6.1.1.2 any development adversely affecting any Material Group Company which is material in the context of the Programme or any issue of Notes thereunder.

Page 26

6.2 Updating of Programme Memorandum

6.2.1 The Issuer shall, at the cost of the Issuer, update or amend the Programme Memorandum (following consultation with the Arranger which Arranger will consult with the Dealers) as required by applicable laws and/or regulation, by the publication of a new Programme Memorandum or a supplement thereto, in a form approved by the Arranger and the Dealers in their reasonable discretion where there has been -

6.2.1.1 an adverse change in the condition of the capital stock, long term debt, business properties, management or operations of the Issuer which is material in the context of the Programme or the issue of any Notes and which is not then reflected in the Programme Memorandum; or

6.2.1.2 if an event occurs and as a result thereof the Programme Memorandum -

6.2.1.2.1 includes a statement of fact which is not true and accurate in all material respects;

6.2.1.2.2 omits any fact, the omission of which would make misleading in any material respect any statement therein contained; or

Page 27

6.2.1.2.3 is required, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Issuer, to be amended or supplemented for any other reason,

provided that no new Programme Memorandum or supplement to the Programme Memorandum, as the case may be, is required in respect of the Issuer’s annual financial statements if such annual financial statements are incorporated by reference into the Programme Memorandum and such annual financial statements are submitted to the JSE within 6 (six) months after the financial year end of the Issuer.

6.2.2 Upon the publication of a revised Programme Memorandum or a supplement to the Programme Memorandum, the Issuer shall, at the cost of the Issuer, promptly supply to the Arranger, each Dealer and the Transfer Agent such number of copies of that revised Programme Memorandum or supplement as the Arranger, each Dealer or the Transfer Agent (as the case may be) may reasonably request.

Upon any new financial statements being incorporated in the Programme Memorandum as aforesaid, the Issuer shall, at the cost of the Issuer, promptly supply to the Arranger, each Dealer and the Transfer Agent one copy of such financial statements and thereafter such other number of copies as the Arranger, each Dealer or the Transfer Agent (as the case may be) may reasonably request that are available to the public as soon as those financial statements are available.

6.2.4 Until the Arranger or a Dealer receives the copies of the revised Programme Memorandum or supplement which may become due in terms of clause 6.2.1 or of the financial statements which may become due in terms of clause 6.2.3, the definition of “Programme Memorandum” in clause 1.2 shall, in relation to the Arranger or such Dealer, mean the Programme Memorandum prior to the receipt by the Arranger or such Dealer of such revised Programme Memorandum or supplement or such financial statements.

6.3.2 The Issuer confirms that it has authorised the Sponsoring Member to make or cause to be made, and the Sponsoring Member shall make or cause to be made, an application on behalf and at the expense of the Issuer for the Programme to be registered on the bond market of the JSE. Upon agreement to issue Notes being reached under clause 3, where such Notes are to be listed, the Issuer will use its reasonable endeavours to obtain and, whilst any such Notes are Outstanding, maintain such listing. If it is unable to do so, having used its reasonable endeavours, or if the maintenance of such listing becomes unduly onerous, the Issuer will instead use its reasonable endeavours to promptly obtain and maintain approval for the Programme and a listing of the Notes on such other Financial Exchange as the Issuer may decide, and the Issuer shall notify the Arranger and Dealers promptly of such proposed alternative listing.

6.3.3 The Issuer shall comply, in all material respects, with the rules of the Relevant Financial Exchange and shall otherwise comply with any undertakings given by it from time to time to the Relevant Financial Exchange in connection with any Notes listed on such Financial Exchange or the listing thereof and, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, shall furnish or procure to be furnished to the Relevant Financial Exchange all such information as such Financial Exchange may require in connection with the listing on such Financial Exchange of any Notes and pay all fees and costs in connection therewith.

The Issuer will notify the Arranger and the Dealers immediately in writing if any of the persons named in the list referred to in clause 4 of the Initial Documentation List ceases to be authorised to take action on behalf of the Issuer or any Guarantor, as the case may be, or if any additional person becomes so authorised together, in the case of an additional authorised person, with evidence satisfactory to the Arranger and the Dealers that such person has been so authorised.

6.6 Auditors’ comfort letters

If at or prior to the time of any agreement to issue and subscribe for, or procure the subscription for, Notes under clause 3 a request is made with respect to the

Page 30

Notes to be issued, the receipt of the relevant comfort letter or letters in a form satisfactory to the Relevant Dealer shall be a further condition precedent to the issue of those Notes in respect of that Dealer.

Except as otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the Relevant Dealer, the Issuer undertakes that it will not, during the period commencing on the Agreement Date and ending on the date which is 7 (seven) days after the Issue Date of the relevant Tranche, without written consent of the Relevant Dealer, issue or agree to issue any Notes that are substantially similar to the Notes of the relevant Tranche.

6.8 Information on Noteholders’ meetings

The Issuer will, at the same time as it is despatched, furnish the Arranger and the Dealers with a copy of any notice of a meeting of the Noteholders which is despatched at the instigation of the Issuer and will notify the Arranger and the Dealers promptly upon its becoming aware that a meeting of the Noteholders has been convened.

7 ISSUER’S INDEMNITY

7.1 The Issuer indemnifies each Dealer and the Arranger, all of their subsidiaries and/or holding companies (as defined in the Companies Act 61 of 1973) and each person who controls that Dealer or Arranger and any of

Page 31

their respective representatives, directors, officers, employees and agents (each an “Indemnified Person”) and agrees to hold such Indemnified Persons indemnified and harmless against any actual losses, liability, damages, cost, loss or expense (excluding any consequential economic loss but including, without limitation legal fees, costs and expenses reasonably incurred) (a “Loss”) which may be directly suffered or made against such Indemnified Person as a result of or in relation to or in connection with (i) any actual breach by the Issuer or alleged breach (other than an allegation made by an indemnified Person) by the Issuer of any of the representations, warranties, undertakings and agreements contained in, or deemed to be made pursuant to, this Agreement including, but without limitation, the failure by the Issuer to issue the Notes (otherwise than by reason of non-payment by the Relevant Dealer(s) or investors procured by the Relevant Dealer(s)), or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged (other than an allegation made by an indemnified Person) untrue statement contained in the Programme Memorandum or Pricing Supplement circulated or distributed with the consent of the Issuer, or (iii) any untrue or alleged (other than an allegation made by an indemnified Person) untrue statement in any other document or information authorised pursuant to clause 8 to be distributed or passed on by such Relevant Dealer(s) (other than in respect of any information provided by or prepared by or on behalf of any Relevant Dealer(s) or Arranger) or (iv) any omission or alleged (other than an allegation made by an indemnified Person) omission to state in the Programme Memorandum a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (v) any breach by the Issuer of the Terms and Conditions.

7.2 Should any of the events in 7.1 occur, and an Indemnified Person thereby suffer a Loss, the Issuer shall pay to that Indemnified Person on demand an amount equal to such Loss and all costs, charges and expenses (including but not limited to legal costs and expenses) reasonably incurred which it or any Indemnified Person may actually pay or incur in connection with investigating, disputing or defending any such action or claim as such costs, charges and expenses are incurred. This undertaking to make payment is additional to any liability which the Issuer may otherwise have.

Page 32

7.3 If any proceedings (including a governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any Indemnified Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to clause 7.1 such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing and the Issuer shall, upon request of such Indemnified Person, appoint lawyers reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person to represent such Indemnified Person and the Issuer shall be liable to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such lawyers related to such proceeding. In any such proceedings, the relevant Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own lawyer, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such lawyer shall be for the account of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Issuer and such Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed in writing to the retention of such lawyer or (ii) such Indemnified Person has defences additional to or different from the Issuer, or (iii) the Issuer fails, within a reasonable time, to appoint lawyers reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person.

7.4 The Issuer shall not be liable for any settlement of any such proceeding purported to be effected by any Indemnified Person without the prior written consent of the Issuer (such consent not being unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgement for the plaintiff, the Issuer agrees to indemnify the relevant Indemnified Person(s) from and against any loss or liability reasonably incurred by reason of such settlement or judgement. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time any Indemnified Person shall have requested the Issuer to reimburse such Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of its own lawyers as contemplated in clause 7.3 and the Indemnified Person is entitled to such fees and expenses in terms of that clause, the Issuer agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any such proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 (thirty) days after receipt by the Issuer of such request and (ii) the Issuer shall not have reimbursed such Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. The Issuer will not, without written consent of the relevant Indemnified Person, effect the settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability in respect of the subject of such proceeding.

Page 33

7.5 No Dealer shall have any duty or obligation, whether as fiduciary or otherwise toward any Indemnified Person or otherwise be obliged to recover any amount under this clause 7 on behalf of or to account to any other person for any such amount.

7.6 The undertakings in this clause 7 shall survive any termination of this Agreement, any termination of any agreement or the obligations of any party hereto.

8 AUTHORITY TO DISTRIBUTE DOCUMENTS

The Issuer hereby authorises the Arranger and the Dealers on its behalf to provide copies of, and make oral statements consistent with, (i) the Programme Memorandum and/or (ii) such additional information provided in writing by the Issuer in relation to the Programme, to the Arranger and the Dealers, to actual and potential subscribers for Notes and to other persons to whom such documents and statements or information need to be furnished or made for the purposes of the Programme.

9 DEALERS’ UNDERTAKINGS AND INDEMNITY

9.1 The Arranger and each Dealer agrees that its obligations under this Agreement are several (and not joint) and it shall not be responsible for the obligations of any other Arranger or Dealer.

9.2 The Arranger and each Dealer agrees to comply with the restrictions and requirements set out in Appendix B hereto insofar as they relate to an issue of Notes to such Dealer or any person procured by that Dealer or any offer for subscription for or sale of those Notes made by such Dealer. For the avoidance of doubt, no Dealer will be liable for the failure of any other Dealer or any other person, to comply with the restrictions and requirements set out in Appendix B.

9.3 The Arranger and each Dealer severally indemnifies the Issuer its subsidiaries and respective directors, officers, employees and controlling

Page 34

persons and agents against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which it may become subject, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon the failure of such Dealer to observe or comply with any of the selling restrictions or requirements set out in Appendix B (insofar as they so relate to the Dealer) provided that no Dealer shall be liable for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising from the sale of Notes to any person believed in good faith by such Dealer, on reasonable grounds after making all reasonable investigations, to be a person to whom the Notes could legally be sold in compliance with the provisions of Appendix B, provided that the legal liability assumed in terms of this indemnity shall not extend to indirect or consequential damages and shall not extend beyond the relevant indemnifier’s liability that would nevertheless attach to each Arranger or Dealer by law or by custom in the absence of such indemnity. For the sake of clarity, and save as otherwise stated to the contrary, the liability of each Dealer under this clause 9.3 shall be independent from that of any other Dealer and shall be neither joint nor several as between Dealers.

9.4 The provisions of clauses 7.1, 7.3 and 7.4 as to the conduct and expense of conducting any defence against any action, proceeding, claim or demand in respect of which indemnity in clause 9.3 may be sought shall apply mutatis mutandis to clause 9.3.

10 FEES, EXPENSES AND STAMP DUTIES

Except as otherwise agreed, the Issuer undertakes that it will:

10.1 pay to each Dealer on demand the commissions (if any) agreed in connection with and at the time of each sale of Notes to that Dealer or to a person procured by that Dealer (and any VAT or other tax thereon, if applicable); and

10.2.4 the agreed fees of, or expenses incurred by, the Transfer Agent, the Paying Agent and the Calculation Agent pursuant to the Agency Agreement;

10.2.5 all reasonable expenses in connection with the issue, marketing, authentication, packaging and initial delivery of Notes, this Agreement, the Agency Agreement, any Subscription Agreement and the preparation and printing of Certificates, the Programme Memorandum and any amendments or supplements thereto (including the cost of updating any legal opinions issued pursuant to clause 4.4 and of any auditors’ comfort letters issued pursuant to clause 6.6), provided that proof thereof is furnished to the Issuer;

10.2.6 the cost of any publicity agreed to by the Issuer in connection with the Programme and any issue of Notes;

10.3 pay the agreed fees and disbursements of legal advisers appointed to represent the Arranger and the Dealers (including any VAT or other tax thereon, if applicable) in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Programme Memorandum, the Agency Agreement and any documents referred to in any of them and any other documents required in connection with the implementation or maintenance of the Programme and the issue of Notes; and

10.4 pay promptly, and in any event before any penalty becomes payable, any stamp, documentary, registration or similar duty or tax imposed within the Republic of South Africa and payable in connection with the entry into, performance, enforcement or admissibility in evidence of this Agreement, any communication pursuant hereto, the Agency Agreement, Programme

The Arranger or each Dealer may terminate its participation described in this Agreement by giving not less than 30 (thirty) days’ written notice to the other parties hereto. The Issuer may terminate the appointment of the Arranger, a Dealer or Dealers by giving not less than 30 (thirty) days’ written notice to the Arranger, such Dealer or Dealers (with a copy promptly thereafter to the remainder of the parties to this Agreement) at any time after the earlier of the first Issue Date and 15 February 2009. Termination shall not affect any rights or obligations (including but not limited to those arising under clauses 7, 9 and/or 10) which have accrued at the time of termination or which accrue thereafter in relation to any act or omission or alleged act or omission which occurred prior to such time.

12 APPOINTMENT OF NEW DEALERS

12.1 Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Issuer from appointing one or more New Dealers for the duration of the Programme or, with regard to an issue of a particular Tranche of Notes, for the purposes of that Tranche, in either case upon the terms of this Agreement and provided that, unless such appointment is effected pursuant to a Subscription Agreement -

12.1.1 any New Dealer shall have first delivered to the Issuer an appropriate Dealer Accession Letter substantially in the form set out in Part I of Appendix C hereto (in respect of a New Dealer for the remainder of the Programme) and Part III of Appendix C hereto (in respect of a New Dealer with regard to an issue of a particular Tranche of Notes); and

12.1.2 the Issuer shall have delivered to such New Dealer an appropriate Letter of Appointment substantially in the form set out in Part II or Part IV of Appendix C hereto,

12.2 The Issuer shall promptly notify the Arranger, the Transfer Agent and the other Dealers of any appointment of a New Dealer for the duration of the Programme by supplying to such parties a copy of any Dealer Accession Letter and Letter of Appointment. Such notice shall be required to be given to the Transfer Agent by the Issuer only in the case of an appointment of a New Dealer for a particular Tranche.

13 INCREASE IN THE AGGREGATE NOMINAL AMOUNT OF THE PROGRAMME

13.1 From time to time the Issuer may wish to increase the aggregate nominal amount of the Notes that may be issued under the Programme. In such circumstances, the Issuer shall obtain the prior written approval of all the Guarantors for such increase and shall give notification of such an increase (subject to clause 13.2) by delivering to the Sponsoring Member, the Transfer Agent, the Arranger and the Dealers a letter substantially in the form set out in Appendix D hereto. Upon such notice being given, all references in this Agreement, the Agency Agreement, the Programme Memorandum or any other agreement, deed or document in relation to the Programme, to the aggregate nominal amount of the Notes that may be issued under the Programme, shall be and shall be deemed to be references to the increased nominal amount.

13.2 Notwithstanding clause 13.1, the right of the Issuer, having obtained the prior written consent of the Guarantors, to increase the aggregate nominal amount of the Programme shall be subject to the Arranger and the Dealers having received and found satisfactory (in their reasonable opinion) all the documents and confirmations described in the Initial Documentation List

The Arranger shall circulate to the Dealers all the documents and confirmations described in the Initial Documentation List (save for item 7 on the Initial Document List which shall be provided directly to the Dealers by the Issuer) and any further conditions precedent so required in terms hereof. Any Dealer must notify the Arranger and the Arranger must notify the Issuer within 10 (ten) Business Days (or any shorter period as may be agreed) of receipt of the documents and confirmations described in the Initial Documentation List if it considers, in its reasonable opinion, any of such documents and confirmations to be unsatisfactory and must furnish the reasons therefore in its notice.

19.2 Save to the extent agreed otherwise in writing, at the time such stabilisation is to take place -

19.2.1 the Issuer shall not be obliged to issue more than the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Tranche of Notes;

19.2.2 there may be no obligation on the Stabilisation Manager to so stabilise.

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇

The Issuer, each Guarantor and each Dealer have represented, warranted and agreed that they will not solicit any offers for subscription for the Notes in contravention of any applicable law and/or any regulation of the Republic of South Africa.

UNITED STATES

The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and the Notes may not be offered or sold within the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Each Dealer represents that it has not offered or sold, and agrees that it will not offer or sell, any Notes constituting part of its allotment in the United States except in accordance with Rule 903 of Regulation S under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”). Accordingly, neither the Issuer, each Dealer, their affiliates nor any persons acting on its or their behalf have engaged or will engage in any directed selling efforts with respect to the Notes. Terms used in this paragraph have the meaning given to them by Regulation S.

UNITED KINGDOM

In relation to the Notes, each Dealer subscribing for or purchasing such Notes has represented, warranted and agreed that:

a) Notes with maturities of less than one year: in relation to any Notes which have a maturity of less than one year, (a) it is a person whose ordinary activities involve it in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of its business and (b) it has not offered or sold and will not offer or sell any Notes other than to persons whose ordinary activities involve them in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their businesses or who

Page 48

it is reasonable to expect will acquire, hold, manage or dispose of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their businesses where the issue of the Notes would otherwise constitute a contravention of section 19 of the Financial Services and Markets ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ (the “FSMA”) by the Issuer;

b) Financial promotion: it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated any invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of section 21 of the FSMA) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of any Notes in circumstances in which section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to the Issuer; and

c) General compliance: it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by it in relation to any Notes in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom.

EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA

In relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a “Relevant Member State”), each Dealer has represented, warranted and agreed, and each further Dealer appointed under the Programme will be required to represent, warrant and agree, that with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that Member State (the “Relevant Implementation Date”) it has not made and will not make an offer of Notes which are the subject of the offering contemplated by this Programme Memorandum as completed by the Applicable Pricing Supplement in relation thereto to the public in that Relevant Member State, except that it may, with effect from and including that Relevant Implementation Date, make an offer of Notes to the public in that Relevant Member State:

(a) at any time to legal entities which are authorised or regulated to operate in the financial markets or, if not so authorised or regulated, whose corporate purpose is solely to invest in securities;

(b) at any time to any legal entity which has two or more of (i) an average of at least 250 employees during the last financial year; (ii) a total balance sheet of more than EUR43,000,000; and (iii) an annual turnover of more than EUR50,000,000, all as shown in its last annual or consolidated accounts;

Page 49

(c) at any time to fewer than 100 natural or legal persons (other than qualified investors as defined in the Prospectus Directive) subject to obtaining the prior consent of the Relevant Dealer or Dealers nominated by the relevant Issuer for any such offer; or

(d) at any time in any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive,

provided that no such offer of Notes referred to in (a) to (d) above shall require the Issuer or any Dealer to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive or supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 16 of the Prospectus Directive.

For the purposes of this provision, the expression “offer of Notes to the public” in relation to any Notes in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the Notes to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the Notes, as the same may be varied in that Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Member State and the expression “Prospectus Directive” means Directive 2003/71/EC and includes any relevant implementing measure in each Relevant Member State.

GENERAL

Each Dealer has agreed and each further Dealer appointed under the Programme will be required to agree that it will not, directly or indirectly, purchase, offer, sell or deliver any Notes or distribute or publish any offering circular, information memorandum, prospectus, form of application, advertisement or other document or information in any country or jurisdiction except under circumstances that will, to the best of its knowledge and belief, result in compliance with any applicable laws and regulations and all purchases, offers, sales and deliveries of Notes by it will be made on the same terms.

Without prejudice to the generality of the above paragraph, each Dealer has agreed and each further Dealer appointed under the Programme will be required to agree that it will obtain any consent, approval or permission which is, to the best of its

Page 50

knowledge and belief, required for the offer, purchase, sale or delivery by it of Notes under the laws and regulations in force in any jurisdiction to which it is subject or in which it makes such offers, purchases, sales or deliveries and it will, to the best of its knowledge and belief, comply with all such laws and regulations.

With regard to each Tranche, the Relevant Dealer(s) will be required to comply with such other additional restrictions as shall be set out in the Applicable Pricing Supplement.
