If there are insufficient Shares available, after allocation in accordance with sub-clauses (a) and (b), to satisfy all applications for Excess Shares, the Shares available will be allocated amongst Participants which have applied for Excess Shares in proportion to their respective shareholdings (excluding the shareholdings of any Participants who have not applied for Excess Shares), but no Participant will be allocated a greater number of Excess Shares than the number for which that Participant applied; and

(d) if, once Shares are allocated in accordance with sub-clauses (a), (b) and (c), there remain Shares which have not been allocated, the Board may allocate all or any of those Shares to any person or persons which the Board may at its discretion approve (“Approved Person”).

The Board must, immediately after it has completed allocation under this clause 3, give notice to all Participants specifying the Shares which have been allocated to each Participant.

4. Partial Allocation: The Seller is not required to sell less than all of the Shares in the Sale Parcel. If the Board does not allocate pursuant to clause 3 all of the Shares in the Sale Parcel, the Seller may sell all of the Shares in the Sale Parcel to a Third Party in accordance with clause 7.

5. Completion: On the date 20 Business Days after the Final Date, unless the Transfer Notice has been revoked:

(a) the Seller will sell and each Buyer will buy the Shares allocated to that Buyer under clause 3;

(b) the Seller will pass and assign to each Buyer legal and beneficial title to and ownership of those Shares free of Encumbrances (other than Encumbrances which arise under the Company’s constitution), and must deliver to each Buyer a transfer of those Shares and the share certificates (if any) for those Shares; and

(c) each Buyer must pay to the Seller the purchase price for those Shares in New Zealand currency:

(i) in cleared and immediately available funds (unless otherwise agreed);

(ii) free of any restriction; and

(iii) without any condition, deduction or withholding on account of any amount, whether by way of set-off, counterclaim or otherwise (except as required by law).

The Company may receive the purchase price for Shares on behalf of the Seller, the receipt of the Company on behalf of the Seller will be a complete discharge to Buyers, and no question may be raised as to the title of any Shares after that Buyer is registered as the holder of Shares. The Company will hold the purchase price, less any expenses incurred by the Company, on trust for the Seller.

102291.4 - 482694_2.docx

(b) The Seller will indemnify each member of the Board and the Company for any and all liabilities, losses, claims, damages, costs and expenses (including legal costs) that arise directly or indirectly as a consequence any action taken in good faith by any member of the Board and/or the Company under sub-clause (a).

Sale to Third Party: If the Seller is entitled to sell Shares to a Third Party under clause 4 the Seller may, within 40 Business Days after the Final Date sell and/or cause to be sold the entire legal and beneficial ownership in all of the Shares in the Sale Parcel to any person or persons who is not an Associate of the Seller and who is approved by the Board in terms of clause 9 (a “Third Party”).

8. Terms of Sale: Each sale to a Third Party will:

(a) be for a price which is payable in New Zealand currency in cash in full on sale of the Shares in question, and is not less than the Offer Price; and

(b) not be subject to any terms (including the terms of any collateral or related transaction) which provide to the Third Party any benefit or advantage which would not be available to a Buyer in terms of clause 5.

9. Approval by Board: The Seller must not sell Shares to any person unless that person is approved by the Board. The Board will not unreasonably withhold that approval, and will not withhold approval except on the grounds that the person in question:

(a) is a material competitor of the Company’s business; or

(b) does not have the financial strength required of a Participant; or

(c) would cause real and material harm to the reputation or goodwill of the Company if that person became a Participant; or

(d) would, by reason of that person holding Shares:

(i) cause a restriction on the ability of the Company to carry on business or effect transactions;

(ii) adversely affect any licence, permit or concession held by the Company; or

(iii) would have a negative tax impact on the Company; or

(iv) result in the Company ceasing to enjoy a material benefit or result in a material detriment to the Company.

If the Board declines the approval referred to in this clause 9, the Board will provide to the Seller full details in writing of the reasons for declining that approval.
