	 	10.1.	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 any Party be submitted to arbitration in Johannesburg in
accordance with the AFSA rules, which arbitration shall be administered by AFSA. 

  
 6 

	 	10.2.	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 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

interrupting extinctive prescription in terms of the Prescription Act, No 68 of 1969.

notice has not been given in accordance with this clause.

	 	14.3.	No Indulgences 

 No latitude, extension of time or other indulgence which may be given
or allowed by any Party to the other Parties in respect of the performance of any obligation hereunder, and no delay or forbearance in the enforcement of any right of any Party arising from this Agreement and no single or partial exercise of any
right by any Party under this Agreement, shall in any circumstances be construed to be an implied consent or election by such Party or operate as a waiver or a novation of or otherwise affect any of the Party’s rights in terms of or arising
from this Agreement or estop or preclude any such Party from enforcing at any time and without notice, strict and punctual compliance with each and every provision or term hereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Party in exercising any right,

invalidity, illegality, unlawfulness or for any other reason whatever, shall, in such jurisdiction only and only to the extent that it is so unenforceable, be treated as pro non scripto and the remaining provisions and clauses of this
Agreement shall remain of full force and effect. The Parties declare that it is their intention that this Agreement would be executed without such unenforceable provision if they were aware of such unenforceability at the time of execution hereof.

  

	 	14.6.	Continuing Effectiveness of Certain Provisions 

 The expiration or termination of this
Agreement shall not affect such of the provisions of this Agreement as expressly provide that they will operate after any such expiration or termination or which of necessity must continue to have effect after such expiration or termination,
notwithstanding that the clauses themselves do not expressly provide for this. 
  

	 	14.7.	No Assignment

provision if they were aware of such unenforceability at the time of execution hereof.
