Portion and the Trust Transaction Costs Portion in trust in an interest
bearing account for the benefit of the Trust until such time as Nedbank
instructs Deneys Xxxxx to pay out such amounts to such persons as

7. BREACH
If any Party commits a breach or fails in the observance of any of the
terms and conditions hereof and fails to remedy such default or breach
within 10 (ten) Business Days of delivery of written notice requiring it so

Agreement against the defaulting Party or to claim immediate payment and/or
performance by the defaulting Party of all of the defaulting Party's
obligations whether or not the due date for payment and/or performance

Party's rights to claim damages. The aforegoing is without prejudice to
such other rights as the non-defaulting Party may have at law; provided
always that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, the non-defaulting Party shall not be entitled to cancel this
Agreement for any breach by the defaulting Party unless such breach is a
