Network Infrastructure 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

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 xxxxxx.

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

Yours sincerely,
