2	Insurance

2.1

Company to obtain and maintain D&O Policy

(a)

To the extent permitted by law, the Company must use reasonable endeavours throughout the Access Period to maintain an insurance policy with a reputable insurer for the benefit of the Officeholder that insures the Officeholder against all Insurable Liability so far as is available at a reasonable cost which contains the reasonable kinds of cover, terms and conditions, exclusions and additional cover commonly included in a directors and officers’ insurance policy in Australia for a company operating the sorts of businesses that are carried on by the Company or any Group Company in which the Officeholder provides or provided services in the capacity as an Officer and having regard to the Company’s or such relevant Group Companies’ circumstances at the time. The Company agrees that it will consult with the Officeholder in relation to the conduct of negotiations for the policy.

(b)

At all times during the Post-Appointment Period, the D&O Policy must be on terms no less favourable to the Officeholder in any material respect than:

(i)

if the Company maintains a directors and officers’ insurance policy for its then present officers, the terms applicable to that policy (provided that such policy is maintained with a reputable insurer for the benefit of the former Officeholder that insures the former Officeholder against all Insurable Liability so far as is available at a reasonable cost which contains the

Gilbert + Tobin

page | 1

reasonable kinds of cover, terms and conditions commonly included in a directors and officers’ insurance policy in Australia for a company operating the sorts of businesses that are carried on by the Company or any Group Company in which the Officeholder provides or provided services in the capacity as an Officer and having regard to the Company’s or such applicable Group Companies’ circumstances at the time); or

(ii)

if the Company does not maintain a directors and officers’ insurance policy for its then present officers, a policy that is maintained with a reputable insurer for the benefit of the former Officeholder that insures the former Officeholder against all Insurable Liability so far as is available at a reasonable cost which contains the kinds of cover, terms and conditions commonly included in a directors and officers’ insurance policy in Australia for a company operating the sorts of businesses that are carried on by the Company or any Group Company in which the Officeholder provided services in the capacity as an Officer and having regard to the Company’s or such applicable Group Companies’ circumstances at the time.

2.2

Amendment of D&O Policy

If:

(a)

the Company determines that the cost of maintaining the D&O Policy is such that it is not in the interests of the Company to maintain it, having regard to the scope of cover and any other reasonable considerations; or

(b)

the Company is unable to obtain the D&O Policy on reasonable terms,

the Company must continue to maintain a D&O Policy, but may reduce the scope of that D&O Policy to the extent it considers reasonable having regard to its obligations under clause 2.1 whether with the same insurer, or another insurer.

2.3

Premium and costs

(a)

Except to the extent that the Company is not permitted by law to pay those amounts, the Company must pay all premium and costs payable for the D&O Policy.

(b)

The Company must, to the extent that any part of the premium for the D&O Policy may not by law be paid by the Company, give the Officeholder notice of and a reasonable opportunity to contribute that part of the additional premium which is attributable to the Officeholder (if required for the policy to be effective).

2.4

Notice to Officeholder

(a)

At the request of an Officeholder during the Access Period, the Company must give the Officeholder a copy of the terms of any D&O Policy and any certificates of insurance in connection with it, which it has obtained for the benefit of that Officeholder.

(b)

The Company must notify the Officeholder immediately in writing if, for any reason, the D&O Policy is cancelled or not renewed or if the insurer alleges that the policy is void, voidable or otherwise unenforceable.

Gilbert + Tobin

page | 2

2.5

No prejudice to D&O Policy

(a)

The Company and the Officeholder must each use reasonable endeavours not to do or permit anything to be done which may prejudice or render any part of the D&O Policy void, voidable or otherwise unenforceable.

(b)

The Company must immediately rectify anything within its control that might prejudice or render any part of the D&O Policy void, voidable or otherwise unenforceable.

2.6

Officeholder’s undertaking in connection with insurance

Subject to clause 2.3, the Officeholder agrees during the Access Period to:

(a)

do anything the Company reasonably requires to enable the Company to take out and maintain the D&O Policy including providing the Company with the information requested by it, to the extent required by it to comply with its disclosure obligations it relation to the D&O Policy, within a reasonable period before the renewal of the D&O Policy;

(b)

comply at all times with all their obligations under the D&O Policy and not to take any action that is a breach of the D&O Policy; and

(c)

report all claims and any circumstances which could give rise to a claim being made by any person under the D&O Policy.

2.7

Officeholder’s acknowledgement in connection with insurance

(a)

Without limiting the Company’s obligations under this clause 2, the Officeholder acknowledges the terms of the D&O Policy may be renegotiated from time to time, and that any such renegotiation, may:

(i)

involve the insurer who provides the D&O Policy varying the terms of the insurance policy offered which, if accepted by the Company, may provide less coverage or less favourable coverage for the Officeholder (including having regard to what is in the best interests of the Company);

(ii)

involve the Company, acting reasonably, balancing the proposed level of premiums and other costs against the terms offered; or

(iii)

result in a decision by the Company to accept varied terms from the existing insurer or to change to another reputable insurer (on either the same or differing terms).

(b)

The Company must notify the Officeholder and keep the Officeholder reasonably informed of the progress and status of any renegotiations of the terms of the D&O Policy.

(c)

Nothing in this deed modifies or limits any obligation of the Officeholder under the terms of any applicable D&O Policy. Furthermore, the terms of this deed shall not negate any obligation that the Officeholder might have to assist the Company in complying with any obligations it may have under the terms of such D&O Policy and the Officeholder must not take or fail to take any action which may prejudice the ability of the Company to recover under any such D&O Policy.

3	Indemnity

3.1

Grant of Indemnity

(a)

Subject to clause 3.1(b)(i), the Company must, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify the Officeholder against:

(i)

any Liability in connection with an Officeholder’s Act (other than Legal Costs which are dealt with in clause 3.1(a)(ii)); and

(ii)

Legal Costs which are incurred by the Officeholder:

(A)

in being represented or advised in connection with an Action, whether or not instigated by the Officeholder;

(B)

in preparing for, appearing before or providing information to an Inquiry in which the Officeholder is involved as an Officer of the Company or a Group Company; or

(C)

in good faith in obtaining legal advice on issues relevant to their performance of their functions and the discharge of their duties as an officer of the Company or a Group Company, subject to complying with any requirements imposed by the Board from time to time, including under any applicable charter of the Board or policy of the Company.

(b)

The indemnity in clause 3.1(a):

(i)

applies to the extent to which, and for an amount that, the Officeholder is not indemnified by a Third Party (other than the Ultimate Parent Company or any of its insurers); and

(ii)

extends to Liabilities arising out of Actions brought during, or arising after, the Appointment Period.

(c)

The Board may declare that the indemnity in clause 3.1(a) does not apply if in the Board’s reasonable opinion the Liability is in connection with an Officeholder’s Act which is committed by (or omitted to be done by) the Officeholder and would either:

(i)

constitute an indictable offence; or

(ii)

be fraudulent, dishonest or a wilful default of the Officeholder’s duties as an officeholder of the Company or a Group Company.

3.2

Relationship between indemnity and insurance and Third Parties

(a)

If the Officeholder is covered by an insurance policy or entitled to any other indemnity from a Third Party for any Liability for which the Officeholder is entitled to be indemnified under this deed, then:

(i)

the Officeholder must:

(A)

in the first instance claim from the Third Party (other than where such Third Party is the Ultimate Parent Company or any of its insurers) under the applicable insurance policy or other indemnity that covers the Liability, and notify and keep the Company informed of the status

Gilbert + Tobin

page | 4

and conduct of the Officeholder's claim with the Third Party under the applicable insurance policy or other indemnity that covers the Liability; and

(B)

then claim under the D&O Policy and in such case, use reasonable endeavours to assist the Company to pursue a claim for the Liability under the D&O Policy,

provided that, the Officeholder may, but shall not have any obligation to, claim from the Ultimate Parent Company or any of its insurers (whose obligations, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be secondary to the Company’s obligation under clause 3.2(a)(i)(B));

(ii)

the Officeholder may also seek indemnification from the Company under this deed pending the outcome of the claim under the insurance policy or other indemnity made under clause 3.2(a)(i)(A) unless indemnification under this deed may enable an insurer or other Third Party to deny insurance cover or other indemnity to the Officeholder for any Liability, in which case, any payment made by the Company under this deed is to be taken to be an interest-free loan which is repayable in accordance with clause 3.4 (Repayment by Officeholder); and

(iii)

if a payment has been made by a Third Party (other than where such Third Party is the Ultimate Parent Company or any of its insurers) under an insurance policy or other indemnity for the Liability and the Company has not made any payment under the indemnity granted under clause 3.1 (Grant of Indemnity) in relation to that Liability then the Company may reduce the amount to be paid under the indemnity by a sum equal to the amount received by the Officeholder under the insurance policy or other indemnity.

(b)

where a claim is made to the Ultimate Parent Company or any of its insurers under clause 3.2 and a payment has been made by the Ultimate Parent Company or any of its insurers for the Liability:

(i)

the Ultimate Parent Company or any of its insurers (as applicable) shall be fully subrogated to all rights of the Officeholder with respect to such payment; and

(ii)

the Company shall fully indemnify, reimburse and hold harmless the Ultimate Parent Company or any of its insurers (as applicable) for all such payments actually made by them.

3.3

Payments and advances

(a)

If the Officeholder is entitled to be indemnified under this deed, the Company must pay to the Officeholder an amount claimed under the indemnity in clause 3.1 (Grant of Indemnity). This must be done within 30 days after receipt by the Company of the written notice that the Officeholder has incurred the Liability, such notice to include evidence satisfactory to the Company that:

(i)

the Officeholder has incurred the Liability; and

(ii)

the amount is due and payable.

(b)

Subject to clause 3.3(c), the Company must pay to the Officeholder:

Gilbert + Tobin

page | 5

(i)

prior to incurring the Legal Costs, a sum equal to the estimate of the Officeholder’s Legal Costs, if the Officeholder has requested that such costs and expenses be advanced, loaned or otherwise provided to the Officeholder to prepare for or conduct an Action; or

(ii)

the Officeholder’s Legal Costs within 30 days following receipt by the Company of the account for those Legal Costs.

(c)

Amounts payable under clause 3.3(b):

(i)

must be reasonable in the circumstances of the Company;

(ii)

do not include Legal Costs for which it would not be possible to be indemnified under this deed;

(iii)

may be paid by the Company on such terms as the Company thinks fit, acting reasonably; and

(iv)

must be repaid if required by clause 3.4 (Repayment by Officeholder).

(d)

Subject to clause 3.4 below, the parties recognise that where a claim is made by an Officeholder in respect of Legal Costs, and the facts necessary to determine whether indemnity or insurance is available to cover the Legal Costs may not be ascertained or resolved for some time, the Company will advance a payment to the Officeholder for the Legal Costs claimed in accordance with clause 3.3(b).

3.4

Repayment by Officeholder

(a)

If the Company has paid any amount under this deed to or on behalf of the Officeholder in connection with a Liability, the Officeholder must repay the funds advanced within 30 days after receiving a written request from the Company specifying the amount to be repaid, to the extent that:

(i)

the Liability is or becomes a Liability for which the Officeholder is not entitled to be indemnified under this deed; or

(ii)

in respect of the Liability or Legal Costs or any Action relating to them, the Officeholder has failed to perform an obligation in this deed and the Company can reasonably demonstrate that the Officeholder’s failure to perform has materially increased the Liability to be indemnified by the Company under this deed.

(b)

If the Company has paid any amount under this deed to or on behalf of the Officeholder in connection with a Liability, the Officeholder must repay the amounts to the Company within 30 days if, and to the extent that:

(i)

a court of competent jurisdiction (with all appeals exhausted or rights of appeal lapsed) determines that the Officeholder is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company for the Liability;

(ii)

the Officeholder recovers any sums under any insurance policy (including the D&O Policy) or other indemnity from a Third Party (other than the Ultimate Parent Company or any of its insurers) for the Liability; or

(iii)

the Officeholder recovers any sums from the Ultimate Parent Company or any of its insurers for the Liability, to enable the Company to repay such

Gilbert + Tobin

page | 6

sums to the Ultimate Parent Company or any of its insurers (as applicable) in accordance with clause 3.2(b)(ii).

3.5

Nature of indemnities

(a)

The indemnities in this deed are continuing obligations, independent of the Company’s other obligations under this deed.

(b)

It is not necessary for the Officeholder to incur expense or make payment before enforcing a right of indemnity under this deed.

3.6

Tax

(a)

The payment that the Company must pay to the Officeholder under the indemnity given in clause 3.1 (Grant of Indemnity) is reduced to the extent that the Officeholder is entitled to a deduction or other tax benefit for the Liability or Legal Costs that are the subject of the indemnity payment.

(b)

The Company must pay to the Officeholder an additional amount if for any reason payment made under the indemnity given in clause 3.1 (Grant of Indemnity) is regarded as assessable income of the Officeholder under any law relating to tax.

(c)

The additional amount which the Company must pay under paragraph (b) is that amount which ensures that after deducting or withholding from the indemnity payment the amount of the tax paid or payable by the Officeholder in respect of that indemnity payment, the Officeholder receives an amount equal to the amount the Officeholder would have received if the indemnity payment was not assessable income of the Officeholder.

(d)

The Company and the Officeholder must co-operate promptly and reasonably with each other to establish the matters relevant to determining the effect of this clause 3.6.

3.7

Requirement for shareholder approval

If shareholder approval is required for any payment under the indemnity granted in clause 3.1 (Grant of Indemnity), then the Company must:

(a)

act promptly to take all reasonable steps to obtain that approval; and

(b)

make the payment within 14 days after obtaining that shareholder approval.

4	Conduct of Actions

4.1

Officeholder to give notice of potential claims and other obligations

(a)

The Officeholder must notify the Company in writing as soon as reasonably practical after the Officeholder has become aware of:

(i)

all facts which the Officeholder reasonably believes may give rise to a claim under the indemnity in clause 3.1 (Grant of Indemnity); and

(ii)

any additional facts related to, or associated, with the facts referred to in sub-paragraph (i).

Gilbert + Tobin

page | 7

(b)

Subject to clause 3.4(a)(ii), failure by the Officeholder to give notice required under paragraph (a) does not affect the entitlement of the Officeholder to be indemnified under clause 3.1 (Grant of Indemnity).

(c)

The Officeholder also agrees at all times:

(i)

to keep the Company informed of the status of the action upon request by the Company;

(ii)

to notify the Company in writing as soon as reasonably practical of any offer of settlement or compromise received from a person bringing an Action or otherwise party to an Action;

(iii)

not to admit any liability for, or settle, any Action (or any appeal) which may give rise to a request by the Officeholder for indemnity under this deed without the prior written consent of the Company, which is not to be unreasonably withheld;

(iv)

to take any action (including providing information), and to provide all assistance to the best of the Officeholder’s ability, that the Company may reasonably require to avoid, defend or appeal any Action which could reasonably be expected to give rise to a request by the Officeholder for indemnity under this deed; and

(v)

if the Company provides notice under clause 4.2 (Company may conduct an Action), to do everything the Company reasonably requests to enable the Company to enforce its rights under that clause and clause 4.5 (Conduct of Action by the Company).

4.2

Company may conduct an Action

Subject to clause 4.3 (No conduct of the Action by the Company), if the Company is obliged to indemnify the Officeholder under this deed for Legal Costs or agrees to make a payment under clause 3.3(b), the Company may give a written notice to the Officeholder at any time after:

(a)

receiving a notice from the Officeholder under clause 4.1(a); or

(b)

receiving a request for the payment of Legal Costs under clause 3.3(b); or

(c)

at any time after becoming aware of an Action (including an appeal) which may result in, or otherwise be connected with, a claim under this deed,

indicating that it or any applicable Group Company, wants to do one or more of the following:

(d)

assume, either by itself or with an insurer, the conduct, negotiation or defence of the Action (including any appeal) on behalf of the Officeholder;

(e)

retain legal counsel to act on behalf of the Officeholder in connection with the Action;

(f)

settle any Action (or any appeal) with the consent of the Officeholder (which must not be unreasonably withheld);

(g)

bring Actions against a Third Party in the name of the Officeholder; and

Gilbert + Tobin

page | 8

(h)

as far as legally possible, elect to be subrogated to the rights of the Officeholder against a Third Party in connection with the Action and any Liability arising in connection with the Action, unless an insurer is entitled to be subrogated to those rights.

The Company may give more than one notice under this clause 4.1 in respect of a particular Action.

4.3

No conduct of the Action by the Company

The Company will not be entitled to give a written notice under clause 4.2 (Company may conduct an Action), or to do or continue to do the things listed in sub-clauses 4.2(d) to 4.2(g), to the extent that the Officeholder has provided the Company with a Conflict Claim in accordance with clause 4.4 (Disputes about a Conflict), and either:

(a)

the Company does not notify the Officeholder that it disputes the Officeholder’s Conflict Claim within the time limit provided in clause 4.4 (Disputes about a Conflict); or

(b)

Senior Counsel makes determination under clause 4.4 (Disputes about a Conflict) that there is a Conflict, or there is a reasonable likelihood of a Conflict.

Nothing in this clause 4.3 (No conduct of the Action by the Company) affects any rights that the Company may have under sub-clause 4.2(h) (or under law) to be subrogated to the rights of the Officeholder.

4.4

Disputes about a Conflict

(a)

A conflict means a material conflict, or a reasonable likelihood of material conflict, between the interests of the Officeholder and the Company in relation to the conduct of an Action by the Company on the Officeholder’s behalf (having regard to, amongst other things, the types and nature of any orders or penalties that may be made or imposed on the Officeholder and the Company (or any applicable Group Company) and the nature of the defences respectively available to the Company (or any applicable Group Company) and the Officeholder) (Conflict).

(b)

If in the opinion of the Officeholder, acting reasonably and in accordance with legal advice, there is a Conflict the Officeholder may notify the Company in writing (Conflict Claim). The Conflict Claim must enclose a copy of the legal advice received by the Officeholder which supports the Conflict Claim.

(c)

If the Company, acting reasonably, disagrees that there is a Conflict, or otherwise disputes the Conflict Claim, the Company must send notice of its reasons to the Officeholder within seven days of receipt of the Conflict Claim (which must enclose a copy of the legal advice received by the Company which supports the position). If the parties are unable to resolve their dispute within seven days, either party may refer the dispute for resolution by a Senior Counsel selected jointly by the parties, or, if no Senior Counsel can be agreed by the parties within the same seven day period, by a Senior Counsel selected by the President of the Bar Association of News South Wales at either party’s request.

(d)

The Senior Counsel must act as an expert and not as an arbitrator and the costs of Senior Counsel must be met by the Company. The procedures for determination are to be decided by the Senior Counsel in his or her discretion.

(e)

The decision of the Senior Counsel is, in the absence of manifest error, conclusive and binding on the parties for the purposes of determining whether there is a

Gilbert + Tobin

page | 9

Conflict between the Officeholder and the Company (or any applicable Group Company) in relation to the conduct of an Action by the Company on the Officeholder’s behalf.

(f)

The parties must act in good faith and with due expedition to resolve any dispute under this clause 4.4 (Disputes about a Conflict).

(g)

Each party agrees that, to the extent that party is required to provide a copy of legal advice under this clause 4.4, that party may redact from the legal advice any information that is not relevant to support a Conflict Claim under this clause 4.4, in advance of providing the legal advice to the Company.

4.5

Conduct of Action by the Company

In the event that the Company provides notice under clause 4.2 (Notice and conduct of an Action), the Company may manage and control the conduct of the Action in the manner permitted by clause 4.2 (Notice and conduct of an Action) if it:

(a)

without limiting clause 3.4 (Repayment by Officeholder), does so at the cost of the Company or its insurers;

(b)

provides adequate security for all legal and other costs incurred in connection with the defence of any claim arising from the Action and pays those costs as they arise in accordance with the terms of this deed;

(c)

consults with the Officeholder (except where it is impracticable to do so) about material decisions regarding the Action;

(d)

instructs its legal counsel on behalf of the Company and the Officeholder in relation to the Action, so that to the extent reasonably practicable, legal professional privilege, where applicable to a communication relating to the Action, is owned jointly by the Company (or any applicable Group Company) and the Officeholder;

(e)

takes into account the Officeholder’s interests (including the Officeholder’s reputation) in making material decisions about the Action (including any admissions of liability); and

(f)

keeps the Officeholder, and the Officeholder’s independent legal adviser (if any), reasonably informed of developments regarding the Action,

provided that:

(g)

this entire clause 4.5 (Conduct of Action by the Company) is subject to the Company’s obligations to its insurers; and

(h)

nothing in this clause 4.5 (Conduct of Action by the Company) obliges the Company to:

(i)

comply with the Officeholder’s wishes; or

(ii)

give effect to the Officeholder’s interests where it would be materially prejudicial to the interests of the Company or any Group Company to do so.

4.6

Control of Action when conducted by the Officeholder

If the Officeholder is responsible for the conduct, negotiation or defence of an Action, the Officeholder must (in addition to its obligations under clause 4.1(c)):

Gilbert + Tobin

page | 10

(a)

consult with the Company about material decisions regarding the Action;

(b)

take into account the Company’s interests and the interests of any applicable Group Company (including the Company’s reputation and any obligations of the Company or any Group Company under any D&O Policy) in making material decisions about the Action (including any admissions of liability); and

(c)

keep the Company reasonably informed of developments regarding the Action.

4.7

Separate legal advisers appointed by the Officeholder

The Officeholder may appoint legal or other advisors to assist the Officeholder in connection with an Action, not being the advisers assisting the Company in connection with the Action, or in connection with circumstances determined by the Officeholder, acting reasonably, to warrant the appointment of such independent advisor.

The Company agrees to pay all reasonable Legal Costs and other costs and expenses incurred by the Officeholder in relation to the appointment of such advisers if:

(a)

they are incurred before the Company or applicable Group Company assumes conduct of the Action; or

(b)

they are incurred because the Officeholder is conducting the Action rather than the Company, applicable Group Company (or its insurer); or

(c)

they are otherwise incurred with the consent of the Company (which must not be unreasonably withheld).

Nothing in this clause derogates from clause 3.1(a)(ii).

5	Board papers or Files

5.1

Board Papers or Files

The parties acknowledge and agree that all Board Papers or Files are the sole property of the Company or the applicable Group Company.

5.2

Delivery up on resignation

Subject to clause 5.4, if on the Resignation Date, the Officeholder holds any Board Papers or Files, then the Officeholder must immediately deliver up those Board Papers or Files to the Company.

5.3

Company’s obligations to keep Documents

During the Access Period, the Company agrees to use reasonable endeavours to maintain, and procure that each Group Company uses its reasonable endeavours to maintain:

(a)

a complete set of all Documents referred to in paragraph (a) of the definition of Board Papers in a safe and secure place and in chronological order; and

(b)

the Company Books in accordance with their usual practices.

Gilbert + Tobin

page | 11

5.4

Access Rights

(a)

In addition to any other right of access which the Officeholder may have to Board Papers or Files including, without limitation, under sections 198F or 290 of the Corporations Act or under the Company’s constitution, throughout the Access Period, the Officeholder may have access to and take copies of any Board Papers or Files:

(i)

directly in connection with an Action which is current or contemplated; and

(ii)

for any other purpose, if and to the extent approved by the Board of the Company or its delegate.

(b)

Subject to any right of access the Officeholder has under sections 198F or 290 of the Corporations Act, the Officeholder acknowledges and agrees that the Access Rights do not apply to the Board Papers or Files to the extent they contain information or legal advice directly in connection with an Action which is current or contemplated by the Company or a Group Company against the Officeholder.

(c)

On request from the Company, the Officeholder must return or destroy (at the Company’s option) copies of any Board Papers or Files provided under paragraph 5(a). The Officeholder must return or destroy the copies as soon as possible after they are no longer required for the permitted purpose for which access was granted under paragraph 5(a). This applies even after the Access Period has ended.

5.5

Request for Access Rights

To exercise Access Rights, the Officeholder must notify the Company specifying the Board Papers or Files to which they want Access Rights as well as the reason they want Access Rights.

5.6

Access to documents

(a)

If the request is one for which approval for access is required under clause 5.4(a)(ii), the Company agrees promptly to consider the request and notify the Officeholder of its decision.

(b)
