with the laws of the Republic of South Africa.
10.2 Mediation and arbitration. This clause is a separate, divisible agreement from the rest

misrepresentation, mistake, duress, undue influence, impossibility (initial or supervening),
illegality, immorality, absence of consensus, lack of authority or other cause relating in
substance to the rest of the Agreement and not to this clause 10. The Parties intend that any
such issue shall at all times be and remain subject to arbitration in terms of this clause 10;
10.2.2 remain in effect even if the Agreement terminates or is cancelled.
10.3 I agree and acknowledge that any claim or dispute arising from or related to this agreement
or the relationship of the parties in any respect thereto shall first be submitted to mediation,
and that engaging in such mediation is a condition precedent to bringing any claim against the
Park arising from or related to this agreement. If the Parties are unable to agree on a mediator
or to resolve any dispute by way of mediation within 14 days of any Party in writing requesting
that the dispute be resolved by mediation, then the dispute may be submitted to and decided by
arbitration.
10.4 Appointment of arbitrator. The Parties shall agree on the arbitrator who shall be an attorney

of which the Party concerned is aware and, if desired, suggesting suitable nominees for appointment
as arbitrator, and a copy shall be furnished to the other Parties who may, within 7 days, submit
written comments on the request to the addressee of the request with a copy to the first party.
10.5 Venue and period for completion of arbitration. The arbitration shall be held in Johannesburg
and the parties shall endeavour to ensure that it is completed within 90 days after notice requiring
the claim to be referred to arbitration is given.
10.6 Arbitration Act - rules. The arbitration shall be governed by the Arbitration Act, 1965, or
any replacement Act and shall take place in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of AFSA.
10.7 Application to court for urgent interim relief. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall
prohibit a Party from approaching any court of competent jurisdiction for urgent interim relief
pending determination of the dispute by arbitration. In this regard, the parties consent to the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of the High Court of South Africa, Gauteng Local Division, Johannesburg
for any proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.
11. Entire agreement. This Agreement contains all the provisions agreed on between the undersigned
and the Park with regard to the subject matter of the agreement and supersedes and novates in its
entirety any previous understandings or agreements between the undersigned and the Park in respect
thereof, and the undersigned waive their rights to rely on any alleged provision not expressly
contained in this Agreement.
12. Severability. Any provision in this Agreement which is or may become illegal, invalid or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction affected by this Agreement shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability and shall be treated as
having not been written (ie pro non scripto) and severed from the balance of this Agreement,
without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or
enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. I understand and agree that this Agreement
is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by the laws of the Republic of South Africa and
that if any portion thereof is held to be invalid by a competent court, the remainder of the agreement
will remain in effect and will continue in full legal force and effect.

understand this entire agreement and acknowledge that I have been free to secure independent legal
advice as to the nature and effect of each provision of this Agreement and that I have either taken
such independent legal advice or have dispensed with the necessity of doing so. I further agree that
each provision of this Agreement is fair and reasonable in all the circumstances.
