However, in the event that the Company does attempt to facilitate any such sale of vested Award Shares, the Company does not represent to you that such sale will be completed, or if it is completed, that vested Award Shares will be sold at any particular price or require any particular level of brokerage commissions. You hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint Dr. Serge C.P. Belamant and Mr. Herman Gideon Kotze, each with full power and authority to act together or alone in any matter hereunder and with full power of substitution, your true and lawful attorneys-in-fact (individually an “ Attorney ,” and collectively, the “ Attorneys ”), with full power and authority in your name, for and on your behalf, with respect to all matters arising in connection with the sale of vested Award Shares, including, but not limited to, the power and authority on your behalf to take any and all of the following actions: (i) to sell such vested Award Shares through a broker, including a transaction in which the broker will act as a principal, at a purchase price per share as determined by negotiation between the Company, the Attorneys, and the broker and to complete, execute, and deliver a stock power in relation to the sale of vested Award Shares; (ii) on your behalf, to make representations and warranties and enter into appropriate agreements to effect the sale of such vested Award Shares; (iv) to instruct the Company’s transfer agent as the Attorneys shall determine on all matters pertaining to the delivery and custody of certificates for such

Each Attorney may act alone in exercising the rights and powers conferred on the Attorneys. Each Attorney is hereby empowered to determine in his sole discretion the time or times when, the purpose for and the manner in which any power herein conferred upon him shall be exercised, and the conditions, provisions, or covenants of any instrument or document which may be executed by him pursuant hereto. The power of attorney granted under this Section 4 is an agency coupled with an interest and all authority conferred hereby shall be irrevocable, and shall not be terminated by any act of yours or by operation of law, whether by your death, disability, or incapacity or by the occurrence of any other event or events. It is understood that the Attorneys assume no responsibility or liability for any aspect of offering or selling any vested Award Shares and shall not be liable for any error of judgment or for any act done or omitted or for any mistake of fact or law except for the Attorneys’ own gross negligence, willful misconduct, or bad faith. It is understood that the Attorneys, in acting pursuant to this power of attorney, are not acting in a fiduciary capacity on your behalf and are not required to, nor will they necessarily, obtain the best available price or the lowest possible fee or commission when negotiating or otherwise facilitating any sale of Award Shares pursuant to this power of attorney. The power of attorney granted under this Section 4 shall be binding upon you and your heirs, legal representatives, distributees, successors, and assigns.

Upon the request of the Company, you shall deliver to the Company a stock power, endorsed in blank, with respect to any Award Shares that have been forfeited pursuant to this Agreement.
