same shall be made by Independent Expert appointed by the Parties and
the Lenders or, in the absence of agreement within fifteen (15) Business
Days, by the President of the South African Institute of Chartered
Accountants.

pursuant to this clause 12 (Compensation on Termination for
Government Default), the Seller shall be entitled to issue a written
demand to the DoE for payment of such amount.

Agreement. The Seller will not alter the methodology employed in such
Financial Model from that employed in the version of the Financial Model
attached as Schedule 5 (Financial Model), without the prior written
consent of the DoE, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. In preparing any calculation for the purpose of this clause 12.2
(Calculations), the Independent Expert shall:

12.2.4.1 use the input parameters contained in such Financial Model, unless
either Party objects to any such parameter as not properly reflecting
the most likely outcome for the matter which is the subject of the
input parameter concerned, in which case the Independent Expert,

23
acting reasonably and after having taken appropriate specialist and
technical advice and considered the representations of the Parties, if
any, shall be entitled to amend the input parameter concerned to
reflect the most likely outcome; and

12.2.4.2 calculate Expected Equity Value by discounting the relevant

Development Obligations) being payable to the DoE and/or in

13.2 Termination Points

13.2.1 Subject to clauses 13.2.3 and 13.2.4, the Seller shall be deemed to have
incurred:

13.2.1.1 half of one (1/2) Termination Point at the end of any Contract
Quarter if, in respect of that Contract Quarter, the Total Quarterly
Economic Development Performance determined pursuant to
Schedule 2 (Economic Development Obligations) is less than sixty
five per cent (65%); and

13.2.1.2 half of one (1/2) Termination Point at the end of any Contract
Quarter if, in respect of that Contract Quarter and the immediately

Performance on any of the Economic Development Sub-Elements is
below the Termination Threshold set in Schedule 2 (Economic
Development Obligations) for the specific Economic Development
Sub-Element.

13.2.2 Not more than three (3) Termination Points shall be imposed upon the
Seller at the end of any Contract Quarter.

13.2.3 The Seller shall, in respect of each report submitted for a Contract
Quarter in which an event giving rise to a Termination Point occurs,
provide the DoE with a rectification programme detailing the steps and
time period it will take to rectify any event that does result in or which
would entitle the award of a Termination Point. In the case where the
Seller has not provided the rectification programme with the report

24
submitted for a Contract Quarter, it shall submit such a rectification
programme within ten (10) calendar days from the expiry of the period
referred to in clause 7.1.2 of Schedule 2 (Economic Development
Obligations), or such longer period as the Parties may agree. Upon the
Parties reaching agreement on the proposed rectification programme, the
Seller will be exempted from incurring further Termination Points in
respect of that same event provided the Seller complies with the
rectification programme. Such exemption shall lapse and a new
Termination Point may be incurred in the event the Seller deviates from
the rectification programme, (unless the DoE agrees otherwise) or upon
the expiry of the time period agreed within which the rectification
programme is to be implemented.

13.2.4 Should the Parties not reach agreement on the proposed rectification
programme, such a disagreement can be referred to dispute resolution in
terms of clause 17 (Fast Track Dispute Resolution) for determination as
to whether the proposed rectification programme will rectify the event that
does result in or which will entitle the award of Termination Points and
whether the time period suggested is suitable for the rectification of such
event.

13.2.5 Any Termination Point incurred by the Seller shall lapse twelve (12)
months after the date on which it was incurred.

13.2.6 In the event that, at any date during the Term ("Trigger Date"), the Seller
has accumulated more than nine (9) Termination Points pursuant to this
clause 13.2 (Termination Points) and those Termination Points have not
lapsed, then the DoE shall be entitled, at any time within one (1) year
following the Trigger Date, to terminate this Agreement.

17. FAST TRACK DISPUTE RESOLUTION

17.1 Disputes expressly referred for determination pursuant to this clause 17 (Fast
Track Dispute Resolution) shall be determined by the relevant Independent
Expert.

17.2 Within five (5) Business Days after a dispute has been referred by either Party
to the appropriate Independent Expert, the Independent Expert shall require
the Parties to submit in writing their respective arguments. The Independent
Expert shall, in his absolute discretion, consider whether a hearing is
necessary in order to resolve the dispute.

17.3 It shall be entirely within the power and competence of the Independent Expert
to decide upon any matters related to the proper preparation of the dispute for
hearing and in that regard the Independent Expert shall direct the Parties
accordingly.

17.4 The Independent Expert shall set the date for the hearing, choose the venue
(which must be a venue in South Africa) for the hearing and determine all
matters regarding any aspect of the hearing. Moreover, the Independent
Expert can decide whether at the hearing the Parties are to give oral evidence
or confine themselves to presenting their cases in writing or by some other
appropriate procedure. In this regard, the Independent Expert must be guided
by considerations of fairness, the cost-effective resolution of the dispute, and
the need to resolve the dispute quickly.

17.5 The Independent Expert shall provide both Parties with his written decision on
the dispute, within 20 (twenty) Business Days of the referral (or such other
period as the Parties may agree after the referral). The Independent Expert
shall give his reasons for the award, if so requested by either Party.

17.6 The Independent Expert’s costs of any referral shall be borne as the
Independent Expert shall specify or, if not specified, equally by the Parties.
Each Party shall bear its own costs arising out of the referral, including its legal
costs and the costs and expenses of any witnesses.

17.7 The Independent Expert shall act impartially and may take the initiative in
ascertaining the facts and the Law.

17.8 Should the need arise for either Party to seek interim or temporary relief
before the adjudication is finalised, that Party may apply to the Independent
Expert to grant such interlocutory order or give the required temporary relief
and the Independent Expert shall have the same power to do so as if the
matter were one heard by a Judge in the High Court of South Africa, save that
if by Law such power or order cannot be exercised or given by an Independent
Expert then, and then only, should the Parties refer such matter to such High
Court.

27
17.9 The proceedings shall be confidential and all information, data or
documentation disclosed or delivered by either Party to the Independent
Expert in consequence of or in connection with his appointment as
Independent Expert shall be treated as confidential. Neither the Parties nor
the Independent Expert shall, save as permitted by clause 20 (Confidentiality)
of this Agreement, disclose to any person any such information, data or
documentation unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing, and all such
information, data or documentation shall remain the property of the Party
disclosing or delivering the same and all copies shall be returned to such Party
on completion of the Independent Expert’s work.

17.10 The Independent Expert is not liable for anything done or omitted in the
discharge or purported discharge of his functions as Independent Expert,
unless the act or omission is grossly negligent or in bad faith. Any employee
or agent of the Independent Expert is similarly protected from liability.

17.11 Should any Party fail to co-operate with the Independent Expert with the result
that in the view of the Independent Expert such default or omission prejudices
the adjudication process, then the Independent Expert can either:

17.11.1 give that Party written notice that unless it remedies the default or
omission within a given time, it will forfeit the right to continue to
participate in the adjudication; or

17.11.2 warn the Party in writing that its default or omission may make it liable to
a punitive order of costs irrespective of whether it succeeds in the
adjudication or not and such punitive award of costs may include an order
of attorney and client costs or attorney and own client costs as those
expressions are understood in the Uniform Rules of Court.

17.12 The Independent Expert shall be deemed not to be an arbitrator but shall
render his decision as an expert and the provisions of the Arbitration Act
No. 42 of 1965 and any other law relating to arbitration shall not apply to the
Independent Expert or his determination or the procedure by which he reaches
his determination. The Independent Expert’s decision shall be final and
binding on the Parties.

18. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

18.2.1.2 if the Parties have been unable to resolve the dispute within fifteen
(15) days of referral to the persons specified in clause 18.2.1.1,

officer or equivalent officer of the Seller.

18.2.2 In attempting to resolve the dispute in accordance with the provisions of


this clause 18.2 (Internal Referral), the Parties shall (and shall procure
that their employees and representatives shall) use reasonable
endeavours to resolve such dispute without delay by negotiations or any
other informal procedure which the relevant representatives may adopt.
Those attempts shall be conducted in good faith in an effort to resolve the
dispute without necessity for formal proceedings.

18.2.3 Any dispute which has not been resolved by the representatives
contemplated in clause 18.2.1.2 within fifteen (15) days of the dispute
being referred to them (or any longer period agreed between the Parties)
shall be treated as a dispute in respect of which informal resolution has
failed.

18.3 Performance to Continue

No reference of any dispute to any resolution process in terms of this


clause 18 (Dispute Resolution) shall relieve either Party from any liability for
the due and punctual performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

resolve the dispute.

8.1.4 The Economic Development Performance Deductions and


Economic Development Performance Credits will be reconciled at
the end of the Construction Measurement Period and during the
Operating Measurement Period at the end of each Contract Year by
adding the outcome of the determination of the Economic
Development Performance Deductions and Economic Development
Performance Credits for each Contract Quarter in the Construction
Measurement Period and thereafter each Contract Quarter in the
Operating Measurement Period during the Contract Year, and:

8.1.4.1 should the reconciliation of the Economic Development


Performance Deductions and Economic Development
Performance Credits at the end of the Construction
Measurement Period or the relevant Contract Year yield a
negative amount, no amounts will be due and payable to the
DoE by the Seller; and

8.1.4.2 should the reconciliation of the Economic Development


Performance Deductions and Economic Development
Performance Credits at the end of the Construction
Measurement Period or at the relevant Contract Year yield a
positive amount, such amount will be due and payable to the
DoE, which shall be due and payable to the DoE by the Seller
within fifteen (15) Business Days of demand of such payment
by the DoE to the Seller.

8.2 Economic Development Termination Points

8.2.1 In terms of clause 13.2 (Termination Points) of this Agreement, the


Total Quarterly Economic Development Performance (“TQP”) of the

68
Seller needs to be calculated to determine the Termination Point(s)
incurred in respect of a specific Contract Quarter. The TQP is
determined as follows: 12
15

𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑄𝑢𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑙𝑦 𝐸𝐷 𝑃𝑒𝑟𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 = � 𝑊𝑖 ∗ 𝑄𝐸𝑃𝑖


𝑖=1

8.2.2 The application of the TQP formula is described in paragraph 8.2.1


of this Schedule 2 (Economic Development Obligations).

8.2.3 In terms of clause 13.2 (Termination Points) of this Agreement, a Bi-


quarterly Economic Development Performance (“BQEP”) needs to
be calculated to determine for each of the respective Economic
Development Sub-Elements, the Termination Point(s) applicable to
the Seller in the current and previous Contract Quarter. The BQEP
is determined as follows:

𝐵𝑖 − 𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑙𝑦 𝐴𝑐ℎ𝑖𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑡𝑤𝑜 𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑡 𝑄𝑢𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠


𝐵𝑄𝐸𝑃𝑖 =
𝐵𝑖 − 𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑙𝑦 𝑂𝑏𝑙𝑖𝑔𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑡𝑤𝑜 𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑡 𝑄𝑢𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠

8.2.4 The:

8.2.4.1 Bi-quarterly Achievement in the two Contract Quarters BQEP is


determined for each of the Economic Development Sub-
Elements as the sum ofin a similar manner as the QEP, which
is described in paragraph 8.1.1.5 of this Schedule 2 (Economic
Development Obligations), for the two Contract Quartersand
"n" is the number of Contract Months in the current and
immediately preceding Contract Quarters; and

8.2.48.2.4.2 Bi-quarterly Obligations in the two Contract Quarters is


determined for each of the Economic Development Sub-
Elements as the sum of the Quarterly Obligations for the two
Contract Quarters.

9. DoE Economic Development Verification

9.1 The DoE shall have the entitlement from time to time, in its sole
discretion, to appoint a person or persons as Economic Development
Independent Monitor(s) to carry out the functions referred to in paragraph
9.3 below. The costs of such appointment shall be borne by the DoE.

9.2 The appointment of the Economic Development Independent Monitor is


in the sole discretion of the DoE, and he may be appointed at any time
during the existence of the Project.

12
Because there are twelve Economic Development Sub-Elements which are applicable during the
Construction Measurement Period, the TQP will be measured, in respect of Contract Quarters falling in
the Construction Measurement Period, on the basis of a sum of twelve rather than fifteen.

69
9.3 The Economic Development Independent Monitor may, subject to the
terms of his appointment, inter alia:

9.3.1 review the Seller and its Contractors’ records including any
monitoring or audits conducted by the Seller and its Contractors, to
verify compliance with the requirements of Schedule 2 (Economic
Development Obligations); and

9.3.2 prepare reports in relation to any of the review or monitoring carried


out by it in terms of its functions pursuant to the provisions of this
Schedule 2 (Economic Development Obligations).

9.4 The Seller and its Contractors shall:

9.4.1 monitor, audit, and record in an auditable manner, its own


implementation and compliance with Schedule 2 (Economic
Development Obligations);

9.4.2 provide the Economic Development Independent Monitor with such


information as the Economic Development Independent Monitor
reasonably requests concerning the implementation by the Seller
and its Contractors of Schedule 2 (Economic Development
Obligations);

9.4.3 invite the DoE who shall be entitled to be represented by the


Economic Development Independent Monitor to all meetings at
which material issues in relation to the implementation by the Seller
and its Contractors of Schedule 2 (Economic Development
Obligations) are to be discussed; and

9.4.4 take account of the opinions expressed by the Economic


Development Independent Monitor.

10. Access to Information

The Seller and its Contractors will allow the DoE access to all the information
that is not considered commercially sensitive on which the quarterly
Economic Development achievements of the Seller and the Contractors were
based. The Seller and its Contractors will allow the Economic Development
Independent Monitor appointed by the DoE access to all the information on
which the quarterly Economic Development achievements of the Seller and
the Contractors were based after receiving a duly completed confidentiality
statement from the Economic Development Independent Monitor.
