WHEREAS:
1. Aveng Africa Proprietary Limited, the Obligor in respect of the Underlying Assets under the
Transaction (the "Relevant Underlying Assets" and the "Relevant Transaction") pursuant to
which the Relevant Notes were issued, Aveng Limited, the Issuer and others have concluded
an agreement (which agreement is conditional, among other things, on the resolutions
described herein being passed by the requisite majorities) pursuant to which:
(a) the Conditions are to be amended so as to include an additional early redemption
option on the terms set out below; and
(b) the Issuer and the Security SPV for the Relevant Transaction would need to be
authorised to amend the agreements comprising the Relevant Underlying Assets and
the Transaction Documents relating to the Relevant Transaction (the "Relevant
Transaction Documents") in order to give effect to the exercise of such proposed new
early redemption option, if exercised.
2. Accordingly, the Issuer hereby presents this request to the Relevant Noteholders.
3. In respect of the request in paragraph 1(a): in terms of Condition 22 of the Relevant Notes and
in relation to each Class of Voting Counterparties under the Relevant Transaction, the Issuer
must, after obtaining conditional formal approval from the JSE Limited (“JSE”) on the amended
Conditions, obtain the prior approval of at least 66.67% (sixty six comma six seven percent)
(the "Required Approval Percentage") of voting rights entitled to be exercised by Voting
Counterparties of a particular Class of Voting Counterparties (which, for purposes of this
request, are the Relevant Noteholders) by either:
(a) notice and written consent:
(i) giving notice of the intention to make such amendment to all of the affected
Voting Counterparties (being the Relevant Noteholders) in accordance with
Condition 20; and
(ii) a written consent to, or written agreement effecting, the proposed
amendments and signed by or on behalf of the Issuer and by or on behalf of
the members of the relevant Class of Noteholders (being the Relevant
Noteholders) holding not less than 66.67% (sixty six comma six seven percent)
of the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes (being the Relevant Notes)
entitled to vote on the matter; or
(b) sending a written notice, together with the amended Conditions or any supplement
to the Conditions to all of the affected Voting Counterparties (being the Relevant
Noteholders) requesting approval of the amendments by way of an Extraordinary
Resolution passed either at a meeting of the relevant Voting Counterparties (being
the Relevant Noteholders) or by written extraordinary resolution in accordance with
the relevant provisions of Condition 21.
4. Condition 22 of the Relevant Notes further provides that:
(a) any amendment to any Programme Document or any Relevant Transaction Document
to which the Issuer is a Party, may only be made with the prior written consent of the
relevant Security SPV considering the position of Voting Counterparties of the
Relevant Transaction (being the Relevant Noteholders) in general; and
(b) unless specifically specified to the contrary, any amendment to the Conditions of the
Relevant Notes and/or any Transaction Document shall only affect the Transaction
and the Transaction Documents to which such Transaction relates (being the Relevant
Transaction and the Relevant Transaction Documents respectively) and shall not have
any effect on the documents and/or conditions applicable to any other Transaction.
5. In respect of the request in paragraph 1(b): in terms of Condition 21 of the Relevant Notes, a
particular Class of Voting Counterparties (which, for purposes of this request, are the Relevant
Noteholders) may give instructions to the relevant Security SPV or the Issuer in respect of any
matter not covered in the Conditions or in the Relevant Transaction Documents by Ordinary
Resolution of the Voting Counterparties (being the Relevant Noteholders) passed either at a
meeting of the relevant Voting Counterparties or by written resolution in accordance with the
relevant provisions of Condition 21.

discussions with Aveng and the majority of the holders of the Relevant Notes.
