(i) that Lender has failed to provide cash collateral to the Issuing Bank in accordance with clause 8.3 (Cash collateral by Non-Acceptable L/C Lender and Borrower's option to provide cash cover); and

(ii) the Borrower of that proposed Letter of Credit has not exercised its right to provide cash cover to the Issuing Bank in accordance with paragraph 8.3(g) of clause 8.3 (Cash collateral by Non-Acceptable L/C Lender and Borrower's option to provide cash cover),

the Issuing Bank may reduce the amount of that Letter of Credit by an amount equal to the amount of the participation of that Non-Acceptable L/C Lender in respect of that Letter of Credit and that Non-Acceptable L/C Lender shall be deemed not to have any participation (or obligation to indemnify the Issuing Bank) in respect of that Letter of Credit for the purposes of the Finance Documents.

(b) The Issuing Bank shall notify the Agent and the Company of each reduction made pursuant to this clause 7.6.

(c) This clause 7.6 shall not affect the participation of each other Lender in that Letter of Credit.

7.7 Renewal of a Letter of Credit

(a) A Borrower may request any Letter of Credit issued on behalf of that Borrower be renewed by delivery to an Issuing Bank of a Renewal Request (with a copy to the Facility Agent) in substantially similar form to a Utilisation Request for a Letter of Credit by not later than 11am on the third Business Day prior to the proposed Utilisation Date.

(b) The Finance Parties shall treat any Renewal Request in the same way as a Utilisation Request for a Letter of Credit except that the conditions set out in clauses 7.3(d) and 7.3(g) (Completion of a Utilisation Request for Letters of Credit) shall not apply.

(c) The terms of each renewed Letter of Credit shall be the same as those of the relevant Letter of Credit immediately prior to its renewal, except that:

(i) its amount may be less than the amount of the Letter of Credit immediately prior to its renewal; and


(ii) its Term shall start on the date which was the Expiry Date of the Letter of Credit immediately prior to its renewal, and shall end on the proposed Expiry Date specified in the Renewal Request.

(d) Subject to clauses 7.7(c) and 7.7(e), if the conditions set out in this agreement have been met, the Issuing Bank shall amend or re-issue any Letter of Credit pursuant to a Renewal Request.

(e) Where a new Letter of Credit is to be issued to replace by way of renewal an existing Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank is not required to issue that new Letter of Credit until the Letter of Credit being replaced has been returned to the Issuing Bank or the Issuing Bank is satisfied either that it will be returned to it or otherwise that no liability can arise under it.

7.8 Notification of the Facility Agent

Each Issuing Bank shall, upon request, provide to the Facility Agent details of all Letters of Credit issued under this agreement including details of the initial face value of each Letter of Credit, the tenor, the Expiry Date, the relevant account party and the beneficiary under that Letter of Credit.

If the amount of any Letter of Credit is wholly or partially reduced or it is repaid or prepaid or it expires prior to its Expiry Date, the relevant Issuing Bank and the relevant Borrower shall promptly notify the Facility Agent of the details upon becoming aware of them.

7.10 Letter of Credit which does not expire before Final Repayment Date

A Letter of Credit must be issued with an Expiry Date. If the Expiry Date of the Letter of Credit is after the Final Repayment Date applicable to Facility C, the Borrower that requested the issue of that Letter of Credit shall repay or prepay the Letter of Credit on the Final Repayment Date applicable to Facility C.

7.11 Lender's participation

If at any time there are two or more Lenders with Commitments in respect of Facility C the following shall apply:

(a) On or after the Utilisation Date for any Letter of Credit under Facility C, any Advances made or to be made under Facility C shall be allocated by the Facility Agent as between Facility C Lenders (including on a non-pro rata basis) so that to the extent feasible, all Facility C Lenders are drawn pro-rata (irrespective of whether a Facility C Lender's Utilisations consist of Advances and/or Letters of Credit) such that the aggregate amount of each Facility C Lender's participation in the Utilisations under Facility C then outstanding bears the same proportion to the aggregate amount of the Utilisations under Facility C then outstanding as its Commitments in respect of Facility C bears to the aggregate of all Commitments in respect of Facility C.

(b) Facility C Lenders agree that any shortfall in the final recovery of any Outstanding Moneys in respect of Facility C (in this clause 7.11 only, the Facility C Shortfall) shall be shared amongst them in the proportion in which each Facility C Lender's Commitment in respect of Facility C bears to the aggregate of all Commitments in respect of Facility C (for each Facility C Lender, and in this clause 7.11 only, its Relevant Proportion).


(c) Where, following the payment of the final distribution to the relevant Facility C Lenders under the Finance Documents, there is a Facility C Shortfall, the Facility Agent shall then determine:

(i) each Facility C Lender's Relevant Proportion of the Facility C Shortfall (for each Facility C Lender, and in this clause 7.11 only, its Equalised Loss Amount); and

(ii) the actual shortfall of the Outstanding Moneys in respect of Facility C that each Facility C Lender has suffered (for each Facility C Lender, and in this clause

7.11 only, its Actual Loss Amount),

and notify each Facility C Lender of such amounts.

(d) Each Facility C Lender agrees that, where its Equalised Loss Amount exceeds its Actual Loss Amount (such excess being, in this clause 7.11 only, its Facility C Excess Amount), it shall pay to the Facility Agent an amount equal to its Facility C Excess Amount within five Business Days.

(e) The Facility Agent shall distribute all money received under paragraph (d) to Facility C Lender(s) whose Equalised Loss Amounts were less than their Actual Loss Amounts as necessary to ensure that, after taking into account the payments and distributions described in paragraph (d) above and this paragraph (e), the actual shortfall of the Outstanding Moneys in respect of Facility C that each Facility C Lender has suffered is equal to its Equalised Loss Amount.

7.12 Appointment of additional Issuing Banks

Any Lender which has agreed to the Company's request to be an Issuing Bank pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall become an Issuing Bank for the purposes of this Agreement upon notifying the Facility Agent and the Company that it has so agreed to be an Issuing Bank and on making that notification that Lender shall become bound by the terms of this Agreement as an Issuing Bank.

(e) If a Borrower has provided cash cover in respect of a Lender's participation in a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall seek reimbursement from that cash cover before making a demand of that Lender under paragraph (b) above. Any recovery made by


an Issuing Bank pursuant to that cash cover will reduce that Lender's liability under paragraph (b) above.

(f) The obligations of any Lender or Borrower under this clause will not be affected by any act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this clause, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this clause (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any other person) including:

(i) any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any Obligor, any beneficiary under a Letter of Credit or any other person;

(i) to the extent that such cash collateral has not been applied in satisfaction of any amount due and payable under this Agreement by that Lender to the Issuing Bank in respect of the relevant Letter(s) of Credit;

(ii) if:

(A) it ceases to be a Non Acceptable L/C Lender; or

(B) its obligations in respect of the relevant Letter(s) of Credit are transferred to a New Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and

(w) Condition subsequent: the condition subsequent set out in clause 5.6 (Condition subsequent) is not satisfied within the time period specified in that clause 5.6.

then without prejudice to any other remedies which the Lenders may have:

(i) the Security Documents shall become immediately enforceable and the Facility Agent may (and will if so directed by the Majority Lenders) instruct the Security Trustee to commence enforcement of any Security Document; and

(ii) the Facility Agent may (and will if so directed by the Majority Lenders) by notice to the Borrowers:

(A) declare all or any of the Facility Amount, any Utilisation, any Ancillary Outstandings or any other indebtedness to be and that Facility Amount, Utilisation, Ancillary Outstandings or other indebtedness will be, due and payable either immediately or upon demand or at such later date as the Facility Agent may specify;

(B) declare that cash cover in respect of each Letter of Credit is immediately due and payable whereupon it shall become immediately due and payable;

(C) exercise or direct the Security Trustee to exercise any or all of its rights, remedies, powers or discretions under the Finance Documents; and/or

(D) cancel each Facility whereupon the Facility Amount shall be reduced to zero.

15.2 Investigations

If the Facility Agent has reasonable grounds to believe that an Event of Default or Potential Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or is reasonably likely to occur, the Facility Agent may, if instructed to do so by the Majority Lenders, instigate such investigations and instruct such reports as it deems necessary including accounting, legal and valuation reports. All costs associated with such investigations and reports will be for the account of the Company and, if required by the Facility Agent, the Company will be the party who formally engages the accountants or other experts.

15.3 Cash cover

Each relevant Issuing Bank shall place any cash cover it receives into an interest bearing account in the name of the relevant Borrower and in respect of which the following conditions must be met:


(a) the account is with the Issuing Bank for which that cash cover is to be provided;

(b) subject to paragraph (b) of clause 8.5 (Regulation and consequences of cash cover provided by Borrower) until no amount is or may be outstanding under that Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may apply such cash cover (including by combination of accounts or set-off) to amounts due and payable to it under this agreement in respect of that Letter of Credit; and

(c) if the Issuing Bank requests it, the Borrower has executed a security document, in form and substance satisfactory to the Issuing Bank with which that account is held, creating a first ranking security interest over that account.

16. Changes in circumstances


16.1 Increased costs

If by reason of:

(a) the introduction of, or any change in, any law, directive or any ruling, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof made after the date of this agreement;

(b) compliance or implementation by any Lender or a Related Body Corporate of a Lender with any law or directive made after the date of this agreement; or

(c) any introduction, change, clarification or publication relating to Basel Ill, CRD IV or CRR to the extent such increased costs were not capable of being calculated with sufficient accuracy prior to the date of this agreement due to a lack of clarity or detail in Basel III, CRD IV, CRR and/or any related information from a banking regulator available on the date of this agreement;

(i) the cost to any Lender or a Related Body Corporate of a Lender of making available, or agreeing to make available, or maintaining or funding, its participation in a Facility or any part of that Facility, or of otherwise giving effect to this agreement, is increased; and/or

(ii) the amount of any payment received or receivable by any Lender or the effective return to any Lender or a Related Body Corporate of a Lender under or in connection with any Finance Document is reduced (whether by reason of tax or otherwise); and/or

(iii) any Lender or a Related Body Corporate of a Lender makes any payment or foregoes any interest, fees or other return on or calculated by reference to the amount of any sum received or receivable by it under or in connection with any Finance Document; and/or

(iv) any Lender or a Related Body Corporate of a Lender is unable to obtain the rate of return on capital in respect of this agreement which might reasonably have been expected at the date hereof but for its entering into and/or performing its obligations under this agreement,

then and in any such case (unless the increased cost, reduction, payment, foregone interest, fees or other return or reduced rate of return on capital occurs as a result of tax on overall net income of that Lender or the Related Body Corporate of that Lender):


(v) the relevant Lender shall promptly notify the Facility Agent and the Borrowers of the occurrence of the relevant event;

(vi) the Borrowers shall from time to time pay to the Facility Agent for the account of that Lender on demand the amount that that Lender specifies to be necessary to compensate it (or it's Related Body Corporate) for (and only to the extent of) that increased cost, reduction, payment, foregone interest, fees or other return or reduced rate of return on capital;

(vii) the Borrowers shall be entitled at any time after the receipt of any such demand, so long as the circumstances giving rise to that increased cost, reduction, payment, foregone interest, fees or other return or reduced rate of return on capital continue, on giving not less than 15 Business Days' notice to the Facility Agent and the relevant Lender (which notice shall be irrevocable), to elect that, at the end of that notice period or (at the election of the Borrowers) on the next Interest Payment Date of an affected Utilisation, or the Repayment Date of an affected Utilisation, such Lender's participation in the Facilities be cancelled whereupon on the relevant date:

(A) the Commitment of such Lender shall be reduced to zero;

(B) the amount of each relevant Facility so affected shall be reduced by the amount of that Lender's Commitment; and

(C) the Borrowers shall on that date (or the relevant dates, as the case may be) prepay to that Lender the whole (but not part only) of that Lender's participation in each such outstanding Utilisation made to it together with (on the last such date) all other Outstanding Money payable to that Lender; and

(D) upon a reduction being made in accordance with clauses 16.1(c)(vii)(A) and 16.1(c)(vii)(B), the Facility Agent shall immediately notify each of the Lenders of such reductions.

The obligations of the Borrowers under clause 16.1(c)(vi):

(viii) shall survive termination of this agreement and the Facilities; and

(ix) are subject to the increased costs not being attributable to:

(A) a FATCA Deduction required to be made by any party; or

(B) a tax deduction required by law which is subject to clause 18.1 (Gross- up).

16.2 Illegality and market change

(a) Reduction of Commitment and prepayment: If by reason of:

(i) the introduction of or any change in any law or any change in the interpretation or application thereof, by any governmental agency in each case after the date of this agreement; or

(ii) compliance by any Lender with any directive made after the date of this agreement; or

(iii) any other circumstances affecting the relevant funding markets generally or the availability of finance to lending institutions in those markets generally,


any Lender is unable, or it becomes impossible or illegal for any Lender, to make available, or maintain or fund, its participation in a Facility, or otherwise to give effect to this agreement, that Lender may, by notice to the Borrowers, cancel its participation in that Facility, whereupon on the date on which that Lender stipulates (which may not be earlier than 5 Business Days before the date which it reasonably determines is the date on which the illegality or impossibility takes effect):

(iv) the Commitment of that Lender will be reduced to zero;

(v) the amount of each relevant Facility so affected shall be reduced by the amount of that Lender's Commitment;

(vi) the Borrowers shall prepay to that Lender the whole (but not part only) of that Lender's participation in each such outstanding Utilisation made to it together with all other Outstanding Money payable to that Lender; and

(vii) upon a reduction being made in accordance with clauses 16.2(a)(iv) and 14.2(a)(v), the Facility Agent shall immediately notify each of the Lenders of such reductions.

(b) Consultation: Without affecting the Borrowers' obligations to make any payments under clause 16.1(c)(vi) or 16.2, if notice is given to the Borrowers under clauses 16.1(c)(v) or 16.2 (other than in respect of an illegality), the Borrowers and the relevant Lender will, if the Borrowers so request, for a period of 30 days (or such longer period as the relevant Lender may agree) discuss whether there are any mutually satisfactory alternative means by which that Lender's Commitment might be made or continued in such a way that would avoid or minimise the circumstances giving rise to such a notice.

16.3 Survival of obligations

The obligations of the Borrowers under clause 16.2 (Illegality and market change) are to survive termination of the Facilities and payment of all other indebtedness due under any Finance Document.

16.4 Impossibility

None of the Finance Parties is to be liable for any failure to perform or comply with its obligations under the Finance Documents resulting directly or indirectly from:

(a) the action or inaction of a governmental or local authority, strike, labour disturbance (whether of its employees, officers or otherwise);

(b) a change in any law, or any change in the interpretation or application thereof, by any governmental agency;

(c) other circumstances affecting the relevant funding markets generally or the availability of finance to lending institutions in those markets generally; or

(d) any other cause which is beyond its control.

16.5 Market Disruption

(a) If the Facility Agent determines that a Market Disruption Event has occurred in relation to an Advance for any Interest Period, then the Facility Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the Lenders and the rate of interest on each affected Lender's share of that Advance for the relevant Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of:


(i) the Margin; and

(ii) the rate notified to the Facility Agent by that affected Lender determined by the Lender as soon as practicable and in any event before interest is due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to that affected Lender (acting in accordance with usual banking practice) of funding that Advance from whatever source it may reasonably select.

(b) In this agreement Market Disruption Event means:

(i) there is no Screen Rate and it is not possible to calculate the Interpolated Screen Rate at the Specified Time and none or only one of the Reference Banks supplies a buy rate to the Facility Agent to determine the Base Rate; or

(ii) before the close of business in Auckland on the first day of the relevant Interest Period, the Facility Agent receives notifications from a Lender or Lenders (whose aggregate participations in an Advance exceed 35% of that Advance) that as a result of market circumstances not limited to it, the cost to it of funding its participation in the relevant Advance exceeds the Base Rate (in which case, an affected Lender will be each Lender giving such a notification).

16.6 Alternative basis of interest or funding

(a) If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Facility Agent or the Company so require, the Facility Agent and the Company shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than 30 days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest. During the period of negotiation, the rate of interest shall be calculated in accordance with clause 16.5(a).

(b) Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to clause 16.6(a) shall, subject to the agreement of all Lenders and the Company, be binding on all parties to this agreement.

(c) The Facility Agent shall promptly inform the Company and each Lender of any alternative basis agreed under this clause 16.6.

16.7 FATCA Deduction

(a) Each party may make any FATCA Deduction it is required to make by FATCA, and any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, and no party shall be required to increase any payment in respect of which it makes such a FATCA Deduction or otherwise compensate the recipient of the payment for that FATCA Deduction.

(b) Each party shall promptly, upon becoming aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of such FATCA Deduction) notify the party to whom it is making the payment and, in addition, shall notify the Company and the other Finance Parties.

17. Payments


17.1 Payments by Lenders

All payments to be made by a Lender to a Borrower under this agreement shall be made for value in the place of payment on the due date to the account of the Facility Agent previously notified by the Facility Agent to each Lender, provided that where a Lender is due to receive


any funds from a Borrower under this agreement on the same day and in the same currency as that on and in which it is to make a payment to that Borrower, it may (having given notice to the Facility Agent and the relevant Borrower no later than the second Business Day before the date of payment) apply the payment to be made by it in or towards satisfaction of the payment to be made to it.

17.2 Distribution to the Borrowers

The Facility Agent shall pay to the relevant Borrower before the close of business in the place of payment on the due date any amount so paid to the Facility Agent by the Lenders. Such payment shall be made in the same currency as received by the Facility Agent to the account in the place of payment specified in the relevant Utilisation Request.

17.3 Payments by the Borrowers

All payments of principal, interest, or fees due from the Borrowers shall be paid to the Facility Agent for the account of the Lenders entitled thereto and all other payments payable by the Borrowers under this agreement or any other Finance Document to or for account of a Finance Party shall be paid directly to that Finance Party. Each such payment shall be made for value in the place of payment on the due date to the account of the Facility Agent or, as the case may be, that Finance Party previously notified by the Facility Agent or, as the case may be, that Finance Party to the Borrowers.

17.4 Distribution to Lenders

The Facility Agent shall pay to each Lender, promptly upon receipt, each Lender's proportionate share of any amount paid to the Facility Agent for the account of the Lenders. Such payment shall be made in the same currency as received by the Facility Agent to the account specified by the relevant Lender. If the Facility Agent receives a payment that is insufficient to discharge all the amounts then due and payable by an Obligor under the Finance Documents, the Facility Agent shall apply that payment towards the obligations of that Obligor under the Finance Documents in the following order:

(a) first, in or towards payment of any unpaid fees and costs of the Security Trustee under the Finance Documents;

(b) secondly, in or towards payment pro rata of any unpaid fees and costs of the Facility Agent or the Mandated Lead Arranger under the Finance Documents;

(c) thirdly, in or towards payment pro rata of any Principal, interest, fees or commission due but unpaid under this Agreement; and

(d) fourthly, in or towards payment pro rata of any other sum due but unpaid under the Finance Documents.

17.5 Refunding of payments

Where an amount is to be paid to the Facility Agent for the account of another person, the Facility Agent shall not be obliged to pay that amount to that other person until it has been able to establish that it has actually received that amount. If the Facility Agent does pay that amount and it proves to be the case that it had not actually received the amount paid out, then the person to whom that amount was paid shall immediately on request refund it to the Facility Agent, together with an amount sufficient to indemnify the Facility Agent against any funding or other cost, loss, expense or liability sustained or incurred by it as a result of paying out that amount before receiving it.


17.6 Business Days

If any amount becomes due for payment under a Finance Document on a day which is not a Business Day, it shall (except to the extent otherwise provided in this agreement) be paid on the next following Business Day and any interest shall be adjusted accordingly.

17.7 Same day funds

Each payment to be made under this clause 17 shall be made in same day funds.

17.8 Reinstatement

If a payment made by an Obligor pursuant to a Finance Document is avoided by law:

(a) that payment will be deemed not to have discharged or affected the obligation of that Obligor in respect of which that payment was made or received; and

(b) the Finance Parties and that Obligor will be deemed to be restored to the position in which each would have been, and be entitled to exercise all the rights which each would have had, if that payment had not been made.

17.9 Payments to be free and clear

All amounts payable by the Obligors under a Finance Document shall be paid:

(a) free and clear of any restriction or condition; and

(b) (except to the extent required by law or as expressly provided otherwise in this agreement) without any deduction or withholding on account of any tax or any other amount, whether by way of set-off, counterclaim or otherwise.

18. Taxes


18.1 Gross-up

If:

(a) an Obligor is required by law to make any deduction or withholding from any amount paid or payable by it under a Finance Document (other than a FATCA Deduction); or

(b) any Finance Party is required by law to make any payment on account of tax (other than tax on overall net income of the relevant Finance Party) or otherwise on or in relation to any amount received or receivable by it under a Finance Document (other than a FATCA Deduction),

then:

(c) that Obligor shall ensure that any such deduction or withholding does not exceed the legal minimum and shall pay the amount required to be deducted, withheld or paid to the relevant authority before the date on which penalties attach thereto;

(d) (unless the requirement is a result of a Lender breaching its undertaking in clause

18.3 (Certificate of exemption) or relates to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by any party) the amount payable by that Obligor in respect of which that deduction, withholding or payment is required to be made shall be increased to the extent


necessary to ensure that, after that deduction, withholding or payment is made, the relevant Finance Party receives and retains (free from any liability in respect of any such deduction, withholding or payment) a net amount equal to the amount which it would have received and so retained had no such deduction, withholding or payment been made;

(e) that Obligor shall promptly deliver to the relevant Finance Party the receipt issued by the applicable authority evidencing that such deduction or withholding has been made; and

(f) that Obligor may at any time subsequently, so long as a requirement to pay any additional amount under this clause 18.1 continues and subject to the relevant Finance Party having received not less than 15 Business Days' notice of that Obligor's  intention to do so (which notice shall be irrevocable), elect that the Finance Party's participation in any Facility be cancelled whereupon the relevant Facility Amount will be reduced by the amount of that Finance Party's Commitment and the Borrowers      shall prepay the relevant Finance Party's participation in the relevant Facility Amount together with any Outstanding Money owing to the relevant Finance Party in respect of that Facility, such prepayment to be effected immediately (or within any period specified by the relevant Finance Party).

18.2 Tax credit

Any tax credit or refund received by any Finance Party in relation to an additional amount paid by an Obligor to that Finance Party under clause 18.1 (Gross-up) shall be refunded to that Obligor unless the relevant Finance Party determines that it would be prejudiced as a result of such payment. Nothing in this clause, however, shall interfere with any Finance Party's right to arrange its taxation affairs in whatever manner it deems fit and, in particular, no Finance Party shall, whether by virtue of this clause or otherwise, be under any obligation to claim relief from its corporation, profits or similar tax liability in respect of any deduction, withholding or payment referable to this agreement, in priority to any other reliefs, claims, credits or deductions available to it. The notification of the relevant Finance Party as to any such tax credit or refund shall be conclusive and binding on an Obligor. No Finance Party will be obliged to disclose any information regarding its tax affairs and computations.

18.3 Certificate of exemption

Each RWT Lender:

(a) confirms that as at the date of this agreement it holds a valid resident withholding tax exemption certificate (certificate of exemption) issued pursuant to section RE27 of the Income Tax Act 2007 (Tax Act) or is otherwise exempt from resident withholding tax;

(b) agrees to use reasonable endeavours to maintain a certificate of exemption or its status as otherwise exempt from resident withholding tax during the continuance of the Facilities provided it is lawfully able to do so; and

(c) agrees to notify the Company (with a copy to the Facility Agent) if it ceases to hold, or ceases to be entitled to hold, a certificate of exemption or ceases to be otherwise exempt from resident withholding tax.

In this clause 18.3, an RWT Lender shall mean any Lender that derives interest under this agreement as resident passive income (as that term is defined in section YA1 of the Tax Act), ignoring any exclusion from resident passive income for interest derived by a person that holds a resident withholding tax exemption certificate or who is otherwise exempt from resident withholding tax, and includes (without limitation) a Lender that is resident in New Zealand for the purposes of the Tax Act.


18.4 Approved issuer

(a) If requested by any Lender that is neither resident nor engaged in business through a fixed establishment (as that term is defined in the Tax Act) in New Zealand, each Borrower will:

(i) register as an "approved issuer" (as defined in section YA1 of the Tax Act); and

(ii) register the Facilities with the Commissioner of Inland Revenue under section 86H of the Stamp and Cheque Duties Act 1971,

and shall, in respect of any payment of interest (or payment deemed by law to be interest) to Lenders that are neither resident nor engaged in business through a fixed establishment, make the relevant payment of approved issuer levy (as defined in section 86F of the Stamp and Cheque Duties Act 1971) in accordance with section 86K of that Act in order to reduce (to the extent permitted by law) the applicable level of non-resident withholding tax to zero percent, provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the relevant Borrower may not deduct the amount of such approved issuer levy from that payment of interest (or payment deemed by law to be interest).

(b) Each Borrower shall notify the Facility Agent immediately upon becoming aware that it has failed to maintain its status as an "approved issuer".

18.5 FATCA Information

(a) Subject to paragraph (c) below, each party shall, within ten Business Days of a reasonable request by another party:

(i) confirm to that other party whether it is:

(A) a FATCA Exempt Party; or

(B) not a FATCA Exempt Party; and

(ii) supply to that other party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA (including its applicable "passthru payment percentage" or other information required under the US Treasury Regulations or other official guidance including intergovernmental agreements) as that other party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other party's compliance with FATCA; and

(iii) supply to that other party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status as that other party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other party's compliance with any other law, regulation, or exchange of information regime.

(b) If a party confirms to another party pursuant to 18.5(a)(i) above that it is a FATCA Exempt Party and it subsequently becomes aware that it is not, or has ceased to be a FATCA Exempt Party, that party shall notify that other party reasonably promptly.

(c) Paragraph (a) above shall not oblige any Finance Party to do anything which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of:

(i) any law or regulation;

(ii) any fiduciary duty; or


(iii) any duty of confidentiality.

(d) If a party fails to confirm its status or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with paragraph (a) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where paragraph (c) above applies), then:

(i) if that party failed to confirm whether it is (and/or remains) a FATCA Exempt Party then such party shall be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party; and

(ii) if that party failed to confirm its applicable "passthru payment percentage" then such party shall be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents (and payments made thereunder) as if its applicable "passthru payment percentage" is 100%,

until (in each case) such time as the party in question provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information.

19. Default Interest


19.1 Default interest payable

If any Obligor does not pay any sum payable under a Finance Document when due, it shall (without double counting) pay interest on the amount from time to time outstanding in respect of that overdue sum for the period beginning on its due date and ending on the date of its receipt by the relevant Finance Party when paid to that Finance Party (both before and after any judgment) in accordance with this clause 19.

19.2 Rate of default interest

Interest payable under clause 19.1 shall be calculated and payable by reference to successive periods, each of which (other than the first, which shall begin on and include the due date) shall begin on the last day of the previous period. Each such period shall be of a duration selected by the Facility Agent (or other Finance Party) from time to time (provided that the duration of such period shall be not less than 30 days) and the rate of interest applicable for a particular period shall be the rate per annum determined by the Facility Agent to be equal to the aggregate of 2% per annum, the Margin then applicable in respect of the Facilities and the weighted average cost to the relevant Finance Party or Finance Parties (as the case may be) of funding the overdue sum.

19.3 Payment of default interest

Interest payable under clause 19.1 (Default interest payable) shall be payable on the last day of each period in respect of which it is calculated and on the date of receipt of the overdue sum by the relevant Finance Party. Any interest which is not paid when due shall be added to the overdue sum on a 30 day compounding basis and shall itself bear interest accordingly.

20. Set-off


20.1 Set-off

Each Obligor authorises the Facility Agent (on behalf of itself and each Lender) and each other Finance Party at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default to apply (without any prior notice or demand) any credit balance of that Obligor on any account in any currency and at any offices of the Facility Agent or any such Finance Party in or towards satisfaction of any outstanding indebtedness then due to it under any Finance Document. If


at any time following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default any amount is contingently due or any amount due is not quantified, the Facility Agent or any such Finance Party may retain and withhold payment of any such credit balance and the payment of any interest or other moneys thereon pending that amount becoming due and/or being quantified, and may set-off the maximum liability which may at any time be or become owing to              it by that Obligor, or partly the one and partly the other, and in each case without any prior notice or demand. For the purposes of this clause 20.1, the Facility Agent and each Finance Party:

(a) is authorised to break any term deposit and to use all or any part of any such credit balance to buy such other currencies as may be necessary to effect those applications; and

(b) shall not be obliged to exercise any of its rights under this clause 20.1, which shall be without prejudice and in addition to any other rights under any Finance Document and any right of set-off, combination of accounts, lien or other right to which it is at any time otherwise entitled (whether by law, contract or otherwise).

20.2 Contractual rights

The rights of the Facility Agent and each Finance Party under clause 20.1 are contractual rights affecting the terms upon which any credit balance is held and the creation of those rights does not constitute the creation of any security over, or other proprietary interest in, that credit balance.

21. Sharing


21.1 Proportionate sharing

Whenever any Lender receives or recovers (whether by way of set-off, banker's lien or otherwise) any moneys in respect of any amount due from any Obligor under any Finance Document (except to the extent that this agreement expressly provides for direct payment to that Lender of such amount, including any amount payable under this agreement in relation to the transfer of a Commitment, or part thereof or under clauses 16.1 (Increased costs) or 24 (Indemnities)) otherwise than by way of a distribution by the Facility Agent under this agreement or another Finance Document, then:

(a) that Lender shall promptly pay those moneys to the Facility Agent; and

(b) that payment or recovery shall be deemed to have been a payment to the Facility Agent for the account of the Lenders and not a payment to that Lender for its own account, and to that extent the liability of the relevant Obligor to that Lender shall not be reduced by that payment or recovery, other than to the extent of any distribution received by that Lender under this agreement.

The above:

(i) shall not apply to any amount received or recovered by the Issuing Bank and applied by it towards any amount then payable to it by way of the provision of cash cover (which has been provided to the Issuing Bank in accordance with the Finance Documents) or otherwise in respect of a Letter of Credit at any time when receipts and recoveries by the Finance Parties are sufficient to discharge all amounts then due and payable under the Finance Documents; and

(ii) shall apply to any amount received or recovered by the Issuing Bank and applied by it towards any amount then payable to it by way of the provision of cash cover or otherwise in respect of a Letter of Credit at any time when


receipts and recoveries by the Finance Parties are not sufficient to discharge all amounts then due and payable under the Finance Documents; and

(iii) shall not apply to any application by the Issuing Bank under clause 15.3 (Cash cover) of cash cover which has been provided to the Issuing Bank in accordance with the Finance Documents.

21.2 Repayment

If all or a portion of the relevant payment or recovery to or by a Lender is subsequently rescinded or must otherwise be restored to an Obligor, the Lenders shall repay to the Facility Agent for the account of that Lender such amount as shall be necessary to ensure that the Lenders share rateably (in accordance with their Commitments) in the amount of the payment or recovery retained and clause 21.1(b) shall apply only to the retained amount.

21.3 Refusal to join in action

If any Lender fails or refuses to join in any action with the other Lenders against an Obligor, or does not pay its share of the costs of any such action, in each case having been given a reasonable opportunity and being legally entitled to do so, its failure to do so shall be taken into account when determining its rateable sharing under this clause 21 and that Lender shall not be entitled to share in any amount recovered as a result of any such action.

22. Relationship of Lenders to Facility Agent and Mandated Lead Arranger


22.1 Authority

(a) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank irrevocably appoints and authorises the Facility Agent to act as its administrative agent under the Finance Documents with the powers expressly given to the Facility Agent under the Finance Documents together with any other powers which are reasonably incidental to those powers.

(b) Without limiting the generality of clause 22.1(a) the Facility Agent shall, subject to the Finance Documents, act as agent for the Lenders in:

(i) receiving payments from and making payments to the Borrowers;

(ii) making demand or claim for any moneys payable under any Finance Document;

(iii) exercising the rights, powers and remedies of the Lenders against the Borrowers under the Finance Documents; and

(iv) issuing and receiving notices under the Finance Documents on behalf of the Lenders.

(c) Any action taken by the Facility Agent in accordance with this clause 22 shall bind all the Lenders.

(d) The Facility Agent and the Mandated Lead Arranger shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set out in the Finance Documents.


22.2 Instructions; extent of discretion

(a) In the exercise of any of its rights, powers and discretions under the Finance Documents, the Facility Agent shall act in accordance with the instructions of the Majority Lenders. The Facility Agent shall not be obliged to seek instructions except where expressly required by any Finance Document.

(b) In the absence of any such instructions, the Facility Agent may act as it thinks fit in the best interests of the Lenders as a whole or may, notwithstanding clause 22.1(b), refrain from acting until receipt of instructions.

(c) Except where this agreement otherwise expressly provides, the Facility Agent shall not be obliged to consult with the Lenders before giving any consent, approval or agreement or making any determination under the Finance Documents unless it is practicable to do so and shall not, in the opinion of the Facility Agent, prejudice the interests of the Lenders as a whole.

(d) The Facility Agent may refrain from doing anything which would or might in its opinion be contrary to any law or official directive, or render it liable to any person.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision in this clause 22, the Facility Agent shall not be obliged to take any action under any Finance Document until it is first secured to its satisfaction in accordance with clause 22.11(c).

22.3 No obligation to investigate

(a) The Borrowers shall not be concerned to enquire as to whether any instructions have been given to the Facility Agent as required by this agreement or as to the terms of any such instructions.

3.1 In approving the Document[s] and the Transactions, the Board, after taking into account all relevant factors, is of the view [Option 1: that the Company's entry into and performance of the Document[s] and the Transactions is in the best interests of the Company. Option 2: (pursuant to an express provision in the constitution of the Company) that the Company's entry into and performance of the Document[s] and the Transactions is in the best interests of the Company's Holding Company [and as the Company is not a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company's holding Company the prior agreement to the Company's entry into and performance of the Document[s] and the Transactions has been obtained from all of the Company's shareholders, other than that Holding Company].]

4. Shareholder resolutions


4.1 [Option 1: It has been determined that the Transactions are a "Major Transaction" for the purposes of section 129 of the Act. Accordingly [all of] the shareholders of the Company have by special resolution:

(a) approved the Document[s] and the Transactions; and

(b) confirmed, approved and ratified the resolutions of the Board referred to above.

4.2 Option 2: It has been determined that the Transactions do not constitute a "Major Transaction"

for the purpose of section 129 of the Act.]

5. Due Execution


5.1 [Each of the][The] Document[s] has been properly signed and delivered by the Company.

6. Solvency


6.1 I am not aware of any liquidation proceedings which have been commenced against the Company by any person, or which are intended or anticipated by the Company.

6.2 [Option 1: Having taken into account all relevant factors [(including in the case of a guarantee all rights of contribution and subrogation to which the Company would be entitled if called upon to perform its obligations and the solvency of the guaranteed and guaranteeing parties)] I am of the view that the value of the consideration or benefit received, or to be received, by the Company under the Transactions is not less than the value of the consideration provided, or to be provided, by the Company.

6.3 Option 2: After making due enquiry, I am of the view that the Company:

(a) is able to pay its due debts;

(b) will be able to perform its obligations under the Document[s] and the Transactions when required to do so;

(c) will not become unable to pay its due debts as a result of the Document[s] and the Transactions; and

(d) if the Transactions involve a disposition of property, is not a person to whom any of the criteria in section 346(2) of the Property Law Act 2007 applies.]


7. Financial Assistance


7.1 [Option 1: The Transactions do not include or involve any provision by the Company (directly or indirectly) of financial assistance in connection with the acquisition of a share issued or to be issued by the Company or its Holding Company.

7.2 Option 2: The Transactions do include or involve the provision by the Company (directly or indirectly) of financial assistance in connection with the acquisition of a share issued or to be issued by the Company or its Holding company. Accordingly, all of the entitled persons in relation to the Company have agreed in writing (pursuant to section 107(1)(e) of the Act) to the Company's entry into and performance of the Documents and the Transactions (so that nothing in sections 76 to 80 of the Act will apply to the Transactions).

7.3 Prior to the provision of the financial assistance, the Board, after taking into account all relevant factors, resolved that it is satisfied on reasonable grounds that the Company would, immediately after the giving of the financial assistance, satisfy the solvency test as set out in section 4, as modified by section 108(5), of the Act.

7.4 Those directors of the Company who voted in favour of the giving of financial assistance have signed a certificate stating that, in their opinion, the Company will, immediately after the financial assistance is given, satisfy the solvency test as set out in section 6, as modified by section 108(5), of the Act.

7.5 As far as I am aware, at no time since the passing of the resolution referred to in paragraph 6.2 has the Board, or any director of the Company, ceased to be satisfied that the Company will satisfy the solvency test immediately after the giving of the financial assistance.]

8. Constitution


8.1 [Option 1: The Company does not have a constitution. Option 2: The copy of the constitution of the Company held on its records as maintained on the Companies Office website as at the date of this certificate is complete and includes all alterations to date.]

9. Authorisations


9.1 All consents and other authorisations required by the Company in connection with the entry into, execution and performance of the Documents and the Transactions have been obtained on an unconditional and unqualified basis and remain in full force and effect.
