extend the Delivery Period or any agreed Laycan, the Seller shall request the Buyer’s consent. The
Buyer may entertain or not entertain such request for extension in the Buyer's sole discretion and,

or other restrictive measures of any type whatsoever (“Sanctions”); and
(b) Where any performance by a Party would be in violation of, or expose such Party to punitive
measures under Sanctions, such Party (the “Affected Party”) shall, as soon as reasonably
practicable give written notice to the other Party of its inability to perform. Once such notice
has been given the Affected Party shall be entitled:

acts) until such time as the Affected Party may lawfully discharge such obligation; and/or
(d) where the inability to discharge the obligation continues (or is reasonably expected to
continue) until the end of the contractual time for discharge thereof, to a full release from
the affected obligation, provided that where the relevant obligation relates to payment for
Coal which has already been delivered, the affected payment obligation shall remain
suspended (without prejudice to the accrual of any interest on an outstanding payment
amount) until such time as the Affected Party may lawfully resume payment, in each case
without any liability whatsoever (including but not limited to any damages for breach of
contract, penalties, costs, fees and expenses).

remedied within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date on which the Party received written
notice of such breach having occurred.

compliance with obligations or conditions set forth in this contract shall not be deemed to be a
waiver to take action for a subsequent non-compliance of the same or other obligations or
conditions.

set forth herein constitute the sole terms and conditions. No modification or amendment of this
