Should you wish to discuss the matters in this Notice of Meeting please do not hesitate to contact the Company Secretary on +61 08 9481 0389.

3. Resolutions 1(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) – Approval to Issue Incentive Options to Directors

3.1 General

Resolutions 1(a) to 1(e) seek the approval of Shareholders for the issue of a total of 11,000,000 Options to Directors ( Director Incentive Options ) comprising 3,000,000 Director Incentive Options to Mr C Daws and 2,000,000 Director Incentive Options to each of Mr Pereira, Mr Kingswood, Mr Hutchison and Mr Brockhurst ( Directors ) in accordance with section 208 of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11.

The Company proposes to issue the Director Incentive Options as follows:

7

Director Number Exercise Price Expiry Date
Christopher John Daws 3,000,000 $0.06 21 January 2025
Leslie Shayne Pereira 2,000,000 $0.06 21 January 2025
John Timothy Kingswood 2,000,000 $0.06 21 January 2025
Neil Armstrong Hutchison 2,000,000 $0.06 21 January 2025
Stephen Michael Brockhurst 2,000,000 $0.06 21 January 2025

The Director Incentive Options are being issued to incentivise and reward the Directors of the Company.

3.2 Section 195(4) of the Corporations Act

Each of the Directors have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 1(a) to 1(e) (as applicable to each Director) by virtue of the fact that Resolutions 1(a) to 1(e) are concerned with the issue of Director Incentive Options to Directors. Section 195 of the Corporations Act essentially provides that a director of a public company may not vote or be present during meetings of directors when matters in which that director holds a material personal interest are being considered. In the absence of Shareholder approval under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act, the Directors may not be able to form a quorum at Board meetings necessary to carry out the terms of these Resolutions. The Directors have accordingly exercised their right under section 195(4) of the Corporations act to put the issue to Shareholders to determine.

3.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act regulates the provision of financial benefits to related parties by a public company. Section 208 of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company giving a financial benefit to a related party of that public company unless one of a number of exceptions applies.

A “financial benefit” is defined in the Corporations Act in broad terms and includes the issue of securities. For the purpose of the General Meeting, a related party includes a director of the Company.

For the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, the Directors are related parties of the Company by virtue of the fact that they are Directors of the Company.

Section 208 of the Corporations Act provides that for a public company, or an entity that a public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related third party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company is seeking the approval of Shareholders for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act in respect of the Director Incentive Options proposed to be issued to the Directors.

8

3.4 ASX Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 1(a) to 1(e) are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with issuing 11,000,000 Director Incentive Options. This will occur within one (1) month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by an ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Incentive Options (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Director Incentive Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolutions 1(a) to 1(e) are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the 11,000,000 Director Incentive Options to the Directors and the Company may consider alternative forms of remuneration in lieu of such issue.

3.5

ASX Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:

  • (a) a related party;

  • (b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;

  • (c) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

  • (d) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or

  • (e) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

As the Directors participation by way of being issued the Director Incentive Options involves the issue of Options to Related Parties of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

3.6 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 1(a) to 1(e):

  • (a) the Director Incentive Options will be issued to each of the existing Directors of the Company being Mr. C. Daws, Mr. Pereira, Mr. Kingswood, Mr. Hutchison and Mr. Brockhurst (and/or their nominees);

  • (b) each of Mr. C. Daws, Mr. Pereira, Mr. Kingswood, Mr. Hutchison and Mr. Brockhurst fall within the category of Listing Rule 10.11.1 by virtue of being Directors of the Company;

  • (c) the total number of Director Incentive Options to be issued to the Directors is 11,000,000 Director Incentive Options comprising:

  • (d) a summary of the material terms of the Director Incentive Options is set out in Schedule 2;

  • (e) the Director Incentive Options will be granted to the Directors no later than one (1) month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Director Incentive Options will be allocated on one date;

  • (f) the Director Incentive Options will be issued for nil cash consideration and accordingly no funds will be raised;

10

  • (j) the Director Incentive Options are not being issued under any agreement;

  • (k) if the Director Incentive Options granted to the Directors are exercised, a total of 11,000,000 Shares would be allotted and issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 1,177,043,740 to 1,188,043,740 (assuming that no other Options are exercised and no other Shares are issued) with the effect that the shareholding of existing shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of 0.9%;

The market price of Shares during the term of the Director Incentive Options would normally determine whether or not the Director Incentive Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Director Incentive Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Director Incentive Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company;

  • (l) the trading history of the Shares on ASX in the twelve (12) months before the date of this Notice of General Meeting is set out below:
Price Date
Highest $0.086 2 June 2021
Lowest $0.019 20 December 2021
Last $0.033 9 February 2022
  • (m) if Messrs C Daws, Pereira, Kingswood, Hutchison and Brockhurst exercise all Director Incentive Options the subject of resolutions 1(a) to 1(e) and no other Shares were issued by the Company, they would hold 3.3%, 0.7%, 0.4%, 0.2% and 0.4% respectively of the issue capital of the Company, on an undiluted basis;

  • (n) in respect of Resolutions 1(a) to 1(e):

  • (i) the primary purpose of the grant of the Director Incentive Options is to reward the Directors and to provide cost effective consideration to the Directors for their ongoing commitment and contribution to the Company in their respective roles as Directors, whilst allowing the Company to maintain cash reserves for acquisitions and operations. In addition, the Board considers the grant of the Director Incentive Options to the Directors to be reasonable, given the necessity to attract high calibre professionals to the Company whilst maintaining the Company’s cash reserves;

  • (ii) the Board (other than in respect of the relevant Resolution that they have an interest in) considered the extensive experience and reputation of the relevant Director within the industry, the current market price of Shares and current market practices when determining the number and exercise price of the Director Incentive Options to be issued to the Directors. Relevantly, the exercise price of the Director Incentive Options is the price that is approximately two hundred per cent (200%) higher than the price of the Shares on ASX on the date when the consideration of the grant of the Director Incentive Options was decided by the Board; and

  • (iii) the Board does not consider there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company in issuing the Director Incentive Options to the Directors.

  • (o) each Director has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 1(a) to 1(e) on the basis that all the Directors (or their nominee/s) are to be issued Director Incentive Options. For this reason, the Directors do not believe that it is appropriate to make recommendations on Resolution 1(a) to 1(e) of this Notice;

11

  • (p) the Board is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass these Resolutions; and

  • (q) a voting exclusion statement is included for Resolutions 1(a) – 1(e) of this Notice.

Resolution 2 seeks the approval of Shareholders for the issue of 750,000 Options (exercisable at $0.06 and expiring on 21 January 2025) to Douglas Daws ( Consultant Incentive Options ).

Douglas Daws has been engaged by the Company as a consultant on an as needed, informal basis (not on a term based consultancy) to provide onsite management of the Project facilities and other service providers (being on ground at the Carr Boyd Project) to ESR as and when required by the Board. Douglas Daws has been directed by the Board to assist with the following services over the last 5 months:

  • (a) regular site access road inspections;

  • (b) key stakeholder engagements on behalf of the Company;

  • (c) sourcing contractor services and supplies;

  • (d) water pump installation; and

  • (e) assistance with the communications installation.

Douglas Daws has not received any remuneration or cash payments in respect of providing these services. Accordingly, the Board has agreed to remunerate Douglas Daws for his services provided by way of the issue of the Consultant Incentive Options under this Resolution 2.

The full terms and conditions of the Consultant Incentive Options are set out in Schedule 2 (being the same terms and conditions as the Options to be issued to the Directors pursuant to Resolutions 1(a) to 1(e)).

4.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

An overview of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is provided in Section 3.3 of this Notice.

The issue of the Consultant Incentive Options to the Douglas Daws constitutes giving a financial benefit and Douglas Daws is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a parent of Director, Christopher Daws.

The Directors (other than Christopher Daws) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Consultant Incentive Options to Douglas Daws because they are being issued on arm’s length terms and within the exception of section 210 of the Corporations Act, taking into account the services provided by Douglas Daws, the current market price of Shares, the current market practices when determining the number of incentive Options to be issued to consultants, as well as the valuation (as set out in Schedule 4) and the fact that the Consultant Incentive Options will be issued on the same terms as those options being issued to Company employees. Further, the non-cash form of benefit allows the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash

12

reserves on its operations than it would if alternative, cash forms of payment were given to Douglas Daws.

4.3 ASX Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with issuing 750,000 Consultant Incentive Options to Douglas Daws. This will occur within one (1) month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by an ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Consultant Incentive Options (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Consultant Incentive Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of 750,000 Consultant Incentive Options to Douglas Daws and the Company may consider alternative forms of remuneration in lieu of such issue.

An overview of ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is provided in Section 3.5 of this Notice.

As the issue of the Related Party Options to Douglas Daws involves the issue of equity securities to a related party, Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

4.5 ASX Listing Rule 10.13

13

reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given;

  • (ii) the number of Consultant Incentive Options to be issued to Douglas Daws is appropriate in light of the services provided, the current market price of Shares, the current market practices when determining the number of incentive Options to be issued to consultants, as well as the valuation; and

5. Resolution 3 – Adoption of Employee Securities Incentive Plan

5.1 Overview

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the adoption of the employee incentive scheme titled Employee Securities Incentive Plan ( Plan ) in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)).

The Company currently has in place an Employee Share Option Plan but wishes to adopt the new Plan to provide a range of Securities as incentives to employees.

The objective of the Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees and it is considered by the Company that the adoption of the Plan and the future issue of Securities under the Plan will provide selected employees with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.

A summary of the Employee Securities Incentive Plan is set out in Schedule 3.

The Employee Securities Incentive Plan will operate in accordance with ASIC class order CO 14/1000.

5.2 Regulatory Requirements

Shareholder approval is not required under the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules for the operation of the Plan. However, Shareholder approval is being sought to allow the Company to rely on an exception to the calculation of the Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A on the number of securities that may be issued without Shareholder Approval. Listing Rule 7.2 exception 13(b) provides that Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A do not apply to an issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme that has been approved by Shareholders, where the issue of securities is within 3 years from that date of Shareholder approval of the issue of securities under the employee incentive scheme.

14

The Plan participation is limited to Directors, contractors and employees of the Company. If an issue is to be made to Directors, then separate Shareholder approval will need to be obtained.

A summary of the key terms of the Plan is set out in Schedule 3. As this is a new Plan being put to Shareholders, no Securities have been issued under it to date. A maximum of 58,852,187 Securities would be available to be issued under the Plan if approved by Shareholders, determined as 5% of the ordinary shares on issue at 24 January 2022.

The passing of Resolution 3 will allow the Company to issue Securities for the benefit of participants of the Plan whilst preserving the Company’s placement limits for issuing securities and provide flexibility in the manner in which the Plan is managed.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company may still issue Securities to key personnel other than Directors on the terms as set out in Schedule 3, however those Securities will count towards the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

5.3 Voting Exclusion Statement

A Voting Exclusion applies to this Resolution.

5.4 Board recommendation

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3. The Chair intends to vote all undirected Proxies in favour of Resolution 3.

SCHEDULE 3 – Summary Terms of Employee Securities Incentive Plan

A summary of the terms of the Plan is set out below:

  • (a) ( Eligible Participant ): Eligible Participant means a person that:

  • (i) is an "eligible participant" (as that term is defined in ASIC Class Order 14/1000) in relation to the Company or an Associated Body Corporate (as that term is defined in ASIC Class Order 14/1000); and

  • (ii) has been determined by the Board to be eligible to participate in the Plan from time to time.

  • (b) ( Purpose ): The purpose of the Plan is to:

  • (i) assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible Participants;

  • (ii) link the reward of Eligible Participants to Shareholder value creation; and

  • (iii) align the interests of Eligible Participants with shareholders of the Group (being the Company and each of its Associated Bodies Corporate), by providing an opportunity to Eligible Participants to receive an equity interest in the Company in the form of Securities.

  • (c) ( Plan administration ): The Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board may exercise any power or discretion conferred on it by the Plan rules in its sole and absolute discretion. The Board may delegate its powers and discretion.

  • (d) ( Eligibility, invitation and application ): The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant may participate in the Plan and make an invitation to that Eligible Participant to apply for Securities on such terms and conditions as the Board decides.

On receipt of an Invitation, an Eligible Participant may apply for the Securities the subject of the invitation by sending a completed application form to the Company. The Board may accept an application from an Eligible Participant in whole or in part. If an Eligible Participant is permitted in the invitation, the Eligible Participant may, by notice in writing to the Board, nominate a party in whose favour the Eligible Participant wishes to renounce the invitation.

  • (e) ( Grant of Securities ): The Company will, to the extent that it has accepted a duly completed application, grant the Participant the relevant number of Securities, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the invitation, the Plan rules and any ancillary documentation required.

  • (f) ( Terms of Convertible Securities ): Each 'Convertible Security' represents a right to acquire one or more Shares (for example, under an option or performance right), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised a Participant does not have any interest (legal, equitable or otherwise) in any Share the subject of the Convertible Security by virtue of holding the Convertible Security. A Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, grant a security interest over or otherwise deal with a Convertible Security that has been granted to them. A Participant must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that has been granted to them.

  • (g) ( Vesting of Convertible Securities ): Any vesting conditions applicable to the grant of Convertible Securities will be described in the invitation. If all the vesting conditions are satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, a vesting notice will be sent to the Participant by the Company informing them that the relevant Convertible Securities have vested. Unless

21

and until the vesting notice is issued by the Company, the Convertible Securities will not be considered to have vested. For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions relevant to a Convertible Security are not satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, that Convertible Security will lapse.

  • (h) ( Exercise of Convertible Securities and cashless exercise ): To exercise an Convertible Security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise and, subject to a cashless exercise of Convertible Securities (see below), pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any time prior to the earlier of any date specified in the vesting notice and the expiry date as set out in the invitation.

An invitation may specify that at the time of exercise of the Convertible Securities, the Participant may elect not to be required to provide payment of the exercise price for the number of Convertible Securities specified in a notice of exercise, but that on exercise of those Convertible Securities the Company will transfer or issue to the Participant that number of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the Market Value of the Shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Convertible Securities.

Market Value means, at any given date, the volume weighted average price per Share traded on the ASX over the 5 trading days immediately preceding that given date, unless otherwise specified in an invitation.

A Convertible Security may not be exercised unless and until that Convertible Security has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or such earlier date as set out in the Plan rules.

  • (i) ( Delivery of Shares on exercise of Convertible Securities ): As soon as practicable after the valid exercise of a Convertible Security by a Participant, the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to that Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled under the Plan rules and issue a substitute certificate for any remaining unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Participant.

  • (j) ( Forfeiture of Convertible Securities ): Where a Participant who holds Convertible Securities ceases to be an Eligible Participant or becomes insolvent, all unvested Convertible Securities will automatically be forfeited by the Participant, unless the Board otherwise determines in its discretion to permit some or all of the Convertible Securities to vest.

Where the Board determines that a Participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, or wilfully breached his or her duties to the Group, the Board may in its discretion deem all unvested Convertible Securities held by that Participant to have been forfeited.

Unless the Board otherwise determines, or as otherwise set out in the Plan rules:

  • (i) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be forfeited immediately on the date that the Board determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) that any applicable vesting conditions have not been met or cannot be met by the relevant date; and

  • (ii) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be automatically forfeited on the expiry date specified in the invitation.

  • (k) ( Change of control ): If a change of control event occurs in relation to the Company, or the Board determines that such an event is likely to occur, the Board may in its discretion determine the manner in which any or all of the Participant's Convertible Securities will be dealt with, including, without limitation, in a manner that allows the Participant to participate in and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection with the change of control event.

22

  • (l) ( Rights attaching to Plan Shares ): All Shares issued under the Plan, or issued or transferred to a Participant upon the valid exercise of a Convertible Security, ( Plan Shares ) will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares of the same class. A Participant will be entitled to any dividends declared and distributed by the Company on the Plan Shares and may participate in any dividend reinvestment plan operated by the Company in respect of Plan Shares. A Participant may exercise any voting rights attaching to Plan Shares.

  • (m) ( Disposal restrictions on Plan Shares ): If the invitation provides that any Plan Shares are subject to any restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by a Participant for a period, the Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Participant with this restriction.

For so long as a Plan Share is subject to any disposal restrictions under the Plan, the Participant will not:

  • (i) transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or have a security interest granted over that Plan Share; or

  • (ii) take any action or permit another person to take any action to remove or circumvent the disposal restrictions without the express written consent of the Company.

  • (n) ( Adjustment of Convertible Securities ): If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company (including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction, return or cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the rights of each Participant holding Convertible Securities will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.

If Shares are issued by the Company by way of bonus issue (other than an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the holder of Convertible Securities is entitled, upon exercise of the Convertible Securities, to receive an allotment of as many additional Shares as would have been issued to the holder if the holder held Shares equal in number to the Shares in respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised.

Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a holder of Convertible Securities does not have the right to participate in a pro rata issue of Shares made by the Company or sell renounceable rights.

  • (o) ( Participation in new issues ): There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Convertible Securities and holders are not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares of the Company during the currency of the Convertible Securities without exercising the Convertible Securities.

  • (p) ( Trust ): The Board may, in its discretion, use an employee share trust or other mechanism for the purposes of holding Shares and Plan Shares (or other Securities) before or after the exercise of a Convertible Security or delivering any Plan Shares arising from exercise of a Convertible Security under these Rules on such terms and conditions as determined by the Board. For the avoidance of doubt, the Board may do all things necessary for the establishment, administration, operation and funding of an employee share trust.

  • (q) ( Compliance with Applicable Laws ): Notwithstanding the Plan rules or any terms of a Security, no Security may be offered, granted, vested or exercised, and no Share may be issued or transferred, if to do so would contravene any applicable laws. In particular, the Company must have reasonable grounds to believe, when making an Invitation, that the total number of Plan Shares that may be acquired upon exercise of the Convertible Securities offered, under an Invitation, when aggregated with the number of Shares issued or that may be issued as a result of offers made in reliance on ASIC Class Order 14/ 1000 at any time during the previous 3 year period under:

  • (i) an employee incentive scheme covered by ASIC Class Order 14/1000; or

23

(ii) an ASIC exempt arrangement of a similar kind to an employee incentive scheme,

but disregarding any offer made or securities issued in the capital of the Company by way of or as a result of:

  • (iii) an offer to a person situated at the time of receipt of the offer outside Australia;

  • (iv) an offer that did not need disclosure to investors because of section 708 of the Corporations Act (exempts the requirement for a disclosure document for the issue of securities in certain circumstances to investors who are deemed to have sufficient investment knowledge to make informed decisions, including professional investors, sophisticated investors and senior managers of the Company); or

  • (v) an offer made under a disclosure document,

would not exceed 5% (or such other maximum permitted under any Applicable Law) of the total number of Shares on issue at the date of the Invitation.

  • (r) ( Amendment of Plan ): Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend any provisions of the Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Securities have been granted under the Plan and determine that any amendments to the Plan rules be given retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect.

No amendment to any provision of the Plan rules may be made if the amendment materially reduces the rights of any Participant as they existed before the date of the amendment, other than an amendment introduced primarily for the purpose of complying with legislation or to correct manifest error or mistake, amongst other things, or is agreed to in writing by all Participants.

  • (s) ( Plan duration ): The Plan continues in operation until the Board decides to end it. The Board may from time to time suspend the operation of the Plan for a fixed period or indefinitely, and may end any suspension. If the Plan is terminated or suspended for any reason, that termination or suspension must not prejudice the accrued rights of the Participants.

If a Participant and the Company (acting by the Board) agree in writing that some or all of the Securities granted to that Participant are to be cancelled on a specified date or on the occurrence of a particular event, then those Securities may be cancelled in the manner agreed between the Company and the Participant.
