give notice in writing to the Minister at least 6 calendar
months before the expiration of the said term of its desire
to obtain a further licence in respect of the areas more
particularly described in the First Schedule hereto (or in
respect of any alternative area in Porirua Harbour as may be
stipulated by the Minister) then the Minister will grant to
the company the right of first refusal of a further licence in
respect of the said areas (or in respect of any alternative
area as aforesaid) for such term and upon and subject to
such covenants and conditions as the Minister may determine
within a reasonable time after such notice of desire from the
company provided that, in the opinion of the Minister no
detrimental effect to the harbour will be caused thereby, and
provided that the company shall exercise such rights of first
refusal within 1 calendar month after receiving notice from
the Minister as to the term of such further licence and of
the covenants and conditions thereof and as to the areas in
respect of which such licence will be granted, otherwise such
right of first refusal shall lapse. If such right of first refusal
shall lapse then it shall not be lawful for the Minister to
grant any licence affecting the areas described in the First
Schedule of this licence or any part thereof to any person
or corporation other than on the same covenants and con-
ditions as are the subject of the right of first refusal given
to the company until the expiry of a period of 2 years from
the date of lapse of such right of first refusal.

12. The company shall not assign, charge, or part with this
    licence, or with the rights, powers, or privileges hereby con-
    ferred, or any of them, without the written consent of the
    Minister first obtained; which consent it shall be in the
    absolute discretion of the Minister to grant unconditionally,
    or to grant subject to such conditions as he thinks fit, or
    to refuse.

13. If, at any time, in the opinion of the Minister, the
    dredging of material pursuant to this licence causes or
    aggravates, or is likely to cause or aggravate, sea erosion
    or other undesirable effects he may require the company to
    discontinue the dredging of material from all or any part
    of the foreshore and land below low-water mark included in
    this licence, or may regulate the removal of it, and the com-
    pany shall, without delay, comply with any such requisition
    or regulation, and may forthwith apply for an alternative area.

14. Notwithstanding the right of the licensee to dredge
    materials from the area described in the First Schedule, the
    Secretary for Transport may authorise development or main-
    tenance works or removal of materials to be carried on in
    the aforementioned area by some person or persons other
    than the licensee provided that such material removed shall
    remain the property of the Crown and shall not be sold by
    the Crown or any other person, and provided also that such
    works or removal of materials shall be carried out in such a
    manner as to cause no interruption to or interference with
    the conduct of the licensee's business and the dredging
    operations associated therewith.

15. Neither the granting of this licence nor anything herein
    contained shall affect the liability of the company for any
    injury to persons or damage to property arising out of the
    company's operations under this licence, and the company
    shall indemnify Her Majesty the Queen and the Minister
    against liability for any such injury or damage.

16. In case the company or any permitted assign shall:
    (a) Commit, or cause or suffer to be committed, a breach
    of the conditions hereinbefore set forth, or any of
    them, or fail to comply with any direction, requisi-
    tion, or regulation hereunder.
    (b) Enter into any voluntary or compulsory liquidation, or
    if any receiver be appointed on behalf of debenture
    holders or otherwise, or become bankrupt, or make
    a composition with his creditors, or in any manner
    be brought under the operation of any Act for the
    time being in force relating to bankruptcy.
    (c) Make default, for a period of 30 days after due date,
    in payment of any sum of money payable to the
    Minister hereunder.

Then, and in any such case, this licence may be determined
by the Minister by 1 week's written notice to the company.

17. Whenever any power may be exercised, or any notice
    given, or act or thing done or performed by the Minister
    in respect of this licence, it shall be sufficient if such power
    is exercised, notice given, or act or thing done by someone
    acting by or under the special or general direction of the
    Minister.

P. G. MILLEN, Clerk of the Executive Council.
