The Borrower shall promptly upon becoming aware that an Obligor must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction) notify the Facility Agent accordingly. Similarly, a Lender shall notify the Facility Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Lender. If the Facility Agent receives such notification from a Lender it shall notify the Borrower and that Obligor.

(3)

If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by an Obligor, the amount of the payment due from that Obligor shall be increased to an amount which (after making any Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required provided that a payment shall not be required to be increased under this clause 12.2(3) as a result of a Tax Deduction required by the laws of South Africa and the provisions of any relevant double taxation agreement in place between South Africa and any relevant jurisdiction, in each case as in force as at the Signature Date (and without reference to any change after the Signature Date to (or to the interpretation, administration, or application of) any such laws or double taxation agreement(s)) and assuming for these purposes that all relevant procedural formalities under such double taxation agreement necessary for the Borrower to obtain authorisation to make any relevant payment at a reduced rate of withholding have been completed, to be made by the Borrower with respect to any payment of interest payable by the Borrower hereunder to any Original Lender (any such Tax Deduction a Relevant Tax Deduction).

Execution


(4)	If an Obligor is required to make a Tax Deduction, that Obligor shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by law.

(5)

Within 30 days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the Obligor making that Tax Deduction shall deliver to the Facility Agent for the Finance Party entitled to the payment evidence reasonably satisfactory to that Finance Party that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant taxing authority.


12.3	Tax indemnity


(1)	The Borrower shall (within three Business Days of demand by the Facility Agent) pay to a Protected Party an amount equal to the loss, liability or cost which that Protected Party determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered for or on account of Tax by that Protected Party in respect of a Finance Document.


(2)	Clause 12.3(1) above shall not apply:

(a)

with respect to any Tax assessed on a Finance Party (A) under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which that Finance Party is treated as resident for tax purposes or (B) under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party’s Facility Office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction, if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by that Finance Party; or


(b)	to the extent a loss, liability or cost is compensated for by an increased payment under clause 12.2 (Tax gross-up); or


(c)	with respect to any Relevant Tax Deduction.


(3)	A Protected Party making, or intending to make a claim under clause 12.3(2)(a) above shall promptly notify the Facility Agent of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim, following which the Facility Agent shall notify the Borrower.


(4)	A Protected Party shall, on receiving a payment from an Obligor under this clause 12.3, notify the Facility Agent.


12.4	Tax Credit

If an Obligor makes a Tax Payment and the relevant Finance Party determines that:


(1)	a Tax Credit is attributable either to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part, or to that Tax Payment; and


(2)	that Finance Party has obtained and utilised that Tax Credit,

the Finance Party shall pay an amount to the Obligor which that Finance Party determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the Tax Payment not been required to be made by the Obligor.


12.5	Stamp taxes

Execution

The Borrower shall (a) pay and, (b) within three Business Days of demand, indemnify each Finance Party against any cost, loss or liability that Finance Party incurs in relation to all stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of any Finance Document.


12.6	Value added tax

(1)

All amounts expressed to be payable under a Finance Document by any Party to a Finance Party which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly, subject to clause 12.6(2) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party to any Party under a Finance Document and such Finance Party is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that Party must pay to such Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Finance Party must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that Party).

(2)

If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party (the Supplier) to any other Finance Party (the Recipient) under a Finance Document, and any Party other than the Recipient (the Relevant Party) is required by the terms of any Finance Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Recipient in respect of that consideration):

(a)

(where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT. The Recipient must (where this paragraph (i) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and

(b)

(where the Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must promptly, following demand from the Recipient, pay to the Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.

(3)

Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse or indemnify a Finance Party for any costs or expenses, that Party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Finance Party for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Finance Party reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.


12.7	FATCA Information


(1)	Subject to clause 12.7(3) below, each Party shall, within 10 Business Days of a reasonable request by another Party:


(a)	confirm to that other Party whether it is:


(i)	a FATCA Exempt Party; or


(ii)	not a FATCA Exempt Party;

Execution


(b)	supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party's compliance with FATCA; and


(c)	supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party's compliance with any other law, regulation, or exchange of information regime.


(2)	If a Party confirms to another Party pursuant to clause 12.7(1) above that it is a FATCA Exempt Party and it subsequently becomes aware that it is not or has ceased to be a FATCA Exempt Party, that Party shall notify that other Party reasonably promptly.


(3)	clause 12.7(1) above shall not oblige any Finance Party to do anything, and clause 12.7(1)(c) above shall not oblige any other Party to do anything, which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of:


(a)	any law or regulation;


(b)	any fiduciary duty; or


(c)	any duty of confidentiality.

(4)

If a Party fails to confirm whether or not it is a FATCA Exempt Party or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with clauses 12.7(1)(a)(i) or 12.7(1)(a)(ii) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where clause 12.7(3) above applies), then such Party shall be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents (and payments under them) as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party until such time as the Party in question provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information.


12.8	FATCA Deduction


(1)	Each Party may make any FATCA Deduction it is required to make by FATCA, and any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, and no Party shall be required to increase any payment in respect of which it makes such a FATCA Deduction or otherwise compensate the recipient of the payment for that FATCA Deduction.


(2)	Each Party shall promptly, upon becoming aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of such FATCA Deduction), notify the Party to whom it is making the payment and, in addition, shall notify the Borrower and the Facility Agent and the Facility Agent shall notify the other Finance Parties.

Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally jointly and severally:


(1)	guarantees to each Finance Party punctual performance by the Borrower of its payment obligations under the Finance Documents;


(2)	undertakes in favour of each Finance Party that whenever the Borrower does not pay any amount when due under or in connection with any Finance Document, that Guarantor shall immediately on demand pay that amount as if it was the principal obligor; and

(3)

agrees with each Finance Party that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal, it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify that Finance Party immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability that Finance Party incurs as a result of the Borrower not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by the Borrower under any Finance Document on the date when it would have been due. The amount payable by a Guarantor under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this clause 17 if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee.


17.2	Continuing guarantee

This guarantee is a continuing guarantee and will extend to the ultimate balance of sums payable by any Obligor under the Finance Documents, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.


17.3	Reinstatement

If any discharge, release or arrangement (whether in respect of the obligations of any Obligor or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is made by a Finance Party in whole or in part on the basis of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be restored in insolvency, liquidation, business rescue proceedings, administration, winding-up or otherwise, without limitation, then the liability of each Guarantor under this clause 17.3 will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred.


17.4	Waiver of defences

The obligations of each Guarantor under this clause 17 will not be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this clause 17, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this clause 17 (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any Finance Party) including:


(1)	any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any Obligor or other person;


(2)	the release of any other Obligor or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any member of the Group;

Execution


(3)	the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, execute, take up or enforce, any rights against, or security over assets of, any Obligor or other person or any non-presentation or non-observance of any formality or other requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure to realise the full value of any security;


(4)	any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of an Obligor or any other person;


(5)	any amendment, novation, supplement, extension, restatement (however fundamental and whether or not more onerous) or replacement of any Finance Document or any other document or security including without limitation any change in the purpose of, any extension of or any increase in the facility or the addition of any new facility under any Finance Document or other document or security;


(6)	any unenforceability, illegality, invalidity suspension or cancellation of any obligation of any person under this Agreement or any other Finance Document or any other document or security;


(7)	any insolvency, liquidation, winding-up, business rescue or similar proceedings; or


(8)	this Agreement or any other Finance Document not being executed by or binding against any other Guarantor or any other party.


17.5	Guarantor Intent

Without prejudice to the generality of Clause 17.4 (Waiver of defences), each Guarantor expressly confirms that it intends that this guarantee shall extend from time to time to any (however fundamental) variation, increase, extension or addition of or to any of the Finance Documents and/or any facility or amount made available under any of the Finance Documents for the purposes of or in connection with any of the following: business acquisitions of any nature; increasing working capital; enabling investor distributions to be made; carrying out restructurings; refinancing existing facilities; refinancing any other indebtedness; making facilities available to new borrowers; any other variation or extension of the purposes for which any such facility or amount might be made available from time to time; and any fees, costs and/or expenses associated with any of the foregoing.


17.6	Immediate recourse

Each Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring any Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from that Guarantor under this clause 17. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document to the contrary.


17.7	Appropriations

Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full, each Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) may:


(1)	refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, security or rights held or received by that Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) in respect of those amounts, or apply and enforce the same in such manner and order as it sees fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise) and no Guarantor shall be entitled to the benefit of the same; and

Execution


(2)	hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from any Guarantor or on account of any Guarantor's liability under this clause 17.


17.8	Deferral of Guarantors' rights

Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full and unless the Facility Agent otherwise directs, no Guarantor will exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under the Finance Documents or by reason of any amount being payable, or liability arising, under this clause 17:


(1)	to be indemnified by an Obligor;


(2)	to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of or provider of security for any Obligor's obligations under the Finance Documents;


(3)	to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Finance Parties under the Finance Documents or of any other guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, the Finance Documents by any Finance Party;


(4)	to bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring any Obligor to make any payment, or perform any obligation, in respect of which any Guarantor has given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under clause 17.1 (Guarantee and indemnity);


(5)	to exercise any right of set-off against any Obligor; and/or


(6)	to claim or prove as a creditor of any Obligor in competition with any Finance Party.

If a Guarantor receives any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to such rights it shall hold that benefit, payment or distribution to the extent necessary to enable all amounts which may be or become payable to the Finance Parties by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents to be repaid in full on trust for the Finance Parties and shall promptly pay or transfer the same to the Facility Agent or as the Facility Agent may direct for application in accordance with clause 27 (Sharing among the Finance Parties).


17.9	Release of Guarantors' right of contribution

If any Guarantor (Retiring Guarantor) ceases to be a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents for the purpose of any sale or other disposal of that Retiring Guarantor then on the date such Retiring Guarantor ceases to be a Guarantor:


(1)	that Retiring Guarantor is released by each other Guarantor from any liability (whether past, present or future and whether actual or contingent) to make a contribution to any other Guarantor arising by reason of the performance by any other Guarantor of its obligations under the Finance Documents; and

(2)

each other Guarantor waives any rights it may have by reason of the performance of its obligations under the Finance Documents to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Finance Parties under any Finance Document or of any other security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, any Finance Document where such rights or security are granted by or in relation to the assets of the Retiring Guarantor.

Schedule 9 - Disclosed Potential Environmental Claim

Hidden Valley Joint Venture – Watut River claim/litigation.

A legal claim against Harmony Gold (PNG Services) Limited and 5 other defendants was filed in the National Court of Justice at Lae, Papua New Guinea on 14 December 2010 by Mr Sam Basil, Member for Bulolo in PNG (Plaintiff).

The legal claim is brought in the Plaintiff's personal capacity as well as on behalf of a list of 110 named customary landowners residing in the Upper Watut, Mumeng and Wampar Local Level Government Areas of the Morobe Province of PNG. The claim:


1	is brought on the basis of private and public nuisance and negligence:


2	seeks unspecified damages for impacts on customary land and water rights of the 110 landholders caused by the alleged release of waste rock and overburden in the Watut River by the defendants operation of the Hidden Valley Mine;


3	claims impacts such as the sedimentation of the Watut River, dieback of vegetation, damage to plant life, fish and humans from acid forming materials contained within the waste rock, loss of river transport, gardens and cash crops;


4	asserts that the impacts caused by the release of materials was due to negligent or poor management actions of Harmony and the other defendants with respect to the Hidden Valley Mine, including the failure to build adequate waste rock dumps, sedimentation dams and tailings storage facilities;


5	seeks damages, injunction to stop the further release of materials and operation of the mine until problems are resolved, and a declaration that the Plaintiffs are required to be consulted about erosion control on the Hidden Valley Mine.

A defence was filed in the Court in February 2011 on behalf of Morobe Consolidated Goldfields Ltd and Hidden Valley Services Limited. Steps have been taken in an attempt to have the proceedings discontinued against Harmony Gold (PNG Services) Limited as it was never served. Other defendants to the action have also filed defences and motions to dismiss proceedings as abuse of process.

No further steps have been taken in the proceedings by either party to date.

Potential environmental claims:

Dispute between the Group and Mr. Pitas in the Free State. Mr. Pitas had previously lodged an application to revoke one of the Group’s mining rights in the Free State and has claimed R45m damages, arising out of an alleged failure by the Group to comply with its rehabilitation obligations. Harmony has completed all the rehabilitation work required in terms of a court order obtained by Mr Pitas and do not expect any further demands in this regard.
