Lodestar will charge WML the Service Charges plus GST (if any) for the provision of Services under this Agreement, except where service charge rates expire or are adjusted earlier, as indicated in the attached service schedules.

(d)

Lodestar may nominate expiry dates that occur earlier than the next Review Date where components of the Service Charges will be subject to renegotiation with third party service providers prior to the next Review Date.

(e)

Any disputes in relation to any increase in the Service Charges under clause 6.1(c) will be referred to an Independent Expert in accordance with clause 13.3, provided that:

		Lodestar will provide WML with distribution invoices by activity for all Service Charges relating to Services provided directly by Lodestar and/or procured from third party service providers under this Agreement during the invoice period.

If the Parties jointly determine that capital expenditure is required to capture the cost savings, the Parties will discuss and agree in writing whether any capital expenditure will be made and by whom (bearing in mind the principle that allocation of any capital expenditure should fairly reflect the allocation of benefit resulting from such initiative). In the event that the Parties cannot agree whether to make such capital expenditure and/or who should make it, then neither Party is obliged to incur any capital expenditure.

7.		TERMINATION

7.1.		Subject to clause 7.2, either Party may terminate this Agreement on not less than 3 months’ written notice to the other, provided that such notice may only be given following the first anniversary of the Commencement Date.

8.		CONSEQUENCES OF TERMINATION

8.1.		Upon termination of this Agreement, Lodestar will provide reasonable assistance to WML as WML may reasonably require to facilitate the transfer of the provision of the Services either back to WML, to its Customers or to an alternate service provider if nominated by WML or its Customers (in each case as directed by WML to Lodestar). The timing of such transfer will be as soon as practicable following written notice of termination and Lodestar will be entitled to charge WML for its reasonable costs in relation to providing such assistance.

8.2.

Termination of this Agreement will be without prejudice to:

(a)

the rights and obligations of the Parties which have accrued prior to termination; and

(b)

any of the provisions of this Agreement which are expressed to survive termination.

9.		FORCE MAJEURE

9.1.		Neither Party will be liable for any failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement where such failure is due to a Force Majeure Event, provided that the affected Party:

	(a)		promptly notifies the other Party of the cause arising;

	(b)		uses its reasonable endeavours to overcome or work around such cause and to minimise its effects; and

	(c)		uses its reasonable endeavours to resume performance of the obligation frustrated by such cause as soon as such cause has abated.

9.2.		Either Party may terminate this Agreement in whole or in part to the extent the other Party’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement is materially affected by a Force Majeure Event lasting more than 20 days.

11.3.		Other than in respect of WML’s obligation to pay all Service Charges, the Management Fee and any other fees or charges payable by WML pursuant to this Agreement, the liability of either Party under this Agreement shall be limited in any 12 month period commencing as from the Commencement Date to an amount equal to the Management Fee payable (exclusive of any GST, duties, levies or other taxes) by WML in the previous 12 month period pursuant to this Agreement, or where 12 months has not elapsed since the Commencement Date, then the Management Fee for one Year (exclusive of any GST, duties, levies or other taxes):

WML will reimburse Lodestar for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (e.g. the costs of independent cargo surveys, and any pre-agreed travel costs etc.) incurred in respect of making such claim and undertaking any settlement negotiations. For the avoidance of doubt, WML may, acting reasonably, conduct claims against and/or negotiate settlements with third party service providers as contemplated in this clause 11.5(b) directly; and

(c)

If Lodestar or WML, as applicable, is unsuccessful in negotiating a settlement as contemplated in clause 11.5(b), Lodestar will, on request from WML, provide reasonable assistance to WML in relation to any insurance claim initiated by WML in respect of the loss.

the liability shall not extend to any liability, loss or damage to the extent that the Claimant Party has, by its actions or inaction, contributed to such liability, loss or damage;

(c)

to the extent necessary to take into account any savings to the Claimant Party in Taxation as a result of the liability, loss or damage in respect of which the liability to the Claimant Party arose; and

(b)		procure services from third party carriers to provide day to day and long term capacity requirements to move the freight within New Zealand at agreed base rates and any applicable variable charges;

(c)		work with third party carriers and WML to deliver on agreed cost savings targets;

(d)		meet domestic service delivery targets agreed between WML and Lodestar;

(e)		continually improve the service and cost delivery by constantly working closely with WML and its Customers to seek new ways of doing things;

Service Levels

Lodestar and WML will mutually agree and establish service levels and key performance indicators measured on agreed timeframes in relation to the services listed in this Appendix 2.

Service Charge Rates

WML’s domestic freight comprises approximately 35 routes, with full load and part load rate variation. All Rates are currently uploaded into the Whakatane Mill domestic freight data base maintained by Lodestar.

The Base Rates are subject to the following variables:

(a)		by reference to ‘Fuel Adjustment Factor’ (a published index for wholesale diesel rates in NZ) to be calculated and applied quarterly;

(b)		rise and fall of non fuel related inputs (i.e. wages, salaries, tyres etc.) calculated by reference to the transport subsection of the Producers Price Index and applied 6 monthly.

Both (a) and (b) use the same model an example of which is below;

Truck Cost Model Indices

Cost model indices are reviewed for rise and fall on a six monthly basis with the exception of fuel which is reviewed quarterly.


Expense
Category	Model Index	Comments
Tyres	PPI — Series SNI01 — 1262	Series SNI01 is a measure of Road Transport inputs

Fuel	Actual — 58.88	Based on the published BP weekly “Platts” wholesale diesel Truckstop/bulk rate

RUC’s	Regulation	As defined by Land Transport NZ

Wages	LCI — Series SE4319 — 1081	Private Sector — All Salary & Wage Rates -Transport & Storage.

R&M Materials	PPI — Series SNI01 — 1262	Road Transport Inputs

R&M Labour	N/A	R&M Labour is not split out in the cost model.

Ownership / Lease	CGPI- Series 2ED- 1030 [Capital potion-50%) Lend Rate-9.5% (Finance portion 30%) PPI-Series SNI01 — 1262 (R&M portion 20%)	Lease cost split into components and costed accordingly.

Direct Overheads	PPI-Series SU9-1172	Preference is to use PPI Outputs for all industries, as these are more likely to affect overheads than just Transport outputs.

Indirect Overheads	PPI-Series SU9 — 1172	As above.

Base Rates are subject to review and amendment by Lodestar where there is a 15% volume change by WML affecting factored network efficiency.

Lodestar will use its reasonable endeavours to procure the best available rates that meet the service requirements of WML and notify WML of rates pertaining to any additional routes or other Domestic Freight Management Services WML may require from time to time.

Goods transported include any or all of raw materials, in-process materials and finished goods related to carton board and/or liquid packaging board and some specific import and export shipping services as agreed with WML from time to time.

Service Commitment

Lodestar will use its reasonable endeavours to:

(a)		plan, source and execute long term and spot shipping capacity required for WML exports at an acceptable cost considering the service requirements of WML and its Customers;

(b)		receive freight bookings for day to day shipping requirements and make necessary arrangements with relevant shipping companies to effect the shipments within required service levels including but not limited to:

	(i)		accepting and confirming the shipping capacity allocations by carrier;

	(ii)		securing necessary space required with respective carriers; and

	(iii)		securing and presenting necessary equipment for loading of products;

(c)		provide information to WML relating to cost transparency of export shipments, including delivery status information through technology platforms such as eCargo;

(d)		ensure service delivery is maintained and performance improvement targets are met; and

(e)		provide international freight and shipping market trends and information relating to the Services necessary to support decisions relating to WML’s business strategies.

Service Levels

Lodestar and WML will mutually agree and establish service levels and key performance indicators measured on agreed timeframes in relation to the services listed in this Appendix 3.

Service Charge Rates

International sea freight rates are provided on a container or break-bulk basis as required. The Base Rates negotiated by Lodestar and payable by WML are listed below.

Sea freight Base Rates are subject to review from time to time, primarily for Bunker Adjustment Factors, with any such amended Base Rates to be effective upon 7 calendar days’ written notice from Lodestar to WML. Such Base Rate reviews are in reference to internationally accepted mechanisms linked to independent price tracking indices.

Lodestar will use its reasonable endeavours to procure the best available rates that meet any new service requirements of WML and notify WML of rates pertaining to any additional International Shipping Management Services required by WML from time to time.

Transit times reflect approximate delivery days from load port to discharge port. Transit time for any freight route can change without advance notice.

When there is more than one rate/carrier for any route, Lodestar shall use its reasonable endeavours to use the lowest freight rate carrier. However it is recognised that on some routes, more than one carrier may have been allocated volume under contract, and as such a target of the weighted average rate will be the benchmark for rates. Actual variations to this average will be reported each month. In the event Lodestar allocates volume to another carrier at a higher rate. Lodestar shall provide reasonable prior commercial justification to WML for such allocation.

Additional charges from the carrier will be incurred by WML where sales are made under DDU or DDP sales terms. These charges include, but are not limited to, onshore delivery, customs clearances and import fees and will be on charged at cost to WML.
