2.   INTRODUCTION

2.1      The Seller carries on the Businesses more fully described in clause
         1.2.3 above.

2.2      The Parties wish to record in writing the terms and conditions upon
         which the Seller sells to the Purchaser the Businesses, each as a going
         concern.

3.   SALE

3.1      On and with effect from the Effective Date, the Seller sells to the
         Purchaser, which purchases the Businesses, each as a going concern. The
         sale of the Businesses constitutes an indivisible transaction and
         comprises the acquisition by the Purchaser of the Business Assets but
         excluding the Retained Assets, which shall remain the property of the
         Seller.

3.2      The Seller shall sell the Business Assets as beneficial owner free from
         all liens or encumbrances and the risk in and benefit of the Business
         Assets shall be deemed to have vested in the Purchaser with effect from
         the Effective Date. Accordingly, the Seller shall retain the profits
         and losses of the Businesses at the Effective Date and the Purchaser
         will be entitled to the profits and losses of the Businesses from the
         Effective Date.

3.3      The acquisition of the Businesses will include the assumption by the
         Purchaser, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, of the
         Transferred Liabilities but excluding the Retained Liabilities which
         shall remain the responsibility of the Seller.

3.4      Nothing in this Agreement shall operate to transfer to the Purchaser
         any asset which is not a Business Asset.

                                                                             11.

3.5      Insofar as the Businesses of the Seller have been conducted by the
         Seller since the Effective Date, the Seller will be deemed to have been
         conducting such Businesses as agent for and at the risk of the
         Purchaser. All profits accruing from the conduct of the Businesses
         since the Effective Date will accrue to the Purchaser, and the
         Purchaser shall bear all losses suffered by the Businesses from the
         Effective Date.

3.6      The Purchaser shall reimburse to the Seller any income tax payable by
         the Seller in respect of the conduct of the Businesses after the
         Effective Date, payment to be made at least 7 days before the date on
         which the Seller is required to pay the tax concerned.

4.   PURCHASE CONSIDERATION AND PAYMENT

4.1      The purchase consideration payable by the Purchaser to the Seller for
         the Businesses, in addition to the assumption of the Transferred
         Liabilities, is the amount of R680 000 000. The purchase consideration
         will be allocated amongst the Business Assets as follows: as to the
         tangible assets their net asset value as at the Effective Date and the
         balance of the purchase consideration to Goodwill.

4.2      The purchase consideration will be settled by the Purchaser crediting a
         claim on loan account in favour of the Seller in its accounting records
         in an amount of R680 000 000. The terms of repayment and interest rate
         of the loan are set out in the Loan Agreement.

5.   CONTRACTS

5.1      The Purchaser will take over and acquire for its own account with
         effect from the Effective Date the benefit and the burden of the
         Contracts.

5.2      The Purchaser will ensure that all liabilities and obligations of the
         Seller arising under the Contracts taken over by it pursuant to this
         clause 5 and which relate to periods after the Effective Date will be
         performed and completed by the Purchaser, and the Purchaser indemnifies
         the Seller against all actions, proceedings, costs, damages, claims,
         demands and liabilities (including without limitation all expenses
         incurred with lawyers and other consultants) in respect of any act or
         omission on the part of the Purchaser, its

                                                                             12.

         employees, agents or representatives in relation to the Contracts on or
         after the Effective Date.

5.3      As far as the Contracts are concerned, nothing in this Agreement:

5.3.1        shall require the Purchaser to perform any obligation falling due
             for performance or which should have been performed before the
             Effective Date; or

5.3.2        shall make the Purchaser liable for any act, neglect, default or
             omission in respect of any of the Contracts prior to the Effective
             Date.

5.4      The Seller hereby indemnifies the Purchaser against all actions,
         proceedings, costs, damages, claims, demands and liabilities (including
         without limitation all expenses incurred with lawyers and other
         consultants) in respect of any act or omission on the part of the
         Seller, its employees, agents or representatives in relation to the
         Contracts before the Effective Date.

5.5      Insofar as the benefit or burden of any of the Contracts cannot
         effectively be assigned to the Purchaser except with the consent to the
         assignment from the other party to the contract:

5.5.1        the Seller shall use reasonable endeavours to procure the consent
             to such assignment;

5.5.2        until the Contract is assigned the Seller shall hold it in trust
             for the Purchaser absolutely and the Purchaser shall as the
             Seller's sub-contractor (if such sub-contracting is permissible and
             lawful under the Contract) perform all the obligations of the
             Seller under the Contract to be discharged after the Effective Date
             and shall be entitled to all the benefits in respect thereof with
             effect from the Effective Date, and to the extent that it lawfully
             can perform such obligations shall indemnify the Seller against all
             actions, proceedings, costs, damages, claims and demands in respect
             of any failure on the part of the Purchaser to perform those
             obligations; and

5.5.3        until the Contract is assigned the Seller shall (so far as it
             lawfully may) give all reasonable assistance to the Purchaser to
             enable the Purchaser to enforce its rights under the Contract as
             the case may be.

                                                                             13.

5.6      The Seller shall use its best endeavours to procure that the Purchaser
         shall be entitled to occupy any leased premises from which the
         Businesses are now conducted (including the premises of the branches of
         the Businesses), either pursuant to an assignment of the leases in
         question or (if the Seller cannot procure an assignment) in terms of
         sub-leases; provided that where any premises are to be sub-let the
         terms of the sub-leases shall be the same, mutatis mutandis, as those
         applicable to the principal lease between the lessor and the Seller.

5.7      The Purchaser agrees to take over the premises in the condition in
         which they are on the Effective Date; and the Seller shall have no
         liability to any person to repair the premises or to restore the
         premises to their former condition. The Seller warrants that it is not
         aware of any material default in any of its obligations in relation to
         any premises on which the Businesses are conducted in relation to the
         condition of the premises or any other matter connected with leases of
         those premises.

5.8      If any lessor lawfully refuses to agree to the assignment of the leases
         to the Purchaser or to the sub-letting of the premises to the
         Purchaser, the Parties will co-operate with one another in any such way
         as may be lawful and to their respective best advantage in order to
         achieve the intent and object of this Agreement and, in particular, the
         intent and object of this clause 5.

6.   COLLECTION OF DEBTORS

6.1      It is recorded that the Seller has sold the Debtors to the Purchaser
         subject to the provisions of 6.5 and 6.6.

6.2      The Seller warrants that the Purchaser will recover the full amounts of
         the debts from the relevant Debtors within a period of 6 months from
         the Effective Date, but subject to the provisions of 6.3.

6.3      The Purchaser undertakes to use its best endeavours to collect the full
         amount of the debts (insofar as they have not yet been collected) as
         soon as possible after it has taken control of the Businesses, and in
         order to achieve this objective it shall be obliged, inter alia, to
         send out statements of account to the relevant Debtors not less than
         once a month. If so required by the

<PAGE>

                                                                             14.

         Seller, the Purchaser shall give satisfactory proof to the Seller that
         the Purchaser has fulfilled its obligations in terms of this 6.3.

6.4      If a customer of one of the Businesses carried on by the Seller who
         owes an amount which forms part of the debts, purchases service from
         that Business carried on by the Purchaser after it has taken control of
         the Businesses then, unless that customer otherwise directs either
         expressly or by implication, or such payment is made in respect of a
         particular debt, all payments made by the customer shall be allocated,
         as between debts owed by such customer prior to the date of taking over
         control and debts contracted by that customer after the date of taking
         over control, in the first instance to the debts owed by the customer
         prior to the taking over of control.

6.5      Subject to the provisions of 6.7 and 6.8, and subject to compliance by
         the Purchaser with its obligations in terms of 6.3, the Seller
         undertakes to pay to the Purchaser on the expiry of the period of 6
         months from the Effective Date an amount equal to the difference
         between the full value of the debts and the aggregate of the debts
         collected by the Purchaser during the period of 6 months. Against
         payment of such amount by the Seller to the Purchaser, the Purchaser
         shall re-cede the relevant uncollected debts to the Seller.

6.6      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in 6.5, the Seller
         shall not be liable for any amount which was not collected in respect
         of the debts by reason of a settlement discount accorded to the
         relevant debtor in the ordinary, regular and normal course of business.

6.7      Having regard to the provisions of 6.5 it is recorded that the sale of
         the debts has been effected on the basis that the sale of each debt is
         subject to the resolutive condition that such sale will be deemed to be
         cancelled if the debt concerned has not been fully recovered within the
         period of 6 months referred to in 6.5.

6.8      In those cases where the Purchaser's rights in terms of 6.5 are subject
         to compliance by the Purchaser with its obligations in terms of 6.3,
         the material failure by the Purchaser to comply with those obligations
         in respect of any particular debt shall operate to discharge the Seller
         from its obligations (in terms of 6.5) in respect of that debt only.

      Agreement.

9.    TRANSFERRED EMPLOYEES

9.1   The Seller and the Purchaser acknowledge that because the sale of each of
      the Businesses constitutes the transfer of the whole or part of a
      business, trade or undertaking, as contemplated in section 197 of the
      Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995 ("THE ACT"), the provisions of section
      197(2) of the Act apply. Accordingly, and given the absence of agreement
      as referred to in section 197(6) of the Act:-


<PAGE>
                                                                           17.

9.1.1       all the rights and obligations between the Seller, as the "old
            employer", and each Transferred Employee as at the Effective Date,
            (other than the rights and obligations in respect of any share
            option or share incentive scheme applicable to the Transferred
            Employees, which are governed by the conditions of the applicable
            scheme), will continue in force as if they were rights and
            obligations between the Purchaser, as the "new employer", and each
            such Transferred Employee;

9.1.2       anything done before the transfer of the Businesses by or in
            relation to the "old employer" will be considered to have been done
            by or in relation to the "new employer";

9.1.3       the Purchaser as the "new employer" shall ensure continuity of
            service to each Transferred Employee;

      Without limiting the provisions of this clause 9.1, all rights, causes of
      action, claims, debts, liabilities and obligations relating to the
      employment or termination of employment of Transferred Employees with
      respect to the period commencing on the Effective Date, including, but not
      limited to, disability benefits and medical and life benefits will be
      borne by the Purchaser in its capacity as the "new employer".

9.2   Notwithstanding the provisions of clause 9.1, it is recorded that it is
      the Seller's and the Purchaser's intention (and the Seller and the
      Purchaser agree) that as between them all liabilities arising out of
      claims by Transferred Employees which were pending on the Effective Date
      (or which arise after the Effective Date but where the cause of action
      arose on or prior to the Effective Date) for any statutory, contractual or
      other legal obligation of the Seller as employer to any such Transferred
      Employees, will be borne by the Seller in respect of any such claims
      instituted within a period of 12 months after the Effective Date, and not
      thereafter. Such liabilities (referred to as "SELLER RESPONSIBILITIES"):

9.2.1       include, without limitation, liabilities for any claims for any
            monies owing in respect of wages, salaries or overtime, accrued
            bonuses, employer contributions to pension and provident funds,
            medical aid schemes or other employee benefit plans, employer
            contributions required by law (including unemployment insurance
            deductions and all income tax

<PAGE>

                                                                             18.

            unfair acts or omissions, workers' compensation (arising from
            accidents, injury or illness), medical treatment received prior to
            the Effective Date, hospitalisation or sick leave; but

9.2.2       exclude leave pay (in respect of leave accrued prior to the
            Effective Date but not taken) which may be payable after the
            Effective Date. The Purchaser and the Seller have agreed the value
            of the relevant amounts, the purchase consideration has been
            determined accordingly and provision has been made by the Purchaser
            in its financial plans to pay these amounts as and when they become
            due.

9.3   The Seller indemnifies the Purchaser and holds it harmless from and
      against all loss, liability, damage or expense which the Purchaser may
      suffer or incur in relation to any Seller Responsibility within a period
      of 12 months after the Effective Date. The Purchaser shall bear sole
      liability for any amount described in clause 9.2.2.

9.4   Subject to clause 9.2, in the event that a Transferred Employee institutes
      legal proceedings against the Purchaser and the Seller in relation to any
      alleged joint liability flowing from a change to the Transferred
      Employee's terms and conditions of employment, the Purchaser indemnifies
      the Seller and holds it harmless from and against all loss, liability,
      damage or exposure which the Seller may suffer or incur as a result of
      such legal proceedings.

9.5   In the event that the Purchaser deems it necessary to consult with the
      unions of which any of the Transferred Employees are members, in relation
      to the provisions of the transaction set out in this Agreement, the
      Purchaser shall, prior to consulting the unions, consult with the Seller.
      In this regard the Seller undertakes to reasonably co-operate with the
      Purchaser in relation to all negotiations and consultations with any such
      union.

9.6   The Seller and the Purchaser agree that the provisions of this clause 9
      sets out their agreement as envisaged by Section 197(7)(b) of the Act and
      that the terms hereof may be disclosed by the Seller to each of the
      Transferred Employees.

10. BENEFIT MATTERS AND PENSION FUNDS

      The Purchaser shall procure that the Transferred Employees will be
      entitled to participate in pension and/or provident and medical aid plans
      or schemes and such other employee benefit plans on the whole not less
      favourable to the Transferred Employees than the pension and/or provident
      and medical aid plan or scheme and other employee benefit plans to which
      such employees belonged at the Effective Date.

11. PUBLICATION IN TERMS OF INSOLVENCY ACT

11.1  The Parties agree that notice of this transaction will not be published as
      contemplated in section 34 of the Insolvency Act 24 of 1936 ("THE
      INSOLVENCY ACT").

11.2  The Seller indemnifies the Purchaser against any loss or damage which the
      Purchaser may suffer as a result of notice of this transaction not being
      published in terms of the Insolvency Act.

11.3  The Purchaser shall have no duty to resist any proceedings to attach or to
      take possession of any of the Business Assets by any persons against whom
      this transaction is void in terms of the Insolvency Act as a consequence
      of notice of this transaction not being published as aforesaid; provided
      that the Purchaser shall be obliged to give written notice to the Seller
      as soon as it becomes aware of any such proceedings.

11.4  Should the Purchaser give notice to the Seller in terms of clause 11.3 and
      should the Seller fail within 7 days of receipt by them of such notice to
      procure that the Business Assets concerned are released from attachment or
      are returned to the Purchaser, as the case may be, then without prejudice
      to such other rights as the Purchaser may have against the Seller, the
      Purchaser shall be entitled to pay the claims of any such third party in
      order to procure the release of the Business Assets from attachment and
      return thereof to the Purchaser and to recover the amounts so paid and all
      the costs incurred in so doing, from the Seller on demand.

12.1.1      the Seller and Purchaser respectively was at the Effective Date and
            will at the Completion Date be registered as a vendor in terms of
            the Value Added Tax Act, 1991;

12.1.2      each of the Businesses is sold as a going concern;

12.1.3      each  of the  Businesses  is an  enterprise  capable  of  separate
            operation;

12.1.4      each of the Businesses  constitute an income  earning  activity as
            at the Effective Date;

12.1.5      the assets  necessary to carry on each of the Businesses are being
            disposed  of by the  Seller  to the  Purchaser  in  terms  of this
            Agreement;  and

12.1.6      the  purchase  price is  inclusive of value added tax at a rate of
            0,0%

      and that accordingly the Purchaser and the Seller fall within the ambit of
      section 11(1)(e) of the Value Added Tax Act, 1991 so that the value added
      tax payable is calculated at 0,0%.

12.2  If the sale of the Businesses in terms of this Agreement is subject to
      value-added tax at a rate greater than zero, the Purchaser will pay to the
      Seller the value-added tax at the prescribed rate on the purchase price on
      presentation of the relevant tax invoice.

      in breach for 14 days after written notice to that Party requiring that
      Party to rectify that breach, provided that if the breach cannot
      reasonably be remedied within 14 days, the Party in default shall be
      entitled to an extension, not exceeding a further 90 days, to remedy the
      breach, on condition that the Party in default provides evidence to the
      reasonable satisfaction of the other Party within the 14 days that
      effective steps to remedy the breach have been initiated and continues to

            cancellation shall be given to the defaulting party, and the
            cancellation shall take effect on the giving of the notice. No Party
            shall be entitled to cancel this Agreement unless the breach is a
            material breach of a material term, and the remedy of specific
            performance or damages would not adequately prevent the aggrieved
            party from being prejudiced.

13.3  The aggrieved party's remedies in terms of this clause are without
      prejudice to any other remedies to which the aggrieved party may be
      entitled in law, including without limitation, the aggrieved party's
