TERMS AND CONDITIONS
OF SUBSCRIPTION
1.
Subscription. The Purchaser hereby tenders to the Company this
Subscription Agreement which, upon acceptance by the Company, will constitute an
irrevocable agreement of the Purchaser to purchase from the Company and, of the
Company to sell to the Purchaser, the number of subscription receipts of the
Company (“Subscription Receipts”) set out on the face page
hereof (the “Purchaser’s Securities”) at the price of
$0.60 per Purchaser’s Security (the “Purchase Price”), all
on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in this Subscription
Agreement. Each Subscription Receipt shall be automatically exercised (without
any further action by the holders thereof) for one unit of the Company (a
“Unit”) without payment of any consideration in addition
to the Purchase Price of such Subscription Receipt, upon the completion of the
acquisition of the La Libertad gold mine in Nicaragua (“La
Libertad”) and a 60% interest in the Cerro Quema gold deposit in Panama
(the “Acquisition”) on terms previously disclosed and otherwise
reasonably acceptable to the Underwriters, including, for greater certainty, the
delivery to the Underwriters of a favourable legal opinion with respect to title
of La Libertad (the “Escrow Condition”).
Each
Unit will consist of one common share of the Company (a “Common
Share”) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole
common share purchase warrant a “Warrant”). Each Warrant shall entitle
the holder to purchase one common share of the Company (a “Warrant
Share”) for a purchase price of $0.80 until the earlier of (i) two years
following the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), and (ii) at the option of the
Company, the date that is 30 days following provision of notice to warrantholders from the
Company that the closing price of its common shares on the TSX (as hereinafter defined)
has been at least $1.20 for 30 consecutive trading days (such notice not to be provided
prior to the date which is four months and one day following the Closing Date), subject to
adjustment in certain events.
The
gross proceeds of the Offering less the Underwriters’ Commission (as hereinafter
defined) (the “Escrowed Proceeds”) will be held in escrow on behalf of
the Purchasers by an escrow agent acceptable to the Lead Underwriter in an interest
bearing account. The Escrowed Proceeds (and accrued interest) will be released to the
Company upon satisfaction of the Escrow Condition, at which time each Subscription Receipt
shall automatically be exercised for one Unit.
If
the Escrow Condition is not satisfied on or before 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on July 31,
2006 (the “Escrow Deadline”), the Escrowed Proceeds (plus accrued
interest) shall be used by the Company to repurchase the Subscription Receipts at a
redemption price per Subscription Receipt equal to the Purchase Price thereof plus a pro
rata amount of any interest accrued in respect of the Escrowed Proceeds to the date of
redemption. To the extent that the Escrowed Proceeds (plus accrued interest) are not
sufficient to purchase all of the Subscription Receipts, the Company will contribute such
amounts as are necessary to satisfy any shortfall.
The
Subscription Receipts shall be created and issued pursuant to a subscription receipt
agreement (the “Subscription Receipt Agreement”) to be entered into
between Equity Transfer Services Inc. (or such other trust company as may be acceptable to
the Company and the Lead Underwriter), in its capacity as subscription receipt agent
thereunder, the Lead Underwriter and the Company to be dated as of the Closing Date (as
hereinafter defined). The specific attributes of the Subscription Receipts shall be set
forth in the Subscription Receipt Agreement. The Warrants shall be created and issued
pursuant to a warrant indenture (the “Warrant Indenture”) to be entered
into between Equity Transfer Services Inc. (or such other trust company as may be
acceptable to the Company and the Lead Underwriter), in its capacity as warrant agent
thereunder and the Company to be dated as of the Closing Date. The specific attributes of
the Warrants shall be set forth in the Warrant Indenture.
The
Purchaser (and, if applicable, such others on behalf of whom it is contracting hereunder)
acknowledges and agrees that the rights of the holders of the Subscription Receipts may be
modified under the Subscription Receipt Agreement pursuant to an extraordinary resolution
approved either by holders of Subscription Receipts representing at least 66 2/3% of the
outstanding Subscription Receipts that attend or are represented at a duly convened
meeting of Subscription Receipt holders or by written consent of holders of Subscription
Receipts representing at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding Subscription Receipts.
