AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND
BANKING GROUP LIMITED (A.B.N. 11 005 357 522), a corporation duly incorporated
under the laws of the State of Victoria, Commonwealth of Australia (herein
called the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the
Indenture hereinafter

 

3

 

referred to), for value received, hereby promises to
pay to, CEDE & CO. or registered assigns, the principal amount specified
above in the currency or currency unit so specified (any currency or currency
unit other than U.S. dollars being hereinafter referred to as a “Specified
Currency”) on the Stated Maturity specified above, and to pay interest thereon,
from and including the Original Issue Date of this Security specified above
(the “Original Issue Date”) or from and including the most recent Interest
Payment Date (as hereinafter defined) to which interest on this Security (or
any Predecessor Security) has been paid or duly provided for, at a rate per
annum equal to the Initial Interest Rate specified above (the “Initial Interest
Rate”) until the first Interest Reset Date (as defined on the reverse hereof)
following the Original Issue Date and thereafter at a rate determined in
accordance with the provisions on the reverse hereof under the heading “Determination
of CD Rate”, “Determination of Commercial Paper Rate”, “Determination of Prime
Rate”, “Determination of Federal Funds Effective Rate”, “Determination of LIBOR”,
“Determination of Treasury Rate”, “Determination of Australian Bank Bill Rate”
or “Determination of CMT Rate”, depending upon whether the Interest Rate Basis
specified above is CD Rate, Commercial Paper Rate, Prime Rate, Federal Funds
Effective Rate, LIBOR, Treasury Rate, Australian Bank Bill Rate or CMT Rate,
subject in each case to the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any,
shown above or to multiplication by the Spread Multiplier, if any, shown above,
until the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment; provided,
however, that, unless the Holder hereof is entitled to make, and has
made, a Specified Currency Payment Election (as hereinafter defined) with
respect to one or more such payments, the Company will make such payments in
respect of this Security in U.S. dollars in amounts determined as set forth on
the reverse hereof.  Such interest shall be payable by the Company
monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually as specified above under “Interest
Payment Period” and, unless otherwise specified above under “Interest Payment
Date(s)”, such interest shall be payable by the Company on the third Wednesday
of the month or months specified above under “Interest Payment Month(s)” in each
year (or if any such day is not a Market Day (as defined on the reverse hereof)
with respect to this Security, on the next succeeding Market Day with respect
to this Security or, if the Interest Rate Basis specified above is LIBOR and
the next succeeding such Market Day falls in the next calendar month, the next
day preceding such Market Day) (each date so specified above or, if none is so
specified, determined as herein provided, an “Interest Payment Date”) and at
Maturity commencing on the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the
Original Issue Date, or, if the Interest Reset Period specified above is weekly
and the Original Issue Date is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to
the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, on the second Interest Payment Date
next succeeding the Original Issue Date.  The interest so payable, and
punctually paid or duly provided for, on any such Interest Payment Date will be
paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities)
is registered at the close of business on the fifteenth day (whether or not a
Market Day) next preceding such Interest Payment Date or such other Regular
Record Date specified above (the “Regular Record Date”); provided, however,
that interest payable at Maturity will be payable to the Person to whom
principal shall be payable; and, provided, further, that if the
Original Issue Date is after a Regular Record Date and before the next
succeeding Interest Payment Date the first payment of interest shall be payable
on the second Interest Payment Date following the Original Issue Date to the
Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is
registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date immediately
preceding such second Interest Payment Date.  Any such interest which is
payable, but not so punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest
Payment Date (“Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the
Holder on such Regular Record Date and such Defaulted Interest may either be
paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor
Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for
the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof
shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days
prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful
manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on
which this Security may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by
such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

 

Upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default, subject to the subordination provisions hereinafter referred
to, there shall become due and payable with respect to this Security, and the Company
shall pay to the Person in whose name this Security is registered on the date
fixed for payment, the principal amount hereof and all accrued and unpaid
interest hereon to such date for payment. An “Event of Default” is defined
solely as the making of an order by a court of the State of Victoria,
Commonwealth of Australia or a court with appellate jurisdiction from such
court which is not successfully appealed or permanently stayed within 60 days
of the entry of such order, or the valid adoption by the Shareholders of the Company
of an

 

4

 

effective resolution, in either case for the
winding-up of the Company (other than under or in connection with a scheme of
amalgamation or reconstruction not involving a bankruptcy or insolvency).

 

Payment of the principal
of and any premium and interest on this Security will be made upon presentation
or, at Maturity, surrender of this Security at the corporate trust office of
the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or such other
office or agency of the Company maintained by it for that purpose in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York in such coin or currency of the
United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment
of public and private debts; provided, however, that payment of
the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security due at Maturity
will be made in immediately available funds at such corporate trust office or
such other offices or agencies if this Security is presented to the Paying
Agent in time for the Paying Agent or such other paying agent to make such
payments in accordance with its normal procedures; and provided, further,
that, at the option of the Company, payment of interest (other than interest
payable at Maturity) may be made by check mailed to the address of the person
entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register; and, provided,
further, that notwithstanding the foregoing a Holder of US$10,000,000 or
more in aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and tenor shall
be entitled to receive payments of interest, other than interest due at
Maturity, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account if
appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received by the Paying Agent
or such other paying agent in writing not less than 15 calendar days prior to
the applicable Interest Payment Date; and, provided, further,
that notwithstanding the foregoing if (i) this Security is denominated in a
Specified Currency, (ii) the Holder hereof is entitled to make, and has made, a
Specified Currency Payment Election with respect to such payment, (iii) the
Exchange Rate Agent is able to convert such payments as provided below and (iv)
the Specified Currency is not unavailable due to the imposition of exchange
controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Company, then (a) the
payment of principal of and any premium or interest on this Security other than
at Maturity will be made in the Specified Currency (or, if such Specified
Currency is not at the time of such payment legal tender for the payment of
public and private debts, in such other coin or currency of the country which
issued such Specified Currency as at the time of such payment is legal tender
for the payment of such debts) by check drawn upon a bank office located
outside the United States, and (b) any such payments due at Maturity will be
made in such Specified Currency (or, if applicable, such other coin or
currency) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account
maintained by the Holder hereof with a bank office located in the country which
issued the Specified Currency (unless the Specified Currency is Australian
dollars in which case such payment will be made to a bank office located
outside the United States) upon presentation of this Security to the Paying
Agent or any other paying agent in time for such wire transfer to be made by
the Paying Agent in accordance with its normal procedures.  Unless otherwise
specified above, if this Security is denominated in a Specified Currency, the
Holder hereof may elect to receive payments of the principal of and any premium
or interest on this Security in such Specified Currency (a “Specified Currency
Payment Election”) by delivery of a written request (including, in the case of
an election with respect to payments at Maturity, appropriate wire transfer
instructions) to the Trustee at its corporate trust office referred to above on
or prior to the relevant Regular Record Date or the sixteenth day prior to
Maturity, as the case may be.  Such request may be in writing (mailed or
hand delivered) or by facsimile transmission.  A Holder may elect to
receive payment in the Specified Currency for all principal and any premium and
interest payments and need not file a separate election for each payment. Such
election will remain in effect until revoked by written notice to the Trustee,
but written notice of any such revocation must be received by the Trustee on or
prior to the relevant Regular Record Date or the sixteenth day prior to
Maturity, as the case may be.

 

All payments of, or in
respect of, principal of and any premium and interest on this Security will be
made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or
future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature
imposed or levied by or on behalf of the Commonwealth of Australia (“Australia”)
or any political subdivision thereof or any taxing authority therein, unless
such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges are required by
Australia or any such subdivision or authority to be withheld or
deducted.  In that event, the Company will pay such Additional Amounts as
will result (after deduction of such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental
charges and any additional taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges
payable in respect of such) in the payment to the Holder of this Security of
the amounts which would otherwise have been payable in respect of this Security
had no such withholding or deduction been required, subject to certain
exceptions as set forth in Article Ten of the

 

5

 

Indenture.  Any references herein to
principal, premium or interest in respect hereof shall be deemed to also refer
to any Additional Amounts payable in respect thereof.

 

Reference is hereby made
to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof,
which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set
forth at this place.

 

Unless the certificate of
authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the
reverse hereof by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any
benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company
has caused this instrument to be duly executed by manual or facsimile signature

[Reverse of Note]

 

This
Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein
called the “Securities”),  issued and to
be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of January 15,
1994 (herein called the “Indenture”), as amended and supplemented by the First
Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 29, 1998, and the Second Supplemental
Indenture, dated as of            ,
between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (as successor
trustee to The Bank of New York), as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”,
which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference
is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights,
limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the
Trustee, the Other Creditors and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms
upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This
Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof [if applicable,
insert — , limited in aggregate principal amount to
$...........].  [if applicable, insert —;
provided, however, that the Company may from time to time or at any time,
without the consent of the Holders of the Securities, create and issue
additional Securities with terms and conditions identical to those of the
Securities, which additional Securities shall increase the aggregate principal
amount of, and shall be consolidated and form a single series with, the
Securities].

 

The Securities of this
series will constitute unsecured obligations of the Company, will be subject to
the subordination provisions described herein and will rank pari passu without any preference among themselves.  The Securities of this series will also
rank pari passi as to
subordination with the securities listed in Section 301 of the Indenture.

 

[If
applicable, insert — Under the existing requirements
of the Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority (“APRA”), no redemption,
purchase or repurchase of any Securities prior to their Stated Maturity may be
made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries without the prior consent of
APRA, unless otherwise specified or determined by APRA.]

 

In any winding-up of the Company,
the claims of Holders of Securities of this series will be subordinated to the
claims of Other Creditors of the Company to the extent and as set forth in
Article Thirteen of the Indenture, and this Security is issued subject to
the provisions of the Indenture with respect thereto.  Each Holder of this
Security, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such
provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such
action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination so
provided and (c) appoints the Trustee his true and lawful attorney for any and
all such purposes.  “Other Creditors” means all creditors of the Company
(including but not limited to all depositors of the Company) other than (i)
Holders of Securities, (ii) creditors whose claims against the Company rank, or
are expressed to rank, pari passu
with the claims of Holders of Securities (which shall be deemed to include all
creditors, present and future, to whom the Company is indebted where the terms
of such indebtedness (a) provide that such indebtedness will become due and
payable on a specified or determinable date or at the end of a specified or
determinable period, and that in the event of a winding-up of the Company the
claims of those creditors against the Company will be, or are expressed to be,
subordinated in right of payment to the claims of all depositors and other
unsubordinated creditors of the Company, and (b) do not provide that in the
event of a winding-up of the Company the claims of those creditors against the Company
will rank, or are expressed to rank, ahead of the claims of any other
subordinated creditors of the Company to whom the Company is indebted on terms
which conform to the foregoing description contained in this clause (ii)
excluding this sub-clause (b)); and (iii) creditors whose claims against the Company
rank, or are expressed to rank, after the claims of the Holders of Securities
(which creditors shall be deemed to include all creditors, present and future,
to whom the Company is indebted where the terms of such indebtedness provide
that such indebtedness is undated or perpetual or otherwise of no fixed and
determinable maturity, and that in the event of a winding-up of the Company the
claims of those creditors against the Company will be, or are expressed to be,
subordinated in right of payment to the claims of all depositors and other
unsubordinated creditors of the Company and any or all of the creditors of the Company
referred to in clause (ii) above).

 

If the Company fails to
pay (i) any interest on the relevant Payment Date, and
such failure is continued for 30 days, or (ii) the principal amount of, and any
premium, on the Securities when due, then in each of such cases such failure
shall constitute a “Default”.  If any Default shall occur and be
continuing, the Trustee may pursue actions for specific performance, commence a
judicial proceeding for the collection or recovery of the sums so due and
unpaid or for the enforcement of any such payments due or institute a
proceeding in the State of Victoria, Commonwealth of Australia (but not
elsewhere) for the winding-up of the Company; provided,
however, that the Trustee may not declare the principal amount of
the Securities to be due and payable.  Holders of Securities of this
series will be deemed to have waived any right to set-off or counterclaim that
they might otherwise have against the Company.

This Security is one of the
series designated as “U.S. Medium Term Notes, Series A”, limited in aggregate
principal amount (or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities or
Securities with the amount payable in respect of principal or any premium or
interest to be determined by reference to the value, rate or price of one or
more specified indices (“Indexed Securities”), an aggregate initial offering
price) not to exceed US$1,500,000,000 (or, if Securities of this series
denominated in one or more Specified Currencies are issued by the Company, the
equivalent thereof in such Specified Currencies based upon the Market Exchange
Rate (as defined below) on the date the Company agreed to issue such
Securities).  Unless a greater minimum denomination is specified on the
face hereof, the Securities of this series are issuable only as registered
Securities, without coupons, in minimum denominations of US$100,000 (or, in the
case of Securities denominated in a Specified Currency, the equivalent thereof
in such Specified Currency on the basis of the noon buying rate for cable
transfers in The City of New York as certified for customs purposes by (or, if
not so certified, as otherwise determined by) the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York (the “Market Exchange Rate”) for such Specified Currency on the date the Company
agrees to issue such Security, rounded down to the nearest 1,000 units of such
Specified Currency) and in integral multiples of US$1,000 in excess thereof
(or, in the case of Securities denominated in a Specified Currency, 1,000 units
of such Specified Currency).  The Securities of this series may be issued
from time to time in various principal amounts and currencies or currency
units, may bear different Stated Maturities, may bear interest, if any, at
different rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions, if any, and
may otherwise vary.

 

The interest payable
hereon on any Interest Payment Date will be the interest accrued from and
including the Original Issue Date or from and including the most recent
Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, as
the case may be, to but excluding such Interest Payment Date; provided, however,
that if the Interest Reset Period specified on the face hereof is daily or
weekly, the interest payable on any Interest Payment Date will be the interest
accrued from and including the Original Issue Date or from and including the
day following the most recent Regular Record Date in respect of which interest
has been paid or duly provided for, as the case may be, to but excluding the
day following the Regular Record Date immediately preceding such Interest
Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest payable at Maturity
will include interest accrued to but excluding the date of Maturity.  Accrued
interest hereon shall be calculated by multiplying the face amount hereof by an
accrued interest factor.  Such accrued interest factor shall be computed
by adding the interest factor calculated for each day in the period for which
accrued interest is being calculated.  The interest factor for each such
day (expressed as a decimal rounded, if necessary, as described below) shall be
computed by dividing the interest rate (expressed as a decimal rounded, if
necessary, as described below) applicable to such day by (i) 360 if the
Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof is the Commercial Paper Rate,
Prime Rate, CD Rate, Federal Funds Effective Rate or LIBOR, (ii) the actual
number of days in the year (365 or 366, as the case may be) if the Interest
Rate Basis specified on the face hereof is the Treasury Rate or CMT Rate, (iii)
365 if the Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof is the Australian
Bank Bill Rate or (iv) notwithstanding the foregoing, the number of days in the
Computation Period, if any, specified on the face hereof.  Except as
otherwise provided herein, all percentages resulting from any calculation with
respect to this Security will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest
one-hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a
percentage point rounded (e.g.,
9.876545% (or .09876545) being rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655) and 9.876544%
(or .09876544) being rounded to 9.87654% (or .0987654)), and all dollar amounts
and all amounts in Specified Currencies used in or resulting from such
calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent and unit, respectively (with
one-half cent and one-half unit being rounded upwards).

 

The rate of interest on
this Security will be reset daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or
annually, as specified on the face hereof under Interest Reset Period (each
date upon which interest is so reset as provided below being hereinafter
referred to as an “Interest Reset Date”), and the interest rate in effect on
any day shall be (a) if such day is an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate
for such Interest Reset Date or (b) if such day is not an Interest Reset Date
the interest rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date; provided,
however, that the interest rate in effect for the period from the
Original Issue Date of this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) to
but excluding the first Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate
specified on the face hereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest
rate hereon shall not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or
less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof and
in no event shall be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as
the same may be modified by United States law of general application. 
Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof and except as provided in the
next succeeding sentence, the Interest Reset Date with respect to this Security
will be,

if the Interest Reset Period specified on the face
hereof is daily, each Market Day; if the Interest Reset Period specified on the
face hereof is weekly (unless the Interest Rate Basis specified on the face
hereof is the Treasury Rate), the Wednesday of each week; if the Interest Reset

months in each year specified under “Interest Reset Month(s)” on the face
hereof; and if the Interest Reset Period specified on the face hereof is
annually, the third Wednesday of the one month in each year specified under “Interest
Reset Month(s)” on the face hereof. If, pursuant to the preceding sentence, any
Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Market Day (as
defined below) with respect to this Security, the Interest Reset Date shall be
the next succeeding day that is a Market Day with respect to this Security,
except that if the Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof is LIBOR
and the immediately succeeding such Market Day falls in the next succeeding
calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding
such Market Day.  Subject to applicable provisions of law and except as
specified herein, on each Interest Reset Date the rate of interest on this
Security shall be the rate determined in accordance with the provisions of the
applicable heading below.

Interest Reset Date (the “CD Rate Interest Determination Date”) for negotiable
certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof

nationally recognized rating agency; provided, however, that if
such dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as
mentioned in this sentence, the Commercial Paper Rate shall be the Commercial
Paper Rate in effect on such Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date (or
if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the Commercial Paper Rate shall be

“Money Market Yield”
shall be a yield (expressed as a percentage rounded upwards, if necessary, to
the next higher one-hundred thousandth of a percentage point), calculated in
accordance with the following formula:

purpose of displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major United States
banks) (“Reuters Screen USPRIME1 Page”) as such bank’s prime rate or base
lending rate as in effect for that Prime Rate Interest Determination Date, or
(c) if fewer than four such rates but more than one such rate appear on the
Reuters Screen USPRIME1 Page for the Prime Rate Interest Determination Date,

selected by the Calculation Agent to provide such rate or rates; provided,
however, that if the banks or trust companies selected as aforesaid by

as of 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Federal Funds Effective Interest
Determination Date, for the last transaction in overnight Federal Funds
arranged by three leading brokers of Federal Funds transactions in The City of
New York selected by the Calculation Agent; provided, however,
that if the brokers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not
quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Federal Funds Effective Rate will be
the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such Federal Funds Effective
Interest Determination Date (or if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the
Federal Funds Rate shall be the Initial Interest Rate).

 

Determination
of LIBOR.  If the Interest Rate Basis
specified on the face hereof is LIBOR, the interest rate with respect to this
Security for any Interest Reset Date shall be determined by the Calculation
Agent in accordance with the following provisions:

 

(a)                                 
With respect to any
LIBOR Interest Determination Date, LIBOR will be, as specified on the face
hereof, determined on the basis of either (i) the arithmetic mean of the
offered rates for deposits in the Index Currency specified on the face hereof
(or if no currency is specified, U.S. dollars) having the Index Maturity
specified on the face hereof, commencing on the second London Market Day
immediately following such LIBOR Interest Determination Date, which appear on
the Reuters Screen LIBO Page as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on that LIBOR
Interest Determination Date, if at least two such offered rates appear on the
Reuters Screen LIBO Page (“LIBOR Reuters”), or (ii) the rate for deposits in
the Index Currency having the Index Maturity designated on the face hereof,
commencing on the second London Market Day immediately following such LIBOR
Interest Determination Date, that appears on the Telerate Page specified on the
face hereof (which, if the Index Currency is U.S. dollars, will be Telerate
page 3750) as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on that LIBOR Interest Determination
Date (“LIBOR Telerate”).  If neither LIBOR Reuters nor LIBOR Telerate is
specified on the face hereof, LIBOR will be determined as if LIBOR Telerate had
been specified.  If fewer than two offered rates appear on the Reuters
Screen LIBO Page, or if no rate appears on the Telerate Page, as applicable,
LIBOR for such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be determined as
described in (b) below.

 

(b)                                
With respect to a
LIBOR Interest Determination Date on which fewer than two offered rates for the
applicable Index Maturity appear on the Reuters Screen LIBO Page, as specified
in (a)(i) above, or on which no rate appears on Telerate Page, as specified in
(a)(ii) above, as applicable, LIBOR will be determined on the basis of the
rates at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such LIBOR Interest
Determination Date at which deposits in the Index Currency having the Index
Maturity specified on the face hereof are offered to prime banks in the London
interbank market by four major banks in the London interbank market selected by
the Calculation Agent commencing on the second London Market Day immediately
following such LIBOR Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount
equal to an amount of not less than US$1,000,000 (or the equivalent in the
Index Currency) that in the Calculation Agent’s judgment is representative for
a single transaction in such market at such time.  The Calculation Agent
will request the principal London office of each of such banks to provide a
quotation of its rate.  If at least two such quotations are provided,
LIBOR for such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean,
as calculated by the Calculation Agent on such Calculation Date, of such
quotations.  If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR for such
LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean, as calculated by
the Calculation Agent on such Calculation Date, of the rates quoted at
approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such LIBOR Interest
Determination Date by three major banks in the applicable principal financial
center for the country of the Index Currency, selected by the Calculation
Agent, for

 

12

 

loans in the Index Currency to leading European banks
having the specified Index Maturity commencing on the second London Market Day
immediately following such LIBOR Interest Determination Date and in a principal
amount equal to an amount of not less than US$1,000,000 (or the equivalent in
the Index Currency) that in the Calculation Agent’s judgment is representative
for a single transaction in such market at such time; provided, however,
that if the banks selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not
quoting as mentioned in this sentence, LIBOR for such LIBOR Interest
Determination Date will be the LIBOR in effect on such LIBOR Interest Determination
Date (or if there was no such Interest Reset Period, LIBOR shall be the Initial
Interest Rate).

 

“London Market Day” means
any day on which deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London
interbank market;

 

Determination
of Treasury Rate.  If the Interest Rate Basis
specified on the face hereof is the Treasury Rate, the interest rate with
respect to this Security for any Interest Reset Date shall equal (a) the rate
for the most recent auction of direct obligations of the United States (“Treasury
bills”) having the Index Maturity shown on the face hereof as published in
H.15(519) under the heading “U.S. Government Securities - auction average
(investment)” on the Treasury Interest Determination Date (as defined below) or
(b) if such rate is not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the
Calculation Date pertaining to such Treasury Interest Determination Date, the
auction average rate (expressed as bond equivalent on the basis of a year of
365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied on a daily basis) for such auction
as otherwise announced by the United States Department of the Treasury or (c)
in the event that the results of the auction of Treasury bills having the Index
Maturity specified on the face hereof are not published or reported as provided
in (a) or (b) above by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation
Date or if no such auction is held in a particular week, the yield to maturity
(expressed as a bond equivalent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as
applicable, and applied on a daily basis) of the arithmetic mean, as calculated
by the Calculation Agent of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately
3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such Treasury Interest Determination Date, of
three leading primary United States government securities dealers selected by
the Calculation Agent for the issue of Treasury bills with a remaining maturity
closest to the Index Maturity shown on the face hereof; provided, however,
that if such dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not
quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Treasury Rate shall be the Treasury
Rate on such Treasury Interest Determination Date (or if there was no such
Interest Reset Period, the Treasury Rate shall be the Initial Interest Rate).

 

The “Treasury Interest
Determination Date” pertaining to an Interest Reset Date will be the day on
which Treasury bills are auctioned for the week in which such Interest Reset
Date falls, or if no auction is held for such week, the Monday of such week (or
if Monday is a legal holiday, the next succeeding Market Day) and the Interest
Reset Date will be the Market Day immediately following such Treasury Interest
Determination Date.  If an auction is held for such week on Monday or the
preceding Friday, such Monday or preceding Friday shall be the Treasury
Interest Determination Date for such week, and the Interest Reset Date for such
week shall be the Tuesday of such week (or, if such Tuesday is not a Market
Day, the next succeeding Market Day).  If the auction for such week is
held on any day of such week other than Monday, then such date shall be the
Treasury Interest Determination Date and the Interest Reset Date for such week
shall be the next succeeding Market Day.

 

Determination
of Australian Bank Bill Rate.  If the Interest Rate Basis specified on the
face hereof is the Australian Bank Bill Rate, the interest rate with respect to
this Security for any Interest Reset Date shall equal the rate on such Interest
Reset Date (or, if such Interest Reset Date is not a Market Day, the next
succeeding Market Day) determined by the Calculation Agent by taking the rate
quoted on the Reuters Screen BBSW Page (or such other page as may replace the
Reuters Screen BBSW Page) (“Reuters Screen BBSW Page”) at or about 10:00 A.M.,
Melbourne time, on such Interest Reset Date.  If such rate does not appear
on the Reuters Screen BBSW Page, the rate for that Interest Reset Date will be
determined by the Calculation Agent by taking the mean buying and selling rates
for a bill (which for the purpose of this definition means a bill of exchange
of the type specified for the purpose of quoting on the Reuters Screen BBSW
Page) having a tenor of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, quoted
at approximately 10:00 A.M., Melbourne time, on such Interest Reset Date by
five major financial institutions in the Australian market authorized to quote
on the

 

13

 

Reuters Screen BBSW Page selected by the Calculation
Agent on application by the Calculation Agent, eliminating the highest and the
lowest mean rates and taking the arithmetic mean of the remaining mean rates
and then, if necessary, rounding the resulting figure upwards to four decimal
places; provided, however, that if the banks selected as
aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this
sentence, the Australian Bank Bill Rate will be the Australian Bank Bill Rate
in effect on such Interest Reset Date (or if there was no such Interest Reset
Period, the Australian Bank Bill Rate shall be the Initial Interest Rate).

 

Determination
of CMT Rate.  If the Interest Rate Basis
specified on the face hereof is the CMT Rate, the interest rate with respect to
this Security for any Interest Reset Date shall equal (a) the rate on the
second Market Day with respect to this Security immediately preceding such
Interest Reset Date (the “CMT Rate Interest Determination Date”) displayed on
the Designated CMT Telerate Page under the caption “... Treasury Constant
Maturities.... Federal Reserve Board Release H.15.... Mondays Approximately
3:45 p.m.,” under the column for the Index Maturity for (i) if the Designated
CMT Telerate Page is 7055, the rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination
Date and (ii) if the Designated CMT Telerate page is 7052, the week or the
month, as applicable, ended immediately preceding the week or month, as
applicable in which the related CMT Rate Interest Determination Date occurs or
(b) if such rate is no longer displayed on the relevant page, or if not
displayed by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date,
then the CMT Rate for such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be such
Treasury Constant Maturity rate for the Index Maturity as published in the
relevant H.15(519) (or its replacement) or (c) if such information is not provided
by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT
Rate for the CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the
Calculation Agent and will be a yield to maturity, based on the arithmetic mean
of the secondary market closing offer side prices as of approximately 3:30
p.m., New York City time on the CMT Rate Interest Determination Date reported,
according to their written records, by three leading primary United States
government securities dealers (each, a “Reference Dealer”) in The City of New
York (which may include the Agents or their affiliates) selected by the
Calculation Agent, for the most recently issued direct noncallable fixed rate
obligations of the United States (“Treasury notes”) with an original maturity
of approximately the Index Maturity and remaining term to maturity of not less
than such Index Maturity minus one year or (d) if the Calculation Agent cannot
obtain three such Treasury notes quotations, the CMT Rate for such CMT Rate
Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and
will be a yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary
market offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on
the CMT Rate Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers in The City
of New York, for Treasury notes with an original maturity of the number of
years that is the next highest to the Index Maturity and a remaining term to
maturity closest to the Index Maturity and in an amount of at least
$100,000,000; provided, however,
that if fewer than three Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent
are quoting as described herein, the CMT Rate for such Interest Reset Date will
be the same as the CMT Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period
(or, if there was not such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable
on the CMT Rate Notes for which the CMT Rate is being determined shall be the
Initial Interest Rate).  If two Treasury notes with an original maturity
as described in the second preceding sentence have remaining terms to maturity
equally close to the Index Maturity, the quotes for the Treasury note with the
shorter remaining term to maturity will be used.

 

Renewable
Notes.  If it is indicated on the face
hereof that this is a “Renewable Note”, the Stated Maturity with respect to
this Security will be the Interest Payment Date specified on the face hereof
(the “Initial Maturity Date”), unless the Stated Maturity of all or any portion
of the principal amount of this Security is extended in accordance with the
procedures described below, unless modified as set forth on the face
hereof.  On the Interest Payment Dates in January and July in
each year, unless different Interest Payment Dates are specified on the face
hereof (each such Interest Payment Date, an “Election Date”), the Stated
Maturity hereof will be extended to the Interest Payment Date occurring twelve
months after such Election Date, unless the Holder hereof elects to terminate
the automatic extension of the Stated Maturity hereof or of any portion hereof
having a principal amount of US$1,000 or any multiple of US$1,000 in excess
thereof by delivering a notice of such effect to the Paying Agent not less than
nor more than a number of days specified on the face hereof prior to such
Election Date.  Such option may be exercised with respect to less than the
entire principal amount hereof; provided  that the principal
amount for which such option is not exercised is at least US$1,000 or any
larger amount that is an integral multiple of US$1,000.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Stated Maturity hereof may not be extended beyond the Final
Maturity Date, as specified on the face hereof (the “Final Maturity Date”). 
If the Holder elects to terminate the automatic extension or the Stated
Maturity of any portion of the

 

14

 

principal amount hereof and such election is not
revoked as described below, such portion will become due and payable on the
Interest Payment Date falling six months (unless another period is specified on
the face hereof) after the Election Date prior to which the Holder made such
election.

 

An election to terminate
the automatic extension of the Stated Maturity may be revoked as to any portion
hereof having a principal amount of US$1,000 or any multiple of US$1,000 in
excess thereof by delivering a notice to such effect to the Paying Agent on any
day following the effective date of the election to terminate the automatic
extension of the Stated Maturity and prior to the date 15 days before the date
on which such portion would otherwise mature.  Such a revocation may be
made for less than the entire principal amount hereof for which the automatic
extension of the Stated Maturity has been terminated; provided  that
the principal amount hereof for which the automatic extension of the Stated
Maturity has been terminated and for which such a revocation has not been made
is at least US$1,000 or any larger amount that is an integral multiple of
US$1,000.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a revocation may not be made
during the period from and including a Record Date to but excluding the
immediately succeeding Interest Payment Date.

 

An election to terminate
the automatic extension of the Stated Maturity hereof, if not revoked as
described above by the Holder making the election or any subsequent Holder,
will be binding upon such subsequent Holder.

 

A Renewable Note may be
redeemed in whole or in part at the option of the Company on the Interest
Payment Dates in each year specified on the face hereof, commencing with the
Interest Payment Date specified on the face hereof, at the Redemption Price or
Prices as stated on the face hereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest
to the Redemption Date. Notice of redemption will be provided by mailing a
notice of such redemption to each Holder by first class mail, postage prepaid,
at least 180 days prior to the Redemption Date.

 

Extendible
Notes.  It shall be indicated on the face
hereof whether the Company has the option to extend the Stated Maturity hereof
for one or more periods of one or more whole years (each an “Extension Period”)
up to but not beyond the date (the “Final Maturity Date”) set forth on the face
hereof.  If the Company has such option with respect to
any Security (an “Extendible Note”), the following procedures will apply,
unless modified as set forth on the face hereof.

 

The Company may exercise
such option with respect to an Extendible Note by notifying the Paying Agent of
such exercise at least 45 but not more than 60 days prior to the Stated Maturity
originally in effect with respect to such Note (the “Original Maturity Date”)
or, if the Stated Maturity of such Note has already been extended, prior to the
Stated Maturity then in effect (an “Extended Maturity Date”).  No later
than 38 days prior to the Original Maturity Date or an Extended Maturity Date,
as the case may be (each a “Maturity Date”), the Paying Agent will mail to the
Holder of such Note a notice (the “Extension Notice”), relating to such
Extension Period, by first class mail, postage prepaid, setting forth (a) the
election of the Company to extend the Stated Maturity of such Note; (b) the new
Extended Maturity Date; (c) the interest rate applicable to the Extension
Period (which, in the case of a Floating Rate Note, will be calculated with
reference to an interest formula and the Spread or Spread Multiplier, if any);
and (d) the provisions, if any, for redemption during the Extension Period,
including the date or dates on which the period or periods during which and the
price or prices at which such redemption may occur during the Extension
Period.  Upon the mailing by the Paying Agent of an Extension Notice to
the Holder of an Extendible Note, the Stated Maturity of such Note shall be
extended automatically and, except as modified by the Extension Notice and as
described in the next paragraph, such Note will have the same terms it had
prior to the mailing of such Extension Notice.

 

Notwithstanding the
foregoing, not later than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the twentieth
calendar day prior to the Maturity Date then in effect for an Extendible Note
(or, if such day is not a Business Day, not later than 10:00 A.M., New York
City time, on the immediately succeeding Business Day), the Company may, at its
option, revoke the interest rate provided for in the Extension Notice and
establish a higher interest rate (or, in the case of a Floating Rate Note, a
higher Spread or Spread Multiplier, if any) for the Extension Period by causing
the Paying Agent to send notice of such higher interest rate (or, in the case
of a Floating Rate Note, a higher Spread or Spread Multiplier, if any) to the
Holder of such Note by first class mail, postage prepaid, or by such other
means as shall be agreed between the Company and the Paying Agent.

 

15

 

Such notice shall be irrevocable.  All Extendible
Notes with respect to which the Maturity Date is extended in accordance with an
Extension Notice will bear such higher interest rate (or, in the case of a
Floating Rate Note, a higher Spread or Spread Multiplier, if any) for the
Extension Period, whether or not tendered for redemption.

 

If the Company elects to
extend the Stated Maturity of an Extendible Note, the Holder of such Note will
have the option to require the Company to redeem such Note on the Maturity Date
then in effect at a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus any
accrued and unpaid interest to such date.  In order for an Extendible Note
to be redeemed on such Maturity Date, the Holder must follow the procedures for
optional redemption specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, except
that the period for delivery of such Note or notification to the Paying Agent
shall be at least 25 but not more than 35 days prior to the Maturity Date then
in effect and except that a Holder who has tendered an Extendible Note for
redemption pursuant to an Extension Notice may, by written notice to the Paying
Agent, revoke any such tender for redemption until 3:00 P.M., New York City
time, on the twentieth calendar day prior to the Maturity Date then in effect
(or, if such day is not a Business Day, until 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on
the immediately succeeding Business Day).

 

Unless otherwise
specified on the face hereof, the Calculation Date pertaining to (i) any CD
Rate Interest Determination Date, Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination
Date, Treasury Interest Determination Date or Federal Funds Effective Rate
Interest Determination Date or a CMT Rate Interest Determination Date, as the
case may be, shall be the tenth day after such interest determination date or,
if any such day is not a Market Day with respect to this Security, the next
succeeding such Market Day and (ii) any Prime Rate Interest Determination Date
or LIBOR Interest Determination Date shall be such interest determination date. 
The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate hereon in accordance
with the foregoing on or before each Calculation Date.  At the request of
the Holder hereof, the Calculation Agent will provide to the Holder hereof the
interest rate hereon then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate which
will become effective as of the next Interest Reset Date.  Unless
otherwise specified on the face hereof, the Calculation Agent shall be the
Trustee.

 

The Company shall have
the right to require the Holder of this Security, as a condition of payment of
the principal of or any premium or interest on this Security (or any Additional
Amounts payable in respect thereof), to present at the office of the Trustee or
any paying agent a certificate in such form as the Company may from time to
time prescribe to enable the Company to determine its duties and liabilities
with respect to (i) any taxes, assessments or governmental charges which the Company,
the Trustee, any paying agent or withholding agent may be required to deduct or
withhold from payments in respect of such Security under any present or future
law of Australia or any other jurisdiction or any regulation of any taxing
corporation thereof or therein and (ii) any reporting or other requirements under
such laws or regulations.  To the extent not otherwise prohibited by
applicable laws and regulations, the Company shall be entitled to determine its
duties and liabilities with respect to such deduction, withholding, reporting
or other requirements on the basis of information contained in such certificate
or, if no certificate shall be presented, on the basis of any presumption
created by any such law or regulation and shall be entitled to act in
accordance with such determination.

 

If this Security is designated
on the face hereof as an Original Issue Discount Security (an “Original
Discount Security”), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Security, upon the redemption or acceleration of the Stated Maturity of
this Security there shall be payable, in lieu of the principal amount due at
the Stated Maturity hereof, an amount equal to the Amortized Face Amount of
this Security.  The “Amortized Face Amount” of an Original Issue Discount
Security shall be the amount equal to the sum of (a) the issue price of this
Security (as defined below), plus (b) that portion of the difference between
the issue price and the principal amount of this Security that has been
amortized at the Stated Yield (as defined below) of this Security (computed in
accordance with generally accepted United States bond yield computation
principles) at the date as of which the Amortized Face Amount is calculated,
but in no event shall the Amortized Face Amount exceed the principal amount of
this Security due at the Stated Maturity hereof.  As used in the previous
sentence “issue price” means the principal amount due at the Stated Maturity
hereof less the Total Amount of OID of this Security specified on the face
hereof, and the “Stated Yield” of this Security means the Yield to Maturity
specified on the face hereof or if not so specified, the yield to maturity
compounded semi-annually and computed in accordance with generally accepted
United States bond yield computation principles

 

16

 

for the period from the Original Issue Date
hereof to the Stated Maturity hereof on the basis of its issue price and such
principal amount.

 

If this Security is
denominated in a Specified Currency, unless the Holder hereof is entitled to
make, and has made, a Specified Currency Payment Election with respect to such
payments as provided on the face hereof, the Holder of this Security shall
receive payments of principal and any premium and interest in U.S. dollars at
an exchange rate based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York
received by the Exchange Rate Agent (who, unless otherwise specified on the
face hereof, shall be the Trustee) at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City
time, on the second Market Day with respect to this Security preceding the
applicable payment date from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (one of
which may be the Exchange Rate Agent) selected by the Exchange Rate Agent and
approved by the Company for the purchase by the quoting dealer of the Specified
Currency for U.S. dollars for settlement on such payment date of the aggregate
amount of such Specified Currency payable to all Holders of Securities of this
series denominated in such Specified Currency and scheduled to receive U.S.
dollar payments on such payment date and at which the applicable dealer commits
to execute a contract.  All currency exchange costs incurred by the Company
in converting a Specified Currency into U.S. dollars in order to make payments
hereon will be borne by the Holder of this Security by deductions from such
payments.  If such bid quotations are not available, or if a Specified
Currency Payment Election has been made with respect to such payments, payments
will be made in the Specified Currency (or, if such Specified Currency is not
at the time of such payment legal tender for the payment of public and private
debts, such other coin or currency of the country which issued such Specified
Currency as at the time of such payment is legal tender for the payment of such
debts); provided, however, that if such Specified Currency (or,
if applicable, such other coin or currency) is unavailable due to the
imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s
control, the Company will be entitled to make payments in U.S. dollars on the
basis of the Market Exchange Rate for such Specified Currency (or, if
applicable, such other coin or currency) on the second Market Day with respect
to this Security prior to such payment date or, if such Market Exchange Rate is
not then available, on the basis of the most recently available Market Exchange
Rate or as otherwise indicated hereon.

 

If one or more Redemption
Dates (or ranges of Redemption Dates)  is specified on the face hereof,
this Security is subject to redemption upon not less than 30 days’ notice by
mail, on any such date (or during any such range), as a whole, or from time to
time in part, at the election of the Company, at a Redemption Price determined
as provided in the next succeeding sentence, together with accrued interest to
the Redemption Date; provided that interest installments whose Stated
Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holder
hereof (or one or more Predecessor Securities) of record at the close of
business on the Regular Record Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as
provided in the Indenture.  If applicable, the “Redemption Price” for any
such redemption shall be the amount determined by multiplying the Redemption
Percentage specified on the face hereof with respect to the relevant Redemption
Date (or range of such dates) by the portion of the principal amount hereof
(or, if this Security is an Original Issue Discount Security, the portion of
the Amortized Face Amount hereof) to be redeemed; provided, however,
that in no event shall the Redemption Price be less than 100% of the portion of
the principal amount hereof (or, if this Security is an Original Issue Discount
Security, the portion of the Amortized Face Amount hereof) to be redeemed.

 

In addition to its
ability to redeem this Security pursuant to the foregoing, this Security may be
redeemed at the option of the Company on the terms set forth, and as more fully
described, in the Indenture, in certain circumstances if the Company would be
required to pay Additional Amounts in respect hereof as a result of any change
or amendment of any law, regulation or published tax ruling of Australia, or
any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein affecting
taxation, or any change in the official administration, interpretation or
application of such laws, regulations or published tax rulings, in each case
occurring after the Issue Date hereof.

 

In the event of
redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this
series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in
the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

 

17

 

If one or more Repayment
Dates (Option of Holder) (or ranges of such dates) is specified on the face
hereof, this Security is subject to repayment on any such date (or during any
such range) or, if such date is not a Market Day, on the first Market Day
following such date, as a whole or from time to time in part, at the election
of the Holder hereof at a Repayment Price determined as provided in the fifth
succeeding sentence together with accrued interest thereon to the Repayment
Date, but interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the
Repayment Date will be payable to the Holder hereof of record at the close of
business on the Regular Record Date referred to on the face hereof, all as
provided in the Indenture.  Such election shall be effected by the Holder
hereof delivering to the Company at the principal corporate trust office of the
Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York not less than 30 nor
more than 60 days prior to the date on which this Security is to be repaid, or
during such other Notice Period specified on the face hereof, a notice
requesting such repayment in the form described below and specifying the date
upon which this Security is to be repaid.  Any notice given by a Holder
pursuant to this paragraph shall consist of either (i) this Security with the
form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” set forth of the end of this Security
duly completed or (ii) a telegram, facsimile transmission or a letter from a
member of a national securities exchange, or the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or trust company in the United
States setting forth the name of the Holder hereof, the principal amount of this
Security, the principal amount of this Security to be repaid, the certificate
number or a description of the terms of this Security, a statement that the
option to elect repayment is being exercised thereby and a guarantee that this
Security, together with the duly completed form entitled “Option to Elect
Repayment” below, will be received by the Trustee not later than the fifth
Business Day after the date of such telegram, facsimile transmission or letter;
provided, however, that such telegram, facsimile transmission or
letter shall only be effective if this Security and form duly completed are
received by the Trustee by such fifth Business Day.  Exercise of the
repayment option by the Holder hereof will be irrevocable.  If applicable,
the “Repayment Price” for any such repayment shall be the amount determined by
multiplying the Repayment Percentage (Option of Holder), specified on the face
hereof with respect to the relevant Repayment Date (Option of Holder) (or range
of such dates) by the portion of the principal amount hereof (or, if this
Security is an Original Issue Discount Security, the portion of the Amortized
Face Amount hereof) to be repaid, together with the interest accrued thereon to
the Repayment Date; provided, however, that in no event shall the
Repayment Price be less than 100% of the portion of the principal amount hereof
(or, if this Security is an Original Issue Discount Security, the portion of
the Amortized Face Amount hereof) to be repaid.

 

Under the existing
requirements of the Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority (“APRA”), no
redemption, purchase or repurchase of any Securities prior to their Stated
Maturity may be made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries without the
prior consent of APRA unless otherwise specified or determined by APRA.

 

If an Event of Default
with respect to the Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing,
the principal of the Securities of this series (or, in the case of Original
Issue Discount Securities, the Amortized Face Amount thereof) may be declared
due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the
Indenture.  Upon payment (i) of the amount of principal so declared
due and payable and (ii) of interest on any overdue principal and overdue
interest (in each case to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be
legally enforceable), all of the Company’s obligations in respect of the
payment of the principal of the interest, if any, on the Securities of this
series shall terminate.

 

The Indenture permits,
with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the
modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the
Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at
any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each
series to be affected.  The Indenture also contains provisions permitting
the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of
each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities
of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of
the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. 
Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security or variation of the
Negative Pledge shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the
registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof,
whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this
Security.  Unless otherwise specified or determined by APRA, the prior
approval of APRA is required to modify the terms of any Securities of any
series.

 

18

 

As provided in and
subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall
not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or
for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy
thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written
notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this
series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities
of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the
Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee
and shall have offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee,
during the 60 day period after receipt of such notice, request and offer of
indemnity, shall have failed to institute any such proceeding and shall not
have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities
of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such
request.  The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the
Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof
or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates
expressed herein.

 

No reference herein to
the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter
or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional,
to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security at the
times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

 

As provided in the
Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of
this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this
Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in
any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security
are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly
executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of
authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

 

As provided in the
Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Securities
of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of
Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized
denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.  Following
the exercise of any redemption option by the Holder hereof, the Trustee shall
not be required to issue, register the transfer of or exchange that portion of
this Security with respect to which such option has been exercised.

 

No service charge shall
be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge payable in connection therewith.

 

Prior to due presentment
of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any
agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not
this Security is overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such
agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

All terms used in this
Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to
them in the Indenture.

 

The Securities of this
series may be issued in the form of one or more Global Securities to The
Depository Trust Company, as depositary for the Global Securities of this
series (the “Depositary”), or its nominee and registered in the name of the
Depositary or such nominee.  If this Security is designated on the face
hereof as a Global Security, the transfer and exchange hereof is subject to the
limitations set forth in the Indenture and in the legends on the face
hereof.  Notwithstanding any other provision in the Indenture or of this
Global Security, this Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for
Securities registered, and no transfer of this Global Security in whole or in
part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for
this Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (A) such Depositary
(i) has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
Depositary for this Global Security or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing
agency registered under the Exchange Act, (B) there shall have occurred and be
continuing an

 

19

 

Event of Default with respect to this Global Security,
(C) the Company in its sole discretion shall have notified the Depositary that
the Global Securities shall be exchanged for such Securities or (D) there shall
exist such circumstances, if any, in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as
have been specified for this purpose as contemplated by Section 301 of the
Indenture.  Notwithstanding any other provision in the Indenture or of
this Global Security, if the restriction set forth in the preceding sentence
shall have ceased to apply to this Global Security it may be transferred only
to, and may be registered and exchanged for Securities registered only in the
name or names of, such Person or Persons as the Depositary for this Global
Security shall have directed and no transfer thereof other than such a transfer
may be registered.

 

In the Indenture, the Company
has appointed its Managing Director, Americas, acting through its office in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York located at 1177 Avenue of the
Americas, New York, New York, and his successors, as its authorized agent (“Authorized
Agent”) upon which process may be served in any legal action or proceeding
against it with respect to its obligations under the Securities or the
Indenture, as the case may be, instituted in any State or Federal court in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York by the Holder of any Security and
has irrevocably submitted to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any such court
in respect of such legal action.  Such appointment shall be irrevocable
until all amounts in respect of the principal of and any premium and interest
due and to become due on or in respect of all the Securities have been paid by
the Company to the Trustee pursuant to the terms of the Indenture and the
Securities and paid or returned to the Trustee as provided in Section 309
of the Indenture.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company has reserved
the right to appoint another person located or with an office in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, selected in its discretion, as a successor
Authorized Agent, and upon acceptance of such appointment by such a successor
the appointment of the prior Authorized Agent shall terminate.  If for any
reason the Company’s General Manager, Americas, ceases to be able to act as the
Authorized Agent or to have an address in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of
New York, the Company will appoint a successor Authorized Agent in accordance
with the preceding sentence.  The Company will take any and all action,
including the filing of any and all documents and instruments,
that may be necessary to continue such appointment or appointments in
full force and effect as aforesaid.  Service of process upon the
Authorized Agent addressed to it at the address set forth above, as such
address may be changed within the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York by
notice given by the Authorized Agent to the Trustee, together with written
notice of such service mailed or delivered to the Company at 100 Queen Street,
Melbourne, Victoria 3000 Australia, attention: Company Secretary, shall be
deemed, in every respect, effective service of process on the Company. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any action based on the Securities may be
instituted by a Holder of a Security in any competent court in the State of
Victoria or any court in Australia competent to hear appeals therefrom. 
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company has waived irrevocably any
immunity from jurisdiction to which it might otherwise be entitled in any
action based on the Securities or the Indenture which may be instituted by the
Holder of any Security in any State or Federal court in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York or in any competent court in the State of
Victoria or in Australia competent to hear appeals therefrom.

 

This Security and the
Indenture will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of
the State of New York, except that the authorization and execution hereof and
of the Indenture, the occurrence of an Event of Default and
Article Thirteen of the Indenture (which contains the subordination
provisions) will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of
the State of Victoria, Commonwealth of Australia.

entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of
Rule 13d-3 of the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act) of at least 51% or more of the combined voting power of the then
outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, the Option shall become fully vested and immediately exercisable. Installments shall be
cumulative, and the Option may be exercised as to any and all shares of Common Stock covered by an installment at any time after the installment becomes exercisable and prior to the expiration of
termination of the Option. 

        Summary of Other Terms:    This Option is defined in the Stock Option Agreement (Non-Statutory Stock Option) (the  "Option Agreement") which is attached to this Option Certificate (the "Certificate") as Annex I. This
Certificate summarizes certain of the provisions of the Option Agreement for your information, but is not complete. Your rights are governed by the Option Agreement,  not by this summary. The Company
strongly suggests that you carefully review the full Option Agreement prior to signing this Certificate or exercising
the Option. 

        Among
the terms of the Option Agreement are the following: 

        Termination of Employment: While the Option terminates on the Option Expiration Date, it will terminate earlier if you cease to be
employed by the Company or the direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company with whom you are employed (transfer of employment from one subsidiary to another will not constitute termination of
employment). If your employment ends due to retirement or death, the Option terminates eighteen months after the date of retirement or death, and is exercisable during such eighteen-month period as to
the portion of the Option which had vested prior to the date of retirement or death. If your employment ends due to disability, the Option terminates twelve months after the date of disability, and is
exercisable during such twelve-month period as to the portion of the Option which had vested prior to the date of disability. If your employment ends primarily as a result of an act of misconduct
described in 3(b) of the Option Agreement, or during the period when your rights under the Option have been suspended by the Company pursuant to that Section, the Option 

will
terminate immediately. In all other cases, the Option terminates ninety days after the date of termination of employment, and is exercisable during such time period as to the portion of the
Option which had vested prior to the date of termination of employment. See Section 5 of the attached Option Agreement. 

        Transfer:    The Option is personal to you, and cannot be sold, transferred, assigned or otherwise disposed of to any other
person, except upon your death. See Section 13(d) of the attached Option Agreement. 

        Exercise:    You can exercise the Option (while it is exercisable), in whole or in part, by delivering to the Company a Notice
of Exercise identical to Exhibit "A" attached to the Option Agreement, accompanied by payment of, or provision pursuant to the Option Agreement for the payment of, the Exercise Price for the Shares to
be purchased. The Company may require you to submit certain written reassurances to the Company with respect to your status as a shareholder. The Company will then issue a certificate to you for the
Shares you have purchased. You are under no obligation to exercise the Option. See Section 4 of the attached Option Agreement. 

        Reload Option:    If and to the extent that the Exercise Price is paid by delivery of shares of the Company's Common Stock (see
Section 4(b) of the attached Option Agreement), you will automatically be granted a new option (a "Reload Option") for a like number of shares, with an exercise price equal to the market value
of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise, and a term equal to the term of the Option. See Section 4(d) of the attached Option Agreement. 

        Adjustments upon Recapitalization:    The Option contains provisions which affect your rights in the event of stock splits,
stock dividends, mergers and other major corporate reorganizations. See Section 6 of the attached Option Agreement. 

        Waiver:    By signing this Certificate, you will be agreeing to all of the terms of the Option Agreement, including those not
summarized in this Certificate. You will waive your rights to options or stock which may otherwise have been promised to you. See Section 7 of the attached Option Agreement. 

        Withholding:    The Company may require you to make any arrangements necessary to insure the proper withholding of any amount of
tax, if any, required to be withheld by the Company as a result of the exercise of the Option. See Section 10 of the attached Option Agreement.

ANNEX I  

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

(Non-Statutory Stock Option)  

        This STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (this "Option Agreement") is made and entered into on the execution date of the Option
Certificate to which it is attached (the "Certificate"), by and between 3D Systems Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the  "Company"), and the Officer of
the Company named in the Certificate ("Employee"). 

        The
Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors of the Company (the  "Board") has authorized the grant to Employee of a non-statutory
stock option to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value
$0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Option Agreement. 

        The
Company and Employee agree as follows: 

	1.
	Grant of Option.

        The
Company hereby grants to Employee the right and option (the "Option"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Option Agreement, to purchase all or any portion of that number of shares of the Common Stock (the "Shares") set forth in the Certificate, at the Option
exercise price set forth in the Certificate (the "Exercise Price"). 

	2.
	Term of Option.

        The
Option shall terminate and expire on the Option Expiration Date set forth in the Certificate, unless sooner terminated as provided herein. In no event shall the Option be exercisable
after the expiration of ten years from the date it was granted. 

	3.
	Exercise Period.

        (a)   Subject
to the provisions of Sections 3(b) and 5 of this Option Agreement, the Option shall become exercisable (in whole or in part) upon and after the dates set
forth or referred to under the caption "Exercise Schedule" in the Certificate. The installments shall be cumulative; i.e., the Option may be exercised,
as to any or all Shares covered by an installment, at any time or times after the installment first becomes exercisable and until expiration or termination of the Option. 

        (b)   Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Option Agreement, the Option may not be exercised, in whole or in part, unless and until any
then-applicable requirements of all federal, state and local laws and regulatory agencies shall have been fully complied with to the satisfaction of the Company and its counsel. In
addition, if the Company believes that an Employee has committed an act of misconduct as described below, the Company may suspend the Employee's rights under any then outstanding Award pending a
determination by the Board of Directors of the Company. If the Board of Directors determines that an Employee has committed an act of embezzlement, fraud, nonpayment of any obligation owed to the
Company or any subsidiary, breach of fiduciary duty or deliberate disregard of the Company's rules resulting in loss, damage or injury to the Company, or if an Employee makes an unauthorized
disclosure of trade secret or confidential information of the Company, engages in any conduct constituting unfair competition, or induces any customer of the Company to breach a contract with the
Company, neither the Employee nor his or her estate shall be entitled to exercise any rights whatsoever with respect to such Award. In making such determination, the Board of Directors shall act
fairly and shall give the Employee a reasonable opportunity to appear and present evidence on his or her behalf at a hearing before a committee of the Board of Directors; and if the Employee is an
"officer" under Rule 16a-1(f) of the Rules, the determination of the Board of Directors shall be subject to the approval of the Committee. 

	4.
	Exercise of Option.

        There
is no obligation to exercise the Option, in whole or in part. The Option may be exercised, in whole or in part, only by delivery to the Company of: 

        (a)   written
notice of exercise in form and substance identical to Exhibit "A" attached to this Option Agreement stating the number of shares of Common Stock then being
purchased (the "Purchased Shares"); 

        (b)   the
Exercise Price for each Purchased Share shall be paid in full upon exercise and shall be payable in cash in United States dollars (including check, bank draft or
money order); provided, however, that in lieu of cash the person exercising the Option may pay the
Exercise Price in whole or in part by delivering to the Company shares of the Common Stock having a fair market value on the date of exercise of the Option equal to the Exercise Price for the Shares
being purchased; except that (i) any portion of the Exercise Price representing a fraction of a Share shall in any event be paid in cash and (ii) no shares of the Common Stock which have
been held for less than six months may be delivered in payment of the Exercise Price of an Option. Delivery of shares may also be accomplished through the effective transfer to the Company of shares
held by a broker or other agent. The Company will also cooperate with any person who participates in a cashless exercise program of a broker or other agent under which all or part of the shares
received upon exercise of the Option are sold through the broker or other agent or under which the broker or other agent makes a loan to such person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exercise of the
Option shall not be deemed to occur and no shares of Common Stock will be issued by the Company upon exercise of the Option until the Company has received payment of the Exercise Price in full. The
date of exercise of an Option shall be determined under procedures established by the Committee. Payment of the Exercise Price with shares shall not increase the number of shares of the Common Stock
which may be issued under the agreement. 

        (c)   If
payment is made, in whole or in part, by transfer to the Corporation of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, the value of such shares shall be the mean
between the following prices, as applicable, for the date as of which fair market value is to be determined as quoted in The Wall Street Journal (or in
such other reliable publication as the Company, in its discretion, may determine to rely upon): (i) if the Common Stock is listed on a United States securities exchange, the highest and lowest
sales prices per share of Common Stock for such date on the principal United States securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, or (ii) if the Common Stock is not listed on any
such exchange, the highest and lowest sales prices per share of the Common Stock for such date on the Nasdaq National Market or any successor system then in use. If there are no such sale price
quotations for the date as of which fair market value is to be determined but there are such sale price quotations within a reasonable period both before and after such date, then fair market value
shall be determined by taking an average of the means between the highest and lowest sales prices per share of the Common Stock as so quoted on the nearest date before and the nearest date after the
date as of which fair market value is to be determined. If there are no such sale price quotations on or within a reasonable period both before and after the date as of which fair market value is to
be determined, then fair market value of the Common Stock shall be the mean between the bona fide bid and asked prices per share of Common Stock as so quoted for such date on Nasdaq, or if none, the
average of the means between such bid and asked prices on the nearest trading date before and the nearest trading date after the date as of which fair market value is to be determined, if both such
dates are within a reasonable period. If the fair market value of the Common Stock cannot be determined on the basis set forth above, the Committee shall in good faith determine the fair market value
of the Common Stock as of such date. 

        (d)   If
Employee delivers shares of Common Stock in payment of the Exercise Price of the Option, as provided in Paragraph 4(b) above, the Employee shall be
automatically granted the additional right and option (the "Reload Option") to purchase all or any portion of that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock so
delivered upon exercise of the Option. Each Reload Option shall (i) have a per Share Exercise Price equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of exercise of the Option to
which such 

Reload
Option relates, determined pursuant to Section 4(c) of this Option Agreement; (ii) have a term no longer than the remaining term of the Option at the time of exercise;
(iii) become exercisable in full from and after that date which is six months following its date of grant; and (iv) otherwise have terms and conditions identical to the Option. The
Company shall promptly following the grant of a Reload Option prepare and deliver to Employee a written option agreement memorializing the grant of such Reload Option; but the failure to prepare and
deliver such documentation shall not affect the continuing validity and enforceability of such Reload Option. 

	5.
	Termination of Employment.

        (a)   If
Employee shall cease to be an employee of the Company, or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company, (other than as the result of the transfer of employment of
Employee to another corporation which is the Company, or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company) for any reason other than retirement, death or permanent disability (a  "Terminating Event"),
Employee shall have the right, subject to the provisions of Section 5(b) below, to exercise the Option at any time
following such Terminating Event until the earliest to occur of (x) 90 days following the date of such Terminating Event and (y) the expiration of the term of this Option as set
forth in Section 2 of this Option Agreement. The Option may be exercised following a Terminating Event only to the extent exercisable as of the date of the Terminating Event. To the extent
unexercised at the end of the period referred to above, the Option shall terminate. The Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine whether authorized leaves of absence shall
constitute termination of employment for purposes of this Option Agreement. 

        (b)   Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 5(a), above, if Employee shall cease to be an employee of the Company, or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the
Company (other than as the result of the transfer of employment of Employee to another corporation which is the Company, or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company) primarily as a result of
any Act of Misconduct described in Paragraph 3(b) above, or during the period when Employee's rights under this Option Agreement have been suspended by the Company, Employee's rights to
exercise the Option shall terminate immediately. 

        (c)   If,
by reason of retirement, death or disability (a "Special Terminating Event"), Employee shall cease to be an employee
the Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company (other than as the result of the transfer of employment of Employee to another corporation which is the Company, or any direct or
indirect subsidiary of the Company), then Employee, Employee's executors or
administrators or any person or persons acquiring the Option directly from Employee by bequest or inheritance, shall have the right to exercise the Option (i) in the event of Employee's
disability, within twelve months following the date of such Special Terminating Event, or (ii) in the event of Employee's retirement, or in the event of Employee's death, within eighteen months
of either Special Terminating Event. The Option may be exercised following a Special Terminating Event only to the extent exercisable at the date of the Special Terminating Event. To the extent
unexercised at the end of the period referred to above, the Option shall terminate. 

        (d)   For
purposes of this Option Agreement, "disability" shall mean total and permanent disability as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the "Code"). Employee shall not be considered permanently disabled unless he furnishes proof of such disability in such form and manner, and at such times, as the Committee may from time
to time require. 

	6.
	Adjustments upon Recapitalization.

        In
the event of any change in the outstanding shares of the Common Stock or other securities then subject to the this agreement by reason of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock
dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination or exchange of shares or other similar corporate change, or if the outstanding securities of the class then subject to this Agreement are
exchanged for or converted into cash, property or a different kind of securities, or if cash, property or securities are distributed in respect of such outstanding securities (other than a regular
cash divided) then, unless the 

terms
of such transaction shall otherwise provide, such equitable adjustments shall be made by the Board, or the Committee, in the Option (including, without limitation, appropriate and proportionate
adjustments to the number and type of shares or other securities or cash or other property that may be acquired pursuant to exercise of the Option); and any such adjustments made by the Board or the
Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive for any and all purposes. 

	7.
	Waiver of Rights to Purchase Stock.

        By
signing this Option Agreement, Employee acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company nor any other person or entity is under any obligation to sell or transfer to Employee any
option or equity security of the Company, other than the shares of Common Stock subject to the Option and any other right or option to purchase Common Stock which was previously granted in writing to
Employee by the Committee (or the Board). By signing this Option Agreement, Employee specifically waives all rights
which he or she may have had prior to the date of this Option Agreement (other than any other right or option to purchase Common Stock which was previously granted in writing to Employee by the
Committee or the Board) to receive any option or equity security of the Company. 

	8.
	No Rights as Shareholder.

        Except
as provided in Section 6 of this Option Agreement, Employee shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to the Shares until the date of the issuance to Employee of a
stock certificate or stock certificates evidencing such Shares. Except as may be provided in Section 6 of this Option Agreement, no adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or
extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property) or distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate is issued. 

	9.
	Modification.

        The
Committee (or the Board) may modify, extend or renew the Option or accept the surrender of, and authorize the grant of a new option in substitution for, the Option (to the extent not
previously exercised). No modification of the Option shall be made which, without the consent of Employee, would cause the Option to fail to continue to qualify as an "incentive stock option" within
Section 422 of the Code or would alter or impair any rights of the Employee under the Option. 

	10.
	Withholding.

        The
Company shall be entitled to require as a condition of delivery of any Purchased Shares upon exercise of any Option that the Employee agree to remit, at the time of such delivery or
at such later date as the Company may determine, an amount sufficient to satisfy all federal, state and local withholding tax requirements relating thereto, and Employee agrees to take such other
action required by the Company to satisfy such withholding requirements. 

	11.
	Services of Option Holder.

        In
consideration for the grant of the Option, Employee agrees to remain in the employ of, and shall continue to render services to, the Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary of
the Company, as the Committee may from time to time direct, for a period of one year from the date of this Option Agreement. This provision shall not obligate the Company, or such subsidiary, to
continue to employ, or utilize the services of, Employee for any period whatsoever. The sole remedy to the Company should Employee breach his or her obligations under this Section 11 shall be
to cancel this Option Agreement and the Option granted under this Option Agreement. For the purposes of this Option Agreement, the term "subsidiary" shall mean any present or future corporation which
would be a "subsidiary corporation" of the Company, as defined in Section 424 of the Code. 

	12.
	Character of Option.

        The
Option is not intended to qualify as an "incentive stock option" as that term is defined in Section 422 of the Code. 

	13.
	General Provisions.

        (a)   Further Assurances. Employee shall promptly take all actions and execute all documents requested by the Company which the
Company deems to be reasonably necessary to effectuate the terms and intent of this Option Agreement. 

        (b)   Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Option Agreement shall be in writing and
shall be given to the parties hereto as follows: 

	

 	
 	

14.	
 	

If to the Company, to:
	

 	
 	

 	
 	

3D Systems Corporation

26081 Avenue Hall

Valencia, CA 91355

Attention: General Counsel
	

 	
 	

15.	
 	

If to Employee, to the address set forth in the records of the Company,

or
at such other address or addresses as may have been furnished by such either party in writing to the other party hereto. Any such notice, request, demand or other communication shall be effective
(i) if given by mail, 72 hours after such communication is deposited in the mail by first-class certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as aforesaid; or
(ii) if given by any other means, when delivered at the address specified in this subparagraph (b). 

        (c)   Transfer of Rights under this Option Agreement. The Company may at any time transfer and assign its rights and delegate
its obligations under this Option Agreement to any other person, corporation, firm or entity, including its officers, directors and stockholders, with or without consideration. 

        (d)   Option Non-Transferable. Employee may not sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of the Option except by
will or by the laws of descent or distribution, or pursuant to a domestic relations order (as defined in the Code or Title I of ERISA). During the lifetime of the Employee, the Option may be
exercisable only by the Employee or by his or her guardian or legal representative, or, with respect to an Option transferred pursuant to a domestic relations order, by the transferee thereof. In the
event of a transfer effected pursuant to a domestic relations order: (i) the exercisability, and the exercise schedule of the Option, shall be based upon the employment of the Employee hereof,
and thus, without limiting the generality of this provision, should the employment of Employee be terminated, vesting and termination of the Option will be determined as if it were still held by
Employee; (ii) the following provisions shall have no further force or effect: Section 4(d) (dealing with "Reload Options"), 11 ("Services of Option Holder"), and 12 ("Character of
Option"); and in all other respects and particulars, the term "Employee" shall include such transferee. 

        (e)   Market Stand-Off. In the event of an underwritten public offering by the Company of its equity securities
pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Employee shall not sell, make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option for the
repurchase of, or otherwise dispose or transfer for value, or otherwise agree to engage in
any of the foregoing transactions with respect to any shares of Common Stock without the prior written consent of the Company or its underwriters, for such period of time from and after the effective
date of such registration statement as may be requested by the Company or such underwriters (the "Market Stand-Off"); provided, however,
that in no event shall such period exceed 180 days. 

        (f)    Successors and Assigns. Except to the extent specifically limited by the terms and provisions of this Option Agreement,
this Option Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives. 

        (g)   Governing Law. THIS OPTION AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA 

APPLICABLE
TO CONTRACTS MADE IN, AND TO BE PERFORMED SOLELY WITHIN, THAT STATE. 

        (h)   Miscellaneous. Titles and captions contained in this Option Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and
do not constitute a part of this Option Agreement for any other purpose.
