the effect that “the Black Horse, Shield Device and Colour Green trade marks
are used by the National Bank of New Zealand Limited under licence from Lloyds
TSB Bank plc following the acquisition of the National Bank of New Zealand
Limited from the Lloyds TSB Group by the ANZ Group in 2003”,

except for clause 6.1(b)(iii) and

not use the Trade Marks in conjunction with other trade marks which do not form
part of the Trade Marks (whether or not registered), except as Permitted
Co-Branding or:

 

(i)                               in the manner and for
the purposes that those other trade marks were used in conjunction with the
relevant Trade Marks in carrying on the Business immediately prior to Closing;
or

 

(ii)                            in any other manner to
which the Licensor gives its prior written consent, such consent not to be

maintaining the integrity, goodwill and reputation of the Trade Marks;

 

(bb)                   the then current degree of
sensitivity attached to the relevant Trade Marks by the Licensor;

 

18

orderly transition of the Business to the Purchaser’s existing brand or to a
new brand; and

conducted efficaciously and in a timely manner without undue delay in
completing the transition; and

 

(f)                                    without limitation
to clause 6.1(c) or 6.1(e), not under any circumstances create
or use any merged or hybrid trade marks comprised of any of the Trade Marks (or

trade mark) not forming part of the Trade Marks without the prior written
consent of the Licensor.

 

6.2                           Notification to Licensor

The Licensee must promptly notify the Licensor in writing if, in
respect of any Trade Mark, for any continuous period of 30 months the Licensee
or other member of the Licensee Group does not make genuine use of that Trade
Mark and neither the Licensee nor any other member of the Licensee Group intend
to make use of that Trade Mark in the course of the next six months.

 

6.3                           Notification to
Licensor of Changed Circumstances

If the Licensee has not given notice to the Licensor pursuant to clause 6.2 in relation to any Trade Mark,
in respect of which for a continuous period of 30 months the Licensee or
other member of the Licensee Group has not made genuine use of the Trade Marks,
because the Licensee or another member of the Licensee Group intended to make
use of that Trade Mark in the course of the following six months, then:

 

(a)                                  if at any time during
that six month period that intention changes; or

 

(b)                                 if at the end of that
six month period there has not been genuine use of that Trade Mark,

 

the Licensee must immediately give notice to the Licensor of the
relevant non-use.

 

6.4                           Goodwill and Reputation

The Licensee acknowledges that the Licensor has a fundamental interest
in maintaining its goodwill and reputation in the Trade Marks.  Accordingly the Licensee must comply with
the Quality Standards, the Quality Control Requirements and the Brand Standards
and ensure that all members of the Licensee Group do so.  Any disputes arising between the Licensor
and Licensee concerning the Licensee’s compliance with the Quality Standards,
the Quality Control Requirements or the Brand Standards or in respect of any
dispute concerning any matter the subject of the Fourth Schedule (Disputes)
will be resolved in accordance with the provisions of the Eighth Schedule.

Licensor

(a)                        Except as expressly authorised
by this Agreement or with the prior written consent of the Licensor the
Licensee must not at any time anywhere in the world register, file an
application for or attempt to register any trade mark, business name, company
name, domain name, (or anything of a similar nature to any of these things),
that is identical to, confusingly similar to, derived from, a colourable
imitation of, or which incorporates the Black Horse Brands (or any of them) or
include any of these things as part of any corporate, business or trading name
or style anywhere in the world (or any of them) and the Licensee will ensure
that no other member of the Licensee Group does any of these things.

 

(b)                       Subject to the provisions of
this Agreement relating to trade mark and copyright notices, neither party may
at any time do or omit to do any thing, or make any representation which
implies, suggests, or is likely to make any person believe, that the Licensee
is connected with, or has any commercial or business relationship with, the
other than the relationship which exists under this Agreement (and each party
will ensure that no Related Company does or omits to do any of these things).

 

6.6                           Horse Themes,
Imagery etc

Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, the Licensee must not
at any time (including after termination or expiry of this Agreement) adopt or
use in any manner (including as a company name, domain name, brand or in
marketing or promotional materials or activities) any trade marks, signs,
symbols, logos, themes, ideas or imagery:

 

(a)                           of, based on or derived from
horses or horse-related themes or the Black Horse Brands to the extent that
they are capable of protection or ownership at law or in equity by the Licensor
or any member of the Lloyds TSB Group; or

 

(b)                          do anything, which would
dilute, take unfair advantage of, or be detrimental to, the distinctive
character or repute of any of the Black Horse Brands,

 

except for any uses, references to or depictions of horses or
horse-related activities which are purely incidental to (and not a dominant
aspect of) the Licensee’s marketing or other activities where such use:

 

(c)                           is not in any manner which
might be taken as being use as a trade mark or in a branding sense; and

 

(d)                          does not derive or attempt to
derive any benefit from the goodwill in the Black Horse Brands,

 

20

 

and the Licensee will ensure that no other member of the Licensee Group
does any of these things.

 

6.7                           Future Trade Marks

If at any time during the Term the Licensee wishes to:

 

(a)                                  use any of the Trade
Marks in a form other than the form in which that Trade Mark is registered
(whether or not this alters its distinctive character); or

 

(b)                                 modify or vary:

 

(i)                               or use any new forms of,
any of the Trade Marks; or

 

(ii)                            any forms of the Trade
Marks in the Brand Standards,

 

(Future Trade Marks) the
Licensee must not commence use of the Future Trade Mark unless the Licensor has
first approved in writing:

 

(c)                                  the Future Trade Mark
for use by the Licensee; and

 

(d)                                 the relevant Brand
Standards in respect of the Future Trade Mark.

 

Upon approvals by the Licensor pursuant to this clause 6.7 that approved Future Trade Mark
(Approved Future Trade Mark) will
then form part of the Trade Mark Brands.

 

6.8                           Registration of
Approved Future Trade Marks

In respect of any Approved Future Trade Mark, at the cost of the
Licensee:

 

(a)                                  the Licensor may
apply in its own name for registration of that Approved Future Trade Mark; or

 

(b)                                 if the Licensor does
not wish to register that Approved Future Trade Mark, the Licensee may apply in
the Licensor’s name for registration of that Approved Future Trade Mark, and
the Licensee will comply with all the Licensor’s reasonable directions in that
regard,

 

and the Licensor or Licensee (as the case may be) will provide all
assistance reasonably required by the other in registering such Approved Future
Trade Marks.

 

6.9                           Changes to Quality
Standards or Brand Standards

The Licensee may, at any time, make a written request to the Licensor
for a change to the Quality Standards or (without limiting clause 6.7) the Brand Standards.  Such request shall set out:

 

21

 

(a)                           the specific change or
changes proposed;

 

(b)                          the reason why such change or
changes are requested; and

 

(c)                           the grounds upon which the
Licensee believes that such change or changes will not result in any overall
material lessening of the Quality Standards or Brand Standards established
under this Agreement.

 

The Licensor shall consider any such written request made by the
Licensee.  If the Licensor approves the
proposed change or changes the Licensor will notify the Licensee in writing,
and the applicable Quality Standards or Brand Standards shall then be deemed to
be modified accordingly.

 

7                                    NO
ENCUMBRANCES

 

Unless the Licensor has given its prior written consent, the Licensee
must not create, or permit to subsist, any Encumbrance whatsoever over this
Agreement or over the Licensee’s rights or interest in or to the Trade Marks,
except any Encumbrance which is over all, or substantially all, of the business
assets of the Licensee or which arises solely by operation of law or in the
ordinary course of, and for the purposes of carrying on, the Licensee’s
ordinary business.

Save for the licences granted under this Agreement neither the Licensee
nor any other member of the Licensee Group presently has, or will acquire or
claim, any right, title or interest in or to the Black Horse Brands or the
goodwill attaching to any of them, and the Licensee acknowledges that all
goodwill in the Black Horse Brands arising from the use of the Trade Marks by
the Licensee or any other member of the Licensee Group (or from the use of the
Trade Marks by anyone else that the Licensee or any other member of the
Licensee Group permits to do so), whether or not that use is permitted by this
Agreement, will enure for the benefit of the Licensor.  The Licensor acknowledges that neither the
Licensee nor any other member of the Licensee Group is obliged to account to
the Licensor for the value of this goodwill.

is responsible, will at any time own any of the Lloyds TSB Copyrights or have
any rights to use the Lloyds TSB Copyrights except as expressly provided in
this Agreement.

 

9.2                           Contracts with Creators

If any works are produced by or for the Licensee (or any other member
of the Licensee Group) which form part of or reproduce any of the Lloyds TSB
Copyrights, the Licensee must ensure that every person involved in the
creation, development or production of the works that will have any right,
title or interest in copyright in that work or moral rights in or to that work,
enters into a prior written agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to the
Licensor that:

 

(a)                                  irrevocably waives
all that person’s moral rights in or to the work; and

 

(b)                                 assigns all that

(a)                                  at the Commencement
Date in the case of Lloyds TSB Copyrights existing at the Commencement Date;
and

 

(b)                                 in the case of any
Lloyds TSB Copyrights not existing at the Commencement Date, at the time that
those Lloyds TSB Copyrights come into existence.

 

10                              FURTHER ASSIGNMENTS OF LLOYDS TSB COPYRIGHTS/TRADE MARKS

 

To the extent that:

 

(a)                                  any right, title or interest
in or to Trade Marks or Lloyds TSB Copyrights is not effectively assigned to
the Licensor by this Agreement;

 

(b)                                 the Licensee or any
other member of the Licensee Group has, or obtains, any right, title or
interest in or to the Black Horse Brands (including in any goodwill in them);
or

 

23

 

(c)                                  the Licensee or any
other member of the Licensee Group has, or obtains, any right, title or
interest in or to any business name, company name, domain name, (or anything of
a similar nature to any of these things), that is identical to, confusingly
similar to, derived from, a colourable imitation of, or which incorporates any
of the Black Horse Brands,

 

the Licensee will promptly, on request of the Licensor, and at the cost
of the Licensor, do all things and execute all documents necessary to assign
all that right, title and interest to the Licensor to the extent possible at
law and will procure that any person controlled by the Licensee, or for which
the Licensee is responsible, or that is a member of the Licensee Group, or is
referred to in clause 9.2,
also does so provided that the Licensor confirms that nothing in this clause
obliges the Licensee or any member of the Licensee Group to account to the
Licensor for any value of the goodwill in the Trade Marks.

or any other trade marks, for or in connection with any Reserved Rights at any
time in New Zealand;

for any Sponsorship of any Person or Event not based in New Zealand; or

Subject to the provisions of clauses
2.14(b), 2.14(c), 6.8 and
 13, the Licensor has no obligation:

 

24

 

(a)                                  to maintain the Trade
Marks other than to pay necessary New Zealand renewal fees for the renewal of
the registration of any of the Trade Marks during the Term;

 

(b)                                 to progress any
applications for registration of Trade Marks (but subject to the provisions of clause 6.8 and clause 12.3); or

 

(c)                                  to defend, enforce or
protect the Trade Marks,

 

provided that if the Licensor does not pay the New Zealand renewal
fee for the renewal of the registration of any Trade Mark during the relevant
Term, the Licensee may do so but subject, without limitation, to the provisions
of clauses 8 and 10.  In this case the Licensor will promptly
reimburse the Licensee for the amount of the renewal fee.

 

12.2                     Licensee to Provide
Assistance

The Licensee will (and will procure that any other member of the
Licensee Group will) promptly on request of the Licensor do all things
reasonably required by the Licensor (at the reasonable expense of the
Licensor), to register in New Zealand in the name of the Licensor (or its
nominee) any applications for registration of any of the Trade Marks and of any
trade marks similar to, or which incorporate any of, the Trade Marks.

 

12.3                     Colour Green Applications

The Licensor may progress any of its applications for the registration
of the Colour Green Trade Marks (Colour
Green Applications) (or not do so) as it sees fit, provided that if
the Licensee requests the Licensor to do so, the Licensor will at the
reasonable cost of the Licensee take reasonable steps to try to register the
Colour Green Applications (but the Licensor has no obligation to do so if the
prospects of successfully registering the Colour Green Applications for a
reasonable cost are considered by the Licensor on reasonable grounds to be
unlikely).

reproduction or copying of Lloyds TSB Copyrights,

 

including where it adversely affects the Trade Marks (or the Licensee’s
use of them) (all of which together with any defence of any of these things are
referred to in this Agreement as “Infringement”).

 

The provisions of the Sixth Schedule will
apply to all instances of Infringement.

 

13.2                     Black Horse Brands

17.5                     Other Disputes

Where a dispute arises in relation to this Agreement other than a

from the Courts and except for a dispute in respect of this clause).

 

17.6                     Submission to Jurisdiction

THIRD SCHEDULE

Quality Standards

(Clause
6.4)

 

The Licensee must:

 

(a)                            ensure that the Trade Marks
are not used in a manner, or for or in connection with Products and Services
that by their nature or quality, or the manner in which they are provided or
supplied, would materially lessen the level of goodwill, reputation and
standing which attached to the Trade Marks immediately prior to the
Commencement Date;

 

(b)                           in a manner and to an extent
generally consistent with customs and practices adopted by the Purchaser and
all or some of the other New Zealand banking industry generally, comply in all
material respects with all relevant laws and other directives, codes or other
requirements of Governmental Authorities (as defined in the Share Sale
Agreement) with whose directives, codes or other requirements New Zealand
registered banks customarily comply, where failure to so comply with such laws,
directives, codes or other requirements would materially adversely affect the
goodwill, reputation and standing of the Trade Marks;

 

(c)                            not do or fail to do
anything which may in a material manner discredit the Trade Marks or endanger
the value, validity or goodwill of the Trade Marks to a material degree or
bring the Trade Marks, the Licensee or the Licensor into disrepute; and

 

(d)                           (within the context of the
other provisions of this Agreement) treat the Trade Marks with at least the
same care as the Licensee would if it were the owner of the Trade Marks.

FOURTH SCHEDULE

Quality Control Requirements

(Clause
6.4)

 

Annual
Report

1                                    The Licensee shall
provide the Licensor no later than 30 November each year during the
Term (other than in 2003) with a Quality Control Report certified by a senior
executive of the Licensee (being of a similar position as and with similar
authority to the Lloyds TSB Brand Manager) as being true and correct in respect
of the immediately preceding twelve month period (each such period, an annual reporting period).

 

Inspection

2                                    At such reasonable
intervals as the Licensor may determine (but unless the Licensor considers on
reasonable grounds that the Licensee has committed a material breach of the
Quality Standards, the Brand Standards or this Agreement, not more than once in
any year), upon request by the Licensor, the Licensee shall permit the Licensor
to inspect:

 

(a)                           samples of any products upon
which any of the Trade Marks appears;

 

(b)                          copies of printed
advertising, point of sales materials, and other promotional materials on which
any of the Trade Marks is or has been used;

 

(c)                           applicable web-sites upon
which any of the Trade Marks appear;

 

(d)                          copies of materials on which
any of the Trade Marks is or has been used;

 

(e)                           copies of radio, television
or other audio visual promotional materials in which any of the Trade Marks is
or has been featured;

 

(f)                             any business premises used
by the Licensee in producing goods or providing services in connection with the
Trade Marks;

 

(g)                          other information and
materials relevant to determining whether the Licensee has met the quality
standards specified in the Third
Schedule of this Agreement,

 

and the Licensee shall provide reasonable access to personnel,
operation and records reasonably necessary for the purposes of:

 

(h)                          confirming that the Licensee
has materially complied with the Quality Standards in the period to which the
relevant report relates;

 

(i)                              confirming that use of
the Trade Marks by the Licensee has materially complied with the relevant Brand
Standards; and

 

41

 

(j)                              satisfying itself that
the manner in which the Trade Marks are being used by the Licensee is
materially consistent with the Licensee’s obligations under this Agreement.

 

Notice
of Non-Compliance

3                                    If it appears (in
the Licensor’s reasonable opinion) from any Quality Control Report submitted by
the Licensee to the Licensor pursuant to paragraph 1
of this Schedule, any information available to the Licensor, or any inspection
conducted by the Licensor under paragraph 2
of this Schedule that:

 

(a)                           the Licensee has not
materially complied with Quality Standards in the period to which the relevant
report relates;

 

(b)                          use of any Trade Mark by the
Licensee fails to materially comply with the relevant Brand Standard; or

 

(c)                           use by the Licensee of any
Trade Mark has failed to comply with this Agreement in a material respect;

 

(or that any of these things are likely to have occurred, likely to
occur or threatened) the Licensor may provide the Licensee with a written
notice (Compliance Notice)
specifying why the Licensee has failed to meet the relevant requirements.

 

Rectification
Plan

4                                    The Licensee must
then submit a rectification plan to the Licensor within 45 days of receipt
of a Compliance Notice from the Licensor (Rectification
Plan).  The Rectification
Plan may be submitted in conjunction with a proposed change to the applicable
Quality Standards submitted or the applicable Brand Standards in accordance
with paragraph 9 of this Fourth Schedule and the Rectification
Plan must include a period of time during which the relevant matters will be
rectified.

 

Meeting

5                                    The Licensee and
the Licensor shall meet promptly following submission of the Rectification Plan
to discuss the acceptability of the plan and, if there has been a proposal to
change any of the applicable Quality Standards or the applicable Brand
Standards, the acceptability of that change.

 

Implementation
of Rectification Plan

6                                    If the Licensee and
the Licensor reach agreement on an appropriate Rectification Plan (having
regard to any change which may be agreed to any applicable Quality Standards or
the applicable Brand Standards) within 30 days of submission of the proposed
Rectification Plan, the Licensee shall rectify its performance in accordance
with the requirements of the Rectification Plan.

 

42

 

No
Agreement on Rectification Plan

7                                    If the Licensee and
Licensor fail to reach agreement on an appropriate Rectification Plan within 30
days of submission of the proposed Rectification Plan, having acted in good
faith in attempting to do so, the Licensee shall restore its performance to a
level satisfying the required Quality Standards (or any agreed modified Quality
Standards), the relevant Brand Standard or otherwise to comply with this
Agreement, as the case may be, as soon as reasonably practicable and in any
event no later than the annual reporting period after the period in which the
meeting held in accordance with paragraph 5
of this Fourth Schedule occurs.

 

Quality
Control Event

8                                    If:

 

(a)                           the Licensee fails to submit
a Rectification Plan to the Licensor within the 45 day period provided for
in paragraph 4 of this Fourth Schedule; or

 

(b)                           (i)                              the Licensee fails to
rectify its performance in accordance with the requirements of the
Rectification Plan agreed to by the Licensor pursuant to paragraph 6 of this Fourth Schedule;

 

(ii)                            a Rectification Plan has
not been agreed within 30 days of submission of the proposed Rectification Plan
to the Licensor and the Licensee fails to restore its performance to a level
satisfying the applicable Quality Standards (or any agreed modified Quality
Standards or any agreed modified Brand Standards), the relevant Brand Standard
or the relevant provisions of this Agreement, as the case may be, as soon as
reasonably practicable and in any event no later than the annual reporting
period after the period in which meeting held in accordance with paragraph [5] of this Fourth Schedule occurs; or

 

(c)                             the Licensee commits a
material breach of the Quality Standards not capable of remedy that in the
reasonable opinion of the Licensor has or is likely to have a significant and
sustained adverse affect on the Trade Marks and the Licensor (or either of
them);

 

then a Quality Control Event will be deemed to have occurred.

 

General

9                                    All obligations of
the Licensor under this Fourth
Schedule shall be complied with in a professional manner.

FIFTH SCHEDULE

Quality Control Report

(Fourth
Schedule)

 

Introduction

1                                    The purpose of the
Quality Control Report is to confirm whether or not the Licensee has complied
with:

 

(a)                           the Quality Standards; and

 

(a)                           the Brand Standards

 

in relation to the use of the Trade Marks.

 

2                                    To achieve this
purpose, each Quality Control Report required pursuant to paragraph 1 of the Fourth Schedule shall include two
parts.  This Schedule provides an
outline of the required content of each part.

 

Part
A: Compliance of Products and Services with Quality Standards

3                                    The Quality Control
Report must confirm the compliance by the Licensee in meeting the Quality
Standards.

 

4                                    The Quality Control
Report must also report in detail on any failure to comply in a material
respect with any applicable Quality Standard and shall provide an assessment of
the seriousness and potential impact of any failure identified.

 

Part
B: Brand Use

5                                    The Quality Control
Report must confirm the compliance by the Licensee with any applicable Brand
Standards in relation to use of the Trade Marks.

 

6                                    The report will
summarise any new uses of the Trade Marks since the date of the last Quality
Report (or, in the case of the Quality Report due by
30 November 2004, since the Commencement Date).

 

7                                    The Quality Control
Report must also identify any material misuses of the Trade Marks as well as
providing an assessment of the seriousness and potential impact of any misuses
identified.

 

8                                    Without limitation
to clause 6.2 of this
Agreement, the Quality Control Report must identify if for any continuous
period of 30 months the Licensee or other member of the Licensee Group has not
made genuine use of a Trade Mark.

 

Further Information

9                                    After providing
each Quality Report and at other times on reasonable notice in writing, the
Licensee will promptly provide to the Licensor further information:

 

44

 

(a)                           relevant to assessing its
compliance with the Quality Standards and Brand Standards in the period to
which the Quality Report relates; or

 

(b)                          to expand upon or clarify any
matter touched on by the Quality Report,

 

on the reasonable request of the Licensor.

 

45

 

SIXTH SCHEDULE

Infringement

(Clause 13)

 

Selection of Lead Party

1                                    Within 10 days of
receipt of the first notice in respect of a particular infringement (Infringement),
the parties must advise each other whether they wish to take the lead role (Lead)
in pursuing the Infringement on the terms of the provisions in this
Schedule.  For the avoidance of doubt, a
reference to “pursue” or “pursuing the Infringement” includes references to the
defence or protection of a Trade Mark from challenge by a third party or action
taken by the New Zealand Trade Mark Commissioner.  Nothing in this paragraph 1 shall prevent a party
taking urgent interlocutory action if the circumstances of the Infringement
justify those steps.

 

2                                    The party wishing
to Lead will Lead unless both parties wish to Lead, in which case the Licensor
will Lead.

 

Lead Party Rights and
Obligations

3                                    The Lead party:

 

3.1                          may at its cost pursue the
Infringement by litigation or any other means and will have the sole right to
negotiate and settle the Infringement provided that if the lead party is the
Licensee it may only negotiate and settle the Infringement (or admit liability)
with the prior written consent of the Licensor (not to be unreasonably
withheld); and

 

3.2                          must, if it is Licensee, keep
Licensor and, if it is Licensor, keep Licensee (Reserve party)  fully
informed on the progress of the actions in respect of the Infringement,
including providing copies of all relevant documents, opinions and
correspondence.  An acceptable method of
utilisingcommercially sensitive confidential trade information  will
be agreed, and failing agreement, will be determined by the Expert pursuant to
the provisions of this Schedule.

 

Reserve Party Obligations

4                                    Each Reserve party
will co-operate fully, including taking in its own name any proceedings, or
joining with the Lead party in any proceedings, for Infringement or other
relevant proceedings if called upon by the Lead party to do so. The Lead party
will reimburse the reasonable costs incurred by the Reserve party in complying
with this paragraph 4.

 

Swapping the Lead and other
Disputed Issues

5                                    If:

 

5.1                            a Reserve party believes
that:

 

46

 

(a)                          the Lead party is failing to
actively pursue the Infringement in a prudent and appropriate manner;

 

(b)                         pursuit of the Infringement is
not justified due to the low chances of obtaining a successful outcome (whether
by way of settlement or otherwise) or where the Reserve Party is the Licensor,
because of a potential material adverse affect on the Trade Marks or other
trade marks of Lloyds TSB Group in New Zealand or elsewhere (or Lloyds TSB
Group’s rights in or to them); or

 

5.2                            either party has a dispute
about the interpretation or application of the provisions of this Schedule,

 

then the aggrieved party may give written notice of the dispute to the
other party naming a senior barrister or other person of appropriate experience
to determine the dispute (Expert). 
If the parties cannot agree on an Expert within 10 days then, the Expert
will be appointed by the President of the Auckland District Law Society.  Before commencing the appointment, the
Expert must sign a binding confidentiality agreement with each of the Licensee
and Licensor to ensure that information disclosed or obtained by the Expert is
only used for the purposes of assessing the dispute and coming to a
determination.

 

6                                    The Expert will
determine the dispute in a manner which the Expert considers appropriate acting
fairly, impartially and in good faith having due regard to the merits of each
party’s position, and will:

 

6.1                            act as an Expert not as an
arbitrator and the provisions of the Arbitration Act 1996 shall not apply;

 

6.2                            determine his or her own
procedure;

 

6.3                            deliver a written opinion
to both parties determining the dispute within 20 days of being appointed; and

 

6.4                            determine, on a merit
basis, the proportions in which the parties will meet his or her costs.

 

7                                    If the Expert
determines that:

 

(a)                         the Lead party is failing to
actively pursue the Infringement in a prudent and appropriate manner; or

 

(b)                         pursuit of the Infringement is
not justified due to the low chances of obtaining a successful outcome (whether
by way of settlement or otherwise) or where the Reserve Party is the Licensor,
because of a potential material adverse effect on the Trade Marks or, other
trade marks 

 

47

 

of Lloyds TSB Group in New Zealand or elsewhere (or Lloyds TSB Group’s
rights in or to them);

 

then within 5 days of receiving the determination, the relevant Reserve
party that initiated the dispute notification may by written notice to the Lead
party elect to take the lead role in pursuing the Infringement and that Reserve
party will become the Lead party for the purposes of this Agreement from the
date that the incumbent Lead party receives the notice.

 

8                                    The parties will
comply with the reasonable directions of the Expert and the Expert’s
determination of the dispute will be final and binding on the parties.

 

Allocating any Proceeds

9                                    Notwithstanding any
judgement or settlement, as between the parties any award, damages, account of
profits  or monies recovered or
resulting from any action or proceeding referred to in this
Schedule (including by way of settlement) (Payment) will be payable to
the Lead party and any Payment received by the Reserve party must, promptly
following its receipt, be paid to the Lead party without deduction or set off
of any kind.

 

10                              The Payment will be
applied by the Lead party as follows:

 

First:  The Lead party’s legal costs (on a solicitor
and client basis) and all other direct costs incurred in pursuing the
Infringement, including any payments made to the Reserve party;

 

Second:  Direct damages
suffered by the Lead party to the extent established in court or if no
judgement is obtained, then as reasonably provable by the Lead party as being
caused by the Infringement;

 

Third:  Payment to the
Reserve party for amounts claimable by the Reserve party under the two
categories above as if references to the Lead party were references to the Reserve
party;

 

Fourth:
 Payment of any
amount reasonably identifiable as being an account of profits made by the
perpetrator of the Infringement in respect of an Infringement directly relating
to the Lead party;

 

Fifth:
 Payment to the
Reserve party of 50% of any remaining amount of the Payment.

Dispute Resolution

(Clause
6.4)

 

1                                A party to this
Agreement may not commence any court proceedings relating to any Dispute unless
it has complied with the following paragraphs of this Schedule except
where the party seeks urgent interlocutory relief.

 

2                                A party to this

Agreement must give written notice to the other party to this agreement
specifying the nature of the Dispute (Notice).

 

3                                On receipt of the

4                                If the parties do not
agree within seven (21) days of receipt of the Notice (or such period as agreed
in writing by them) as to:

exercise such powers, to be exceeded or breached or will constitute or result
in any breach of any agreement, law, requirement or regulation;

 

(c)                                  its obligations

deemed to repeat the representations and warranties set out in Clause 7.1
hereof on each day on which any amount remains owing to the Bank hereunder or
for as long as the Bank is under any obligation to make the Facility available
in each case as if made at each such time with reference to the facts and
circumstances then existing.

11                                    Change in Circumstances

 

11.1                           If it
shall become impossible or unlawful under any applicable law or regulation for
the Bank to continue the Facility or any part thereof or to maintain or give
effect to its obligations under this letter, the Bank and the Borrower shall
forthwith attempt to renegotiate with a view to continuing the Facility in a
lawful manner, but if, after a period of 21 days from the giving by the Bank of
a notice to the Borrower requiring such renegotiation to take place, the Bank
and the Borrower shall fail to reach agreement, the Bank may, by notice to the
Borrower, declare that its obligations to

 

11

 

make or maintain the Facility or the part thereof affected by such
illegality shall be terminated forthwith and the Facility (or part thereof)
affected shall be repaid on the expiry of the Interest Period(s) or other
period(s) then applicable thereto, or together with any other amounts then
arising in connection with this letter on the expiry of such lesser period as
the Bank shall certify as being required for prepayment under the relevant law
or regulation.

 

11.2                           If in relation to any
drawing and by reason of changes affecting the London interbank market, the
Bank is unable to make any determination of the interest rate applicable
thereto pursuant to this letter, the interest rate applicable to such drawing
shall be calculated by reference instead to the rate per annum which is the
cost to the Bank of funding such drawing from whatever sources it may at its
option select provided that, if the Bank is unable to obtain the required funds
from any source, it shall not be obliged to make available such drawing to the
Borrower.

13                                    Payments and Tax

 

13.1                           All
repayments of principal and payments of interest and other amounts due to the
Bank hereunder shall be made in freely transferable and immediately available
funds to such branch or agent for the account of the Bank and by such hour
local time in the place of payment appropriate to the relevant currency as the
Bank shall from time to time direct.

 

13.2                           All
payments shall be made free and clear of any set-off, counterclaim,
restrictions or condition whatsoever, and without any deduction in respect of
taxes, levies, fees, duties, imposts, charges or withholdings of any nature now
or hereafter imposed.  In the event that
the Borrower is compelled to make any such deduction, as aforesaid, it will pay
to the Bank in the same manner and by the same time such additional amounts as
may be necessary in order that the actual amounts received by the Bank shall
equal the amounts which would have been received if no such deduction had been
made.  In such event the Borrower shall
provide the Bank within 30 days of the date of such payment with a
certificate evidencing the payment of such tax or other deduction.

 

13.3                           The
Borrower shall, on demand pay to the Bank an amount equal to the loss,
liability or cost which the Bank determines (acting reasonably and in good
faith) will be or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered for on account of
a Tax by the Bank in respect of this letter, provided that, this clause shall
not apply with respect to any Tax assessed on the Bank under the law of the
jurisdiction in which the Bank is incorporated if that Tax is imposed on or
calculated by reference to the net income of the Bank or to the extent to which
a loss, liability or cost is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 13.2
above.  For the purpose hereof “Tax”
means any tax, levy, impost, duty or other charge or withholding of a similar
nature (including any penalty or interest payable in connection with any
failure to pay or any delay in paying any of the same).

14                                    Assignment

 

14.1                           This
letter shall be binding upon and shall inure only to the benefit of the Bank
and the Borrower and their respective successors and assigns, provided that the
Borrower shall not assign any of its rights or transfer any of its obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of the Bank.  For the avoidance of doubt, a person who is
not a party to this letter has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third
Parties) Act 1999 to enforce or to enjoy the benefit of any term of this
Agreement.

 

14.2                           The
Borrower agrees that the Bank may at any time or times (i) transfer the
Facility to any other office of the Bank or (ii) assign and/or transfer all or
any part of its rights and/or obligations hereunder or grant any participation
in any such rights and/or obligations to any other member of the Lloyds TSB
group, or (iii) subject to the prior written consent of the Borrower (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) assign and/or transfer all
or any part of its rights and/or obligations hereunder or grant any
participation in any such rights and/or obligations to any other bank or
financial institution, PROVIDED THAT (a) if the assignee, transferee or
participant (each party being a “Third Party”) is located other than in the
United Kingdom and as a result of circumstances existing at the date of
assignment, transfer or participation, the Borrower would be obliged to make a
payment to the Third Party in respect of any increased costs or taxes arising
from such transfer then the Third Party shall only be entitled to receive
payment in such respect to the same extent as the Bank would have been if the
assignment, transfer or participation had not taken place; and (b) no transfer
of the Bank’s obligations shall be effective until such time as the Third Party
shall have delivered to the Borrower an undertaking to be bound by the terms of
this letter as if named as the lender hereunder (following receipt of which the
Borrower shall only look to the Third Party in respect of that portion of the
Bank’s obligations assumed by the Third Party).

 

14.3                           
Members of the Lloyds TSB group may disclose any information about the Borrower
among themselves and to their auditors for the time being.  Information may not be transferred further,
including to any potential assignee, transferee or participant of the Facility
(or any part thereof), or to any other bank or financial institution with which
the Bank is proposing to enter into, or has entered into, any agreement
pursuant to this clause, or otherwise (including for marketing purposes)
without the prior written consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably
withheld) unless such information is in the public domain or unless the Bank is
required by law or applicable regulation so to do.

 

15                                    Miscellaneous

 

15.1                           No
delay or omission by the Bank in exercising any of its rights hereunder shall
operate or be construed as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such right prevent any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right.

 

15

 

15.2                           Without
prejudice to the Bank’s rights under any set-off arrangements the Bank may at
any time whether before or after any demand hereunder for payment without
notice to the Borrower apply any moneys standing to the credit of the Borrower
on any account and whether subject to notice or not and whether denominated in
USD or in any other currency in or towards satisfaction of any liabilities of
the Borrower under this letter.

 

15.3                           If the due date for any
payment or the last day of any Interest Period would otherwise fall on a
non-Business Day, the effective date shall be the next succeeding Business Day.

 

15.4                           All calculations in respect
of interest (including commitment interest) due to the Bank under the Facility
shall be on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a 360 day year
or a 365 day year (as in the reasonable opinion of the Bank is market practice
for the calculation of interest in the relevant currency).

 

15.5                           In this letter reference to
(a) a time of day is a reference to London time unless otherwise stated, and
(b) the London interbank offered rate shall mean and include any rate replacing
that rate from time to time.

 

16                                    Governing Law

 

16.1                           This
letter shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the English law
and the Borrower hereby agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of the English
courts.  This shall not prejudice the
Bank’s right to take action against the Borrower in any other jurisdiction
where proceedings may lawfully be commenced.

 

16.2                           The
Borrower hereby agrees that any writ, judgment or other notice of process shall
be sufficiently and effectively served on it (a) if delivered in connection
with any suit, action or proceeding in England to NBNZ International Limited,
London Branch and for this purpose shall be effective if delivered to or left
at its registered office for the time being in London, (b) if a copy thereof is
mailed by registered or certified airmail, postage prepaid, to the address for
the time being for the service of notices on the Borrower pursuant to
Clause 12.2 hereof, or (c) if served in any other manner permitted by law.
