The Parties recognise that, in such event, such steps may include (but are not limited to) the further pursuit by RPM and/or Plateau of all and any legal rights or remedies available to it and/or them relating to the application referred to in clause 4.1 (including an application in terms of s103(4)(b) of the MPRDA and/or the institution of review proceedings), it being further agreed that, in such case, the Parties shall co-operate fully with and assist each other to prosecute to their final end and determination all such administrative, legal, appeal and/or review proceedings as may, in the written opinion of senior legal counsel appointed by the Parties, be available to them in order to achieve their common objective of indirectly vesting in the ultimate shareholders of Boikgantsho, all right, title and interest in and to an undivided 100% share of the Prospecting Rights.
