	11.2		The Parties acknowledge that, in accordance with the Kibali JVA, Kibali will be funded by the Company via intercompany loans.

	11.3		Based upon the Annual Budget approved by the Company Board and any Approved Programme, the Operator shall submit, on or before the tenth day of each month to each Party a current cash estimate for the next ensuing month for Kibali, which cash estimate must be in accordance with policies, procedures and instructions approved by the Company Board and must show:

11.3.1

separately the estimated cash disbursements which the Operator will be required to make during the relevant month for (i) Capital Costs and (ii) Operating Costs;

11.3.2

the extent, if any, to which such disbursements will be satisfied by cash on hand after allowing for any cash balance predicted to be on hand at the end of the previous month; and

11.3.3

the share of such amounts which each Party will be required to pay to the Company, to then be advanced by the Operator from the Company, directly or indirectly, to Kibali (collectively, a “Called Sum”), and the date or dates on which the Operator requires the same to be paid to the Company (the “Due Date”).

	11.4		The Operator may from time to time, by not less than five Business Days’ notice to each Party, call upon the Parties to make payment to the Company, pro-rata in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests in the Company, of any other expenditure of the Company in relation to Kibali for which no provision is made in the Annual Budget approved by the Company Board or any Approved Programme to enable the Company to meet any cost or other liability relating to the Project, the payment of which is authorised in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, that the aggregate of any such expenditures in any given Financial Year shall not exceed US$ 5 million without the prior approval of the Company Board. Each Party must pay to the Company, to then be advanced by the Operator from the Company, directly or indirectly, to Kibali, the amounts payable by it pursuant to this clause 11.4 by the date or dates (the “Due Date”) specified by the Operator (which must be not less than five Business Days after the date of the notice), and each such amount will also constitute a “Called Sum” for the purposes of this Agreement.

	11.5		The Parties agree that any Called Sums paid to the Company may be funded by way of non-interest bearing shareholder loan or by way of equity contribution, in the sole discretion of the Party providing such funding to the Company. All shareholder loans provided by the Parties shall rank pari passu unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing.

	11.6		Without limiting any other express provision of this Agreement, each Party will bear all costs incurred by it in representing its own interests in respect of the Company.

12. DEFAULT

12.1

Subject to the provisions of this clause 12, each Called Sum remaining unpaid on the date (the “Default Date”) which is five Business Days after the Due Date, together with the amounts prescribed in clause 12.2, will:

12.1.1

constitute a debt due and payable to the Company by the Party obligated to pay that Unpaid Called Sum (the “Defaulting Party”); and

12.1.2

be recoverable by the Company or by the Operator for the benefit of the Company (without prejudice to any other means of enforcement available to the Company or the Operator) in any court of competent jurisdiction.

12.2

Where an Unpaid Called Sum remains unpaid by a Defaulting Party on and after the relevant Default Date under clause 12.1, the total amount due and payable by the Defaulting Party will also include interest payable to the Company calculated on the Unpaid Called Sum at Libor plus 4% from the Due Date up to and including the date upon which the Called Sum is paid under clause 12.3 or until the default in payment is remedied, such interest to be calculated on a daily basis and compounded calendar monthly (“Called Sum Interest”).

	12.3		When a Party defaults in the payment of a Called Sum and the default remains unremedied on or after the Default Date, the Operator shall promptly give notice of the default to the Chief Financial Officer of the Defaulting Party. The Non-Defaulting Party must, within 30 days after the Default Date pay the Unpaid Called Sum to the Company. Should the Unpaid Called Sum remain unpaid 20 days after the Default Date in respect of a Called Sum, the Operator will provide a further final notice of the default to the Chief Financial Officer of the Defaulting Party on such date.

	12.4		Any amount paid by a Non-Defaulting Party in accordance with clause 12.3, together with interest on that amount, constitutes a debt due and payable to that Non-Defaulting Party by the Defaulting Party and, without prejudice to any other means of recovery available to the Non-Defaulting Party, may be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

	12.5		For the purposes of clause 12.4, interest will be calculated at Libor plus 4% from the date on which a Non-Defaulting Party makes payment in accordance with clause 12.3 up to and including the date on which the default in respect of such Unpaid Called Sum is remedied, such interest to be calculated on a daily basis and compounded calendar monthly.

	12.6		For the avoidance of doubt, where all or part of a default in the payment of a Called Sum remains unremedied for 30 days after the Default Date, the Non-Defaulting Party can exercise the Dilution Option (in accordance with clause 12.7).

	12.7		If, at the end of the period of 30 days after the Default Date in respect of a Called Sum, a default by the Defaulting Party in the payment of the whole or any part of an Unpaid Called Sum remains unremedied, the Non-Defaulting Party will, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to it, have the option to elect, in accordance with this clause 12.7, that the Percentage Interest of the Defaulting Party in the Company be reduced (in accordance with the mechanism set forth in clause 12.11) by an amount determined by reference to the Non-Defaulting Party’s Percentage Interest in the Company in accordance with this clause 12.7 (the “Dilution Option”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Dilution Option will apply by reference to the Fair Value of the Percentage Interest in the Company of the Defaulting Party, as determined in accordance with clause 12.16. If the Non-Defaulting Party exercises the Dilution Option in accordance with this clause 12.7, any debt due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Party or to the Company by the Defaulting Party shall be immediately discharged and no longer due and payable.

	12.8		The Dilution Option may only be exercised during the period of 30 days commencing on the date that is 30 days after the relevant Default Date by notice given to the Defaulting Party and the Operator (a “Dilution Notice”).

	12.9		If a Non-Defaulting Party gives a Dilution Notice under clause 12.8, the Percentage Interest of the Defaulting Party in the Company will be reduced in accordance with clause 12.10 on the Dilution Date, irrespective of whether the relevant default or defaults by the Defaulting Party have been remedied after the giving of that notice.

12.10

If the Non-Defaulting Party gives a Dilution Notice under clause 12.8, then, with effect on and from the final day of the month in which the latest possible Dilution Notice may be given in respect of the relevant Unpaid Called Sum (the “Dilution Date”), the Defaulting Party’s Percentage Interest in the Company will, subject to clause 12.13 through clause 12.15, be reduced to a Percentage Interest determined in accordance with the following formula:

where:

	E		is the Defaulting Party’s Percentage Interest in the Company immediately after the reduction;

	F		is the Defaulting Party’s Percentage Interest in the Company immediately before the reduction (disregarding for purposes of this variable (i) all Unpaid Called Sums in respect of which the Dilution Notice has been issued and any subsequent Called Sums which, as at the Dilution Date, are due and payable by the Defaulting Party, and (ii) all corresponding Called Sums paid or, as at the Dilution Date, due and payable by the Non-Defaulting Party);

	G		is the Fair Value of the Defaulting Party’s shares in and claims against the Company immediately before the reduction (disregarding for purposes of this variable (i) all Unpaid Called Sums in respect of which the Dilution Notice has been issued and any subsequent Called Sums which, as at the Dilution Date, are due and payable by the Defaulting Party, and (ii) all corresponding Called Sums paid or, as at the Dilution Date, due and payable by the Non-Defaulting Party); and

	H		is the total of all Unpaid Called Sums in respect of which the Dilution Notice has been issued and any subsequent Called Sums which, as at the Dilution Date, are due and payable by the Defaulting Party, along with all associated Called Sum Interest.

12.11

Subject to clause 12.13 through clause 12.15, on the Dilution Date, the Parties shall cause (and shall take all actions required to cause, including approving an increase in the authorized share capital of the Company if necessary) the Company to issue such number of additional shares of the Company (for an amount equal to their aggregate nominal value and rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares) to the Non-Defaulting Party as causes the Percentage Interest of the Non-Defaulting Party that has exercised the Dilution Option to be increased by an amount equal to the amount that the Percentage Interest of the Defaulting Party is reduced, as determined by the formula set forth in clause 12.10.

12.12

The Parties acknowledge that, notwithstanding any other provision of this clause 12, the shareholding in the Company of the Defaulting Party may only be reduced in accordance with clause 12.7 through clause 12.11 if the

Defaulting Party was the recipient of the original call or request for payment from the Operator in respect of the relevant Called Sum.

	12.13		Where dilution is to occur pursuant to clause 12.7 through clause 12.12, the Called Sums which would have been payable by the Defaulting Party, and all other amounts which were included in the determination of variable “H” in the application of clause 12.10, will, save to the extent already paid pursuant to clause 12.3, be payable to the Company by the Non-Defaulting Party that has exercised the Dilution Option, such payment to be effected on or within three Business Days following the Dilution Date.

	12.14		For the avoidance of doubt, any increase in the Percentage Interest of a Non-Defaulting Party pursuant to clause 12.11. and the corresponding reduction in the Percentage Interest of the Defaulting Party, is only effective upon satisfaction by the Non-Defaulting Party of the payment obligations set out in clause 12.13.

	12.15		Subject to clause 12.13. effective from a Dilution Date, the obligations of a Party to pay Called Sums falling due after such Dilution Date will be measured by reference to its Percentage Interest as increased or reduced on that Dilution Date.

	12.16		Where a determination of the fair value in respect of a Party’s interest in the Company is required (a “Fair Value”), the following provisions will apply:

12.16.1

Each Party will, within ten Business Days, determine (A) its own valuation of the Company (being the value of the assets of the Company net of all liabilities of the Company other than shareholder loans provided to the Company by the Parties) based on the Life of Mine Plan, excluding any Unpaid Called Sums and (B) its estimate of each Party’s Fair Value. Fair Value will be determined as the sum of (Y) each Party’s equity interest in the Company (determined by the value of the Company, as described in sub-clause (A) above, less all shareholder loans provided to the Company by the Parties and multiplied by the relevant Party’s Percentage Interest) and (Z) all shareholder loans provided to the Company by the relevant Party.

12.16.2

Each Party will provide its own estimate of the Fair Value to the other Party at the end of this ten Business Day period. If the two valuations are within 10% of each other, the “Fair Value” shall be the arithmetic mean of the two valuations.

12.16.3

If either Party’s estimate of Fair Value is 110% or greater of the other Party’s valuation, the Parties shall promptly jointly appoint an independent, appropriately qualified independent valuer (who shall be a “suitably qualified and experienced independent expert” for the purposes of the recommendations for the consistent implementation of the European Commission’s Regulation on Prospectuses no 809/2004 published by the Committee of European Securities Regulators

			and who, in any event, shall be appropriately qualified from both a technical and a financial standpoint) for the purposes of making the determination of Fair Value (a “Valuer”).

	12.16.4		If the Parties cannot agree on a Valuer, either may request the President of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales to nominate one Valuer and must use all reasonable endeavours to procure the nomination and appointment of the Valuer within 30 days of making the request to the President of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.

	12.16.5		For purposes of clause 12.10, the Fair Value will be determined as at immediately before the reduction as described in the definition of “G”, and, for purposes of clause 22.3, the Fair Value will be determined as at the first day of the month following the appointment of the Valuer.

	12.16.6		In determining his valuation the Fair Value, the Valuer:

	12.16.6.1		may consult with the Parties, which will provide the Valuer with all the information he may reasonably require;

	12.16.6.2		may consult with experts on the market for gold and the mineral products to be or being produced by the Parties and who are engaged in making price forecasts on a regular basis, and may also consult other experts as he thinks fit;

	12.16.6.3		will be entitled to rely in good faith upon the opinions of any experts or other persons so consulted;

	12.16.6.4		will value the Company based solely on the basis of a discounted cash flow analysis based on (i) the Life of Mine Plan most recently approved by the Company Board and the Kibali Board; (ii) the simple arithmetic average of gold price forecasts, as stated in US$ per ounce terms for each calendar year of the Life of Mine Plan, as most recently published, prior to the date the Fair Value is to be determined, by internationally recognised gold analyst firms that cover senior producing gold companies and that provide forecast gold prices, for the first three years including the year that the Fair Value is determined, as well as a real long term gold price forecast. (For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties will each select 10 gold analyst firms for the purposes of determining the simple arithmetic average from these 20 gold price forecasts and determine such arithmetic average by using the gold price forecasts presented or translated on consistent, i.e. real or nominal, monetary terms and the long term gold price forecast shall be deemed effective for all years

			subsequent to the third year gold price forecast published by each gold analyst firm); (iii) a real discount rate of 5 per cent; and (iv) valuation principles established by the Joint Ore Reserves Committee (JORC);

	12.16.6.5		must make his determination independently and without consultation with any other valuer (other than any expert referred to in clause 12.16.6.2); and

	12.16.6.6		will act as an expert and not as an arbitrator.

	12.16.7		The determination of the Valuer, and the resultant determination of the Fair Value, will be final and binding on the Parties.

	12.16.8		The Parties will instruct the Valuer to complete his valuation within 30 days of the date of his appointment, and to deliver a copy of the valuation to each Party by no later than the end of that 30 day period.

	12.16.9		The fees and expenses of the Valuer will be borne equally by the Parties.

3.4		The return of Confidential Information by the Recipient and/or its Affiliates and their Agents to the Disclosing Party shall not release the Recipient from its obligations under this agreement.

3.5		The Recipient acknowledges that it is aware that certain documents comprising Confidential Information contain confidentiality clauses. If such documents are made available to the Recipient for the purpose of considering the Transaction, then the Recipient undertakes to the Selling Shareholder and the Disclosing Party to use all reasonable endeavors not to undertake any act which would result in the Disclosing Party and/or its Affiliates being in breach of such confidentiality clauses (other than the use of such information for the purposes referred to in this agreement and the disclosure of it to other persons in accordance with this agreement).

4.		AUTHORISED CONTACTS

4.1		The Recipient undertakes that it and its Agents will not directly or indirectly (unless the Disclosing Party has given prior written consent) approach, initiate, engage or have any contact of any kind with:

	4.1.1		any officer, employee, director, shareholder, consultant, adviser, bank, supplier, customer or sub contractors of the Disclosing Party or any of its Affiliates, in any case in connection with the Transaction or the Confidential Information; or

	4.1.2		any person at the operations or properties owned or occupied by the Disclosing Party or any of its Affiliates without the prior written consent of, and subject to the terms and conditions as specified by, the Disclosing Party; or

	4.1.3		any other person in circumstances that are likely to give rise to knowledge that the Transaction is being contemplated.

4.2		All requests by the Recipient for Confidential Information from the Disclosing Party or general enquiries relating to the Transaction should be made to [•] (or to such other persons as the Disclosing Party may nominate from time to time) and to no other person.

5.		NON-SOLICITATION

The Recipient agrees that without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party, neither it nor any of its Affiliates will for a period of one year from the date on which the discussions and/or negotiations between the parties in respect of and/or in connection with the Transaction shall have finally terminated, directly or indirectly solicit for employment any person who is employed by the Disclosing Party or any of its Affiliates or in respect of and/or in connection with such transaction, as of the date hereof or at any time hereafter and prior to the termination of discussions between the parties with respect to the Transaction; provided, however, that the term “solicit for employment” shall not be deemed to include general solicitations of employment not specifically directed toward employees of the Disclosing Party or any of its Affiliates.

6.		PERMITTED DISCLOSURE

6.1		Nothing in this agreement shall prohibit disclosure to the extent that such disclosure is compelled by law, rule or regulation, including by way of example and not by way of limitation, any rules or other requirements of any relevant stock exchange or of any government department or agency or other relevant regulatory requirements or by any order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

6.2		If the Recipient determines that, by reason of any of the matters referred to in paragraph 6.1, it is or may be required to make any announcement or other disclosure as to any matter within the scope of this agreement, it will use its reasonable endeavours promptly to give written notice to the Selling Shareholder and the Disclosing Party of the information the Recipient proposes to disclose (being the minimum amount of information consistent with satisfying the Recipient Party’s obligations), with a view to the Selling Shareholder and the Disclosing Party consenting, to the extent practicable, to the timing and content of such announcement or disclosure.

6.3		If the Recipient determines that, by reason of any of the matters referred to in paragraph 6.1, it is or may be required (by deposition, interrogatories, requests for information or documents in legal proceedings, subpoenas, civil investigative demand or other similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, the Recipient agrees that it shall provide the Selling Shareholder and the Disclosing Party with prompt written notice of such request or requirement in order to afford the Selling Shareholder and the Disclosing

Party a reasonable opportunity either to seek an appropriate remedy to prevent such disclosure, to take steps to resist or narrow the scope of such disclosure or to waive compliance, in whole or in part, with the provisions of this agreement. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or that the Selling Shareholder and the Disclosing Party waive compliance, in whole or in part, with the terms of this agreement, the Recipient or its Agents, as the case may be, will:

	6.3.1		disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information which the Recipient is advised by written opinion of outside counsel, that it is legally required to disclose; and

	6.3.2		use its reasonable endeavours to ensure that all Confidential Information so disclosed will be accorded confidential treatment.

6.4		The Recipient shall take such steps as the Selling Shareholder and the Disclosing Party may reasonably require for the purpose contemplated by paragraphs 6.2 and 6.3, provided that nothing in this paragraph 6 shall prevent the Recipient from making such disclosure if notice has been given and the Recipient has taken all such steps as aforesaid, but the Selling Shareholder or the Disclosing Party is incapable of preventing or has failed to prevent such disclosure or (as the case may be) refused to waive such compliance and the Recipient or its Agents is or are still so compelled to make disclosure. Nothing contained herein shall obligate the Recipient, in attempting to comply with the aforesaid provisions of this paragraph 6, to assume any risk of sanction, penalty or other loss of any sort as determined in the reasonable opinion of its counsel.

7.		ACCURACY OF INFORMATION

Except as set forth in a definitive agreement in respect of the Transaction, neither the Selling Shareholder, the Disclosing Party, nor any of their respective Affiliates, nor their Agents make any representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information as provided by the Disclosing Party, its Affiliates or their Agents to the Recipient (and, in particular, makes no representation or warranty as to the achievement or reasonableness of any management estimates, prospects or forecasts which may form part of such Confidential information) and the Disclosing Party shall have no obligation to update or correct any inaccuracies in any Confidential Information which may be provided to the Recipient, and the Recipient irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that neither the Selling Shareholder, the Disclosing Party, nor any of their respective Affiliates, nor their Agents shall have any liability to the Recipient, its Affiliates or their Agents resulting from the use of such Confidential

Information and waives any right to rescission and/or to claim damages for any misrepresentation contained herein or therein unless made fraudulently. The Recipient moreover acknowledges and agrees that nothing contained in such Confidential Information constitutes or shall be construed as constituting any representation or warranty by the Selling Shareholder, the Disclosing Party and/or their respective Affiliates or their respective Agents as to the accuracy or completeness thereof or any statement or other matter contained therein.

8.1

the Selling Shareholder, the Disclosing Party and their respective Affiliates would be irreparably harmed by a breach of any of the provisions of this agreement;

8.3

8.6

its obligations under this agreement shall continue in accordance with the terms hereof notwithstanding any decision which it may take to terminate the discussions or negotiations related to the Transaction as referred to in this agreement.

AFFILIATES AND AGENTS

The Recipient will ensure that its Affiliates and their Agents (whether an individual, body corporate or adviser) to whom any Confidential Information is disclosed is aware of and adheres to the terms of this agreement as if he, she or it were a party hereto. The Recipient shall be responsible for any breach of any of the terms of this agreement by

the Recipient or by any of its Affiliates and their Agents. The Recipient shall procure that its Affiliates and their Agents comply with its obligations hereunder and any action by any of them shall be treated as the Recipient’s action for the purposes of this agreement.

10.

NO WAIVER

11.

DURATION

Unless otherwise stated, all the obligations of the Recipient, its Affiliates and Agents, in terms of this agreement shall terminate eighteen (18) months from the date on which the discussions and/or negotiations between the parties in respect of and/or in connection with the Transaction shall have finally terminated.
