Schedule 2 — List of Outstanding Liabilities (clause 6.2(c))

Schedule 3 — Adjustment of share capital, number of New Hope Shares and Subscription Price

Attached to this Schedule are three spreadsheets. Spreadsheet A, based on an exchange rate of NZ$1:US78c shows the calculation of:

(a)		the total share capital of the Company, namely 102,522,986 Shares;
(b)		the number of Capitalisation Shares as set out in the Agreement, namely 57,241,000;
(c)		the number of Additional Shares as set out in the Agreement, namely 32,851,801; and
(d)		the Subscription Price set out in the Agreement, namely US1.60898657.

If the exchange rate applied for the purposes of Completion is different from NZ$1:US78c, then the total share capital, the number of Capitalisation Shares and Additional Shares and the Subscription Price will be adjusted accordingly. Examples of how the adjustments will be made are shown in Spreadsheet B which uses an exchange rate of NZ1:US77c, and also in Spreadsheet C which uses an exchange rate of NZ$1:US79c.

Further adjustments may be made as provided in clause 2.3 of the Agreement.

It is agreed that each of New Hope and Agria will transfer the funds in US dollars respectively required to be subscribed under this Agreement and the New Hope Subscription Agreement. Agria Group will transfer its funds on 26 April 2011 into the trust account with ANZ held by Computershare Investor Services Limited (Computershare) in US dollars. ANZ will be requested to send a statement to New Hope forthwith advising of receipt of the funds from Agria Group. New Hope will then transfer its funds to the same Computershare trust account. On 29 April the US dollars in the said account will be converted to New Zealand dollars at the Exchange Rate. The trust account held by Computershare is as follows:

Name of Bank:		ANZ Bank, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Account name:		Computershare Investor Services Limited
Account number:		01-0274-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-03
SWIFT code:		▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

For New Hope, the amount to be transferred on or before 28 April 2011 is US$20,000,000. For Agria Group, the amount to be transferred will be an estimate of the amount required under this Subscription Agreement. If the actual amount required from Agria Group in New Zealand dollars on 28 April 2011 is more than the amount transferred by Agria Group and converted into New Zealand dollars as aforesaid, then Agria Group shall forthwith make up the deficiency to ensure that on Completion Agria Group has contributed a sufficient amount of US dollars to meet its share of the total amount of New Zealand dollars required for the purposes of Completion in accordance with the examples set out in the Spreadsheets that total amount being shown as NZ$154,811,906 on Spreadsheet A. If the actual amount required as at 28 April 2011 is less than the amount transferred by Agria Group and converted as aforesaid, then the surplus shall be refunded forthwith to Agria Group.
