2.1No later than 45 days following Closing, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller the Draft Closing Statement.

 

2.2Each of the Seller and the Purchaser shall co-operate with the other with regard to the preparation, review, agreement or determination of the Draft Closing Statement and shall, subject to reasonable notice, make available during normal office hours to the other party and its representatives and accountants all books and records, together with the services of any employees of the Group, as the other party may reasonably require.

 

2.3If the Seller does not within 45 days of presentation to it of the Draft Closing Statement give notice to the Purchaser that it disagrees with the Draft Closing Statement or any item thereof, such notice stating the reasons for the disagreement in reasonable detail and specifying the adjustments which, in the Seller’s opinion, should be made to the Draft Closing Statement (the “Seller’s Disagreement Notice”), the Draft Closing Statement shall be final and binding on the parties for all purposes. If the Seller gives a Seller’s Disagreement Notice within such 30 days, the Purchaser and the Seller shall attempt in good faith to reach agreement in respect of the Draft Closing Statement and, if they are unable to do so within 21 days of such notification, the Purchaser or the Seller may by notice to the other require that the Draft Closing Statement be referred to the Reporting Accountants.

 

2.4The Reporting Accountants shall be engaged jointly by the Purchaser and the Seller on the terms set out in this paragraph 2 and otherwise on such terms as shall be agreed; provided that neither the Purchaser nor the Seller shall unreasonably (having regard, inter alia, to the provisions of this paragraph 2) refuse its agreement to terms proposed by the Reporting Accountants or by the other party. If the terms of engagement of the Reporting Accountants have not been settled within 15 days of their identity having been determined (or such longer period as the Purchaser and the Seller may agree) then, unless the Purchaser or the Seller is unreasonably refusing its agreement to those terms, those accountants shall be deemed never to have become the Reporting Accountants and new Reporting Accountants shall be selected in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any work undertaken by the Reporting Accountants in relation to the unaudited Draft Closing Statement prepared by the Purchaser shall be undertaken in accordance with paragraph 2.5 below and shall not be conducted to audit standard.

 

2.5Except to the extent that the Purchaser and the Seller agree otherwise, the Reporting Accountants shall determine their own procedure but:

 

2.5.1apart from procedural matters and as otherwise set out in this Agreement shall determine only:

 

(i)whether any of the arguments for an alteration to the Draft Closing Statement put forward in the Seller’s Disagreement Notice is correct in whole or in part; and

 

(ii)if so, what alterations should be made to the Draft Closing Statement in order to correct the relevant inaccuracy in it;

 

2.5.2shall apply the accounting principles, policies, procedures, practices and estimation techniques set out in paragraph 1 above;
79
2.5.3shall make their determination pursuant to paragraph 2.5.1 above as soon as is reasonably practicable and in any event, within 20 days; and

 

2.5.4the procedure of the Reporting Accountants shall:

 

(i)give the Purchaser and the Seller a reasonable opportunity to make written representations to them;

 

(ii)require that the Seller and the Purchaser supply the other with a copy of any written representations at the same time as they are made to the Reporting Accountants; and

 

(iii)permit the Seller and the Purchaser to be present while oral submissions are being made by the other party,

 

for the avoidance of doubt, the Reporting Accountants shall not be entitled to determine the scope of their own jurisdiction.

 

2.6The determination of the Reporting Accountants pursuant to paragraph 2.5.1 above:

 

2.6.1shall be made available to the Purchaser and the Seller in writing; and

 

2.6.2unless otherwise agreed by the Purchaser and the Seller shall include reasons for each relevant determination.

 

2.7The Reporting Accountants shall act as experts and not as arbitrators and their determination of any matter falling within their jurisdiction shall be final and binding on the Seller and the Purchaser save in the event of manifest error (when the relevant part of their determination shall be void and the matter shall be remitted to the Reporting Accountants for correction). In particular, their determination shall be deemed to be incorporated into the Draft Closing Statement.

 

2.8The expenses (including VAT) of the Reporting Accountants shall be borne as they shall direct at the time they make any determination under paragraph 2.5.1(i) above or, failing such direction, equally between the Purchaser and the Seller.

 

2.9The Seller and Purchaser shall co-operate with the Reporting Accountants and comply with their reasonable requests made in connection with the carrying out of their duties under this Agreement. In particular the Purchaser shall keep up-to-date and, subject to reasonable notice, make available to the Seller’s representatives, the Seller’s accountants and the Reporting Accountants all books and records relating to the Group and access to all relevant systems relating to the Group (as the case may be) during normal office hours as the Reporting Accountants may reasonably request during the period from the appointment of the Reporting Accountants down to the making of the relevant determination.

 

2.10Nothing in this Schedule shall entitle a party or the Reporting Accountants access to any information or document which is protected by legal professional or litigation privilege, provided that neither the Seller nor the Purchaser shall be entitled to refuse to supply such part or parts of documents as contain only the facts on which the relevant claim or argument is based.

 

2.11The Seller and the Purchaser and the Reporting Accountants shall, and shall procure that its accountants and other advisers shall, keep all information and documents provided to them pursuant to this Schedule confidential and shall not use the same for any purpose, except for disclosure or use in connection with the preparation of the Draft Closing

12.1Recovery for Actual Liabilities

 

The Seller shall not be liable to pay an amount in discharge of any Specific Claim (other than a Tax Claim) unless and until the liability for which such claim is made has become due and payable.

 

12.2Prior to Recovery from the Seller etc.

 

If, before the Seller pays an amount in discharge of any Specific Claim (other than a Tax Claim), neither the Purchaser nor any Group Company recovers or is entitled to recover (whether by payment, discount, credit, relief, insurance or otherwise) from a third party a sum which indemnifies or compensates the Purchaser or Group Company (in whole or in part) for the loss or liability which is the subject matter of such claim, the Purchaser shall procure that, before steps are taken to enforce such claim against the Seller following notification under Clause 12.2 or Schedule 6, all reasonable steps are taken to enforce the recovery against the third party and any actual recovery (less any reasonable costs incurred in obtaining such recovery) shall reduce or satisfy, as the case may be, such claim to the extent of such recovery.

13No Double Recovery and no Double Counting

 

No party may recover for breach of or under this Agreement or the Tax Indemnity or otherwise more than once in respect of the same Losses suffered or amount for which the party is otherwise entitled to claim (or part of such Losses or amount), and no amount (including any Relief) (or part of any amount) shall be taken into account, set off or credited more than once for breach of or under this Agreement or the Tax Indemnity or otherwise, with the intent that there will be no double counting for breach of or under this Agreement or the Tax Indemnity or otherwise.

150

1Bubbling Fluidized Bed Boiler:

 

A steam generator utilizing the principles of fluidized bed combustion with gas velocities between 0.5 and 3.5 meters/second in the upper section of the furnace. The gas velocity causes the hot bed particles (solids) which can consist of fuel, fuel ash, and sand to churn and mix within the furnace to evenly burn the fuel and transfer heat to the walls and other heat absorbing surfaces within the furnace. The gas velocity is low enough so that most of the bed particles remain within the furnace. The low solids combustion gas then typically passes through a convection Heat Recovery Area (HRA).

 

2Circulating Fluidized Bed Boiler:

 

A steam generator utilizing the principles of fluidized bed combustion with gas velocities between 2 - 10 meters/second in the upper section of the combustion furnace. The gas velocity causes the hot bed particles (solids) which can consist of fuel, fuel ash, limestone, and sand to churn and mix within the furnace to evenly burn the fuel, capture sulfur oxides and transfer heat to the walls and other heat absorbing surfaces within the furnace. The gas velocity is high enough to cause the particles to escape from the top of the furnace, which are then captured by solid separators (such as cyclones) and continually returned to the bottom of the furnace. Circulating Fluidized Bed Boilers may include heat absorbing surfaces to capture heat from the particles along their return path to the furnace. Large units (over 300 MWe) can employ once through steam heating circuitry with steam conditions above the critical point of water (221 bar, 374°C) to improve power plant efficiency. The low solids combustion gas then typically passes through a convection Heat Recovery Area (HRA).

 

3Circulating Fluidized Bed Scrubber:

 

A multi-pollutant flue gas cleaning system utilizing the principles of fluidized bed reactor chemistry with gas velocities between 2 - 10 meters/second in the upper section of an absorber charged with sodium bicarbonate, powder activated carbon and/or other reagents to churn and mix with flue gas from boilers and industrial processes to capture

176

vapour phase acid gases including SO2, SO3, HCl and HF, and other such gases, and also capture heavy metals including Hg, Cd, Pb and Br and other such metals, and also capture dioxins and furans. To improve the chemical and surface absorption reactions, spray nozzles inject water into the absorber to cool and humidify the flue gas and reacting particles. The absorber gas velocity is high enough to cause the particles to escape from the top of the absorber, which are then captured by a particulate collection device (such as a fabric filter or electrostatic precipitator) and recirculated back to the absorber vessel to continue absorbing acid gases and metals. A fabric filter may be used to provide final cleaning as the flue gas passes through the absorbing dust layer on the fabric filter bags.

 

4Waste Heat Boiler for Non-Ferrous Metallurgical Industries:

 

Metallurgical Waste Heat Boilers (“WHB“) are steam generators designed to recover heat from hot process flue gases produced by non-ferrous pyro-metallurgical furnaces, or similar processes. These gases contain hot sticky corrosive ash and corrosive vapour phase elements such as chlorine and alkali metals. These WHBs utilize robust materials, such as austenitic alloys, weld overlays, and composite tubes often coupled with robust cleaning techniques such as spring hammer rapping and sonic cleaning to reliably produce steam for a multitude of purposes including fuel dying, process steam, heating and power production.

 

5Biomass Gasifier:

 

A gasifier utilizing a fluidized bed gasification process at atmospheric and higher pressure levels with gas velocities between 0.5 - 10 meters/second in the upper section of the gasifier vessel. The gas velocity causes the hot bed particles, which can consist of high volatile fuels such as woody biomass in combination with agricultural waste or byproducts, plastic, paper and refuse derived fuels to churn and mix within the gasifier reactor under sub-stoichiometric conditions to produce a hot synthetic gas with low to medium heating value (1000-3000 kcal/Nm3). The gasifier can be designed for either a bubbling bed or circulating bed process with the gas velocity set low enough to retain most of the bed particles within the gasifier vessel or high enough to cause the particles to escape from the top of the gasifier, which are then captured by solid separators (such as cyclones) and continually returned to the bottom of the gasifier. The gasifier can use air, oxygen enriched air, oxygen-steam mixture, steam or carbon dioxide as the fluidizing medium to control the syngas composition and heating value.

Schedule 14
Asbestos Survey Guidelines

 

1Visual confirmation of the buildings

 

1.1.1To conduct a thorough walk through across the target sites and to cover all buildings (covering all floors, all rooms, attics and basements) which potentially contain friable or non-friable asbestos containing materials (“ACMs”).

 

1.1.2To use a site auditor with a reasonable level of experience to identify any possible friable/non-friable ACMs as part of the Asbestos Survey.

 

2Sampling

 

2.1.1To take samples from all identified potential ACMs in sufficient amounts for a laboratory to be able to test for asbestos.

 

2.1.2Samplings to be conducted and the sampling process may, at the discretion of the site auditor, include (but are not limited to) taking a sample of:

 

(i)wall board materials;

 

(ii)floor tiles;

 

(iii)roof materials;

 

(iv)insulation materials;

 

(v)gaskets;

 

(vi)pipe coverings; and/or

 

(vii)exterior paint.

 

2.1.3Each sample is to be individually stored in separate container (e.g. in plastic bags) and labelled appropriately (e.g. date taken, location and material taken).

 

2.1.4Photo logs of the sampling locations should be taken in order to identify where all the relevant samples were taken.

 

2.1.5During the sampling, the condition and status of the potential ACMs should also be recorded along with confirmation on whether such materials are deteriorated or damaged to the extent that they must be replaced/removed, should they contain asbestos.

 

2.1.6All samples should be sent to the laboratory with record taken of the relevant chain of custody.

 

3Analysis

 

3.1.1The analysis should be conducted at an accredited and certified laboratory with a reasonable level of experience in assessing ACMs.
192
3.1.2The results generated by the laboratory should be accompanied by an assessment on whether the ACMs contain asbestos, the type of asbestos and the relative percentage concentration of asbestos contained in the samples.
193

Schedule 15
Terms and Conditions
Clause 6.6.1

 

Terms and Conditions of Sale/Purchase

 

Article 1, General: These Terms and Conditions are applicable to Intra-Group Contracts (Contracts) for the purchase and sale of goods and services between the relevant members of the Seller’s Group (as such term is defined in the SPA) and the Group (as such term is defined in the SPA) where the Intra-Group Contracts do not specify formal mutually agreed terms and conditions.

 

The Intra-Group Contracts are sometimes issued in the form of an Inter-Company Work Order (IWO).

 

As used herein, the term “Purchaser” shall mean the purchaser of the goods or services under the Contract, and the term “Seller” shall mean the Seller of the goods and services under the Contract.

 

Article 2, Price: The price shall be as a set forth in the Contract.

 

Article 3, Terms of Payment: Unless otherwise stated in the Contract, the payments terms shall be as follows:

 

Sale of Goods: Invoices shall be issued upon shipment of goods based upon 100% of the price of the goods shipped and pro rata invoices shall be issued for partial shipments.

 

Consulting and Advisory Services and Construction Services: Invoices shall be issued each month for the services performed during the prior month.

 

General: No offset or retention shall be applicable to invoices issued by the Seller. Invoices shall be payable by the end of the month following the month the Purchaser receives invoice, and interest shall be charged on past due accounts. If any payments are delayed, the Seller may suspend the work upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice to the Purchaser, and the Seller shall be entitled to an extension of time and compensation for any additional costs as a result of such suspension. If any payments are delayed by more than thirty (30) days, the Seller may terminate the Contract upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice to the Purchaser, and such termination shall be treated as a termination for the convenience of the Purchaser.

 

Article 4, Taxes: The Seller’s price is exclusive of all taxes or assessments of any kind that may be imposed by any taxing jurisdiction, directly or indirectly, on the sale of the goods or services including but not limited to sales, use, license, income, franchise, business, gross receipts, turnover, value added tax (VAT), Goods and Services Tax (GST), stamp, withholding tax or retention in lieu of withholding tax, or consumption taxes and customs duties or fees, clearance charges, port charges, or inspection charges, if applicable to the goods or services rendered.  If the Seller is required to pay or collect any such taxes or duties, or the Purchaser is required to withhold such taxes or duties, then all such amounts shall be paid by the Purchaser in addition to the Seller’s price. 

 

Article 5, Time of Performance: All schedule dates are estimated dates, and in no event shall Seller be liable for any delay damages.

 

All schedule dates shall be extended for delays attributable to fires, floods, labor disputes, riots, thefts, accidents, act of the Government, acts of subsuppliers, acts of other contractors, acts of the Purchaser or Owner/User, changes in applicable laws or regulations, unavailability of qualified

194

labor or materials, or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Seller which may delay the work.

 

The Seller may terminate this Contract if performance becomes impossible or illegal, or if an unacceptable danger to the Seller’s personnel arises.

 

Article 6, Title and Risk of Loss: Title and risk of loss to the goods shall pass to the Purchaser upon delivery of the goods to the delivery point specified in the Contract.

 

Seller shall not be responsible for loss or damage, including loss or damage in transit when the risk lies with Seller, unless the delivered goods are checked against the bill of lading and Seller’s shipping list immediately upon arrival and any claims are promptly reported.

 

Article 7, Changes: Any changes requested by the Purchaser shall be subject to the agreement of the Seller, including agreement on an appropriate adjustment to the price, schedule and other affected conditions of the Contract. Any such changes and the adjustments to the Contract resulting therefrom shall be documented in a formal change order executed by Purchaser and Seller prior to the commencement of the change.

 

The Contract is based upon applicable laws that are in effect on the date of the Seller’s Proposal. Any changes in such laws that impact the performance of the work or the time or cost to perform the work shall be considered a change to the Contract and an appropriate adjustment shall be made to the price, schedule and other affected conditions of the Contract.

 

Article 8, Subcontracting and Substitution: Seller may subcontract all or any part of the work. In addition, Seller reserves the right to select the manufacturer or supplier of purchased items of goods. In the event the Proposal or Contract should name specific vendors, the reference to such vendors shall be construed as a general indication of the type of goods to be furnished and shall not limit Seller’s selection to that particular vendor.

 

Article 9, Suspension and Termination: The Purchaser shall have the right to postpone or suspend the work at any time upon ten days written notice to Seller. In such event, the Purchaser shall compensate Seller for any additional costs incurred by Seller as a result of such postponement or suspension, and Purchaser shall grant an appropriate extension to the schedule which shall take into consideration both the period of postponement and its consequences.

 

In the event the aggregate total of suspensions exceeds two (2) months Seller shall be entitled to be paid for all costs for work performed including any partially completed work. In the event the aggregate total of suspensions exceeds six (6) months Seller shall be entitled to terminate the Contract by notice to the Purchaser and such termination shall be deemed to be a termination for Purchaser’s convenience.
