9 NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENTS AND CUMULATION OF ADJUSTMENTS

9.1 Cumulation of Adjustments

Effect will be given to Rule 10 in such manner that the effect of the successive applications of them is cumulative, with the intention being that the adjustments they progressively effect will reflect previous adjustments.

10 NEW ISSUES AND ADJUSTMENTS FOR RIGHTS ISSUES

10.1 Participation generally

There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the Options and holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Options. However, the Company will ensure that for the purposes of determining entitlements to any such issue, the record date will be at least 7 Business Days after the issue is announced. This will give Option holders the opportunity to exercise their Options prior to the date for determining entitlements to participate in any such issue.

10.2 Rights Issues

If the Company makes a pro rata issue of securities (except a bonus issue) to the holders of Shares (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment) the Option Exercise Price shall be reduced according to the formula specified in the Listing Rules.

10.3 Bonus issues

In the event of a bonus issue of Shares being made pro-rata to Shareholders, (other than an issue in lieu of dividends), the number of Shares issued on exercise of each Option will include the number of bonus Shares that would have been issued if the Option had been exercised prior to the record date for the bonus issue. No adjustment will be made to the exercise price per Share of the Option.

10.4 Quotation

Options will not be quoted on ASX. However, application will be made to ASX for official quotation of the Shares allotted pursuant to the exercise of Options if the Company's Shares are listed on ASX at that time.

An application to be issued Options may be made by persons invited to participate in the Scheme in such form and upon such terms and conditions concerning the closing date for applications as are approved by the Directors from time to time.

10.6 Reorganisation

The terms upon which Options will be granted will not prevent the Options being reorganised as required by the Listing Rules on the reorganisation of the capital of the Company.

5741412/310

11 OVERRIDING RESTRICTIONS ON ISSUE AND EXERCISE

Notwithstanding the Rules or the terms of any Option, no Option may be offered, granted or exercised and no Share may be issued under the Scheme if to do so:

  • (a) would contravene the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules or any other applicable law; or

  • (b) would contravene the local laws or customs of an Eligible Participant's country of residence or in the opinion of the Board would require actions to comply with those local laws or customs which are impractical.

12 AMENDMENT OF RULES

Subject to and in accordance with the Listing Rules (including any waiver granted under such Listing Rules), the Directors (without the necessity of obtaining the prior or subsequent consent of Shareholders of the Company in a general meeting) may from time to time amend (including the power to revoke, add to or vary) all or any provisions of the Rules in any respect whatsoever, by an instrument in writing, provided that rights or entitlements in respect of any Option granted before the date of amendment shall not be reduced or adversely affected unless prior written approval from the affected holder(s) is obtained.

13 TRIGGER EVENT

Notwithstanding the Rules of the Scheme, upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event, the Directors may determine:

  • (a) that the Options may be exercised at any time from the date of such determination, and in any number until the date determined by the Directors acting bona fide so as to permit the holder to participate in any change of control arising from a Trigger Event, provided that the Directors will forthwith advise in writing each holder of such determination. Thereafter, the Options shall lapse to the extent they have not been exercised; or

  • (b) to use their reasonable endeavours to procure that an offer is made to holders of Options on like terms (having regard to the nature and value of the Options) to the terms proposed under the Trigger Event in which case the Directors shall determine an appropriate period during which the holder may elect to accept the offer and, if the holder has not so elected at the end of that period, the Options shall immediately become exercisable and if not exercised within 10 days, shall lapse.

14 ADMINISTRATION OF SCHEME

  • (a) The Directors may appoint for the proper administration and management of the Scheme, such persons as it considers desirable and may delegate thereto such authorities as may be necessary or desirable for the administration and management of the Scheme.

  • (b) Subject to the provisions of the Rules, the Directors may make such regulations and establish such procedures for the administration and management of the Scheme as they consider appropriate.

5741412/311

(c) The decision of the Directors as to the interpretation, effect or application of the Rules will be final.

15 RIGHTS OF ELIGIBLE PARTICIPANTS

Neither participation in the Scheme by the Company or an Associated Body Corporate or any Eligible Participants or Option holders or anything contained in these Rules shall in any way prejudice or affect the right of the Company or an Associated Body Corporate to dismiss any Eligible Participant or Option holder or to vary the terms of employment of any Eligible Participant or Option holder. Nor shall participation or the rights or benefits of an Eligible Participant or Option holder under the Rules be relevant to or used as grounds for granting or increasing damages in any action brought by an Eligible Participant or Option holder against the Company or an Associated Body Corporate whether in respect of any alleged wrongful dismissal or otherwise.

16 ATTORNEY

Each Participant, in consideration of an Offer:

  • (a) irrevocably appoints the Company and any person nominated from time to time by the Company (each an "attorney"), severally, as the Participant's attorney to complete and execute any documents including applications for Shares and Share transfers and to do all acts or things on behalf of and in the name of the Participant which may be convenient or necessary for the purpose of giving effect to the provisions of these Rules;
