Effectiveness of this Agreement

This Agreement was originally executed and delivered by Purchaser to ARDES (on behalf of itself and other shareholders of the Company towards which ARDES is subject to a tag along right) to allow ARDES to distribute such Agreement to such other shareholders in accordance with the tag along rights of such shareholders under the Shareholders’ Agreement. Purchaser’s offer to purchase the Shares of such shareholders (including ARDES) was subject to holders of at least 75.1% (or any lower percentage as Purchaser may determine in its sole discretion) of all issued Shares accepting such offer. Therefore this Agreement shall only become a binding agreement at such time, if any, as it has been executed and delivered to Purchaser by holders of Shares such that the Shares owned by such holders represent not less than 75.1% of the total number of Shares (or such lower percentage as Purchaser may have determined in its sole discretion and notified Sellers’ thereof in writing to be acceptable to cause this Agreement to become binding and effective). If this Agreement has not so be-come binding and effective until 17:00 CET on 31 August 2008 at the latest, this Agreement, unless otherwise determined by Purchaser in its sole discretion and notified in writing accordingly to ARDES, shall lapse automatically.

Agreement to Sell and Purchase

Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement each Seller hereby agrees to sell the number of Shares set forth opposite the name of such Seller on Schedule 1.1.LS to Purchaser for the Purchase Price calculated for each Seller according to Clause 3 below and Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase from the Sellers such number of Shares for such price. Each Seller has also indicated on its signature page whether it elects to receive cash, Net1 Stock or a combination of Net1 Stock and cash for the Shares being sold by such Seller.

Purchase Price

The purchase price for each Sale Share (the “Purchase Price per Sale Share”) shall be an amount calculated as follows:

CUE

means the 2007 consolidated unaudited earnings of the Company of EUR 5,745,122.90.

shall be (i) 15 for any Sale Share to be sold for cash and (ii) 19 for any for any Sale Share to be sold for shares of Net1 Stock.

means (i) any payment made by the Company that constitutes Personal Leakage and (ii) the Economic Share of any payment made by the Company that constitutes Leakage within the meaning of subclause (g) of the definition of Leakage.

means costs of legal counsel to Seller to the extent paid by Purchaser divided by the Number of Sale Shares.

first, the total number of such Seller’s Sale Shares to be sold for Net1 Stock shall be multiplied by the Purchase Price per Sale Share (using 19 as the Factor when determining such Purchase Price per Sale Share), with the result expressed in euros;

second, such amount of euros determined under sub-Clause (a) shall be divided by 0.644 (in order to convert such euro amount into a US dollar amount using an exchange rate of USD1=EUR0.644); and

third, the US dollar amount determined under sub-clause (b) shall be divided by the Relevant Net1 Stock Price (in order to convert such US dollar amount into a number of whole shares of Net1 Stock using a valuation for each share of Net1 Stock equal to the volume weighted average of the price of Net1 Stock during the 90 day trading day period prior to 30 May 2008).

In the event that the foregoing computation would, when calculating the Purchase Price being payable for all Sale Shares of a Seller, ultimately result in a fractional share of Net1 Stock, then instead of issuing a fractional share, the fractional amount shall be reconverted to euros at the exchange rate determined pursuant to sub-clause (b) and such amount of euros shall be paid to the relevant Seller.

Payment of Purchase Price; Dividend

Purchaser shall pay to each Seller the respective Purchase Price for the Shares sold by such Seller hereunder to the Seller’s Account of such Seller in two installments.

The first installment (“First Installment”) in an amount equal to the relevant Purchase Price less the Deferred Amount (as defined below) shall be due and pay-able by Purchaser at Closing in cash or shares of Net1 Stock as each Seller shall have elected as set forth on the signature page hereto.

The second installment of the relevant Purchase Price in an amount equal to the Gearing On-a-Per-Share-Basis multiplied by the number of Shares being sold by such Seller hereunder (the “Deferred Amount”) shall be withheld by Purchaser until 30 March 2009. The Deferred Amount shall carry interest from the Closing Date until 30 March 2009 at the Interest Rate and shall be due and payable by the Purchaser to the relevant Seller together with such accrued interest on 30 March 2009; provided, however, that if Purchaser has sent a written notice to such Seller in accordance with Clause 6.4.1 before 30 March 2009 (such notice a “Freezing Notice”), Purchaser shall have the right to pay a portion of the Deferred Amount equal to the amount (of Damage Amount and/or Leakage, respectively) duly specified in such Freezing Notice into the Escrow Account and only pay the remainder (if any) of the Deferred Amount and accrued interest to such Seller on 30 March 2009. Purchaser shall not have the right to set-off or unilaterally withhold any amount payable by Purchaser hereunder against the Purchase Price but shall be obligated to pay either to the respective Seller or into the Escrow Ac-count, respectively. Purchaser shall pay to Sellers interest on any amount re-leased from the Escrow Account at the Interest Rate calculated from the Closing Date until the date of such release, provided, however, that any amount of interest accrued on such released amount on the Escrow Account and paid to Seller by the Escrow Agent shall be credited towards such payment obligation of Purchaser.

The 2007 Dividend to the extent attributable to the Sale Shares shall be for the benefit of and paid to the Sellers. As resolved by such shareholders’ meeting of the Company, the 2007 Dividend shall be paid in two installments: the first installment to the extent attributable to the Sale Shares was paid out to the Sellers on 1 July 2008. The Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser a duly executed Instruction Notice by which the Company shall be instructed to, and the Purchaser shall pro-cure that the Company does, on 1 December 2008, pay such second installment of the 2007 Dividend to the extent attributable to the Sale Shares into the Escrow Account and held in escrow by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms thereof to secure any claims of Purchaser for breach of a Representation and Warranty or repayment of Leakage in accordance with Clause 4.3 against the Sellers until 30 March 2009 (or such later date by which any such claim specified by the Purchaser in a Freezing Notice has been finally established, settled, denied, withdrawn or acknowledged, as the case may be). Upon release of any amount of the 2007 Dividend from the Escrow Account to the Sellers, Purchaser shall pay to Sellers interest on such released amount at the Interest Rate calculated from 1 December 2008 until the date of such release, provided, however, that any amount of interest accrued on such released amount on the Escrow Account and paid to Seller by the Escrow Agent shall be credited towards such payment obligation of Purchaser.

Leakage

Upon Purchaser’s written request specifying the grounds of Purchaser’s request in all reasonable details, each Seller shall repay to Purchaser within 14 days of receipt of a respective written notice providing all reasonable details of the relevant Leakage claimed by Purchaser (i) any amount constituting Personal Leakage and (ii) the Economic Share of any amount constituting Leakage within the meaning of subclause (g) of the definition

of Leakage, in each case to the extent such amount was not taken into account when calculating the Purchase Price per Sale Share pursuant to Clause 3 above.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the portion of the escrow amount held in the Escrow Account attributable to a Seller is not sufficient to cover any Damage Amount or Leakage repayable by such Seller hereunder, such Seller shall be personally liable for the repayment of the remainder subject to the terms hereof.

Remedy in case of breach of Representation and Warranty as to Company

In case of a breach of any Representation and Warranty made by a Seller under Clause 5.2 (Representation and Warranty as to the Company), such Seller’s liability to Purchaser shall be, and shall be limited to, payment of (i) the Economic Share of the Damage Amount of such breach and (ii) such portion of any reasonable documented costs incurred by Purchaser attributable to the enforcement of a claim based on a breach of such Representation and Warranty (including reasonable legal fees) against such Seller (without any double recovery of costs by Purchaser in case of an enforcement of a similar claim against other Sellers).

The “Damage Amount” shall be the actual damage (Mangelschaden) of any Representation and Warranty not being true and correct as measured on the level of the relevant member of the BGS Group with respect to which such breach occurred, i.e. (a) the amount that is needed to put such member of the BGS Group into the position it would have been had the respective Representation and Warranty not been breached; provided, however, if (i) the relevant breach cannot be cured by payment of money or (ii) the amount needed to put such BGS Group member into such position would be higher than the damage actually suffered by Purchaser (with Sellers having the burden of proof for both (i) and (ii)), it shall be (b) such amount by which the value of the Company is reduced as compared to the value it would have had the respective Representation and Warranty not been breached; provided that the Damage Amount (and Sellers’ corresponding liability) shall in no event include or take into account any consequential damages (Mangelfolgeschäden) or loss of profits (entgangener Gewinn).

Exclusive Remedy

The liabilities of a Seller as set forth in this Clause 6.3 (subject in each case to the limitations and qualifications set forth herein) shall be the exclusive liabilities of a Seller in case of a breach of a Representation and Warranty and Purchaser’s

Limitation in Time

No Seller shall be liable for or subject to any claim (and any such claim shall be time barred) unless with respect to a (i) claim based on a breach of a Representation and Warranty made in Clause 5.2 or (ii) a claim for repayment of Leakage in accordance with Clause 4.3, such Seller has received a written notice from Purchaser describing all reasonable details for the basis of such claim and, to the extent available, of the Damage Amount or the amount of Leakage, respectively, within the period before such claim becomes time-barred hereunder pursuant to Clause 6.4.2.

Any and all claims for repayment of any Leakage in accordance with Clause 4.3 and based on a breach of a Representation and Warranty of the Sellers shall become time-barred (verjährt) two years after the Closing, except for (i) Claims based on a breach of the Representations and Warranties made pursuant to Clause 5.1 and 5.2.2 (as to capitalization of the Company) which shall be given for and expire after a period of five years and (ii) Claims based on a breach of the Representations and Warranties made under Clause 5.2.9 (as to taxes), which shall expire 3 months after the earlier of (x) expiry of the respective statute of limitation applicable to such tax or (y) the decision of the tax authorities with respect to any tax or financial period having become final (rechtskräftig).

Limitation in Amount

De Minimis

No Seller shall be liable hereunder for any individual claim of Purchaser (other than a claim for breach of a Representation and Warranty made by the respective Seller in Clauses 5.1,1 and 5.2.9) unless the aggregate liability of all Sellers in respect of such claim exceeds EUR 5,000 (five thousand Euro), in which event, however, Sellers shall be liable for the full amount (of the claim, or the respective Economic Share thereof, as applicable) and not merely the excess over EUR 5,000. In case, a claim falls below the aforementioned de minimis amount, it shall be disregarded for purposes of this Agreement.

Deductible

No Seller shall be liable for any claim of Purchaser unless the Damage Amount exceeds EUR 500,000 (five hundred thousand Euro) in which event Sellers shall in aggregate be liable only for the excess over EUR 500,000 (five hundred thousand Euro) (“Deductible”).

Cap

The aggregate amount of the liability of a Seller hereunder shall not exceed the Purchase Price to be paid to such Seller (“Cap”). In the event that a Seller has made payments equal to the Cap then all other claims of Purchaser against such Seller under this Agreement, whether known or unknown, strict or contingent, present or future, and based on whatever grounds shall be deemed to have been fully and finally settled and such Seller shall have no more liability, obligation or debt vis-à-vis the Purchaser in respect of any and all such other claims.

Obligation to Mitigate

General

Following the Closing, Purchaser shall, by operation of this Agreement and by operation of the general obligations under the Austrian Civil Code (Allgemeines Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch, ABGB), be responsible to mitigate any loss or damage which it or any member of the BGS Group may suffer in connection with any breach by a Seller of the terms of this Agreement or any fact, matter, event or circumstance giving rise to a Claim and nothing herein shall in any way limit or restrict such obligation to mitigate any loss or damage. Purchaser’s responsibility to mitigate (as set out in the preceding sentence) shall include an obligation to procure that the respective member of the BGS Group takes every reasonable action necessary or advisable to so mitigate.

Recovery from Third Persons

If a Seller pays to Purchaser an amount in discharge of a Claim or otherwise remedies a breach of Representation and Warranty hereunder and the Purchaser or any member of the BGS Group subsequently recovers (whether by payment, discount, credit, relief or otherwise) from a third person a sum which is referable to the matter giving rise to the Claim or obtains a relief which is so referable, Purchaser shall (or, as appropriate, shall procure that the respective member of the BGS Group shall) forthwith repay to such Seller:

an amount equal to the Economic Share of the sum recovered from the third person (or the value of the relief obtained, calculated by reference to the amount saved less, for the avoidance of doubt, any reasonable and documented costs incurred in connection with such recovery); or

if the figure resulting under Clause 6.6.2.1 above is greater than the amount paid by Seller to Purchaser or the aggregate of payments previously made by Seller on account of any other remedy made in respect of the relevant Claim, such lesser amount as shall have been so paid or incurred by Seller.

Discounted Liabilities/Contingent Claims

If any Claim shall arise by reason of some liability which at the time that the Claim is notified to Sellers is contingent only, no Seller shall be under any obligation to make any payment to Purchaser or undertake any other remedy in respect of such Claim, except if and to the extent such contingent liability materializes.

Demerger

Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the participation of the Company held in ZAO SBERCARD together with a cash amount of EUR 33,150.62 shall be spun-off and demerger (abgespalten) (such demerger the “Demerger”) into a newly established company (“NewCo”) to be held proportionally by all existing shareholders of the Company (verhältniswahrende Spaltung zur Neugründung). Purchaser further acknowledges that such spun off assets and all associated rights shall therefore not be included in and part of the transaction contemplated hereby.

The Demerger shall be resolved upon by the Company’s shareholder meeting (Hauptversammlung) currently planned to take place on or around 24 July 2008 and shall be filed shortly thereafter with the Austrian Company Register (Firmenbuch) for registration.

Sellers agree to use their respective reasonable best efforts to procure the implementation of such Demerger as soon as practicable. However, in case the Demerger, for whatever reason, does not become effective prior to the Closing Date (whether due to the Company’s shareholder meeting not having taken place prior to Closing, the Demerger not being registered prior to Closing or otherwise), Purchaser agrees to undertake all actions reasonably required or advisable to effect such Demerger as soon as reasonably practicable after Closing. In case Purchaser as a result of having become a shareholder of the Company at Closing, takes over and holds shares in NewCo as a result of such Demerger becoming effective after Closing, Purchaser acknowledges that it takes over and holds a number of shares in NewCo corresponding to the Number of Sale Shares solely as trustee for Sellers and shall (i) not dispose of in any way or establish or permit to subsist any rights of third parties of whatsoever nature relating to such shares without Sellers’ prior express written consent and (ii) transfer the relevant number of shares in

NewCo to each Seller or a nominee of a respective Seller without undue delay after taking over or holding such shares. It is understood that such shares shall at all times be the sole and exclusive economic ownership (wirtschaftliches Eigentum) of Sellers, and Sellers shall bear any and all risk and benefit from any and all chances and profits relating to such shares in NewCo.

Purchaser shall use its best efforts to procure that the Company indemnifies and holds harmless NewCo for and against any liability of the Company that NewCo assumes pursuant to Section 15 of the Austrian Demerger Act (Spaltungsgesetz).

All costs and expenses arising out of or in relation to the preparation or implementation of the Demerger shall be borne by NewCo and Sellers shall fully indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and the BGS Group for and against such cost and expenses.

Undertakings

Ordinary Course of Business

From the Agreement Date until Closing, Sellers shall (except as may be approved by Purchaser in writing) use all of their respective corporate rights as shareholders of the Company to ensure that the business of the BGS Group is carried on only in the ordinary course of business. For the avoidance of doubt, Sellers undertake to use all of their respective corporate rights as shareholder of the Company to procure, to the extent legally possible and it is within their power from time to time, that between the Agreement Date an Closing, no action is taken or resolution passed by the Company in respect of the following matters (other than as contemplated hereby or in connection with the Demerger), without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which shall not be unreasonably withheld:

From time to time, as and when reasonably requested by Purchaser, Sellers shall at Purchaser’s cost execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions as Purchaser may reasonably deem necessary to con-summate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to satisfy the conditions to the Closing required to be satisfied by Purchaser.
