      commercial endeavours to procure the fulfilment of the Condition as soon
      as reasonably possible after the Signature Date. If the Condition shall

      This Agreement shall be and remain of full force and effect and binding on
      Holdco for as long as it shall be and remain binding on the
      Shareholders.

	7. 	BOARD 

	7.1 	
      The Board shall consist of not fewer than 7 and not more
      than 11 Directors.

	 	 
	7.2 	
      Subject to clauses 7.6 and 7.11, Plateau shall be
      entitled, but not obliged, to nominate 6 Directors, and RPM shall be
      entitled, but not obliged, to nominate 5
Directors.

      The Shareholders may each nominate one or more alternate
      Directors in respect of each Director nominated by such Shareholder in

      It is recorded that the Shareholders' respective
      entitlements to nominate Directors are approximately proportional to their
      respective Shareholdings. Should the Shareholders' respective
      Shareholdings change, their respective entitlements to nominate Directors
      will be adjusted so that the number of Directors which each Shareholder is
      entitled to nominate will be as near as possible proportional to that
      Shareholder's Shareholding.

      If a Shareholder disposes of Shares held by it, that
      Shareholder shall be obliged to procure, as a condition to the transfer of
      such Shares, the resignation of such number (applying the provisions of
      clause 7.6) of Directors nominated (and appointed in accordance with
      clause 7.5) by such Shareholder that shall bear the same proportion to the
      total number of Directors nominated (and appointed in accordance with
      clause 7.5) by such

	10.1 	
      Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act in
      relation to special resolutions, a quorum for all Shareholders’ meetings
      of Holdco shall be both Shareholders present in person or by proxy. If a
      quorum is not present within 15 minutes of the commencement of the

      meeting, any Shareholder who shall not be present at such adjourned
      meeting shall irrevocably and unconditionally be deemed to have appointed
      the Shareholder who shall so be present, as the agent and proxy for and on
      behalf of such absent Shareholder, on the basis that such agent and proxy
      shall vote against all resolutions to be proposed at such adjourned
      meeting.

      by a majority of votes exercisable on a poll.

	 	 
	10.4 	
      Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, a
      resolution in writing circulated to both the Shareholders and signed by
      both of them shall be as

 

Page 57 

		
      valid and effectual as if such resolution had been passed
      at a Shareholders’ meeting duly convened and held; provided that neither
      of the Shareholders shall have specified in the written resolution that it
      is against such resolution. Any such resolution may consist of several
      documents in like form, each signed by one or more of the Shareholders.
      Unless the contrary is stated therein, any such resolution shall be deemed
      to have been passed on the date of the latest signature by the
      Shareholders signing such resolution. A facsimile copy or a scanned email
      copy of a resolution signed by a Shareholder shall be acceptable evidence
      that such resolution shall have been signed by the Shareholder whose
      signature appears on that facsimile or scanned email copy. Should a
      written resolution circulated to both Shareholders not be signed by both
      of the Shareholders, such resolution shall be of no force or effect and
      the matter or matters which are the subject of such written resolution
      shall be referred to a Shareholders’ meeting for consideration.

	11. 	FUNDING 

	11.1 	
      The Board shall, from time to time, determine the amount
      of any funding required by Holdco, the time or times when such funding
      shall be required and the manner in which and the terms on which the
      Shareholders shall be obliged to provide such funding, it being recorded
      that, save in respect of the amounts lent by any Shareholder to Holdco
      prior to or on the Commencement Date, Holdco shall inasfar as possible be
      self-funding and shall borrow as much of its future funding requirements
      as possible in all prevailing circumstances from third parties.

	 	 
	11.2 	
      In the event that the Board shall have determined that
      Holdco shall require funding from the Shareholders, the Board shall
      deliver a written notice (“Funding Notice”) to each of the Shareholders,
      specifying:

	11.2.1 	
      the aggregate amount of the funding required by Holdco
      and the amount of the funding to be contributed by each of the
      Shareholders, which shall, at all times, be pro rata to their
      Shareholding;

	 	 
	11.2.2 	
      when such funding shall be required, it being recorded
      that the Shareholders, or any of them, shall not be required to provide
      any funding before the expiry of a period of not less than 30 Business
      Days after the delivery of the Funding Notice to each
  Shareholder;

	 	 
	11.2.3 	
      whether such funding shall be required to be contributed
      by way of subscription for new Shares in Holdco, or by way of loans to
      Holdco,

 

Page 59 

		
      or by way of a combination of subscription for new Shares
      in Holdco and loans to Holdco;

	 	 
	11.2.4 	
      in the event that the funding, or any portion thereof,
      shall be required to be contributed by way of subscription for new Shares
      in Holdco, the number of Shares in respect of which each Shareholder shall
      be obliged to subscribe and the subscription price payable in respect of
      such new Shares. Subject to clause 13.1, the subscription price in respect
      of such new Shares shall be expressed as the aggregate per Share of the
      par value of such Share and the premium in respect of such Share
      determined by the Board; and

	 	 
	11.2.5 	
      in the event that the funding, or any portion thereof,
      shall be required to be contributed by way of a loan or loans to Holdco,
      the amount to be lent and advanced to Holdco by each Shareholder and the
      terms upon which such amount shall be lent to
Holdco.

	11.3 	
      On the delivery of any Funding Notice to each of the
      Shareholders, each of the Shareholders shall be obliged to and
    shall:

	11.3.1 	
      contribute the funding required in terms of the Funding
      Notice to Holdco at the time, on the basis and on the terms set out in the
      Funding Notice. In the event that any Shareholder shall fail, for whatever
      reason, to comply with its obligations in terms of any Funding Notice, the
      provisions of clause 13 shall apply (it being recorded that such failure
      shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement);
and

 

Page 60 

	11.3.2 	
      in the event that the Funding Notice shall oblige the
      Shareholders to subscribe for Shares in Holdco, exercise all votes
      attaching to their Shares in favour of any resolutions in respect of the
      creation of new Shares in the authorised share capital of Holdco,
      sufficient in number to enable Holdco to allot and to issue the Shares
      (“Funding Shares”) described in such Funding Notice, to the Shareholders;
      and in respect of the placing of the Funding Shares under the control of
      the Directors with specific authority and consent to the Directors to
      allot and to issue the Funding Shares to the Shareholders in terms of the
      Funding Notice. In the event that any Shareholder shall fail or refuse,
      for whatever reason, so to exercise the votes attaching to its Shares,
      such Shareholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally and in rem suam
      authorises and appoints the other Shareholder as its agent and proxy
      so to exercise such votes for it and on its
behalf.

	11.4 	
      In the event that a Funding Notice shall oblige the
      Shareholders to subscribe for Funding Shares, all amounts paid to Holdco
      in respect of payment of a Shareholder’s pro rata portion of the
      aggregate subscription price of all such Funding Shares (“Aggregate
      Subscription Price”) shall be held in escrow until such time as Holdco
      shall have received the entire Aggregate Subscription Price. Accordingly,
      none of the Funding Shares shall be issued and allotted to either
      Shareholder until both Shareholders shall have made payment of their
      respective pro rata portions of the Aggregate Subscription Price
      for such Funding Shares.

	12. 	GUARANTEES AND SURETYSHIPS
  

	12.1 	
      The Board shall be entitled in its discretion to
      determine that any funding required by Holdco, shall be provided by third
      parties, in which event Holdco shall enter into appropriate agreements of
      loan (“Loan Agreements”) with such third parties (“Lenders”) on terms and
      conditions to be determined by the Board. In the event that the Lenders
      shall require, in respect of any Loan Agreement, that the Shareholders, or
      any of them, shall bind themselves as sureties for and/or co-principal
      debtors together with Holdco in respect of any amount borrowed by Holdco
      from the Lenders (“Suretyship Undertakings”), or shall guarantee the
      obligations of Holdco in terms of any Loan Agreement (“Guarantees”), the
      Board shall be entitled and obliged to deliver a written notice
      (“Guarantee Notice”) to each of the Shareholders,
  specifying:

	12.1.1 	
      the amount borrowed by Holdco in terms of and the
      material terms and conditions of the relevant Loan Agreement;

	 	 
	12.1.2 	
      that the Shareholders shall be obliged to execute
      Suretyship Undertakings and/or Guarantees in respect of the relevant Loan
      Agreement;

	 	 
	12.1.3 	
      when the Shareholders shall be obliged to execute the
      Suretyship Undertakings and/or the Guarantees, it being recorded that the
      Shareholders, or any of them, shall not be required so to execute the
      Suretyship Undertakings and/or the Guarantees before the expiry of
  a

 

Page 62 

		
      period of not less than 15 Business Days after the
      delivery of the Guarantee Notice to each Shareholder; and

	 	 
	12.1.4 	
      the terms and conditions applicable in respect of the
      Suretyship Undertakings and/or the Guarantees, it being specifically
      recorded that the Board shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to
      procure that the Shareholders shall be jointly (correi debendi),
      but not jointly and severally (in solidum), liable in terms of such
      Suretyship Undertakings and/or Guarantees.

	12.2 	
      On the delivery of the Guarantee Notice, the Shareholders
      shall be obliged to and shall execute the Suretyship Undertakings and/or
      the Guarantees on the basis and at the time required in terms of the
      Guarantee Notice, failing which the provisions of clause 13 shall
      apply.

	13. 	
      FUNDING DEFAULT

	 	 
		
      In the event that any Shareholder (“Defaulting
      Shareholder”) shall fail, for whatever reason, to provide the funding
      required in terms of clause 11 (“Default Funding”) to Holdco, or shall
      fail to execute the Suretyship Undertakings and/or the Guarantees required
      in terms of clause 12 (“Default Security”), the other Shareholder
      (“Non-Defaulting Shareholder”) shall be entitled, but not obliged, at any
      time during the period of 20 Business Days after the Defaulting
      Shareholder shall have failed to provide the Default Funding to Holdco, or
      shall have failed to provide the Default Security, to provide the Default
      Funding or the Default Security, as the case may be, mutatis mutandis
      on the basis required in terms of the Funding Notice (subject to the
      provisions of clauses 13.1 and 13.2) or the

 

Page 63 

Guarantee Notice, as the case may be.
On the provision of the Defaulting Funding to Holdco or the Default Security, as
the case may be, by the Non-Defaulting Shareholder, the benefits which would
have accrued to the Defaulting Shareholder in the event that it would have
provided the required funding or would have executed the required Suretyship
Undertaking and/or Guarantee (such benefits being, for the avoidance of doubt,
the allotment and issue of any Shares, or the payment of any interest and/or fee
to it) shall accrue to the Non-Defaulting Shareholder who shall so have provided
the Default Funding or Default Security, as the case may be, provided that: 

	13.1 	
      subject to clause 13.2 and notwithstanding the provisions
      of clause 11.2.4, in the event that the Non-Defaulting Shareholder elects
      to provide the Default Funding in circumstances where all or a portion of
      the funding required in terms of clause 11 was to be advanced by way of
      subscription for additional Shares, the subscription price for each of the
      Shares to be issued and allotted to the Non-Defaulting Shareholder shall
      be the Fair Market Value thereof;

	 	 
	13.2 	
      notwithstanding whether the funding required in terms of
      clause 11 was to be advanced by way of subscription for additional Shares,
      for the duration of the Initial Period, any and all Default Funding,
      together with the Non- Defaulting Shareholder’s corresponding portion of
      the aggregate amount of funding required by Holdco, will be contributed by
      the Non-Defaulting Shareholder by way of a loan equal to the aggregate
      amount of the funding required in terms of clause 11, the terms of which
      loan funding shall, at the relevant time, be determined by the
    Board;

 

Page 64 

	13.3 	
      any interest on any loan which constitutes Default
      Funding receivable by the Non-Defaulting Shareholder shall be calculated
      at the rate of Prime, and such interest shall be paid to the
      Non-Defaulting Shareholder by Holdco in priority to any other payment made
      by Holdco to the Shareholders, or any of them, and Holdco shall repay the
      full amount of the Defaulting Funding to the Non-Defaulting Shareholder in
      priority to any other payment made by Holdco to the Shareholders, or any
      of them (including, without limitation, any dividend paid and/or other
      distribution made by Holdco);

	 	 
	13.4 	
      any fee in respect of any guarantee comprising Default
      Security receivable by the Non-Defaulting Shareholder shall be a market
      related fee agreed amongst the Parties, or failing such agreement,
      determined by the auditors of Holdco, who shall act as experts and not as
      arbitrators, and whose decision shall be final and binding on the Parties,
      save in the event of manifest error, and such fee shall be payable to the
      Non-Defaulting Shareholder mutatis mutandis and in the order of
      priority as specified in clause 13.3; and

	 	 
	13.5 	
      in the event that the Non-Defaulting Shareholder does not
      elect to provide Default Funding and/or Default Security in terms of this
      clause 13, as the case may be:

	13.5.1 	
      any funding actually contributed to Holdco (including any
      funds held by Holdco in escrow in accordance with the provisions of clause
      11.4) by the Non-Defaulting Shareholder, in accordance with clause
      11.3.1,

 

Page 65 

		
      shall be released from escrow and/or returned to the
      Non-Defaulting Shareholder, as the case may be; and

	 	 
	13.5.2 	
      any Suretyship Undertakings and/or Guarantees comprising
      such Default Security executed by the Non-Defaulting Shareholder shall be
      terminated.

	14. 	
      SUBORDINATION

	 	 
		
      Each of the Shareholders who shall have any Claim against
      Holdco from time to time shall be obliged, in the event that the Board
      shall so determine, to subordinate all of its Claims against Holdco in
      favour of all or some of the creditors (other than any Shareholder, but
      including, without limitation, any Financier from which Holdco shall from
      time to time borrow any money) of Holdco, on such terms and for such
      periods as the Board may from time to time determine. The provisions of
      this clause 14 shall apply only in respect of and to the extent that
      Holdco shall be indebted to the Shareholders pro rata to their
      respective Shareholding, provided that the provisions of this clause 14
      shall not apply in respect of any portion of any Claim which shall have
      arisen from and/or shall relate to any amount lent by either Shareholder
      to Holdco at any time as and by way of Default Funding in terms of clause
      13.

	 	 
	15.

      of the Profits of Holdco shall be applied, prior to any distribution of
      such Profits to the Shareholders in terms of clause 15.1, to the repayment
      of all amounts owing by Holdco to the Shareholders on loan account,
      provided that:

	15.2.1 	
      all such repayments shall be made in the first instance
      to any amount which Holdco may owe to any Shareholder in respect of
      Default Funding, on the basis described in clause 13;

	 	 
	15.2.2 	
      subject to clause 15.2.1, all such repayments shall be
      made pro rata to the respective Shareholding of the Shareholders from time
      to time; and

	 	 
	15.2.3 	
      all amounts paid to the Shareholders in terms of the
      repayment of such loan accounts shall be applied in the first instance to
      interest accrued, and thereafter to capital
outstanding.

	16. 	STANDBY FACILITY

	16.1 	
      Subject to the entering into by the Anooraq Parties, or

Page 72 

	21.3 	
      The terms of the Micawber Sale of Concentrate Agreement
      shall be substantially similar to the draft attached hereto as Schedule 4,
      provided that :

	21.3.1 	
      those terms in the Micawber Sale of Concentrate Agreement
      which are incomplete (and capable of completion by reference to the
      Bankable Feasibility Study) shall be amplified by reference to the
      Bankable Feasibility Study and those which are unable to be completed by

	21.4 	
      Should the Micawber Sale of Concentrate Agreement be
      extended for a second term of 10 (ten) years, in that Micawber has not
      given RPM notice of termination thereof prior to the end of the 8th
      (eighth) year thereof, Plateau (or its nominee) shall have the sole
      and exclusive options (“the Smelter Options”) to purchase from RPM, an
      undivided ownership interest in the smelter owned by RPM and situated at
      Polokwane (“the Polokwane Smelter”) on the following terms and
      conditions:

 

Page 73 

	21.4.1 	
      RPM shall after the end of the said 8th
      (eighth) year of the initial period of the Micawber Sale of
      Concentrate Agreement, decide on the most appropriate legal entity
      (corporate or otherwise) and structure to facilitate Plateau (or its
      nominee) being able to exercise either or both of the Smelter Options and
      acquire an undivided ownership interest in the Polokwane Smelter; provided
      that any restructuring of the ownership of the Polokwane Smelter to give
      effect to the ultimate exercise of either or both of the Smelter Options
      shall be investigated and determined by RPM having regard to all tax,
      legal, commercial, fiscal and financial consequences for RPM associated
      with such restructuring. In determining the structure, RPM and Plateau
      record that, and Plateau agrees that:

	21.4.1.1 	
      RPM shall be entitled to effect the said restructuring on
      a basis that is least prejudicial or detrimental to its then commercial,
      financial, tax, fiscal and legal position vis-à-vis the Polokwane
      Smelter;

	 	 
	21.4.1.2 	
      whatever restructure is determined by RPM, it is recorded
      that the Polokwane Smelter is treated as a cost centre and that no revenue
      or profits are attributed to the smelting activities at the Polokwane
      Smelter, although RPM may in future restructure the Polokwane Smelter as a
      profit centre;

	 	 
	21.4.1.3 	
      RPM shall determine the mechanism to implement the
      relevant restructure timeously to enable Plateau (or its nominee)

      discretion;

	21.4.2 	
      the Smelter Options are divisible and Plateau or its

      the exercise of the other;

	 	 
	21.4.3 	
      Plateau or its nominee shall be entitled to exercise
      either or both of the Smelter Options by giving written notice of exercise
      of the option to RPM at RPM’s chosen domicilium in terms of clause 36

Page 76 

		
      steps to minimise the cost of the restructure) to RPM

      Plateau acquiring an ownership interest if the Polokwane Smelter is run as
      a profit centre), payable in cash on the date of exercise of Smelter
      Option 1; provided that Plateau if it disputes the cost to RPM as set out

      shall be extended if the determination in 21.4.5.4 is delayed beyond such
      period;

	 	 
	21.4.5.2

      Unless otherwise agreed by the Shareholders or provided
      in this Agreement or the Holdco Sale of Shares
Agreement:

	23.1.1 	any Shareholder may dispose of its Shares only
      if: 

	23.1.1.1 	
      in one and the same transaction, it disposes of that
      portion of its Claims which bear the same proportion to the whole of its
      Claims as the Shares disposed of bear to the whole of its Shareholding in
      Holdco; and

	 	 
	23.1.1.2 	
      such disposal shall be subject to a condition precedent
      that the proposed transferee shall have bound itself to the provisions of
      this Agreement; and

	23.1.2 	
      Shares and/or Claims may not be pledged, hypothecated or
      otherwise encumbered, save in terms of any Financing
  Agreement.

	23.2 	
      Subject to the provisions of the BEE Principles Schedule,
      Plateau may dispose of its Shares only if it shall have acquired written
      approval from the Minister in respect of such sale, insofar as such
      approval is required in

 

Page 82 

		
      terms of section 11 of the MPRD Act or any other section
      of any other applicable legislation, from time to time.

	 	 
	23.3 	
      Shares may only be transferred in accordance with the
      provisions of this Agreement and no transfer of any Shares which conflicts
      with any provision of this Agreement shall be approved nor be permitted to

	23.4 	
      Subject to the remaining provisions of this clause 23 and
      clause 24, transfer of any Shares shall be given to the person so
      acquiring them on the basis that if the approval of the Board is required
      in terms of Holdco’s articles of association, the Shareholders shall
      forthwith after the Commencement Date procure the amendment of Holdco’s
      articles of association to delete such requirement, in order that such
      Shares may be freely transferred without the approval of the
  Board.

	 	 
	23.5 	
      Stamp duty and/or other legal costs payable in respect of
      any transfer of Shares pursuant to this Agreement will be paid by the

	24. 	PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHTS

	24.1 	
      The Shareholders shall not directly or indirectly sell,
      transfer, delegate or otherwise dispose of (collectively “Dispose of”) any

      In the event that any Shareholder shall Dispose of its
      Shares in accordance with the stipulations of this Agreement, the other
      Shareholders shall procure that such Shareholder shall be released from

      guarantees in respect of and/or in terms of which such Shareholder shall
      be bound in respect of and/or in connection with the liabilities of any
      member of the Holdco Group, to the extent that the Obligations shall be
      greater than the pro rata obligations of such Shareholder in terms of this
      Agreement (measured by reference to the Shareholding of such Shareholder
      immediately before such disposal, against the total amount in respect of
      which the Shareholders shall have bound themselves as sureties and/or
      guarantors for the obligations of the Companies). It is recorded, for the
      avoidance of doubt, that the third party to whom such Shareholder shall
      Dispose of its Shares shall (as a condition precedent to such disposal)
      assume the liability of such Shareholder in respect of the Obligations, to
      the extent that such Obligations shall be pro rata to the obligations of
      the other Shareholders in terms of any suretyships and/or guarantees in
      respect of and/or in terms of which the Shareholders shall be bound in

	25.1 	
      Subject to clause 25.2, RPM hereby undertakes, in favour
      of Plateau and Holdco, that it shall not, and shall procure that the APL
      Group shall not, during the period commencing on the Signature Date and

      arrangement) any person employed by any entity in the Holdco Group in
      connection with the Holdco Business.

	 	 
	25.2 	
      The provisions of clause 25.1 shall not preclude RPM
      and/or any other member of the APL Group from employing any person who
      resigns from any entity in the Holdco Group voluntarily and not as a
      result of any direct or indirect solicitation efforts by RPM and/or any
      other entity in the APL Group.

	26. 	REHABILITATION TRUST AND
      GUARANTEES 

	26.1 	
      It is recorded that as at the Signature Date, RPM shall
      have contributed an amount to the Platinum Producers’ Environmental Trust
      Fund, in respect of the LPM Business, and has provided an environmental
      guarantee in respect of the possible shortfall associated with early
      closure (“the Environmental Guarantee”).

	 	 
	26.2 	
      As soon as practicably possible after the Commencement
      Date, the funds standing to the credit of the LPM Business in the Platinum
      Producers’ Environmental Trust Fund shall be transferred to a dedicated
      Holdco trust and the Environmental Guarantee shall remain in force for a

      or

 

Page 85 

		
      Opco, as the case may be, within 20 Business Days from
      the Commencement Date. Upon expiry of the 12 month period referred to
      herein, the Environmental Guarantee shall ipso facto lapse and be
      of no further force and effect and Holdco and/or Opco shall be obliged to
      substitute same with its own environmental guarantee.

	 	 
	26.3 	
      With effect from the Commencement Date, any additional
      funding required to be contributed to the Holdco trust fund and/or the
      Environmental Guarantee shall be contributed by
Holdco.

	29. 	INFORMATION RELATING TO HOLDCO

      MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION OF
HOLDCO

	31.1 	
      Notwithstanding anything herein implied or contained to
      the contrary and subject to all applicable laws, in the event of their
      being any inconsistency

 

Page 90 

		
      between the provisions of this Agreement and the rights
      and obligations of the Parties under the memorandum and articles of
      association of Holdco, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail as
      amongst the Parties.

	 	 
	31.2 	
      The Parties shall procure, as soon as practicable after a
      written request by either Shareholder, that the appropriate provisions of
      this Agreement shall be incorporated into the articles of association of
      Holdco as soon as possible after the Commencement
Date.

	32. 	MUTUAL SUPPORT

	32.1 	
      The Parties undertake at all times to do all such things,
      perform all such actions and take all such steps and to procure the doing
      of all such things, the performance of all such actions, and the taking of
      all such steps, as may be open to them and necessary or desirable for or
      incidental to the putting into effect or maintenance of the terms,
      conditions, import and intent of this Agreement.

	 	 
	32.2 	
      Where circumstances arise which were not contemplated by
      the Parties as at the Signature Date, which render impractical the
      implementation of this Agreement, the Parties will meet and negotiate in
      good faith to establish a modus operandi for the attainment and
      fulfilment of the fundamental purpose of this Agreement.

	 	 
	32.3 	
      The Shareholders agree that, if during the currency of
      this Agreement, there is any significant change in circumstances, which
      results in one or more of the Shareholders being placed in an inequitable
      or unfavourable

 

Page 91 

		
      position, the Shareholders shall meet with a view to
      agreeing, in a spirit of mutual trust and understanding, what
      modification, if any, to this Agreement would be appropriate in order to
      take account of such change.

	 	 
	32.4 	
      Notwithstanding the provisions of this clause 32, it is
      acknowledged that neither Shareholder shall owe the other of them a duty
      of care or fiduciary duty of any nature and that each Shareholder shall be
      entitled to act in its own interests provided that it shall comply at all
      times with all of the provisions of this
Agreement.

	33. 	DISPUTE RESOLUTION

	33.1 	
      In the event of there being any dispute or difference
      between the Parties arising out of this Agreement, the said dispute or
      difference shall on written demand by either Party be submitted to
      arbitration in Johannesburg in accordance with the AFSA rules, which
      arbitration shall be administered by AFSA.

	 	 
	33.2 	
      Should AFSA, as an institution, not be operating at that
      time or not be accepting requests for arbitration for any reason, then the
      arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the AFSA rules for
      commercial arbitration (as last applied by AFSA) before an arbitrator
      appointed by agreement between the parties to the dispute or failing
      agreement within 10 (ten) Business Days of the demand for arbitration,
      then any party to the dispute shall be entitled to forthwith call upon the
      chairperson of the Johannesburg Bar Council to nominate the arbitrator,
      provided that the person so nominated shall be an advocate of not less
      than 10 (ten) years standing as

 

Page 92 

		
      such. The person so nominated shall be the duly appointed
      arbitrator in respect of the dispute. In the event of the attorneys of the
      parties to the dispute failing to agree on any matter relating to the
      administration of the arbitration, such matter shall be referred to and
      decided by the arbitrator whose decision shall be final and binding on the
      parties to the dispute.

	 	 
	33.3 	
      Any party to the arbitration may appeal the decision of
      the arbitrator or arbitrators in terms of the AFSA rules for commercial
      arbitration. Should AFSA, as an institution, not be operating at the time
      or not be accepting requests for appeal for any reason, then the appeal
      shall be conducted in accordance with the AFSA rules for commercial
      arbitration (as last applied by AFSA).

	 	 
	33.4 	
      Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to prevent or
      prohibit a party to the arbitration from applying to the appropriate court
      for urgent relief or for judgment in relation to a liquidated
  claim.

	 	 
	33.5 	
      Any arbitration in terms of this clause 33 (including any
      appeal proceedings) shall be conducted in camera and the Parties
      shall treat as confidential details of the dispute submitted to
      arbitration, the conduct of the arbitration proceedings and the outcome of
      the arbitration.

	 	 
	33.6 	
      This clause 33 will continue to be binding on the Parties
      notwithstanding any termination or cancellation of the
Agreement.

	 	 
	33.7 	
      The Parties agree that the written demand by a party to
      the dispute in terms of clause 33.1 that the dispute or difference be
      submitted to arbitration, is to

 

Page 93 

be deemed to be a legal process for
the purpose of interrupting extinctive prescription in terms of the Prescription
Act, 1969. 

	34. 	
      RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES

	 	 
		
      The relationship of the Parties amongst themselves shall
      be governed by the terms of this Agreement and nothing contained herein
      shall be deemed to constitute a partnership between them and neither shall
      they by reason of the actions of any one of them incur any personal
      liability as co-partners to any third party and none of them shall be
      entitled or empowered to represent or hold out to any third party that the
      relationship between them is that of partnership.

	 	 
	35. 	
      BREACH

	35.1 	
      In respect of a Shareholder (“Affected Party”), and
      without prejudice to any other rights of such Affected Party at law, if,
      at any time:

	35.1.1 	
      it is placed under judicial management, in liquidation,
      or under winding-up, whether voluntarily, compulsorily, final or
      provisional; or

	 	 
	35.1.2 	
      it commits any breach of a material term of this
      Agreement in respect of which no specific remedy is specified herein (it
      being specifically recorded that in the event that any specific remedy is
      specified herein, such remedy shall apply and this clause 35 shall not
      apply); or

 

Page 94 

	35.1.3 	
      any director of such Affected Party is convicted in a
      court of competent jurisdiction of any criminal offence of which
      dishonesty is a constituent element,

the other Shareholder shall be
entitled, if it wishes to enforce its rights in terms hereof, to demand by
written notice (“Breach Notice”) delivered on the Affected Party, to remedy such
position. In respect of the conviction of a director of the Affected Party (in
terms of clause 35.1.3) the remedy shall be that such director shall be removed
as a director of the Affected Party. In the event that the position in respect
of which the Breach Notice shall have been given shall be capable of remedy, the
Affected Party shall remedy such position by not later than 60 Business Days
after delivery of the Breach Notice. If, within such 60 Business Day period, the
Affected Party shall fail to remedy such position or the position in respect of
which the Breach Notice shall have been given shall not be capable of remedy,
the provisions of clause 5 of the BEE Principles Schedule shall apply mutatis
mutandis (it is recorded for the avoidance of doubt that in such
circumstances, any reference in clause 5 of the BEE Principles Schedule to
‘Plateau’ and ‘RPM’ shall, for the purposes of this clause, be deemed to be
references to respectively the Affected Party and the Shareholder that shall
have delivered the Breach Notice to the Affected Party). 

	35.2 	
      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
      herein, no liability shall attach to any of the Parties in respect of any
      breach of this Agreement in relation to claims, losses or liabilities for
      any loss of profit or any other indirect, special or consequential
      loss.

	A. 	
      No decision of the Board and/or the Opco Board and/or any
      Sub-Board (as defined in clause 9 of the Agreement) in relation to any of
      the Reserved Matters (set out in clause 1 hereof) shall be of any force
      and effect unless each Shareholder (or where relevant, the Directors, Opco
      Directors and/or directors of each Sub-Board appointed and/or nominated by
      such Shareholder) which holds at least 25.1% of all of the issued Shares
      (each, a "Qualifying Shareholder") shall have agreed in respect of such
      matters. It is intended that the majority of these decisions will be
      regulated at the appropriate board level.

	 	 
	B. 	
      In respect of all matters set out herein and described
      respectively as Financial Covenants, Consultative Matters and
      Sub-Committee Consultation (set out in respectively clauses 2, 3 and 4

      decisions of the Board, the Opco Board and/or any
  Sub-Board.

The protections are divided into four sections: 

Reserved Matters 

Considerations that will require each Qualifying Shareholder’s
approval.

      (“Initial Period Default”), Plateau shall give written notice (“Default

or shall be adversely affected unless RPM shall take appropriate action, by not
later than the date specified in such written notice, or (in the event that such
written notice shall not specify any date) by such date as RPM shall reasonably
determine and specify in writing. 

	5. 	COMPULSORY DISPOSAL

	5.1. 	
      In the event that an Initial Period Default shall have
      occurred and shall not have been Remedied or Cured, notwithstanding the
      elapse of the appropriate time period specified in clause 4 of this BEE
      Principles Schedule, RPM shall be entitled, within 120 days after the
      elapse of such time period, to deliver a written notice (“Compulsory

      an unconditional binding agreement in respect of the sale of the Disposal
      Interest to a

 

Page 5 

Qualified Purchaser by not later than
the expiry of the Compulsory Disposal Period, or, in the event that Plateau
shall have entered into a conditional binding agreement in respect of the sale
of the Disposal Interest to a Qualified Purchaser before the expiry of the
Compulsory Disposal Period but the condition to such agreement (being, for these
purposes, a condition only that appropriate regulatory consent shall have been
obtained in respect of such sale) shall not have been fulfilled by not later
than a further 120 days (after the expiry of the Compulsory Disposal Period)
(“Implementation Period”), Plateau shall appoint in rem suam an
independent merchant bank with appropriate expertise and experience in respect
of the sale of interests similar to the Disposal Interest, as soon as reasonably
possible in the circumstances, to sell the Disposal Interest to a Qualified
Purchaser. In the event that Plateau shall fail, by not later than 5 Business
Days after the expiry of the Implementation Period, to appoint such independent
merchant bank on the basis set out herein, RPM shall be entitled, as the agent
for and on behalf of Plateau, to appoint such independent merchant bank for the
purposes specified herein. Without limiting the generality of any of the
foregoing, it is specifically recorded that:

	5.2.1. 	
      the terms of any appointment of an independent merchant
      bank to sell the Disposal Interest to a Qualified Purchaser must oblige
      the merchant bank to endeavour to sell the Disposal Interest at the best
      possible price in the circumstances; and

	 	 
	5.2.2. 	
      Plateau shall be responsible for and shall bear all of

      merchant bank, the

 

Page 6 

costs of such independent merchant
bank and of the sale of the Disposal Interest. 

	5.3. 	
      After the implementation of any compulsory disposal of a
      Disposal Interest, in accordance with the provisions of clauses 5.1 and
      5.2 of this BEE Principles Schedule, the Group structure of the relevant
      Qualified Purchaser shall be deemed to constitute the Controlling Group
      Structure and the provisions of this BEE Principles Schedule shall apply
      thereto.

	 	 
	5.4. 	
      In the event that an Initial Period Default shall have
      occurred and RPM shall have failed for whatever reason to timeously
      exercise its rights in terms of this clause 5, clauses 5.1 to 5.3 (both
      inclusive) of this BEE Principles Schedule shall have no further
      application in respect of such Initial Period
Default.

	6. 	CHANGE OF CONTROL

      Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement,
      in the event that Holdco shall be subject to a Change of Control, Plateau
      shall give written notice (“Control Change Notice”) of same to RPM, as
      soon as possible in the circumstances after such Change of Control shall
      have occurred. In the event that Plateau shall have failed, for whatever
      reason, to give such Control Change Notice, RPM shall be entitled, on its
      becoming aware that such Change of Control shall have occurred, to give
      notice in respect thereof to Plateau, in which event such written notice
      given by RPM shall constitute the Control Change
Notice.

 

Page 7 

	6.2. 	
      Plateau shall, in the first instance, be entitled and
      obliged to Remedy or procure the Remedy of the Change of Control by not
      later than 35 days after the delivery of the Control Change Notice
      (“Remedy Period”).

	 	 
	6.3. 	
      If Plateau shall not have Remedied the Change of Control
      within the Remedy Period, RPM shall be entitled (“Put Option”) in its sole
      discretion, in addition and without limitation to any of its other rights
      arising in terms hereof, to sell its entire interest in Holdco (“Put
      Interest”) (comprising its Shares and Claims) to Plateau, which shall be
      obliged to purchase such interest, on the basis
that:

	6.3.1. 	
      RPM, if it wishes to exercise its Put Option, shall be
      obliged to exercise its entitlement to sell its Put Interest by the
      delivery of a written notice (“Put Notice”) to Plateau, by not later than
      30 Business Days after the Remedy Period shall have elapsed; provided that
      in circumstances where a Structural Change shall have resulted in an
      Initial Period Default and a Change of Control of Holdco and RPM shall
      have elected to exercise its entitlement in terms of clause 5 of this BEE
      Principles Schedule, by way of delivering a Compulsory Disposal Notice to
      Plateau, RPM shall be entitled to exercise its Put Option by the delivery
      of a Put Notice to Plateau’s Permitted Successor, within the 30 Business
      Day period after the compulsory disposal contemplated in clause 5 of this
      BEE Principles Schedule shall have been
implemented;

 

Page 8 

	6.3.2. 	
      the purchase price payable by Plateau, or its Permitted
      Successor, as the case may be, to RPM for the Put Interest shall be the
      Fair Market Value thereof;

	 	 
	6.3.3. 	
      save that RPM shall represent and warrant that it shall
      be able and entitled validly and effectively to deliver the Put Interest
      to Plateau, or its Permitted Successor, as the case may be, which shall
      acquire the Put Interest free from any lien, charge and/or encumbrance,
      RPM shall make no representations and give no warranties in respect of the
      Put Interest, which shall be sold voetstoots and as it stands;

	 	 
	6.3.4. 	
      Plateau or its Permitted Successor, as the case may be,
      shall pay the purchase price in respect of the Put Interest to RPM in
      cash, without set-off and/or deduction, by the transfer of the full amount
      due in immediately available funds to such bank account as RPM may
      reasonably specify. Payment of the purchase price shall be made by not
      later than 5 Business Days after the last of all necessary and appropriate
      regulatory and shareholder consents shall have been obtained in respect of
      the transfer of the Put Interest (Plateau hereby undertaking to use its
      reasonable commercial endeavours to obtain all such regulatory consents as
      soon as reasonably possible in all prevailing circumstances);

	 	 
	6.3.5. 	
      in circumstances where a Structural Change shall have
      resulted in an Initial Period Default and a Change of Control of

Page 11 

“Dispose”) any of its Shares and
Claims (“Sale Interest”), the Offeror shall deliver a written offer (“Offer”) to
the other Shareholder (“Offeree”) offering to sell the Sale Interest to the
Offeree, on the following terms and conditions: 

	7.1.1. 	the Offer shall: 

	7.1.1.1. 	
      be in writing and shall be delivered by the Offeror to

      the JSE, in respect of the 30 days immediately preceding the date of
      receipt of the Offer by the Offeree; and the Offeree shall be entitled, if

      to accept the Offer, deliver a written notice (“Acceptance Notice”) to the
      Offeror, within such 30 Business Day period;

	 	 
	7.1.3. 	
      the Offeree shall be entitled not to accept delivery of
      the Sale Interest unless and until it shall have received all necessary
      regulatory consents in respect of such delivery, and (without limitation)
      shall, at any time during the period of 120 days after the delivery by it
      of the Acceptance Notice, be entitled to advise the Offeror in writing
      that the Offeree is not able to accept transfer of the Sale Interest by
      reason of the operation of the MPRD Act and/or the Competition Act, in
      which event the Offeree shall be entitled, in such written notice, to
      nominate a third party to whom the Offeree intends to cede and delegate
      its rights and/or obligations in terms of and/or in connection with its
      acquisition of the Sale Interest in terms of the Acceptance Notice, and
      the Offeror irrevocably and unconditionally hereby consents in respect of
      such cession and delegation, and undertakes to deliver the Sale Interest
      to such third party on the receipt by it of all necessary regulatory
      consents in respect of such delivery (it being specifically recorded that
      the Offeree shall use its reasonable commercial

 

Page 13 

		
      endeavours in order to obtain the necessary regulatory
      consents in respect of such delivery as soon as reasonably possible in all
      prevailing circumstances); and

	 	 
	7.1.4. 	
      the Offeree shall pay the Price to the Offeror, without
      set-off and/or deduction, on the day on which the Offeree (or the nominee
      of the Offeree) shall be able and entitled to accept delivery of the Sale
      Interest.

	7.2. 	
      In the event that the Offeree shall, for whatever reason,
      fail to deliver the Acceptance Notice to the Offeror during the 30
      Business Day period specified in clause 7.1.2 of this BEE Principles
      Schedule, the Offeror shall be entitled, at any time during the period of
      45 Business Days immediately following such 30 Business Day period, to
      enter into a written agreement in respect of the sale of the Sale Interest
      to any third party, provided that:

	7.2.1. 	
      such sale shall not be on terms and conditions more
      favourable and/or for a purchase price which shall be less than the terms
      and conditions and purchase price specified in the Offer; and

	 	 
	7.2.2. 	
      such third party shall, before the transfer of the Sale
      Interest to it, have bound itself as a party to the
  Agreement.

	7.3 	
      The provisions of this clause 7 of this BEE Principles
      Schedule shall not apply to any compulsory disposal of Plateau’s
      Shareholding in accordance with the provisions of clause 5 of this BEE

Page 14 

	8. 	TAG ALONG 

In the event that a Shareholder
(“Controlling Shareholder”), shall be entitled, in terms of clause 7.2 of this
BEE Principles Schedule, to sell more than 50% of the issued Shares (“Tag
Interest”) to any third party, the remaining Shareholder (“Minority
Shareholder”) shall be entitled, by not later than 15 Business Days after having
been informed of the identity of such third party, by written notice delivered
to the Controlling Shareholder to demand that the Controlling Shareholder shall,
if it so sells the Tag Interest to a third party, procure that such third party
shall offer to purchase the Minority Shareholder’s Shares and Claims (“Minority
Interest”) (which offer the Minority Shareholder shall be deemed to have
accepted) at the same purchase price and on the same terms and conditions as
shall be applicable as between the Controlling Shareholder and such third party
(provided only that such purchase price shall be pro rated to take into account
the lower number of Shares and the lesser face value of the Claims as shall
constitute the Minority Interest) and the Controlling Shareholder shall be
obliged to procure that the third party shall purchase the Minority Interest by
not later than the date on which such third party shall purchase the Tag
Interest, failing which the Controlling Shareholder, notwithstanding the
stipulations of clause 7.2 of this BEE Principles Schedule, shall not be
entitled to and shall not sell the Tag Interest and, if it so wishes to sell the
Tag Interest, shall again be obliged to follow the procedure set out and
stipulated in clause 7 of this BEE Principles Schedule, whereupon the
stipulations of this clause 8 shall again be applicable; provided that this
clause shall in no circumstances apply to any compulsory disposal in terms of
clause 5 of this BEE Principle Schedule.

      of Plateau (which consent Plateau shall be entitled to withhold in its
      unfettered discretion).

	 	 
	10. 	
      SURVIVAL OF RPM’S RIGHTS

	 	 
		
      In the event that RPM shall at any time during the
      Initial Period dispose of all of its Shares and Claims (other than in
      circumstances that such disposal shall be in breach of or shall constitute
      the result of the breach by RPM of any of its obligations to Plateau as
      recorded herein) the entitlement of RPM and the obligations of Plateau in
      respect of and/or in connection with acting in the interests of and
      maintaining the entitlements and/or benefits of RPM in respect of
      empowerment as contemplated in Section 2(d) of the MPRD Act (as described
      in clause 22.3), and in respect of and/or in connection with the Initial
      Period , shall be and remain of full force and effect, notwithstanding
      that RPM shall no longer have any interest in the Holdco
  Business.

	 	 
	11.

      It is recorded that in respect of any Initial Period

	2. 	Introduction 

	2.1 	
      The Parties wish to conclude this Agreement to regulate
      the terms and conditions under which each of APL and Anooraq agrees to
      provide Services to the Company in order to ensure a meaningful and
      effective transfer of skills from APL to the Company. This will ensure the
      long term sustainability of the Company and further Anooraq's objective of
      becoming a significant and independent platinum group metals producer in
      South Africa. It is the intention of the Parties that Anooraq will take
      over the provision of the Services in their entirety, as soon as
      possible.

	 	 
	2.2 	
      It is acknowledged that the Service Providers have the
      necessary ability, expertise and know-how to perform and render, or to
      cause to be performed and rendered, the Services to the Company.

	 	 
	2.3 	
      The Company wishes to appoint the Service Providers to
      perform and render to it, or to cause to be performed and rendered to it,

      Party, or to represent to any third person that it has the authority to
      bind the other Party or to confer any obligation on the other Party,
      unless specifically mandated to do so in writing by the other
  Party.

      Services Agreements, the provisions of the Ad Hoc Services Agreements will
      prevail to the extent of the inconsistency or conflict, provided however
      that where there is any inconsistency or conflict between the provisions
      of clauses 10 and 11 of this Agreement and any of the provisions of any Ad
      Hoc Services Agreements, the provisions of clauses 10 and 11 of this
      Agreement will prevail to the extent of the inconsistency or

      part thereof) from the applicable Service Provider, which invoice shall
      comply with the requirements of the VAT Act and shall contain reasonable
      detail to support any calculation of fees therein. The Service Providers
      shall render such invoice:

      service fees, which shall include VAT, as set out in, or otherwise
      calculated in accordance with, each Continuous Services Agreement ("the
      Continuous Service Fees"), within 30 days after the receipt by the
      Company of an invoice for such Continuous Service Fees from the Service
      Providers, which invoice shall comply with the VAT Act. The Service

      charge) is identified in the Continuous Services Agreement as being
      payable by the Company, such retainer shall be payable by the Company to
      the Service Providers irrespective of whether or not the Company has
      requested any Continuous Services stipulated in the relevant Continuous
      Services Agreement to be performed by the Service Providers in any
      particular month.

	 	 
	9.4 	
      APL acknowledges and agrees that for the duration of the
      Initial Period, any Ad Hoc Service Fees or Continuous Service Fees charged
      to the Company shall be no greater than the average fees that an APL Group
      company may charge to another APL Group company for the same or similar
      services (having due regard and giving recognition to the nature and
      extent of services and associated service levels). Following the expiry of

      all costs reasonably incurred by the Service Providers in
      consulting with external professional advisors in relation to the Services
      including, without limitation, costs incurred in consulting with
      accountants, legal advisors and banking advisors and professional advisors
      in the industry relevant to the Services (which external professional
      advisors the Service Providers may consult whenever reasonably necessary
      in performing and rendering the Services), provided that, where reasonably
      possible, the Service Providers, will, in co-operation with the Company,
      procure that the Company instructs the relevant external professional
      advisor directly, and that the Company is invoiced by such external
      professional advisor directly; and

	 	 
	9.5.3 	
      all costs reasonably incurred by the Service Providers in
      appointing sub- contractors as set out or referred to or otherwise

detail to support any calculation of fees therein.

      discharge thereof up to and including the date of actual payment or
      discharge thereof.

17.

	9.8 	
      The Service Providers shall keep, for a period of 5 years
      from the date of any Services invoice, copies of all documents and records
      that relate to such invoice, and the calculations recorded
  therein.

	10. 	Liability of the Service Providers
  

	10.1 	
      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
      none of the Service Providers, any company in the APL Group or the Anooraq
      Group, as the case may be, or any of their respective officers, directors
      or employees shall be liable to the Company or any other person, for any
      actual or contingent losses, claims, liabilities, damages, costs or
      expenses of any nature whatsoever which the Company or any other person
      may suffer or incur as a result of or in connection with the performance
      or rendering of the Services (including any act or omission) by the
      Service Providers or their Representatives in terms of this Agreement,
      except by reason of, and to the extent of, the Service Providers or their
      Representatives (as the case may be) gross negligence and/or wilful
      misconduct or fraud, provided that any such liability shall be limited as
      follows:

	10.1.1 	
      in relation to any particular Ad Hoc Service giving rise
      to such liability, any such liability shall be limited to the Ad Hoc
      Service Fee paid by the Company in relation to such Ad Hoc Service;
    and

	 	 
	10.1.2 	
      in relation to any Continuous Service giving rise to such
      liability, any such liability shall be limited to the total liability
      amount calculated in accordance with the provisions of clause 10.2,
      provided that all liabilities arising in relation to such Continuous
      Service in that Year shall, in aggregate, be limited to the total
      liability amount calculated in accordance with the provisions of clause
      10.2.

	10.2 	
      The total liability amount referred to in clauses 10.1.2
      shall be calculated in accordance with the following
  formula:

	 	  	Rt = 12 x Ry
      
	 	  	                 
      z 
	 	  	  	  
	 	where: 	 Rt 	is the total liability amount to be calculated;
    
	 	  	  	  
			Ry 	is the total Continuous Service Fees amount
      paid to the applicable Service Provider in relation to the relevant
  

18.

	 		
      Continuous Service, since the start of the Year in which
      the liability arises; and

	 	 	 
	 	z 	
      is the number of completed calendar months that have
      elapsed since the start of the Year in which the liability
      arises.

By way of example, if 4 months of the
Year in which the liability arises have elapsed, and the total Continuous
Service Fees paid by the Company to the applicable Service Provider over that 4
month period, in relation to the relevant Continuous Service, is R200 000, then
the total liability amount to be calculated will be R 600 000 (being 12 x
R2000004     , in accordance with the formula set out
above).

	10.3 	Notwithstanding any other provision of this
      Agreement, in no event will: 

	10.3.1 	
      the Service Providers be liable to the Company for any
      indirect or consequential loss or damages; or

	 	 
	10.3.2 	
      the Company be liable to the Service Providers for any
      indirect or consequential loss or damages.

	10.4 	
      The Service Providers shall not be responsible for any
      delay in providing, or failure to provide, any of the Services if the
      delay or failure results from the Company's failure to comply with any or
      all of its obligations in clause 8.

	11. 	Indemnity 

	11.1 	
      Without prejudice to any of the rights of the Service
      Providers or any company in either the APL Group or Anooraq Group, as the
      case may be, or any of their respective officers, directors or employees
      (together, the "Indemnified Parties") at law or in terms of any
      other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify each of the
      Indemnified Parties against all actual and contingent losses, claims,
      liabilities, damages, costs (including, without limitation, legal costs on
      the scale as between attorney and own client and any additional legal
      costs) and expenses of any nature whatsoever which any of the Indemnified
      Parties may suffer or incur as a result of or in connection with the
      performance or rendering of the Services (including any act or omission)
      by the Service Providers, or any of their Representatives in terms of this
      Agreement ("Indemnified Loss"), except by reason of, and to the
      extent

19.

		
      of such Service Provider or its Representative's (as the
      case may be) gross negligence and/or wilful misconduct or fraud.

	 	 
	11.2 	
      The Service Providers shall not admit any liability in
      respect of any claim which may be made in respect of any Indemnified Loss.
      The applicable Service Provider shall notify the Company of any such claim
      within a reasonable time after it becomes aware of such claim, to enable
      the Company to contest such claim.

	 	 
	11.3 	
      The Service Providers give the Company authority to
      defend, compromise or settle the Indemnified Loss at the Company's own
      cost, but subject to such conditions and restrictions as the applicable
      Service Provider may reasonably stipulate if the Company's actions in
      relation to the Indemnified Loss could have implications outside of the
      actual liability concerned for the applicable Service Provider or any
      company in the APL Group or Anooraq Group, as the case may be. The
      applicable Service Provider shall act in accordance with the reasonable
      instructions of the Company in relation to such defence, compromise or
      settlement and shall give to the Company such assistance as it shall
      reasonably require in defending, settling or otherwise resolving the
      Company's liability.

	 	 
	11.4 	
      The Company shall be obliged to pay the relevant
      Indemnified Parties the amount of any Indemnified Loss suffered or
      incurred by them as soon as they are obliged to pay the amount thereof (in
      the case of any Indemnified Loss which involves a payment by them) or as
      soon as they suffer the Indemnified Loss (in the case of an Indemnified
      Loss which does not involve a payment by them). If any Indemnified Party
      makes any payment in respect of the Indemnified Loss, the applicable
      Service Provider shall provide the Company with proof of such
    payment.

	12. 	Force Majeure 

	12.1 	
      Should either Party ("the Affected Party") be
      prevented from fulfilling any of its obligations (excluding the obligation
      to pay any amount due to be paid in terms of this Agreement) in terms of
      this Agreement in respect of the Services as a result of an Event of Force
      Majeure (as defined in clause 12.3), then:

	12.1.1 	
      those obligations shall be deemed to have been suspended
      to the extent that, and for so long as, the Affected Party shall so be
      prevented from

20.

		
      fulfilling them and the corresponding obligations of the
      other Party ("the Unaffected Party") shall be suspended to the
      corresponding extent;

	 	 
	12.1.2 	
      the Affected Party shall promptly notify the Unaffected
      Party in writing of such Event of Force Majeure, and such notice shall
      include an estimation of the approximate period for which the suspension
      in terms of clause 12.1.1 will endure. Such estimate shall not be binding
      on the Affected Party; and

	 	 
	12.1.3 	
      the duration of any period in which any Services affected
      by the Event of Force Majeure shall have been agreed to be performed, as
      well as each period within which, and each date by which, any obligation
      shall be required to be performed in terms of this Agreement, shall be
      extended or postponed, as the case may be, by the period of suspension in
      terms of clause 12.1.1.

	12.2 	
      In the event that the Affected Party shall partially or
      completely cease to be prevented from fulfilling its obligations
      (excluding the obligation to pay any amount due to be paid in terms of
      this Agreement) by the Event of Force Majeure, the Affected Party shall
      immediately give written notice to the Unaffected Party of such cessation,
      and the Affected Party shall, as soon as possible, fulfil its obligations
      which shall previously have been suspended; provided that, in the event,
      and to the extent that, fulfilment shall no longer be possible or the
      Unaffected Party shall have given written notice that it no longer
      requires such fulfilment, the Affected Party shall not be obliged to
      fulfil its suspended obligations, and the Unaffected Party shall not be
      obliged to fulfil its corresponding obligations.

	 	 
	12.3 	
      An "Event of Force Majeure" shall mean any event
      of circumstance whatsoever which shall not be within the reasonable
      control of the Affected Party including vis major, casus
      fortuitus, any act of God, strike, theft, fire, explosion, riot,
      insurrection or other civil disorder, war (whether declared or not) or
      military operations, international restrictions, any requirement of any
      international authority, any requirement of any government or other
      competent local authority, any court order, export control and shortage of
      transport facilities.

	 	 
	12.4 	
      In the event that the Affected Party shall be unable to
      perform any of its obligations (excluding the obligation to pay any amount
      due to be paid in terms of this Agreement) in terms of this Agreement for
      a period of more than

21.

		
      40 Business Days as a result of any Event of Force
      Majeure, the Unaffected Party shall be entitled to cancel this Agreement
      by giving 30 Business Days' written notice to that effect to the Affected
      Party, provided that in relation to the Services provided by the Service
      Providers, if the applicable the Service Provider shall be able to provide
      some or part of the Services in terms of this Agreement, the Company shall
      not be entitled to cancel this Agreement, and the Parties undertake to
      amend the scope of the Services to be provided by the Service Providers in
      terms of this Agreement accordingly. Further, the Company shall be
      entitled to procure those Services affected by the Event of Force Majeure
      from any third party.

	 	 
	12.5 	
      Subject to clause 12.4, in the event that either of the
      Service Providers, as the Affected Party, shall be unable to perform any
      of the Services in terms of this Agreement at any time as a result of an
      Event of Force Majeure, the Company, as the Unaffected Party, shall be
      entitled to procure the relevant service from any third party for as long
      as the Affected Party shall be unable to perform such
  Service.

	13. 	Confidentiality 

	13.1 	
      Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally acknowledges
      that the unauthorised disclosure of the other Party's Confidential
      Information may give rise to substantial damage to the other
  Party.

	 	 
	13.2 	
      Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to
      the other Party that:

	13.2.1 	
      any Confidential Information of the other Party in its
      possession or under its control will be maintained under conditions of
      strict confidentiality;

	 	 
	13.2.2 	
      Confidential Information of the other Party has been or
      will be made available to only those of its Representatives and relevant
      companies of the APL Group and/or the Anooraq Group (“Affiliates”)
      who need to know such Confidential Information for the purpose of
      performing its obligations under this Agreement and to its professional
      advisers for purposes of enforcing and protecting its rights under this
      Agreement;

	 	 
	13.2.3 	
      it will ensure that those Representatives and Affiliates
      comply with the provisions of this clause 13 and will be liable for any
      non-compliance by such Representatives and Affiliates with the provisions
      of this clause 13;

22.

	13.2.4 	
      it will not disclose any Confidential Information of the
      other Party to any other person or entity without the prior written
      consent of the other Party, provided that, subject to clause 13.5, it
      shall be entitled to disclose such information if required by law or by
      any regulatory authority; and

	 	 
	13.2.5 	
      other than to perform its obligations under this
      Agreement, it will not use or copy any of the other Party’s Confidential
      Information for any purpose without the prior written consent of the other
      Party.

	13.3 	
      Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes in
      favour of the other Party that if it becomes aware that there has been, as
      a result of or in the course of the performance of this Agreement,
      unauthorised disclosure or use of the Confidential Information of the
      other Party, it shall promptly bring the matter to the attention of the
      other Party in writing.

	 	 
	13.4 	
      This clause 13 shall not apply to information
    which:

	13.4.1 	
      becomes generally available to the public other than as a
      result of a breach of this Agreement or a breach of a confidentiality
      obligation owed to the Party to whom such Confidential Information relates
      (and the other Party could not reasonably have been aware of such
      breach);

	 	 
	13.4.2 	
      a Party can show by written record made prior to
      disclosure was made available by the other Party on a non-confidential
      basis, provided that, for the purposes of this sub-clause, any information
      made available by the Company to APL shall be deemed to have been made on
      a confidential basis;

	 	 
	13.4.3 	
      becomes available to a Party from a source other than the
      other Party (being the Party to whom such Confidential Information
      relates) and there has not been a breach of a confidentiality obligation
      owed to the Party to whom such Confidential Information relates of which
      the other Party should have reasonably been aware; or

	 	 
	13.4.4 	
      is, at the time of disclosure, in the public
    domain.

	13.5 	
      For the avoidance of doubt, no provision of this
      Agreement shall be construed in such a way that a Party disclosing
      Confidential Information ("the Disclosing Party") to the other
      Party ("the Receiving Party") is deemed to have granted its consent
      to the Receiving Party to disclose the whole or any part of the
      Confidential Information notwithstanding that:

23.

	13.5.1 	
      the Receiving Party receives a request for the whole or
      any part of the Confidential Information in terms of the provisions of the
      Promotion of Access to Information Act, No. 2 of 2000, as amended (“the
      Act”);or

	 	 
	13.5.2 	
      the Disclosing Party has previously disclosed any of its
      Confidential Information to a third party in terms of the provisions of
      the Act or any other law or court order.

	13.6 	
      Subject to the provisions of clause 13.7, the Parties
      agree that the disclosure of Confidential Information by the Receiving
      Party otherwise than in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement
      shall entitle the Disclosing Party to institute action for breach of
      confidence against the Receiving Party as envisaged by section 65 of the
      Act, as amended.

	 	 
	13.7 	
      The Parties acknowledge that the provisions of clause
      13.6 shall not be construed in such a manner as to exclude the
      applicability of any ground of refusal contained in the Act which may be
      applicable in the event that the Receiving Party shall receive a request
      for the whole or any part of the Confidential Information in terms of the
      Act.

	 	 
	13.8 	
      The provisions of this clause 13 shall continue to apply
      for a period of 5 years after the termination or expiry of this Agreement
      for any reason.

	14. 	Default 

	14.1 	If a Party: 

	14.1.1 	
      takes steps to place itself, or is placed, in
      liquidation, whether voluntarily or compulsorily, or in judicial
      management, in either case whether provisionally or finally;

	 	 
	14.1.2 	
      takes steps to de-register itself or is
    de-registered;

the Party shall be in default.

	14.2 	
      Subject to any express provision to the contrary
      contained in this Agreement, if a Party commits a material breach of any
      provision of this Agreement or any provision of any Services Agreement and
      fails to remedy the breach within 14 days after it receives written notice
      to do so, provided that:

24.

	14.2.1 	
      if the breach can reasonably be remedied within a shorter
      period, the Party giving the notice may specify that shorter period in the
      notice and the Party in default shall remedy the breach within that
      period;

	 	 
	14.2.2 	
      if the breach cannot reasonably be remedied within such
      14 day period, the Party in default shall be entitled to an extension, not
      exceeding a further 14 days, to remedy the breach, on condition that the
      Party in default provides evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the
      other Party within such 14 days that effective steps to remedy the breach
      have been initiated and continues to provide such evidence on an ongoing
      basis that the steps are being expeditiously
pursued;

		
      the Party shall be in default.

	 	 
	14.3 	
      If a Party is in default (“the Defaulting Party”),
      the other Party ("the Aggrieved Party") shall be entitled, at its
      option without prejudice to any other right that it may have under this
      Agreement or at law:

	14.3.1 	
      to uphold this Agreement against the Defaulting Party and
      sue for specific performance of the Defaulting Party’s obligations to it
      under this Agreement, with or without a claim for damages; or

	 	 
	14.3.2 	
      to uphold this Agreement against the Defaulting Party and
      sue for damages; or

	 	 
	14.3.3 	
      to cancel:

	14.3.3.1 	
      this Agreement together with all the Services Agreements,
      if the default arises:

	14.3.3.1.1 	
      in terms of clause 14.1; or

	 	 
	14.3.3.1.2 	
      as a result of a breach in terms of clause 14.2, which
      breach is, when considered against all Services performed and rendered by
      the applicable Service Provider to the Company at the time, a material
      breach of this Agreement and/or the Services Agreements viewed as a whole
      (rather than a material breach of only the relevant Services Agreement);
      or

	14.3.3.2 	
      the relevant Services Agreement only, if the default
      arises as a result of a breach in terms of clause 14.2, which breach is,
      when considered against all Services performed and rendered by
  the

25.

applicable Service Provider to the
Company at the time, a material breach of only the relevant Services Agreement
(rather than a material breach of this Agreement and/or the Services Agreements
viewed as a whole),

with or without a claim for damages,
in which case written notice of the cancellation shall take effect on the giving
of the notice.

	14.4 	
      The termination of this Agreement in relation to one of
      the Service Providers for any reason whatsoever shall not affect the
      rights and obligations as between the remaining Service Provider and the
      Company and the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall remain in
      full force and effect and apply mutatis mutandis to the remaining
      Service Provider and the Company.

      designates ("the CEO's") of each Party.

	17.3 	
      entire contract

	 	 
		
      This Agreement (read together with the Services
      Agreements, as may be relevant) contains all the express provisions agreed
      on by the Parties with regard to the subject matter thereof, and
      supersedes and novates in its entirety any previous understandings or
      agreements among the Parties in respect thereof; and the Parties waive the
      right to rely on any alleged provision not expressly contained in this
      Agreement (read together with the Services Agreements, as may be
      relevant).

	 	 
	17.4 	
      no stipulation for the benefit of a third
      person

	 	 
		
      Save for the provisions of clauses 10 and 11, and save as
      is expressly provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, no provision of
      this Agreement constitutes a stipulation for the benefit of a third person
      (i.e. a stipulatio alteri) which, if accepted by the person, would
      bind any Party in favour of that person.

      recorded in this Agreement.

      on behalf of the Parties.

	 	 
	17.7 	
      indulgences

	 	 
		
      No indulgence granted by a Party to the other Party shall
      constitute a waiver of any of that Party's rights under this Agreement;
      accordingly, that Party shall not be precluded, as a consequence of having
      granted such indulgence, from exercising any rights against the other
      Party which may have arisen in the past or which may arise in the
      future.

	 	 
	17.8
