-
- Item 1 of the schedule ("entity"); and
-
- Item 2 of the schedule ("holder"),
agree as follows.
Introduction
A. The entity intends to issue, or has issued, restricted securities to the holder. The holder has agreed to hold the restricted securities as set out in this deed.
Agreement
Escrow restrictions
-
- During the escrow period, the holder must not:
- (a) dispose of, or agree or offer to dispose of, the restricted securities;
- (b) create, or agree or offer to create, any security interest in the restricted securities; or
- (c) do, or omit to do, any act if the act or omission would have the effect of transferring effective ownership or control of the restricted securities,
("deal") except as permitted by the entity in writing or required under the Sale Agreement, and anything done in contravention of this clause 1 is not binding on, and will not be recognised as legally effective by, the entity.
- The holder agrees that the restricted securities are to be kept on the entity's issuer sponsored subregister and are to have a holding lock applied for the duration of the escrow period unless otherwise agreed by the entity in writing. At the end of the escrow period, subject to clause 5, all restricted securities held by the holder at that time are released from this deed and the entity must procure that the holding lock over such securities is removed with immediate effect. The entity must notify ASX that the restricted securities will be released from the holding lock in accordance with the timing requirements set out in ASX Listing Rule 3.1 0A.
Permitted Dealings
-
- Clause 1 will cease to apply to the extent necessary to allow:
- (a) the holder to accept an offer made under a takeover bid for any of the restricted securities, provided that:
- (i) without limiting clause 3(a)(ii), holders of not less than 50% of the shares to which the takeover bid relates that are not subject to escrow restrictions have accepted the takeover bid; and
- (ii) the takeover bid is unconditional or all conditions to the takeover bid have been satisfied or waived;
- (b) the holder to tender any of the restricted securities into a bid acceptance facility established in connection with a takeover bid, provided that holders of not less than 50% of the shares to which the takeover bid relates that are not subject to escrow restrictions have either accepted the takeover bid or tendered (and not withdrawn) their shares into the bid acceptance facility; or
(c) the restricted securities to be transferred or cancelled as part of an equal share buyback or equal return of capital or other similar pro rata reorganisation, a merger being implemented by way of a scheme of arrangement or an acquisition of all shares, which has in any such case received all necessary approvals, including all such necessary approvals by shareholders of the entity and courts,
provided that, if for any reason any or all restricted securities are not transferred or cancelled in accordance with a takeover bid, scheme of arrangement or other transaction described in clause 3(a), 3(b) or 3(c), then each holder agrees that the restrictions applying to the restricted securities under this deed (including under clauses 1 and 2) will continue to apply and without limiting the foregoing, the holding lock will be reapplied to all restricted securities not so transferred or cancelled; and
(d) during the escrow period, the holder may deal in any of its restricted securities to the extent the dealing is required by applicable law (including an order of a court of competent jurisdiction), provided that any recipient of the restricted securities will continue to be bound by any holding lock or restrictions on dealing that applied immediately prior to the dealing unless otherwise required by applicable law (including an order of a court of competent jurisdiction).
Cancellation of restricted securities
-
- If, during the escrow period, the entity becomes entitled to recover any amount from the holder under a Warranty Claim (Recovery Amount) and the Recovery Amount is agreed between the Buyer and Sellers in writing or determined by judgement or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction during the escrow period, then the Requested Shares to be cancelled for the purposes of that Claim in accordance with clause 9.1 of the Sale Agreement must be released from holding lock to enable their cancellation in accordance with the Sale Agreement
-
- If, as at the end of the escrow period, the entity has given a Claim Notice to the holder in respect of a Warranty Claim that has not been resolved by agreement between the Buyer and the Sellers or determination of a court of competent jurisdiction (Resolved), the holder agrees for such number of its restricted securities that represents a genuine and good faith pre-estimate of the value of that Warranty Claim (as calculated in accordance with clause 9.1 (b)(i) and 9.1(d) of the Sale Agreement) (Further Escrowed Shares) to continue to be held in escrow and subject to holding lock in accordance with the provisions of this deed, until that Warranty Claim is Resolved, provided that:
- (a) all other restricted securities held by the holder as at the end of the escrow period are released to the holder from escrow and holding lock in accordance with clause 2 immediately upon such end; and
- (b) upon that Warranty Claim being Resolved, that number of the Further Escrowed Shares that equals the Requested Shares to be cancelled for the purposes of that Claim in accordance with clause 9.1 of the Sale Agreement must be released from holding lock to enable their cancellation in accordance with the Sale Agreement, and the remainder of the Further Escrowed Shares (if any) must be immediately released to the holder from escrow and holding lock in accordance with clause 2.

Date: 12 May 2023
We, the persons in:
-
- Item 1 of the schedule ("entity"); and
-
- Item 2 of the schedule ("holder"),
agree as follows.
Introduction
A. The entity intends to issue, or has issued, restricted securities to the holder. The holder has agreed to hold the restricted securities as set out in this deed.
Agreement
Escrow restrictions
-
- During the escrow period, the holder must not:
- (a) dispose of, or agree or offer to dispose of, the restricted securities;
- (b) create, or agree or offer to create, any security interest in the restricted securities; or
- (c) do, or omit to do, any act if the act or omission would have the effect of transferring effective ownership or control of the restricted securities,
("deal") except as permitted by the entity in writing or required under the Sale Agreement, and anything done in contravention of this clause 1 is not binding on, and will not be recognised as legally effective by, the entity.
- The holder agrees that the restricted securities are to be kept on the entity's issuer sponsored subregister and are to have a holding lock applied for the duration of the escrow period unless otherwise agreed by the entity in writing. At the end of the escrow period, subject to clause 5, all restricted securities held by the holder at that time are released from this deed and the entity must procure that the holding lock over such securities is removed with immediate effect. The entity must notify ASX that the restricted securities will be released from the holding lock in accordance with the timing requirements set out in ASX Listing Rule 3.1 OA.
Permitted Dealings
-
- Clause 1 will cease to apply to the extent necessary to allow:
- (a) the holder to accept an offer made under a takeover bid for any of the restricted securities, provided that:
- (i) without limiting clause 3(a)(ii), holders of not less than 50% of the shares to which the takeover bid relates that are not subject to escrow restrictions have accepted the takeover bid; and
- (ii) the takeover bid is unconditional or all conditions to the takeover bid have been satisfied or waived;
- (b) the holder to tender any of the restricted securities into a bid acceptance facility established in connection with a takeover bid, provided that holders of not less than 50% of the shares to which the takeover bid relates that are not subject to escrow restrictions have either accepted the takeover bid or tendered (and not withdrawn) their shares into the bid acceptance facility; or
(c) the restricted securities to be transferred or cancelled as part of an equal share buyback or equal return of capital or other similar pro rata reorganisation, a merger being implemented by way of a scheme of arrangement or an acquisition of all shares, which has in any such case received all necessary approvals, including all such necessary approvals by shareholders of the entity and courts,
provided that, if for any reason any or all restricted securities are not transferred or cancelled in accordance with a takeover bid, scheme of arrangement or other transaction described in clause 3(a), 3(b) or 3(c), then each holder agrees that the restrictions applying to the restricted securities under this deed (including under clauses 1 and 2) will continue to apply and without limiting the foregoing, the holding lock will be reapplied to all restricted securities not so transferred or cancelled; and
(d) during the escrow period, the holder may deal in any of its restricted securities to the extent the dealing is required by applicable law (including an order of a court of competent jurisdiction), provided that any recipient of the restricted securities will continue to be bound by any holding lock or restrictions on dealing that applied immediately prior to the dealing unless otherwise required by applicable law (including an order of a court of competent jurisdiction).
Cancellation of restricted securities
-
- If, during the escrow period, the entity becomes entitled to recover any amount from the holder under a Warranty Claim (Recovery Amount) and the Recovery Amount is agreed between the Buyer and Sellers in writing or determined by judgement or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction during the escrow period, then the Requested Shares to be cancelled for the purposes of that Claim in accordance with clause 9.1 of the Sale Agreement must be released from holding lock to enable their cancellation in accordance with the Sale Agreement
-
- If, as at the end of the escrow period, the entity has given a Claim Notice to the holder in respect of a Warranty Claim that has not been resolved by agreement between the Buyer and the Sellers or determination of a court of competent jurisdiction (Resolved), the holder agrees for such number of its restricted securities that represents a genuine and good faith pre-estimate of the value of that Warranty Claim (as calculated in accordance with clause 9.1 (b)(i) and 9.1 (d) of the Sale Agreement) (Further Escrowed Shares) to continue to be held in escrow and subject to holding lock in accordance with the provisions of this deed, until that Warranty Claim is Resolved, provided that:
- (a) all other restricted securities held by the holder as at the end of the escrow period are released to the holder from escrow and holding lock in accordance with clause 2 immediately upon such end; and
- (b) upon that Warranty Claim being Resolved, that number of the Further Escrowed Shares that equals the Requested Shares to be cancelled for the purposes of that Claim in accordance with clause 9.1 of the Sale Agreement must be released from holding lock to enable their cancellation in accordance with the Sale Agreement, and the remainder of the Further Escrowed Shares (if any) must be immediately released to the holder from escrow and holding lock in accordance with clause 2.
