		FSC means the Forest Stewardship Council.

		Pricing Model means the method for calculating the Price for each grade of the Products and Transition Grades in clauses 5.2 and 5.3. Examples of the Pricing Model are set out in Appendix 3 and Appendix 4 to demonstrate the operation of the Pricing Model in the calculation of the Price for the Products and the Transition Grades in the first Quarter of 2010.

		Products means BKP, BEK and UKP.

		Quarter means the three month periods running January to March, April to June, July to September and October to December.

		Term has the meaning given to it in clause 2.

		Transition Grades means transition and off grades as follows:

	(a)		in relation to BEK, grade E70 (Bleached Hardwood Transition Kraft Pulp); and

		A reference to United States dollars, dollars, US$, USD or $ is a reference to the lawful currency of the United States.

2.		TERM

		This Agreement will commence on the Commencement Date and will continue until terminated earlier in accordance with clause 8 or clause 13.

3.		PURCHASE AND SUPPLY OF PRODUCTS

3.1.		Exclusive Supply

		WML agrees to purchase all of its requirements for the Products from CHH, and subject to clause 3.3, CHH agrees to supply, to the extent that CHH is able, all of WML’s requirements for the Products in accordance with the Specifications and the terms of this Agreement. The parties agree to take all reasonable steps to address any issues in a co-operative manner.

3.2.		Non-compliance with Specifications

		If CHH supplies Product to WML which does not comply with the Specifications, then WML shall be entitled to reject that Product on prompt notice to CHH. If WML rejects Product for non-compliance with the Specifications, CHH shall collect the Product and shall meet all reasonable freight costs for any such collection. CHH shall not render an invoice for such rejected Product. CHH shall, within 7 calendar days of receiving notice of such rejected Product, supply replacement Product complying with the Specifications. If (to the extent that any Products are rejected) CHH is not able to supply WML with replacement Products within 7 days, then WML may source such products from a third party, but only to the extent that the Products could not be replaced by CHH.

3.3.		Phasing out of BEK

		The parties acknowledge that CHH’s wood source for BEK is reducing and will, sometime around the end of 2011, cease altogether. CHH’s obligation to supply BEK is limited by the amount of eucalyptus wood which CHH can reasonably obtain from its current source and which is not already being used by CHH in its own operations. The parties intend that BEK will no longer be supplied under this Agreement once CHH’s current eucalyptus source ceases and CHH will not be obliged to seek an alternate source for BEK. To the extent that CHH is not able to supply WML with BEK, then WML may source such BEK from a third party, but only to the extent that the BEK could not be supplied by CHH. If requested by WML, the parties will consider (but without any obligation) joint purchasing initiatives to procure BEK from third party suppliers to meet both CHH and WML’s BEK requirements.

3.4.		UKP grade priority

		In relation to UKP supply, WML prefers to take supply of the various UKP grades in the following order of priority: Papergrade: U25, U40 and Fibre Cement Grade: K50, K30, K20, then K25. CHH will use its reasonable endeavours to supply UKP grades in line with WML’s priority preferences.

3.5.		Transition Grades

		CHH produces a limited amount of the Transition Grades at its Tasman Mill. To the extent that CHH has Transition Grades available for sale, CHH will offer such Transition Grades to WML. WML may elect to take such Transition Grades in substitution for the Products. Where CHH supplies Transition Grades in substitution for Products in accordance with this clause, the Transition Grades will be deemed to be Products for the purposes of this Agreement.

3.6.		FSC certification

(a)

CHH will supply WML with Products certified under the chain of custody standard established by the FSC (FSC Certified) to the extent that CHH is reasonably able to procure Products which are FSC Certified for supply under this Agreement.

	(b)		Unless WML specifically requests Products that are FSC Certified as “FSC Mixed Sources”, the FSC Certified Products supplied to WML under clause 3.6(a) will be FSC Certified as “FSC Controlled Wood”.

	(c)		In the event that WML requests the supply of Products that are FSC Certified as “FSC Mixed Sources”:

	(i)		CHH will supply WML with Products which are FSC Certified as “FSC Mixed Sources” to the extent that CHH is reasonably able to procure Products in response to such request which are FSC Certified as “FSC Mixed Sources” for supply under this Agreement; and

	(ii)		either party may give notice to the other party that it wishes to review the Price to those specific Products, such Price to reflect the price that is available in the market for equivalent volume of such Products which are FSC Certified as “FSC Mixed Sources” at that time. If the parties cannot agree on a Price for the Products certified as “FSC Mixed Sources” within 10 days of the notice referred to in this clause, the matter will be referred to an independent expert for determination in accordance with clauses 5.6 and 5.7.

(d)

In the event that:

	(i)		FSC ceases to exist or set industry standards of the nature referred to in this clause; or

	(ii)		CHH or a significant portion of industry participants adopt an alternative certification to the chain of custody standard established by the FSC,

the parties will enter into discussions as to the adoption of a suitable replacement certification.

3.7.		On-sales prohibited

		WML must not on-sell any of the Products purchased under this Agreement without the prior written consent of CHH.

3.8.		Service Levels

	(a)		Specifications: All Products supplied by CHH under this Agreement must meet the Specifications.

	(b)		Quarterly reviews: Both parties agree to formally meet quarterly to review service levels in relation to the Specifications and other operational matters pertaining to this Agreement. CHH will monitor and report on CHH’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement against the Specifications at the quarterly reviews.

	(c)		Failure to meet Specifications: Where CHH does not meet a Specification in accordance with Appendix 1, the parties’ respective nominated representatives will promptly meet to discuss the reasons why the Specification was not met. The representatives must then use their reasonable endeavours to develop and agree within 7 days a plan to rectify the error and identify what can be done by CHH and WML to ensure the Specification is met in the future.

4.		ORDERS

4.1.		Forecasts

		WML will provide CHH with an annual month-by-month forecast of WML’s requirements for Products no later than 30 September of each year of the Term. WML will update that forecast on a monthly basis or as soon as practically possible where a significant change to the forecast is reasonably anticipated. The monthly updates to the forecast should include details of grade mix for the following 3 months.

4.2.		Consignment Stock

		CHH will provide the Products on a consignment basis to WML on the following terms:

	(a)		CHH will use reasonable endeavours to ensure that WML at all times holds a minimum of 10 days and a maximum of 21 days worth of Products in the volumes and grades specified in the most recent forecast provided under clause 4.1;

	(b)		WML will provide CHH with a consumption and inventory report in relation to the Products on a weekly basis;

	(c)		CHH retains the right to conduct regular stock takes and audits as may be required;

	(d)		all risks for loss or damage associated with the Products held on site by WML will be carried by WML and WML will be responsible for providing and maintaining suitable storage facilities so as to ensure the integrity of the Products; and

	(e)		any Products held by WML at the termination of this Agreement will be purchased by WML at the then current Price.

4.3.		Review of stock day levels

		The parties will review minimum and maximum number of days worth of Products which CHH will use reasonable endeavours to ensure that WML holds under clause 4.2(a) within the first three months of the Term and every year thereafter to ensure that the minimum and maximum number of days are appropriate and practical for both parties.

5.		PRICE AND DELIVERY

5.1.		Price

		WML will pay CHH the price, expressed in USD per air dry (‘air dry’ being 90% absolutely dry pulp) metric tonne, (Price) for the Products supplied by CHH and used by WML. The initial Prices, as calculated in Appendix 3 and Appendix 4 in accordance with the Pricing Model, is:

	(a)		BEK—USD709.00;

	(b)		BKP — USD734.00;

	(c)		UKP — USD620.00;

	(d)		BKP Transition Grade Price — USD670.58; and

	(e)		BEK Transition Grade Price — USD690.99.

5.2.		Product Pricing Model

		The Price for the Products shall be adjusted:

	(a)		until 31 December 2010: at the beginning of each Quarter (to apply to that Quarter); and

	(b)		from 1 January 2011: at the end of each month (to apply to the following month), with the Price for the Products to be adjusted on 31 December 2010 for application on 1 January 2011,

using the following Pricing Model:

	(c)		the BKP Price shall be equal to the BKP Base Price less 1.5% (being a volume discount) plus the nominal freight costs from the Port of Tauranga to WML (currently USD8.00 per air dry metric tonne but subject to change);

	(d)		the BEK Price shall be equal to the BEK Base Price less 4.5% (being a quality discount), less 3% (being a volume discount) plus the nominal freight costs from the Port of Tauranga to WML (currently USD8.00 per air dry metric tonne but subject to change); and

	(e)		the UKP Price shall be equal to the UKP Base Price less USD8.00 per air dry metric tonne (being a volume discount) plus freight costs to WML from CHH’s Tasman Mill (currently USD8.00 per air dry metric tonne but subject to change). Where CHH must supply K25 (Prime Grade Fibre Cement Pulp) due to WML ordering Products in excess of its forecasted requirements, the price for any such K25 (Prime Grade Fibre Cement Pulp) will be as determined under this clause, plus an additional USD100.00 per air dry metric tonne of K25 (Prime Grade Fibre Cement Pulp) supplied. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that CHH must supply K25 (Prime Grade Fibre Cement Pulp) to WML in order to supply volumes of Products consistent with WML’s forecasted requirements, no surcharge to the price of K25 (Prime Grade Fibre Cement Pulp) will be applied under this clause.

		At CHH’s option, CHH can supply BKP from either its Kinleifh Mill or from its Tasman Mill. Where CHH supplies BKP from its Kinleith Mill, any additional freight costs will be to CHH’s account.

5.3.		Transition Grade Pricing Model

		Where Transition Grades are supplied by CHH in accordance with clause 3.5, the Price for the Transition Grades shall be adjusted:

	(a)		until 31 December 2010: at the beginning of each Quarter (to apply to that Quarter); and

	(b)		from 1 January 2011: at the end of each month (to apply to the following month), with the Price for the Products to be adjusted on 31 December 2010 for application on 1 January 2011,

using the following Pricing Model:

	(c)		the BKP Transition Grade Price for M85 and E10 shall be equal to the BKP Base Price less USD10.00 per air dry metric tonne (being a qualify discount), less international ocean freight cost to Taiwan (currently USD54.00 per air dry metric tonne but subject to constant change), less 1.5% of FAS (as defined in Incoterms 2000) value (being commission charges) plus freight costs to WML from CHH’s Tasman Mill (currently USD8.00 per air dry metric tonne but subject to change); and

	(d)		the BEK Transition Grade Price for E70 shall be equal to the BEK Base Price less USD10.00 (being a quality discount), less international ocean freight cost to Taiwan (currently USD54.00 per air dry metric tonne but subject to constant change), less 1.5% of FAS value (being commission charges) plus

freight costs to WML from CHH’s Tasman Mill (currently USD8.00 per air dry metric tonne but subject to change).

5.4.

Review of Pricing Model

(a)

Either party may notify the other three months prior to the end of each 12 month period from the Commencement Date that the notifying party requires a review of the Pricing Model, such review to determine whether the existing Pricing Model still reflects the agreed underlying pricing principle, being that the Price for:

	(i)		the Products should reflect the price then available to WML in the open market to purchase the volumes supplied under this Agreement if this Agreement did not exist; and

	(ii)		the Transition Grades should reflect the price that CHH could achieve in the open market to sell the volumes supplied under this Agreement offshore if this Agreement did not exist, less any export costs,

(together being the Pricing Principle).

	(b)		Upon receipt of notice under clause 5.4(a), the parties will consult in good faith to determine if the Pricing Model still reflects the Pricing Principle. If the parties determine that the Pricing Model no longer reflects the Pricing Principle, the parties will negotiate in good faith to determine a new pricing methodology model which does reflect the Pricing Principle. Once agreed, such new pricing model methodology will be deemed to be the Pricing Model.

	(c)		Where a party has given notice under clause 5.4(a), the Price may not be reviewed until such time as the Pricing Model is agreed.

5.5.		Change to Index

		In the event that:

	(a)		RISI ceases to publish an index applied to determine the BEK Base Price or BKP Base Price; or

	(b)		there is any material change to the timing or methodology for reporting or calculating any such index,

the parties will enter into discussions as to the adoption of a suitable replacement publication or index (which may or may not be published by RISI) which approximates most closely the purpose and composition of the then current indexes applied to determine the BEK Base Price or the BKP Base Price, provided that any such replacement index must reflect gross prices.

5.6.		Pricing Disputes

		If the parties are unable to agree the new Price, the Pricing Model or any matter referred to in clause 5.5 within 28 days of the date on which either is reviewed (for whatever reason), the matter will be referred to an independent expert for determination in accordance with clause 5.7 (Independent Expert). The parties will provide the Independent Expert with such information as may be reasonably requested. The Independent Expert must determine the new Price, the Pricing Model or the replacement publication or index, as the case may be, within 14 days following appointment. The determination of the Independent Expert will be final and binding on the parties, save for manifest error, and the new Price, the Pricing Model or the replacement publication or index will apply as follows:

	(a)		in the case of the new Price, the new Price will be backdated to the commencement of the relevant Quarter period (if prior to 1 January 2011) or month (from 1 January 2011);

	(b)		in the case of the Pricing Model, the new Pricing Model will apply from the commencement of the relevant 12 month period;

	(c)		in the case of the Price for any Products to be supplied which are FSC Certified as “FSC Mixed Sources”, the Price will apply to all such Products supplied as a result of the request which the dispute relates to; and

	(d)		in the case of a matter referred to in clause 5.5, the replacement publication or index will apply from the Quarter (if prior to 1 January 2011) or month (from 1 January 2011) in which the event that triggered clause 5.5 occurred.

On resolution of any dispute related to Price, the Pricing Model or any matter referred to in clause 5.5, the parties will pay or credit, as appropriate, to account for any backdated changes to the Price, the Pricing Model or the relevant publication or index.

5.7.		Independent Expert

		The Independent Expert will be appointed in accordance with the following provisions:

(a)

the Independent Expert will be appointed by both parties or, where the parties cannot agree within 14 days, appointed by:

	(i)		in relation to disputes regarding pricing, the chairperson of the Auckland branch of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of New Zealand; and

	(ii)		in relation to all other disputes, the President of the New Zealand Law Society;

	(b)		the Independent Expert will act as an expert and not as an arbitrator and the law relating to arbitration will not apply to the Independent Expert’s determination; and

	(c)		the costs and expenses of the Independent Expert will be shared by the parties equally.

5.8.		Delivery method and time

		The Products will be delivered DDP (Incoterms 2000) to WML’s premises in Whakatane. The Products will be delivered to WML during normal working hours unless otherwise agreed, and in accordance with normal industry delivery

practices. For the avoidance of doubt, the freight component to the Price is not inconsistent with CHH’s obligation to deliver the Products on a DDP basis.

6.		PAYMENT TERMS

6.1.		Supply on General Terms of Sale

		The General Terms of Sale attached as Appendix 2 will apply to the supply of the Products by CHH. To the extent that there is any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the General Terms of Sale, the terms of this Agreement will apply.

6.2.		Payment by WML

		CHH will raise an invoice monthly at the start of each month for the amount of the Products used by WML in the previous month as either reported by WML or in accordance with stock takes or audit conducted by CHH. WML must pay for all Products ordered, and invoiced by CHH no later than the last day of the month in which the tax invoice (as defined in the Goods and Services Tax Act 1985) was issued.

		The parties agree that all pricing and payments will be made in US dollars (USD).

7.		DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS

7.1.		Procedure

		If any dispute arises between the parties under or in connection with this Agreement (other than a pricing dispute under clause 5.6):

	(a)		the dispute must initially be referred to the parties’ respective nominated representatives who are responsible for the management of this Agreement;

	(b)		the representatives must then use their reasonable endeavours to resolve the dispute; and

	(c)		if the parties’ representatives are unable to resolve the dispute within 30 days of the referral, or such other period as is agreed in writing, the dispute must be referred to the parties’ respective Chief Executives who will use their reasonable endeavours to resolve the dispute within 10 days.

7.2.		No resolution

		If the dispute cannot be resolved by the parties’ respective Chief Executives within the time period specified in clause 7.1(c), either party may require the dispute to be referred to an Independent Expert. The Independent Expert’s decision will be final and binding on the parties, save for manifest error.

7.3.		Confidentiality

		The parties will hold confidential, unless otherwise required by law or at the direction of a court of competent jurisdiction, all information relating to the subject matter of the dispute as disclosed during or for the purposes of dispute resolution under this clause 7.

8.		TERMINATION

8.1.		Termination without cause

		by giving a minimum of 12 months written notice of termination to the other party.

	(a)		that other party commits any material breach of this Agreement that is not capable of being remedied;

	(b)		where there is a change in direct or indirect control of a party (but, for the avoidance of doubt, if a party is controlled directly or indirectly by Mr Graeme Richard Hart, there will not be a change in control of that party arising from any transfer or other transaction if, following that transfer or transaction, that party continues to be controlled directly or indirectly by Mr. Graeme Richard Hart);

	(c)		a sale of the majority of the assets comprising the Whakatane Mill to a third party who is not controlled directly or indirectly by Mr. Graeme Richard Hart; or
