should be ignored when construing the Rules.

2.1    The Grantor, after considering recommendations of the relevant Employer, may

during a Grant Period grant Awards to such Eligible Employees as it may in its

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

evidencing the Award in such form as the Grantor may from time to time prescribe.

11

2.6.6

be subject to the terms applying to the Award;

2.6.7

the form in which the Award is made in accordance with Rule 2.8;

and

2.6.8

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

Period.

2.7    No payment by the Participant shall be required on the grant of an Award. 14.1(d)(i)

2.8    Subject

to

the

vesting of an Award or the rights of exercise by the Participant’s

personal representatives pursuant to Rule 4.3, every 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)

2.9    A Participant may surrender his Award in whole or in part within the period of 30 days

immediately following the Date of Grant and if an Award, or any part of an Award, is so

surrendered, it shall be deemed for all purposes not to have been granted. . 14.3(f)

2.10   The Grantor, after considering the proposal and/or recommendations made by the

relevant Employer, shall determine at the Date of Grant the form in which an Award is

made and its full terms. An Award may take the form of any one of the following:

2.10.1  an option to acquire Shares, exercisable for a nil or nominal consideration;

2.10.2  an award of Shares, for nil or nominal consideration subject to restrictions;

2.10.3  a conditional right to receive Shares at no cost to the Participant; and

2.10.4  such other form which the Grantor considers has a substantially similar

purpose or effect, whether the relevant Shares are procured by an Employer

or issued by the Company pursuant to the costs thereof being borne by the

relevant Employer.

2.11   The costs of an Award shall be borne by the relevant Employer of the Eligible

Employee. In this regard –

12

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

all costs associated with implementing this Plan;

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

of the relevant Award to the extent that the relevant Shares or cash, as the

case may be, are paid by the Company;

2.11.3  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 14.1, the total number of Shares which may be allocated to Eligible

Employees under this Plan 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 scheme 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 2.1, 10.3 and 13.1, the total number of Shares that may be

allocated to any individual Eligible Employee under this Plan and any other

employees share plan adopted by the Company on any day shall not, when added

to the aggregate of the number of Shares which have been allocated under this

Plan 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 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 has lapsed without being exercised, including pursuant to Rule 2.8

above; 14.3(f); 14.12

13

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   An Award save as provided in Rules 4.2, 4.3, 4.3A, 4.3B, 4.4, 4.5, 5, and 9 below:

4.1.1   shall not vest or be exercised before the Vesting Date; and

4.1.2   shall only vest or be capable of exercise to the extent that any conditions

imposed under Rule 2.4 have been satisfied or waived.

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

a no fault to the employee basis, i.e. they are a Good Leaver as a result of: 14.1(h)

4.2.2   operational requirements dismissal within the meaning of the Labour

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

(retrenchment/ redundancy);

4.2.4   Retirement or early retirement by agreement with the company which

employs him; or

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;

then:

a)   any vested Award which was granted under Rule 2.10.1 may be exercised at

any time during the period of six months following the date of cessation of

employment (“the Exercise Period”);

14

b) any unvested Awards will vest in such proportion having due regard to the

length of time that the Participant has held the office or employment during

the Award Period. The Award to vest to the Participant will be determined

by calculating the average percentage achievement of the previous two years

agreed performance (based on the set performance conditions) and applying

this to the Award. All unvested shares will lapse.

4.3    Where a Participant is a Good Leaver because he ceases to hold office or

employment with a Group Member as a result of the death of the Participant any

unvested Awards will vest in such proportion having due regard to the length of time

that the Participant has held the office or employment during the Award Period.

Vesting will occur irrespective of the satisfaction of the performance condition; and

the Award in the case of death of the Participant may be exercised at any time

during the period of twelve months following the date of cessation (“the Exercise

Period”). 14.1(h)

4.3    A Where a Participant is a Good Leaver 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 7, 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 6 applies, the date upon which the

Award lapses shall automatically be extended to the date five (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. 14.1(h)

15

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

virtue of the participant’s termination of services being categorised as a Bad Leaver

in the event of: 14.1(h)

4.4.1   Resignation, may exercise any vested Awards made pursuant to Rule 2.10.1

by no later than the date of cessation. Any Awards which have not vested at

the date of such cessation will lapse at that time.

4.4.2   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 Awards (whether vested or not) will lapse in

accordance with Rule 7.1.9.

4.5    In the event that Awards vest or become exercisable under Rule 4.2.4 and Rule 8,

the provisions of Rule 8 shall prevail.

4.6    On vesting or exercise of Awards in accordance with Rule 4.2, 4.3, 4.3A, 4.3B or

4.5 the Grantor may, in consultation with the Participant, agree that instead of

delivering Shares to the Participant, 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 Award has

vested or is exercised (as at the date of vesting or exercise as the case may be).

5.1    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.

5.2    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 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

16

provisions in the Companies Act or the provisions of the JSE Listings 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.

shall not lapse by reason of this Rule 7.1.4 until the expiry of the period

specified in Rule 4.3);

with any relevant provision of the Takeover Regulations, an Award will vest or be

exercised within a period of four weeks beginning from the date on which that

person becomes so bound or entitled.

8.4     Subject

to

Rule

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

Participating Company applies for that compromise to be sanctioned by the

8,10, an Award will then vest or be exercised until the resolution is duly passed or

defeated or the meeting concluded or adjourned sine die provided that any such

exercise of an Award pursuant to this Rule 8.5 shall be conditional upon the said

resolution being duly passed. If such resolution is duly passed all Awards shall, to

the extent that they have not vested or been exercised, lapse immediately. 14.1(e)

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

Rule 8.1 or obtains Control of the Company under a scheme of arrangement or

compromise approved and/or sanctioned by the Court under Section 114 (read with

Section 115) or Section 155 of the Companies Act, as the case may be, or

becomes bound or entitled in accordance with Rule 8.3, any Participant may at any

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

release any Award which has not lapsed (“the Old Award”) in consideration of the

grant to him of an Award which is equivalent to the Old 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 Award”).

Ashanti Limited in the definition of “the Company” in Rule 1 were a reference

to the different company mentioned in Rule 8.6;

8.7.3    subject to Rule 8.7.4 any conditions specified pursuant to Rule 2.4 shall not

apply; and

8.7.4    where Rule 8.8 applies, any conditions specified pursuant to Rule 2.4 shall

apply in their original form unless the Grantor (or if the Grantor is not the

Committee, the Committee) determines in accordance with Rule 2.2.2 that it

would be appropriate for such conditions to be varied or waived in full or in

part.

8.8     Rules 8.1, 8.3 and 8.4 above shall not apply where:

19

8.8.1    the events form part of a scheme or arrangement whereby Control of the

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

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

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

persons who were equity shareholders of the Company immediately prior to

the Acquiring Company obtaining Control; and

8.8.3    the Acquiring Company has agreed to grant new Awards in accordance with

Rule 8.6 in consideration for the release of any Awards which have not

lapsed.

8.9    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 Awards, the Grantor may, acting fairly, reasonably and objectively, allow all

such Awards (but not some only) to vest or be exercised conditionally on such

event happening. The Grantor will specify the period of exercise of such Awards in

these circumstances. The Grantor will notify any Participant who is affected by this

Rule in accordance with Rule 13.1.

8.10   Where, during the Award Period, Rules 8.1, 8.3, 8.4 or 8.5 apply, the proportion of

8.10.1

8.10.2

9.1    An Award in the form specified in Rule 2.10.1 may be exercised in whole or in part.

9.2    An Award in the form specified in Rule 2.10.1 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 an Award certificate covering at least all the Shares

over which the 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

20

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

to be exercised, unless the Grantor determines that a different exercise procedure

should apply.

9.3    If any conditions must be fulfilled before an Award may vest or be exercised, the

delivery of the certificate shall not be treated as effecting the exercise of an Award

unless and until the Grantor (or, where the Committee is not the Grantor, the

Committee) is satisfied that the conditions have been fulfilled. The Grantor (or,

where the Committee is not the Grantor, the Committee) shall state whether the

conditions have been fulfilled to its satisfaction as soon as practicable following the

expiry of any performance period over which the fulfilment of conditions was to be

measured or where a performance period is not relevant within 14 days of receipt of

the documentation referred to above.

9.4    The effective date of exercise shall be the later of the date of delivery of the notice

of exercise and the date that the Grantor (or, where the Committee is not the

Grantor, the Committee) states that the conditions imposed by Rule 2.4 have been

fulfilled, if applicable. For the purposes of this Plan a notice of exercise shall be

deemed to be delivered when it is received by the Company.

9.5    There shall be no consideration payable upon the Vesting or exercise of an Award.

14.1(d)(ii)

9.6    In the event that any Tax Liability becomes due on the vesting or exercise of an

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:

9.6.1    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

9.6.2    the Participant has paid to the Relevant Company an amount equal to the Tax

Liability; or

9.6.3    the Grantor determines otherwise.

21

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

receive dividends or dividend equivalents in respect of their Awards in such form as

the Grantor at its discretion determines including, without limitation, the following:

10.1.1  a discretionary cash payment paid to a Participant, which is equal in value to

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

would have been paid on an Award of actual Shares (equivalent to the

number of Shares in respect of which the Award vests) during the Award

Period and treating such dividends as having been re-invested in Shares at

the respective payment dates for the purposes of this calculation;

10.1.2  at the time the 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

an award of actual Shares (equivalent to the number of Shares in respect of

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

payment dates of the dividends which were paid during the Award Period.

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

under Rule 10.1 above in respect of an Award, the definition of “Award” shall be

where appropriate, interpreted in relation to such an Award to include such

additional option or Shares.

10.3   For the further avoidance of doubt, any cash or Shares awarded under this Rule 10

shall not count towards the individual limits in Rule 3.

11.1   Subject to Rule 11.3 Shares to be issued or transferred pursuant to the vesting or

exercise of an 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

Award. Shareholder rights in respect of the Shares will acquired upon this allotment

or transfer. 14.1(e)

11.2   Subject to Rule 11.3, 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

an Award within 30 days following the date of effective exercise of the Award, the

cost thereof being borne by the relevant Employer of the Participant, or the former

22

Employer in the event that the Participant is a Qualified Retiree, or the provisions of

4.3B apply.

11.3  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 2.5 above.

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

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

the Awards. 14.9(c)

11.5  Without prejudice to Rule 5.2, the Grantor, in its discretion, may determine at any

time that a Participant who is vested in or who exercises his Award in accordance

with Rules 4.2, 4.3, 4.4.1 or 4.5 of this Plan shall receive an amount in cash (rather

than Shares) equal to the Market Value of the Shares over which his Awards have

vested (as at the date of vesting) or his Awards are exercised (as at the date of

exercise).

11.6  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)

11.7  Without prejudice to Rule 10, 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)

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

allocated has been formally identified. 14.9(a)

11.9   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 Awards have vested or have been exercised.

14.9(b)

11.10 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.

23

12  ADJUSTMENTS

12.1  The number of Shares over which an Award is granted and the conditions of

vesting or exercise (and where an Award has vested or has been exercised but no

Shares have been allotted or transferred pursuant to such 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 Award and ensure that the value of the Award

immediately after the relevant event is substantially equivalent to the value of the

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

12.2  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)

12.3  Any adjustments made under Rule 12 will be reported on in the Company’s annual

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

12.4  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 12. 14.3(c)

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

notify Participants of any adjustment made under this Rule 12 and to call in, cancel,

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

13.1   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

24

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.

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

normally sent by the Company to the holders of Shares.

13.3  In the case of partial exercise of an 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 Award was granted.

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

evidence being provided as the Grantor may require.

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

least sufficient to satisfy all Awards under which Shares may be subscribed or the

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

Awards under which Shares may be acquired.

13.6   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.

13.7  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.

13.8   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.

14  ALTERATIONS

14.1   Subject to Rules 14.2 and 14.4, 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.

appropriate);14.1(e)

14.2.8  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)

14.2.9  the terms of this Rule 14.2;

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

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 under the Plan. 14.2

14.3   Rule 14.2 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.

14.4   No alteration or addition shall be made under Rule 14.1 which would materially

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

26

14.4.1  with the consent in writing of such number of Participants as hold Awards

under the Plan to acquire 75 per cent of the Shares which would be issued or

transferred if all Awards granted and subsisting under the Plan were vested or

exercised; or

14.4.2  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 14.4 the provisions of the Articles of Association of

the Company relating to shareholder meetings shall apply mutatis mutandis.

14.5  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan other than Rule 14.1 and 14.2 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.

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

Rule 14.1, the Board shall give written notice thereof to any Participant materially

affected thereby.

14.7  No alteration to the Plan under this Rule 14 shall require the consent of any person

unless expressly provided in the Rules.

15  LEGAL ENTITLEMENT

15.1  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:

15.1.1  the lapsing of any Award pursuant to the Plan;

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

27

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

reason whatsoever.

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

purposes.

15.3   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

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

relation to any Award, the Plan or any instrument executed pursuant to it.

15.4   The benefit of this Rule 15 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

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

benefit of this Rule 15 to any such company.

16.1   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

give affect thereto.
