1 Appointment as prime broker

$1.1$ Appointment

The Customer in its capacity as trustee and manager of the Scheme appoints UBS as prime broker with the power to:

  • $(a)$ carry out the services referred to in clause 1.2;
  • $(b)$ perform the functions otherwise expressly or by implication given to UBS under this agreement; and
  • $(c)$ take any action which UBS reasonably determines is necessary or desirable in connection with the carrying out of the services and functions under this agreement.

$1.2$ Services

As prime broker UBS will provide the following services to the Customer:

  • $(a)$ borrowing and lending of securities;
  • $(b)$ the settlement of transactions that the Customer has entered into with a third party broker;
  • $(c)$ cash loans:
  • $(d)$ other services as agreed between the parties from time to time.

$1.3$ Variation of Services

UBS may vary from time to time the services it will provide to the Customer and the charges associated with those services by prior notice in writing.

$1.4$ Co-operation

The Customer agrees to ratify and to confirm or to do, or procure the doing of, anything necessary to complete UBS's actions under this agreement.

$1.5$ Single Agreement

All cash advances to the Customer and securities loans made under this agreement, and any UBS Transactions, are entered into in reliance on the fact that this agreement, the UBS Customer Agreement and any schedules or confirmations concerning those advances, securities loans and UBS Transactions form a single agreement between the parties (collectively referred to as "this agreement") and the parties would not otherwise enter into any of those transactions other than in accordance with this agreement. To the extent that there is an inconsistency between this Prime Brokerage Agreement and a UBS Customer Agreement, this Prime Brokerage Agreement prevails.

$\overline{2}$ Settlement of securities transactions

$2.1$ Settlement through execution brokers

UBS will settle Transactions as agent for the Customer with any executing broker, including UBS Securities. If UBS Securities, or any other Related Entity of UBS, is the executing broker, a separate agreement will set out the terms of the agreement between UBS Securities and the Customer with regard to the execution of Transactions.

$2.2$ Time for instructions

The Customer must give UBS instructions to settle a Transaction in accordance with clause 2.1 by 5pm (Sydney time) on the Business Day of the transaction.

$2.3$ Sell orders

$\mathcal{F}(\frac{1}{2})_{\mathcal{A}}$

Where the Customer gives a sell order to UBS, the Customer must designate the sell order as either long or short. A sell order that is not designated is deemed to be long. The designation of the sell order as long constitutes a certification that the securities to be sold are owned by the Customer. If such securities are not in UBS's possession, by placing such an order the Customer warrants that the Customer will deliver the securities to UBS on or before that date on which the sell order is to be settled. The Customer agrees to indemnify UBS for any costs, expenses or losses suffered or incurred by UBS as a result of the Customer's failure to deliver securities in accordance with this clause.

$2.4$ Securities transaction discrepancies and costs

The Customer is responsible for the resolution of discrepancies in relation to Transactions settled by UBS and is liable for all costs and Taxes as a result of, or in connection with, the Transaction.

$2.5$ Refusal

UBS may refuse to settle any Transaction for the Customer. UBS will notify the Customer of any such refusal giving reasons for such refusal. Unless agreed otherwise, UBS is only deemed to have agreed to settle a Transaction upon it actually settling that Transaction.

$2.6$ Best efforts

Subject to clause 2.5, UBS will use its best efforts to settle all Transactions.

$2.7$ No confirmation

UBS will not confirm securities transactions with the executing broker.

$2.8$ Liability of UBS

UBS shall not be responsible and is not liable for:

  • $(a)$ any loss on settlement of any Transaction:
  • $(b)$ any acts or omission of the executing broker or its employees or agents;
  • compliance with any regulatory requirement to report Transactions to $(c)$ the Stock Exchange or any other securities exchange or regulatory body or any other regulatory reporting or notification requirements in respect of any Transaction or any Assets; or
  • $(d)$ refusing to settle any Transaction or failing to promptly notify the Customer of refusing or failing to settle a Transaction.

$\overline{3}$ Advances

$3.1$ Cash advances

UBS may, in its sole discretion, make cash advances to the Customer at any time up to the Credit Limit.

$3.2$ Calls

UBS may call on demand any cash advance made in accordance with clause 3.1 and the advance is repayable in accordance with such demand.

$3.3$ Interest

Interest will accrue on all cash advances daily at the rate specified in the fee schedule provided to the Customer as updated by UBS from time to time and the Customer must pay such interest at the time and in the manner required by UBS.

$3.4$ Gross Up for Withholding tax

If a law requires the Customer to deduct an amount in respect of Taxes from a payment under this agreement such that UBS would not actually receive on the due date the full amount provided for under this agreement, then:

  • $(a)$ the Customer agrees to deduct the amount for the Taxes (and any further deduction applicable to any further payment due under paragraph (c) below); and
  • $(b)$ the Customer agrees to pay an amount equal to the amount deducted to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law and give the original receipts to UBS within 10 Business Days after the day on which the original receipts were issued; and
  • $(c)$ the amount payable is increased so that, after making the deduction and further deductions applicable to additional amounts payable under this clause. UBS will receive (at the time the payment is due)

the amount it would have received if no deductions had been required.

Use of cash advances $3.5$

The Customer may only use the proceeds of any cash advance for the purpose of Transactions. The Customer may not use a cash advance, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of making a takeover offer which when completed would result in the Customer or any person controlling the Customer or under the Customer's control acquiring control of any legal entity. The Customer may not publicise the making by UBS of a cash advance (except where required by law or regulation).

$\boldsymbol{4}$ Fees and charges

$4.1$ Fee schedule

UBS is entitled to receive fees and charges in accordance with the fee schedule provided to the Customer and updated by UBS from time to time.

$4.2$ Other amounts

Except as otherwise provided in this agreement, the Customer agrees to indemnify UBS against all Taxes and other costs and expenses (including, without limitation, commissions) that UBS incurs as a result of or in connection with the services it provides to the Customer under this agreement.

$4.3$ Authority

The Customer authorises UBS to deduct any amount due under this clause 4 from the Cash Account.

5 Margin

$5.1$ Margin Requirement

UBS may determine and vary at any time, in its discretion, the Margin Requirement from the Customer with respect to obligations of the Customer to UBS pursuant to this agreement and any UBS Customer Agreement, and the acceptable cash or assets or both to meet that demand.

$5.2$ Notice of Margin Requirement

UBS will give notice in writing to the Customer specifying:

  • $(a)$ the Outstanding Margin Requirement;
  • $(b)$ the types of cash and/or Assets which will be accepted by UBS as Margin; and
  • $(c)$ the Valuation Percentage.

UBS may not give notice unless the Outstanding Margin Requirement specified exceeds the minimum size of margin calls specified in schedule 4.

$5.3$ Time for payment

The Customer must meet any demand for Outstanding Margin Requirement by delivering Collateral:

  • $(a)$ in the case of cash – on the same Business Day as the demand for the Outstanding Margin Requirement if the demand is before or on the Notification Time or the next Business Day if the demand is made after the Notification Time: or
  • $(b)$ in the case of assets other than $\cosh -$ as agreed between the parties.

5.4 Late payment

If the Customer does not meet a demand for Outstanding Margin Requirement in accordance with the time specified in clause 5.3:

  • the Customer is liable to pay the Overdue Margin Interest Rate on the $(a)$ amount of the Outstanding Margin Requirement demand it has failed to meet; and
  • $(b)$ UBS may declare an Event of Default.

$5.5$ Excess

If the value of the Collateral held by UBS exceeds the Margin Requirement in respect of the Customer, UBS may repay the amount of that excess to the Customer when requested by the Customer in writing. Any such repayment shall be made subject to clause 6.3 and by close of business on the Business Day following such request.

5.6 Registration of charge

The Customer acknowledges that UBS may file or register details of the Security in appropriate jurisdictions. The Customer undertakes to do all things necessary to assist in the creation of an effective charge.

$5.7$ Encumbrances

The Customer warrants that all assets transferred to UBS as Collateral are free of any Encumbrances at the time such assets are transferred to UBS and will remain free from any Encumbrances while the Assets are held by UBS as Collateral.

6 Payments and Transfers

$6.1$ Cash

If the Customer is required to pay an amount of cash to UBS under this agreement, the Customer must pay such amount of cash into the bank account or accounts specified by UBS.

$6.2$ Assets

If the Customer is required to transfer assets to UBS under this agreement, the Customer must transfer or cause the Custodian (including by directing UBS to issue Proper Instructions) to transfer such assets in accordance with the market convention for assets of that type to UBS or such other person as specified by UBS.

$6.3$ Payments and transfers by UBS

Any obligation of UBS to pay or repay any amount of cash or deliver or redeliver any Asset to the Customer or the Custodian under this agreement is conditional on the Margin held by UBS after the payment or delivery exceeding the Margin Requirement in respect of the Customer.

$6.4$ Documents and instructions for transfer

For all deliveries under this agreement, the parties agree to execute and deliver all documents and give all instructions necessary for all right, title and interest in the securities or Collateral to be transferred.

$\overline{7}$ Custody

$7.1$ Appointment

The Customer must appoint UBS Nominees Pty Ltd or another person approved by UBS to be the custodian to hold the Custodial Assets.

$7.2$ Custodian Agreement

The custody agreement between the Customer and the Custodian must be in a form approved by UBS and allow for UBS to be appointed as the sole person authorised to give instructions to the Custodian in relation to the Custodial Assets while this agreement continues in effect or the Customer has any liabilities to UBS arising from this agreement.

$7.3$ Authority to UBS

The Customer must irrevocably appoint for the period referred to in clause 7.2 UBS as the sole person (to the exclusion of the Customer and its officers) authorised to give instructions on behalf of the Customer to the Custodian in relation to all dealings with the Custodial Assets.

7.4 Authorisation of UBS

The Customer authorises UBS to give instructions on behalf of the Customer to the Custodian in relation to all dealings with the Custodial Assets:

  • $(a)$ to do anything that this agreement contemplates (either expressly or by implication) will be done by UBS;
  • to do anything which, in the opinion of UBS, is incidental to, or $(b)$ necessary or desirable in connection with, any act referred to in paragraph (a) above; or

$(c)$ to do anything which UBS is directed to do by the Customer.

$7.5$ Withdrawal of Assets

In no circumstances is UBS obliged to issue instructions to the Custodian to transfer Custodial Assets if UBS has not consented to the release of the Custodial Assets from the Charge.

7.6 Encumbrances

The Customer warrants that all Custodial Assets which are transferred to or otherwise from time to time held by the Custodian are free of any Encumbrances and will remain free from any Encumbrances while the Assets are held by the Custodian except the Security and any lien routinely imposed on all securities in a relevant clearing system approved by UBS.

8 Securities loans

$8.1$ Request and acceptance

UBS will lend securities to the Customer, and the Customer will borrow securities from UBS, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the ASLA and with the Rules. If any of the terms of the ASLA are inconsistent with any of the terms of this agreement, this agreement prevails to the extent of the inconsistency.

8.2 Delivery of securities

UBS may, in its discretion, elect to:

  • $(a)$ satisfy a Borrowing Request in full;
  • satisfy a Borrowing Request in part; or $(b)$

9 Default

$9.1$ Events of Default

Each of the following is an Event of Default:

  • $(a)$ (non-payment or non-delivery) the Customer does not pay or deliver on time any amount payable or asset deliverable by it under this agreement; or
  • $(b)$ (cross default) any present or future monetary obligations of the Customer or any of its Subsidiaries for amounts totalling \$100,000 are not satisfied on time (or at the end of their period of grace) or become prematurely payable.

(In this clause $9.1(6)$ ), a "monetary obligation" means a monetary obligation in connection with:

  • $(i)$ money borrowed or raised; or
  • $(ii)$ any hiring arrangement, redeemable preference share, letter of credit or financial markets transaction (including a swap, option or futures contract); or
  • $(iii)$ a guarantee or indemnity in connection with money borrowed or raised); or
  • $(c)$ (enforcement against assets) distress is levied or a judgment, order or Encumbrance is enforced, or becomes enforceable, against any property of the Customer (whether in its capacity as trustee and manager or not) or any of its Subsidiaries; or
  • $(d)$ (incorrect representation or warranty) a representation or warranty made by or for the Customer in connection with this agreement is found to have been incorrect or misleading when made; or
  • (insolvency) the Customer or any of its Subsidiaries becomes $(e)$ Insolvent; or
  • (ceasing business) the Customer or any of its Subsidiaries stops $(f)$ payment, ceases to carry on its business or a material part of it, or threatens to do either of those things except to reconstruct or amalgamate while solvent on terms approved by UBS; or
  • $(g)$ (appointment of manager) a person is appointed under legislation to manage any part of the affairs of the Customer or any of its Subsidiaries; or
  • $(h)$ (Material Adverse Event) an event occurs which is or is likely to be (or a series of events occur which, together, are or are likely to be) a Material Adverse Event; or
  • $(i)$ (unable or intend not to perform) the Customer admits to UBS that it is unable or intends not to perform any of its obligations under this agreement; or
  • (non-compliance with other obligations) the Customer fails to $(i)$ perform when due any other obligation under this agreement and the failure is not remedied by the end of the Business Day following the Business Day on which written notice from UBS of the failure is effective: or

  • $(k)$ (event of default under Customer Agreements) a Customer Agreement is terminated due to an event of default (howsoever described) under a Customer Agreement; or

  • $(1)$ (breach of security) there is a breach of any of the terms of the Security; or
  • $(m)$ (voidable charge) the Security or a transaction in connection with it is or becomes (or is claimed to be) wholly or partly void, voidable or unenforceable or does not have (or is claimed not to have) the priority which UBS as the chargee intended it to have ("claimed" in this paragraph means claimed by the chargor in that Security or any of its Related Entities or anyone on behalf of any of them); or
  • $(n)$ (prejudice to right of indemnity) the Customer's right to an indemnity out of the assets of the Scheme is reduced or lost in any way or the Customer disclaims it's right of indemnity; or
  • $(o)$ (ceasing to be trustee and manager) the Customer does or participates in any act or enters into any agreement which might bring about its removal or retirement as trustee and manager of the Scheme or the trustee and manager ceases to be trustee and manager of the Scheme: or
  • $(p)$ (Scheme terminated) the Scheme is terminated, or a resolution that it be terminated is passed by the Customer or by other persons having the power to initiate the termination of the Scheme; or
  • $(q)$ (Statement breach) the Customer fails to deliver the statements set out in clause 14 in accordance with the times set out in Schedule 2; or
  • $(r)$ any event of default specified in Schedule 5.

Failure by the Customer to comply with any period for remedy notified by UBS will constitute an event of default under this clause.9.1.

$9.2$ Notification

The Customer must notify UBS immediately if an Event of Default occurs, or an event which with the passing of time, giving of notice, expiry of any applicable grace period or the making of any determination by UBS may constitute an Event of Default for the Customer.

9.3 Consequences of default

If an Event of Default occurs, UBS may by notice to the Customer:

  • $(a)$ terminate any cash advances made under clause 3;
  • $(b)$ terminate any loan of securities under clauses 8, 10.2, 10.5 and 10.6;
  • $(c)$ terminate (including by way of close out) any other transactions or positions entered into in connection with this agreement (including in connection with transactions entered into under UBS Customer Agreements) which have not been completed, or which are

outstanding (including the holding of Collateral, any hedging or other derivative transaction and any purchase or sale of securities which has not been completed).

No further payments or deliveries are then required in respect of those terminated items, except as provided for in clause 9.4.

Determination of amounts notionally payable on termination 9.4

If UBS gives a notice in accordance with clause 9.3, UBS is to calculate, in its discretion, the value (represented by an Australian dollar amount) of each item terminated under clause 9.3. Each value is to be represented by an amount either notionally payable to UBS by the Customer or notionally payable by UBS to the Customer. (The intention behind these calculations is to place a monetary value on every right and liability of the Customer existing in connection with transactions contemplated by this agreement (including those entered into UBS Customer Agreements) to enable calculation of a net amount owed to or by the Customer in connection with this agreement (including under UBS Customer Agreements)).

9.5 Calculating the amount payable on termination

The total of all amounts notionally payable by UBS is then to be subtracted from the total of all amounts notionally payable to UBS. (The total of all interest, costs, expenses and all other amounts payable to UBS by the Customer under this agreement is also to be included in the total of all amounts notionally payable to UBS). If the result is a positive number, then the Customer must pay that amount to UBS by close of business on the same Business Day that such notice is given. If the result is a negative number, then (subject to UBS's right to set off against that amount any other obligation of the Customer to UBS) UBS must pay the absolute value of that amount to the Customer. The Australian dollar equivalent amount of a foreign currency amount will be determined by converting the foreign currency amount at the rate at which UBS reasonably considers appropriate.

9.6 Liability for losses

The Customer is liable for any losses incurred by UBS as a result of an Event of Default. Interest accrues on any amount payable by the Customer under this clause 9.5 on a daily basis at the rate of the internal rate of funding for UBS plus 2% per annum.

$9.7$ Exercise of Security

If the Customer fails to pay any amount due to UBS in accordance with clause 9.4, UBS may, without the need to give further notice, exercise its rights under the Security including requiring delivery to it of all or any of the Custodial Assets and the sale of those Custodial Assets.

10 Client Money and Assets

$10.1$ Client money

Except as required by the Corporations Act or the Rules, cash held as Collateral is not subject to the protections conferred by any client money rules and, as a consequence, will not be segregated from UBS's own money and will be used by UBS in the course of its business. Cash so held will be owed by UBS on a debtor/creditor basis and not held by UBS as custodian upon trust for the Customer. The Customer will rank as one of UBS's general creditors in the event of UBS becoming Insolvent.

For the avoidance of doubt, cash held by UBS other than as collateral will be held in a separate account in the Clients name.

$10.2$ Custodial Assets

UBS may request the Custodian at any time to pay or deliver to UBS any of the Custodial Assets, provided that UBS may only request the Custodian to deliver to UBS Custodial Assets which are ASX listed securities if such delivery would not cause UBS to have a 'relevant interest' for the purposes of the Corporations Act 2001 (C'th) of greater than 18% in any ASX listed entity. Subject to clauses 10.3, 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6 the Customer agrees that any Custodial Assets which UBS requests the Custodian to pay or deliver to UBS, or any Collateral, may be used by UBS for UBS's own account (including to borrow, lend, charge, re-hypothecate, dispose of or otherwise use for its own purposes) and in respect of UBS's obligations (or those of other customers of UBS) and, as a consequence, those Assets are not held by UBS for the Customer or the Custodian. UBS will have a contractual obligation to return equivalent Custodial Assets to the Custodian in accordance with clause 10.6. The Customer and the Custodian will in relation to the obligation to return equivalent Custodial Assets rank as one of UBS's general creditors in the event of UBS becoming Insolvent. Subject to clause 4.2 of the ASLA, UBS may retain all fees, profits and other benefits received in connection with such activities.

$10.3$ Express Authorisation for Collateral

Without limiting UBS's right to request transfer of any of the Custodial Assets under clause 10.2, the Customer expressly authorises UBS in its discretion to:

  • $(a)$ identify any Collateral as being held as margin or security against a particular obligation of the Customer under this agreement or against an UBS Transaction;
  • $(b)$ subject to clauses 10.2 and 10.5, transfer any Custodial Assets to UBS expressly as Collateral for any obligations of the Customer under this agreement or an UBS Transaction; and
  • $(c)$ transfer the proceeds of a cash advance made to the Customer to any Related Entity to satisfy any margin or security requirement of a Related Entity in relation to a Transaction (provided that the Customer and UBS have previously agreed in writing that the Transaction is a Transaction to which this clause 10.3 applies).

$10.4$ No Derogation from Liability to provide Collateral

The authorisation of UBS set out in clause 10.3 does not derogate from the Customer's obligation to meet a demand for Outstanding Margin Requirement under clause 5.3 or any margin or security requirement owed to a Related Entity. Unless UBS agrees otherwise in a particular case, UBS is only deemed to have agreed to transfer Custodial Assists to meet an Outstanding Margin Requirement or transferring the proceeds of a cash advance to the Customer to meet a margin or security requirement of a Related Entity upon it actually transferring those Custodial Assets or proceeds (as applicable) and is not liable for failure to do so.

$10.5$ Provision of Collateral

Subject to UBS's rights under clause 10.2, Collateral which is required by UBS pursuant to clause 5, if provided to the Custodian, will be held by the Custodian as bare trustee for the Customer subject to the Security. Any other Collateral provided to UBS in accordance with clause 5 will be provided to UBS in accordance with the terms and conditions of the ASLA and with the Rules. Securities delivered by the Custodian to UBS under clause 10.2 will be deemed to be provided by the Customer to UBS in accordance with the terms and conditions of the ASLA and with the Rules. UBS will become the legal and beneficial owner of those securities upon taking delivery of them from the Custodian.

10.6 Custodial Assets to be borrowed by UBS

Any Custodial Assets which UBS has the Custodian pay or deliver to it, will be borrowed by UBS from the Customer in accordance with the terms and conditions of the ASLA and with the Rules. If any of the terms of the ASLA are inconsistent with any of the terms of this agreement, this agreement prevails to the extent of the inconsistency.

$10.7$ Withholding Taxes on Income

If a law requires UBS to deduct an amount in respect of Taxes in relation to any income or other payments to the Customer under this agreement, the Customer authorises UBS to make such deductions without any further express instructions. UBS will pay to the Customer the amount of income or other payments net of Taxes.

$11$ Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgment

Customer's representations and warranties $11.1$

The Customer represents and warrants to UBS that:

  • $(a)$ it has the power to enter into and perform its obligations under this agreement, and has duly executed this agreement so as to constitute valid and binding obligations of the Customer;
  • $(b)$ it has duly executed this agreement in its capacity as trustee and manager of the Scheme and for the benefit of the beneficiaries of the Scheme;

  • $(c)$ it holds such licences and authorities as are necessary to lawfully perform its obligations under this agreement;

  • $(d)$ in giving any instructions under this agreement, the Customer will act as principal;

  • $(h)$ it has complied with its legal obligations and regulatory requirements concerning money laundering and investments in the Scheme, has implemented due diligence procedures to ensure that investments in the Scheme are not made for money laundering purposes or other unlawful purposes and the due diligence procedures are consistent with those which a prudent trustee and manager of a fund of the same kind as the Scheme would implement;
  • $(i)$ it is an Australian resident taxpayer;
  • each representation and warranty set out in Schedule 5. $(i)$

The Customer further represents and warrants that each of the warranties set out above in this clause 11.1 is true and correct in every respect as at the date of this agreement and will be so at all times while this agreement remains in force.

$11.2$ UBS's representations and warranties

UBS represents and warrants to the Customer that:

Liability of Parties $12$

$12.1$ Liability of Customer Limited

UBS agrees that the liability of the Customer to UBS, its agents or any other person under or arising out of this agreement is limited to the amount that the Customer actually receives in the exercise of its right of indemnity against the assets of the Scheme. However, if the Customer is not entitled to be indemnified from the assets of the Scheme due to the fraud, wilful violation of the law, gross negligence, breach of trust, breach of duty or other default of the Customer or its agents (other than UBS) the Customer will be fully personally liable to UBS.

$12.2$ No Responsibility of UBS

The Customer acknowledges that:

  • UBS is not providing advice to the Customer under this agreement $(a)$ and no executing broker has authority to give investment advice on behalf of UBS;
