5.13 CVR Agreement.

(a) At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall duly execute and deliver the CVR Note Trust Deed (the “CVR Agreement”), which shall be in substantially the form attached hereto as Schedule C, and shall ensure that the Trustee (as defined in the CVR Agreement) duly executes and delivers the CVR Agreement. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent and the Company agree to cooperate in good faith to incorporate any reasonable comments to the CVR Agreement received from the Trustee under the CVR Agreement.

(b) The Company and Parent each acknowledge the importance of consistency across all public documents and, in that context, Company and its legal counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the any prospectus or other disclosure document (and any amendments thereto) regarding the CVRs and/or the CVR Agreement being distributed to investors, publicly filed or made available to the public prior to the Effective Date, and reasonable consideration shall be given to any comments made by Company and its legal counsel. Parent shall provide the Company with final copies of any such prospectus or other disclosure document.

(c) The Certification Subcommittee contemplated by the CVR Agreement (the “Certification Subcommittee”) will be established prior to the Effective Time and comprise (i) two (2) directors of the Parent that are independent, determined in accordance with the ASX Corporate Governance Council Principles and Recommendations (each a “Parent Nominee”); (ii) (Xxxxxxx) Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx (each a “Company Nominee”); and (iii) a person agreed between the Parent and the Company (who will chair the Certification Subcommittee) who: (a) has appropriate technical skills (having regard to the duties of the Certification Subcommittee); (b) is of appropriate reputation, standing and experience in the petroleum industry; and (c) has no direct or indirect personal interest in the outcome of the Interim Resource Certification (the “Certification Subcommittee Chair”). Prior to the Effective Time, the Company and Parent agree to develop and record terms of reference to address governance and procedural matters for the Certification Subcommittee.

(d) Parent will appoint each Company Nominee and the Certification Subcommittee Chair under a written appointment agreement on terms and conditions agreed with each Company Nominee and the Certification Subcommittee Chair respectively. Parent will act reasonably in its negotiations with each Company Nominee and the Certification Subcommittee Chair in respect of their respective appointment agreements, which will include terms and conditions (including as to remuneration and indemnities) that would reasonably be regarded as customary in an agreement for the appointment of an independent expert to undertake a role similar to the role of the members of the Certification Subcommittee.

-66-

(e) If a Parent Nominee resigns from the Certification Subcommittee or is otherwise unable to perform as a member of the Certification Subcommittee, within ten (10) days of the resignation or inability to perform, Parent shall nominate a replacement member who meets the membership criteria described in subclause (c)(i) above.

If the Certification Subcommittee Chair resigns or is otherwise unable to perform as the Certification Subcommittee Chair, within ten (10) days of the resignation or inability to perform, a replacement Certification Subcommittee Chair will be appointed by majority vote of the remaining members or, where no candidate can secure a majority vote, a Parent Nominee will act as Certification Subcommittee Chair until another candidate secures a majority vote.

(f) The Certification Subcommittee will have the duties, powers and functions contemplated by the CVR Agreement.

(g) The Certification Subcommittee will be a Committee of the Parent Board, and Parent's constitution and applicable Parent Board charters and policies will apply accordingly to and in respect of the Certification Subcommittee and its proceedings.

5.14 Notice and Cure Provisions

(a) Each Party will give prompt notice to the other of the occurrence, or failure to occur, at any time from the date hereof until the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of this Agreement and (ii) the Effective Time, of any event or state of facts which occurrence or failure would, or would be likely to:

(i) cause any of the representations or warranties of any Party contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect on the date hereof or at the Effective Date (provided that this subsection (a) shall not apply in the case of any event or state of facts resulting from the actions or omissions of another Party which are required under this Agreement); or

(ii) result in the failure to materially comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by any Party pursuant to this Agreement prior to the Effective Time.

provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.14 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available pursuant to this Agreement to the Party receiving that notice.

-67-

(b) No Party may elect not to complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to the conditions set forth in Section 6.2(a), Section 6.2(b), Section 6.3(a) or Section 6.3(b), as applicable, or exercise any termination right arising therefrom and no payments are payable as a result of such election pursuant to Section 7.3 unless at or prior to the Effective Time, the Party intending to rely thereon has delivered a written notice to the other Party specifying in reasonable detail all breaches of covenants, representations and warranties or other matters which the Party delivering such notice is asserting as the basis for the non-fulfillment of the applicable condition or termination right, as the case may be. If any such notice is delivered with respect to a breach of covenant, representation or warranty in this Agreement that is capable of being cured before the Outside Date, provided that a Party is proceeding diligently to cure such matter, no Party may terminate this Agreement other than pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(ii)(C) until the expiration of a period ending the earlier of (i) fifteen (15) Business Days from the date of receipt of such notice, if such matter has not been cured by such date and (ii) the Outside Date. If such notice has been delivered prior to the date of the Company Meeting, the Company may elect to postpone or adjourn the Company Meeting until the expiry of such period, provided such period does not extend past the Outside Date.

5.15 Resignation Letters and Other Deliverables

(i) certified copies of the resolutions duly passed by the Company Board approving the entering into of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; and

(ii) a certified copy of the Arrangement Resolution which has received the Company Securityholder Approval;

5.16 Exemption from the Registration Requirements of the U.S. Securities Act

If exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) is not available, the parties agree to amend the provisions of this Agreement, the Arrangement and any other relevant documents to such extent reasonably necessary to ensure that the transaction contemplated by this Agreement can be effected in a manner consistent with the provisions of the U.S. Securities Act and any relevant Securities Laws, including for this purpose the payment by Parent of cash in lieu of Parent Shares or Parent ADSs to a Company Shareholder who is a U.S. person, as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act provided that the Company shall not be required to agree to any such amendment that would be materially detrimental to the Company or Company Shareholders, and Parent shall not be required to agree to any such amendment that would increase the Cash Consideration payable or the aggregate Consideration payable.

5.17 Operational Matters

Parent shall procure that all Subsidiaries of Parent support, and do not obstruct or delay, the drilling of the Antelope-7 well, including voting in favor of the Antelope-7 well when it is first proposed at an Operating Committee Meeting convened by the operator of the PRL 15 joint venture and including not supporting any resolution or action that may have the effect of postponing the drilling of the Antelope-7 well.

-68-

(a) Parent shall keep the Company informed reasonably promptly and in reasonable detail of the status of the Total Transaction and provide copies of all executed documents provided to or received from Total or any of its representatives in connection with the Total Transaction to the Company (including true and complete copies of all amendments, modifications, side letters and supplements to the MOU or the Definitive Total Documentation) as promptly as practicable.

(b) Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the completion of the Total Transaction, or any alternative or similar transaction, is not a condition to the completion of the Arrangement.

(c) Parent will not agree to, and will not agree that SPI (208) Limited (as defined in the CVR Agreement) will agree to, SPI (208) Limited (i) assigning, transferring, waiving or limiting its rights under the Total Sale Agreement (as defined in the CVR Agreement); (ii) amending the Total Sale Agreement in any way that affects the timing of the completion of the Interim Resource Certification (as defined in the CVR Agreement) or the determination of the PRL 15 2C Resources (as defined in the CVR Agreement); or (iii) terminating the Total Sale Agreement, in each case whether directly or indirectly, by amendment or side agreement, arrangement, or understanding.

ARTICLE 7
TERM, TERMINATION, AMENDMENT AND WAIVER

7.1 Term

This Agreement shall be effective from the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

7.2 Termination

(a) Subject to Section 5.14, this Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective Time (except as provided below, notwithstanding approval of this Agreement or of the Arrangement Resolution by the Company Securityholders and/or by the Court, as applicable):

(i) by mutual written agreement of the Company and Parent;

(ii) by either the Company or Parent, if:

(A) the Effective Time shall not have occurred on or before the Outside Date, except that the right to terminate this Agreement under this 7.2(a)(ii)(A) shall not be available to any Party whose failure to fulfill any of its obligations or breach of any of its representations and warranties under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Effective Time to occur by such Outside Date;

-72-

(B) any condition in Section 6.1, other than the condition in Section 6.1(a), becomes incapable of being satisfied by the Outside Date, except that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.2(a)(ii)(B) will not be available to any Party whose failure to fulfill any of its obligations has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of such condition to be satisfied; or

(C) the Requisite Approval shall not have been obtained after a vote of the Company Securityholders at the Company Meeting in accordance with the Interim Order.

(iii) by Parent, if:

(A) prior to the time the condition in Section 6.1(a) is satisfied: (1) the Company Board fails to recommend or publicly withdraws, modifies or qualifies, in a manner adverse to Parent, its recommendation of the Arrangement (it being understood that publicly taking no position or a neutral position with respect to a publicly announced Acquisition Proposal for not more than seven (7) days shall not be considered an adverse modification or qualification), unless Parent shall have breached a covenant under this Agreement in such a manner that the Company would be entitled to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.2(a)(ii)(B) or Section 7.2(a)(iv); or (2) the Company Board shall have publicly approved or recommended, or entered into a binding written agreement with respect to, any Acquisition Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement permitted by Section 5.7(d)(i)) ((1) and (2) collectively a “Company Change in Recommendation”); or

(B) a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred that would cause the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 not to be satisfied, and such conditions are incapable of being satisfied by the Outside Date, and provided that Parent is not then in breach of this Agreement so as to cause any condition in Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 not to be satisfied; or

(C) if the Company is in material breach of any of the Company’s covenants or obligations in Section 5.7, and such breach has not been cured within ten days following delivery of written notice by Parent to the Company of such breach.

(iv) by the Company, if

(A) a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of Parent set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred that would cause the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 or Section 6.3 not to be satisfied, and such conditions are incapable of being satisfied by the Outside Date as reasonably determined by the Company and provided that the Company is not then in breach of this Agreement so as to cause any condition in Section 6.1 or Section 6.3 not to be satisfied; or

-73-

(B) it wishes to enter into a binding written agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement permitted by Section 5.7(d)(i)), subject to compliance with Section 5.7 in all material respects and subject to the payment of the Company Termination Fee to Parent substantially concurrently with such termination.

(b) In furtherance of, and not in limitation of, Section5.14, the Party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.2 (other than pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i)) shall give written notice of such termination to the other Party, specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such Party’s exercise of its termination right.

7.3 Expenses and Termination Fees

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement shall be paid by the Party incurring such fees, costs or expenses. In the event of termination of this Agreement by either the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 7.2, this Agreement will forthwith become void and have no further force or effect, without any liability of the part of Parent, the Company, or any of their respective Subsidiaries (or any of their respective shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants or representatives), except as provided in this Section 7.3, Section 2.12, Section 5.7(g), the last sentence of Section 5.9, Section 5.10 and Article 8, which shall survive any termination thereof, and provided further that neither Parent nor the Company shall be relieved or released from any liabilities arising out its fraud or intentional breach of this Agreement.

(b) For the purposes of this Agreement, “Company Termination Fee Event” means the termination of this Agreement:

(i) by Parent pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(iii)(A) (but not including a termination by Parent pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(iii)(A) in circumstances where the Company Change in Recommendation resulted from the occurrence of a Parent Material Adverse Effect);

(ii) by the Company pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(iv)(B);

(iii) by either Party pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(ii)(A) or Section 7.2(a)(ii)(C), but only if, in these termination events, (x) prior to such termination (in the case of Section 7.2(a)(ii)(A)) or prior to the Company Meeting (in the case of Section 7.2(a)(ii)(C)), a bona fide Acquisition Proposal for the Company shall have been made or publicly announced by any Person other than Parent and (y) within 12 months following the date of such termination, (A) the Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries enters into a definitive agreement in respect of an Acquisition Proposal which is later consummated or (B) an Acquisition Proposal shall have been consummated; (for purposes of this Section 7.3(b)(iii), the term “Acquisition Proposal” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in Section 1.1, except that a reference to “15%” in such definition shall be deemed to be a reference to “50%” and shall exclude any Acquisition Proposal that constitutes an Acquisition Proposal solely because of clause (a)(iii) of such definition, unless the Acquisition Proposal referred to in clause (y)(A) or (y)(B) above was made or publicly announced prior to the termination of this Agreement or the Company Meeting, as applicable, by any Person other than Parent); or

-74-

(iv) by Parent, pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(iii)(C).

(i) the Company pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(iv)(A) (relating to a failure of the condition set forth in Section 6.3(b)(ii) to be satisfied); or

(ii) the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(ii)(A), but only if, at the time of such termination, the condition in Section 6.3(e) has not been satisfied or waived and all other conditions in Section 6.1 and 6.2 (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Effective Time) have been satisfied and waived.

(d) If a Company Termination Fee Event occurs, the Company shall pay the Company Termination Fee to the Parent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, as follows:

(i) if the Company Termination Fee is payable pursuant to Section 7.3(b)(i), the Company Termination Fee shall be payable within three (3) Business Days following such termination;

(ii) if the Company Termination Fee is payable pursuant to Section 7.3(b)(ii) or Section 7.3(b)(iv) the Company Termination Fee shall be payable substantially concurrently with such termination;

(iii) if the Company Termination Fee is payable pursuant to Section 7.3(b)(iii), the Company Termination Fee shall be payable concurrently upon the consummation of the Acquisition Proposal referred to therein; or

(e) If a Parent Termination Fee Event occurs, Parent shall pay the Parent Termination Fee to the Company within three (3) Business Days following such termination.

(f) Any Company Termination Fee or Parent Termination Fee payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any present or future Taxes, unless such deduction or withholding is required by Law.

-75-

(g) Each Party acknowledges that the Company Termination Fee and the Parent Termination Fee constitute liquidated damages and are a genuine pre-estimate of the damages which the receiving Party will suffer or incur as a result of the event giving rise to such payment and the resultant termination of this Agreement and is not a penalty. Each Party irrevocably waives any right it may have to raise as a defence that any such liquidated damages are excessive or punitive. For greater certainty, each Party agrees that, upon any termination of this Agreement under circumstances the Company Termination Fee is payable and is paid in full, the Parent shall be precluded from any other remedy against the Company at Law or in equity or otherwise (including, without limitation, an order for specific performance), and shall not seek to obtain any recovery, judgment, or damages of any kind, including consequential, indirect, or punitive damages, against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members, shareholders or affiliates or their respective Representatives in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(h) The Company and Parent anticipate, and shall use reasonable endeavours to secure that, the Company Termination Fee or Parent Termination Fee, as applicable, is not and shall not be treated as consideration for a taxable supply for the purposes of value added tax or any other similar Tax.

(i) If any such Company Termination Fee is consideration for a taxable supply in respect of which the Company is liable to pay or account for such value added tax or similar Tax then the amount of the Company Termination Fee shall be reduced, or be deemed to include value added tax or Tax, as applicable, to take account of any such value added tax or Tax.

(j) If any such Parent Termination Fee is consideration for a taxable supply in respect of which Parent is liable to pay or account for such value added tax or similar Tax then the amount of the Parent Termination Fee shall be reduced, or be deemed to include value added tax or Tax, as applicable, to take account of any such value added tax or Tax.

7.4 Amendment

Subject to the provisions of the Interim Order, the Plan of Arrangement and applicable Laws, this Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement may, at any time and from time to time before or after the holding of the Company Meeting but not later than the Effective Time, be amended by mutual written agreement of the Parties, without further notice to or authorization on the part of the Company Shareholders, and any such amendment may without limitation:

(b) waive any inaccuracies or modify any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement;

(c) waive compliance with or modify any of the covenants contained in this Agreement and waive or modify performance of any of the obligations of the Parties; and

-76-

(d) waive compliance with or modify any mutual conditions precedent contained in this Agreement.

With respect to the transfer of Company Shares pursuant to Section 3.1(e):

(a)

each Company Shareholder (other than Dissenting Shareholders) may elect to receive, in respect of each Company Share transferred, the Share Consideration (the “Share Alternative”) or the Cash Consideration (the “Cash Alternative”), and, for the avoidance of doubt, each Company RSU Holder shall be entitled to make the same election in respect of the Company Shares to be issued to such Company RSU Holder pursuant to Section 3.1(d);

(b)

each Company Shareholder or Company RSU Holder who (i) elects Share Consideration or (ii) elects Cash Consideration but ultimately ends up receiving Share Consideration as a result of the proration contemplated by Section 3.3, may elect to receive such Share Consideration (other than the CVR Note) in the form of Parent Shares or Parent ADSs. The Company Shareholder or Company RSU Holder may also choose to make no election, in which case if they receive Share Consideration, they will be deemed to have elected Parent Shares;

(c)

the elections provided for in Section 3.2(a) and Section 3.2(b) shall be made by a Company Shareholder or Company RSU Holder by depositing with the Depositary, prior to the Election Deadline, a duly completed Letter of Transmittal and Election Form indicating such Company Shareholder’s or Company RSU Holder’s elections, together with certificates (if any) representing such Shareholder’s Company Shares or Company RSUs;

(b)

if the aggregate cash consideration that would otherwise be payable to satisfy the consideration payable to Company Shareholders who have elected the Cash Alternative (the “Cash Electing Shareholders”) exceeds the Maximum Aggregate Cash Consideration, the amount of cash consideration payable to the Cash Electing Shareholders shall be limited to the Maximum Aggregate Cash Consideration and shall be allocated pro rata (on a per Company Share basis) among such Cash Electing Shareholders, and each such Cash Electing Shareholder shall receive Parent Shares as consideration for the balance of the Cash Consideration otherwise payable to it which exceeds the amount of cash so allocated to the Cash Electing Shareholder (calculated by valuing each Parent Share at the Parent Share Price).

3.4

Entitlement to Cash Consideration

In any case where the aggregate cash consideration payable to a particular Company Shareholder under the Arrangement would, but for this provision, include a fraction of a cent, the consideration payable shall be rounded to the nearest whole cent.

3.5

No Fractional Securities

In no event shall any Company Shareholder be entitled to a fractional Parent Security. Where the aggregate number of Parent Securities to be issued to a Company Shareholder as consideration under the Arrangement would result in a fraction of a Parent Security being issuable, the number of Parent Securities to be received by such Company Shareholder shall be rounded to the nearest whole Parent Security (with fractions equal to or greater than one half of one Parent Security being rounded up). For greater certainty, no other consideration will be paid or issued to a Company Shareholder in lieu of the issuance of any such fractional Parent Security.

Article 4

Dissent Rights

4.1

Dissent Rights

(a)

Each registered Company Shareholder as of the record date for the Company Meeting may exercise rights of dissent (“Dissent Rights”) with respect to Company Shares held by such Company Shareholder pursuant to Section 193 of the YBCA, as modified by the Interim Order and this Section 4.1(a); provided that, notwithstanding subsection 193(5) of the YBCA, the written objection to the Arrangement Resolution referred to in subsection 193(5) of the YBCA must be received by the Company not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time) two Business Days immediately preceding the date of the Company Meeting (as it may be adjourned or postponed from time to time). Dissenting Shareholders who:

(i)

are ultimately entitled to be paid by Purchaser fair value for their Dissent Shares, shall be deemed to have transferred such Dissent Shares (without any further authorization, act or formality and free and clear of any Liens) to Purchaser in accordance with Section 3.1(b) as of the time prescribed in Section 3.1(b) at the fair value of the Dissent Shares, which fair value, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the YBCA, shall be determined as of the Effective Time; or

(ii)

are ultimately not entitled, for any reason, to be paid by Purchaser fair value for their Dissent Shares, shall be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement in respect of those Company Shares on the same basis as a non-dissenting Company Shareholder and shall be deemed to have elected to receive, and shall receive, the consideration set forth in Section 3.2(e).

(b)

In no event shall Parent, Purchaser, Company, the Depositary or any other person be required to recognize a Dissenting Shareholder as a registered or beneficial owner of Company Shares or any interest therein (other than the rights set out in this Section 4.1) at or after the Effective Time, and at the Effective Time the names of such Dissenting Shareholders shall be deleted from the central securities register of Company as at the Effective Time.

(c)

For greater certainty, in addition to any other restrictions in the Interim Order, no person shall be entitled to exercise Dissent Rights with respect to Company Shares in respect of which a person has voted or has instructed a proxyholder to vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution.

Article 5

Exchange of Certificates and Delivery of Cash

5.1

Certificates and Payments

(a)

Following receipt of the Final Order and prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deliver or arrange to be delivered to the Depositary the Consideration, including customary evidence representing the Parent Securities required to be issued to the Company Shareholders in accordance with Section 3.1(e) hereof, which Parent Security evidence shall be held by the Depositary as agent and nominee for such former Company Shareholders for distribution to such former Company Shareholders in accordance with the provisions of Article 5 hereof.

(b)

Upon surrender to the Depositary for cancellation of a certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Company Shares that were transferred pursuant to Section 3.1(e), together with a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal and Election Form and such additional documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require, the Company Shareholder represented by such surrendered certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and the Depositary shall deliver to such Company Shareholder, the Consideration which such Company Shareholder has the right to receive under the Arrangement for such Company Shares and any certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Company RSU Holder, in his, her or its capacity as such, shall not be obligated to deposit certificates representing the underlying Company Shares (including those received pursuant to Section 3.1(d)) in order to receive the Consideration which such Company RSU Holder has the right to receive under the Arrangement for such Company Shares if certificates representing such Common Shares have not been issued (and the Letter of Transmittal and Election Form shall provide for same).

(c)

Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 5.1, each certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented Company Shares shall be deemed after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Consideration to which the holder is entitled to receive in lieu of such certificate as contemplated in this Section 5.1. Any such certificate formerly representing Company Shares not duly surrendered on or before the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date shall cease to represent a claim by or interest of any former holder of Company Shares of any kind or nature against or in Parent, Purchaser or Company. On such date, all Consideration to which such former holder was entitled shall be deemed to have been surrendered and forfeited to Purchaser.

(d)

Any payment made by way of cheque by the Depositary pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement that has not been deposited or has been returned to the Depositary or that otherwise remains unclaimed, in each case, on or before the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, and any right or claim to payment hereunder that remains outstanding on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time shall cease to represent a right or claim of any kind or nature and the right of any Company Shareholder to receive the Consideration for Company Shares pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement shall terminate and be deemed to be surrendered and forfeited to Purchaser.

(e)

In the event any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more outstanding Company Shares that were transferred pursuant to Section 3.1(e) shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Depositary will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the Consideration deliverable in accordance with such holder’s Letter of Transmittal and Election Form. When authorizing such payment in exchange for any lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the Person to whom such cash is to be delivered shall as a condition precedent to the delivery of such cash, give a bond satisfactory to Parent and the Depositary (acting reasonably) in such sum as Parent may direct, or otherwise indemnify Parent and Company in a manner satisfactory to Parent and Company, acting reasonably, against any claim that may be made against Parent, Purchaser and Company with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

(f)

Parent, Purchaser, Company or the Depositary shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount payable to any Person under the Plan of Arrangement, such amounts as Parent, Purchaser, Company or the Depositary are required to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment under the Tax Act, the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any provision of any other Law (a “Withholding Obligation”). To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes hereof as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such withholding was made, provided that such amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. Parent, Purchaser, Company or the Depositary shall also have the right to withhold such number of Parent Securities otherwise issuable to such Person pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement as would be necessary to produce sale proceeds (after deducting reasonable commissions payable to the broker and other reasonable costs and expenses) sufficient to fund any Withholding Obligation in respect of such Person; provided that no sales of any such Parent Shares shall occur in the United States or any other jurisdiction in which such sales are not permitted under applicable Law.

(g)

Any exchange or transfer of Company Shares pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement shall be free and clear of any Liens or other claims of third parties of any kind.

(h)

No dividend or other distribution declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to Parent Shares with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered certificate that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented outstanding Company Shares unless and until the holder of such certificate shall have complied with the provisions of this Section 5.1. Subject to applicable Law and to this Section 5.1, at the time of such compliance, there shall, in addition to the delivery of Consideration to which such holder is thereby entitled, be delivered to such holder, without interest, the amount of the dividend or other distribution with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such Parent Shares.

5.2

Illegality of Delivery of Parent Securities or CVR Notes

(a)

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Parent reasonably believes that it would be contrary to applicable Law to issue Parent Securities or CVR Notes pursuant to the Arrangement to a Company Shareholder, the Parent Securities or CVR Notes (as applicable) that otherwise would be issued to that person will be issued to the Depositary for sale by the Depositary on behalf of that person; provided that if Parent ADSs would otherwise have been issued to such person, then Parent Shares rather than Parent ADSs will be issued to the Depositary for sale in accordance with the foregoing. The Parent Shares or CVR Notes (as applicable) so issued to the Depositary will be pooled and sold as soon as practicable after the Effective Date, on such dates and at such prices as Parent determines in its sole discretion, acting reasonably and in good faith, provided that no sales of any such Parent Shares or CVR Notes shall occur in the United States or any other jurisdiction in which such sales are not permitted under applicable Laws. The Depositary and Parent shall not be obligated to seek or obtain a minimum price for any of the Parent Shares or CVR Notes (as applicable) sold by it. Each such person will receive a pro rata share of the cash proceeds from the sale of the Parent Shares or CVR Notes (as applicable) sold by the Depositary (less commissions, other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the sale of the Parent Shares or CVR Notes (as applicable) and any amount withheld in respect of Taxes) in lieu of the Parent Securities or CVR Notes (as applicable) that such person would otherwise have received. The net proceeds will be remitted in the same manner as other payments pursuant to this Article 5. None of the Company, Purchaser, Parent or the Depositary will be liable for any loss arising out of any such sales.

A person (a transmittee) who establishes to the satisfaction of the Issuer Board that the right to any CVR Notes has devolved on the transmittee by will or by operation of law may be registered as a holder in respect of the CVR Notes or may (subject to the provisions of the Terms of Issue relating to transfers) transfer the CVR Notes.

Non-resident CVR Noteholders

(a)

to receive payment of the Redemption Amount for each of those CVR Notes; and

to receive payment of any other amount under or in respect of those CVR Notes,

that all necessary Authorisations are obtained or made, and all other applicable regulatory requirements are satisfied, at the cost of the CVR Noteholder.

Indemnity to the Issuer

the non-payment of any income Tax or other Tax payable by a CVR Noteholder;

(c)

the non-payment of any stamp or other duty by the legal personal representatives of a CVR Noteholder or his estate; or

(d)

any other act or thing in relation to a CVR Note or a CVR Noteholder,

any law for the time being of any other country or place, in respect of that CVR Note, imposes or purports to impose any liability of any nature whatever on the Issuer to make any payments to any Government Agency, the Issuer will in respect of that liability be indemnified by that CVR Noteholder and the CVR Noteholder’s legal personal representatives and any monies paid by the Issuer in respect of that liability may be recovered by action from that CVR Noteholder and/or the CVR Noteholder’s legal personal representatives as a debt due to the Issuer and the Issuer will have a lien in respect of those monies upon the CVR Notes held by that CVR Noteholder or his legal personal representatives and upon the Redemption Amount payable in respect thereof.

Nothing in this clause 10 will prejudice or affect any right or remedy which any such law may confer or purport to confer on the Issuer.

11.

Deceased or Insolvent CVR Noteholders

The legal personal representatives of a deceased CVR Noteholder (not being one of joint CVR Noteholders) will be the only persons recognised by the Issuer as having any title to that CVR Noteholder’s CVR Notes. Any person becoming entitled to CVR Notes in consequence of the death or liquidation of any CVR Noteholder may, on producing such evidence of that person’s title as the Note Trustee thinks sufficient, be registered as the holder of the CVR Notes or, subject to the preceding clauses relating to transfer, may transfer those CVR Notes. The Note Trustee will be at liberty to retain the principal and interest and any other monies payable in respect of any CVR Notes which any person under this clause is entitled to or to transfer until such person is registered or has duly transferred the CVR Notes in accordance with these Terms of Issue.

page 32

12.

(a)

Subject to the Deed and these Terms of Issue, the Issuer and the Note Trustee will recognise only the CVR Noteholder whose name appears in the register as the absolute owner of the CVR Note in respect of which the CVR Noteholder is entered in the Register, and the Issuer and Note Trustee may act accordingly. The Issuer will not, except as provided by the Deed and these Terms of Issue or as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or as by statute required, be bound to take notice of or see to the executions of any trust or equity to which a CVR Note may be subject or otherwise affecting the ownership of a CVR Note or rights incidental thereto. The receipt of a CVR Noteholder or one of the joint CVR Noteholders of any monies payable upon the redemption of a CVR Note will be a good discharge to the Issuer despite any notice the Issuer may have, whether express or otherwise, of the right , title or interest of any person to or in that CVR Note or monies. No details of any such equity or trust, express or implied, will be entered in any Register.

(b)

No person who has previously been registered as the owner of a CVR Note has or is entitled to assert against the Issuer, the Note Trustee or the registered owner of that CVR Note for the time being and from time-to-time any rights, benefits or entitlements in respect of any CVR Notes.
