obligations of the Buyer under the Supply Contract (the “Liability”) and
hereby undertakes and agrees as follows:

1. Guarantee. The Guarantor:


1.1 Notwithstanding any other clauses herein, ZESACCCCCCCC
guarantees that if Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission & Distribution
Company (Private) Limited fails to repay EngelecP ,
ZesaCCCCCCCC irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees
ENGELECCCCCCCCC the punctual and full performance by the
1/7
Buyer of the Liabilities due and owing to EngelecCCCCCCCC; and
1.2 Undertakes with ENGELECCCCCCCCC that if the Buyer fails to
perform or observe any Liability when due, the Guarantor shall pay to
ENGELECCCCCCCCC such Liability promptly upon demand;
1.3 Indemnify the Beneficiary against any loss, cost, expense, damages
or liability suffered or incurred by it (including, without limitation, court
costs and reasonable legal fees) as a result of any Liabilities due to
EngelecCCCCCCCC or not being satisfied in full by reason of any
breach by the Guarantor of any of the Liabilities due to
EngelecCCCCCCCC.

2. Demand and payment. In the event that the Buyer, after demand, fails to
perform or observe any Liability when due, ENGELECCCCCCCCC is
entitled to send a demand to the Guarantor for the amount which is due to
be paid under the Supply Contract and within seven (7) calendar days of
the receipt of such demand, the Guarantor shall make payment of the
amount which is demanded.

3. Immediate recourse. The Guarantor waives any right it may have of first
requiring ENGELECCCCCCCCC to proceed against or enforce any other
rights or remedies in respect of the Liabilities from any person other than
the Buyer before claiming from the Guarantor under this Guarantee. This
waiver applies irrespective of any provision of the Supply Contract
stipulating to the contrary.

4. Waiver of defense. Neither the obligations of the Guarantor contained in


this Guarantee nor the rights, powers and remedies conferred upon
ENGELECCCCCCCCC by this Guarantee or by law shall be discharged,
impaired or otherwise affected by:
4.1 the winding-up, dissolution, administration or re-organisation of the

2/7
Buyer or change in the status, function, shareholding or control of the
Buyer save to the extent permitted by law,
4.2 any time or other indulgence being granted or agreed to or with the
Buyer in respect of the Liabilities or any security held by
ENGELECCCCCCCCC in respect thereof;
4.3 any amendment to, or any variation, waiver or release of, the
Liabilities or any of them or any security held by
ENGELECCCCCCCCC in respect thereof;
4.4 any total or partial failure to take or perfect any security proposed to
be taken in respect of the Liabilities or any of them;

Guarantor to ENGELECCCCCCCCC under this Guarantee shall be made
without any set-off or counterclaim, and free and clear of and without
deduction for or on account of tax unless the Guarantor is required to
make such payment subject to the deduction or withholding of tax, in
which case the sum payable by the Guarantor in respect of which such
deduction or withholding is required to be made shall be increased to the
extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of the required deduction
or withholding, ENGELECCCCCCCCC receives and retains (free from any
liability in respect of any such deduction or withholding) a net sum equal to
the sum which it would have received and so retained had no such
deduction or withholding been made or required to be made.

6. Any payment made by the Guarantor under this Guarantee shall be paid
by wire transfer of such amounts in immediately available funds
denominated in United States Dollars or the prescribed legal tender or in

3/7
other currency as agreed in writing by the parties to

ENGELECCCCCCCCC shall designate in the demand to the Guarantor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any event the amount payable by the
Guarantor to ENGELECCCCCCCCC under this Guarantee shall not
exceed the Liabilities unless default interest over the delay amount is
charged in accordance with this Guarantee.

7. Costs and Expenses. The Guarantor shall pay all related local stamp,
registration and other taxes in connection with this Guarantee.
8. No waiver. No failure by ENGELECCCCCCCCC to exercise, or any delay
by ENGELECCCCCCCCC in exercising any right or remedy under this
Guarantee shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other such right or remedy. The rights and
remedies provided in this Guarantee are cumulative and not exclusive of
any rights or remedies provided by law.

9. Assignment. This Guarantee shall be for the sole benefit of


EngelecCCCCCCCC, its respective lawful successors and assignees.

Guarantee with a prior notice to the Guarantor. The rights and obligations

rights or obligations.

and to the extent that there may be such immunity attributed to itself, its
assets or revenues (whether or not claimed), the Guarantor irrevocably
