Such limitation shall have no application to any claim to recover Losses based on any incorrectness in or breach or any representation, warranty or indemnity of or given by the Seller in this Agreement resulting from fraud or wilful misconduct by the Seller and/or its Affiliates or their respective representatives.

(b)

Except in the event of fraud or wilful misconduct relating to a representation, warranty, covenant or indemnity of or given by the Seller in this Agreement, the aggregate Losses that may be recovered from the Seller and/or Golden Star, collectively, pursuant to:

The Notice of Claim shall specify whether the Claim arises as a result of a claim by a person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”) or whether the Claim does not so arise (a “Direct Claim”), and shall also specify with reasonable particularity, to the extent that the information is available, the factual basis for the Claim and the amount of the Claim.

(b)

If an Indemnified Party fails to provide the Indemnifying Party with a Notice of Claim promptly as required by Section 10.7(a), the Indemnifying Party shall be relieved of the obligation to pay damages solely to the extent it can show that it was materially prejudiced in its defence of a Third Party Claim or in proceeding against a third party who would have been liable to it by the fact of the delay, but the failure to provide such Notice of Claim promptly shall not otherwise release the Indemnifying Party from its obligations under this Article.

(c)

If the date by which a Notice of Claim must be given as set out in Section 10.8 in respect of a breach of representation and warranty has passed without any Notice of Claim having been given to the Indemnifying Party, then the related Claim shall be forever extinguished, notwithstanding that by the date specified in Section 10.8 the Indemnified Party did not know, and in the exercise of reasonable care could not have known, of the existence of the Claim.

(d)

In respect of a Notice of Claim that relates to Taxes that is provided to the Buyer, the Buyer shall be provided a reasonable opportunity to review and approve in advance the form and substance any submission that is made to the relevant Governmental Authority in respect of the underlying Claim for Taxes.

with respect to all other representations and warranties of the Buyer contained in this Agreement (excluding the Buyer Fundamental Representations), not later than [Redacted - Commercially Sensitive Information].

10.9 Direct Claims

With respect to any Direct Claim, following receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have 45 days to make such investigation of the Claim as is considered necessary or desirable. For the purpose of such investigation, the Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party the information relied upon by the Indemnified Party to substantiate the Claim, together with all such other information as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. If both Seller and the Buyer agree at or prior to the expiration of such 45-day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof) to the validity and amount of such Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall immediately pay to the Indemnified Party the full agreed-upon amount of the Claim, failing which the matter shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

10.10 Third Party Claims

(a)

The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its expense, to participate in or, by giving notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party not later than 30 days after receipt of the Notice of Claim with respect to that Third Party Claim and, subject to the rights of any insurer or other third party having potential liability therefor, assume control of the negotiation, settlement or defence of any Third Party Claim and if the Indemnifying Party assumes control, it shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all of the Indemnified Party's out-of-pocket expenses prior to the time the Indemnifying Party assumed control. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume such control, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the negotiation, settlement or defence of such Third Party Claim and to retain counsel to act on its behalf, provided that the fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party unless the named parties to any Proceeding include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and representation of both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them (such as the availability of different defences).

(b)

If the Indemnifying Party, having elected to assume such control, thereafter fails to defend the Third Party Claim within a reasonable time, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume such control.

(c)

If any Third Party Claim is of a nature such that the Indemnified Party is required by applicable Law to incur losses or make a payment to any person (a “Third Party”) with respect to the Third Party Claim before the completion of settlement negotiations or related legal proceedings, the Indemnified Party may incur such Losses or make such payment and the Indemnifying Party shall, forthwith after demand by the Indemnified Party, reimburse the Indemnified Party for such payment. If the amount of any liability of the Indemnified Party under such Third Party Claim, as finally determined, is less than the amount that was paid by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall, forthwith after the receipt of the difference from the Third Party, pay the amount of such difference, together with any interest thereon paid by the Third Party to the Indemnified Party, to the Indemnifying Party. In addition, the Indemnifying Party shall post all security required by any court, regulatory body or other authority having jurisdiction, including without limitation, for purposes of enabling the Indemnifying Party to contest any Third Party Claim.

(d)

If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume control of the defence of any Third Party Claim or defaults in respect of any of its obligations under this Section with respect thereto, the Indemnified Party shall have the exclusive right to contest the amount claimed and may settle and pay the same on 14 days' prior written notice to the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party shall thereupon be deemed to have agreed that such settlement is reasonable and may be agreed to by the Indemnified Party and all other persons liable in respect of the Third Party Claim unless within such 14-day period the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it is assuming or reassuming control of such defence and thereafter assumes or reassumes such control and does not default.

(e)

The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall co-operate fully with each other with respect to Third Party Claims, and shall keep each other fully advised with respect thereto (including supplying copies of all relevant documentation promptly as it becomes available).

10.11 Adjustments

(a)

The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided in this Article will be adjusted to take into account any Tax benefit or other benefit realized by the Indemnified Party by reason of the Loss for which indemnification is so provided. Any such Tax benefit or other benefit will be taken into account at such time as it is received by the Indemnified Party.

(b)

In determining the amount of any Losses under this Article, such Losses will be increased to take into account any Tax actually incurred by the Indemnified Party as a result of the matter giving rise to such Losses or the payment received by the Indemnified Party (including any Tax withheld by the Indemnifying Party in making such payment) pursuant to indemnification under this Article, in all cases as is necessary to ensure that the net amount received pursuant to such indemnification after the deduction (including any withholding by the Indemnifying Party) of such Tax equals the amount the Indemnified Party would have received had such Tax not been incurred.

(c)

Where an Indemnified Party is, or would be likely to be, entitled to recover or be compensated or indemnified by another person, whether by way of contract, indemnity or otherwise (including under a policy of insurance), any amount in respect of a Claim made by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of such right or entitlement, take all reasonable steps to seek recovery of that amount and keep the Indemnifying Party at all times fully and promptly notified of the status of such recovery. The amount of the Claim by the Indemnified Party shall be reduced by any amount actually recovered by the Indemnified Party (net of all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred in doing so and any Tax paid or payable on the amount recovered).

(d)

If, after an Indemnifying Party has made a payment in respect of a Claim, an Indemnified Party recovers from or is paid by another person any amount in respect of the Loss that gave rise to the Claim, the Indemnified Party shall promptly, and in any event within 10 Business Days, pay to the Indemnifying Party, the lesser of: (i) the amount of the Loss that was recovered or paid; and (ii) the amount paid by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party in respect of the Claim, in either case net of all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred in obtaining the recovery or payment and any Tax paid or payable as a result of receiving such recovery or payment.

(e)

Any indemnity payment made under this Article 10, including pursuant to Section 10.11(d), shall be treated by the Seller, on the one hand, and the Buyer, on the other hand, as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

10.12 Set-Off

The Buyer may set off and deduct from any amounts payable by the Buyer to the Seller under this Agreement the amount of any Losses for which the Buyer is entitled to be indemnified by the Seller under this Article 10. The Seller may set off and deduct from any amounts payable by the Seller to the Buyer under this Agreement the amount of any Losses for which the Seller is entitled to be indemnified by the Buyer under this Article 10.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 10, if the Indemnifying Party is the Seller or Golden Star and the amount of Losses for which it is liable exceeds the amount of the Purchase Price then received in cash by the Seller, the Indemnifying Party shall only be required to pay to the Indemnified Party in respect of such Losses an amount equal to the amount of cash received by the Seller on account of the Purchase Price, with the unpaid balance of such Losses being deferred and set-off, in accordance with the prior sentence of this Section 10.12, against future payments of the Purchase Price pursuant to Sections 2.2(b)i, 2.2(c), 2.2(d) and, to the extent the Sulphides Contingent Payment is payable at the time the Claim for the Loss or Losses is made, the Sulphides Contingent Payment, as applicable.

Accordingly, the Seller, on the one hand, and the Buyer, on the other hand, agree that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by either of the Seller, on the one hand, or the Buyer, on the other hand (provided this Agreement shall not have been terminated pursuant to Section 11.1), the non-breaching Party shall also be entitled, without the requirement of posting a bond or other security, to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance. Such remedies will not be the exclusive remedies for any breach of this Agreement but will be in addition to all other remedies available at law or equity to the Parties.

Schedule “C”

PURCHASE PRICE

Schedule “C” - Part 1 - Accounting Principles The Balancing Payment Calculation which sets out the Actual Closing Date Amount, the Balancing Payment, the Actual Closing Working Capital and the Actual Closing Net Debt shall be prepared in the following order of priority:

the specific accounting principles set out in paragraphs (2) to (19) below;

to the extent consistent with paragraph 1(a), the same accounting principles, procedures, categorizations, classifications (including in respect of trial balance classifications), assets recognition bases, definitions, methods, practices and techniques (including in respect of the exercise of management judgment) as actually applied in the preparation of the balance sheet set out in the Financial Statements (the “Latest Balance Sheet”); and

to the extent consistent with paragraphs 1(a) and 1(b), IFRS as applicable to the accounting period ended on June 30, 2020.

For the avoidance of doubt, paragraph 1(a) shall take precedence over paragraphs 1(b) and 1(c), and paragraph 1(b) shall take precedence over paragraph 1(c).

General principles

The Balancing Payment Calculation (and each component thereof) shall be prepared as at the Effective Time and on a combined basis by reference to the general ledgers of the Company Group. All intercompany balances between the Company and the Company Subsidiary shall be reconciled and eliminated in the preparation of the Balancing Payment Calculation. Any intercompany balances between the Company Group (on the one hand), and the Seller and its Affiliates (on the other hand), after taking account of the Pre-Closing Restructure shall be included as receivables or payables (as applicable) in the Actual Closing Working Capital and settled in accordance with Section 2.2(b) of this Agreement.

Unless specifically stated to the contrary, the Balancing Payment Calculation shall not take into account: (a) the funds flow or cash flows arising on Closing; or (b) changes in assets or liabilities as a result of purchase accounting or opening balance sheet adjustments.

No adjustments shall be made to the Balancing Payment Calculation for events occurring at or after the Effective Time, and the Balancing Payment Calculation shall be prepared as if the Balancing Payment Calculation was delivered at the Effective Time.

The Parties agree that it is their commercial intent to avoid any double counting in the preparation of the Balancing Payment Calculation and, as such, no item shall be included in the Actual Closing Net Debt and the Actual Closing Working Capital more than once. No item shall be excluded from the Balancing Payment Calculation solely on the grounds of immateriality.

The Balancing Payment Calculation shall be prepared on the basis that the Company Group is a going concern and so as to include no impact (including charge, provision, reserve write off, impairment, loss, income or profit) arising as a consequence of the change in ownership of the Company Group contemplated by this Agreement or any change in the management strategy, direction or priority which results from such change in ownership or which is implemented at the direction of the Buyer.

Any items that were classified as current assets in the Latest Balance Sheet or that are otherwise in the nature of current assets shall not be reclassified as fixed assets or non-current assets in preparation of the Balancing Payment Calculation (or otherwise excluded from the Actual Closing Net Debt or the Actual Closing Working Capital).

Any items that were classified as long-term liabilities in the Latest Balance Sheet or that are otherwise in the nature of non-current liabilities shall not be reclassified as current liabilities in preparation of the Balancing Payment Calculation (or otherwise included in the Actual Closing Net Debt or the Actual Closing Working Capital).

Unless specifically stated to the contrary in this Part 1 of Schedule “C”, no increase shall be made in respect of accruals, provisions or reserves in the preparation of the Actual Closing Working Capital or Actual Closing Net Debt unless since the preparation of the Latest Balance Sheet new facts or circumstances have arisen which justify such increase using the same accounting principles, procedures, categorizations, classifications (including in respect of trial balance classifications), assets recognition bases, definitions, methods, practices and techniques (including in respect of the exercise of management judgment) as were actually applied in the preparation of the Latest Balance Sheet.

10.

The Balancing Payment Calculation shall be presented in United States dollars. Balances in currencies other than United States dollars shall be translated into United States dollars at the noon exchange rate quoted by the Ghana Reserve Bank on the Closing Date.

Specific principles

11.

Revenue (and associated accounts receivable, as applicable) shall be recognised in the Balancing Payment Calculation on the following basis:

to the extent that the commercial flights between Ghana and South Africa have recommenced prior to the Effective Time, revenue shall be recognized on the same day that gold is shipped from the mine site at the price agreed with the agent;

to the extent that commercial flights between Ghana and South Africa have not recommenced prior to the Effective Time, revenue shall be recognized on a basis consistent with paragraph 1(b) of Part 1 of this Schedule “C” and provided that the gold sales price shall be set by reference to the LBMA AM gold price fixed on the day of the arrival of the gold at the refinery; and

for the avoidance of doubt, the Balancing Payment Calculation shall not take into account any changes in respect of IFRS15 ‘Revenue’.

Amounts recognized as revenue in accordance with paragraph (11) above but not billed shall be recognized as unbilled receivables (or accrued income) in the Actual Closing Working Capital.

12.

Accounts receivable (including both billed and unbilled amounts) shall be included in the Actual Closing Working Capital at their full nominal value without bad debt reserve, allowance, set off, write down or write off. For the avoidance of doubt, the Actual Closing Working Capital shall include the tax refund receivable due from the Ghana Revenue Authority in respect of the 2018 year of assessment overpayment.

13.

Actual Closing Working Capital shall include all inventory as at the Effective Time including stores inventory, gold-related inventory (Ore stockpile, finished goods, gold in circuit (GIC)), supplies, spares, reagents and components (including any consignment inventory, any inventory which is at third party premises but is owned by the Company Group and any goods in transit) valued at historical cost (including allocation of overheads, general and administrative costs) which shall be calculated using the same accounting principles, procedures, categorizations, classifications (including in respect of trial balance classifications), definitions, methods, practices and techniques (including in respect of the exercise of management judgment) as actually applied in the preparation of the Latest Balance Sheet. Inventory quantity shall be determined based on the Company Group’s inventory system as at the Effective Time.

Inventory cost shall only be adjusted for the following reserves (without duplication):

spares, reagents and components (but excluding gold-related inventory which is dealt with under paragraph 13(b) below) shall include an inventory reserve for slow moving stock calculated by reference only to any such inventory which both (i) has not been used, moved, utilized or otherwise consumed in the two years immediately prior to the Effective Time; and (ii) is not expected to be used or consumed at or after the Effective Time, provided that in no event that such inventory reserve shall exceed 80% of the spares, reagents and components inventory historical cost (as per GL account code 15499991506) as at the Effective Time (and, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding gold-related inventory);

to the extent that the net realisable value (NRV) of gold-related inventory is lower than the average cost of gold related inventory calculated in accordance with paragraph 13 above (the “Cost Base”), gold-related inventory shall be written down to its NRV. The NRV shall be calculated by reference to the closing gold spot (LBMA AM fix) price on the Closing Date and on a basis consistent with the accounting principles, procedures, categorizations, classifications (including in respect of trial balance classifications), definitions, methods, practices and techniques (including in respect of the exercise of management judgment) as actually applied in the preparation of the Latest Balance Sheet;

provided always that no provision shall be recorded against inventory which is sold at or above its Cost Base after the Effective Time. No other provisions, reserves, write offs or valuation adjustments shall be made against inventory in Actual Closing Working Capital or the Balancing Payment Calculation.

14.

Prepayments shall be included in the Actual Closing Working Capital in respect of costs paid (or payable) prior to the Effective Time for goods and services that relate to the period after the Effective Time including the Reclamation Bonds, prepaid rent, employee benefits, insurance, prepaid inventory and licenses.

15.

Actual Closing Working Capital shall only include an accrual for goods and services that meet both of these two criteria (a) were delivered to the Company Group prior to the Effective Time; and (b) are payable by the Company Group after the Effective Time. The Parties agree that the Purchase Price reflects the Buyer’s obligation in respect of Company Group’s capital and capital expenditure commitments and, as such, Actual Closing Working Capital shall exclude any future commitments, capital commitments, capital expenditures or similar arrangements which are incurred and payable by the Company Group after the Effective Time.

16.

Actual Closing Working Capital shall include an accrual for annual contractual staff and management bonuses for the financial year ended December 31, 2020 calculated on a straight line daily pro rata basis from January 1, 2020 up to the Effective Time and by reference to the individual and company performance metrics actually achieved as of the Effective Time, in each case, only to the extent payable by the Company Group after the Effective Time. For the avoidance of doubt the Excluded Employees shall be excluded from the bonus accrual as at the Effective Time.

17.

Actual Closing Working Capital shall include an accrual in respect of the estimated union salary adjustment as at the Effective Time calculated on the following basis:

to the extent that the final union salary adjustment is agreed and finalized with the labour union prior to the time that the Buyer delivers the Balancing Payment Calculation to the Seller in accordance with Section 2.4(a) of this Agreement (the “Cut-Off Time”), the accrual shall be calculated by reference to such final salary adjustment;

to the extent that the union salary adjustment is not agreed and finalised with the labour union prior to the Cut-Off Time, then the accrual shall be calculated by reference to an estimated 5% union salary adjustment;

in each case above, (i) calculated using the same accounting principles, procedures, categorizations, classifications (including in respect of trial balance classifications), definitions, methods, practices and techniques (including in respect of the exercise of management judgment) as actually applied in the preparation of the Latest Balance Sheet; and (ii) excluding any such accrual or liability in respect of the Excluded Employees.

18.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, none of the following are to be included in the Actual Net Debt and the Actual Closing Working Capital and, accordingly, shall not be included in the Balancing Payment Calculation:

any contingent liabilities, off balance sheet arrangements or commitments, general provisions, general reserves or general accruals;

any liabilities, asset write offs, provisions, reserves or accruals in respect of matters set out in the Seller Disclosure Letter;

any liabilities, asset write offs, provisions, reserves, or accruals in respect of environmental matters, rehabilitation obligations, asset retirement obligations, dilapidations or similar items (including any current and non-current portions thereof);

any liabilities in respect of the customs claims referred to in Schedule 5.9 of the Seller Disclosure Letter;

any provision or liability with respect to any matter which is the subject of an indemnity or other remedy in favour of the Buyer under the terms of this Agreement or any other transaction documents;

any liabilities relating to income Tax, current income taxes, deferred tax liabilities or liabilities for uncertain tax positions and the any tax assessment;

any shareholder loans or liabilities (net of any associated receivables) due to the Seller or its Affiliates which are recapitalized, restructured, reorganised or are otherwise not actually payable by the Company Group under or as a result of the Pre-Closing Restructure;

any capital lease liabilities or similar arrangements;

any liabilities related to IGS company funded pension scheme;

any liabilities, accruals, reserves or credit balances in respect of non-controlling interest or minority interests; and

any payables, liabilities, accruals, provisions or reserves (including in respect of bonus, salary, and leave liabilities) in respect of the Excluded Employees.

19.

Part 2 of Schedule “C” sets out the balance sheet accounting mapping in respect of Net Debt and Working Capital. To the extent that there is any conflict between this Part 1 of Schedule “C” ‘Accounting Principles’ and the balance sheet mapping set out in Part 2 of Schedule “C”, this Part 1 of Schedule “C” ‘Accounting Principles’ shall prevail.
