these rules.






	3	 	Administration of Plan
	 
	3.1	 	Trustee and Board to administer Plan






	 	(a)	 	Unless the Board makes a determination to the contrary, the Plan is to be
administered by the Remuneration Committee and to the extent specified under schedule
3, the Trustee, in accordance with these rules. In the absence of such a
determination by the Board, references in these rules (or in any Invitation issued
under these rules) to the Board, except for those provided in rules 3.3, 3.6 and 5,
shall be replaced with references to the Remuneration Committee in each such place
that it occurs. For the avoidance of doubt, the Remuneration Committee may make
further provisions for the operation of the Plan which are consistent with these
rules.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Notwithstanding (a), the Remuneration Committee shall administer the Plan
and any Invitations with respect to grants of Options, Performance Rights,
Performance Shares, Awards and/or RSUs made to Covered Employees. Furthermore, in
respect of such grants of Options, Performance Rights, Performance Shares, Awards
and/or RSUs made to Covered Employees, any references in these rules (or in any
Invitation issued under these rules) to the Board, except for those provided in rules
3.3, 3.6 and 5, shall be replaced with Remuneration Committee in each such place that
it occurs.






	3.2	 	Board powers and discretions
	 
	 	 	Any power or discretion which is conferred on the Board by these rules must be exercised
by the Board in the interests or for the benefit of the Company, and the Board is not, in
exercising any power or discretion, under any fiduciary or other obligation to any other
person.
	 
	3.3	 	Delegation of Board powers and discretions
	 
	 	 	Any power or discretion which is conferred on the Board by these rules including the power

delegated by the Board to:

the Company, or any combination of such persons as the Board thinks fit;
	 
	 	(b)	 	a related body corporate of the Company; or
	 
	 	(c)	 	a third party,






	 	 	for such periods and on such conditions as the Board thinks fit.

	3.4	 	Documents
	 
	 	 	The Company may from time to time require a person invited to participate in the Plan or a
Participant to complete and return such other documents as may be required by law to be

considers should, for legal, taxation or administrative reasons, be completed by that
person or Participant.
	 
	3.5	 	Board decision: final and conclusive
	 
	 	 	The decision of the Board as to the interpretation, effect or application of these rules

conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error.
	 
	3.6	 	Suspension of Plan
	 
	 	 	The Board may from time to time suspend the operation of the Plan and may at any time
cancel the Plan. The suspension or cancellation of the Plan must not prejudice the
existing rights (if any) of Participants.
	 
	3.7	 	Manner of exercise of Remuneration Committee authority






	 	(a)	 	The Remuneration Committee, and not the Board, shall exercise sole and
exclusive discretion on any matter relating to a Participant then subject to Section
16 of the U.S. Exchange Act with respect to the Company to the extent necessary in
order that transactions by that Participant shall be exempt under Rule 16b-3 under
the U.S. Exchange Act and that the grant and payment of Awards qualify as
“performance-based compensation” for purposes of Code section 162(m).
	 
	 	(b)	 	Any action of the Remuneration Committee shall be final, conclusive and
binding on all persons, including the Company, its Executives, their beneficiaries or
other persons claiming rights from or through an Executive, and shareholders.
	 
	 	(c)	 	The express grant of any specific power to the Remuneration Committee, and
the taking of any action by the Remuneration Committee, shall not be construed as
limiting any power or authority of the Remuneration Committee.
	 
	 	(d)	 	The Remuneration Committee may delegate to officers or managers of the
Company, or any committees thereof, the authority (subject to such terms as the
Remuneration Committee shall determine), to perform such functions, including
administrative functions, as the Remuneration Committee may determine, to the extent
that such delegation will not:






	 	(i)	 	result in the loss of an exemption under Rule 16b-3(d)(1)
for Options, Performance Rights, Performance Shares, Awards or RSUs granted
to Participants subject to Section 16 of the U.S. Exchange Act in respect of
the Company; or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	cause Options, Performance Rights, Performance Shares,
Awards or RSUs which are intended to qualify as





			
	 	 	 
	ã Mallesons Stephen Jaques  |  Long Term Incentive Plan
	 	7






 









 







	 	 	 	“performance-based
compensation” under U.S. Revenue Code Section 162(m) to fail to so qualify.

	 	 	If:






	 	(a)	 	a Participant’s employment agreement provides that the Participant will
commence as a consultant to a Group Company on ceasing employment with the Company;
and
	 
	 	(b)	 	on ceasing employment with the Company, the Participant commences as a
consultant to a Group Company in accordance with that agreement,






	 	 	then, unless the terms of the Participant’s Invitation provide otherwise,






	 	(c)	 	the Participant is deemed to continue as an employee of the Company for the
purposes of these rules; and
	 
	 	(d)	 	the Participant will cease to be an employee for the purposes of these
rules when the Participant ceases to be a consultant to that Group Company.






	4	 	Restrictions on the Plan
	 
	4.1	 	Compliance with Applicable Regulations
	 
	 	 	Despite any other provision of these rules or any term or condition of the participation
of any Participant in the Plan, no Share may be acquired by the Trustee or transferred to
a Participant or other person, no Performance Right, Option or RSU may be granted or
exercised, no Award may be granted and no Payout may be made if to do so would contravene
any Applicable Regulations.
	 
	4.2	 	Restriction on the size of the Plan
	 
	 	 	The Board must not issue an Invitation to apply for Options, issue Shares on the exercise
of Performance Rights, cause the Trustee of the Performance Share Plan to subscribe for
Shares, or grant RSUs if the number of Shares the subject of the Invitation to apply for
Options, the exercise of the Performance Rights, the subscription for shares by the
Trustee of the Performance Share Plan, or the grant of RSUs when added to:






	 	(a)	 	the number of Shares which would be issued if all outstanding Options, and
all Options which may be granted pursuant to the
acceptance of any outstanding Invitation to apply for Options, were exercised;
	 
	 	(b)	 	the number of Shares issued to the Trustee of the Performance Share Plan
and which remain held in that Trust; and
	 
	 	(c)	 	the number of Shares which would be issued if all outstanding RSUs vested,





			
	 	 	 
	ã Mallesons Stephen Jaques  |  Long Term Incentive Plan
	 	8






 









 







	 	 	but disregarding:






	 	(d)	 	any Invitation made, or Option acquired or Share issued by way of or as a
result of an Invitation to a Participant situated outside Australia at the time of
receipt of the relevant Invitation,






	 	 	would exceed 5% of the total number of issued Shares at the relevant date.






	4.3	 	Incentive Stock Option Limits
	 
	 	 	Notwithstanding anything in this rule 4 to the contrary, but subject to any adjustments
provided for in Schedules 2 and 5 of these rules, or as approved by Shareholders from time
to time, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan as a
result of the exercise of Incentive Stock Options shall be 8 million Shares.
	 
	4.4	 	Application of Limitation to Grants of Award






	 	(a)	 	No Option, Performance Right, Performance Share, Award or RSU may be
granted if:






	 	(i)	 	the number of Shares to be delivered in connection with
such an Option, Performance Right, Performance Share, Award or RSU; or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	in the case of an Option, Performance Right, Performance
Share, Award or RSU relating to Shares but settled only in cash (such as
cash-only Awards), the number of Shares to which such Option, Performance
Right, Performance Share, Award and/or RSU relates,






	 	 	 	exceeds the number of Shares remaining available for delivery under the Plan,
minus the number of Shares deliverable in settlement of or relating to then
outstanding Options, Performance Rights, Performance Shares, Awards and/or RSUs.






	 	(b)	 	The Board may adopt reasonable counting procedures to ensure appropriate
counting, avoid double counting (as, for example, in the case of tandem or substitute
awards) and make adjustments if the number of Shares actually delivered differs from
the number of Shares previously counted in connection with an Option, Performance
Right, Performance Share, Award and/or RSU.






	4.5	 	Per-Person Award Limitations
	 
	 	 	Subject to any adjustments provided for in Schedules 2 and 5 of these rules, in any
financial year of the Company during any part of which the Plan is in effect, no
Participant may be granted Options, Performance Rights, Performance Shares, Awards or RSUs
with respect to more than 2 million Shares. In addition, the maximum dollar value payable
to any one Participant with respect to Awards (or with respect to any Performance Rights
payable in cash) is US$5 million.

	 	(b)	 	to correct any manifest error or mistake;
	 
	 	(c)	 	to enable contributions or other amounts paid by a member of the Group to

be payable by the Trustee or the Employer in relation to the Plan;
	 
	 	(e)	 	for the purpose of enabling the Participants generally (but not necessarily
each Participant) to receive a more favourable taxation treatment in respect of their
participation in the Plan; or
	 
	 	(f)	 	to enable the Plan or any member of the Group to comply with Applicable
Regulations.






	5.3	 	Retrospective amendment possible

	 	(d)	 	any other rules of this Plan, if so required by the U.S. Revenue Code, the
U.S. Exchange Act, the New York Stock Exchange (or other automated quotation system
on which the Shares may then be listed or quoted) and/or any other applicable U.S.
laws or regulations,






	 	 	such amendments shall be subject to the approval of the Company’s shareholders not later
than the next annual meeting following such Board action.






	6	 	Termination of the Plan
	 
	 	 	The Plan terminates and is to be wound up (as provided below) on the earliest of:






	 	(a)	 	if an order is made or an effective resolution is passed for the winding up
of the Company other than for the purpose of amalgamation or reconstruction;
	 
	 	(b)	 	if the Board determines that the Plan is to be wound up; or

Trustee, the Company or any other person, as a consequence of termination of the
Executive’s employment or appointment or otherwise, except under and in accordance with

	4.2	 	Vesting Conditions and Exercise Condition
	 
	 	 	Subject to paragraph 6, if an Option is subject to a Vesting Condition and/or an Exercise
Condition, it may not be exercised unless all Vesting Conditions and Exercise Conditions

	 	 	Unless the Exercise Period expires at an earlier date or the Terms of Issue provide
otherwise, a Participant’s Option lapses on the latest of:

	 	(b)	 	the expiry of 24 months after the Participant ceases to be employed by a
Group Company by reason of Retirement or permanent disability;
	 
	 	(c)	 	the expiry of 3 months after the Participant ceases to be employed by a
Group Company for any other reason; and
	 
	 	(d)	 	if the Board extends the time during which the Option may be exercised

(other than by reason of his or her death), then (subject to the other provisions of this
paragraph 4):






	 	(a)	 	if the employment ceases by reason of Retirement, Redundancy, Separation or
otherwise for termination by the relevant Group Company other than in circumstances
set out in paragraph 4.11 the Participant may:






	 	(i)	 	exercise a Vested Option at any time from the date of
cessation of employment until it lapses pursuant to paragraph 4.4 or 4.5,
except a Vested Option is deemed to have lapsed on the date of cessation of
employment where the Board reasonably determines and provides notice to the
Participant in writing that the Vested Option has lapsed and the Company has
no obligation to issue the Shares to which the Vested Option relates
following any purported exercise of the Vested Option; or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	if permitted by the Board in writing, exercise an Option
that is not a Vested Option from the date of cessation of employment until
it lapses; or






	 	(b)	 	if the employment ceases for a reason other than Retirement, Redundancy,
Separation or otherwise for termination by the relevant Group Company other than in
circumstances set out in paragraph 4.11 the Participant may exercise any unexercised

until the individual is no longer an employee of any Group Company, whether or not in
the same capacity as at the time the Option was granted; and

must be such as to reflect in relation to the Shares comprised in an Option the
adjustments which on the occasions in question are progressively effective in relation to
Shares already on issue. All adjustment calculations are to be to four decimal places and
in the case of the Exercise Price (if any), to four decimal places expressed in cents.

	7.5	 	Cumulation of adjustments
	 
	 	 	Full effect must be given to these paragraphs 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 as and when occasions of
their application arise and in such manner that the effects of the successive applications
of them are cumulative, the intention being that the adjustments they progressively effect
must be such as to reflect in relation to the Shares comprised in a Performance Right the
adjustments which on the occasions in question are progressively effective in relation to
Shares already on issue. All adjustment calculations are to be to four decimal places and
in the case of the Exercise Price (if any), to four decimal places expressed in cents.
	 
	 	 	Unless otherwise provided in these rules, a Participant has no right to:






	 	(a)	 	change the Exercise Price of the Performance Right; or

	 	 	the Participant is not insolvent or subject to a resolution or order for winding up.
	 
	4.12	 	Shares/CUFS held in Reserve Account
	 
	 	 	Where Shares or CUFS are forfeited under this paragraph 4, the Trustee may either hold

reasonably obtainable for that Participant’s Shares in the market at the time of sale.
	 
	4.16	 	Proceeds of sale deduction

	10.7	 	Good faith
	 
	 	 	Any transfer, distribution or payment made in good faith to a person believed by the
Trustee to be entitled to receive it is, for the purposes of these rules, deemed to be a

payment.

	 	 	The Trustee, or any director or other officer of the Trustee, may exercise or concur in
exercising all powers and discretions conferred on the Trustee, director or officer (as

relevant Performance Shares or other property, or make payment of all or part of the
relevant amount (as the case may be), to any other person as the Trustee, in its sole
discretion, sees fit, to be held for the benefit of the Participant or person otherwise
entitled. The Trustee is not liable for or responsible for seeing to the subsequent
application of the Performance Shares or other property transferred or amounts paid, and
the receipt of the recipient, transferee or payee is a good discharge.
	 
	10.10	 	Unfettered powers and discretion
	 
	 	 	The Trustee in the exercise of the powers and discretions vested in it by these rules has
an absolute and uncontrolled discretion and may exercise or enforce all or any of those

	10.11	 	Extension of time
	 
	 	 	Without limiting paragraph 10.10, the Trustee has a discretion to extend the period within

Participant under these rules where, in all the circumstances, the Trustee considers that
it would unfairly prejudice the Participant or their estate not to do so.
	 
	10.12	 	Remuneration of Trustee
	 
	 	 	The Trustee is not entitled to receive from the Performance Share Plan any commission or
other remuneration in respect of its office, but the Company may if it thinks fit pay to

negligence or incompetence in the performance of the Participant’s duties; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	is convicted of a criminal offence (other than a minor motor traffic

Participant ceases to be an Executive bears to the period from the Acceptance Date to the
Prescribed Qualification Date.

	 	(c)	 	whether the RSUs will vest as CUFS or Shares;
	 
	 	(d)	 	any Vesting Condition; and
	 
	 	(e)	 	any Supplementary Condition.






	2	 	Grant of RSUs
	 
	2.1	 	Company to grant RSUs
	 
	 	 	On receipt of an application for RSUs, the Company at the discretion of the Board may
grant RSUs to the Executive specified in the Invitation, subject to the Terms and
Conditions of RSU Grant.
	 
	2.2	 	Certificate or statement
	 
	 	 	Following the grant of RSUs under paragraph 2.1, the Company will issue to the Participant

each Tranche;
	 
	 	(d)	 	the Vesting Period;
	 
	 	(e)	 	other terms and conditions (if any) as determined by the Board.






	2.3	 	Restrictions on dealing with RSUs

Security Interest, unless the Board in its absolute discretion approves the dealing, or
the transfer or transmission is effected by force of law on death or legal incapacity to
the Participant’s legal personal representative.




	3	 	Register of RSUs
	 
	 	 	Unless the Board determines otherwise, RSUs granted under these rules (and Shares or CUFS
issued on their vesting) will be registered in the appropriate register of the Company.
	 
	4	 	Operation of RSUs
	 
	4.1	 	Terms and Conditions
	 
	 	 	Unless otherwise prohibited from doing so under this paragraph 4, a Participant may be
granted a Participant’s RSU in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of RSU Grant.
	 
	 	 	No consideration will be payable on the grant of an RSU unless otherwise specified in the
Terms and Conditions of RSU Grant.
	 
	4.2	 	Vesting Conditions
	 
	 	 	Subject to paragraph 6, if an RSU is subject to a Vesting Condition, it may not vest
unless all Vesting Conditions are satisfied (and in any situation referred to in paragraph
4.3(b)(i), is satisfied at the time of death or other cessation of employment).
	 
	4.3	 	Vesting date






An RSU will vest only on or after:




	 	(a)	 	the Prescribed Vesting Date for the RSU; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	any earlier date on which the RSU vests:






	 	(i)	 	under this paragraph 4 dealing with the Participant’s
death or otherwise ceasing to be employed by a Group Company, and with
situations where the employer ceases to be a Group Company or the business
in which the Participant is employed is transferred; or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	under paragraph 6 dealing with takeover bids, change of
control, court orders, Reorganisation and winding up.






	4.4	 	RSU will lapse earlier on death or cessation of employment

otherwise, in the event of death, Retirement, Redundancy, Separation or otherwise for
termination by the relevant Group Company other than in circumstances set out in paragraph
4.9 by the Participant, a pro-rata number of the Participant’s unvested RSUs will lapse
automatically on the relevant day, calculated based on the formula:





			
	 	 	 
	Ó Mallesons Stephen Jaques | Long Term Incentive Plan
	 	74






 









 







D = C x (A / B)




Where:




A = the number of months from the relevant event to, depending on the type of
RSU, the date of vesting (for RSUs with time vesting) or the first testing date
(for RSUs with a performance hurdle);




B = depending on the type of RSU, the vesting period calculated in months (for
RSUs with time vesting) or the number of months from the date the RSU was granted
until the first testing date (for RSUs with a performance hurdle);




C = the number of RSUs in the relevant tranche; and




D = the number of RSUs which lapse automatically.




Unless the remaining RSUs vest at an earlier date or the Terms and Conditions of RSU Grant
provide otherwise, a Participant’s remaining RSUs will lapse on the earlier of:




	 	(a)	 	the expiry of 24 months after the Participant’s death, or the Participant
ceases to be employed by a Group Company by reason of Retirement or permanent
disability; and
	 
	 	(b)	 	the date they would have expired had the Participant remained employed,






provided that if the Board issues a notice under paragraph 4.5 or 4.6 advising the
Participant that a RSU has lapsed, the RSU is deemed to have lapsed on the date of death
or cessation of employment (as the case may be) and the Company has no obligation to issue
the Shares to which the RSU relates following any purported vesting of the RSU.




	4.5	 	Vesting of RSUs on Participant’s death
	 
	 	 	If a Participant dies before an RSU vests, at a time when the individual:






	 	(a)	 	is still an employee of a Group Company; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	having ceased to be employed by a Group Company, falls within the terms of
paragraph 4.6,






then (subject to the other provisions of this paragraph 4):




	 	(c)	 	the Participant may be entitled to the vesting of an RSU at any time from
the date of death until it lapses pursuant to paragraph 4.4, except a RSU is deemed
to have lapsed on the date of death where the Board reasonably determines and
provides notice to the Participant in writing that the RSU has lapsed and the Company
has no obligation to issue the Shares to which the RSU relates; or
	 
	 	(d)	 	if permitted by the Board in writing, an RSU that is not a Vested RSU may
vest at any time from the date of death until it lapses.

	4.6	 	Vesting of an RSU on ceasing to be employed by a Group Company
	 
	 	 	If a Participant ceases to be employed by a Group Company (other than by reason of his or
her death), then (subject to the other provisions of this paragraph 4):






	 	(a)	 	if the employment ceases by reason of Retirement, Redundancy, Separation or
in the circumstances set out in paragraph 4.7 or otherwise for termination by the
relevant Group Company other than in circumstances set out in paragraph 4.9:






	 	(i)	 	the Participant may be entitled to a Vested RSU at any
time from the date of cessation of employment until it lapses pursuant to
paragraph 4.4, except a RSU is deemed to have lapsed on the date of
cessation of employment where the Board reasonably determines and provides
notice to the Participant in writing that the RSU has lapsed and the Company
has no obligation to issue the Shares to which the RSU relates following any
purported vesting of the RSU; or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	then if permitted by the Board in writing, a RSU that is
not a Vested RSU may vest from the date of cessation of employment until it
lapses; or






	 	(b)	 	if the employment ceases for a reason other than Retirement, Redundancy,
Separation or in the circumstances set out in paragraph 4.7 or otherwise for
termination by the relevant Group Company other than in circumstances set out in
paragraph 4.9 any unvested RSU will lapse automatically.






	4.6A	 	Lapsed RSUs do not vest
	 
	 	 	Notwithstanding any other provisions of these rules, a RSU which has lapsed will not vest.






	4.7	 	Individual not treated as ceasing to be an employee
	 
	 	 	For the purposes of this paragraph 4 and subject to paragraph 4.8, a Participant is not
treated as ceasing to be an employee of a Group Company if the individual is no longer an
employee of any Group Company because:






	 	(a)	 	the individual’s employer ceases to be a Group Company, whether or not,
after the cessation, the individual remains an employee of that employer; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	the individual is an employee of a business that is transferred to a person
that is not a Group Company.






	4.8	 	RSU lapses if employer ceases to be a Group Company or on change in ownership of business
	 
	 	 	If a Participant is no longer an employee of a Group Company because of the occurrence of
either of the circumstances set out in paragraph 4.7(a) or (b), the Participant’s RSUs
lapse on the basis set out in paragraph 4.4, as if the applicable circumstance in
paragraph 4.7(a) or (b) was the death, Retirement,





			
	 	 	 
	Ó Mallesons Stephen Jaques | Long Term Incentive Plan

	 	 	Redundancy, Separation or other termination of the Participant’s employment by the
relevant Group Company.
	 
	4.9	 	RSU may lapse in the case of fraud, dishonesty or voluntary resignation
	 
	 	 	If a Participant:






	 	(a)	 	in the opinion of the Board has committed (or it is evident the Participant
intends to commit), any act (whether by omission or commission) which amounts or
would amount to any of dishonesty, fraud, wilful misconduct, wilful breach of duty,
serious and wilful negligence or incompetence in the performance of the Participant’s
duties; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	in the opinion of the Board is convicted of a criminal offence (other than
a minor motor traffic offence or other trivial offence which does not impact on the
Participant’s good fame and character or ability to perform his/her duties) or is
guilty of any other wilful or recklessly indifferent conduct which, in the reasonable
opinion of the Board, may injure or tend to injure the reputation and/or the business
or operations of a Group Company; or
	 
	 	(c)	 	resigns voluntarily from a Group Company,






the Board may declare that any unvested RSU has lapsed, and the RSU lapses accordingly.




	4.10	 	No vesting of RSU on bankruptcy
	 
	 	 	It is a condition precedent to the vesting of a RSU that if the Participant is an
individual, the Participant is not bankrupt and has not committed an act of bankruptcy or,
if the Participant is deceased, the Participant’s estate is not bankrupt or if the
Participant is not an individual, the Participant is not insolvent or subject to a
resolution or order for winding up.
	 
	4.11	 	Discretion to determine that RSU will not lapse
	 
	 	 	Notwithstanding any other paragraph in this Schedule 5, if a Participant ceases employment
with the Company for any reason, or gives notice of their intention to cease employment
with the Company, subject to the provisions in Schedule 6, if applicable, or the Company
which employs a Participant ceases to be a Group Company for any reason, the Board or the
Remuneration Committee may in its absolute discretion (on any conditions which it thinks
fit) decide that some or all of the unvested RSUs held by the Participant do not lapse,
but lapse at the time and subject to the conditions it may specify by notice to the
Participant, which may include one or more of the following:






	 	(a)	 	that the period to which any Vesting Condition relates is reduced to a
period shorter than that which would otherwise apply;
	 
	 	(b)	 	that any Vesting Condition is waived or modified; and





			
	 	 	 
	Ó Mallesons Stephen Jaques | Long Term Incentive Plan
	 	77






 









 







	 	(c)	 	that a RSU which vests in accordance with the terms and conditions
specified in the notice may vest within the period specified in paragraph 4.4 or any
shorter period specified in the notice.






	5	 	Delivery of Shares on vesting of RSUs
	 
	5.1	 	Issue or transfer
	 
	 	 	Subject to paragraphs 5.4 and 5.5 within 15 Business Days after the vesting of a
Participant’s RSU, the Company will issue or transfer to the Participant the number of
Shares comprised in each RSU (expressed to four decimal places) multiplied by the number
of RSUs vested by that Participant rounded down to the nearest whole number of Shares.
Subject to the Listing Rules, if a Participant requests that they are allocated CUFS in
respect of the Shares to be issued or transferred, the Company will do everything
practicable to promptly facilitate the issue of CUFS to the Participant in respect of
those Shares.
	 
	5.2	 	Shares issued by the Company to rank pari passu
	 
	 	 	All Shares issued on the vesting of a Participant’s RSUs will rank pari passu in all
respects with the Shares of the same class for the time being on issue except for any
rights attaching to the Shares by reference to a record date prior to the date of their
allotment.
	 
	5.3	 	Shares to be quoted on ASX
	 
	 	 	If Shares of the same class as those issued on the vesting of a Participant’s RSUs are
quoted on the ASX, the Company will apply to the ASX as required by the Listing Rules for
those Shares to be quoted.
	 
	5.4	 	Restriction as to dealing
	 
	 	 	Where the Shares referred to in paragraph 5.1 are subject (pursuant to the Terms and
Conditions of RSU Grant) to any restriction as to disposal or other dealing by the
Participant for any period, the Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate
that complies with Applicable Regulations to ensure compliance by the Participant with
this restriction.
	 
	5.5	 	Participant’s agreement
	 
	 	 	By applying for and being granted RSUs under these rules, each Participant undertakes that
while the Shares acquired by the Participant as a result of the vesting of RSUs are
subject to any restriction procedure prescribed under paragraph 5.4, the Participant will
not take any action or permit another person to take any action to remove the restriction
procedure.
	 
	5.6	 	Expiry of restriction
	 
	 	 	Upon the expiry of any restriction over a Share, the Company will take all actions
necessary to ensure that the Participant can deal with the Share.

	 	 	Subject to the provisions in Schedule 6, if applicable, if, under any of the following
provisions of this paragraph 6 (in connection with a takeover bid, change of control,
proposed Reorganisation or winding up) the Board, in its absolute discretion, gives notice
that any or all of the Participant’s RSUs may vest as determined by the Board within a
particular time, then, subject to the applicable provisions of paragraph 4 (except
paragraph 4.2), the RSUs may vest within that time in addition to any other period during
which the RSUs vest.
	 
	6.2	 	Change of control
	 
	 	 	If, pursuant to a takeover bid or otherwise, a Control Event occurs prior to vesting of
RSUs:






	 	(a)	 	the Board may determine in its absolute discretion, and subject to any
conditions that it determines, that all or a portion of the RSUs have vested; and
	 
	 	(b)	 	any RSUs held by a participant which the Board has not accelerated so that
they are vested following a Control Event will lapse, and the Participant will be
treated as having never held any right or interest in those RSUs.






	6.3	 	Compulsory acquisition, Reorganisation or winding up
	 
	 	 	If:






	 	(a)	 	a person becomes bound or entitled to compulsorily acquire Shares under the
Articles of Association or Applicable Regulations;
	 
	 	(b)	 	a Reorganisation is sanctioned by one or more of the following under the
Articles of Association, Applicable Regulations or otherwise:






	 	(i)	 	a court;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	a General Meeting or other meeting of holders of the
Company’s securities; or
	 
	 	(iii)	 	a meeting of the Company’s creditors; or






	 	(c)	 	the Company passes a resolution for voluntary winding up or an order is
made for the compulsory winding up of the Company,

rata to shareholders of securities of the Company as a result of holding the RSU.
	 
	7.2	 	Sub-division, consolidation, reduction or return
	 
	 	 	If there is any reorganisation, including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction or
return of the issued capital of the Company, the number of RSUs to which each Participant
is entitled will be adjusted in the way specified by the Listing Rules for options from
time to time.
	 
	7.3	 	No right to participate in new issues
	 
	 	 	Subject to the preceding paragraphs, during the currency of a Participant’s RSU and before
its vests, the Participant is not entitled to participate in any new issue of securities
of the Company as a result of holding the RSU.
	 
	7.4	 	Cumulation of adjustments
	 
	 	 	Full effect must be given to these paragraphs 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 as and when occasions of
their application arise and in such manner that the effects of the successive applications
of them are cumulative, the intention being that the adjustments they progressively effect
must be such as to reflect in relation to the Shares comprised in an RSU the adjustments
which on the occasions in question are progressively effective in relation to Shares
already on issue. All adjustment calculations are to be to four decimal places.
	 
	 	 	Unless otherwise provided in these rules, a Participant has no right to change the number
of Shares over which the RSU vests.

Schedule 6 — Provisions applicable only to U.S. Executives





	1	 	General






	 	(a)	 	Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan (including any Schedules thereto)
or any Invitation to the contrary, the terms and conditions specified in this
Schedule 6 shall apply to all Invitations for Options, Performance Rights,
Performance Shares and/or Awards granted to each Participant who is a U.S. Executive
at the time of the grant.
	 
	 	(b)	 	The provisions of this Schedule 6 incorporate the provisions of Schedules
1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 except that, in the event of any conflict between a term and/or
condition of the Plan (or any Invitation) and this Schedule 6, the provisions of this
Schedule 6 shall prevail to the extent of the conflict.






	2	 	Options
	 
	2.1	 	Additional terms and conditions
	 
	 	 	The Board is authorized to grant Options to any U.S. Executive in accordance with Schedule
1 and including the following terms and conditions:






	 	(a)	 	Exercise Price. The Exercise Price payable under an Option shall be
determined by the Board, provided that such Exercise Price shall not be less than
100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date of the Option. If the
U.S. Executive owns or is deemed to own (by reason of the attribution rules
applicable under Section 424(d) of the U.S. Revenue Code) more than 10% of the
combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company (or any parent
corporation or subsidiary corporation of the Company, as those terms are defined in
Sections 424(e) and (f) of the U.S. Revenue Code, respectively) and an Incentive
Stock Option is granted to such U.S. Executive, the Exercise Price of such Incentive
Stock Option (to the extent required by the U.S. Revenue Code at the time of grant)
shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value a Share on the Grant Date.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Incentive Stock Options. The terms of any Incentive Stock Option granted
under the Plan shall comply in all respects with the provisions of Section 422 of the
U.S. Revenue Code. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, no term of
the Plan relating to Incentive Stock Options shall be interpreted, amended or
altered, nor shall any discretion or authority granted under the Plan be exercised,
so as to disqualify either the Plan or any Incentive Stock Option under Section 422
of the U.S. Revenue Code, unless the Executive has first requested, or consents to,
the change that will result in such

	 	 	 	disqualification. Thus, if and to the extent required to comply with Section 422
of the U.S. Revenue Code, Options granted as Incentive Stock Options shall be
subject to the following special terms and conditions:






	 	(i)	 	Incentive Stock Options shall only be granted to a U.S.
Executive of the Company who, on the Grant Date, is an employee of a Group
Company.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	The Invitation shall specify that no disposition of the
Shares acquired upon exercise of the Incentive Stock Option by the U.S.
Executive shall be allowed within one year from the Prescribed Exercise Date
and two years from the Grant Date.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	The Incentive Stock Option shall not be granted within
10 years from the Effective Date of the Plan, or the date the Plan is
approved by the shareholders, whichever is earlier.
	 
	 	(iv)	 	The Incentive Stock Option shall not be exercisable more
than ten years after the date such Incentive Stock Option is granted;
provided, however, that if an U.S. Executive owns or is deemed to own (by
reason of the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the U.S. Revenue Code)
more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the
Company (or any parent corporation or subsidiary corporation of the Company,
as those terms are defined in Sections 424(e) and (f) of the U.S. Revenue
Code, respectively) and the Incentive Stock Option is granted to such U.S.
Executive, the term of the Incentive Stock Option shall be (to the extent
required by the U.S. Revenue Code at the time of the grant) for no more than
five years from the date of grant.
	 
	 	(v)	 	The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the
Grant Date of the Incentive Stock Option) of the Shares with respect to
which Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan and all other option
plans of the Company (and any parent corporation or subsidiary corporation
of the Company, as those terms are defined in Sections 424(e) and (f) of the
U.S. Revenue Code, respectively) that become exercisable for the first time
by the U.S. Executive during any calendar year shall not (to the extent
required by the U.S. Revenue Code at the time of the grant) exceed
US$100,000.
	 
	 	(vi)	 	An Incentive Stock Option shall not be transferable by
such U.S. Executive otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution, and is exercisable, during the U.S. Executive’s lifetime, only
by such U.S. Executive.
	 
	 	(vii)	 	An Incentive Stock Option shall not be exercisable more
than three months after the U.S. Executive ceases to be employed by a Group
Company. However, if such cessation is on account of the U.S. Executive’s
disability (within the

	 	 	 	meaning of Section 22 of the U.S. Revenue Code), the three months shall
be extended to 12 months.






	2.2	 	Adjustments
	 
	 	 	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Board shall not make any adjustments to
Options under Section 7.2 of Schedule 2 that would cause any adverse tax treatment to any
Participant under Section 409A of the U.S. Revenue Code or that would be in contravention
of any U.S. securities laws or any rules and regulations under the New York Stock Exchange
or any exchange on which the Shares of the Company are listed.
	 
	3	 	Performance Rights
	 
	3.1	 	Additional terms and conditions
	 
	 	 	The Board is authorized to grant Performance Rights to any U.S. Executive (which shall be
treated as a grant of restricted stock to such U.S. Executive and governed by Section 83
of the U.S. Revenue Code) in accordance with Schedule 2 and including the following terms
and conditions:






	 	(a)	 	Grant and Restrictions. Performance Rights shall be subject to such
restrictions on transferability, risk of forfeiture and other restrictions, if any,
as the Board may impose, or as otherwise provided in this Plan, covering a period of
time specified by the Board (the “Restriction Period”). The terms of any Invitation
to apply for Performance Rights granted under the Plan shall contain provisions
determined by the Board and not inconsistent with the Plan. The restrictions may
lapse separately or in combination at such times, under such circumstances (including
based on achievement of performance goals and/or future service requirements), in
such instalments or otherwise, as the Board may determine at the date of grant or
thereafter. Except to the extent restricted under the terms of the Plan and any
Invitation relating to Performance Rights, an U.S. Executive granted Performance
Rights shall have all of the rights of a shareholder, including the right to vote the
Shares underlying the Performance Rights and the right to receive dividends thereon
(subject to any mandatory reinvestment or other requirement imposed by the Board).
During the Restriction Period, the Performance Rights may not be sold, transferred,
pledged, hypothecated, margined or otherwise encumbered by the U.S. Executive.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Certificates for Stock. Performance Rights granted under the Plan may be
evidenced in such manner as the Board shall determine. If certificates representing
Performance Rights are registered in the name of the U.S. Executive, the Board may
require that such certificates bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms,
conditions and restrictions applicable to such Performance Rights, that the Company
retain physical possession of the certificates, and that the U.S. Executive deliver a
stock power to the Company, endorsed in blank, relating to the Performance Rights.

	 	(c)	 	Dividends and Splits. As a condition to the Invitation to apply for
Performance Rights, the Board may require or permit an U.S. Executive to elect that
any cash dividends paid on a Share underlying such Performance Rights be
automatically reinvested in additional Performance Rights or applied to the purchase
of additional Performance Rights under the Plan. Unless otherwise determined by the
Board, Shares distributed in connection with a stock split or stock dividend, and
other property distributed as a dividend, shall be subject to restrictions and a risk
of forfeiture to the same extent as the Performance Rights with respect to which such
Shares or other property have been distributed.






	4	 	Performance Shares
	 
	4.1	 	Terms and conditions
	 
	 	 	The Board is authorized to grant Performance Shares to any U.S. Executive. Any
Performance Shares granted to a U.S. Executive shall be governed by the following
provisions and those terms and conditions in Schedule 3 shall not be applicable to such
grant (and, for the avoidance of doubt, any Performance Shares granted under this Schedule
5 shall not be held by the Trustee under the Trust established in relation to the
Performance Share Plan):






	 	(a)	 	Grants and Restrictions. The Board is authorized to grant Performance
Shares to any U.S. Executive payable in cash, Shares, or other Performance Shares, on
terms and conditions established by the Board, if and to the extent that the Board
shall, in its sole discretion, determine that such Performance Shares shall be
subject to those provisions. The performance criteria to be achieved during any
Performance Period and the length of the Performance Period shall be determined by
the Board upon the grant of each Performance Share. Except as may be provided in an
Invitation for Performance Shares, Performance Shares will be distributed only after
the end of the relevant Performance Period. The performance goals to be achieved for
each Performance Period shall be conclusively determined by the Board and may be
based upon the criteria set forth in paragraph 6.1(f) of this Schedule, or in the
case of Performance Shares that the Board determines shall not be subject to
paragraph 6.1(f) of this Schedule, any other criteria that the Board, in its sole
discretion, shall determine should be used for that purpose. The number of
Performance Shares to be distributed shall be conclusively determined by the Board.
Performance Shares may be paid in Shares or in a lump sum or in instalments following
the close of the Performance Period or, in accordance with procedures established by
the Board, on a deferred basis.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Other Terms and Conditions. Unless otherwise determined by the Board on
the Grant Date and in the Invitation, all other terms and conditions of Performance
Shares granted to U.S. Executives shall be governed under Schedule 2, provided that
“Performance Share” shall replace “Performance Right” in each such place that it
appears in such Schedule 2.

	5	 	Awards and RSUs
	 
	5.1	 	Additional terms and conditions
	 
	 	 	The Board is authorized to grant Awards and RSUs to any U.S. Executive in accordance with
Schedules 4 and 5, respectively, and including the following terms and conditions:






	 	(a)	 	Compliance with Section 409A. Grants of Awards and/or RSUs under the Plan
are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A by reason of the
benefits hereunder constituting short-term deferrals within the meaning of applicable
guidance issued under Section 409A, and to the extent administratively practicable,
the Plan shall be construed in a manner consistent with the requirements for such
exemption. If and to the extent that the grant of Awards and/or RSUs under the Plan
are not deemed to qualify for the short-term deferral exception, then the Plan and
any Invitations for Awards and/or RSUs granted pursuant to the Plan shall be
construed in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A, and the
Committee may amend the Plan and/or any such Invitations to the extent necessary or
appropriate to comply with those requirements, without obtaining shareholder or
Participant approval.






	6	 	Certain Provisions Applicable to Options, Performance Rights, Performance Shares, Awards and
RSUs
	 
	 	 	Each Option, Performance Right, Performance Share, Award and RSU granted to a U.S.
Executive shall be subject to the following additional provisions:






	 	(a)	 	Term. The term of each Option, Performance Right, Performance Share, Award
and RSU shall be for such period as may be determined by the Board; provided that in
no event shall the term exceed a period of ten years (or in the case of an Incentive
Stock Option such shorter term as may be required under Section 422 of the U.S.
Revenue Code).
	 
	 	(b)	 	Time and Method of Exercise. The Board shall determine the time or times
at which or the circumstances under which an Option, Performance Right, Performance
Shares or an RSU may be withdrawn and/or Award may be exercised in whole or in part
(including based on achievement of performance goals and/or future service
requirements), the time or times at which such Option, Performance Right, Performance
Share, Award and/or RSU shall cease to be or become exercisable or withdrawn (as the
case may be) following a Participant ceasing to be employed by a Group Company or
upon other conditions, the methods by which the exercise price may be paid or deemed
to be paid (including in the discretion of the Board a cashless exercise procedure),
the form of such payment, including, without limitation, cash, Shares (including
without limitation the withholding of Shares otherwise deliverable pursuant to the
Option, Performance Right, Performance Share, Award and/or

	 	 	 	RSU), other Options, Performance Rights, Performance Shares, Awards and/or RSUs
granted under other plans of the Company or a Group Company, or other property
(including notes or other contractual obligations of Participants to make payment
on a deferred basis provided that such deferred payments are not in violation of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or any rule or regulation adopted thereunder or
any other applicable law), and the methods by or forms in which Shares will be
delivered or deemed to be delivered to Participants.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Form and Timing of Payment. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any
applicable Invitation, payments to be made by the Company upon the exercise or
settlement of an Option, Performance Right, Performance Share, Award and RSU may be
made in such forms as the Board shall determine, including, without limitation, cash,
Shares, other Invitations or other property, and may be made in a single payment or
transfer, in instalments, or on a deferred basis. Any instalment or deferral
provided for in the preceding sentence shall, however, be subject to the Company’s
compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the rules and
regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, and all
applicable rules of the New York Stock Exchange or any national securities exchange
on which the Company’s securities are listed for trading and, if not listed for
trading on either the New York Stock Exchange or a national securities exchange, then
the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. The settlement of any Option, Performance
Right, Performance Share, Award and RSU may be accelerated, and cash paid in lieu of
Shares in connection with such settlement, in the discretion of the Board or upon
occurrence of one or more specified events (in addition to a Change in Control)
subject to compliance with section 409A of the Code, if applicable. Instalment or
deferred payments may be required by the Board or permitted at the election of the
Executive on terms and conditions established by the Board. Payments may include,
without limitation, provisions for the payment or crediting of a reasonable interest
rate on instalment or deferred payments or the grant or crediting of Dividend
Equivalents or other amounts in respect of instalment or deferred payments
denominated in Shares.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Exemptions from Section 16(b) Liability. It is the intent of the Company
that the grant of any Options, Performance Rights, Performance Shares, Awards and
RSUs to (and/or any other transactions pursuant to the Plan with) an Executive who is
subject to Section 16 of the U.S. Exchange Act, shall be exempt from Section 16
pursuant to an applicable exemption (except for transactions acknowledged in writing
to be non-exempt by such Executive). Accordingly, if any provision of this Plan or
any Invitation does not comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 then applicable to
any such transaction, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to the
extent necessary to conform to the applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3 so that such
Executive shall avoid liability under Section 16(b).

	 	(e)	 	U.S. Revenue Code Section 409A. If and to the extent that the Board
believes that the Plan and/or any Invitations for Options, Performance Rights,
Performance Shares, Awards and RSUs may constitute a “nonqualified deferred
compensation plan” under Section 409A of the U.S. Revenue Code, the terms and
conditions set forth in the Award Agreement for that Award shall be drafted in a
manner that is intended to comply with, and those provisions (and /or the provisions
of the Plan applicable thereto) shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with, the
applicable requirements of Section 409A of the U.S. Revenue Code, and the Board, in
its sole discretion and without the consent of any U.S. Executive, may amend any
Award Agreement (and the provisions of the Plan applicable thereto) if and to the
extent that the Board determines necessary or appropriate to comply with the
applicable requirements of Section 409A of the U.S. Revenue Code.
	 
	 	(f)	 	U.S. Revenue Code Section 162(m) Provisions.






	 	(i)	 	Covered Employees. The Committee, in its
discretion, may determine at the time an Option, Performance Right,
Performance Share, Award or RSU is granted to an Executive who is, or is
likely to be, as of the end of the tax year in which the Company would claim
a tax deduction in connection with such Option, Performance Right,
Performance Share, Award or RSU, a “Covered Employee,” that the provisions
of this Section 6.1(e) shall be applicable to such Option, Performance
Right, Performance Share, Award or RSU.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Performance Criteria. If an Option, Performance
Right, Performance Share, Award or RSU is subject to this Section 6.1(e),
then the lapsing of restrictions thereon and the distribution of cash,
Shares or other property pursuant thereto, as applicable, shall be
contingent upon achievement of one or more objective performance goals.
Performance goals shall be objective and shall otherwise meet the
requirements of Section 162(m) of the U.S. Revenue Code and regulations
thereunder including the requirement that the level or levels of performance
targeted by the Committee result in the achievement of performance goals
being “substantially uncertain.” One or more of the following business
criteria for the Company, on a consolidated basis, or for business or
geographical units, or products, of the Company (except with respect to the
total shareholder return and earnings per share criteria), shall be used by
the Committee in establishing performance goals for such Options,
Performance Rights, Performance Shares, Awards and RSUs: (1) earnings per
share; (2) revenues or margins; (3) cash flow; (4) operating margin; (5)
return on net assets, investment, capital, or equity; (6) economic value
added; (7) direct contribution; (8) net income; pre-tax earnings; earnings

be paid under any ongoing bonus plans of the Company; (9) working

the Fair Market Value of a Share, (19) primary demand growth, (20)
achievement of environmental/waste goals, (21) achievement of safety
goals, (22) resolution of legacy issues and/or (23) achievement of
talent development/management goals. Any of the above goals may be
determined on an absolute or relative basis or as compared to the
performance of a published or special index deemed applicable by the
Committee including, but not limited to, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock
Index or a group of companies that are comparable to the Company. The
Committee shall exclude the impact of an event or occurrence which the
Committee determines should appropriately be excluded, including without
limitation (i) restructurings, discontinued operations, extraordinary
items, and other unusual or non-recurring charges, (ii) an event either
not directly related to the operations of the Company or not within the
reasonable control of the Company’s management, or (iii) a change in
accounting standards required by generally accepted accounting
principles.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	Performance Period; Timing For Establishing
Performance Goals. Achievement of performance goals in respect of
Performance Awards shall be measured over a Performance Period no shorter
than 12 months and no longer than five years, as specified by the Committee.
Performance goals shall be established not later than 90 days after the
beginning of any Performance Period applicable to such Performance Awards,
or at such other date as may be required or permitted for “performance-based
compensation” under U.S. Revenue Code Section 162(m).
	 
	 	(iv)	 	Adjustments. The Committee may, in its
discretion, reduce the amount of a settlement otherwise to be made in
connection with Options, Performance Rights, Performance Shares, Awards or
RSUs subject to this Section 8, but may not exercise discretion to increase
any such amount payable to a Covered Employee in respect of an Option,
Performance Right, Performance Share, Award or RSU subject to this Section
6.1(e). The Committee shall specify the circumstances in which such Awards
shall be paid or forfeited in the event of termination of the Executive’s
employment prior to the end of a Performance Period or

	 	 	 	exercise or settlement of Options, Performance Rights, Performance
Shares, Awards or RSUs.
	 
	 	(v)	 	Committee Certification. No Executive shall
receive any payment under the Plan that is subject to this Section 6.1(e)
unless the Committee has certified, by resolution or other appropriate
action in writing, that the performance criteria and any other material
terms previously established by the Committee or set forth in the Plan, have
been satisfied to the extent necessary to qualify as “performance based
compensation” under U.S. Revenue Code Section 162(m).
