     Property”) and Erf 871 Mqanduli, known as Boxer Centre
     Mqanduli (“the Third Property”) (“the Acquisition”).

     The First, Second and Third Properties are hereafter
     collectively referred to as “the Properties” and the rental
     enterprises conducted by the Seller at the respective
     Properties are collectively referred to as the “Rental
     Enterprises”.

     In terms of the Acquisition Agreement, the Rental Enterprises
     include:

     a)   All right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the
          respective written notarial deeds of lease (“Notarial
          Leases”) entered into by the Seller, as lessee, registered
          over the Properties;

     b)   All right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the
          lease agreements entered into by the Seller, as landlord,
          in respect of the premises situated at the Properties;

     c)   The fixed assets of the Seller on the Properties
          pertaining to the Rental Enterprises;

          contracts concluded in the ordinary course of business of
          each Rental Enterprise;

     each Notarial Lease, be the date of registration of the
     cession and delegation of the relevant Notarial Lease in the
     name of the Company, which shall occur as soon as possible
     after the fulfilment of the conditions precedent to the
     Acquisition Agreement, which is anticipated to occur on or

2.   RATIONALE FOR THE ACQUISITION

     consideration of R133 000 000 (one hundred and thirty three
     million Rand) (“Purchase Consideration”), which includes VAT
     at the rate of 0%, payable in cash on the Registration Date.

     The Purchase Consideration will be allocated in total to the
