Issuance, Sale and Delivery of the Shares The Shares have been duly authorized and, when issued, delivered and paid for in the manner set forth in this Agreement, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and will conform in all material respects to the description thereof set forth in the Private Placement Memorandum. No preemptive rights or other rights to subscribe for or purchase exist with respect to the issuance and sale of the Shares by the Company pursuant to this Agreement. No stockholder of the Company has any right (which has not been waived or has not expired by reason of lapse of time following notification of the Company's intent to file the Registration Statement) to require the Company to register the sale of any shares owned by such stockholder under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), in the Registration Statement. No further approval or authority of the stockholders or the Board of Directors of the Company will be required for the issuance and sale of the Shares to be sold by the Company as contemplated herein.
Sale and Delivery of Shares (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company agrees to issue and sell through the Agent acting as sales agent or directly to the Agent acting as principal from time to time, and the Agent agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell as sales agent for the Company, the Shares. Sales of the Shares, if any, through the Agent acting as sales agent or directly to the Agent acting as principal, will be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the NYSE or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices.
(b) The Shares are to be sold on a daily basis or otherwise as shall be agreed to by the Company and the Agent on any trading day (other than a day on which the NYSE is scheduled to close prior to its regular weekday closing time, each, a “Trading Day”) that the Company has satisfied its obligations under Section 6 of this Agreement and that the Company has instructed the Agent to make such sales. On any Trading Day, the Company may instruct the Agent by telephone (confirmed promptly by telecopy or email, which confirmation will be promptly acknowledged by the Agent) as to the maximum number of Shares to be sold by the Agent on such day (in any event not in excess of the number available for issuance under the Prospectus and the currently effective Registration Statement) and the minimum price per Share at which such Shares may be sold. On any Trading Day, the Company shall sell Shares through only one of the Sales Agents, but in no event through both, and the Company shall give prior notice to the Sales Agents by telephone (confirmed promptly by telecopy or email, which confirmation will be promptly acknowledged by the Agent) to notify any change of the Sales Agent through whom the sale of Shares will be effected and the Company shall in no event request that Agent and an Alternative Agent sell Shares on the same day. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing limitation shall not apply to sales solely to employees, directors or security holders of the Company or its subsidiaries, or to a trustee or other person acquiring such securities for the accounts of such persons in which either of the Sales Agents is acting for the Company in a capacity other than as Agent under the Sales Agreements, any Terms Agreement or any Alternative Terms Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Agent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell as sales agent all of the Shares so designated by the Company. The Company and the Agent each acknowledge and agree that (A) there can be no assurance that the Agent will be successful in selling the Shares, (B) the Agent will incur no liability or obligation to the Company or any other person or entity if it does not sell Shares for any reason other than a failure by the Agent to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable law and regulations to sell such Shares as required by this Agreement, and (C) the Agent shall be under no obligation to purchase Shares on a principal basis except as otherwise specifically agreed by the Agent and the Company pursuant to a Terms Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of a Terms Agreement, the terms of such Terms Agreement will control.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not authorize the issuance and sale of, and the Agent as sales agent shall not be obligated to use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell, any Shares (i) at a price lower than the minimum price therefor authorized from time to time, (ii) in a number or with an aggregate gross sales price in excess of the number or gross sales price, as the case may be, of Shares authorized from time to time to be issued and sold under the Sales Agreements, in each case, by the Company’s board of directors, or a duly authorized committee thereof, or (iii) in a number in excess of the number of Shares approved for listing on the NYSE, and in each case notified to the Agent in writing; provided, however, that clause (iii) of this subsection (c) shall not apply until the earlier of (x) the approval for listing of the Shares on the NYSE or (y) three business days after the date hereof. In addition, the Company or the Agent may, upon notice to the other party hereto by telephone (confirmed promptly by telecopy or email, which confirmation will be promptly acknowledged), suspend the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement for any reason and at any time; provided, however, that such suspension or termination shall not affect or impair the parties’ respective obligations with respect to the Shares sold hereunder prior to the giving of such notice.
(d) The gross sales price of any Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement by the Agent acting as sales agent of the Company shall be the market price prevailing at the time of sale for shares of the Company’s Common Stock sold by the Agent on the NYSE or otherwise, at prices relating to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The compensation payable to the Agent for sales of Shares shall be up to 2.0% of the gross sales price of the Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement. The Company may sell Shares to the Agent as principal at a price agreed upon at the relevant Applicable Time and pursuant to a separate Terms Agreement. The remaining proceeds, after further deduction for any transaction fees, transfer taxes or similar taxes or fees imposed by any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory organization in respect of such sales, shall constitute the net proceeds to the Company for such Shares (the “Net Proceeds”). The Agent shall notify the Company as promptly as practicable if any deduction referenced in the preceding sentence will be required with an itemization of such deductions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company engages the Agent for a sale of Shares that would constitute a “distribution,” within the meaning of Rule 100 of Regulation M under the 1934 Act, the Company and the Agent will agree to compensation that is customary for the Agent with respect to such transactions.
(e) The Agent shall provide written confirmation to the Company following the close of trading on the NYSE each day in which Shares are sold under this Agreement setting forth the number of Shares sold on such day, the aggregate gross sales proceeds of the Shares, the aggregate Net Proceeds to the Company and the aggregate compensation payable by the Company to the Agent with respect to such sales.
(f) Under no circumstances shall the aggregate gross sales price or number, as the case may be, of Shares sold pursuant to the Sales Agreements, any Terms Agreement and any Alternative Terms Agreement exceed the aggregate gross sales price or number, as the case may be, of Shares of Common Stock (i) set forth in the preamble paragraph of this Agreement, (ii) available for issuance under the Prospectus and the then currently effective Registration Statement, (iii) authorized from time to time to be issued and sold under the Sales Agreements, any Terms Agreement or any Alternative Terms Agreement by the Company’s board of directors, or a duly authorized committee thereof or (iv) approved for listing on the NYSE; provided, however, that clause (iv) of this subsection (f) shall not apply until the earlier of (x) the approval for listing of the Shares on the NYSE or (y) three business days after the date hereof. In addition, under no circumstances shall any Shares be sold at a price lower than the minimum price therefor authorized from time to time by the Company’s board of directors, or a duly authorized committee thereof, and notified to the Agent in writing.
(g) Other than during a Suspension Period, if either party believes that the exemptive provisions set forth in Rule 101(c)(1) of Regulation M under the 1934 Act (applicable to securities with an average daily trading volume of $1,000,000 that are issued by an issuer whose common equity securities have a public float value of at least $150,000,000) are not satisfied with respect to the Company or the Shares, it shall promptly notify the other party and sales of Shares under the Sales Agreements, any Terms Agreement and any Alternative Terms Agreement shall be suspended until that or other exemptive provisions have been satisfied in the judgment of each party; provided, that such notice shall be a condition precedent to the commencement of any offering of Shares under this Agreement upon the termination of the Suspension Period, if applicable.
(h) Settlement for sales of Shares pursuant to this Section 2 will occur on the third business day that is also a Trading Day following the trade date on which such sales are made, unless another date shall be agreed to by the Company and the Agent (each such day, a “Settlement Date”). On each Settlement Date, the Shares sold through the Agent for settlement on such date shall be delivered by the Company to the Agent against payment of the Net Proceeds from the sale of such Shares. Settlement for all Shares shall be effected by book-entry delivery of Shares to the Agent’s account at The Depository Trust Company against payments by the Agent of the Net Proceeds from the sale of such Shares in same day funds delivered to an account designated by the Company. If the Company shall default on its obligation to deliver Shares on any Settlement Date, the Company shall (i) indemnify and hold the Agent harmless against any loss, claim or damage arising from or as a result of such default by the Company and (ii) pay the Agent any commission to which it would otherwise be entitled absent such default. If the Agent breaches this Agreement by failing to deliver the applicable Net Proceeds on any Settlement Date for Shares delivered by the Company, the Agent will pay the Company interest based on the effective overnight federal funds rate until such proceeds, together with such interest, have been fully paid.
(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not offer, sell or deliver, or request the offer or sale, any Shares and, by notice to the Agent given by telephone (confirmed promptly by telecopy or email), shall cancel any instructions for the offer or sale of any Shares, and the Agent shall not be obligated to offer or sell any Shares, (i) during any period in which the Agent believes the Company is, or could be deemed to be, in possession of material non-public information or (ii) except as provided in Section 2(j) below, at any time from and including the date (each, an “Announcement Date”) on which the Company shall issue a press release containing, or shall otherwise publicly announce, its earnings, revenues or other results of operations (each, an “Earnings Announcement”) through and including the time that is 24 hours after the time that the Company files (a “Filing Time”) a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or an Annual Report on Form 10-K that includes consolidated financial statements as of and for the same period or periods, as the case may be, covered by such Earnings Announcement.
(j) If the Company wishes to offer, sell or deliver Shares at any time during the period from and including an Announcement Date through and including the time that is 24 hours after the corresponding Filing Time, the Company shall (i) prepare and deliver to the Agent (with a copy to counsel to the Agent) a Current Report on Form 8-K which shall include substantially the same financial and related information as was set forth in the relevant Earnings Announcement (other than any earnings projections, similar forward-looking data and officers’ quotations) (each, an “Earnings 8-K”), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, (ii) provide the Agent with the officers’ certificate, accountants’ letter and opinions and letters of counsel called for by Sections 3(j), (k) and (l) hereof, respectively, subject to further agreement between the Company and the Agent, (iii) afford the Agent the opportunity to conduct a due diligence review in accordance with Section 3(o) hereof and (iv) file such Earnings 8-K with the Commission, then the provisions of clause (iii) of Section 2(i) shall not be applicable for the period from and after the time at which the foregoing conditions shall have been satisfied (or, if later, the time that is 24 hours after the time that the relevant Earnings Announcement was first publicly released) through and including the time that is 24 hours after the Filing Time of the relevant Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K, as the case may be. For purposes of clarity, the parties hereto agree that (A) the delivery of any officers’ certificate, accountants’ letter and opinions and letters of counsel pursuant to this Section 2(j) shall not relieve the Company from any of its obligations under this Agreement with respect to any Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K, as the case may be, including, without limitation, the obligation to deliver officers’ certificates, accountants’ letters and legal opinions and letters as provided in Section 3 hereof and (B) this Section 2(j) shall in no way affect or limit the operation of the provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 2(i), which shall have independent application.
Orders and Delivery 4.1 The Purchaser may from time to time place Purchase Orders on the Supplier for the Goods and/or Services. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Purchaser from purchasing the same or similar goods and services from a third party.
4.2 The Purchaser may at any time terminate a PO, or where applicable this Agreement, for convenience if the relevant contract in terms whereof Goods and/or Services are on-sold by the Purchaser to a Customer is terminated, by giving the Supplier 30 (thirty) days’ written notice to such effect, in which event the Purchaser shall be liable to pay only for Goods ordered under Purchase Orders placed prior to the delivery of such notice of termination.
4.3 The Goods to be supplied pursuant to this Agreement shall be delivered by the Supplier DDP Delivered Duty Paid (at the Purchaser’s or the Customer’s premises, Gauteng) on or before the delivery date/s stated in the relevant PO or delivery schedule. Time is of the essence in the performance of the Supplier’s obligations.
4.4 Subject to the Supplier’s strict compliance with this clause 4, the Purchaser shall grant to the Supplier an extension of time if and to the extent that delivery is or will be delayed by the following causes:
4.4.1 Additional Goods and/or Services are ordered under clause 5, or
4.4.2 Any delay, impediment or prevention caused by either force majeure or the Purchaser occurs.
4.5 If the Supplier considers itself entitled to an extension of time, the Supplier shall give notice to the Purchaser describing the event or circumstance giving rise to the requested extension of time (in this clause referred to as the “claim”). The notice shall be given as soon as practicable, and in any event not later than 2 (two) days after the Supplier became aware, or should have become aware, of the event or circumstance.
4.6 Within 7 (seven) days after the Supplier sent the notice referred to in clause 4.5 or within such other period as may be proposed by the Supplier and approved by the Purchaser, the Supplier shall send to the Purchaser a fully detailed claim and revised draft delivery schedule which includes full supporting particulars of the basis and duration of the claim. If the event or circumstance giving rise to the claim has a continuing effect:
4.6.1 this fully detailed claim shall be considered as interim;
4.6.2 the Supplier shall send further interim claims at weekly intervals, giving the accumulated delay, and such further particulars as the Purchaser may reasonably require; and
4.6.3 the Supplier shall send a final claim within 7 (seven) days after the end of the effects resulting from the event or circumstance, or within such other period as may be proposed by the Supplier and approved by the Purchaser.
4.7 Within 7 (seven) days after receiving a claim or any further particulars supporting a previous claim, or within such other period as may be proposed by the Purchaser and approved by the Supplier, the Purchaser shall respond with approval, or with disapproval and detailed comments. It may also request further clarification or additional particulars. Should the Purchaser fail to respond within the stated time, it shall be deemed to have rejected the claim.
4.8 A revised delivery schedule shall only become valid and binding once approved by the Purchaser, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Guaranteed Delivery Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a shareholder desires to tender Shares pursuant to the Offer and the certificates for the Shares to be tendered are not immediately available, or time will not permit the Letter of Transmittal and all documents required by the Letter of Transmittal to reach the Depositary prior to 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time on the Expiration Date, or a shareholder cannot complete the procedures for delivery by book-entry transfer on a timely basis, then such shareholder's Shares may nevertheless be tendered, provided that all of the following conditions are satisfied:
(i) the tender is made by or through an Eligible Institution; and
(ii) a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery in the form provided by the Fund is received by the Depositary prior to 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time on the Expiration Date; and
(iii) the certificates for all such tendered Shares, in proper form for transfer, or a Book-Entry Confirmation with respect to such Shares, as the case may be, together with a Letter of Transmittal properly completed and bearing original signature(s) and the original of any required signature guarantee(s) (or, in the case of a book-entry transfer, an Agent's Message) and any documents required by the Letter of Transmittal, are received by the Depositary prior to 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time on the third NYSE trading day after the date of execution of the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery. The Notice of Guaranteed Delivery may be delivered by hand or transmitted by facsimile transmission or mail to the Depositary and must include a guarantee by an Eligible Institution and a representation that the shareholder owns the Shares tendered within the meaning of, and that the tender of the Shares effected thereby complies with, Rule 14e-4 under the Exchange Act, each in the form set forth in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery. THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF ANY DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING SHARE CERTIFICATES, THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND ANY OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS, IS AT THE OPTION AND SOLE RISK OF THE TENDERING SHAREHOLDER. IF DOCUMENTS ARE SENT BY MAIL, REGISTERED MAIL WITH RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, PROPERLY INSURED, IS RECOMMENDED. Shareholders have the responsibility to cause their Shares tendered (in proper certificated or uncertificated form), the Letter of Transmittal properly completed and bearing original signature(s) and the original of any required signature guarantee(s) and any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal, to be timely delivered. Timely delivery is a condition precedent to acceptance of Shares for purchase pursuant to the Offer and to payment of the purchase amount. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, payment for Shares accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer will in all cases be made only after timely receipt by the Depositary of Share certificates evidencing such Shares or a Book-Entry Confirmation of the delivery of such Shares (if available), a Letter of Transmittal properly completed and bearing original signature(s) and the original of any required signature guarantee(s) or, in the case of a book-entry transfer, an Agent's Message and any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal.
Shipment and Delivery Seller grants the Company the right at any time to specify the carrier and/or method of transportation to be employed in conveying any part or all of the Goods covered herein.

Unless otherwise stated in the Order, all Goods will be shipped FCA shipment point. FCA shall be interpreted in accordance with the version of Incoterms valid at the time of the Seller’s acceptance of the Order. The Seller shall be responsible for preparing and filing all export documentation for all shipments. The Company shall not be obligated to accept early deliveries, partial deliveries or excess deliveries. If Goods are incorrectly delivered, the Seller shall be responsible for any additional expense incurred in delivering the Goods to the correct destination. The delivery date set forth on the Order is of the essence of the Contract. If the Seller anticipates that it will not be able to deliver the Goods upon the agreed delivery date, then the Seller shall immediately notify the Company thereof in writing; provided, however, that such notice shall not relieve the Seller of its responsibilities and liabilities with respect to on-time delivery hereunder. In such event, the Company may request that the Seller expedite delivery to the maximum extent possible at the Seller’s sole expense. If the Seller does not deliver the Goods by the agreed delivery date, then the Company shall be entitled to liquidated damages as agreed between the parties, up to and including the total Order value. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company reserves the right to claim repayment for any and all costs, losses, expenses and damages incurred by the Company that are attributable to the Seller’s delay in delivery. Such liquidated damages shall be paid at the Company’s written demand. Partial deliveries shall not relieve the Seller from liability for any late delivery hereunder. If the Seller discovers that it has shipped any non-conforming Goods to the Company, it shall immediately (and not more than 24 hours after such discovery) notify the Company thereof in writing; provided, however, that such notice shall not relieve the Seller of its responsibilities and liabilities with respect to defective goods hereunder.

Upon exercise of the option as provided herein, the Company shall become obligated to sell to the Underwriters, and, subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Underwriters shall become obligated to purchase from the Company, the Option Shares as to which the Underwriters are then exercising their option. If the option is exercised as to all or any portion of the Option Shares, certificates in definitive form for such Option Shares, and payment therefor, shall be delivered on the related Option Closing Date in the manner, and upon the terms and conditions, set forth in paragraph (b) of this Section 2, except that reference therein to the Firm Securities and the Firm Closing Date shall be deemed, for purposes of this paragraph (c), to refer to such Option Shares and Option Closing Date, respectively.
