Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Company fails to make payment as required by clause 3.2, the Noteholders may at their option by notice in writing served on the Company:

       
(A)

terminate this Agreement forthwith;

4



  (C)

where payment(s) has or have been made in accordance with clause 3.2 but short of full payment thereunder (the aggregate of such payments referred to herein as “Part Payment”), accept partial performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement as provided in clause 3.5.


3.4

Termination

     

The Noteholders may terminate this Agreement forthwith if the Company or the Guarantor breaches any of its or their obligations under this Agreement. Termination of this Agreement pursuant to this clause 3.4 or clause 3.3(A) shall not affect the Noteholders’ rights against the Company and/or the Guarantor.

     
3.5

Partial performance

     

If the Noteholders accept partial performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement as provided in clause 3.3(C):

     
(A)

Each Noteholder shall deliver to the Company for redemption the number of Convertible Notes (rounded down to the nearest whole number) held by it as follows:


Number of Convertible Bonds to be redeemed (rounded down) = That Noteholder’s Proportionate Share of the Net Redemption Amount divided by 100,000

Net Redemption Amount” is the amount of the Part Payment less US$500,000.

For the purposes of illustration only:

If Part Payment amounts to US$4,000,000:

The Net Redemption Amount is US$4,000,000 less US$500,00 = US$3,500,000

Number of Convertible Bonds held by Investec to be redeemed (rounded down) is:

58.33% x 3,500,000/100,000 = 20

A Noteholder’s “Proportionate Share” is the percentage figure set forth in the last column of the table in clause 2.1.

  (B)

With respect to the amount of the Part Payment that is not utilised for the redemption of Convertible Notes as provided above, Noteholders shall be entitled absolutely to that amount in accordance with their respective Proportionate Share.

     
  (C)

Forthwith upon notice being served of the Noteholders’ acceptance of partial performance pursuant to clause 3.3(C), the Guarantor shall pay to each Noteholder its Proportionate Share of the amount resulting from the following:

“X” less the amount of the Part Payment

where “X” is the Principal Amount of all the Convertible Notes (i.e. US$6,000,000) plus Accrued Interest thereon up to and including the date of

5


actual payment by Guarantor of all amounts due by him under this Agreement.

  (D)

Against receipt by the Noteholders of all monies payable by the Guarantor under this clause 3.5, each Noteholder shall transfer to the Guarantor all remaining Convertible Bonds held by it.


3.6

Noteholders’ undertakings in relation to additional convertible bonds

     

Each of the Noteholders undertakes with the Company that, subject to Completion taking place and with effect from Completion, each of the Noteholders shall relinquish and forfeit its right to acquire further convertible bonds from the Company (as may be prescribed under existing contractual arrangements between the Company and each of the Noteholders). In addition, prior to Completion none of the Noteholders shall exercise such rights to acquire further convertible bonds from the Company.

     
4.
