Project Agreement dated 24 May 2011 between Crown Fibre Holdings Limited and Telecom Corporation of New Zealand Limited (the NIPA) 

CFH and TCNZ agreed to extend certain dates for agreeing and approving the Initial Network Deployment Plan by letter dated 24 June 2011. 

CFH and TCNZ have been working diligently towards agreeing the Initial Network Deployment Plan for the period to 30 June 2012. While good progress
has been made by each party’s respective teams, further work is required to complete the Initial Network Deployment Plan. 
 This letter
documents CFH’s approval of certain aspects of the Initial Network Deployment Plan, and CFH and TCNZ’s agreement to further extend the dates for finalising the Initial Network Deployment Plan by amendment to the NIPA in accordance with
clause 22.9. 
 In order for TCNZ to progress the detailed design of the initial deployment areas, CFH approves: 

 

	a)	the list of deployment areas set out in Annexure 1 (as modified to reflect TCNZ actual build area boundaries), for the initial deployment period to 30 June 2012;
and 

  

	b)	agrees to reduce the Minimum Annual Build Commitment Performance Milestone (MABPM) set out in clause 2.2(e) of Schedule 3 of the NIPA for FY12 from 52,000 to
43,000 Premises to be Passed. This is the estimated number of premises within the Deployment Areas set out in Annexure 1. To the extent the actual number of premises within the Deployment Areas set out in Annexure 1 falls short of 52,000 Premises,
TCNZ agrees that it will use reasonable endeavours to pass additional Premises within Priority 1 Contingency Deployment Areas set out in Annexure 2 to target 52,000 Premises Passed in FY12. Any premises within the agreed Priority 1 Contingency
Deployment Areas set out in Annexure 2 that are not Passed in FY12 will be Passed as additional Premises in the first 6 months of the FY13 deployment period. For the avoidance of doubt, the cumulative Minimum Number of Premises to be Passed for the
FY12 and FY13 periods is 149,000. 

 CFH’s approval of the initial deployment areas is conditional on TCNZ offering to
provide Business Services in the Blue Zone areas (address counts of which are listed in Annexure 3) according to the agreed UFB Price Book. Business Services are services that are substantially similar to the specified services (key difference is
provisioning SLA’s) that have a price point of greater than or equal to $175 per month. 

 The Premises numbers in column four of Annexure 1 and Annexure 2 are estimates based on Statistics New
Zealand Area Unit premise data provided by CFH. TCNZ will confirm the actual number of premises to be Passed (based on TCNZ actual build Area Unit boundaries) on completion of the detailed design stage for each area unit. The Initial Deployment Plan
will be modified as detailed designs are completed to reflect the actual numbers of Premises per the detailed design and this will allow milestones to be accurately represented and fairly measured. While this will not give rise to a further
variation to the MABPM for FY12, TCNZ agrees that it is required to pass all premises within the deployment areas set out in Annexure 1 and Annexure 2 by 31 December 2012. 
 TCNZ and CFH agree that all remaining elements of the Initial Network Deployment Plan (including without limitation the milestones and the order of area unit deployment) will be agreed by the parties by
19 August 2011, with CFH having final approval of those elements of the Initial Network Deployment Plan as set out in clause 2.1(a) of Schedule 3 of the N1PA. CFH will notify Telecom of such finalised elements no later than 26 August 2011.

 For the avoidance of doubt, CFH in exercising its final approval under clause 2.1(a) of Schedule 3 of the NIPA will not extend to changing
the list of deployment areas set out in Annexure 1 or the Minimum Annual Build Commitment Performance Milestone for FY12 as varied by this letter. 
 CFH and TCNZ agree that: 
  

	a)	the NIPA amendments set out in this letter will be effective as of and from the date this letter is countersigned by Telecom; 

 

	b)	the NIPA as amended by this letter, and the respective rights and obligations of TCNZ and CFH under the NIPA, will continue in full force and effective;

  

	c)	this letter is governed by and must be construed in accordance with the laws of New Zealand; and 

 

	d)	any capitalised term defined in the NIPA has the same meaning when used in this fetter. 

 Please countersign and return the enclosed copy of this letter to confirm TCNZ’s agreement to these amendments to the NIPA. 
 Yours sincerely,

any other party. CFH will implement such procedures as are reasonably necessary to manage conflicts of interest arising between the interests of TCNZ in non-disclosure of Confidential Information under this clause 5.1 and the interests of CFH in

	 	(b)	General exceptions

notice of the required disclosure promptly upon receipt of notice of the required disclosure; 

  

	 	(iii)	on a confidential basis to any Government Authority (including a Government Authority outside New Zealand) for the purpose of obtaining any ruling, approval or consent
in relation to Structural Separation; 

  

	 	(iv)	that was lawfully known to the recipient prior to the date it was received; 

 

	 	(v)	that becomes available to the recipient from a source other than a party to this Deed provided that the recipient has no reason to believe such source is itself bound
by an obligation of confidence to the person that disclosed that information or is otherwise prohibited under law from disclosing such information; 

  

	 	(vi)	that has been or is independently developed by the recipient; 

  

	 	(vii)	to any Professional Adviser for the purposes of rendering professional services to a party and in relation to this Deed; 

 

	 	(viii)	to the extent that such disclosure is authorised by this Deed; or 

  
 6 

	 	(ix)	if such disclosure is approved for release with the prior written consent of the party from whom the Confidential Information is first received.

  

	5.2	Official Information Act 

If CFH receives a request pursuant to the Official Information Act 1982 that requests any Confidential Information of TCNZ (TCNZ
Confidential Information), CFH will consult with the Company with regard to the request prior to disclosure of any TCNZ Confidential Information. TCNZ acknowledges that the Official Information Act 1982 provides for responses to be made to
requests for information within stipulated time frames. CFH and TCNZ will use their reasonable endeavours to comply with those time frames and communicate and respond, each with the other, having regard to those time constraints.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, TCNZ’s obligations under this Deed will be limited to the Coverage Area (and
any additional coverage areas included in the Coverage Area in accordance with Schedule 9 (National Partnering) to the NIPA), and no obligation of TCNZ will have effect in relation to any area outside those areas. 

 

	6.2	Assignment 

  

	 	(a)	This Deed is binding on, and continues for the benefit of, the parties and their respective successors and permitted assignees or transferees. Except as provided in
this Deed, a party cannot assign or otherwise transfer the benefit of this Deed without the prior written consent of the other party (which consent may be withheld at each other party’s absolute discretion). 

 

	 	(b)	Nothing in clause 6.2(a) will apply to the assignment or transfer by: 

  

	 	(i)	CFH of its rights and obligations under this Deed to another Government Authority, the Crown, Ministers of the Crown, or a company wholly owned by any of those parties;
or 

  

	 	(ii)	TCNZ of its rights and obligations under this Deed to ServiceTel or a company wholly owned by ServiceTel.

negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise. 

  

	6.5	Exercise of rights and waivers 

 No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, a right of any party under this Deed will operate as a waiver of that right, nor will a single or partial exercise of a right preclude another or
further exercise of that right or the exercise of another right. No waiver by any party of its rights under this Deed is effective unless it is in writing signed by or on behalf of the party. 

 

	6.6	Partial invalidity 

 If
any provision of this Deed offends any law applicable to it and is as a consequence illegal, invalid or unenforceable then: 
  

	 	(a)	where the offending provision can be read down so as to give it a valid and enforceable operation of a partial nature, it must be read down to the minimum extent
necessary to achieve that result; and 

  

	 	(b)	in any other case the offending provision must be severed from this Deed, in which event the remaining provisions of this Deed operate as if the severed provision had
not been included. 

  

	6.7	Counterparts 

 This Deed
may be executed on the basis of an exchange of facsimile or scanned copies of this Deed and execution of this Deed by such means is to be a valid and sufficient execution. If this Deed consists of a number of signed counterparts, each is an original
and all of the counterparts together constitute the same document.

is governed by and must be construed in accordance with the laws of New Zealand.
