CONCESSIONAL INCENTIVE OPTION PLAN

AML3D LIMITED CONCESSIONAL INCENTIVE OPTION PLAN RULES

The Rules of the Employee Option Plan are set out in this document.

An offer of Options is made in an Offer Letter provided by the Company. This document should be read with that Offer Letter. In this document:

  • Rule 1 sets out how the Employee Option Plan is administered. Essentially the Board administers the Employee Option Plan and is responsible for the terms of any Offer made.

  • Rule 2 deals with the mechanics of vesting. An Option must vest before an Optionholder can exercise the Option (exercise of Options is addressed in Rule 5).

  • Rule 2.3(a) provides that Options must be exercised during the Exercise Period.

  • Rule 3 addresses what happens if an Optionholder leaves employment or ceases to be engaged by the Company.

  • Rule 4 addresses the restrictions that can be placed on the Disposal of Options.

  • Rules 6, 7 and 8 relate to a sale of the Company, a Listing or changes to the capital structure of the Company.

The remainder of the document contains procedural provisions in relation to the Employee Option Plan. Definitions are set out at the end of the document.

  • (i) the Optionholder (or any nominee or trustee to whom the Option Shares are to be issued ( Nominee Shareholder )) first executes and delivers to the Company a document (in the form prescribed by the Board) pursuant to which the Optionholder or Nominee Shareholder (as applicable) accedes to, and becomes bound by, the terms of the Shareholders Agreement; or

  • (ii) the Optionholder or Nominee Shareholder (as applicable) is already a party to the Shareholders Agreement.

  • (b) If at the time of exercise of an Option the Company does not have a Shareholders Agreement in place, an Optionholder agrees, by serving an Exercise Notice, to enter into (or procure that its Nominee Shareholder enters into) a Shareholders Agreement if the Company subsequently adopts one, provided that such Shareholders Agreement is broadly consistent with the provisions in this Employee Option Plan covering

AML3D Concessional Incentive Option Plan

Disposal and the procedures on an Exit Event. By serving an Exercise Notice on the Company, an Optionholder will be taken to have agreed to this requirement.

On or prior to an Exit Event, the Board may, in its absolute discretion:

  • (a) where there is a Reconstruction as part of the Exit Event:

  • (b) buy back or cancel some or all of the Options (whether vested or not) in exchange for their Fair Market Value; or

  • (c) take the following steps:

  • (i) notify an Optionholder of the number of Options that will vest as a result of the Exit Event occurring;

  • (ii) make appropriate arrangements to ensure that such Options and all other Outstanding Options are able to be exercised on or prior to the Exit Date; and

  • (iii) use reasonable endeavours to ensure that the Option Shares issued at or about the time of an Exit Event are accorded the same rights and receive the same benefits in relation to the Exit Event as pre-existing Ordinary Shares,

or take any combination of the above steps.

6.2 Company may require Options to be exercised or lapse if an Exit Event is to occur

If:

  • (a) the Company expects an Exit Event to occur; or

  • (b) an Exit Event not anticipated by the Company does occur,

then the Company may, by notice to all Optionholders, require that all Outstanding Options (including those Options vesting under Rule 6.1(c)) either be exercised:

7

AML3D Concessional Incentive Option Plan

  • (c) on or before the Exit Date pertaining to the relevant Exit Event; or

  • (d) in the case of an unanticipated Exit Event, a date after the Exit Date for that event,

or if they are not exercised to lapse on a date specified by the Board.

6.3 What happens if Majority Shareholders want to sell their shares?

  • (a) In connection with an Exit Event, on or prior to the Exit Event, the Board must if requested to do so by the Majority Shareholders ( Dragging Shareholders ) issue a notice ( Drag-along Notice ) to the Company and to each Eligible Persons and Optionholder (such Eligible Person and Optionholders each referred to as the Dragged Holder ) stating that they want the Dragged Holder to sell all of its Option Shares to:

  • (i) a third party buyer in connection with a Share Sale;

  • (iii) a New Holding Entity in connection with a Share Sale or Business Sale.

  • (c) A Drag-along Notice is irrevocable.

  • (d) If the Dragging Shareholders serve a Drag-along Notice, then subject to Rule 4.4, a Dragged Holder must as part of the sale of the Sale Shares to the Third Party Buyer, sell all of its Option Shares to the Third Party Buyer on terms which comply with Rules 6.3(f) and 6.3(g) and each Optionholder is deemed to appoint the directors of the Company as its attorney for this purpose (and for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the power of

8

AML3D Concessional Incentive Option Plan

attorney contained in an acceptance of offer signed by the Optionholder or their Eligible Person (as applicable) apply for the purposes of this Rule).

  • (e) If the Dragged Holder is prevented from Disposing of their Option Shares under Rule 4.4, then this Rule 6.3(a)-(h) (excluding this Rule 6.3(e)) will not apply to the Dragged Holder in respect of those Option Shares.

  • (f) The sale of the Dragged Holder’s Option Shares to the Third Party Buyer under this Rule 6.3(a)-(h) must be for the same sale price per Share as those applicable to the sale by the Dragging Shareholders of the Sale Shares to the Third Party Buyer.

  • (g) The Dragging Shareholders must procure that the purchase price payable for the Dragged Holder’s Option Shares is paid on the closing of the purchase and sale, which must take place at the same time as the closing of the sale of the Sale Shares by the Dragging Shareholders to the Third Party Buyer.

  • (h) Without limiting Rule 6.3(d), at least 7 days before the closing of the purchase and sale of the Dragged Holder’s Option Shares, the Dragged Holder must deliver to the Third Party Buyer:

  • (i) the share certificates and an executed transfer for the Dragged Holder’s Option Shares; and

9

AML3D Concessional Incentive Option Plan

discretion, which neither disadvantages nor advantages that Optionholder nor adversely effects the rights of the other holders of Shares, to account for the effect of the Reorganisation Event.

  • (c) Each Optionholder and Eligible Person agrees to any such variations to the Employee Option Plan.
