EXHIBIT 10.15
AGREEMENT OF PURCHASE AND SALE
AGREEMENT OF PURCHASE AND SALE, dated as of January 10, 1997 (the "Agreement")
by and between Pan African Resources Corporation, a company incorporated under
the laws of Barbados ("PARC") and Lafayette Holdings Corp., a company
incorporated under the laws of the Bahamas ("Lafayette").
A. PARC and Lafayette are parties to that certain Option
Agreement dated September 4, 1994 (as amended, the "Option Agreement") and that
certain Corporate Joint Venture and Shareholder Agreement dated May 5, 1995
(the "JV Agreement"). The JV Agreement sets forth the respective rights and
obligations of the parties in connection with a corporate joint venture entity
known as Lafayette Mining Gabon, Ltd. ("LMG"), of which PARC holds an 80%
equity interest (subject to divestment under certain conditions) and Lafayette
holds a 20% equity interest. Capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise
defined, have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the JV Agreement.
B. PARC has received a bona fide offer from a third party to
acquire its rights, title, interests and corresponding obligations under the JV
Agreement and Option Agreement (the "Offer"), a copy of which offer is attached
hereto as Exhibit A.
C. By a notice dated December 12, 1996 to PARC, Lafayette has
exercised a right of first refusal in its favor to acquire the rights and
obligations of PARC on the same terms as the Offer, in accordance with the
terms of Article 9 of the JV Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the
covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as
follows:
1. Purchase and Sale.
1.1 Subject to all the terms and conditions hereof and in
consideration for the payment by Lafayette to PARC of Six Hundred Forty
Thousand U.S. Dollars (US$640,000.00) cash (the "Purchase Price"), PARC hereby
sells, assigns and transfers to Lafayette all of PARC's rights, title and
interests in and to (i) all Shares and Shareholder Loans of PARC in LMG and
(ii) all the related rights and obligations of PARC under the JV Agreement, the
Option Agreement (to the extent not superseded by the JV Agreement) and any
other related agreements.
1.2 Lafayette hereby undertakes and assumes all the obligations
and liabilities of PARC in respect of LMG and under the Option Agreement, JV
Agreement and related agreements and expressly agrees that its rights and
interests are subject to all the terms and conditions of such agreements, to
the extent applicable and in force.
1.3 The purchase and sale contemplated herein is made strictly on
an "AS-IS", "WHERE-IS" basis, with Lafayette relying solely on its own due
diligence investigation of the assets purchased. PARC has not made and will
not make any representations or warranties relating to the Shares, Shareholder
Loans or any other assets being purchased or liabilities being assumed,
directly or indirectly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the best of PARC's
knowledge and belief, LMG is the owner, free of encumbrance, of 494 out of 500
total capital shares of LMG-G.
2
2. Closing.
2.1 The transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall be
consummated (the "Closing") on or before January 10, 1997 (the "Closing Date").
The Closing shall take place at a site to be mutually agreed in Geneva,
Switzerland on the Closing Date, unless the parties mutually agree in writing
to extend the Closing Date or change the location of the Closing.
2.2 There are no contingencies to the timely closing of this
transaction. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that no regulatory,
legal or governmental approvals are required for the consummation of this
transaction. In the event for any reason (other than the material failure of
PARC to perform hereunder) Lafayette fails to provide PARC with the full
Purchase Price in "good" (immediately available) funds satisfactory to PARC on
or prior to the Closing Date, then Lafayette shall be deemed to have
irrevocably waived its right of first refusal with respect to the Offer and
PARC shall be entitled to consummate the transaction set forth in the third
party Offer in accordance with the terms of Article 9 of the JV Agreement.
3. Lafayette's Obligations. Lafayette shall:
3.1 At the Closing, provided that on or before the Closing Date
PARC shall have materially complied with each and all of its obligations set
forth herein,_present PARC with a certified bank or cashier's check,
satisfactory in all respects to PARC and its bank, in the amount of the
Purchase Price, net of all bank or other charges, from a major international
bank satisfactory to PARC and its bank, or, alternatively, at PARC's request,
wire-transfer immediately available funds in the amount of the Purchase Price,
net of bank or other charges, to a bank account designated by PARC.
3.2 Upon Closing, assume full responsibility for all unfulfilled
and ongoing obligations of LMG and LMG-G in connection with the Mineral Rights,
the Option Agreement and JV Agreement, to the extent applicable, as well as any
and all other obligations and liabilities of LMG and LMG-G, including without
limitation, all charges of the registered agents, corporate secretaries,
outside accountants, lawyers and other professionals, leases of buildings,
offices or land, labor and employment obligations of LMG-G, taxes, duties,
statutory and similar obligations, contracts or agreements between LMG-G and
third parties and any other obligations or liabilities of LMG or LMG-G which
may exist as of the Closing or arise thereafter. LMG-G has in the past
utilized certain physical assets in conducting the Operations in Gabon
(collectively, the "Hard Assets") which, to the best of PARC's knowledge, are
located on or near the Eteke Property and in the offices leased by LMG-G in
Mouila and Libreville. PARC makes no representation or warranty whatsoever as
to the nature, condition, location or ownership of the Hard Assets. PARC
undertakes to arrange to deliver keys to the offices in Mouila and Libreville
and to any storage sheds or other structures on the Property, or otherwise to
enable Lafayette to gain access thereto and to any employment or other business
records therein at a mutually convenient time to be agreed by the parties.
3.3 At the Closing, execute this Agreement and provide PARC with
three (3) fully executed originals hereof.

4.8 In the event PARC is unable to provide any of the documents or
information set forth in sections 4.3, 4.5, 4.6 or 4.7 at the Closing, the
Closing shall not be delayed and PARC hereby covenants to deliver such
information within thirty (30) days thereafter. In addition, PARC covenants to

attached hereto) to sign an endorsement or other document (satisfactory to them
in form and content) evidencing the transfer of their respective nominal
capital shares in LMG-G to replacement nominal shareholders designated by
Lafayette after the Closing, if necessary to effect such transfer under
applicable law, upon presentation to them of such documents ready for
signature. Lafayette hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Mssrs.
Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx and Xxxxxxx and PARC harmless and free from any liability,
claim, loss, damage, cost or expense whatsoever (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) which may arise out of their acting as nominal shareholders of

1. A statement of exploration expenditures made on the Property for the
years 1994, 1995 and 1996. The expenditures for December of 1996 will be
estimates and all the 1996 figures will be subject to year-end and audit
adjustments. Such adjustments are not anticipated to be material. Also,
copies of general ledger records and working papers used to produce the
expenditures statements.
2. 1995 financial statements (prepared by Gabonese accountants) for
LMG-G. Please note that these may not correspond with the exploration
expenditures referenced in 1 above, due to the fact that costs generated
outside of Gabon and/or paid directly from Denver (i.e. ex-xxx labor, supplies,
equipment, consultants) may not be included in the Gabon generated statements.
1996 financial statements for LMG-G are not available (though any and all
financial records upon which they would be based presumably may be obtained
through LMG-G's Gabon accountant). Please note that none of the Gabon
Financial Statements have been reviewed or approved by PARC.
3. Xxxxx de Cession et D'Engagement (re: transfer of the Permit to LMG).
4. As you know, all exploration activities at Eteke were stopped and the
bulk of all employees dismissed on or about September 16, 1996 in order to
provide a 4-5 month period to evaluate the exploration results to that date.
The Labor and Ministry Departments can be expected to inquire in the near
future with respect to the resumption of activities on the Property.
