5

13 | Policies and Procedures

13.1 | The Employer may issue policies from time to time. These policies do not form part of the Executive’s employment contract with the Employer or give rise to any contractual rights. However, to the extent that these policies require the Executive to do any act or thing, or to refrain from doing any act or thing, these policies constitute directions from the Employer to the Executive with which the Executive must comply.

13.2 | The Employer has the right to vary or not apply these policies at its discretion.

14 | Anti-discrimination and Harassment

14.1 | The Executive must at all times comply with and ensure that the employees of the Employer comply with the anti-discrimination and harassment policies of the Employer.

15 | Termination

Termination with prior notice

15.1 | Either party may terminate the Employment by giving the other three months’ notice of termination.

15.2 | The Employer may instead terminate the Employment by either:

| (a) | making a payment in lieu of the entire notice period; or

| (b) | requiring the Executive to work part of the notice period and making a payment in lieu of the balance of the notice period.

In either case the Employment will be terminated upon the making of the payment in lieu of notice.

15.3 | Nothing in any policy, statement, or representation issued or made by the Employer will affect its ability to terminate the Employment by giving prior notice (or making a payment in lieu) or impose any requirement upon the Employer to follow any procedure before terminating the Employment other than the giving of prior notice (or making a payment in lieu).

15.4 | Where the Executive is required to work out a period of notice, the Employer may direct the Executive during some or all of the notice period:

| (e) | to assist the Employer to arrange a proper handover of her duties and work (including a handover of clients, business contacts and business); or

| (f) | any combination of the above.

15.5 | If the Executive gives the Employer notice of termination for the purpose of commencing work with a competitor of the Employer, or otherwise competing with the Employer, the Executive must:

6

| (a) | immediately upon giving notice disclose full details of this purpose so as to enable the Employer to take steps to protect its business, and arrange the hand-over of duties (including clients, suppliers and business) to another employee; and

| (b) | comply with any directions given by the Employer for the purpose of giving effect to paragraph (a) above.

The obligation set out in this sub-clause above is not intended to detract from the Executive’s general obligation to immediately disclose any conflict of interest to the Employer.

15.6 | The Executive will not be entitled to any benefits (including without limitation an increase in benefits) under this contract or otherwise in connection with the termination of the Employment if the giving of such benefit will give rise to a breach of Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act 2001 or any other provision of this Act, Chapter 10 of the ASX Listing Rules or any other ASX Listing Rules, or any other applicable statute, rule or regulation which limits or restricts the giving of such benefits. Further, the Employer is under no obligation to seek or obtain the approval of its shareholders in general meeting for the purpose of overcoming any such limitation or restriction.

Summary termination

| (c) | commits a serious or persistent breach of the terms of this contract;

| (d) | refuses to carry out a lawful and reasonable instruction that is consistent with this contract;

15. | 9 If the Executive is prevented by illness or injury from performing her duties for equal to or more than three consecutive months, or for equal to or more than four months in aggregate in any one period of 52 consecutive weeks, the Company may (but is not obliged to) terminate the Executive’s employment (and this agreement) by giving notice in writing to the Executive under clause 15.1. For the avoidance of doubt, clause 15.9 shall not operate to restrict any statutory entitlements to make a claim under the Accident Compensation Act 1985 (Vic), including in the case where the illness or injury was sustained in the course of Executive’s employment.

16 | Appointment to and Resignation from Offices

16.1 | The Employer may during the Employment, request that the Executive hold offices with the Employer and/or any Group Member provided that is unlikely to affect the Executive’s performance obligations to the Employer. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, these offices will be held without any further remuneration to the Executive.

16.2 | On termination of the Employment for any reason, the Executive must, at the request of the Employer, resign without any claim for compensation from any office (including the office of director) held by the Executive in the Employer or any Group Member and do any thing required to give effect to this resignation, and if the Executive does not formally so resign then the Executive shall be deemed to have so resigned.
