13.1 AGR MATTHEY Covenants

AGR MATTHEY covenants that:

(1) it shall deliver Gold within the specifications as stipulated in paragraph 4 of Schedule 2;

(2) it shall take all possible actions to avoid supply delays;

12

(3) it shall hold in stock Gold conforming to the technical specifications as specified in paragraph 4 of Schedule 2. AGR will maintain a level of stock equal to twice the average weekly consumption of the 4 preceding weeks except when K&S deviate from the agreed procedure set out in Schedule 2, Clause 1 and increase their stock requirement. In which case the rate at which AGR will replenish stock supplied to K&S will be calculated as follows:

Production Rate x Pass Rate – Orders = Stock Replenishment

Where;

“Production Rate” means the rate at which AGR produces Gold of 99.999% purity represented as Kilograms per calendar week;

“Pass Rate” means the rate at which AGR produces Gold conforming to the technical specifications as specified in paragraph 4 of Schedule 2 represented as a percentage;

“Orders” means the orders made by K&S to AGR in accordance with Item 1 of Schedule 2 Working Methodology;

(4) in addition to the primary production process, namely Aqua Regia Digest (ARD) it shall maintain a second production process in a separate area of the refinery, namely the Electrolytic Gold Room (EGR). Gold manufactured through the EGR process has previously been tested and qualified by K&S. Provided that the specification of the Gold meets with the K&S specifications AGR MATTHEY may supply from either process. K&S may inspect the AGR MATTHEY facility from time to time to ensure that AGR MATTHEY is maintaining the second production process;

(5) it shall give K&S 90 days notice of any change to the process location, a change to the process or a major equipment change;

(6) in the event that AGR MATTHEY is not able to supply Gold within the specifications and in the time-frame as stipulated in this Agreement, then K&S may source from an alternative supplier. In the event that the cost of Gold sourced from the alternative supplier is of a greater cost to K&S than the cost under the terms of this Agreement, then AGR MATTHEY shall pay to K&S such additional costs within fourteen (14) Business Days of notification from K&S. Prior to any commitment by K&S to purchase Gold from an alternative supplier, K&S must notify AGR MATTHEY in writing of their proposed course of action;

(7) it shall meet the delivery requirements as set out in paragraph 1 (a) and (b) of Schedule 2;

(8) it shall not subcontract the manufacture of Gold supplied to K&S without the prior written consent of K&S, such consent not being unreasonably withheld;

(9) should AGR MATTHEY find itself in a position such that it is unable to meet the supply requirements of K&S, then AGR MATTHEY shall immediately inform K&S. Furthermore, AGR MATTHEY, with the consent of K&S, shall source Gold from an alternative supplier that meets the minimum

13

specifications as stated in this Agreement, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld by K&S; and

(10) In the event that there is a dispute over the assay of the Gold supplied, then AGR MATTHEY will arrange for an assay to be carried out by an agreed independent laboratory to determine the correct assay. In the event that the Gold supplied by AGR MATTHEY to K&S is not within the specifications as stipulated in this Agreement as determined by the independent laboratory, then the cost to deliver the Gold to AGR MATTHEY and the cost of the independent laboratory’s assay shall be borne by AGR MATTHEY. If determined by the independent laboratory that the Gold is within specification then K&S will be responsible for the cost to deliver the Gold to AGR MATTHEY and the cost of the independent laboratory’s assay.

13.2 AGR MATTHEY shall indemnify K&S and keep K&S indemnified against any losses, damages and/or expenses incurred by K&S arising or resulting from AGR MATTHEY’s breach of any Covenant(s) set out in Clause 13.1(1) to (10) excluding such losses, damages and expenses to the extent it arises or results from K&S’s negligent act or omission or wilful misconduct. K&S shall furnish documentary evidence to AGR MATTHEY of such loss or damage.

13.3 Termination by K&S

Having followed the process of Dispute Resolution in accordance with Clause 16 and subject to the outcome of the process of Dispute Resolution, K&S may terminate this Agreement with immediate effect by giving notice to AGR MATTHEY if:

(a) the Panel determines that AGR MATTHEY has breached any provision of this Agreement and fails to remedy the breach within 5 Business Days after receiving notice requiring it to do so;

(b) the Panel determines that AGR MATTHEY has breached a material provision of this Agreement where that breach is not capable of remedy. For the avoidance of doubt, clauses 14.1(1) to (10) are material provisions; or

(c) the Panel determines that any event referred to in clause 14.4 happens to AGR MATTHEY.

13.4 Notification of events

AGR MATTHEY must notify K&S immediately if:

(a) there is any change in the direct or indirect beneficial ownership or control of AGR MATTHEY;

(b) it disposes of the whole or any part of its assets, operations or business other than in the ordinary course of business;

(c) it ceases to carry on business;

(d) it ceases to be able to pay its debts as they become due;
