more intermediaries, owns or controls or is owned or controlled by or is under common
ownership or control with the person and, in relation to a family trust means any beneficiary
(ascertained or discretionary) of that trust;

who are not "interested" for the purposes of the Companies Act 1993;

"Restricted Period" means the period from the date of Completion and ending on the first
Business Day after delivery to the NZX for public release of the annual report for the Group
(containing audited Group financial statements) for the year ended 31 March 2019;
"Shares" means the ordinary shares of the Company registered in the name of each
Shareholder as at the date of Completion;

delegate of the Special Division; and
"Takeovers Code" means the Takeovers Code set out in the schedule to the Takeovers
Regulations 2000, as amended or replaced from time to time.
2. ESCROW
2.1 Each Shareholder unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to the Non-Interested
Directors, the Company and the Special Division that, subject to clause 3, it will not:
(a) sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of, or offer or agree to sell, transfer
assign or otherwise dispose of, its right and title to, and beneficial interest in, the
Shares in the Restricted Period; or
(b) do, or omit to do, any act if the act or omission would have the effect of transferring
effective ownership or control of the Shares in the Restricted Period,
without first giving not less than five Business Days' written notice to, and obtaining the prior
written approval (at their respective discretions but subject to clause 3) of each of the Non-
Interested Directors, the Company and the Special Division.
2.2 The right of a Shareholder to deal with the Shares is also subject to any other restrictions
which may be applicable, including under the NZX Main Board/Debt Market Listing Rules
and the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.
3. EXCEPTIONS
3.1 Transfer to Affiliates: Notwithstanding the restrictions set out in clause 2.1 of this deed, a
Shareholder may transfer all or part of the Shares to an Affiliate, provided that the Affiliate
enters into a restricted security deed with the Company in relation to the Shares transferred
on the same terms as this deed for the remainder of the Restricted Period.
3.2 Offer under Takeovers Code and Schemes of Arrangement: Clause 2.1 of this deed will
not apply in relation to any full or partial takeover offer made under the Takeovers Code or
similar scheme or arrangement, provided that any such takeover offer or similar scheme or
arrangement is not made, whether directly or indirectly, by a Shareholder or any Affiliate of
either Shareholder. For clarity, if a full or partial takeover offer is made or proposed to be
made during the Restricted Period, directly or indirectly by a person who is not a
Shareholder or an Affiliate of it, then a Shareholder may sell, or agree, or offer to sell all or
any part of the Shares to the offeror under that offer.
3648167 v4 3
3.3 Security Interest Permitted: Notwithstanding clause 2.1 of this deed, a Shareholder may
create, or agree to create, a mortgage, charge or other form of security interest over or in
respect of all or part of its Shares in favour of a bona fide lender to the Shareholder, provided
that the lender enters into a restricted security deed with the Company in relation to the
relevant Shares on the same terms as this deed, to take effect from the enforcement of the
security interest, for the remainder of the Restricted Period.
4. GENERAL
4.1 Specific Performance: Each Shareholder acknowledges that damages alone would be an
inadequate remedy for breach of its obligations under this deed and the appropriate
remedies for such a breach will include orders for specific performance, injunctive relief, any
other equitable relief and/or damages.
4.2 Contract and Commercial Law Act 2017: The provisions of this deed are for the benefit of,
and are intended to be enforceable by, any of the Non-Interested Directors, the other
shareholders of the Company and the Special Division under Part 2, Subpart 1 of the
Contract and Commercial Law Act 2017.
4.3 Severability: If a court or administrative body decides that part of this deed is illegal, void or
cannot be enforced, that decision will not make the rest of this deed invalid.
4.4 No effect: This deed will be void and of no effect if the Company's shares are no longer
listed on the NZX Main Board.
4.5 Amendment or Termination: Any variation to, or termination of, this deed requires the
written agreement of all parties to this deed and the Company shall not agree to any
amendment or termination without prior written approval of the Special Division. The
Company will provide the Special Division with notice immediately if it becomes aware of a
breach or a likely breach of this deed.
4.6 Governing Law: This deed is governed by, and construed in accordance with, New Zealand
law and the parties agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the New Zealand courts.

shall be deemed to have been duly given:

email address from the sender's information system (as shown in a confirmation of
sending delivery report from the sender's information system).
4.8 Counterpart execution: This deed may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
