(xii)	do not make any material change to the terms of employment of any director, executive or senior manager (except as required by law, publicly disclosed prior to the date of this deed or as provided in an existing contract in place as at the date of this deed).

5.4. Appointment and resignation of directors

On the Implementation Date, but subject to the Bidder having paid the Scheme Consideration in accordance with clause 4.3(b) and receipt by Sirtex of signed consents to act, Sirtex must use its reasonable endeavours to:

(a) cause the appointment of each Incoming Director to the Board; and

(b) procure that each of the Outgoing Directors retires from the Board and provides written notice to the effect that they have no claim outstanding for loss of office, remuneration or otherwise against Sirtex (provided that nothing in this clause 5.4 requires any Outgoing Director to forego any rights they may have under any deed of access and indemnity or policy of insurance),

in each case, in accordance with Sirtex’s constitution, the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules.

5.5. Board recommendation

(a) Subject to clause 5.5(b), Sirtex must use its reasonable endeavours to procure that:

(b) Sirtex must use its reasonable endeavours to procure that no director of Sirtex changes, withdraws or modifies their recommendation that Sirtex Shareholders vote in favour of the Scheme at the Scheme Meeting or their statement that they will vote (or procure the voting) of all Sirtex Shares

held or controlled by them in favour of the Scheme at the Scheme Meeting or make a recommendation or statement that is inconsistent with such recommendation or statement, unless:


(i)	the Independent Expert concludes in the Independent Expert’s Report (or any update or variation to that report) that the Scheme is not in the best interests of Sirtex Shareholders, or adversely changes its previously given opinion in the Independent Expert’s Report (or any update or variation to that report) that the Scheme is in the best interests of Sirtex Shareholders;


(ii)	Sirtex receives a Competing Proposal and the Board, acting in good faith, determines (after consultation with its financial advisers) that the Competing Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal; or


(iii)	that director, acting in good faith, determines (after taking written advice from Sirtex’s or their own external financial and legal advisers) that a failure by them or the Board to change, withdraw or modify such recommendation or make a recommendation or statement that is inconsistent with it would be reasonably likely to constitute a breach of their fiduciary or statutory obligations.

5.6. Promotion of Scheme

9.5. Exceptions

Clause 9.3 and 9.4 do not apply to the extent that they restrict Sirtex or the Board from taking or refusing to take any action with respect to a genuine Competing Proposal (which was not solicited, invited, encouraged or initiated by Sirtex or its Representatives in contravention of clause 9.2) if the Board, acting in good faith, determines:

(a) after consultation with its financial advisers, that the Competing Proposal is or may reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal having regard to the steps which the Board proposes to take; and

(b) after receiving written advice from its legal advisers, that failing to respond to that Competing Proposal would be reasonably likely to constitute a breach of the Board's fiduciary or statutory obligations.

9.6. Normal provision of information

Nothing in this deed prevents Sirtex from:

(a) providing information to its Representatives;

(b) providing information to any Government Agency;

(c) providing information to its auditors, customers, financiers, joint venturers and suppliers acting in that capacity in the ordinary course of business;

9.8. Matching right

Without limiting clauses 9.2 and 9.3, during the Exclusivity Period, Sirtex:

(e) Sirtex has given the Bidder at least 5 Business Days after the date of the provision of the information referred to in clause 9.8(d) to provide a matching or superior proposal to the terms of the Competing Proposal; and

(f) the Bidder has not provided a matching or superior proposal to the terms of the Competing Proposal to the Board by the expiry of the 5 Business Day period referred to in clause 9.8(e).

Sirtex acknowledges and agrees that each successive modification of any Competing Proposal will constitute a new Competing Proposal for the purposes of the requirements under clause 9.8 and accordingly Sirtex must comply with clauses 9.8(a) and 9.8(b) in respect of any new Competing Proposal unless clauses 9.8(c) to 9.8(f) (inclusive) apply.

9.9. Bidder counterproposal

If the Bidder proposes to Sirtex, or announces amendments to the Scheme or a new proposal that constitute a matching or superior proposal to the terms of the Competing Proposal (Bidder Counterproposal) by the expiry of the 5 Business Day period referred to in clause 9.8(e), Sirtex must procure that the Board considers the Bidder Counterproposal and if the Board, acting in good faith, determines that the Bidder Counterproposal would provide an equivalent or superior outcome for Sirtex Shareholders as a whole compared with the Competing Proposal, taking into account the material terms and conditions of the Bidder Counterproposal, then:

(a) Sirtex and the Bidder must use their reasonable endeavours to agree the amendments to this deed and, if applicable, the Scheme and Deed Poll that are reasonably necessary to reflect the Bidder Counterproposal and to implement the Bidder Counterproposal, in each case as soon as reasonably practicable; and

(b) Sirtex must use its reasonable endeavours to procure that each of the directors of Sirtex recommends the Scheme (as modified by the Bidder Counterproposal) to Sirtex Shareholders in the absence of a superior proposal.

This clause has been agreed in circumstances where:

(a) the Bidder and Sirtex believe that the Scheme will provide significant benefits to the Bidder, Sirtex and their respective shareholders, and the Bidder and Sirtex acknowledge that, if they enter into this deed and the Scheme is subsequently not implemented, the Bidder will incur significant costs, including those set out in clause 10.6;

(b) the Bidder and Sirtex have each requested that provision be made for the Reimbursement Fee to be payable to it, without which neither the Bidder nor Sirtex would not have entered into this deed;

(c) Independent Expert: Sirtex validly terminates this deed in accordance with clause 11.1(f) due to the Independent Expert concluding in the Independent Expert’s Report (or any update or variation to that report) that the Scheme is not in the best interests of Sirtex Shareholders, or adversely changing its previously given opinion in the Independent Expert’s Report (or any update or variation to that report) that the Scheme is in the best interests of Sirtex Shareholders, where the reason for that conclusion or change is a Competing Proposal; or

10.3. Payment by the Bidder to Sirtex

Subject to clauses 10.4, 10.5, 10.7 and 10.8, the Bidder agrees to pay the Reimbursement Fee to Sirtex without withholding or set off if the Scheme does not proceed because:

(a) failure to achieve Regulatory Approvals or restraint applying: this deed is terminated in accordance with clause 3.7(a) as a result of any of the Conditions Precedent in clause 3.1(b) or 3.1(c) not being satisfied or waived in accordance with clause 3.5 (or as a result of the Condition Precedent in clause 3.1(f) not being satisfied as a result of the failure to satisfy or waive any of the Conditions Precedent in clause 3.1(b) or 3.1(c)); or

(b) termination by Sirtex: Sirtex validly terminates this deed in accordance with clause 11.1(a) or clause 11.1(b).

10.4. No amount payable if Scheme becomes Effective

(a) Notwithstanding the occurrence of any event in clause 10.2 or clause 10.3, if the Scheme becomes Effective:


(i)	no amount is payable by any party under those clause; and

(b) A party can only ever be liable to pay the Reimbursement Fee once.

10.5. Timing of payment

If the Reimbursement Fee is payable under clause 10.2 or clause 10.3, Sirtex or the Bidder (as applicable) must pay the Reimbursement Fee without withholding or set off within 20 Business Days of receipt of a demand for payment from the other party.

10.6. Nature of payment

The amount payable by a party to the other party under clauses 10.2 and 10.3 is an amount to compensate the other party for:

(a) advisory costs;

(b) costs of management and directors’ time;

(d) the distraction of the Bidder’s management from conducting the Bidder’s business as usual caused by pursuing the Scheme;

(e) reasonable opportunity costs incurred in pursuing the Transaction or in not pursuing alternative acquisitions or strategic initiatives which could have developed to further the other party’s business and objectives; and

(f) damage to the other party’s reputation associated with a failed transaction and the implications of that damage to the other party’s business.

The parties agree that the costs incurred are of a nature that they cannot be accurately quantified and that a genuine pre-estimate of the costs would equal or exceed the amount payable under clause 10.2 or clause 10.3 (as applicable).

10.7. Limitation of liability

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this deed but subject to clauses 10.7(b) and 10.8:


(i)	the maximum liability of a party to the other party under or in connection with this deed including in respect of any breach of this deed will be the Reimbursement Fee and in no event will the aggregate liability of a party under or in connection with a breach of this deed exceed an amount equal to the Reimbursement Fee; and


(ii)	the payment by a party to the other party of the Reimbursement Fee represents the sole and absolute amount of liability of that party to the other party under or in connection with this deed and no further damages, fees, expenses or reimbursements of any kind will be payable by that party to the other party in connection with this deed.

(b) Nothing in clause 10.7(a) in any way:


(i)	prevents a party (in its own right or as agent or trustee on behalf of any person contemplated by this deed) from seeking orders from a court of competent jurisdiction for the specific performance by the other party of any obligations under this deed; or


(ii)	extinguishes or limits the liability of a party for any breach of this deed arising from criminal acts or fraud by the other party or a Representative of the other party.

10.8. Compliance with law

(a) If it is finally determined following the exhaustion of all reasonable avenues of appeal to the Takeovers Panel or a court that all or any part of the amount payable under clause 10.2:


(i)	is unlawful or would if performed be, unlawful;


(ii)	involves a breach of the duties of the Board; or


(iii)	constitutes unacceptable circumstances within the meaning of the Corporations Act,

then Sirtex’s obligation to pay the applicable amount or part of the amount payable under clause 10.2 does not apply and if the Bidder has received any such part of the payment due under clause 10.2 it must refund it within 20 Business Days of such final determination.

(b) The parties must not make or cause or permit to be made any application to a court, arbitral tribunal or the Takeovers Panel for or in relation to a determination referred to in this clause 10.8.

(a)	If this Scheme becomes Effective, a holder of Scheme Shares (and any person claiming through that holder) must not dispose of or purport or agree to dispose of any Scheme Shares or any interest in them after the Effective Date in any way except as set out in this Scheme and any such disposal will be void and of no legal effect whatsoever.

7.4 Maintenance of Share Register

For the purpose of determining entitlements to the Scheme Consideration, Sirtex will maintain the Share Register in accordance with the provisions of this clause 7 until the Scheme Consideration has been paid to the Scheme Shareholders and the Bidder (or if applicable, the Bidder Nominee) has been entered in the Share Register as the holder of all the Scheme Shares.

7.5 Effect of certificates and holding statements

Subject to provision of the Scheme Consideration and registration of the transfer to the Bidder (or if applicable, the Bidder Nominee) contemplated in clauses 5.2 and 6.1 of this Scheme, any statements of holding in respect of Scheme Shares will cease to have effect after the Record Date as documents of title in respect of those Scheme Shares (other than statements of holding in favour of the Bidder (or if applicable, the Bidder Nominee) and its successors in title). After the Record Date, each entry current on the Share Register as at the Record Date (other than entries in respect of the Bidder (or if applicable, the Bidder Nominee) or its successors in title) will cease to have effect except as evidence of entitlement to the Scheme Consideration.

7.6 Details of Scheme Shareholders
