(iv) determining disputes escalated to the Integration Steering Committee by the Integration Management Office pursuant to clause 7.2(c); and

(v) considering and determining any other key material decisions and recommendations which are referred to the Integration Steering Committee by the Integration Management Office pursuant to clause 7.2(e).

(d) The Integration Steering Committee must use its reasonable endeavours to make decisions by unanimous agreement, and may escalate matters to the Chairpersons of BHP and Woodside for unanimous agreement between the Chairpersons where necessary. If the Integration Steering Committee (including following escalation to the Chairpersons, where applicable) is not able to reach a unanimous decision in respect of:

(i) subject always to clause 7.1(e), an Integration Activity only, where the decision relates to the structure, activities, governance or operation of the Woodside Group after Completion then that decision may be made by the Chief Executive Officer, Woodside; and

(ii) any other matters under or relating to this agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, matters relating to or that may impact upon the Transition Services, Systems Services or Separation Activities), then the Integration Steering Committee must escalate that decision in accordance with the dispute resolution process set out in clause 23.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, it is agreed that where a decision is made by the Chief Executive Officer, Woodside, pursuant to clause 7.1(d)(i) that has a potential consequential impact on Separation Activities, Systems Services, Transition Services or the ordinary operation of the Other BHP Entities’ businesses, then that decision of itself will not be binding on the BHP Group and will have no impact on BHP’s rights or obligations in respect of those activities, services or operations, and BHP is relieved from the obligation to perform its relevant obligations under this agreement in respect of those activities, services or operations to the extent that they are so impacted.

7.2 Integration Management Office

(a) The Parties must establish an Integration Management Office to operate for the period commencing on the Execution Date and concluding on the Completion Date, comprised of the following roles (in Houston or Perth), with each Party identifying a person nominated in each role:

(i) Integration Director;

Integration and Transition Services Agreement 13

(ii) Integration Manager; and

(iii) Integration Coordinator.

(b) Subject to clause 7.2(e), the Integration Management Office (lead by the Integration Directors) will, from the Execution Date until Completion, have day-to-day responsibility for matters associated with:

(ii) the planning, development and maturation of the scope of Transition Services in accordance with clause 14.1(c).

(c) The Integration Management Office must use its reasonable endeavours to make decisions by way of unanimous agreement between the Integration Directors. If the Integration Directors are not able to reach a unanimous decision in respect of a matter, then the Integration Management Office must escalate that decision for resolution by the Integration Steering Committee.

(d) The Parties must, through the Integration Management Office, implement and manage all administrative processes (including but not limited to the Protocols) required for the efficient and effective performance of the Integration Plan, Integration Budget and Integration Activities and as may be required to comply with legal or other regulatory obligations or otherwise as agreed by the Parties.

(e) The Integration Management Office will make recommendations to the Integration Steering Committee with respect to key material decisions relating to the Integration Plan, Integration Budget and Integration Activities and as otherwise required by this agreement or directed by the Integration Steering Committee.

(f) The Integration Management Office will meet twice weekly (or as otherwise agreed by the Integration Directors). The position of chair will rotate weekly, and the Integration Director that is not the chair in any week will be the deputy chair in that week.

(g) On the Execution Date, the Integration Directors must identify and make available, including for attendance at Integration Management Office meetings as required, representatives from their respective organisations to assist the Integration Management Office with planning and performing Integration Activities in agreed key business areas and for identified and agreed workstreams (Business and Workstream Representatives). A representative will be identified from each of BHP and Woodside (in their discretion for their own representatives) for each business area and workstream. Additional representatives may be added by the Parties as required from time to time.

(i) any updates and amendments to the Integration Plan and Integration Budget;

(ii) progress of the Integration Activities;

(iii) costs incurred as against the Integration Budget; and

(iv) any Changes being considered or which have been agreed by the Integration Management Office under clause 20.1.

8 Integration Plan

(a) On and from the Execution Date until the Completion Date the Parties must:

(i) perform or procure the performance of their respective obligations under the Integration Plan in accordance with the terms of this agreement and the Integration Plan; and

(ii) use their respective reasonable endeavours to meet the timetable set out in the Integration Plan and meet all milestones in the Integration Plan.

(b) The Parties acknowledge and agree that the current working version of the Integration Plan included in Schedule 1 as at the Execution Date will continue to be further developed, refined and matured by the Integration Management Office on and from the Execution Date until the Completion Date to articulate all Integration Activities to be undertaken during the following three phases:

(i) from the Execution Date to the Completion Date (limited to planning and scoping activities);

(ii) on the Completion Date; and

(iii) following the Completion Date (noting that, in this period, Integration Activities are to be undertaken solely by Woodside).

(c) The Parties acknowledge and agree that BHP has no responsibilities or obligations to, and will not undertake any Integration Activities on and from Completion, and that prior to Completion the Target Group and Target Petroleum Business will continue to operate separately from, make separate independent business decisions from, and compete with the Woodside Group.

(d) The Parties must, through the Integration Management Office, regularly review progress against the Integration Plan prior to Completion.

9 Delays

9.1 Notification of Delays

(a) Each Party must use its reasonable endeavours to anticipate and avoid delays or failures in the performance of their respective obligations relating to the Integration Activities and the Transition Services, and, in the case of BHP, to the Separation Activities and Systems Services.

Integration and Transition Services Agreement 15

(b) If BHP or Woodside (Delaying Party) becomes aware of an actual or impending delay or failure in successfully achieving any of its obligations in respect of the Integration Activities or the Transition Services, (a Delay), it must promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days of becoming aware of the Delay), give the other party (Other Party) a written notice that specifies:

(i) the nature of the Delay;

(ii) the cause of the Delay (including any Excusing Events);

(iii) the likely impact of the Delay on the Delaying Party’s compliance with the timing and other relevant aspects of this agreement; and

(iv) any extension of time requested.

(c) The Parties must use their reasonable endeavours to mitigate and minimise the effects of any Delays and Excusing Events.

(d) If reasonably required by the Other Party, the Delaying Party must as soon as reasonably practicable:

(i) develop a draft action plan to overcome or mitigate the cause and effect of that Delay; and

(ii) submit the draft action plan to the Other Party for approval.

(e) If a Delaying Party is required to develop an action plan in accordance with clause 9.1(d), the Delaying Party must ensure that the action plan specifies (in reasonable detail):

(i) the actions that will be implemented by the Delaying Party to overcome or mitigate the cause and effect of the Delay;

(ii) a timeline for the implementation of the action plan; and

(iii) any other content reasonably requested by the Other Party.

(f) The Delaying Party must:

(i) update the draft action plan to address any amendments reasonably requested by the Other Party at any time; and

(ii) implement the action plan once the Other Party has approved that plan in writing.

9.2 Excusing Events

A Delaying Party will not be in breach of this agreement, and is not liable for a Delay, to the extent that the Delay was, or will be, directly caused or contributed to by:

(a) any act or omission of the Other Party (or the Other Party’s Group Members) including:

Integration and Transition Services Agreement 16

(i) any failure by the Other Party to comply with its obligations under this agreement (including failures to provide inputs, dependencies or meet the Integration Plan timetable); or

(ii) a Delay of the Other Party;

(b) any act or omission of any Third Party engaged by the Other Party (or any of the Other Party’s Group Members); or

(c) a Force Majeure Event,

(each an Excusing Event).

9.3 Extensions of time under the Integration Plan due to Delays

(a) Where a Delay occurs, the Other Party must consider in good faith any extensions to the Integration Plan timetable or other actions which are reasonably requested by the Delaying Party.

(b) Any extensions to the Integration Plan timetable as a result of a Delay must be agreed in writing between BHP and Woodside. A party will not unreasonably withhold consent to a reasonable extension to the extent that the Delay was, or will be, directly caused or contributed to by an Excusing Event which materially affects the Delaying Party’s ability to deliver to the Integration Plan timetable.

(c) Where an extension is agreed pursuant to this clause 9.3, BHP and Woodside must promptly update the Integration Plan (if applicable) to reflect the changes to the timetable as a result of the Delay.

9.4 BHP Delays

(a) If:

(i) a Delay notified under clause 9.1(b) is caused by BHP; and

(ii) the particular Delay causes:

(A) the commencement of a Transition Service to be delayed by; or

(B) a requirement for a Transition Service to continue to be provided for longer than the applicable Transition Service Term contemplated under this agreement, for,

at least 30 days (and provided that such impact must in each case be reasonably capable of substantiation by Woodside); and

(iii) there are no:

(A) subsisting breaches of Woodside’s obligations under this agreement;

(B) Changes to the Integration Activities or Transition Services implemented or requested by Woodside;

(C) waivers or approvals provided by Woodside; or

(D) Excusing Events,

which contributed to the Delay,

Integration and Transition Services Agreement 17

then, subject always to clause 3.1(b), where such Delay is unable to otherwise be mitigated or resolved by the Parties (as agreed by the Parties, acting reasonably) such that there is no requirement for an extension to the relevant Transition Service Term, then as Woodside’s sole and exclusive remedy for that Delay Woodside is entitled to an extension of the Transition Service Term for any Transition Service affected by that Delay equal to the period of the Delay, on the same terms applicable to that Transition Service as at the time of the Delay (and for the avoidance of doubt Woodside will remain entitled to further exercise its right to extend an Initial Transition Service Term pursuant to clause 14.2(a)).

(b) If:

(i) a Delay results in an extension of a Transition Service Term pursuant to and in accordance with clause 9.4(a); and

(ii) Woodside has, as at the date on which that applicable Delay is notified, already engaged a Substitute Supplier to provide a substitute service that is intended to replace the Transition Service which is now to be extended pursuant to clause 9.4(a); and

(iii) Woodside has used all reasonable measures to avoid, mitigate and minimise any amounts payable by Woodside to the applicable Substitute Supplier in connection with the relevant substitute service, including to defer the commencement of the relevant service provided by the Substitute Supplier for the period that the applicable Transition Service Term is extended due to this Delay;

then, subject to clause 9.4(d),

(iv) BHP will pay the sum of the amounts that Woodside is required to pay to the applicable Substitute Supplier in connection with the relevant substitute service, up to a maximum cap of the amount equal to the Transition Service Fees payable by Woodside to BHP during the period that this applicable Transition Service is extended due to that Delay only.

(c) Woodside acknowledges and agrees that this clause 9.4 sets out Woodside’s sole and exclusive remedy in respect of Delays that are subject to clause 9.4(a).

(d) Woodside acknowledges and agrees that to the extent that Excusing Events cause or contribute to a Delay that is subject to clause 9.4(a), any liability of BHP under clause 9.4(b) will be proportionately reduced.

9.5 Woodside Delays

(a) If:

(i) a Delay notified under clause 9.1(b) is caused by Woodside; and

(ii) the particular Delay causes the commencement of a Transition Service to be delayed by at least 30 days (and provided that such impact must in each case be reasonably capable of substantiation by BHP); and

(iii) there are no:

Integration and Transition Services Agreement 18

(A) subsisting breaches of BHP’s obligations under this agreement;

(B) Changes to the Integration Activities or Transition Services implemented or requested by BHP;

(C) waivers or approvals provided by BHP; or

(D) Excusing Events,

which contributed to the Delay,

then, provided always that no Transition Service Term will be extended in respect of a Delay under this clause 9.5(a), as BHP’s sole and exclusive remedy for that Delay Woodside will pay the sum of all charges, costs or expenses that BHP Group suffers or incurs as a result of that Delay, provided that such amount must not exceed the amount that would be payable by Woodside for the affected Transition Services during the period of the Delay.

9.6 Critical Separation Activities

Nothing in this clause 9, will affect the operation of clause 7.2 of the Sale Agreement or Schedule 5 of this agreement.

10 Integration Budget

(a) On and from the Execution Date until Completion, in executing the Integration Plan in accordance with clause 8(a), the Parties will use their reasonable endeavours to comply with the Integration Budget, provided that if a Party considers that it will not be able to comply with the Integration Budget then it must comply with clause 10(f).

(b) During the period from the Execution Date until Completion, each of BHP and Woodside must provide a monthly report to the Integration Management Office, in a form approved by the Integration Steering Committee, showing:

(i) all internal costs directly and exclusively related to Integration Activities for each Party, including timewriting to the extent that the relevant Party undertakes timewriting in relation to activities forming part of the Integration Activities as at the Execution Date;

(ii) costs in respect of Third Parties, including consultants, to the extent directly incurred in supporting Integration Activities;

(iii) amounts that Party has incurred that form part of the Agreed Costs; and

(iv) a forecast of costs associated with Integration Activities from the date of the report to Completion.

(c) Any Third Party supporting Integration Activities and whose costs will form part of the Agreed Costs will be engaged only with the consent of both Woodside and BHP.

(d) If:

Integration and Transition Services Agreement 19

(i) any Agreed Costs are actually incurred by a Party on and from the Execution Date; and

(ii) Completion does not occur by the date on which it is scheduled to occur pursuant to the Sale Agreement (as such date may be varied by the Parties),

then the Parties agree to share those costs in the agreed proportions set out in Schedule 6.

(e) Each Party must use reasonable endeavours to minimise and mitigate the costs of Integration Activities.

(f) If a Party reasonably anticipates that it will incur costs for Integration Activities in excess of the Integration Budget, it must promptly seek the approval of the Integration Steering Committee, but must continue performing its obligations under the Integration Plan until such time as its costs exceed the Integration Budget by 10%, at which point, if the approval of the Integration Steering Committee has not been obtained to such excess costs, the Party must reduce and minimise its costs to meet the Integration Budget or, to the extent that is not possible, cease performance of the Integration Activities. The Integration Steering Committee may require a Party to explain the basis for the increased costs and/or take reasonable actions to reduce its costs of Integration Activities.

11 Separation Activities

(a) Subject always to the provisions of Schedule 5, which govern the Systems Separation Activities, BHP will be responsible for the performance of all Separation Activities, and the costs of such Separation Activities will be borne by BHP unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Parties.

(b) Subject always to the provisions of Schedule 5, which govern the Systems Separation Activities, BHP must:

(i) use its reasonable endeavours to complete all Separation Activities prior to Completion; and

(ii) following Completion, complete any Carry-over Separation Activities (if any).

(c) The Integration Plan must not include Separation Activities or Systems Services and the Integration Budget must not include any costs associated with Separation Activities or Systems Services.

(d) The Separation Activities and Systems Services must not include any Integration Activities or any costs associated with the Integration Activities.

(e) Transition Services must not include any Integration Activities (or any costs associated with Integration Activities) or Separation Activities or Systems Services (or costs associated with Separation Activities or Systems Services).

(f) From 10 January 2022, BHP must provide a regular (not less than monthly and more frequently if reasonably required by the Integration Steering Committee) report to the Integration Management Office on the progress of the Separation Activities.

Integration and Transition Services Agreement 20

(g) If the Integration Management Office reasonably considers that any Separation Activity is unlikely to be completed by the Completion Date, then the Integration Management Office must meet to discuss the status of that Separation Activity, the impact of any failure to complete it on time and the proposed timeline for the relevant Separation Activity to be completed.

(h) Where the Parties agree it is required (acting reasonably), then the Integration Management Office must develop and mutually agree a plan (Carry-over Plan) in respect of a Separation Activity identified pursuant to clause 11(g). A Carry-over Plan must identify:

(i) any necessary changes to the method of carrying out the relevant Separation Activity as a Carry-over Separation Activity following Completion; and

(ii) any necessary changes to the Transition Services already identified as at that date and any necessary additional Transition Services (Carry-over Transition Services) (if any) which are required directly as a result of the relevant Separation Activity becoming a Carry-over Separation Activity.

(i) The Integration Management Office must provide a draft Carry-over Plan developed and agreed pursuant to clause 11(h) to the Integration Steering Committee as soon as reasonably practicable before the Completion Date, and the Integration Steering Committee must use their reasonable endeavours to finalise and agree any Carry-over Plan, including through escalation to the Chairpersons of BHP and Woodside where necessary, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter (and no later than 15 Business Days prior to Completion). For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that clause 7.1(d)(i) does not apply to an Integration Steering Committee decision on a Carry-over Plan.

(j) Should any Carry-over Transition Services be identified in a Carry-over Plan agreed pursuant to clause 11(i), the Integration Management Office and, to the extent any matters are escalated, the Integration Steering Committee, must develop, agree and document Transition Service Schedules for those Carry-over Transition Services in accordance with the template set out in Schedule 3.

(k) Should any necessary changes to already identified Transition Services be identified in a Carry-over Plan agreed pursuant to clause 11(i), the Integration Management Office and, to the extent any matters are escalated, the Integration Steering Committee must agree any necessary amendments to the Transition Service Schedules for those Transition Services.

(l) Once the Carry-over Plan is finalised and agreed pursuant to clause 11(i), BHP must perform:

(i) the Carry-over Separation Activities at its own cost, except to the extent that the non-Completion of the Separation Activities by Completion was, or will be, directly caused or contributed to by any act or omission of the Woodside Group, including any failure by Woodside to comply with its obligations under this agreement (including failures to provide inputs, dependencies or meet the Integration Plan timetable), in which case the applicable Carry-over Separation Activities will be at Woodside’s cost and expense to that extent; and

Integration and Transition Services Agreement 21

(ii) the Carry-over Transition Services, with any relevant Transition Service Fees agreed between the Parties in the relevant Transition Service Schedules,

in accordance with the Carry-over Plan and the relevant Transition Service Schedules (as applicable).

12 Synergy Opportunities

(a) Subject to clause 16 and the implementation of measures reasonably required to ensure compliance with applicable competition laws, the Parties agree that prior to Completion, the Integration Management Office will use reasonable endeavours to plan for and scope opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce costs of the Woodside Group following Completion (Synergy Opportunities), including through:

(i) removal of duplicated activities and services;

(ii) economies of scale of combined activities;

(iii) portfolio focus and design;

(iv) organisational design; and

(v) organisational structure.

(b) The Parties acknowledge and agree that clause 12(a) does not create a binding legal obligation on the Parties and the Parties exclude all liability to one another should any of the objectives in clause 12(a) not be achieved.

13 Access to People

(a) Each Party must provide to the other reasonable access to people necessary to implement the Integration Plan and undertake the Integration Activities (including people of the Woodside Group and BHP Group, as applicable), subject always to compliance with all applicable Laws including competition laws.

(b) Each Party will ensure that their representatives participating in Integration Activities, as Business and Work Stream Representatives or in the Integration Management Office, follow the Protocols and any other administrative processes and procedures established by the Integration Management Office or otherwise agreed by the Parties.

(c) The Parties, through the Integration Management Office, must jointly develop and implement one or more communications plans covering the below matters:

(i) communications by each of Woodside and BHP within their respective organisations (including Personnel communications) in respect of the Transaction, the Integration Plan and Transition Services; and

(ii) communications with Third Parties and stakeholders as part of Integration Activities and Transition Services.

Integration and Transition Services Agreement 22

14 Transition Services

14.1 Performance of Transition Services

(a) In consideration for the Transition Service Fee, BHP must supply or must procure the supply of each Transition Service on and from the Completion Date for the relevant Transition Service Term to the Woodside Group or such members of the Woodside Group as Woodside may direct in accordance with the terms of this agreement, but only in respect of and for the purposes of the operation of the Target Petroleum Business in the transition period following Completion, and not for the benefit of any other operations, business or assets of the Woodside Group.

(b) The Parties agree that:

(i) the Transition Services which have been identified as at the Execution Date are set out in Schedule 4; and

(ii) New Transition Services and Omitted Transition Services may be identified in accordance with clause 14.4.

(c) After the Execution Date (and as far as practicable, before 31 December 2021, but in any event, before Completion), the Integration Management Office and, to the extent any matters are escalated, the Integration Steering Committee must:

(i) develop, agree and document the Transition Service Schedules for the Transition Services set out in Schedule 4 in accordance with the template set out in Schedule 3; and

(ii) identify any New Transition Services and Omitted Transition Services (if any) and develop, agree and document any additional Transition Service Schedules necessary for any such New Transition Services and Omitted Transition Services in accordance with clause 14.4.

14.2 Extension of Transition Service Term

(a) Woodside may elect to extend an Initial Transition Service Term for a Transition Service by up to 3 months from the end of the Initial Transition Service Term for that Transition Service by giving BHP notice in writing at least 30 days prior to the end of the relevant Initial Transition Service Term.

(b) In addition to Woodside’s right to elect an extension to a Transition Service Term pursuant to clause 14.2(a) or any change to a Transition Service Term agreed under a Carry-over Plan, if Woodside reasonably considers there is a material risk that the exit from, or transition of a Transition Service to the Woodside Group or an alternate service provider, will not occur by the expiry of the Transition Service Term (as already extended pursuant to clause 14.2(a)) for a Transition Service, then:

(i) Woodside may, by delivery of notice in writing to BHP not later than 15 Business Days before expiration of the relevant Transition Service Term, request to extend the applicable Transition Service Term for a further period of 1 month on up to 3 occasions (for a potential total maximum further extension of the Transition Service Term by 3 months);

Integration and Transition Services Agreement 23

(ii) any such further extension requested by Woodside pursuant to clause 14.2(b)(i) is subject to the agreement of BHP in its sole discretion and, in accordance with clause 15.1, BHP obtaining any Third Party Approvals required for such extension; and

(iii) BHP may vary the Transition Service Fees that will be payable by Woodside during the further extension period requested by Woodside pursuant to clause 14.2(b)(i) in its sole discretion.

(c) If Woodside elects or requests an extension of the relevant Transition Service Term for a Transition Service that is dependent on any Linked Transition Service(s) pursuant to clauses 14.2(a) or 14.2(b) (as applicable), then any such extension will also be dependent on the extension of such Linked Transition Service(s).

(d) In all cases, any extension of a Transition Service Term for a Transition Service for any reason must:

(i) apply to the whole of a Transition Service (that is, a Transition Service Term cannot be extended in respect of only part of a Transition Service), unless the parties mutually agree that it is practicable to extend a discrete part of a Transition Service with a view to minimising Transition Services after Completion; and

(ii) not extend the overall Transition Service Term for that Transition Service beyond the Longstop Date.

14.3 Location of Transition Services

(a) Each Transition Service will only be supplied to the same jurisdiction that the service which was equivalent to the relevant Transition Service was supplied in connection with the Target Petroleum Business prior to Completion.

(b) Each Transition Service will only be supplied to:

(i) the same location that the service which was equivalent to the relevant Transition Service was supplied in connection with the Target Petroleum Business prior to Completion; or

(ii) a location at which the Woodside Group operated its business as at the Execution Date,

unless otherwise specified in the relevant Transition Service Schedule.

14.4 Additional Transition Services

(a) If, at any time after the Execution Date, any services, tasks, activities or functions in addition to the Transition Services are identified by Woodside, including as a consequence of Integration Activities, then, at the written request of Woodside:

(i) in respect of the above which can be characterised as Omitted Transition Services, and which are reasonably necessary in addition to the provision of the then existing Transition Services:

(A) BHP must provide those Omitted Transition Services; and

(B) the Transition Service Fees will be agreed for those Omitted Transition Services, with such amount to be calculated on a basis that is consistent with how the other Transition Service Fees have been calculated; and

Integration and Transition Services Agreement 24

(ii) in respect of the above which can be characterised as New Transition Services, provided that such request must be made by Woodside before the date that is 6 months after the Completion Date:

(A) BHP may elect to agree to provide those New Transition Services; and

(B) the Transition Service Fees for those New Transition Services will be agreed between the Parties (before BHP has an obligation to provide them), with such amount to be calculated on a basis that is consistent with how the other Transition Service Fees have been calculated.

(b) If an Omitted Transition Service or New Transition Service is to be provided pursuant to clause 14.4(a)(i) or clause 14.4(a)(ii), the Parties must develop and agree the relevant Transition Service Schedule for that Omitted Transition Service or New Transition Service (as applicable).

(c) Omitted Transition Services and New Transition Services which have been agreed and added in a Transition Services Schedule in accordance with this clause 14.4 will then be considered “Transition Services” for the purposes of this agreement.

14.5 Standards of Transition Services

(a) In respect of those Transition Services which are supplied by BHP (or another BHP Group Member), the Transition Services must be performed:

(i) in accordance with all applicable Laws; and

(ii) subject to clause 14.6, in accordance with the Service Standards, and subject to any reasonable changes to the Transition Services in accordance with this agreement.

(b) In respect of those Transition Services which are supplied in whole or in part by a Third Party Supplier, BHP must use reasonable endeavours to procure that the Third Party Supplier provides the Transition Services:

(i) in accordance with all applicable Laws; and

(ii) subject to clause 14.6, in accordance with the Service Standards, and subject to any reasonable changes to the Transition Services in accordance with this agreement.

(c) BHP must ensure that the standards of performance specified in clauses 14.5(a) and 14.5(b) are provided or procured by BHP (as applicable) to a standard which is not less than the standard provided by BHP to, or procured by BHP for, the Other BHP Entities.

14.6 Ability to perform Transition Services

Woodside acknowledges and agrees that:

Integration and Transition Services Agreement 25

(a) BHP and all other BHP Group Members are not in the business of:

(i) providing services in the nature of the Transition Services to independent third parties on a commercial arm’s length basis; or

(ii) making management or business decisions for independent third parties;

(b) BHP is providing or procuring the provision of the Transition Services on a temporary basis only to support the transition of the Target Petroleum Business following Completion;

(c) other than as specified in an applicable Transition Service Schedule, the Transition Services are similar to those services which the Target Group received in connection with the Target Petroleum Business prior to the Completion Date;

(d) BHP will not be liable for any failure to provide a Transition Service in accordance with this agreement to the extent that the failure was caused or contributed to by the acts or omissions of any Woodside Group Member (or any Personnel of a Woodside Group Member), such acts or omissions including:

(i) a failure by any Woodside Group Member (or any Personnel of a Woodside Group Member) to provide any information or assistance in accordance with the requirements of this agreement;

(ii) a failure of Woodside to comply with clause 14.10; or

(iii) the supply by any Woodside Group Member (or any Personnel of a Woodside Group Member) of inaccurate or incomplete information or data; and

(e) BHP is part of a global business with affiliated companies, employees, and service providers around the world, and accordingly, access to and storage, processing and use of Woodside’s data and information for the purpose of providing the Transition Services may occur in any country where BHP or any of its employees, affiliated companies or service providers are located.

14.7 Breach of Service Standards

(a) If any of the Transition Services fail to meet the Service Standards (Service Failure), BHP must:

(i) take reasonable steps, at BHP’s cost, to remedy the Service Failure and restore the Transition Services so that they are performed in accordance with the Service Standards;

(ii) take reasonable steps to minimise the impact of the Service Failure on the Woodside Group and prevent it from re-occurring; and

(iii) advise Woodside of the steps being taken under this clause 14.7(a).

(b) To the extent that a Service Failure is caused by an act or omission of any Woodside Group Member (or any Personnel of a Woodside Group Member), Woodside must reimburse BHP for the costs and expenses incurred by BHP in taking the steps referred to in clause 14.7(a).

Integration and Transition Services Agreement 26

(c) Woodside acknowledges and agrees that the remedies set out in this clause 14.7 are Woodside’s only remedies for breach of the Service Standards in performance of any Transition Service.

14.8 Manner of provision of the Transition Services

(a) Subject to BHP’s obligations under this clause 14 and clause 17 (including its obligation to comply with the Service Standards and clause 14.5(c)), BHP may:

(i) provide the Transition Services in the manner which it thinks fit from time to time, or upgrade, modify, substitute, replace or change the nature or method (in whole or in part) of providing the Transition Services (including in relation to its Resources and the entity providing the Transition Services); and

(ii) determine the allocation of its Resources and Personnel as between BHP Group requirements and Woodside Group requirements, provided it continues to meet the Service Standards and its obligation under clause 14.5(c).

(b) Where BHP upgrades, modifies, substitutes, replaces or changes any services provided to the BHP Group, including by modifying the technology used or Third Parties engaged to provide services to the BHP Group, BHP may upgrade, modify, substitute, replace or change the equivalent category of Transition Services provided to the Woodside Group in a generally consistent manner.

(c) BHP may from time to time temporarily suspend any of the Transition Services or any access to, or use by the Woodside Group of, the Transition Services for the purposes of conducting Maintenance. In such circumstances, BHP will only suspend the performance of a Transition Service to the extent necessary, taking into consideration the Service Standards and the nature and extent of the Maintenance.

(d) In respect of Maintenance which will cause a suspension of the Transition Services or cause the standard of those Transition Services to fall temporarily below the Service Standard, BHP must:

(i) to the extent possible, provide reasonable prior written notice to the Woodside Group of that Maintenance (having regard to historical practice and the notice BHP gives the Other BHP Entities and with a target of providing at least 72 hours’ notice where practicable); and

(ii) notify the Woodside Group as soon as reasonably practicable after becoming aware of the need for Maintenance if BHP is unable to provide advance notice pursuant to clause 14.8(d)(i) due to an emergency.

14.9 Transition Service Fees

(a) The Transition Service Fee for each Transition Service to be included in each Transition Service Schedule must be agreed by BHP and Woodside based on the BHP Charging Methodology.

(b) The Parties acknowledge and agree that any Transition Service Fee shown in Schedule 4 for a Transition Service identified as at the Execution Date:

Integration and Transition Services Agreement 27

(i) is based on the maturity of development of the scope of Transition Services identified by the Parties as at the Execution Date, the historical cost of BHP Group Members providing services equivalent to the relevant Transition Service within the BHP Group, and each Party’s knowledge of its business activities and experience of previous similar transactions; and

(ii) does not represent the final Transition Service Fee and each Transition Service Schedule will be further developed and agreed by the Parties pursuant to clause 14.1(c).

(c) BHP may request an increase to a Transition Service Fee for a Transition Service at any time during a Transition Service Term by notice in writing to Woodside, which increase may be agreed to by Woodside in writing (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld). Without limitation to Woodside’s discretion above, Woodside has no obligation to consent to any increase in excess of 10% of the Transition Service Fee unless BHP can demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of Woodside that a significant change in the scope of the Transition Services is required and could not have been reasonably anticipated by the Parties at the time that the Transition Service Fee was agreed.

(d) If the Parties are unable to agree an increase to a Transition Service Fee under clause 14.9(c) within 5 Business Days of the notice from BHP requesting the increase, then the matter must be referred to the dispute resolution process in clause 23.

14.10 Woodside obligations

In addition to any of Woodside’s inputs and obligations set out in a Transition Service Schedule:

(a) Woodside must, subject to compliance with Laws including applicable competition laws, provide all information and assistance reasonably necessary to enable BHP, any BHP Group Members, any subcontractors or any Third Party Suppliers, to perform the Transition Services;

(b) BHP, BHP Group Members, subcontractors and Third Party Suppliers are not obliged to perform the Transition Services, and will not be liable for any failure to provide the Transition Services or any additional costs incurred or otherwise required in order to provide the Transition Services, to the extent that Woodside fails to provide or delays in providing any such information or assistance; and

(c) for the Transition Service Term, Woodside must give BHP, any BHP Group Members, any subcontractors or any Third Party Suppliers, access to the premises and equipment as is reasonably required by BHP, BHP Group Members, subcontractors or Third Party Suppliers to supply the Transition Services to Woodside.

14.11 Suspension or cessation of Transition Services

(a) BHP may suspend, and is not obliged to provide, or procure the supply of, the Transition Services to the extent that:

(i) it is unable to do so because the BHP Group does not have the assets or rights to enable it to do so lawfully (provided that the relief granted to BHP in this clause 14.11(a)(i) will not apply to the extent that the BHP Group does not have the relevant assets or rights due to an intentional act by a BHP Group Member);

Integration and Transition Services Agreement 28

(ii) it is unable to do so because provision of a Transition Service, or a significant part of the Transition Service, is dependent on the continued provision of a Linked Transition Service that has been terminated or cannot be provided due to circumstances arising as a result of a Force Majeure Event as set out in clause 19;

(iii) it is unable to do so without being in breach of an applicable Law or a direction or instruction given by a Government Agency; or

(iv) BHP reasonably considers that the continued provision of the Transition Services by the BHP Group or a Third Party Supplier will have a material adverse impact on the BHP Group (provided that the relief granted to BHP in this clause 14.11(a)(iv) will not apply to the extent that the material adverse impact is due to an intentional act or omission by a BHP Group Member or is due to an event or circumstance that was or could reasonably have been in contemplation as at the Execution Date).

(b) BHP will notify Woodside as soon as possible after it becomes aware that it is unable or will become unable to continue to provide a Transition Service (whether temporarily or permanently).

(c) BHP must use its reasonable endeavours without additional charge to resume the supply of the Transition Services as soon as practicable after the advent of a circumstance described in clauses 14.11(a).

(d) BHP will keep Woodside informed of the process and timing for resumption of the suspended Transition Services and notify Woodside as soon as possible after it becomes aware that it is able or will become able to resume provision of a Transition Service that has been suspended pursuant to clause 14.11(a).

14.12 Requirement for reverse transition services

(a) If BHP considers, acting reasonably, that it will require transitional services to be provided by the Woodside Group to the BHP Group following Completion where, as a result of the Transaction, the BHP Group is no longer itself able to undertake certain required services, tasks, activities or functions that it previously undertook in the 12 month period immediately preceding the Execution Date, then BHP may issue a written notice to Woodside setting out details of the relevant transitional services that the BHP Group requires Woodside to provide.

(b) Within 45 days following notification under clause 14.12(a), the Parties must develop and agree a separate, binding agreement that will govern the provision of those transitional services to the BHP Group on the same basis, including as to costs, as the Transition Services under this agreement are provided and which will contain correlating terms to those terms in this agreement that are applicable to the Transition Services, adapted as necessary to apply to the relevant transitional services that BHP requires and as may be amended by agreement between the Parties.

15 Third Parties

15.1 Third Party Approvals

(a) To the extent that a Third Party Supplier’s agreement, consent or approval is required to permit:

Integration and Transition Services Agreement 29

(i) a BHP Group Member to perform or provide any of the Transition Services or perform any of the Integration Activities; or

(ii) a Woodside Group Member to receive, use or take the benefit of any Transition Services or any of the Integration Activities,

(a Third Party Approval), then BHP and Woodside must use their respective reasonable endeavours to obtain all required Third Party Approvals (in a form acceptable to BHP) as soon as reasonably possible following the Execution Date and, other than in respect of any Carry-over Transition Services, in any event not less than 10 days prior to Completion.

(b) If, despite both Parties complying with clause 15.1(a), BHP is nonetheless unable to perform a Transition Service or any of the Integration Activities (either in full or in part), or a Woodside Group Member is unable to receive, use or take the benefit of any of them, due to BHP being unable to obtain the relevant Third Party Approval on terms acceptable to BHP, or because a Third Party Approval ceases to be in force or effect, then BHP:

(i) must promptly notify Woodside of this fact;

(ii) will not be required to perform or provide any affected Transition Service or Integration Activities to the extent the inability to obtain the relevant Third Party Approval prevents it from doing so, and BHP is excused from, and excludes all liability, relating to such Transition Service or Integration Activity; and

(iii) must use its reasonable endeavours to provide or procure a form of workaround or an equivalent Transition Service on an alternative basis, where it is commercially and technically viable and practicable to do so.

(c) Any costs incurred by any BHP Group Member in obtaining or renewing the Third Party Approvals in accordance with this clause 15 will be borne by Woodside, including any agreed costs or monetary compensation which is required by a Third Party Supplier as a condition of it providing the relevant Third Party Approval.

(d) Woodside and BHP must each comply with, and ensure that their respective Personnel comply with, the terms of any Third Party Approval.

15.2 Indemnity in respect of Third Party Suppliers

(a) Woodside indemnifies each BHP Group Member and their respective Personnel (each an indemnified party) against and in respect of any loss which an indemnified party incurs or sustains in relation to a claim arising out of or in connection with the breach of a Third Party Agreement to the extent that the breach was caused by or contributed to by any negligent act or omission by, or any breach of this agreement by, a Woodside Group Member (or any Personnel of a Woodside Group Member).

(b) BHP holds the benefit of the indemnity in this clause 15.2 on trust for itself and each indemnified party.

before the Transition Services or Integration Activities can be provided, BHP and Woodside must implement such measures as are necessary to ensure the Transition Services or Integration Activities, as applicable, are provided in strict compliance with applicable competition laws and regulations, including but not limited to the Competition and Consumer Act.

Integration and Transition Services Agreement 32

(d) Except to the extent that the Parties otherwise agree, if any new Intellectual Property Rights are developed by or on behalf of BHP solely and directly in the course of providing the Transition Services or undertaking the Integration Activities, then, the Parties agree that as between BHP and Woodside, such rights will be owned by Woodside, and accordingly, BHP assigns to Woodside any such Intellectual Property Rights owned by BHP, and Woodside will licence such Intellectual Property Rights back to BHP on the terms of the licence in clause 18(b).
