3. The request for written consent set out herein relates to:

immovable property owned by HPF situated in the province of KwaZulu Natal (the “KwaZulu Natal
Immovable Property”), as set out in Part I of Annexure A hereto (the “Existing Servitudes”) and (ii) the

collectively, the “Transaction”.
4. The Debt Guarantor currently holds Mortgage Bonds over the Immovable Properties and in order to
implement the Transaction, the consent of the Debt Guarantor is required.
5. It is worth noting that the Transaction contemplated in paragraph 3 above does not fall within the
scope of clause 12 (Release and/or Replacement of Security) of the Security Sharing Agreement as it
does not relate to the (i) the provision of further Mortgage Bonds over the Immovable Properties not
previously forming part of the Transaction Security, or (ii) the release of existing Mortgage Bonds over the
Immovable Properties forming part of the Transaction Security and/or (ii) the replacement of existing
Mortgage Bonds with new Mortgage Bonds.
6. The Finance Providers will not be prejudiced in any way by the proposed Transaction and will remain in
the same position as they were immediately prior to the implementation of the Transaction.
7. As the Mortgage Bonds constitute part of the security under the Issuer’s security sharing structure
relating to the Senior Secured Notes, the Debt Guarantor is required to obtain the Finance Providers’
consent before exercising any decision in respect of the security pursuant to clause 3.1.1.2 of the
Security Sharing Agreement.
