Dear Jason and Tony:

 

Further to our recent discussions, Centerra Gold Inc. (“we” or “Centerra”) has advised each of RGLD Gold AG (“RGLD”) and Royal Gold, Inc. (“Royal Gold” and, together with RGLD, “RG”), that we intend to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Thompson Creek Metals Company Inc. (“TCM”) (the “Acquisition”) pursuant to an arrangement agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) between Centerra and TCM. Centerra will hold TCM through a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary (“AcquireCo”).

 

This commitment letter, together with the term sheet attached hereto as Schedule “A” (the “Term Sheet”) is hereinafter referred to as the “Commitment Letter”.

 

The Term Sheet sets forth certain binding understandings of Centerra with each of RGLD and Royal Gold, with regard to the amendment and continuation (the “RGLD Amendment”), as described in the Term Sheet together with such other changes as may be necessary to effect the Term Sheet, of the Amended and Restated Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated December 14, 2011 (as further amended, the “Stream Agreement”) between Terrane Metals Corp. (“Terrane”), RGLD, and, solely in respect of certain provisions of the Stream Agreement as set forth therein, Royal Gold and TCM, relating to the Mt. Milligan copper-gold mine, located in British Columbia, and owned by Terrane (the “Project”).

 

RGLD, acknowledging that Centerra is entering into this Commitment Letter in reliance thereon, hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth on Annex 1 hereto, with respect to RGLD.

 

Royal Gold, acknowledging that Centerra is entering into this Commitment Letter in reliance thereon, hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth on Annex 2 hereto, with respect to Royal Gold.

 











 

Centerra, acknowledging that RG is entering into this Commitment Letter in reliance thereon, hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth on Annex 3 hereto.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Term Sheet, RGLD, Royal Gold and Centerra commit to take (or cause to be taken), simultaneously with the closing of the Acquisition, all necessary steps to consummate the RGLD Amendment, effective upon the closing of the Acquisition.

 

On or prior to the closing of the RGLD Amendment, RGLD shall execute and deliver a satisfactory intercreditor agreement (the “Intercreditor Agreement”) with Terrane and The Bank of Nova Scotia, substantially in the form and on the terms of the intercreditor agreement dated as of November 29, 2012 entered into among JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., RGLD and Terrane (the “Existing Intercreditor Agreement”) reflecting the amendment contemplated by the RGLD Amendment and the $325m financing contemplated between The Bank of Nova Scotia and AcquireCo. As a statement of principle, RGLD hereby confirms its satisfaction with the substance of the Existing Intercreditor Agreement provisions pertaining to lien priority and subordination, enforcement, standstill and waivers, disposition and application of proceeds of senior collateral and asset dispositions in an insolvency proceeding and that such provisions shall in substance be incorporated into the Intercreditor Agreement (except that RGLD shall obtain a first priority security interest in its copper interest as described in the Term Sheet).

 

Prior to the consummation of the RGLD Amendment, Centerra shall, upon becoming aware of any one of the following, promptly notify RG (it being understood that Centerra shall satisfy its notice obligations in this paragraph in respect of a particular matter if it publicly discloses such matter): (i) the occurrence, or failure to occur, of any event that the occurrence or failure of which has caused or could reasonably be expected to result in Centerra’s failure to satisfy any condition specified herein (including the Term Sheet); (ii) any failure of Centerra to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement set out in the Term Sheet to be complied with or satisfied prior to the consummation of the RGLD Amendment; (iii) any written notice or other communication from any governmental authority in connection with the RGLD Amendment; and (iv) any material litigation, legal action, arbitration, proceeding, mediation, demand, claim or investigation (collectively, “Legal Proceedings”) commenced or, to the knowledge of Centerra, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting Centerra that relate to the consummation of the Acquisition or the RGLD Amendment.

 

Prior to the consummation of the RGLD Amendment, RG shall promptly disclose its knowledge of the following to Centerra: (i) the occurrence, or failure to occur, of any event that the occurrence or failure of which has caused or could reasonably be expected to result in RG’s failure to satisfy any condition specified herein (including the Term Sheet); (ii) any failure of RG to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied prior to consummation of the RGLD Amendment; (iii) any written notice or other communication from any governmental authority in connection with the RGLD Amendment; and (iv) any Legal Proceedings commenced or, to the knowledge of RG, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting RG that relate to the consummation of the RGLD Amendment.

 

The obligations of the parties under this Commitment Letter shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the closing of the RGLD Amendment, (ii) November 30, 2016 (or such later date as Centerra and RG may agree), (iii) the date of the termination of the Arrangement Agreement or abandonment of the Acquisition, and (iv) the date, if any, on which the shareholders of TCM decline to approve the Acquisition.

 











 

The existence and terms and conditions of this Commitment Letter will be publicly disclosed as part of the public announcement of the Acquisition.

 

This Commitment Letter is a binding agreement of the parties. This Commitment Letter shall be subject to and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. This Commitment Letter may not be amended or waived except by an instrument signed by each of the parties. Each party agrees that monetary damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Commitment Letter and that, in addition to all other remedies available under applicable law, any party will be entitled to specific performance and to injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach. This Commitment Letter may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together will be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Commitment Letter by facsimile (or other electronic) transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof, as the case may be. Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses associated with this Commitment Letter and any negotiation, preparation and execution of the definitive documentation for the RGLD Amendment and the Intercreditor Agreement.

 

Subject to and without derogating from the binding nature of this Commitment Letter, nothing in this Commitment Letter shall: (i) limit RG’s rights and remedies under the Stream Agreement or its related security in any manner; or (ii) prevent RG from exercising (including asserting, protecting and enforcing) their rights and remedies under the Stream Agreement.

 

From the date hereof until the earlier of the termination of this Commitment Letter and the closing of the RGLD Amendment: (i) neither RG nor any of its Affiliates shall, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate, or encourage any inquiries, proposals or offers from, discuss or negotiate with, provide any non-public information to, or consider the merits of any inquiries or proposals from, or enter into any agreement with, any person (other than Centerra) relating to the obligations of TCM and its Affiliates under the Stream Agreement (including any amendments to, or the termination of, the Stream Agreement); and (ii) RG shall promptly notify Centerra in writing if any person makes any inquiry, proposal or offer relating to the obligations of TCM and its Affiliates under the Stream Agreement (including any amendments to, or the termination of, the Stream Agreement).

 

If you are in agreement with the terms and conditions set out herein (including the Term Sheet), kindly execute and return to Centerra a copy of this Commitment Letter as evidence of your acceptance of the foregoing not later than 3:00 p.m., Toronto time, on July 5, 2016.
