 SECTION 2.02. No Conflict. (a) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such
Stockholder does not, and the performance of this Agreement by such Stockholder shall not, (i) conflict with or violate any federal, state or local law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree applicable to such

 (b) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Stockholder does not, and the

 ARTICLE III  
 COVENANTS 
 SECTION 3.01. No Disposition or Encumbrance
of Stock. Each Stockholder hereby covenants and agrees that, until the Stockholder Approval has been obtained, except as contemplated by this Agreement, such Stockholder shall not offer or agree to sell, transfer, tender, assign, hypothecate or

invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the
invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the
parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical
realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which
comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s). 
 SECTION 4.06.
Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of

directly or indirectly from or in connection with this Agreement shall be litigated only in the Supreme Court of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York located in New York County, New York.
The parties consent to the jurisdiction and venue of the foregoing courts and consent that any process or notice of motion or other application to any of said courts or a judge thereof may be served inside or outside the State of New York or the
Southern District of New York by registered mail, return receipt requested, directed to the party being served at its address set forth on the signature ages to this Agreement (and service so made shall be deemed complete three (3) days after
the same has been posted as aforesaid) or by personal service or in such other manner as may be permissible under the rules of said courts. Each of the Company and each Stockholder irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any
objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that suit, action, or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each Stockholder hereby
appoints Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, with offices at 101 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10178, as its agent for service of process in the United States. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A
JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 Form of Lock-Up Agreement 

May 2, 2011 

Marshall Edwards, Inc. 
 11975 El Camino Real 
 Suite 101 

San Diego, CA 92130 
  

	 	Re:	 Marshall Edwards, Inc. – Lock-Up Agreement 

 Dear Sirs: 
 This Lock-Up Agreement is being delivered to you in
connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of May 2, 2011 by and among Marshall Edwards, Inc. (the “Company”) and the investors party thereto (the
“Buyers”), with respect to the issuance of (i) common stock, par value $0.00000002 per share (the “Common Stock”) and (ii) warrants (the “Warrants”) which Warrants will be exercisable to
purchase Common Stock in accordance with their terms. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement. 

In order to induce the Buyers to enter into the Purchase Agreement, the undersigned agrees that, commencing on the date
hereof and ending on [the date that is the earlier of (i) the date ninety (90) days after the date when all Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) and Series C Warrant Shares (x) have been registered
pursuant to a Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) that is available for the resale of all such Registrable Securities and Series C Warrant Shares or (y) can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any
restrictions or limitations and (ii) the date thirteen (13) months after the Closing Date]1 (the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned will not, and will cause all affiliates (as defined in Rule 144) of the undersigned or any person in privity with the undersigned or any affiliate
of the undersigned not to, (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder with respect to any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents owned directly by the undersigned (including holding as a custodian) or with respect to which the
undersigned has beneficial ownership within the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively, the “Undersigned’s Shares”), or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to
another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any 
  

	1 	 For Lock-Up Agreement to be signed by Novogen Limited, replace with “December 24, 2011”. 

 
of the Undersigned’s Shares, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of shares of Common Stock or other securities, in cash
or otherwise, (iii) make any demand for or exercise any right or cause to be filed a registration statement, including any amendments thereto, with respect to the registration of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents or
(iv)2 publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing. 

The foregoing restriction is expressly agreed to preclude the undersigned, and any affiliate of the undersigned and any
person in privity with the undersigned or any affiliate of the undersigned, from engaging in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of the
Undersigned’s Shares even if the Undersigned’s Shares would be disposed of by someone other than the undersigned. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include, without limitation, any short sale or any purchase, sale or
grant of any right (including, without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to any of the Undersigned’s Shares or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from the
Undersigned’s Shares. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may transfer the Undersigned’s
Shares as a bona fide gift or gifts, provided that the donee or donees thereof agree to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein. The undersigned now has, and, except as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence, for
the duration of this Lock-Up Agreement will have, good and marketable title to the Undersigned’s Shares, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, and claims whatsoever. The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer
instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar (the “Transfer Agent”) against the transfer of the Undersigned’s Shares except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions. 

In order to enforce this covenant, the Company shall impose irrevocable stop-transfer instructions preventing the
Transfer Agent from effecting any actions in violation of this Lock-Up Agreement. 
 The undersigned
acknowledges that the execution, delivery and performance of this Lock-Up Agreement is a material inducement to each Buyer to complete the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and that the Company shall be entitled to specific
performance of the undersigned’s obligations hereunder. The undersigned hereby represents that the undersigned has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Lock-Up Agreement, that the undersigned has received adequate
consideration therefor and that the undersigned will indirectly benefit from the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. 
 The undersigned understands and agrees that this Lock-Up Agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns. 

This Lock-Up Agreement may be executed in two counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but both of which
shall be considered one and the same instrument. 
  

	2 	 For Lock-Up Agreement to be signed by Novogen Limited, add: “other than in any filing required to be made with the United States or Australian
regulatory authorities in connection with any applicable shareholder approval requirements in order to effect a distribution of Common Stock by the Undersigned to its shareholders’”. 

  
 2 

 This Lock-Up Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflicting provision or rule (whether of the State of New York, or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New
York to be applied. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal laws of the State of New York will control the interpretation and construction of this Lock-Up Agreement, even if under such jurisdiction’s choice of law or conflict of law
analysis, the substantive law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily apply.
