	5.2	 	Vesting Conditions may be waived, or varied so as to be less onerous, at the absolute
discretion of the Board (unless excluded by the terms of the Award).
	 
	5.3	 	If Vesting Conditions are not satisfied in accordance with the terms of an Offer, as amended
or waived under clause 5.2, or in accordance with clause 5.4 then the unvested Award will
lapse.






6











 










Automatic vesting on change of control





	5.4	 	Unless the terms of an Offer provide otherwise, an Award will vest immediately regardless of
whether its Vesting Conditions have been satisfied if:






	 	(a)	 	a person who did not Control the Company at the date of issue of the Award
gains Control of the Company (but only if the person is not itself Controlled by
another person who Controlled the Company at the date of issue of the Award); or
	 
	 	(b)	 	unless the Board otherwise determines — a takeover bid is recommended by the
Board, or a scheme of arrangement which would have a similar effect to a full takeover
bid is announced by the Company.





Automatic Exercise





	5.5	 	Unless clause 5.6 applies, the vesting of an Award with a nil Exercise Price (which does not
include Options) will automatically trigger the exercise of the Award on the satisfaction of
its Vesting Conditions without the need for any action on the part of the Participant.
	 
	5.6	 	The terms of an Award may provide that the Award will not be exercised automatically upon
vesting, in which case the following clauses apply.





Exercise of Awards





	5.7	 	A Participant is, subject to this clause 5, entitled to exercise an Award on or after the
Vesting Date. Any exercise must be for a minimum number or multiple of Shares (if any)
specified in the terms of the Offer.
	 
	5.8	 	Awards may be exercised by the Participant delivering to the Company a notice stating the
number of Awards to be exercised together with the Exercise Price (if any) for the Shares to
be issued.






	6	 	Allotment of Shares on exercise or vesting of Awards





Rights attaching to Shares





	6.1	 	The Shares issued under this Plan will upon allotment be:






	 	(a)	 	credited as fully paid;
	 
	 	(b)	 	rank equally for dividends and other entitlements where the record date is on
or after the date of allotment, but will carry no right to receive any dividend or
entitlement where the record date is before the date of allotment; and
	 
	 	(c)	 	subject to any restrictions imposed under these Rules, will otherwise rank
equally with the existing issued Shares at the time of allotment.





ADSs





	6.2	 	Despite any other provision in these Rules, Participants who are resident in the US at the
time of exercise of an Award will be issued ADSs instead of Shares, unless the Board
determines otherwise.




7









 

















	6.3	 	The Board may, in its discretion, issue other Participants with ADSs instead of Shares on the
exercise of an Award if requested by the Participant.





Quotation





	6.4	 	If the Company is Listed, then as soon as practicable after the date of the allotment of
Shares or ADSs, the Company will, unless the Board otherwise resolves, apply for official
quotation of such Shares on the ASX or cause the ADSs to be approved for listing on NYSE
respectively, and if required by the Securities Act, cause the registration of the offer and
sale of the Shares or ADSs under the Securities Act.





New or existing Shares





	6.5	 	The Company may, in its discretion, either issue new Shares or cause existing Shares to be
acquired for transfer to the Participant, or a combination of both alternatives, to satisfy
the Company’s obligations under these Rules.
	 
	6.6	 	If the Company decides to cause the transfer of Shares to a Participant, the Shares may be
acquired in such manner as the Company considers appropriate, including from a trustee
appointed under clause 6.7.





Trustee





	6.7	 	The Company may appoint a trustee on terms and conditions which it considers appropriate to
acquire and hold Shares or other securities of the Company either on behalf of Participants or
for the purposes of this Plan.
	 
	6.8	 	Participants have no rights in respect of Shares or other securities held by a trustee unless
and until their Performance Rights vest.





Cash settlement of Awards





	6.9	 	Awards may, in the discretion of the Board and subject to obtaining any necessary ASIC
relief, be satisfied by way of cash payments to Participants instead of by the issue of
Shares. The amount of cash payable will be the Market Price on the date of exercise of the
Shares that would have been issued to the Participant had the Board not exercised this
discretion, minus the Exercise Price (if any). Cash payments will be paid subject to
withholding under clause 6.10.





Liability for payments





	6.10	 	Where the Company, or any of its related bodies corporate, or a trustee appointed under this
clause 6 must withhold or account for any tax or social security contributions (in any
jurisdiction) for which a Participant may be liable because of the grant of an Award, issue or
transfer of Shares, payment of cash, or the vesting or exercise of an Award (the Amount), the
Company, related body corporate, or trustee may in its discretion:






	 	(a)	 	withhold up to the Amount from any cash payment; and/or
	 
	 	(b)	 	withhold a number of Shares which would otherwise be provided to the
Participant and sell them in order to realise the Amount (with any excess received over
the Amount net of costs of sale being paid to the Participant).






The Company, related body corporate, or trustee may also, either instead of or in addition
to exercising the above discretion:



8









 











	 	(c)	 	accept payment from the Participant of the relevant Amount; or
	 
	 	(d)	 	make acceptable arrangements with the Participant for the Amount to be made
available.






	7	 	Restricted Awards and Restricted Shares





Restrictions





	7.1	 	A Participant must not sell, transfer, grant a Security Interest over or otherwise dispose of
any Restricted Awards or Restricted Shares, or agree to do any of those things, during the
applicable Restriction Period.
	 
	7.2	 	The Company may implement any procedures it considers appropriate to ensure that Restricted
Awards or Restricted Shares are not disposed of during the Restriction Period, including
applying a holding lock in respect of Restricted Shares.
	 
	7.3	 	Without limiting its discretions under these Rules, the Board may at any time in its
discretion waive or shorten the Restriction Period applicable to an Award or a Share.





Bonus issues





	7.4	 	If the Company makes a pro rata bonus issue to holders of Restricted Shares, the Shares
issued to Participants under the pro rata bonus issue will be subject to the balance of the
Restriction Period which applied to the Restricted Shares.





Takeovers





	7.5	 	If a takeover bid is made to acquire all of the issued Shares of the Company, or a scheme of
arrangement, selective capital reduction or other transaction is initiated which has an effect
similar to a full takeover bid for Shares in the Company, then the Board may permit
Participants to accept the takeover bid or participate in the other transaction in respect of
all or part of their Restricted Shares notwithstanding that the Restriction Period in respect
of such Shares has not expired. Further, it is not a breach of these Rules if Restricted
Shares are disposed of by a Participant under laws relating to compulsory acquisition
following a takeover or otherwise in accordance with law or the order of a court.





Personal representatives





	7.6	 	If a Participant dies before the end of the Restriction Period, then the legal personal
representative of that deceased Participant will have the same rights and benefits and be
subject to the same obligations in respect of those Awards or Shares as the deceased
Participant would have had or been subject to had they survived until the end of the
Restriction Period.






	8	 	Adjustments





General





	8.1	 	The following provisions of this clause 8 apply to Awards in respect of events occurring
while they remain unvested.




9









 

















	8.2	 	Unless otherwise permitted by the Listing Rules, the number of Shares which the Participant
is entitled to receive on exercise of an Award will only be adjusted in accordance with this
clause 8. The Company must give notice to Participants of any adjustment to the number of
Shares which the Participant is entitled to receive on exercise of an Award in accordance with
the Listing Rules.





New issues





	8.3	 	A Participant is not entitled to participate in a new issue of Shares or other securities
made by the Company to holders of its Shares unless Awards are vested and exercised before the
record date for the relevant issue. Cash Rights confer no right to participate in a new issue
of Shares or other securities made by the Company in any circumstances.





Bonus issues





	8.4	 	If, prior to the exercise of an Award, the Company makes a pro-rata bonus issue to the
holders of its Shares, and the Award is not vested and exercised prior to the record date in
respect of that bonus issue, the Award will, if and when exercised, entitle the Participant
to:






	 	(a)	 	in the case of a Performance Right, RSU or Option — an additional number of
bonus securities which would have been issued to the Participant if the Award had been
exercised prior to the record date; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	in the case of a Cash Right — an additional cash payment representing the
Market Value at the date of exercise of the number of bonus securities which would have
been issued to the Participant if the Award had been a Performance Right and had been
exercised prior to the record date.





Capital returns





	8.5	 	If, prior to the exercise of an Award, the Company makes an equal return of capital to the
holders of its Shares, and the Award is not vested and exercised prior to the record date in
respect of that event, the Award will, if and when exercised, entitle the Participant to:






	 	(a)	 	in the case of a Performance Right, RSU or Option — an additional cash payment
or other distribution which would have been made to the Participant if the Award had
been exercised prior to the record date; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	in the case of a Cash Right — an additional cash payment or the Market Value
at the date of exercise of any other distribution which would have been made to the
Participant if the Award had been a Performance Right and had been exercised prior to
the record date.





Compliance with Listing Rules





	8.6	 	If, prior to the exercise of an Award, the Company undergoes a reorganisation of capital
(other than by way of a bonus issue or issue for cash) the terms of the Awards of the
Participant will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules as they
apply at the relevant time.




10









 

















	9	 	Hedging unvested Awards
	 
	9.1	 	Participants must not enter into transactions or arrangements, including by way of
derivatives or similar financial products, which reduce or limit the economic risk of holding
unvested Awards.
	 
	10	 	Forfeiture
	 
	10.1	 	If the terms of an Award provide that the Award, or a Share issued on exercise or vesting of
the Award, may be forfeited in certain circumstances, then upon forfeiture the Participant
must comply with any request of the Company or the Board to:






	 	(a)	 	transfer the Award or Share to a third party nominated by the Company
(including a trustee appointed for the purposes of this Plan) at no consideration; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	enter into a buy back agreement in relation to the Award or Share under which
it will be acquired by the Company for no consideration.






	10.2	 	The power of attorney provisions of clause 11 apply to any document to be executed under this
clause.






	11	 	Power of attorney
	 
	11.1	 	In consideration of the issue of the Awards, each Participant irrevocably appoints each
director and the secretary for the time being of the Company severally as his or her attorney,
to do all acts and things and to complete and execute any documents, including share
transfers, in his or her name and on his or her behalf that may be convenient or necessary for
the purpose of giving effect to the provisions of these Rules or the terms of an Award. The
Participant (or after his or her death, his or her legal personal representative) will be
deemed to ratify and confirm any act or thing done under this power and to indemnify the
attorney in respect of doing so.






	12	 	Powers of the Board
	 
	12.1	 	The Plan will be administered by the Board, or a committee of the Board (in which case
references in these Rules to the Board are taken to include references to such a committee),
which will have an absolute discretion to:






	 	(a)	 	determine appropriate procedures for administration of the Plan consistent with
these Rules;
	 
	 	(b)	 	resolve conclusively all questions of fact or interpretation arising in
connection with the Plan or these Rules;
	 
	 	(c)	 	delegate to any one or more persons, for such period and on such conditions as
they may determine, the exercise of any of their powers or discretions under the Plan
or these Rules;




11









 

















	 	(d)	 	formulate special terms and conditions (subject to the Listing Rules), in
addition to those set out in these Rules to apply to Participants employed and/or
resident in and/or who are citizens of countries other than Australia. Each of these
special terms and conditions will be restricted in their application to those
Participants employed and/or resident in and/or who are citizens of other
jurisdictions; and
	 
	 	(e)	 	amend these Rules, provided that such amendments do not materially prejudice
the rights of existing Participants.






	12.2	 	While the Company is Listed, the Board may only exercise its powers in accordance with the
Listing Rules.
	 
	13	 	Commencement, suspension, termination and amendment of Plan
	 
	13.1	 	Subject to the passing of any necessary resolution approving the establishment of the Plan
and the issue of Awards, the Plan will take effect when the Board decides.
	 
	13.2	 	The Plan may be suspended, terminated or amended at any time by the Board, subject to any
resolution of the Company required by the Listing Rules.
	 
	14	 	General provisions





Participants bound





	14.1	 	Participants issued Awards under this Plan are bound by these Rules and by the Constitution
of the Company.





Notices





	14.2	 	Any notice required to be given by the Company to a Participant or any correspondence to be
made between the Company and a Participant may be given or made by the Board or its delegate
on behalf of the Company.





Effect on employee entitlements





	14.3	 	Participation in the Plan does not affect an Employee’s terms of employment or appointment
with the Company. In particular, participation in the Plan does not detract from any right
the Company may have to terminate the employment or appointment of an Employee.
	 
	14.4	 	Participation in the Plan, or the issuing of any Awards, does not form part of the Employee’s
remuneration for the purposes of determining payments in lieu of notice of termination of
employment, severance payments, leave entitlements, or any other compensation payable to an
Employee upon the termination of employment.





Governing law





	14.5	 	These Rules are governed by and are to be construed in accordance with the laws of New South
Wales.






12
