• delay or block any transaction, or refuse to pay any money, without incurring any liability; or

• disclose any information concerning you or the transaction to the New Zealand Police or Australian Federal Police or any relevant authority in any country in order to ascertain whether the laws in that




country apply to a transaction or otherwise in compliance with those laws that aim to prevent or detect terrorist financing or money laundering, in the reasonable belief that the transaction may contravene those laws, and ANZ Securities and the Bank will not incur any liability to you as a result of that action. ‘Money laundering’ includes any dealing with the proceeds of criminal activity and any dealing with funds or assets of any person or entity suspected of involvement in terrorism or any terrorist act.

When you place a request to cancel an order, the cancellation of that order is not guaranteed.

Part Three - NZD Call AccountAs a client of ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited (the “Bank”), you unconditionally agree to be bound by the terms and conditions outlined in this Part Three, and any amendments notified to you at your last advised residential or postal address, or email address.

Capitalised terms shall have the meanings set out in “Definitions” section of Part One.

The NZD Call Account is a New Zealand dollar denominated call debt security issued by the Bank and managed by ANZ New Zealand Securities Limited (“ANZ Securities”). Your deposit in the NZD Call Account will be held by the Bank, subject to these Terms and Conditions.

The Bank’s obligations under these Terms and Conditions do not constitute deposits or liabilities of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited. Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited does not stand behind or guarantee the Bank. Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority regulates all Authorised Deposit Taking Institutions (ADI) in Australia. Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited is an ADI however the Bank is not an ADI.

ANZ Securities has been delegated responsibility, from the Bank, for the day to day administration and management of the NZD Call Account, including:

• processing deposits and withdrawals;

• maintaining an Account Holder register;

• maintaining accounting records;

• performing account reconciliations; and

• providing regular statements to you on your deposit.

For these purposes, ANZ Securities will act as the Bank’s agent and you agree that ANZ Securities may do anything in the administration, operation, and management of the NZD Call Account that the Bank would otherwise have been authorised to do.

The NZD Call Account is unsecured. The Bank is the person legally liable to pay returns from the NZD CallAccount to you. No level of return is promised or guaranteed by the Bank or by ANZ Securities.

Interest

Interest may accrue on funds deposited in the NZD Call Account, at the rates notified by ANZ Securities to you. These rates are floating rates and will vary from time to time.

It is possible that a rate of 0% interest may be applied at ANZ Securities’ discretion. ANZ Securities may apply tiered interests rates. ANZ Securities reserves the right to treat a particular Account Holder or groups of Account Holders differently, including setting interest rates at different levels. To find out the current interest rate go to the Farm Source Trading Website or call ANZ Securities via 0800 65 65 68.

Interest on the funds you have deposited in the NZD Call Account is calculated on the daily balance, and is paid monthly.

You will receive a monthly statement showing the balance of funds deposited in the NZD Call Account, along with the interest earned and taxes and any fees (other than ANZ Securities’ Management Fee) deducted.

Fees

You agree to pay all fees, taxes, and duties incurred at the rate or rates notified to you by ANZ Securities via the Farm Source Trading Website. You agree to pay all other applicable costs or charges payable in respect of your deposit in the NZD Call Account including intermediary bank charges.

You agree that all fees, charges, and other amounts detailed in these Terms and Conditions will be deducted directly from your funds held in the NZD Call Account, unless you have a zero balance. Where you have a zero balance in the NZD Call Account, you authorise ANZ Securities to debit such fees and charges from any other account you hold with ANZ Securities or with the Bank.

Tax

You should obtain independent tax advice in relation to your own situation.

ANZ Securities, as agent for the Bank, will deduct resident withholding tax (RWT) from all payments made to



New Zealand tax residents unless ANZ Securities has been provided with a valid certificate of exemption.

On the application form, you may elect a RWT rate when you provide us with your Inland Revenue Department(IRD) Number. Your RWT rate should be determined by the amount of your taxable income.

If the IRD considers you have elected an inconsistent RWT rate, they may instruct us to apply another RWTrate. We must use the RWT rate provided by the IRD, unless you tell us to apply a different RWT rate.

If you are an overseas resident and you are not engaged in business in New Zealand through a fixed establishment in New Zealand, non-resident withholding tax (NRWT) will be deducted from the interest earned. The rate of NRWT applied depends on your country of residence and can be up to 15%. If you are a non- resident and subject to NRWT you can elect to have Approved Issuer Levy deducted (at 2%) instead of NRWT.

For more details please refer to, and subsequently complete, the ‘‘Financial Details” section of the Farm SourceTrading Account Application.

How To Deposit

Initial deposit

• Initial deposits in the NZD Call Account can be made in New Zealand dollars using any of the following payment methods:

- direct credit;

- same day cleared payment; or

- by cheque in New Zealand dollars drawn on a New Zealand-domiciled bank account.

• Initial deposits into the NZD Call Account can be made in other currencies using an International Money Transfer

You must include reference of your ANZ Securities client number for all deposits.

There is no minimum level of deposit required for an Account Holder to either open or maintain a balance in the NZD Call Account. Please refer to the ‘Fees’ section of these Terms and Conditions for further information regarding fees.

For further information on how to make deposits in the NZD Call Account please refer to the Farm SourceTrading Website.

Additional Deposits

Once ANZ Securities has accepted your initial deposit in the NZD Call Account, you can make additional deposits in the same manner as your initial deposit. Please refer to the ‘Fees’ section for more information on charges.

ANZ Securities will, as agent for the Bank, arrange for amounts received from you via cheque (made payable in New Zealand dollars) to be credited to the NZD Call Account. However, amounts will not be credited to the NZD Call Account, and therefore no deposit will be made, until funds have cleared.

Withdrawals

You are able to request a withdrawal of funds invested in the NZD Call Account at any time by providing a withdrawal request to ANZ Securities:

• in writing (including, if ANZ Securities agrees, by fax or email);

• via the Farm Source Trading Website; or

• via telephone on 0800 65 65 68

For Account Holder protection, withdrawals payable to you will only be paid to the New Zealand bank account that you have previously nominated, referred to as your Nominated Account, in New Zealand dollars. No cash or cheque payments will be made for such withdrawals.

A withdrawal request will be declined (in whole or in part, at ANZ Securities’ or the Bank’s sole discretion) if thereare insufficient cleared funds held to your credit in the NZD Call Account to satisfy the request.



The Bank is the person legally liable to pay the withdrawal amount to you. Withdrawal amounts will be paid to your Nominated Account no later than one working day after a request is received, provided the request is made on a business day prior to the cut off time for processing such requests (as notified to you by ANZ Securities from time to time).

New Zealand tax residents unless ANZ Securities has been provided with a valid certificate of exemption.

On the application form, you may elect a RWT rate when you provide us with your Inland Revenue Department(IRD) Number. Your RWT rate should be determined by the amount of your taxable income.

ANZ Securities or the Bank may at any time terminate your deposit by paying to your Nominated Account the balance of your funds invested in the NZD Call Account (including accrued unpaid interest and less applicable fees and taxes) without prior notice.

Settlement Of Trades

You may use funds held to your credit in the NZD Call Account to settle orders and obligations in New Zealand dollars. You must hold sufficient cleared funds in the NZD Call Account prior to placing a buy order. Failure to ensure that sufficient funds are available for settlement will result in charges or the reversal of the order.

ANZ Securities may automatically deduct the settlement payment amount required from the NZD Call Account in order to effect any order, trade, or obligation. ANZ Securities may also automatically pay the settlement proceeds to your balance in the NZD Call Account, unless you request otherwise.

Settlement payments may also be requested to a New Zealand domiciled New Zealand dollar denominated bank account that has been previously nominated in writing by you.

Other Terms

• All actions, proceedings, claims and demands which may be brought or made against them as a result of accepting the above telephone, facsimile or email instructions; and

Upon death of one or more joint Account Holder, ANZ Securities may act on instructions from any survivor. If you are a Joint Account Holder, you agree that in the event of any disagreement between joint Account Holders, you should give immediate notice to ANZ Securities and seek independent legal advice. Where there is a dispute in relation to funds jointly invested in the NZD Call Account, ANZ Securities may decline to process instructions and/or stop the operation of the account, as it relates to the joint Account Holder, at the request of a joint Account Holder, or at ANZ Securities’ discretion, pending resolution of the dispute.

Set-off: ANZ Securities may at any time, without notice to you, apply the whole or any part of your funds invested in the NZD Call Account towards payment of any indebtedness owed to ANZ Securities or the Bank by you, including fees. If any amount is contingently due or not quantified, ANZ Securities can withhold repayment of your funds invested generally in the NZD Call Account pending that amount becoming due or being quantified and may set off the maximum liability which may at any time be or become owing. This provision is without prejudice and in addition to any rights of setoff, combination of accounts, lien or other rights which ANZSecurities is entitled, whether by way of operation of law, contract or otherwise.
