aforementioned gold price adjustment
mechanism) will result in a gold price

price adjustment mechanism) will result in a
gold price adjustment in Eskom's favour.
Payment Dates: 15th day of the calendar month next

during the term of the Transaction
Settlement: Cash settlement in ZAR on each Payment Date,
provided, however, that if such date is not

Day.
OTHER PROVISIONS
Calculation Agent: J. Aron & Company
Fallback Prices/Rate: If any rate or price referenced above is
unavailable as of the applicable time on a
Business Day or would not produce a
commercial reasonable result then such rate
shall be determined by ESKOM in a
commercially reasonable manner.
Payment Netting: If the payment dates for this transaction
and any other forward, swap or option
transaction entered into between the
parties shall fall on the same day and if
the payment obligations thereof shall be
denominated in the same currency, such
payments shall be made on a net basis so
that the party obligated to pay the larger
amount shall day the other party an amount
equal to the excess of the larger aggregate
amount over the smaller aggregate amount or
if such amounts are equal, no payment shall
be made.

this Transaction upon 5 Business Days
written notice if at any time the
transaction between ESKOM and J. Aron &
Company dated the date hereof (the "Related
Hedge") shall be closed out
21

payment of Termination Value shall be due
under this Transaction until any termination
value payment under the Related Hedge is
due. ESKOM and Durban agree that the
Termination Value of this Transaction shall
equal the Termination Value of the Related
Hedge, provided that the obligations
incurred by Eskom under the related hedge
are based on this transaction. ESKOM agrees
it shall give Durban prompt written notice
of the occurrence of any Termination Event
with respect to the Related Hedge.

construed in accordance with South African
