(d) | For the avoidance of doubt, the Investor will subscribe for the Convertible Securities in the sequential order set out in clause 2.1(a). | ||

(b) | For the avoidance of doubt and subject to clause 2.6(c), clause 2.6(a) does not restrict the Company from undertaking a rights issue, share purchase plan, raising money through placements of Shares or security issues at a fixed price per Share not in the nature of an on-going equity line arrangement. | |

2.7 | Rights upon issuance of other securities | |
(a) | If and whenever on or after the First Closing the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this clause 2.7(a) is deemed to have issued or sold, any Shares (including the issuance or sale of Shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company) for a consideration per share (New Issuance Price) less than a price equal to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale (such Conversion Price then in effect is referred to herein as the Applicable Price) (Dilutive Issuance), then, immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price for any Amount Outstanding from time to time and any other funds advanced by the Investor to the Company.

Convertible Securities Purchase Agreement |
Page 22 |
(b) | If the Company in any manner grants or sells any option to subscribe for shares (New Option) (save and except for options granted by the Company to employees and directors under employee share option plans in operation as at the date of this agreement if the exercise price of the option is not capable of amendment and is at least equal to the Company’s Closing Market Price on the date of issue of the option) and the lowest price per share for which one Share is at any time issuable upon the exercise of any such New Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any convertible securities issuable upon exercise of any such New Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof (New Option Exercise Price) is less than the Applicable Price, then for the purposes of clause 2.7(a), such Share shall be deemed to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such New Option for the New Option Exercise Price. For purposes of this clause 2.7(b), the New Option Exercise Price shall be equal to: | |||
(i) | the lower of: | |||
(A) | the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one Share upon the granting or sale of such New Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any convertible security issuable upon exercise of such New Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof: and | |||
(B) | the lowest exercise price set forth in such New Option for which one Share is issuable (or may become issuable assuming all possible market conditions) upon the exercise of any such New Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any convertible securities issuable upon exercise of any such New Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof, | |||
minus | ||||
(ii) | the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such New Option (or any other person) with respect to any one Share upon the granting or sale of such New Option, upon exercise of such New Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any convertible security issuable upon exercise of such New Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof plus the value of any other consideration consisting of cash, debt forgiveness, assets or any other property received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such New Option (or any other person). | |||
Except as set out in this clause 2.7, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Share or of such convertible securities upon the exercise of such New Options or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof or upon the actual issuance of such Shares upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such convertible securities. | ||||
(c) | If the Company in any manner issues or sells any convertible securities (New Convertible Securities) and the lowest price per share for which one Share is at any time issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof (New Convertible Securities Price) is less than the Applicable Price, then such Share shall be deemed to have been issued by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of New Convertible Securities for the New Convertible Securities Price per share. For the purposes of this clause 2.7(c), the New Convertible Securities Price shall be equal to: | |||
(i) | the lower of: | |||
(A) | the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one Share upon the issuance or sale of the New Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such New Convertible Security or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof; and | |||
(B) | the lowest conversion price set forth in such New Convertible Security for which one Share is issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof, | |||
minus | ||||
(ii) | the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such New Convertible Security (or any other person) with respect to any one Share upon the issuance or sale of such New Convertible Security plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable consisting of cash, debt forgiveness, assets or other property by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such New Convertible Security (or any other person). |
Convertible Securities Purchase Agreement |
Page 23 |
Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Shares upon conversion, exercise or exchange of New Convertible Securities or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof, and if any such issuance or sale of New Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any New Options for which adjustment of the Conversion Price has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this clause 2.7, except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issuance or sale. | ||||
(d) | If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any New Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any New Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any New Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Shares increases or decreases at any time (other than proportional changes in conversion or exercise prices, as applicable, in connection with an event referred to in clause 2.7(k)), the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had such New Options or New Convertible Securities provided for such increased or decreased purchase price, additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate (as the case may be) at the time initially granted, issued or sold (Adjustment Right). For purposes of this clause, if the terms of any option to subscribe for shares or convertible security that was outstanding as of the date of the First Closing are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such option or convertible security and the Shares deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this clause 2.7(d) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect. | |||
(e) | If any New Option and/or New Convertible Security and/or Adjustment Right (Secondary Securities) is issued in connection with the issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of any other securities of the Company (as determined by the Investor) (Primary Security), together comprising one integrated transaction (or one or more transactions if such issuances or sales or deemed issuances or sales of securities of the Company either: | |||
(i) | have at least one investor or purchaser in common; | |||
(ii) | are consummated in reasonable proximity to each other; and/or | |||
(iii) | are consummated under the same plan of financing, | |||
the aggregate consideration per Share with respect to such Primary Security shall be deemed to be equal to the difference of: | ||||
(iv) | the lowest price per share for which one Share was issued (or was deemed to be issued pursuant to clauses 2.7(b) or 2.7(c), as applicable) in such integrated transaction solely with respect to such Primary Security, | |||
minus | ||||
(v) | with respect to such Secondary Securities, the sum of: | |||
(A) | the Black Scholes Consideration Value of each such New Option, if any; | |||
(B) | the fair market value (as determined by the Investor in good faith) or the Black Scholes Consideration Value, as applicable, of such Adjustment Right, if any; and |
Convertible Securities Purchase Agreement |
Page 24 |
(C) | the fair market value (as determined by the Investor) of such New Convertible Security, if any, | |||
in each case, as determined on a per share basis in accordance with this clause 2.7(e). | ||||
(f) | If any Shares, New Options or New Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor (for the purpose of determining the consideration paid for such Shares, New Option or New Convertible Security, but not for the purpose of the calculation of the Black Scholes Consideration Value) will be deemed to be the net amount of consideration received by the Company therefor. | |||
(g) | If any Shares, New Options or New Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company (for the purpose of determining the consideration paid for such Shares, New Option or New Convertible Security, but not for the purpose of the calculation of the Black Scholes Consideration Value) will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company for such securities will be the arithmetic average of the VWAPs of such security for each of the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of receipt. | |||
(h) | If any Shares, New Options or New Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor (for the purpose of determining the consideration paid for such Shares, New Option or New Convertible Security, but not for the purpose of the calculation of the Black Scholes Consideration Value) will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non- surviving entity as is attributable to such Shares, New Options or New Convertible Securities (as the case may be). | |||
(i) | The fair value of any consideration other than cash or publicly traded securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Investor. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) Business Days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (Valuation Event), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Trading Days after the tenth (10th) Business Day following such Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Investor. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company. | |||
(j) | If the Company takes a record of the holders of Shares for the purpose of entitling them to: | |||
(i) | receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Shares, New Options or in New Convertible Securities; or | |||
(ii) | subscribe for or purchase Shares, New Options or New Convertible Securities, | |||
then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issuance or sale of the Shares deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase (as the case may be). | ||||
(k) | In addition to and not in limitation of the other provisions of this clause 2.7, if the Company in any manner issues or sells or enters into any agreement to issue or sell, any Shares, New Options or New Convertible Securities (Variable Price Securities), after the First Closing that are issuable pursuant to such agreement or convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares at a price which varies or may vary with the market price of the Shares, including by way of one or more reset(s) to a fixed price, but exclusive of such formulations reflecting customary anti-dilution provisions (such as share splits, share combinations, share dividends and similar transactions) (each of the formulations for such variable price being herein referred to as, the Variable Price), the Company shall provide written notice to the Investor on the date of such agreement and the issuance of such New Convertible Securities or New Options. From and after the date the Company enters into such agreement or issues any such Variable Price Securities, the Investor shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion to substitute the Variable Price for the Conversion Price upon conversion of any Convertible Securities by designating in the Conversion Notice delivered upon any conversion of a Convertible Securities that solely for purposes of such conversion the Investor is relying on the Variable Price rather than the Conversion Price then in effect. The Investor’s election to rely on a Variable Price for a particular conversion of any Convertible Securities shall not obligate the Investor to rely on a Variable Price for any future conversion of the Convertible Securities. |

(l) | In the event that the Company (or any Subsidiary) shall take any action to which the provisions hereof are not strictly applicable, or, if applicable, would not operate to protect the Investor from dilution or if any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this clause 2.7 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of share appreciation rights, phantom share rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company’s board of directors shall in good faith determine and implement an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the Investor, provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this clause 2.7(l) will increase the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this clause 2.7(l), provided further that if the Investor does not accept such adjustments as appropriately protecting its interests hereunder against such dilution, then the Company’s board of directors and the Investor shall agree, in good faith, upon an independent investment bank of nationally recognized standing to make such appropriate adjustments, whose determination shall be final and binding absent manifest error and whose fees and expenses shall be borne by the Company. | ||
(m) | This clause 2.7 will not apply to, and will be interpreted and applied as not affected by issues of securities or other transactions pursuant to the Approved Agreements (including the exercise of the Existing Options). | ||
2.8 | Reserved Shares | ||
(a) | The Company represents and warrants that as at the Execution Date, the Company has the capacity to issue or agree to issue the Reserved Shares without requiring any further approval from its shareholders pursuant to the Listing Rules. | ||
(b) | The Company: | ||
(i) | must not undertake, at any time after the Execution Date, until the Reserved Shares are issued to the Investor, issued to the Investor, any issue of Shares that would result in the Company being unable to issue the Reserved Shares to the Investor without obtaining approval from its shareholders pursuant to the Listing Rules; and | ||
(ii) | shall take all necessary steps to ensure that the Reserved Shares are available to be issued to the Investor pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement without further prior approval of the Company’s shareholders being required under the Listing Rules. | ||
(c) | Each issue of Shares under this Agreement and the issue of the Options (counting one Share for each Option) will be deemed to be an issue of Reserved Shares until the number of Shares issued under this Agreement equals or exceeds the number of Reserved Shares set out in the definition of “Reserved Shares”. | ||
2.9 | Voluntary Adjustment by Company | ||
The Company may at any time during the Term, with the prior written consent of the Investor reduce the then prevailing Conversion Price of each of the Convertible Securities to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the board of directors of the Company. |

3.2 | Purchase of Collateral Shares | ||
(a) | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement: | ||
(i) | the Investor may at any time in its sole discretion; and | ||
(ii) | in any event, not later than 20 Trading Days after expiry of the Term the Investor will, | ||

(i) | the Investor will nominate the corresponding numbers (if any) of Collateral Shares to be capitalised under the Collateral Election (Nominated Amortisation Collateral Shares) and Shares to be issued (New Amortisation Shares) to satisfy the Amortisation Instalment Amount; | |||
(ii) | the number of Collateral Shares held shall be reduced by the Nominated Amortisation Collateral Shares; | |||
(iii) | the Nominated Amortisation Collateral Shares for the avoidance of doubt, shall be deemed to be Amortisation Pre-delivery Shares or Amortisation True- up Shares (as the case may be) and, subject to there being no Equity Condition Failure as at the date of the Amortisation Pre-delivery Date or the Amortisation Date (as applicable), shall constitute a discharge of the security represented by that number of Collateral Shares and in full and final settlement of all Investor’s liabilities in connection with that number of Collateral Shares. |

(g) | Where an Amortisation Election Notice specifies the Amortisation Instalment Amount will be satisfied by way of the issue of Amortisation Shares or a Collateral Election is made and the Company confirmed that there was no such Equity Conditions Failure as at the relevant Amortisation Pre-delivery Date but an Equity Conditions Failure occurs between the relevant Amortisation Pre-delivery Date and the relevant Amortisation Date, the Company shall provide the Investor a subsequent written notice of the Equity Conditions Failure and, unless the Equity Conditions Failure is waived in writing by the Investor (in its sole and absolute discretion), then the Amortisation Election Notice in respect of any Amortisation True-up Shares to be issued for the relevant Amortisation Period shall be null and void and: | |||
(i) | no Amortisation True-up Shares shall be issued in respect of the relevant Amortisation Period; | |||
(ii) | the Amortisation Pre-delivery Shares that have been issued for the relevant Amortisation Period shall be deemed to be Collateral Shares; | |||
(iii) | there shall be no reduction in the Face Value of the Convertible Securities in respect of: | |||
(A) | any Amortisation Pre-delivery Shares issued; or | |||
(B) | Amortisation True-up Shares that would have otherwise been issued, for the relevant Amortisation Period but for this clause 5.2(g); and | |||
(iv) | the Company shall pay 110% of the Amortisation Instalment Amount for the relevant Amortisation Period in full by way of Cash Payment. | |||
(h) | If the Amortisation Election Notice issued by the Company in accordance with clause 5.2(b) specifies that the Amortisation Instalment Amount for the respective Amortisation Period will be repaid by the Company by a Cash Payment, the Company must pay to the Investor the Amortisation Instalment Amount in Immediately Available Funds and without set-off, counter claims, conditions or, unless expressly permitted by this Agreement or required by law, deductions or withholdings, the amount of the Cash Payment on the Amortisation Date. | |||
(i) | If the Company does not issue an Amortisation Election Notice in accordance with 5.2(b), the Company shall be deemed to have elected to pay the Amortisation Instalment Amount for the respective Amortisation Period by way of Amortisation Shares. | |||
(j) | If an Amortisation Election Notice specifies that all or part of the Amortisation Instalment Amount is to be satisfied by the issue of Amortisation Shares and, for any reason, the Company is unable to or is not permitted to issue all or some of such Amortisation Shares, the Amortisation Election Notice will be deemed to be varied to decrease that part of the Amortisation Instalment Amount which is to be satisfied by the issue of the Amortisation Shares to the extent necessary (which for the avoidance of doubt may include a reduction to nil) so that the Company is able to or permitted to issue such Amortisation Shares and the balance of any Amortisation Instalment Amount will be satisfied by way of capitalisation of Collateral Shares unless the Company is unable to issue replacement Collateral Shares under clause 3.1(c) pursuant to a Disclosure Document or a Cleansing Statement, or a Cash Payment, or a combination of both. Where such an adjustment is made the Amortisation Election Notice will be further deemed to be varied to provide for or increase the Cash Payment or Collateral Election (as applicable) by the corresponding amount, such that the overall Amortisation Instalment Amount remains the same. | |||
(k) | The Company will not be entitled to repay the Face Value of any Convertible Security issued other than in accordance with this Agreement. | |||
(l) | The Company will not be entitled to redraw any amounts in respect of the Convertible Securities that are satisfied by Cash Payment or Amortisation Shares pursuant to this clause 5.2 or Conversion Shares otherwise pursuant to this Agreement. |
Convertible Securities Purchase Agreement |

(m) | The total number of Amortisation Shares that the Company shall issue and Electronically Deliver in (or capitalise in respect of) an Amortisation Instalment Payment shall be determined by dividing the Amortisation Instalment Amount by the Amortisation Price, provided that if the resultant number contains a fraction, such number shall be rounded up to the next highest whole number. | ||
(n) | Upon all Amortisation Shares being issued or capitalised in respect of an Amortisation Period pursuant to this clause 5, the Face Value of the Convertible Securities will be deemed repaid to the extent of the Amortisation Instalment Amount on and from the date of issue the resultant Amortisation True-up Shares or, in respect of Nominated Amortisation Collateral Shares pursuant to clause 5.2(e), on the date of the Collateral Capitalisation pursuant to clause 5.2(e). In the event that at the time of the issue or capitalisation of Amortisation Shares, there is more than one Convertible Security on issue with an outstanding Face Value, the Amortisation Instalment Amount shall be applied: | ||
(i) | firstly, to the Convertible Security which was issued first in time; and | ||
(ii) | if there remains any Amortisation Instalment Amount outstanding after 5.2(o)(1) above, secondly to the Convertible Security which was issued second in time. | ||
(o) | Except in circumstances contained in clause 5.2(g), the Company must pay to the investor 103% of an Amortization Instalment Amount if any such amount is repaid as a Cash Payment under any clause of this Agreement. | ||
5.3 | Investor Elections | ||
(a) | At any time before any Amortisation Date, the Investor may by written notice (Deferral Notice) to the Company elect to defer some or all of the Amortisation Instalment Amount for the current Amortisation Period to a subsequent Amortisation Period. | ||
(b) | A Deferral Notice must set out: | ||
(i) | the amount of the Amortisation Instalment Amount to be deferred (Deferred Amount); | ||
(ii) | the Amortisation Period in which the Deferred Amount is to be paid (Deferral Amortisation Period). | ||
(c) | upon the Investor issuing a Deferral Notice: | ||
(i) | the Amortisation Instalment Amount for the then current Amortisation Period shall be deemed to be reduced by the Deferred Amount; and | ||
(ii) | the Amortisation Instalment Amount for the Deferral Amortisation Period shall be deemed to be increased by the Deferred Amount. | ||
(d) | Notwithstanding clause 6.1(a), at any time while any Convertible Security remains on issue with an outstanding Face Value and for the relevant Amortisation Period the Amortisation Election Notice elects or is deemed to elect to pay the Amortisation Instalment Amount by way of the issue of Amortisation Shares, whether in part or in full, the Investor may by written notice to the Company (Acceleration Notice) elect to increase the Amortisation Instalment Amount for the then current Amortisation Period to an amount nominated by the Investor in the Acceleration Notice (Accelerated Amount). | ||
(e) | An Acceleration Notice must specify the Amortisation Period in which the Accelerated Amount will be deducted from the Amortisation Instalment Amount and if an Amortisation Period is not specified the Acceleration Notice shall be deemed to apply to the Amortisation Instalment Amount Amortisation Period ending on the Maturity Date and any balance to the immediately preceding Amortisation Period until the Accelerated Amount has been fully allocated to Amortisation Instalment Amounts. |
Convertible Securities Purchase Agreement |
Page 32 |
(f) | Upon issue of an Acceleration Notice, the Accelerated Amount shall be treated as an Amortisation Instalment Amount and clause 5.2 shall apply to the Accelerated Amount subject to the Amortisation Price applied being either: | ||
(i) | the last calculated Amortisation VWAP immediately prior to the issue of the Acceleration Notice; or | ||
(ii) | the Amortisation Price calculated for the Amortisation Instalment Amount occurring immediately after the issue of the Acceleration Notice, | ||
in each case at the election of the Investor. | |||
(g) | The Company must issue the Amortisation Pre-Delivery Shares pursuant to the Acceleration Notice by no later than the Trading Day after receipt of the Acceleration Notice (unless the Investor elects to capital the Acceleration Shares from the balance of the Collateral Shares). | ||
(h) | The Investor may issue: | ||
(i) | more than one Acceleration Notice during the applicable Amortisation Period; and | ||
(ii) | Acceleration Notices during each Amortisation Period during the Term (for the avoidance of doubt, there shall be no limit on the number of Acceleration Notices the Investor may issue during the Term). | ||
(i) | The Investor acknowledges and agrees that Accelerated Amounts will only be required to be (and shall be permitted to be) satisfied by the issue of Amortisation Shares or a Collateral Election, subject at all times to clause 5.2. | ||
6 | Conversion upon election of Investor | ||
6.1 | Conversion Notice | ||
(a) | The Investor may, at any time after the First Closing, by one or more written notices to the Company (Conversion Notice) elect to convert all or any part of the Face Value of the Convertible Securities (each a Conversion) into Shares (Conversion Shares) on the terms set out in clause 6. | ||
(b) | The Conversion Notice must set out the amount of the Face Value of the Convertible Securities, together with any Default Interest, fees or other amounts payable by the Company to the Investor pursuant to any Transaction Document (Elected Conversion Amount) to be converted into Conversion Shares. | ||
(c) | For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this clause 6 shall limit the Investor’s right to receive and sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of Amortisation Shares. | ||
6.2 | Conversion Price | ||
The price at which the Conversion Shares will be issued will be the Conversion Price. | |||
6.3 | Conversion Shares | ||
(a) | The number of Conversion Shares to be issued by the Company in respect of each Conversion Notice shall be determined by dividing the Elected Conversion Amount by the then prevailing Conversion Price, provided that if the resultant number contains a fraction, such number shall be rounded up to the next highest whole number. | ||
(b) | On the Trading Day immediately after the issue of a Conversion Notice (Conversion Date), the Company must issue the Conversion Shares by issuing and Electronically Delivering Shares (in the number determined pursuant to clause 6.3(a)) to the Investor or its nominee. |
Convertible Securities Purchase Agreement |

(c) | The Conversion Notice shall set out the Conversion Price applicable to the Conversion due to be effected under such Conversion Notice, setting out the manner in which such Conversion Price was calculated by the Investor. | ||

(e) | Where a Collateral Election has been made under clause 6.3(d) above: | ||
(i) | the Investor will nominate the corresponding number of Collateral Shares to be capitalised under the Collateral Election (Nominated Conversion Collateral Shares) and Shares to be issued (New Conversion Shares) to satisfy the Elected Conversion Amount; | ||
(ii) | the number of Collateral Shares held shall be reduced by the Nominated Conversion Collateral Shares; | ||
(iii) | the Nominated Conversion Collateral Shares for the avoidance of doubt, shall be deemed to be Conversion Shares and shall constitute a discharge of the security represented by that number of Collateral Shares and in full and final settlement of all the Company’s and the Investor’s liabilities in connection with that number of Collateral Shares. | ||
(f) | Upon a Conversion occurring pursuant to this clause 6, the Face Value of the Convertible Security will be deemed repaid to the extent of the Elected Conversion Amount on and from the date of issue the resultant Conversion Shares or in respect of Nominated Conversion Collateral Shares, the date of the Collateral Capitalisation. | ||
(g) | If for any reason, the Company is unable to or is not permitted to issue all or some of the Conversion Shares required under a Conversion Notice, the Conversion Notice will be deemed to be varied to provide that the Elected Conversion Amount will be satisfied by way of Conversion Shares to the extent that the Company is able to or permitted to issue Conversion Shares (which for the avoidance of doubt, may include a reduction to nil) and the balance of any Elected Conversion Amount will be satisfied by way of a Collateral Election unless the Company is unable to issue replacement Collateral Shares under clause 3.1(c), or a Cash Payment, or a combination of both. For the purposes of this clause, the amount of the Cash Payment shall be calculated as an amount per Conversion Share that would have otherwise been issued pursuant to the Conversion Notice equal to the highest VWAP on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the Conversion Notice and ending on the Conversion Date and the Company shall pay the Cash Payment on the Business Day immediately following the Conversion Date. | ||
6.4 | Amortisation | ||
For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this clause 6 shall prevent the Investor exercising any rights with regard to conversion of any Convertible Securities pursuant to any other provision in this Agreement, including without limitation clause 5.3. | |||
7 | Redemption | ||
7.1 | Right of Redemption | ||
(a) | Subject to clause 7.4, the Company may redeem all of the Convertible Securities on issue at the time of issue of the notice pursuant to this clause 7.1(a) in whole at any time up to the Maturity Date by written notice given by the Company to the Investor (Redemption Notice). For the avoidance of doubt, the Company is not entitled to redeem only part of the Convertible Securities on issue. | ||
(b) | The rights of the Investor to convert the Convertible Securities pursuant this Agreement shall continue notwithstanding the issue of a Redemption Notice by the Company. |
Convertible Securities Purchase Agreement |
Page 34 |
(c) | The parties agree that in the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of the Convertible Securities under this clause 7, the Investor’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Investor. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this clause 7 is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Investor’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. | ||
7.2 | Redemption Notice | ||
A Redemption Notice must specify: | |||
(a) | that the Amount Outstanding is to be redeemed by the Company; and | ||

(b) | The Company shall only be entitled to redeem the Convertible Securities pursuant to clause 7 if at the Redemption Date, the Conditions (including without limitation the condition in clause 10.2(e)(xv), but excluding the application of paragraph f(ii) of the definition of “Equity Conditions” and of clauses 10.2(e)(iii), (iv), (vi), (viii) and (ix)(C)) continue to be satisfied by the Company. | ||
(c) | If for any reason the Company is not entitled to proceed with a redemption of the Convertible Securities under this clause 7.4, the Convertible Securities shall remain on issue on the terms of this Agreement, notwithstanding the issue of a Redemption Notice. | ||
8 | Change of Control Redemption Right | ||
(a) | No sooner than fifteen (15) days nor later than ten (10) days prior to the consummation of a Change of Control, but not prior to the public announcement of such Change of Control, the Company shall deliver written notice to the Investor of the Change of Control (Change of Control Notice) setting out a description of such transaction in reasonable detail and the anticipated Change of Control Redemption Date if then known. | ||
(b) | At any time during the period (Change of Control Period) beginning on the earlier of the date of: | ||
(i) | the Investor’s receipt of a Change of Control Notice; and | ||
(ii) | an announcement on ASX by the Company of a transaction which may result in a Change of Control, | ||
and ending on the date that is twenty (20) Trading Days after the consummation of such Change of Control, the Investor may require the Company to redeem (Change of Control Redemption) all or any portion of the Convertible Securities then outstanding by delivering written notice to the Company (Change of Control Redemption Notice). |
Convertible Securities Purchase Agreement |
Page 35 |
(c) | A Change of Control Redemption Notice shall set out the amount of the Face Value of the Convertible Securities, together with any Default Interest, fees or other amounts payable by the Company to the Investor pursuant to any Transaction Document the Investor is electing to redeem (Change of Control Amount). | ||
(d) | The Change of Control Amount shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price (Change of Control Redemption Price) equal to 125% of the Change of Control Amount. | ||
(e) | The Company shall make payment of the Change of Control Redemption Price: | ||
(i) | concurrently with the consummation of such Change of Control if such a Change of Control Redemption Notice is received prior to the consummation of such Change of Control; and | ||
(ii) | within five (5) Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of such notice, (the Change of Control Redemption Date). | ||
(f) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause 8, until the Change of Control Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon) is paid in full, the Change of Control Amount may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Investor into Shares, or in the event the Conversion Date is after the consummation of the Change of Control, shares or equity interests of the Successor Entity substantially equivalent to the Shares pursuant to clause 9. | ||
(g) | In the event less than all of the Convertible Securities are redeemed pursuant this clause 8, the Change of Control Amount so redeemed shall be deducted from the Amortisation Instalment Amounts applying such reduction to the Amortisation Dates in reverse order first to the last Amortisation Date on which Amortisation Instalment Amounts are then scheduled to be paid to the Investor, unless the Investor shall otherwise specify in the Change of Control Redemption Notice. | ||
(h) | The parties agree that in the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of the Convertible Securities under this clause 8, the Investor’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Investor. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this clause 8 is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Investor’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. | ||
9 | Fundamental Transaction | ||
(a) | The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this clause 9 and agrees to deliver to the Investor in exchange for the Convertible Securities a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this this Agreement and the Transaction Documents including, without limitation, having a face value equal to the Face Value and having similar conversion rights, dividend rights and ranking to Convertible Securities. | ||
(b) | Upon the occurrence or consummation of any Fundamental Transaction, and it shall be a required condition to the occurrence or consummation of any Fundamental Transaction that, the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, shall agree to, and the Company shall cause any Successor Entity or Successor Entities to jointly and severally agree to, and be added to the term ‘Company’ under this Agreement (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, each and every provision of this Agreement referring to the ‘Company’ shall refer instead to each of the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally), and the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, may exercise every right and power of the Company prior thereto and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company prior thereto under this Agreement with the same effect as if the Company and such Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, had been named as the Company in this Agreement. |

Convertible Securities Purchase Agreement |
Page 66 |
(c) | the Company shall comply with all reasonable requests made by the Investigator of the Company in connection with any investigation by the Investigator, including without limitation: | |||
(i) | the Investigator may, during normal business hours, inspect: | |||
(A) | all contracts, books, records, personnel, offices and other facilities and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries; | |||
(B) | to the extent available to the Company after the Company uses reasonable efforts to obtain them, the records of its legal advisors and accountants (including the accountants’ work papers) and any books of account, records, reports and other papers not contractually required of the Company to be confidential or secret, or subject to privilege; | |||
(ii) | the Investigator may make such copies of inspections of any material as the Investigator may reasonably require; | |||

(d) | The Company shall pay all reasonable costs in connection with any investigation by the Investigator. | |||
(e) | If the Investigator determines that any Event of Default has or is likely to occur (in the Investigator’s reasonable opinion), the Investigator shall notify the Company of its opinion regarding that Event of Default (including its reasons for its opinion). | |||
21.3 | Notifications | |||
(a) | The Company shall notify the Investor immediately upon any Event of Default, or anything that is likely to detrimentally affect the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement, occurring, or becoming, to the Company’s knowledge, likely to occur, and include the specifics of such Event of Default or other event in its notice. | |||
(b) | At the Investor’s request, the Company shall provide the Investor with a certificate signed by two of its directors or its Chief Executive Officer, which shall state whether an Event of Default has occurred and/or is continuing. | |||
22 | Rights of the Investor upon Default | |||

(i) | declare, by notice to the Company, effective immediately, all outstanding obligations by the Company under the Transaction Documents (including without limitation, and subject to clause 22(f)(iii), any amount of the Face Value of the Convertible Securities which has not been satisfied in accordance with clause 5) to be immediately due and payable in immediately available funds without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Company, anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document notwithstanding; or |
Convertible Securities Purchase Agreement |
Page 67 |
(ii) | terminate this Agreement by notice to the Company, effective as of the date set out in the Investor’s notice, in which case any amounts payable under this Agreement to the Investor which are unpaid as at the date of termination (including without limitation any amount of the Face Value of the Convertible Securities which has not been satisfied in accordance with clause 5), become immediately payable; or | |||
(iii) | immediately convert the Convertible Securities in whole or in part at the Conversion Price pursuant to clause 6. | |||
(b) | The Investor shall have no obligation to consummate a Closing, accept an Amortisation Shares issuance or a Conversion Share issuance under this Agreement at any time after an Event of Default has occurred where: | |||
(i) | the Event of Default is capable of remedy and has not been remedied to the satisfaction of the Investor; or | |||
(ii) | the Investor reasonably determines and notifies the Company within 10 Business Days of becoming aware of the Event of Default that the Event of Default is not capable of being remedied; or | |||
(iii) | notwithstanding that the Event of Default may have been remedied, | |||
and the Closing Date shall be deemed to be postponed accordingly and all future Closings will be held in abeyance, unless the Investor notifies the Company otherwise in writing. | ||||
(c) | Where an Event of Default has occurred, and for as long as such Event of Default continues, if an Amortisation Election Notice is issued which specifies that all or part of the Amortisation Instalment Amount is to be satisfied by the issue of Amortisation Shares, at the election of the Investor, the Amortisation Election Notice will be deemed to be varied to decrease that part of the Amortisation Instalment Amount which is to be satisfied by the issue or capitalisation of the Amortisation Shares (as determined by the Investor and may include a reduction to nil). Where such an adjustment is made the relevant Amortisation Election Notice will be further deemed to be varied to increase the Cash Payment by the corresponding amount, such that the overall Amortisation Instalment Amount remains the same. | |||
(d) | In addition to the remedies set out in subclauses (a), (b) and (c), upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default, the Investor may exercise any other right, power or remedy granted to it by the Transaction Documents or otherwise permitted to it by Law, including by suit in equity and/or by action at Law. | |||
(e) | Without limiting any of the Investor’s rights under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and in addition to the Investor’s rights set out in subclauses (a), (b), (c) and (d), upon an Event of Default occurring, the Company must pay interest at a rate of 18% per annum on the amount of the Face Value of all Convertible Securities issued which has not been satisfied pursuant to clause 5, which interest is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Investor’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty and shall: | |||
(i) | be calculated daily and shall compound monthly; | |||
(ii) | accrue from the date of the Event of Default, for so long as: | |||
(A) | if a notice has not been issued by the Investor pursuant to clauses 22(a)(i) or (a)(ii), the Event of Default has not been remedied; | |||
(B) | if a notice has been issued by the Investor pursuant to clauses 22(a)(i) or (a)(ii), any part of the Face Value of any Convertible Security issued remains outstanding; and | |||
(iii) | be payable on demand by the Investor. |
Convertible Securities Purchase Agreement |
Page 68 |
(f) | Without limiting any of the Investor’s rights under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and in addition to the Investor’s rights set out in subclauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e), upon an Event of Default occurring: | ||
(i) | the Company must issue a written notice to the Investor setting out details of the Event of Default (Default Notice); | ||
(ii) | within 22 Trading Days of receipt of the Default Notice or the Investor otherwise becoming aware of an Event of Default, the Investor may issue a written notice to the Company (Default Redemption Notice) requiring the Company to redeem the Convertible Securities which remain outstanding (Remaining Convertible Securities); | ||
(iii) | within 3 Trading Days of the date of the Default Redemption Notice, the Company must pay to the Investor an amount equal to 125% of the Face Value of the Remaining Convertible Securities, plus any other amount payable to the Investor by the Company pursuant to any Transaction Document (Default Redemption Amount); | ||
(iv) | if the Company does not comply with clause 22(f)(iii), the Investor shall have the right (but not the obligation) to issue a written notice to the Company (Default Conversion Notice) electing to convert the Default Redemption Amount into Shares (Default Shares) on the terms set out in this clause 22(f); | ||
(v) | the Default Conversion Notice must set out the amount of the Default Redemption Amount to be converted into Default Shares; | ||
(vi) | the price at which the Default Shares will be issued will be pursuant to Clause (b) of the definition of Conversion Price (Default Price); | ||
(vii) | the number of Default Shares to be issued by the Company in respect of a Default Conversion Notice shall be determined by dividing the Default Redemption Amount by the Default Price, provided that if the resultant number contains a fraction, such number shall be rounded up to the next highest whole number; and | ||
(viii) | on the Business Day immediately after the issue of a Default Conversion Notice (Conversion Date), the Company must issue the Default Shares by issuing and Electronically Delivering Shares (in the number determined pursuant to clause 22(f)(vii)) to the Investor or its nominee. | ||
(g) | The parties agree that in the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of the Convertible Securities under this clause 22, the Investor’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Investor. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this clause 22 is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Investor’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. | ||

(b) | will automatically terminate when, after the Closing Date in respect of the Convertible Security, the Investor or its nominees receives Amortisation Shares or Conversion Shares and Cash Payments equal to the Face Value of all Convertible Securities issued pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with clause 5.2(c), 5.2(d),5.2(g), 5.3 or clause 6 (as the case may be) and all other money due and payable or which may become due for payment to the Investor at any specified time pursuant to the Transaction Documents are paid to the Investor or its nominee. | |||
23.3 | Effect of Termination | |||
(a) | Each Party’s right of termination under clause 23.2 is in addition to any other rights it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, and the exercise of a right of termination will not be an election of remedies. | |||
(b) | Upon the earlier of termination of this Agreement or the end of the Term occurring: | |||
(i) | the Investor shall not be required to fund any further amount nor effect any Closing, provided that termination or the end of the Term shall not affect any undischarged obligation of the Company under this Agreement; and | |||

With regard to all dates and time periods set out in the Agreement or referred to in any Transaction Document, including as amended, time is of the essence. | ||||
25.2 | No partnership or advisory or fiduciary relationship | |||
Nothing in this Agreement should be construed to create a partnership between the Parties, or a fiduciary or an advisory relationship between the Investor or any of its Affiliates and the Company. | ||||
25.3 | Certificates | |||
Each certificate or notice given by the Investor to the Company shall be sufficient evidence of an amount or matter in connection with any Transaction Document or Contemplated Transaction, unless the content of such certificate or notice is proven to be incorrect. | ||||

Convertible Securities Purchase Agreement |
Page 72 |
(d) | If there is a bonus issue to the holders of shares in the Company, the number of shares issued as part of an Amortisation Instalment Payment or a Conversion may be increased by the number of shares which the Investor would have received if the Convertible Security has been converted in full before the record date for the bonus issue. | ||
(e) | The intent of this clause 25.5 is to maintain the relative benefit and burden to the Investor and the Company of their respective economic bargains and so that the entitlement of the Shares ultimately issued in respect of any conversion or exercise of Securities to participate in profits and assets of the Company will be the same as the entitlement of the Shares into which the Securities would have been converted or exercised had there been no Security Structure Event. | ||
(f) | When the Company becomes aware of a fact that may give rise to an adjustment of the Conversion Price, Option Exercise Price, the number of Conversion Shares or the number of Options, the Company must promptly notify the Investor of the specifics of the fact that may give rise to such adjustment. | ||

Share Option Deed |
Schedule 8 – Form of Share Option Deed | Page 8 |
Schedule 1
Terms and Conditions of Options
1 | The Options shall be issued for no cash consideration. | |||
2 | The exercise price of each Option is equal to 110% of the Market Price (as defined in this Share Option Deed), rounded down to three decimal places, as adjusted in accordance with these terms from time to time (Exercise Price). | |||
3 | The Options will expire on the last day of the calendar month which is three years after the Issue Date (Expiry Date) unless earlier exercised. | |||
4 | The Options are non-redeemable and transferable, subject to any securities Laws. | |||
5 | The Options may be exercised at any time wholly or in part (and if less than the balance of the Options then outstanding are being exercised, in multiples with an aggregate exercise price of at least A$20,000) by delivering a duly completed form of notice of exercise together with payment for the Exercise Price per Option to the Company at any time on or after the date of issue of the Options and on or before the Expiry Date. Payment may be made as directed by the Company from time to time, which may include by cheque, electronic funds transfer or other methods. | |||
6 | Upon the valid exercise of the Options and payment of the Exercise Price (subject to item 17 below), the Company will within two Trading Days issue fully paid ordinary shares ranking pari passu with the then issued ordinary shares. | |||
7 | Option holders do not have any right to participate in new issues of securities in the Company made to shareholders generally. The Company will, where required pursuant to the ASX Listing Rules, provide Option holders with notice prior to the books record date (to determine entitlements to any new issue of securities made to shareholders generally) to exercise the Options, in accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules. | |||
8 | Option holders do not participate in any dividends unless the Options are exercised and the resultant shares of the Company are issued prior to the record date to determine entitlements to the dividend. | |||
9 | In the event of any reorganisation (including consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return) of the issued capital of the Company: | |||
(a) | the number of Options, the Exercise Price of the Options, or both will be reorganised (as appropriate) in a manner consistent with the ASX Listing Rules as applicable at the time of reorganisation, but with the intention that such reorganisation will not result in any benefits being conferred on the holders of the Options which are not conferred on shareholders; and | |||
(b) | subject to the provisions with respect to rounding of entitlements as sanctioned by a meeting of shareholders approving a reorganisation of capital, in all other respects the terms for the exercise of the Options will remain unchanged. | |||
10 | If there is a pro rata issue (except a bonus issue), the Exercise Price of an Option will be reduced according to the following formula: | |||
On = O - E [P - (S + D)] | ||||
N + 1 | ||||
Where: | ||||
On | = | the new exercise price of the Option; | ||
O | = | the old exercise price of the Option; | ||
E | = | the number of underlying securities into which one Option is exercisable; |
Share Option Deed |
Schedule 8 – Form of Share Option Deed | Page 9 |
P | = | the volume weighted average market price per security of the underlying securities during the five trading days ending on the day before the ex right date or the ex entitlements date; | ||
S | = | the subscription price for a security under the pro rata issue; | ||
D | = | dividend due but not yet paid on the existing underlying securities (except those to be issued under the pro rata issue); and | ||
N | = | the number of securities with rights or entitlements that must be held to receive a right to one new security. |
11 | If there is a bonus issue to the holders of shares in the Company, the number of shares over which the Option is exercisable may be increased by the number of shares which the Option holder would have received if the Option had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue. | ||
12 | Subject to items 9, 10 and 11, the terms of the Options shall only be changed if holders (whose votes are not to be disregarded) of ordinary shares in the Company approve of such a change. However, unless all necessary waivers of the ASX Listing Rules are obtained, the terms of the Options shall not be changed to reduce the Exercise Price, increase the number of Options or change any period for exercise of the Options. | ||
13 | The Company does not intend to apply for listing of the Options on the ASX. | ||
14 | The Company shall immediately apply for listing of the resultant shares of the Company issued upon exercise of any Option. | ||
15 | Subject to item 16 below, unless the Options were issued pursuant to a Disclosure Document, on the date of issue of Shares upon exercise of any Option, the Company must lodge with ASX a written notice pursuant to Section 708A(5) of the Corporations Act meeting the requirements of Section 708A(6) of the Corporations Act, and containing the information that is sufficient to permit secondary trading of the shares issued upon exercise of any option to which it relates, or a Disclosure Document which applies to the Shares issued on exercise of the Option as “relevant securities” within the meaning of section 708A(11) to permit secondary trading of those shares. | ||
16 | If for any reason the Company reasonably believes it will be unable to comply with item 15 above and the Company has not issued the Options pursuant to a Disclosure Document: | ||
(a) | (unless the Grantee otherwise consents in writing, which consent may be withheld by the Grantee or given on such conditions as the Grantee determines, in the Grantee’s sole discretion), the Company must at all times, whilst any Option remains on issue, have a current disclosure document issued which complies with the requirements of Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act pursuant to which the resultant shares upon any exercise of any option will be issued and the Company must take all necessary steps to ensure that Section 707 of the Corporations Act (other than Section 707(3)(b)(ii)) does not apply to restrict the secondary trading of the shares issued upon exercise of any Option; or | ||
(b) | the notice exercising any Option (Option Exercise Notice) will be deemed to be varied to provide that the exercise of Options under that Option Exercise Notice will be satisfied by way of Shares to the extent that the Company is able to or permitted to issue Shares (which for the avoidance of doubt, may include a reduction to nil) and the balance of that Option Exercise Notice will be satisfied by way of a Cash Payment, the amount of which shall be calculated as an amount per Share that would have otherwise been issued pursuant to the Option Exercise Notice equal to the highest VWAP on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the Option Exercise Notice and ending on the day the Company would have otherwise issued Shares pursuant to paragraph 6 of these terms and conditions and the Company shall pay the Cash Payment on the Business Day immediately following the date calculated pursuant to paragraph 7 of these terms and conditions. |
