In connection with the automatic conversion of this SAFE into SAFE Shares, each Investor will, at the request of the Company in its sole discretion, execute and deliver to the Company all transaction documents related to the Qualified Equity Financing; provided, that such documents (i) are the same documents to be entered into with the purchasers in the Qualified Equity Financing, with appropriate variations for the SAFE Shares, as applicable, and (ii) have customary exceptions to any drag-along applicable to the Investor, including (without limitation) limited representations, warranties, liability and indemnification obligations for the Investor.
1.2 Optional Conversion in a Non-Qualified Financing. If there is an Equity Financing by the Company which does not qualify as a Qualified Equity Financing (“Non-Qualified Financing”), the outstanding Purchase Amount may be converted, at the written request of the Investor made at Investor’s sole discretion within 30 days from the receipt of a written notice from the Company setting forth the terms and conditions of such Non-Qualified Financing, into Safe Shares equal to the Purchase Amount divided by the Discount Price, provided, that such documents are the same documents to be entered into with the investor of the Non-Qualified Financing, with appropriate variations for the SAFE Shares if applicable as aforementioned. Each Investor will, at the request of the Company in its sole discretion, execute and deliver to the Company all transaction documents related to the Non-Qualified Financing; provided, that such documents are the same documents to be entered into with the purchasers in the Non-Qualified Financing, with appropriate variations for the SAFE Shares, as applicable.
1.3 Liquidity Event. If a Liquidity Event is consummated before the expiration or termination of this SAFE, this SAFE will automatically receive immediately prior to, or concurrent with, the consummation of such Liquidity Event, from the Company, a number of Ordinary Shares, equal to the Purchase Amount divided by the Liquidity Price. Each Investor will, at the request of the Company, in its sole discretion, execute and deliver to the Company all documents related to the Liquidity Event, including lock-up undertakings, as may be applicable, provided that such documents are the same documents to be entered into with the other shareholders of the Company with appropriate variations for the SAFE Shares as applicable.

Each Investor will, at the request of the Company and\or the underwriter, execute and deliver to the Company all documents related to the Initial Public Offering, as may be applicable, provided that such documents are the same documents to be entered into with the other shareholders of the Company with appropriate variations for the SAFE Shares as applicable.
1.5 Mandatory Conversion upon Drop Date. If the Purchase Amount has not been converted prior to July 31, 2023 (the “Drop Date”), then on such Drop Date, this SAFE shall be automatically converted into such number of the most senior class of Equity Shares of the Company then outstanding, equal to, the Purchase Amount, divided by the lowest price per share actually paid to the Company for such most senior class of Equity Shares of the Company then outstanding in an investment transaction by a third party on or after 1.1.2022, discounted by the Discount Rate, rounded up to the nearest whole number, and if such investment transaction shall not have occurred, then this SAFE shall be automatically converted into such number of the most senior class of Equity Shares of the Company then outstanding, equal to, the Purchase Amount, divided by $3.313 AUD (subject to any customary adjustments for share splits and consolidations). The closing of such mandatory conversion for the Investor shall occur within 14 days of the Drop Date.
1.6 Dissolution Event. If there is a Dissolution Event before this instrument expires or terminates, following payment of all senior debt, the Company will pay an amount equal to the Purchase Amount, immediately prior to, or concurrent with, the consummation of the Dissolution Event. The Investor’s right to receive its Purchase Amount is (i) senior and in preference to any Distribution of any of the assets of the Company to holders of outstanding Share Capital by reason of their ownership thereof and (ii) on par with payments for other SAFEs. If the applicable Proceeds or assets of the Company legally available for distribution to the Investor herein or under the Additional SAFEs (the “Dissolving Investors”), as determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors, are insufficient to permit the payment to the Dissolving Investors of their respective Purchase Amounts, then the entire assets of the Company legally available for distribution will be distributed with equal priority and pro rata among the Dissolving Investors in proportion to the Purchase Amounts they would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 1.6.
