(e) The limitations contained in clauses 4.2(a) to 4.2(c) do not apply to the extent that

such limitations or rights of indemnity are or become unavailable as a result of the

operation of law, or as a result of any fraud, negligence or breach of trust by the

Trustee.

(f) The Trustee warrants and represents to SaleCo and the Company that:

(i) it has a full right of indemnity against the assets of the relevant trust and

undertakes that it will notify SaleCo and the Company as soon as reasonably

practicable on such right being reduced, qualified or limited in any way;

(ii) it has not done or omitted to do, and undertakes that it will not, during the

term of this Deed Poll, do or omit to do, anything which has or would limit,

transferred or cancelled in accordance with such a takeover offer or scheme of

arrangement (including because the takeover offer does not become

Shares under this deed will continue to apply and without limiting the foregoing, the

this deed for the remainder of the Escrow Period; or

trust and transferring all of the Escrow Shares to any new or replacement

trustee of the relevant trust, provided that the new or replacement trustee

enters in a voluntary escrow deed with the Company in relation to the

Escrow Shares transferred on the same terms as this deed for the remainder

of the Escrow Period.

extent the Dealing is required by applicable law (including an order of a court of

competent jurisdiction).

Escrow Period; or

injunction or specific performance to enforce the Holder's obligations under clause

3 without proof of actual damage and without prejudice to any of its other rights or

12 Capacity

If the Holder has entered into this deed as a trustee:

(a) notwithstanding any other provision of this deed (including any provision expressed

to prevail over this clause 12), but subject to clause 12(c), the Holder enters into

this deed only in its capacity as trustee of the relevant trust and in no other

capacity. A liability arising under or in connection with this deed can be enforced

against the Holder only to the extent which it can be satisfied out of the property of

the relevant trust for which the Holder is actually indemnified for the liability. The

Holder will exercise its rights of indemnification in order to satisfy its obligations

under this deed;

(b) subject to clause 12(c), a party to this deed may not sue the Holder in any capacity

other than as trustee in respect of the relevant trust, including seeking the

appointment to the Holder of a receiver (except in relation to property of the

relevant trust), a liquidator, administrator or any similar person; and

(c) the provisions of this clause 12 will not apply to any obligation or liability of the

Holder to the extent that it is not satisfied because under the relevant trust deed or

by operation of law, there is a reduction in the extent to which the Holder is entitled

to exercise its right of indemnification out of the assets of the relevant trust, or the

right does not exist at all, as a result of the Holder's fraud, negligence, improper

performance of duties or breach of trust.

is actually indemnified for the liability. This limitation of the Trustee’s liability applies

trustee of the relevant trust, including seeking the appointment of a receiver

(except in relation to property of the relevant trust), a liquidator, an administrator or

arrangement of or affecting that Trustee (except in relation to property of the

relevant trust).

this Deed Poll has authority to act on behalf of a Trustee in a way which exposes

that Trustee to any personal liability.

(d) A Trustee is not obliged to do or refrain from doing anything under this Deed Poll

(including, without limitation, incur any liability) unless that Trustee’s liability is

limited in the same manner as set out in paragraphs (a) to (c) of this clause 4.2.

(e) The limitations contained in clauses 4.2(a) to 4.2(c) do not apply to the extent that

such limitations or rights of indemnity are or become unavailable as a result of the

operation of law, or as a result of any fraud, negligence or breach of trust by the

Trustee.

(f) The Trustee warrants and represents to SaleCo and the Company that:

(i) it has a full right of indemnity against the assets of the relevant trust and

undertakes that it will notify SaleCo and the Company as soon as reasonably

practicable on such right being reduced, qualified or limited in any way;

(ii) it has not done or omitted to do, and undertakes that it will not, during the

term of this Deed Poll, do or omit to do, anything which has or would limit,

affect, amend or in any manner whatsoever restrict its rights of indemnity

against the assets of the relevant trust.

Subject to clause 4.2 (Application of Holding Lock), the Holder agrees to the

5 Exceptions

5.1 Dealing

(a) During the Escrow Period, the Holder may Deal in any of its Escrow Shares if the

Dealing arises solely as a result of:

(i) the acceptance of a bona fide third party full or partial takeover offer made

under the Takeovers Code in relation to those Escrow Shares. For clarity, if

a full or partial takeover offer is made or proposed to be made during the

Escrow Period, directly or indirectly by a person who is not the Holder or an

Affiliate of them, then the Holder may sell, or agree, or offer to sell all or part

of any of the Escrow Shares to the offeror under that offer; or

(ii) the transfer or cancellation of the Escrow Shares in the Company as part of

a scheme of arrangement under Part 15 of the Companies Act, provided that

the scheme of arrangement has received all necessary approvals, including

all such necessary court and shareholder approvals,


Gilbert + Tobin


3462-6486-2742 v1 page | 3


provided, in each case, that if for any reason any or all Escrow Shares are not

transferred or cancelled in accordance with such a takeover offer or scheme of

arrangement (including because the takeover offer does not become

unconditional), then the Holder agrees that the restrictions applying to the Escrow

Shares under this deed will continue to apply and without limiting the foregoing, the

Holding Lock will be reapplied to all Escrow Shares not so transferred or cancelled.

(b) During the Escrow Period, the Holder may Deal in any of its Escrow Shares if the

Dealing arises solely as a result of:

(i) the Holder transferring legal title to any of the Escrow Shares directly to the

beneficial owner of those shares, provided that such beneficial owner must

enter into (or is already a party to) a voluntary escrow deed with the

Company in relation to the Escrow Shares transferred on the same terms as

this deed for the remainder of the Escrow Period; or

(ii) the Holder having entered into this deed in the capacity as a trustee of a

trust and transferring all of the Escrow Shares to any new or replacement

trustee of the relevant trust, provided that the new or replacement trustee

enters in a voluntary escrow deed with the Company in relation to the

Escrow Shares transferred on the same terms as this deed for the remainder

of the Escrow Period.

(c) During the Escrow Period, the Holder may Deal in any of its Escrow Shares to the

extent the Dealing is required by applicable law (including an order of a court of

competent jurisdiction).

5.2 Notice

If the Holder becomes aware:

(a) that a Dealing in any Escrow Shares has occurred, or is likely to occur, during the

Escrow Period; or

(b) of any matter which is likely to give rise to a Dealing in any Escrow Shares during

the Escrow Period,

it must notify the Company as soon as practicable after becoming aware of the Dealing or

the matters likely to give rise to the Dealing, providing full details.

(ii) the Holder has the right to be fully indemnified out of the assets of the Trust

in respect of any liability arising under, or in connection with, this deed and

the right has not been modified, released or diminished in any way. The

assets of the Trust are sufficient to satisfy that right in full and the Holder has

not released or disposed of its equitable lien over that trust; and

(iii) the Trust has not been terminated and there is no effective proposal or

requirement to wind up, deregister, terminate, reconstitute or resettle the

Trust.

dealing with the Escrow Shares or exercising rights attaching to, or afforded to the holder

of the Escrow Shares, including (without limitation) by:

(b) receiving or being entitled to any dividend, return of capital or other distribution

attaching to Escrow Shares; and

clause 3 and the Holder agrees that the Company is entitled to seek and obtain an

injunction or specific performance to enforce the Holder's obligations under clause

3 without proof of actual damage and without prejudice to any of its other rights or

remedies.

this deed only in its capacity as trustee of the relevant trust and in no other

by operation of law, there is a reduction in the extent to which the Holder is entitled

to exercise its right of indemnification out of the assets of the relevant trust, or the

right does not exist at all, as a result of the Holder's fraud, negligence, improper

the Escrow Shares.

4 Holding Lock

4.1 Agreement to Holding Lock

Subject to clause 4.2 (Application of Holding Lock), the Holder agrees to the

only remove the Holding Lock with respect to the Escrow Shares if permitted under

clause 4.3 (Removal of Holding Lock).

5 Exceptions

5.1 Dealing

(a) During the Escrow Period, the Holder may Deal in any of its Escrow Shares if the

Dealing arises solely as a result of:

(i) the acceptance of a bona fide third party full or partial takeover offer made

under the Takeovers Code in relation to those Escrow Shares. For clarity, if

a full or partial takeover offer is made or proposed to be made during the

Escrow Period, directly or indirectly by a person who is not the Holder or an

Affiliate of them, then the Holder may sell, or agree, or offer to sell all or part

of any of the Escrow Shares to the offeror under that offer; or

(ii) the transfer or cancellation of the Escrow Shares in the Company as part of

a scheme of arrangement under Part 15 of the Companies Act, provided that

the scheme of arrangement has received all necessary approvals, including

all such necessary court and shareholder approvals,


Gilbert + Tobin


3462-6486-2742 v1 page | 3


provided, in each case, that if for any reason any or all Escrow Shares are not

transferred or cancelled in accordance with such a takeover offer or scheme of

arrangement (including because the takeover offer does not become

unconditional), then the Holder agrees that the restrictions applying to the Escrow

Shares under this deed will continue to apply and without limiting the foregoing, the

Holding Lock will be reapplied to all Escrow Shares not so transferred or cancelled.

(b) During the Escrow Period, the Holder may Deal in any of its Escrow Shares if the

Dealing arises solely as a result of:

(i) the Holder transferring legal title to any of the Escrow Shares directly to the

beneficial owner of those shares, provided that such beneficial owner must

enter into (or is already a party to) a voluntary escrow deed with the

Company in relation to the Escrow Shares transferred on the same terms as

this deed for the remainder of the Escrow Period; or

(ii) the Holder having entered into this deed in the capacity as a trustee of a

trust and transferring all of the Escrow Shares to any new or replacement

trustee of the relevant trust, provided that the new or replacement trustee

enters in a voluntary escrow deed with the Company in relation to the

Escrow Shares transferred on the same terms as this deed for the remainder

of the Escrow Period.

(c) During the Escrow Period, the Holder may Deal in any of its Escrow Shares to the

extent the Dealing is required by applicable law (including an order of a court of

competent jurisdiction).

5.2 Notice

If the Holder becomes aware:

(a) that a Dealing in any Escrow Shares has occurred, or is likely to occur, during the

Escrow Period; or

(b) of any matter which is likely to give rise to a Dealing in any Escrow Shares during

the Escrow Period,

it must notify the Company as soon as practicable after becoming aware of the Dealing or

the matters likely to give rise to the Dealing, providing full details.

The warranties and representations in this clause 6 are given in respect of any and all

Escrow Shares which the Holder holds during the Escrow Period, including as a result of

a permitted Dealing in accordance with clause 5 of this deed.


Gilbert + Tobin

trust (Trust));

(b) it has taken all necessary action to authorise the execution, delivery and

performance of this deed in accordance with its terms;

(c) this deed constitutes legal, valid and binding obligations and, subject to any

the trust deed for the Trust); or

(iii) any agreement, undertaking, encumbrance or document which is binding on

that party.

(e) before the Escrow Period begins, it has not done, or omitted to do, any act which

would breach clause 3 of this deed if done or omitted to be done during the Escrow

Period or taken any other action which will cause it to breach clause 3 of this deed

during the Escrow Period;

(f) immediately following Completion, the Holder will hold the Escrow Shares as set

out in Schedule 2 (Details);

(g) the Holder has not granted any encumbrances or any interests or rights to third

permitted by this deed);

(h) the Escrow Shares will, immediately following Completion, be all of the securities,

economic interests or other interests that the Holder directly or indirectly has in the

Company;

or by agreement or by virtue of any person being the manager or adviser of the

3462-6486-2742 v1 page | 5


(ii) the Holder has the right to be fully indemnified out of the assets of the Trust

in respect of any liability arising under, or in connection with, this deed and

the right has not been modified, released or diminished in any way. The

assets of the Trust are sufficient to satisfy that right in full and the Holder has

not released or disposed of its equitable lien over that trust; and

(iii) the Trust has not been terminated and there is no effective proposal or

requirement to wind up, deregister, terminate, reconstitute or resettle the

Trust.

6.3 Breach of warranties

A breach of any of the warranties and representations in this clause 6 is a breach of the

terms of this deed.

6.4 Survival of warranties and representations

The warranties and representations in this clause 6 survive termination of this deed.

7 Permitted dealings with the Escrow Shares

Except as expressly provided for in clause 3, nothing in this deed restricts the Holder from

dealing with the Escrow Shares or exercising rights attaching to, or afforded to the holder

of the Escrow Shares, including (without limitation) by:

(a) exercising any voting rights attaching to Escrow Shares;

(b) receiving or being entitled to any dividend, return of capital or other distribution

attaching to Escrow Shares; and

(c) receiving or participating in any rights or bonus issue in connection with the Escrow

Shares.

8 Consequences of breach

sale, assignment, transfer or conversion of any of the Escrow Shares. This is

in addition and without prejudice to other rights and remedies of the

Company.

clause 3 and the Holder agrees that the Company is entitled to seek and obtain an

injunction or specific performance to enforce the Holder's obligations under clause

3 without proof of actual damage and without prejudice to any of its other rights or

remedies.


Gilbert + Tobin


3462-6486-2742 v1 page | 6

10 Termination

This deed terminates automatically if:

12 Capacity

If the Holder has entered into this deed as a trustee:

(a) notwithstanding any other provision of this deed (including any provision expressed

to prevail over this clause 12), but subject to clause 12(c), the Holder enters into

this deed only in its capacity as trustee of the relevant trust and in no other

capacity. A liability arising under or in connection with this deed can be enforced

Holder will exercise its rights of indemnification in order to satisfy its obligations

under this deed;

other than as trustee in respect of the relevant trust, including seeking the

appointment to the Holder of a receiver (except in relation to property of the

relevant trust), a liquidator, administrator or any similar person; and

(c) the provisions of this clause 12 will not apply to any obligation or liability of the

Holder to the extent that it is not satisfied because under the relevant trust deed or

by operation of law, there is a reduction in the extent to which the Holder is entitled

to exercise its right of indemnification out of the assets of the relevant trust, or the

right does not exist at all, as a result of the Holder's fraud, negligence, improper

performance of duties or breach of trust.

the Escrow Shares.

4 Holding Lock

4.1 Agreement to Holding Lock

Subject to clause 4.2 (Application of Holding Lock), the Holder agrees to the

clause 4.3 (Removal of Holding Lock).

5 Exceptions

5.1 Dealing

(a) During the Escrow Period, the Holder may Deal in any of its Escrow Shares if the

Dealing arises solely as a result of:

(i) the acceptance of a bona fide third party full or partial takeover offer made

under the Takeovers Code in relation to those Escrow Shares. For clarity, if

a full or partial takeover offer is made or proposed to be made during the

Escrow Period, directly or indirectly by a person who is not the Holder or an

Affiliate of them, then the Holder may sell, or agree, or offer to sell all or part

of any of the Escrow Shares to the offeror under that offer; or

(ii) the transfer or cancellation of the Escrow Shares in the Company as part of

a scheme of arrangement under Part 15 of the Companies Act, provided that

the scheme of arrangement has received all necessary approvals, including

all such necessary court and shareholder approvals,


Gilbert + Tobin


3462-6486-2742 v1 page | 3


provided, in each case, that if for any reason any or all Escrow Shares are not

transferred or cancelled in accordance with such a takeover offer or scheme of

arrangement (including because the takeover offer does not become

unconditional), then the Holder agrees that the restrictions applying to the Escrow

Shares under this deed will continue to apply and without limiting the foregoing, the

Holding Lock will be reapplied to all Escrow Shares not so transferred or cancelled.

(b) During the Escrow Period, the Holder may Deal in any of its Escrow Shares if the

Dealing arises solely as a result of:

(i) the Holder transferring legal title to any of the Escrow Shares directly to the

beneficial owner of those shares, provided that such beneficial owner must

enter into (or is already a party to) a voluntary escrow deed with the

Company in relation to the Escrow Shares transferred on the same terms as

this deed for the remainder of the Escrow Period; or

(ii) the Holder having entered into this deed in the capacity as a trustee of a

trust and transferring all of the Escrow Shares to any new or replacement

trustee of the relevant trust, provided that the new or replacement trustee

enters in a voluntary escrow deed with the Company in relation to the

Escrow Shares transferred on the same terms as this deed for the remainder

of the Escrow Period.

(c) During the Escrow Period, the Holder may Deal in any of its Escrow Shares to the

extent the Dealing is required by applicable law (including an order of a court of

competent jurisdiction).

5.2 Notice

If the Holder becomes aware:

(a) that a Dealing in any Escrow Shares has occurred, or is likely to occur, during the

Escrow Period; or

(b) of any matter which is likely to give rise to a Dealing in any Escrow Shares during

the Escrow Period,

it must notify the Company as soon as practicable after becoming aware of the Dealing or

the matters likely to give rise to the Dealing, providing full details.

The warranties and representations in this clause 6 are given in respect of any and all

The Holder warrants and represents the following:

trust (Trust));

(b) it has taken all necessary action to authorise the execution, delivery and

performance of this deed in accordance with its terms;

(c) this deed constitutes legal, valid and binding obligations and, subject to any

would breach clause 3 of this deed if done or omitted to be done during the Escrow

Period or taken any other action which will cause it to breach clause 3 of this deed

during the Escrow Period;

(f) immediately following Completion, the Holder will hold the Escrow Shares as set

out in Schedule 2 (Details);

(g) the Holder has not granted any encumbrances or any interests or rights to third

permitted by this deed);

(h) the Escrow Shares will, immediately following Completion, be all of the securities,

economic interests or other interests that the Holder directly or indirectly has in the

Company;

(i) no person (other than the Holder) has the power to direct or cause the direction of

or by agreement or by virtue of any person being the manager or adviser of the

(j) there is no Controller and there are no Controller Interests; and

3462-6486-2742 v1 page | 5


(ii) the Holder has the right to be fully indemnified out of the assets of the Trust

in respect of any liability arising under, or in connection with, this deed and

the right has not been modified, released or diminished in any way. The

assets of the Trust are sufficient to satisfy that right in full and the Holder has

not released or disposed of its equitable lien over that trust; and

(iii) the Trust has not been terminated and there is no effective proposal or

requirement to wind up, deregister, terminate, reconstitute or resettle the

Trust.

6.3 Breach of warranties

A breach of any of the warranties and representations in this clause 6 is a breach of the

terms of this deed.

6.4 Survival of warranties and representations

The warranties and representations in this clause 6 survive termination of this deed.

7 Permitted dealings with the Escrow Shares

Except as expressly provided for in clause 3, nothing in this deed restricts the Holder from

dealing with the Escrow Shares or exercising rights attaching to, or afforded to the holder

of the Escrow Shares, including (without limitation) by:

(a) exercising any voting rights attaching to Escrow Shares;

(b) receiving or being entitled to any dividend, return of capital or other distribution

attaching to Escrow Shares; and

(c) receiving or participating in any rights or bonus issue in connection with the Escrow

Shares.

8 Consequences of breach

sale, assignment, transfer or conversion of any of the Escrow Shares. This is

in addition and without prejudice to other rights and remedies of the

Company.

clause 3 and the Holder agrees that the Company is entitled to seek and obtain an

injunction or specific performance to enforce the Holder's obligations under clause

3 without proof of actual damage and without prejudice to any of its other rights or

remedies.


Gilbert + Tobin


3462-6486-2742 v1 page | 6


9 Amendment

This deed can only be amended or replaced by another deed executed by the parties.

10 Termination

This deed terminates automatically if:

(a) the Company withdraws the Initial Public Offer;

(b) Official Quotation of the Ordinary Shares has not been achieved by 31 December

Each party authorises the Company (or any person delegated such authority in writing by

(b) any other details necessary to complete Schedule 2.

12 Capacity

If the Holder has entered into this deed as a trustee:

(a) notwithstanding any other provision of this deed (including any provision expressed

to prevail over this clause 12), but subject to clause 12(c), the Holder enters into

this deed only in its capacity as trustee of the relevant trust and in no other

capacity. A liability arising under or in connection with this deed can be enforced

against the Holder only to the extent which it can be satisfied out of the property of

the relevant trust for which the Holder is actually indemnified for the liability. The

Holder will exercise its rights of indemnification in order to satisfy its obligations

under this deed;

(b) subject to clause 12(c), a party to this deed may not sue the Holder in any capacity

other than as trustee in respect of the relevant trust, including seeking the

appointment to the Holder of a receiver (except in relation to property of the

relevant trust), a liquidator, administrator or any similar person; and

(c) the provisions of this clause 12 will not apply to any obligation or liability of the

Holder to the extent that it is not satisfied because under the relevant trust deed or

by operation of law, there is a reduction in the extent to which the Holder is entitled

to exercise its right of indemnification out of the assets of the relevant trust, or the

right does not exist at all, as a result of the Holder's fraud, negligence, improper

performance of duties or breach of trust.

(e) The limitations contained in clauses 4.2(a) to 4.2(c) do not apply to the extent that

such limitations or rights of indemnity are or become unavailable as a result of the

operation of law, or as a result of any fraud, negligence or breach of trust by the

Trustee.

(f) The Trustee warrants and represents to SaleCo and the Company that:

(i) it has a full right of indemnity against the assets of the relevant trust and

undertakes that it will notify SaleCo and the Company as soon as reasonably

practicable on such right being reduced, qualified or limited in any way;

(ii) it has not done or omitted to do, and undertakes that it will not, during the

term of this Deed Poll, do or omit to do, anything which has or would limit,

affect, amend or in any manner whatsoever restrict its rights of indemnity

the Escrow Shares.

4 Holding Lock

Subject to clause 4.2 (Application of Holding Lock), the Holder agrees to the

clause 4.3 (Removal of Holding Lock).

(a) During the Escrow Period, the Holder may Deal in any of its Escrow Shares if the

Dealing arises solely as a result of:

(i) the acceptance of a bona fide third party full or partial takeover offer made

under the Takeovers Code in relation to those Escrow Shares. For clarity, if

a full or partial takeover offer is made or proposed to be made during the

Escrow Period, directly or indirectly by a person who is not the Holder or an

Affiliate of them, then the Holder may sell, or agree, or offer to sell all or part

of any of the Escrow Shares to the offeror under that offer; or

(ii) the transfer or cancellation of the Escrow Shares in the Company as part of

a scheme of arrangement under Part 15 of the Companies Act, provided that

the scheme of arrangement has received all necessary approvals, including

all such necessary court and shareholder approvals,


Gilbert + Tobin


3462-6486-2742 v1 page | 3


provided, in each case, that if for any reason any or all Escrow Shares are not

transferred or cancelled in accordance with such a takeover offer or scheme of

arrangement (including because the takeover offer does not become

unconditional), then the Holder agrees that the restrictions applying to the Escrow

Shares under this deed will continue to apply and without limiting the foregoing, the

Holding Lock will be reapplied to all Escrow Shares not so transferred or cancelled.

(b) During the Escrow Period, the Holder may Deal in any of its Escrow Shares if the

Dealing arises solely as a result of:

(i) the Holder transferring legal title to any of the Escrow Shares directly to the

beneficial owner of those shares, provided that such beneficial owner must

enter into (or is already a party to) a voluntary escrow deed with the

Company in relation to the Escrow Shares transferred on the same terms as

this deed for the remainder of the Escrow Period; or

(ii) the Holder having entered into this deed in the capacity as a trustee of a

trust and transferring all of the Escrow Shares to any new or replacement

trustee of the relevant trust, provided that the new or replacement trustee

enters in a voluntary escrow deed with the Company in relation to the

Escrow Shares transferred on the same terms as this deed for the remainder

of the Escrow Period.

(c) During the Escrow Period, the Holder may Deal in any of its Escrow Shares to the

extent the Dealing is required by applicable law (including an order of a court of

competent jurisdiction).

5.2 Notice

If the Holder becomes aware:

(a) that a Dealing in any Escrow Shares has occurred, or is likely to occur, during the

Escrow Period; or

(b) of any matter which is likely to give rise to a Dealing in any Escrow Shares during

the Escrow Period,

it must notify the Company as soon as practicable after becoming aware of the Dealing or

the matters likely to give rise to the Dealing, providing full details.

The warranties and representations in this clause 6 are given in respect of any and all

Escrow Shares which the Holder holds during the Escrow Period, including as a result of

a permitted Dealing in accordance with clause 5 of this deed.

The Holder warrants and represents the following:

trust (Trust));

(b) it has taken all necessary action to authorise the execution, delivery and

performance of this deed in accordance with its terms;

(c) this deed constitutes legal, valid and binding obligations and, subject to any

(iii) any agreement, undertaking, encumbrance or document which is binding on

would breach clause 3 of this deed if done or omitted to be done during the Escrow

Period or taken any other action which will cause it to breach clause 3 of this deed

during the Escrow Period;

(f) immediately following Completion, the Holder will hold the Escrow Shares as set

out in Schedule 2 (Details);

(g) the Holder has not granted any encumbrances or any interests or rights to third

permitted by this deed);

(h) the Escrow Shares will, immediately following Completion, be all of the securities,

economic interests or other interests that the Holder directly or indirectly has in the

Company;

(i) no person (other than the Holder) has the power to direct or cause the direction of

the management of the Holder, whether through the ownership of voting securities

or by agreement or by virtue of any person being the manager or adviser of the

Holder or otherwise;

(j) there is no Controller and there are no Controller Interests; and

and belief, there is no proposal to remove or replace it as trustee of the

Trust;


Gilbert + Tobin


3462-6486-2742 v1 page | 5


(ii) the Holder has the right to be fully indemnified out of the assets of the Trust

in respect of any liability arising under, or in connection with, this deed and

the right has not been modified, released or diminished in any way. The

assets of the Trust are sufficient to satisfy that right in full and the Holder has

not released or disposed of its equitable lien over that trust; and

(iii) the Trust has not been terminated and there is no effective proposal or

requirement to wind up, deregister, terminate, reconstitute or resettle the

Trust.

6.3 Breach of warranties

A breach of any of the warranties and representations in this clause 6 is a breach of the

terms of this deed.

6.4 Survival of warranties and representations

The warranties and representations in this clause 6 survive termination of this deed.

7 Permitted dealings with the Escrow Shares

Except as expressly provided for in clause 3, nothing in this deed restricts the Holder from

dealing with the Escrow Shares or exercising rights attaching to, or afforded to the holder

of the Escrow Shares, including (without limitation) by:

(a) exercising any voting rights attaching to Escrow Shares;

(b) receiving or being entitled to any dividend, return of capital or other distribution

attaching to Escrow Shares; and

(c) receiving or participating in any rights or bonus issue in connection with the Escrow

Shares.

8 Consequences of breach

(i) the Company may take any steps that it considers necessary to enforce this

sale, assignment, transfer or conversion of any of the Escrow Shares. This is

in addition and without prejudice to other rights and remedies of the

Company.

clause 3 and the Holder agrees that the Company is entitled to seek and obtain an

injunction or specific performance to enforce the Holder's obligations under clause

3 without proof of actual damage and without prejudice to any of its other rights or

remedies.


Gilbert + Tobin


3462-6486-2742 v1 page | 6


9 Amendment

This deed can only be amended or replaced by another deed executed by the parties.

10 Termination

This deed terminates automatically if:

(a) the Company withdraws the Initial Public Offer;

12 Capacity

If the Holder has entered into this deed as a trustee:

(a) notwithstanding any other provision of this deed (including any provision expressed

to prevail over this clause 12), but subject to clause 12(c), the Holder enters into

this deed only in its capacity as trustee of the relevant trust and in no other

capacity. A liability arising under or in connection with this deed can be enforced

against the Holder only to the extent which it can be satisfied out of the property of

the relevant trust for which the Holder is actually indemnified for the liability. The

Holder will exercise its rights of indemnification in order to satisfy its obligations

under this deed;

(b) subject to clause 12(c), a party to this deed may not sue the Holder in any capacity

other than as trustee in respect of the relevant trust, including seeking the

appointment to the Holder of a receiver (except in relation to property of the

relevant trust), a liquidator, administrator or any similar person; and

(c) the provisions of this clause 12 will not apply to any obligation or liability of the

Holder to the extent that it is not satisfied because under the relevant trust deed or

by operation of law, there is a reduction in the extent to which the Holder is entitled

to exercise its right of indemnification out of the assets of the relevant trust, or the

right does not exist at all, as a result of the Holder's fraud, negligence, improper

performance of duties or breach of trust.

Subject to clause 4.2 (Application of Holding Lock), the Holder agrees to the

Dealing arises solely as a result of:

(i) the acceptance of a bona fide third party full or partial takeover offer made

under the Takeovers Code in relation to those Escrow Shares. For clarity, if

a full or partial takeover offer is made or proposed to be made during the

Affiliate of them, then the Holder may sell, or agree, or offer to sell all or part

of any of the Escrow Shares to the offeror under that offer; or

a scheme of arrangement under Part 15 of the Companies Act, provided that

the scheme of arrangement has received all necessary approvals, including

all such necessary court and shareholder approvals,


Gilbert + Tobin


3462-6486-2742 v1 page | 3


provided, in each case, that if for any reason any or all Escrow Shares are not

transferred or cancelled in accordance with such a takeover offer or scheme of

arrangement (including because the takeover offer does not become

unconditional), then the Holder agrees that the restrictions applying to the Escrow

Shares under this deed will continue to apply and without limiting the foregoing, the

Holding Lock will be reapplied to all Escrow Shares not so transferred or cancelled.

(b) During the Escrow Period, the Holder may Deal in any of its Escrow Shares if the

Dealing arises solely as a result of:

(i) the Holder transferring legal title to any of the Escrow Shares directly to the

beneficial owner of those shares, provided that such beneficial owner must

enter into (or is already a party to) a voluntary escrow deed with the

Company in relation to the Escrow Shares transferred on the same terms as

this deed for the remainder of the Escrow Period; or

(ii) the Holder having entered into this deed in the capacity as a trustee of a

trust and transferring all of the Escrow Shares to any new or replacement

trustee of the relevant trust, provided that the new or replacement trustee

enters in a voluntary escrow deed with the Company in relation to the

Escrow Shares transferred on the same terms as this deed for the remainder

of the Escrow Period.

(c) During the Escrow Period, the Holder may Deal in any of its Escrow Shares to the

extent the Dealing is required by applicable law (including an order of a court of

competent jurisdiction).

5.2 Notice

If the Holder becomes aware:

(a) that a Dealing in any Escrow Shares has occurred, or is likely to occur, during the

Escrow Period; or

(b) of any matter which is likely to give rise to a Dealing in any Escrow Shares during

the Escrow Period,

it must notify the Company as soon as practicable after becoming aware of the Dealing or

the matters likely to give rise to the Dealing, providing full details.

performance of this deed in accordance with its terms;

(c) this deed constitutes legal, valid and binding obligations and, subject to any

out in Schedule 2 (Details);

(h) the Escrow Shares will, immediately following Completion, be all of the securities,

economic interests or other interests that the Holder directly or indirectly has in the

3462-6486-2742 v1 page | 5


(ii) the Holder has the right to be fully indemnified out of the assets of the Trust

in respect of any liability arising under, or in connection with, this deed and

the right has not been modified, released or diminished in any way. The

assets of the Trust are sufficient to satisfy that right in full and the Holder has

not released or disposed of its equitable lien over that trust; and

(iii) the Trust has not been terminated and there is no effective proposal or

requirement to wind up, deregister, terminate, reconstitute or resettle the

Trust.

6.3 Breach of warranties

A breach of any of the warranties and representations in this clause 6 is a breach of the

terms of this deed.

The warranties and representations in this clause 6 survive termination of this deed.

7 Permitted dealings with the Escrow Shares

Except as expressly provided for in clause 3, nothing in this deed restricts the Holder from

dealing with the Escrow Shares or exercising rights attaching to, or afforded to the holder

of the Escrow Shares, including (without limitation) by:

(b) receiving or being entitled to any dividend, return of capital or other distribution

attaching to Escrow Shares; and

Shares.

sale, assignment, transfer or conversion of any of the Escrow Shares. This is

clause 3 and the Holder agrees that the Company is entitled to seek and obtain an

injunction or specific performance to enforce the Holder's obligations under clause

3 without proof of actual damage and without prejudice to any of its other rights or

remedies.


Gilbert + Tobin


3462-6486-2742 v1 page | 6


9 Amendment

This deed can only be amended or replaced by another deed executed by the parties.

10 Termination

This deed terminates automatically if:

12 Capacity

If the Holder has entered into this deed as a trustee:

(a) notwithstanding any other provision of this deed (including any provision expressed

to prevail over this clause 12), but subject to clause 12(c), the Holder enters into

this deed only in its capacity as trustee of the relevant trust and in no other

capacity. A liability arising under or in connection with this deed can be enforced

Holder will exercise its rights of indemnification in order to satisfy its obligations

under this deed;

(b) subject to clause 12(c), a party to this deed may not sue the Holder in any capacity

other than as trustee in respect of the relevant trust, including seeking the

relevant trust), a liquidator, administrator or any similar person; and

(c) the provisions of this clause 12 will not apply to any obligation or liability of the

Holder to the extent that it is not satisfied because under the relevant trust deed or

by operation of law, there is a reduction in the extent to which the Holder is entitled

to exercise its right of indemnification out of the assets of the relevant trust, or the

right does not exist at all, as a result of the Holder's fraud, negligence, improper

performance of duties or breach of trust.

(e) The limitations contained in clauses 4.2(a) to 4.2(c) do not apply to the extent that

such limitations or rights of indemnity are or become unavailable as a result of the

operation of law, or as a result of any fraud, negligence or breach of trust by the

Trustee.

(f) The Trustee warrants and represents to SaleCo and the Company that:

(i) it has a full right of indemnity against the assets of the relevant trust and

undertakes that it will notify SaleCo and the Company as soon as reasonably

practicable on such right being reduced, qualified or limited in any way;

(ii) it has not done or omitted to do, and undertakes that it will not, during the

term of this Deed Poll, do or omit to do, anything which has or would limit,

Dealing arises solely as a result of:

(i) the acceptance of a bona fide third party full or partial takeover offer made

under the Takeovers Code in relation to those Escrow Shares. For clarity, if

of any of the Escrow Shares to the offeror under that offer; or

Gilbert + Tobin


3462-6486-2742 v1 page | 3


provided, in each case, that if for any reason any or all Escrow Shares are not

transferred or cancelled in accordance with such a takeover offer or scheme of

arrangement (including because the takeover offer does not become

unconditional), then the Holder agrees that the restrictions applying to the Escrow

Shares under this deed will continue to apply and without limiting the foregoing, the

Holding Lock will be reapplied to all Escrow Shares not so transferred or cancelled.

(b) During the Escrow Period, the Holder may Deal in any of its Escrow Shares if the

Dealing arises solely as a result of:

(i) the Holder transferring legal title to any of the Escrow Shares directly to the

beneficial owner of those shares, provided that such beneficial owner must

enter into (or is already a party to) a voluntary escrow deed with the

Company in relation to the Escrow Shares transferred on the same terms as

this deed for the remainder of the Escrow Period; or

(ii) the Holder having entered into this deed in the capacity as a trustee of a

trust and transferring all of the Escrow Shares to any new or replacement

trustee of the relevant trust, provided that the new or replacement trustee

enters in a voluntary escrow deed with the Company in relation to the

Escrow Shares transferred on the same terms as this deed for the remainder

of the Escrow Period.

competent jurisdiction).

5.2 Notice

If the Holder becomes aware:

(a) that a Dealing in any Escrow Shares has occurred, or is likely to occur, during the

Escrow Period; or

(b) of any matter which is likely to give rise to a Dealing in any Escrow Shares during

the Escrow Period,

(ii) the Holder has the right to be fully indemnified out of the assets of the Trust

in respect of any liability arising under, or in connection with, this deed and

the right has not been modified, released or diminished in any way. The

assets of the Trust are sufficient to satisfy that right in full and the Holder has

not released or disposed of its equitable lien over that trust; and

(iii) the Trust has not been terminated and there is no effective proposal or

requirement to wind up, deregister, terminate, reconstitute or resettle the

clause 3 and the Holder agrees that the Company is entitled to seek and obtain an

injunction or specific performance to enforce the Holder's obligations under clause

3 without proof of actual damage and without prejudice to any of its other rights or

remedies.

12 Capacity

If the Holder has entered into this deed as a trustee:

(a) notwithstanding any other provision of this deed (including any provision expressed

to prevail over this clause 12), but subject to clause 12(c), the Holder enters into

this deed only in its capacity as trustee of the relevant trust and in no other

under this deed;

(b) subject to clause 12(c), a party to this deed may not sue the Holder in any capacity

relevant trust), a liquidator, administrator or any similar person; and

(c) the provisions of this clause 12 will not apply to any obligation or liability of the

Holder to the extent that it is not satisfied because under the relevant trust deed or

by operation of law, there is a reduction in the extent to which the Holder is entitled

to exercise its right of indemnification out of the assets of the relevant trust, or the

right does not exist at all, as a result of the Holder's fraud, negligence, improper

performance of duties or breach of trust.

this Deed Poll has authority to act on behalf of a Trustee in a way which exposes

that Trustee to any personal liability.

(including, without limitation, incur any liability) unless that Trustee’s liability is

limited in the same manner as set out in paragraphs (a) to (c) of this clause 4.2.

(e) The limitations contained in clauses 4.2(a) to 4.2(c) do not apply to the extent that

such limitations or rights of indemnity are or become unavailable as a result of the

operation of law, or as a result of any fraud, negligence or breach of trust by the

Trustee.

(f) The Trustee warrants and represents to SaleCo and the Company that:

(i) it has a full right of indemnity against the assets of the relevant trust and

undertakes that it will notify SaleCo and the Company as soon as reasonably

practicable on such right being reduced, qualified or limited in any way;

(ii) it has not done or omitted to do, and undertakes that it will not, during the

term of this Deed Poll, do or omit to do, anything which has or would limit,

affect, amend or in any manner whatsoever restrict its rights of indemnity

against the assets of the relevant trust.

Subject to clause 4.2 (Application of Holding Lock), the Holder agrees to the

5 Exceptions

5.1 Dealing

(a) During the Escrow Period, the Holder may Deal in any of its Escrow Shares if the

Dealing arises solely as a result of:

(i) the acceptance of a bona fide third party full or partial takeover offer made

under the Takeovers Code in relation to those Escrow Shares. For clarity, if

a full or partial takeover offer is made or proposed to be made during the

Escrow Period, directly or indirectly by a person who is not the Holder or an

Affiliate of them, then the Holder may sell, or agree, or offer to sell all or part

of any of the Escrow Shares to the offeror under that offer; or

a scheme of arrangement under Part 15 of the Companies Act, provided that

all such necessary court and shareholder approvals,


Gilbert + Tobin


3462-6486-2742 v1 page | 3


provided, in each case, that if for any reason any or all Escrow Shares are not

transferred or cancelled in accordance with such a takeover offer or scheme of

arrangement (including because the takeover offer does not become

unconditional), then the Holder agrees that the restrictions applying to the Escrow

Shares under this deed will continue to apply and without limiting the foregoing, the

Holding Lock will be reapplied to all Escrow Shares not so transferred or cancelled.

(b) During the Escrow Period, the Holder may Deal in any of its Escrow Shares if the

Dealing arises solely as a result of:

(i) the Holder transferring legal title to any of the Escrow Shares directly to the

beneficial owner of those shares, provided that such beneficial owner must

enter into (or is already a party to) a voluntary escrow deed with the

Company in relation to the Escrow Shares transferred on the same terms as

this deed for the remainder of the Escrow Period; or

(ii) the Holder having entered into this deed in the capacity as a trustee of a

trust and transferring all of the Escrow Shares to any new or replacement

trustee of the relevant trust, provided that the new or replacement trustee

enters in a voluntary escrow deed with the Company in relation to the

Escrow Shares transferred on the same terms as this deed for the remainder

of the Escrow Period.

(c) During the Escrow Period, the Holder may Deal in any of its Escrow Shares to the

extent the Dealing is required by applicable law (including an order of a court of

competent jurisdiction).

5.2 Notice

If the Holder becomes aware:

(a) that a Dealing in any Escrow Shares has occurred, or is likely to occur, during the

Escrow Period; or

(b) of any matter which is likely to give rise to a Dealing in any Escrow Shares during

the Escrow Period,

it must notify the Company as soon as practicable after becoming aware of the Dealing or

the matters likely to give rise to the Dealing, providing full details.

The warranties and representations in this clause 6 survive termination of this deed.

7 Permitted dealings with the Escrow Shares

Except as expressly provided for in clause 3, nothing in this deed restricts the Holder from

dealing with the Escrow Shares or exercising rights attaching to, or afforded to the holder

of the Escrow Shares, including (without limitation) by:

(a) exercising any voting rights attaching to Escrow Shares;

(b) receiving or being entitled to any dividend, return of capital or other distribution

attaching to Escrow Shares; and

8 Consequences of breach

(a) If it appears to the Company that the Holder may breach this deed, the Company

may, and has undertaken to the joint lead managers of the Initial Public Offering

that it will, take any steps necessary to prevent the breach, or to enforce the deed

as soon as it becomes aware of the potential breach.

(i) the Company may take any steps that it considers necessary to enforce this

deed and/or rectify the breach; and

sale, assignment, transfer or conversion of any of the Escrow Shares. This is

9 Amendment

This deed can only be amended or replaced by another deed executed by the parties.

10 Termination

This deed terminates automatically if:

(a) the Company withdraws the Initial Public Offer;

(b) Official Quotation of the Ordinary Shares has not been achieved by 31 December

2021; or

(c) otherwise when the Holding Lock is released in full in respect of all Escrow Shares.

11 Company to complete Schedule 2

Each party authorises the Company (or any person delegated such authority in writing by

the Company) to insert in Schedule 2, after execution of this deed by each party:

(a) the particulars of Escrow Shares in item 4 of Schedule 2; and

(b) any other details necessary to complete Schedule 2.

12 Capacity

If the Holder has entered into this deed as a trustee:

(a) notwithstanding any other provision of this deed (including any provision expressed

to prevail over this clause 12), but subject to clause 12(c), the Holder enters into

this deed only in its capacity as trustee of the relevant trust and in no other

capacity. A liability arising under or in connection with this deed can be enforced

against the Holder only to the extent which it can be satisfied out of the property of

the relevant trust for which the Holder is actually indemnified for the liability. The

Holder will exercise its rights of indemnification in order to satisfy its obligations

under this deed;

(b) subject to clause 12(c), a party to this deed may not sue the Holder in any capacity

other than as trustee in respect of the relevant trust, including seeking the

appointment to the Holder of a receiver (except in relation to property of the

relevant trust), a liquidator, administrator or any similar person; and

(c) the provisions of this clause 12 will not apply to any obligation or liability of the

Holder to the extent that it is not satisfied because under the relevant trust deed or

by operation of law, there is a reduction in the extent to which the Holder is entitled

to exercise its right of indemnification out of the assets of the relevant trust, or the

right does not exist at all, as a result of the Holder's fraud, negligence, improper

performance of duties or breach of trust.
