  • (i) the Awards only vest if at the applicable vesting date the Participant either:

    • (A) remains employed with a Company Group Member, continues to provide consulting services to a Company Group Member or acts as a director of a Company Group Member (as applicable); or

    • (B) ceased to do so before the applicable vesting date in circumstances where the person was a Good Leaver; and

18

AU_Active01 907442417v5 HOWEBM

  • (b) The terms of an Award which has a nil Exercise Price may provide for the Award to be exercised automatically upon vesting. Further, and whether or not the terms of the Award provide for it, the Board may in its discretion waive any requirement that an issued Award which has a nil Exercise Price be exercised by the Participant. In either case the Company will treat the Award as having been validly exercised on the Vesting Date.

7.4 Exercise of Awards

  • (a) A Participant is, subject to this clause 7, entitled to exercise an Award on or after the Vesting Date. Any exercise must be for a minimum number or multiple of Shares (if any) specified in the terms of the Offer.

Rights attaching to Shares

  • (a) The Shares issued under this Plan will upon allotment:

9.3 Takeovers and control transactions

  • (a) If a takeover bid is made to acquire all of the issued Shares of the Company, or a scheme of arrangement, selective capital reduction or other transaction is initiated which has an effect similar to a full takeover bid for Shares in the Company, then Participants are entitled to accept the takeover bid or participate in the other transaction in respect of all or part of their Awards other than Exempt Share Awards notwithstanding that the Restriction Period in respect of such Awards has not expired. The Board may, in its discretion, waive unsatisfied Vesting Conditions in relation to some or all Awards in the event of such a takeover or other transaction.

9.4 Personal representatives

  • (a) If a Participant dies before the end of the Restriction Period, then the legal personal representative of that deceased Participant will have the same rights and benefits and be subject to the same obligations in respect of those Shares as the deceased Participant would have had or been subject to had they survived until the end of the Restriction Period.

10. Hedging unvested Awards

  • (a) Participants must not enter into transactions or arrangements, including by way of derivatives or similar financial products, which limit the economic risk of holding unvested Awards.

  • (b) Without limiting clause 11, if a Participant is a member of the Company's key management personnel (as defined in the Corporations Act) then the

  • (v) the Participant was not, in fact, entitled to the benefit of clause 7.2(a)(i)(B); or

then the Board may determine that:

  • (vii) all or some of the Awards held by the Participant immediately expire and are incapable of being exercised; and/or

  • (viii) the Participant must, or must procure that any relevant third party, immediately on request by the Company transfers any or all Shares issued upon the exercise of the relevant Award on terms, determined by the Company (which may include transferring them for nil consideration), to:

  • (A) the Company in accordance with clause 12; or

  • (B) to a person, determined by the Board in its discretion; and/or

  • (ix) the Participant must pay the Company any:

  • (A) proceeds received from the sale of any Shares issued upon the exercise of the Awards; and

12. Share buy-back or transfer

12.1 When Shares are bought back or transferred

  • (a) Shares held by a Participant may be bought back and cancelled if:

  • (i) the Participant elects to transfer Loan Shares to the Company in satisfaction of any outstanding Acquisition Loan under clause 4.3(a)(ii);

  • (ii) an Acquisition Loan has become repayable and either the Participant does not repay the Acquisition Loan in accordance with clause 4.3(a)(i) on the repayment due date or any Vesting Conditions in respect of relevant Loan Shares have not been satisfied at the repayment due date;

  • (iii) any Vesting Conditions in respect of relevant Loan Shares have not been satisfied by the last date for their satisfaction (if applicable) or have otherwise failed to be satisfied; or

  • (iv) the circumstances set out in clause 4.3(a)(ii) arise and the Board in its discretion determines that Participant must, or must procure that any relevant third party must transfer any or all Shares issued upon the exercise of a relevant Award.

12.2 Buy-back price

  • (a) The consideration for a buy-back of Shares is:

  • (i) if the buy-back is in respect of Loan Shares, the full satisfaction of any Acquisition Loan provided in connection with the acquisition of those Loan Shares, even if the amount of Acquisition Loan was or has been reduced to nil; or

  • (ii) if the buy-back is in the circumstances set out in clause 11, nil.

12.3 How Shares are bought back

  • (a) A Participant and the Company must do whatever is necessary or desirable to effect a buy-back or transfer of Shares when required under clause 12. Each Participant irrevocably appoints the Company and each of its Directors and secretaries from time to time severally as its attorney to sign any document necessary or desirable, and carry out any act, on that Participant's behalf for the purposes of this clause 12.

  • (b) If the buy-back is in respect of Loan Shares where an Acquisition Loan is outstanding, payment of the amount by the Company under a buy-back of the Loan Share as provided in this clause 12 will be satisfied by being set off and applied against the amount of the Acquisition Loan outstanding in respect of the Loan Share bought back.

  • (c) If it is impractical to buy back Shares to which this clause 12 applies, or if the Board in its discretion otherwise determines, the Company may, instead of buying back the relevant Shares, direct that they be transferred to a person nominated by the Company. Any transfer under this clause 12.3(c) will

22

AU_Active01 907442417v5 HOWEBM

discharge the Participant's Acquisition Loan in the same way as a buy-back would have done if conducted under this clause 12.

13. Adjustments

13.1 This clause

  • (a) This clause 13 applies to Options, Performance Rights and other Awards where the Participant may be entitled to acquire Shares in the future on exercise of the Award.

13.2 New issues of shares

  • (a) A Participant is not entitled to participate in a new issue of Shares or other securities made by the Company to holders of its Shares without exercising the Awards, or unless the applicable Loan Shares or other Shares comprising the Award are on issue, before the record date for the relevant new issue.

13.3 Bonus issues

  • (a) If, prior to the exercise of an Award, the Company makes a pro-rata bonus issue to the holders of its Shares, and the Award is not exercised prior to the record date in respect of that bonus issue, the Award will, when exercised, entitle the holder to one Share plus the number of bonus shares which would have been issued to the holder if the Award had been exercised prior to the record date.

13.4 Other reorganisations of capital

  • (a) If, prior to the exercise of an Award, the Company undergoes a reorganisation of capital (other than by way of a bonus issue or issue for cash) the terms of the Awards of the Participant will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules as they apply at the relevant time.

13.5 General

  • (a) Unless otherwise permitted by the Listing Rules, the number of Shares which the Participant is entitled to receive on exercise of an Award will only be adjusted in accordance with this clause 13.

  • (b) The Company must give notice to Participants of any adjustment to the number of Shares which the Participant is entitled to receive on exercise of an Award in accordance with the Listing Rules.

14. Termination benefits

  • (a) This clause 14 applies to any benefit which may be required to be provided by any Company Group Member ( Benefit ). This clause 14 applies notwithstanding, and prevails over, any other provision of this Plan, an Offer, Award or other agreement or arrangement.

  • (b) No person will be entitled to any Benefit in connection with any person's cessation of employment to the extent that the giving of the Benefit would give rise to a breach of Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act, any other provision of the

23

AU_Active01 907442417v5 HOWEBM

Corporations Act, or any other applicable law which limits or restricts the giving of such Benefits ( Limiting Legislation ).

  • (c) If any Limiting Legislation limits the amount of the Benefit, or the amount of the Benefit that may be given without obtaining shareholder approval, the Benefit is capped at that amount and no further Benefit is required to be provided to the relevant person. The Company Group may reduce any Benefit in such manner as it determines appropriate to ensure compliance with Limiting Legislation and so that shareholder approval does not need to be obtained. No Company Group entity is required to seek or obtain the approval of its shareholders for the purpose of overcoming any limitation or restriction imposed by any Limiting Legislation.

15. Tax compliance

15.1 Taxes and withholding

  • (a) The Company is not responsible for any taxes which may become payable by a Participant in connection with the issue or transfer of Awards, the issue, transfer or allocation of Shares, or any other dealing by a Participant with such Awards or Shares including the payment of any cash amount. Participants are solely responsible for all such amounts.

  • (b) Where a Company Group entity, or a trustee appointed under these Rules, must account for any tax or social security contributions (in any jurisdiction) for which a Participant may be liable because of the issue or transfer of Shares, payment of cash, or the vesting or exercise of an Award (the Amount ), the entity or trustee may in its discretion:

  • (i) withhold up to the Amount from any cash payment; and/or

  • (ii) withhold a number of Shares which would otherwise be provided to the Participant and sell them in order to realise the Amount (with any excess received over the Amount net of costs of sale being paid to the Participant).

  • (iii) accept payment from the Participant of the relevant Amount; or

  • (iv) make acceptable arrangements with the Participant for the Amount to be made available.

15.2 Tax reporting

  • (a) Participants acknowledge that the Company may have reporting obligations in relation to participation in the Plan. Participants authorise the Company to provide information regarding their participation in the Plan, and any related personal or financial information, to any tax authority or other government agency (in any jurisdiction) to the extent required by law, or by the official policy of the tax authority or a government agency.

or take any combination of the above steps.

16.2 Company may require Awards to be exercised or lapse if an Exit Event is to occur

If the Company expects an Exit Event to occur, or an Exit Event not anticipated by the Company does occur, then the Company may, by notice to all Participant, require that all Awards (including those Awards vesting under rule 16.1(c)) either be exercised:

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

  • (b) 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.

17. Reconstruction Event

  • (a) Subject to this rule 17, this Plan continues to apply in full force and effect despite any Reconstruction Event.
