PURCHASE AND SALE
2.1Purchase and Sale of Refined Gold and Refined Platinum
(a)Subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, effective as at and from the Effective Date and throughout the Term, the Seller hereby agrees to sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase from the Seller, in respect of each Offtaker Delivery, an amount of Refined Gold and Refined Platinum equal to the Payable Gold and Payable Platinum, as applicable, free and clear of all Encumbrances.
(b)The amount of Reference Metal, including Reference Gold and Reference Platinum, shall be measured by the amount of contained gold, platinum, palladium and rhodium, as applicable, in the Offtaker Delivery as determined by the applicable Offtaker Sales Documents. Reference Metal, including Reference Gold and Reference Platinum, shall not be reduced for, and the Purchaser shall not be responsible for, any refining charges, treatment charges, penalties, insurance charges, transportation charges, settlement charges, financing charges, Taxes or price participation charges, or other similar charges or deductions, regardless of whether such charges or deductions are expressed as a specific metal deduction, as any recovery rate or otherwise, in any case, pursuant to the terms of the applicable Offtake Agreement or otherwise.
(c)The Refined Gold and Refined Platinum Delivered pursuant to this Agreement need not come from metals physically produced at the Projects, provided that the Seller shall not sell or Deliver to the Purchaser (for purposes of this Agreement and at any time during the Term) any Refined Gold or Refined Platinum that has been directly or indirectly purchased on a commodities exchange.
2.2Delivery Obligations
(a)Subject to Section 2.2(c), other than in respect of the initial Delivery hereunder, the Seller shall Deliver to the Purchaser, not later than the fifth Business Day following the end of each calendar month in which there has been one or more Offtaker Deliveries for which an Offtake Payment has been received, Refined Gold and Refined Platinum as determined in accordance with Section 2.1(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of Lots that are Delivered to a Related Party Offtaker, the required Delivery of Refined Gold and Refined Platinum to the Purchaser hereunder will occur no later than 60 days after the delivery of such Lot to the Related Party Offtaker.


− 47 −
(b)Notwithstanding Section 2.2(a), the Seller will make the first Delivery with respect to Offtaker Deliveries during the months ended September 30, 2024, October 31, 2024, November 30, 2024 and December 31, 2024 by the earlier of (i) 45 days following the Closing Date, or (ii) March 25, 2025, but this subparagraph (ii) shall only be applicable if Closing has occurred no later than February 25, 2025. Such first Delivery and the amount thereof shall be determined with respect to all Lots having an Offtake Date on or after September 1, 2024, including with respect to Minerals extracted prior to that date.
(c)If an Offtake Payment consists of a provisional payment that may be adjusted upon final settlement of an Offtaker Delivery, (i) if the actual Payable Gold or actual Payable Platinum exceeds the amount of Refined Gold or Refined Platinum, respectively, previously Delivered to the Purchaser in respect of such Lot pursuant to Section 2.2(a), the Seller shall Deliver to the Purchaser with the next required Delivery hereunder an additional amount of either or both of Refined Gold and Refined Platinum, as applicable, equal to the amount of such difference until it has fully Delivered to the Purchaser either or both of Refined Gold or Refined Platinum, if any, pursuant to this Section 2.2(c), or (ii) if the Refined Gold or Refined Platinum previously Delivered to the Purchaser in respect of such Lot pursuant to Section 2.2(a) exceeds the actual Payable Gold or the actual Payable Platinum, respectively, then the Seller shall be entitled to set-off and deduct such excess amount of either or both of Refined Gold or Refined Platinum, as applicable, from the next required Delivery by the Seller under this Agreement until it has been fully offset against Deliveries to the Purchaser of either or both of Refined Gold or Refined Platinum, if any, pursuant to this Section 2.2(c). Such determinations shall be made based on the Monthly Operating Report and the other documentation required under Section 2.3.
(d)The Seller shall Deliver to the Purchaser all Refined Gold and Refined Platinum to be Delivered under this Agreement by way of: (i) transfer in metal credits or physical allocation (which in either case shall constitute the delivery of Refined Gold and Refined Platinum); to (ii) the metal account or metal accounts in a Designated Jurisdiction designated by the Purchaser, with both (i) and (ii) to be specified by the Purchaser by electronic communication within 10 Business Days after the Execution Date and thereafter, if there is any change to such information, at least: (i) 14 days in advance of any Delivery of Refined Gold or Refined Platinum in the case of a change in a designated metal account or a change in the Purchaser election from physical allocation to metal credits; or (ii) 60 days in advance of any Delivery of Refined Gold or Refined Platinum in the case of a change in the Purchaser election from metals credits to physical allocation (and thereafter in respect of any substantial amendments to such physical allocation instructions as may be specified by the Purchaser). If the Purchaser specifies Delivery by way of physical allocation of Refined Gold or Refined Platinum, it will pay any incremental costs (including incremental Taxes and additional administrative and compliance costs) of the Seller above those the Seller would have incurred had the Delivery been by way of metal credits, and if the Seller, having used reasonable commercial efforts to effect physical allocation determines it will be unable to do so by the applicable Date of Delivery, the Purchaser and the Seller will cooperate with one another to determine an alternative means of Delivery to the Purchaser prior to such Date of Delivery. If the Purchaser wishes to designate a metal account in a jurisdiction in any location in North America or Europe other than a Designated Jurisdiction, such designation will be subject to the prior written consent of the Seller, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.


− 48 −
(e)The Seller may, at its option exercisable at any time and from time to time, and subject to five days’ prior written notice to the Purchaser, elect to substitute amounts of Refined Platinum required to be Delivered to the Purchaser in a Delivery (such substituted amounts, the “Applicable Platinum Amount”) by delivering that number of ounces of Refined Gold (the “Substitute Gold”) equal to (i) the number of ounces in the Applicable Platinum Amount, multiplied by the Platinum Market Price on the date immediately prior to the Date of Delivery for such Substitute Gold, divided by (ii) the Gold Market Price on the date immediately prior to such Date of Delivery. For the purposes of determining the Platinum Entitlement Percentage and the Gold Entitlement Percentage (and the Gold Cash Price) under this Agreement, the Applicable Platinum Amount shall be applied for the purposes of the former and any Substitute Gold actually delivered by the Seller to the Purchaser in accordance with this Section 2.2(e) shall be excluded for the purposes of the latter.
(f)The Seller may, at its option exercisable at any time and from time to time, and subject to five days’ prior written notice to the Purchaser and the terms of this Section 2.2(f), elect to substitute amounts of Refined Gold required to be Delivered to the Purchaser in a Delivery (such substituted amounts, the “Applicable Gold Amount”) by delivering that number of ounces of Refined Platinum (the “Substitute Platinum”) equal to (i) the number of ounces in the Applicable Gold Amount, multiplied by the Gold Market Price on the date immediately prior to the Date of Delivery for such Substitute Platinum, divided by (ii) the Platinum Market Price on the date immediately prior to such Date of Delivery. The Applicable Gold Amount shall, for any Delivery, not exceed that number of ounces of Refined Gold by which (i) the number of ounces of Payable Gold that the Seller is required to Deliver to the Purchaser in respect of such Delivery exceeds (ii) the aggregate number of ounces of gold, if any, for which a PSA Entity received payment or credit from an Offtaker in respect of the applicable Offtaker Deliveries in respect of which such Delivery is being made. For the purposes of determining the Gold Entitlement Percentage (and the Gold Cash Price) and the Platinum Entitlement Percentage under this Agreement, the Applicable Gold Amount shall be applied for the purposes of the former and any Substitute Platinum actually delivered by the Seller to the Purchaser in accordance with this Section 2.2(f) shall be excluded for the purposes of the latter.
(g)Delivery of Refined Gold and Refined Platinum to the Purchaser shall be deemed to have been made at the time and on the date the Refined Gold or Refined Platinum, as applicable, is credited or physically allocated to a designated metal account of the Purchaser (the “Time of Delivery” on the “Date of Delivery”).
(h)Title to, and risk of loss of, Refined Gold and Refined Platinum shall pass from the Seller to the Purchaser at the Time of Delivery.
(i)Subject to Section 2.2(d), all costs and expenses pertaining to each Delivery of Refined Gold and Refined Platinum to the Purchaser shall be borne by the Seller so long as the Purchaser’s metal accounts are in a Designated Jurisdiction. If the Purchaser specifies Delivery to a jurisdiction other than a Designated Jurisdiction and the Seller consents to such jurisdiction in accordance with Section 2.2(d), then the Purchaser will be responsible for any incremental or additional costs and expenses resulting therefrom (including incremental Taxes and additional administrative and compliance costs) over the costs and expenses that would have applied in the previous Designated Jurisdiction.


− 49 −
(j)The PSA Entities hereby jointly and severally represent and warrant to and covenant with the Purchaser that, at the Time of Delivery: (i) the Seller will be the sole legal and beneficial owner of the Refined Gold and Refined Platinum credited or physically allocated to a metal account of the Purchaser; (ii) the Seller will have good, valid and marketable title to such Refined Gold and Refined Platinum; and (iii) such Refined Gold and Refined Platinum will be free and clear of all Encumbrances.
2.3Invoicing

2.7Tailings Exclusion Period
(a)For so long as the following circumstances apply (the “Tailings Exclusion Period”), the Existing Surface Tailings shall be deemed not to be Minerals:
(i)no Closure in respect of an operating shaft of a Project commences on or prior to the five year anniversary of the Closing Date; or
(ii)a Closure in respect of an operating shaft of a Project commences on or prior to the five year anniversary of the Closing Date, but any such Closure has a non-material impact on expected production, being an impact determined as follows:
(A)within 60 days of such Closure (which shall be deemed to commence from the first date of the applicable shutdown or closure), the Seller shall have prepared (in accordance with a Minimum Technical Standard) and delivered to the Purchaser a revised life of mine reserve plan that is in a form consistent with the PSA LOM Reserve Plan and the summary thereof contained in Schedule L (a “Revised LOM Reserve Plan”) and which reflects such Closure and the impact of the Closure on planned production and Reserves at the Projects; and
(B)such Revised LOM Reserve Plan demonstrates a reduction (from the first date of the applicable shutdown or closure) in expected aggregate production of Metals in comparison to the PSA LOM Reserve Plan (a “Reduction”) of (x) less than 5.0% over the entire period covered by the Revised LOM Reserve Plan, and (y) less than 15.0% over the next five year period commencing from the date of the Closure.


− 51 −
(b)Where Sibanye is not a Public Company required to comply with a Minimum Technical Standard, the Purchaser shall be entitled to appoint (at the Seller’s sole cost and expense) an independent third party expert, experienced in mining engineering, (“Independent Expert (Mining)”) to evaluate such Revised LOM Reserve Plan to determine if such Revised LOM Reserve Plan was prepared in compliance with and reflects Minimum Technical Standards, and if such Independent Expert (Mining) determines that the Revised LOM Reserve Plan was not prepared in all material respects consistent with Minimum Technical Standards, any Reduction demonstrated by the Revised LOM Reserve Plan shall be deemed to have a material impact on expected production for purposes of Section 2.7(a)(ii) and the applicable number of Reduction Ounces shall be calculated on the basis of removing the entire amount of planned production attributable to the Closed Shaft as reflected in the PSA LOM Reserve Plan.
(c)Notwithstanding any acceptance or determination by the Purchaser or the Independent Expert (Mining), as applicable, that the Revised LOM Reserve Plan was prepared in accordance with Minimum Technical Standards, within a period of 30 days after the first anniversary of the Closure, the Purchaser shall be entitled to direct the Independent Expert (Mining) to determine (or, if no such Independent Expert (Mining) has been appointed, to appoint an Independent Expert (Mining), at the Seller’s sole cost and expense, to determine) whether such Revised LOM Reserve Plan has been implemented in respect of the areas impacted by the Closure, substantially as set forth in such Revised LOM Reserve Plan for the first year following the Closure, and if such Independent Expert (Mining) determines that the Revised LOM Reserve Plan was not implemented in respect of the areas impacted by the Closure, substantially as set forth in such Revised LOM Reserve Plan for the first year following the Closure, any Reduction demonstrated by the Revised LOM Reserve Plan shall be deemed (retroactive to the commencement of such Closure) to have a material impact on the expected production for purposes of Section 2.7(a)(ii)
(d)Prior to the Tailings End Date, for any period of time that is not part of a Tailings Exclusion Period (such period, a “Tailings Inclusion Period”), the Existing Surface Tailings shall be included as Minerals for all purposes of this Agreement and such Tailings Inclusion Period shall last until the first time (in respect of the relevant Tailings Inclusion Period, the “Tailings Inclusion End Date”) that the aggregate amount of the Reference Metals produced (on a contained basis) from Existing Surface Tailings and included in Offtaker Deliveries during such Tailings Inclusion Period is equal to the amount of the Reduction Ounces applicable to such Tailings Inclusion Period and such Reduction Ounces shall be determined by comparing the Revised LOM Reserve Plan reflecting the Closure giving rise to such Tailings Inclusion Period to the PSA LOM Reserve Plan.
(e)Where the Seller fails to prepare a Revised LOM Reserve Plan and deliver such Revised LOM Reserve Plan to the Purchaser in such 60-day period as required in Section 2.7(a)(ii)(A), the Closure shall be deemed to be material, a Tailings Inclusion Period shall commence, and the applicable Reduction shall be calculated on the basis of removing the entire amount of planned production attributable to the Closed Shaft as reflected in the PSA LOM Reserve Plan.
(f)Where a Tailings Inclusion Period commences while an existing Tailings Inclusion Period is already ongoing, this shall constitute a single combined Tailings Inclusion Period, and the Tailings Inclusion Period shall continue until the aggregate amount of the Reference Metals produced (on a contained basis)


− 52 −
from Existing Surface Tailings and included in Offtaker Deliveries following the commencement of the initial Tailings Inclusion Period is equal to the aggregate amount of the Reduction Ounces applicable to each Tailings Inclusion Period.
(g)For the purposes of calculating the Reduction Ounces to determine the Tailings Inclusion End Date for any Tailings Inclusion Period, if the Revised LOM Reserve Plan is subsequently revised or amended prior to the Tailings End Date, the impact of the Closure shall be reassessed with the Reduction Ounces calculated using such revised or amended Revised LOM Reserve Plan (giving effect to depletion due to mining).
(h)In the event that a Closed Shaft reopens and production from a Closed Shaft recommences (where the applicable Closure resulted in the commencement of a Tailings Inclusion Period), the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser a Revised LOM Reserve Plan that includes the production from the Closed Shaft that has reopened and this production will be compared to the PSA LOM Reserve Plan. If:
(i)the aggregate production in respect of the reopened Closed Shaft per the Revised LOM Reserve Plan (the “Revised LOM Aggregate Production”) is lower than an amount equal to: (A) the initial Reduction Ounces calculated for such Tailings Inclusion Period (the “Initial Reduction Ounces”); less (B) the aggregate amount of the Reference Metals produced (on a contained basis) from Existing Surface Tailings and included in Offtaker Deliveries during such Tailings Inclusion Period (the “Surface Tailings Deliveries”), a new amount of Reduction Ounces shall be calculated on the basis of deducting from the Initial Reduction Ounces an amount equal to the sum of: (X) the Surface Tailings Deliveries; and (Y) the Revised LOM Aggregate Production, and the Tailings Inclusion Period shall be deemed to continue and the provisions of this Section 2.7 shall apply in the same manner to that revised amount of Reduction Ounces; and
(ii)the Revised LOM Aggregate Production is greater than an amount equal to: (A) the Initial Reduction Ounces; less (B) the Surface Tailings Deliveries, such event shall be deemed to be a Tailings Inclusion End Date in respect of such Closed Shaft and the Seller shall receive a credit (the “Surface Tailings Credit”) in respect of any Surface Tailings Deliveries equal to the lesser of (X) the Revised LOM Aggregate Production plus the Surface Tailings Deliveries minus the Initial Reduction Ounces, and (Y) the Surface Tailings Deliveries. Following such deemed Tailings Inclusion End Date, the Seller shall be able to offset any ounces of Refined Gold or Refined Platinum to be Delivered to the Purchaser with respect to the production of Reference Metals produced from the operating shaft that was formerly a Closed Shaft, by setting off each ounce of Refined Gold or Refined Platinum, as applicable, that were to be Delivered against the ounces of Refined Gold and Refined Platinum that were Delivered with reference to the Surface Tailings Deliveries until the Surface Tailings Credit has been reduced to zero. Each such credit and set-off shall be determined in such a manner as to ensure that there is no double counting of Deliveries of Refined Gold and Refined Platinum in favour of the Purchaser or the Seller.


− 53 −
(iii)For greater certainty, if prior to the five year anniversary of the Closing Date such Closed Shaft is subject to a Closure after it reopens, the procedures in this Section 2.7 will apply to such Closure. For illustrative purposes, sample calculations for the shaft re-opening scenarios set out in (i) and (ii) above are attached as Schedule M.
(i)Any sale, transfer or disposition of any tailings, waste rock, dumps or stockpiles that are Existing Surface Tailings (the “Sale Tailings”) by a Project Owner prior to the Tailings End Date shall be subject to the requirement that: (i) (A) when Sale Tailings are processed, the amount of gold, palladium, platinum and rhodium in such Sale Tailings will be measured (weight, moisture determination and grade) in accordance with internationally accepted best practices and the Project Owners will be given notice of such amounts; and (B) such sale, transfer or disposition is expressly made subject to a reservation of rights in favour of such Project Owner to receive any physical gold and platinum obtained by the purchaser of such Sale Tailings from the processing thereof (or the equivalent payment in respect thereof, with all such payments constituting Offtaker Deliveries in respect of such Sale Tailings); or (ii) such sale is made with the prior written consent of the Purchaser (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). For greater certainty: (i) the Purchaser shall only be entitled to deliveries of Refined Gold and Refined Platinum in respect of the processing of any Sale Tailings during a Tailings Inclusion Period; and (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.7(i) shall cease to apply upon the Tailings End Date.
(j)Nothing in this Section 2.7 shall create, nor shall be deemed to create, any obligation on the part of any PSA Entity to process any Existing Surface Tailings; and provided further that, except as expressly provided in this Section 2.7, no PSA Entity hereby makes (or shall be deemed to make) any representations, or provides (or shall be deemed to provide) any covenants, regarding the ownership of any Existing Surface Tailings at any time.
2.8No Minimum Delivery Obligation
The Seller shall not be required to Deliver any minimum amount of Refined Gold or Refined Platinum under this Agreement.
2.9Delivery Disputes

(vi)such Internal Reorganization would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or result in a material increase in Taxes applicable to the Purchaser, which are not Covered Taxes (unless the Seller or its Successor, as applicable, agrees in writing in advance in favour of the Purchaser (and in form and substance satisfactory to the Purchaser, acting reasonably) to be responsible for and indemnify the Purchaser for any such increased Taxes that result from such Internal Reorganization); and
(vii)all consents required for such Internal Reorganization from any Governmental Authorities have been obtained, and all financial obligations to any Governmental Authority required for such Internal Reorganization have been satisfied.
(d)Notwithstanding this Section 7.3, (i) the proposed transfer of all of the operations and assets from Kroondal to SRPM in accordance with the transactions contemplated in Kroondal Steps Memo shall be permitted hereunder (the “Kroondal Transaction”) and the other requirements set out in this Section 7.3 shall not apply to the Kroondal Transaction; and (ii) the proposed amalgamation of WPL and EPL (the “Amalgamation Transaction”) in accordance with the transactions contemplated in Amalgamation Steps Memo shall be permitted hereunder and the other requirements set out in this Section 7.3 shall not apply to the Amalgamation Transaction.

7.4Processing/Commingling
(a)Until such time as they form part of an Offtaker Delivery, the Project Owners shall not process, and the other PSA Entities shall not permit the Project Owners to process, Minerals through processing facilities that are not owned by the Project Owners.
(b)The Project Owners shall not:


− 67 −
(i)process, and the other PSA Entities shall not permit the Project Owners to process, Other Minerals through the processing facilities that are mills, ore concentrators or other similar processing facilities related to the Projects that are used in the production of concentrates from Minerals in priority to or in place of, or commingle Other Minerals with, Minerals (including blending of concentrates), in each case prior to an Offtaker Delivery in respect of those Minerals; or
(ii)and the other PSA Entities shall not permit any member of the Sibanye Group that owns or operates a smelter, refinery or other similar processing facility used in smelting, refining or other beneficiation of Minerals as of the Effective Date, to process Other Minerals from properties or sources that do not form part of the Properties, in priority to or in place of any Minerals in each case, after an Offtaker Delivery in respect of those Minerals,
(“Priority Processing”) unless the Purchaser has first approved (acting reasonably) in writing, a plan prepared by the Project Owners that provides for the following: (i) the Project Owners have adopted and employ reasonable practices and procedures for weighing, determining moisture content, sampling and assaying, determining recovery factors and metal accounting including any plant transitions to facilitate commingling (a “Commingling Plan”), such Commingling Plan to ensure the division of Other Minerals and Minerals for the purposes of determining the quantum of Reference Metals; and (ii) the Project Owners keep all books, records, data and samples required by the Commingling Plan.
(c)The Project Owners shall not deposit Minerals, and the other PSA Entities shall not permit the Project Owners to deposit Minerals, to the Existing Surface Tailings Area or commingle Minerals with Existing Surface Tailings, except in accordance with a Commingling Plan. The Project Owners shall not deposit Minerals, and the other PSA Entities shall not permit the Project Owners to deposit Minerals on Historical AOI Tailings or commingle Minerals with Historical AOI Tailings, except in accordance with a Commingling Plan.
(d)The PSA Entities shall compensate the Purchaser for any disadvantage incurred or suffered by the Purchaser if Priority Processing occurs and such Priority Processing causes a delay in processing Minerals or a reduction in the amount of Minerals being processed and such Priority Processing causes a delay or reduction in Deliveries of Refined Gold or Refined Platinum to the Purchaser that would otherwise have been made under this Agreement (collectively, a “Displacement”). Such compensation shall be in the form of increased Deliveries in order to ensure that the quantity and timing of Deliveries received by the Purchaser are at least equivalent to what they would have been, based on the Applicable Operating Plan, as if the Displacement had not occurred (such additional amount of Deliveries, the “Compensation Ounces”); provided that, subject to the next sentence, Compensation Ounces may consist of ounces of Refined Platinum notwithstanding that the Displacement impacts Deliveries of Refined Gold (the “Displaced Gold Amount”) or Refined Platinum, and in such case the amount of Compensation Ounces to be Delivered in substitution of any portion of the Displaced Gold Amount (such substituted amounts, the “Replaced Gold Amount”) from time to time shall be equal to that number of ounces of


− 68 −
Refined Platinum equal to: (i) the number of ounces in the Replaced Gold Amount, multiplied by the Gold Market Price on the date immediately prior to the Date of Delivery for such Compensation Ounces being delivered in place of the Replaced Gold Amount, divided by (ii) the Platinum Market Price on the date immediately prior to such Date of Delivery. For the purposes of the foregoing, the Replaced Gold Amount shall, for Deliveries of Compensation Ounces, not exceed that number of ounces of Refined Gold by which (i) the number of ounces of Refined Gold that the Seller is required to Deliver to the Purchaser in respect of such increased Deliveries and other Deliveries hereunder exceeds (ii) the aggregate number of ounces of gold, if any, for which a PSA Entity received payment or credit from an Offtaker in respect of the applicable Offtaker Deliveries in respect of which such increased Deliveries are being made. For the purposes of this Section 7.4(d), “Applicable Operating Plan” means the Operating Plan then in effect (prepared on a bona fide basis without giving effect to or in anticipation of any Displacement). For the purposes of determining the Gold Entitlement Percentage (and the Gold Cash Price) and the Platinum Entitlement Percentage under this Agreement, the Replaced Gold Amount shall be applied for the purposes of the former and any Compensation Ounces being delivered in place of the Replaced Gold Amount that are actually delivered by the Seller to the Purchaser in accordance with this Section 7.4(d) shall be excluded for the purposes of the latter. A sample calculation for determining such compensation is attached hereto as Schedule I.
(e)The PSA Entities will advise the Purchaser in writing in advance of any proposed Displacement and include in that notice an updated Operating Plan including details of the proposed Displacement reasonably sufficient to define the nature, scope and duration of the Displacement and for determining the appropriate compensation to the Purchaser referred to above. Promptly following receipt of such notice, the Parties will work together in good faith to determine and agree on appropriate compensation for the Purchaser in the form of additional Deliveries (or as otherwise agreed).
(f)For purposes of determining appropriate compensation, reference shall be had to the Applicable Operating Plan, provided that: (i) production from the processing facilities of the Projects will be based on operations in the ordinary course at such time (excluding the effect of any ongoing or proposed Displacement or preparations therefor); (ii) any preparatory activities in relation to the proposed Displacement, including a plant shut down and/or modification or changes in throughput, will be taken into account; and (iii) the Parties acknowledge that the Applicable Operating Plan does not represent a guaranteed level of production and that no compensation will be payable beyond the amount of Deliveries that the Purchaser would have received in the absence of the Displacement.
(g)The Seller will receive a credit for additional Deliveries made as compensation for Displacement against Deliveries to be made under Section 2.2 of this Agreement once there is no longer any ongoing Displacement and such credit shall be determined in such a manner as to ensure that there is no double counting of Deliveries in favour of the Purchaser.
(h)The Purchaser acknowledges that the proposed Displacement may occur at any time after the notice in Section 7.4(e) has been given, even if compensation has not been agreed or determined, provided that a Commingling Plan has been approved in accordance with Section 7.4(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing,


− 69 −
compensation shall apply retroactively to the date that the Displacement commenced.
(i)If within 60 days of commencing discussions to determine appropriate compensation for the Purchaser as a result of any Displacement, the Parties have been unable to agree on such compensation, any Party may refer the matter to the Independent Expert (Technical) in accordance with Section 15.1(c), provided further that in its determination, the Independent Expert (Technical) must apply the provisions of this Section 7.4.
(j)In the event of a change in circumstances with respect to any Displacement which may materially affect the compensation to the Purchaser previously determined or if there is any new Displacement or any additional planned Displacement, the provisions of the foregoing paragraph shall apply again to determine the appropriate compensation to the Purchaser.
(k)Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Displacement shall be deemed not to have occurred to the extent that, at the time of the relevant Priority Processing in respect of a Project, the Minerals for such Project have been exhausted or are not economically viable to extract from a technical, legal or regulatory perspective, having regard to all reasonable mitigating actions which could be undertaken in accordance with the Seller’s obligations under Section 7.1.
7.5Offtake Agreements
(a)The PSA Entities shall ensure that when Minerals that contain (x) prior to the later of the Gold Stream Date and the Platinum Stream End Date, any Metals; or (y) thereafter, any gold, all such Minerals are:
(i)sold by a PSA Entity to an Offtaker pursuant to an Offtake Agreement to which a PSA Entity is a party; or
(ii)delivered to a Related Party Offtaker.
(b)To the extent relevant to the determination of the amount of Refined Gold or Refined Platinum to be Delivered to the Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement, the PSA Entities shall ensure that all Offtake Agreements entered into by a PSA Entity shall be on commercially reasonable arm’s length terms and conditions for concentrates or other products similar in make-up and quality to those derived from the Minerals, including with respect to report and settlement protocols, weighing, sampling, moisture determination and assaying procedures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the PSA Entities shall not be required to enter into written Offtake Agreements with Related Party Offtakers who are also PSA Entities, provided that customary reporting protocols and customary weighing, sampling, moisture determination and assaying procedures are implemented with respect to deliveries to such Related Party Offtakers.
(c)With respect to any Offtake Agreements entered into after the Execution Date, the PSA Entities shall, within 15 days after execution thereof by each of the parties thereto, promptly provide to the Purchaser a final signed copy of such Offtake Agreement, with only such redactions as may be required by the confidentiality restrictions in the applicable agreement. The PSA Entities shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to avoid any requirement for the redaction of any part of any Offtake Agreement.


− 70 −
(d)The PSA Entities shall take reasonable steps to enforce their rights and remedies under each Offtake Agreement with respect to any breaches of the terms thereof relating to the calculation, timing, and amount of Offtake Payments to be made thereunder. The PSA Entities shall promptly notify the Purchaser in writing when any dispute in respect of any matter arising out of or in connection with any Offtake Agreement arises and shall provide the Purchaser with timely updates of the status of any such dispute and the final decision and award of the court or arbitration panel with respect to such dispute, as the case may be.
7.6Insurance
(a)The Project Owners shall maintain at all times with reputable insurance companies insurance in good standing with respect to the Projects’ operations against such casualties, losses and contingencies and of such types and in such amounts as is customary for comparable projects in the mining industry in South Africa, such insurance shall include, for so long as the Projects are operating, business interruption insurance customary for international mining projects.
(b)The Project Owners shall ensure that each shipment of (x) prior to the later of the Gold Stream Date and the Platinum Stream End Date, any Metals; or (y) thereafter, any gold, is adequately insured in such amounts and with such coverage as is customary in the mining industry in South Africa, until such time as risk of loss and damage for such Metal is transferred to the Offtaker.
(c)Where any PSA Entity, Sibanye or any Sibanye Affiliate has received payment under an insurance policy in respect of a shipment of Metals that is lost or damaged after leaving a Project and before the risk of loss or damage is transferred to the Offtaker:
(i)prior to the Gold Stream Date, the Seller shall:
(A)use the Applicable Percentage of the Net Proceeds of any insurance payment received by the PSA Entity, Sibanye or any Sibanye Affiliate in respect of the platinum, palladium, rhodium and gold contained in such shipment to acquire Refined Gold, and shall sell and deliver to the Purchaser (without duplication to the extent previously sold and delivered to Purchaser by the Seller) such amount of Refined Gold at the applicable Gold Market Price, and the Purchaser will pay the Purchase Price therefor in accordance with Sections 2.4, against delivery of such Refined Gold. In this Section 7.6(c)(i)(A), “Applicable Percentage” means the applicable percentages then in effect as specified in the definitions of “Gold Entitlement Percentage”; and
(B)use the Applicable Percentage of the Net Proceeds of any insurance payment received by the PSA Entity, Sibanye or any Sibanye Affiliate in respect of the platinum contained in such shipment to acquire Refined Platinum, and shall sell and deliver to the Purchaser (without duplication to the extent previously sold and delivered to Purchaser by the Seller) such amount of Refined Platinum at the applicable Platinum Market Price, and the Purchaser will pay the Purchase Price therefor in accordance with Sections 2.5, against delivery of such Refined Platinum.

In this Section 7.6(c)(ii)(A), “Applicable Percentage” means the applicable percentages then in effect as specified in the definitions of “Gold Entitlement Percentage”; and
(B)use the Applicable Percentage of the Net Proceeds of any insurance payment received by the PSA Entity, Sibanye or any Sibanye Affiliate in respect of the platinum contained in such shipment to acquire Refined Platinum, and shall sell and deliver to the Purchaser (without duplication to the extent previously sold and delivered to Purchaser by the Seller) such amount of Refined Platinum at the applicable Platinum Market Price, and the Purchaser will pay the Purchase Price therefor in accordance with Sections 2.5, against delivery of such Refined Platinum. In this Section 7.6(c)(ii)(B), “Applicable Percentage” means the applicable percentages then in effect as specified in the definitions of “Platinum Entitlement Percentage”.
(iii)Where a PSA Entity, Sibanye or any Sibanye Affiliate has received payment under an insurance policy in respect of a Project or the Project Owners’ interest therein as a result of an event that does or is reasonably likely to materially reduce the amount of (x) prior to the later of the Gold Stream Date and the Platinum Stream End Date, any Metals; or (y) thereafter, any gold, that will be sold to Offtakers from the Projects in any one or more years, the PSA Entities, Sibanye or any Sibanye Affiliate, as applicable, shall either: (i) cause the Project Owners to use such amount of Net Proceeds of any insurance payment received by such PSA Entity, Sibanye or Sibanye Affiliate as is necessary to fully rebuild or repair the Projects or any part thereof damaged as a result of the foregoing event (to the extent that the Project Owners determine that such rebuilding or repair is appropriate in accordance with Section 7.1), provided that in such instance the Purchaser shall not be entitled to any portion of such Net Proceeds (including, for greater certainty, Net Proceeds, if any, remaining after the completion of such rebuilding or repair); or (ii) cause the Seller to pay to the Purchaser an amount equal to the Sharing Percentage multiplied by the Net Proceeds of any insurance payment received by a PSA Entity, Sibanye or a Sibanye Affiliate in respect thereof within 10 days after receipt of such proceeds.

7.9Expropriation
(a)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, upon the occurrence of an Expropriation Event:
(i)in respect of the Project Owners’ rights and interests in any Project, all obligations of the PSA Entities under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Project to which the Expropriation Event pertains (such affected portion being the “Affected Property”) shall be suspended, including the Seller’s Delivery obligations under this Agreement with respect to any Minerals mined, produced, extracted or otherwise recovered from any such Affected Property; provided, however, that all obligations of the PSA Entities under this Agreement with respect to any portion of a Project other than the Affected Property and the other Projects shall not be suspended;
(ii)in respect of the issued voting securities of any Project Owner or Holdco (the securities affected by the Expropriation Event being the “Affected Securities”), the obligations of such PSA Entity to guarantee the Seller’s Delivery obligations under this Agreement with respect to any Refined Gold or Refined Platinum shall be suspended pro-rata in the proportion that the Affected Securities bear to the total number of such issued voting securities of such PSA Entity. (For purposes of illustration only, if 65% of the issued voting securities of a Project Owner are expropriated, then the obligations of the Project Owner to guarantee the amount of Refined Gold and Refined Platinum Deliverable to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced by 65% of the amount of such Deliveries that the Purchaser would have received absent such Expropriation Event.) The obligations of the other PSA Entities under this Agreement shall also be suspended to the extent that such Expropriation Event causes them to be unable to comply with such obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all or substantially all of the issued voting securities of a Project Owner or a Holdco are acquired as a result of the Expropriation Event, only the obligations of the other PSA Entities shall be suspended hereunder to the extent set forth above;


− 76 −
(iii)in the event that the Expropriation Event subsequently ceases to exist, all obligations of the PSA Entities under this Agreement suspended pursuant to this Section 7.9 shall automatically recommence with effect from the time such Expropriation Event ceases to exist. Provided further that, with respect to this clause (a)(iii) and paragraph (b) below, notwithstanding any such suspension, if Minerals are sold during the period of suspension for the benefit of any of the PSA Entities, then any PSA Entity which has received such benefit and which is not prevented from doing so by the Expropriation Event shall in proportion to the benefit received make to the Purchaser the Deliveries that would have otherwise been made under this Agreement by the due dates therefor or as soon as practicable thereafter;
(iv)without limiting the generality of this Section 7.9(a):
(A)any loss of ownership or control over any Affected Property or Affected Securities as a result of an Expropriation Event shall not be a Transfer or a Change of Control of any entity for any purpose under this Agreement;
(B)any portion of a Project that becomes an Affected Property as a result of an Expropriation Event shall (until the Expropriation Event ceases) not be part of the Projects for any purpose under this Agreement; and
(C)no portion of the Deposit shall become repayable as a result of an Expropriation Event.
(v)If any expropriatory act or series of expropriatory acts occurs and results in issued voting securities of any of the Project Owners or Holdcos ceasing to be owned or controlled by Sibanye or the Holdcos, as applicable, but does not constitute an Expropriation Event, then those obligations of Sibanye or the Holdcos, as applicable, under this Agreement which such Parties are unable to comply with by reason of such occurrence shall be suspended (until such act has been reversed or ceases to apply), provided that in no event shall any such occurrence relieve the Seller of its obligations to make Deliveries under Section 2.2.
(b)In the event that any Expropriation Event occurs or any other Expropriatory Act occurs that has a similar economic effect to an Expropriation Event, the PSA Entities shall, to the extent that a prudent owner or operator of a mining project in South Africa would do so (as if the affected operations form a majority of such owner or operator’s South African operations), use their commercially reasonable efforts to challenge, repudiate, void, stay or overturn such act of expropriation and, if unsuccessful, to obtain compensation for such expropriation, including under any applicable business investment treaty or foreign investment contract.
(c)In the event that a PSA Entity, Sibanye or any Sibanye Affiliate receives directly or indirectly any payment, distribution or other valuable compensation as a consequence of or in respect of any act of expropriation relating to a Project or the PSA Entities (the “Compensation”), the PSA Entities shall pay or cause to be paid to the Purchaser an amount equal to the Sharing Percentage multiplied by the Net Proceeds within 10 days after receipt of such Compensation. Following receipt of any Compensation by Sibanye or a Sibanye Affiliate where the Compensation amount received by them as a consequence of or in respect of any


− 77 −
act of expropriation relating to a Project or the PSA Entities is in excess of $100,000,000, the PSA Entities shall not make any Distribution or any other payment (including by way of set-off) to Sibanye or any Sibanye Affiliate until such portion of the Compensation is paid to the Purchaser in accordance with this Section 7.9.
(d)If any of the PSA Entities, Sibanye or any Sibanye Affiliate, as applicable, is required to repay all or any of the Compensation received by it for an expropriation pursuant to any requirement of a Governmental Authority in order to re-establish any PSA Entities’ direct or indirect ownership interest in the Projects, then the PSA Entities shall give written notice to the Purchaser of such requirement, together with the proposed mine plan and such other information the Purchaser may reasonably request in order to determine whether to exercise its option set forth in the following sentence. The Purchaser shall have the option, exercisable within 30 days of the receipt of such notice and information, to (i) repay to the PSA Entities a pro rata portion (determined based on the percentage used to calculate the payment to the Purchaser under Section 7.9(c)) of such Compensation required to be repaid, or (ii) agree to terminate this Agreement solely with respect to the portion of the applicable Project or Properties subject to the re-established interest. Failure by the Purchaser to provide written notice of its election within such 30-day period shall be deemed an election of the Purchaser to terminate this Agreement with respect to the portion of the applicable Project or Properties subject to the re-established interest, effectively immediately thereafter.
7.10Abandonment Property
A Project Owner may abandon, surrender or relinquish any right of ownership or allow to lapse or expire any leasehold right or lawful interest in any of the Properties, or any part thereof (an “Abandonment” and “Abandon” and “Abandoned” shall have corresponding meanings) if such Project Owner determines, having sought to act in a commercially reasonable manner, that it is not economical to mine the Minerals from such Properties that it proposes to Abandon and the Project Owner has provided the Purchaser with at least 60 days’ prior written notice of such Abandonment and, the PSA Entities have not received from the Purchaser, at least 30 days before the proposed date of the Abandonment, written notice that the Purchaser desires the Project Owner to convey or cause the conveyance of such Properties (the “Abandonment Property”) to the Purchaser or an assignee. If such written notice is received by the PSA Entities from the Purchaser, the applicable Project Owner shall, in exchange for consideration of one U.S. Dollar, acting in good faith, use commercially reasonable efforts to convey or cause the conveyance of the Abandonment Property to the Purchaser on an as is, where is basis and at the sole cost, risk and expense of the Purchaser and shall thereafter have no further obligation to maintain the title to such Abandonment Property. If the Purchaser does not give such written notice to the PSA Entities within the prescribed period of time, the Project Owner may abandon such Abandonment Property and shall thereafter have no further obligation to maintain the title to such Abandonment Property or maintain such Abandonment Property in good standing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, real property, surface rights or other similar rights in the surface lands that make up any part of the Properties proposed to be Abandoned (“Abandonment Surface Rights”), shall not be considered Abandonment Property for the purposes of this Section 7.10 and shall not be subject to the Purchaser acquisition right in respect of


− 78 −
Abandonment Property described in this Section 7.10, provided that such Abandonment Surface Rights may not be disposed of by a Project Owner without reserving enforceable rights by the Purchaser or an assignee of sufficient access and other rights to ensure the holder thereof can conduct exploration, mining and processing activities on such Abandonment Surface Rights.
7.11Restrictions on PSA Entities
(a)The Project Owners shall not, and the other PSA Entities shall not permit the Project Owners to:
(i)carry on any business other than the business of operating the Projects, including exploration activities, and all other ancillary activities related thereto, or as required to perform its obligations under Applicable Law or the Transaction Documents; or
(ii)own or lease any real or personal property, other than as required to carry on the business described in Section 7.11(a)(i), except any real or personal property that is not material to the Project Owners.
(b)The Holdcos shall not, and the other PSA Entities shall not permit the Holdcos to:

7.21Investment Grade Rating

(ii)no Triggering Event has occurred and is continuing under this Agreement,
the PSA Entities will not be subject to the provisions of Section 7.13 or Section 7.16 of this Agreement (the “Suspended Covenant”).


− 84 −
(b)If at any time the senior unsecured debt credit rating of Sibanye or any Subject Guarantor is thereafter downgraded from an Investment Grade Rating by any of the Rating Agencies that had given it an Investment Grade Rating, or if a Triggering Event occurs and is continuing, then the Suspended Covenant will thereafter be reinstated as if such covenant had never been suspended (the “Reinstatement Date”) and be applicable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (including in connection with performing any calculation or assessment to determine compliance with the terms of this Agreement), unless and until Sibanye and/or any Subject Guarantor subsequently attains an Investment Grade Rating from at least two of the Rating Agencies and no Triggering Event is in existence (in which event the Suspended Covenant shall no longer be in effect for such time that Sibanye and/or any Subject Guarantor maintains an Investment Grade Rating from at least two of the Rating Agencies and no Triggering Event is in existence); provided, however, that no Triggering Event, PSA Entities Event of Default or breach of any kind shall be deemed to exist under this Agreement with respect to the Suspended Covenant based on, and none of the PSA Entities shall bear any liability for, any actions taken or events occurring during the Suspension Period (as defined below) in reliance on such suspension, regardless of whether such actions or events would have been permitted if the Suspended Covenant remained in effect during such period. The period of time between the date of suspension of the covenant and the Reinstatement Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period”. Without limiting the generality of the forgoing, any Indebtedness incurred during the Suspension Period will, to the extent such Indebtedness would not have been permitted to be incurred pursuant to the Suspended Covenant if such Suspended Covenant had remained in effect during such Suspension Period, be deemed to have been outstanding on the Execution Date, so that it is thereafter classified as Permitted Indebtedness under clause (b) of the definition thereof.

(iv)if the Purchaser and the Seller do not consummate the sale of the Offered Interest within 90 days of the date of the Acceptance Notice (other than where such failure is as a result of Seller’s breach of its obligations under this Section 8.2(c) or failure to act reasonably and in good faith in accordance with Section 8.2(c)(iii), in which case the Purchaser shall be released from its Acceptance Notice and shall be free to sell the Offered Interest to any Person on any terms and conditions in its discretion), the Parties will be released from their obligations under the Offer and the provisions of this Section 8.2(c) shall again re-commence;
(v)if the Purchaser does not deliver an Acceptance Notice to the Seller within the Acceptance Period confirming the Purchaser’s agreement to sell the Offered Interest pursuant to the Offer or declines the Offer during the Acceptance Period, the Purchaser shall be entitled to sell the Offered Interest to any other Person, provided that the terms and conditions are

more favourable, in the aggregate, to the Purchaser than those contained in the Offer and the ultimate Transferred Interest is the same proportion as the Offered Interest relative to the Purchaser’s interest in this Agreement but subject to delivering to the Seller at least 10 days’ prior written notice of the material details of such Transfer and subject to complying with the requirements for any such Transfer as described in Section 8.2(b) (other than the requirement therein to comply with this Section 8.2(c) with respect to such Transfer). If the Purchaser does not complete the Transfer of all or a portion of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any such Person in accordance with the requirements of Section 8.2(b) within 120 days after the end of the Acceptance Period, the provisions of this Section 8.2(c) shall again re-commence; and
(vi)if the Seller does not provide any Offer to the Purchaser in accordance with Section 8.2(c)(i) during the Offer Request Period, the Purchaser may Transfer all or a portion of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any Person in accordance with the requirements of Section 8.2(b), provided that such transaction is consummated within 150 days of the date of the Offer Request, but subject to delivering to the Seller at least 10 days’ prior written notice of the material details of such Transfer and subject to complying with the requirements for any such Transfer as described in Section 8.2(b) (other than the requirement therein to comply with this Section 8.2(c) with respect to such Transfer). If the Purchaser does not complete the Transfer of all or a portion of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any such Person in accordance with the requirements of Section 8.2(b) within such 150-day period, the provisions of this Section 8.2(c) shall again re-commence.
(d)Section 8.2(c) shall not apply to (i) any Transfer of a Transferred Interest to a Purchaser Affiliate in accordance with the requirements of Section 8.2(a), or (ii) for a period of five years following the Closing Date, any Transfers of a Transferred Interest by the Purchaser in accordance with the requirements of Section 8.2(b) of up to an aggregate of 49% of its undivided beneficial interests in this Agreement by way of syndication (a “Syndication Transfer”). Section 8.2(c) shall apply to any direct or indirect Transfer of voting and equity interests of the Purchaser or of any Purchaser Affiliate (other than Purchaser Parent) that hold the voting and equity interests of the Purchaser (other than a Transfer to a Purchaser Affiliate) if, and only if, the right of the Purchaser under this Agreement constitute more than 80% of the net asset value of the Purchaser or such Purchaser Affiliate, as the case may be.
(e)This Section 8.2 shall not apply to (and none of the following shall be a Transfer by the Purchaser):
(i)any Transfer of securities of, or Change of Control of the Purchaser Parent; and
(ii)the grant by the Purchaser of any security interest in its rights under this Agreement to a bona fide third-party lender, and any foreclosure sale, transfer in lieu thereof or other disposition pursuant thereto.

Taxes, in each case that has an adverse effect on any of the Parties or any of their Affiliates in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the PSA Entities and the Purchaser agree that they shall negotiate in good faith with each other to amend this Agreement so that the Parties and their Affiliates are no longer adversely affected by any such enactment, revision, implementation, amendment or interpretation, as the case may be; provided that any amendment to this Agreement shall not have any adverse effect on the Seller or their Affiliates on the one hand or the Purchaser or its Affiliates on the other hand.
(d)Where the Seller determines in its sole discretion that seeking such a refund is reasonable in the circumstances, the Seller and/or any relevant PSA Entity may, at its sole cost, seek a refund of any Taxes contemplated in Sections 14.2(a)(i), 14.2(b) or 14.2(a)(ii) and required to be paid or remitted by any PSA Entity; the Purchaser shall, at the Seller’s sole cost, cooperate with and provide all reasonable assistance to the Seller and/or PSA Entity in seeking such refund. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 14.2, reasonable assistance shall not be required if in the Purchaser’s reasonable judgment such assistance would subject the Purchaser to any unreimbursed cost or expense or would prejudice the legal or commercial position of the Purchaser.
(e)If the Purchaser determines, in its sole discretion, acting reasonably, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has received additional Deliveries pursuant to Sections 14.2(a)(i) or 14.2(b) or additional payments pursuant to Section 14.2(a)(ii), it shall pay to the Seller an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of additional Deliveries made, or additional amounts paid, by the Seller under this Section 14.2 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Purchaser, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any net after-Tax interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). The Seller, upon the request of the Purchaser, agrees to repay to the Purchaser the amount paid by or to the Seller (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) if the Purchaser is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 14.2(d) shall not be construed to require the Purchaser to make available its Tax Returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Seller or any other Person, to arrange its affairs in any particular manner or to claim any available refund or reduction.
14.3Overdue Payments
Any payment or delivery not made by a Party on or by any applicable payment or delivery date referred to in this Agreement shall incur interest from the date that is five Business Days after the due date until such payment or delivery is paid or made in full at a per annum rate equal to the Term SOFR plus 4% from and after the due date, calculated daily and compounded and paid monthly in arrears. Whenever any interest is payable under this Agreement, interest shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days taking into account the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which interest is payable. For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), whenever any interest under this Agreement is calculated using a rate based on a number of days less than a full year, such rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (i) the applicable rate based on the period that is less than a calendar year, (ii) multiplied by the actual


− 105 −
number of days in the applicable calendar year, and (iii) divided by the number of days in the period that is less than a calendar year.
14.4Set-Off
Any dollar amount or Refined Gold or Refined Platinum owing by a Party to any other Party under this Agreement may be set-off against any dollar amount or Refined Gold or Refined Platinum owed to such Party by the other Party. Any amount of Refined Gold or Refined Platinum set-off and withheld against any non-payment by a Party shall be valued at the Gold Market Price or Platinum Market Price, as applicable, but determined as of the day that is two Business Days prior to the date that the set-off is applied and shall result in a reduction in an amount of Refined Gold or Refined Platinum otherwise to be delivered by that number of ounces equal to the dollar amount set-off divided by such Gold Market Price or Platinum Market Price, as applicable, as of such date.
