of Directors, monitors compensation of Directors and<br />

executives of the Company.<br />

Generally, compensation is provided by the Company<br />

to its Directors and executives, by way of base salary,<br />

granting of employee options and superannuation.<br />

The overall objective is to ensure that remuneration is<br />

fair and reasonable and sufficient to attract and retain<br />

qualified and experienced Directors and executives.<br />

The remuneration program for the Directors and<br />

executives of the Company is designed to ensure that<br />

the level and form of remuneration achieves certain<br />

objectives, including:<br />

(a) attracting and retaining talented, qualified and<br />

effective Directors and executives;<br />

(b) motivating their short and long-term performance;<br />

and<br />

(c) aligning their interests with those of the Company's<br />

shareholders.<br />

Given the evolving nature of the Company’s business,<br />

the Remuneration Committee continues to review and<br />

redesign the overall compensation plan for Directors<br />

and executives so as to continue to address the<br />

objectives identified above.<br />
