Dear Sirs:




Randgold Resources Limited and Moto Goldmines Limited




We refer to:





	1.	 	the arrangement agreement dated June 1, 2009 as amended June 26, 2009 among Moto Goldmines
Limited (“Moto”), Red Back Mining Inc. (“Red Back”) and 0853143 B.C. Ltd. (the “Red Back

	2.	 	the draft arrangement agreement between Moto, Randgold Resources Limited (“Randgold”) and a
subsidiary of Randgold yet to be incorporated in British Columbia (“Subco”) in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Proposed Randgold Agreement”); and






	3.	 	the draft voting agreement proposed to be entered into between Randgold and the directors and
officers of Moto in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Voting Agreement”).




Randgold hereby offers (the “Offer”) to acquire Moto on the terms and conditions of the Proposed
Randgold Agreement, with bulleted items having been completed with up-to-date information as
required and agreed between the parties, acting reasonably, as of the close of business on the last
business day prior to acceptance by Moto of this Offer (the “Definitive Agreement”), on the basis
set out below.



We understand that the board of directors of Moto (the “Board”) will be meeting at 1 p.m. BST today
to consider, among other things, whether the Proposed Randgold Agreement constitutes a “Superior
Proposal” as such term is defined in the Red Back Agreement. We further understand that if the
Board makes such determination, pursuant to section 7.3.1 of the Red Back Agreement, Moto will
provide Red Back with written notice that the Board has determined, subject only to compliance with
section 7.3 of the Red Back Agreement, to approve and enter into a definitive agreement with
Randgold in the form of the Proposed Randgold Agreement and Moto will then issue a news release
advising of the Board’s determination and of the




 









 





 2



postponement of the meeting of Moto shareholders presently scheduled for 10 a.m. (Pacific Time) on
July 30, 2009 to 4 p.m. (Pacific Time) on August 5, 2009. It is our expectation that the news
release will be issued prior to 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) today, failing which, this Offer will
immediately terminate.



Under the terms of the Red Back Agreement and for the purposes of this letter, the “Response
Period” (as such term is defined in the Red Back Agreement) will commence upon the notice referred
to above being given to Red Back and will expire at one minute after 11:59 pm (Vancouver time) on
Tuesday, August 4, 2009.



This Offer is open for acceptance by Moto only until 12 hours after the Red Back Expiry Time (as
such term is defined below), unless extended by Randgold, in its sole discretion, in writing (the
“Offer Expiry Time”).



Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this letter, Randgold has the right to revoke, rescind
or otherwise immediately terminate this Offer upon notice to Moto if at any time following the
execution and delivery of this letter and prior to entering into the Definitive Agreement (i) there
shall have occurred any event, occurrence, development or circumstance that, individually or in the
aggregate has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as such term
is defined in the Proposed Randgold Agreement) on Moto, or (ii) there shall be enacted or made any
applicable Law (as such term is defined in the Proposed Randgold Agreement) that makes entering
into the Proposed Randgold Agreement or consummation of the transactions thereunder illegal or
otherwise prohibited or enjoins Moto or Randgold from entering into the Proposed Randgold Agreement
or consummation of the transactions thereunder and such applicable Law (if applicable) or
enjoinment shall have become final and non-appealable.



Moto may accept the Offer at or prior to the Offer Expiry Time by signing a copy of this letter and
returning it to Randgold by email (the “Acceptance Notice”), together with a copy of the Definitive
Agreement with bulleted items for Moto information completed as of the close of business of the
last business day immediately preceding the date of the Acceptance Notice.



Within two hours of receipt of the Acceptance Notice by Randgold, Randgold will deliver to Moto one
copy of the Definitive Agreement completed and signed by Randgold and Subco and Voting Agreements
signed by Randgold, as provided in the next paragraph. By delivering the Acceptance Notice to
Randgold, Moto shall be deemed to have undertaken to forthwith and in any event within two hours of
receipt of the Definitive Agreement and Voting Agreements execute and return to Randgold one copy
of the Definitive Agreement and copies of the Voting Agreements signed by Moto’s directors and
officers, on the condition that Randgold will have complied with its obligations in the immediately
preceding sentence.



Randgold irrevocably agrees that, upon receipt of the Acceptance Notice by the Offer Expiry Time,
Randgold will, within two hours of receipt of the Acceptance Notice:





	 	(a)	 	complete all bulleted items in the Definitive Agreement required to be
completed by Randgold with information as of the close of business of the last business
day immediately preceding the date of the Acceptance Notice;





 









 





 3





	 	(b)	 	execute, and deliver to Moto the Definitive Agreement and cause Subco to
execute and deliver to Moto the Definitive Agreement; and
	 
	 	(c)	 	execute and deliver to Moto a voting agreement substantially in the form of the
Voting Agreement with each of the directors and officers of Moto.




For the purposes of this letter agreement, the “Red Back Expiry Time” means the earliest of:





	 	(a)	 	the termination of the Red Back Agreement in accordance with its terms;
	 
	 	(b)	 	the expiry of the Response Period, if prior to the expiry of the Response
Period Red Back either (i) fails to offer to amend the Red Back Agreement; or (ii)
notifies Moto that it has determined not to offer to amend the Red Back Agreement; and
	 
	 	(c)	 	if Red Back offers, in accordance with the Red Back Agreement and prior to the
expiry of the Response Period, to amend the Red Back Agreement, the determination by
the Moto Board that, upon consideration of such proposed amendment, the Proposed
Randgold Agreement continues to be a Superior Proposal when assessed against such
proposed amendment.




Randgold requests that Moto immediately notify Randgold if Red Back notifies Moto that it has
determined not to offer to amend the Red Back Agreement.



Randgold consents to the delivery of a copy of the Proposed Randgold Agreement and the form of
Voting Agreement to Red Back and its counsel and financial advisors, as required by the Red Back
Agreement.



Yours truly,

	 	(l)	 	agree, resolve or commit to do any of the foregoing.





          Moto shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the current insurance (or

unless simultaneously with such termination, cancellation or lapse, replacement policies

reasonably requested by Randgold, adjust or modify the internal control and record keeping systems
of Moto and its subsidiaries with the goal of ensuring that, as of the Effective Time, those
systems are in compliance with laws applicable to companies with securities listed on a US exchange
with respect to preventing and detecting (i) any corrupt or illegal payments and (ii) the creation
of any inaccurate books or records that would disguise or otherwise facilitate such payments.










 



- 49  -




          Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this section 5.1, in connection with any
Termination Fee Event Moto may issue shares or incur debt if its directors determine in good faith
it is necessary to do so to pay the Termination Fee under this Agreement, provided that the funds
so raised are solely used for paying such Termination Fee.




5.2 Covenants of Moto Relating to the Arrangement




          Moto shall and shall cause its subsidiaries to perform all obligations required or desirable
to be performed by Moto or any of its subsidiaries under this Agreement, co-operate with Randgold
in connection therewith, and do all such other acts and things as may be necessary or desirable in
order to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated in this Agreement and, without

defer the separation time unless otherwise requested by Randgold;
	 
	 	(b)	 	promptly, and in any event within five business days following the date of

a copy of each confidentiality and/or standstill agreement which has been entered
into by Moto and any third party pursuant to which confidential information of Moto
has been provided;
	 
	 	(c)	 	on or immediately prior to the Effective Date or on such earlier date as
Randgold may request and as may be permitted, waive, suspend the operation of or

the Plan of Arrangement, it being understood that Moto will have no obligation to
take any such action until all other conditions to the Plan of Arrangement have been
satisfied or waived;
	 
	 	(d)	 	subject to obtaining confirmation that insurance coverage is maintained as
contemplated in Section 7.6.1, and provided that the Effective Date has occurred, it
shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to cause such members of the Moto Board
to resign as Randgold may require, at the time and in the manner requested by
Randgold, as of the Effective Date, with a nominee of Randgold to be appointed to the
Moto Board immediately after each such resignation;
	 
	 	(e)	 	apply for and use its best efforts to obtain all Key Regulatory Approvals
relating to Moto or any of its subsidiaries which are typically applied for by an
offeree and, in doing so, keep Randgold reasonably informed as to the status of the
proceedings related to obtaining the Key Regulatory Approvals, including providing
Randgold with copies of all related applications and notifications, in draft form
(except where such material is confidential in which case it will be provided
(subject to applicable Laws) to Randgold’s outside counsel on an










 



- 50  -


	 	 	 	“external counsel” basis), in order for Randgold to provide its comments thereon,
which shall be given due and reasonable consideration;
	 
	 	(f)	 	use its best efforts to obtain as soon as practicable following execution
of this Agreement all third party consents, approvals and notices required under any
of the Material Contracts, and all Key Third Party Consents;

Moto challenging or affecting this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby; and
	 
	 	(h)	 	allow representatives of Randgold (including legal and financial advisors)
to attend the Moto Meeting and allow officers of Randgold to speak to any motion
relating to the Arrangement Resolution.





5.3 Covenants of Randgold Regarding the Performance of Obligations



5.3.1 Randgold shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries to, perform all obligations required to be
performed by Randgold or any of Randgold’s subsidiaries under this Agreement, co-operate with Moto
in connection therewith, and do all such other acts and things as may be necessary or desirable in
order to consummate and make effective, as soon as reasonably practicable, the transactions
contemplated in this Agreement and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Randgold
shall and where appropriate shall cause its subsidiaries to:





	 	(a)	 	apply for and use its best efforts to obtain all Key Regulatory Approvals
relating to Randgold or any of Randgold’s subsidiaries which are typically applied
for by an offeror and, in doing so, keep Moto reasonably informed as to the status of
the proceedings related to obtaining the Key Regulatory Approvals, including
providing Moto with copies of all related applications and notifications in draft
form (except where such material is confidential in which case it will be provided
(subject to applicable Laws) to Moto’s outside counsel on an “external counsel”
basis), in order for Moto to provide its reasonable comments thereon;
	 
	 	(b)	 	subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and of the Plan of
Arrangement and applicable Laws, pay the aggregate Randgold Share Consideration,
Randgold ADS Consideration and Cash Consideration to be paid pursuant to the
Arrangement at the time provided herein and pay any amounts payable in respect of
Moto Options pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, either in cash or in Converted
Randgold Options, upon the transfer of such Moto Options to Moto for cancellation or
the conversion of such Moto Options into Converted Randgold Options, as the case may
be, pursuant to and in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement;
	 
	 	(c)	 	not take any action that is intended to, or would reasonably be expected
to, individually or in the aggregate, prevent, materially delay or materially impede















 





- 51 -





	 	 	 	the ability of Randgold to consummate the Arrangement or the other transactions
contemplated by this Agreement;
	 
	 	(d)	 	based upon the representation of Moto that the completion of the
Arrangement will constitute a “Change of Control” within the meaning of the OKIMO
Assignment, Randgold acknowledges that the amounts owing under the OKIMO Assignment
shall become payable in full within seven business days of the Effective Date.
Randgold agrees that it will make arrangements to provide Moto with sufficient funds
prior to the Effective Date to ensure that, following the Effective Date and
conditional upon the Effective Date occurring, the full amount of the Loan
Consideration outstanding under the OKIMO Assignment can be paid in accordance with
the OKIMO Assignment.




5.3.2 If, at any time prior to the Effective Date, Randgold effects a split, consolidation or other
alteration of the issued and outstanding Randgold Shares such that the Share Exchange Ratio, the
Randgold ADS Consideration, the Randgold Share Consideration and/or the Cash Consideration no
longer reflects the intention of the Parties in relation to the effect of the exchange of shares
and/or cash contemplated by the Arrangement, the Board of Directors of Randgold shall make such
adjustments to Share Exchange Ratio, the Randgold ADS Consideration, the Randgold Share
Consideration and/or the Cash Consideration and such other conforming changes that, in their sole
discretion and acting in good faith, they determine to be equitable in the circumstances.




5.4 Mutual Covenants




          Each of the Parties covenants and agrees that, except as contemplated in this Agreement,
during the period from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time and the
time that this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms:





	 	(a)	 	it shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable
efforts to satisfy (or cause the satisfaction of) the conditions precedent to its
obligations hereunder as set forth in Article 6 to the extent the same is within its
control and to take, or cause to be taken, all other action and to do, or cause to be
done, all other things necessary, proper or advisable under all applicable Laws to
complete the Plan of Arrangement, including using its commercially reasonable efforts
to: (i) obtain all Key Regulatory Approvals required to be obtained by it: (ii)
effect all necessary registrations, filings and submissions of information requested
by Governmental Entities required to be effected by it in connection with the Plan of
Arrangement; (iii) oppose, lift or rescind any injunction or restraining order
against it or other order or action against it seeking to stop, or otherwise
adversely affecting its ability to make and complete, the Plan of Arrangement; and
(iv) co-operate with the other Party in connection with the performance by it and its
subsidiaries of their obligations hereunder; in addition, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, none of the Parties shall knowingly take or cause to be
taken any action which would reasonably be










 



- 52 -


	 	 	 	expected to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby;
	 
	 	(b)	 	it shall not take any action, refrain from taking any commercially
reasonable action, or permit any action to be taken or not taken, which is
inconsistent with this Agreement or which would reasonably be expected to
significantly impede the making or completion of the Plan of Arrangement except as
permitted by this Agreement;
	 
	 	(c)	 	Moto shall effect such reorganization of its business, operations,
subsidiaries and assets or such other transactions (each, a “Pre-Acquisition
Reorganization”) as Randgold may reasonably request prior to the Effective Date, and
the Plan of Arrangement, if required, shall be modified accordingly; provided,
however, that Moto need not effect a Pre-Acquisition Reorganization which in the
opinion of Moto, acting reasonably: (i) would require Moto to obtain the prior
approval of the shareholders of Moto in respect of such Pre-Acquisition
Reorganization other than at the Moto Meeting; or (ii) would impede or materially
delay the consummation of the Arrangement. Without limiting the foregoing and other
than as set forth in clause (i) above, Moto shall use its best efforts to obtain all
necessary consents, approvals or waivers from any persons to effect each Pre-
Acquisition Reorganization, and Moto shall cooperate with Randgold in structuring,
planning and implementing any such Pre-Acquisition Reorganization. Randgold shall
provide written notice to Moto of any proposed Pre-Acquisition Reorganization at
least 10 business days prior to the date of the Moto Meeting. In addition:






	 	(A)	 	Randgold shall indemnify and save harmless Moto
and its subsidiaries’ respective officers, directors, employees,
agents, advisors and representatives from and against any and all
liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest awards,
judgments and penalties suffered or incurred by any of them in
connection with or as a result of any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization;
	 
	 	(B)	 	any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization shall not
become effective unless Randgold shall have waived or confirmed in
writing the satisfaction of all conditions in its favour in Section 6.1
and Section 6.2 and shall have confirmed in writing that it is prepared
to promptly without condition (other than the satisfaction of the
condition contemplated by Section 6.2(a) as it relates to the Pre-
Acquisition Reorganization) proceed to effect the Arrangement;
	 
	 	(C)	 	any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization shall not
unreasonably interfere in material operations prior to the Effective
Time of Moto or any of its subsidiaries;










 



- 53 -


	 	(D)	 	unless the Parties otherwise agree, any
Pre-Acquisition Reorganization shall not require any filings with,
notifications to or approvals of any Governmental Entity or third party
(other than such Tax rulings, and filing such Tax elections or
notifications and prefilings or pre-clearances with corporations
branches or similar Governmental Entities, as are necessary or
advisable in the circumstances);
	 
	 	(E)	 	any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization shall not
require Moto or any subsidiary to contravene any applicable Laws, their
respective organizational documents or any Material Contract; and
	 
	 	(F)	 	Moto and its subsidiaries shall not be
obligated to take any action that could result in any Taxes being
imposed on, or any adverse Tax or other consequences to, any
securityholder of Moto incrementally greater than the Taxes or other
consequences to such party in connection with the consummation of the
Arrangement in the absence of any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization.






	 	(d)	 	Randgold acknowledges and agrees that the planning for and implementation
of any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization shall not be considered a breach of any
covenant under this Agreement and shall not be considered in determining whether a
representation or warranty of Moto hereunder has been breached. Randgold and Moto
shall work cooperatively and use reasonable commercial efforts to prepare prior to
the Effective Time all documentation necessary and do such other acts and things as
are necessary to give effect to such Pre-Acquisition Reorganization. For greater
certainty, Moto shall not be liable for the failure of Randgold to benefit from any
anticipated tax efficiency as a result of a Pre- Acquisition Reorganization.





5.5 Employment Agreements




          Following the approval of the Arrangement Resolution, Randgold shall cause Moto to honour such
obligations, if any, under Moto’s employment agreements as are specifically disclosed in Schedule
5.5 of the Disclosure Letter, including, without limitation, by paying to the individuals party to
such agreements, in each case, such amounts as disclosed in Schedule 5.5 of the Disclosure Letter.




5.6 Randgold Guarantee




          Randgold hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the due and punctual performance by
Subco of each and every obligation of Subco arising under the Arrangement.

          The foregoing conditions will be for the sole benefit of Moto and may be waived by it in whole
or in part at any time.




6.4 Satisfaction of Conditions




          The conditions precedent set out in Section 6.1, Section 6.2 and Section 6.3 shall be
conclusively deemed to have been satisfied, waived or released at the Effective Time.




ARTICLE 7

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS




7.1 Notice and Cure Provisions




          Each Party will give prompt notice to the other of the occurrence, or failure to occur, at any
time from the date hereof until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement and the
Effective Time of any event or state of facts which occurrence or failure would, or would be likely
to:





	 	(a)	 	cause any of the representations or warranties of any Party contained
herein to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect on the date hereof or at
the Effective Time (provided that this paragraph (a) shall not apply in the case of
any event or state of facts resulting from actions or omissions of Moto which are
permitted or required by this Agreement); or
	 
	 	(b)	 	result in the failure to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or
agreement to be complied with or satisfied by any Party hereunder prior to the
Effective Time.





          Randgold may not exercise its rights to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section
8.2.1(c)(iii) and Moto may not exercise its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section
8.2.1(d)(iii) unless the Party intending to rely thereon has delivered a written notice to the
other Party specifying in reasonable detail all breaches of covenants, representations and
warranties or other matters which the Party delivering such notice is asserting as the basis for
the non-fulfillment or the applicable condition or termination right, as the case may be. If any
such notice is delivered, provided that a Party is proceeding diligently to cure such matter and
such matter is capable of being cured, no Party may terminate this Agreement until the expiration
of a period of fifteen business days from such notice, and then only if such matter has not been
cured by such date. If such notice has been delivered prior to the making of the application for
the Final Order, such application and such filing shall be postponed until the expiry of such
period. For greater certainty, in the event that such matter is cured within the time period
referred to herein without a Material Adverse Effect, this Agreement may not be terminated as a
result of the cured breach.

7.2 Non-Solicitation



7.2.1 Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 7.2, Moto shall not, directly or
indirectly, through any officer, director, employee, representative (including any financial or
other advisor) or agent of Moto or any of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Representatives”),
(i) solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage or facilitate (including by way of furnishing
information or entering into any form of agreement, arrangement or understanding) the initiation of
any inquiries or proposals regarding an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) participate in any discussions
or negotiations with any person (other than Randgold or any of its affiliates) regarding an
Acquisition Proposal, (iii) approve, accept, endorse or recommend, or propose publicly to accept,
approve, endorse or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal, (iv) accept or enter into or publicly
propose to accept or enter into, any agreement, understanding or arrangement or other contract in
respect of an Acquisition Proposal or (v) make a Change in Recommendation.



7.2.2 Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.2, Moto shall, and shall cause its
subsidiaries and Representatives to immediately cease and cause to be terminated any solicitation,
encouragement, discussion or negotiation with any persons conducted heretofore by Moto, its
subsidiaries or any Representatives with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, and, in connection
therewith, Moto will discontinue access to any of its confidential information (and not establish
or allow access to any of its confidential information, or any data room, virtual or otherwise) and
shall as soon as possible request, to the extent that it is entitled to do so (and exercise all
rights it has to require) the return or destruction of all confidential information regarding Moto
and its subsidiaries previously provided to any such person or any other person and will request
(and exercise all rights it has to require) the destruction of all material including or
incorporating or otherwise reflecting any material confidential information regarding Moto and its
subsidiaries. Moto agrees that, except as permitted Section 7.2.3 neither it nor any of its
subsidiaries, shall terminate, waive, amend or modify any provision of any existing confidentiality
agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal or any standstill agreement to which it or any of its
subsidiaries is a party (it being acknowledged and agreed that the automatic termination of any
standstill provisions of any such agreement as the result of the entering into and announcement of
this Agreement by Moto, pursuant to the express terms of any such agreement, shall not be a
violation of this Section 7.2.2) and Moto undertakes to enforce all standstill, non-disclosure,
non-disturbance, non-solicitation and similar covenants that it or any of its subsidiaries have
entered into prior to the date hereof.



7.2.3 Notwithstanding Sections 7.2.1 and 7.2.2 and any other provision of this Agreement or of any
other agreement between Randgold and Moto, if at any time following the date of this Agreement and
prior to obtaining the Securityholder Approval of the Arrangement Resolution at the Moto Meeting,
Moto receives a bona fide, written Acquisition Proposal that the Moto Board determines in good
faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel, constitutes or, if
consummated in accordance with its terms (disregarding, for the purposes of any such determination,
any term of such Acquisition Proposal that provides for a due diligence investigation), could
reasonably be expected to be a Superior Proposal, then Moto may, provided it is in compliance with
Sections 7.2.2 and 7.2.4:










 



- 59 -





	 	(a)	 	furnish information with respect to Moto and its subsidiaries to the person
making such Acquisition Proposal;
	 
	 	(b)	 	enter into, participate, facilitate and maintain discussions or
negotiations with, and otherwise cooperate with or assist, the person making such
Acquisition Proposal; and/or
	 
	 	(c)	 	waive any standstill provision or agreement that would otherwise prohibit
such person from making such Acquisition Proposal;




provided that Moto shall not, and shall not allow its Representatives to, disclose any non-public
information with respect to Moto to such person (i) if such non public information has not been
previously provided to, or is not concurrently provided to, Randgold; and (ii) without entering
into an agreement with such person substantially in the form of the Confidentiality Agreement
containing terms that are no more favourable to such person than those found in the Confidentiality
Agreement.



7.2.4 Moto shall promptly notify Randgold, at first orally and then in writing within 24 hours of
receipt of the Acquisition Proposal, in the event it receives an Acquisition Proposal following the
date of this Agreement, including the material terms and conditions thereof, and the identity of
the person or persons making the Acquisition Proposal, and shall include copies of any such
proposal, inquiry, offer or request, and a copy of any agreement entered into in accordance with
Section 7.3 hereof, or any amendment to any of the foregoing. Moto shall thereafter also provide
such other details of such proposal, inquiry, offer or request, or any amendment to any of the
foregoing, as Randgold may reasonably request. Moto shall keep Randgold fully informed as to the
status, including any changes to the material terms, of such proposal, inquiry, offer or request,
or any amendment to any of the foregoing, and shall respond promptly to all inquiries from Randgold
with respect thereto.



7.2.5 Subject to Section 7.3, at any time following the date of this Agreement and prior to
obtaining Moto Securityholder Approval, if Moto receives an Acquisition Proposal which the Moto
Board concludes in good faith constitutes a Superior Proposal, the Moto Board may, subject to
compliance with the procedures set forth in Section 8.2, terminate this Agreement to enter into a
definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal.



7.2.6 Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Moto Board from taking any action or
making a Change in Recommendation or from making any disclosure to any securityholders of Moto
prior to the Effective Time, if, in the good faith judgment of the Moto Board, after consultation
with outside legal counsel, failure to take such action or make such disclosure would be
inconsistent with the Moto Board’s exercise of its fiduciary duties or such action or disclosure is
otherwise required under applicable Law (including by responding to an Acquisition Proposal under a
directors’ circular or otherwise as required under Securities Laws); provided that, for greater
certainty, in the event of a Change of Recommendation and a termination by Randgold of this
Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2.1(c)(i), but not including a termination by Randgold pursuant to
Section 8.2.1(c)(i) where the Change in Recommendation resulted from the occurrence of an Material
Adverse Effect with respect to Randgold, Moto shall








 



- 60 -


pay the Termination Fee as required by Section 7.4. In addition, subject to the provisions of this
Section 7.2 and Section 7.3, nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent Moto or the Moto
Board from calling and holding a meeting of Moto Shareholders, or any of them, requisitioned by
Moto Shareholders, or any of them, in accordance with the BCBCA or ordered to be held by a court in
accordance with applicable Laws.




7.3 Right to Match



7.3.1 Moto covenants that it will not accept, approve, endorse, recommend or enter into any
agreement, understanding or arrangement in respect of a Superior Proposal (other than a
confidentiality and standstill agreement permitted by Section 7.2.3) unless:





	 	(a)	 	Moto has complied with its obligations under Section 7.2 and has provided
Randgold with a copy of the Superior Proposal; and
	 
	 	(b)	 	a period (the “Response Period”) of five business days has elapsed from the
date that is the later of (x) the date on which Randgold receives written notice from
the Moto Board that the Moto Board has determined, subject only to compliance with
this Section 7.3, to accept, approve, endorse, recommend or enter into a definitive
agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, and (y) the date Randgold receives
a copy of the Superior Proposal.




7.3.2 During the Response Period, Randgold will have the right, but not the obligation, to offer to
amend this Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement, including an increase in, or modification of, the
aggregate consideration. The Moto Board shall review any such offer by Randgold to amend this
Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement to determine whether the Acquisition Proposal to which
Randgold is responding would continue to be a Superior Proposal when assessed against the
Arrangement as it is proposed in writing by Randgold to be amended. If the Moto Board determines
that the Acquisition Proposal no longer constitutes a Superior Proposal, the Moto Board will cause
Moto to enter into an amendment to this Agreement with Randgold incorporating the amendments to the
Agreement and Plan of Arrangement as set out in the written offer to amend, and will promptly
reaffirm its recommendation of the Arrangement and by the prompt issuance of a press release to
that effect. If the Moto Board determines that the Acquisition Proposal continues to be a Superior
Proposal, Moto may approve and recommend that holders of Moto Shares accept such Superior Proposal
and may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2.1(d)(i) in order to accept or enter into
an agreement, understanding or arrangement to proceed with the Superior Proposal.



7.3.3 Each successive amendment to any Acquisition Proposal that results in an increase in, or
modification of, the consideration (or value of such consideration) to be received by the holders
of the Moto Shares shall constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for the purposes of this Section 7.3
and Randgold shall be afforded a new Response Period and the rights afforded in paragraph 7.3.2 in
respect of each such Acquisition Proposal.

7.4 Expenses and Termination Fees



7.4.1 Except as otherwise provided herein, all fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with
this Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement shall be paid by the Party incurring such fees, costs or
expenses except:





	 	(a)	 	in the event this Agreement is terminated by Randgold pursuant to Section
8.2.1(e), then Randgold shall promptly, but in no event later than five business days
following the request by Moto, pay the reasonable charges and expenses actually
incurred by Moto in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement (upon being
provided with supporting invoices), and the transactions contemplated hereby, subject
to a maximum of $2,000,000, as reimbursement to Moto payable by wire transfer of same
day funds; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	in the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.2.1(b)(i)
solely due to any failure:






	 	(1)	 	by Randgold to file, or provide to Moto for filing, on SEDAR
the Randgold Technical Reports in a form, determined by Randgold, acting
reasonably, that can be filed in accordance with NI 43-101;
	 
	 	(2)	 	by Randgold to provide Moto with all information referred to in
Section 2.4(c) to be provided by Randgold as is required to be included in the
Moto Circular pursuant to Securities Laws;
	 
	 	(3)	 	of the Randgold Shares or the Randgold ADSs to be issued by
Randgold pursuant to the Arrangement to be admitted to listing on the official
list of the UK Listing Authority or to trading on the London Stock Exchange
plc, or NASDAQ, as applicable, provided that Moto has promptly provided upon
request all such financial and other information regarding Moto as may be
required in order to achieve such admission, or
	 
	 	(4)	 	by Randgold to perform any of its obligations under Section
5.3.1(b),






	 	 	 	then Randgold shall promptly, but in no event later than five business days
following the request by Moto, pay the Red Back Termination Fee, as reimbursement
to Moto payable by wire transfer of same day funds; or
	 
	 	(c)	 	in the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.2.1(e),
then Randgold shall promptly, but in no event later than five business days following
the request by Moto, pay the Red Back Termination Fee, as reimbursement to Moto
payable by wire transfer of same day funds.




7.4.2 If a Termination Fee Event occurs, Moto shall pay Randgold (by wire transfer of immediately
available funds) the Termination Fee in accordance with Section 7.4.5.










 



- 62 -



7.4.3 For the purposes of this Agreement, “Termination Fee” means US$14,627,300.00.



7.4.4 For the purposes of this Agreement, “Termination Fee Event” means the termination of this
Agreement:





	 	(a)	 	by Randgold pursuant to Section 8.2.1(c)(i), (except where the Change in
Recommendation which has led to the termination pursuant to Section 8.2.1(c)(i) was
made solely because the Board of Directors of Moto, acting in good faith, determined
that a change, effect, event or occurrence had taken place that constituted a
Material Adverse Effect on Randgold and that, as a consequence, it would be
inconsistent with the Board’s fiduciary obligations to continue to recommend that
Moto Securityholders vote in favour of the Arrangement), Section 8.2.1(c)(iv) or
Section 8.2.1(c)(vi);
	 
	 	(b)	 	by Moto pursuant to Section 8.2.1(d)(i); or
	 
	 	(c)	 	by Randgold pursuant to Section 8.2.1(b)(i), or Section 8.2.1 (c)(v) or by
either Party pursuant to 8.2.1(b)(iii), but only if, in the case of this paragraph
(c), prior to the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or the holding of the
Moto Meeting, following the date of this Agreement, a bona fide Acquisition Proposal,
or the intention to make an Acquisition Proposal, with respect to Moto shall have
been made to Moto or publicly announced by any person (other than Randgold or any of
its affiliates) and within six months following the date of such termination:






	 	(i)	 	an Acquisition Proposal is consummated by Moto; or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Moto and/or one or more of its subsidiaries enters into a
definitive agreement in respect of, or the Moto Board approves or recommends,
an Acquisition Proposal which is subsequently consummated at any time
thereafter;






	 	 	 	provided that, for the purposes of this Section 7.4.4(c), all references to “20%” in
the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” shall be deemed to be references to “50%”.




7.4.5 If a Termination Fee Event occurs due to a termination of this Agreement by Moto pursuant to
Section 8.2.1(d)(i), or by Randgold pursuant to Section 8.2.1(c)(i) or Section 8.2.1(c)(vi), the
Termination Fee shall be payable simultaneously with the occurrence of such Termination Fee Event.
If a Termination Fee Event occurs due to a termination of this Agreement by Randgold pursuant to
Section 8.2.1(c)(iv), the Termination Fee shall be payable within two business days following such
Termination Fee Event. If a Termination Fee Event occurs in the circumstances set out in Section
7.4.4(c), the Termination Fee shall be payable within two business days following the closing of
the applicable transaction referred to therein.










 



- 63 -



7.4.6 Each of the Parties acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 7.4 are an
integral part of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement and that, without those
agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement. Each Party acknowledges that all of
the payment amounts set out in this Section 7.4 are payments of liquidated damages which are a
genuine pre-estimate of the damages, which the Party entitled to such damages will suffer or incur
as a result of the event giving rise to such payment and the resultant termination of this
Agreement and are not penalties. Moto irrevocably waives any right it may have to raise as a
defense that any such liquidated damages are excessive or punitive. For greater certainty, each
Party agrees that, upon any termination of this Agreement under circumstances where Randgold is
entitled to the Termination Fee and such Termination Fee is paid in full, Randgold shall be
precluded from any other remedy against Moto at law or in equity or otherwise (including, without
limitation, an order for specific performance), and shall not seek to obtain any recovery,
judgment, or damages of any kind, including consequential, indirect, or punitive damages, against
Moto or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, officers, employees,
partners, managers, members, shareholders or affiliates in connection with this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby.



7.4.7 Nothing in this Section 7.4 shall relieve or have the effect of relieving any Party in any
way from liability for damages incurred or suffered by a Party as a result of an intentional or
willful breach of this Agreement.



7.4.8 Nothing in this Section 7.4 shall preclude a Party from seeking injunctive relief to restrain
any breach or threatened breach of the covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement or the
Confidentiality Agreement or otherwise to obtain specific performance of any such covenants or
agreements, without the necessity of posting bond or security in connection therewith.



7.4.9 In no event shall Moto be obligated to pay to Randgold an amount in respect of the
termination of this Agreement that is, in aggregate, in excess of the Termination Fee.




7.5 Access to Information; Confidentiality




          From the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this
Agreement, subject to compliance with applicable Law and the terms of any existing Contracts, Moto
shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries and their respective officers, directors, employees,
independent auditors, accounting advisers and agents to, afford to Randgold and AngloGold and to
their respective officers, employees, agents and representatives such access as Randgold may
reasonably require at all reasonable times, including for the purpose of facilitating integration
business planning, to their officers, employees, agents, properties, books, records and Contracts,
shall furnish Randgold and AngloGold with all data and information as Randgold may reasonably
request and shall cooperate with Randgold in securing access for Randgold and AngloGold to any
documents, agreements, corporate records or minute books not in the possession or under the control
of Moto. Randgold and Moto acknowledge and agree that information furnished to Randgold and
AngloGold pursuant to this Section 7.5 shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the
Confidentiality Agreement.










 



- 64 -




7.6 Insurance and Indemnification



7.6.1 Randgold will, or will cause Moto and its subsidiaries to, maintain in effect without any
reduction in scope or coverage for six years from the Effective Date customary policies of
directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing protection no less favourable to the
protection provided by the policies maintained by Moto and its subsidiaries which are in effect
immediately prior to the Effective Date and providing protection in respect of claims arising from
facts or events which occurred on or prior to the Effective Date; provided, however, that Randgold
acknowledges and agrees that prior to the Effective Date, Moto may, in the alternative, purchase
run off directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for a period of up to six years from the
Effective Date with the prior written consent of Randgold.



7.6.2 Randgold agrees that it shall directly honour all rights to indemnification or exculpation
now existing in favour of present and former officers and directors of Moto and its subsidiaries to
the extent that they are disclosed in Schedule 7.6.2 of the Disclosure Letter, and acknowledges
that such rights, to the extent that they are disclosed in Schedule 7.6.2 of the Disclosure Letter,
shall survive the completion of the Plan of Arrangement and shall continue in full force and effect
for a period of not less than six years from the Effective Date.



7.6.3 The provisions of this Section 7.6 are intended for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable
by, each insured or indemnified person, his or her heirs and his or her legal representatives and,
for such purpose, Moto hereby confirms that it is acting as agent and trustee on their behalf.
Furthermore, this Section 7.6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement as a result of the
occurrence of the Effective Date for a period of six years.

Effective Time to occur by such Outside Date; or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	after the date hereof, there shall be enacted or made any
applicable Law that makes consummation of the Arrangement illegal or otherwise
prohibited or enjoins Moto or Randgold from consummating the Arrangement and
such applicable Law (if applicable) or enjoinment shall have become final and
non-appealable; or
	 
	 	(iii)	 	the Arrangement Resolution shall have failed to obtain the
Moto Securityholder Approval at the Moto Meeting (including any adjournment or

warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of Moto
set forth in this Agreement (other than as set forth in Section 7.2) shall have
occurred that would cause the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 or Section
6.2 not to be satisfied, and such conditions are incapable of being satisfied
by the Outside Date; provided that Randgold is not then in breach of this
Agreement so as to cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 or
Section 6.3 not to be satisfied; or
	 
	 	(iv)	 	Moto is in breach or in default of any of its obligations or
covenants set forth in Section 7.2 other than an immaterial breach of Moto’s
obligation under Section 7.2 to provide notice of an Acquisition Proposal to
Randgold within a prescribed period; or
	 
	 	(v)	 	the Moto Meeting has not occurred on or before the later of (A)
October [5], 2009 [NTD: the date that is 60 days after the signing of this

	 	 	 	Agreement] and (B) the date that is 35 days after the date on which Randgold
provides Moto with all information referred to in section 2.4(c) to be
provided by Randgold as is required, as determined by Randgold, acting
reasonably, to be included in the Moto Circular pursuant to Securities Laws,
or such other date as the Parties may agree upon, each acting reasonably,
provided that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section
8.2.1(c)(v) shall not be available to Randgold if the failure by Randgold to
fulfill any obligation hereunder is the cause of, or results in, the failure
of the Moto Meeting to occur on or before such date; or
	 
	 	(vi)	 	the Moto Board authorizes Moto to enter into a binding written
agreement relating to a Superior Proposal; or






	 	(d)	 	by Moto, if:

to a Superior Proposal; provided that concurrently with such termination, Moto
pays the Termination Fee payable pursuant to Section 7.4; or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 or Section 6.3
is not satisfied, and such condition is incapable of being satisfied by the
Outside Date; or
	 
	 	(iii)	 	subject to Section 7.1, a breach of any representation or
warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of
Randgold set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred that would cause the
conditions set forth in Section 6.1 or Section 6.3 not to be satisfied, and
such conditions are incapable of being satisfied by the Outside Date; provided
that Moto is not then in breach of this Agreement so as to cause any of the
conditions set forth in Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 not to be satisfied; or






	 	(e)	 	by either Randgold or Moto in the event that Randgold is required by any
Governmental Authority, Securities Authority or Exchange to call and hold a meeting
of its shareholders to obtain their approval for the issuance of Randgold Shares or
Randgold ADSs pursuant to the Arrangement or any other aspect of the Arrangement and
such approval is not obtained at that meeting.

void and of no effect without liability of any Party (or any shareholder, director, officer,

Sections 7.4, 7.5, 9.3, 9.6 and 9.7 and the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement










 



- 67 -



(including any standstill provisions contained therein) shall survive any termination hereof
pursuant to Section 8.2.1; provided further that neither the termination of this Agreement nor
anything contained in this Section 8.2 shall relieve a Party from any liability arising prior to
such termination.




8.3 Amendment




          This Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement may, at any time and from time to time before or
after the holding of the Moto Meeting but not later than the Effective Time, be amended by mutual
written agreement of the Parties, and any such amendment may, subject to the Interim Order and the
Final Order and applicable Law, without limitation:





	 	(a)	 	change the time for performance of any of the obligations or acts of the
Parties;
	 
	 	(b)	 	waive any inaccuracies or modify any representation or warranty contained
herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto;
	 
	 	(c)	 	waive compliance with or modify any of the covenants herein contained and
waive or modify performance of any of the obligations of the Parties; and/or
	 
	 	(d)	 	waive compliance with or modify any mutual conditions precedent herein

8.4 Waiver




          Any Party may (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or acts of the

shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such Party and,
unless otherwise provided in the written waiver, will be limited to the specific breach or
condition waived; and provided further that, for the purposes of this Section 8.4, Subco and
Randgold shall be deemed to constitute one and the same Party.




ARTICLE 9

GENERAL PROVISIONS




9.1 Privacy




          Each Party shall comply with applicable privacy Laws in the course of collecting, using and
disclosing personal information about an identifiable individual (the “Transaction Personal
Information”). Randgold and Subco shall not disclose Transaction Personal Information to any
Person other than to its advisors who are evaluating and advising on the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement. If Randgold and Subco complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
Randgold and Subco shall not, following the Effective Date,









 



- 68 -


without the consent of the individuals to whom such Transaction Personal Information relates
or as permitted or required by applicable Law, use or disclose Transaction Personal Information:





	 	(a)	 	for purposes other than those for which such Transaction Personal
Information was collected by Moto prior to the Effective Date; and
	 
	 	(b)	 	which does not relate directly to the carrying on of Moto’s business or to
the carrying out of the purposes for which the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement were implemented.





          Randgold and Subco shall protect and safeguard the Transaction Personal Information against
unauthorized collection, use or disclosure. Randgold and Subco shall cause its advisors to observe
the terms of this Section and to protect and safeguard Transaction Personal Information in their

of Canada applicable therein. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably attorns to the exclusive

THIS AGREEMENT.




9.4 Injunctive Relief




          Subject to Section 7.4, the Parties agree that irreparable harm would occur for which money

It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or

other equitable relief hereby being waived.

9.6 Entire Agreement, Binding Effect and Assignment




          Randgold and Subco may assign all or any part of their rights under this Agreement to, and its
obligations under this Agreement may be assumed by, a direct or indirect subsidiary of Randgold,
provided that if such assignment and/or assumption takes place, Randgold shall continue to be
liable jointly and severally with such subsidiary for all of its obligations hereunder. This
Agreement shall be binding on and shall enure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective
successors and permitted assigns.




          This Agreement (including the exhibits and schedules hereto and the Disclosure Letter) and the
Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all other prior agreements
and understandings, both written and oral, between the Parties, or any of them, with respect to the
subject matter hereof and thereof and, except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement is not
intended to and shall not confer upon any person other than the Parties any rights or remedies
hereunder. Except as expressly permitted by the terms hereof, neither this Agreement nor any of
the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned by either of the Parties without the
prior written consent of the other Party.




9.7 Severability




          If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being
enforced by any rule or Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement
shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of
the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party.
Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being
enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the
original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the
transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible.




9.8 Counterparts, Execution




          This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to
be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The Parties
shall be entitled to rely upon delivery of an executed facsimile or similar executed electronic
copy of this Agreement, and such facsimile or similar executed electronic copy shall be legally
effective to create a valid and binding agreement between the Parties.
