LETTER OF AGREEMENT FOR THE SALE OF SHARES IN THE NEW ZEALAND REFINING
COMPANY LIMITED
1. SALE OF SHARES
1.1 The Sellers wish to sell up to 34,667,381 shares, as set out in Schedule 2, (Sale Shares) in
The New Zealand Refining Company Limited (the Company). Deutsche Craigs Limited, its
affiliates, successors and assigns, as appropriate (DCL) have agreed to use its best
endeavours to procure bids for, and manage the sale of, the Sale Shares (the Sale).
1.2 The Sellers must comply with the timetable set out in the Schedule to this agreement (the
Timetable) (which may be amended by the Sellers with the prior written consent of DCL).
All references to dates in this agreement have the same meaning as in the Timetable and
any defined terms not otherwise defined in this agreement but defined in the Timetable have

1.3 Subject to the terms of this agreement, each Seller agrees to sell its respective Sale Shares
in accordance with the Timetable and DCL will manage the Sale by inviting investors to bid
for the Sale Shares and use its best endeavours to procure purchasers for the Sale Shares
at prices:
(a) at or above a floor price for the Sale Shares in NZ$ (the Floor Price); and
(b) if agreed to by the parties, within a price range for the Sale Shares in NZ$ (the
Agreed Range),
such Floor Price and the Agreed Range (if applicable) to be agreed in writing between the
parties on or before the date of this agreement. Purchasers may include DCL’s related
companies (as that term is defined in the New Zealand Companies Act 1993, read as if the
expression company includes any body corporate, wherever incorporated, each a Related
Company). DCL must agree the initial list of potential cornerstone investors, and any
subsequent potential cornerstone investors, who will be invited to bid for the Sale Shares
with the Sellers in advance of any invitations being made.
1.4 DCL agrees to conduct a bookbuild process (Bookbuild) for the Sale Shares in accordance
with the Timetable. DCL must use its best endeavours to maximise the price of all the Sale
Shares that are to be sold under the Bookbuild. Following the Bookbuild, and prior to
allocation in accordance with clause 1.5, the sale price for the Sale Shares (Sale Price) and
the number of Sale Shares to be sold in the Sale (Sold Shares) will be determined by the
Sellers, after consultation with DCL. The parties agree that:
(a) the Sale Price will not be set:
(i) higher than the price at which DCL has received binding and bona fide offers
from purchasers for all of the Sale Shares which, in the reasonable opinion of
DCL, are capable of acceptance and will, if accepted, result in the formation of
binding agreements for the sale of all of the Sale Shares; or
(ii) lower than the Floor Price; and
(b) the number of Sold Shares will not be set lower than the number of Sale Shares in
respect of which DCL is successful in procuring purchasers at the Sale Price.
1.5 DCL agrees to provide the Sellers with regular updates in relation to the progress of the
Bookbuild, including:
(a) updates on the orders for the Sale Shares obtained throughout the Bookbuild;
(b) the names of the accounts placing orders;
(c) the details of the orders, including sizes of orders, coverage ratios at different prices,
the price of any orders and/or any price limits associated with such orders and the
time of the orders;
(d) such other information as reasonably requested by the Sellers from time to time.
3
20532242_15.docx
1.6 By no later than the Trade Date, the Sellers will determine after consultation with DCL
following the Bookbuild, the allocation of the Sold Shares to persons who have bid for Sale
Shares.
1.7 In consideration of DCL performing its obligations under this agreement, the Sellers agree to
pay to DCL, in their Respective Proportions, fees in accordance with clause 3. For the
purposes of this agreement, the "Respective Proportion" for each Seller equals the Sale
Shares being sold by the Seller divided by the total number of Sold Shares.
1.8 If requested by DCL, the Sellers will approach the Company promptly after this agreement is
signed and request a trading halt with a view to a trading halt being put in place as
contemplated by the Timetable.
1.9 DCL may perform its obligations through Deutsche Bank AG or any branch or Related
Company of DCL, provided that DCL will not engage any advisers without prior consultation
with the Sellers (other than Chapman Tripp, who the parties acknowledge have been
engaged as DCL’s legal advisers by DCL at its own cost).
2. SALE AND PURCHASE OF SALE SHARES
2.1 The sale of the Sold Shares will be effected on the Trade Date in accordance with the
Clearing and Settlement Rules, with settlement to follow on a T+2 basis (the date of
settlement will be referred to as the Settlement Date). Subject to clause 7, on the
Settlement Date, the Sellers shall take all steps reasonably necessary to procure settlement
and DCL shall arrange for the payment to each Seller, or as the Seller directs, of an amount
equal to the Sale Price multiplied by the number of Sold Shares sold by that Seller, less that
Sellers's Respective Proportion of any fees payable under clause 3 by transfer to the
account nominated by that Seller in writing for value (in cleared funds) against delivery of
the respective Sold Shares, provided that DCL shall have no obligation to arrange for
payment to the Sellers, and the Sellers shall have no obligation to deliver the relevant Sold
Shares, to the extent that the settlement of any Sold Shares is not successfully effected with
the purchaser of those Sold Shares by 4.30pm on the Settlement Date.
3. FEES
3.1 In consideration of performing its obligations under this agreement, DCL will be entitled fees
as the parties agree.
3.2 The fees payable under this clause 3 are payable in New Zealand dollars on receipt by the
Sellers of the proceeds of sale of the Sold Shares to which the fees relates and may be
retained by DCL from any amount received as agent, or deducted from any amount which it
is otherwise obliged to pay the Sellers, in respect of that sale.
4. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND UNDERTAKINGS

Shares (as set out alongside its name in Schedule 2) only at the date of this agreement and

if it were generally available to the market, to have a material effect on the price of

restrictions requirement of Regulation S.

6. INDEMNITY
6.1 The Sellers will keep DCL, Craigs Investment Partners Limited, Deutsche Bank AG and
their Related Companies and their respective directors, officers, partners, employees,
representatives and agents (Indemnified Parties) indemnified against any losses, damages,
liabilities, costs, claims, actions and demands (including any properly incurred expenses
arising in connection therewith) (Losses) sustained or incurred in connection with this
agreement, the Sale or any breach of this agreement by the Sellers (including any breach of
any of the above representations or warranties given by the Sellers) and will reimburse an
Indemnified Party for all reasonable and properly incurred out of pocket costs, charges and
expenses which it may properly pay or incur in connection with investigating, disputing or
defending in good faith and on reasonable grounds any such action, demand or claim for
which it is indemnified under this agreement.
6.2 The indemnity in clause 6.1 does not extend to and is not to be taken as an indemnity
against any Losses of an Indemnified Party to the extent those Losses result from:
(a) any fraud, recklessness, wilful misconduct or negligence of that Indemnified Party as
determined by a judgment of a Court of competent jurisdiction;
(b) any penalty or fine which the Indemnified Party is required to pay for any
contravention of any law; or
(c) any amount in respect of which the indemnity would be illegal, void or unenforceable
under applicable law as determined by a judgment of a Court of competent
jurisdiction; or
(d) each party paying its own out of pocket costs and expenses (including any advisers'
fees and bookbuild software usage costs) incurred by it in connection with this
agreement or the Sale.
6.3 If DCL becomes aware of any suit, action, investigation, proceedings, demand or claim in
respect of which an Indemnified Party wishes to claim for indemnification under the
indemnity contained in this clause 6, DCL must promptly notify the Sellers of the substance
of that matter. The failure of DCL to notify the Sellers pursuant to this clause will not release
the Sellers from any obligation or liability which they may have pursuant to this agreement
except that such liability will be reduced to the extent to which the amount the subject of the
indemnity under clause 6 has increased, as a result of the failure to so notify.
6.4 An Indemnified Party must not admit liability in respect of all or part of, or settle,
compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any
suit, action, investigation, proceeding, demand or claim to which the indemnity in clause 6.1
relates without the prior written consent of the Sellers, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld.
9
20532242_15.docx
6.5 The indemnity in clause 6.1 is a continuing obligation, separate and independent from the
other obligations of the parties under this agreement and survives termination or completion
of this agreement. It is not necessary for an Indemnified Party to incur expense or make
payment before enforcing that indemnity, provided always that DCL shall repay to the
Sellers all amounts received under the indemnity to the extent that such amount exceeds
the amount of any Losses actually incurred or paid by DCL.
6.6 The parties agree that, for the purposes of the Contracts (Privity) Act 1982, the indemnity in
clause 6.1 (as limited by clause 6.2) is intended to confer a benefit on, and be enforceable
by, each Indemnified Party (provided that this agreement may be varied by the parties to it
without the consent of any Indemnified Party).
7. TERMINATION EVENTS
7.1 Termination events
DCL may, without costs or liability, terminate its obligations under this agreement by giving
written notice to the Sellers at any time, up to and including, 10.00am on the Settlement
Date in any of the following circumstances:
(a) a Seller contravenes any applicable provisions of the FMCA or any other applicable
laws or regulations in New Zealand or otherwise or any requirement of the FMA or
the NZX, other than to the extent that the Seller has the benefit of a waiver or
exemption under applicable laws or a defence under section 261(1) of the FMCA in
relation to any such provision or regulation or requirement;
(b) the FMA issues or threatens to issue proceedings in relation to the Sale or
commences, or threatens to commence any inquiry or investigation in relation to the
Sale (other than in respect of the actions of DCL where such actions are not
contemplated by this agreement);
(c) the NZX suspends trading of ordinary shares in the Company on the NZX Main
Board, unless as contemplated by clause 1.8 or otherwise only as a consequence or

Company or the NZX removes the Company from the official list of NZX, or the NZX
announce any intention to do any of the foregoing;
(d) a Seller defaults in the performance of any of its obligations under this agreement; or
(e) a representation, warranty or undertaking given by a Seller in this agreement is not
true or correct,
provided that DCL may only terminate its obligations in any of the above circumstances if, in
its reasonable opinion, the circumstances or combinations thereof:
(f) have or would reasonably be expected to have, a material adverse effect on:
(i) the willingness of persons to purchase the Sale Shares; or
(ii) the price at which ordinary shares in the Company are traded on the NZX
Main Board; or
