1.4

should be ignored when construing the Rules.

12

2.1

The Grantor may during a Grant Period grant Awards to such Eligible Employees as

it may in its absolute discretion determine. Subject to Rules 4, 5 and 9, a Cash Bonus

shall only be granted to an Eligible Employee after the Committee has determined

the extent to which the relevant Performance Targets have been satisfied. The

number of Shares comprised in a Bonus Share Award, will be determined by the

Grantor in its absolute discretion at the Date of Grant, after considering

recommendations of the relevant Employer. Such number will usually be

determinable by dividing the value of the proposed Bonus Share Award to be granted

by the Closing Price of the Shares trading on the JSE on the last Dealing Day prior to

the Date of Grant. The grant of a Cash Bonus will be made net of an amount equal to

any Tax Liability. 14.1(a); 14.1(f)

2.2

The value of a Cash Bonus and Bonus Share Award granted will be determined with

reference to a specified percentage of an Eligible Employee’s basic salary based on

the Eligible Employee’s grade as at the 31 December of the year preceding the Date

of Grant. 14.1(f)

2.3

A Bonus Share Award grants a right to an Eligible Employee to acquire Shares on

the specified Vesting Date subject to continued employment with the Participating

Companies. 14.1(f)

2.4

The grant of a Bonus Share Award or the delivery of any Shares following its vesting

or exercise shall be subject to obtaining any approval or consent required under any

applicable laws, regulations or governmental authority and the requirements of the

JSE and any other recognised stock exchange on which the Shares are traded.

2.5

As soon as practicable after the grant of a Bonus Share Award, the Grantor (or the

relevant Employer acting on behalf of the Grantor) shall issue to each Participant a

certificate evidencing the Bonus Share Award in such form as the Grantor may from

time to time prescribe. Such certificate must state: 14.1(f)

2.5.1    the Date of Grant;

2.5.2    the number of Shares over which the Bonus Share Award has been

granted to the Participant;

13

2.5.3   the first date on which any part of the Bonus Share Award vests or

becomes capable of exercise and any subsequent dates on which any

remaining part of the Bonus Share Award vests or becomes capable of

exercise;

2.5.4   the date on which the Bonus Share Award will lapse pursuant to Rules

8.1.1, 8.1.2 or 8.1.3 or any earlier date on which the Grantor determines

that the Bonus Share Award should lapse;

2.5.5   whether or not a Participant to whom a Bonus Share Award has been

granted is entitled to receive any dividends which are paid in respect of the

Shares subject to the Bonus Share Award during the Vesting Period or

dividend equivalents, or whether or not any such dividends will be re-

invested (either gross or net) in further Shares to be subject to the terms

applying to the Bonus Share Award;

2.5.6   the form in which the Bonus Share Award is made; and

2.5.7   whether the Bonus Share Award is a Stay Award, and if so, the Stay

Period.

2.6

No payment by the Participant shall be required on the grant of a Bonus Share

Award. 14.1(d)(i)

2.7

Subject to the vesting of a Bonus Share Award or the rights of exercise by the

Participant’s personal representatives pursuant to Rule 5, every Bonus Share Award

shall be personal to the Participant to whom it is granted and shall not be transferable

or in any way alienable without the prior written agreement of the Grantor and such

transfer shall be subject to such conditions as the Grantor may prescribe at that time.

14.1(e)

2.8

A Participant may surrender his Bonus Share Award in whole or in part within the

period of 30 days immediately following the Date of Grant and if a Bonus Share

Award, or any part of a Bonus Share Award, is so surrendered, it shall be deemed for

all purposes not to have been granted and shall therefore lapse. 14.3(f)

2.9      The costs of a Bonus Share Award shall be borne by the relevant Employer of the

Eligible Employee. In this regard –

14

2.9.1

the Employer shall be obliged to compensate the Company or the Grantor

for all costs associated with implementing this Plan;

2.9.2

the Company shall be entitled to seek recourse from an Employer in

respect of the relevant Bonus Share Award to the extent that the relevant Shares or

cash, as the case may be, are paid by the Company;

2.9.3

the Employer shall be obliged to pay the subscription price for the relevant

Share at Market Value to the extent that Shares are to be issued by the Company.

3.1

Subject to Rule 13.1, the total number of Shares which may be allocated under the

Plan to Eligible Employees on any day shall not, when added to the aggregate of the

number of Shares which have been allocated to Eligible Employees under the Plan

and any other employees’ share incentive schemes adopted by the Company,

exceed such number as represents 5 per cent of the ordinary share capital of the

Company in issue immediately prior to that day. The said percentage equates to

[17,000,000] ordinary shares in the share capital of the Company as at 31 December

2009. In the event of a discrepancy between the number of Shares and the

percentage of issued Shares it represents, the number of Shares shall prevail over

the stated percentage. 14.1(b)

3.2

Subject to Rules 11.3 and 13.1, the total number of Shares that may be allocated to

any individual Eligible Employee on any day shall not, when added to the aggregate

of the number of Shares which have been allocated under this Plan and any other

employees’ share incentive scheme adopted by the Company to that Eligible

Employee, exceed 850,000 Shares representing 0.25 percent (being 5 per cent of 5

per cent) of the ordinary share capital of the Company as at 31 December 2009. In

the event of a discrepancy between the number of Shares and the percentage of

issued Shares it represents, the number of Shares shall prevail over the stated

percentage. 14.1(c)

3.3

In determining the above limits:

3.3.1    no account shall be taken of any Shares where the right to acquire such

Shares lapsed without being exercised, including pursuant to Rule 2.8 above;

14.3(f); 14.12

15

3.3.2  no account shall be taken of any Shares where the right to acquire such

Shares has been or is to be satisfied other than by the issue or allotment of

any part of the share capital of the Company, for example, where Shares are

purchased in the market. 14.9(c)

3.4

For the avoidance of doubt, references in this Rule 3 to the “allocation” of Shares

shall mean, in the case of any share option plan, the placing of unissued Shares

under option and, in relation to other types of employees’ share scheme, shall mean

the commitment to issue Shares or the issue and allotment of Shares (whichever is

the earlier).

4.1

A Bonus Share Award save as provided in Rules 4.2, 4.3, 4.3A, 4.3B, 5 and 9 below

shall not vest or be exercised before the Vesting Date.

4.2

Where a Participant ceases to hold office or employment with a Group Member as a

result of:

4.2.1    injury, illness or disability;

4.2.2    operational requirements dismissal within the meaning of the Labour

Relations Act No. 66 of 1995 (or applicable equivalent legislation);

4.2.3    the company which employs him ceasing to be a Group Member;

4.2.4    Retirement or early retirement by agreement with the company which

employs him;

4.2.5    transfer or sale of the undertaking or part undertaking in which he is

employed to a person who is not a Group Member;

that Participant may exercise any vested Bonus Share Award which was granted as a

“nil” cost option at any time during the period of six months following the date of

cessation of employment (“the Exercise Period”). Where such cessation occurs during

the Vesting Period, the Participant may exercise such proportion of the Bonus Share

Award during the aforementioned Exercise Period or such proportion of a Bonus Share

Award may vest having regard to the length of time that the Participant has held the

office or employment during the Vesting Period apportioned on a monthly basis.

14.1(h)

16

4.3    A Participant who ceases to hold office or employment with a Group Member by virtue

of the participant’s termination of services (resignation), may exercise any vested

Bonus Share Awards granted as a “nil” cost option by no later than the date of

cessation. Any Bonus Share Awards which have not vested at the date of such

cessation will lapse at that time. 14.1(h)

4.3A

Where a Participant ceases to hold office or employment with a Group Member

because he is a Qualified Retiree, any Award held by him, whether vested or

unvested, shall vest on the Vesting Date and continue to be exercisable until it

lapses in terms of Rule 8, regardless of his Qualified Retirement. Provided that,

in the event that the date upon which an Award held by a Qualified Retiree is to

lapse falls within a period during which Rule 7 applies, the date upon which the

Award lapses shall automatically be extended to the date 5 business days after

the last day of that period. 14.1(h)

4.3B

Where a Participant has completed a Stay Period, if that Participant ceases to

hold office or employment with a Group Member, any Stay Award held by him,

whether vested or unvested, shall vest on the Vesting Date and continue to be

exercisable until it lapses in terms of Rule 8, regardless of the termination of

office or employment. Provided that the provisions of this clause 4.3B shall not

apply to a Stay Award a) if the termination of the Participant’s office or

employment is by reason of dismissal for conduct, or b) if the Employer and the

Participant agree that it will not apply, or c) if the Participant fails to hold office or

employment for the Stay Period.

4.4    Where a Participant ceases to hold office or employment with a Group Member by

reason of termination of services by reason of the dismissal of the Participant for

misconduct, all his Bonus Share Awards (whether vested or not) will lapse in

accordance with Rule 8.1.9. 14.1(h)

4.5    In the event that Bonus Share Awards vest or become exercisable under Rule 4.2.3

and Rule 9, the provisions of Rule 9 shall prevail.

4.6    On the vesting or exercise of a Bonus Share Award in accordance with Rules 4.2, 4.3,

4.3A or 4.3B, the Grantor may, in consultation with the Participant and the Employer,

agree that instead of delivering Shares to a Participant, the Employer may make a

cash payment to the Participant of a sum equal to the number of Shares over which

the Bonus Share Award has vested or is exercised (as at the date of vesting or

exercise as the case may be).

17

5.1

In the event of the death of the Participant,

5.1.1    any vested Bonus Share Award which was granted as a “nil” cost option may

be exercised;

5.1.2    any unvested Bonus Share Award will vest in such proportion having due

regard to the length of time that the Participant has held the office or

employment during the Vesting Period;

and the Bonus Share Award may be exercised at any time during the period of twelve

months following the date of death (“the Exercise Period”).

5.2

On the vesting or exercise of a Bonus Share Award in accordance with Rule 5.1. or a

Bonus Share Award granted in accordance with Rule 5.2, the Committee may

determine, in its absolute discretion, that instead of delivering Shares to the

Participant’s personal representatives, a cash payment shall be made to the

Participant’s personal representatives by the Employer (or in circumstances where

the Company has paid same, by seeking compensation from the Employer) of a sum

equal to the Market Value of the number of Shares over which the Bonus Share

Award has vested or is exercised (as at the date of vesting or exercise as the case

may be).

6.1

For the purpose of this Plan, no person shall be treated as ceasing to hold an office

or employment with a Group Member by virtue of which that person is eligible to

participate in the Plan until that person ceases to hold any office or employment with

any Group Member.

6.2

For the purpose of this Plan, a woman on maternity leave will not cease to hold an

office or employment with a Group Member until the earlier of the date on which she

notifies her employer of her intention not to return or the date on which she ceases to

have statutory or contractual rights to return to work.

No Bonus Share Award may be granted, vested, exercised, released or surrendered

at a time when such grant, exercise, release or surrender would not be in accordance

with any provisions in the Companies Act or the provisions of the JSE Listings

18

Requirements, as amended from time to time, or the Company’s policy in force from

time to time, in relation to closed periods in respect of dealings in securities.

or 4.3B expires, time is running under the period in Rule 5, the Bonus

Share Award shall not lapse by reason of this Rule 8.1.4 until the expiry of

the period specified in Rule 5);

Subject to Rules 9.3, 9.6 and 9.10 below, if any person makes an offer to obtain

Control of the Company, Bonus Share Awards shall vest or be exercised within six

months of the time when the person making the offer to obtain Control of the

Company and, if applicable, all conditions subject to which the offer is made have

been satisfied.

9.2

For the purpose of Rule 9.1 a person shall be deemed to have made an offer to

obtain Control of the Company if he and others who act in concert (as defined by

section 117(b) of the Companies Act), with him have together made an offer to obtain

Control of it.

9.3

Subject to Rules 9.6 and 9.10, if any person becomes bound or entitled to acquire

Shares under Section 124 of the Companies Act (dealing with compulsory

acquisitions of securities of minorities in affected transactions) and/or under Section

the creditors of a Participating Company and sanctioned by the Court (if the

Participating Company applies for that compromise to be sanctioned by the

the Participant will then, subject to Rule 9.10, be vested with the Bonus Share

Award or, as the case may be, exercise the Bonus Share Award subject to the

terms of this Rule 9.4 during a period of one month commencing on the date on

20

which the scheme of arrangement or compromise is approved, or sanctioned by

the Court, as the case may be.

9.5

If notice is duly given of a resolution for the voluntary winding-up of the Company, the

Company shall give notice thereof to all Participants to whom an Award has been

granted. Subject to Rules 9.6 and 9.10,

a Bonus Share Award will then vest or be

exercised pending the passing of the resolution; provided that any such exercise of a

Bonus Share Award pursuant to this Rule 9.5 shall be conditional upon the said

resolution being duly passed. If such resolution is duly passed all Bonus Share

Awards shall, to the extent that they have not vested or been exercised, lapse

immediately. 14.1(e)

9.6

If a company makes an offer to obtain Control of the Company in accordance with

Rule 9.1, or obtains Control of the Company in accordance with Rule 9.4, or

becomes bound or entitled in accordance with Rule 9.3, any Participant may at any

time within the Appropriate Period, by agreement with the relevant company, release

any Bonus Share Award which has not lapsed (“the Old Bonus Share Award”) in

consideration of the grant to him of a Bonus Share Award which is equivalent to the

Old Bonus Share Award but relates to shares in a different company (whether the

company which has made an offer, or obtained Control of the Company itself or

some other company) (“the New Bonus Share Award”).

9.7

For the purposes of Rule 9.6 the provisions of the Plan shall be construed as if:

9.7.1    the New Bonus Share Award was an Award granted under the Plan at the

same time as the Old Bonus Share Award;

9.7.2    except for the purpose of the definition of “Participating Company” in Rule 1

and the reference to “the Company” in Rule 15.2, the reference to

AngloGold Ashanti Limited in the definition of “the Company” in Rule 1

were a reference to the different company mentioned in Rule 9.6;

9.8

Rules 9.1, 9.3 and 9.4 above shall not apply where:

9.8.1    the events form part of a scheme of arrangement whereby Control of the

Company is obtained by another company (“the Acquiring Company”);

9.8.2    immediately after the Acquiring Company obtains Control, the issued equity

share capital of the Acquiring Company is owned substantially by the same

21

persons who were equity shareholders of the Company immediately prior

to the Acquiring Company obtaining Control; and

9.8.3    the Acquiring Company has agreed to grant new Awards in accordance

with Rule 9.6 in consideration for the release of any Awards which have not

lapsed.

9.9

If the Company has been or will be affected by any dividend in specie, super dividend

or other transaction which will adversely affect the current or future value of any

Bonus Share Awards, the Grantor may, acting fairly, reasonably and objectively,

allow all (but not only some) such Bonus Share Awards to vest or be exercised

conditionally upon the happening of such event. The Grantor will specify the period

of exercise of such Bonus Share Awards in these circumstances. The Grantor will

notify any Participant to whom an Award has been granted who is affected by this

Rule in accordance with Rule 14.1.

9.10    Where, during the Vesting Period, Rules 9.1, 9.3, 9.4 or 9.5 apply, the proportion of

the Bonus Share Award that may vest or be exercised shall be determined by the

Grantor in its absolute discretion having regard to the period of time that has elapsed

between the Date of Grant of the Bonus Share Award and the date of the relevant

corporate event referred to in the relevant Rule above, apportioned on a monthly

basis.

9.11    Where one of the corporate events referred to in Rules 9.1, 9.3, 9.4 or 9.5 occurs

during a Bonus Period, the Grantor may, in its discretion, determine the extent to

which an Eligible Employee to whom it was contemplated an Award might be made in

respect of that Bonus Period shall receive a Cash Bonus (if any) in respect of that

Bonus Period (having regard to the extent to which any Performance Targets have

been met at the date of the relevant corporate event). In these circumstances, the

terms of a Bonus Share Award (if any) to be granted to that Eligible Employee shall

be determined by the Grantor in its absolute discretion (including without limitation,

the form of, and number of Shares comprised in, such a Bonus Share Award, and the

terms of vesting and/or exercise of such a Bonus Share Award).

22

10.1    A Bonus Share Award in the form of a “nil” cost option may be exercised in whole or

in part.

10.2    A Bonus Share Award may be exercised by the delivery in writing or in electronic

format to the Company Secretary (as agent for the Grantor), or his duly appointed

agent, of a Bonus Share Award certificate covering at least all the Shares over which

the Bonus Share Award is then to be exercised, with the notice of exercise in the

prescribed form duly completed and signed by the Participant (or by his duly

authorised agent) to the Company (as agent for the Trustees where the Trustees

have agreed to satisfy the Bonus Share Award) in respect of the Shares over which

the Bonus Share Award is to be exercised, unless the Grantor determines that a

different exercise procedure should apply.

10.3    The effective date of exercise shall be the date of delivery of the notice of exercise.

For the purposes of this Plan a notice of exercise shall be deemed to be delivered

when it is received by the Company.

10.4     There shall be no consideration payable upon the Vesting or exercise of a Bonus

Share Award. 14.1(d)(ii)

10.5     In the event that any Tax Liability becomes due on the vesting or exercise of a Bonus

Share Award, the Participant will be deemed to have given irrevocable instructions to

the Company’s brokers (or any other person acceptable to the Company) for the sale

of sufficient Shares acquired on the vesting or exercise of the Award to realise an

amount equal to the Tax Liability and the payment of that amount to the Relevant

Company, unless:

10.5.1   the Relevant Company decides in its absolute discretion to and is able to

deduct an amount equal to the whole of the Tax Liability from the

Participant’s net pay for the relevant pay period; or

10.5.2  the Participant has paid to the Relevant Company an amount equal to the

Tax Liability; or

10.5.3   the Grantor determines otherwise.

23

11.1    Participants may (to the extent not already entitled), at the discretion of the Grantor,

receive dividends or dividend equivalents in respect of their Bonus Share Awards in

such form as the Grantor at its discretion determines including, without limitation, the

following:

11.1.1  a discretionary cash payment paid to the Participant, which is equal in

value to the dividends (gross or net value at the discretion of the Grantor)

which would have been paid on a Bonus Share Award of actual Shares

(equivalent to the number of Shares in respect of which the Bonus Share

Award vests) during the Vesting Period and treating such dividends as

having been re-invested in Shares at the respective payment dates for the

purposes of this calculation;

11.1.2  at the time the Bonus Share Award vests, an award of, or the grant of a nil

cost option over, such number of Shares as could have been purchased if

the dividends (gross or net value at the discretion of the Grantor) which

would have been paid on a Bonus Share Award of actual Shares

(equivalent to the number of Shares in respect of which the Bonus Share

Award vests) had been re-invested in Shares at the respective payment

dates of the dividends which were paid during the Vesting Period.

11.2    For the avoidance of doubt, where an option is granted or Shares are awarded under

Rule 11.1 above in respect of a Bonus Share Award, the definition of “Bonus Share

Award” shall be where appropriate, interpreted in relation to such a Bonus Share

Award to include such additional option or Shares.

11.3    For the further avoidance of doubt, any cash or Shares awarded under this Rule 11

shall not count towards the individual limits in Rule 3.

12.1    Subject to Rule 12.3 Shares to be issued or transferred pursuant to the vesting or

exercise of a Bonus Share Award shall be allotted or transferred to the Participant (or

his nominee) within 30 days following the date of effective exercise or vesting of the

Bonus Share Award. Shareholder rights in respect of the Shares will be acquired

upon this allotment or transfer. 14.1(e)

24

12.2    Subject to Rule 12.3, the Grantor shall procure the transfer of any Shares to be

transferred to a Participant (or his nominee) pursuant to the vesting or exercise of a

Bonus Share Award within 30 days following the date of effective exercise of the

Bonus Share Award, the cost thereof being borne by the relevant Employer of the

Participant, or the former Employer in the event that the Participant is a Qualified

Retiree, or the provisions of clause 4.3B apply.

12.3    The allotment or transfer of any Shares under the Plan shall be subject to obtaining

any such approval or consent as is mentioned in Rule 2.4 above.

12.4    The Company may, at its election, instruct the relevant Employer to settle the Bonus

Share Awards by purchasing, or procuring the purchase of, Shares in the market and

requiring those Shares to be delivered to Participants on the vesting or exercise of

Bonus Share Awards. 14.9(c)

12.5    Shares issued pursuant to the Plan will rank in all respects with the Shares then in

issue, except that they shall not rank for any right attaching to Shares by reference to

a record date preceding the date of allotment. 14.1(e)

12.6    Without prejudice to Rule 11, if Shares are transferred pursuant to the Plan the

Participant shall not be entitled to any rights attaching to Shares by reference to a

record date preceding the date of transfer. 14.1(e)

12.7    Shares will only be issued or purchased once a Participant to whom they will be

allocated has been formally identified. 14.9(a)

12.8    Shares, or rights thereto, held in trust or by the Plan will only be sold once the

employment of a Participant has been terminated or a Participant is deceased, or on

behalf of a Participant once the Bonus Share Awards have vested or been exercised.

14.9(b)

12.9    If and so long as the Shares are listed on the JSE, the Company shall apply for listing

of any Shares issued pursuant to the Plan as soon as practicable after the allotment

thereof.

13.1    The number of Shares over which a Bonus Share Award is granted and the

conditions of vesting or exercise (and where a Bonus Share Award has vested or has

been exercised but no Shares have been allotted or transferred pursuant to such

25

vesting or exercise, the number of Shares which may be so allotted or transferred)

shall be adjusted in such manner as the Grantor shall determine following any

capitalisation issue, any offer or invitation made by way of rights, subdivision,

consolidation, reduction, other variation in the share capital of the Company or any

other exceptional event which in the reasonable opinion of the Grantor justifies such

an adjustment. Such adjustment should give the Participant an entitlement to the

same portion of the equity capital as that to which he was entitled prior to the

occurrence of the relevant event or, if this is not possible due to the nature of the

transaction, such adjustment should maintain the value of the Bonus Share Award

and ensure that the value of the Bonus Share Award immediately after the relevant

event is substantially equivalent to the value of the Bonus Share Award immediately

prior to the relevant event. 14.1(g); 14.3(a),(b)

13.2    The auditors of the Company shall confirm to the JSE in writing that any adjustments

are in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. 14.3(d)

13.3    Any adjustments made under this Rule 13 will be reported on in the Company’s

annual financial statements in the year during which the adjustment is made. 14.3(e)

13.4    The issue of Shares as consideration for an acquisition, the issue of Shares for cash

and the issue of Shares or a vendor consideration placing will not be regarded as a

circumstance requiring adjustment under this Rule 13. 14.3(c)

13.5    The Grantor shall take such steps as it may consider reasonable and necessary to

notify Participants of any adjustment made under this Rule 13 and to call in, cancel,

endorse, issue or reissue any certificate consequent upon such adjustment.

14.1     Any notice or other communication under or in connection with the Plan may be given

by personal delivery or by sending the same by electronic means or post, in the case

of a company to its registered office, and in the case of an individual to his last known

address, or, where he is a director or employee of a Group Member, either to his last

known address or to the address of the place of business at which he performs the

whole or substantially the whole of the duties of his office or employment, and where

a notice or other communication is given by post, it shall be deemed to have been

received 72 hours after it was put into the post properly addressed and stamped, and

if by electronic means, when the sender receives electronic confirmation of delivery.

26

14.2    The Company may distribute to Participants copies of any notice or document

normally sent by the Company to the holders of Shares.

14.3    In the case of partial exercise of a Bonus Share Award, the Grantor may in

consequence call in, endorse, cancel and reissue, as it considers appropriate, any

certificate for the balance of the Shares over which the Bonus Share Award was

granted.

14.4    If any certificate shall be worn out, defaced or lost, it may be replaced on such

evidence being provided as the Grantor may require.

14.5    The Company shall at all times keep available for allotment unissued Shares at least

sufficient to satisfy all Bonus Share Awards under which Shares may be subscribed

or the Grantor shall procure that sufficient Shares are available for transfer to satisfy

all Bonus Share Awards under which Shares may be acquired.

14.6    The Plan shall be administered by the Board. The Board shall have full authority,

consistent with the Plan, to administer the Plan, including authority to interpret and

construe any provision of the Plan and to adopt such regulations for administering the

Plan and such forms of exercise as it may deem necessary or appropriate. Decisions

of the Board shall be final and binding on all parties.

14.7    The Board shall appoint a Compliance Officer as required by section 97(1) of the

Companies Act who shall, for and on behalf of the Board, be responsible for the day

to day administration of the Plan and compliance by the Company and the Board with

the provisions of section 97(2) of the said Companies Act.

14.8    The costs of introducing and administering the Plan shall be borne by the Employers

in such proportions, with reference to the Eligible Employees participating in the Plan,

as the Board shall in its discretion decide.

15.1    Subject to Rules 15.2 and 15.4, the Board may at any time (but only with the prior

consent of the Trustees if there are subsisting Awards which they have agreed to

satisfy or which will be affected by the alteration or addition) alter or add to all or any

of the provisions of the Plan in any respect.

15.2    Subject to Rule 15.3 no alteration or addition shall be made under Rule 15.1 to:

15.2.1 the persons to whom Awards may be granted under the Plan; 14.1(a)

27

15.2.2  the limitations on the number of Shares which may be issued under the

Plan; 14.1(b)

15.2.3  the individual limits on participation for each Participant in the Plan; 14.1(c)

15.2.4  the basis upon which Bonus Share Awards are made; the amount, if any,

payable on grant, vesting or exercise of a Bonus Share Award; the basis

for determining any price paid by Participants (if applicable); the period in

which any such payments to provide the same, must be made; 14.1(d);

14.1(f)

15.2.5  the procedure to be adopted on termination of employment or retirement of

a Participant; 14.1(h)

15.2.6  the voting, dividend, transfer and other rights, including those arising on a

liquidation of the Company, attaching to the Shares and to any options (if

appropriate); 14.1(e)

15.2.7  the rights of Participants in the event of a variation of the share capital,

change of control, reorganisation, winding up and takeover; and 14.1(g)

15.2.8  the terms of this Rule 15.2;

without the prior approval of the JSE and shareholders by ordinary resolution of 75

per cent of the shareholders of the Company in general meeting present or by proxy,

excluding all the votes attached to Shares owned and controlled by persons who are

existing Participants in the Plan and which have been acquired in terms of the

Plan.14.2

15.3     Rule 15.2 shall not apply to any minor alteration or addition which is to benefit the

administration of the Plan or to take account of any change in legislation or to obtain

or maintain favourable taxation, exchange control or regulatory treatment for the

Company, or any Subsidiary of the Company or any Participant.

15.4     No alteration or addition shall be made under Rule 15.1 which would materially

abrogate or adversely affect the subsisting rights of a Participant unless it is made:

15.4.1   with the consent in writing of such number of Participants as hold Bonus

Share Awards under the Plan to acquire 75 per cent of the Shares which

28

would be issued or transferred if all Bonus Share Awards granted and

subsisting under the Plan were vested or exercised; or

15.4.2  by a resolution at a meeting of Participants passed by not less than 75 per

cent of the Participants who attend and vote either in person or by proxy,

and for the purposes of this Rule 15.4 the provisions of the Articles of Association of

the Company relating to shareholder meetings shall apply mutatis mutandis.

15.5     Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan other than Rule 15.1 and 15.2 the

Board may, in respect of Awards granted to Eligible Employees who are or who may

become subject to taxation outside South Africa on their remuneration amend or add

to the provisions of the Plan and the terms of Awards as it considers necessary or

desirable to take account of or to mitigate or to comply with relevant overseas

taxation, securities or exchange control laws provided that the terms of Awards

granted to such Eligible Employees are not overall more favourable than the terms of

Awards granted to other Eligible Employees.

15.6     As soon as reasonably practicable after making any alteration or addition under Rule

15.1, the Board shall give written notice thereof to any Participant materially affected

thereby.

15.7     No alteration to the Plan under this Rule 15 shall require the consent of any person

unless expressly provided in the Rules.

LEGAL ENTITLEMENT

16.1    Nothing in the Plan or in any instrument executed pursuant to it will confer on any

person any right to continue in employment, nor will it affect the right of the provider

of any service relationship to terminate the employment of any person without liability

at any time with or without cause, nor will it impose upon the Grantor or any other

person any duty or liability whatsoever (whether in contract, delict or otherwise) in

connection with:

16.1.1  the lapsing of any Award pursuant to the Plan;

16.1.2  the failure or refusal to exercise any discretion under the Plan; and/or

16.1.3  a Participant ceasing to be a person who has a service relationship for any

reason whatsoever.

29

16.2    Awards shall not (except as may be required by taxation law) form part of the

emoluments of individuals or count as wages or remuneration for pension or other

purposes.

16.3    Any person who ceases to have the status or relationship of an employee with any

Participating Company as a result of the termination of his employment for any

reason and however that termination occurs, whether lawfully or otherwise, shall not

be entitled and shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived any entitlement by way of

damages for dismissal or by way of compensation for loss of office or employment or

otherwise to any sum, damages or other benefits to compensate that person for the

loss of alteration of any rights, benefits or expectations in relation to any Award, the

Plan or any instrument executed pursuant to it.

16.4    The benefit of this Rule 16 is given to the Company for itself and as trustee and agent

of each Group Member. To the extent that this Rule benefits any company which is

not a party to the Plan, the benefit shall be held on trust and as agent by the

Company for such company and the Company may, at its discretion, assign the

benefit of this Rule 16 to any such company.

17.1    The Plan shall endure for an indefinite period until terminated by a resolution of the

directors or a resolution of the Company in general meeting, but that termination will

not affect or modify any existing rights or obligations of the Participants and the

Grantor will continue to administer the Plan for so long as it may be necessary to give

effect thereto.

17.2    The Company and any Subsidiary of the Company may provide money to the

Trustees of any trust or any other person to enable them or him to acquire Shares to

be held for the purposes of the Plan, or enter into any guarantee or indemnity for

those purposes, to the extent permitted by Section 44 of the Companies Act.

17.3    The Company may require any Subsidiary to enter into such other agreement or

agreements as it shall deem necessary to oblige such Subsidiary to reimburse the

Company for any other amounts paid by the Company hereunder, directly or

indirectly in respect of such Subsidiary’s employees.

17.4     Nothing in the Plan shall be deemed to give any employee of any Participating

Company any right to participate in the Plan.

30

17.5    To the extent that the Company or a share trust established for the purpose of

implementing this Plan, acquires or holds Shares for the purpose of this Plan, the

voting rights attaching to such Shares shall not be taken into account at any general

annual general meetings held by Company for any JSE resolution voting purposes.

The voting rights attaching to such Shares shall also not be taken into account for the

purposes of determining categorisations as detailed in Section 9 of the JSE Listing

Requirements. 14.10

17.6    The Company shall disclose in its financial statements the number of Shares that

may be utilised for purposes of the Plan at the beginning of the accounting period

and changes in such number during the accounting period and the balance of

securities available for utilisation for purposes of the Plan at the end of the

accounting period. 14.8

17.7    The Company will ensure compliance with paragraphs 3.63-3.74 (directors dealings)

of the JSE Listings Requirements in terms of share dealings by the Company relating

to the Plan. 14.9(d)

17.8    These Rules shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of

South Africa, including conflicts of laws.
