11.2.2 Evander delivers to Harmony a written indemnity on terms reasonably acceptable to Harmony, indemnifying the Indemnified Party against all charges and all legal costs (not limited by any scale) which may be incurred or awarded as a consequence of such steps.

If any Indemnified Party makes any payment in respect of the Indemnified Loss, Harmony shall provide Evander with proof of such payment.

11.4 Any claim by a Party (“Claiming Party”) against the other Party (“Paying Party”) based on a breach of a representation, undertaking or warranty contained in this Agreement, or in respect of any other matter against which a Paying Party has undertaken to indemnify the Claiming Party, shall be reduced by an amount equal to any tax benefit received by the Claiming Party as a result thereof, based on the nominal tax rate applicable at the time (“Tax Benefit”). A Claiming Party is assumed to be entitled to such Tax Benefit unless it proves otherwise, before the date on which the payment of the claim must be made by the Paying Party.

15.1 The Parties undertake that during the operation of, and after the expiration, termination or cancellation of, this Agreement for any reason, they will keep confidential –

15.1.1 any Confidential Information which a Party (“Disclosing Party”) communicates to the other Party (“Recipient”) in writing, visual or machine readable form (including by fax and other forms of electronic transmission) or orally and which is stated to be or by its nature is intended to be confidential; and

15.1.2 all other information of the same confidential nature concerning the business of a Disclosing Party which comes to the knowledge of the Recipient whilst it is engaged in negotiating the terms of this Agreement or after its conclusion.

15.2 If a Recipient is uncertain about whether any information is to be treated as confidential in terms of this clause 15 it shall be obliged to treat it as such until written clearance is obtained from the Disclosing Party.

17

15.3 Each Party undertakes, subject to clause 15.4, not to disclose any information which is to be kept confidential in terms of this clause 15, nor to use such information for its own or anyone else’s benefit.

15.4 Notwithstanding the provisions of clause 15.3, a Recipient shall be entitled to disclose any information to be kept confidential if and to the extent only that the disclosure is bona fide and necessary for the purposes of carrying out its duties in terms of this Agreement.

15.5 The obligation of confidentiality placed on the Parties in terms of this clause 15 shall cease to apply to a Recipient in respect of any information which –

15.5.1 is or becomes generally available to the public other than by the negligence or default of the Recipient or by the breach of this Agreement by the Recipient;

15.5.2 the Disclosing Party confirms in writing is disclosed on a non-confidential basis;

15.5.3 has lawfully become known by or come into the possession of the Recipient on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Disclosing Party having the legal right to disclose same, provided that such knowledge or possession is evidenced by the written records of the Recipient existing at the Signature Date; or

15.5.4 is disclosed pursuant to a requirement or request by operation of law, regulation or court order, to the extent of compliance with such requirement or request only and not for any other purpose,

provided that –

15.5.5 the onus shall at all times rest on the Recipient to establish that information falls within the exclusions set out in clauses 15.5.1 to 15.5.4;

15.5.6 information will not be deemed to be within the foregoing exclusions merely because such information is embraced by more general information in the public domain or in the Recipient’s possession; and

15.5.7 any combination of features will not be deemed to be within the foregoing exclusions merely because individual features are in the public domain or in the Recipient’s possession, but only if the combination itself and its principle of operation are in the public domain or in the Recipient’s possession.

18

15.6 In the event that the Recipient is required to disclose confidential information of the Disclosing Party as contemplated in clause 15.5.4, the Recipient will –

16.2 No announcements of any nature whatsoever will be made by or on behalf of a Party relating to this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, save for any announcement or other statement required to be made in terms of the provisions of any law or by the rules of any recognised securities exchange, in which event the Party obliged to make such statement will first consult with the other Party in order to enable the Parties in good faith to attempt to agree the content of such announcement, which (unless agreed) must go no further than is required in terms of such law or rules. This will not apply to a Party wishing to respond to the other Party which has made an announcement of some nature in breach of this clause 16.

16.3 This clause 16 shall not apply to any disclosure made by a Party to its professional advisors or consultants, provided that they have agreed to the same confidentiality undertakings, or to any judicial or arbitral tribunal or officer, in connection with any matter relating to this Agreement or arising out of it.

18.2.3.1 if the breach can reasonably be remedied within a shorter period, the Party giving the notice may specify that shorter period in the notice and the Party in default shall remedy the breach within that period; or

18.2.3.2 if the breach cannot reasonably be remedied within such 10 (ten) business day period, the Party in default shall be entitled to an extension, not exceeding a further 10 (ten) business days, to remedy the breach, on condition that the Party in default provides evidence to the reasonable

20

satisfaction of the other Party within such 10 (ten) business day period that effective steps to remedy the breach have been initiated and continues to provide such evidence on an ongoing basis that the steps are being expeditiously pursued,

the Party shall be in default.

18.3 If a Party is in default (“Defaulting Party”), the other Party (“the Aggrieved Party”) shall be entitled, at its option without prejudice to any other right that it may have under this Agreement or at law –

18.3.2.1 it is capable of being remedied, but is not so remedied within the Notice Period; or

18.3.2.2 it is incapable of being remedied or is not remedied within the Notice Period, and payment in money will compensate for such breach but such payment is not made within the Notice Period.

18.4 The Parties agree that any costs awarded will be recoverable on an attorney-and-own-client scale unless the Court specifically determines that such scale shall not apply, in which event the costs will be recoverable in accordance with the High Court tariff, determined on an attorney-and-client scale.

18.5 The Aggrieved Party’s remedies in terms of this clause 18 are without prejudice to any other remedies to which the Aggrieved Party may be entitled in law.

22
