necessary, approved), but is not limited to:














5/16/2003 4


6:55 AM6:55 AM


(a) details of:


(i) all contracts made by the contractor for the sale of that natural gas,


whether in gaseous or liquid form (together with copies thereof);


(ii) (for information purposes only) all contracts made by persons in respect


of that natural gas, whether in gaseous or liquid form, downstream of the


point at which that natural gas is to be sold by the contractor and which


are relevant to the price at which such natural gas is to be sold by the


contractor or would otherwise be relevant to the determination of the


value of that natural gas pursuant to Section 3 of this Appendix, but not


beyond the point of sale under the first arm's length transaction for sale


of that natural gas (together with copies thereof, except to the extent the


Designated Authority otherwise agrees);


(iii) (for information purposes only) all downstream facilities the costs of


which are relevant to the price at which such natural gas is to be sold by


the contractor or would otherwise be relevant to the determination of the


value of that natural gas pursuant to Section 3 of this Appendix, but not


beyond the point of sale under the first arm's length transaction for sale


of that natural gas; and


(iv) all contracts made by the contractor in respect of those downstream


facilities (together with copies thereof, except to the extent the


Designated Authority otherwise agrees);

addressing the issues mentioned in Section 2 of this Appendix; and


(d) the calculation of the economics to show the commerciality of the amendment


and of the development plan as proposed to be amended;


1.4 Concurrent with any proposal to amend die development plan, and except to the extent


previously submitted and approved, each individual contractor party shall submit for approval by


the Designated Authority a funding plan which identifies its sources of hinds for petroleum


activities, and such shall not be amended without the approval of the Designated Authority. The


Designated Authority shall not approve an amendment to the development plan unless it has


approved a funding plan for each individual contractor. Funds shall only be sourced in accordance


with an approved funding plan. If an individual contractor party (defaulting contractor) fails to


comply with the foregoing provisions of this subsection 4:


(a) it shall not be entitled to the benefit of the amendments to this contract


introduced by subsection 5 of Section 2, subsection 5 of Section 4 and subsection


8 of Section 4 of this Appendix; and











5/16/2003 5


6:5$ AM655 AM


(b) the share of petroleum to which the Designated Authority is entitled shall be


increased by such quantity as would have accrued to the defaulting contractor as


a consequence of such subsections and by reference to its undivided participating


interest but for this subsection 4;


but (unless all the individual contractor parties so fail to comply) such failure shall not otherwise


be a breach of this contract by the contractor. For the purposes of the foregoing, "undivided


participating interest" means the interest of the individual contractor party concerned as identified


in the Register of Contractors maintained under Article 38 of the Petroleum Mining Code.








SECTION 2


BAYU-UNDAN DECOMMISSIONING PLAN AND COST RESERVE


2.1 This Section shall apply only to the Bayu-Undan discovery area.


2.2 Not later than 30 September 2007, the contract operator shall submit to the Designated


Authority, for its approval, a decommissioning plan for the Bayu-Undan discovery area which


shall include, but is not limited to:


(a) measures to be taken to effect decommissioning in compliance with applicable


law, this contract and standards generally recognised from time to time as


applicable in the international petroleum industry, including but not limited to:


(i) decommissioning equipment and installations in the Joint Petroleum


Development Area;


(ii) other steps reasonably required to prevent hazard to human life, to the


property of others or to the environment; and


(iii) environmental, engineering and feasibility studies reasonably necessary


to support the plan; and


(b) estimates of the costs and time required to complete activities under the plan, and


a schedule of provisions for the purposes of the decommissioning costs reserve


(as mentioned in subsection 5 of this Section).


2.3 The decommissioning plan shall be revised and resubmitted to the Designated Authority


for its approval at such times as are reasonable having regard to the likelihood that the plan and/or


the cost estimates therefor may need material revision.


2.4 The contractor shall carry out the decommissioning plan substantially in accordance with


its terms.


2.5 A decommissioning costs reserve shall be cost recoverable by the contractor in each of


the fifteen (15) years beginning 1 January, 2008 ('decommissioning reserve period').


2.6 The decommissioning costs reserve shall be calculated by reference to the total


decommissioning costs approved by the Designated Authority pursuant to subsection 2 of this








5/16/2003 6


6:55 AM6:55 AM


Section from time to time. The decommissioning costs reserve for a year shall be determined by


the formula:


DCR = (A/(A+B))RDC, where


DCR is the decommissioning costs reserve for the year concerned


A is (by reference to the first development plan amendment) the quantity of liquid


petroleum gas and condensate forecast to be produced from the Bayu-Undan discovery


area in the year concerned


B is (by reference to the first development plan amendment) the forecast reserves of


liquid petroleum gas and condensate still to be produced from the Bayu-Undan discovery


area, in the decommissioning reserve period, at the end of that year


RDC is the remaining decommissioning costs yet to be recovered at the start of the year


in question, assuming the total cost estimates from the latest approved decommissioning


plan.


2.7 If the above formula results in a negative amount, then such amount shall be treated as a


reduction of recoverable costs for the year in question.


2.8 The contractor shall comply with, enforce and not without the approval of the Designated


Authority amend Article 20.7 or Exhibit G of the unit operating agreement, nor shall the


contractor amend the percentage value mentioned in Article 20.4 thereof^ agree an alternative


Rundown Period Commencement Date or make any decision (including through the Unit


Operating Committee) as is referred to in Exhibit G thereof and which would prejudice the value


of the rights granted the Designated Authority under subsection 9 of this Section, without the


approval of the Designated Authority. Copies of all Guarantees and Trust Deeds as mentioned in


Exhibit G will be promptly provided when executed to die Designated Authority. The contractor


shall promptly advise the Designated Authority if a party to the unit operating agreement fails to


provide or maintain a required Security (and of all material communications thereafter in relation


thereto).


2.9 The contractor agrees (and any Guarantee or Trust Deed shall provide) that the


Designated Authority will be a beneficiary of any Security as mentioned in Article 20.7.1 of the


unit operating agreement and shall be entitled to enforce the Security in accordance with that


Article if the other beneficiaries decline to do so after a request from the Designated Authority.


2.10 If any individual contractor party (defaulting contractor) fails to comply with the


provisions of subsections 8 and 9 of this Section, the defaulting contractor shall be a Defaulting


Party pursuant to Article 20.7 of the unit operating agreement but such shall not be a breach of


this contract by the contractor if the other individual contractor parties (and if and for so long as


the other individual contractor parties are diligently seeking to) enforce the provisions of Article


20.7.1 of the unit operating agreement against that defaulting contractor.


2.11 For the purposes of subsections 8, 9 and 10 of this Section, 'unit operating agreement'


means the agreement entitled Unit Operating Agreement for the Bayu-Undan Field executed on


14 July 1999 with effect from 1 April 1999, and all words and expressions defined therein shall


have the same meaning when used in those subsections.

 SECTION 3





BAYU-UNDAN NATURAL GAS VALUATION


3.1 This Section shall apply only to natural gas produced and saved from the Bayu-Undan


discovery area and not used in field activities. In this Section:


'Calculation period* means a period beginning 1 January 2002 and ending at the end of


the calendar year in ’which occurs the sixteenth (16*) anniversary of the date of


commencement of regular downstream deliveries.


'Capacity reservation charge' means, in respect of a month and, separately in respect of


each of the export pipeline and the LNG plant (each a 'facility'), an amount given by the


formula:


CRC = CC/12, where


CRC is the capacity reservation charge for a month, and


CC is given by the formula:


NCF= CC-(C+D+E), where


NCF is the net cash flow in a year of the calculation period


C, in the twelve (12) months after the fifteenth (15*) anniversary


of the date of commencement of regular downstream deliveries,


is the estimated costs of decommissioning the facility, assuming


an inflation rate of two decimal five (2.5) per cent per annum


from the date of the estimate, and otherwise is zero


D is the capital costs (being expenditures made for items which


normally have a useful life of more than one (1) year) incurred


by the owners of the facility in the year of the calculation period


for which NCF is being calculated (including, but not limited to,


feasibility and engineering costs and other costs incurred for the


purposes of designing and constructing the facility (and in the


first year, those costs incurred prior to the start of the calculation


period)), but only to the extent such are incurred in respect of the


facility before the date of commencement of regular downstream


deliveries


E is the estimated aggregate income tax payments payable by the


owners of the facility to the Commonwealth of Australia in the


year of the calculation period for which NCF is being calculated,


assuming an income tax rate of thirty (30) per cent and a fifteen


(15) year depreciation life, and otherwise in accordance with


applicable law and its application as at the date of entry into





5/16/2003 $


6:55 AM6:55AM


 force of the Treaty, and further assuming that the owners are


special purpose vehicles having no other business, and





CC is the capacity charge for each year of the calculation period


in which downstream deliveries occur, starting with the date of


commencement of regular downstream deliveries, and is


determined by iteration as follows:


NCF in each year of the calculation period is discounted





to the middle of the first year of the calculation period,


using a discount rate of eight (8) per cent and assuming


that NCF for each such year is received in the middle of


that year. NCF for the first year of the calculation period


is not discounted


CC is escalated annually at a compounding rate of two


decimal five (2.5) per cent, but is zero in the twelve (12)


months after the fifteenth (15th) anniversary of the date


of commencement of regular downstream deliveries, and


CC in the first year is that amount which, if applied in


the determination of NCF in that first year, and if that


amount escalated annually at a compounding rate of two


decimal five (2.5) per cent were the factor CC applied in


the calculation of NCF in subsequent years of the


calculation period (except in the twelve (12) months


after the fifteenth (15th) anniversary of the date of


commencement of regular downstream deliveries, when


CC is zero), would result in the sum of the NCFs


discounted at eight (8) per cent for the calculation period


being zero


The capacity reservation charge in respect of each facility and for each year





(a) shall be calculated at (and all estimates required therefor shall be calculated as at)


the date of commencement of regular downstream deliveries and will not


thereafter be changed; and


(b) shall be calculated in United States dollars, costs in other currencies being


translated to United States dollars as mentioned elsewhere in this contract


For the purposes of illustration, examples of calculations of the capacity reservation


charge are [file location to be identified].


'Date of commencement of regular downstream deliveries' means the first day after


commissioning of both the export pipeline and the LNG plant is completed and they are


ready both to take delivery of natural gas for transport and for commercial production of


liquefied natural gas.


'Downstream operating costs' means; in respect of a month and separately in respect of


each of the export pipeline and the LNG plant (each a ’facility’), an amount equal to the





5/16/2003 9


6:55 AM6:55 AM


 actual operating costs (including taxes other than taxes on income, profit or gain and


further including expenditures to maintain, repair and replace equipment necessary for


the operation of the facility) incurred by the owners of the facility in that month, but only


to the extent such are incurred on and from die date of commencement of regular


downstream deliveries in respect of die facility, but does not include:


(a) any cost or provision against the eventual costs of decommissioning the export


pipeline, the LNG plant or other downstream facilities if such costs or provisions


have been included in the calculation of the capacity reservation charge;


(b) depreciation of capital costs; and


(c) the cost of natural gas used within the LNG plant;





but does include any cost (including, but not limited to, arising from an underprovision in


the calculation of the capacity reservation charge), credit (including, but not limited to,


arising from an overprovision in the calculation of the capacity reservation charge) or


provision against the eventual costs of decommissioning the export pipeline, the LNG


plant or other downstream facilities but not to the extent any such cost or provision has


been included in the calculation of the capacity reservation charge.


'Export cost charge' means





(a) separately in respect of each of die export pipeline and the LNG plant, and in


respect of each calendar month of the period beginning on the first day of the


calendar month immediately after die date of commencement of regular


downstream deliveries and ending fifteen (15) years later, the aggregate of the


capacity reservation charge and the downstream operating costs provided that in


the first such calendar month the downstream operating costs shall include the


downstream operating costs incurred by the owners of the facility in the


preceding calendar month;


(b) separately in respect of each of the export pipeline and the LNG plant, and in





respect of each calendar month after the period mentioned in paragraph (a)


above, the tariff; and


(c) in respect of other downstream facilities, the costs incurred by the contractor in





respect thereof.


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this contract, interest or any


payment in the nature of or in lieu of interest, or borrowing costs shall not be allowed in


the computation of the export cost charge.


The export cost charge shall be payable calendar monthly in arrears.


'Export pipeline* means the pipeline from the field export point as identified in the


development plan.





'LNG plant* means the liquefied natural gas plant as identified in the development plan.








5/16/2003 10


6:55 AM6:55 AM


'Tariff' means, in respect of a month and separately in respect of each of


the export pipeline and the LNG plant ,an amount agreed by the


contractor and the respective owners thereof, and approved by the


Designated Authority, or, failing such agreement or approval, an amount


determined by an expert, all in the manner and subject as provided in the


approved contract concerned.


3.2 Natural gas shall be valued at the field export point.


3.3 The value of natural gas sold by the contractor at the field export point shall be the price


received by the contractor therefor under the approved contract.


3.4 In any month, die value of other natural gas sold by the contractor and transported by the


export pipeline shall be determined by a net back mechanism as follows:


(a) the price received by the contractor therefor under approved contracts; less


(b) the aggregate of so much of:


(i) the export cost charge in respect of the export pipeline; and


(ii) the export cost charge in respect of the LNG plant; and


(iii) the export cost charge in respect of other downstream facilities;


as is paid that month (and net of credits) by the contractor under approved


contracts; less


(c) any carried forward export cost charge; plus


(d) except to the extent taken into account in paragraph (a) of this subsection 4, all


amounts paid by the purchasers of natural gas or the owners of those downstream


facilities to the contractor in respect of the sale of that natural gas or the use of


those facilities.


3.5 In determining the value of natural gas and unless the Designated Authority otherwise


agrees, no account shall be taken of any reduction in the price received by the contractor for the


sale of natural gas under an approved contract or otherwise any reduction in the value of natural


gas, which is the result of the waiver by any person of, or the failure by any person to enforce,


any provision of any approved contract


3.6 If the value of natural gas determined in accordance with subsection 4 of this Section 3


results in a value of less than zero, during any year prior to the period of plateau production, then


the value for that month shall be deemed to be zero, and that portion of the export cost charge


which otherwise would result in the value of natural gas being less than zero shall be carried


forward and treated as a deduction in determining the value of natural gas in the next month, and


shall be referred to as the carried forward export cost charge.


3.7 Any carried forward export cost charge shall be escalated at a nominal rate of eight (8)


per cent per annum.








5/16/2003 11


6:55 AM6:55 AM


3.8 The contractor shall procure for the Designated Authority audit and information rights


from the owners of the downstream facilities, and from their respective affiliates, equivalent to


those which it has in and in respect of this contract in order to verify the value of natural gas for


the purposes of this Section. For the purposes of this subsection, ’affiliate’ shall have the same


meaning in regard to any such owner as it would have if it were a party to this contract, mutatis


mutandis, and shall additionally include any corporation or other entity which is under common


control with any such owner.


3.9 The contract operator shall provide a monthly gas valuation return in a form to be


approved by the Designated Authority prior to the date of commencement of regular downstream


deliveries. Such return shall provide sufficient detail to allow the Designated Authority to verify


the application of the provisions of this Section 3 and shall be the basis for the Designated


Authority's audit under subsection 8 of this Section.


3.10 If any downstream facilities are designed and / or built to be of a greater capacity than is


required for natural gas produced from the Bayu-Undan discovery area and with the intent that


they be used for natural gas from other than the Bayu-Undan discovery area, only such portion of


the costs thereof as is so required shall be allowed.


3.11 Subject only to subsections 10 and 12 of this Section, the capacity of the downstream


facilities shall be reserved by the contractor and, to the extent that that capacity is used for natural


gas from other than the Bayu-Undan discovery area and the benefit thereof accrues to the


contractor, that benefit will be added to the value of natural gas under subsection 4 of this


Section. If such use is not pursuant to an arm’s length transaction, the benefit shall be deemed to


be that which would have so accrued to the contractor had it so been.


3.12 For all purposes of this Section, costs shall not be greater than those that are for the


necessary and proper conduct of the construction and operation of the downstream facilities and


incurred in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and practices of the


international petroleum industry recognising that for accounting purposes die inclusion in


downstream operating costs of expenditures necessary to maintain, repair and replace the


equipment necessary for the operation of the downstream facilities may be inconsistent with such


principles and practices. Where property or any other thing for which a cost is allowable under


this Section is only used (or any cost is only incurred) partially in respect of natural gas, whether


in gaseous or liquid form, produced from foe Bayu-Undan discovery area, only that proportion of


the cost which relates to that natural gas shall be allowed.


3.13 If foe buyer under any approved contract for the sale of natural gas, whether in gaseous or


liquid form, is obliged to pay for quantities not taken, the quantities in respect of which such


payment is made shall be deemed to have been produced and delivered to foe buyer when that


payment is made.


3.14 Any costs associated with either foe payment or production of natural gas in subsection


13 of this Section 3 shall be deemed to be:


(a) operating costs if such costs are incurred before foe field export point; and


(b) downstream operating costs, if such costs are incurred beyond the field export


point;


only when such costs are incurred.








5/16/2003 12


6:55 AM6;55 AM


3.15 If the approved contract requires the contractor to deliver the quantities not taken (as


mentioned in subsection 13 of this Section) at a later date and the approved contract requires an


adjustment to the price at such later date, then that adjustment amount, and only that adjustment


amount, shall be included in the value of natural gas determined in accordance this Section 3, at


such later date.


3.16 In regard to that approved contract entitled Feed Gas Sale and Purchase Agreement


between the contractor and the owner of the LNG plant:


(a) if the Buyer (as therein defined) fails to pay an amount due and payable by it to


the Sellers (as therein defined), the Sellers shall be deemed to have received such


amount, provided that, in the case of back to back receipts, these have been paid


to or as directed by the Buyer. For the purpose of this paragraph, "back to back


receipts" means amounts due to the Buyer that directly relate to amounts payable


to the Sellers, including amounts under the LNG HOA or the LNG Sale and


Purchase Agreement (both as therein defined); and


(b) risk in the Designated Authority’s share of natural gas from the Bayu-Undan


discovery area shall pass to the contractor at the field export point.


Any amount deemed received as mentioned above shall not again be considered a receipt if and


when actually received.


3.17 If any provision of an approved contract provides for a matter to be resolved by a process


which involves the participation of the Designated Authority, the matter shall not be resolved


other than in accordance with that process and the Designated Authority and the contractor shall


be bound by the outcome thereof.
