associate, trustee or financier.

5.2.2 In this clause 5, a reference to the Business is to the business of the Company and its

Subsidiaries as at the date when the Nicsam Trustees stop being a shareholder of the

Company (if applicable).

5.3. Prohibited activities.

5.3.1 Each of the Nicsam Trustees and Martin undertakes that it will not:

(a) engage in a business or an activity that is:

(i) the same or similar to the Business or any material part of the Business

within New Zealand; and

(ii) in competition with the Business or any material part of the Business in New

Zealand;

(b) solicit, canvass, approach or accept an approach from a person who was at any

time during the six months ending on the date when the Nicsam Trustees stop

being a shareholder or a customer of the Company with a view to obtaining their

custom in a business that is the same or similar to the Business and is in

competition with the Business;

(c) interfere with the relationship between the Company and its customers,

employees or suppliers; and

(d) induce or help to induce an employee of the Company to leave their employment.

5.4. Duration of prohibition. The undertakings in clause 5.3 begin on the date of this deed and end

three years after the date when the Nicsam Trustees stop being a shareholder of the Company.

5.5. Geographic application of prohibition. The undertakings in clause 5.3 apply throughout New

Zealand.

5.6. Interpretation. Clauses 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5 have effect together as if they consisted of separate

provisions, each being severable from the other. Each separate provision results from combining

each undertaking in clause 5.3, with each period in clause 5.4, and combining each of those

combinations with each area in clause 5.5. If any of those separate provisions is invalid or

unenforceable for any reason, the invalidity or unenforceability does not affect the validity or

enforceability of any of the other separate provisions or other combinations of the separate

provisions of clauses 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5.

5.7. Exceptions. This clause 5 does not restrict the Nicsam Trustees or Martin from:

5.7.1 performing any employment or independent contractor agreement with the Company or

its Subsidiaries;

5.7.2 holding 5% or less of the shares of a listed company; and

5.7.3 recruiting a person through a recruitment agency (except if the agency targets employees

of the Company) or in a response to a newspaper, web page or other public employment

advertisement.

5.8. Acknowledgments. Each of the Nicsam Trustees and Martin acknowledges that:

5.8.1 all the prohibitions and restrictions in this clause 5 are reasonable in the circumstances

and necessary to protect the goodwill of the Business;

5.8.2 damages are not an adequate remedy if the Nicsam Trustees or Martin breaches this

clause 5; and

5.8.3 the Company (or its shareholders) may apply for injunctive relief if:

(a) the Nicsam Trustees or Martin breaches or threatens to breach this clause 5; or

(b) it believes the Nicsam Trustees or Martin is likely to breach this clause 5.

6. Notices

6.1. Notices. Every notice, consent, approval or other communication (each a Notice) under this deed

shall be in writing and deemed validly given if delivered or sent to the physical or email addresses
