           8.1.5    the rectification or proposed rectification of,

           this agreement, or out of or pursuant to this agreement or on any
           matter which in terms of this agreement requires agreement by the
           parties, (other than where an interdict is sought or urgent relief
           may be obtained from a court of competent jurisdiction) shall,
           subject to the provisions of clause 8.2, be submitted to and decided
           by arbitration.

     8.2   Upon the happening of a dispute, prior to the dispute being submitted

           period"), it being agreed that either party may address a written
           notice to the other to record the commencement of the two day
           period. In the event that the parties do not reach agreement by the
           conclusion of the two day period in regard to the dispute, the
           negotiations shall be deemed to have been concluded and the said
           dispute shall be submitted (by either of the parties) to and decided
           by arbitration as contemplated in this clause 8.

     8.3   That arbitration shall be held--

     8.4   It is the intention that the arbitration shall, where possible, be
           held and concluded in 21 (twenty one) business days after it has been
           demanded. The parties shall use their best endeavours to procure the
           expeditious completion of the arbitration.

     8.5   Save as expressly provided in this agreement to the contrary, the

           time being in force in South Africa.

     8.6   The arbitrator shall be, if the matter in dispute is principally--

           after the arbitration has been demanded, the arbitrator shall be
           nominated, at the request of either of the parties by the President
           (or his nominee) for the time being of the Cape of Good Hope Law
           Society (or its successor body). If that person fails or refuses to
           make the nomination, either party may approach the

                                                                          Page 7

            High Court of South Africa to make such an appointment. To the
            extent necessary, the court is expressly empowered to do so.

     8.8    If the parties fail to agree whether the dispute is of a legal,
            accounting or other nature within 5 (five) business days after the
            arbitration has been demanded, it shall be considered a matter
            referred to in clause 8.6.1

     8.9    The arbitrator shall have the fullest and freest discretion with
            regard to the proceedings save that he shall be obliged to give his
            award in writing fully supported by reasons. His award shall be
            final and binding on the parties to the dispute.

            8.10.1    may by notice to the parties within 7 (seven) business
                      days after his appointment, dispense wholly or in part
                      with formal submissions or pleadings provided that the
                      parties are given the opportunity to make submissions;

            8.10.2    shall determine the applicable procedure and shall not
                      be bound by strict rules of evidence;

            8.10.3    shall allow any party to the arbitration to call any
                      witnesses he determines and shall permit cross
                      examination of witnesses;

            8.10.4    may, in addition to any other award he may be able to
                      make, award interest with effect from any date, and on
                      any other basis he considers appropriate in the
                      circumstances;

            8.1 0.5   shall make such order as to costs as he deems just.

     8.11   Either party shall be entitled to have the award made an order of
            court of competent jurisdiction.

     8.12   Any dispute shall be deemed to have been referred or subjected to
            arbitration hereunder when either party gives written notice to the
            other of the dispute, demands an arbitration and requests agreement
            on an arbitrator.

     8.13   The provisions of this clause are severable from the rest of this
            agreement and shall remain in effect even if this agreement is
            terminated for any reason.

                                                                          Page 8

     8.14   The parties shall keep the evidence in the arbitration proceedings
            and any order made by any arbitrator confidential unless otherwise
            contemplated herein.

     8.15   The arbitrator shall have the power to give default judgment if any
            party fails to make submissions on due date and/or fails to appear
            at the arbitration.

            relating to the subject matter hereof.

          be obtained from a court of competent jurisdiction) shall, subject to
          the provisions of clause 6 be submitted to and decided by arbitration.

          party may address a written notice to the other to record the
          commencement of the two day period. In the event that the parties do
          not reach agreement by the conclusion of the two day period in regard
          to the dispute, the negotiations shall be deemed to have been
          concluded and the said dispute shall be submitted (by either of the
          parties) to and decided by arbitration as contemplated in this
          clause 6.

          parties shall use their best endeavours to procure the expeditious
          completion of the arbitration.

     6.5  Save as expressly provided in this agreement to the contrary, the
          arbitration shall be subject to the arbitration legislation for the

                  parties.

     6.7  If the parties fail to agree on an arbitrator within 10 (ten) days
          after the arbitration has been demanded, the arbitrator shall be
          nominated, at the request of either of the parties by the President
          (or his nominee) for the time being of the Cape of Good Hope Law
          Society (or its successor body). If that person fails or refuses to
          make the nomination, either party may approach the High Court of South
          Africa to make such an appointment. To the extent necessary, the court
          is expressly empowered to do so.

     6.8  If the parties fail to agree whether the dispute is of a legal,
          accounting or other nature within 5 (five) business days after the
          arbitration has been demanded, it shall be considered a mater referred
          to in clause 6.6.1.

     6.9  The arbitrator shall have the fullest and freest discretion with
          regard to the proceedings save that he shall be obliged to give his
          award in writing fully supported by reasons. His award shall be final
          and binding on the parties to the dispute.

     6.10 Furthermore the arbitrator

          6.10.1  may by notice to the parties within 7 (seven) business days
                  after his appointment, dispense wholly or in part with formal

                                                                          Page 7

                  submissions or pleadings provided that the parties are given
                  the opportunity to make submissions;

          6.10.2  shall determine the applicable procedure and shall not be
                  bound by strict rules of evidence;

          6.10.3  shall allow any party to the arbitration to call any witnesses
                  he determines and shall permit cross examination of witnesses;

          6.10.4  may, in addition to any other award he may be able to make,
                  award interest with effect from any date, and on any other
                  basis he considers appropriate in the circumstances;

          6.10.5  shall make such order as to costs as he deems just.

     6.11 Either party shall be entitled to have the award made an order of
          court of competent jurisdiction.

     6.12 Any dispute shall be deemed to have been referred or subjected to
          arbitration hereunder when either party gives written notice to the
          other of the dispute, demands an arbitration and requests agreement on
          an arbitrator.

     6.13 The provisions of this clause are severable from the rest of this
          agreement and shall remain in effect even if this agreement is
          terminated for any reason.

     6.14 The parties shall keep the evidence in the arbitration proceedings and
          any order made by any arbitrator confidential unless otherwise
          contemplated herein.

     6.15 The arbitrator shall have the power to give default judgment if any
          party fails to make submissions on due date and/or fails to appear at
          the arbitration.

     this agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such
