AVAILABLE INFORMATION
To permit compliance with Rule 144A in connection with any resales or other transfers of Notes that
are "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144(a)(3) of the Securities Act, the Issuer has undertaken
in the Trust Deed to furnish, upon the request of a holder of such Notes or any beneficial interest
therein, to such holder or to a prospective purchaser designated by such holder or beneficial owner,
the information required to be delivered under Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act if, at the time
of the request, the Issuer is neither a reporting company under Section 13 or 15(d) of the U.S.
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), nor exempt from reporting
pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) thereunder.
SERVICE OF PROCESS AND ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
The Issuer and the Guarantor are corporations organised under the laws of New Zealand. All of the
respective officers and directors of the Issuer and the Guarantor named herein reside outside the
United States and all or a substantial portion of the assets of each of the Issuer and the Guarantor and
of their respective officers and directors are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not
be possible for investors to effect service of process outside New Zealand upon the Issuer or the
Guarantor or upon such persons, or to enforce judgments against them obtained in courts outside
New Zealand predicated upon civil liabilities of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, or
their respective directors and officers under laws other than New Zealand law, including any
judgment predicated upon U.S. federal securities laws. Each of the Issuer and the Guarantor has been
advised by Russell McVeagh, its New Zealand counsel, that there is doubt as to the enforceability in
New Zealand in original actions or in actions for enforcement of judgments of U.S. courts of civil
liabilities predicated solely upon the federal securities laws of the United States.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Drawdown Prospectus includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A
of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of
historical facts included in this Drawdown Prospectus, including, without limitation, those regarding
the Issuer's and the Guarantor's financial position, business strategy, plans and objectives of
management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements
involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results,
performance or achievements of the Issuer or the Guarantor, or industry results, to be materially
different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-
looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions regarding
the present and future business strategies of the Issuer or the Guarantor and the environment in
which they will operate in the future. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of
this Drawdown Prospectus. The Issuer and the Guarantor expressly disclaim any obligation or
undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained
herein to reflect any change in the expectations of the Issuer or the Guarantor with regard thereto or
any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
