23.6.1.1. the Trustees shall act in accordance with the Board’s directions (determined in its sole discretion) so as to ensure that:

23.6.1.1.1. the Company’s BEE credentials shall not be adversely impacted; and

23.6.1.1.2.2. excluding from the ambit of the Repurchase Right, any of the assets covered (directly or indirectly) by the Repurchase Right or assets resulting from the Corporate Action which should be included as part of the Repurchase Right so as to preserve the value of the Repurchase Right,

provided that to the extent that any such direction could relieve the Company of any of its obligations in terms of this Trust Deed or constitute the unilateral determination by the Company of the terms or scope of the Repurchase Right, the Trustees shall not implement that direction, but in that regard only, any adjusted terms or scope (by the inclusion as the subject matter of the Repurchase Right of any of the Other Assets) of the Repurchase Right (other than the necessary adjustments to the Repurchase Formula which shall be dealt with in accordance with clause 23.6.1.2), shall not impact upon the fundamental basis of the transactions contemplated in this Trust Deed, and shall be determined by an independent expert agreed by the Company and the Trustees (and failing agreement between them within 48 (forty eight) hours of suggestion by the Company, as determined by the President from time to time of the Law Society of the Northern Provinces (or its successor body)). The independent expert shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator and his decision shall be final and binding on the Company and the Trustees and shall be implemented instead of such direction by the Board. His costs shall be borne by the Company;

23.6.1.2. after any determination by the independent expert as contemplated in clause 23.6.1.1, the Auditors shall, using such determination, adjust the Repurchase Formula in such manner as they, acting as experts and not as arbitrators, shall determine. Their decision shall be final and binding;

23.6.1.3. no exercise by the Company of its discretion nor any determination by the independent expert or the Auditors shall be fettered by the provisions of the Trust Deed including the manner in which the Corporate Actions contemplated in clauses to 23.1 to 23.5 have been dealt with.

23.6.2. Notwithstanding that the proceeds of an unbundling may be a dividend for the purposes of tax law, the proceeds of an unbundling shall not be treated as a dividend for the purposes of this Trust Deed.

23.7. Reorganisation of Shares

If the Shares are reorganised or consolidated or subdivided in any way, then the number of Scheme Shares in respect of which Vested Rights are granted or are intended to be granted to Eligible Employees under this Trust Deed shall be adjusted by the Auditors to reflect such reorganisation in such manner as they, acting as experts and not as arbitrators, shall determine. Their decision shall be final and binding.

23.8. Company and Subsidiaries entitled to Dispose of Assets

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Trust Deed, no provision of this Trust Deed shall prevent the Company from disposing of any of its subsidiaries or relinquishing control thereof, or of any of the Company or its subsidiaries from disposing of their business at any time.

24. FINAL DATE

The Board may from time to time and by notice in writing to the Trustees determine an earlier Final Date and is entitled, in its discretion, to withdraw any such notification whereupon the previous Final Date shall be reinstated.

25. GENERAL PROVISION APPLICABLE TO THE DISTRIBUTION OF ENTITLEMENT ASSETS TO BENEFICIARIES

25.1. On the Distribution Date, the Trustees shall deliver to the Company the relevant share certificate as well as a signed share transfer form in respect of the Scheme Shares and other shares forming part of the Entitlement Assets, in order to enable the Company to effect the registration of transfer of same into the name of the Employee Beneficiary concerned and the Company shall register such transfer accordingly.

25.2. Each Employee Beneficiary shall be liable for the Specific Taxation and Expenses arising from the distribution and/or realisation of his/her Entitlement Assets in terms of the provisions of this Trust Deed.

25.3. Each Employee Beneficiary entitled to Entitlement Assets shall by not later than such date as the Trustees may, by notice in writing to Employee Beneficiaries, determine, which shall be before any distribution of Entitlement Assets is effected, notify the Trustees if he requires the Trustees, after ownership has passed to him of such Entitlement Assets, as his agent and on his behalf, to realise all or sufficient of his Entitlement Assets in order to discharge

his liability to pay the Specific Taxation and Expenses attributable to him. If an Employee Beneficiary exercises this right, he grants the Trustees an irrevocable power of attorney to act as his agent, with power of substitution.

25.4. Should an Employee Beneficiary fail to notify the Trustees within the permitted period that he requires the Trustees to realise some or all of his Entitlement Assets on his behalf, such Employee Beneficiary shall make payment to the Trustees prior to the transfer of the Entitlement Assets to him in cash of the amount of Specific Taxation and Expenses attributable to such Employee Beneficiary, failing which the Trustees shall, after ownership of his Entitlement Assets has passed to him, realise on his behalf so many of his Entitlement Assets as are necessary for such purpose. Any proceeds of such realisation remaining after discharging the Specific Taxation and Expenses attributable to such Employee Beneficiary shall be paid to the Employee Beneficiary concerned.

25.5. The Residual Beneficiary grants the Trustees an irrevocable power of attorney to act as his agent, with power of substitution, to realise on its behalf sufficient of any Scheme Shares and Other Assets, and where applicable, Consideration Shares, to be distributed to it in order to discharge its liability to pay the Specific Taxation and Expenses attributable to it.

25.6. In order for the Trustees to procure the sale of the Scheme Shares on behalf of any Beneficiary, the procedure to be followed by the Trustees in connection therewith shall be determined by the Board, which may, inter alia, prescribe:

25.6.1. which broker shall be instructed to sell the Scheme Shares;

25.6.2. the frequency and periods of time allotted for the sale of large tranches of Scheme Shares; and

25.6.3. if appropriate, the method of averaging, between Employee Beneficiaries, sale prices of Scheme Shares sold in the event that the Trustees sell Scheme Shares on behalf of more than 1 (one) Employee Beneficiary during any given period.

26. MEDIATION

If any dispute arises between any of the parties in regard to the carrying into effect of any of the parties’ rights and obligations arising from this Trust Deed, such parties agree to negotiate with each other in good faith in an effort to resolve such dispute. If such negotiations fail or do not occur within 3 (three) days after the dispute arises, the dispute shall not become the subject of litigation or arbitration until it has been heard by a mediator unless such action is critical to avoid the prescription of a cause of action or right at law or in order to obtain an interdict, or otherwise to limit any material damage to such party’s interests. Such dispute shall be referred to mediation before a mediator within 3 (three) days after the dispute arises if the good faith negotiations have not resulted in the

resolution of the dispute. The mediator shall be appointed by the parties or failing agreement by them as to the mediator, shall be nominated by the chairperson for the time being of Alternative Dispute Resolution Association of South Africa (or its successor body). The mediation shall terminate upon any one of the disputants withdrawing or the mediator informing the disputants that in the mediator’s opinion, no useful purpose will be achieved in continuing the mediation. All communications made by the disputants to the mediator or to each other during or in connection with the mediation are made without prejudice to any rights which they may have and form part of bona fide settlement negotiations. The mediator shall not be compelled by any disputant to disclose any fact learnt in the course of the mediation in any subsequent legal proceedings which may take place and the parties waive their right to require the mediator to testify regarding what transpired in the mediation. The mediator shall:

26.1.1. be entitled to communicate and meet with any disputant either in the presence of the other disputant/s or in private;

26.1.2. not disclose any information furnished in confidence by any one disputant to the mediator, to any other disputant without the prior consent of the disputant who furnished the information;

26.1.3. act impartially and disclose to the disputants any relationship or dealings which the mediator may have had with any of the disputants;

26.1.4. not make any decision which is binding upon the disputants, the resolution of the dispute depending entirely upon the disputants achieving agreement in respect thereof;

26.1.5. decide and certify if, in the event that the parties are unable to reach agreement on a issue referred to him, whether the specific dispute is, on a reasonable assessment of the nature and scope thereof, sufficiently material to require arbitration thereof.

27.1.5. this Trust Deed, or on any matter which in terms of this Trust Deed requires agreement by the parties, (other than where an interdict is sought or urgent relief may be obtained from a court of competent jurisdiction), shall be submitted to and decided by arbitration provided that the mediator referred to in 26 above has certified that the dispute is sufficiently material to require arbitration thereof.

27.2. That arbitration shall be held :

27.2.1. with only the parties and their representatives (including their legal representatives), present thereat;

27.2.2. at Johannesburg or Sandton.

27.4. Save as expressly provided in this Trust Deed to the contrary, the arbitration shall be subject to the arbitration legislation for the time being in force in South Africa.

27.5. The arbitrator shall be an impartial senior counsel of not less than 10 (ten) years standing appointed by the parties or, failing agreement by the parties within 14 (fourteen) days after the arbitration has been demanded, at the request of either of the parties shall be nominated by the Chairman for the time being of the Johannesburg Bar Association (or its successor body in Gauteng). If that person fails or refuses to make the nomination, either party may approach the High Court of South Africa to make such an appointment. To the extent necessary, the court is expressly empowered to do so.

27.6. The parties shall keep the evidence in the arbitration proceedings and any order made by any arbitrator confidential unless otherwise contemplated herein.

27.7. The arbitrator shall be obliged to give his award in writing fully supported by reasons.

27.8. The provisions of this clause are severable from the rest of this Trust Deed and shall remain in effect even if this Trust Deed is terminated for any reason.

Schedule C – REPURCHASE FORMULA

RS =

Where:

RS = Number of Repurchase Shares

N = Number of Subscription Shares subscribed for by the Trust

P1 = R366,00

R = Escalation factor of 11,5% divided by 2 (“Escalation Factor”)

T1 = Number of periods of 6 months (full or partial) from Commencement Date to date of Repurchase

D = Sum of the future values of E, calculated as amount of E in any period, escalated at the Escalation Factor for the number of periods (full or partial) from date of the dividend receipt to the date of Repurchase

E = the difference between the dividend received by the Trust on any 1 Subscription Share compared to the dividends (including extraordinary dividends but excluding proceeds from an unbundling) received on an ordinary Share held by Sasol shareholders, multiplied by the number of Subscription Shares held by the Trust on that date

V = The number of Shares which were the subject of a previous exercise of the formula multiplied by the 30 day VWAP of a Share on such date, escalated at the Escalation Factor for the number of periods (full or partial) from date of the previous exercise of the formula to the date of the current Repurchase

P2 = 30 day VWAP of a Share on the date of Repurchase

In the event of any corporate action, the formula will be adjusted appropriately, if required.
