The Conversion Price and adjustment







 



	
8.1  

	
Initial Conversion Price







 



	
   (a)

	
The initial Conversion Price is A$0.50.







 



	
   (b)

	
The Conversion Price will be adjusted in accordance with clause 8.2.







 



	
8.2  

	
Adjustment of Conversion Price







 


The Conversion Price will from time to time be adjusted in accordance with the following provisions:


 



	
   (a)

	
Consolidation, sub-division or reclassification: If there is any consolidation, sub-division or reclassification of Ordinary Shares, the Conversion Price in force immediately prior to that event must be adjusted by multiplying it by the following fraction:







 



	
A


	
B







where:


 



	
  

	
A =

	
the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares on issue immediately before such  consolidation, reclassification or sub-division; and







 



	
  

	
B =

	
the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares on issue immediately after, and as a result of, such consolidation, reclassification or sub-division.







 


Each such adjustment will be effective from the close of business on the day immediately preceding the date on which the consolidation, reclassification or sub-division becomes effective.


 



	
   (b)

	
Issue of Equity Securities: If the Company issues any Equity Securities (other than Ordinary Shares), and the Effective Consideration per Share receivable for such Equity Securities is less than the Conversion Price in force, the Conversion Price will be adjusted to equal that lower Effective Consideration per Share. Each such adjustment will be effective as at the date on which such issue of Equity Securities takes effect.







 



	
   (c)

	
Issue of Ordinary Shares: If the Company issues any Ordinary Shares at a price per Ordinary Share which is less than the Conversion Price in force, the Conversion Price will be adjusted to equal that lower price. Each such adjustment will be effective as at the date on which such issue takes effect.







 



	
   (d)

	
Other events: If the Noteholders:







 



	
(1)  

	
disagree with the amount of any adjustment to the Conversion Price made by the Company as a result of an event or circumstance referred to in this clause 8.2; or







 



	
(2)  

	
determine that an adjustment should be made to the Conversion Price as a result of one or more events or circumstances not referred to in this clause 8.2,







 


the Noteholders may give a written notice to the Company (copied to the Security Trustee) setting out in reasonable detail, the adjustment to the Conversion Price taking into account the relevant event or circumstance (Adjustment Notice).


 


The Company and the Noteholders must use reasonable endeavours to agree the adjustment to the Conversion Price. If the Company and the Noteholders cannot agree on that adjustment within 10 Business Days of the date of the Adjustment Notice, the Company must appoint an Independent Expert to determine the fair and reasonable adjustment to the Conversion Price after taking into account the relevant event or circumstance. Each such adjustment (provided that the adjustment would result in a reduction in the Conversion Price) will take effect in accordance with the Independent Expert’s determination.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this agreement, no adjustment will be made to the Conversion Price when Ordinary Shares or other Equity Securities are issued, offered or granted pursuant to an Excluded Issue.







 



	
   (b)

	
An adjustment to the Conversion Price must not involve an increase in the Conversion Price (except upon any consolidation of the Shares pursuant to clause 8.2(a)) and where an adjustment may be made under more than one clause, the Company or Independent Expert (as applicable) must apply the adjustment mechanism that results in the greatest reduction to the Conversion Price.







 



	
   (c)

	
Any adjustment to the Conversion Price must be made to the nearest one tenth of one cent so that any amount under one fiftieth of a cent will be rounded down and any amount of one fiftieth of a cent or more will be rounded up.







 



	
8.4

   (b)

   (c)

	
In the absence of manifest error, the Independent Expert decision will be conclusive and binding on the Company and the Noteholders and all persons claiming through or under them respectively.







 



	
   (d)

	
For so long as any amount of the Notes remains outstanding, the Company must make available for inspection at the Company’s offices a signed copy of the Independent Expert’s determination and a certificate signed by a director of the Company setting out brief particulars of the event giving rise to the adjustment, the Conversion Price in force prior to such adjustment, the adjusted Conversion Price and the effective date of such adjustment.
