The State shall from time to time on the written application of the Company grant to the Company a license or licenses over Crown lands for the purpose of the Company by its servants agents contractors invitees and customers enjoying the right of ingress to and egress from all or any one or more part or parts of the work sites for a term or terms respectively concurrent with the term (including renewals) of the lease of the production site and on such terms and conditions as shall be reasonable having regard to the requirements of the Company in respect of its obligations to construct maintain operate and inspect the improvements from time to time constructed or installed on the work sites and to the overall development and use by others of those Crown lands. Export License 3 14. If at any time or times under Commonwealth law an export license is required by the Company for the export of salt then on written request by the Company the State shall make representation to the Government of the Commonwealth of Australia for the grant to the Company of a license or licenses under Commonwealth law for the export of salt in such quantities and at such rate or rates as shall be reasonable having regard to the tonnage of salt being produced by the Company at such time or times as a license is so required and to all contracts made or likely to be made by the Company for the export or supply of salt from the work sites. Diversion of fresh water 3 15. (1) To enable the Company to successfully operate it will be necessary to prevent fresh or rain water from entering the concentrating and crystallising areas and accordingly the Company desires the right to divert from time to time the fresh or rain water flowing in the Ridley River and other watercourses from their respective normal courses. The State acknowledges the necessity of such diversions and will so far as practicable having regard to the users of the surrounding land permit the Company to make such diversions subject to and in accordance with the provisions set out in subclause (2) of this clause. (2) When and as often as the Company anticipates that it desires to make a diversion for the purpose aforesaid and where such diversion may affect lands outside the work sites it shall before commencing any such diversion immediately submit to the Minister in duplicate its proposals (which shall include all plans and specifications) in respect of the diversion it is desirous of making and shall also give to the Minister such further information and plans in respect of the diversion as the Minister from time to time reasonably requires in respect of the diversion. As soon as reasonably possible after the Minister has been given the Company's proposals and such further information and plans which he may require the Minister shall either inform the Company in writing — (i) that he has approved of the Company's proposals as submitted by the Company or as amended by him whereupon the Company shall be at liberty (subject to the provisions of subclause (3) of this clause) to proceed with the making of the diversion in the manner submitted or as amended by the Minister (as the case may be); or (ii) that he has disapproved of the Company's proposals or as amended or qualified by any further information and plans (as the case may be). Within the month next following the receipt of this disapproval the Company may elect by notice to the Minister to refer to arbitration the dispute as to the reasonableness of the Minister's disapproval and within the month following such election shall refer such dispute to arbitration. If by the award on arbitration the dispute is decided against the Company then the Company shall not be at liberty to proceed to make such diversion but if the question is decided in favour of the Company the award will take effect as an approval by the Minister and the Company shall be at liberty (subject to the provisions of subclause (3) of this clause) to proceed to make such diversion in accordance with the terms of the award. (3) Before the Company commences to proceed with the making of the diversion referred to in the immediately preceding subclause the Company shall enter into a Deed of Covenant with the State in such form as the Minister in his absolute discretion determines covenanting to indemnify the Crown in right of the State against all claims costs and expenses which may at any time or times be made against the Crown in the right of the State in respect of that diversion or arising out of or incidental to or in consequence of that diversion. Limitation of Liability 3 16. Where the Company from time to time constructs a levee or other works on the production site for or incidental to the production of salt and thereafter a third party makes improvements to lands or becomes the owner of improvements so made on lands adjacent to the production site and subsequent to those improvements being made the Company removes (either wholly or partly) or fails to maintain or to repair that levee or other works and in consequence thereof the third party suffers sustains or incurs damage to those improvements or any part thereof then notwithstanding any Act or any rule of law or equity to the contrary the Company shall not be liable for those damages to any person or persons whatsoever. Employees 3 17. The parties hereto acknowledge the principle that in the operation of a solar salt plant all employees during their respective normal working hours are not continuously or fully engaged in the performance or discharge of their respective duties and hence from time to time there is or could be a surplus in the number of employees required by the Company. To avoid this so happening and to maintain so far as practicable full employment for all its employees at all times the Company proposes to use employees whilst not engaged in the performance or discharge of their respective duties to assist in the loading of ships at wharf with salt produced at the work sites and in the supervision thereof and to perform or discharge such other duties as may be assigned to them from time to time by the Company. To enable the foregoing objectives to be put into practice the State will at the request of the Company made to it from time to time use reasonable endeavours to assist in the implementation and achievement of these objectives. Default 3 18. The parties hereto covenant and agree with each other as follows: — (a) that in any of the following events namely if the Company fails in any year after the 30th June, 1975 to ship at least 475,000 tons of salt and furthermore the average of the tonnage shipped in that year and in the previous three years is less than 475,000 tons a year or if the Company makes default in the due and punctual performance of any of the covenants agreements or obligations to the State herein or in any lease sub‑lease easement license or other title or document granted or assigned under this Agreement on its part to be performed or observed and shall fail to remedy that default within reasonable time after notice specifying the default is given to it by the State (or if the alleged default is contested by the Company and promptly submitted to arbitration within a reasonable time fixed by the arbitration award where the question is decided against the Company the arbitrator finding that there was a bona fide dispute and that the Company had not been dilatory in pursuing the arbitration) or if the Company abandons or repudiates its operations under this Agreement or if the Company goes into liquidation (other that a voluntary liquidation for the purpose of reconstruction) or if the Company gives the notice referred to in subclause (2) of clause 29 hereof then and in any of such events the State may by notice given to the Company determine this Agreement and the rights of the Company hereunder and under any lease license easement or right granted or demised hereunder or pursuant hereto and upon receipt by the Company of that notice this Agreement and the rights of the Company hereunder and under any lease license easement or right granted or demised hereunder or pursuant hereto shall determine PROVIDED HOWEVER that if the Company fails to remedy any default after notice is given to the Company specifying the default or within the time fixed by the arbitration award as aforesaid and the Company has not given notice to the State under subclause (2) of clause 29 hereof the State instead of determining this Agreement as aforesaid because of such default may itself remedy such default or cause the same to be remedied (for which purpose the State by its agents workmen or otherwise shall have full power to enter upon lands occupied by the Company and to make use of all plant and machinery equipment and installations thereon) and the costs and expenses incurred by the State remedying or causing to be remedied such default shall be a debt payable by the Company to the State on demand made by the State: Effect of determination of Agreement 3 (b) that on the cessation or determination of this Agreement: (i) except as otherwise agreed by the Minister the rights of the Company to in or under this Agreement and the rights of the Company or any assignee of the Company or any mortgagee to in or under any lease license easement or right granted or demised hereunder or pursuant hereto shall thereupon cease and determine but without prejudice to the liability of either of the parties hereto in respect of any antecedent breach or default under this Agreement AND the Company shall without further consideration but otherwise at the request and cost of the State transfer or surrender to the State or the Crown all land the subject of any lease license easement or right granted or demised hereunder or pursuant hereto AND the Company hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Minister or such person as he may from time to time nominate the true and lawful attorney of the Company to execute the transfer or surrenders aforesaid; (ii) the Company shall forthwith pay to the State all moneys which may then have become payable or accrued due; (iii) save as aforesaid and as provided in paragraph (c) of this clause and subclause (2) of clause 29 hereof neither of the parties hereto shall have any claim against the other with respect to any matter or thing in or arising out of this Agreement; (c) that on the cessation or determination of any lease license easement or right granted or demised hereunder or pursuant hereto by the State to the Company or (except as otherwise agreed by the Minister) to an associated company or other assignee of the Company under clause 21 hereof the improvements and things other than plant equipment erected on the relevant land and provided for in connection therewith shall remain or become the absolute property of the Crown without compensation and freed and discharged from all mortgages and encumbrances and the Company will do and execute such documents and things (including surrenders) as the State may reasonably require to give effect to this provision AND the Company hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Minister or such person as he may from time to time nominate the true and lawful attorney of the Company to execute those documents and things (including surrenders). In the event of the Company prior to such expiration or determination or subsequent thereto deciding to remove its plant equipment or any of them from any land the Company shall not do so without first notifying the State in writing of its decision and thereby granting to the State the right or option exerciseable within three (3) months thereafter to purchase at valuation in situ the said plant equipment or any of them. Such valuation will be mutually agreed or in default of agreement shall be made by such competent valuer as the parties hereto may appoint or failing agreement as to such appointment then by two competent valuers one to be appointed by each party or by an umpire appointed by such valuers should they fail to agree; (d) the provisions of this clause shall not apply to any land or the improvements thereon the subject of a grant of an estate in fee simple granted to the Company pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (d) of subclause (1) of clause 10 hereof nor to any land or the improvements thereon the subject of a lease granted under the provisions of such subclause to which the Company at the date of cessation or determination of this Agreement is entitled to a grant of an estate in fee simple under the provisions of paragraph (d) of that subclause. Salt for use in Australia 3 19. The Company acknowledges the desire of the State to have available a constant and reliable source of supply of salt for use in Australia. To attain this object the Company, subject to the fulfilment of its overseas contracts will use its best endeavours to have such quantities of salt available at all times during the currency of this Agreement for sale for use in Australia as will meet reasonable demands therefor made on the Company from time to time at a price which is competitive in the Australian market provided that such price is not less than that which the Company is receiving or able to receive for similar quantities of salt sold on similar terms and conditions for use outside Australia. Use of Channel Approach 3 20. (1) During the course of the negotiation of this Agreement the State informed the Company that the State would require the Company to pay to "the Joint Venturers" referred to in the Agreement scheduled to the Iron Ore (Mount Goldsworthy) Agreement Act 1964 (No. 97 of 1964) fair and reasonable charges for the use of the "channel approach" referred to in paragraph (e) of subclause (4) of clause 9 of the said Agreement and as a result thereof certain negotiations took place between the Company and the Joint Venturers and the Company has informed the State that the Company and the Joint Venturers have agreed that the Company shall pay to the Joint Venturers certain charges for the right to use the said "channel approach" by the Company and by ships transporting or about to transport salt from the work sites.

Restrictions on resumption 3 (2) The State further covenants with the Company that the State: — (a) having regard to the particular nature of the industry proposed to be established by the Company under this Agreement and subject to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder shall not resume or suffer or permit to be resumed by any State instrumentality or by any local or other authority of the said State any portion of the work sites the resumption of which would unreasonably impede the Company's activities nor shall the State create or permit or suffer to be created or granted by an instrumentality or authority of the said State as aforesaid any road right of way or easement of any nature or kind whatsoever over or in respect of the work sites which may unduly prejudice or interfere with the Company's operations hereunder without the consent in writing of the Company first having been obtained which consent shall not be arbitrarily or unreasonably withheld; No discriminatory taxes or charges 3 (b) except as provided in this Agreement shall not impose nor permit nor authorise any of its agencies or instrumentalities or any local or other authority of the State to impose discriminatory taxes rates or charges of any nature whatsoever on or in respect of the titles property or other assets products materials or services used or produced by or through the operations of the Company in the conduct of the Company's business hereunder nor shall the State take or permit to be taken by any such State authority any other discriminatory action which would deprive the Company of full enjoyment of the rights granted and intended to be granted under this Agreement; Upgrading of roads 3 (c) shall at the request and cost of the Company (except where and to the extent that the Commissioner of Main Roads agrees to bear the whole or part of the cost involved) widen upgrade or realign any public road over which the State has control subject to the prior approval of the said Commissioner to the proposed work; Rating 3 (d) notwithstanding the provisions of any Act or anything done or purported to be done under any Act the valuation of all lands (whether of a freehold or leasehold nature) the subject of this Agreement (except as to any part upon which a permanent residence shall be erected or which is occupied in connection therewith) shall for rating purposes be deemed to be on the unimproved value thereof and no such lands shall be subject to any discriminatory rate; Labour conditions 3 (e) during the currency of this Agreement and subject to compliance with its obligations hereunder the Company shall not be required to comply with the labour conditions imposed by or under any Act in regard to any lease of any land within the work sites.
