7.2	Subject to clause 7.4, the Call Option may be exercised more than once at any time during the Option Period and in respect of all or only a portion of the Call Option Shares, at the sole and absolute discretion of the Company.

7.3	Each Sale resulting from an exercise of the Call Option in respect of only a portion of the Call Option Shares shall constitute a Sale divisible from another Sale resulting from an exercise of the Call Option in respect of a different portion of the Call Option Shares.

7.4	It is recorded that the Grantor does not wish to hold less than 20% of the issued ordinary shares in the Company at any time. The Company accordingly undertakes to give effect to the aforegoing and agrees not to exercise or permit the exercise of the Call Option and require the Grantor to sell so many Call Option Shares as would reduce the Grantor's total ordinary shareholding to below 20%, unless the Grantor is required to sell the entirety of its Call Option Shares as part of such intended Sale/s. Accordingly, any exercise of the Call Option which would contravene the aforegoing principles shall be invalid and of no force or effect.

7.5	The Call Option is irrevocable for the Option Period and if not exercised, will automatically lapse and be of no further force or effect on expiry of the Option Period. The expiry of the Option Period will not terminate or otherwise affect any Call Option exercised prior to the expiry of the Option Period.

20.1.2	any liability for Tax not fully provided for in the Warranted Accounts in respect of the Designated Period.

20.2	The indemnification provisions in this clause 20 are in addition to, and do not in any way derogate from, any statutory or common law remedy the Purchaser may have for breach of this Agreement including breach of any representation or Warranty.

20.4	Upon a third party threatening or bringing a Claim in respect of which the Grantor has given an indemnity pursuant to this clause 20 –

20.4.1

the Purchaser will notify the Grantor as soon as reasonably possible upon becoming aware of the Claim provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Purchaser in so notifying the Grantor shall relieve the Grantor from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent that) the Grantor is thereby prejudiced; and

20.4.2

the Grantor will elect whether or not to defend the Claim, in accordance with clause 20.5.

The Grantor may elect, by giving written notice, within 14 business days following receipt of the notice provided for in clause 20.4.2 or, if earlier, 7 business days prior to the first date when a response to the Claim is due, to assume control of the defence and settlement of the Claim, in which case –

Accordingly, a Claim by the Purchaser arising out of a breach of any one or more Warranties and/or other relevant provision of this Agreement, shall not entitle the Purchaser to make a Claim against the Grantor in respect of more than one Warranty or other claim arising from or which is attributable to the same cause of action.

21.4.2	which are less than an amount equal to 2% of the Option Price in aggregate, provided that (i) when such aggregate or individual claims or loss exceed the said amount, the Grantor shall, subject to clause 21.4.3 and clause 21.4.4, be liable for the full amount of such claim/s and/or loss and/or liabilities and not only for the amount in excess of the said amount; (ii) regard shall only be had to individual claims and/or losses which exceed an amount equal to 0.2% of the Option Price per individual claim and/or loss in determining whether the aforementioned 2% threshold has been reached; (iii) the aforegoing restrictions shall not apply to any Claims relating to the Capacity and Authority Warranties and the Title Warranties.

21.5	The aggregate damages that the Purchaser suffers as a result of a Claim shall be reduced (at a maximum, to R0) by the aggregate of –

21.5.1

21.5.2	the Proportionate Share of any amount actually recovered by the Group from any third party in respect thereof (including, but not limited to any insurer);

21.5.3	any amount by which the subject matter of the Claims has been or is made good or otherwise compensated for, less any cost thereof to the Grantor and/or the Group,

	and any amount refunded to the Grantor by the Purchaser or any reduction in damages in terms of this clause 21.5 shall be regarded as never having been claimed from the Grantor for purposes of clause 21.4.

21.6	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no liability shall attach to the Grantor in respect of any Claim to the extent that –

21.6.1	the Claim is for any indirect, special or consequential damages (including loss of profit) of whatsoever nature suffered by any Group Company and/or the Grantor;

21.6.2	the Claim or the events giving rise to the Claim would not have arisen but for an act, omission or transaction of any of the Purchaser's Representatives;

21.6.3	the Claim is based upon a liability which is contingent only, unless and until such contingent liability becomes an actual liability or until the same is finally adjudicated;

21.6.4	allowance, provision or reserve in respect of the matter giving rise to the Claim shall have been made in the Warranted Accounts; and/or

21.6.5	the Claim occurs wholly or partly out of or the amount thereof is increased as a result of any change in law, regulation, guideline, codes of conduct, and the like or in their interpretation or administration by the South African courts, or by any other fiscal, monetary or regulatory authority, whether or not having the force of law, after the Closing Date.

21.7	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no liability will arise and no Claim may be made if the matter giving rise to such Claim is remediable, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Purchaser, within the period of 30 days of receipt of written notice by the Purchaser to the Grantor requiring the Grantor to remedy the matter giving rise to such Claim (or if it is not reasonably possible to remedy the matter giving rise to such Claim within 30 days, within such further period as may be reasonable in the circumstances provided that the Grantor furnishes evidence within the period of 30 days, reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser, that it has taken whatever steps are available to it, to commence remedying the matter giving rise to such Claim).

21.8	Unless it is restricted by law from doing so and/or the Grantor is the counterparty of the Purchaser in any such Claim, the Purchaser shall -

21.8.1	within 10 business days inform the Grantor in writing of any fact, matter, event or circumstance which comes to its notice or to the notice of its holding or subsidiary companies whereby it appears that the Grantor is or may be liable to make any payment in respect of any Claim;

21.8.2	thereafter keep the Grantor fully informed of all developments in relation thereto; and

21.8.3	provide access to the Purchaser's Representatives and give all such information and documentation (no matter how it is recorded or stored) as the Grantor shall request in connection therewith, subject to any such disclosure not breaching any duty of confidentiality on the Purchaser under or in terms of any other agreement or arrangement.

21.9	Nothing in this Agreement shall or shall be deemed to relieve the Purchaser of any common law or other duty to mitigate any loss or damage incurred by them.

21.10	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Capacity and Authority Warranties and the Title Warranties shall not be limited or qualified in any respect whatsoever, and no disclosure (regardless of whether a fact or circumstance is Fairly Disclosed) shall be regarded as amending or supplementing the Disclosure Schedule or shall prevent or cure any misrepresentation or breach of the Capacity and Authority Warranties and the Title Warranties, as the case may be.
