| 14.2 | If Exxaro determines that it is no longer commercially viable to provide the Project Services (whether absolutely or in the manner in which the Project Services are to be performed) in accordance with the terms hereof, the Parties shall meet as soon as may be practicable after Exxaro has made such a decision, and in good faith cooperate so as to determine the best alternative approach to procure the provision of the Services.

13
| such Project Services as required hereunder, then, in each case, Exxaro shall have no liability whatsoever with respect to the effectiveness or quality of such Project Services and, following 5 (five) Business Days prior written notice to the Service Recipient, Exxaro shall be excused from the performance of such Project Services; |
| (b) | if the Service recipient is unable, despite Exxaro’s reasonable assistance and cooperation , to secure the agreement of third parties with whom Exxaro has outsourced certain Project Services to provide such Project Services to the Service Recipient, Exxaro shall have no liability whatsoever with respect to the effectiveness or quality of any Service that is prevented, hindered, or delayed thereby and, following 5 (five) Business Days prior written notice to Service Recipient, Exxaro shall be excused from the performance of such Project Services; |
| 15. | FORCE MAJEURE |

If, and for whatever reason, such person exits the employment of Exxaro, the Service Recipient shall pay the reasonable and direct costs incurred by Exxaro arising out of such person’s exit. Nothing in the clause shall relieve Exxaro of its obligations to any employee or contractor incurred in terms of South African labour laws.
