by ROKE, the ROKE Project Authority completes and signs a Change Request, which shall include a formal fixed price offer or time and materials quotation, including time scale implications and proposed amendment to the agreed Task Form.

20.2.4

The PEAK Project Authority will then decide to either:

(a)

reject the offer in which case ROKE Project Authority will be informed immediately, the Change Request will not be approved and the Task will not change, or

(b)

accept the offer in which case the PEAK Project Authority will approve the Change Request and the Task will change accordingly.

20.2.5

PEAK will make all reasonable endeavours to send a formal amendment to the Task Form to ROKE within 2 weeks of acceptance of the Change Request by the PEAK Project Authority.

20.2.6

Upon receipt of the acceptance from PEAK, ROKE will proceed with the agreed change.

20.3

Where PEAK makes a Change Request to include a requirement for project documentation with the scope of Deliverables for a Task, the ROKE Project Authority shall not unreasonably withhold or delay approval for the relevant Change Request, subject to PEAK meeting the reasonable costs of the production of such project documentation.

21.

CHANGE OF NAME

Where PEAK changes its legal name to Mine Clearing Corporation, this Agreement shall automatically incorporate the change. For the avoidance of doubt all rights and obligations of PEAK shall pass onto Mine Clearing Corporation upon the change of name.

21.

SEVERABILITY
