Accordingly, the Issuer shall not be obliged to pay any Distributions in respect of any Security to any Security Holder on any Distribution Payment Date or on any date fixed for redemption pursuant to Conditions 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 or 7.5, as the case may be, in which case the non-payment of any such Distributions will not constitute a default, or similar event, in respect of the Securities.

  • (b) Distributions are non-cumulative. Accordingly, without prejudice to Condition 5.9(f), Distributions shall only accrue on the Securities from one Distribution Payment Date to the next Distribution Payment Date and any Distributions accrued up to such Distribution Payment Date which the Issuer does not pay (as provided in Condition 4.1(a)) shall cease to be payable at any time thereafter, provided that the Issuer may elect in its sole and absolute discretion to subsequently make any such payment, which may be all or part of an Optional Distribution Payment, without penalty or premium other than under these Conditions, for the purposes of Condition 5.9(f) or for any other purpose, and shall be deemed to have done so if the Issuer elects to redeem the Securities pursuant to any of Conditions 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 or 7.5 or is required to redeem the Securities pursuant to Condition 10.

  • (c) If the Issuer elects to make a payment under Condition 4.1(b), the Issuer must give a notice, or cause a notice to be given, to the Security Holders notifying them of the following at least 5 Business Days before the date of payment under Condition 4.1(b):

  • (i) the amount of the payment to be made;

  • (ii) the proposed date for payment;

  • (iii) the balance of any unpaid Distribution after the payment; and

  • (iv) if a Distribution payment is outstanding, whether Stapled Securities are to be issued to the Security Holders under Condition 4.2(b).

  • (d) The Issuer must give a notice, or cause a notice to be given, to the Security Holders of a proposed issue of Stapled Securities to the Security Holders or their nominees under Condition 4.2(b), at least 20 Business Days before the Distribution Date relating to that issue of Stapled Securities:

  • (iv) if a Distribution payment is outstanding, whether Stapled Securities are to be issued to the Security Holders under Condition 4.2(b).

4.2 Distribution rate and payment of Distributions

  • (a) Subject always to Condition 4.1, Distributions will accrue from day to day on the principal amount outstanding of the Securities at the Distribution Rate from (and including) the Issue Date and shall cease to accrue on a Security:

  • (i) where the Exchange Rights are exercised by Security Holders, from (and including) the Distribution Payment Date immediately preceding the relevant Exchange Date, provided that such Security is so exchanged on such date; and

  • (ii) where such Security is to be redeemed, from (but excluding) the day fixed for redemption of that Security under any of Conditions 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 or 7.5, provided that such Security is so redeemed on such date.

  • (b) Subject always to Condition 4.1, the Issuer shall pay all accrued Distributions in respect of the immediately preceding Distribution Period on each Distribution Payment Date and, in respect of any Security being redeemed, on the date fixed for redemption of that Security by paying such Distributions to holders in cash or, where some or all of such Distributions is not paid to holders in cash, by paying the unpaid amount of such Distributions by procuring that the Goodman Entities issue Stapled Securities to holders in accordance with the following formula:

N = A / B

where:

  • N is the number of Stapled Securities to be issued to the relevant holders;

  • A is the unpaid amount of the Distributions due to the relevant holders; and B is 97.5% of the arithmetic average of the VWAP of Stapled Securities on the 15 consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the due date for payment of the Distributions to the relevant holders.

Where the Issuer satisfies its Distribution payment obligations by procuring that the Goodman Entities issue Stapled Securities to holders in lieu of paying such Distributions in cash (as contemplated above), the Issuer must procure that the Goodman Entities issue the Stapled Securities to holders within 10 Business Days after the due date for payment of such Distributions, unless the Goodman Entities are unable to do so on the basis that the issue requires securityholder or other regulatory approval, in which case the Issuer must procure that the Goodman Entities issue the Stapled Securities to the relevant Security Holders or their nominees as soon as reasonably practicable after such approvals have been obtained.

The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that it shall not pay any Distributions with a Distribution Payment Date after 30 June 2010 to holders in cash in accordance with this Condition 4.2(b) if, on the due date for payment of such Distributions:

  • (i) ( ICR covenant ): the number represented by EBITDA divided by Interest Expense, which shall be calculated as at 30 June and 31 December each year in respect of the immediately preceding 12 month period up to that date using the most recent balance date Financial Statements of the Goodman Group (either audited or reviewed by an independent auditor), is less than 2.5; or

  • (ii) ( gearing covenant ): the number represented by Net Liabilities divided by Net Tangible Assets, which shall be calculated as at 30 June and 31 December each year using the most recent balance date Financial Statements of the Goodman Group (either audited or reviewed by an independent auditor), exceeds 0.55.

For the purposes of this Condition 4.2(b), EBITDA , Interest Expense , Net Tangible Assets , Net Liabilities and Financial Statements have the meanings given in the Common Terms Deed Poll.

  • (c) If any Distribution Payment Date would otherwise fall on a date which is not a Business Day, that Distribution Payment Date will be postponed to the next Business Day unless it would thereby fall into the next calendar month, in which case it will be brought forward to the preceding Business Day.

  • (d) Distributions for each Distribution Period will be calculated on the basis of the number of days in the Distribution Period divided by 365.

4.3 Consequences of non-payment of Distributions or Optional Distribution Amount

  • (i) the Security Holder (or the person specified by it in the Exchange Notice as the person to whom the relevant Stapled Securities are to be issued on the Exchange Date) is, and will be upon the allotment or issue of Stapled Securities on conversion of the relevant Securities, in compliance with the Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act 1975 (Cth) and section 606 of the Corporations Act, in each case, following the acquisition of those Stapled Securities allotted or issued on conversion of the relevant Securities;

  • (a) ( Consolidation, subdivision or reclassification ) If and whenever there shall be an alteration to the number of issued Stapled Securities as a result of consolidation, subdivision or reclassification, the Exchange Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exchange Price in force immediately before such alteration by the following fraction:

A / B

where:

  • A is the aggregate number of issued Stapled Securities immediately before such alteration; and

  • B is the aggregate number of issued Stapled Securities immediately after such alteration.

Such adjustment shall become effective on the date the alteration takes effect.

(b) ( Capitalisation of profits or reserves )

(i) If and whenever any Stapled Securities shall be issued credited as fully paid to the holders of Stapled Securities by way of capitalisation of profits or reserves (including any share premium account) including Stapled

Securities paid up out of distributable profits or reserves (including any share premium account) (except where Stapled Securities are issued in lieu of the whole or any part of a specifically announced cash Dividend (the Relevant Cash Dividend ) (pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan or otherwise), being a Dividend which the holder of the Stapled Security concerned would or could otherwise have elected to receive (a Scrip Dividend )), the Exchange Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exchange Price in force immediately before such issue by the following fraction:

A / B

where:

  • A is the aggregate number of issued Stapled Securities immediately before such issue; and

  • B is the aggregate number of issued Stapled Securities immediately after such issue.

  • (ii) In the case of an issue of Stapled Securities by way of a Scrip Dividend where the Current Market Price on the day before such Scrip Dividend is announced of such Stapled Securities exceeds the amount of the Relevant Cash Dividend or the relevant part thereof and which would not have constituted an Extraordinary Dividend, the Exchange Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exchange Price in force immediately before the issue of such Stapled Securities by the following fraction:

([A x M] +B) / [(A+C) x M ]

where:

  • A is the aggregate number of issued Stapled Securities immediately before such issue;

  • B is the amount of the whole, or the relevant part, of the Relevant Cash Distribution

  • C is the aggregate number of Stapled Securities issued by way of such Scrip Distribution; and

  • M is the Current Market Price of the Stapled Securities on the day before such Scrip Distribution is announced.

Such adjustment under this Condition 6.1(b) shall become effective on the date of issue of such Stapled Securities or, if a record date is fixed therefore, immediately after such record date.

  • (c) ( Extraordinary Dividend ) If and whenever any Extraordinary Dividend is paid or made to the holders of Stapled Securities (except where the Exchange Price falls to be adjusted under Condition 6.1(b)), the Exchange Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exchange Price in force immediately prior to the Effective Date by the following fraction:

(A – B) / A

where:

  • A is the Current Market Price of one Stapled Security on the last Trading Day immediately preceding the Effective Date; and

  • B is the portion of the Fair Market Value of the aggregate Extraordinary Dividend attributable to one Stapled Security, with such portion being determined by dividing the Fair Market Value of the aggregate Extraordinary Dividend by the number of Stapled Securities entitled to receive the relevant Extraordinary Dividend (or, in the case of a purchase, redemption or buy back of Stapled Securities or any depositary or other receipts or certificates representing Stapled Securities by or on behalf of the Goodman Entities or any Subsidiary of them, by the number of Stapled Securities on issue immediately following such purchase, redemption or buy back, and treating as not being on issue any Stapled Securities, or any Stapled Securities represented by depositary or other receipts or certificates, purchased, redeemed or bought back).

Such adjustment shall become effective on the Effective Date, or, if later, the first date upon which the Fair Market Value of the relevant Extraordinary Dividend is capable of being determined as provided herein.

In this Condition:

Effective Date means the first date on which the Stapled Securities are traded on the ASX, or other relevant stock exchange, ex-the relevant Extraordinary Dividend or in the case of a purchase, redemption or buy back of Stapled Securities or any depositary or other receipts or certificates representing Stapled Securities, the date on which such purchase, redemption or buy back is made or, where an announcement (excluding, to avoid doubt, for these purposes any general authority for such purchases, redemptions or buy backs approved by a general meeting of holders of Stapled Securities or any notice convening such a meeting of holders of Stapled Securities) has been made of the intention to purchase, redeem or buy back Stapled Securities at some future date at a specified price, on the date of such announcement.

Dividend means any dividend or distribution to holders of Stapled Securities whether of cash, assets or other property, and however described and whether payable out of profits, retained earnings or any other capital or revenue reserve or account, and including a distribution or payment to holders upon or in connection with a reduction of capital (and for these purposes a distribution of assets includes without limitation an issue of Stapled Securities or other securities credited as fully or partly paid up by way of capitalisation of profits or reserves or otherwise), provided that for the purposes of this Condition 6.1(c) and the definition of Extraordinary Dividend:

(i) where a Dividend in cash is announced which is to be, or may at the election of a holder of Stapled Securities be, satisfied by the issue or

gubs A0113115794v1 206179946 25.8.2009

Page 26

==> picture [128 x 25] intentionally omitted <==

delivery of Stapled Securities or other property or assets, or where a capitalisation of profits or reserves is announced which is to be, or may at the election of a holder of Stapled Securities be, satisfied by the payment of cash, then the Fair Market Value of the Dividend in question shall be treated as an amount equal to the greater of (A) such cash amount and (B) the Current Market Price of such Stapled Securities or, as the case may be, Fair Market Value of such other property or assets (as at the date of the first public announcement of such Dividend or capitalisation (as the case may be) or if later, the date on which the number of Stapled Securities (or amount of property or assets, as the case may be) which may be issued or transferred and delivered is determined);

  • (ii) a purchase or redemption or buy back shall not constitute a Dividend unless, in the case of a purchase or redemption or buy back, the price per Stapled Security (before expenses) on any one day (a Specified Day ) in respect of such purchases or redemptions or buy backs exceeds the arithmetic mean of the VWAP of the Stapled Securities on the five Trading Days immediately preceding the Specified Day or, where an announcement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt for these purposes, any general authority for such purchases, redemptions or buy backs approved by a general meeting of holders of Stapled Securities or any notice convening such a meeting of Stapled Securities) has been made of the intention to purchase, redeem or buy back Stapled Securities at some future date at a specified price, on the five Trading Days immediately preceding the date of such announcement, in which case such purchase, redemption or buy back shall be deemed to constitute a cash Dividend to the extent that the aggregate price paid (before expenses) in respect of such Stapled Securities purchased, redeemed or bought back exceeds the product of (A) the arithmetic mean of the VWAP of the Stapled Securities on such five Trading Days and (B) the number of Stapled Securities so purchased, redeemed or bought back;

  • (iii) if there is any purchase, redemption or buy back of any depositary or other receipts or certificates representing Stapled Securities, the provisions of paragraph (ii) shall be applied in respect thereof in such manner and with such modifications (if any) as shall be determined in good faith by an Independent Financial Institution; and

  • (iv) a purchase or redemption or buy back of any redeemable preference shares which are issued after the Issue Date by the Issuer or the Goodman Entities or any of their respective Subsidiaries in accordance with the terms of such redeemable preference share shall not constitute a Dividend.

For the purposes of the above, Fair Market Value shall (subject as provided in paragraph (i) of the definition of “Dividend” and in the definition of “Fair Market Value”) be determined on the day as at the Effective Date.

In making any calculations for the purposes of this Condition 6.1(c), such adjustments (if any) shall be made as an Independent Financial Institution may determine in good faith to be appropriate to reflect (i) any consolidation or subdivision of any Stapled Securities or the issue of Stapled Securities by way of capitalisation of profits or reserves (or any like or similar event) or any increase in the number of Stapled Securities on issue in relation to the financial year, or (ii) any change in the financial year of the Sub-Trust, the Trust or the Company.

(d) ( Rights issue of Stapled Securities ) Except where the Exchange Price falls to be adjusted under Condition 6.1(c), if and whenever any Stapled Securities are issued to all or substantially all holders of Stapled Securities as a class by way of rights, or there is an issue or grant to all or substantially all holders of Stapled Securities as a class, by way of rights, options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase or otherwise acquire any Stapled Securities, in each case at less than the Current Market Price per Stapled Security on the last Trading Day preceding the date of the announcement of the terms of such issue or grant, the Exchange Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exchange Price in force immediately before such issue or grant by the following fraction:

(A-B) / A

where:

  • A is the Current Market Price on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which Stapled Securities are traded on the ASX ex-rights, exoptions or ex-warrants (the ex-date ); and

  • B is the Fair Market Value on the date immediately preceding the ex-date of the portion of the rights attributable to one Stapled Security.

Such adjustment shall become effective on the date of issue of such Stapled Securities or issue or grant of such options, warrants or other rights (as the case may be) or where a record date is set, the first date on which the Stapled Securities are traded ex-rights, ex-options or ex-warrants (as the case may be).

  • (e) ( Rights issue of other securities ) If and whenever any securities (other than Stapled Securities or options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Stapled Securities) are issued to all or substantially all holders of Stapled Securities as a class, by way of rights, or there is an issue or grant to all or substantially all holders of Stapled Securities as a class by way of rights, of any options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire, any securities (other than Stapled Securities or options, warrants or other rights to subscribe, or purchase Stapled Securities or otherwise acquire Stapled Securities), the Exchange Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exchange Price in force immediately before such issue or grant by the following fraction:

(A – B) / A

where:

gubs A0113115794v1 206179946 25.8.2009

Page 28

==> picture [128 x 25] intentionally omitted <==

  • A is the Current Market Price of one Stapled Security on the last Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which Stapled Securities are traded on the ASX ex-rights, ex-options or ex-warrants (the ‘ex-date’); and

  • B is the Fair Market Value on the date immediately preceding the ex-date of the portion of the rights attributable to one Stapled Security.

Such adjustment shall become effective on the date of issue of the securities or grant of such rights, options or warrants (as the case may be) or where a record date is set, the first date on which the Stapled Securities are traded ex-rights, exoptions or ex-warrants (as the case may be).

(f) ( Issues at less than Current Market Price ) If and whenever (otherwise than as mentioned in Condition 6.1(d)) any Stapled Securities (other than Stapled Securities issued on the exercise of Exchange Rights or on the exercise of any other rights of conversion into, or exchange or subscription for or purchase of, Stapled Securities) are issued or if and whenever (otherwise than as mentioned in Condition 6.1(d)) any options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Stapled Securities (including securities that are convertible into, or exchangeable for, Stapled Securities) are issued or granted, in each case at a price per Stapled Securities which is less than the Current Market Price on the last Trading Day preceding the date of announcement of the terms of such issue or grant, the Exchange Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exchange Price in force immediately before such issue or grant by the following fraction:

(A x M + B) / [(A+C) x M]

where:

  • A is the number of Stapled Securities on issue immediately before the issue of such additional Stapled Securities or the issue or grant of such option, warrants or other rights to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Stapled Securities;

  • B is the aggregate consideration (if any) receivable for the issue of such additional Stapled Securities, or the consideration receivable if such options, warrants or other rights are exercised;

  • C is the number of Stapled Securities to be issued or which would be issued immediately after the exercise of such options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for Stapled Securities; and

  • M is the Current Market Price of the Stapled Securities on the day before such issue is announced.

Provided that if at the time of issue or grant of any such options, warrants or rights (as used in this Condition 6.1(f), the Specified Date ) such number of Stapled Securities is to be determined by reference to the application of a formula or other variable feature or the occurrence of any event at some subsequent time (which may be when such rights of subscription are exercised or at such other time as may be provided) then for the purposes of this Condition 6.1(f), ‘C’ shall be determined by application of such formula or variable feature or as if the relevant

event occurs or has occurred as at the Specified Date and as if such conversion, exchange, subscription or purchase had taken place on the Specified Date.

Such adjustment shall become effective on the date of issue of such additional Stapled Securities or, as the case may be, the issue or grant of any such options, warrants or other rights.

  • (g) ( Other issues at less than Current Market Price ) Except for an issue of securities arising from a conversion or exchange of other securities in accordance with the terms applicable to such securities themselves falling within the provisions of this Condition 6.1(g), in the event of the issue (otherwise than as mentioned in Conditions 6.1(d), 6.1(e) or 6.1(f)) or (at the direction or request of or pursuant to any arrangements with the Issuer or the Goodman Entities or any of their Subsidiaries) by any other company, person or entity of any securities (other than the Securities) which by their terms of issue carry rights of conversion into, or exchange or subscription for, Stapled Securities to be issued upon conversion, exchange or subscription at a consideration per Stapled Security which is less than the Current Market Price on the last Trading Day preceding the date of announcement of the terms of issue of such securities, the Exchange Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exchange Price in force immediately before such issue by the following fraction:

(A x M +B) / [(A+C) x M]

where:

  • A is the number of Stapled Securities on issue immediately before such issue;

  • B is the aggregate consideration receivable for the Stapled Securities to be issued on conversion or exchange or on exercise of the right of subscription attached to such securities;

  • C is the maximum number of Stapled Securities to be issued on conversion or exchange of such securities or on the exercise of such rights of subscription attached thereto at the initial conversion, exchange or subscription price or rate; and

  • M is the Current Market Price of the Stapled Securities on the day before such issue is announced.

Provided that if at the time of issue of the relevant securities or date of grant of such rights (as used in this Condition 6.1(g), the Specified Date ) such number of Stapled Securities is to be determined by reference to the application of a formula or other variable feature or the occurrence of any event at some subsequent time (which may be when such securities are converted or rights of subscription are exercised or, as the case may be, such securities are re-designated or at such other time as may be provided) then for the purposes of this Condition 6.1(g), ‘C’ shall be determined by application of such formula or variable feature or as if the relevant event occurs or has occurred as at the Specified Date and as if such

gubs A0113115794v1 206179946 25.8.2009

Page 30

conversion, exchange, subscription, purchase or acquisition or, as the case may be, re designation had taken place on the Specified Date.

Such adjustment shall become effective on the date of issue of such securities.

(h) ( Modification of rights of conversion ) If there is a modification of the rights of conversion, exchange or subscription attaching to any such securities as are mentioned in Condition 6.1(g) (other than in accordance with the terms applicable to such securities) so that the consideration per Stapled Security (for the number of Stapled Securities available on conversion, exchange or subscription following the modification) is less than the Current Market Price on the last Trading Day preceding the effective date of such modification, the Exchange Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exchange Price in force immediately before such modification by the following fraction:

[M – (B/A)] / M

where:

  • A is the number of Stapled Securities on issue including all the securities to be issued under such modification assuming those securities are issued at a price equal to M as defined in this sub-clause;

  • B is the change in aggregate consideration receivable from the modified securities (assuming the attached conversion, exchange or subscription right is exercised) due to the modification of such conversion, exchange or subscription; and

  • M is the Current Market Price of the Stapled Securities as used in clause 6.1(g).

Such adjustment shall become effective on the date of modification of the rights of conversion, exchange or subscription attaching to such securities.

(i) ( Other Offers to Holders of Stapled Securities ) If and whenever the Goodman Entities or any Subsidiary of the Goodman Entities or (at the direction or request of or pursuant to any arrangements with the Goodman Entities or any Subsidiary of the Goodman Entities) any other company, person or entity issues, sells or distributes any securities in connection with an offer by or on behalf of the Goodman Entities or any Subsidiary of the Goodman Entities or of such other company, person or entity pursuant to an offer in which the holders of Stapled Securities generally (meaning for these purposes the holders of at least 60% of the Stapled Securities outstanding at the time such offer is made) are entitled to participate in arrangements whereby such securities may be acquired by them (except where the Exchange Price falls to be adjusted under any of Conditions 6.1(d), 6.1(e), 6.1(f) or 6.1(g)), the Exchange Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exchange Price in force immediately before such issue, sale or distribution by the following fraction:

(A – B) / A

where:

  • A is the Current Market Price of one Stapled Security on the last Trading Day immediately preceding the date of such issue, sale or distribution; and

  • B is the Fair Market Value on the date of such announcement of the portion of the rights attributable to one Stapled Security.

  • (j) In this Condition 6.1, Current Market Price means, in respect of a Stapled Security at a particular time on a particular date, the average of the VWAP of one Stapled Security (being a Stapled Security carrying full entitlement to dividends and distributions) for the 10 consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding such date;

provided that if at any time during the said 10 Trading Day period the Stapled Securities shall have been quoted ex-dividend or ex-distribution (or ex- any other entitlement) and during some other part of that period the Stapled Securities shall have been quoted cum-dividend or cum-distribution (or cum- any other entitlement) then:

  • (i) if the Stapled Securities to be issued in such circumstances do not rank for the dividend or distribution (or entitlement) in question, the quotations on the dates on which the Stapled Securities shall have been quoted cumdividend or cum-distribution (or cum- any other entitlement) shall for the purpose of this definition be deemed to be the amount thereof reduced by an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of that dividend or distribution (or entitlement) per Stapled Securities as at the date of the first public announcement of such dividend or distribution (or entitlement); or

  • (ii) if the Stapled Securities to be issued in such circumstances rank for the dividend or distribution (or entitlement) in question, the quotations on the dates on which the Stapled Securities shall have been quoted ex-dividend or ex-distribution (or ex- any other entitlement) shall for the purpose of this definition be deemed to be the amount thereof increased by such similar amount;

and provided further that if the Stapled Securities on each of the said 10 Trading Days have been quoted cum-dividend or cum-distribution (or cum- any other entitlement) in respect of a dividend or distribution (or entitlement) which has been declared or announced but the Stapled Securities to be issued do not rank for that dividend or distribution (or entitlement), the quotations on each of such dates shall for the purpose of this definition be deemed to be the amount thereof reduced by an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of that dividend or distribution (or entitlement) per Stapled Security as at the date of the first public announcement of such dividend or distribution (or entitlement),

and provided further that:

  • (iii) if the VWAP is not available on each of the 10 Trading Days during the relevant period, then the arithmetic average of such VWAPs which are available in the relevant period shall be used (subject to a minimum of two such VWAPs); and

Page 32

==> picture [128 x 25] intentionally omitted <==

  • (iv) if only one or no such VWAP is available in the relevant period, then the Current Market Price shall be determined in good faith by an Independent Financial Institution.

6.2 Other provisions relating to Exchange Price

  • (a) Except where expressly stated otherwise, any adjustment under Condition 6.1 will be calculated by the Issuer and shall be notified by the Issuer in writing to the Security Holders as soon as reasonably practicable following such calculation, such notice to include reasonable details of the basis of the calculation of the adjustment.

  • (b) In the event that the Majority Security Holders dispute any adjustment made or to be made under Condition 6.1 or reasonably consider that the information provided under Condition 6.2(a) is insufficient to enable them to determine whether the adjustment made or to be made is correct, those Security Holders may notify the Issuer in writing, within 15 Business Days of the date of any notice under Condition 6.2(a), of any objection (giving reasonable details of the dispute). If the Majority Security Holders do not object in writing within 15 Business Days of notice of the adjusted Exchange Price, the Security Holders shall be deemed to have accepted such adjusted Exchange Price and (without prejudice to any claim for damages in the event such determination later proves to have not complied with these Conditions) it will be binding on the Security Holders, the Issuer and the Goodman Entities.

  • (c) If the Majority Security Holders do object within the period referred to in Condition 6.2(b), the Issuer will provide such further information as is reasonably necessary to determine whether an adjustment made or to be made was correct and those Security Holders and the Issuer shall negotiate in good faith to agree the appropriate adjustment to the Exchange Price for a period of not more than 5 Business Days from the date of objection.

  • (d) If the Majority Security Holders and the Issuer do not agree the appropriate adjustment to be made to the Exchange Price within the period referred to in Condition 6.2(c), the Issuer shall procure an Independent Financial Institution, acting as expert, to determine and notify to the Security Holders and the Issuer as soon as practicable what adjustment (if any) to the Exchange Price is appropriate in accordance with Condition 6.1. Such adjustment (if any) as so determined will take effect in accordance with such determination and will be binding on the Security Holders, the Issuer and the Goodman Entities.

  • (e) Notwithstanding any other Condition, no adjustment shall be made to the Exchange Price:

  • (i) where Stapled Securities or rights, warrants or options in respect of Stapled Securities are issued, offered, exercised, allotted, appropriated, modified or granted to or for the benefit of employees or former employees (including directors holding or formerly holding executive offices) of the Issuer or the Goodman Entities or their Subsidiaries or other eligible

gubs A0113115794v1 206179946 25.8.2009

Page 33

persons (as set out in a relevant employee share option scheme or plan) under any of the Goodman Entities' employee share option scheme or plan duly adopted by the Goodman Entities, in compliance with the Listing Rules;

  • (ii) in respect of the announcement, declaration or payment of any Dividend other than an Extraordinary Dividend or a Dividend in respect of which the Exchange Price falls to be adjusted under Condition 6.1(b);

  • (iii) except in the case of a consolidation of Stapled Securities, where the adjustment would result in an increase of the Exchange Price; or

  • (iv) in connection with the August 2009 Offer.

  • (f)

  • If:

  • (i) the rights of conversion, exchange, purchase or subscription attaching to any options, rights, warrants to subscribe or purchase Stapled Securities or any securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, Stapled Securities or the rights carried by such securities to subscribe for, or purchase, Stapled Securities are modified (other than pursuant to, and as provided in, the existing terms and conditions of such options, rights, warrants or securities); or

  • (ii) the Majority Security Holders determine that an adjustment should be made to the Exchange Price as a result of an event or circumstance not referred to in Condition 6.1 and such adjustment has not been made,

the Issuer shall, at its own cost and expense, consult an Independent Financial Institution to determine as soon as practicable what adjustment (if any) to the Exchange Price is required to preserve the economic value of the Exchange Rights and the date such adjustment should take effect and upon such determination such adjustment (if any) shall be made and shall take effect in accordance with such determination, provided that where the events or circumstances giving rise to any adjustment under this Condition 6.2 have already resulted or will result in an adjustment to the Exchange Price or where the circumstances giving rise to any adjustment arise by virtue of events or circumstances which have already given rise or will give rise to any adjustment to the Exchange Price, such modifications (if any) shall be made to the operation of the provisions of this Condition 6 as may be advised by the Independent Financial Institution to be in their opinion appropriate to give the intended result.

  • (g) On any adjustment, the relevant Exchange Price, if not an integral multiple of one hundredth of one Australian cent, shall be rounded down to the nearest hundredth of one Australian cent.

  • (h) No adjustment shall be made to the Exchange Price where such adjustment (rounded down if applicable) would be less than 1% of the Exchange Price then in effect. Any adjustment not required to be made, and any amount by which the Exchange Price has not been rounded down, shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment, and such subsequent adjustment shall

gubs A0113115794v1 206179946 25.8.2009

Page 34

==> picture [128 x 25] intentionally omitted <==

be made on the basis that the adjustment not required to be made had been made at the relevant time.

  • (i) All calculations of any nature whatsoever under the Conditions shall be performed by the Issuer unless otherwise specified.

  • (j) If at any time the Issuer is required to appoint an Independent Financial Institution for the purposes of this Condition 6 and fails to select an Independent Financial Institution to be approved by the Security Holders as so required (whether initially or following any failure by Security Holders to approve such appointment by way of Ordinary Resolution), the Security Holders (by way of Ordinary Resolution) may appoint an Independent Financial Institution for such purpose.

  • (k) All costs, charges, liabilities and expenses incurred in connection with the appointment, retention, consultation and remuneration of an Independent Financial Institution appointed under these Conditions shall be borne by the Issuer.

7. Redemption

7.1 Redemption

The Issuer may not redeem any Securities except as provided in Conditions 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 or 7.5. A Security Holder may not require the Issuer to redeem its Securities except as provided in Conditions 7.5 and 10.

For the avoidance of doubt, if a Security Holder exercises Exchange Rights in respect of Securities which are the subject of an Optional Redemption Notice, an Issuer Redemption Notice or a Tax Redemption Notice, those Securities will not be redeemed pursuant to the Optional Redemption Notice, Issuer Redemption Notice or a Tax Redemption Notice, and instead they will be converted in accordance with Condition 5.

7.2 Redemption at the option of the Issuer

On giving not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice (an Optional Redemption Notice ) to the Security Holders in accordance with Condition 11, the Issuer may redeem all but not some only of the Securities on the date (the Optional Redemption Date ) specified in the Optional Redemption Notice (which must be a date not later than the date 20 Business Days after the date of the Optional Redemption Notice) at their principal amount together with all unpaid Distribution Amounts (if any) in respect of the preceding two Distribution Periods up to (but excluding) the Optional Redemption Date if, at any time on or after:

  • (a) 31 December 2010, in respect of Tranche 1;

  • (b) 31 December 2011, in respect of Tranche 2; and

  • (c) 30 June 2012, in respect of Tranche 3,

the closing price of a Stapled Security for at least 20 out of 30 consecutive Trading Days prior to the giving of the Optional Redemption Notice is greater than 125% of the Exchange Price then in effect for the applicable Securities.

gubs A0113115794v1 206179946 25.8.2009

Page 35

==> picture [128 x 25] intentionally omitted <==

If there shall occur an event giving rise to a change in the Exchange Price, the 30 consecutive Trading Day period referred to in this Condition shall commence after the change to the Exchange Price has taken effect and been notified to the Security Holders in accordance with these Conditions.

Any Optional Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable, and on the Optional Redemption Date, the Issuer must redeem the Securities at their principal amount together with all unpaid Distribution Amounts (if any) in respect of the preceding two Distribution Periods up to (but excluding) the Optional Redemption Date. Any such notice shall specify:

  • (d) the Optional Redemption Date;

  • (e) the aggregate principal amount of the Securities outstanding;

  • (f) the closing price of a Stapled Security for each Trading Day during the 30 consecutive Trading Day period referred to in this Condition;

  • (g) the Exchange Price then in effect; and

  • (h) the last day on which Exchange Rights may be exercised by Security Holders before the Optional Redemption Date.

7.3 Redemption for taxation reasons

  • (a) The Issuer must (unless the Security Holders agree otherwise in writing):

  • (i) give not less than 30 and not more than 60 days’ notice (a Tax Redemption Notice ) to the Security Holders in accordance with Condition 11, if:

    • (A) the Issuer certifies to the Security Holders immediately prior to the giving of such Tax Redemption Notice that an Issuer Tax Event has occurred; and

    • (B) such obligation cannot be avoided by the Issuer or the Goodman Entities taking reasonable measures available to it; and

  • (ii) redeem all but not some only of the Securities on the date (the Tax Redemption Date ) specified in the Tax Redemption Notice (which must be a date not later than the date 20 Business Days after the date of the Tax Redemption Notice) at their principal amount together with all unpaid Distribution Amounts (if any) in respect of the preceding two Distribution Periods up to (but excluding) the Tax Redemption Date.

  • (b) Prior to the publication of any Tax Redemption Notice under this Condition 7.3, the Issuer shall issue to the Security Holders, or procure the issuance to the Security Holders of:

  • (i) a certificate signed by two duly authorised officers of the Issuer stating that an Issuer Tax Event has occurred, the detriment that would result from that Issuer Tax Event occurring in the absence of redemption under this Condition 7.3, and that that detriment cannot be avoided by the Issuer or the Goodman Entities taking reasonable measures available to it; and

gubs A0113115794v1 206179946 25.8.2009

Page 36
