Agreement) to negotiate in good faith:
the sale to Pluton of WEG’s 50% Joint Venture interest in the Cockatoo Island project;
the termination of the Sales and Marketing Agreement between Pluton and WEG; and
the buy-back of WEG’s 48,845,070 Pluton shares (by way of a selective capital reduction which

product will be applied to repay Pluton for those payments.
If the Sale Agreement is not entered in to or completed within 180 days of the Letter Agreement:
any amounts paid by Pluton of WEG’s behalf (as outlined above) will not be payable by WEG but
will be deducted from WEG’s share of the sale of Joint Venture product;
Pluton will resign as Manager of the Joint venture on notice from WEG and the parties will
negotiate in good faith to appoint a new Manager; and
WEG may give notice ceasing operations at the Project and the parties must work together in
good faith to find a solution to operate the Joint Venture.
In addition, WEG nominated Director Dianmin Chen has resigned from Pluton’s Board effective
immediately. The remaining Board of Directors thank Dr Chen for his service and wish him all the best
with his future endeavours.
