  • (1) 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 12, 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;

  • (2) 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; and

  • (3) a transfer of any Attached Security to which a Unit is Stapled (other than a transfer of the Attached Security to the Responsible Entity as trustee of the Trust) which is not accompanied by a transfer of the Unit will be taken to authorise the Responsible Entity as agent for the transferor to effect a transfer of the Unit and any other Attached Securities to which the Share is Stapled to the same transferee.

  • (b) Each Unitholder irrevocably appoints the Responsible Entity as its agent and attorney for the purposes of taking all necessary action (including executing necessary documentation) to effect on a date to be determined by the Responsible Entity the transfer to the Responsible Entity (as trustee of the Trust) or to a person nominated by the Responsible Entity of any Attached Security which was Stapled to a Forfeited Unit which has been cancelled or sold.

19.7 Stapled Security Register

The Responsible Entity must cause to be set up and maintained a Stapled Security Register which:

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

  • (b) records the names of the Unitholders, the number of Units held, the number of Attached Securities held by the Unitholders to which each Unitholder's Units are Stapled and any additional information required by the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules (if applicable) or determined from time to time by the Responsible Entity.

19.8 Variation of Stapling provisions

Prior to the Unstapling Date, the consent of each other Stapled Entity must be obtained to any amendment to this deed which:

Freehills Sydney\005417860

Printed 31 October 2011 (18:30)

page 51

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

  • (b) removes any restriction on the transfer of a Stapled Unit unless that restriction also exists for all other Attached Securities and is simultaneously removed for all Attached Securities.

19.9 Restricted issue of Units of different class

Whilst there is a similar restriction on the issue of Attached Securities of any new class pursuant to the terms of the constitutions of the Stapled Entities without the consent of the holders of Attached Securities, notwithstanding any other provision of this deed, the Responsible Entity must not issue any Units which are of a different class from any Units already issued without an ordinary resolution being passed at a meeting of Unitholders to that effect.

19.10 Duties while Stapled

Despite any provision of this deed or the constitutions of the Stapled Entities, or any rule of law (but subject to the Corporations Act) while the Units and the Attached Securities are Stapled, in exercising any power or discretion, the Responsible Entity may have regard to the interests of the holders of Stapled Securities as a whole and not only to the interests of the holders of the Units and relevant Attached Securities considered separately.

19.11 Stapling provisions paramount

Subject to clauses 1.4 and 1.5, this clause 19 has effect notwithstanding any other clause of this deed and any clause of this deed which is inconsistent with it does not operate to the extent of any inconsistency.

Freehills Sydney\005417860

Printed 31 October 2011 (18:30)

page 54

not affected by any irregularity by the Responsible Entity or the broker or any agent in relation to the sale. A sale of the Units and its Attached Securities by the Responsible Entity is valid even if a transmission event occurs to the Holder before the sale.

  • (d) The only remedy of a person who suffers a loss because of a sale of Units and any Attached Securities by the Responsible Entity is a claim for damages against the Responsible Entity.

  • (c) The Issue Price of such Stapled Securities is to be an amount equal to:

RV – (Exchange Discount x RV).

2 Adjustments following de-stapling

If one or more of the Units comprising the Stapled Securities is de-stapled, then the DEXUS RENTS Trustee will make all calculations in relation to payment and Exchange and any other adjustment as the DEXUS RENTS Trustee reasonably considers appropriate or necessary to maintain the appropriate relativity.

3 Adjustments for a Change of Control Event

If an Exchange results from a Realisation Notice given as a result of the occurrence of a Change of Control Event, the denominator in the formula in clause 1 will be 98% of the offer price under the takeover bid or the consideration under the scheme or, in the case of non-cash consideration, the value thereof as reasonably determined by an independent expert appointed by the DEXUS RENTS Trustee.

For the purposes of calculating VWAP, if, on some or all of the Business Days in the relevant period, Stapled Securities have been quoted on ASX as cum dividend, or cum any other distribution or entitlement, but Stapled Securities will be issued under this deed ex such dividend, other distribution or entitlement, then the VWAP on the Business Days on which those Stapled Securities have been quoted cum dividend, other distribution or entitlement shall be reduced by an amount equal to:

price for such entitlement sold on ASX during the relevant period on the Business Days on which those entitlements were traded; or

  • (c) in the case of an entitlement not traded on ASX during the relevant period, the value of the entitlement as reasonably determined by the Trustee.

Where a specified period is stated in relation to the determination of VWAP and on any of the Business Days during that period Stapled Securities were subject to a trading halt or suspended, the period shall be extended by the number of Business Days on which the Stapled Securities were not able to be traded or were suspended.

1 Implementation of Stapling

1.1 Implementation of Stapling

At any time on and from the Effective Date, the Responsible Entity may do all things and execute all documents which it considers:

  • (a) necessary or desirable to give effect to the Stapling; or

  • (b) otherwise reasonably incidental to the implementation of the Stapling.

1.2 Express powers of Responsible Entity

Without limiting paragraph 1.1 but subject to paragraph 1.3 and despite any other provision in this deed, the Responsible Entity is empowered and authorised to take the following actions at any time on and from the Effective Date:

  • (a) Split : On the Issue Date, the Responsible Entity must consolidate the Units so that each Unit becomes 0.9317613987 Units (each such postconsolidation Unit, referred to as a Restructured Unit ). Any resultant fraction on aggregating the Restructured Units in any Unitholder’s Unit Holding will be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number. This paragraph 1.2(a) shall apply, in the case of Units which are acquired by the Sale Bank under the Sale Facility, as if the Units acquired from each Sale Facility Participant were treated as a separate Unit Holding.

  • (b) Capital distribution : Immediately following the unit split under paragraph 1.2(a), the Responsible Entity must pay to each Unitholder, by way of a capital distribution, $0.362 per Restructured Unit held.

  • (c) Application of capital distribution : The Responsible Entity must apply the capital distribution paid to a Unitholder under paragraph 1.2(b) to acquire, on behalf of and in the name of that Unitholder:

  • (1) the Equivalent Number of Restructured DIT Units on the basis that the issue price for each Restructured DIT Unit will be $0.16 per Restructured DIT Unit;

  • (2) the Equivalent Number of DDF Units on the basis that the issue price for each DDF Unit will be $0.20 per DDF Unit; and

  • (3) the Equivalent Number of DXO Units on the basis that the issue price for each DXO Unit will be $0.002 per DXO Unit.

  • (d) Holding : the Responsible Entity must issue to:

  • (1) each DIT Holder one Restructured Unit in respect of each $0.20 paid by or on behalf of that DIT Holder in subscription for Restructured Units as contemplated in the Stapling; and

Freehills Sydney\005417875

Printed 31 October 2011 (18:28)

page 67

  • (2) each DDF Holder one Restructured Unit in respect of each $0.20 paid by or on behalf of that DDF Holder in subscription for Restructured Units as contemplated in the Stapling,

with such new Restructured Units to rank pari passu with all of the existing Restructured Units.

  • (e) Stapling: The Responsible Entity must cause the Stapling of each Restructured Unit on Issue on the Issue Date after completion of the actions described in paragraphs 1.2(a) to (d) inclusive to one Restructured DIT Unit, one DDF Unit and one DXO Unit.

  • (f) Holding Statements : The Responsible Entity must:

  • (1) issue new holding statements or other evidence of entitlement in respect of Restructured Units of which each Unitholder is the registered holder after the Issue Date; or

  • (2) issue, or cooperate in the issuing of, a single holding statement reflecting the Unitholder’s holding of Stapled Securities after the Issue Date.

  • (g) Issue of DAL Units: The Responsible Entity must issue the DAL Units to be issued in the Trust as required by the Share Sale Agreement and cause the Stapling of each DAL Unit to the DAL Units issued in the other Stapled Trusts.

1.3 Sale Facility

  • (a) Immediately prior to the unit consolidation referred to in paragraph 1.2(a), the Responsible Entity must transfer the Units held by any Sale Facility Participant (or such number of a Sale Facility Participant’s Units as are to be the subject of the Sale Facility) to the Sale Bank.

  • (b) The Responsible Entity must procure that:

  • (1) the Sale Bank participates in the unit consolidation under paragraph 1.2(a) and receives the capital distribution payable under paragraph 1.2(b) in respect of all Units transferred to it under paragraph 1.3(a);

  • (2) the capital distribution referred to in paragraph 1.3(b)(1) is applied in accordance with paragraph 1.2(c) to acquire the New Units which would otherwise have been issued to each Sale Facility Participant; and

  • (3) the Sale Bank provides to each Sale Facility Participant the Sale Consideration to which it is entitled.

1.4 Appointment as agent for Unitholders

  • (a) At all times on and after the Effective Date, the Responsible Entity is irrevocably appointed the agent for each Unitholder to do all things which the Responsible Entity considers:

  • (1) necessary or desirable to give effect to the Stapling; or

  • (2) reasonably incidental to implementation of the Stapling,

Printed 31 October 2011 (18:28)

page 68

including, without limitation to:

  • (3) receive and apply the capital distributions referred to in paragraph 1.2(b) in the manner contemplated in paragraph 1.2(c);

  • (4) (if necessary) execute an application form (which may be a master application form) to subscribe for the New Units on behalf of each Unitholder (other than a Sale Facility Participant or the Sale Bank);

  • (5) procure that the actions described in paragraph 1.3 occur; and

  • (6) execute transfers of Units which are to be the subject of the Sale Facility.

  • (b) The Responsible Entity is authorised to execute all documents and do all things under paragraphs 1.2 to 1.4 without needing further authority or approval from Unitholders and may do so even if it has an interest in the outcome of such exercise of its powers.

  • (c) The Responsible Entity may appoint any person or persons of its choosing to execute any such documents or do any such things.

1.5 Responsible Entity’s limitation of liability

Without derogating from any limitation of the Responsible Entity’s liability under this deed, the Responsible Entity has no liability to Unitholders of any nature whatsoever beyond the Fund whether arising, directly or indirectly, from the Responsible Entity doing or refraining from doing any act (including the execution of any document) in exercising its powers under this Schedule 4 in connection with the implementation of the Stapling in accordance with its terms.

Schedule 5 - Issue of Stapled Securities on exchange of RENTS

1 Issue of Stapled Securities

  • (a) Subject to the adjustments in clauses 1(b), 2 and 3 of this schedule 5, for the purposes of determining the number of Stapled Securities to be issued in accordance with the Exchange Process for each RENTS, the number is to be calculated in accordance with the following formula:

R Number of Stapled Securities = RV - (Exchange Discount x RV)

Where:

R means the aggregate of the Realisation Amount and the Unpaid Distribution Amount (less, for the avoidance of doubt, any Deduction);

RV means the VWAP (expressed as a dollar value) calculated in respect of the period of 20 Business Days immediately preceding, but not including, the Realisation Date.

  • (b) If the total number of Stapled Securities to be issued, as calculated in accordance with clause 1(a), includes a fraction, that fraction will be disregarded.

  • (c) The Issue Price of such Stapled Securities is to be an amount equal to:

RV – (Exchange Discount x RV).

2 Adjustments following de-stapling

If one or more of the Units comprising the Stapled Securities is de-stapled, then the DEXUS RENTS Trustee will make all calculations in relation to payment and Exchange and any other adjustment as the DEXUS RENTS Trustee reasonably considers appropriate or necessary to maintain the appropriate relativity.

3 Adjustments for a Change of Control Event

If an Exchange results from a Realisation Notice given as a result of the occurrence of a Change of Control Event, the denominator in the formula in clause 1 will be 98% of the offer price under the takeover bid or the consideration under the scheme or, in the case of non-cash consideration, the value thereof as reasonably determined by an independent expert appointed by the DEXUS RENTS Trustee.

  • (2) 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; and

  • (3) a transfer of any Attached Security to which a Unit is Stapled (other than a transfer of the Attached Security to the Responsible Entity as trustee of the Trust) which is not accompanied by a transfer of the Unit will be taken to authorise the Responsible Entity as agent for the transferor to effect a transfer of the Unit and any other Attached Securities to which the Share is Stapled to the same transferee.

  • (b) Each Unitholder irrevocably appoints the Responsible Entity as its agent and attorney for the purposes of taking all necessary action (including executing necessary documentation) to effect on a date to be determined by the Responsible Entity the transfer to the Responsible Entity (as trustee of the Trust) or to a person nominated by the Responsible Entity of any Attached Security which was Stapled to a Forfeited Unit which has been cancelled or sold.

Printed 31 October 2011 (18:28)

page 51

Schedule 4 – DIT Stapling Schedule

1 Implementation of Stapling

1.1 Implementation of Stapling

At any time on and from the Effective Date, the Responsible Entity may do all things and execute all documents which it considers:

  • (a) necessary or desirable to give effect to the Stapling; or

  • (b) otherwise reasonably incidental to the implementation of the Stapling.

1.2 Express powers of Responsible Entity

Without limiting paragraph 1.1 but subject to paragraph 1.3 and despite any other provision in this deed, the Responsible Entity is empowered and authorised to take the following actions at any time on and from the Effective Date:

  • (a) Split : On the Issue Date, the Responsible Entity must split the Units so that each Unit becomes 1.5110759679 Units (each such post-split Unit, referred to as a Restructured Unit ). Any resultant fraction on aggregating the Restructured Units in any Unitholder’s Unit Holding will be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number. This paragraph 1.2(a) shall apply, in the case of Units which are acquired by the Sale Bank under the Sale Facility, as if the Units acquired from each Sale Facility Participant were treated as a separate Unit Holding.

  • (b) Capital distribution : Immediately following the unit split under paragraph 1.2(a), the Responsible Entity must pay to each Unitholder, by way of a capital distribution, $0.402 per Restructured Unit held.

  • (c) Application of capital distribution : The Responsible Entity must apply the capital distribution paid to a Unitholder under paragraph 1.2(b) to acquire, on behalf of and in the name of that Unitholder:

  • (1) the Equivalent Number of Restructured DOT Units on the basis that the issue price for each Restructured DOT Unit will be $0.20 per Restructured DOT Unit;

  • (2) the Equivalent Number of DDF Units on the basis that the issue price for each DDF Unit will be $0.20 per DDF Unit; and

  • (3) the Equivalent Number of DXO Units on the basis that the issue price for each DXO Unit will be $0.002 per DXO Unit.

  • (d) Holding : the Responsible Entity must issue to:

  • (1) each DOT Holder one Restructured Unit in respect of each $0.16 paid by or on behalf of that DOT Holder in subscription for Restructured Units as contemplated in the Stapling; and

Freehills Sydney\005417791

Printed 31 October 2011 (18:28)

page 67

  • (2) each DDF Holder one Restructured Unit in respect of each $0.16 paid by or on behalf of that DDF Holder in subscription for Restructured Units as contemplated in the Stapling,

with such new Restructured Units to rank pari passu with all of the existing Restructured Units.

  • (e) Stapling: The Responsible Entity must cause the Stapling of each Restructured Unit on Issue on the Issue Date after completion of the actions described in paragraphs 1.2(a) to (d) inclusive to one Restructured DOT Unit, one DDF Unit and one DXO Unit.

  • (f) Holding Statements : The Responsible Entity must:

  • (1) issue new holding statements or other evidence of entitlement in respect of Restructured Units of which each Unitholder is the registered holder after the Issue Date; or

  • (2) issue, or cooperate in the issuing of, a single holding statement reflecting the Unitholder’s holding of Stapled Securities after the Issue Date.

  • (g) Issue of DAL Units: The Responsible Entity must issue the DAL Units to be issued in the Trust as required by the Share Sale Agreement and cause the Stapling of each DAL Unit to the DAL Units issued in the other Stapled Trusts.

1.3 Sale Facility

  • (a) Immediately prior to the unit split referred to in paragraph 1.2(a), the Responsible Entity must transfer the Units held by any Sale Facility Participant (or such number of a Sale Facility Participant’s Units as are to be the subject of the Sale Facility) to the Sale Bank.

  • (b) The Responsible Entity must procure that:

  • (1) the Sale Bank participates in the unit split under paragraph 1.2(a) and receives the capital distribution payable under paragraph 1.2(b) in respect of all Units transferred to it under paragraph 1.3(a);

  • (2) the capital distribution referred to in paragraph 1.3(b)(1) is applied in accordance with paragraph 1.2(c) to acquire the New Units which would otherwise have been issued to each Sale Facility Participant; and

  • (3) the Sale Bank provides to each Sale Facility Participant the Sale Consideration to which it is entitled.

1.4 Appointment as agent for Unitholders

  • (a) At all times on and after the Effective Date, the Responsible Entity is irrevocably appointed the agent for each Unitholder to do all things which the Responsible Entity considers:

  • (1) necessary or desirable to give effect to the Stapling; or

  • (2) reasonably incidental to implementation of the Stapling,

Freehills Sydney\005417791

Printed 31 October 2011 (18:28)

page 68

including, without limitation to:

  • (3) receive and apply the capital distributions referred to in paragraph 1.2(b) in the manner contemplated in paragraph 1.2(c);

  • (4) (if necessary) execute an application form (which may be a master application form) to subscribe for the New Units on behalf of each Unitholder (other than a Sale Facility Participant or the Sale Bank);

  • (5) procure that the actions described in paragraph 1.3 occur; and

  • (6) execute transfers of Units which are to be the subject of the Sale Facility.

  • (b) The Responsible Entity is authorised to execute all documents and do all things under paragraphs 1.2 to 1.4 without needing further authority or approval from Unitholders and may do so even if it has an interest in the outcome of such exercise of its powers.

  • (c) The Responsible Entity may appoint any person or persons of its choosing to execute any such documents or do any such things.

1.5 Responsible Entity’s limitation of liability

Without derogating from any limitation of the Responsible Entity’s liability under this deed, the Responsible Entity has no liability to Unitholders of any nature whatsoever beyond the Fund whether arising, directly or indirectly, from the Responsible Entity doing or refraining from doing any act (including the execution of any document) in exercising its powers under this Schedule 4 in connection with the implementation of the Stapling in accordance with its terms.

For the purposes of calculating VWAP, if, on some or all of the Business Days in the relevant period, Stapled Securities have been quoted on ASX as cum dividend, or cum any other distribution or entitlement, but Stapled Securities will be issued under this deed ex such dividend, other distribution or entitlement, then the VWAP on the Business Days on which those Stapled Securities have been quoted cum dividend, other distribution or entitlement shall be reduced by an amount equal to:

price for such entitlement sold on ASX during the relevant period on the Business Days on which those entitlements were traded; or

Where a specified period is stated in relation to the determination of VWAP and on any of the Business Days during that period Stapled Securities were subject to a trading halt or suspended, the period shall be extended by the number of Business Days on which the Stapled Securities were not able to be traded or were suspended.

  • (a) The Responsible Entity may sell Units (and any Attached Securities) under clause 20 or 21 as soon as practicable on market or in any other way the Responsible Entity so determines and at a price which the Responsible Entity considers to be reasonably obtainable for the Units (and any Attached Securities) at the time they are sold.

  • (1) first and only in respect of a sale of a New Small Holding under clause 21, the expenses of the sale;

  • (2) secondly, all amounts payable (whether presently or not) by the former holder to the Responsible Entity,

and any balance must be paid to the former holder on the former holder delivering to the Responsible Entity proof of title to the Units (and any Attached Securities) acceptable to the Responsible Entity.

Schedule 5 - Issue of Stapled Securities on exchange of RENTS

1 Issue of Stapled Securities

Subject to the adjustments in clauses 1(b), 2 and 3 of this schedule 5, for the purposes of determining the number of Stapled Securities to be issued in accordance with the Exchange Process for each RENTS, the number is to be calculated in accordance with the following formula:

Number of Stapled Securities =

R RV - (Exchange Discount x RV)

Where:

R means the aggregate of the Realisation Amount and the Unpaid Distribution Amount (less, for the avoidance of doubt, any Deduction);

RV means the VWAP (expressed as a dollar value) calculated in respect of the period of 20 Business Days immediately preceding, but not including, the Realisation Date.

  • (a) If the total number of Stapled Securities to be issued, as calculated in accordance with clause 1(a), includes a fraction, that fraction will be disregarded.

  • (b) The Issue Price of such Stapled Securities is to be an amount equal to:

RV – (Exchange Discount x RV).

2 Adjustments following de-stapling

If one or more of the Units comprising the Stapled Securities is de-stapled, then the DEXUS RENTS Trustee will make all calculations in relation to payment and Exchange and any other adjustment as the DEXUS RENTS Trustee reasonably considers appropriate or necessary to maintain the appropriate relativity.

3 Adjustments for a Change of Control Event

If an Exchange results from a Realisation Notice given as a result of the occurrence of a Change of Control Event, the denominator in the formula in clause 1 will be 98% of the offer price under the takeover bid or the consideration under the scheme or, in the case of non-cash consideration, the value thereof as reasonably determined by an independent expert appointed by the DEXUS RENTS Trustee.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if after a Change of Control Event relating to a scheme occurs, the scheme is not approved by holders of Stapled Securities, the Change of Control Event shall be deemed never to have occurred and in order to ensure that action is not taken prematurely the time period of 25 Business Days prior to the Realisation Date following the issue of the Realisation Notice (referred to in clause 4.5(b) of the RENTS Terms of Issue) shall be extended if necessary so that it expires on the date of such approval and any notices given as a result of such event will be revoked;

Where a specified period is stated in relation to the determination of VWAP and on any of the Business Days during that period Stapled Securities were subject to a trading halt or suspended, the period shall be extended by the number of Business Days on which the Stapled Securities were not able to be traded or were suspended.
