1. THE DEPOSIT AGREEMENT.
This American Depositary
Receipt is one of an issue (herein called "Receipts"), all issued and to be issued upon the terms and conditions set
forth in the deposit agreement, dated as of August 15, 2014 (herein called the "Deposit Agreement"), by and among the
Company, the Depositary, and all Owners and Holders from time to time of American Depositary Shares issued thereunder, each of
whom by accepting American Depositary Shares agrees to become a party thereto and become bound by all the terms and conditions
thereof. The Deposit Agreement sets forth the rights of Owners and Holders and the rights and duties of the Depositary in respect
of the Shares deposited thereunder and any and all other securities, property and cash from time to time received in respect of
such Shares and held thereunder (such Shares, securities, property, and cash are herein called "Deposited Securities").
Copies of the Deposit Agreement are on file at the Depositary's Corporate Trust Office in New York City and at the office of the
Custodian.
The statements made
on the face and reverse of this Receipt are summaries of certain provisions of the Deposit Agreement and are qualified by and subject
to the detailed provisions of the Deposit Agreement, to which reference is hereby made. Capitalized terms not defined herein and
the terms "deliver" and "surrender" shall have the meanings set forth in the Deposit Agreement.
2. SURRENDER OF RECEIPTS AND WITHDRAWAL
OF SHARES.
Upon surrender at
the Corporate Trust Office of the Depositary of this Receipt, and upon payment of the fee of the Depositary provided in this Receipt,
and subject to the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement, the Owner of those American Depositary Shares is entitled to
delivery, to him, her or it or as instructed, of the amount of Deposited Securities at the time represented by those American Depositary
Shares for which this Receipt is issued. Such delivery will be made at the option of the Owner hereof, either at the office of
the Custodian or at the Corporate Trust Office of the Depositary or at such other place as may be designated by such Owner, provided
that the forwarding of certificates for Shares or other Deposited Securities for such delivery at the Corporate Trust Office of
the Depositary shall be at the risk and expense of the Owner hereof.
3. TRANSFERS, SPLIT-UPS, AND COMBINATIONS
OF RECEIPTS.
Transfers of American
Depositary Shares shall, subject to the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement be registered on the books of the Depositary
upon (i) in the case of certificated American Depositary Shares, surrender of the Receipt evidencing those American Depositary
Shares, by the Owner in person or by a duly authorized attorney, properly endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer
or (ii) in the case of uncertificated American Depositary Shares, receipt from the Owner of a proper instruction (including, for
the avoidance of doubt, instructions through DRS and Profile as provided in Section 2.11 of the Deposit Agreement), and, in either
case, duly stamped as may be required by the laws of the State of New York and of the United States of America and upon payment
of funds for any applicable transfer taxes and the expenses of the Depositary and upon compliance with such regulations, if any,
as the Depositary may establish for such purpose. This Receipt may be split into other such Receipts, or may be combined with other
such Receipts into one Receipt, evidencing the same aggregate number of American Depositary Shares as the Receipt or Receipts surrendered.
The Depositary, upon surrender of a Receipt for the purpose of exchanging for uncertificated American Depositary Shares, shall
cancel that Receipt and send the Owner a statement confirming that the Owner is the Owner of the same number of uncertificated
American Depositary Shares that the surrendered Receipt evidenced. The Depositary, upon receipt of a proper instruction (including,
for the avoidance of doubt, instructions through DRS and Profile as provided in Section 2.11 of the Deposit Agreement) from the
Owner of uncertificated American Depositary Shares for the purpose of exchanging for certificated American Depositary Shares, shall
execute and deliver to the Owner a Receipt evidencing the same number of certificated American Depositary Shares. As a condition
precedent to the delivery, registration of transfer, or surrender of any American Depositary Shares or split-up or combination
of any Receipt or withdrawal of any Deposited Securities, the Depositary, the Custodian, or Registrar may require payment from
the depositor of the Shares or the presenter of the Receipt or instruction for registration of transfer or surrender of American
Depositary Shares not evidenced by a Receipt of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any tax or other governmental charge and any
stock transfer or registration fee with respect thereto (including any such tax or charge and fee with respect to Shares being
deposited or withdrawn) and payment of any applicable fees as provided in the Deposit Agreement, may require (a) the production
of proof satisfactory to it as to the identity and genuineness of any signature, (b) compliance with any laws or regulations, relating
to depositary receipts in general or to the withdrawal or sale of Deposited Securities, (c) delivery of such certificates as the
Company may from time to time specify in writing to the Depositary to assure compliance with the Securities Act of 1933 and the
rules and regulations thereunder and (d) compliance with such reasonable procedures, if any, as the Depositary may establish consistent
with the provisions of the Deposit Agreement or this Receipt, including, without limitation, this Article 3.
The delivery of American
Depositary Shares against deposit of Shares generally or against deposit of particular Shares may be suspended, or the transfer
of American Depositary Shares in particular instances may be refused, or the registration of transfer of outstanding American Depositary
Shares generally may be suspended, during any period when the transfer books of the Depositary are closed, or if any such action
is deemed necessary or advisable by the Depositary or the Company at any time or from time to time because of any requirement of
law or of any government or governmental body or commission, or under any provision of the Deposit Agreement or this Receipt, or
for any other reason, subject to the provisions of the following sentence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Deposit
Agreement or this Receipt, the surrender of outstanding American Depositary Shares and withdrawal of Deposited Securities may not
be suspended subject only to (i) temporary delays caused by closing the transfer books of the Depositary or the Company or the
Foreign Registrar, if applicable, or the deposit of Shares in connection with voting at a shareholders' meeting, or the payment
of dividends, (ii) the payment of fees, taxes and similar charges, and (iii) compliance with any U.S. or foreign laws or governmental
regulations relating to the American Depositary Shares or to the withdrawal of the Deposited Securities. Without limitation of
the foregoing, the Depositary shall not knowingly accept for deposit under the Deposit Agreement any Shares which would be required
to be registered under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 for public offer and sale in the United States, unless a registration
statement is in effect as to such Shares for such offer and sale.
4. LIABILITY OF OWNER FOR TAXES.
If any tax or other
governmental charge shall become payable with respect to any American Depositary Shares or any Deposited Securities represented
by any American Depositary Shares, such tax or other governmental charge shall be payable by the Owner to the Depositary. The Depositary
may, and upon receipt of instructions from the Company shall, refuse to register any transfer of those American Depositary Shares
or any withdrawal of Deposited Securities represented by those American Depositary Shares until such payment is made, and may withhold
any dividends or other distributions, or may sell for the account of the Owner any part or all of the Deposited Securities represented
by those American Depositary Shares, and may apply such dividends or other distributions or the proceeds of any such sale in payment
of such tax or other governmental charge and the Owner shall remain liable for any deficiency.
5. WARRANTIES ON DEPOSIT OF SHARES.
Every person depositing
Shares under the Deposit Agreement shall be deemed thereby to represent and warrant, that such Shares and proper evidence of title
therefor, if applicable, are validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and free of any preemptive rights of the holders of outstanding
Shares and that the person making such deposit is duly authorized to do so. Every such person shall also be deemed to represent
that the deposit of such Shares and the sale of American Depositary Shares representing such Shares by that person are not restricted
under the Securities Act of 1933. Such representations and warranties shall survive the deposit of Shares and delivery of American
Depositary Shares.
6. FILING PROOFS, CERTIFICATES, AND
OTHER INFORMATION.
Any person presenting
Shares for deposit or any Owner or Holder may be required from time to time to file with the Depositary or the Custodian such proof
of citizenship or residence, exchange control approval, evidence of the number of Shares beneficially owned or any other matters
necessary or appropriate to evidence compliance with the laws of the Republic of Namibia, the constitution or similar document
of the Company and exchange control regulations, as indicated to the Depositary by the Company, or such information relating to
the registration on the books of the Company or the Foreign Registrar, if applicable, to execute such certificates and to make
such representations and warranties, as the Depositary may deem necessary or proper or as the Company may reasonably instruct the
Depositary in writing to require. The Depositary may, and at the reasonable written request of the Company shall, withhold the
delivery or registration of transfer of any American Depositary Shares or the distribution of any dividend or sale or distribution
of rights or of the proceeds thereof or the delivery of any Deposited Securities until such proof or other information is filed
or such certificates are executed or such representations and warranties made. The Depositary shall in a timely manner provide
the Company, upon the Company’s reasonable written request and at its expense, with copies of any information or other material
which it receives pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Deposit Agreement, to the extent that disclosure is permitted under applicable
law. Each Owner and Holder agrees to provide any information requested by the Company or the Depositary pursuant to this Article
6. No Share shall be accepted for deposit unless accompanied by evidence satisfactory to the Depositary that any necessary approval
has been granted by any governmental body in the Republic of Namibia, if any, which is then performing the function of the regulation
of currency exchange.
7. CHARGES OF DEPOSITARY.
The following charges
shall be incurred by any party depositing or withdrawing Shares or by any party surrendering American Depositary Shares or to whom
American Depositary Shares are issued (including, without limitation, issuance pursuant to a stock dividend or stock split declared
by the Company or an exchange of stock regarding the American Depositary Shares or Deposited Securities or a delivery of American
Depositary Shares pursuant to Section 4.03 of the Deposit Agreement), or by Owners, as applicable: (1) taxes and other governmental
charges, (2) such registration fees as may from time to time be in effect for the registration of transfers of Shares generally
on the Share register of the Company or Foreign Registrar and applicable to transfers of Shares to or from the name of the Depositary
or its nominee or the Custodian or its nominee on the making of deposits or withdrawals under the terms of the Deposit Agreement,
(3) such cable, telex and facsimile transmission expenses as are expressly provided in the Deposit Agreement, (4) such expenses
as are incurred by the Depositary in the conversion of foreign currency pursuant to Section 4.05 of the Deposit Agreement, (5)

or 6.02 of the Deposit Agreement, (6) a fee of $.05 or less per American Depositary Share (or portion thereof) for any cash distribution
made pursuant to the Deposit Agreement, including, but not limited to Sections 4.01 through 4.04 of the Deposit Agreement, (7)
a fee for the distribution of securities pursuant to Section 4.02 of the Deposit Agreement, such fee being in an amount equal to
the fee for the execution and delivery of American Depositary Shares referred to above which would have been charged as a result
of the deposit of such securities (for purposes of this clause 7 treating all such securities as if they were Shares) but which
securities are instead distributed by the Depositary to Owners, (8) in addition to any fee charged under clause 6, a fee of $.05
or less per American Depositary Share (or portion thereof) per annum for depositary services, which will be payable as provided
in clause 9 below and (9) any other charges payable by the Depositary, any of the Depositary's agents, including the Custodian,
or the agents of the Depositary's agents in connection with the servicing of Shares or other Deposited Securities (which charge
shall be assessed against Owners as of the date or dates set by the Depositary in accordance with Section 4.06 of the Deposit Agreement
and shall be payable at the sole discretion of the Depositary by billing such Owners for such charge or by deducting such charge
from one or more cash dividends or other cash distributions).
The Depositary,
subject to Article 8 hereof, may own and deal in any class of securities of the Company and its affiliates and in American Depositary
Shares.
From time to
time, the Depositary may make payments to the Company to reimburse and / or share revenue from the fees collected from Holders,
or waive fees and expenses for services provided, generally relating to costs and expenses arising out of establishment and maintenance
of the American Depositary Shares program. In performing its duties under the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary may use brokers,
dealers or other service providers that are affiliates of the Depositary.
8. PRE-RELEASE OF RECEIPTS.
Notwithstanding
Section 2.03 of the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary may deliver American Depositary Shares prior to the receipt of Shares pursuant
to Section 2.02 of the Deposit Agreement (“Pre-Release of American Depositary Shares”). The Depositary may, pursuant
to Section 2.05 of the Deposit Agreement, deliver Shares upon the surrender of American Depositary Shares that have been Pre-Released,
whether or not such cancellation is prior to the termination of such Pre-Release or the Depositary knows that such American Depositary
Shares have been Pre-Released. The Depositary may receive American Depositary Shares in lieu of Shares in satisfaction of a Pre-Release.
Each Pre-Release will be (a) preceded or accompanied by a written representation from the person to whom American Depositary Shares
or Shares are to be delivered, that such person, or its customer, owns the Shares or American Depositary Shares to be remitted,
as the case may be, (b) at all times fully collateralized with cash or such other collateral as the Depositary deems appropriate,
(c) terminable by the Depositary on not more than five (5) business days notice, and (d) subject
to such further indemnities and credit regulations as the Depositary deems appropriate. The number of Shares represented by American
Depositary Shares which are outstanding at any time as a result of Pre-Release will not normally exceed thirty percent (30%) of
the Shares deposited under the Deposit Agreement; provided, however, that the Depositary reserves the right to change
or disregard such limit from time to time as it deems appropriate.
The Depositary may
retain for its own account any compensation received by it in connection with the foregoing.
9. TITLE TO RECEIPTS.
It is a condition
of this Receipt and every successive Owner and Holder of this Receipt by accepting or holding the same consents and agrees that
when properly endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer, shall be transferable as certificated registered securities
under the laws of New York. American Depositary Shares not evidenced by Receipts shall be transferable as uncertificated registered
securities under the laws of New York. The Company and the Depositary, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, may treat the
Owner of American Depositary Shares as the absolute owner thereof for the purpose of determining the person entitled to distribution
of dividends or other distributions or to any notice provided for in the Deposit Agreement and for all other purposes, and neither
the Depositary nor the Company shall have any obligation or be subject to any liability under the Deposit Agreement to any Holder
of American Depositary Shares unless such Holder is the Owner thereof.
10. VALIDITY OF RECEIPT.
This Receipt shall
not be entitled to any benefits under the Deposit Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless this Receipt shall
have been executed by the Depositary by the manual signature of a duly authorized signatory of the Depositary; provided,
however, that such signature may be a facsimile if a Registrar for the Receipts shall have been appointed and such Receipts
are countersigned by the manual signature of a duly authorized officer of the Registrar.
11. REPORTS; INSPECTION OF TRANSFER
BOOKS.
The Company publishes
information in English required to maintain the exemption from registration under Rule 12g3-2(b) under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 on its Internet web site or through an electronic information delivery system generally available to the public in
its primary trading market. The Company's Internet web site address is www.tgi.na
The Depositary will
make available for inspection by Owners at its Corporate Trust Office any reports, notices and other communications, including
any proxy soliciting material, received from the Company which are both (a) received by the Depositary as the holder of the
Deposited Securities and (b) made generally available to the holders of such Deposited Securities by the Company. The Depositary
will also, upon written request by the Company, send to Owners copies of such reports when furnished by the Company pursuant to
the Deposit Agreement.
The Depositary will
keep books, at its Corporate Trust Office, for the registration of American Depositary Shares and transfers of American Depositary
Shares which at all reasonable times shall be open for inspection by the Owners, provided that such inspection shall not
be for the purpose of communicating with Owners in the interest of a business or object other than the business of the Company
or a matter related to the Deposit Agreement or the American Depositary Shares.
12. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS.
Whenever the Depositary
receives any cash dividend or other cash distribution on any Deposited Securities, the Depositary will, if at the time of receipt
thereof any amounts received in a foreign currency can in the judgment of the Depositary be converted on a reasonable basis into
United States Dollars transferable to the United States, and subject to the Deposit Agreement, convert such dividend or distribution
into dollars and will distribute the amount thus received (net of the fees and expenses of the Depositary as provided in Article 7
hereof and Section 5.09 of the Deposit Agreement, if applicable) to the Owners entitled thereto; provided, however,
that in the event that the Company or the Depositary is required to withhold and does withhold from any cash dividend or other
cash distribution in respect of any Deposited Securities an amount on account of taxes or other governmental charges, the amount
distributed to the Owners of the American Depositary Shares representing such Deposited Securities shall be reduced accordingly.
Subject to the provisions
of Section 4.11 and 5.09 of the Deposit Agreement, whenever the Depositary receives any distribution other than a distribution
described in Section 4.01, 4.03 or 4.04 of the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary will cause the securities or property received
by it to be distributed to the Owners entitled thereto, after deduction or upon payment of any fees and expenses of the Depositary
or any taxes or other governmental charges, in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares representing such Deposited
Securities held by them respectively, in any manner that the Depositary may deem equitable and practicable for accomplishing such
distribution; provided, however, that if in the opinion of the Depositary such distribution cannot be made proportionately
among the Owners of Receipts entitled thereto, or if for any other reason the Depositary deems such distribution not to be feasible,
the Depositary may adopt such method as it may deem equitable and practicable for the purpose of effecting such distribution, including,
but not limited to, the public or private sale of the securities or property thus received, or any part thereof, and the net proceeds
of any such sale (net of the fees and expenses of the Depositary as provided in Article 7 hereof and Section 5.09 of
the Deposit Agreement) will be distributed by the Depositary to the Owners of Receipts entitled thereto all in the manner and subject
to the conditions described in Section 4.01 of the Deposit Agreement. The Depositary may sell, by public or private sale, an amount
of securities or other property it would otherwise distribute under this Article that is sufficient to pay its fees and expenses
in respect of that distribution.
If any distribution
consists of a dividend in, or free distribution of, Shares, the Depositary may, and shall, subject to the following sentence, if
the Company shall so request, deliver to the Owners entitled thereto, an aggregate number of American Depositary Shares representing
the amount of Shares received as such dividend or free distribution, subject to the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement
with respect to the deposit of Shares and after deduction or upon issuance of American Depositary Shares, including the withholding
of any tax or other governmental charge as provided in Section 4.11 of the Deposit Agreement and the payment of the fees and expenses
of the Depositary as provided in Article 7 hereof and Section 5.09 of the Deposit Agreement (and the Depositary may sell, by public
or private sale, an amount of Shares received sufficient to pay its fees and expenses in respect of that distribution). The Depositary
may withhold any such distribution of Receipts if it has not received satisfactory assurances from the Company that such distribution
does not require registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or is exempt from registration under the provisions of such Act.
In lieu of delivering fractional American Depositary Shares in any such case, the Depositary will sell the amount of Shares represented
by the aggregate of such fractions and distribute the net proceeds, all in the manner and subject to the conditions described in
Section 4.01of the Deposit Agreement. If additional American Depositary Shares are not so delivered, each American Depositary Share
shall thenceforth also represent the additional Shares distributed upon the Deposited Securities represented thereby.
In the event that
the Depositary determines that any distribution in property (including Shares and rights to subscribe therefor) is subject to any
tax or other governmental charge which the Depositary is obligated to withhold, the Depositary may by public or private sale dispose
of all or a portion of such property (including Shares and rights to subscribe therefor) in such amounts and in such manner as
the Depositary deems necessary and practicable to pay any such taxes or charges, and the Depositary shall distribute the net proceeds
of any such sale after deduction of such taxes or charges to the Owners of Receipts entitled thereto.
The Depositary shall
forward to the Company or its agent such information from its records as the Company may reasonably request to enable the Company
or its agent to file necessary reports with governmental agencies.
13. RIGHTS.
In the event that
the Company shall offer or cause to be offered to the holders of any Deposited Securities any rights to subscribe for additional
Shares or any rights of any other nature, the Depositary, after consultation with the Company, to the extent practicable, shall
have discretion as to the procedure to be followed in making such rights available to any Owners or in disposing of such rights
on behalf of any Owners and making the net proceeds available to such Owners or, if by the terms of such rights offering or for
any other reason, the Depositary may not either make such rights available to any Owners or dispose of such rights and make the
net proceeds available to such Owners, then the Depositary shall allow the rights to lapse. If at the time of the offering of any
rights the Depositary determines in its discretion that it is lawful and feasible to make such rights available to all or certain
Owners but not to other Owners, the Depositary may distribute to any Owner to whom it determines the distribution to be lawful
and feasible, in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares held by such Owner, warrants or other instruments therefor
in such form as it deems appropriate.
In circumstances in
which rights would otherwise not be distributed, if an Owner requests the distribution of warrants or other instruments in order
to exercise the rights allocable to the American Depositary Shares of such Owner under the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary will
make such rights available to such Owner upon written notice from the Company to the Depositary that (a) the Company has elected
in its sole discretion to permit such rights to be exercised and (b) such Owner has executed such documents as the Company has
determined in its sole discretion are reasonably required under applicable law.
If the Depositary
has distributed warrants or other instruments for rights to all or certain Owners, then upon instruction from such an Owner pursuant
to such warrants or other instruments to the Depositary from such Owner to exercise such rights, upon payment by such Owner to
the Depositary for the account of such Owner of an amount equal to the purchase price of the Shares to be received upon the exercise
of the rights, and upon payment of the fees and expenses of the Depositary and any other charges as set forth in such warrants
or other instruments, the Depositary shall, on behalf of such Owner, exercise the rights and purchase the Shares, and the Company
shall cause the Shares so purchased to be delivered to the Depositary on behalf of such Owner. As agent for such Owner, the Depositary
will cause the Shares so purchased to be deposited pursuant to Section 2.02 of the Deposit Agreement, and shall, pursuant to Section
2.03 of the Deposit Agreement, deliver American Depositary Shares to such Owner. In the case of a distribution pursuant to the
second paragraph of this Article 13, such deposit shall be made, and Deposited Securities shall be delivered, under depositary
arrangements which provide for issuance of Deposited Securities subject to the appropriate restrictions on sale, deposit, cancellation,
and transfer under such laws.
If the Depositary
determines in its discretion that it is not lawful and feasible to make such rights available to all or certain Owners, it may
sell the rights, warrants or other instruments in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares held by the Owners to
whom it has determined it may not lawfully or feasibly make such rights available, and allocate the net proceeds of such sales
(net of the fees and expenses of the Depositary as provided in Section 5.09 of the Deposit Agreement and all taxes and governmental
charges payable in connection with such rights and subject to the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement) for the account
of such Owners otherwise entitled to such rights, warrants or other instruments, upon an averaged or other practical basis without
regard to any distinctions among such Owners because of exchange restrictions or the date of delivery of any American Depositary
Shares or otherwise.
The Depositary will
not offer rights to Owners unless both the rights and the securities to which such rights relate are either exempt from registration
under the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to a distribution to all Owners or are registered under the provisions of such Act;
provided, that nothing in the Deposit Agreement shall create any obligation on the part of the Company to file a registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to such rights or underlying securities or to endeavor to have such a registration
statement declared effective or otherwise to register such rights or securities under any other applicable laws for any purpose.
If an Owner requests the distribution of warrants or other instruments, notwithstanding that there has been no such registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, the Depositary shall not effect such distribution unless it has received an opinion from recognized
United States counsel for the Company upon which the Depositary may rely that such distribution to such Owner is exempt from such
registration.
The Depositary shall
not be responsible for any failure to determine that it may be lawful or feasible to make such rights available to Owners in general
or any Owner in particular.
14. CONVERSION OF FOREIGN CURRENCY.
Whenever the Depositary
or the Custodian shall receive foreign currency, by way of dividends or other distributions or the net proceeds from the sale of
securities, property or rights, and if at the time of the receipt thereof the foreign currency so received can in the judgment
of the Depositary be converted on a reasonable basis into Dollars and the resulting Dollars transferred to the United States, the
Depositary shall convert or cause to be converted, by sale or in any other manner that it may determine, such foreign currency
into Dollars, and such Dollars shall be distributed to the Owners entitled thereto or, if the Depositary shall have distributed
any warrants or other instruments which entitle the holders thereof to such Dollars, then to the holders of such warrants and/or
instruments upon surrender thereof for cancellation. Such distribution may be made upon an averaged or other practicable basis
without regard to any distinctions among Owners on account of exchange restrictions, the date of delivery of any American Depositary
Shares or otherwise and shall be net of any expenses of conversion into Dollars incurred by the Depositary as provided in Section 5.09
of the Deposit Agreement.
If such conversion
or distribution can be effected only with the approval or license of any government or agency thereof, the Depositary shall file
such application for approval or license, if any, as it may deem desirable; provided, however, that in no event shall
the Company be required to make any such filing.
If at any time the
Depositary shall determine that in its judgment any foreign currency received by the Depositary or the Custodian is not convertible
on a reasonable basis into Dollars transferable to the United States, or if any approval or license of any government or agency
thereof which is required for such conversion is denied or in the opinion of the Depositary is not obtainable, or if any such approval
or license is not obtained within a reasonable period as determined by the Depositary, the Depositary may distribute the foreign
currency (or an appropriate document evidencing the right to receive such foreign currency) received by the Depositary to, or in
its discretion may hold such foreign currency uninvested and without liability for interest thereon for the respective accounts
of, the Owners entitled to receive the same.
If any such conversion
of foreign currency, in whole or in part, cannot be effected for distribution to some of the Owners entitled thereto, the Depositary
may in its discretion make such conversion and distribution in Dollars to the extent permissible to the Owners entitled thereto
and may distribute the balance of the foreign currency received by the Depositary to, or hold such balance uninvested and without
liability for interest thereon for the respective accounts of, the Owners entitled thereto.
15. RECORD DATES.
Whenever any cash
dividend or other cash distribution shall become payable or any distribution other than cash shall be made, or whenever rights
shall be issued with respect to the Deposited Securities, or whenever the Depositary shall receive notice of any meeting of holders
of Shares or other Deposited Securities, or whenever for any reason the Depositary causes a change in the number of Shares that
are represented by each American Depositary Share, or whenever the Depositary shall find it reasonably necessary, the Depositary
shall fix a record date which shall insofar as is reasonably practicable, be as close as possible to the record date established
by the Company in respect of the Shares or other Deposited Securities (if applicable) (a) for the determination of the Owners who
shall be (i) entitled to receive such dividend, distribution or rights or the net proceeds of the sale thereof, (ii) entitled to
give instructions for the exercise of voting rights at any such meeting or (iii) responsible for any fee or charge assessed by
the Depositary pursuant to the Deposit Agreement, or (b) on or after which each American Depositary Share will represent the
changed number of Shares, subject to the provisions of the Deposit Agreement.
16. VOTING OF DEPOSITED SECURITIES.
Upon receipt of notice
of any meeting of holders of Shares or other Deposited Securities, if requested in writing by the Company, the Depositary shall,
as soon as practicable thereafter, mail to the Owners a notice, the form of which notice shall be at the discretion of the Depositary
(unless otherwise advised to the Depositary by the Company in writing), which shall contain (a) such information as is contained
in such notice of meeting received by the Depositary from the Company, (b) a statement that the Owners as of the close of
business on a specified record date will be entitled, subject to any applicable provision of Namibian law and of the constitution
or similar document of the Company and any other provisions governing Deposited Securities, to instruct the Depositary as to the
exercise of the voting rights, if any, pertaining to the amount of Shares or other Deposited Securities represented by their respective
American Depositary Shares and (c) a statement as to the manner in which such instructions may be given including an express indication
that instructions may be given (or be deemed given in accordance with the last sentence of this paragraph if no instruction is
received) to the Depositary to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Company. Upon the written request of an
Owner on such record date, received on or before the date established by the Depositary for such purpose, the Depositary shall
endeavor, insofar as practicable, to vote or cause to be voted the amount of Shares or other Deposited Securities represented by
the American Depositary Shares in accordance with the instructions set forth in such request. The Depositary shall not vote or
attempt to exercise the right to vote that attaches to the Shares or other Deposited Securities, other than in accordance with
such instructions or deemed instructions. If (i) the Company has requested the Depositary to send a notice under this paragraph
and has provided the Depositary not less than 30 days notice of the meeting and details of the matter to be voted upon and (ii)
no instructions are received by the Depositary from an Owner with respect to Deposited Securities represented by American Depositary
Shares of that Owner on or before the date established by the Depositary for such purpose, the Depositary shall deem such Owner
to have instructed the Depositary to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Company with respect to such Deposited
Securities and the Depositary shall, only if instructed by the Company in writing to do so, give a discretionary proxy to a person
designated by the Company to vote such Deposited Securities, provided, that no such instruction shall be deemed given and
no such discretionary proxy shall be given with respect to any matter as to which the Company informs the Depositary (and the Company
agrees to provide such information as promptly as practicable in writing, if applicable) that (x) substantial opposition exists
or (y) such matter materially and adversely affects the rights of holders of Shares.
There can be no assurance
that Owners generally or any Owner in particular will receive the notice described in the preceding paragraph sufficiently prior
to the instruction cut-off date to ensure that the Depositary will vote the Shares or Deposited Securities in accordance with the
provisions set forth in the preceding paragraph.
The Company shall
endeavor to give the Depositary notice of any meeting and details concerning the matters to be voted upon as far in advance as
practicable prior to the meeting date.
17. CHANGES AFFECTING DEPOSITED SECURITIES.
Upon any split-up,
consolidation, or any other reclassification of Deposited Securities, or upon any recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation,
or sale of assets affecting the Company or to which it is a party, or upon the redemption or cancellation by the Company of the
Deposited Securities, any securities, cash or property which shall be received by the Depositary or a Custodian in exchange for,
in conversion of, in lieu of or in respect of Deposited Securities shall, if permitted by applicable law, be treated as new Deposited
Securities under the Deposit Agreement, and American Depositary Shares shall thenceforth represent, in addition to the existing
Deposited Securities, the right to receive the new Deposited Securities so received, unless additional Receipts are delivered pursuant
to the following sentence. In any such case the Depositary may, and shall if the Company shall so reasonably request, execute and
deliver additional Receipts as in the case of a dividend in Shares, or call for the surrender of outstanding Receipts to be exchanged
for new Receipts specifically describing such new Deposited Securities.
Immediately upon the
occurrence of any such split-up, consolidation or any other reclassification covered by this Article 17 and Section 4.08 of
the Deposit Agreement in respect of Deposited Securities, the Company shall notify the Depositary in writing of such occurrence
and as soon as practicable after receipt of such notice from the Company, may instruct the Depositary to give notice thereof, at
the Company's expense, to Owners in accordance with Section 5.06 of the Deposit Agreement.
18. LIABILITY OF THE COMPANY AND
DEPOSITARY.
Neither the Depositary
nor the Company nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliates shall incur any liability to any
Owner or Holder, (i) if by reason of any provision of any present or future law or regulation of the United States, the Republic
of Namibia or any other country, or of any governmental or regulatory authority or stock exchange or automated quotation system,
or by reason of any provision, present or future, of the constitution or similar document of the Company, or by reason of any provision
of any securities issued or distributed by the Company, or any offering or distribution thereof, or by reason of any act of God
or war or terrorism or other circumstances beyond its control, the Depositary or the Company (or any of their respective directors,
officers, employees, agents or affiliates) shall be prevented, delayed or forbidden from or be subject to any civil or criminal
penalty on account of doing or performing any act or thing which by the terms of the Deposit Agreement or the Deposited Securities
it is provided shall be done or performed, (ii) by reason of any non-performance or delay, caused as aforesaid, in the performance
of any act or thing which by the terms of the Deposit Agreement it is provided shall or may be done or performed, (iii) by reason
of any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any discretion provided for in the Deposit Agreement, (iv) for the inability of any
Owner or Holder to benefit from any distribution, offering, right or other benefit which is made available to holders of Deposited
Securities but is not, under the terms of the Deposit Agreement, made available to Owners or holders, or (v) for any special, consequential
or punitive damages for any breach of the terms of the Deposit Agreement. Where, by the terms of a distribution pursuant to Section 4.01,
4.02 or 4.03 of the Deposit Agreement, or an offering or distribution pursuant to Section 4.04 of the Deposit Agreement, such
distribution or offering may not be made available to Owners of Receipts, and the Depositary may not dispose of such distribution
or offering on behalf of such Owners and make the net proceeds available to such Owners, then the Depositary shall not make such
distribution or offering, and shall allow any rights, if applicable, to lapse. Neither the Company nor the Depositary (nor any
of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliates) assume any obligation or shall be subject to any liability
under the Deposit Agreement to Owners or Holders, except that they agree to perform their obligations specifically set forth in
the Deposit Agreement without negligence or bad faith. The Depositary shall not be subject to any liability with respect to the
validity or worth of the Deposited Securities. Neither the Depositary nor the Company (nor any of their respective directors, officers,
employees, agents or affiliates) shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any action, suit, or other proceeding
in respect of any Deposited Securities or in respect of the American Depositary Shares, on behalf of any Owner or Holder or any
other person. Neither the Depositary nor the Company (nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliates)
shall be liable for any action or nonaction by it in reliance upon the advice of or information from legal counsel, accountants,
any person presenting Shares for deposit, any Owner or Holder, or any other person believed by it in good faith to be competent
to give such advice or information. Each of the Depositary, the Company and their directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling
persons may rely and shall be protected in acting upon any written notice, request, direction or other document believed by such
person to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Depositary shall not be responsible
for any failure to carry out any instructions to vote any of the Deposited Securities or for the manner in which any such vote
is cast or the effect of any such vote, provided that any such action or nonaction is in good faith. The Depositary shall
not be liable for any acts or omissions made by a successor depositary whether in connection with a previous act or omission of
the Depositary or in connection with a matter arising wholly after the removal or resignation of the Depositary, provided
that in connection with the issue out of which such potential liability arises, the Depositary performed its obligations without
negligence or bad faith while it acted as Depositary. The Depositary shall not be liable for the acts or omissions made by any
securities depository, clearing agency or settlement system in the Republic of Namibia in connection with or arising out of book-entry
settlement of Deposited Securities or otherwise. The Company agrees to indemnify the Depositary, its directors, officers, employees,
agents and affiliates and any Custodian against, and hold each of them harmless from, any liability or expense (including, but
not limited to any fees and expenses incurred in seeking, enforcing or collecting such indemnity and the reasonable fees and expenses
of counsel) which may arise out of or in connection with (a) any registration with the Commission of American Depositary Shares
or Deposited Securities or the offer or sale thereof in the United States or (b) acts performed or omitted, pursuant to the provisions
of or in connection with the Deposit Agreement and of the Receipts, as the same may be amended, modified or supplemented from time
to time, (i) by either the Depositary or a Custodian or their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and affiliates,
except for any liability or expense arising out of the negligence or bad faith of either of them, or (ii) by the Company or any
of its directors, officers, employees, agents and affiliates. No disclaimer of liability under the Securities Act of 1933 is intended
by any provision of the Deposit Agreement.

RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL OF THE DEPOSITARY; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR CUSTODIAN.
|
The Depositary may
at any time resign as Depositary under the Deposit Agreement by written notice of its election to do so delivered to the Company,
such resignation to take effect upon the appointment of a successor depositary and its acceptance of such appointment as provided
in the Deposit Agreement. The Depositary may at any time be removed by the Company by 120 days prior written notice of such removal,
to become effective upon the later of (i) the 120th day after delivery of the notice to the Depositary and (ii) the
appointment of a successor depositary and its acceptance of such appointment as provided in the Deposit Agreement. The Depositary
in its discretion may appoint a substitute or additional custodian or custodians.
20. AMENDMENT.
The form of the Receipts
and any provisions of the Deposit Agreement may at any time and from time to time be amended by agreement between the Company and
the Depositary without the consent of Owners or Holders in any respect which they may deem necessary or desirable. Any amendment
which shall impose or increase any fees or charges (other than taxes and other governmental charges, registration fees, cable,
telex or facsimile transmission costs, delivery costs or other such expenses), or which shall otherwise prejudice any substantial
existing right of Owners, shall, however, not become effective as to outstanding American Depositary Shares until the expiration
of thirty (30) days after notice of such amendment shall have been given to the Owners of outstanding American Depositary Shares.
Every Owner and Holder of American Depositary Shares, at the time any amendment so becomes effective, shall be deemed, by continuing
to hold such American Depositary Shares or any interest therein, to consent and agree to such amendment and to be bound by the
Deposit Agreement as amended thereby. In no event shall any amendment impair the right of the Owner to surrender American Depositary
Shares and receive therefor the Deposited Securities represented thereby, except in order to comply with mandatory provisions of
applicable law.
21. TERMINATION OF DEPOSIT AGREEMENT.
The Company may terminate
the Deposit Agreement by instructing the Depositary to mail notice of termination to the Owners of all American Depositary Shares
then outstanding at least 30 days prior to the termination date included in such notice. The Depositary may likewise terminate
the Deposit Agreement, if at any time 60 days shall have expired after the Depositary delivered to the Company a written resignation
notice and if a successor depositary shall not have been appointed and accepted its appointment as provided in the Deposit Agreement;
in such case the Depositary shall mail a notice of termination to the Owners of all American Depositary Shares then outstanding
at least 30 days prior to the termination date. On and after the date of termination, the Owner of American Depositary Shares will,
upon (a) surrender of such American Depositary Shares, (b) payment of the fee of the Depositary for the surrender of American Depositary
Shares referred to in Section 2.05, and (c) payment of any applicable taxes or governmental charges, be entitled to delivery, to
him, her or it or upon his, her or its order, of the amount of Deposited Securities represented by those American Depositary Shares.
If any American Depositary Shares shall remain outstanding after the date of termination, the Depositary thereafter shall discontinue
the registration of transfers of American Depositary Shares, shall suspend the distribution of dividends to the Owners thereof,
shall not accept deposits of Shares, and shall not give any further notices or perform any further acts under the Deposit Agreement,
except that the Depositary shall continue to collect dividends and other distributions pertaining to Deposited Securities, shall
sell rights and other property as provided in the Deposit Agreement, and shall continue to deliver Deposited Securities, together
with any dividends or other distributions received with respect thereto and the net proceeds of the sale of any rights or other
property, upon surrender of American Depositary Shares (after deducting, in each case, the fee of the Depositary for the surrender
of American Depositary Shares, any expenses for the account of the Owner of such American Depositary Shares in accordance with
the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement, and any applicable taxes or governmental charges). At any time after the expiration
of one year from the date of termination, the Depositary may sell the Deposited Securities then held under the Deposit Agreement
and may thereafter hold uninvested the net proceeds of any such sale, together with any other cash then held by it thereunder,
unsegregated and without liability for interest, for the pro rata benefit of the Owners of American Depositary Shares that have
not theretofore been surrendered, such Owners thereupon becoming general creditors of the Depositary with respect to such net proceeds.
After making such sale, the Depositary shall be discharged from all obligations under the Deposit Agreement, except to account
for such net proceeds and other cash (after deducting, in each case, the fee of the Depositary for the surrender of American Depositary
Shares, any expenses for the account of the Owner of such American Depositary Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions
of the Deposit Agreement, and any applicable taxes or governmental charges) and except for its obligations to the Company under
Section 5.08 of the Deposit Agreement. Upon the termination of the Deposit Agreement, the Company shall be discharged from
all obligations under the Deposit Agreement except for its obligations to the Depositary with respect to indemnification, charges,
and expenses.

DTC DIRECT REGISTRATION SYSTEM AND PROFILE MODIFICATION SYSTEM
|
(a) Notwithstanding
anything contrary in the Deposit Agreement, the parties acknowledge that the Direct Registration System ("DRS") and Profile
Modification System ("Profile") shall apply to uncertificated American Depositary Shares upon acceptance thereof to DRS
by DTC. DRS is the system administered by DTC pursuant to which the Depositary may register the ownership of uncertificated American
Depositary Shares, which ownership shall be evidenced by periodic statements issued by the Depositary to the Owners entitled thereto.
Profile is a required feature of DRS which allows a DTC participant, claiming to act on behalf of an Owner of American Depositary
Shares, to direct the Depositary to register a transfer of those American Depositary Shares to DTC or its nominee and to deliver
those American Depositary Shares to the DTC account of that DTC participant without receipt by the Depositary of prior authorization
from the Owner to register such transfer.
(b) In connection
with and in accordance with the arrangements and procedures relating to DRS/Profile, the parties understand that the Depositary
will not verify, determine or otherwise ascertain that the DTC participant which is claiming to be acting on behalf of an Owner
in requesting a registration of transfer and delivery as described in subsection (a) has the actual authority to act on behalf
of the Owner (notwithstanding any requirements under the Uniform Commercial Code). For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of
Sections 5.03 and 5.08 of the Deposit Agreement shall apply to the matters arising from the use of the DRS. The parties agree that
the Depositary's reasonable reliance on and compliance with instructions received by the Depositary through the DRS/Profile System
and in accordance with the Deposit Agreement shall not constitute negligence or bad faith on the part of the Depositary.

23.
|
SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; JURY TRIAL WAIVER; WAIVER OF IMMUNITIES.
|
In the Deposit Agreement,
the Company has (i) waived personal service of process upon it and consented that any service of process in any suit or proceeding
arising out of or relating to the Shares or Deposited Securities, the American Depositary Shares, the Receipts or the Deposit Agreement
may be made by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, directed to the Company at its address last specified for
notices hereunder, and service so made shall be deemed completed ten (10) days after the same shall have been so mailed, (ii) consented
and submitted to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court in the State of New York in which any such suit or proceeding may
be instituted, and (iii) agreed that service of process in the manner specified in the Deposit Agreement shall be deemed in every
respect effective service of process upon the Company in any such suit or proceeding.
EACH PARTY TO THE
DEPOSIT AGREEMENT (INCLUDING, FOR AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, EACH OWNER AND HOLDER) HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED
BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST THE COMPANY AND/OR THE DEPOSITARY
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SHARES OR OTHER DEPOSITED SECURITIES, THE AMERICAN DEPOSITARY SHARES OR
THE RECEIPTS, THE DEPOSIT AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREIN OR THEREIN, OR THE BREACH HEREOF OR THEREOF, INCLUDING
WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY QUESTION REGARDING EXISTENCE, VALIDITY OR TERMINATION (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).
To the extent that
the Company or any of its properties, assets or revenues may have or hereafter become entitled to, or have attributed to it, any
right of immunity, on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise, from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from the giving of any
relief in any respect thereof, from setoff or counterclaim, from the jurisdiction of any court, from service of process, from attachment
upon or prior to judgment, from attachment in aid of execution or judgment, or other legal process or proceeding for the giving
of any relief or for the enforcement of any judgment, in any jurisdiction in which proceedings may at any time be commenced, with
respect to its obligations, liabilities or any other matter under or arising out of or in connection with the Shares or Deposited
Securities, the American Depositary Shares, the Receipts or the Deposit Agreement, the Company, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to plead or claim, any such immunity and consents to such
relief and enforcement.
|
24.
|
DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS.
|
The Company
may from time to time request Owners to provide information as to the capacity in which such Owners own or owned American Depositary
Shares and regarding the identity of any other persons then or previously interested in such American Depositary Shares and the
nature of such interest. Each Owner agrees to provide any information requested by the Company or the Depositary pursuant to Section
3.04 of the Deposit Agreement. The Depositary agrees to comply with reasonable written instructions received from the Company requesting
that the Depositary forward any such requests to the Owners and to forward to the Company any such responses to such requests received
by the Depositary. To the extent that provisions of or governing any Deposited Securities or the rules or regulations of any governmental
authority or securities exchange or automated quotation system may require the disclosure of beneficial or other ownership of Deposited
Securities, other Shares and other securities to the Company or other persons and may provide for blocking transfer and voting
or other rights to enforce such disclosure or limit such ownership, the Depositary shall use its reasonable efforts to comply with
the Company's written instructions in respect of any such enforcement or limitation.
