1.3 Listing Rules

In this Constitution:

13312654.1

5

  • (a) a reference to the Listing Rules is to have effect if, and only if, at the relevant time, the Company is listed and otherwise is to be disregarded; and

  • (b) if the provisions of the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules conflict on the same matter, the provisions of the Corporations Act prevail.

1.4

Exclusion of replaceable rules

All of the replaceable rules contained in the Corporations Act are displaced by this Constitution and do not apply to the Company.

1.5

Validity of acts

Despite anything contained in this Constitution, if it is found that some formality required by this Constitution to be done has been inadvertently omitted or has not been carried out, such omission does not invalidate any resolution, act, matter or thing which, but for such omission, would have been valid unless it is proved to the satisfaction of the directors, or a majority of them, that such omission has directly prejudiced any member financially. The decision of the directors is conclusive and final and binds all members.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

2.1 Control of the directors

Subject to the provisions of this Constitution, the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, and without prejudice to any special rights previously conferred on the holders of any existing shares:

  • (a) the shares in the Company are under the control of the directors; and

  • (b) the directors may allot, grant options over, or otherwise dispose of, the shares to such persons, at such times, on such terms and conditions, and having attached to them such preferred, deferred or other rights, and at such issue price, for cash or non-cash consideration, with the issue price paid or unpaid, as the directors think fit.

2.2

Variation of rights

If at any time the issued shares are divided into different classes, the rights attached to any class of shares (unless the terms of issue of that class otherwise provide) may only be varied or cancelled with either:

  • (a) the sanction of a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of shares of that class; or

  • (b) the written consent of members with at least 75% of the votes in the class.

2.3

Class meetings

In relation to any such separate meeting of the holders of shares in a class, the provisions of this Constitution which relate to meetings of members apply, as far as

13312654.1

6

they are capable of application and changed as necessary, except that any member present holding shares of the class may demand a poll.

2.4 Further issues of shares in the same class

The rights attached to a class of shares are not to be considered as varied if further shares of that class are issued on identical terms, except if the terms of issue of that class of shares otherwise provide.

2.5

Reclassification of shares

Subject to this Constitution, the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Company may at any time by ordinary resolution convert and reclassify all or any of the issued shares of one class into shares of another class or classes.

2.6

Brokerage and commission

The Company may pay brokerage or commission to a person in respect of that person or another person agreeing to take up shares in the Company. Payments by way of brokerage or commission (in respect of the issue of any shares) may be satisfied by the payment of cash, by the allotment of fully or partly paid shares, or a combination of these.

2.7 Recognition of third party interests

Except as required by law or in this Constitution, the Company must not recognise any person as holding any share upon any trust. The Company is not bound by, or compelled in any way to recognise (even when having notice of it), any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any share or unit of a share or (except only as otherwise provided by this Constitution or by law) any other right in respect of any share except an absolute right of ownership of it in the registered holder.

2.8 Conversion of shares into larger or smaller number

The Company may by ordinary resolution convert all or any of its shares into a larger or smaller number of shares. Any amount unpaid on shares being converted is to be divided equally among the shares that replace those shares.

2.9

Adjustments

The directors may do all things necessary to give effect to any such resolution including where a member becomes entitled to a fraction of a share on consolidation any or all of:

  • (a) making provision for the issue of fractional certificates;

  • (b) making cash payments;

  • (c) determining that all or any fractions may be disregarded;

  • (d) appointing a trustee to deal with any fractions on behalf of members; and

  • (e) rounding each fractional entitlement to the nearest whole share.

13312654.1

7

and may discriminate in the treatment of fractional entitlements of members where the directors consider it to be fair and in the interests of members as a whole in all the circumstances.

2.10 Capital Reallocation

  • (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Constitution, the Company may at any time issue shares ( Capital Reallocation Shares ) in either of the following circumstances:

  • (i) to the holders of Stapled Securities if a Stapled Entity (or, where the Stapled Entity is a trust, the trustee of that Stapled Entity) makes an application for Capital Reallocation Shares as agent for the holders of Stapled Securities and applies a distribution paid out of that Stapled Entity towards the issue price for those Capital Reallocation Shares; or

  • (ii) to any Stapled Entity if the company is satisfied that immediately following the issue of such Capital Reallocation Shares, those Capital Reallocation Shares will be distributed pro rata to the holders of Stapled Securities,

so long as:

  • (iii) immediately following the issue of Capital Reallocation Shares referred to in paragraph (i) above or the in-specie distribution referred to in paragraph (ii) above, the company immediately consolidates the Capital Reallocation Shares with all other shares then on issue in the company such that the total number of shares on issue after the consolidation is equal to the total number of shares on issue immediately prior to the issue of the Capital Reallocation Shares; and

  • (iv) the members have by ordinary resolution approved the consolidation of shares referred to in paragraph (iii) above.

  • (b) The share resulting from the consolidation of a share ( Original Share ) with a Capital Reallocation Share pursuant to Clause 2.10(a) will be taken for all purposes to be stapled to the same Attached Securities as that to which the Original Share was stapled.

2.11 Application of capital reduction to capitalise Stapled Entity

The company may by ordinary resolution reduce its share capital by equal reduction and the members may by ordinary resolution authorise the company, as agent for and in the name of each member, to apply the amount of the reduction that the member is otherwise entitled to, as additional capital to a Stapled Entity pro rata in proportion to the number of securities held by the member in that Stapled Entity.

13312654.1

3. CERTIFICATES

3.1 Uncertificated mode

Despite any other provision of this Constitution:

  • (a) the Company need not issue a certificate, and may cancel any certificate without issuing a certificate in substitution, in respect of any marketable security of the Company in any circumstances where the non-issue of that certificate is permitted by law; and

  • (b) where paragraph (a) applies, any reference to a certificate in this Constitution is to be disregarded in relation to that marketable security.

3.2 Holding statements

Where the directors have determined not to issue a certificate or to cancel a certificate in respect of any marketable security of the Company, a member is entitled to receive a statement of the holdings of the member setting out the number of marketable securities and any other matter of which the Company is required to provide particulars under this Constitution, the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules or the ASX Settlement Operating Rules.

3.3 If certificates required

To the extent that certificates are required for marketable securities of the Company:

  • (a) the Company must issue certificates of title to marketable securities of the Company in accordance with the Corporations Act and, if the Company is listed, the Listing Rules;

  • (b) a member is entitled, without charge, to one certificate for the marketable securities of the Company of each class registered in the member's sole name or to several certificates each for a reasonable part of those marketable securities;

  • (c) if any marketable securities of the Company are held by 2 or more persons, the Company is only required to issue the same number of certificates as if those marketable securities were held by one person and delivery of a certificate so issued to any of those persons is sufficient delivery to all of them; and

  • (d) if a certificate is lost, destroyed, worn out or defaced, then upon production of the document (if available) to the directors, they may order it to be cancelled and may issue a new certificate in substitution subject to the conditions prescribed by the Corporations Act and, if the Company is listed, the Listing Rules.

13312654.1

4. LIEN

4.1 Lien for calls

The Company has a first and paramount lien for unpaid calls and instalments, and interest on such sums, and expenses incurred in relation to those items upon the specific shares registered in the name of each member (whether solely or jointly with others) in respect of which such money is due and unpaid. Such lien extends to all dividends at any time declared or distributed in respect of such shares. Unless otherwise agreed, the registration of a transfer of shares operates as a waiver of the Company's lien on any such shares.

4.2 Lien on payments required to be made by the Company

If any law for the time being of any place imposes or purports to impose any immediate, future or possible liability upon the Company to make any payment, or empowers any government or taxing authority or government official to require the Company to make any payment in respect of any shares registered in the register as held either jointly or solely by any member, or in respect of any dividends or other moneys due or payable or accruing due or which may become due or payable to such member by the Company on or in respect of any such shares, or for or on account of or in respect of any member and whether in consequence of:

  • (a) the death of such member;

  • (b) the liability for income tax or other tax by such member;

  • (c) the liability for any estate, probate, succession, death, stamp or other duty by the executor or administrator of such member or by or out of the member's estate; or

  • (d) any other act or thing;

in every such case the Company:

  • (i) must be fully indemnified by such member or the member's executor or administrator from all liability;

  • (ii) has a first and paramount lien upon all shares registered in the register as held either jointly or solely by such member and upon all dividends and other money payable in respect of such shares for any liability arising under or in consequence of any such law and for any amount paid in complete or partial satisfaction of such liability and for interest on any amount so paid at the rate per cent per annum set by the directors from the date of payment to the date of repayment and may deduct from or set off against any such dividend or other money so payable any moneys so paid or payable by the Company together with that interest;

  • (iii) may recover as a debt due from such member or the member's executor or administrator wherever constituted any money paid by the Company under or in consequence of any such law and interest

13312654.1

10

or such money at the rate and for that period in excess of any dividend or other such money then due or payable by the Company to such member;

  • (iv) if such shares are not CHESS approved securities under the ASX Settlement Operating Rules, may, if any such money is paid or payable by the Company under any such law, refuse to register a transfer of any such shares by any such member or the member's executor or administrator until such money with that interest is set off or deducted or in case the same exceeds the amount of any such dividend or other money then due or payable by the Company to such member until such excess is paid to the Company; or

  • (v) if such shares are CHESS approved securities under the ASX Settlement Operating Rules, and, if any such money is paid or payable by the Company under any such law, may if the Exchange has authorised the Company in writing to do so, request the securities clearing house to apply a holding lock to such shares.

4.3 Other remedies of the Company

Nothing in this Constitution prejudices or affects any right or remedy which any such law may confer or purport to confer on the Company and, as between the Company and every such member, the member's executor, administrator and estate, wherever constituted or situated, any right or remedy which such law confers or purports to confer on the Company is enforceable by the Company.

4.4 Sale under lien

The Company may sell, or cause to be sold, in such manner as the directors think fit any shares on which the Company has a lien and any Attached Securities if:

  • (a) a sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable;

  • (b) a notice in writing stating and demanding payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable has been given to the registered holder for the time being of the share or the person entitled to it by reason of death or bankruptcy; and

  • (c) that notice remains unsatisfied 14 days after it was given.

4.5

Transfer

To give effect to any such sale the directors may authorise some person to transfer the shares and Attached Securities sold to the purchaser of the shares. The purchaser must be registered as the holder of the shares and Attached Securities comprised in any such transfer and the purchaser is not bound to see to the application of the purchase money nor is the purchaser's title to the shares and Attached Securities affected by any irregularity or invalidity in connection with the sale.

13312654.1

11

4.6 Application of proceeds

The proceeds of the sale of the shares must be received by the Company and applied in payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable and the residue, if any, must (subject to a like lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the shares before the sale) be paid to the person entitled to the shares immediately prior to the time of the sale. If the Company or its nominee receives consideration for any Attached Security, it must account to each Stapled Entity for that portion of the consideration received in respect of that Attached Security, having regard to the fair value of the shares and each of the Attached Securities.

4.7 Effect of forfeiture

Any member whose shares have been forfeited is, despite that fact, liable to pay and must immediately pay to the Company and the relevant Stapled Entities all calls, instalments, interest and expenses owing upon or in respect of such shares and Attached Securities at the time of the forfeiture together with interest on such items from the time of forfeiture until payment at such rate as the directors may determine. The directors may enforce the payment of such money, or any part of it if they think fit, but they are not under any obligation to do so.

5. CALLS ON SHARES

5.1 Calls made by the directors

Subject to the terms of issue of any shares, the directors may at any time make such calls as they think fit upon the members in respect of any money unpaid on the shares held by them respectively. A call may be made payable by instalments. A call may be revoked, postponed or extended as the directors determine.

5.2 Time of call

A call is deemed to be made at the time when the resolution of the directors authorising such call was passed.

5.3 Payment of call

Upon receiving at least 14 days’ notice specifying the time and place of payment, each member must pay to the Company, by the time and at the place so specified, the amount called on the member’s shares. The non-receipt of a notice of a call by, or the accidental omission to give notice of a call to, any of the members does not invalidate the call.

5.4 Fixed payments

If by the terms of issue of any shares or otherwise any amount is made payable at any fixed time or by instalments at fixed times, every such amount or instalment is payable as if it were a call duly made by the directors and of which due notice had been given. In case of non-payment, the provisions of this Constitution as to payment of interest, expenses, and forfeiture or otherwise apply as if such sum had become payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

13312654.1

12

5.5 Stapled Securities

A partly paid Ordinary Share which forms part of a Stapled Security will not be credited or treated as fully paid until:

  • (a) the Company has received all unpaid money in relation to that Ordinary Share; and

  • (b) the Stapled Entities have received all unpaid money in relation to the Attached Securities to which it is Stapled.

5.6 Interest on unpaid call

If a sum called is not paid on or before the date for payment of it the person from whom the sum is due must pay interest on the sum (or on so much as remains unpaid from time to time) at such rate as the directors may determine calculated from the day appointed for the payment of it until the time of actual payment. The directors may waive such interest in whole or in part.

5.7 Joint holders’ liability

The joint holders of a share are jointly and severally liable to pay all amounts of instalments and calls in respect of the share.

5.8 Differences in terms of issue

The directors may, on the issue of shares, differentiate between the holders as to the amount of calls to be paid and times of payment.

5.9 Recovery action

If a call is not paid the Company may proceed to recover it with interest and expenses (if any) by action, suit or otherwise. The right of action, suit or otherwise is without prejudice to the right to forfeit the share of any member so in arrears and either or both of such rights may be exercised by the directors.

5.10 Proof of call

On the trial of any action for the recovery of any call or of any interest or expenses upon or in respect of any call it is sufficient to prove that:

  • (a) the name of the member sued is entered in the register as the holder, or one of the holders, of the shares in respect of which such debt accrued;

  • (b) the resolution making the call is duly recorded in the minute book;

  • (c) notice of such call was duly given to the registered holder of the shares or, in the case of calls or instalments payable at fixed times, by the terms of issue of any share or otherwise to prove such terms; and

  • (d) such sum or call has not been paid.

13312654.1

13

It is not necessary to prove the appointment of the directors who made the allotment or call or the passing of the resolution nor any other matters whatever. Proof of the matters in (a) to (d) is conclusive evidence of the debt.

5.11 Prepayment of calls

Subject to the terms of issue of any shares, the directors may at any time receive from any member all or any part of the amount unpaid on a share although no part of that amount has been called up. The directors may at any time pay interest upon the whole or any part of the moneys so paid in advance until the amount becomes payable at such a rate as the member paying such sum and the directors agree upon. Any amount being paid in advance of calls is not included or taken into account in ascertaining the amount of dividend payable upon the shares in respect of which such advance has been made. The directors may at any time repay the amount so advanced upon giving to such member one month's notice in writing.

6. TRANSFER OF SHARES

6.1 Securities clearing house authorisation

The directors may do anything permitted by the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules which the directors consider necessary or desirable in connection with the participation of the Company in any computerised or electronic system established or recognised by the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules for the purposes of facilitating dealings in shares including, without limitation, electronic registration of transfers of shares.

6.2 Market transfer

Subject to this Constitution, a member may transfer all or any of the member’s shares by a market transfer in accordance with any computerised or electronic system established or recognised by the Listing Rules or the Corporations Act for the purpose of facilitating transfers in shares, including a transfer that takes effect pursuant to the ASX Settlement Operating Rules or some other computerised or electronic transfer process. The Company must comply with any obligations which are imposed on it by the Listing Rules or the ASX Settlement Operating Rules in connection with that transfer of shares.

6.3 Non-interference with market transfers

Despite any other provision of this Constitution, the directors may not prevent, delay or interfere with, the registration of a market transfer where to do so would be contrary to any provision of the Listing Rules or the ASX Settlement Operating Rules.

6.4 Instrument of transfer

If not done by a market transfer then, subject to this Constitution, a member may transfer all or any of the member's shares by instrument in writing which is:

  • (a) a sufficient instrument of transfer of securities under the Corporations Act;

  • (b) in a form approved by the Exchange;

13312654.1

14

  • (c) in any other usual or common form; or

  • (d) in any other form approved by the directors.

6.5 Proper instrument

If a member seeks to transfer all or any of the member’s shares in accordance with the preceding Clause, the Company may only register a transfer of shares where an instrument satisfying the preceding Clause is delivered to the Company (including, for this purpose, a person authorised by the Company to receive instruments, such as a share registrar of the Company) and the instrument:

  • (a) is duly stamped, if necessary;

  • (b) is executed by the transferor and (unless the directors otherwise determine in a particular case, relating only to fully paid shares) the transferee, except where execution by either transferor or transferee is not required by law or is deemed by law to be present;

  • (c) except where otherwise permitted by law, is accompanied by the certificate for the shares the subject of the transfer where a certificate has been issued, unless the directors waive production of the certificate on receiving satisfactory evidence of the loss or destruction of the certificate;

  • (d) is accompanied by such other evidence as the directors may require to prove the title of the transferor or the transferor's right to transfer the shares; and

  • (d) relates only to shares of one class.

6.6 Free registration

Except as provided in:

  • (a) Clause 6.7 (restrictions on transfer);

  • (b) Clause 32 (restricted securities); or

  • (d) the terms of issue of the shares concerned,

the directors must register each transfer of shares which complies with the 2 preceding Clauses, and do so without charging a fee.

6.7 Restrictions on transfer

The directors:

  • (a) may decline to register a transfer of shares where to do so would not contravene the Listing Rules; and

  • (b) must decline to register a transfer of shares when required by law, by the Listing Rules or by the ASX Settlement Operating Rules.

13312654.1

15

6.8 Transferor remains member

The transferor of a share remains the holder of that share until the transfer is registered and the name of the transferee is entered in the register in respect of that share.

6.9 Retention of instruments

If an instrument of transfer or a purported instrument of transfer is delivered to the Company, property to and title in that instrument (but not the shares the subject of it) passes to the Company which is entitled, as against all persons, to the possession of the instrument.

6.10 Notification of refusal to register

If the directors refuse to register a transfer of shares they must give written notice of the refusal to the transferee and the reasons for the refusal:

  • (a) if the Company is listed, within 5 business days after the date on which the transfer was lodged with the Company;

  • (b) otherwise, within 2 months after the date on which the transfer was lodged with the Company.

6.11 Powers of attorney

All powers of attorney granted by members for the purpose, amongst other things, of transferring shares which may be lodged, produced or exhibited to the Company are, as between the Company and the grantor of such powers, treated as remaining in full force and effect and they may be acted upon until such time as express notice in writing of the revocation of them or of death of the grantor has been lodged at the registered office.

6.12 Unmarketable parcels

If the Company is listed and a member holds an Unmarketable Parcel, the provisions of Schedule One apply to that Unmarketable Parcel.

7. TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

7.1 Entitlement to shares on death

If a member dies:

  • (a) the survivor or survivors where the deceased was a joint holder; and

  • (b) the legal personal representative where the deceased was a sole holder is,

upon producing satisfactory proof of death, the only person recognised by the Company as having any title to the deceased's interest in the share. Nothing in this Constitution releases the estate of a deceased joint holder from any liability in respect of any share which has been jointly held by the deceased.

13312654.1

16

7.2 Registration of persons entitled

If a person becomes entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a member or to a share of a mentally incapable member then:

  • (a) that person may, upon such information being produced as is properly required by the directors, and subject to paragraphs (b) and (c), elect either to be registered as the holder of the share or to have some other person (nominated by the person becoming entitled) registered as the transferee of the share;

  • (b) if the person so becoming entitled elects to be registered, that person must deliver or send to the Company a notice in writing signed by that person stating that election;

  • (c) if the person so becoming entitled elects to have another person registered, the person becoming entitled must execute a transfer of the share to that other person; and

  • (d) all the provisions of this Constitution relating to the right to transfer and the registration of transfers apply to any such notice or transfer as if the notice or transfer were a transfer executed by that member.

7.3 Dividends and other rights

A person entitled to be registered as a member in respect of a share by virtue of the 2 preceding Clauses is, upon the production of such evidence as may at any time be properly required by the directors, entitled to the same dividends and other advantages, and to the same rights (whether in relation to meetings of the Company, or to voting, or otherwise), as the registered holder would have been. If 2 or more persons are jointly entitled to any share in consequence of the death of the registered holder they are, for the purposes of this Constitution, treated as joint holders of the share.

8. FORFEITURE AND SURRENDER OF SHARES

8.1 Payment required

If any member fails to pay the whole or any part of any call or instalment on or before the day appointed for payment of the call or instalment, the directors may, at any time while the same remains unpaid, serve a notice on the member requiring the member to pay the same together with any interest that may have accrued thereon and interest up to the date of payment and any expense that may have been incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment.

8.2 Forfeiture notice

The notice must:

  • (a) name a future date (not earlier than the expiry of 14 days from the date of service of the notice) on or before which the payment required by the notice is to be made;

13312654.1

17

  • (b) identify the place where payment is to be made; and

  • (c) state that if payment is not made by the due date and at the place appointed, the shares in respect of which such payment is due are liable to be forfeited.

8.3 Forfeiture

If the requirements of any such notice are not complied with, any share in respect of which such notice has been given may at any time thereafter, if payment required by the notice has still not been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the directors to that effect. Such forfeiture includes all dividends declared in respect of the forfeited shares and not actually paid before the forfeiture. The right to forfeit the shares does not affect the right of the Company to sue for any allotment moneys, calls, instalments, interest and expenses due in respect of such shares.

8.4

Cancellation of forfeiture

Subject to the Listing Rules, the directors may, at any time before the forfeited shares have been sold or otherwise disposed of, annul the forfeiture of them upon such conditions as they think fit.

8.5

Directors may sell

A forfeited share becomes the property of the Company. Subject to the Listing Rules, any forfeited share may be sold or otherwise disposed of upon such terms and in such manner as the directors think fit.

8.6

Effect of forfeiture

A person whose shares have been forfeited ceases to be a member in respect of the forfeited shares. However, that person remains liable to pay and must immediately pay to the Company all money payable by such person in respect of such shares at the time of forfeiture, together with interest thereon from the time of forfeiture, until payment at such rate as the directors may determine. The Company may enforce the payment of such money but is not under any obligation to do so.

8.7 Evidence of forfeiture

A statement in writing by a director or the secretary of the Company that a share in the Company has been duly forfeited on the date stated in the statement is conclusive evidence of the facts so stated as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the share.

8.8 Transfer of forfeited shares

The Company may receive the consideration, if any, given for a forfeited share on any sale or disposition of the share and may appoint some person to execute a transfer of the share in favour of the person to whom the share is sold or disposed of. The transferee must then be registered as the holder of the share and is not bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any. The transferee's title

13312654.1

18

to the share is not affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, sale or disposal of the share.

8.9

Surrender as forfeiture

The directors may accept the surrender of any fully paid share by way of compromise of any question as to the holder being properly registered in respect of it. Any share so surrendered may be disposed of in the same manner as a forfeited share.

8.10 Fixed amounts taken to be calls

The provisions of this Constitution as to forfeiture apply in the case of nonpayment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a share, becomes payable at a fixed time as if that sum had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

  • (a) the terms of an instrument appointing a proxy, attorney or corporate representative provide that such appointment is valid only for a meeting of members held on or before a specified date; and

  • (b) the date for holding the meeting is postponed to a date later than the date specified in the instrument

11. PROCEEDINGS AT MEETINGS OF MEMBERS

11.1 Quorum

No business may be transacted at any meeting of members unless a quorum of members is present at the time when the meeting proceeds to business.

The quorum for a meeting of members is:

  • (a) at least 2 members present at all times during the meeting holding at least 10% of the votes that may be cast at the meeting; or

  • (b) if the Company only has one member who may vote on a resolution, that member.

11.3 Failure of quorum

If a quorum is not present within 15 minutes from the time appointed for a meeting of members the meeting is adjourned to the same day in the following week at the same time and place unless:

  • (a) the meeting was called by, or in response to, the requisition of members made under the Corporations Act, in which case the meeting is dissolved; or

  • (b) the directors determine otherwise by giving written notice to the members of the day, time and place to which the meeting has been adjourned.

11.6 Chair of meeting

The chair of the directors, or in that individual's absence the deputy chair of the directors (if any), is entitled to take the chair at each meeting of members. If neither of those individuals is present at any meeting of members within 15

13312654.1

26

minutes after the time appointed for holding such meeting, or neither of them is willing to take the chair, the directors present may choose one of their number as a chair and if no director present is willing to take the chair the directors may choose an individual, whether a member or not, as chair of the meeting, failing which the members present must elect an individual, whether a member or not, to be chair of the meeting.

11.7 Passing the chair

If the chair of a meeting of members is unwilling or unable to be the chair for any part of the business of the meeting:

  • (a) that chair may withdraw as chair for that part of the business and may nominate any individual who would be entitled under the preceding Clause to chair the meeting for that part of the business; and

  • (b) after that part of the business is completed, the individual so nominated must cease to chair the meeting upon the request of the prior chair and the prior chair is entitled to resume as the chair of the meeting.

11.8 Responsibilities of chair

The chair of a meeting of members is responsible for the general conduct of the meeting and to ascertain the sense of the meeting in relation to the business transacted at it. For these purposes the chair of the meeting may, without limitation:

  • (a) delay the commencement of the meeting if that individual determines it is desirable for the better conduct of the meeting;

  • (b) move any motion even though the chair is not a shareholder;

  • (c) make, vary or rescind rulings;

  • (d) prescribe, vary or revoke procedures;

  • (e) in addition to other powers to adjourn, adjourn the meeting, or any item of business of the meeting, without the concurrence of the meeting if that individual determines it is desirable for the orderly conduct of the meeting or the conduct of a poll; and

  • (f) determine conclusively any dispute concerning the admission, validity or rejection of a vote.

11.9 Admission to meetings

The chair of a meeting of members may refuse any individual admission to, or require any individual to leave and remain out of, the meeting where that individual:

  • (a) fails to comply with searches, restrictions or other security arrangements the chair considers appropriate; or

13312654.1

27

  • (b) is in possession of a pictorial-recording device, sound-recording device or broadcasting device; or

11.11 Business at adjourned meeting

No business may be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business left unfinished at the meeting from which the adjournment took place. No notice need be given of an adjournment, or of the business to be transacted at an adjourned meeting, unless it is adjourned for 30 days or more, in which event notice of the adjourned meeting must be given.

12. VOTING AT MEETINGS OF MEMBERS

12.1 Entitlement to vote

Subject to this Constitution and the terms of issue of any shares, each individual who is present at a meeting of members may vote if he or she is a member or a recognised proxy, attorney or corporate representative of a member.

12.2 Number of votes

Each individual who is, under the preceding Clause, entitled to vote has:

  • (a) on a show of hands only one vote, regardless of how many members the individual may represent; and

13312654.1

28

(b) on a poll:

  • (i) in respect of a fully paid share - one vote for each share held by the individual or held by members for whom the individual is the recognised proxy, attorney or corporate representative; and

  • (ii) in respect of a partly paid share – a fraction of a vote for each share held by the individual or held by members for whom the individual is the recognised proxy, attorney or corporate representative equivalent to the proportion which the amount paid (not credited) is of the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited), ignoring amounts paid in advance of a call.

12.3 Voting restrictions

If the Company is listed and either:

  • (a) in accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules; or

  • (b) to ensure that a resolution on which the Corporations Act requires that particular persons do not cast a vote so that the resolution has a specified effect under the Corporations Act,

the notice of a meeting of members specifies that, in relation to particular business to be considered at that meeting, votes cast by particular persons (whether specified by name or by description of particular classes of persons) are to be disregarded by the Company, the Company must take no account, in determining the votes cast on a resolution relating to that business (whether a special resolution or an ordinary resolution) or for any other purpose, of any vote cast or purported to be cast by or on behalf of any of those persons (whether on a show of hands or on a poll) in relation to that resolution. However, a person who is not entitled to vote on a resolution as a member, may vote as a recognised proxy for another member who can vote if the proxy form specifies the way the recognised proxy is to vote on the resolution and the recognised proxy votes that way.

12.4 Calls unpaid

A person is not entitled to vote in respect of particular shares at a meeting of members unless all calls and other sums presently payable by the member in respect of those shares have been paid.

12.5

Attendance of member suspends the proxy

If a member is present at any meeting of members in person (or in the case of a body corporate, by its corporate representative) the proxy or attorney of that member may not exercise the voting rights of the member while the member is present.

12.6 Revocation of proxies

A vote given or act done in accordance with the terms of a proxy form or power of attorney is valid despite the previous death of the principal, or revocation of the proxy or power of attorney, or transfer of the share in respect of which the vote is

13312654.1

29

given, or act done, provided no intimation in writing of the death, revocation or transfer has been received at the registered office or by the chair of the meeting before the vote is given or act done. Any proxy may be revoked at any time. A later appointment revokes an earlier one if both appointments could not be validly exercised at the meeting. The decision of the chair as to whether a proxy has been revoked is final and conclusive.

12.7 Proxy must vote on a poll as directed

A proxy form may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution. If it does:

  • (a) the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way; and

  • (b) if the proxy is the chair, the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way; and

  • (c) if the proxy is not the chair, the proxy need not vote on a poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way.

Nothing in this Clause affects the way that the individual who is a proxy can cast any votes they hold as a member.

12.8 Proxy must abstain if directed

A proxy form may specify that the proxy is to abstain from voting on a particular resolution. If it does the proxy must not vote on that resolution.

12.9 Method of voting

The chair of the meeting may determine that any question to be submitted to a meeting of members be determined by a poll without first submitting the question to the meeting to be decided by a show of hands. Unless the chair of the meeting makes such a determination, each question put to a vote at a meeting of members (except where there is an election of directors by ballot) must be determined by a show of hands (as determined by the chair of the meeting) unless a poll is properly demanded.

12.10 Who may demand a poll

At a meeting of members a demand for a poll may be made by:

  • (a) the chair of the meeting; or

  • (b) at least 5 individuals present having the right to vote at on the resolution; or

  • (c) any one or more individuals present having the right to vote at least 5% of the votes that may be cast on the resolution on a poll.

12.11 When poll may be demanded

The poll may be demanded:

13312654.1

30

  • (a) before a vote is taken; or

  • (b) before the voting results on a show of hands are declared; or

  • (c) immediately after the voting results on a show of hands are declared.

12.12 Declaring result of vote on show of hands

At any meeting of members (unless a poll is so demanded) a declaration by the chair of the meeting that a resolution has been carried, or carried by a particular majority, or lost, or has not been carried by a particular majority and an entry in the book containing the minutes of proceedings of the Company is conclusive evidence of the fact without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of or against such resolution.

12.13

Conduct of poll

The demand for a poll may be withdrawn. If a poll is duly demanded (and the demand not withdrawn) it must be taken in such manner and at such time (either at once or after an interval or adjournment or otherwise) as the chair of the meeting directs. The result of the poll is the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded. A poll demanded on any question of adjournment must be taken at the meeting and without an adjournment. The demand for a poll does not prevent the continuance of the meeting for the transaction of any business other than the question on which a poll has been demanded.

12.14 No casting vote for chair

If, on a show of hands or on a poll, the votes are equal:

  • (a) the chair of the meeting does not have a casting vote in addition to the vote, if any, of the chair as a member; and

  • (b) the motion is defeated.

12.15 Joint holders’ vote

In the case of joint holders, any one of them may vote. If on a particular occasion more than one of the joint holders votes, only the first to vote is counted. If it is not practical to determine which was first, the earliest named in the register to exercise such right (to the exclusion of those named later) prevails. Any such determination (by the chair or returning officer as the case may be) is final and conclusive. Several executors or administrators of a deceased member are, for the purposes of this Clause treated as joint holders of the share.

12.16 Objections

No objection may be made to the validity of any vote except at the meeting or adjourned meeting or poll at which such vote is tendered and every vote not disallowed at any such meeting or poll is treated as valid.

13312654.1

12.17 Ruling on votes

The chair of the meeting is the sole judge of the validity of every vote tendered at the meeting and the determination of the chair is final and conclusive.

13. APPOINTMENT AND REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS

13.1 Number of directors

The number of directors must be not less than 3 nor more than 12.

13.2 No share qualification

There is no share qualification for directors.

13.3 Initial directors

The directors holding office at the date of adoption of this Clause continue in office subject to this Constitution, with their retirement determined under Clause 13.5 and Clause 13.6 , as the case may be.

13.4 Casual appointment

The directors may at any time appoint any individual as a director, either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the directors. Until that individual is re-elected at a meeting of members, that director is a “ casual appointee ”.

13.5 Retirement of casual appointee

A casual appointee holds office only until the conclusion of the AGM following his or her appointment by the directors and is then eligible for re-election. A casual appointee is not taken into account in determining the number of directors, if any, who are to retire by rotation at such AGM.

13.6 Retirement by rotation

At the conclusion of every AGM, one-third of the eligible directors (as determined by the next 2 Clauses) must retire from office. No director (except the continuing managing director) may retain office for more than 3 years (or until the conclusion of the third AGM following his or her last election, whichever is the longer) without submitting himself or herself for re-election even though such submission results in more than one-third retiring from office.

13.7 Those who retire

For the purposes of the preceding Clause:

  • (a) the “ eligible directors ” are all directors for the time being, but excluding:

  • (i) all alternate directors;

  • (ii) the continuing managing director;

13312654.1

32

  • (iii) all casual appointees;

  • (iv) any director who, by reason of his or her age, must seek reappointment at the AGM under section 201C of the Corporations Act;

  • (b) if the number of eligible directors is not a multiple of 3, then the whole number nearest to but not exceeding one-third must retire;

  • (c) if as a result of rounding down pursuant to paragraph (b), there would be no director due to retire from office at the conclusion of an AGM and no casual appointee is due to so retire, then one director must retire by rotation at the conclusion of that AGM and is eligible for re-election.

13.8

Selection of rotating directors

In every year the director or directors to retire are the one-third or other nearest whole number who have been longest in office since their last election. As between 2 or more directors who have been in office an equal length of time, the director or directors to retire must, in default of agreement between them, be decided by the secretary by lot. Such agreement or decision, when confirmed in writing by the secretary to the directors concerned, may not be varied or revoked unless all the directors concerned agree. A retiring director is eligible for re-election.

13.9

Appointment at AGM

Unless the directors decide to reduce the number of directors in office (such reduction to be effective from the conclusion of the next AGM), the Company at any AGM at which any director retires may fill the vacated office by either reelecting the same individual or electing some other individual.

13.10 Deemed re-appointment

If at any AGM the vacated office is not filled, the retiring director, if willing and not disqualified, is treated as having been re-elected unless an ordinary resolution for the re-election of that director is put and lost.

13.11

Candidates requiring nomination

No individual, except, first, a director retiring by rotation, second, a casual appointee or, third, an individual recommended by the directors for election, is eligible for election to the office of director at any meeting of members (whether an AGM or otherwise) unless duly nominated.

13.12 Valid nominations

Nominations must be made to the secretary at the registered office. Nominations close at 5.00 p.m. (Sydney time) on the day which is 35 business days before the date for the holding of the meeting of members. For a nomination to be valid:

  • (a) the nomination must name the candidate and be signed by not less than 5 members; and

13312654.1

33

  • (b) the individual nominated must consent to act if elected. The consent is sufficient if the individual signs a form of consent on the nomination paper but the secretary may accept any other form of consent, whether accompanying the nomination paper or not, that the secretary deems satisfactory, and such acceptance is final; and

  • (c) the nomination and consent must be received before the close of nominations.

13.13 Resignation of director

Any director may retire from office by giving notice in writing to the Company of the director's intention to do so. Such resignation takes effect immediately unless the resignation is stated in the notice to take effect at some future time in which event the resignation takes effect upon the expiration of such time or the date 3 months from the giving of the notice, whichever is the earlier. A written resignation which has not yet taken effect may be withdrawn by the director, by written notice to the Company, at any time prior to the resignation taking effect.

13.14 Vacation of office

In addition to the circumstances in which the office of director becomes vacant by virtue of the Corporations Act or other provisions of this Constitution, the office of director, by the very fact, is vacated if the director:

  • (a) becomes an insolvent under administration; or

  • (b) cannot manage the Company because of their mental incapacity and is an individual whose estate or property has had a personal representative or trustee appointed to administer it; or

  • (c) is absent from meetings of directors for a continuous period of 6 months without leave of absence from the directors; or

  • (d) fails to pay any call due on any shares held by that director for the space of one month, or such further time as the directors allow, after the time when the call has been made; or

  • (e) is removed from office by an ordinary resolution.

13.15 Less than minimum number of directors

The continuing directors may act despite any vacancy in their body but if the number falls below the minimum number fixed in accordance with this Constitution, the directors may act only:

  • (a) to appoint directors up to that minimum number; or

  • (b) to call a meeting of members; or

  • (c) in emergencies.

13312654.1

34

14. ALTERNATE DIRECTORS

14.1 Power to appoint alternate director

Each director may at any time appoint any individual approved for that purpose by a majority of his or her co-directors to act as an alternate director in the appointor's place.

14.2 Suspension of appointment

The appointor may vary, suspend, or terminate the appointment of any alternate.

14.3 Notice of appointment

Notice of each such appointment, suspension or termination must be made in writing to the alternate, signed by the appointor, and a copy served on the Company.

14.4 Electronic notifications

Any notice under the preceding Clause or the next Clause may be served by electronic transmission and any such transmission purporting to be signed by a director is treated as being in writing signed by such director.

14.5 Role of alternate

An alternate director, in that capacity:

  • (a) is not entitled to receive notice of meetings of the directors, unless the appointor has, by notice in writing to the Company, required it do so either generally or in particular circumstances;

  • (b) may attend and vote at a meeting of the directors if the appointor is not present at that meeting;

  • (c) is entitled to sign a circular resolution under Clause 17.10 , unless the appointor has, by notice in writing to the Company, suspended that right either generally or in particular circumstances;

  • (d) when acting in the appointor’s place at any time, is an officer of the Company and not an agent of the appointor and, in those circumstances, is subject to the duties and has all the powers and rights of a director (subject to this Clause);

  • (e) does not have a conflict of interest solely by reason of the fact that the appointor has (or vice versa); and

  • (f) is not taken into account in determining either the number of directors or the rotation of directors.

13312654.1

35

14.6 Remuneration of alternate

An alternate's only rights (if any) as to remuneration for ordinary service as a director are against the appointor and not the Company.

14.7 Multiple votes

A director or any other individual may act as alternate director to represent more than one director, and have as many votes accordingly, but for the purpose of forming a quorum counts as only one director.

14.8 Termination of appointment

The appointment of an alternate director, by the very fact, is terminated:

  • (a) if, by writing under the hand of the alternate, left at the registered office, the alternate resigns such appointment; or

  • (b) if the appointment of the alternate is terminated by the appointor; or

  • (c) if a majority of the co-directors of the appointor withdraw the approval of the individual to act as an alternate; or

  • (d) if the appointor vacates office as a director; or

  • (e) if the appointment is to act as alternate for one or more directors and all of those named directors have vacated office as directors; or

  • (f) on the happening of any event which, if the alternate were a director, would cause the alternate to vacate the office of director.

15. MANAGING DIRECTOR

15.1 Appointment of managing directors

The directors may at any time:

  • (a) appoint one or more of their body to be managing director (or managing directors) or to some other executive office of the Company;

  • (b) define, limit and restrict that individual's powers;

  • (c) fix that individual's remuneration and duties;

  • (d) vary any of the powers so conferred; and

  • (e) remove that individual from that office (but not as a director) and appoint another (or others) in that individual's place or places.

15.2 Continuing managing directors

If the directors appoint more than one managing director, then the directors must nominate one of the managing directors as “the continuing managing director”. The directors may terminate or change the nomination of the continuing managing

13312654.1

36

director at any time. If there is one managing director, then he or she is regarded as the continuing managing director.

15.3 Application of other clauses to managing director

A continuing managing director is not, while that individual continues to hold that office, subject to retirement by rotation and that individual is not taken into account in determining the rotation of retirement of directors. A managing director, subject to the provisions of any contract between that individual and the Company and subject to this Constitution, is subject to the same provisions as to resignation, disqualification and removal as the other directors and if that individual ceases to hold the office of director from any cause that individual, by the very fact, immediately ceases to be a managing director.

15.4 Acting managing director

If a managing director becomes at any time in any way incapable of acting as such, the directors may appoint any other director to act temporarily as managing director.

15.5 Remuneration of executive directors

Subject to the provisions of any agreement entered into in a particular case, the remuneration of a managing director or other director appointed to an executive office, may at any time be fixed by the directors . Such remuneration may be by way of fixed salary, participation in profits of the Company or of any other company in which the Company is interested, or by any or all of those modes but, while the Company is listed, must not be by way of commission on, or percentage of, the operating revenue of the Company.

16. REMUNERATION OF DIRECTORS

16.1 Group directors’ fees

A meeting of members may at any time, by ordinary resolution, approve a fixed sum that may be paid in each financial year of the Company as group directors’ fees.

16.2 Proposal to increase fees for ordinary services

If there is a proposal to increase group directors’ fees, the notice calling the meeting of members at which such increase is to be proposed must state the amount of the proposed increase and the maximum sum that may be paid if the increase is approved.

16.3 Fees for ordinary services of directors of the Company

In each financial year of the Company the directors must be paid out of the funds of the Company as remuneration, for their ordinary services as directors of the Company, such sum as the directors determine, but it must not exceed that last fixed under Clause 16.1 . The sum so determined must be divided among the directors in such proportion and manner as they may at any time determine or, in default of determination, equally.

13312654.1

37

16.4 Fees for ordinary services of directors of other group companies

The Company, through its control of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, must ensure that, after taking into account the sum determined under the preceding Clause, the group directors’ fees paid in each financial year do not exceed that last fixed under Clause 16.1 .

16.5 Expenses of directors

Each director is entitled to be paid all travelling and other expenses incurred, or to be incurred, by him or her in connection with his or her attendance at board meetings and meetings of members or otherwise in connection with the business of the Company.

Any director who, being willing, is called upon to perform extra services or to make any special exertions or to undertake any executive or other work for the Company beyond the director’s ordinary duties or to go or reside abroad or otherwise for any of the purposes of the Company is entitled to be remunerated either by a fixed sum or a salary as may be determined by the directors. Such remuneration may be either in addition to , or in substitution for , that director’s share in the remuneration referred to in Clause 16.3 .

16.7 Daily accrual

The remuneration of each director for ordinary services accrues from day to day and is apportionable accordingly. A resolution of directors cancelling, suspending, reducing or postponing payment of such remuneration or any part of it binds all the directors for the time being.

16.8 Payment of retirement benefit

Upon a director ceasing, or at any time after his or her ceasing whether by retirement or otherwise, to hold that office, the directors may pay to the former director, or in the case of death to the former director's legal personal representatives, or to the director's dependants or any of them, a lump sum payment in respect of past services of such director (either in that capacity or as an officer of a related body corporate of the Company) of an amount not exceeding the amount permitted by the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules. The Company may contract with any director to secure payment of any such sum to him or her, to the director's legal personal representatives, dependants or any of them.

16.9 Contributions to a superannuation fund

The Company may at any time make contributions to a superannuation or similar fund for the benefit of any director. Any such contribution is in addition to, and not regarded as part of, the remuneration approved by members under this Constitution.

38

17. PROCEEDINGS OF DIRECTORS

  • (c) the accidental omission to give notice of any meeting of the directors to, or the non-receipt of any such notice by, an individual entitled to receive that notice does not invalidate the calling of the meeting or any resolution passed at any such meeting.

13312654.1

39

17.7 Appointment of chair

The directors may elect one of their number to be chair of their meetings and may determine the period for which that individual is to hold that office. Such individual is entitled to use the title “Chairman”, “Chairperson” or “Chair”.

If there is an equality of votes, provided more than 2 directors present are competent to vote on the question at issue but not otherwise, the chair may exercise a second or casting vote.

17.10

Circular resolution of directors

If a majority in number of the eligible directors have signed a document containing a statement that they are in favour of a resolution of the directors in terms set out in the document, a resolution in those terms is treated as having been passed at a meeting of the directors held on the day on which the document was signed or, if the directors sign the documents on different days, on the day on which the document was last signed by a director thereby constituting a majority in number of the eligible directors unless the document, by its terms, is said to take effect from an earlier date.

17.11 Signing of circular resolution

For the purposes of the preceding Clause:

  • (a) the “ eligible directors ” are all directors for the time being but excluding, first, all alternate directors, second, those who, at a meeting of directors, would not be entitled to vote on the resolution and, third, those then outside Australia;

  • (b) each director, other than one not entitled to vote on the resolution, may sign the document;

13312654.1

40

  • (d) unless the right has been suspended by the appointor under Clause 14.5 , each alternate director may sign the document in the appointor’s place if the alternate director reasonably believes that the appointor is unavailable to sign the document. An alternate may sign even if the available appointor could not have voted on the resolution. An alternate director who represents more than one director may sign as many times accordingly;

  • (e) if there is only one eligible director, he or she may sign the document and it then takes effect under the preceding Clause;

  • (f) an electronic transmission purporting to be signed by a director or alternate director is treated as being in writing signed by such individual; and

17.12 Deemed minute

The document or documents referred to in the 2 preceding Clauses are treated as constituting a minute of that meeting and must be entered in books kept for that purpose.

17.13 Validity of acts of directors

All acts done at any meeting of the directors or of a committee of directors or other persons or by any individual acting as a director or any person purporting to act as an attorney under power of the Company are, despite the fact that later it is discovered that there was some defect in the appointment or continuance in office of such director, person or attorney so acting or that they or any of them were disqualified or were not entitled to vote, as valid as if every such person had been duly appointed or had duly continued in office and was qualified to be a director or attorney and was entitled to vote.

27.1 Directors declare dividends

27.3 No interest on dividends

A dividend does not bear interest against the Company.

27.4 Accumulation of reserves

The directors may before declaring any dividend set aside out of the profits of the Company such sums as they think proper as reserves which shall, at the discretion of the directors, be applicable for any purpose to which the profits of the Company may be properly applied and pending any such application may at the like discretion either be employed in the business of the Company or be invested in such investments as the directors may at any time think fit. The directors may also without placing the same to reserve carry forward any profits which they may think prudent not to appropriate.

27.5

Apportionment

Subject to the rights of persons, if any, entitled to shares with special rights as to dividend, all dividends must be declared and paid according to the amounts paid (not credited) on the shares in respect of which the dividend is paid. No amount paid on a share in advance of calls may be treated for the purpose of this Clause as paid on the share. All dividends must be apportioned and paid pro rata to the proportion of the total amount paid and payable (excluding amounts credited) on the shares during any portion or portions of the period in respect of which the dividend is paid. If any share is issued on terms providing that it ranks for dividend as from a particular date, that share ranks for dividend accordingly.

27.6 Deductions from dividends

The directors may deduct from any dividend payable to any member all sums of money (if any) presently payable by the member to the Company on account of calls or otherwise in relation to the shares of the Company.

27.7

Payment of dividend in specie

The directors, when declaring a dividend, may direct payment of such dividend wholly or partly by the distribution of specific assets. This may include paid up shares, debentures or debenture stock of any other body corporate or in any one or more of such ways. Where any difficulty arises in regard to such distribution the directors may settle the same as they think expedient and fix the value for

13312654.1

50

distribution of such specific assets or any part of those assets and may determine that cash payments be made to any members upon the footing of the value so fixed in order to adjust the rights of all parties and may vest any such specific assets in trustees as may seem expedient to the directors.

27.8 Dispatch and payment of dividends

A dividend due to a member may, if that member elects under a plan or arrangement offered at any time by the Company, be credited directly to a bank account. Any dividend, interest or other money payable in cash in respect of shares may be paid by cheque, sent through the post directed to the registered address of the holder or in the case of joint holders to the registered address of that one of the joint holders who is first named on the register or to such person and to such address as the holder or joint holders may in writing direct. Every such cheque must be made payable to the person to whom it is sent and may be made payable to bearer. Any one of 2 or more joint holders may give effectual receipts for any dividends or other money payable in respect of the shares held by them as joint holders.

27.9

Call satisfied by dividend

The directors, when declaring a dividend, may make a call on the members of such amount as they may fix but so that the call on each member must not exceed the dividend payable to the member and so that the call is made payable at the same time as the dividend and the dividend may, if so arranged between the Company and the member, be set off against the call.

27.10 Unclaimed dividend

All dividends declared but unclaimed may:

  • (a) in the case of dividends not to be distributed as money, be realised into money; and

  • (b) in any case, be invested for the benefit of the Company until claimed or until required to be dealt with under any applicable law dealing with unclaimed money.

27.12 Share plans

The directors may at any time adopt and implement any number of plans, on terms they determine, by which a member may elect to receive shares as, or instead of, dividends. Such plans may include:

  • (a) a plan under which a member who elects to participate in respect of a share held by the member is entitled to an issue of bonus shares instead of a dividend distributed as money in respect of that share; and

13312654.1

51

  • (b) a plan under which a dividend to be distributed as money to a member in respect of a share is, if the member elects that the share participate in the plan, retained by the Company and applied in subscription for fully paid shares pursuant to the terms of the plan.

27.13 Powers concerning share plans

The directors have all powers necessary or desirable to implement and carry out fully any plan adopted under the preceding Clause and may (without limitation) at any time:

  • (a) amend the terms of any plan as they consider desirable; and

  • (b) suspend for any period or terminate the operation of any plan as they consider desirable.

28. CAPITALISATION OF PROFITS

28.1 Capitalisation of profits or reserves

The directors may at any time resolve that it is desirable to capitalise any sum being the whole or a part of the amount for the time being standing to the credit of any reserve account or the profit and loss account or otherwise available for distribution to members and that such sum may be applied for the benefit of members in proportion to the number of shares (being shares which entitle the holder to participate in the type of distribution being made pursuant to this Clause) held by them in any of the ways mentioned in the following Clause.

28.2 Application

The ways in which a sum may be applied under the preceding Clause are:

  • (a) in paying up any amounts unpaid on the issue price of shares or any Attached Securities; or

  • (b) in paying up in full the issue price of unissued shares, debentures or any Attached Securities; or

  • (c) partly as mentioned in paragraph (a) and partly as mentioned in paragraph (b).

28.3 Settlement of difficulties

The directors may do all things necessary to give effect to the resolution and in particular to the extent necessary to adjust the rights of the members among themselves, may:

  • (a) issue fractional certificates or make cash payments in cases where shares or debentures become issuable in fractions;

  • (b) fix the value for distribution of any specific assets or any part of them;

13312654.1

52

  • (c) determine that cash payments be made to any members upon the footing of the value so fixed or that fractions of less value than 50 cents may be disregarded in order to adjust rights of all parties;

  • (d) vest any such cash or specific assets in trustees upon trusts for the persons entitled to the dividend or capitalised fund; and

  • (e) authorise any person to make, on behalf of the members entitled to any further shares or debentures upon the capitalisation, an agreement with the Company providing for the issue to them, credited as fully paid up, of any such further shares or debentures or for the payment up by the Company on their behalf of the amounts remaining unpaid of the issue price on their existing shares by the application of their respective proportions of the sum resolved to be capitalised;

and any agreement made under an authority referred to in paragraph (e) is effective and binding on all the members concerned.

Subject to the terms of issue of a share, if the Company is wound up and the assets available for distribution among the members (in that capacity) are insufficient to repay all the paid up capital, those assets must be distributed so that, to the greatest possible extent, the amount distributed to a member in respect of each share is proportional to the capital amount paid up (or which at the commencement of the winding up ought to have been paid up) on that share compared with the total paid up capital of the Company.

31.3 Distribution of surplus assets

Subject to the terms of issue of a share, if the Company is wound up and after distribution of assets to repay paid up capital there remain assets available for distribution to the members (in that capacity), those assets must be distributed so that, to the greatest possible extent, the amount distributed to a member in respect of each share is proportional to the capital amount paid up (or which at the commencement of the winding up ought to have been paid up) on that share compared with the total paid up capital of the Company.

31.4 Distribution in specie

If the Company is wound up and a special resolution is passed authorising that it be done, the liquidator may distribute to the members all or any part of the assets

13312654.1

  • (a) set the value of each asset to be distributed that the liquidator considers fair; and

  • (b) determine how the distribution is to be carried out (including by allocating the assets) as between the members of different classes of members,

but so that no member must accept any shares or other property in respect of which there is any liability.

  • (a) notwithstanding anything contained in this Constitution, if the Listing Rules prohibit an act being done, the act shall not be done;

  • (b) nothing contained in this Constitution prevents an act being done that the Listing Rules require to be done;

34. STAPLING PROVISIONS

34.1 Power to Staple Ordinary Shares

  • (a) The directors may, subject to this Clause 34 , the Corporations Act and, if Ordinary Shares are quoted on the Exchange, the Listing Rules, cause the Stapling of any Security to any Ordinary Share and may cause the Stapling of further Securities to the Stapled Securities whether those Securities are a different class of Securities of a Stapled Entity from those stapled at the time or Securities of an entity that is not a Stapled Entity.

  • (b) Any Stapling referred to in Clause 34.1(a) takes effect from the Stapling Date.

34.2 Stapling Resolution

Without limiting Clauses 34.3 to 34.5 , if the Stapling Resolution is passed by members by the requisite majorities set out in the EM and all conditions to that resolution are satisfied, Clauses 34.3 to 34.5 will take effect in respect of the Storage Fund Stapling Proposal.

34.3 Power to implement Stapling Proposal

Subject to the Corporations Act, and if the Ordinary Shares are Officially Quoted, the Listing Rules, the Company has power to do all things which it considers are necessary, desirable or reasonably incidental to effect a Stapling Proposal and such powers apply notwithstanding, and are not limited by, any provision of this Constitution.

34.4 Appointment of Company as agent and attorney

  • (a) The Company is irrevocably appointed as the agent and attorney of each member to execute all documents and do all things which it reasonably considers are necessary or desirable to be executed or done on behalf of the member, including, without limitation:

34.5 Paramountcy

  • (a) Subject only to the Corporations Act, and if the Ordinary Shares are Officially Quoted, the Listing Rules, this Clause 34 has effect notwithstanding any other provision of this Constitution and any provision of this Constitution which is inconsistent with this Clause 34 does not operate to the extent of any inconsistency.

  • (b) If there is an inconsistency between any provision of this constitution relating to Stapling (including this Clause 34 ) and any other provision, then the provision relating to Stapling prevails to the extent of the inconsistency, except where this would result in a breach of the Listing Rules, ASX Settlement Rules, the Corporations Act or any other law. The provision relating to Stapling prevails in this way, even if the other provisions are expressed to apply notwithstanding any other provisions in this constitution.

34.6 Operation of Stapling Provisions

Clauses 34.7 to 34.13 apply only, and for so long as, an Ordinary Share is a component of a Stapled Security.

34.7 Ordinary Shares to be Stapled

  • (a) Details of all Stapled Securities sufficient to identify the Securities which comprise the Stapled Security must be recorded in the Stapled Security Register.

  • (c) The number of issued Ordinary Shares must equal the number of Attached Securities at that time divided by the Corresponding Number.

  • (d) The Company must not issue Ordinary Shares unless satisfied that each of those Ordinary Shares will be Stapled to the Corresponding Number of each Attached Security to form a Stapled Security.

  • (e) The Company and the member must neither do any act, matter or thing nor refrain from doing any act, matter or thing if to do so or refrain from doing

Paragraphs (a) to (e) inclusive apply, with necessary modifications, to the issue, offer, sale or reorganisation of options.

34.8 Unstapling Date

  • (a) Subject to approval by a special resolution of the holders of Ordinary Shares and members of each Stapled Entity respectively, the Company may determine that Stapling provisions of this constitution will cease to apply and that a particular date is to be the Unstapling Date.

34.9 Transfers of Stapled Securities

  • (a) A transfer of an Ordinary Share forming part of a Stapled Security will only be accepted as a proper transfer in registrable form if, in addition to the requirement of Clause 5 the transfer relates to or is accompanied by a transfer of the Corresponding Number of each Attached Security from the same transferor in favour of the same transferee.

Each member to whom a First Notice or Second Notice has been given may, by notice in writing addressed to the secretary and delivered to the Company prior to the Relevant Shares being Divested, require the Company not to Divest the Relevant Shares, in which case the Relevant Shares may not be Divested unless a new First Notice is given to that member.

7. Jointly held shares

If a member who gives notice under Clause 6 of this Schedule is a joint holder of a parcel of Relevant Shares, that notice only prevents those Relevant Shares being Divested but does not prevent other Relevant Shares held by any of the joint holders of that parcel being Divested and any First Notice or Second Notice concerning those other Relevant Shares applies only to those other Relevant Shares.

8. Terms of sale

Any Relevant Shares to be Divested may be Divested on the terms and in the manner and at the time the directors determine (including by means of the Relevant Shares being bought back by the Company). For the purpose of the Relevant Shares being Divested:

  • (a) the member appoints the Company as its agent; and

  • (b) the member appoints the Company and each of the directors for the time being jointly and severally as its attorney in its name and on its behalf to execute any instrument of transfer or disposal of the Relevant Shares.

9. Costs of Sale

The Company must pay all costs and expenses in connection with the Divestiture of any Relevant Shares under this Schedule unless to do so would be to give financial assistance in a manner not permitted under the Corporations Act.

10. Validity of sale

The transferee of any Relevant Shares Divested under this Schedule is not required to see to the regularity of the Divestiture or the application of the purchase money. After the transferee's name has been entered in the register in respect of the Relevant Shares, the validity of the Divestiture to the transferee may not be impeached by any person and the remedy of any person aggrieved by the Divestiture is in damages only and against the Company exclusively.

11. Receipt of proceeds

Where the Company receives any consideration as a result of the Divestiture of any

13312654.1

63

Relevant Shares, the Company's receipt is a good discharge to the transferee of those Relevant Shares and any person claiming through that transferee.

12. Title of transferee

The title of the transferee to any Relevant Shares Divested under this Schedule is not affected by any irregularity or invalidity in connection with the Divestiture of the Relevant Shares to the transferee.

13.

Application of proceeds

The proceeds of Divestiture of Relevant Shares under this Schedule (following deduction of any unpaid calls and interest and expenses) ( “the Sale Consideration” ) must be dealt with as follows:

  • (a) the Sale Consideration must be paid into a separate bank account opened and maintained by the Company for that purpose only;

  • (b) the Sale Consideration must be held in trust for the member whose Relevant Shares were Divested;

  • (c) the Company must, immediately following the receipt of the Sale Consideration, notify the member in writing that the Sale Consideration in respect of the Relevant Shares has been received by the Company and is being held by the Company pending instructions from the member as to how it is to be dealt with;

  • (d) the Company must deal with the Sale Consideration as instructed by the member on whose behalf it is held, provided that the member accompanies that instruction with the certificate for the Relevant Shares (unless the Relevant Shares are uncertificated securities under the Listing Rules) or, if any such certificate has been lost or destroyed, by a statement and undertaking pursuant to section 1070D(5) of the Corporations Act;

  • (e) any interest earned on the Sale Consideration is for the benefit of the Company; and

  • (f) where the Sale Consideration has been held in trust for more than 2 years, the Company may deal with the money according to any applicable legislation concerning unclaimed moneys.

14. Evidence

Where a certificate in writing under the hand of any director or the secretary states that:

  • (a) any notice required to be served by or on the Company was or was not served, as the case may be;

  • (b) any advertisement required to be published was published; or

  • (c) any resolution of the directors required to be made was made,

13312654.1

64

that certificate is conclusive evidence of the facts stated in it as against all persons claiming to be entitled to any Relevant Shares affected by that certificate and of the right and title of the Company to Divest the same.

15. Cancellation of certificates

Except where the Relevant Shares are uncertificated securities, the Company must cancel the share certificates for all Relevant Shares Divested.

16.

Takeovers

The Company may not proceed with the Divestiture of any Relevant Shares where a takeover bid has been announced but the Divestiture of those Relevant Shares may be recommenced, without serving new notices or repeating any actions previously taken, after the end of the bid period in respect of the takeover bid.

  • (b) the directors may allot, grant options over, or otherwise dispose of, the shares to such persons, at such times, on such terms and conditions, and having attached to them such preferred, deferred or other rights, and at such issue price, for cash or non-cash consideration, with the issue price paid or unpaid, as the directors think fit.

2.2

Variation of rights

If at any time the issued shares are divided into different classes, the rights attached to any class of shares (unless the terms of issue of that class otherwise provide) may only be varied or cancelled with either:

  • (a) the sanction of a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of shares of that class; or

  • (b) the written consent of members with at least 75% of the votes in the class.

2.3

Class meetings

In relation to any such separate meeting of the holders of shares in a class, the provisions of this Constitution which relate to meetings of members apply, as far as

13312731.1

6

they are capable of application and changed as necessary, except that any member present holding shares of the class may demand a poll.

2.4 Further issues of shares in the same class

The rights attached to a class of shares are not to be considered as varied if further shares of that class are issued on identical terms, except if the terms of issue of that class of shares otherwise provide.

2.5

Reclassification of shares

Subject to this Constitution, the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Company may at any time by ordinary resolution convert and reclassify all or any of the issued shares of one class into shares of another class or classes.

2.6

Brokerage and commission

The Company may pay brokerage or commission to a person in respect of that person or another person agreeing to take up shares in the Company. Payments by way of brokerage or commission (in respect of the issue of any shares) may be satisfied by the payment of cash, by the allotment of fully or partly paid shares, or a combination of these.

2.7 Recognition of third party interests

Except as required by law or in this Constitution, the Company must not recognise any person as holding any share upon any trust. The Company is not bound by, or compelled in any way to recognise (even when having notice of it), any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any share or unit of a share or (except only as otherwise provided by this Constitution or by law) any other right in respect of any share except an absolute right of ownership of it in the registered holder.

2.8 Conversion of shares into larger or smaller number

The Company may by ordinary resolution convert all or any of its shares into a larger or smaller number of shares. Any amount unpaid on shares being converted is to be divided equally among the shares that replace those shares.

2.9

Adjustments

The directors may do all things necessary to give effect to any such resolution including where a member becomes entitled to a fraction of a share on consolidation any or all of:

  • (a) making provision for the issue of fractional certificates;

  • (b) making cash payments;

  • (c) determining that all or any fractions may be disregarded;

  • (d) appointing a trustee to deal with any fractions on behalf of members; and

  • (e) rounding each fractional entitlement to the nearest whole share.

13312731.1

7

and may discriminate in the treatment of fractional entitlements of members where the directors consider it to be fair and in the interests of members as a whole in all the circumstances.

2.10 Capital Reallocation

  • (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Constitution, the Company may at any time issue shares ( Capital Reallocation Shares ) in either of the following circumstances:

  • (i) to the holders of Stapled Securities if a Stapled Entity (or, where the Stapled Entity is a trust, the trustee of that Stapled Entity) makes an application for Capital Reallocation Shares as agent for the holders of Stapled Securities and applies a distribution paid out of that Stapled Entity towards the issue price for those Capital Reallocation Shares; or

  • (ii) to any Stapled Entity if the company is satisfied that immediately following the issue of such Capital Reallocation Shares, those Capital Reallocation Shares will be distributed pro rata to the holders of Stapled Securities,

so long as:

  • (iii) immediately following the issue of Capital Reallocation Shares referred to in paragraph (i) above or the in-specie distribution referred to in paragraph (ii) above, the company immediately consolidates the Capital Reallocation Shares with all other shares then on issue in the company such that the total number of shares on issue after the consolidation is equal to the total number of shares on issue immediately prior to the issue of the Capital Reallocation Shares; and

  • (iv) the members have by ordinary resolution approved the consolidation of shares referred to in paragraph (iii) above.

  • (b) The share resulting from the consolidation of a share ( Original Share ) with a Capital Reallocation Share pursuant to Clause 2.10(a) will be taken for all purposes to be stapled to the same Attached Securities as that to which the Original Share was stapled.

2.11 Application of capital reduction to capitalise Stapled Entity

The company may by ordinary resolution reduce its share capital by equal reduction and the members may by ordinary resolution authorise the company, as agent for and in the name of each member, to apply the amount of the reduction that the member is otherwise entitled to, as additional capital to a Stapled Entity pro rata in proportion to the number of securities held by the member in that Stapled Entity.

13312731.1

3. CERTIFICATES

3.1 Uncertificated mode

Despite any other provision of this Constitution:

  • (a) the Company need not issue a certificate, and may cancel any certificate without issuing a certificate in substitution, in respect of any marketable security of the Company in any circumstances where the non-issue of that certificate is permitted by law; and

  • (b) where paragraph (a) applies, any reference to a certificate in this Constitution is to be disregarded in relation to that marketable security.

3.2 Holding statements

Where the directors have determined not to issue a certificate or to cancel a certificate in respect of any marketable security of the Company, a member is entitled to receive a statement of the holdings of the member setting out the number of marketable securities and any other matter of which the Company is required to provide particulars under this Constitution, the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules or the ASX Settlement Operating Rules.

3.3 If certificates required

To the extent that certificates are required for marketable securities of the Company:

  • (a) the Company must issue certificates of title to marketable securities of the Company in accordance with the Corporations Act and, if the Company is listed, the Listing Rules;

  • (b) a member is entitled, without charge, to one certificate for the marketable securities of the Company of each class registered in the member's sole name or to several certificates each for a reasonable part of those marketable securities;

  • (c) if any marketable securities of the Company are held by 2 or more persons, the Company is only required to issue the same number of certificates as if those marketable securities were held by one person and delivery of a certificate so issued to any of those persons is sufficient delivery to all of them; and

  • (d) if a certificate is lost, destroyed, worn out or defaced, then upon production of the document (if available) to the directors, they may order it to be cancelled and may issue a new certificate in substitution subject to the conditions prescribed by the Corporations Act and, if the Company is listed, the Listing Rules.

13312731.1

4. LIEN

4.1 Lien for calls

The Company has a first and paramount lien for unpaid calls and instalments, and interest on such sums, and expenses incurred in relation to those items upon the specific shares registered in the name of each member (whether solely or jointly with others) in respect of which such money is due and unpaid. Such lien extends to all dividends at any time declared or distributed in respect of such shares. Unless otherwise agreed, the registration of a transfer of shares operates as a waiver of the Company's lien on any such shares.

4.2 Lien on payments required to be made by the Company

If any law for the time being of any place imposes or purports to impose any immediate, future or possible liability upon the Company to make any payment, or empowers any government or taxing authority or government official to require the Company to make any payment in respect of any shares registered in the register as held either jointly or solely by any member, or in respect of any dividends or other moneys due or payable or accruing due or which may become due or payable to such member by the Company on or in respect of any such shares, or for or on account of or in respect of any member and whether in consequence of:

  • (a) the death of such member;

  • (b) the liability for income tax or other tax by such member;

  • (c) the liability for any estate, probate, succession, death, stamp or other duty by the executor or administrator of such member or by or out of the member's estate; or

  • (d) any other act or thing;

in every such case the Company:

  • (i) must be fully indemnified by such member or the member's executor or administrator from all liability;

  • (ii) has a first and paramount lien upon all shares registered in the register as held either jointly or solely by such member and upon all dividends and other money payable in respect of such shares for any liability arising under or in consequence of any such law and for any amount paid in complete or partial satisfaction of such liability and for interest on any amount so paid at the rate per cent per annum set by the directors from the date of payment to the date of repayment and may deduct from or set off against any such dividend or other money so payable any moneys so paid or payable by the Company together with that interest;

  • (iii) may recover as a debt due from such member or the member's executor or administrator wherever constituted any money paid by the Company under or in consequence of any such law and interest

13312731.1

10

or such money at the rate and for that period in excess of any dividend or other such money then due or payable by the Company to such member;

  • (iv) if such shares are not CHESS approved securities under the ASX Settlement Operating Rules, may, if any such money is paid or payable by the Company under any such law, refuse to register a transfer of any such shares by any such member or the member's executor or administrator until such money with that interest is set off or deducted or in case the same exceeds the amount of any such dividend or other money then due or payable by the Company to such member until such excess is paid to the Company; or

  • (v) if such shares are CHESS approved securities under the ASX Settlement Operating Rules, and, if any such money is paid or payable by the Company under any such law, may if the Exchange has authorised the Company in writing to do so, request the securities clearing house to apply a holding lock to such shares.

4.3 Other remedies of the Company

Nothing in this Constitution prejudices or affects any right or remedy which any such law may confer or purport to confer on the Company and, as between the Company and every such member, the member's executor, administrator and estate, wherever constituted or situated, any right or remedy which such law confers or purports to confer on the Company is enforceable by the Company.

4.4 Sale under lien

The Company may sell, or cause to be sold, in such manner as the directors think fit any shares on which the Company has a lien and any Attached Securities if:

  • (a) a sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable;

  • (b) a notice in writing stating and demanding payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable has been given to the registered holder for the time being of the share or the person entitled to it by reason of death or bankruptcy; and

  • (c) that notice remains unsatisfied 14 days after it was given.

4.5

Transfer

To give effect to any such sale the directors may authorise some person to transfer the shares and Attached Securities sold to the purchaser of the shares. The purchaser must be registered as the holder of the shares and Attached Securities comprised in any such transfer and the purchaser is not bound to see to the application of the purchase money nor is the purchaser's title to the shares and Attached Securities affected by any irregularity or invalidity in connection with the sale.

13312731.1

11

4.6 Application of proceeds

The proceeds of the sale of the shares must be received by the Company and applied in payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable and the residue, if any, must (subject to a like lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the shares before the sale) be paid to the person entitled to the shares immediately prior to the time of the sale. If the Company or its nominee receives consideration for any Attached Security, it must account to each Stapled Entity for that portion of the consideration received in respect of that Attached Security, having regard to the fair value of the shares and each of the Attached Securities.

4.7 Effect of forfeiture

Any member whose shares have been forfeited is, despite that fact, liable to pay and must immediately pay to the Company and the relevant Stapled Entities all calls, instalments, interest and expenses owing upon or in respect of such shares and Attached Securities at the time of the forfeiture together with interest on such items from the time of forfeiture until payment at such rate as the directors may determine. The directors may enforce the payment of such money, or any part of it if they think fit, but they are not under any obligation to do so.

5. CALLS ON SHARES

5.1 Calls made by the directors

Subject to the terms of issue of any shares, the directors may at any time make such calls as they think fit upon the members in respect of any money unpaid on the shares held by them respectively. A call may be made payable by instalments. A call may be revoked, postponed or extended as the directors determine.

5.2 Time of call

A call is deemed to be made at the time when the resolution of the directors authorising such call was passed.

5.3 Payment of call

Upon receiving at least 14 days’ notice specifying the time and place of payment, each member must pay to the Company, by the time and at the place so specified, the amount called on the member’s shares. The non-receipt of a notice of a call by, or the accidental omission to give notice of a call to, any of the members does not invalidate the call.

5.4 Fixed payments

If by the terms of issue of any shares or otherwise any amount is made payable at any fixed time or by instalments at fixed times, every such amount or instalment is payable as if it were a call duly made by the directors and of which due notice had been given. In case of non-payment, the provisions of this Constitution as to payment of interest, expenses, and forfeiture or otherwise apply as if such sum had become payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

13312731.1

12

5.5 Stapled Securities

A partly paid Ordinary Share which forms part of a Stapled Security will not be credited or treated as fully paid until:

  • (a) the Company has received all unpaid money in relation to that Ordinary Share; and

  • (b) the Stapled Entities have received all unpaid money in relation to the Attached Securities to which it is Stapled.

5.6 Interest on unpaid call

If a sum called is not paid on or before the date for payment of it the person from whom the sum is due must pay interest on the sum (or on so much as remains unpaid from time to time) at such rate as the directors may determine calculated from the day appointed for the payment of it until the time of actual payment. The directors may waive such interest in whole or in part.

5.7 Joint holders’ liability

The joint holders of a share are jointly and severally liable to pay all amounts of instalments and calls in respect of the share.

5.8 Differences in terms of issue

The directors may, on the issue of shares, differentiate between the holders as to the amount of calls to be paid and times of payment.

5.9 Recovery action

If a call is not paid the Company may proceed to recover it with interest and expenses (if any) by action, suit or otherwise. The right of action, suit or otherwise is without prejudice to the right to forfeit the share of any member so in arrears and either or both of such rights may be exercised by the directors.

5.10 Proof of call

On the trial of any action for the recovery of any call or of any interest or expenses upon or in respect of any call it is sufficient to prove that:

  • (a) the name of the member sued is entered in the register as the holder, or one of the holders, of the shares in respect of which such debt accrued;

  • (b) the resolution making the call is duly recorded in the minute book;

  • (c) notice of such call was duly given to the registered holder of the shares or, in the case of calls or instalments payable at fixed times, by the terms of issue of any share or otherwise to prove such terms; and

  • (d) such sum or call has not been paid.

13312731.1

13

It is not necessary to prove the appointment of the directors who made the allotment or call or the passing of the resolution nor any other matters whatever. Proof of the matters in (a) to (d) is conclusive evidence of the debt.

5.11 Prepayment of calls

Subject to the terms of issue of any shares, the directors may at any time receive from any member all or any part of the amount unpaid on a share although no part of that amount has been called up. The directors may at any time pay interest upon the whole or any part of the moneys so paid in advance until the amount becomes payable at such a rate as the member paying such sum and the directors agree upon. Any amount being paid in advance of calls is not included or taken into account in ascertaining the amount of dividend payable upon the shares in respect of which such advance has been made. The directors may at any time repay the amount so advanced upon giving to such member one month's notice in writing.

6. TRANSFER OF SHARES

6.1 Securities clearing house authorisation

The directors may do anything permitted by the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules which the directors consider necessary or desirable in connection with the participation of the Company in any computerised or electronic system established or recognised by the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules for the purposes of facilitating dealings in shares including, without limitation, electronic registration of transfers of shares.

6.2 Market transfer

Subject to this Constitution, a member may transfer all or any of the member’s shares by a market transfer in accordance with any computerised or electronic system established or recognised by the Listing Rules or the Corporations Act for the purpose of facilitating transfers in shares, including a transfer that takes effect pursuant to the ASX Settlement Operating Rules or some other computerised or electronic transfer process. The Company must comply with any obligations which are imposed on it by the Listing Rules or the ASX Settlement Operating Rules in connection with that transfer of shares.

6.3 Non-interference with market transfers

Despite any other provision of this Constitution, the directors may not prevent, delay or interfere with, the registration of a market transfer where to do so would be contrary to any provision of the Listing Rules or the ASX Settlement Operating Rules.

6.4 Instrument of transfer

If not done by a market transfer then, subject to this Constitution, a member may transfer all or any of the member's shares by instrument in writing which is:

  • (a) a sufficient instrument of transfer of securities under the Corporations Act;

  • (b) in a form approved by the Exchange;

13312731.1

14

  • (c) in any other usual or common form; or

  • (d) in any other form approved by the directors.

6.5 Proper instrument

If a member seeks to transfer all or any of the member’s shares in accordance with the preceding Clause, the Company may only register a transfer of shares where an instrument satisfying the preceding Clause is delivered to the Company (including, for this purpose, a person authorised by the Company to receive instruments, such as a share registrar of the Company) and the instrument:

  • (a) is duly stamped, if necessary;

  • (b) is executed by the transferor and (unless the directors otherwise determine in a particular case, relating only to fully paid shares) the transferee, except where execution by either transferor or transferee is not required by law or is deemed by law to be present;

  • (c) except where otherwise permitted by law, is accompanied by the certificate for the shares the subject of the transfer where a certificate has been issued, unless the directors waive production of the certificate on receiving satisfactory evidence of the loss or destruction of the certificate;

  • (d) is accompanied by such other evidence as the directors may require to prove the title of the transferor or the transferor's right to transfer the shares; and

  • (d) relates only to shares of one class.

6.6 Free registration

Except as provided in:

  • (a) Clause 6.7 (restrictions on transfer);

  • (b) Clause 32 (restricted securities); or

  • (d) the terms of issue of the shares concerned,

the directors must register each transfer of shares which complies with the 2 preceding Clauses, and do so without charging a fee.

6.7 Restrictions on transfer

The directors:

  • (a) may decline to register a transfer of shares where to do so would not contravene the Listing Rules; and

  • (b) must decline to register a transfer of shares when required by law, by the Listing Rules or by the ASX Settlement Operating Rules.

13312731.1

15

6.8 Transferor remains member

The transferor of a share remains the holder of that share until the transfer is registered and the name of the transferee is entered in the register in respect of that share.

6.9 Retention of instruments

If an instrument of transfer or a purported instrument of transfer is delivered to the Company, property to and title in that instrument (but not the shares the subject of it) passes to the Company which is entitled, as against all persons, to the possession of the instrument.

6.10 Notification of refusal to register

If the directors refuse to register a transfer of shares they must give written notice of the refusal to the transferee and the reasons for the refusal:

  • (a) if the Company is listed, within 5 business days after the date on which the transfer was lodged with the Company;

  • (b) otherwise, within 2 months after the date on which the transfer was lodged with the Company.

6.11 Powers of attorney

All powers of attorney granted by members for the purpose, amongst other things, of transferring shares which may be lodged, produced or exhibited to the Company are, as between the Company and the grantor of such powers, treated as remaining in full force and effect and they may be acted upon until such time as express notice in writing of the revocation of them or of death of the grantor has been lodged at the registered office.

6.12 Unmarketable parcels

If the Company is listed and a member holds an Unmarketable Parcel, the provisions of Schedule One apply to that Unmarketable Parcel.

7. TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

7.1 Entitlement to shares on death

If a member dies:

  • (a) the survivor or survivors where the deceased was a joint holder; and

  • (b) the legal personal representative where the deceased was a sole holder is,

upon producing satisfactory proof of death, the only person recognised by the Company as having any title to the deceased's interest in the share. Nothing in this Constitution releases the estate of a deceased joint holder from any liability in respect of any share which has been jointly held by the deceased.

13312731.1

16

7.2 Registration of persons entitled

If a person becomes entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a member or to a share of a mentally incapable member then:

  • (a) that person may, upon such information being produced as is properly required by the directors, and subject to paragraphs (b) and (c), elect either to be registered as the holder of the share or to have some other person (nominated by the person becoming entitled) registered as the transferee of the share;

  • (b) if the person so becoming entitled elects to be registered, that person must deliver or send to the Company a notice in writing signed by that person stating that election;

  • (c) if the person so becoming entitled elects to have another person registered, the person becoming entitled must execute a transfer of the share to that other person; and

  • (d) all the provisions of this Constitution relating to the right to transfer and the registration of transfers apply to any such notice or transfer as if the notice or transfer were a transfer executed by that member.

7.3 Dividends and other rights

A person entitled to be registered as a member in respect of a share by virtue of the 2 preceding Clauses is, upon the production of such evidence as may at any time be properly required by the directors, entitled to the same dividends and other advantages, and to the same rights (whether in relation to meetings of the Company, or to voting, or otherwise), as the registered holder would have been. If 2 or more persons are jointly entitled to any share in consequence of the death of the registered holder they are, for the purposes of this Constitution, treated as joint holders of the share.

8. FORFEITURE AND SURRENDER OF SHARES

8.1 Payment required

If any member fails to pay the whole or any part of any call or instalment on or before the day appointed for payment of the call or instalment, the directors may, at any time while the same remains unpaid, serve a notice on the member requiring the member to pay the same together with any interest that may have accrued thereon and interest up to the date of payment and any expense that may have been incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment.

8.2 Forfeiture notice

The notice must:

  • (a) name a future date (not earlier than the expiry of 14 days from the date of service of the notice) on or before which the payment required by the notice is to be made;

13312731.1

17

  • (b) identify the place where payment is to be made; and

  • (c) state that if payment is not made by the due date and at the place appointed, the shares in respect of which such payment is due are liable to be forfeited.

8.3 Forfeiture

If the requirements of any such notice are not complied with, any share in respect of which such notice has been given may at any time thereafter, if payment required by the notice has still not been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the directors to that effect. Such forfeiture includes all dividends declared in respect of the forfeited shares and not actually paid before the forfeiture. The right to forfeit the shares does not affect the right of the Company to sue for any allotment moneys, calls, instalments, interest and expenses due in respect of such shares.

8.4

Cancellation of forfeiture

Subject to the Listing Rules, the directors may, at any time before the forfeited shares have been sold or otherwise disposed of, annul the forfeiture of them upon such conditions as they think fit.

8.5

Directors may sell

A forfeited share becomes the property of the Company. Subject to the Listing Rules, any forfeited share may be sold or otherwise disposed of upon such terms and in such manner as the directors think fit.

8.6

Effect of forfeiture

A person whose shares have been forfeited ceases to be a member in respect of the forfeited shares. However, that person remains liable to pay and must immediately pay to the Company all money payable by such person in respect of such shares at the time of forfeiture, together with interest thereon from the time of forfeiture, until payment at such rate as the directors may determine. The Company may enforce the payment of such money but is not under any obligation to do so.

8.7 Evidence of forfeiture

A statement in writing by a director or the secretary of the Company that a share in the Company has been duly forfeited on the date stated in the statement is conclusive evidence of the facts so stated as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the share.

8.8 Transfer of forfeited shares

The Company may receive the consideration, if any, given for a forfeited share on any sale or disposition of the share and may appoint some person to execute a transfer of the share in favour of the person to whom the share is sold or disposed of. The transferee must then be registered as the holder of the share and is not bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any. The transferee's title

13312731.1

18

to the share is not affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, sale or disposal of the share.

8.9

Surrender as forfeiture

The directors may accept the surrender of any fully paid share by way of compromise of any question as to the holder being properly registered in respect of it. Any share so surrendered may be disposed of in the same manner as a forfeited share.

8.10 Fixed amounts taken to be calls

The provisions of this Constitution as to forfeiture apply in the case of nonpayment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a share, becomes payable at a fixed time as if that sum had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

9. MEETINGS OF MEMBERS

9.1 Calling of meetings

A meeting of members may be called by:

  • (a) the directors; or

  • (b) if the Company is listed, a single director.

9.2 Requisition of meetings

Except as provided in section 249E or section 249F of the Corporations Act, no member or members may call a meeting of members.

13312731.1

19

proxy is appointed to exercise. If there is no such specification, each proxy may exercise half of the votes;

  • (f) specify a place and a fax number (and may specify an electronic address) for the purpose of receipt of proxy forms;

  • (g) contain a statement, in accordance with Corporations Regulation 7.11.37, that the directors have determined that a person’s entitlement to vote at the meeting of members will be the entitlement of that person set out in the register as at the time and date so determined by the directors.

9.4 Business of AGM

The business of an AGM may include any of the following, even if not referred to in the notice of meeting:

  • (a) the consideration of the annual financial report, directors’ report and auditor’s report;

  • (b) the election of directors;

  • (c) the appointment of the auditor;

  • (d) the fixing of the auditor’s remuneration.

All other business transacted at an AGM, and all business transacted at other meetings of members, is deemed special.

9.5 Entitlement to notice

Written notice of a meeting of members must be given individually to:

  • (a) each member (apart from any member who under this Constitution or by the terms of issue of any share is not entitled either to the notice or to vote at the meeting); and

  • (b) the auditor; and

  • (c) each director.

9.6 Entitlement to proxy form

A proxy form (in a form determined by the directors) must be given to each member entitled to attend and vote at the meeting of members.

9.7 Omission to give notice

The accidental omission to give notice of a meeting of members (or proxy form) to, or the non-receipt of any such notice (or proxy form) by, a person entitled to receive it, or the accidental omission to advertise (if necessary) such meeting, does not invalidate the proceedings at, or any resolution passed at, any such meeting.

13312731.1

20

9.8 Period of notice

Subject to the next Clause, at least 21 clear days’ (or if the Company is listed, 28 clear days’) notice must be given of a meeting of members. This means that both the day the notice was deemed to be given and the day of the meeting of members itself are excluded.

9.9 Consent to short notice

With the consent of the requisite number of members, any meeting of members (except a meeting referred to in the next Clause) may be called on short notice and in any manner they think fit and all provisions of this Constitution are modified accordingly. The required number is:

  • (a) in the case of an AGM, all the members entitled to attend and vote at the AGM;

  • (b) appoint a director in place of a director removed under section 203D of the Corporations Act; or

  • (c) remove an auditor under section 329 of the Corporations Act.

9.11 Cancellation or postponement of meeting

The directors may cancel or postpone the holding of any meeting of members at any time prior to the meeting for any reason unless the meeting was called by requisitioning members, or in response to a requisition by members in which case the directors may only cancel or postpone the meeting for 30 days or more with the consent of a majority of the requisitioning members.

9.12 Notice of cancellation of meeting

Notice of the cancellation of a meeting of members must be given to every member.

9.13 Notice of day, time and place of postponed meeting

9.14 Proxy, attorney, or corporate representatives for postponed or cancelled meetings

Where

  • (a) the terms of an instrument appointing a proxy, attorney or corporate representative provide that such appointment is valid only for a meeting of members held on or before a specified date; and

  • (b) the date for holding the meeting is postponed to a date later than the date specified in the instrument

then the date to which the meeting has been postponed is substituted for the date specified in the instrument unless the member appointing the proxy, attorney or corporate representative gives written notice specifying otherwise to the Company 48 hours prior to the time to which the meeting has been postponed (and in that event the member may at the same time appoint a new proxy, attorney or representative in accordance with the relevant provisions of Clause 10, with necessary modifications).

11. PROCEEDINGS AT MEETINGS OF MEMBERS

11.1 Quorum

No business may be transacted at any meeting of members unless a quorum of members is present at the time when the meeting proceeds to business.

11.2 Quorum requirements

The quorum for a meeting of members is:

  • (a) at least 2 members present at all times during the meeting holding at least 10% of the votes that may be cast at the meeting; or

  • (b) if the Company only has one member who may vote on a resolution, that member.

11.3 Failure of quorum

If a quorum is not present within 15 minutes from the time appointed for a meeting of members the meeting is adjourned to the same day in the following week at the same time and place unless:

  • (a) the meeting was called by, or in response to, the requisition of members made under the Corporations Act, in which case the meeting is dissolved; or

  • (b) the directors determine otherwise by giving written notice to the members of the day, time and place to which the meeting has been adjourned.

11.4 Quorum at meeting adjourned under preceding Clause

At any meeting adjourned under the preceding Clause if a quorum is not present within 15 minutes of the time appointed for the adjourned meeting the meeting is dissolved.

11.5 Special business

No special business may be transacted at any meeting of members other than that stated in the notice calling the meeting unless it is a matter that is required by this Constitution or the Corporations Act to be transacted at such meeting.

11.6 Chair of meeting

The chair of the directors, or in that individual's absence the deputy chair of the directors (if any), is entitled to take the chair at each meeting of members. If neither of those individuals is present at any meeting of members within 15

13312731.1

26

minutes after the time appointed for holding such meeting, or neither of them is willing to take the chair, the directors present may choose one of their number as a chair and if no director present is willing to take the chair the directors may choose an individual, whether a member or not, as chair of the meeting, failing which the members present must elect an individual, whether a member or not, to be chair of the meeting.

11.7 Passing the chair

If the chair of a meeting of members is unwilling or unable to be the chair for any part of the business of the meeting:

  • (a) that chair may withdraw as chair for that part of the business and may nominate any individual who would be entitled under the preceding Clause to chair the meeting for that part of the business; and

  • (b) after that part of the business is completed, the individual so nominated must cease to chair the meeting upon the request of the prior chair and the prior chair is entitled to resume as the chair of the meeting.

11.8 Responsibilities of chair

The chair of a meeting of members is responsible for the general conduct of the meeting and to ascertain the sense of the meeting in relation to the business transacted at it. For these purposes the chair of the meeting may, without limitation:

  • (a) delay the commencement of the meeting if that individual determines it is desirable for the better conduct of the meeting;

  • (b) move any motion even though the chair is not a shareholder;

  • (c) make, vary or rescind rulings;

  • (d) prescribe, vary or revoke procedures;

  • (e) in addition to other powers to adjourn, adjourn the meeting, or any item of business of the meeting, without the concurrence of the meeting if that individual determines it is desirable for the orderly conduct of the meeting or the conduct of a poll; and

  • (f) determine conclusively any dispute concerning the admission, validity or rejection of a vote.

11.9 Admission to meetings

The chair of a meeting of members may refuse any individual admission to, or require any individual to leave and remain out of, the meeting where that individual:

  • (a) fails to comply with searches, restrictions or other security arrangements the chair considers appropriate; or

13312731.1

27

  • (b) is in possession of a pictorial-recording device, sound-recording device or broadcasting device; or

  • (c) is in possession of a placard or banner; or

This power may be exercised:

  • (i) in respect of an individual regardless of whether that individual is a member or would otherwise have been entitled to attend the meeting or not; and

  • (ii) by either the chair personally or by an individual acting with the authority of the chair of the meeting.

11.10 Adjournment of meeting

The chair of a meeting of members at which a quorum is present may, and must if so directed by vote of the meeting, adjourn the meeting from time to time and from place to place as the chair determines.

11.11 Business at adjourned meeting

No business may be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business left unfinished at the meeting from which the adjournment took place. No notice need be given of an adjournment, or of the business to be transacted at an adjourned meeting, unless it is adjourned for 30 days or more, in which event notice of the adjourned meeting must be given.

12. VOTING AT MEETINGS OF MEMBERS

12.1 Entitlement to vote

Subject to this Constitution and the terms of issue of any shares, each individual who is present at a meeting of members may vote if he or she is a member or a recognised proxy, attorney or corporate representative of a member.

12.2 Number of votes

Each individual who is, under the preceding Clause, entitled to vote has:

  • (a) on a show of hands only one vote, regardless of how many members the individual may represent; and

13312731.1

28

(b) on a poll:

  • (i) in respect of a fully paid share - one vote for each share held by the individual or held by members for whom the individual is the recognised proxy, attorney or corporate representative; and

  • (ii) in respect of a partly paid share – a fraction of a vote for each share held by the individual or held by members for whom the individual is the recognised proxy, attorney or corporate representative equivalent to the proportion which the amount paid (not credited) is of the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited), ignoring amounts paid in advance of a call.

12.3 Voting restrictions

If the Company is listed and either:

  • (a) in accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules; or

  • (b) to ensure that a resolution on which the Corporations Act requires that particular persons do not cast a vote so that the resolution has a specified effect under the Corporations Act,

the notice of a meeting of members specifies that, in relation to particular business to be considered at that meeting, votes cast by particular persons (whether specified by name or by description of particular classes of persons) are to be disregarded by the Company, the Company must take no account, in determining the votes cast on a resolution relating to that business (whether a special resolution or an ordinary resolution) or for any other purpose, of any vote cast or purported to be cast by or on behalf of any of those persons (whether on a show of hands or on a poll) in relation to that resolution. However, a person who is not entitled to vote on a resolution as a member, may vote as a recognised proxy for another member who can vote if the proxy form specifies the way the recognised proxy is to vote on the resolution and the recognised proxy votes that way.

12.4 Calls unpaid

A person is not entitled to vote in respect of particular shares at a meeting of members unless all calls and other sums presently payable by the member in respect of those shares have been paid.

12.5

Attendance of member suspends the proxy

If a member is present at any meeting of members in person (or in the case of a body corporate, by its corporate representative) the proxy or attorney of that member may not exercise the voting rights of the member while the member is present.

12.6 Revocation of proxies

A vote given or act done in accordance with the terms of a proxy form or power of attorney is valid despite the previous death of the principal, or revocation of the proxy or power of attorney, or transfer of the share in respect of which the vote is

13312731.1

29

given, or act done, provided no intimation in writing of the death, revocation or transfer has been received at the registered office or by the chair of the meeting before the vote is given or act done. Any proxy may be revoked at any time. A later appointment revokes an earlier one if both appointments could not be validly exercised at the meeting. The decision of the chair as to whether a proxy has been revoked is final and conclusive.

12.7 Proxy must vote on a poll as directed

A proxy form may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution. If it does:

  • (a) the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way; and

  • (b) if the proxy is the chair, the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way; and

  • (c) if the proxy is not the chair, the proxy need not vote on a poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way.

Nothing in this Clause affects the way that the individual who is a proxy can cast any votes they hold as a member.

12.8 Proxy must abstain if directed

A proxy form may specify that the proxy is to abstain from voting on a particular resolution. If it does the proxy must not vote on that resolution.

12.9 Method of voting

The chair of the meeting may determine that any question to be submitted to a meeting of members be determined by a poll without first submitting the question to the meeting to be decided by a show of hands. Unless the chair of the meeting makes such a determination, each question put to a vote at a meeting of members (except where there is an election of directors by ballot) must be determined by a show of hands (as determined by the chair of the meeting) unless a poll is properly demanded.

12.10 Who may demand a poll

At a meeting of members a demand for a poll may be made by:

  • (a) the chair of the meeting; or

  • (b) at least 5 individuals present having the right to vote at on the resolution; or

  • (c) any one or more individuals present having the right to vote at least 5% of the votes that may be cast on the resolution on a poll.

12.11 When poll may be demanded

The poll may be demanded:

13312731.1

30

  • (a) before a vote is taken; or

  • (b) before the voting results on a show of hands are declared; or

  • (c) immediately after the voting results on a show of hands are declared.

12.12 Declaring result of vote on show of hands

At any meeting of members (unless a poll is so demanded) a declaration by the chair of the meeting that a resolution has been carried, or carried by a particular majority, or lost, or has not been carried by a particular majority and an entry in the book containing the minutes of proceedings of the Company is conclusive evidence of the fact without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of or against such resolution.

12.13

Conduct of poll

The demand for a poll may be withdrawn. If a poll is duly demanded (and the demand not withdrawn) it must be taken in such manner and at such time (either at once or after an interval or adjournment or otherwise) as the chair of the meeting directs. The result of the poll is the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded. A poll demanded on any question of adjournment must be taken at the meeting and without an adjournment. The demand for a poll does not prevent the continuance of the meeting for the transaction of any business other than the question on which a poll has been demanded.

12.14 No casting vote for chair

If, on a show of hands or on a poll, the votes are equal:

  • (a) the chair of the meeting does not have a casting vote in addition to the vote, if any, of the chair as a member; and

  • (b) the motion is defeated.

12.15 Joint holders’ vote

In the case of joint holders, any one of them may vote. If on a particular occasion more than one of the joint holders votes, only the first to vote is counted. If it is not practical to determine which was first, the earliest named in the register to exercise such right (to the exclusion of those named later) prevails. Any such determination (by the chair or returning officer as the case may be) is final and conclusive. Several executors or administrators of a deceased member are, for the purposes of this Clause treated as joint holders of the share.

12.16 Objections

No objection may be made to the validity of any vote except at the meeting or adjourned meeting or poll at which such vote is tendered and every vote not disallowed at any such meeting or poll is treated as valid.

13312731.1

31

12.17 Ruling on votes

The chair of the meeting is the sole judge of the validity of every vote tendered at the meeting and the determination of the chair is final and conclusive.

13. APPOINTMENT AND REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS

13.1 Number of directors

The number of directors must be not less than 3 nor more than 12.

13.2 No share qualification

There is no share qualification for directors.

13.3 Initial directors

The directors holding office at the date of adoption of this Clause continue in office subject to this Constitution, with their retirement determined under Clause 13.5 and Clause 13.6 , as the case may be.

13.4 Casual appointment

The directors may at any time appoint any individual as a director, either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the directors. Until that individual is re-elected at a meeting of members, that director is a “ casual appointee ”.

13.5 Retirement of casual appointee

A casual appointee holds office only until the conclusion of the AGM following his or her appointment by the directors and is then eligible for re-election. A casual appointee is not taken into account in determining the number of directors, if any, who are to retire by rotation at such AGM.

13.6 Retirement by rotation

At the conclusion of every AGM, one-third of the eligible directors (as determined by the next 2 Clauses) must retire from office. No director (except the continuing managing director) may retain office for more than 3 years (or until the conclusion of the third AGM following his or her last election, whichever is the longer) without submitting himself or herself for re-election even though such submission results in more than one-third retiring from office.

13.7 Those who retire

For the purposes of the preceding Clause:

  • (a) the “ eligible directors ” are all directors for the time being, but excluding:

  • (i) all alternate directors;

  • (ii) the continuing managing director;

13312731.1

32

  • (iii) all casual appointees;

  • (iv) any director who, by reason of his or her age, must seek reappointment at the AGM under section 201C of the Corporations Act;

  • (b) if the number of eligible directors is not a multiple of 3, then the whole number nearest to but not exceeding one-third must retire;

  • (c) if as a result of rounding down pursuant to paragraph (b), there would be no director due to retire from office at the conclusion of an AGM and no casual appointee is due to so retire, then one director must retire by rotation at the conclusion of that AGM and is eligible for re-election.

13.8

Selection of rotating directors

In every year the director or directors to retire are the one-third or other nearest whole number who have been longest in office since their last election. As between 2 or more directors who have been in office an equal length of time, the director or directors to retire must, in default of agreement between them, be decided by the secretary by lot. Such agreement or decision, when confirmed in writing by the secretary to the directors concerned, may not be varied or revoked unless all the directors concerned agree. A retiring director is eligible for re-election.

13.9

Appointment at AGM

Unless the directors decide to reduce the number of directors in office (such reduction to be effective from the conclusion of the next AGM), the Company at any AGM at which any director retires may fill the vacated office by either reelecting the same individual or electing some other individual.

13.10 Deemed re-appointment

If at any AGM the vacated office is not filled, the retiring director, if willing and not disqualified, is treated as having been re-elected unless an ordinary resolution for the re-election of that director is put and lost.

13.11 Candidates requiring nomination

No individual, except, first, a director retiring by rotation, second, a casual appointee or, third, an individual recommended by the directors for election, is eligible for election to the office of director at any meeting of members (whether an AGM or otherwise) unless duly nominated.

13.12 Valid nominations

Nominations must be made to the secretary at the registered office. Nominations close at 5.00 p.m. (Sydney time) on the day which is 35 business days before the date for the holding of the meeting of members. For a nomination to be valid:

  • (a) the nomination must name the candidate and be signed by not less than 5 members; and

13312731.1

33

  • (b) the individual nominated must consent to act if elected. The consent is sufficient if the individual signs a form of consent on the nomination paper but the secretary may accept any other form of consent, whether accompanying the nomination paper or not, that the secretary deems satisfactory, and such acceptance is final; and

  • (c) the nomination and consent must be received before the close of nominations.

13.13 Resignation of director

Any director may retire from office by giving notice in writing to the Company of the director's intention to do so. Such resignation takes effect immediately unless the resignation is stated in the notice to take effect at some future time in which event the resignation takes effect upon the expiration of such time or the date 3 months from the giving of the notice, whichever is the earlier. A written resignation which has not yet taken effect may be withdrawn by the director, by written notice to the Company, at any time prior to the resignation taking effect.

13.14 Vacation of office

In addition to the circumstances in which the office of director becomes vacant by virtue of the Corporations Act or other provisions of this Constitution, the office of director, by the very fact, is vacated if the director:

  • (a) becomes an insolvent under administration; or

  • (b) cannot manage the Company because of their mental incapacity and is an individual whose estate or property has had a personal representative or trustee appointed to administer it; or

  • (c) is absent from meetings of directors for a continuous period of 6 months without leave of absence from the directors; or

  • (d) fails to pay any call due on any shares held by that director for the space of one month, or such further time as the directors allow, after the time when the call has been made; or

  • (e) is removed from office by an ordinary resolution.

13.15 Less than minimum number of directors

The continuing directors may act despite any vacancy in their body but if the number falls below the minimum number fixed in accordance with this Constitution, the directors may act only:

  • (a) to appoint directors up to that minimum number; or

  • (b) to call a meeting of members; or

  • (c) in emergencies.

13312731.1

34

14. ALTERNATE DIRECTORS

14.1 Power to appoint alternate director

Each director may at any time appoint any individual approved for that purpose by a majority of his or her co-directors to act as an alternate director in the appointor's place.

14.2 Suspension of appointment

The appointor may vary, suspend, or terminate the appointment of any alternate.

14.3 Notice of appointment

Notice of each such appointment, suspension or termination must be made in writing to the alternate, signed by the appointor, and a copy served on the Company.

14.4 Electronic notifications

Any notice under the preceding Clause or the next Clause may be served by electronic transmission and any such transmission purporting to be signed by a director is treated as being in writing signed by such director.

14.5 Role of alternate

An alternate director, in that capacity:

  • (a) is not entitled to receive notice of meetings of the directors, unless the appointor has, by notice in writing to the Company, required it do so either generally or in particular circumstances;

  • (b) may attend and vote at a meeting of the directors if the appointor is not present at that meeting;

  • (c) is entitled to sign a circular resolution under Clause 17.10 , unless the appointor has, by notice in writing to the Company, suspended that right either generally or in particular circumstances;

  • (d) when acting in the appointor’s place at any time, is an officer of the Company and not an agent of the appointor and, in those circumstances, is subject to the duties and has all the powers and rights of a director (subject to this Clause);

  • (e) does not have a conflict of interest solely by reason of the fact that the appointor has (or vice versa); and

  • (f) is not taken into account in determining either the number of directors or the rotation of directors.

13312731.1

35

14.6 Remuneration of alternate

An alternate's only rights (if any) as to remuneration for ordinary service as a director are against the appointor and not the Company.

14.7 Multiple votes

A director or any other individual may act as alternate director to represent more than one director, and have as many votes accordingly, but for the purpose of forming a quorum counts as only one director.

14.8 Termination of appointment

The appointment of an alternate director, by the very fact, is terminated:

  • (a) if, by writing under the hand of the alternate, left at the registered office, the alternate resigns such appointment; or

  • (b) if the appointment of the alternate is terminated by the appointor; or

  • (c) if a majority of the co-directors of the appointor withdraw the approval of the individual to act as an alternate; or

  • (d) if the appointor vacates office as a director; or

  • (e) if the appointment is to act as alternate for one or more directors and all of those named directors have vacated office as directors; or

  • (f) on the happening of any event which, if the alternate were a director, would cause the alternate to vacate the office of director.

15. MANAGING DIRECTOR

15.1 Appointment of managing directors

The directors may at any time:

  • (a) appoint one or more of their body to be managing director (or managing directors) or to some other executive office of the Company;

  • (b) define, limit and restrict that individual's powers;

  • (c) fix that individual's remuneration and duties;

  • (d) vary any of the powers so conferred; and

  • (e) remove that individual from that office (but not as a director) and appoint another (or others) in that individual's place or places.

15.2 Continuing managing directors

If the directors appoint more than one managing director, then the directors must nominate one of the managing directors as “the continuing managing director”. The directors may terminate or change the nomination of the continuing managing

13312731.1

36

director at any time. If there is one managing director, then he or she is regarded as the continuing managing director.

15.3 Application of other clauses to managing director

A continuing managing director is not, while that individual continues to hold that office, subject to retirement by rotation and that individual is not taken into account in determining the rotation of retirement of directors. A managing director, subject to the provisions of any contract between that individual and the Company and subject to this Constitution, is subject to the same provisions as to resignation, disqualification and removal as the other directors and if that individual ceases to hold the office of director from any cause that individual, by the very fact, immediately ceases to be a managing director.

15.4 Acting managing director

If a managing director becomes at any time in any way incapable of acting as such, the directors may appoint any other director to act temporarily as managing director.

15.5 Remuneration of executive directors

Subject to the provisions of any agreement entered into in a particular case, the remuneration of a managing director or other director appointed to an executive office, may at any time be fixed by the directors . Such remuneration may be by way of fixed salary, participation in profits of the Company or of any other company in which the Company is interested, or by any or all of those modes but, while the Company is listed, must not be by way of commission on, or percentage of, the operating revenue of the Company.

16. REMUNERATION OF DIRECTORS

In each financial year of the Company the directors must be paid out of the funds of the Company as remuneration, for their ordinary services as directors of the Company, such sum as the directors determine, but it must not exceed that last fixed under Clause 16.1 .

The Company may contract with any director to secure payment of any such sum to him or her, to the director's legal personal representatives, dependants or any of them.

  • (c) the accidental omission to give notice of any meeting of the directors to, or the non-receipt of any such notice by, an individual entitled to receive that notice does not invalidate the calling of the meeting or any resolution passed at any such meeting.

13312731.1

39

17.7 Appointment of chair

The directors may elect one of their number to be chair of their meetings and may determine the period for which that individual is to hold that office.

17.10

Circular resolution of directors

The document or documents referred to in the 2 preceding Clauses are treated as constituting a minute of that meeting and must be entered in books kept for that purpose.

17.13 Validity of acts of directors

All acts done at any meeting of the directors or of a committee of directors or other persons or by any individual acting as a director or any person purporting to act as an attorney under power of the Company are, despite the fact that later it is discovered that there was some defect in the appointment or continuance in office of such director, person or attorney so acting or that they or any of them were disqualified or were not entitled to vote, as valid as if every such person had been duly appointed or had duly continued in office and was qualified to be a director or attorney and was entitled to vote.

27.4 Accumulation of reserves

The directors may before declaring any dividend set aside out of the profits of the Company such sums as they think proper as reserves which shall, at the discretion of the directors, be applicable for any purpose to which the profits of the Company may be properly applied and pending any such application may at the like discretion either be employed in the business of the Company or be invested in such investments as the directors may at any time think fit. The directors may also without placing the same to reserve carry forward any profits which they may think prudent not to appropriate.

27.5

Apportionment

Subject to the rights of persons, if any, entitled to shares with special rights as to dividend, all dividends must be declared and paid according to the amounts paid (not credited) on the shares in respect of which the dividend is paid.

All dividends must be apportioned and paid pro rata to the proportion of the total amount paid and payable (excluding amounts credited) on the shares during any portion or portions of the period in respect of which the dividend is paid. If any share is issued on terms providing that it ranks for dividend as from a particular date, that share ranks for dividend accordingly.

The directors may deduct from any dividend payable to any member all sums of money (if any) presently payable by the member to the Company on account of calls or otherwise in relation to the shares of the Company.

Payment of dividend in specie

The directors, when declaring a dividend, may direct payment of such dividend wholly or partly by the distribution of specific assets. This may include paid up shares, debentures or debenture stock of any other body corporate or in any one or more of such ways. Where any difficulty arises in regard to such distribution the directors may settle the same as they think expedient and fix the value for

13312731.1

50

distribution of such specific assets or any part of those assets and may determine that cash payments be made to any members upon the footing of the value so fixed in order to adjust the rights of all parties and may vest any such specific assets in trustees as may seem expedient to the directors.

27.8 Dispatch and payment of dividends

A dividend due to a member may, if that member elects under a plan or arrangement offered at any time by the Company, be credited directly to a bank account. Any dividend, interest or other money payable in cash in respect of shares may be paid by cheque, sent through the post directed to the registered address of the holder or in the case of joint holders to the registered address of that one of the joint holders who is first named on the register or to such person and to such address as the holder or joint holders may in writing direct. Every such cheque must be made payable to the person to whom it is sent and may be made payable to bearer. Any one of 2 or more joint holders may give effectual receipts for any dividends or other money payable in respect of the shares held by them as joint holders.

27.9

Call satisfied by dividend

The directors, when declaring a dividend, may make a call on the members of such amount as they may fix but so that the call on each member must not exceed the dividend payable to the member and so that the call is made payable at the same time as the dividend and the dividend may, if so arranged between the Company and the member, be set off against the call.

27.10 Unclaimed dividend

All dividends declared but unclaimed may:

  • (a) in the case of dividends not to be distributed as money, be realised into money; and

27.12 Share plans

The directors may at any time adopt and implement any number of plans, on terms they determine, by which a member may elect to receive shares as, or instead of, dividends. Such plans may include:

  • (a) a plan under which a member who elects to participate in respect of a share held by the member is entitled to an issue of bonus shares instead of a dividend distributed as money in respect of that share; and

13312731.1

51

  • (b) a plan under which a dividend to be distributed as money to a member in respect of a share is, if the member elects that the share participate in the plan, retained by the Company and applied in subscription for fully paid shares pursuant to the terms of the plan.

27.13 Powers concerning share plans

The directors have all powers necessary or desirable to implement and carry out fully any plan adopted under the preceding Clause and may (without limitation) at any time:

  • (a) amend the terms of any plan as they consider desirable; and

  • (b) suspend for any period or terminate the operation of any plan as they consider desirable.

28. CAPITALISATION OF PROFITS

28.1 Capitalisation of profits or reserves

The directors may at any time resolve that it is desirable to capitalise any sum being the whole or a part of the amount for the time being standing to the credit of any reserve account or the profit and loss account or otherwise available for distribution to members and that such sum may be applied for the benefit of members in proportion to the number of shares (being shares which entitle the holder to participate in the type of distribution being made pursuant to this Clause) held by them in any of the ways mentioned in the following Clause.

28.2 Application

The ways in which a sum may be applied under the preceding Clause are:

  • (a) in paying up any amounts unpaid on the issue price of shares or any Attached Securities; or

  • (b) in paying up in full the issue price of unissued shares, debentures or any Attached Securities; or

  • (c) partly as mentioned in paragraph (a) and partly as mentioned in paragraph (b).

28.3 Settlement of difficulties

The directors may do all things necessary to give effect to the resolution and in particular to the extent necessary to adjust the rights of the members among themselves, may:

  • (a) issue fractional certificates or make cash payments in cases where shares or debentures become issuable in fractions;

  • (b) fix the value for distribution of any specific assets or any part of them;

13312731.1

52

  • (c) determine that cash payments be made to any members upon the footing of the value so fixed or that fractions of less value than 50 cents may be disregarded in order to adjust rights of all parties;

  • (d) vest any such cash or specific assets in trustees upon trusts for the persons entitled to the dividend or capitalised fund; and

  • (e) authorise any person to make, on behalf of the members entitled to any further shares or debentures upon the capitalisation, an agreement with the Company providing for the issue to them, credited as fully paid up, of any such further shares or debentures or for the payment up by the Company on their behalf of the amounts remaining unpaid of the issue price on their existing shares by the application of their respective proportions of the sum resolved to be capitalised;

and any agreement made under an authority referred to in paragraph (e) is effective and binding on all the members concerned.

13312731.1

54

30.2 Insurance premiums

The directors may at any time pay premiums in respect of a contract insuring an individual (whether with others or not) who is an officer of the Company against a liability incurred by the individual as such an officer, or as an officer of a related body corporate. The liability insured against must not include that which the law prohibits. Any such premium in relation to a director is in addition to, and not regarded as part of, the remuneration approved by members under this Constitution.

30.3 Access

The directors may at any time give an officer or former officer of the Company access to certain papers, including documents provided or available to the directors and other papers referred to in those documents.

30.4 Contract

31. WINDING UP

31.1 Power of directors

The directors may authorise the presentation of a petition for the winding up of the Company by the court.

31.2 Distribution if insufficient assets

Subject to the terms of issue of a share, if the Company is wound up and the assets available for distribution among the members (in that capacity) are insufficient to repay all the paid up capital, those assets must be distributed so that, to the greatest possible extent, the amount distributed to a member in respect of each share is proportional to the capital amount paid up (or which at the commencement of the winding up ought to have been paid up) on that share compared with the total paid up capital of the Company.

31.3 Distribution of surplus assets

Subject to the terms of issue of a share, if the Company is wound up and after distribution of assets to repay paid up capital there remain assets available for distribution to the members (in that capacity), those assets must be distributed so that, to the greatest possible extent, the amount distributed to a member in respect of each share is proportional to the capital amount paid up (or which at the commencement of the winding up ought to have been paid up) on that share compared with the total paid up capital of the Company.

31.4 Distribution in specie

If the Company is wound up and a special resolution is passed authorising that it be done, the liquidator may distribute to the members all or any part of the assets

13312731.1

55

to be distributed to them in specie (whether they are property of the same kind or not). For that purpose the liquidator may, if so authorised by the special resolution:

  • (a) set the value of each asset to be distributed that the liquidator considers fair; and

  • (b) determine how the distribution is to be carried out (including by allocating the assets) as between the members of different classes of members,

but so that no member must accept any shares or other property in respect of which there is any liability.

31.5 Vesting in trustee

If so authorised by a special resolution, the liquidator of the Company may vest all or any part of the assets to be distributed to the members in a trustee on terms of trust for the benefit of the members as the liquidator considers appropriate.

32. RESTRICTED SECURITIES

If the Company is listed and has on issue any securities which are classified under the Listing Rules or by the Exchange as restricted securities, then despite any other provisions of this Constitution:

  • (a) the restricted securities cannot be disposed of during the escrow period, except as permitted by the Listing Rules or the Exchange;

  • (b) the Company must refuse to acknowledge a disposal (including registering a transfer) of the restricted securities during the escrow period, except as permitted by the Listing Rules or the Exchange;

  • (c) during a breach of the Listing Rules relating to restricted securities, or a breach of a restriction agreement, the holder of the restricted securities is not entitled to any dividend or distribution, or voting rights, in respect of the restricted securities.

33. COMPLIANCE WITH LISTING RULES

If the Company is listed, the following clauses apply:

  • (a) notwithstanding anything contained in this Constitution, if the Listing Rules prohibit an act being done, the act shall not be done;

  • (b) nothing contained in this Constitution prevents an act being done that the Listing Rules require to be done;

  • (c) if the Listing Rules require an act to be done or not to be done, authority is given for that act to be done or not to be done (as the case may be);

  • (d) if the Listing Rules require this Constitution to contain a provision and it does not contain such a provision, this Constitution is deemed to contain that provision;

13312731.1

56

  • (e) if the Listing Rules require this Constitution not to contain a provision and it contains such a provision, this Constitution is deemed not to contain that provision;

  • (f) if any provision of this Constitution is or becomes inconsistent with the Listing Rules, this Constitution is deemed not to contain that provision to the extent of the inconsistency.

34. STAPLING PROVISIONS

34.1 Power to Staple Ordinary Shares

  • (a) The directors may, subject to this Clause 34 , the Corporations Act and, if Ordinary Shares are quoted on the Exchange, the Listing Rules, cause the Stapling of any Security to any Ordinary Share and may cause the Stapling of further Securities to the Stapled Securities whether those Securities are a different class of Securities of a Stapled Entity from those stapled at the time or Securities of an entity that is not a Stapled Entity.

  • (b) Any Stapling referred to in Clause 34.1(a) takes effect from the Stapling Date.

34.2 Stapling Resolution

Without limiting Clauses 34.3 to 34.5 , if the Stapling Resolution is passed by members by the requisite majorities set out in the EM and all conditions to that resolution are satisfied, Clauses 34.3 to 34.5 will take effect in respect of the Storage Fund Stapling Proposal.

34.3 Power to implement Stapling Proposal

Subject to the Corporations Act, and if the Ordinary Shares are Officially Quoted, the Listing Rules, the Company has power to do all things which it considers are necessary, desirable or reasonably incidental to effect a Stapling Proposal and such powers apply notwithstanding, and are not limited by, any provision of this Constitution.

34.4 Appointment of Company as agent and attorney

  • (a) The Company is irrevocably appointed as the agent and attorney of each member to execute all documents and do all things which it reasonably considers are necessary or desirable to be executed or done on behalf of the member, including, without limitation:

  • (i) taking all necessary action to compulsorily transfer all Stapled Securities held by each Excluded Foreign Holder including without limitation, in the manner contemplated by, and at the times set out in the EM;

  • (ii) applying for Securities in the name of the member, including Securities in a Stapled Entity;

13312731.1

57

  • (iii) agreeing on behalf of the member to be bound by the constitution of a Stapled Entity;

  • (iv) accepting transfers of Securities for the member,

to effect a Stapling Proposal or to give effect to any issue of Securities contemplated by Clauses 2.10, 2.11, 27.12 or 28 .

  • (b) The Company is authorised to execute these documents and do these things without needing any further authority or approval from the members.

34.5 Paramountcy

  • (a) Subject only to the Corporations Act, and if the Ordinary Shares are Officially Quoted, the Listing Rules, this Clause 34 has effect notwithstanding any other provision of this Constitution and any provision of this Constitution which is inconsistent with this Clause 34 does not operate to the extent of any inconsistency.

  • (b) If there is an inconsistency between any provision of this constitution relating to Stapling (including this Clause 34 ) and any other provision, then the provision relating to Stapling prevails to the extent of the inconsistency, except where this would result in a breach of the Listing Rules, ASX Settlement Rules, the Corporations Act or any other law. The provision relating to Stapling prevails in this way, even if the other provisions are expressed to apply notwithstanding any other provisions in this constitution.

34.6 Operation of Stapling Provisions

Clauses 34.7 to 34.13 apply only, and for so long as, an Ordinary Share is a component of a Stapled Security.

34.7 Ordinary Shares to be Stapled

  • (a) Details of all Stapled Securities sufficient to identify the Securities which comprise the Stapled Security must be recorded in the Stapled Security Register.

  • (b) Subject to the Corporations Act, while the Company is admitted to an uncertificated trading system, a joint holding statement may be issued to evidence the holding of Stapled Securities comprising Ordinary Shares and Attached Securities.

  • (c) The number of issued Ordinary Shares must equal the number of Attached Securities at that time divided by the Corresponding Number.

  • (d) The Company must not issue Ordinary Shares unless satisfied that each of those Ordinary Shares will be Stapled to the Corresponding Number of each Attached Security to form a Stapled Security.

  • (e) The Company and the member must neither do any act, matter or thing nor refrain from doing any act, matter or thing if to do so or refrain from doing

13312731.1

58

so (as the case may be) would result directly or indirectly in any Ordinary Share no longer being a component of a Stapled Security. In particular:

  • (i) the Company must not offer an Ordinary Share for subscription or sale (including by way of offering of options over Ordinary Shares) unless an offer is made at the same time and to the same person for the Corresponding Number of each Attached Security for issue or sale;

  • (ii) any offer of an Ordinary Share for subscription or sale (including by way of offering of options over Ordinary Shares) must require the offeree to subscribe for or buy the Corresponding Number of each Attached Security;

  • (iii) a holder of Ordinary Shares must not sell an Ordinary Share to any person unless the Corresponding Number of each Attached Security is also issued or sold to the same person at the same time;

  • (iv) the Company must not issue or sell an Ordinary Share to any person unless the Corresponding Number of each Attached Security is also issued or sold to the same person at the same time;

  • (v) the Company must not consolidate, split, sub-divide, cancel or otherwise reorganise any Ordinary Shares unless at the same time there is a corresponding consolidation, subdivision, cancellation or other reorganisation of all Attached Securities;

  • (vi) the Company must not forfeit an Ordinary Share unless the Corresponding Number of each Attached Security is also forfeited; and

  • (vii) the Company must not register the transmission or transfer of Ordinary Shares including pursuant to Clause 6.12 , unless the Corresponding Number of each Attached Security is also transmitted or transferred (as the case may be).

Paragraphs (a) to (e) inclusive apply, with necessary modifications, to the issue, offer, sale or reorganisation of options.

34.8 Unstapling Date

  • (a) Subject to approval by a special resolution of the holders of Ordinary Shares and members of each Stapled Entity respectively, the Company may determine that Stapling provisions of this constitution will cease to apply and that a particular date is to be the Unstapling Date.

  • (b) Stapling also ceases to apply on the winding up of a Stapled Entity and the Unstapling Date is the date of winding up.

  • (c) On and from the Unstapling Date, each Ordinary Share ceases to be Stapled to the Attached Securities and the Company must do all things reasonably necessary to procure that each Ordinary Share is Unstapled.

13312731.1

59

  • (d) If the directors determine to Unstaple the Stapled Securities pursuant to this Clause 34.8 , this does not prevent the directors from subsequently determining that the Stapling provisions should recommence.

34.9 Transfers of Stapled Securities

  • (a) A transfer of an Ordinary Share forming part of a Stapled Security will only be accepted as a proper transfer in registrable form if, in addition to the requirement of Clause 5 the transfer relates to or is accompanied by a transfer of the Corresponding Number of each Attached Security from the same transferor in favour of the same transferee.

  • (b) A transfer of an Ordinary Share which is not accompanied by a transfer of the Corresponding Number of each Attached Security will be taken to authorise the Company as agent for the transferor to effect a transfer of the Corresponding Number of each Attached Security from the same transferor to the same transferee.

  • (c) A transfer of any Attached Security to which an Ordinary Share is Stapled which is not accompanied by a transfer of the Ordinary Share will be taken to authorise the Company as agent for the transferor to effect a transfer of the Ordinary Share and any other Attached Securities to which the Ordinary Share is Stapled from the same transferor to the same transferee.

  • (d) Each holder of Ordinary Shares irrevocably appoints the Company as its agent and attorney for the purposes of taking all necessary action (including executing any documentation which the directors reasonably consider is necessary or desirable) to effect on a date to be determined by the directors, the transfer to the Company or to a person determined by the directors of any Attached Security which was Stapled to a forfeited Ordinary Share which has been cancelled or sold.

34.10 Stapled Security Register

The directors must maintain or cause to be maintained a Stapled Security Register which:

  • (a) may incorporate or form part of the Register;

  • (b) records the names of the holders of Ordinary Shares, the number of Ordinary Shares held, the number of Attached Securities held by the holders of Ordinary Shares to which each member’s Ordinary Shares are Stapled and any additional information required by the Corporations Act or Listing Rules (if applicable) or determined from time to time by the directors.

34.11 Variation of Stapling provisions

The consent of each other Stapled Entity must be obtained to any amendment to this constitution which:

  • (a) directly affects the terms on which Ordinary Shares are Stapled; or

13312731.1

60

  • (b) removes any restriction on the transfer of an Ordinary Share if that restriction also exists for all other Attached Securities unless that restriction is simultaneously removed for all Attached Securities.

34.12 Maintenance of listing and consistency with other constitutions

  • (a) The Company must use every reasonable endeavour to procure that the Stapled Securities are and continue to be officially quoted on the Exchange as one joint security.

  • (b) The Company must use every reasonable endeavour to procure that the Stapled Securities are dealt with under this constitution in a manner consistent with the provisions relating to the Attached Securities in the constitutions of the Stapled Entities.

34.13 Director’s Duties

The directors are is entitled to have regard to the fact that the Company is operating with the Stapled Entities as part of a stapled group with common members and with the intention that the economic and other interests of the Company and the Stapled Entities are aligned. Accordingly, in exercising any power or discretion or in fulfilling any of their obligations, the directors may, except to the extent otherwise required by law, have regard to the interests of members as holders of other Attached Securities.

13312731.1

61

SCHEDULE ONE (CLAUSE 6.12)

UNMARKETABLE PARCELS

1. First notice

If at any time a member holds an Unmarketable Parcel (including shares or Stapled Securities held jointly with other members) ( “the Relevant Shares” ), the directors may give a notice ( “the First Notice” ) to that member stating that unless the member gives notice to the Company by a specified date (being not less than 45 days after the date of giving of the First Notice) requiring that the provisions of this Schedule are not to apply to the Relevant Shares, then the Relevant Shares are liable to be sold or disposed of under this Schedule but no First Notice may be given by the directors in relation to the Relevant Shares less than 12 calendar months after a previous First Notice given in relation to the Relevant Shares.

2.

Subsequent changes

Until the member gives a notice under Clause 6 of this Schedule, the provisions of this Schedule continue to apply to the Relevant Shares despite the fact that they have, after the giving of the First Notice, ceased to comprise an Unmarketable Parcel.

3. Power of directors to sell

Subject to the following provisions of this Schedule, where a member has been given a First Notice the directors may sell or otherwise dispose of ( “Divest” ) the Relevant Shares (together with all rights attaching to them including any dividends declared but unpaid).

4. Advertisement and second notice

Where the directors propose to Divest any Relevant Shares under this Schedule:

  • (a) the Company must publish in a newspaper circulating generally in the area in which the member holding the Relevant Shares has its address for the purposes of being given notices by the Company, a notice specifying:

  • (i) the intention to Divest the Relevant Shares;

  • (ii) the name of the relevant member; and

  • (iii) the number of the Relevant Shares; and

  • (b) the Company must give a notice of intention to Divest the Relevant Shares ( “the Second Notice” ) to the member advising the member that the Relevant Shares are liable to be Divested under this Schedule on a day which is not less than 25 days after the date of giving of the Second Notice.

13312731.1

62

5. Notice to all joint holders

Where a First Notice or a Second Notice is given in respect of Relevant Shares which are held by members jointly, that notice must be given to each of those joint holders.

6. Member may require sale not to proceed

Each member to whom a First Notice or Second Notice has been given may, by notice in writing addressed to the secretary and delivered to the Company prior to the Relevant Shares being Divested, require the Company not to Divest the Relevant Shares, in which case the Relevant Shares may not be Divested unless a new First Notice is given to that member.

7. Jointly held shares

If a member who gives notice under Clause 6 of this Schedule is a joint holder of a parcel of Relevant Shares, that notice only prevents those Relevant Shares being Divested but does not prevent other Relevant Shares held by any of the joint holders of that parcel being Divested and any First Notice or Second Notice concerning those other Relevant Shares applies only to those other Relevant Shares.

8. Terms of sale

Any Relevant Shares to be Divested may be Divested on the terms and in the manner and at the time the directors determine (including by means of the Relevant Shares being bought back by the Company). For the purpose of the Relevant Shares being Divested:

  • (a) the member appoints the Company as its agent; and

  • (b) the member appoints the Company and each of the directors for the time being jointly and severally as its attorney in its name and on its behalf to execute any instrument of transfer or disposal of the Relevant Shares.

9. Costs of Sale

The Company must pay all costs and expenses in connection with the Divestiture of any Relevant Shares under this Schedule unless to do so would be to give financial assistance in a manner not permitted under the Corporations Act.

10. Validity of sale

The transferee of any Relevant Shares Divested under this Schedule is not required to see to the regularity of the Divestiture or the application of the purchase money. After the transferee's name has been entered in the register in respect of the Relevant Shares, the validity of the Divestiture to the transferee may not be impeached by any person and the remedy of any person aggrieved by the Divestiture is in damages only and against the Company exclusively.

11. Receipt of proceeds

Where the Company receives any consideration as a result of the Divestiture of any

13312731.1

63

Relevant Shares, the Company's receipt is a good discharge to the transferee of those Relevant Shares and any person claiming through that transferee.

12. Title of transferee

The title of the transferee to any Relevant Shares Divested under this Schedule is not affected by any irregularity or invalidity in connection with the Divestiture of the Relevant Shares to the transferee.

13.

Application of proceeds

The proceeds of Divestiture of Relevant Shares under this Schedule (following deduction of any unpaid calls and interest and expenses) ( “the Sale Consideration” ) must be dealt with as follows:

  • (a) the Sale Consideration must be paid into a separate bank account opened and maintained by the Company for that purpose only;

  • (b) the Sale Consideration must be held in trust for the member whose Relevant Shares were Divested;

  • (c) the Company must, immediately following the receipt of the Sale Consideration, notify the member in writing that the Sale Consideration in respect of the Relevant Shares has been received by the Company and is being held by the Company pending instructions from the member as to how it is to be dealt with;

  • (d) the Company must deal with the Sale Consideration as instructed by the member on whose behalf it is held, provided that the member accompanies that instruction with the certificate for the Relevant Shares (unless the Relevant Shares are uncertificated securities under the Listing Rules) or, if any such certificate has been lost or destroyed, by a statement and undertaking pursuant to section 1070D(5) of the Corporations Act;

  • (e) any interest earned on the Sale Consideration is for the benefit of the Company; and

  • (f) where the Sale Consideration has been held in trust for more than 2 years, the Company may deal with the money according to any applicable legislation concerning unclaimed moneys.

14. Evidence

Where a certificate in writing under the hand of any director or the secretary states that:

  • (a) any notice required to be served by or on the Company was or was not served, as the case may be;

  • (b) any advertisement required to be published was published; or

  • (c) any resolution of the directors required to be made was made,

13312731.1

64

that certificate is conclusive evidence of the facts stated in it as against all persons claiming to be entitled to any Relevant Shares affected by that certificate and of the right and title of the Company to Divest the same.

15. Cancellation of certificates

Except where the Relevant Shares are uncertificated securities, the Company must cancel the share certificates for all Relevant Shares Divested.

16.

Takeovers

The Company may not proceed with the Divestiture of any Relevant Shares where a takeover bid has been announced but the Divestiture of those Relevant Shares may be recommenced, without serving new notices or repeating any actions previously taken, after the end of the bid period in respect of the takeover bid.

  • (i) both of the following applies:

(A) the issue, together with any Related Issue, in the previous year does not, immediately before the issue, comprise more than 15% of the Units in that class;

13334208.1

9

  • (B) the amount by which the issue price of the Stapled Securities of which the Units form a component part is less than the Current Market Value of Stapled Securities does not exceed 10% of the Current Market Value; or

(ii) all of the following apply:

  • (A) Unit Holders who hold Stapled Securities of which the Units form a component part approve the issue by a Placement Resolution;

  • (B) unless the Responsible Entity reasonably considers that the issue will not adversely affect the interests of members in another class – members in that other class approve the issue by a Placement Resolution;

In this Clause 5.5(c) :

Placement Resolution : in relation to the approval of an issue of Units, a special resolution where both of the following apply:

  • (a) votes are only cast in respect of Units (the eligible Units ):

5.6 Satisfaction of Issue Price

The Issue Price may be satisfied in such manner as the Responsible Entity determines including by payment of cash or by transfer to the Responsible Entity (or other persons nominated by the Responsible Entity or as agreed between the Responsible Entity and the applicant) of investments acceptable to the Responsible Entity, or any other methods as determined by the Responsible Entity. Any expenses incurred in respect of a transfer of investments must be paid by the Unit Holder.

5.7

Apportionment of Issue Price

Subject to the terms of any Relief, where:

  • (a) a Unit forms part of a Stapled Security and, as a consequence, a Unit is to be issued as part of a Stapled Security; and

  • (b) pursuant to this Deed (including Clause 7 ), the Issue Price of the Unit, when aggregated with the issue price of the Attached Securities, is the Current Market Value or the Relevant VWAP (as the case may be) as at the relevant date,

the Issue Price of the Unit will be determined as follows:

13334208.1

10

  • (c) the Stapled Entities will determine what part of the amount payable for the issue of a Stapled Security is to represent the issue prices of the Unit and each Attached Security, respectively;

  • (d) unless otherwise determined by the Stapled Entities, the allocation is to be done on the basis of the relative fair value of each component of the Stapled Security as at immediately prior to the issue of the Stapled Security; and

  • (e) if the Stapled Entities are unable to reach agreement within a reasonable time then the allocation must be determined by a chartered accountant of not less than ten years’ standing appointed by agreement between them or, failing agreement, by the President for the time being of the Institute of Chartered Accounts in Australia. The independent accountant must determine the allocation based on fair value as determined by the accountant having regard to the respective net tangible asset backing of each of the component securities immediately before the issue and anything else the accountant considers relevant. The independent accountant will act as an expert not as an arbitrator and the decision is final and binding on the parties. The costs of the resolution of the dispute must be borne in accordance with the determination of the independent accountant.

  • (a) Subject to the Corporations Act and the conditions of any Relief, the Responsible Entity may hold and be issued Units in the Trust.

  • (b) The Issue Price for Units issued to the Responsible Entity may be satisfied, in addition to the manner specified in Clause 5.6 and without limitation, by a waiver or abatement of the fees the Responsible Entity is entitled to receive pursuant to Clause 19.1 or by the provision of services by the Responsible Entity to the Trust for the balance (or part of the balance) of the term of the Trust

  • (c) Where the Issue Price of Units issued to the Responsible Entity is satisfied by a waiver or abatement of the fees of the Responsible Entity or otherwise in accordance with paragraph (b), the Responsible Entity will amend this Deed (if necessary) to reflect the reduction in fees payable to the Responsible Entity.

5.9 Different classes of Units

The Responsible Entity may issue Units with special rights or restrictions and those rights and restrictions will prevail over any inconsistent provisions of this Deed.

5.10 Capital Reallocation

  • (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Deed, the Responsible Entity may at any time issue Units ( Capital Reallocation Units ) in either of the following circumstances:

  • (i) to the holders of Stapled Securities if a Stapled Entity (or, where the Stapled Entity is a trust, the trustee of that Stapled Entity) makes an application for Capital Reallocation Units as agent for the holders of Stapled Securities and applies a distribution paid out of that Stapled Entity towards the Issue Price for those Capital Reallocation Units; or

  • (ii) to any Stapled Entity if the Responsible Entity is satisfied that immediately following the issue of such Capital Reallocation Units, those Capital Reallocation Units will be distributed pro rata to the holders of Stapled Securities,

so long as immediately following the issue of Capital Reallocation Units referred to in paragraph (i) above or the in-specie distribution referred to in paragraph (ii) above,

13334208.1

11

the Responsible Entity immediately consolidates the Capital Reallocation Units with all other Units then on issue in the Trust such that the total number of Units on issue after the consolidation is equal to the total number of Units on issue immediately prior to the issue of Capital Reallocation Units.

  • (b) The Unit resulting from the consolidation of a Unit ( Original Unit ) with a Capital Reallocation Unit pursuant to Clause 5.10(a) will be taken for all purposes to be stapled to the same Attached Security as that to which the Original Unit was stapled.

5.11 Application of capital reduction to capitalise Stapled Entity

The Responsible Entity may reduce the capital of the Trust and may, as agent for and in the name of each Unit Holder, apply the amount of the reduction that the Unit Holder is otherwise entitled to, to the purchase of Securities in any other Stapled Entity pro rata in proportion to the number of Securities held by the Unit Holder in that Stapled Entity.

  • (a) The Responsible Entity may, subject to this Clause 6 , the Corporations Act and, if the Units are Officially Quoted, the Listing Rules, cause the Stapling of any Security to any Unit and may cause the Stapling of further Securities to the Stapled Securities whether those Securities are a different class of Securities of a Stapled Entity from those Stapled at the time or Securities of an entity that is not a Stapled Entity.

  • (b) Any Stapling referred to in Clause 6.1(a) takes effect from the Stapling Date.

6.2 Stapling Resolution

Without limiting Clauses 6.3 to 6.6 , if the Stapling Resolution is passed by Unit Holders by the requisite majorities set out in the EM and all conditions to that resolution are satisfied, Clauses 6.3 to 6.6 will take effect in respect of the Storage Fund Stapling Proposal.

6.3 Power to implement Stapling Proposal and limitation of liability

  • (a) Subject to the Corporations Act, and if the Units are Officially Quoted, the Listing Rules, the Responsible Entity has power to do all things which it considers are necessary, desirable or reasonably incidental to effect a Stapling Proposal and such powers apply notwithstanding, and are not limited by, any provision of this Deed.

6.4 Appointment of Responsible Entity as agent and attorney

  • (a) The Responsible Entity is irrevocably appointed as the agent and attorney of each Unit Holder to execute all documents and do all things which it reasonably considers are necessary or desirable to be executed or done on behalf of the Unit Holder, including, without limitation:

6.6

Paramountcy

  • (a) Subject only to the Corporations Act, and if the Units are Officially Quoted, the Listing Rules, this Clause 6 has effect notwithstanding any other provision of this Deed and any provision of this Deed which is inconsistent with this Clause 6 does not operate to the extent of any inconsistency.

  • (b) If there is an inconsistency between any provision of this Deed relating to Stapling (including this Clause 6 ) and any other provision, then the provision relating to Stapling prevails to the extent of the inconsistency, except where this would result in a breach of the Listing Rules, ASX Settlement Rules, the Corporations Act or any other law. The provision relating to Stapling prevails in this way, even if the other provisions are expressed to apply notwithstanding any other provisions in this Deed.

6.7

Operation of Stapling provisions

Clauses 6.8 to 6.15 apply only, and for so long as, a Unit is a component of a Stapled Security.

6.10 Transfers of Stapled Securities

13334208.1

14

  • (a) A transfer of a Unit forming part of a Stapled Security will only be accepted as a proper transfer in registrable form if, in addition to the requirements of Clause 14 the transfer relates to or is accompanied by a transfer of the Corresponding Number of each Attached Security from the same transferor in favour of the same transferee.

SCHEDULE 1

UNMARKETABLE PARCELS

1. First notice

If at any time a Unit Holder holds an Unmarketable Parcel (including Units or Stapled Securities held jointly with other Unit Holders) ( the Relevant Units ), the Responsible Entity may give a notice ( the First Notice ) to that Unit Holder stating that unless the Unit Holder gives notice to the Responsible Entity by a specified date (being not less than 45 days after the date of giving of the First Notice) requiring that the provisions of this Schedule are not to apply to the Relevant Units, then the Relevant Units are liable to be sold or disposed of under this Schedule but no First Notice may be given by the Responsible Entity in relation to the Relevant Units less than 12 calendar months after a previous First Notice given in relation to the Relevant Units.

2. Subsequent changes

Until the Unit Holder gives a notice under Clause 6 of this Schedule, the provisions of this Schedule continue to apply to the Relevant Units despite the fact that they have, after the giving of the First Notice, ceased to comprise an Unmarketable Parcel.

3. Power of Responsible Entity to sell

Subject to the following provisions of this Schedule, where a Unit Holder has been given a First Notice the Responsible Entity may sell or otherwise dispose of ( Divest ) the Relevant Units (together with all rights attaching to them including any dividends declared but unpaid).

4. Advertisement and second notice

  • (iii) the number of the Relevant Units; and

Where a First Notice or a Second Notice is given in respect of Relevant Units which are held by Unit Holders jointly, that notice must be given to each of those joint holders.

6. Unit Holder may require sale not to proceed

Each Unit Holder to whom a First Notice or Second Notice has been given may, by notice in writing addressed to the secretary and delivered to the Responsible Entity prior to the Relevant Units being Divested, require the Responsible Entity not to Divest the Relevant Units, in which case the Relevant Units may not be Divested unless a new First Notice is given to that Unit Holder.

13334208.1

36

7. Jointly held Units

If a Unit Holder who gives notice under Clause 6 of this Schedule is a joint holder of a parcel of Relevant Units, that notice only prevents those Relevant Units being Divested but does not prevent other Relevant Units held by any of the joint holders of that parcel being Divested and any First Notice or Second Notice concerning those other Relevant Units applies only to those other Relevant Units.

8. Terms of sale

Any Relevant Units to be Divested may be Divested on the terms and in the manner and at the time the Responsible Entity determines (including by means of the Relevant Units being bought back by the Responsible Entity) provided that the Responsible Entity should use best endeavours to Divest the Relevant Units for market price. For the purpose of the Relevant Units being Divested:

  • (a) the Unit Holder appoints the Responsible Entity as its agent; and

  • (b) the Unit Holder appoints the Responsible Entity and each of its directors for the time being jointly and severally as its attorney in its name and on its behalf to execute any instrument of transfer or disposal of the Relevant Units.

The Responsible Entity must pay all costs and expenses in connection with the Divestiture of any Relevant Units under this Schedule to the extent permitted under the Corporations Act.

10. Validity of sale

The transferee of any Relevant Units Divested under this Schedule is not required to see to the regularity of the Divestiture or the application of the purchase money. After the transferee's name has been entered in the register in respect of the Relevant Units, the validity of the Divestiture to the transferee may not be impeached by any person and the remedy of any person aggrieved by the Divestiture is in damages only and against the Responsible Entity exclusively, subject to this Deed.

11. Receipt of proceeds

Where the Responsible Entity receives any consideration as a result of the Divestiture of any Relevant Units, the Responsible Entity's receipt is a good discharge to the transferee of those Relevant Units and any person claiming through that transferee.

12. Title of transferee

The title of the transferee to any Relevant Units Divested under this Schedule is not affected by any irregularity or invalidity in connection with the Divestiture of the Relevant Units to the transferee.

13. Application of proceeds

The proceeds of Divestiture of Relevant Units under this Schedule (following deduction of any unpaid calls and interest and expenses) ( the Sale Consideration ) must be dealt with as follows:

  • (a) the Sale Consideration must be paid into a separate bank account opened and maintained by the Responsible Entity for that purpose only;

  • (d) the Responsible Entity must deal with the Sale Consideration as instructed by the Unit Holder on whose behalf it is held, provided that the Unit Holder accompanies that instruction with the certificate for the Relevant Units (unless the Relevant Units are uncertificated securities under the Listing Rules) or, if any such certificate has been lost or destroyed, by a statement and undertaking pursuant to section 1070D(5) of the Corporations Act;

  • (e) any interest earned on the Sale Consideration is for the benefit of the Responsible Entity; and

  • (f) where the Sale Consideration has been held in trust for more than 2 years, the Responsible Entity may deal with the money according to any applicable legislation concerning unclaimed moneys.

14. Evidence

Where a certificate in writing under the hand of any director or the secretary states that:

  • (a) any notice required to be served by or on the Responsible Entity was or was not served, as the case may be;

  • (b) any advertisement required to be published was published; or

  • (c) any resolution of the Responsible Entity required to be made was made,

that certificate is conclusive evidence of the facts stated in it as against all persons claiming to be entitled to any Relevant Units affected by that certificate and of the right and title of the Responsible Entity to Divest the same.

15. Cancellation of certificates

Except where the Relevant Units are uncertificated securities, the Responsible Entity must cancel the Unit certificates for all Relevant Units Divested.

16. Takeovers

The Responsible Entity may not proceed with the Divestiture of any Relevant Units where a takeover bid has been announced but the Divestiture of those Relevant Units may be recommenced, without serving new notices or repeating any actions previously taken, after the end of the bid period in respect of the takeover bid.

Related Issue : in relation to an issue of Units, an issue of Units in the same class at a price set by the Responsible Entity, which has not been approved or ratified by Unit Holders in accordance with Clause 5.5(c)(ii) or issued in accordance with other provisions of this Deed.

5.6 Satisfaction of Issue Price

The Issue Price may be satisfied in such manner as the Responsible Entity determines including by payment of cash or by transfer to the Responsible Entity of investments acceptable to the Responsible Entity, or by a combination of these methods. Any expenses incurred in respect of a transfer of investments must be paid by the Unit Holder.

5.7 Apportionment of Issue Price

Subject to the terms of any Relief, where:

  • (a) a Unit forms part of a Stapled Security and, as a consequence, a Unit is to be issued as part of a Stapled Security; and

  • (b) pursuant to this Deed (including Clause 7 ), the Issue Price of the Unit, when aggregated with the issue price of the Attached Securities, is the Current Market Value or the Relevant VWAP (as the case may be) as at the relevant date,

the Issue Price of the Unit will be determined as follows:

  • (c) the Stapled Entities will determine what part of the amount payable for the issue of a Stapled Security is to represent the issue prices of the Unit and each Attached Security, respectively;

  • (d) unless otherwise determined by the Stapled Entities, the allocation is to be done on the basis of the relative fair value of each component of the Stapled Security as at immediately prior to the issue of the Stapled Security; and

  • (e) if the Stapled Entities are unable to reach agreement within a reasonable time then the allocation must be determined by a chartered accountant of not less than ten years’ standing appointed by agreement between them or, failing agreement, by the President for the time being of the Institute of Chartered Accounts in Australia. The independent accountant must determine the allocation based on fair value as determined by the accountant having regard to the respective net tangible asset backing of each of the component securities immediately before the issue and anything else the accountant considers relevant. The independent accountant will

13334277.1

act as an expert not as an arbitrator and the decision is final and binding on the parties. The costs of the resolution of the dispute must be borne in accordance with the determination of the independent accountant.

5.8 Issue of Units to the Responsible Entity

  • (a) Subject to the Corporations Act and the conditions of any Relief, the Responsible Entity may hold and be issued Units in the Trust.

  • (b) The Issue Price for Units issued to the Responsible Entity may be satisfied, in addition to the manner specified in Clause 5.6 and without limitation, by a waiver or abatement of the fees the Responsible Entity is entitled to receive pursuant to Clause 19.1 or by the provision of services by the Responsible Entity to the Trust for the balance (or part of the balance) of the term of the Trust.

  • (c) Where the Issue Price of Units issued to the Responsible Entity is satisfied by a waiver or abatement of the fees of the Responsible Entity or otherwise in accordance with paragraph (b), the Responsible Entity will amend this Deed (if necessary) to reflect the reduction in fees payable to the Responsible Entity.

5.9 Different classes of Units

The Responsible Entity may issue Units with special rights or restrictions and those rights and restrictions will prevail over any inconsistent provisions of this Deed.

5.10 Capital Reallocation

  • (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Deed, the Responsible Entity may at any time issue Units ( Capital Reallocation Units ) in either of the following circumstances:

  • (i) to the holders of Stapled Securities if a Stapled Entity (or, where the Stapled Entity is a trust, the trustee of that Stapled Entity) makes an application for Capital Reallocation Units as agent for the holders of Stapled Securities and applies a distribution paid out of that Stapled Entity towards the Issue Price for those Capital Reallocation Units; or

  • (ii) to any Stapled Entity if the Responsible Entity is satisfied that immediately following the issue of such Capital Reallocation Units, those Capital Reallocation Units will be distributed pro rata to the holders of Stapled Securities,

so long as immediately following the issue of Capital Reallocation Units referred to in paragraph (i) above or the in-specie distribution referred to in paragraph (ii) above, the Responsible Entity immediately consolidates the Capital Reallocation Units with all other Units then on issue in the Trust such that the total number of Units on issue after the consolidation is equal to the total number of Units on issue immediately prior to the issue of Capital Reallocation Units.

  • (b) The Unit resulting from the consolidation of a Unit ( Original Unit ) with a Capital Reallocation Unit pursuant to Clause 5.10(a) will be taken for all

13334277.1

purposes to be stapled to the same Attached Security as that to which the Original Unit was stapled.

  • (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Deed, the Responsible Entity may at any time upon receipt of funds from or on behalf of the members of a Stapled Entity provided to the Responsible Entity for the purpose, apply those funds in paying up Units which are a component of a Stapled Security on a pro rata basis as if those Units were Partly Paid Units and the amount applied to each Unit was payment in full of an instalment of the Issue Price which was then due and payable.

5.11 Application of capital reduction to capitalise Stapled Entity

The Responsible Entity may reduce the capital of the Trust and may, as agent for and in the name of each Unit Holder, apply the amount of the reduction that the Unit Holder is otherwise entitled to to the purchase of Securities in any other Stapled Entity pro rata in proportion to the number of Securities held by the Unit Holder in that Stapled Entity. 6. STAPLING OF UNITS

6.1 Stapling authorisation and power to Staple Securities

  • (a) The Responsible Entity may, subject to this Clause 6 , the Corporations Act and, if the Units are Officially Quoted, the Listing Rules, cause the Stapling of any Security to any Unit and may cause the Stapling of further Securities to the Stapled Securities whether those Securities are a different class of Securities of a Stapled Entity from those Stapled at the time or Securities of an entity that is not a Stapled Entity.

  • (b) Any Stapling referred to in Clause 6.1(a) takes effect from the Stapling Date.

6.2 Stapling Resolution

Without limiting Clauses 6.3 to 6.6 , if the Stapling Resolution is passed by Unit Holders by the requisite majorities set out in the EM and all conditions to that resolution are satisfied, Clauses 6.3 to 6.6 will take effect in respect of the Storage Fund Stapling Proposal.

6.3 Power to implement Stapling Proposal and limitation of liability

  • (a) Subject to the Corporations Act, and if the Units are Officially Quoted, the Listing Rules, the Responsible Entity has power to do all things which it considers are necessary, desirable or reasonably incidental to effect a Stapling Proposal and such powers apply notwithstanding, and are not limited by, any provision of this Deed.

  • (b) The Responsible Entity will not have any liability of any nature to Unit Holders (which exceeds the extent to which it is actually indemnified out of the assets of the Trust Fund) arising, directly or indirectly, from the Responsible Entity doing or refraining from doing any act (including the execution of a document), pursuant to or in connection with the proper implementation of the Stapling Proposal.

6.4 Appointment of Responsible Entity as agent and attorney

13334277.1

  • (a) The Responsible Entity is irrevocably appointed as the agent and attorney of each Unit Holder to execute all documents and do all things which it reasonably considers are necessary or desirable to be executed or done on behalf of the Unit Holder, including, without limitation:

  • (i) taking all necessary action to compulsorily transfer all Stapled Securities held by each Excluded Foreign Unitholder including without limitation, in the manner contemplated by, and at the times set out in the EM;

6.5 Interested dealings by the Responsible Entity

Subject to the Corporations Act, the Responsible Entity or an officer, employee or associate of the Responsible Entity may do the things described in Clauses 6.3 and 6.4 even if it has an interest in the outcome.

6.6

Paramountcy

  • (a) Subject only to the Corporations Act, and if the Units are Officially Quoted, the Listing Rules, this Clause 6 has effect notwithstanding any other provision of this Deed and any provision of this Deed which is inconsistent with this Clause 6 does not operate to the extent of any inconsistency.

  • (b) If there is an inconsistency between any provision of this Deed relating to Stapling (including this Clause 6 ) and any other provision, then the provision relating to Stapling prevails to the extent of the inconsistency, except where this would result in a breach of the Listing Rules, ASX Settlement Rules, the Corporations Act or any other law. The provision relating to Stapling prevails in this way, even if the other provisions are expressed to apply notwithstanding any other provisions in this Deed.

6.7 Operation of Stapling provisions

Clauses 6.8 to 6.15 apply only, and for so long as, a Unit is a component of a Stapled Security.

6.8 Units to be Stapled

  • (d) If the Responsible Entity determines to Unstaple the Stapled Securities pursuant to this Clause 6.9 , this does not prevent the Responsible Entity from subsequently determining that the Stapling provisions should recommence.

6.10 Transfers of Stapled Securities

  • (a) A transfer of a Unit forming part of a Stapled Security will only be accepted as a proper transfer in registrable form if, in addition to the requirements of Clause 14 the transfer relates to or is accompanied by a transfer of the Corresponding Number of each Attached Security from the same transferor in favour of the same transferee.

  • (b) A transfer of a Unit which is not accompanied by a transfer of the Corresponding Number of each Attached Security will be taken to authorise the Responsible Entity as agent for the transferor to effect a transfer of the Corresponding Number of each Attached Security from the same transferor to the same transferee.

8.5 Non-receipt of notice of call

The non-receipt of a notice required to be given in respect of any call, or the accidental omission to give such a notice of a call, to any Unit Holder shall not invalidate the call.

8.7 Forfeiture of Units

If a call is not paid on or before the day appointed for the payment, the Responsible Entity may in its discretion at any time thereafter before the payment of the amount of the call, interest accrued thereon and the costs and expenses incurred by the Responsible Entity by reason of non-payment, cause the Units in respect of which any such amount is payable, to be forfeited with effect from a date determined by the Responsible Entity.

SCHEDULE 1

UNMARKETABLE PARCELS

1. First notice

If at any time a Unit Holder holds an Unmarketable Parcel (including Units or Stapled Securities held jointly with other Unit Holders) ( the Relevant Units ), the Responsible Entity may give a notice ( the First Notice ) to that Unit Holder stating that unless the Unit Holder gives notice to the Responsible Entity by a specified date (being not less than 45 days after the date of giving of the First Notice) requiring that the provisions of this Schedule are not to apply to the Relevant Units, then the Relevant Units are liable to be sold or disposed of under this Schedule but no First Notice may be given by the Responsible Entity in relation to the Relevant Units less than 12 calendar months after a previous First Notice given in relation to the Relevant Units.

2. Subsequent changes

Until the Unit Holder gives a notice under Clause 6 of this Schedule, the provisions of this Schedule continue to apply to the Relevant Units despite the fact that they have, after the giving of the First Notice, ceased to comprise an Unmarketable Parcel.

3. Power of Responsible Entity to sell

Subject to the following provisions of this Schedule, where a Unit Holder has been given a First Notice the Responsible Entity may sell or otherwise dispose of ( Divest ) the Relevant Units (together with all rights attaching to them including any dividends declared but unpaid).

4. Advertisement and second notice

Where the Responsible Entity propose to Divest any Relevant Units under this Schedule:

  • (a) the Responsible Entity must publish in a newspaper circulating generally in the area in which the Unit Holder holding the Relevant Units has its address for the purposes of being given notices by the Responsible Entity, a notice specifying:

  • (i) the intention to Divest the Relevant Units;

  • (ii) the name of the relevant Unit Holder; and

  • (iii) the number of the Relevant Units; and

  • (b) the Responsible Entity must give a notice of intention to Divest the Relevant Units ( the Second Notice ) to the Unit Holder advising the Unit Holder that the Relevant Units are liable to be Divested under this Schedule on a day which is not less than 25 days after the date of giving of the Second Notice.

5. Notice to all joint holders

13334277.1

Where a First Notice or a Second Notice is given in respect of Relevant Units which are held by Unit Holders jointly, that notice must be given to each of those joint holders.

6.

Unit Holder may require sale not to proceed

Each Unit Holder to whom a First Notice or Second Notice has been given may, by notice in writing addressed to the secretary and delivered to the Responsible Entity prior to the Relevant Units being Divested, require the Responsible Entity not to Divest the Relevant Units, in which case the Relevant Units may not be Divested unless a new First Notice is given to that Unit Holder.

7.

Jointly held Units

If a Unit Holder who gives notice under Clause 6 of this Schedule is a joint holder of a parcel of Relevant Units, that notice only prevents those Relevant Units being Divested but does not prevent other Relevant Units held by any of the joint holders of that parcel being Divested and any First Notice or Second Notice concerning those other Relevant Units applies only to those other Relevant Units.

8.

Terms of sale

Any Relevant Units to be Divested may be Divested on the terms and in the manner and at the time the Responsible Entity determines (including by means of the Relevant Units being bought back by the Responsible Entity) provided that the Responsible Entity should use best endeavours to Divest the Relevant Units for market price. For the purpose of the Relevant Units being Divested:

  • (a) the Unit Holder appoints the Responsible Entity as its agent; and

  • (b) the Unit Holder appoints the Responsible Entity and each of its directors for the time being jointly and severally as its attorney in its name and on its behalf to execute any instrument of transfer or disposal of the Relevant Units.

Costs of Sale

The Responsible Entity must pay all costs and expenses in connection with the Divestiture of any Relevant Units under this Schedule to the extent permitted under the Corporations Act.

10.

Validity of sale

The transferee of any Relevant Units Divested under this Schedule is not required to see to the regularity of the Divestiture or the application of the purchase money. After the transferee's name has been entered in the register in respect of the Relevant Units, the validity of the Divestiture to the transferee may not be impeached by any person and the remedy of any person aggrieved by the Divestiture is in damages only and against the Responsible Entity exclusively, subject to this Deed.

11.

Receipt of proceeds

Where the Responsible Entity receives any consideration as a result of the Divestiture of any Relevant Units, the Responsible Entity's receipt is a good

discharge to the transferee of those Relevant Units and any person claiming through that transferee.

12. Title of transferee

The title of the transferee to any Relevant Units Divested under this Schedule is not affected by any irregularity or invalidity in connection with the Divestiture of the Relevant Units to the transferee.

13. Application of proceeds

The proceeds of Divestiture of Relevant Units under this Schedule (following deduction of any unpaid calls and interest and expenses) ( the Sale Consideration ) must be dealt with as follows:

  • (b) the Sale Consideration must be held in trust for the Unit Holder whose Relevant Units were Divested;

  • (c) the Responsible Entity must, immediately following the receipt of the Sale Consideration, notify the Unit Holder in writing that the Sale Consideration in respect of the Relevant Units has been received by the Responsible Entity and is being held by the Responsible Entity pending instructions from the Unit Holder as to how it is to be dealt with;

  • (d) the Responsible Entity must deal with the Sale Consideration as instructed by the Unit Holder on whose behalf it is held, provided that the Unit Holder accompanies that instruction with the certificate for the Relevant Units (unless the Relevant Units are uncertificated securities under the Listing Rules) or, if any such certificate has been lost or destroyed, by a statement and undertaking pursuant to section 1070D(5) of the Corporations Act;

  • (e) any interest earned on the Sale Consideration is for the benefit of the Responsible Entity; and

  • (f) where the Sale Consideration has been held in trust for more than 2 years, the Responsible Entity may deal with the money according to any applicable legislation concerning unclaimed moneys.

14. Evidence

  • (a) any notice required to be served by or on the Responsible Entity was or was not served, as the case may be;

  • (b) any advertisement required to be published was published; or

  • (c) any resolution of the Responsible Entity required to be made was made,

13334277.1

that certificate is conclusive evidence of the facts stated in it as against all persons claiming to be entitled to any Relevant Units affected by that certificate and of the right and title of the Responsible Entity to Divest the same.

15. Cancellation of certificates

Except where the Relevant Units are uncertificated securities, the Responsible Entity must cancel the Unit certificates for all Relevant Units Divested.

16. Takeovers
