We will provide you with a superannuation standard choice form. Please complete this form and give this to the VP, Chief Legal Officer & Secretary as soon as possible.

It is understood and agreed that in performing services as a director, you are acting as an independent contractor and not as an employee of the Company or any of its affiliates. You will not be entitled to participate in any benefit plan, policy or program sponsored or maintained by the Company or its affiliates for the benefit of their employees. You will be solely responsible for making all applicable tax filings and remittances with respect to amounts paid to you as a director. You are required to provide any information or forms reasonably requested by the Company to determine whether applicable law requires that taxes should be withheld from any payment made to you pursuant to this letter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company reasonably determines that applicable law requires that such taxes should be withheld, the Company reserves the right to withhold, as legally required, and to notify you accordingly.

You are entitled to be reimbursed travelling and other expenses you properly incur concerning the Company’s affairs, including attending and returning from general meetings of the Company or meetings of the Board or Board committees. It is the usual practice for the Company to provide transport and accommodation for Directors in respect of Company related business.

Except for expenses associated with travelling, you should obtain the approval of the Chairman for the expense before you incur it. Please note that the Company does not pay benefits (other than statutory entitlements) on the retirement of a Non-Executive Director.

Directors’ shareholding

The Company has established a Minimum Shareholding Policy for Non-Executive Directors (a copy of which will be provided to you) which requires Non-Executive Directors to maintain a minimum holding of Company securities.

The Company also has in place a Securities Dealing Policy (a copy of which will be provided to you) that regulates dealing in the Company’s securities by directors and their associates. You should make yourself familiar with this policy, as you are required to comply with it.

You are also required to disclose any trading in Company securities (refer below).

Ongoing disclosure of interests and matters affecting independence

We acknowledge that you have business and other interests outside the Company.

Copies of the current standing notices about interests of all current directors will be provided to you for your information. Your completed notification of interests will be circulated to other directors.

You are expected to declare any current conflict (or potential conflict) of interests and any potential conflict that you become aware of to the VP, Chief Legal Officer & Secretary as soon as apparent. This would include details of:

The Board may require you to take such steps as are necessary and reasonable to resolve any conflict of interest within an appropriate period. In the event of an actual or potential conflict, the Board may also determine that you should not receive access to certain books and records to which the conflict relates, including any relevant Board papers and that you should absent yourself from the room when the Board discusses and votes on matters to which the conflict relates.

You have been given guidelines, contained in the Board Charter and Corporate Governance Guidelines, which have been adopted to assess the independence of directors and have confirmed that you regard yourself as an independent director within the framework of those guidelines. The Board will assess the independence of each Non-Executive Director at least once a year, and more frequently if required.

If there is a change in circumstances which could affect your independence (or be perceived to do so), you must immediately disclose this to the Board.

Notification of interests to ASX

As a listed company, the Company is required to provide to the ASX information in relation to a director’s interests and transactions in securities of the Company or its related bodies corporate, and to make arrangements with directors obliging them to provide certain information to enable the Company to meet its disclosure obligations within the required time frame. A copy of the Listing Rule 3.19B agreement for these purposes will be provided to you for your completion and signing.

In addition, you will be expected to comply with the Company’s reporting requirements of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. If the Company becomes listed in the United States, you will be expected to comply with certain additional disclosures relating to director interests as required in the United States.

There are prescribed forms for notification to ASX. The VP, Chief Legal Officer & Secretary will prepare the initial notification based on the information you provide in relation to your current interests and holdings and will lodge it with the ASX. Please notify the VP, Chief Legal Officer & Secretary within the time frames set out in the Listing Rule 3.19B agreement if your interests in the Company change.

Indemnity, insurance and access to Company documents

You will continue to benefit from your existing Agreement of Indemnity, Insurance and Access (Indemnity Agreement) which terms are similar to those entered into with the other Company directors. At your request, a copy of your Indemnity Agreement is available to you.

Upon request, a copy of the Company’s D&O insurance policy will be provided to you. This D&O insurance policy will be maintained while you hold office of director and for a further 7 years after you cease to be a director of the Company, under the terms of the Indemnity Agreement.

Independent Advice

Occasions may arise when you consider that you need professional advice in the furtherance of your duties as a director and it is understood that it may be appropriate for you to seek advice from independent advisers at the Company’s expense. It is expected that you will comply with relevant Board policies when doing so (including consulting with the Executive Chair before seeking such advice).

Confidentiality

Directors must keep confidential Board discussions, deliberations and decisions which have not been publicly disclosed by the Company.

Confidential information received by a director in the course of the exercise of directorial duties remains the property of the Company and it is improper to disclose it (or allow it to be disclosed) either during your appointment or following cessation of your appointment, unless that disclosure has been properly authorised (including in the case of certain directors, pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement between the Company and Coronado Group LLC), or is required by law.

Nothing in this letter prohibits a director from providing truthful information to governmental or regulatory bodies, including reporting possible violations of federal law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity, including but not limited to the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Congress, and any agency Inspector General, or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistle-blower provisions of federal law or regulation. Directors do not need the prior authorization of the Company to make any such reports or disclosures, and directors are not required to notify the Company that such reports or disclosures have been made.

In addition, some information coming to the Board may be subject to a confidentiality undertaking in favour of third persons, and use of that information in breach of the undertaking could expose the Company to liability.

Management

All directors have access to the VP, Chief Legal Officer & Secretary. If you wish to contact a member of the Company’s management, the VP, Chief Legal Officer & Secretary is available to facilitate the meeting.

Charters and policies

In addition to the documents specifically referred to in this letter, Schedule 1 lists various other materials relevant to your role which will be provided to you. These policies and other documents are designed to ensure that the directors, management and employees not only meet their legal obligations, but maintain the Company’s core values.

From time-to-time, the Company may revise the existing policies and adopt new policies in accordance with applicable legislative and governance requirements.

We look forward to welcoming you to our Board. Please feel free to contact me or Christopher Meyering, VP, Chief Legal Officer & Secretary, if you have any queries in relation to the above.

Yours sincerely

Garold R. Spindler
