4.   Scheme
 
4.1   Redemption of Units
 
    The parties agree that the following will occur upon implementation of the Scheme on the Implementation Date, in the order set out below:
  (a)   ProLogis will cause the ProLogis Nominee to:
  (i)   subscribe for that number of Units in MPR equal to the number of Units on issue immediately prior to implementation of the Scheme (other than any Units subscribed for by the ProLogis Nominee under clause 4.2(a)(i)) at a subscription price per Unit equal to the Redemption Price per Unit; and
 
  (ii)   pay the subscription price for those Units to MPML in immediately available funds;
  (b)   MPML will issue to the ProLogis Nominee the Units subscribed for under paragraph (a) above;
 
  (c)   MPML will effect a redemption of all of the Units on issue at that time (other than the Units subscribed for by the ProLogis Nominee under clause 4.1(a) and any Units subscribed for by the ProLogis Nominee under clause 4.2(a)(i));

  (b)   MPML will issue to the ProLogis Nominee the Units subscribed for under paragraph (a) above;

If implementation of the Scheme does not take place on the Implementation Date and any Units have been redeemed under this clause 4.2, then without prejudice to a party’s rights under this agreement in the event the Scheme has not been implemented due to the fault of another party, or where another party is in breach of this agreement, the parties must do everything reasonably practicable to re-issue to each Unitholder whose Units have been so redeemed the number of units equivalent to those redeemed and otherwise do everything reasonably practicable to restore that Unitholder and the ProLogis Nominee to the economic position each had been in before the redemption. The issue price for any issue of Units under this clause will be the Redemption Price.
4.3   Special Distribution

  (ii)   if the Pre-Implementation Date is after 30 June 2007, an amount per Unit equal to that proportion of $0.02 which the number of days from 1 July 2007 up until and including the Implementation Date bears to the total number of days in the quarter ending 30 September 2007, rounded down to the second decimal point of a cent.

    For the purposes of the Scheme, MPML must recognise only the following dealings in Units:
  (a)   any redemption or issue of Units in accordance with clause 4.1 or 4.2;

  (c)   for other types of dealings – dealings:
  (i)   that occurred before the close of business on the Trading Cessation Date; and
 
  (ii)   in respect of which a registrable transmission application or transfer in registrable form is received at or before the Record Time at the place where the Register is kept.

5.1   General obligations
 
    Subject to any applicable laws and the ASX Listing Rules (including MPML’s duties as the responsible entity of MPR), each party must execute all documents and take all necessary action within its power to implement the Scheme, including the Transaction Steps in clauses 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. In particular, each party must provide the other party with reasonable assistance to implement the Transaction Steps. No other provision of clause 5 limits the generality of this clause 5.1.
 
5.2   Section 897(i) Election
  (a)   Immediately following execution of this Agreement and prior to the public announcement of the Scheme, MPML will file an election under section 897(i) of the Code and pay to the relevant Tax authority the amount of Tax which is required in order to file that election, as notified by ProLogis to MPML prior to the execution of this Agreement.
 
  (b)   If at any time following the public announcement of the Scheme and prior to the Record Time, ProLogis determines that the election made by MPML in accordance with paragraph (a) above (or the last election made under any prior application of this paragraph (b)) is invalid for any reason (including because at the time the election was made any Units were beneficially owned by a person who was at that time or had previously been the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Units on issue), ProLogis may:
  (i)   at its election seek the consent of any person required in order for MPML to file a new election under section 897(i) of the Code or seek to acquire the relevant Units so that ProLogis can give any necessary consent; and
 
  (ii)   request MPML to immediately file a new election under section 897(i) of the Code and pay to the relevant Tax authority the amount of Tax which is required in order to file that election, as notified by ProLogis to MPML.
If a request is made under sub-paragraph (ii) above, MPML will immediately comply with that request but subject to ProLogis providing to MPR, by way of loan, the funds which MPR is to pay in accordance with clause 5.2(b)(ii). This paragraph (b) may apply any number of times if an election made in accordance with this paragraph is invalid for the reasons described above.

Page 13


 

     
Implementation Agreement  
     
  (c)   If at the Record Time:
  (i)   ProLogis determines that the last election made by MPML in accordance with paragraph (a) or (b) above is invalid for any reason (including because at the time the election was made any Units were beneficially owned by a person who was at that time or had previously been the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Units on issue); and
 
  (ii)   ProLogis has not obtained the consent of any person required in order for MPML to file a new election under section 897(i) of the Code or acquired the relevant Units so that ProLogis can give the necessary consent;
 
  (iii)   those Units continue to be beneficially owned by a person who is at that time or has previously been at any time the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Units on issue,
then clause 4.2 will apply and MPML will, if requested by ProLogis, prior to implementation of the Scheme file a new election under section under section 897(i) of the Code and pay to the relevant Tax authority the amount of Tax which is required in order to file that election, as notified by ProLogis to MPML.
  (d)   MPML will execute all documents and take all steps reasonably required by ProLogis to make any section 897(i) election referred to above (including seeking a refund of any Tax paid with any prior election subsequently found to be invalid) and to assist ProLogis in identifying whether at the time of execution of this Agreement or at any time thereafter any Units were beneficially owned by a person who was at that time or had previously been the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Units on issue (including issuing disclosure notices under Part 6C.2 of the Corporations Act).
 
  (e)   If implementation of the Scheme does not occur before the End Date for any reason other than where:
  (i)   ProLogis terminates this Agreement under clause 10 due to material breach on the part of MPML; or
 
  (ii)   a Competing Proposal is announced or made on or before the End Date and, at any time, the person announcing or making Competing Proposal (and/or any associate (as defined in section 12 of the Corporations Act) of that person) completes the Competing Proposal (or any variation of that Competing Proposal),
ProLogis will on demand from MPML reimburse to MPML the amount of any Tax which MPML was required to pay in order to file an election under section 897(i) of the Code (as notified by ProLogis to MPML at the time) less the amount of any refund of that Tax which MPML has received. If following any reimbursement under this paragraph (e), any Tax which is the subject of that reimbursement is refunded to MPML, MPML will immediately pay the refunded amount to ProLogis.
  (f)   In the circumstances referred to in paragraph (e) above, MPML will take all steps reasonably required to obtain a refund of all Tax paid in order to file an election under section 897(i) of the Code.

  (c)   MPML released or waived any rights of indemnity it has under the MPR Constitution, or engaged in acts or omissions which deprived MPML of such rights to be indemnified.
MPML’s acts, errors or omissions (including related breaches of this Agreement) do not constitute fraud, negligence or breach of trust by MPML for the purposes of this clause 7.3 to the extent to which they were caused or contributed to by any act, error or omission of any other person, other than a person referred to in section 601FB(2) of the Corporations Act.
