simultaneously with such redemption,
| | ---------- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rate, unless the Company elects to redeem the Preference Shares as contemplated in clause 1.2.4.3.2 and:
| | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 1.2.4.4.1. | determines that the Dividend Rate applicable to the Preference Dividend to be declared upon such Redemption Date is to be the Premium Rate; or

| | 1.2.4.5. | If an Adjustment Event occurred and the Preference Shareholder did not exercise its rights to deliver an Adjustment Notice prior to the redemption of all the Preference Shares, then
provided that the Preference Shareholder did not wilfully and knowingly fail to exercise such rights, or fail to exercise such rights due to its negligence or that of its agents or advisors, the Company shall pay to the Preference Shareholder,
within 10 (ten) days of written demand from the Preference Shareholder to that effect, an amount equal to:
| | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

had the Preference Shareholder
exercised its rights to deliver an Adjustment Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be obliged to pay any amount in respect of any Tax that may be payable on the payment due in terms of this clause 1.2.4.5, or any amount as
compensation for the loss of any Tax Credit that the Preference Shareholder would have received in respect of a Special Dividend and/or Preference Dividends declared at an increased Dividend Rate. The provisions of this clause 1.2.4.5 shall survive
the redemption of the Preference Shares and shall remain enforceable against the Company until the last day of the third year of assessment of the Preference Shareholder following the year in which the Preference Shareholder is finally assessed for
Tax in respect of the Preference Shares.

| | ---------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 1.2.4.6.3. | an increase in the net after-Tax return of the Preference Shareholder,
| | ---------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------

then Preference Shareholder shall be obliged to give notice thereof to the Company as soon as practicable after it becomes aware thereof and the Company shall be entitled to demand that the Preference Shareholder
re-calculates and, if applicable, reduces the Dividend Rate, so that the Preference Shareholder is placed in the same net after-Tax position that it would have been in if the relevant event had not occurred. The provisions of this clause 1.2.4.6
shall survive the redemption of the Preference Shares and shall remain enforceable against the Preference Shareholder until the last day of the third year of assessment of the Preference Shareholder following the year in which the Preference
Shareholder is finally assessed for Tax in respect of the Preference Shares.



| | 1.2.4.7. | If, as a result of a Change in Law, the Redemption Amount payable in respect of any Preference Share will be Taxable in the hands of the Preference Shareholder, an Adjustment Event
accordingly occurs and the Company incurs a cost or makes a payment in respect of Tax (net of any Tax Credits or other Tax benefit it may be entitled to as a result of the Adjustment Event) then, if the Company would have been obliged to declare and
pay a Special Dividend on the basis set out in clause 1.2.4.2, the amount of any such Special Dividend shall, notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms, be 50% of what it would have been had the above circumstances not applied.
