Dear Sirs,

Joint Venture Agreement dated 16 July 2009 between AngloGold Ashanti Limited and Randgold Resources Limited relating to Kibali Goldmines SA (formerly Kibali Goldmines SPRL) (the “Kibali JVA”)

Words and expressions used but not defined in this letter shall, unless otherwise stated, have the meanings given to them in the Kibali JVA, and references to clauses are to clauses of the Kibali JVA.

In consideration of the mutual covenants herein, the parties to the Kibali JVA (the “Parties”) have agreed pursuant to clause 32.3 to amend the Kibali JVA (a conformed copy of which (excluding Schedule 1) is included in the Appendix to this letter) as set out in this letter with effect from the date of Randgold Resources Limited’s acknowledgment of the terms of this letter.

The final sentence of clause 8.2 (“The Parties agree that...Non-Operating Party”) shall be deleted and replaced with:

“The Parties agree that the posts of General Manager/Chief Executive Officer (“Directeur Général”), the Chief Operating Officer (“Directeur de I’Exploitation”) and the Chief Financial Officer (“Directeur Financier”) of Kibali shall be recommended by the Operating Party subject to the approval of the Kibali Board. AngloGold shall have the right to request that the Chief Financial Officer (“Directeur Financier”) of Kibali be removed if it considers it necessary (acting reasonably) and within a reasonable period of such request the Company shall procure that the Chief Financial Officer (“Directeur Financier”) is so removed.”.

Clause 8.3 shall be deleted in full and replaced with the following new clause 8.3:

“The Parties further agree that if the Company is at any time entitled to appoint more than three directors to the Kibali Board, the fourth director appointed to the Kibali Board shall be proposed by the Non-Operating Party, the fifth director appointed to the Kibali Board shall be proposed by the Operating Party and any additional directors appointed

	to the Kibali Board shall be proposed by the Non-Operating Party and the Operating Party, alternating for each additional director.”

3.	After clause 8.3 there shall be added the following, as a new clause 8.3A: “The Parties further agree that if the Company is at any time entitled to recommend nominees to fill more than three executive committee posts, the Operating Party shall recommend nominees to fill such additional executive posts subject to the approval of the Kibali Board.”

4.	In clause 13.3.24 the words “and/or dismissal” shall be deleted.

5.	Clauses 17.4, 17.5 and 17.6 shall be deleted in their entirety, and any references to those clauses shall be ignored and shall have no effect.

6.	After clause 17.3 there shall be added the following, as a new clause 17.4:

“17.4

If:

	17.4.1	there is a Change of Control of a Party, or if applicable an Affiliate of a Party, pursuant to clause 23.17A in either case that is the then current Operator; or

	17.4.2	the Operator ceases to be controlled by AngloGold or RRL (as the context requires) pursuant to clause 23.17A;

then the Non-Operating Party (or one of its Affiliates) shall have the right to immediately become the Operator without compensation to the then existing Operator.”

7.	After clause 23.17 there shall be added the following, as a new clause 23.17A:

“23.17A

Clauses 23.17.2 and 23.18 shall not apply (and any guarantee given pursuant to clause 23.17.3 shall cease to apply) if, at the time the relevant transferee and its subsidiaries (the “Transferee Group”) cease to be members of the AngloGold Group or the Randgold Group, as the case may be:

	23.17A.1	an undertaking or guarantee in relation to the AngloGold Group’s or Randgold Group’s payment obligations under this Agreement is provided on terms reasonably satisfactory to AngloGold or RRL (as the case may be) by the ultimate parent undertaking of the Transferee Group;

	23.17A.2	the net asset value of the Company and its subsidiaries does not constitute more than 50 per cent. of the net asset value of the Transferee Group; and

	23.17A.3	the ultimate parent undertaking of the Transferee Group is or will be listed on a recognised stock exchange other than the main market of the London Stock Exchange, the Transferee Group has provided

AngloGold or RRL, as the case may be, at its reasonable request, and in all other circumstances in which the Transferee Group will cease to be members of the AngloGold Group or Randgold Group, as the case may be, the Transferee Group has provided AngloGold or RRL, as the case may be, with a working capital report from an internationally recognised firm of accountants which states that the Transferee Group will be able to meet all of its payment obligations as contemplated by the then current budget of Kibali or its subsidiaries for at least a two year period from the date of such proposed transfer. The provisions of this clause 23.17.3 do not apply where the ultimate parent undertaking of the Transferee Group is or will be listed on the main market of the London Stock Exchange.

If this clause 23.17A applies in relation to a transfer under clause 23.17 (i) by a member of the AngloGold Group; or (ii) by a member of the Randgold Group, references in this agreement to AngloGold or RRL, as the case may be, shall be read as references to the ultimate parent undertaking of the Company following such transfer.”

Clauses 27 to 33 shall apply mutatis mutandis to this letter. The Parties have also agreed to make any cross-referencing amendments to the Kibali JVA consequent on the amendments set out in paragraphs 1 to 7 above.

The Parties agree to work together and use their reasonable endeavours to effect any changes that might be required to the articles of association of Kibali Goldmines SA and/or the 2014 Restated Contract of Association consequent on the amendments set out in paragraphs 1 to 7 above.

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:

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

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);

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

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.

22.1

In the event that the Percentage Interest of either Party is 35% or less as a result of failure to fund one or more Called Sums and the resulting exercise of the Dilution Option by the Non-Defaulting Party, such Party (the “Selling Party”) hereby irrevocably grants to the other Party (the “Acquiring Party”) the right to acquire and to require the Selling Party to sell to the Acquiring Party all but not less than all of the shares in and claims against the Company owned by the Selling Party for cash (the “Call Option”).

The Call Option may be exercised by the Acquiring Party by providing written notice to the Selling Party and the Operator at any time in the 30 day period beginning on the date on which the Selling Party’s Percentage Interest was 35% or less. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Selling Party shall be obligated to sell all of its shares in and claims against the Company (the “Minority Interest”) to the Acquiring Party as promptly as practicable.

Either Party shall have the absolute right to sell or otherwise dispose of or alienate or transfer its shares in and claims against the Company provided that such sale, disposal, alienation or transfer is conducted in accordance with the provisions of this clause 23.

In connection with any potential sale, disposal, alienation or transfer of its shares in or claims against the Company, either Party shall have the right to provide confidential information about the Company, Kibali and the Project to any potential third party acquiror or transferee provided that such third party acquiror or transferee enters into an appropriate confidentiality agreement with the Company on no less restrictive terms than as provided in the form annexed hereto as Schedule 2.

23.3

Neither Party shall be entitled to dispose of any of its shares in the Company unless it shall, in one and the same transaction dispose of all of its shares in and all of its claims (in the form of shareholder loans) against the Company.

23.4

If either of the Parties (the “Seller”) intends to sell or otherwise dispose of or alienate or transfer its shares in and its claims against the Company (the “Interest”), the Seller shall in good faith approach and deliver to the other Party (the “Offeree”) a written notice (the “Sale Notice”) stating:

23.4.1

such intention to dispose of its Interest; and

23.4.2

that it is willing to sell the Interest to the Offeree for consideration wholly in cash at the price (the “Initial Offer Price”) specified in the Sale Notice (the “Initial Offer”).

23.5

The Initial Offer Price shall be determined by the Seller, acting reasonably and in good faith in anticipation of the value it anticipates to realise for the Interest and based on the most recently approved Life of Mine Plan and the Seller’s view, in its sole discretion, of the potential upside of the Project, the gold price and economic parameters.

23.6

The Offeree may, at any time within 30 days following the receipt of the Sale Notice, irrevocably accept the Initial Offer contained in the Sale Notice in full and not in part only by giving written notice to that effect to the Seller, but subject to obtaining all necessary regulatory or third party approvals or consents. The Seller and the Offeree shall, within a period to be mutually agreed between the Seller and the Offeree acting reasonably, following the irrevocable acceptance by the Offeree of the Initial Offer, and in any event as promptly as practicable, complete the purchase and sale of the Interest for the cash consideration specified in the Sale Notice, which completion shall include the delivery of the Interest by the Seller to the Offeree together with a share transfer form and an assignment (if applicable) of the loan accounts, duly signed by the Seller as transferor and assignor and left blank as to transferee and assignee, against payment of the purchase price in an amount equal to the cash consideration specified in the Sale Notice in the form of cleared funds received in the Seller’s bank accounts. Such period may be extended by mutual agreement of the Parties, acting reasonably, in the event of unforeseen circumstances. The Offeree shall undertake all commercially reasonable endeavours to obtain all necessary regulatory or third party approvals or consents as specified in its acceptance of the Initial Offer as promptly as practicable.

23.7

During the 30 day period referred to in clause 23.6 the Initial Offer shall be irrevocable. The Offeree shall not be entitled to withdraw its acceptance of the Initial Offer following its acceptance thereof, but the obligation to complete the purchase of the Interest shall be subject to obtaining all necessary regulatory or third party approvals or consents within the period as agreed between the Seller and the Offeree in accordance with clause 23.6.

23.8

If the Offeree rejects or does not accept the Initial Offer in full within 30 days of the receipt of the Sale Notice, or if the Offeree fails to complete the purchase of the Interest within the period mutually agreed between the Seller and the Offeree following the irrevocable acceptance by the Offeree of the Initial Offer, as referred to in clause 23.6 (other than in the event of unforeseen circumstances, in which case the Parties may mutually agree, acting reasonably, to extend the period as per clause 23.6), the Seller shall be entitled to seek offers to acquire the Interest at any time in the 180 day period commencing on the date that Offeree rejects the Initial Offer (the “Sale Period”) from any third party acquiror.

23.9

If the Seller elects to sell the Interest in the Sale Period, it shall, no later than the 180th day of the Sale Period, deliver to the Offeree a written notice (the “Update Notice”) stating:

23.9.1

that the Seller has received one or more irrevocable cash offers (which offers may be subject only to obtaining all necessary regulatory or third party approvals or consents and financing) from one or more unidentified third party acquirors for the Interest (each, an “Offer”). An Offer shall include an irrevocable undertaking by the third party acquiror that it shall as a condition of the acquisition execute a Deed of Adherence confirming that such third party acquiror will be bound by this Agreement as a Party;

23.9.2

the cash purchase price range for the Interest, setting out the cash value of each Offer received (the “Cash Purchase Price Range”), and

23.9.3

the date (which shall be 30 days from the date of the Update Notice) on which it will deliver to the Offeree a written notice confirming its final acceptance of an Offer subject to clause 23.11 (the “Final Notice”).

23.10

The Seller shall be required to revise any Update Notice between the date of serving such initial Update Notice to the Offeree and the date of providing the Final Notice to the Offeree should there be any revision in the Cash Purchase Price Range.

23.11

The Seller shall be entitled to deliver the Final Notice to the Offeree at any time within the Sale Period, provided that an Update Notice has been delivered to the Offeree at least 30 days prior to the delivery of the Final Notice. The Final Notice shall state:

23.11.4

that the Offer is fully financed or such funding is fully guaranteed, subject only to receipt of all necessary regulatory or third party approvals and consents, which may include shareholder approval, all approvals required within the Democratic Republic of the Congo for the acquisition of the Interest and other regulatory approvals (to be obtained within the period referred in to in clause 23.14) and the Offeree rejecting the Final Offer; and

The Offeree shall undertake all commercially reasonable endeavours to obtain all necessary regulatory or third party approvals and consents as specified in its acceptance of the Final Offer as promptly as practicable.

23.13

During the 10 Business Day period referred to in clause 23.12 the Final Offer shall be irrevocable.

If the Offeree accepts the Final Offer but does not complete the purchase of the Interest within the period as agreed between the Seller and the Offeree in accordance with clause 23.12 (other than in the event of unforeseen circumstances, in which case the Parties may mutually agree, acting reasonably, to extend the period as per clause 23.12), then the Seller shall be entitled to sell the Interest to a third party acquiror for a cash consideration without further recourse to the Offeree under the provisions of this clause 23.

23.14

If the Offeree rejects or does not accept the Final Offer in full within the 10 Business Day period referred to in clause 23.12, the Seller shall be entitled to sell the Interest to the Third Party Purchaser. The Seller and the Third Party Purchaser shall, within a period to be mutually agreed between the Seller, the Third Party Purchaser and the Offeree acting reasonably, following the rejection by the Offeree of the Final Notice and in any event as promptly as practicable, complete the purchase by the Third Party Purchaser, and sale by the Offeree, of the Interest for the consideration specified in the Final Notice, which completion shall include the delivery of the Interest by the Seller to the Third Party Purchaser together with a share transfer form and an assignment (if applicable) of the loan accounts, duly signed by the Seller as transferor and assignor and left blank as to transferee and assignee, against payment by the Third Party Purchaser of the purchase price in an amount equal to the cash consideration specified in the Final Notice in the form of cleared funds received in the Seller’s bank accounts and delivery of the Deed of Adherence to the Offeree. Such period may be extended by mutual agreement of the Parties, acting reasonably, in the event of unforeseen circumstances. The Third Party Purchaser and the Seller shall undertake all commercially reasonable endeavours to obtain all necessary regulatory and third party approvals or consents as specified in its Final Offer per clause 23.11.4 as promptly as practicable.

23.15

If the Third Party Purchaser fails to complete the purchase of the Interest within the period mutually agreed between the Seller, the Third Party Purchaser and the Offeree acting reasonably as referred to in clause 23.14 (other than in the event of unforeseen

circumstances, in which case the Parties may mutually agree, acting reasonably, to extend the period), the sale process set out in this clause 23 shall be terminated.

23.16

The Offeree agrees, and the Parties agree that they shall procure the Company, the Operator and, to the extent possible, Kibali, to fully cooperate with, and shall not disrupt or act in any way to adversely influence, any sale process initiated by the Seller in accordance with the terms of this clause 23. The Parties further agree that the sale process will be conducted in good faith and in a manner that will minimize site visits to the Project and disruption to the normal business of Kibali.

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.
