43.

Events of Default

Each of the following is a default event:

(being an Unpaid Monies Default Event); or

43.2

a Shareholder breaches or fails to comply with any of its material obligations under this agreement (other than an Unpaid Monies Default Event) or any other Transaction Document;

43.3

a Shareholder suffers a Change in Control without the prior written consent of the other Shareholders (which must not be unreasonably withheld); or

43.4

a Distress Event occurs in respect of a Shareholder,

(each of the events referred to in clauses 43.2 to 43.4 being a Breach Default Event).

44.

Unpaid Monies Default Event

44.1

If an Unpaid Monies Default Event occurs, the Company must promptly give to the Defaulting Shareholder a notice to remedy the default within 14 days (Non-payment Notice).

44.2

If the Defaulting Shareholder fails to comply with the Non-payment Notice, the Company must promptly give notice of such failure (Unpaid Monies Default Notice) to the other Shareholders (each a Non-Defaulting Shareholder).

44.3

A Non-Defaulting Shareholder who receives an Unpaid Monies Default Notice has the right at any time after receipt of the notice (and before the Unpaid Monies Default Event is remedied) to pay to the Company all or part of Unpaid Monies referred to in the Unpaid Monies Default Notice in place of the Defaulting Shareholder (Paid Monies). A Non-Defaulting Shareholder who makes such a payment of Paid Monies is referred to in this agreement as a Paying Party. If Non-Defaulting Shareholders make such payments in excess of the Unpaid Monies, such payments will be refunded in a manner determined by the Board with the intent that such contributions will not exceed the Unpaid Monies and each Paying Party’s contribution reflects insofar as reasonably practicable its Shareholder Proportion (calculated excluding Shares held by the Defaulting Shareholder).

44.4

Interest payable by a Defaulting Shareholder on Paid Monies will accrue to the Paying Party rather than to the Company.

44.5

A Defaulting Shareholder may pay Unpaid Monies to the Company and/or Paid Monies to the relevant Paying Party (as the case may be) at any time and the Company and/or the Paying Parties may pursue recovery of outstanding Unpaid Monies or Paid Monies against the Defaulting Shareholder at any time.

44.6

Where a Non-Defaulting Shareholder has an aggregate balance of Paid Monies owed to it by a Defaulting Shareholder equal to or exceeding $2,000,000 (including accrued but unpaid interest) (Debt Balance) in circumstances where there are only two Shareholders:

(a)

the Non-Defaulting Shareholder may elect by notice in writing to the Company to convert the whole (but not part) of that debt into additional equity in the Company (the effect of which will be to dilute the Defaulting Shareholder’s equity) at Discounted Fair Value (and on such other terms as the Board may reasonably determine); and

(b)

upon such conversion taking effect, the Debt Balance will be extinguished.

45.

Breach Default Event

If a Breach Default Event occurs and the Breach Default Event is capable of remedy, a Non-Defaulting Shareholder may at any time serve a written notice on the Defaulting Shareholder specifying the nature of the Breach Default Event and requiring the Defaulting Shareholder to remedy the default within 45 days of its receipt of the notice of default.

46.

Effect of default

If:

46.1

a Breach Default Event occurs in relation to a Shareholder and the Defaulting Shareholder fails to remedy the Breach Default Event in accordance with this agreement;

46.2

a Breach Default Event occurs which is incapable of remedy; or

46.3

an Unpaid Monies Default Event occurs, which remains unremedied 180 days after the relevant Due Date,

then despite any other provision of this agreement, the following will be effected:

46.4

the right of the Defaulting Shareholder to appoint one or more Directors to the Board (if any) and the rights of any Director previously appointed by the Defaulting Shareholder (including the right to attend or vote (or both) at a meeting of the Board) will be suspended until the default is remedied;

46.5

without limiting any of the foregoing, all voting rights attaching to the Shares held by the Defaulting Shareholder will be suspended until the default is remedied; and

46.6

a Trigger Event will be deemed to occur in respect of the Defaulting Shareholder.

47.

Non-limitation

The rights of any Non-Defaulting Shareholder on the occurrence of an Event of Default by a Defaulting Shareholder under this Part are without limitation to any other rights or remedies that may be available to the Non-Defaulting Shareholder as a result of the Event of Default.

48.

Effect of Trigger Event

48.1

If there is a Trigger Event in respect of a Shareholder (Disposing Shareholder) then, unless all of the other Shareholders agree otherwise, the Disposing Shareholder will be deemed to have given a Transfer Notice to the Company under Schedule 2 in respect of all its Shares on the day the Company becomes aware of the Trigger Event and the Sale Price for those Shares for the purpose of Schedule 2 will be the Discounted Fair Value of those Shares.

48.2

Where a Transfer Notice is deemed to have been given pursuant to clause 48.1, the provisions of Schedule 2 will apply with all necessary changes to effect a transfer of the relevant Shares at the Discounted Fair Value, except that the Disposing Shareholder is not entitled to withdraw the Transfer Notice following the Valuer’s certification of the Fair Value of those Shares.

48.3

Any Director appointed by a Shareholder who is not the subject of a Trigger Event will be permitted to exercise any power granted by the Disposing Shareholder pursuant to clause 49 for the purpose of effecting a transaction contemplated by this clause 48.

49.5

Each appointor agrees to indemnify the attorney against any claim, arising directly or indirectly from the attorney’s lawful exercise of a power under that appointment.

Schedule 2 - Dealing with Shares

Notice of transfer

Subject to Part 12 of this agreement, a Shareholder who intends to Dispose of any Shares (Seller) must give notice in writing (Transfer Notice) to the Company, setting out full details of the proposal, including the number of Shares that the Seller wishes to Dispose of (Transfer Shares), the name of any third party offeror and the proposed price at which it wishes to Dispose of the Transfer Shares.

Date of notice given

The Company must, within five Business Days after receipt of a Transfer Notice, notify all Shareholders (other than the Seller) that it has received a Transfer Notice and the details set out in the Transfer Notice.

Terms of transfer

The Transfer Notice will be deemed, subject to paragraph 5 of this Schedule, to irrevocably appoint the Company as the agent of the Seller for the sale of the Transfer Shares to Shareholders in accordance with this Schedule at the following price (Sale Price):

3.1

where a third party has made a bona fide offer to purchase the Transfer Shares for a fixed price payable in cash on completion of the purchase, at the price that the third party has offered to pay to the Seller for the purchase of the Transfer Shares; or

3.2

where there is no such offer:

(a)

unless paragraph (b) applies, at the price nominated by the Seller in the Transfer Notice; or

(b)

if within 5 Business Days after being advised by the Company of the fact that it has received a Transfer Notice any other Shareholder provides a written notice to the Board requesting that the Company obtain an independent valuation of the Transfer Shares, at the Fair Value of the Transfer Shares as determined in accordance with paragraph 12 of this Schedule.

Independent valuation of Shares

Where the Company receives a request to obtain an independent valuation of the Transfer Shares under paragraph 12 or paragraph 3.2(b) of this Schedule, the Company must:

4.1

as soon as practicable, and not later than 20 Business Days after receipt by the Company of the request, procure a valuation of the Transfer Shares in accordance with paragraph 12 of this Schedule; and

4.2

notify each Shareholder of the Fair Value within three Business Days after being notified of the Fair Value by the Valuer.

Seller can withdraw Transfer Notice

5.1

Within three Business Days after receiving notification of the Fair Value, the Seller may notify the Company that the Transfer Notice is withdrawn except where a Trigger Event has, or is deemed to have, occurred.

5.2

If the Seller wishes to withdraw the Transfer Notice in accordance with paragraph 5.1 of this Schedule, it must notify the Company in writing of that decision in which case:

(a)

from the time of receipt of the written notice, the Company ceases to be the Seller’s agent for the sale of the Transfer Shares; and

(b)

the Seller must meet the cost of the Valuer in valuing the Transfer Shares in accordance with paragraph 12 of this Schedule.

Cost of independent valuation of Shares

If the Seller does not withdraw the Transfer Notice, the cost of the Valuer in valuing the Transfer Shares must be met as to one half by the Seller and as to the other half by the Shareholder or the Shareholders accepting the offer, and, if more than one, proportionately to the number of Transfer Shares ultimately acquired. If no Transfer Shares are acquired by a Shareholder, the Seller must meet the total cost of the Valuer.

Offer to other Shareholders

Promptly following determination of the price of the Transfer Shares, and subject to the Transfer Notice not being withdrawn, the Board must, on behalf of the Seller, offer for sale to each Shareholder other than the Seller (Recipient) that number of the Transfer Shares as is determined by applying the following formula (Offer):

where:

A =

the number of Transfer Shares offered to a Recipient, which number may be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number at the discretion of the Board if “A” is not a whole number;

B =

the total number of all Transfer Shares;

C =

the number of Shares held by that Recipient on the date of the Offer; and

D =

the total number of Shares held by all Recipients on the date of the Offer.

Each Offer must specify the Sale Price and be on the same terms.

Acceptance of Offers

8.1

On or within 30 days after receipt of the Offers, each Recipient must notify the Board whether it accepts or rejects its Offer. An Offer can only be accepted or rejected in full. A Recipient may also notify the Board that it wishes to acquire additional Transfer Shares if they are available and in doing so must specify the maximum number of additional Transfer Shares it wishes to acquire (Excess Request).

8.2

If a Recipient fails to notify the Board of its acceptance or rejection of the Offer within the period set out in paragraph 8.1 of this Schedule, that Recipient is taken to have rejected the Offer.

8.3

If not all Recipients accept their Offers and one or more Recipients has made an Excess Request, the Board must allocate the unaccepted Transfer Shares to the Recipients who made Excess Requests, pro-rata based on the relative number of Shares held by each of them and up to the maximum specified in each Excess Request.

8.4

If a Recipient accepts its Offer, the Seller must sell free from Encumbrances, and the accepting Recipient (Accepting Shareholder) must purchase, the total number of Transfer Shares contained in that Offer (and any additional Transfer Shares allocated by the Board in respect of an Excess Request made by the Accepting Shareholder) on the terms specified in the Offer.

Time and place of completion

Completion of the sale of those Transfer Shares in respect of which an Offer has been accepted (and in respect of which allocations have been made by the Board pursuant to an Excess Request) must take place:

9.1

within 10 Business Days after the date by which Offers must be accepted under paragraph 8 of this Schedule; or

9.2

at a time and place to be agreed by the Seller and the Recipient or failing agreement, at the registered office of the Company at 10am on the next Business Day after expiry of the relevant period stated in paragraph 9.1 of this Schedule.

10.

Transfer to External Transferee

10.1

Subject to clause 39 of this agreement and paragraph 10.2 of this Schedule:

(a)

where a Shareholder has given or is taken to have given a Transfer Notice for the purposes of this Schedule; and

(b)

after Offers have been made, there are still Transfer Shares that have not been Disposed of as not all of the Offers were accepted within the period set out in paragraph 8.1 of this Schedule (and there were insufficient Excess Requests to cover the shortfall),

the Seller may, at any time before the expiry of 90 days after the Offers were issued under paragraph 7 of this Schedule, sell the unsold Transfer Shares to any person who is not a Shareholder (External Transferee) at a price and on terms no more favourable to the External Transferee than those offered to the Recipients.

10.2

Where the Seller wishes to transfer the Transfer Shares to an External Transferee, a transfer will not be effective unless the External Transferee:

(a)

enters into and delivers to each Shareholder and the Company a Deed of Accession; and

(b)

is, in the reasonable opinion of the Shareholders (other than the Seller), of good standing, financial substance and reputation.

11.

Obligations of Buyer and Seller at completion

At completion of any transfer of Shares under this agreement:

11.1

each transferee (Buyer) must pay to the Seller the Sale Price for those Shares in full; and

11.2

the Seller must deliver to each Buyer:

(a)

releases of any Security Interests over those Shares;

(b)

the certificates relating to the Shares being transferred; and

(c)

a transfer form for those Shares, duly executed by the Seller in favour of the Buyer and in registrable form.

12.

Independent valuation

12.1

This paragraph 12 applies if the Board is required to obtain a valuation of Shares.

12.2

If this paragraph applies, the Board must appoint a Valuer to determine the value of each Share in accordance with this clause.

12.3

If the Board fails to agree, the Valuer will be appointed by the chair of the Resolution Institute (ABN 69 008 651 232).

12.4

The Valuer must be instructed to determine the fair market value of the Shares by valuing the Company as a whole on a going concern basis as at the end of the month before the month in which the Valuer is appointed under this clause (Valuation Date). The fair market value of each Share will be the proportionate amount of the value of the Company, without any regard to any premium for control.

12.5

The Board must ensure that the Valuer has a right of access at all reasonable times to the accounting records and other records of the Company and is entitled to require from any officer of the Company such information and explanation as the Valuer requires to value the Company.

12.6

The Board must use its reasonable endeavours to ensure that the Valuer decides as soon as practicable and in any event within 15 Business Days after receiving instructions.

12.7

The parties agree that, in determining a value for the Shares under this clause, the Valuer:

(a)

will act as an expert and not as an arbitrator;

(b)

may obtain or refer to any documents, information or material and undertake any inspections or enquiries as they determine appropriate;

(c)

must provide the parties with a draft of their determination and must give the parties an opportunity to comment on the draft determination before it is finalised; and

(d)

may engage such assistance as they reasonably believe is appropriate or necessary to decide.

12.8

The Valuer’s determination will be final and binding on the parties.

12.9

The costs of the Valuer’s determination will be borne by the Company, except as otherwise specified in this agreement or determined by the Valuer.

2.1

During the FID Development Period, the Shareholders and the Company will work exclusively together for the purpose of progressing Stage 1 of the Project in accordance with the Development Approval to the point where Stage 1 is FID Capable (Stage 1 Objective). For the avoidance of doubt, this does not prevent VSA or the CSP Project Entity (defined in SC 12.2) from also progressing activities in connection with Stage 2 of the Project and 14D from also progressing activities in connection with Stage 4 of the Project.

2.2

During the FID Development Period:

(a)

14D will undertake the role of project manager for Stage 1 on behalf of the Company and will be responsible for liaising with community, stakeholders and other third parties, and engaging service providers, on behalf of (and in the name of) the Company in relation to the Project in accordance with the FID Activity Matrix and the FID Development Budget and otherwise as directed by the Board;

(b)

14D will undertake company secretariat, accounting and administrative functions for and on behalf of the Company;

(e)

the Shareholders will contribute to and co-fund the activities in relation to the Stage 1 in accordance with this agreement.

3.            FID Development Activities

During the FID Development Period, the Shareholders will pursue the Stage 1 Objective by undertaking the activities relating to Stage 1 of the Project as generally depicted in the FID Activity Matrix (Appendix B), or otherwise as agreed by Unanimous Resolution of the Board (FID Development Activities).

3.2

The FID Development Activities will include (but are not limited to):

(a)

finalizing any required development approvals for Stage 1 of the Project, with conditions acceptable to both Shareholders (acting reasonably);

(b)

finalizing any leaseholder agreements;

(c)

preparing or obtaining an environmental impact statement (if required);

(d)

agreeing on the proposed technical specifications of Stage 1 of the Project;

(e)

agreeing on an Approved Business Plan and Budget for the remainder of the development of Stage 1 of the Project (following expiry of the FID Development Period); and

(f)

ensuring the Company holds all real property and Intellectual Property Rights and other information and materials in relation to the Project.

4.            Commencement and completion

The Shareholders must commence the FID Development Activities as soon as practicable, and must use best endeavours to complete the FID Development Activities by the Target Date.

5.            Facilitate the FID Development Activities

5.1

The Shareholders must, and must cause the Company to (as applicable), promptly do all things (including giving consents and approvals, signing documents and making applications) that are reasonably necessary to facilitate the FID Development Activities, including:

(a)

sharing relevant information with the other Shareholder, including providing regular updates to, and progress against, the FID Activity Matrix and FID Development Budget;

(b)

providing the other Shareholder with reasonable access to its project team;

(c)

participating in regular Board and other project meetings and meetings with interested parties as reasonably requested as and when required;

providing in-kind resources in accordance with the FID Development Budget;

(f)

providing appropriate resourcing and notifications, as determined by the Board; and

(g)

maintaining appropriate records via the Data Room using agreed and generally accepted information management principles.

5.2

Notwithstanding any other provision of this agreement, in facilitating and carrying out the FID Development Activities and pursuing the Stage 1 Objective, no Shareholder will be required to enter into any binding agreement or other binding commitment, which may give rise to obligations in relation to Stage 1 in respect of the period beyond the time Stage 1 becomes FID Capable, unless that agreement or commitment is subject to a positive Final Investment Decision being made by that Shareholder.

6.            Commitment to the Project

Each Shareholder must:

6.1

use its best endeavours having regard to its obligations under the terms of this agreement and reasonable and prudent industry practice to achieve the Stage 1 Objective;

6.2

not unreasonably delay any action, approval, direction, determination or decision which is required of the party (including, without limitation, the Final Investment Decision);

6.3

make or give approvals, decisions and consents that are required of the party in good faith (including, without limitation, the Final Investment Decision); and

deal with the other Shareholder collaboratively and in good faith in pursuit of the Stage 1 Objective.

7.            FID Development Budget

7.1

The Shareholders have agreed an estimated budget for the FID Development Activities, as set out in the FID Development Budget (Appendix A).

7.2

The parties acknowledge that, prior to the Commencement Date, 14D has funded 100% of a payment on behalf of the Company of approximately $125,000 (exclusive of GST) to ElectraNet, which forms part of the FID Development Budget, and may fund other amounts forming part of the FID Development Budget on behalf of the Company between the date of execution of the SSPA and the Commencement Date (which amounts will be notified by 14D to VSA in writing prior to the Commencement Date) (together, the Pre-Commencement Amounts). VSA agrees to reimburse 14D on the Commencement Date for 50% of the Pre-Commencement Amounts, such that each Shareholder will thereafter be treated as having contributed 50% of the Pre-Commencement Amounts to the Company by way of Shareholder Loan.

7.3

The FID Development Budget may be amended by Unanimous Resolution of the Board as required, but on the basis that the Shareholders each commit to minimising as much additional external development expenditure as reasonably practicable.

7.4

The Shareholders acknowledge and agree there may be necessary and unforeseen expenditure in relation to the FID Development Activities and/or the FID Development Period (Unforeseen Expenditure). If Unforeseen Expenditure is required:

(a)

each Shareholder will endeavour to obtain approval from the other Shareholder before proceeding with such expenditure, and in that case; or

(b)

in the event prior approval is not possible and the expenditure is reasonable and necessary,

the Unforeseen Expenditure will be paid or reimbursed in the Shareholder Proportions. For the avoidance of doubt, Unforeseen Expenditure includes unforeseen liabilities of the Company which may arise during the FID Development Period in connection with the FID Development Activities and/or in connection with the company secretariat, accounting and administrative functions of the Company.

8.            FID Process

8.1

The Board will be responsible for determining when Stage 1 has become FID Capable. If the Board cannot agree on when Stage 1 has become FID Capable, the issue may be determined by an Expert in accordance with clause 29 of this agreement. Without limiting what may be required for Stage 1 to be FID Capable, the parties agree that completion of the following are essential in order for Stage 1 to be FID Capable:

(a)

a connection agreement being in an agreed form capable of execution between the Company and an ElectraNet entity (and potentially other parties) in relation to Stage 1 of the Project;

(b)

all material Authorisations required for commencement of construction of Stage 1 have been obtained;

the technical specifications for the initial stage of Stage 1 have been determined;

(d)

costings for Stage 1 have been obtained, and budgeted capital expenditure and operational expenditure envelopes have been determined.

8.2

On and from the date Stage 1 of the Project becomes FID Capable, each Shareholder must each use its best endeavours to make a Final Investment Decision as soon as practicable and in any event within 90 days (Decision Period). Each Shareholder must notify the other Shareholder of its Final Investment Decision as soon as practicable (and in any event within 24 hours) after it is made.

8.3

During the Decision Period, the Shareholders may agree in writing to delay the Final Investment Decision (Delay Agreement) in which case the Shareholders will proceed in accordance with the terms of the Delay Agreement.

8.4

If a Shareholder has not made and communicated a Final Investment Decision to the other Shareholder by 5pm on the last day of the Decision Period (and there is no Delay Agreement), that party will be deemed to have made a negative Final Investment Decision (ie a decision to not proceed) on the last day of the Decision Period.

9.            FID Outcomes

9.1

If, during the Decision Period, both Shareholders make a positive Final Investment Decision (ie a decision to proceed), the rest of this SC 9 will not apply.

9.2

If, during the Decision Period, both Shareholders make (or are deemed to have made) a negative Final Investment Decision (ie a decision to not proceed), then the following procedure will apply:

(a)

within 5 Business Days of notice of each Shareholder’s Final Investment Decision being notified to the other Shareholder (whichever is the later), the Escalation Representatives of each Shareholder must meet to discuss the Shareholders’ respective decisions, for the purpose of attempting to obtain a unanimous positive Final Investment Decision;

(b)

if, within 10 Business Days of the meeting of the Escalation Representatives, a unanimous positive Final Investment Decision has not been reached, then either Shareholder may offer for sale its Shares at fair market value (subject to complying with SC 11); and

(c)

if, after 6 months from the meeting of the Escalation Representatives, neither Shareholder has sold its Shares and the Shareholders remain unable to reach a unanimous positive Final Investment Decision then 14D will be entitled to make a Buyout Election. If 14D does not do so within the Buyout Period, then VSA will be entitled to make a Buyout Election.

9.3

If, during the Decision Period, one Shareholder makes a positive Final Investment Decision and the other Shareholder makes (or is deemed to have made) a negative Final Investment Decision, then the following procedure will apply:

(a)

(b)

(c)

if, after 6 months from the meeting of the Escalation Representatives, neither Shareholder has sold its Shares and the Shareholders remain unable to reach a unanimous positive Final Investment Decision then the Shareholder who has made a positive Final Investment Decision will be entitled to make a Buyout Election.

10.1

If a Shareholder (Electing Shareholder) is entitled to make a Buyout Election under these Special Conditions, the Electing Shareholder may, by notice to the other Shareholder (Non-Electing Shareholder) given within the Buyout Period, elect to purchase all of the Non-Electing Shareholder’s Shares in accordance with and on the terms set out in SC 10.2.

10.2

(e)

the Shareholders must do all other things reasonably necessary in order to pass control of, and liability for, the Company, its shares, assets and liabilities, to the Electing Shareholder; and

(f)

such other reasonable terms as the Board may determine.

10.3

VSA may elect for its rights (and those of the Guarantor) under SC 12 to survive a Buyout Election made by 14D (and completion of the transaction triggered by that Buyout Election) by paying 14D on completion of that transaction occurring under SC 10.2 (Anniversary Date) $1,000,000 (which amount may be set-off against the amount payable by 14D under SC 10.2(b)), provided that such rights will expire on the date that is 3 years after the Anniversary Date unless VSA or the CSP Project Entity (defined in SC 12.2) has commenced construction of Stage 2 of the Project before that date. If an election is not made by VSA under this SC 10.3, such rights under SC 12 will not survive completion of the Buyout Election transaction.

10.4

14D may elect for its rights under SC 13 to survive a Buyout Election made by VSA (and completion of the transaction triggered by that Buyout Election) by paying VSA on completion of that transaction occurring under SC 10.2 (Anniversary Date) $1,000,000 (which amount may be set-off against the amount payable by VSA under SC 10.2(b)), provided that such rights will expire on the date that is 3 years after the Anniversary Date unless 14D or the TESS Project Entity (defined in SC 13.2) has commenced construction of Stage 4 of the Project before that date. If an election is not made by 14D under this SC 10.4, such rights under SC 13 will not survive completion of the Buyout Election transaction.

11.1

During the FID Development Period and until completion or expiry of the FID Process, a Disposal of an exiting Shareholder’s Shares, or rights and interest in a Shareholder Loan to an External Transferee (as defined in Schedule 2 of this agreement) is not effective unless and until:
