  (e)
all of the working capital of XX Xxxxxxxx and GF Ghana Holdings as of the Completion Date (as hereinafter defined);
 
(collectively, the “Acquired Interests”). The aggregate purchase consideration for the Acquired Interests will be satisfied by the issuance by IAMGOLD to the Vendors (as hereinafter defined), collectively, of an aggregate of 351,690,218 fully paid and non-assessable common shares of IAMGOLD, representing 70% of the enlarged share capital of IAMGOLD on a fully diluted basis, together with the issuance of such number of additional fully paid and non-assessable common shares of IAMGOLD as are required by the Subsequent Subscription Adjustment (as hereinafter defined) (collectively, the “Consideration Shares”).

The “Subsequent Subscription Adjustment” shall be determined by reference to the cash contributions made directly or indirectly by Gold Fields into the Acquired Companies (as hereinafter defined), XX Xxxxxxxx and GF Ghana Holdings from and after June 24, 2004 through to the Completion Date net of any and all dividend distributions made from the Acquired Companies and XX Xxxxxxxx and GF Ghana Holdings to Gold Fields (directly or indirectly) in such period other than management fees and service fees to be paid in the ordinary course of business (the “Net Cash Subscription Amount”), provided that such Net Cash Subscription Amount shall not exceed US$50 million in the aggregate. The Subsequent Subscription Adjustment shall equal the number of additional fully paid and non-assessable common shares of IAMGOLD that results from the division of the Net Cash Subscription Amount by the volume weighted average trading price of IAMGOLD’s common shares quoted on the Toronto Stock Exchange, converted into United States Dollars at the average daily noon rate of exchange for Canadian Dollars to United States Dollars quoted by the Bank of Canada, in each case over the 20 business days immediately preceding the Completion Date.
 
In addition, XXXXXXX shall declare and on the Completion Date pay a special dividend to the IAMGOLD shareholders (other than the Vendors), determined as of the record date set out in the IAMGOLD shareholder circular, of C$0.50 per outstanding common share as of such record date (the “Special Dividend”).
 
GFLMS, XX Xxxxxxxx and GF Ghana Holdings are collectively referred to in this agreement as the “Vendors”. Orogen, the GFG Directly Held Companies and the Ghana JV Companies (collectively, the “Directly Acquired Companies”) and the companies listed in Schedule C (collectively, the “Indirectly Acquired Companies”) are collectively referred to in this agreement as the “Acquired Companies”. In this agreement, unless the context otherwise requires, where any reference is made to the “Acquired Interests”, such reference shall be deemed to include a reference to the Acquired Companies.
 
In the event that tax, securities or corporate law or other considerations make it necessary or desirable for either party hereto that the Transaction be structured in a manner other than as set out herein or that the Transaction incorporate additional elements or refinements, then to the extent that IAMGOLD and Gold Fields mutually agree, each acting reasonably, upon an alternative structure for the Transaction or such additional elements or refinements, such changes will be as set out in an amendment to this agreement or in the Definitive Agreement (as hereinafter defined).

  (f)
Stock Exchange Listings: Following the completion of the Transaction, it is the intention of IAMGOLD and Gold Fields that the common shares of IAMGOLD will continue to be listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) and the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”), and it is contemplated that applications may in due course be made for the delisting of such common shares from AMEX and the listing of such common shares on the New York Stock Exchange.
     
  (g)

  (h)
Anti-Dilution Rights: For so long as it is required by any regulatory authority in South Africa, IAMGOLD will grant such pre-emptive rights to Gold Fields and/or the Vendors and will agree to such restrictions on the issuance of its common shares or securities exercisable or convertible into, or exchangeable for, common shares (collectively, the “IAMGOLD Equity Securities”) as will enable Gold Fields and its affiliates to maintain beneficial ownership of not less than 50.1% or such lesser percentage as may be required or permitted from time to time by regulatory authorities in South Africa (the “Minimum Ownership Level”) of the outstanding common shares of IAMGOLD on a fully diluted basis from time to time (collectively, the “Anti-Dilution Rights”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Anti-Dilution Rights will provide that in connection with any proposed issuance (by public offering or private placement) of IAMGOLD Equity Securities for cash consideration (an “IAMGOLD Cash Offering”), Gold Fields and its affiliates, collectively, will have the right to subscribe for such number of such IAMGOLD Equity Securities as will enable Gold Fields to maintain its percentage beneficial ownership of the outstanding common shares of IAMGOLD on a fully diluted basis immediately prior to the completion of the IAMGOLD Cash Offering, provided that, subject only to maintaining the Minimum Ownership Level, such right shall not prevent IAMGOLD from completing an IAMGOLD Cash Offering if Gold Fields chooses not to participate in the IAMGOLD Cash Offering. Without derogating from the rights of Gold Fields and its affiliates in respect of an IAMGOLD Cash Offering, the Anti-Dilution Rights shall only apply and be operative where, and there shall be no restriction on the issuance by IAMGOLD of any IAMGOLD Equity Securities unless and until, such issuance would result in Gold Fields having beneficial ownership of less than the Minimum Ownership Level of the then outstanding common shares of IAMGOLD on a fully diluted basis. If permitted by securities regulators having jurisdiction, IAMGOLD will seek the approval of its shareholders to the Anti-Dilution Rights at the IAMGOLD Meeting (as hereinafter defined) so that IAMGOLD shareholder approval will not be required when common shares or other IAMGOLD Equity Securities are subsequently issued from time to time to Gold Fields or its affiliates pursuant to the Anti-Dilution Rights. Failing either the permission of such securities regulators or the granting of the shareholder approval sought by IAMGOLD at the IAMGOLD Meeting for all future issuances of common shares or other IAMGOLD

Equity Securities pursuant to the Anti-Dilution Rights, IAMGOLD will not, for so long as is necessary to give effect to the requirements of any regulatory authority in South Africa, issue IAMGOLD Equity Securities to any person where such issuance would result in Gold Fields having beneficial ownership of less than the Minimum Ownership Level of the then outstanding common shares of IAMGOLD on a fully diluted basis or, in the event of an IAMGOLD Cash Offering, less than its percentage beneficial ownership of the outstanding common shares of IAMGOLD on a fully diluted basis immediately prior to the completion of the IAMGOLD Cash Offering, in each case in circumstances where Gold Fields considers, acting reasonably, on the advice of counsel and in consultation with IAMGOLD, that such issuance would require IAMGOLD to obtain shareholder approval to enable Gold Fields to exercise the Anti-Dilution Rights, unless such shareholder approval has been obtained and, in connection therewith, IAMGOLD and Gold Fields will cooperate in seeking and using their respective best commercial efforts to obtain any such shareholder approval as may be required from time to time. Gold Fields agrees not to dispose of less than all of the securities of IAMGOLD then owned by Gold Fields or any of its affiliates for so long as the Anti-Dilution Rights are in effect unless otherwise required by South African regulatory authorities.

Concurrent with the execution hereof, IAMGOLD and Gold Fields shall advise the other of them of any current Acquisition Proposal and IAMGOLD and Gold Fields shall promptly notify the other of them of any future Acquisition Proposal which any director, senior officer or agent thereof is or becomes aware of, any amendment to any of the foregoing or any request for non-public information relating to them. Such notice shall include a description of the material terms and conditions of any such proposal and the identity of the person making such proposal, inquiry, request or contact.
     
14. Superior Proposals:
     
 
Neither IAMGOLD nor its directors shall, in respect of any Acquisition Proposal, accept, approve or recommend or enter into any agreement in respect of such Acquisition Proposal unless:
     
  (a)
the directors of IAMGOLD have determined in good faith that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal (as hereinafter defined);
 
 
     

25

 
  (b)
Gold Fields has been provided with a copy of the document containing such Superior Proposal (with such deletions as are necessary to protect any confidential portions of such document, provided that the material terms and conditions of, and the identity of the person making, such Superior Proposal may not be deleted);
     
  (c)
five business days have elapsed from the later of the date on which Gold Fields received notice of the determination of IAMGOLD to accept, approve or recommend or to enter into an agreement in respect of such Superior Proposal and the date Gold Fields received a copy of the Superior Proposal, and (A) Gold Fields has not, within such five business day period, made an offer in writing to amend this agreement which purports to at least match the Superior Proposal (a “Matching Offer”) or (B) Gold Fields has made a Matching Offer and the directors of IAMGOLD determine (which determination need not be made within such five day period) in good faith, after consultation with and receiving advice from, as appropriate, their respective financial, legal and other advisors, that such Matching Offer would not, if consummated in accordance with its terms, result in a transaction:
     
    (i)
which is equivalent or superior, from a financial point of view, to IAMGOLD to the Superior Proposal (and IAMGOLD shall have received a written opinion from its financial advisers substantially to such effect); or
       
    (ii)
the acceptance of which by XXXXXXX, having regard to all of the then prevailing circumstances, would be most likely to result in the performance by the directors of IAMGOLD of their fiduciary obligations under Legal Requirements;
       
  (d)
if Gold Fields has elected not to match the Superior Proposal or if an offer made by Gold Fields under subparagraph 14(c) hereof is not accepted by IAMGOLD, IAMGOLD terminates this agreement pursuant to paragraph 16 hereof; and
       
  (e)
IAMGOLD makes the payment contemplated by, and in accordance with, paragraph 15 hereof.
       
 
In this agreement, “Superior Proposal” means a bona fide unsolicited Acquisition Proposal received by IAMGOLD after the date hereof: (A) that is not conditional on obtaining financing and (B) in respect of which the directors of IAMGOLD have determined in good faith, after consultation with and receiving advice from, as appropriate, its financial, legal and other advisors, that such Acquisition Proposal would, if consummated in accordance with its terms, result in a transaction:
       
    (i)
which is superior, from a financial point of view, to IAMGOLD and/or its shareholders to the Transaction (and IAMGOLD shall have received a written opinion from its financial advisers substantially to such effect); or
       
    (ii)
the acceptance of which by XXXXXXX, having regard to all of the then prevailing circumstances, would be most likely to result in the performance by the directors of IAMGOLD of their fiduciary obligations under Legal Requirements.
 

 
     

26

 
       
15. Termination Fee:
       
  If:    
       
  (a)
IAMGOLD terminates this agreement in accordance with subparagraph 16(b) hereof;
       
  (b)
this agreement is terminated in accordance with subparagraph 16(a) hereof and, within 180 days of the effective date of such termination:
       
    (i)
IAMGOLD accepts, approves or recommends, or enters into an agreement with respect to, an Acquisition Proposal; or
       
    (ii)
Gold Fields accepts, approves or recommends, or enters into an agreement with respect to, an Acquisition Proposal (which for purposes of this subparagraph 15(b)(ii) shall be limited to any Acquisition Proposal which would result in the acquisition by any one or more persons other than Gold Fields Group Companies, in one or more related transactions, of all or substantially all of the Acquired Interests in the aggregate); or
       
  (c)
this agreement is terminated following public disclosure by Gold Fields referred to in paragraph 13(C) hereof and, within 180 days after such termination, Gold Fields accepts or enters into an agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal in respect of which it made a recommendation pursuant to a Legal Requirement;
 
(any such event being a “Triggering Event”), then IAMGOLD (in the case of an event referred to in subparagraph 15(a) or 15(b)(i) above) or Gold Fields (in the case of an event referred to in subparagraph 15(b)(ii) or 15(c) above) (in either case, the “Target Party”) shall pay the other party (the “Non-Target Party”) an amount in cash equal to US$20,000,000 in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Non-Target Party. Such payment shall be made, in the case of a termination in accordance with subparagraph 16(b) hereof, concurrently with such termination and, in the circumstances set forth in subparagraph 15(b) or (c) above, at the time that such Acquisition Proposal is accepted, approved or recommended or an agreement with respect to such Acquisition Proposal is executed. The obligation to make any payment required by this paragraph shall survive any termination of this agreement. Each of IAMGOLD and Gold Fields hereby acknowledges that the payment amount set out in this paragraph 15 is a payment of liquidated damages which is a genuine pre-estimate of the damages which the Non-Target Party will suffer or incur as a result of the event giving rise to such damages and the resultant non-completion of the Transaction and is not a penalty. Each of IAMGOLD and Gold Fields hereby irrevocably waives any right it may have to raise as a defence that any such liquidated damages are excessive or punitive. Upon receipt of payment of such amount by the Non-Target Party, the Non-Target Party shall have no further claim against the Target Party in respect of the failure to complete the Transaction, provided that nothing herein shall preclude the Non-Target Party from seeking injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach by the Target Party of any of its obligations hereunder or otherwise to obtain specific performance without the necessity of posting bond or security in connection herewith. If Gold Fields has not received, on or prior to the Definitive Agreement Deadline,

 
     

27

 
16.  Termination:
     
  This agreement may be terminated:
     
  (a)
by Gold Fields or IAMGOLD if the Definitive Agreement is not executed on or before the Definitive Agreement Deadline,
     
  (b)
by XXXXXXX in the circumstances set out in subparagraph 14(d) hereof;
     
  (c)
by Gold Fields or IAMGOLD in the circumstances set out in paragraph 11 hereof or if any condition set out in paragraph 8 is not satisfied or waived by the Completion Date;
     
  (d)
by IAMGOLD if any condition set out in paragraph 9 is not satisfied or waived by the Completion Date; or
     
  (e)
by Gold Fields if any condition set out in paragraph 10 is not satisfied or waived by the Completion Date
     
 
or by the mutual written consent of the parties hereto. The date upon which this agreement is terminated pursuant to this paragraph 16 is referred to herein as the “Termination Date”. The respective obligations of the parties pursuant to paragraph 15 hereof shall survive any termination of this agreement.
     
17. Miscellaneous:
     
  (a)
Costs: Except as provided in paragraph 15 hereof, each of IAMGOLD and Gold Fields shall pay its own costs and expenses (including all legal, accounting, tax, and financial advisory fees and expenses) in connection with the Transaction including expenses related to the preparation, execution and delivery of this agreement and the documents required hereunder.
     
  (b)
Public Announcements: IAMGOLD and Gold Fields agree to make a joint press release with respect to the Transaction as soon as practicable after the date on which this agreement has become effective and to otherwise coordinate the public disclosure and presentations made by them with respect to the Transaction. IAMGOLD and Gold Fields further agree that there will be no public announcement or other disclosure of the Transaction or of the matters dealt with herein unless they have mutually agreed thereto or unless otherwise required by applicable law or by regulatory instrument, rule or policy based on the advice of counsel. If either IAMGOLD or Gold Fields is required by applicable law or regulatory instrument, rule or policy to make a public announcement with respect to the Transaction, such party will provide as much notice to the other of them as reasonably possible, including the proposed text of the announcement.
     
  (c)
Governing Law: This agreement shall be governed by and be construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the laws of Canada
 
 
     

28

 
   
     
  (d) Amendment: This agreement may be amended only by written agreement of the parties hereto.
     
  (e) Assignment: Neither party hereto may assign its rights or obligations under this agreement without the prior written consent of the other party hereto.
     
  (f) Binding Effect: This agreement shall be binding upon and shall enure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
     
  (g)
Waiver: Any waiver or release of any of the provisions of this agreement, to be effective, must be in writing and executed by the party hereto granting such waiver or right.
     
  (h)
Confidentiality Agreement: The parties acknowledge that the transactions contemplated by this agreement are subject to a reciprocal confidentiality agreement dated July 14, 2004 between Gold Fields and IAMGOLD (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), which agreement shall continue in full force and effect. For greater certainty, this agreement and any discussions in connection therewith shall be treated by the parties hereto as strictly confidential and shall not (without the prior consent of the other party hereto or except as contemplated or provided herein or as may be required to comply with applicable laws or regulatory requirements) be disclosed by either party hereto to any person other than a director, officer, employee, agent, shareholder or professional advisor of or to that party hereto with a need to know for purposes connected with the Transaction or other matters contemplated by this agreement and then only on a confidential basis and also on the basis that the party hereto concerned will be liable for any breach of confidentiality by a person to whom it makes disclosure. In the event of a conflict between the provisions hereof and any provision of the Confidentiality Agreement, the provisions hereof shall prevail.
     
  (i)
Entire Agreement: This agreement, together with the Confidentiality Agreement, the IAMGOLD Disclosure Letter and the Gold Fields Disclosure Letter, contains the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings with respect thereto.
     
  (j)
Interpretation: As used in this agreement: (i) the terms “this agreement”, “hereof”, “hereto”, “hereunder” and similar expressions refer to this agreement and not to any particular paragraph or other portion hereof and include the Schedules hereto and any agreement supplemental hereto; and (ii) the words “including”, “includes” and “included” and similar expressions shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”.
     
  (k)
Further Assurances. Each of the parties hereto shall from time to time execute and deliver all such further documents and instruments and do all acts and things as the other party hereto may reasonably require to effectively carry out or better evidence or perfect the full intent and meaning of this agreement.
