4.3	Scheme Consideration

(a)

The aggregate number of Consideration Shares to be issued by the Purchaser to each White Energy Shares Scheme Participant on the Merger Implementation Date shall be calculated as follows:

(i)

the White Energy Market Value shall be determined;

(ii)

the Adjusted Funds as at the Effective Date shall be added to the White Energy Market Value and the sum thereof shall represent the Transaction Value;

(iii)

the amount by which the White Energy Market Value bears to the Transaction Value (by dividing the White Energy Market Value by the Transaction Value) shall be expressed as a percentage and shall be deemed to be the Percentage Interest;

(iv)

the Purchaser Outstanding Shares shall be divided by the result of the equation, 1.00 minus the Percentage Interest, and the result thereof shall be the Total Adjusted Outstanding Shares;

(v)

the Total Adjusted Outstanding Shares less the Purchaser Outstanding Shares shall represent the Consideration Shares;

(vi)

the Consideration Shares shall then be divided by the White Energy Diluted Shares and the result shall be called the Share Issue Ratio; and

(vii)

the number of White Energy Shares held by each White Energy Shares Scheme Participant shall be multiplied by the Share Issue Ratio and the result shall be the number of Consideration Shares each White Energy Shares Scheme Participant shall receive (after rounding downwards).

(ii)

the alternative exercise prices of the Purchaser Options shall be calculated as follows:

(A)

the current exercise price of the White Energy Options shall be divided by the Share Issue Ratio and the result shall be the exercise price of the Purchaser Options (in Australian dollars); and

(B)

the current exercise price of the White Energy Options shall be divided by the Share Issue Ratio and the result shall be multiplied by the Exchange Rate and the result shall be the exercise price of the Purchaser Options (in US dollars).

5.	EXAMPLE OF METHOD OF CALCULATING CONSIDERATION SHARES AND PURCHASER OPTIONS

5.1	Consideration Shares – Example based on $100.00 million of Adjusted Funds

For the avoidance of doubt, if, for example:

(a)

the White Energy Diluted Shares at the Effective Date are 192,277,902 ordinary shares;

(b)

the White Energy Market Value at the Effective Date is $480,694,755;

(c)

there are $100.0 million of Adjusted Funds available on the Effective Date, and therefore the Transaction Value is $580,694,755;

(d)

the Percentage Interest is 0.827792486 ($480,694,755/$580,694,755) and the result of the equation in Section 4.3(a)(iv) is 0.172207514;

(e)

solely for the purpose of this example, the Purchaser Outstanding Shares shall be taken to be 14,000,000 (being the number of Purchaser Shares as at the Execution Date);

(f)

the Total Adjusted Outstanding Shares are therefore 81,297,266 Purchaser Shares;

(g)

the Consideration Shares to be issued to the Scheme Participants on the Merger Implementation Date is 67,297,266 Shares (81,297,266 – 14,000,000);

(h)

the Share Issue Ratio is the result of 67,297,266 divided by 192,277,902 and is 0.35000;

(i)

assuming a White Energy Shares Scheme Participant holds 1,000 White Energy Shares on the Record Date, such White Energy Shares Scheme Participant shall receive 350 Purchaser Shares (1,000 multiplied by 0.35000).

exercisable, at the Options Scheme Participant’s election, on or before 30 August 2010 at:

(b)

the White Energy Market Value at the Effective Date is $480,694,755;

(c)

there are $140.0 million of Adjusted Funds available on the Effective Date, and therefore the Transaction Value is $620,694,755;

(d)

the Percentage Interest is 0.774446298 ($480,694,755/$620,694,755) and the result of the equation in Section 4.3(a)(iv) is 0.22553702;

(e)

solely for the purpose of this example, the Purchaser Outstanding Shares shall be taken to be 14,000,000 (being the number of Purchaser Shares as at the Execution Date);

the Total Adjusted Outstanding Shares are therefore 62,069,476 Purchaser Shares;

(g)

the Consideration Shares to be issued to the Scheme Participants on the Merger Implementation Date is 48,069,476 Shares (62,069,476 – 14,000,000);

(h)

the Share Issue Ratio is the result of 48,069,476 divided by 192,277,902 and is 0.25000;

(i)

assuming a White Energy Shares Scheme Participant holds 1,000 White Energy Shares on the Record Date, such White Energy Shares Scheme Participant shall receive 250 Purchaser Shares (1,000 multiplied by 0.25000).
