Issuer and the notional counterparty governed by
English law and with ZAR as the Termination
Currency and in respect of which, such Reference
CDS is the sole transaction under such ISDA Master
Agreement (the "Reference Master Agreement").

For the purposes of the Notes, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained within the
Programme Memorandum and the 2014 Credit Linked
Conditions, calculations or determinations required to
be made by the Calculation Agent in respect of the
Notes shall be calculated or determined by the
Calculation Agent in its sole and absolute discretion
by reference to the Reference CDS and shall be

27.
Effect of a Credit Event
If a Relevant Event Determination Date occurs in
respect of one or more of the Reference Entities
specified as per the Reference CDS, the Issuer's
obligation will be (subject to paragraph 29 (Swaps
Costs Difference) below), in each case to (i) make
payment of the relevant Auction Settlement Amount or
Cash Settlement Amount (as applicable) determined
in respect of the Reference CDS minus Swap Costs (if
any) and (ii) to redeem and delist an amount of the
Notes equal to the Reference Entity Nominal Amount
of the Notes. As such, the Auction Settlement
Amounts or Cash Settlement Amounts (as applicable)
determined under the Reference CDS wil become

DocuSign Envelope ID: FFB2BC48-9B72-4AC3-9E30-919A553CF7A4

payable to the Noteholders upon its determination
after the Issuer has deducted Swap Costs from such
amounts.

At the Maturity Date, the Issuer shall redeem the
Notes remaining (if any) by payment of the Final
Redemption Amount on the basis of the remaining
outstanding Aggregate Nominal Amount (if any) on
the Maturity Date.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
within the Programme Memorandum, all calculations
or determinations required to be made by the Issuer
or Calculation Agent in respect of the Notes shall be
calculated or determined by the Issuer or Calculation
Agent in their sole and absolute discretion by
reference to the Reference CDS. Any Auction
Settlement Amounts and\or Cash Settlement Amounts
determined by reference to the Reference CDS wil be
used to determine the Aggregate Nominal Amount of
the Notes outstanding at any time and to determine
any interest or redemption amounts due under the
Notes.

For the purposes of the Notes, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained within the
Reference CDS, calculations or determinations
required to be made by the Calculation Agent in
respect of the Reference CDS shall be calculated or
determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole and
absolute discretion, effective as of such determination,
and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
28.
Swap Costs
The definition of "Swap Costs" in Condition 15.47 of
the 2014 Credit Linked Conditions shall be deleted
and replaced with the following definition for the
purposes of the Notes:

"Swap Costs" means, in respect of the Notes, an
amount determined by the Calculation Agent in a
commercially reasonable manner equal to any
expense, loss or costs (in which case expressed as a
positive number) or gain (in which case expressed as
a negative number) incurred (or expected to be
incurred) by or on behalf of the Issuer as a result of its
terminating, liquidating, modifying, obtaining or re-
establishing any hedge term deposit, or funding
arrangements entered into by it (including with its
internal treasury function) specifically in connection

with the Notes.
29.
Swap Costs Difference
In the event that the Calculation Agent determines
following the occurrence of a Relevant Event
Determination Date in respect of one or more of the
Reference Entities, that the Swap Costs in respect of
any Relevant Event Determination Date are greater
than the relevant Auction Settlement Amount or Cash
Settlement Amount (as applicable) determined in
respect of the Reference CDS, no such Auction
Settlement Amount or Cash Settlement Amount (as
applicable) wil be required to be paid by the Issuer to
the Noteholder in respect of that Relevant Event
Determination Date and the Auction Settlement
Amount or Cash Settlement Amount (as applicable)
will be deemed to be zero. Instead, the Noteholder wil
be required to pay to the Issuer on the relevant
Auction Settlement Date or Cash Settlement Date (as
specified in the Reference CDS and as applicable), an
amount in ZAR equal to the difference between the
relevant Auction Settlement Amount or Cash
Settlement Amount (as applicable) and the Swaps
Costs in respect of the Relevant Event Determination
Date in question (the "Swap Costs Difference", and
each such payment owing by the Noteholder, a "Swap
Costs Difference Payment"), provided that the
Noteholders obligation to make any Swaps Costs
Difference Payment in accordance with this paragraph
shall never, when aggregated with other Swaps Costs
Difference Payments, exceed the Original Aggregate
Nominal Amount of the Notes.
