Board authority and subscription Before signing this agreement, the Company's board resolved on [date] that it is entitled to issue the shares described below under the Companies Act 1993 and the Company's constitution, decided the consideration and terms of issue, and made and signed the certificate required by section 47 of that Act.

Failure to issue If the Company cannot lawfully issue and register the New Shares by [long-stop date], it must promptly refund the Subscription Price. Any claim for an earlier breach remains. Neither party is obliged to complete an unlawful issue. 4. Law New Zealand law governs this agreement, and the courts of New Zealand have jurisdiction.
