AA = (X – Y) – (V – Z)

where –


6.1.1	AA means the Adjustment Amount to be calculated, converted to US$ using the Exchange Rate;


6.1.2	X means, as at the South African close of business on the Closing Date, the ZAR sum of all Cash;

6.1.5	Z means, as at the South African close of business on the Closing Date, the value of the Working Capital in ZAR, it being recorded that if, when Z is subtracted from V the result is a negative number, such amount shall be added to the result of the subtraction of Y from X.


6.2	An illustrative calculation of the Adjustment Amount is set out in Annexure S for reference purposes.


6.3	In order to determine the Adjustment Amount following the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall ‑

Sale Agreement (Execution Version)/#4200957v1


6.3.1	prepare its own accounting statement setting out the calculations of the Adjustment Amount in accordance with the Accounting Principles (such document being the "Adjustment Document") and in the form set out in Annexure S;


6.3.2	deliver a true copy of the Adjustment Document, together with such working papers used in connection with the preparation of the Adjustment Document as are necessary to understand the Adjustment Document, to the Sellers by not later than 60 days after the Closing Date.


6.4	In order to enable the Purchaser to give effect to its obligations in 6.3, Target Group Holdco shall, simultaneously with providing the Estimated Adjustment Amount, provide the Purchaser with all working papers used in connection with and in determining the Estimated Adjustment Amount as are necessary to understand the calculation of the Estimated Adjustment Amount.


6.5	If a Seller wishes to dispute any aspect of the Adjustment Document, that Seller may give written notice (which shall set out the aspects of the Adjustment Document which that Seller disputes and the reasons therefor) ("Dispute Notice") to that effect to the Purchaser within fifteen Business Days after the delivery of the Adjustment Document to the Sellers.

6.6

If a Seller gives the Purchaser a Dispute Notice in terms of 6.5, suitable representatives of such Parties shall engage in good faith negotiations to reach agreement on the aspects of the Adjustment Document which the relevant Seller disputes. If the representatives of those Parties cannot reach such agreement within ten Business Days of the issuing of the Dispute Notice by a Seller, the dispute shall be determined by an independent practising chartered accountant (South Africa) of Deloitte & Touche, agreed upon by the Parties and failing agreement, then appointed by the senior partner for the time being of Deloitte & Touche South Africa ("Expert") on the basis that ‑


6.6.1	the Expert shall, as soon as possible, determine whether the Adjustment Document is in compliance with this clause 6 and, if not, shall amend the Adjustment Document to the extent necessary, and so far as possible, only with regard to the aspects of the Adjustment Document which are in dispute, to make it so comply;

Sale Agreement (Execution Version)/#4200957v1


6.6.2	the Expert shall act as an expert and not as arbitrator, but may call for written submissions from either of the relevant Parties and shall consider any written submissions which either such Party may wish to submit;


6.6.3	the Expert shall be entitled to determine such methods and processes as he in his sole discretion deems appropriate in the circumstances, provided that the Expert may not adopt any process which is manifestly biased, unfair or unreasonable;


6.6.4	the determination of the Expert shall, in the absence of manifest error, be final and binding on the Parties;


6.6.5	the Expert shall give written reasons for his decision; and


6.6.6	the Expert shall make a determination as to which Party shall bear the Expert's costs and charges based on which Party was closest to the Expert's determination with regard to the amount by which the Initial Purchase Price is required to be adjusted, provided that ‑


6.6.6.1	in the absence of such a determination, such costs and charges shall be borne in equal shares by the Parties;


6.6.6.2	if any of the Expert's costs or charges have to be paid before the Expert has made his determination in respect thereof, the relevant Parties shall pay such charges and costs in equal shares, pending any determination as to liability therefor by the Expert.


6.7	If the Adjustment Document and working papers have been delivered in terms of 6.3.2 and a Seller ‑


6.7.1	confirms in writing that it is satisfied with the Adjustment Document prior to the expiry of the fifteen Business Day period referred to in 6.5, then the Adjustment Document shall be deemed to have been finalised on the date of receipt by the Purchaser of such confirmation; or

Sale Agreement (Execution Version)/#4200957v1


6.7.2	fails to give the Purchaser the Dispute Notice timeously in terms of 6.5, then the Adjustment Document shall be deemed to be finalised at 00h01 on the day immediately following the expiry of the fifteen Business Day period referred to in 6.5; or


6.7.3	gives the Purchaser a Dispute Notice in terms of 6.5, the Adjustment Document shall be deemed to be finalised on the date on which the Expert delivers to the Parties his determination contemplated in 6.6.


6.8	If the Adjustment Amount reflects that, as a result of the Estimated Adjustment Amount being incorrect, ‑

6.8.1

the Initial Purchase Price was more than US$*** (*** United States Dollars) less than it should have been, the Purchaser shall, within five Business Days after the date on which the Adjustment Document is deemed, in terms of 6.7, to have been finalised ("Finalisation Date"), pay the Sellers an amount equal to the shortfall in the Initial Purchase Price, in US$ by electronic funds transfer into the bank account referred to in 5.2;


6.8.2	the Initial Purchase Price was more than US$* (* United States Dollars) greater than it should have been, Target Group Holdco shall, within five Business Days after the Finalisation Date, pay the Purchaser an amount equal to the excess in the Initial Purchase Price, in US$ by electronic funds transfer into such bank account as may be specified in writing by the Purchaser.

On the Closing Date –


7.1	the Purchaser shall effect payment of the Initial Purchase Price in accordance with 5.2; and

13	TAX INDEMNITY

13.1

Subject at all times to the provisions and limitations of clause 15, but not the minimum and maximum claim amounts contemplated in clauses 15.1.1.1, 15.1.1.2 and 15.1.1.3, Target Group Holdco hereby indemnifies the Purchaser and each Target Group Company against (A) any Losses actually suffered by the Purchaser or any Target Group Company as a result of FirstRand Bank Ltd lawfully exercising its security rights (as referred to, and contemplated, in 6.1 of the Disclosure Schedule) as a result of any post preference shares redemption Tax liabilities imposed on FirstRand Bank Ltd by the Tax Authority, and (B) in each case where such company actually becomes liable for the Taxes set out below, against any Liability actually imposed on a Target Group Company or the Purchaser to pay any Taxes (excluding all Taxes (i) that were taken into account in the calculation of the Adjustment Amount, or (ii) which arose as a consequence of the Restructuring) insofar as that Liability to pay that Tax/es arose in respect of any Target Group Company during (a) that Target Group Company’s last 5 (five) completed tax

Sale Agreement (Execution Version)/#4200957v1

years immediately before the Closing Date and/or (b) the period starting on the first day after its most recent completed tax year and ending on the Closing Date ("Indemnity Claim"). It is specifically agreed that the limitations provided for in clause 15.3 will in no way derogate from the rights of the Purchaser and each Target Group Company to be indemnified against interest, penalties or other amounts payable in connection with any Tax nor shall any information in the knowledge of the Purchaser as a result of it being publicly available, disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule or contained in the Data Room limit the Purchaser's rights in terms of this clause 13.1.

13.2

As soon as reasonably possible after the Purchaser or a Target Group Company has become aware that an Indemnity Claim has been made, threatened or become pending against the Purchaser or a Target Group Company, the Purchaser shall notify the Sellers of that Indemnity Claim in writing. Equally, once an Indemnity Claim has actually come about in that the Purchaser or a Target Group Company has actually become liable to pay the relevant Taxes concerned, the Purchaser shall as soon as reasonably possible notify the Sellers accordingly in writing and a Seller shall then be obliged to make payment of the amount of that Indemnity Claim to the relevant Tax Authority on the date on which the relevant Target Group Company, or the Purchaser, is required to make payment of such Taxes.

13.3

Should a Seller make a payment of an Indemnity Claim to the relevant Tax Authority in relation to any claim for Taxes (or should a Seller pay any Indemnity Claim to the Purchaser or a Target Group Company, as applicable, and it in turn pays the correlating Taxes to the relevant Tax Authority) and should the relevant Tax Authority refund the Purchaser or any of the Target Group Companies part or all of such amount, then the Purchaser, or the Target Group Company/ies in question, shall pay as soon as practicable to the Sellers an amount equal to the amount received from the relevant Tax Authority.

13.4

In relation to any Indemnity Claim, or potential, threatened or pending Indemnity Claim, a Seller may, in the name of the Target Group Company concerned or the Purchaser, as appropriate, defend any claim, demand, or assessment made against or claimed or demanded from such Target Group Company or the Purchaser by the relevant Tax Authority/ies should a Seller contend that such amount is not owing or that such claim, demand or assessment is not valid, correct, enforceable or otherwise binding on that Target Group Company or the Purchaser. For as long as a Seller is conducting any such

Sale Agreement (Execution Version)/#4200957v1

defence in respect of the subject matter of an Indemnified Claim neither the Purchaser nor any Target Group Company may consent to the entry of any judgment against the Purchaser or a Target Group Company in respect of the subject matter of that Indemnified Claim nor enter into a settlement agreement in respect of the subject matter of that Indemnified Claim, in each case unless it has obtained a Seller's prior written consent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

13.5

The Parties shall co-operate with each other fully in order to implement the provisions of clause 13.4 and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Purchaser shall procure that either itself, or whichever of the Target Group Companies is involved in the disputed claim, furnish the relevant Seller with all necessary powers of attorney, resolutions, information, documentation and all other reasonable assistance (such as, for example, access to its relevant employees or advisers) in order to give effect to the foregoing.

13.6

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained or implied, Target Group Holdco hereby indemnifies the Purchaser or the Target Group Company concerned, as the case may be, on demand against any liability for legal or other costs or expenses which is actually incurred by it as a result of a Seller conducting any proceedings or contesting any claims, demands or similar proceedings in its name under clause 13.4.


13.7	The Purchaser shall procure that each Target Group Company complies with this clause 13 insofar as it relates to that Target Group Company.


13.8	The provisions of this clause 13 constitute a stipulatio ▇▇▇▇▇▇ for the benefit of each of the Target Group Companies and is capable of acceptance by any of them at any time by way of it giving written notice to that effect to the Sellers.


13.9	The provisions of 14.3, 14.4, 14.6, 14.7, 14.8, and 14.10 shall mutatis mutandis apply herein.


13.10	The Purchaser agrees that neither it nor any Target Group Company may be compensated for more than its loss as a result of both warranties and indemnities having been provided by the Sellers in terms of this Agreement.

Sale Agreement (Execution Version)/#4200957v1


14	THIRD PARTY CLAIMS

The Purchaser shall not, and shall procure that no Target Group Company shall, admit and/or discharge any liability in respect of any claim that may give rise to any Losses which the Purchaser may suffer or incur as a result of or in connection with any breach of any Warranty or any other provision of this Agreement (each a "Claim"), without first complying with the remaining provisions of this 14 . In this regard, -


14.1	the Purchaser shall notify the Sellers in writing of any such Claim as soon as is reasonably possible after the Purchaser becomes aware thereof, but in any event within five Business Days after the Purchaser becomes aware thereof, to enable a Seller to contest that Claim; and

14.2

a Seller shall, at its own expense and with the assistance of its own legal advisers, be entitled, subject to the provisions of 14.3 to 14.8, both inclusive, acting reasonably and in good faith, to contest any such Claim in the name of the Target Group Company concerned or the Purchaser, as the case may be, until such Claim is finally determined by the highest court to which appeal may be made (or which may review any decision or judgment made or given in relation thereto) or to settle any such Claim, and the relevant Seller will be entitled, acting in good faith and having regard to the legitimate interests of the Purchaser and the Target Group, to control the proceedings in regard thereto, provided that the Purchaser shall, and shall procure that the Target Group Company concerned shall (at the expense of the relevant Seller and, if the Purchaser so requires, with the involvement of the Purchaser's and/or the Target Group Company's own legal advisers) render to the relevant Seller such assistance (including performing all such acts, taking all such steps and signing all such documents) as that Seller may reasonably require of the Purchaser and/or the Target Group Company concerned in order to contest that Claim.


14.3	If a Seller elects to take any of the actions contemplated in 14.2, it shall within twenty Business Days of the date on which it is notified of such Claim pursuant to the provisions of 14.2 (or sooner, if the nature of the Claim so requires) notify the Purchaser in writing of its intention to do so.

Sale Agreement (Execution Version)/#4200957v1


14.4	If a Seller elects not to take any of the actions contemplated in 14.2 (or fails to notify the Purchaser otherwise prior to the end of the twenty Business Day period referred to in 14.3 or sooner if the nature of the Claim so requires), the Purchaser may settle, compromise, defend against, negotiate, dispute, contest, appeal against or otherwise deal with such Claim.


14.5	Target Group Holdco shall indemnify the Purchaser and/or the relevant Target Group Company/s against all costs, charges, liabilities and expenses which may be incurred or suffered by the Purchaser for the purposes of or in connection with anything done by a Seller in its name in accordance with the provisions of this 14.


14.6	The relevant Seller shall use its reasonable endeavours to ensure that any contest of any Claim is resolved as expeditiously as possible in the circumstances.


14.7	The relevant Seller shall keep the Purchaser informed of the way in which it exercises its rights under this 14 and shall, to the extent possible, at all times exercise those rights in such manner as the Purchaser may reasonably require to avoid or to minimise any damage to its or any Target Group Company's relationship with its manufacturers, suppliers, distributors or customers.


14.8	The relevant Seller shall conduct the defence of any Claim actively and diligently and –


14.8.1	afford the Purchaser a reasonable opportunity to be present at and to participate in all material discussions and meetings which are held by that Seller or by any counsel, legal adviser or third party (acting on behalf of that Seller) in connection with such defence;


14.8.2	without unreasonable delay, and from time to time, provide the Purchaser with the same material information which that Seller has in its possession or under its control, the intention being that the Purchaser should be as well informed, at all times, as that Seller is informed; and


14.8.3	permit the Purchaser to express its views and opinions from time to time in regard to the defence of any such Claim.

Sale Agreement (Execution Version)/#4200957v1

14.9

In the event that, in the good faith judgment of the Purchaser, exercised reasonably, settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Claim is likely to establish a precedent or practice materially adverse to the continuing business interests of the Purchaser and any Target Group Company, then no material decisions regarding the conduct of the contest or settlement of such Claim may be made without the prior consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.


14.10	Notwithstanding the provisions of this 14, Target Group Holdco shall remain responsible under the indemnities given by it to the Purchaser to the fullest extent provided for under any indemnity given in terms of this Agreement.


14.11	The indemnification provisions in this 14 are in addition to, and do not in any way derogate from, any statutory or common law remedy any Party may have for breach of this Agreement, including breach of any Warranty.


15	LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Sellers' liability in terms of or in connection with this Agreement shall (other than in the circumstances contemplated in 6 and 13) be limited as set out in this 15.

15.1.1.3

to the extent that such amount, together with all other amounts payable by a Seller to the Purchaser in terms of or in connection with this Agreement, exceeds an amount equal to US$***; provided that such limitation shall not apply in respect of a claim by the Purchaser in terms of the Warranties set out in clauses 2 (Sale Assets) and 3 (Corporate Affairs) of Annexure C in relation to which the maximum liability of the Sellers shall be equal to the portion of the Purchase Price actually received by the Sellers (and not reimbursed to the Purchaser).
