(b) | Consistent with the general proposition provided inclause 5.3(a), the Purchase Price Adjustment is the net amount of the following: |

(ii) | an increase adjustment of US$4,556,700.78, which is equal to the amounts receivable by the Seller as at the Effective Date in |

(iii) | a decrease adjustment equal to any amounts received by the Seller referred to inclause 5.3(a)(ii) (net of any GST liability incurred or to be incurred by the Seller in respect of such amounts and net of any bank fees and fees or charges payable to ACM), |
and which amounts are to be calculated in the following currencies:
(iv) | the Called Sums and other amounts inclause 5.3(b)(i) in US$, being the US$ that were actually converted to A$ for such payment; |
(v) | the proceeds of sales of Coal inclause 5.3(b)(ii) in US$ as at the Effective Date; and |

(b) | If a Calculation Dispute between the Buyer and the Seller regarding the Calculation arises then if the Buyer and the Seller have not resolved the Calculation Dispute within 15 Business Days, the Calculation Dispute must promptly be submitted for determination to the Expert who will determine the matter or matters in dispute. |
(c) | The Expert will be instructed to finish his or her determination no later than 10 Business Days after the date of his or her appointment. |
(d) | The Expert will act as an expert and not as an arbitrator and his or her decision will be final and binding on the parties in the absence of manifest error and the Calculation will then be deemed amended accordingly. |
(e) | The cost of the determination by the Expert will be borne by the Buyer and the Seller in such manner as the Expert determines (having regard to the merits of the Calculation Dispute). In the absence of any such determination, the costs of the Expert will be borne by the Buyer and the Seller equally. |
