| Background | 1 2 3 4 5 |
At the date of this agreement, the Company is a company whose Shares are owned in equal shares by the two Holders. One of the Holders, CIMIC, is listed on ASX and the other, Apollo, is a special purpose vehicle held by an investment fund managed by Affiliates of Apollo Global Management, Inc., a company listed on the NYSE. The Company, CIMIC and Apollo propose that the Company will undertake the IPO and list on ASX, and that CIMIC and Apollo will sell down part of their holdings in the Company as part of the IPO (with Shares being sold to SaleCo (defined below) and on-sold by it in the IPO, alongside issuance of Shares by the Company). In order to ensure a successful IPO, and provide certainty to incoming investors, the Company, CIMIC and Apollo propose to co-ordinate aspects of the issue and sale of Shares in the IPO, and, in the case of CIMIC and Apollo, aspects of their continued ownership of Shares in the Company after the IPO, and the sale of any such Shares after the IPO. In particular, (1) incoming investors will require each of CIMIC and Apollo to retain holdings of Shares after the IPO, and that these holdings will be held by them as Restricted Shares for at least the Escrow Period on the terms set out in this deed; and (2) CIMIC and Apollo will require certainty that any future sell down of such Restricted Shares following expiry of the Escrow Period will occur |

in an orderly manner on the terms set out in this deed (and this will also provide comfort to incoming investors).
6 The parties have entered into this deed to put in place appropriate arrangements with respect to the foregoing, and consider that these arrangements are reasonably necessary as part of their joint endeavour in relation to the Company.
