WHEREAS

A.	The Lenders have provided a secured US$160,000,000 (one hundred and sixty million dollars) loan facility to GBGL (the Original Term Loan Facility), as well as a secured US$35,000,000 (thirty five million dollars) loan facility to GBGL (the Original DIP Loan Facility).

GBGL and Southgold entered into an intragroup loan agreement dated 24 May 2010 (as amended and restated pursuant to an amendment and restatement agreement dated 3 October 2012 and most recently amended pursuant to a confirmation and amendment agreement dated on or about 22 February 2013) (the Intra-Group Loan Agreement).

Pursuant to the provisions of a Security Assignment of Receivables Agreement dated 24 May ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ceded to CS (as Security Agent) all its present and future rights, title and interest in and to all receivables owing to GBGL by Southgold (which includes GBGL’s rights in terms of the Intra-Group Loan Agreement) as security for its obligations under the Original Term Loan Facility.

The Group, the Lenders, the Security SPV and the Former Parties entered into a subordination agreement dated 3 October 2012, as amended pursuant to a confirmation and amendment agreement dated on or about 22 February 2013, and as most recently amended by the Group, the Lenders and the Security SPV amended pursuant to a deed of amendment (the Deed of Amendment) dated on or about 4 August 2013), in terms of which it was agreed that the Original DIP Loan Facility shall be contractually secured in priority to the Original Term Loan Facility (the Original Subordination Agreement).

The Lenders provided a further US$16,000,000 (sixteen million dollars) to GBGL thereby increasing the total amount of the Original DIP Loan Facility to US$51,000,000 (fifty one million dollars) (the DIP Facility Increase). In connection with the DIP Facility Increase, it was agreed that GBGL would on-lend a further amount to Southgold up to US$16,000,000 (sixteen million dollars) via the Intra-Group Loan Agreement as most recently amended pursuant to the Deed of Amendment.

- 2 -

The Guarantors (as that term is defined therein) and the Lenders entered into a guarantee agreement on or about 3 October 2012, as amended pursuant to an amendment agreement dated on or about 22 February 2013, and most recently amended pursuant to an amendment agreement dated 4 August 2013, pursuant to which, inter alia, the Guarantors guaranteed the obligations of GBGL under the Original DIP Loan Facility, the DIP Facility Increase, and in the case of the Guarantors, other than the Former Parties, the Receivership Funding, to the Lenders, all on the terms and subject to the conditions contained therein (the DIP Guarantee).

GBGL has been placed under receivership and FTI Consulting Canada Inc. has been appointed as receiver and manager of GBGL (the Receiver) (solely in such capacity and not in its corporate or personal capacity) pursuant to the order of the Supreme Court of British Columbia made on 28 June 2013 (as it may be amended from time to time, the Receivership Order).

The Lenders have agreed to advance a further amount up to US$8,000,000 (eight million dollars) to the Receiver in a separate funding arrangement (the Receivership Funding). Additionally, the Lenders have consented to the use of funds held by GBG and in the control of the Receiver up to a maximum amount of US$2,000,000 (two million dollars) to be on-lent by the Receiver to the Borrower for purposes of funding the management and administration expenses of the Borrower, subject to an approved budget (the Administration Expenses). In connection with the Receivership Funding and the Administration Expenses, it has been agreed that the Receiver will on-lend to the Borrower all monies drawn down by it in terms of the Receivership Funding and the Administration Expenses as authorised pursuant to paragraph 4(t) of the Receivership Order.

On 11 July 2013 the Business Rescue Plan (premised on the Wits Gold Offer) was approved inasmuch that the Business Rescue Plan was supported by the holders of 95.99% (ninety five comma nine nine percent) of the voting interests that were voted. The offer by Wits Gold is subject to a number of conditions precedent including the restructuring of the debt obligations of Southgold pursuant to which, inter alia, certain existing finance documents and security agreements will be cancelled and new agreements entered into.

Pursuant to the provisions of the Deed of Assignment of Loan Agreement, GBGL will assign to the Lenders loans under the Intra-Group Loan Agreement in an amount of US$178,100,00.00(as adjusted should the Facility A1 Commitment not have been drawn in full at the Effective date) (the Total Loan) and related rights under the Intra-Group Loan Agreement and the balance of loans under the Intra-Group Loan Agreement and related rights thereunder to Wits Gold.

K.	Pursuant to the provisions of the Deed of Assignment of Loan Agreement to Wits Gold, GBGL will assign to Wits Gold, after having executed the Deed of Assignment of Loan Agreement, the balance of its rights remaining under the Intra-Group Loan and under the Acknowledgement of Debt.

Sibanye has made an offer to the Wits Gold board of directors to acquire, by way of a scheme of arrangement, the entire issued share capital of Wits Gold for cash (Proposed Transaction) on the terms and conditions set out in the implementation agreement entered into between Sibanye and Wits Gold on or about 10 December 2014. Provided that the conditions precedent to the

- 3 -

Proposed Transaction are met and the Proposed Transaction implemented, the Proposed Transaction will result in Sibanye becoming the registered and beneficial owner of 100% of the issued shares in Wits Gold. It is envisaged that the Proposed Transaction will be implemented on or before the Transaction Implementation Date.

M.	Accordingly, the Parties have agreed to enter into this Agreement on the terms set out herein, whereby, inter alia, on the Effective Date the Total Loan will be restructured into term loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

10.2.2.

The Facility Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of the occurrence, or if applicable the cessation, of a Market Disruption Event.

10.2.3.

In this Agreement, Market Disruption Event means:

- 42 -

Document, that Party shall pay to the Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying the consideration) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Finance Party shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such Party).

If VAT is chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party (the Supplier) to any other Finance Party (the Recipient) under a Finance Document, and any Party (the Relevant Party) is required by the terms of any Finance Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse the Recipient in respect of that consideration), such Party shall also pay to the Supplier (in addition to and at the same time as paying such amount) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT. The Recipient will promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority which it reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply. So far as the Facility Agent is aware (without representing so to the Borrower) the Original Lenders are not as at the Effective Date required to charge VAT on any supply made or to be made under the Finance Documents.

12.1.2.

Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse a Finance Party for any costs or expenses, that Party shall also at the same time pay and indemnify the Finance Party against all VAT incurred by the Finance Party in respect of the costs or expenses to the extent that the Finance Party reasonably determines that neither it nor any other member of the group of which it is a member for VAT purposes is entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of the VAT.

To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnified Party, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Loans or the use of the proceeds thereof.

13.2.3.

Schedule 4

Disclosure

Southgold has received notification from Gold Fields Limited (“Gold Fields”) that it intends to seek rescission of a 2007 agreement under which Gold Fields cancelled a 2% net smelter royalty over a majority of “Area 1” of the Burnstone Mine. Under that transaction, which was part of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ transaction, Gold Fields cancelled the royalty for consideration of $11 million (ZAR 80 million), that was paid by Great Basin in 2007. On the condition that Gold Fields should receive certain Mining Charter score card credits from the South African government, Gold Fields donated the proceeds to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ which ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ used to part fund the acquisition of the Great Basin shares.

As Gold Fields has not received these credits, Southgold and Gold Fields have been discussing a mutually acceptable settlement that will not impact on the transformation agenda of the South African Government.

On March 12, 2012, Gold Fields gave notice of arbitration to Southgold in respect of this matter. The arbitration was confirmed to take place over the week 11 – 15 February 2013, but Gold Fields requested a postponement. The parties have since engaged in settlement negotiations but no settlement has yet been reached. Failing the conclusion of a settlement a new arbitration date would be agreed between the parties depending on the availability of the arbitrator.
