expressly provides otherwise. 

  

	4.7	Default interest: If a party fails to pay on the due date any amount which that party is obliged to pay under this Agreement, then that party must on demand pay the other
party interest on that amount at the Prescribed Rate for each day during the period from and including the date on which the default was made until but excluding the day that amount (and all interest on that amount) has been paid in full.


  

	4.8	Calculation of interest: Any interest payable under this Agreement will be calculated and accrue on a daily basis and will be capitalised every 30 days.


  

	4.9	Core acquisition price:  

  

	 	(a)	The Purchase Price does not include any capitalised interest and the parties agree that the Purchase Price is the “lowest price” for the purposes of valuing the Assets in
accordance with section EW 32(3) of the Income Tax Act 2004.

	 	(a)	an Adjustment Amount; or 

  

	 	(b)	any Claim for any breach of this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, a breach of a Purchaser’s Warranty or a Vendor’s Warranty); or 


 

	 	(c)	an indemnity under this Agreement, 

  

	4.11	or any adjustment to the Purchase Price is made in accordance with clause 6.3, the payment or adjustment shall adjust that portion of the Purchase Price allocated in Schedule 5 to
the Assets to which the payment and/or Claim and/or adjustment relates under this Agreement and the Purchase Price for the particular Asset shall be deemed to be adjusted by the amount of such payment. Any disagreement between the Vendor and the
Purchaser in relation to this clause 4.10 shall be referred to Expert Determination. 

  

	4.12	Other rights not affected: A party’s right to require payment of interest does not affect any other rights or remedies it may have in respect of a failure to pay an
amount due under this Agreement.

	5.1	Periodic payments:  

  

	 	(a)	All costs, expenses and other outgoings of any nature, including all rent, rates, power, water, fees and rentals (but excluding insurance premiums), and all revenue and income of
any nature, in each case that relate to the Assets, must be apportioned between the Vendor and the Purchaser as at the Calculation Time. 

  

	 	(b)	 If there is any rent or licence fee review under or relating to any amount to be apportioned under clause 5.1 that takes place after Completion that alters the
amount payable in respect of any period prior to Completion, then the Vendor 



  

 12 









	 	 
shall pay to the Purchaser, or the Purchaser shall pay to the Vendor, as the case may be, the appropriate amount to reflect the change within 10 Business
Days of the alteration of such rent or licence fee (with any dispute dealt with under the Dispute Process). The Purchaser may not agree any rent or licence fee review with any counterparty for which it will seek to recover payment from the Vendor
under this clause 5.1 (or which will otherwise result in an additional payment being required to be made by the Vendor) without the prior written consent of the Vendor, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. 


  

	5.2	Apportionment estimate prepared: No later than 5 Business Days prior to Completion, the Vendor shall provide the Purchaser with an apportionment statement,
(“Estimated Apportionment Statement”), together with appropriate supporting documentation, detailing the payments that the Vendor estimates are required to be made under clause 5.1(a) on Completion, and showing whether the Vendor or
the Purchaser is required to make a net payment to the other. All amounts in the Estimated Apportionment Statement and all calculations required by this clause 5.2 are to exclude GST. 

  

	5.3	Final Apportionment Statement: Within 30 Business Days after Completion, the Vendor shall provide the Purchaser with an apportionment statement (“Final Apportionment
Statement”) detailing the actual payment required to be made under clause 5.1(a), and showing whether the Vendor or the Purchaser is required to make a net payment to the other, together with such working papers as the Purchaser may
reasonably require to satisfy itself as to the calculation of such amounts. All amounts in the Final Apportionment Statement and all calculations required by this clause 5.3 are to exclude GST. 

  

	5.4	Apportionment adjustment: Subject to clause 5.5 below, if the Final Apportionment Statement differs from the Estimated Apportionment Statement, the Vendor will make an
adjusting payment to the Purchaser, or the Purchaser will make an adjusting payment to the Vendor, as the case may require, together with interest thereon at the Bank Bill Rate (calculated on a daily basis), within 10 Business Days of the receipt by
the Purchaser of the Final Apportionment Statement. To the extent that any incomings and outgoings that are to be apportioned pursuant to clause 5.1(a) have not been determined by the date of preparation of the Final Apportionment Statement,
estimated incomings and outgoings will be included in the Final Apportionment Statement. A further adjustment payment (“Apportionment Adjustment Payment”) will be determined and made in a manner consistent with clause 5.3 and this
clause 5.4 once these amounts have been determined. 

  

	5.5	Disputes: If the Purchaser disputes the Final Apportionment Statement, then: 

  

	 	(a)	the Purchaser must notify the Vendor within 10 Business Days after receipt of the Final Apportionment Statement or Apportionment Adjustment Payment, as the case may be, and specific
details of the calculation it does not accept; 

  

	 	(b)	the Vendor and the Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith for a period of 10 Business Days from the date of receipt by the Vendor of notice from the Purchaser under clause 5.5(a)
in order to attempt to resolve the dispute and determine the further adjusting payment that is necessary (if any) and the party obliged to make that payment; and 

  

	 	(c)	where the dispute is not resolved pursuant to clause 5.5(b), then either the Vendor or the Purchaser may refer such dispute to the Expert in accordance with clause 9.5.

consent must not be unreasonably delayed or withheld) ensure that the Forests and Freehold Land are managed in a manner consistent with past practice, employing the same degree of care and skill as a reasonable person with expertise in large scale

	 	(c)	If the Vendor and the Purchaser are unable to agree on the amount by which the Purchase Price is to be reduced pursuant to clause 6.3(b) within 10 Business Days of commencing
discussions, the amount shall be determined under the Dispute Process. 

  

	 	(d)	For the avoidance of doubt, the harvesting of trees pursuant to the Harvesting Plan does not constitute loss or damage pursuant to this clause 6.3. 

  

	6.4	Permitted acts: During the Pre-Completion Period, the Vendor may do or omit to do anything that the Vendor considers appropriate or necessary including any of the following
insofar as it relates to the Assets and any other contracts, assets or arrangements:

	 	(b)	anything which is necessary to meet its legal or contractual obligations; and

Guarantee; and 

  

	 	(ii)	nothing in this clause 6.5 (b) shall be construed as requiring any person other than the Purchaser to provide such substitute guarantees. 

  

	7.	COMPLETION 

  

	7.1	Time and place of Completion: Completion must occur on the Completion Date at:  

  

	 	(a)	the offices of the Vendor’s Solicitors at Level 18, PricewaterhouseCoopers Tower, 188 Quay Street, Auckland by no later than 2:00 pm (New Zealand time) on the Completion Date;

	 	(b)	 a Completion Notice will be effective only if the Non-Defaulting Party, at the time the notice is given, is in all respects ready, able and willing to proceed to
effect Completion in accordance with the Completion Notice (and the Non-Defaulting Party states in the Completion Notice that it is so ready, willing and

or remedies available under this Agreement or at Law; 

  

	 	(i)	sue the Vendor for specific performance; or

	 	(iii)	without limiting its obligations under clause 8.5(b)(ii), the Purchaser must provide any financial and operational information as may be reasonably required by any counter-party
whose consent is required, and substitute guarantees on terms no more onerous than the terms of the relevant Guarantee, provided that nothing in this subclause shall be construed as requiring any person other than the Purchaser to provide such
substitute guarantees; 

  

	 	(iv)	from Completion the Vendor will hold all of its right, title and interest in that Non Freehold Land Contract on trust for the benefit of the Purchaser and will act in accordance

	11.10	Contingent Warranty Claims:

Purchaser being required to ensure the Vendor is provided with reasonable assistance and cooperation; and/or 


  

	 	(ii)	do any thing or not do any thing, in each case as the Vendor reasonably requests, to defend or otherwise deal with the Third Party Claim as against the Third Party and keep the

	 	(i)	the Purchaser recovers an amount from the Vendor under this clause 11; and 

  

	 	(ii)	the Purchaser then receives an amount from a third party and this amount would have reduced the amount recovered by the Purchaser if it had been received before the recovery.

	 	(i)	Vendor under this clause 11; and 

  

	 	(ii)	Third Party 

  

	 	(i)	less, in each case, any costs reasonably incurred in obtaining the amount from the Vendor or the Third Party, as the case may be.
