No consideration is payable by the Grantee to any of the other Parties in respect of the granting of the Put Option.

The Company, Grantor, the Guarantor and the Shareholders (other than the Grantee) shall procure that their respective boards of directors shall, prior to the expiry of 120 business days after the acknowledgment referred to in clauses 4.1.4.3, 4.1.2.3, 4.1.5.2 and 4.1.9.3 has been made, reconsider the solvency and liquidity test referred to in those respective clauses and adopt a fresh resolution contemplated in terms of section 46(1)(c) of the Companies Act (to the extent the Company is solvent and liquid), and shall repeat this process prior to the expiry of 120 business days after each such fresh resolution.

EXERCISE OF THE PUT OPTION

shall be capable of being exercised at any time during the Put Option Period (save for the circumstances specified in clause 15 where the Put Option shall be capable of being exercised before the Put Option Period); and

shall be exercised by way of the Grantee giving written notice to that effect to the Grantor, substantially in the form attached hereto as Annexure A ("Put Option Notice"), which notice shall specify the Put Option Price payable in respect thereof (which shall be determined in accordance with clause 9), save for the circumstance specified in clause 7.2 where the Put Option shall be deemed to have been exercised without any Put Option Notice being required to be delivered.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clause 7.1, if the Grantee is still the holder of the Option Shares on the last day of the Put Option Period and it has not yet delivered a Put Option Notice to the Grantor, then –

the Grantee shall as soon as reasonably possible deliver written confirmation of the Put Option Price (which shall be determined in accordance with clause 9).

All risk in and all benefit attaching to the Option Shares will, against receipt of payment of the full Put Option Price (together with any accrued interest thereon), pass from the Grantee to the Grantor on the Put Option Closing Date.

Possession and effective control of the Option Shares acquired by the Grantor will be given to the Grantor on the Put Option Closing Date, against receipt of payment of the full Put Option Price (together with any accrued interest thereon).

PUT OPTION PRICE

The purchase price payable by the Grantor to the Grantee for the sale and transfer of each Option Share, shall be an amount equal to the aggregate of –

If closing of the Put Option does not occur on the Put Option Closing Date, the Put Option Price shall be recalculated and confirmed by the Grantee as at closing of the Put Option in terms of clause 11.

The Put Option Price as set out in the Put Option Notice or in the written confirmation in terms of clause 7.2.3 shall, in the absence of manifest error, be prima facie proof of the Put Option Price and the Grantee and the Grantor will proceed to closing and implement the Sale on the Put Option Closing Date on the basis of the Grantee's calculations set out in the Put Option Notice or in the written confirmation in terms of clause 7.2.3.

PAYMENT AND INTEREST ON OVERDUE AMOUNTS

PAYMENT AND INTEREST ON OVERDUE AMOUNTS

the giving of a Call Option Notice to the Grantee by the Purchasers' Representative shall constitute due notice by the named Call Option Holders in the Call Option Notice to the Grantee; and

the giving of any written consent, approval, indulgence or the like by the Purchasers' Representative shall constitute the giving of such consent, approval, indulgence or the like by the relevant Call Option Holders; and

the Grantee shall be entitled to rely on any document purportedly delivered or signed by the Purchasers' Representative and it shall not be necessary to prove the appointment, designation and authority of the Purchasers' Representative.

that if any obligation to pay any amount to the Grantee under this Agreement (including the Put Option Price or the Call Option Price) is or becomes void, unenforceable (including any unenforceability arising from the inability to satisfy the solvency and liquidity test in terms of section 46(1)(c) of the Companies Act or the failure to obtain a Regulatory Approval by the due date therefor), invalid or illegal, they will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify the Grantee, within 1 business day of demand from the Grantee, against any and all actions, applications, suits, proceedings, damages, penalties, fines, costs, reasonable amounts paid in settlement, liabilities, obligations, tax, liens, losses, compensation (including compensation paid or payable to any employee), expenses and fees, including reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys, counsel, accountants, consultants and experts, which the Grantee may incur or suffer (whether directly or indirectly) as a result of, arising out of, or relating to any Party not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by such Party to the Grantee on the date when it would have been due under this Agreement;

to indemnify and hold the Grantee harmless from and against the entirety of any adverse consequences of whatever description including, but not limited to, all actions, applications, suits, proceedings, damages, penalties, fines, costs, reasonable amounts paid in settlement, liabilities, obligations, tax, liens, losses, compensation (including compensation paid or payable to any employee), expenses and fees, including reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys, counsel, accountants, consultants and experts, which the Grantee may suffer (whether directly or indirectly) resulting from, arising out of, or relating to a breach of the warranties and undertakings in this Agreement and this clause 23.
