(a) If the Proponent intends to incur costs in obtaining any information (including any geotechnical information) which:
(1) is also likely to be required by the Other Proponent; and
(2) it is reasonable for both the Proponent and the Other Proponent to share to avoid the duplication of costs,
the Proponent may request the Project Owner to procure the relevant information on behalf of the Proponent and the Other Proponent.
(b) The Project Owner may:
(1) refuse or agree (including subject to any conditions) to a request made under clause 9.3(a) in its discretion; and
(2) if it agrees, procure the information and provide it to the Proponent and Other Proponent, at the Project Owner's cost and expense.
