3 1.0 He Kōrero Whakatūwhera Ko te tikanga o tēnei tuhinga kōrero he whakatakoto huarahi, he whakamārama hoki i ngā tino kaupapa a Te Kōmiti Whakahaere o Wairaikei 1. (Te Kōmiti) This purpose of this document is to set the direction and outline the priorities for the Wairaikei Charitable Trust (the Trust). Nō Mei, nō te 2007 i whakamanahia ai Te Kōmiti, i te hāinatanga o te Kaupapahere-ā- Kōmiti 2 e ngā mema o Ngā Hapū me Contact Energy Limited. The Trust was formalised in May 2007 with the signing of the Trust Deed by representatives of Nga Hapu and Contact Energy Limited. Ko te kaupapa matua a Te Kōmiti Whakahaere o Wairaikei he whakatakoto huarahi mō Ngā Hapū kia mau tonu ai tō rātou mana tīpuna ki runga i ō rātou wāhi tapu, ki runga hoki i ētahi o ā rātou taonga tuku kua pāngia ki ngā āhuatanga kino kua pūtake i ngā mahinga a ngā Whare Whakapūhikohiko Ngāwhā 3 kei Wairaikei, kei Poihipi hoki. The primary purpose of the Wairaikei Charitable Trust is to assist Nga Hapu in maintaining their ancestral connection to their waahi tapu and other taonga affected by the activities of the Wairaikei and Poihipi geothermal power stations. Ko tā Te Kōmiti anō he whakamana, he whakakaha i te hononga i waenganui i Ngā Hapū rāua ko Contact Energy Limited, ka mutu, kua whakatūturuhia ki raro i te Kirimana-ā- Māramatanga 4. Nō Hūrae, nō te 2003 i tohua ai e ngā rōpū. The ancillary purpose of the Trust is to recognise and promote the partnership between Nga Hapu and Contact Energy Limited enshrined in the Memorandum of Understanding signed by the parties in July Te Huarahi 2.1 Inanahi Nō Contact Energy Limited ngā Whare Whakapūhikohiko Ngāwhā kei Wairaikei, kei Poihipi hoki, ōtirā, ko Contact Energy anō kei te whakahaere. Mahi rawa ai a Contact Energy Limited ki Te Papa Ngāwhā o Wairaikei Tauhara 5 hei whakapūhikohiko. 1 Te Kōmiti Whakahaere o Wairaikei - The Wairaikei Charitable Trust 2 Kaupapahere-ā-Kōmiti - Trust Deed 3 Whare Whakapūhikohiko Ngāwhā - Geothermal Power Stations 4 Kirimana-ā-Māramatanga - Memorandum of Understanding

4 Contact Energy Limited owns and operates the Wairaikei and Poihipi geothermal power stations and is the primary users of the Wairaikei Tauhara geothermal field for the purpose of electricity generation. Nō Māehe, nō te 2001 i tonoa ai e Contact ētahi Whakaāetanga Rawa-ā-Taiao 6 kia taea tonu ai ā rātou mahi whakapūhikohiko kei Wairaikei, kei Poihipi, kei Te Papa Ngāwhā o Wairaikei Tauhara hoki te haere tonu atu kia 2026 rānō. ( Ngā Whakaāetanga 2001 ). In March 2001 Contact applied for a range of resource consents to permit the ongoing operation of the Wairaikei and Poihipi geothermal power stations and use of the Wairaikei Tauhara geothermal field through to 2026 ( the 2001 Consents ). Huhua noa atu ngā kōrero i tukuna atu ai e ngā hapū o Wairaikei hei whakatutuki i ngā take rawa-ā-taiao, i ngā take mō tō rātou ahurea, kia mārama ai te huarahi e tika ana hei mokowhiti, hei whakatika, hei whakangāwari rānei i ngā āhuatanga kino kua pūtake mai i ngā Whare Whakapūhikohiko 7 Wairaikei hapu groups lodged a number of submissions seeking that the environmental and cultural effects of the power stations are appropriately avoided, remedied or mitigated. Nō Hūrae, nō te 2003 i tohua ai tētahi Kirimana-ā-Māramatanga e ngā mema o ngā Kōmiti mō ngā rōpū mana whenua o Ngā Hapū, kei raro iho, rāua ko Contact Energy Limited, hei whakakaha anō i ngā hononga i waenganui i ngā rōpū nei. I runga i te pono, i te tika me te māramatanga. I whakapaehia, me whai whakaaro tonu te tangata ki ngā tikanga a tēnā, a tēnā, a tēnā. Kāti, anei ngā rōpū, ( Ngā Hapū ). In July 2003 specific mana whenua hapu groups represented by the three signatory committees outlined below, and Contact Energy Limited, signed an overarching Memorandum of Understanding in which their desire to establish and maintain a long-term relationship based on mutual trust, openness and respect for each other s needs and values was recorded. The signatory committees ( Nga Hapu ) comprise: 5 Te Papa Ngāwhā o Wairaikei Tauhara - The Wairaikei Tauhara Geothermal Field 6 Whakaāetanga Rawa-ā-Taiao - Resource Consent 7 Whare Whakapūhikohiko - Power Station

5 Nō te 1991 i whakatūria ai Te Kōmiti Ture Whenua o Rauhoto 8 i te hui-ā-hapū o Rauhoto, ā, i riro i ngā marae o Rauhoto, o Te Rangiita, o Maroa hei whakahaere i ngā take Whakahaere Rawa-ā-Taiao 9 a tō rātou ake rohe. Rauhoto Land Rights Committee, which was established in 1991 at a Hui a Hapu of Rauhoto, Oruanui, Te Rangiita and Maroa Marae and which is mandated to deal with Resource Management issues within their Rohe. He tangata whenua a Ngāti Te Urunga nō runga i Ngā Tikanga Whenua a Rauhoto, nō runga hoki i te Ture Whakahaere Rawa-ā-Taiao o Tauhara. Kua riro i Te Kōmiti o Ngāti Te Urunga hei whakahaere i ngā take mō ngā rawa-ā-taiao a tō rātou ake rohe. Ngati Te Urunga have Tangata Whenua status within the Rauhoto Land Rights Rohe and the Tauhara RMA Rohe with the Ngati Te Urunga Committee Inc. mandated to deal with Resource Management issues within their Rohe. Kua riro mā Te Kapa o Te Rangiita Whenua Komiti Whenua Kōmiti me rāua ko Te Kōmiti o Oruanui marae hei wānanga i ngā take whenua, i ngā take Whakahaere Rawa-ā- Taiao hoki e hāngai pū ana ki a Oruanui-a-Tia. Te Kapa o Te Rangiita Whenua Komiti Whenua Komiti, a Hapu mandated Committee supported by the Oruanui Marae Trustees with the role of addressing land and Resource Management related issues of significance to Oruanui a Tia. Nō Pepuere, nō te 2004 i tohua ai e Ngā Hapū rāua ko Contact Energy Limited tētahi Kirimana Whakaāe 10 e mea mai ana kei te whakaāetia e ngā taha e rua te Whakaāetanga 2001 a Contact, ā, kei raro iho e whakamāramatia ana. In January 2004 Nga Hapu and Contact Energy Limited signed a Heads of Agreement which outlined an agreed position regarding Contact s 2001 Consents as outlined below: Kei te tino aro atu a Contact ki te mana whenua me te kaitiakitanga o Ngā Hapū. Kei te tautokohia hokitia ngā tūāhuatanga o te Whakaāetanga Rawa-ā-Taiao kia tū tētahi tangata, nā Ngā Hapū anō i whakatū, hei mema ki runga i te Pōari Tātari Take o Wairaikei 11, hei huarahi whakamōhio hoki i ngā nekehanga mō Ngā Hapū Contact acknowledges the mana whenua status and the kaitiakitanga role of Nga Hapu and will support resource consent conditions for an appropriately qualified 8 Te Kōmiti Ture Whenua o Rauhoto - Rauhoto Land Rights Committee 9 Whakahaere Rawa-ā-Taiao - Resource Management

6 hapu-nominated representative to be on the Wairaikei Peer Review Panel and an appropriate feedback mechanism for Nga Hapu. Nō runga i ngā tikanga mō te Whakahaere Rawa-ā-Taiao e pupuri nei a Ngā Hapū, arā, (ko ngā wāhi tapu, ko ngā wāhi mahinga kai, ko ngā taonga, me te mauri hoki.). Kei te mōhiotia, nō te 1950 i tīmata ai te takahi i ēnei tikanga i Te Papa Ngāwhā o Wairaikei- Tauhara. Me te aha, e korekore rawa ēnei taonga tuku e rauora anō mai hei ngā tau itiiti kei te tū mai. Kei te mōhiotia hokitia me āta āwhina i a Ngā Hapū kia pakari tonu ai ō rātou herenga ki ō rātou wāhi tapu, ki ā rātou taonga tuku hoki kua pāngia ki ngā āhuatanga kino tonu kua pūtake mai i ngā mahinga whakapūhikohiko ki Te Papa Ngāwhā o Wairaikei-Tauhara. Heoi anō, kei te mōhiotia e haere tonu ake ana te pā kino mai o ngā āhuatanga kua pūtake mai i ngā Whare Whakapūhikohiko, engari, tē karo noa, e kore anō e rauora, nā konā me hui, me wānanga, me kōrero. In relation to the particular cultural and resource management values held by Nga Hapu (including waahi tapu, mahinga kai, taonga and mauri) it is recognised there have been adverse effects associated with the past utilisation of the Wairaikei-Tauhara geothermal system since the 1950s that can not be remedied and are effectively irreversible in the short to medium term. It is also recognised that there is a need to assist Nga Hapu in maintaining their relationship with their waahi tapu and other taonga affected by the utilisation of the Wairaikei Tauhara Geothermal System. As to their relationship, it is further recognised that there will be some ongoing adverse effects of future operations of the Power Plants that cannot be effectively avoided or remedied and need to be redressed. Nā konā, nā runga hoki i ngā take i huihuitia ai, kua whakatau a Ngā Hapū e kore anō rātou e whakahē atu ki te Whakaāetanga 2001, i runga anō i te whakaaro me whai ara a Contact Energy Limited ki te whakatutuki i ētahi tonu o ngā tino take mō te Whakaāetanga Rawa-ā- Taiao, ki te āta whakamātau hoki i ngā āhuatanga kino nei kua pā ki ngā wāhi tapu o Ngā Hapū, ka mutu, ka whakatakotoria tētahi huarahi hei whakangāwari ake i ēnei āhuatanga: In light of these acknowledgments and as a consequence of the consultation undertaken, Nga Hapu agreed that they would not participate in opposition to the 2001 Consents on the basis that Contact Energy Limited would seek certain resource consent conditions, the investigation of subsidence effects in areas of special value to Nga Hapu and put in place the following mitigation package: 10 Kirimana Whakaāe - Heads of Agreement 11 Pōari Tātari Take o Wairaikei - Wairaikei Peer Review Panel

7 Kei te whakaāe a Contact kia whakatakotoria tēnei Huarahi Whakangāwari 12 hei āwhina atu i a Ngā Hāpū kia mau tonu ai tō rātou mana tīpuna ki runga i ō rātou wāhi tapu me ētahi o ā rātou taonga tuku kua pāngia ki ngā mahinga a te Whakaāetanga Rawa-ā-Taiao 2001 mō Wairaikei. Kia whakamanahia, kia whakakahangia hoki te hono i waenganui i a Contact rātou ko ngā hapū o Wairaikei-Tauhara i raro i te Kirimana-ā-Māramatanga i tohua ai e ngā rōpū nei i te 1 July, i te Contact agrees to provide the following Mitigation Package to assist Nga Hapu in maintaining their ancestral connection to their waahi tapu and other taonga affected by the activities consented pursuant to the Wairaikei 2001 resource consent applications, and also to recognise and promote the partnership between Contact and the Wairaikei-Tauhara Hapu Collective enshrined in the Memorandum of Understanding signed by the parties on 1 July KARAHIPI He akiaki, he whakangūngū i ngā uri a Ngā Hapū ki roto i ngā momo whare wānanga. Kia hāngai pū tonu te whai ki ngā kaupapa Whakahaere Rawa-ā-Taiao (ehara i te mea koia noa iho). Ka hoatu a Contact i tētahi karahipi-ā-tau mō Wairaikei-Tauhara, ā, e $2500 te rahi. Ia 5 tau, mai i tōna tīmatanga ka piki $500 anō te rahi o te karahipi, ka whakaāetia ana, ka mau tonu ake te karahipi nei kia oti ai tā Contact Whakaāetanga Rawa-ā-Taiao ki Wairaikei, i tonoa ai i te To encourage and upskill Nga Hapu members in tertiary education with special emphasis in (but not limited to) the area of natural resource management, Contact will make available an annual Wairaikei-Tauhara Hapu tertiary education scholarship of $2,500. The scholarship amount shall escalate by $500 per annum at the commencement of each fifth year anniversary from the date of this agreement, and the programme shall last for the duration of the Contact Wairaikei resource consents applied for in 2001, once they are granted. PŪTEA WHAKANGĀWARI 13 He tohatoha pūtea mō ngā kaupapa e hāngai pū ana ki ngā paearu e kōrerohia ana [kei Wāhanga 3.3 o te Kaupapahere-ā-Kōmiti], mai i te 2005 ki te otinga atu o te wāhi ki te Whakaāetanga, ka hoatu-ā-tau a Contact i te $100,000 ( Te Utu-ā-tau ) mō te roanga atu o te Whakaāetanga Rawa-ā-Taiao a Contact ki Wairaikei 14, ā, ka whakaāetia ana i raro i te Ture Whakahaere Rawa-ā-Taiao 1991, ka utua tuatahitia, (kia kore ai e wāhirua, e whakaāe mai ana ngā rōpū nei, mehemea hei muri i te 2005 kē ka whakaāetia ai, ka hoki tonu atu te utu-ā-tau ki te 2005, mehemea rānei kīhei i 12 Huarahi Whakangāwari - Mitigation Package 12 Pūtea Whakangāwari Mitigation Fund 14 Whakaāetanga Rawa-ā-Taiao a Contact ki Wairaikei - Contact Wairaikei Resource Consents

To provide an ongoing funding source for projects that meet the criteria outlined [in Clause 3.3 of the Trust Deed], from 2005 until the end of the consent period, Contact will make available on an annual basis a sum of $100,000 ( The Annual Fund ) for the duration of the 2001 Contact Wairaikei resource consents with the first annual payment to be made when the consents are granted under the Resource Management Act 1991 (for the avoidance of doubt the parties agree that if the consents are granted after 2005 then the annual fund will be backdated to 2005 and if the consents are not granted this agreement will not be exercised). The sum will be adjusted annually to reflect the annual movement in the New Zealand Consumer Price (All Goods) Index published by Statistics New Zealand to the end of the latest quarter before the date of the disbursement of the funds. 2.2 Te Kōmiti Whakahaere o Wairaikei I whakatūria ai Te Kōmiti Whakahaere o Wairaikei hei whakahaere i ngā whakaritenga me te whai whakaaro anō kia ahu pēhea te Pūtea Whakangāwari.
