1.    This notice of request for consent (this Consent Request) is delivered by the Issuer to each holder of
      Senior Secured Notes (as defined below) (the Noteholders) issued under the Issuer’s
      ZAR5,000,000,000 Domestic Medium Term Note Programme (the Programme) pursuant to the
      section headed “Terms and Conditions of the Notes” (the Terms and Conditions) in the amended and
      restated programme memorandum dated 27 April 2017 and as amended and restated from time to
      time (the Programme Memorandum), in accordance with Condition 18 (Notices) of the Terms and
      Conditions for the purposes of obtaining the Noteholders’ written consent to authorise TMF
      Corporate Services (South African) Proprietary Limited (as Noteholder Trustee and Finance Provider)
      to provide the necessary consent to allow Hospitality Guarantee SPV (RF) Proprietary Limited (the
      Debt Guarantor), as the holder of certain Mortgage Bonds (defined below) forming part of the
      underlying security applicable to the ZAR60,000,000 Senior Secured Noted due 2020 (with Stock

      agree to the proposed extension of the time period in respect of the Real Right of Extension (as
      defined below).

2.    As announced via SENS on 11 April 2017 and 20 April 2017 by the Issuer, its wholly-owned subsidiary
      HPF Properties Proprietary Limited (as Obligor in terms of the Senior Secured Notes) intends to
      acquire (i) various sections and exclusive use areas in the Sandton Eye sectional title scheme (the
      Scheme) from Savana Property Proprietary Limited and (ii) an existing real right of extension (the
      Real Right of Extension) in the Scheme from Sandton Isle Investments Proprietary Limited.

3.    The Radisson Blu Gautrain Hotel (the Radisson) comprises the majority of the Scheme and the
      acquisition of items specified in clause 2(i) and (ii) above will complement the existing hotel
      operations undertaken by the Radisson and increase the Obligor’s participation quota in the Scheme
      from 58.13% to 81.54%.

4.    The Real Right of Extension in the Scheme (held under Notarial Cession of Real Right SK2578/2016S),
      which allows inter alia for the addition of 7 floors (10,000m of bulk rights) to the immovable property
      under the Scheme, expires on 24 February 2021. In terms of section 25(1) of the Sectional Title Act
      No. 95 of 1986, in order to extend the Real Right of Extension for a further 10 years to 24 February
      2031, the approval of both, the Sandton Eye Body Corporate, as well as any mortgage bond holders
      over the Scheme, is required.

5.    Currently the Debt Guarantor holds a first and second ranking mortgage bond (the Mortgage Bonds)
      over Sections 26, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44 and 45 in the Scheme situated at remaining extent of
      Portion 1 of Erf 13 Sandown Township, together with an Undivided Share in the said Scheme
      apportioned to the said Sections in accordance with the Participation Quota as endorsed on the said
      Sectional Plan, as well as Exclusive Use Areas P93, 95, P97 to P102, P104 to P119; being parking, in
      respect of the Radisson.

6.    As the Mortgage Bonds constitute part of the security under the Issuer’s security sharing structure
      and 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.

7.    Capitalised terms used herein which are not otherwise defined shall bear the meaning ascribed
      thereto in the Terms and Conditions or the Security Sharing Agreement dated on or about 28 April
      2017 (the Security Sharing Agreement) as applicable.
