         Offerees  with  respect  to the  shares  offered  to the  non-accepting
         Offerees.

8.12     If none of the  Offerees  shall  within such period as stated in Clause
         8.6 above accept the offer to purchase the said shares,  the JV Company

         third party,  acceptable  to the existing  shareholders  at a price not

         the JV  Company is  proposed  to be made to a person who is not a party
         hereto,  the  transferor  shall on the  sale  thereof  secure  that the
         proposed  transferee  agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement
         and shall  procure that the  transferee  enters into a legally  binding
         agreement with the other parties hereto containing the terms hereof and
