(a)

If there is an event or occurrence that would, does, or will prevent any of the Conditions Precedent being satisfied (including, for the avoidance of doubt, if Carbon Revolution Shareholders do not agree to the Scheme at the Scheme Meeting by the requisite majorities), or if any of the Conditions Precedent will not otherwise be satisfied, by the earlier of:

the relevant occurrence or event, the failure of the Condition Precedent to be satisfied, or the failure of the Scheme to become Effective, arises out of a breach of clauses 3.2 or 3.5 by that party; or

the relevant Condition Precedent is stated in clause 3.3 to be for the sole benefit of the other party.
