$\overline{4}$

Constitution of Westfield Trust

$\mathbf 1$ Name of Trust

  • $1.1$ The Trust is called Westfield Trust, or such other name as the Manager determines from time to time.
  • $1.2$ If a Manager retires or is removed, its successor as Manager must, unless otherwise approved by the former Manager, change the name of the Trust to a name that does not imply an association with the former Manager or its business.

Assets held on trust $21$

  • $2.1$ The Assets shall be vested in and held by the Manager on trust for the Members, subject to the terms and conditions of this constitution.
  • $2.2$ The Assets must be clearly identified as property of the Trust and held separately from the assets of the Manager and any other managed investment scheme, if and to the extent that the Corporations Act so requires.

Units and Options 3

Nature of Units

3.1 The beneficial interest in the Trust is divided into Units.
$3.2^{\circ}$ Subject to any applicable Class Rights, each Fully Paid Unit confers onthe holder an equal, undivided interest in the Trust.
3.3 Subject to any applicable Class Rights, a Unit confers an interest in theAssets as a whole, subject to the Liabilities. It does not confer aninterest in a particular Asset.
Stapling provisions
3.4 The provisions of this constitution relating to Stapling take effect ifdetermined by the Manager and, if so determined, on and from theStapling Commencement Date and apply subject to all other provisionsof this constitution which may suspend, abrogate or terminate Stapling.The Manager may, subject to this constitution, the Corporations Actand, while the Units are Officially Quoted, the Listing Rules, cause theStapling of any other security or securities to the Units.
Units
3.5 Subject to the Corporations Act, the Manager may create and issueUnits, including classes of Units, with such Class Rights as itdetermines. While Stapling applies, the Manager may not issuedifferent Classes of Units except Units which may temporarily be of adifferent class due to different income entitlements. While the Unitsare not Stapled, the Manager may issue Units of different Classes.Except to the extent specified in the terms of issue of Units, all Units

will rank pari passu.

3.6 The Manager may alter the class of a Unit whether by converting the whole class of Units to another class or by re-allocating any particular Units to another class.

Options

$3.7$ The Manager may, subject to the terms of this constitution, create and issue Options on such terms and conditions as the Manager determines. While Stapling applies, an Option may only be exercised if, at the same time as Units are acquired pursuant to the Option, the same person acquires an identical number of Attached Securities which are then Stapled to the Units.

Rights attaching to Units and Options

3.8 A Member holds a Unit subject to any applicable Class Rights. The holder of an Option holds an Option subject to any applicable Class Rights. Subject to the Corporations Act, the interests of Members holding Units will prevail over the interests of holders of Options in the case of conflict.

Partly paid units

  • 3.9 Subject to clause 4, the Manager may offer Units for sale or subscription on terms that the Application Price is payable by one or more instalments of such amounts payable at such times as the Manager determines. The Manager may determine that the rights and entitlements of those Units (including without limitation the right to participate in the Distributable Income) will be altered. All the terms and conditions of such an offer (including the details of any altered rights and entitlements) must be set out in the document offering the Units for sale. If any Partly Paid Units are issued with altered rights or entitlements, the provisions of this constitution as they apply to such Partly Paid Units must be read subject to those altered rights and entitlements. While Stapling applies Units may not be issued partly paid unless there is, at the same time, a corresponding issue of Attached Securities which are also partly paid. A call will not be regarded as having been validly paid unless any amount payable at the same time in relation to partly paid Attached Securities is also paid.
  • Forfeiture
  • $3.10$ If a Member fails to pay in full any instalment due on any Partly Paid Unit on or by the due date, the Manager may, while any part of the instalment remains unpaid, notify the Member that, if the instalment is not paid in full on or by a specified time and day (not earlier than 14 days from the date of service of the notice) ("Specified Date"), the Partly Paid Units in respect of which the instalment or part instalment remains unpaid will be liable to be forfeited and, if Stapling applies, an equal number of Attached Securities will also be liable to be forfeited.
  • 3.11 If any part of the instalment remains unpaid after the Specified Date:
    • any Partly Paid Unit in respect of which the notice has been $(a)$ given (together with the Attached Securities if Stapling applies) may, at any time after the Specified Date before the required instalment has been paid, be forfeited if the Manager so determines effective at such time as the Manager determines; and

$(b)$ all voting rights and entitlements to the distribution of income and capital in connection with any Partly Paid Unit and, if Stapling applies, the Attached Securities in respect of which the notice has been given are suspended until reinstated by the Manager and, in the case of the Attached Securities, the Stapled Entities.

From the date of forfeiture:

  • the holder of the Partly Paid Unit and, if Stapling applies, $(a)$ Attached Securities ceases to be a Member of the Trust and of each Stapled Entity in respect of the Attached Securities (and has no claims against the Manager or the Trust or the Stapled Entities in respect of the forfeited Unit and the forfeited Attached Securities): and
  • $(b)$ if required in order for ASIC relief to be effective, the Manager holds the Partly Paid Unit on trust for the Members.
  • 3.12 A forfeited Partly Paid Unit and, if Stapling applies, any Attached Securities may, subject to compliance with the Corporations Act and the conditions of any ASIC relief and the Listing Rules, be sold or otherwise disposed of:
    • $(a)$ at a price equal to that received from the sale of the Partly Paid Units and, if Stapling applies, any Attached Securities in the normal course of business on ASX; or
    • $(b)$ by public auction; or
    • $(c)$ by private treaty.

At any time before a sale or disposition under this clause 3.12, the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Manager thinks fit and shall be cancelled when the Member pays to the Manager the full amount owing in respect of such Units and, if Stapling applies, to the Stapled Entities the full amount owing in respect of the Attached Securities

  • The former holder of a Partly Paid Unit which has been forfeited $313$ remains liable to pay to the Manager on demand:
    • $(a)$ all money which at the date of forfeiture were payable by the holder to the Manager in respect of the forfeited Partly Paid Unit:
    • $(b)$ all costs incurred in connection with the forfeiture, including, without limitation, any costs incurred in connection with any proceedings brought against the former holder to recover the instalment or part of the instalment; and
    • $(c)$ interest calculated at the Market Rate plus 3% per annum on the daily balance of the amounts in (a) and (b) from the date they become due for payment or were incurred to the date of payment.

The former Partly Paid Unit holder's liability under this clause 3.13 ceases if and when the Manager receives payment in full of all such amounts.

  • $3.14$ A statement signed by an authorised officer of the Manager that a Partly Paid Unit and, if Stapling applies, the relevant Attached Securities have been forfeited on a stated date is conclusive evidence of that fact as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the forfeited Partly Paid Unit and the Attached Securities.
  • 3.15 Where a Partly Paid Unit and the relevant Attached Securities are forfeited pursuant to clauses 3.10 to 3.18, the Manager may:
    • receive the consideration, if any, given for the forfeited Partly $(a)$ Paid Unit and relevant Attached Securities on the sale or disposal (or the Manager may determine that the consideration will be received in whole or in part by the Stapled Entities);
    • $(b)$ execute (or procure that the Stapled Entities execute) a transfer of such Partly Paid Unit and relevant Attached Securities in favour of the person to whom the Partly Paid Unit and relevant Attached Securities are sold or disposed of and that person must then be registered as the holder of that Partly Paid Unit and relevant Attached Securities,

The Manager and the person acquiring the Partly Paid Units and relevant Attached Securities are not obliged to ensure that any part of the money which has been paid for the Partly Paid Unit and relevant Attached Securities is paid to the former holder of the Partly Paid Unit and relevant Attached Securities nor shall the person's title to that Partly Paid Unit or relevant Attached Securities be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in relation to the forfeiture, sale or disposal of that Partly Paid Unit or the relevant Attached Securities.

  • 3.16 Subject to the conditions of any applicable ASIC relief, where forfeited Partly Paid Units and relevant Attached Securities are sold or disposed of for cash, the Manager must deduct from the cash received:
    • all moneys which at the date of forfeiture were payable to the $(a)$ Manager in respect of the forfeited Partly Paid Units;
    • $(b)$ all costs incurred in connection with the forfeiture including, without limitation, any costs incurred in connection with any proceedings brought against the former holder to recover the instalment or part of the instalment;
    • $(c)$ interest calculated at the Market Rate plus 3% on the daily balance of the amounts in (a) and (b) from the day they became due for payment or were incurred up to and including the date of forfeiture; and
    • all amounts which have been or will be incurred for $(d)$ commissions, Taxes, transfer fees and other usual charges, if any, on the sale or disposal of the Partly Paid Unit.

The Manager may retain the amounts so deducted as Assets, but the balance remaining (if any) must be paid to the Member whose Partly Paid Units were forfeited.

  • 3.17 Joint holders of Partly Paid Units are jointly and severally liable to pay all amounts due and payable on the Partly Paid Units held by them.
  • 3.18 The Manager is not liable to any former or current holder of Partly Paid Units and Attached Securities for any loss incurred in relation to the sale or disposal of the forfeited Partly Paid Units and Attached Securities.

No fractions of Units or Options

  • 3.19 The Manager may not issue fractions of a Unit or an Option.
  • 3.20 Where any calculation performed under this constitution or the terms of a withdrawal offer would otherwise result in the issue or redemption of a fraction of one Unit or one Option, the number of Units or Options to be:
    • issued is to be rounded down to the nearest whole Unit or $(a)$ Option (as the case may be);
    • $(b)$ redeemed is to be rounded up to the nearest whole Unit or Option (as the case may be).
  • Any excess application or other money or property which results from $3.21$ rounding becomes an Asset.

Consolidation and division of Units and Options

3.22 Units and Options may be consolidated or divided as determined by the Manager with any resultant fraction of a Unit in a holding being rounded up to the next whole Unit.

Consolidation, division and conversion while Stapling applies

While Stapling applies, Units may only be consolidated, converted or 3.23 divided if the related Attached Securities are also consolidated, divided or converted at the same time and to the same extent.

Uncertificated trading

3.24 The Manager is not required to, but may, subject to the Listing Rules and if it so determines in respect of some or all of the Units or Options, issue certificates in respect of any Units or Options while the Trust is admitted to any system or scheme which allows trading of uncertificated securities.

Transfer of Units and Options

  • 3.25 Subject to clause 3.26 and any applicable Class Rights, Members may transfer their Units and holders of Options may transfer their Options.

  • 3.26 While the Trust is Listed, a Member may not transfer Restricted Securities during the applicable escrow period.

  • 3.27 Transfers must be in a form approved by the Manager and, unless the Manager is otherwise satisfied that the requirements for the effective transfer of the Units or Options will otherwise be met, must be presented for Registration duly stamped.

  • 3.28 A transfer is not effective until Registered.

  • 3.29 Subject to the Listing Rules, the Manager may refuse to record any transfer in the Register without giving any reason for the refusal and, while the Trust is Listed, must refuse to record a transfer in the Register which would be in breach of clause 3.26.

Single instrument of transfer for Stapled Securities

  • 3.30 While Stapling applies and subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules if the Listing Rules apply:
    • the Manager must not register any transfer of Units unless it is $(a)$ a single instrument of transfer comprising an equivalent number of Units and Attached Securities and any provision of clauses 3.25 to 3.29 (inclusive) of this constitution referring to a transfer of Units will be deemed to be a reference to such a transfer: and
    • $(b)$ a reference in clauses 3.25 to 3.29 to a Unit will be deemed to be a reference to a Stapled Security.

Joint tenancy

3.31 Persons Registered jointly as the holder of a Unit or Option hold as joint tenants and not as tenants in common unless the Manager otherwise agrees.

Death or legal disability of Member

3.32 If a Member dies or becomes subject to a legal disability such as bankruptcy or insanity, only the survivor (where the deceased was a joint holder) or the legal personal representative (in any other case) will be recognised as having any claim to Units or Options Registered in the Member's name. The Manager may determine what evidence must be produced in order to establish the death, or legal disability of a Member.

Number of Units

3.33 While Stapling applies, the number of issued Units at any time must equal the number of issued Attached Securities of each category but disregarding Stapled Units held by the Stapled Company and its subsidiaries.

Application Price 4

$4.1$ The application price for a Unit is usually its Market Price or, while Stapling applies, the Market Price of Stapled Securities minus the application price of Attached Securities as determined by the Manager in accordance with clause 4.8. However, a Unit may be issued at another application price in the following cases:

  • $(a)$ in the case of a proportionate offer (including a rights issue), at a price calculated in accordance with clause 4.2;
  • $(b)$ in the case of a non-proportionate offer (such as a placement of Units), at a price calculated in accordance with clause 4.3 or $4.4:$

The preparation of the accounts in this manner is not to be regarded as a determination of the method for calculating the Distributable Income of the Trust pursuant to clause 9.1.

Entitlement and Distribution Dates

9.2 The Manager must distribute all Distributable Income of the Trust for each Accrual Period within two months of the end of that Accrual Period.

Distribution Ranking

9.3

  • $(a)$ each Unit ranks for distributions of Distributable Income from the first day following the date upon which it is created;
  • $(b)$ where a Unit is created during an Accrual Period, that Unit participates in the Distributable Income in respect of that Accrual Period in the proportion that the part of the Accrual Period (calculated in days) for which the Unit ranks for distribution of Distributable Income bears to the total number of days in the Accrual Period; and
  • $(c)$ in the case of a Unit which is a Partly Paid Unit for the whole or part of an Accrual Period, the Unit participates in the Distributable Income in respect of that Accrual Period according to the proportion or different proportions of the issue price that has been paid up on such Unit. For the purposes of that calculation, where an instalment of the issue price of a Partly Paid Unit is paid into the Trust, the Partly Paid Unit in respect of which the payment is made is entitled to rank for an increased participation in Distributable Income from the first day immediately following the day during which the payment was received

Unit Holders' Entitlements

9.4 Subject to clause 9.3 and any Class Rights, each person registered as a Member at the end of the last day of an Accrual Period is presently entitled to the Distributable Income for that Accrual Period in the proportion which the number of Units held by that Member bears to the total number of Units then on issue but excluding from this calculation Units which do not rank for distributions.

Record Date

$95$ The Manager must determine the Record Date for the purpose of determining the persons who are entitled to the distribution. The total amount to be distributed in respect of an Accrual Period is to be transferred to a distribution account as soon as practicable after the Record Date. The payment by the Manager in respect of any Units of an amount of the Distributable Income calculated in accordance with this constitution in respect of those Units to the Member registered in respect of those Units as at the Record Date is a good and sufficient discharge to the Manager in respect of any liability it may have to any person in respect of any such entitlement with respect to those Units.

Distribution of Capital to Distribution Account

9.6 The Manager may transfer capital to the distribution account to enable the distribution to Members of the minimum amount necessary to avoid the Manager becoming assessable for tax under the Tax Act.

Other Distributions

9.7

Subject to any Class Rights, the Manager may distribute any amount of capital or income to Members pro rata according to the number of Units in the Trust held as at a time decided by the Manager. The distribution may be in eash or by way of bonus Units. While Stapling applies, the Manager may not make a distribution by way of bonus

Units unless, at the same time as the increase in the number of Units, Members are also issued an identical number of Attached Securities which when issued are then Stapled to the additional Units issued.

Reinvestment

9.8 If the Manager offers a facility under which Members may receive distributions by way of additional Units then, by prior notice, a Member may elect to reinvest some or all of any distribution by acquiring such additional Units in the Trust. In those cases, the Manager is treated as having received an application to reinvest distributions on that date on which the distribution is paid. The procedure for and the rules concerning reinvestment of distributions are to be determined by the Manager and notified to Members from time to time as and when the facility is offered. The Manager may at any time withdraw, amend or re-establish such a facility.

A request to participate in such a facility or cancellation of any such request is effective with respect to a distribution if received by the Manager before the Record Date for that distribution.

Reinvestment while Stapling applies

99 While Stapling applies no reinvestment may occur unless, contemporaneously with the reinvestment in additional Units, the Member subscribes for or purchases an identical number of Attached Securities which, when issued or acquired (respectively), are then Stapled to the additional Units. The Manager may make provision for and make payment of the subscription or purchase price for such Attached Securities out of the distribution or income (as applicable) which is otherwise available for reinvestment. Part of the application price of the Units may come from distributions or dividends paid on the Attached Securities.

Withholding Tax

$910$ Where the Net Income is reduced by any Tax attributable to the ownership of Units by certain Members, the entitlement to Distributable Income of those Members may be adjusted by the Manager so that the entitlement to Distributable Income of all other Members is equivalent to the amount they would receive in the absence of such Taxes.

Distributions Paid in Different Currencies

  • 9.11 The Manager may from time to time provide a facility under which a Member may, if the Member so requests, receive his entitlement to the Distributable Income of the Trust from time to time in a currency or currencies other than Australian dollars. The Manager may determine which currency or currencies are offered under the facility, the procedure by which the facility would be offered, and the procedure by which a Member would elect to participate in that facility. If the Manager does offer such a facility, the Manager may arrange to convert the entitlement to Distributable Income of a Member who participates in the facility into the currency in which it is to be paid on a date being:
    • $(a)$ the date that the Distributable Income in respect of an Accrual Period is determined;
(b) the Closing Date in respect of an Accrual Period;
(c) the date of payment of distribution entitlements in respect of anAccrual Period; or
(d) any other date as the Manager may determine.
The Manager may maintain bank accounts in any currencies as may beappropriate for this purpose.
Classes 9.12 The rights of a Member under this clause 9, are subject to anyapplicable Class Rights.
10 Payments
10.1 Money payable by the Manager to a Member may be paid in anymanner the Manager decides.
10.2 Without limitation to clause 10.1, if the Manager attempts to make apayment of money to a Member by electronic transfer and that transferis unsuccessful notwithstanding any instruction or agreement to thecontrary, the Manager may send that money by cheque to the Memberto the last known address of that Member.
10.3 The Manager may cancel any cheque which is not presented within 12months from its date of issue. Where a cheque which is cancelled wasdrawn in favour of a Member, the Manager may reinvest the money in

Units and Attached Securities in the name of that Member at the application price for the Units and Attached Securities prevailing at the time the cheque is cancelled or deal with the money in accordance with any relevant legislation dealing with unclaimed moneys.

  • $10.4$ Only whole cents are to be paid, and any remaining fraction of a cent becomes an Asset.
  • $10.5$ A payment to any one of joint Members will discharge the Manager in respect of the payment.
  • 10.6 The Manager may deduct from any amount to be paid to a Member, or received from a Member, any amount of Tax (or an estimate of it) or any other amount which the Manager is required or authorised to deduct in respect of that payment or receipt by any applicable law or by this constitution, or which the Manager considers should be deducted.

26A Stapling

Paramountcy of Stapling provisions

$26A.1$ The provisions of this constitution relating to Stapling prevail over all other provisions of this constitution including any that are expressed to prevail over others, except where this would result in a breach of the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules (if the Listing Rules apply) or any other law.

Maintenance of listing and consistency with constitutions of the Stapled Entities

26A.2 The Manager must use every reasonable endeavour to procure that, if the Stapled Securities are and continue to be Officially Quoted as one joint security, that the Stapled Securities are dealt with under this constitution in a manner consistent with the provisions relating to the Attached Securities in the constitutions of the Stapled Entities.

Stapling - general information

If the Manager determines that Stapling will apply, the Units are to be 26A.3 stapled to the Stapled Shares and the Stapled Units in the ratio of one Unit to one Stapled Share and one Stapled Unit as from the Stapling Commencement Date. The Manager must not cause Stapling to commence while the Trust has more than one Class of Units. The intention is that, so far as the law permits, a Unit, a Stapled Share and a Stapled Unit which are Stapled together will be treated as one security. If further Attached Securities are from time to time Stapled to the Units the intention is that, so far as the law permits, a Unit and one of each of the Attached Securities which are Stapled together will be treated as one security.

Implementation of Proposal

At any time upon and after the Effective Date, the Manager has power 27.1 to do all things which it considers are necessary, desirable or reasonably incidental to give effect to the Proposal in accordance with the Implementation Deed.

Express powers of Manager

  • $272$ Without limiting clause 27.1 but subject to clause 27.3 and despite any other provision in this constitution, the Manager has power:
    • $(a)$ on the Implementation Date to consolidate the Units in the ratio of each pre-consolidation Unit being converted into 0.28 post-consolidation Units with any resultant fraction of a Unit in a holding being rounded up to the next whole number of Units. In the case of Units which are acquired by the Investment Bank pursuant to the Sale Facility the number of post-consolidation Units which the Investment Bank is to receive will be rounded up as if the respective numbers of Units which the Investment Bank acquires pursuant to the Sale Facility from Members were separate holdings of those Members so that the Investment Bank will receive the same number of post-consolidation Units which the participants in the Sale Facility would have received in aggregate if they had respectively held the pre-consolidation Units on the Stapling Record Date;
    • $(b)$ immediately following the consolidation described in (a), but subject to (c), to pay to each Member, by way of a capital distribution, $1.01 per Unit held;
    • $(c)$ to apply all the respective distributions paid to each Member under (b) to acquire, on behalf of and in the name of that Member, an equivalent number of units in the Stapled Trust and an equivalent number of ordinary shares in the Stapled Company on the basis that the subscription price for each of those units and shares will be $1.00 and $0.01 respectively;
    • $(d)$ to procure that the Acquired Units and the Acquired Shares are registered in the name of the relevant Member with the result that the Member is bound:
      • $(i)$ by the terms of issue of the Acquired Units and the Acquired Shares (including, without limitation, restrictions which cause a Member's Units to be Stapled to Acquired Units and Acquired Shares); and
      • generally, by the constitution of the Stapled Company $(ii)$ and the Stapled Trust;
    • to the extent that this will facilitate Stapled Trust Unitholders $(e)$ and Stapled Company Shareholders holding an equivalent number of units and shares in each of the Stapled Company.

Stapled Trust and the Trust, to issue to Stapled Trust Unitholders (other than the Stapled Company and its subsidiaries) one Unit in respect of each $1.00 and Stapled Company Shareholders one Unit in respect of each 0.1 of a cent paid by or on that person's behalf in subscription for Units pursuant to the Implementation Deed with such new Units to rank pari passu with all of the existing Units including ranking for full participation in Distributable Income for the Accrual Period during which the Units are issued:

  • $(f)$ to issue to Members new holding statements or other evidence of entitlement in respect of Units of which the Member is the registered holder after the Proposal is implemented and, in the alternative, to issue or cooperate in the issuing of a single holding statement reflecting the Member's holding of Units, Acquired Units and Acquired Shares;
  • $\left( \mathbf{g} \right)$ to execute all documents and do all things which it considers necessary, desirable or reasonably incidental to give effect to the Proposal and to appoint any individual or individuals of its choosing to execute any such documents or do any such things.

Sale Facility

27.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause 27 where a Member has validly elected to participate in the Sale Facility or is a Designated Foreign Unitholder ("Sale Facility Participant"), the Manager must transfer the Units held by the Sale Facility Participant, or such number of those Units which are to be the subject of the Sale Facility, to the Investment Bank so that the Investment Bank will receive the distribution pursuant to clause 27.2(b) and apply that distribution in accordance with clause $27.2(c)$ in order to acquire the Acquired Units and Acquired Shares which would otherwise have been issued to the Sale Facility Participant and be obliged to provide to each Sale Facility Participant the Sale Consideration to which it is entitled.

Appointment as agent and attorney for Members

  • 27.4 At all times on and after the Effective Date, the Manager is irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney for each Member to do all things which the Manager considers are necessary, desirable or reasonably incidental to give effect to the Proposal.
  • 27.5 Without limiting clause 27.4, the Manager is irrevocably appointed as the agent and attorney of each Member to:
    • $(a)$ receive and apply the distributions referred to in clause $27.2(b)$ in the manner contemplated in clause $27.2(c)$ ;
    • $(b)$ execute an application form (which may be a master application form) in relation to the Acquired Units and the Acquired Shares;
    • act in accordance with clause 27.3; and $(c)$
    • $(d)$ execute transfers of Units which are to be the subject of the Sale Facility.

27.6 The Manager is authorised to execute the documents and do all things under clauses 27.2 and 27.3 without needing further authority or approval from Members and may do so even if it has an interest in the outcome of such exercise.

Manager's limitation of liability

27.7 Without derogating from any limitation of the Manager's liability in terms of this constitution, the Manager has no liability to Members of any nature whatsoever beyond the Assets whether arising, directly or indirectly, from the Manager doing or refraining from doing any act (including the execution of any document) in exercising its powers pursuant to this clause 27 in connection with the implementation of the Proposal in accordance with the Implementation Deed.

Options

  • 27.8 If following the Effective Date the Stapled Company or the Stapled Trust is under any obligation, whether actual or contingent, to issue shares or units in the future pursuant to any option or comparable arrangement to any person the Manager may:

    • $(a)$ give an undertaking to the Stapled Company and/ or the Stapled Trust Manager to issue Units at the same time to each person to whom shares in the Stapled Company and units in the Stapled Trust are to be issued to ensure that the person receives Stapled Securities, or
    • $(b)$ grant an option or comparable right to the person to acquire an equal number of Units to the number of shares in the Stapled Company and units in the Stapled Trust which the person is entitled to be issued on exercise of the option or comparable right, on the basis that the option or comparable right may only be exercised if required to ensure that the person receives Stapled Securities.
  • 27.9 The undertakings, options or rights which the Manager may issue pursuant to clause 27.8 may be issued without consideration. The price at which the Units are to be issued pursuant to the undertakings or upon the exercise of those options or rights is to be calculated as follows:

    • where an Executive Option is exercised and the Stapled $(a)$ Company elects to procure the issue of Stapled Securities to satisfy its obligations on exercise of that option, the issue price of a Unit is the WFT Proportion of the exercise price of that Executive Option (or if that Executive Option has a nil exercise price, the issue price of a Unit is the WFT Proportion of $13.76, being the volume weighted average sale price of a Stapled Share sold on ASX during the five trading day period up to but not including the Announcement Date);
    • $(b)$ where a Possfund Option is exercised and the Stapled Company elects to procure the issue of Stapled Securities to satisfy its obligations on exercise of that option, the issue price of a Unit is the WFT Proportion of $12.84, being the exercise price of a Possfund Option;
  • where exercise of a WFA Option is satisfied by delivery of a $(c)$ series F preferred share in Westfield America, Inc., an amount equal to the WFT Proportion of US$1,000 for each such WFA Option divided by the number of Units issued under clause 27.8 in respect of the exercise of that option:

  • $(d)$ where exercise of a WFA Option is satisfied by delivery of a series G cumulative convertible redeemable preferred share in Westfield America, Inc., an amount per Unit equal to the WFT Proportion of the value of that share in Westfield America, Inc. at the time of exercise of the WFA Option divided by the number of Units to be issued in relation to the exercise of that WFA Option;

  • $(e)$ where exercise of a WFA Option is satisfied by delivery of the number of common shares in Westfield America. Inc. into which a series G cumulative convertible redeemable preferred share has been converted, an amount per Unit equal to the WFT Proportion of the value of that share in Westfield America, Inc. at the time of exercise of the WFA Option divided by the number of Units to be issued in relation to the exercise of that WFA Option;

  • $(f)$ where exercise of a WFA Option is satisfied by delivery of a series D cumulative convertible redeemable preferred share in Westfield America, Inc., an amount per Unit equal to the WFT Proportion of the value of that share in Westfield America, Inc. at the time of exercise of the WFA Option divided by the number of Units to be issued in relation to the exercise of that WFA Option:

  • where exercise of a WFA Option is satisfied by delivery of the $\left( \mathbf{g} \right)$ number of common shares in Westfield America, Inc. into which a series D cumulative convertible redeemable preferred share has been converted, an amount per Unit equal to the WFT Proportion of the value of that share in Westfield America, Inc. at the time of exercise of the WFA Option divided by the number of Units to be issued in relation to the exercise of that WFA Option; or

  • $(h)$ where exercise of a WFA Option is satisfied by delivery of a common share in Westfield America, Inc., an amount per Unit equal to the WFT Proportion of the value of that share in Westfield America. Inc. at the time of exercise of the WFA Option divided by the number of Units to be issued in relation to the exercise of that WFA Option,

and in each case the issue price is to be adiusted in the same manner as any adjustment to the exercise price of the relevant option under the terms of that option.
