(35) CONSEQUENCES OF DEFAULT

(a) If a Default occurs, then:

(I) the Defaulting Shareholder is not permitted to vote at any Shareholder Meetings until the Default is rectified; and

(II) the Defaulting Shareholder will remain bound by its confidentiality obligations under this Agreement; and

(III) the Defaulting Shareholder hereby indemnifies and keeps indemnified the Company and all other Shareholders (each individually referred to in this clause as an "Other Party") against any loss, liability, costs and expenses which the Other Party incurs as a direct result of the Default; and

(IV) any Other Party may serve a notice on the Defaulting Shareholder demanding that the Default is rectified ("Notice").

(b) In the event that an Other Party serves a Notice on the Defaulting Shareholder under the preceding sub-clause hereof, and the Default is not rectified within ten (10) Business Days of the service of the Notice, or in the event that the Default cannot be rectified, the Defaulting Shareholder irrevocably appoints the Company and each Director of the Company from time to time severally to be the Defaulting Shareholder's attorney ("Attorney") in order to:

(I) sell all of the Defaulting Shareholder's Shares in the Company; and

(II) take all actions necessary to give effect to such sale; and

(III) execute under hand or under seal, whether conditionally or unconditionally, in any place selected by the Attorney, an instrument of transfer in relation to the Shares, and any other document(s) which are reasonably required in order to give effect to such sale of Shares; and

(IV) undertake the following procedure (including by executing under hand or under seal, whether conditionally or unconditionally, in any place selected by the Attorney, a "Share Transfer Notice", as described in the sub-clauses below) in order to facilitate the sale of the Defaulting Shareholder's Shares:

(A) within ten (10) Business Days of the Attorney(s) being appointed to the Defaulting Shareholder (or within such other time as the Attorney(s) reasonably determine), the Attorney(s) must request a qualified auditor to determine the fair market value of the Defaulting Shareholder's Shares ("Default Share Price"); and

(B) upon obtaining the fair market value of the Defaulting Shareholder's Shares, the Attorney(s) must provide a notice to each other Shareholder ("Share Transfer Notice") which:

(1) states that the Attorney(s) are transferring the Defaulting Shareholder's said Share(s) ("the Transferring Shares"); and

(2) confirms the number of Shares that are being transferred from the Defaulting Shareholder; and

(3) states the Default Share Price and confirms that the said Attorney(s) propose to sell the said Shares for the Default Share Price.

(C) Upon receipt of a valid Share Transfer Notice, any Shareholder other than the Defaulting Shareholder ("the Purchasing Shareholder") may, within one (1) month of having received the Share Transfer Notice, serve a notice on the Attorney(s) ("Share Purchase Notice") which:

(1) states that the Purchasing Shareholder wishes to purchase some or all of the Transferring Shares from the Defaulting Shareholder; and

(2) confirms the number of Shares that the Purchasing Shareholder wishes to purchase from the Defaulting Shareholder; and

(3) confirms that the Purchasing Shareholder is willing to pay the Default Share Price for the Shares.

(D) In the event that the Purchasing Shareholder's proposed purchase of Shares from the Defaulting Shareholder will cause a contravention of the Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act 1975 (Commonwealth) ("the FAAT Act"), then that Purchasing Shareholder's Share Purchase Notice will not be valid and the proposed purchase of shares by that Purchasing Shareholder will not be permitted under this Agreement.

(E) In the event that:

(1) the Purchasing Shareholder's proposed purchase of Shares from the Defaulting Shareholder will not cause a contravention of the FAAT Act; and

(2) no other Shareholder also serves a valid Share Purchase Notice on the Attorney(s); and

(3) the Purchasing Shareholder's Share Purchase Notice confirms that the Purchasing Shareholder is willing to purchase all of the Transferring Shares;

then the Attorney(s), on behalf of the Defaulting Shareholder, must sell and the Purchasing Shareholder must purchase all of the Transferring Shares for the Default Share Price.

(F) In the event that:

(1) two or more Purchasing Shareholders serve valid Share Purchase Notices on the Attorney(s); and

(2) each Purchasing Shareholder's proposed purchase of Shares from the Defaulting Shareholder will not cause a contravention of the FAAT Act; and

(3) the total number of Shares that the Purchasing Shareholders cumulatively propose in their respective Share Purchase Notices to purchase, is no less than the number of Transferring Shares;

then the Attorney(s), on behalf of the Defaulting Shareholder must sell and the Purchasing Shareholders must purchase the Transferring Shares for the Default Share Price.

(G) In the event that the Transferring Shares are to be transferred to two or more Purchasing Shareholders in accordance with the preceding sub-clause hereof, then the Purchasing Shareholders shall each respectively purchase:

(1) such proportion of Shares as agreed between the Purchasing Shareholders and the Attorney(s); or

(2) in the event that the Purchasing Shareholders and Attorney(s) cannot reach an agreement under the preceding sub-clause hereof, then each Purchasing Shareholder shall respectively purchase a proportion of the Transferring Shares that is equal to the proportion of Shares that the Purchasing Shareholder held at the date that the Attorney(s) served the Share Transfer Notice ("the Share Proportions").

(H) In the event that the Transferring Shares are to be transferred to two or more Purchasing Shareholders in accordance with this Agreement, and one of those Purchasing Shareholders fails to complete the purchase of the Shares that it is required to purchase under this clause, then within ten (10) Business Days of the said failure to complete:

(1) the Attorney(s) will offer those Shares which are the subject of the said failure to complete ("the Leftover Shares") to the other Purchasing Shareholders, at the Default Share Price, in such proportions as agreed between the Purchasing Shareholders and the Attorney(s); or

(2) in the event that the Purchasing Shareholders and Attorney(s) cannot reach an agreement under the preceding sub-clause hereof, then the Attorney(s) will offer the Leftover Shares to the other Purchasing Shareholders, at the Default Share Price, in the Share Proportions.

(I) In the event that the Attorney(s) make an offer to sell the Leftover Shares under the preceding sub-clauses hereof, then the Purchasing Shareholders will have a further ten (10) Business Days, from the date of the said offer to sell the Leftover Shares, to accept the said offer ("the Offer Period").

(J) In the event that the sale of some or all of the Transferring Shares is not accepted by the Purchasing Shareholders within the Offer Period, then:

(1) the Attorney(s), on behalf of the Defaulting Shareholder, may rescind all other agreements to sell Shares to the Purchasing Shareholders under this clause; and

(2) the Attorney(s), on behalf of the Defaulting Shareholder, will not be obliged to sell any of the Transferring Shares to any of the Purchasing Shareholders under this clause; and

(3) the Defaulting Shareholder, or the Attorney(s) on behalf of the Defaulting Shareholder, will have no liability to any Purchasing Shareholder who was proposing to purchase Shares under this clause but whose agreement to purchase those said Shares was rescinded by the Attorney(s) on behalf of the Defaulting Shareholder under the preceding sub-clause hereof; and

(4) in the alternative, the Attorney(s) on behalf of the Defaulting Shareholder may sell the Leftover Shares to any other person or entity, for no less than the Default Share Price, within one (1) month of the expiration of the Offer Period.

(K) Notwithstanding the preceding sub-clauses hereof, in the event that:

(1) the Attorney(s) (on behalf of the Defaulting Shareholder), acting in good faith, follow the procedures set out in this clause in order to offer the Transferring Shares to the other Shareholders; and

(2) no agreement is reached between the Attorney(s) (on behalf of the Defaulting Shareholder) and any other Shareholder within the time periods set out in this clause (through no fault of the Attorney(s) or of the Defaulting Shareholder);

then the Attorney(s) on behalf of the Defaulting Shareholder may, within three (3) months of the date that the Attorney(s) served the Share Transfer Notice, sell the Shares to any other person or entity, for no less than the Default Share Price.

(L) Any transfer of Shares under this clause must be an unencumbered transfer of Shares, unless otherwise expressly agreed between the parties to that said transfer.

(M) Any transfer of Shares under this clause will occur at the registered office of the Company.

(N) Any transfer of Shares from the Defaulting Shareholder to one or more Purchasing Shareholders under this clause will occur at 12pm on the date which is two (2) months after the date that the Attorney(s) served the Share Transfer Notice, or such other date as is agreed between the Attorney(s) and the Purchasing Shareholder(s).

(O) In the event that the Attorney(s) follow the procedures set out in this clause, but the Defaulting Shareholder remains the owner of some or all of the Shares in the Company on the date which is three (3) months after the date that the Attorney(s) served the Share Transfer Notice ("the End Date"), then:

(1) the Company may, within one (1) month of the End Date, buy back some or all of the Defaulting Shareholder's Shares, at the Default Share Price ("Buy Back"); and

(2) in the event that a Buy Back occurs in relation to some or all of the Defaulting Shareholder's Shares under the preceding sub-clause hereof, the Company must notify all of the Shareholders ("Notification"), within ten (10) Business Days of the End Date, how many Shares the Company is buying back; and

(3) in the event that the Company serves a Notification on the Shareholders under the preceding sub-clause hereof:

(a) the completion of the Buy Back is subject to approval by the Shareholders (other than the Defaulting Shareholder) of the terms of the Buy Back; and

(b) the Shareholders must make all reasonable efforts and must execute any necessary documents in order to:

(I) consider and approve the terms of the agreement for the Buy Back in accordance with the Corporations Act; and

(II) if required, pass a Shareholders resolution at a general meeting of the Company which supports the Buy Back; and

(III) ensure that the Company complies with all procedural requirements and any requirements under the Corporations Act in relation to the Buy Back and in relation to any general meeting of the company which is convened in relation to the Buy Back; and

(IV) if required, convene a general meeting of the Shareholders of the Company, in accordance with the Corporations Act; and
