  • deliver to the Subscriber a holding statement or such other $(c)$ documentation satisfactory to the Subscriber (acting reasonably) which evidences that the Completion Shares have been issued.

Subject to clause 2.3, if:

  • a Decision to Mine occurs within 2 years of the Completion Date; and $(a)$
  • $(b)$ the Subscriber or any of its permitted assigns has not materially breached any Transaction Document (or any such breach was remedied within 5 Business Days of the Issuer providing notice in writing of such breach),

the period of 2 years referred to in clause 2.2(a) is extended to 3 years.

  • In the event the Subscriber decides to exercise its right to transfer any or $(c)$ all of the Completion Shares in accordance with paragraph 4 of schedule 1 and the Completion Shares are subject to escrow restrictions imposed by ASX, the Issuer will, upon receipt of a notice from the Subscriber, make an application for a waiver of the ASX imposed escrow restrictions to enable the proposed transfer to occur. The Issuer also agrees to provide the Subscriber with the opportunity to comment on and provide input into the application for a waiver of the ASX escrow restrictions prior to its submission.

$4.2$ Participation of Nominated Director

Each of Mr Patrick Mutz, Mr Chaodian Chen and Mr Fei Wu (or any other person who is nominated by the Subscriber and is appointed as a Director at Completion in place of them), and any subsequent replacements of any of them on the Board, are "Nominated Directors" for the purposes of this document except that Mr Mutz will not be considered to be a Nominated Director for the purposes of clauses 4.1(a)(iii) to 4.1(a)(v) (inclusive) unless a majority of the Relevant Directors determine that he should be treated as a Nominated Director (which may be made in their absolute discretion).

  • $(c)$ Notwithstanding anything else in this clause 4, the number of Shares that the Subscriber may be required to subscribe for under this clause 4 as a result of the exercise of the Funding Right is limited to the number of Shares which will result in the Subscriber maintaining its Ownership Percentage following the New Issue.
  • The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Funding Right: $(d)$
  • $(i)$ has been granted to reflect the strategic relationship between the Subscriber and the Issuer arising as a result of the transactions contemplated under the Transaction Documents;
  • $(ii)$ shall not apply to an issue by the Issuer of:
    • $(A)$ Equity Securities issued pursuant to any asset acquisition. merger, business combination, tender offer, exchange offer, takeover or scheme of arrangement;

    • Equity Securities to a Related Body Corporate of the $(C)$ Subscriber:
  • $(iii)$ may only be exercised or enforced for payment in cash; and
  • $(iv)$ will apply in respect of each New Issue offered during the 12 month period after Completion.

  • $(i)$ the date for the execution by the issuer and participants of legally binding commitments in respect of the New Issue; or
  • $(i)$ any record date for the New Issue.
  • $(b)$ The Issue Notice must specify the:
  • $(i)$ maximum and minimum number of Equity Securities proposed to be issued (as determined by the Issuer acting reasonably);

Securities will be issued by the Issuer under the New Issue (as determined by the Issuer acting reasonably);

  • $(iv)$ date for either:
  • $(A)$ the execution by the Issuer and participants of legally binding commitments: or
  • the submission of completed application documentation and $(B)$ subscription amount.

in respect of, and as appropriate for, the New Issue; and

  • $(v)$ terms and conditions of the Equity Securities proposed to be issued and the material terms of any agreement required to be executed to subscribe for those Equity Securities (such as a placement letter or subscription agreement).
  • If the Issuer gives a valid Issue Notice to the Subscriber then the Issuer $(c)$ must:
  • provide the Subscriber with either: $(i)$

    • $(B)$ the application documentation required to be completed and submitted by the Subscriber,

whichever is applicable to the New Issue and at the same time as provided to other participants in the New Issue, to subscribe for those Equity Securities (including the final subscription price per Equity Security and the number of Equity Securities to which the Subscriber must apply or subscribe for) which, subject to any requirement to obtain prior shareholder approval as contemplated in clause 4.5(e), must be in a form which is no less favourable to the Subscriber than:

  • $(C)$ the terms specified in the Issue Notice:
  • $(D)$ the agreements to be signed or application documents to be completed and submitted by the other participants in the New Issue.

and if:

  • an agreement to be executed, which provides the Subscriber $(E)$ at least 10 Business Days from the date of execution of the agreement to pay subscription amount to the Issuer; or

  • $(e)$ The parties acknowledge that circumstances may arise where shareholder approval may be required by law or pursuant to the ASX Listing Rules before Equity Securities in the Issuer can be issued to the Subscriber under the Funding Right (including as a consequence of ASX being of the opinion that the Subscriber's relationship with the Issuer is such that ASX Listing Rule 10.11 will apply to any issue or agreement to issue Equity Securities to the Subscriber unless one of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies).

  • $(f)$ If the Issuer does not give a valid Issue Notice to the Subscriber within the timeframe required by clause 4.5(a), then the Issuer is deemed to have waived the operation of the Funding Right in respect of the New Issue.
  • $(g)$ Unless the parties agree otherwise, the Issuer and Subscriber must recomply with the requirements of this clause 4.5 before proceeding with any New Issue if:
  • $(i)$ any of the terms of the documentation referred to in clause 4.5(c) are materially different to that specified in the Issue Notice (with a change in issue price being deemed to be material); or

$(ii)$ the final number of Shares to be issued or the price at which they are to be issued as part of a New Issue is outside of the minimum and maximum range specified in the Issue Notice.
