11.	ALLOCATION OF PARTICIPATION UNITS TO BENEFICIARIES

11.1

As soon as reasonably possible following the registration of the Trust, applying the Allocation Criteria, the Trustees shall send/deliver a once-off Allocation Notice to each selected Eligible Employee (whether electronically or otherwise), specifying, inter alia, the number of Participation Units that are to be vested in the Eligible Employee and the number of Trust Shares which are attributable to those Participation Units and the relevant Allocation Date applicable to those Participation Units.

11.2

Upon the Trustees sending/delivering such Allocation Notice, each Eligible Employee shall be deemed to have accepted such Allocation and the terms of the Trust Deed and shall immediately become a Beneficiary of this Trust. Should any Eligible Employee choose not to accept such Allocation they will be advised in the Allocation Notice of a contact number which they can call in order to formally reject the Allocation made in terms of the Allocation Notice. Any Eligible Employee who fails to follow such procedure within a period of 10 (ten) days from the Allocation Date stipulated in the Allocation Notice, shall be deemed to have accepted the Allocation and the terms of this Trust Deed and shall automatically become a Beneficiary of the Trust.


11.3	For the avoidance of doubt, the Allocation of Participation Units to a Beneficiary in terms of this clause 11 is subject to the employment service requirements contained in clause 13, and to the restrictions on transferability of those Participation Units until the expiry of the Lock-in Period, as set out in clause 12 below.

11.4	The Trust Shares that are attributable to the Participation Units that have been Allocated to a Beneficiary in terms of this clause 11, shall be registered in the name of this Trust to be held by this Trust on behalf of the Beneficiary concerned until the expiry of the Lock-in Period.


11.5	In the event of the cancellation of Participation Units in terms of this Trust Deed, the Trustees shall adjust the Beneficiary register referred to in clause 8.1 to reflect this. The Trust Shares that were attributable to those Participation Units that were cancelled shall then form part of the Pool Shares.

11.6

The Trustees shall Allocate Participation Units resulting in a vesting of the Pool Shares in terms of this Trust Deed, at any point in time prior to the expiry of the Lock-in Period, in accordance with and in the same manner set out in this clause 11. Accordingly, applying the Allocation Criteria, The Trustees shall send Allocation Notices to Eligible Employees that join/qualify after the initial Allocation of Participation Units for purposes of Allocating the Pool Shares provided that this takes place no later than the end of the month following the month during which such Eligible Employee qualified for participation in terms of this Trust.

12.1.5	Sell or Encumber any Harmony Shares or enter into any agreement in respect of any votes attached to his Harmony Shares or enter into any derivative transaction in respect of his Harmony Shares.

12.2

In the event that a Beneficiary purports to do or does anything listed in clause 12.1 at any time prior to the expiry of the Lock-in Period, the Participation Units of the defaulting Beneficiary will be cancelled for no consideration, and he shall cease to be a Beneficiary of this Trust. The attributable Trust Shares in respect of such cancelled Participation Units shall thereafter form part of the Pool Shares and the Trustees shall adjust the Beneficiary register referred to in clause 8.1 to reflect this.

13.3	In the event that a Beneficiary ceases to be an employee of Harmony prior to the expiry of the Lock-in Period, and that Beneficiary is a Bad Leaver in terms of clause 14.2, all of that Beneficiary’s Participation Units will forthwith be cancelled for no consideration, and he will cease to be a Beneficiary of the Trust.

14.1.1.6	due to the fact he/she is no longer employed by Harmony by reason of being transferred along with a mine or mining operation sold or transferred by Harmony as a going concern, then

that Beneficiary’s termination of employment or promotion (as the case may be) will be regarded as a “No Fault Termination” and the Beneficiary will qualify as a “Good Leaver” for purposes of the Trust.

14.1.2

Where the Beneficiary is a Good Leaver as contemplated in clause 14.1.1, the Beneficiary’s full number of Participation Units shall be immediately cancelled, the attributable Trust Shares shall be sold, and the proceeds derived from such sale shall be distributed to the Beneficiary (or his estate as the case may be), less any amounts required to be withheld for tax purposes.

14.2.4

In the event that a Beneficiary is a Bad Leaver on the grounds set out in clause 14.2.1 and is however subsequently lawfully reinstated back to the employ of Harmony after the expiry of the Lock-in Period, Harmony shall make a compensatory payment to such employee calculated with reference to the value of all benefits that they would have received had such employee remained a Beneficiary of the Trust as from the date of their initial termination of employment, provided that such employee provides proof to Harmony of the dispute (which gave rise to their reinstatement) having been formally lodged with the CCMA and/or the Labour Court either prior to the expiry of the Lock-in Period, or at least within 14 (fourteen) days thereafter.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Trust Shares sold for purposes of this clause 17.2, shall be sold as part of bulk sale and in calculating the amount of proceeds to be distributed to each Beneficiary the Trustees shall apply an average amount attributable to each Trust Share sold in the bulk sale, determined in accordance with the following formula:
