11 Tax indemnity

11.1 Subject to clause 11.3, if a company in the Group is required to pay an amount or account to an authority for tax in relation to Deferred Share Rights or Shares allocated on exercise of Deferred Share Rights (“DSR Shares”) in respect of a Participant, then:

(a) the company may recover an amount in regard to the tax from the Participant in such manner as the Board thinks fit;

(i) indemnify the company in respect of the tax;

(ii) make a payment to the company of an amount in respect of the tax;

(iii) enter into an arrangement with the company to secure a payment to the company, including by providing authority that a person may procure the sale on behalf of the Participant of some or all of the DSR Shares acquired or held for the Participant and authorising the payment of the relevant amount to the company.

11.2 If a Participant fails to comply with clause 11 in relation to a Deferred Share Right or a DSR Share, then the Participant’s Deferred Share Rights and any interest in or entitlement to DSR Shares will be forfeited to the extent of the relevant amount which the company in the Group is required to pay or account to the authority for tax.

11.3 Notwithstanding anything else in this clause 11:

(a) a company in the Group will not be able to recover from a Participant under clause 11.1 any amount that exceeds the amount which the Board determines as being the after tax value of their Deferred Share Rights or interest in or entitlement to DSR Shares as at the date the relevant company in the Group seeks to exercise its rights under clause 11.1; and

1.2 A Deferred Share Right Holder need not pay an exercise price on exercise of a Deferred Share Right.

1.3 Subject to the Listing Rules, Iress must allot or procure the transfer of a Share on exercise of a Deferred Share Right in accordance with the Plan.

1.4 Shares issued on the exercise of Deferred Share Rights will rank pari passu with all existing Shares from the date of issue and will be entitled in full to those dividends which have a record date for determining entitlements after the date of issue.

2. Exercise of Deferred Share Rights

2.1 A Deferred Share Right may be exercised:

(a) subject to the satisfaction of any conditions imposed by the Board under clause 4.2 of the Plan, at any time after the expiration of the Measurement Period determined by the Board at the time of offer and on or before the Expiry Date of the Deferred Share Right, unless the Deferred Share Right lapses under term 2.2;

(b) if the Board gives notice to a Deferred Share Right Holder under term 3;

(d) if the Board so determines in exceptional circumstances.

2.2 A Deferred Share Right that is not exercised will lapse on the first to occur of:

(a) the Expiry Date of the Deferred Share Right;

(b) if, following the end of the Measurement Period, the Board provides the Deferred Share Right Holder with a notice that any condition imposed by the Board under clause 4.2 of the 13

Plan was not satisfied over the Measurement Period;

(c) the receipt by Iress of a notice from the Deferred Share Right Holder that the Deferred Share Right Holder wishes the Deferred Share Right to lapse;

(d) the cessation of the Deferred Share Right Holder’s employment if that cessation leads to lapse in accordance with term;

(e) a determination of the Board that the applicable Employee has acted fraudulently, dishonestly or in breach of the Employee’s obligations to Iress or any company in the Group and the Deferred Share Right is to be forfeited; and

(f) a determination of the Board that, in the case of a Deferred Share Right Holder which is an Associate of an Employee, that the applicable Employee has ceased to control the Associate.

2.3 In relation to term 2.2 the applicable Employee is:

(a) if the Deferred Share Right Holder is an Employee, that Employee; and

(b) if the Deferred Share Right Holder is an Associate of an Employee, that Employee.

3. Notice to Participant

3.1 The Board may in its absolute discretion give a notice to a Deferred Share Right Holder for the purposes of term 2.1(b) if:

(a) a takeover bid is made to the holders of Shares;

(b) a statement is lodged with the ASX to the effect that a person has become entitled to not less than 50% of the Shares;

(d) Iress passes a resolution for voluntary winding up; or

(e) an order is made for the compulsory winding up of Iress.

4. Method of exercise of Deferred Share Rights

4.1 A Deferred Share Right is exercised by the Deferred Share Right Holder lodging the notice of exercise of Deferred Share Right and application for Shares, together with the relevant Certificate, with the Secretary of Iress or such other person as the Board designates.

4.2 Deferred Share Rights must be exercised in multiples of 500, unless the Deferred Share Right Holder exercises all Deferred Share Rights able to be exercised at that time. The exercise of some Deferred Share Rights only does not affect the Deferred Share Right Holder’s right to exercise other Deferred Share Rights at a later time. If the Deferred Share Right Holder exercises less than all Deferred Share Rights represented by a Certificate, then Iress will cancel the

Certificate and issue a new Certificate for the balance.

5. Cessation of Employment

5.1 Unless the Board determines otherwise in its absolute discretion (subject to any applicable law), where an Employee ceases to be employed by an entity within the Group (and is not immediately employed by another company within the Group), subject to terms 5.3 and 5.4, any rights of the Employee relating to Deferred Share Rights which have not already become exercisable will lapse.

5.2 Subject to terms 5.3 and 5.4, where an Employee ceases to be employed by a company within the Group (and is not immediately employed by another entity within the Group) and the Board determines that any rights of that Employee relating to Deferred Share Rights which have not already become exercisable do not lapse in accordance with term 5.1, the number of Deferred Share Rights that the relevant Employee is entitled to (other than Deferred Share Rights which have already become exercisable) will be calculated and allocated to that Employee on the following basis:

(a) if less than six months of the Measurement Period relating to those Deferred Share Rights has elapsed at the date of cessation of employment, all of the Deferred Share Rights will lapse; and

(b) if six months or more of the Measurement Period relating to those Deferred Share Rights has elapsed at the date of cessation of employment, the number of Deferred Share Rights that lapse will be calculated on the following basis:

Step l. Calculate the number of days from the beginning of the Measurement Period up to and including the date of cessation of employment;

Step 2. Divide the result from Step 1 by the number of days in the Measurement Period;

Step 3. Multiply the maximum number of Deferred Share Rights for that Employee which could have been exercised at the end of the Measurement Period by the result from Step 2;

Step 4. Subtract the result from Step 3 from the maximum number of Deferred Share Rights for that Employee that could have been exercised at the end of the Measurement Period,
and such number of Deferred Share Rights will lapse immediately on cessation of employment. The remaining Deferred Share Rights will become available for exercise subject to the satisfaction of any conditions imposed by the Board under clause 4.2 of the Plan (other than any condition relating to the continued employment of the Employee within the Group) and will be exercisable in accordance with term 4.

5.3 Where an Employee ceases to be employed by a company within the Group (and is not immediately employed by another company within the Group) for any reason after the end of a Measurement Period but before Shares have been allocated, Iress must allocate the number of Shares to which the Employee is entitled based on the satisfaction of any conditions imposed by the Board under clause 4.2 of the Plan (other than any condition relating to the continued employment of the Employee within the Group).

5.4 In all cases, the treatment of a Deferred Share Right on cessation of employment is subject to applicable law, including in relation to the provision of termination benefits under Part 2D.2 Division 2 of the Corporations Act. Iress is not bound to exercise any discretion in connection with a Deferred Share Right or provide any associated benefit in connection with an Employee’s termination of employment to the extent that the amount of the benefit (together with all other relevant termination benefits) exceeds the amount that is permitted to be paid or given under the Corporations Act without member approval, if such relevant approval has not been obtained. Nothing in these terms requires or will be deemed to require Iress or a company in the Group to seek the approval of their respective members to enable them to perform an action in connection with the Deferred Share Rights.

6. No Transfers

A Deferred Share Right may not be transferred, except:

(a) at any time, with the consent of the Board, to an Associate of the Employee holding the Deferred Share Right or from the Associate to the Employee; or

(b) after the Deferred Share Right is exercisable, in accordance with the terms of issue of the Deferred Share Right, to any person; or

(c) after the Board has stipulated that some or all Deferred Share Rights are transferable to the offeror under a takeover bid, if takeover offers are made for Shares under a takeover bid in accordance with the Corporations Act and both the offeror becomes entitled to more than 50% of the shares the subject of the offers and the offers are made or declared unconditional (other than for prescribed occurrences),
but only to a transferee who agrees with Iress to be bound by the terms of the Deferred Share Right.

7. Shares provided on exercise

A Participant cannot assign, transfer, sell, encumber create a Security Interest over or otherwise deal with a Share acquired on the exercise of a Deferred Share Right as set out in the Plan.

8. Deferred Share Right Holder bound by constitution

A Deferred Share Right Holder agrees to be a shareholder of Iress and to be bound by Iress’s constitution as in force from time to time.

9. Quotation of Deferred Share Right and Shares

Deferred Share Rights will not be quoted on the ASX. Iress will make application to the ASX for official quotation of Shares issued on the exercise of Deferred Share Rights, if other Shares are listed at that time, as soon as practicable after the Shares are issued.

10. Participation in future issues

10.1 Participation generally

A Participant may only participate in new issues of securities to holders of Shares if the Deferred Share Right has been exercised, if that is permitted by its terms, and the Shares in respect of the Deferred Share Right have been allotted or transferred before the record date for determining entitlements to the issue.

10.2 Bonus issues

If Iress makes a bonus issue of Shares or other securities pro rata to holders of Shares (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment) and no Shares have been allotted or transferred to the Participant in respect of a Deferred Share Right before the record date for determining entitlements to the bonus issue then the rights attaching to that Deferred Share Right will be altered as follows:

(a) the number of Shares which the Deferred Share Right Holder is entitled to subscribe for on exercise of the Deferred Share Right (S) is determined by the formula:
S = N + (N x R)
where:
N = The number of Shares per Deferred Share Right which the Deferred Share Right Holder is entitled to subscribe for on the record date to determine entitlements to the bonus issue.
R = The number of Shares (including fractions) offered under the bonus issue for each Share held; and 18

(b) the exercise price per Deferred Share Right will not be changed.

10.3 Rights issues

If Iress makes an offer of Shares pro rata to all or substantially all holders of Shares (whether or not an issue in lieu or in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment) then neither the exercise price per Deferred Share

Right nor the number of Shares which the Deferred Share Right Holder is entitled to subscribe for on exercise of the Deferred Share Right will be changed.

10.4 Aggregation

If Deferred Share Rights are exercised simultaneously then the Deferred Share Right Holder may aggregate the number of Shares or fractions of Shares or other securities to which the Deferred Share Right Holder is entitled to subscribe under those Deferred Share Rights. Fractions in the aggregate number only will be disregarded in determining the total entitlement to subscribe.

10.5 Reconstruction

In the event of any reconstruction of the issued ordinary capital of Iress before the exercise of a Deferred Share Right, the number of Shares attaching to each Deferred Share Right will be reconstructed in the manner specified below.

If the manner is not specified then the Board will determine the reconstruction. In any event the reconstruction will not result in any additional benefits being conferred on Deferred Share Right Holders which are not conferred on shareholders of Iress (subject to the same provisions with respect to rounding of entitlements as sanctioned by the meeting of shareholders approving the reconstruction of capital) and in all other respects the terms for the exercise of

Deferred Share Rights will remain unchanged.

In the case of any reconstruction of the issued capital of Iress, the exercise price of the Deferred Share Right will not be changed.

In the event of any consolidation or sub-division of shares or reduction or cancellation of capital then the reconstruction will be determined by the following formulae:

(a) Consolidation; and

(b) Subdivision:
S = C x BA;

(d) Reduction of capital by cancellation of ordinary shares that is either lost or not represented by available assets:
S = C;

(e) Pro rata cancellation of fully paid ordinary shares (not within (c) or (d)):
S = C x ; BA
where:

A = The total number of Shares in issue before the capital reconstruction;

B = The total number of Shares in issue after the capital reconstruction;

C = The number of Shares which the Deferred Share Right Holder is entitled to subscribe for on exercise of a Deferred Share Right before the reconstruction;

S = The number of Shares which the Deferred Share Right Holder is entitled to subscribe for on exercise of a Deferred Share Right after the reconstruction.
10.6 Advice

Iress must give notice to each Deferred Share Right Holder of any adjustment to the number of Shares which the Deferred Share Right Holder is entitled to subscribe for on exercise of a Deferred Share Right or the exercise price per Share in accordance with the Listing Rules.

10.7 Notices

Notices may be given by Iress to the Deferred Share Right Holder in the manner prescribed by IRESS’ 20

Constitution for the giving of notices to members of Iress and the relevant provisions of Iress’ Constitution apply with all necessary modification to notices to Deferred Share Right Holders.

11. Collection and transfer of personal data

A Deferred Share Right Holder authorises Iress and members of the Group to:

(a) collect, use, process and transfer personal data of the Deferred Share Right Holder, including the Tax File Number of the Deferred Share Right Holder, amongst themselves; and

(b) transfer personal data to any third parties, including Computershare Limited;
for the purposes of implementation, administration and management of a Deferred Share Right Holder’s participation in the Plan or assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan more generally. Iress
