(ii) did not otherwise result from a breach of this section 4.2; and

(iii) that the Orezone Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Financial Advisor and outside legal counsel, is or would, if completed, reasonably be expected to constitute, a Superior Proposal;

provided, however, that prior to taking any such action, Orezone must;

(iv) give notice to IAMGOLD of such Acquisition Proposal as provided in subsection 4.2(d) hereof; and

(v) obtain a confidentiality agreement from the Person making such Acquisition Proposal that is substantively the same as the Confidentiality Agreement, and containing terms no more favourable to such Person than the Confidentiality Agreement including a standstill provision at least as stringent as that contained in the Confidentiality Agreement.

(e) Nothing contained in subsection 4.2(b) above shall prohibit the Orezone Board from taking any action prohibited by subsection 4.2(b)(iii), if the Orezone Board determines, in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that such action or inaction is necessary for the Orezone Board to act in a manner consistent with its fiduciary duties or Applicable Laws, provided that Orezone may not proceed with the announcement of such decision before giving written notice of such decision to IAMGOLD.  The foregoing shall not relieve Orezone from its obligation to proceed to call and hold the Orezone Meeting and to hold a vote of the Orezone Shareholders on the Arrangement Resolution, except in circumstances where this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the terms hereof prior to the date of the Orezone Meeting.

44.

(f) Orezone and New Orezone shall ensure that each of its respective officers and directors and the Orezone Subsidiaries and their respective officers and directors and all advisors and representatives retained by any of them are aware of the provisions of this section 4.2, and it shall be responsible for any breach of this section 4.2 by such officers, directors, advisors or representatives.

Right to Accept a Superior Proposal

4.3 (a) If Orezone, New Orezone and the Orezone Subsidiaries have complied with section 4.2 of this Agreement with respect thereto, Orezone may accept, approve, recommend or enter into any agreement, understanding or arrangement in respect of a Superior Proposal prior to the approval of the Arrangement Resolution by the Orezone Shareholders and terminate this Agreement if, and only if (with the exception of a confidentiality agreement which complies with section 4.2 hereof the execution of which shall not be subject to the conditions of this section 4.3):

(i) Orezone has provided IAMGOLD with a copy of the document containing the Superior Proposal;

(ii) five Business Days have elapsed from the later of (A) the date IAMGOLD received written notice (a “Superior Proposal Notice”) advising IAMGOLD that the Orezone Board has resolved, subject only to compliance with this section 4.3, to accept, approve, recommend or enter into an agreement in respect of such Superior Proposal, specifying the terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal and identifying the Person making such Superior Proposal, and (B) the date IAMGOLD received a copy of the document containing such Superior Proposal;

(iii) the Orezone Board has determined in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that it is necessary for the Orezone Board to take such action in order to discharge properly its fiduciary duties;

(iv) such Superior Proposal does not provide for the payment of any break, termination or other fee or expense to the Person making the Superior Proposal in the event that Orezone, New Orezone or any of the Orezone Subsidiaries completes the Arrangement and the other transactions contemplated in this Agreement or any other transaction with IAMGOLD or any of the IAMGOLD Subsidiaries agreed to prior to the termination of this Agreement,

(v) taking into account any revised proposal made by IAMGOLD since receipt of the Superior Proposal Notice, such Superior Proposal remains a Superior Proposal and the Orezone Board has again made the determinations referred to in this subsection 4.3(a); and

45.

(vi) Orezone has previously or concurrently paid or caused to be paid to IAMGOLD the Termination Fee payable under section 7.3 of this Agreement.

(b) During the five Business Day period referred to in paragraph 4.3(a)(ii) above, IAMGOLD shall have the right, but not the obligation, to offer to amend the terms of this Agreement.  The Orezone Board will review any proposal by IAMGOLD to amend the terms of this Agreement in good faith in order to determine whether IAMGOLD’s amended proposal upon acceptance by Orezone would result in such Superior Proposal ceasing to be a Superior Proposal.  If the Orezone Board so determines, Orezone shall enter into an amended agreement with IAMGOLD reflecting IAMGOLD’s amended proposal.  If the Orezone Board continues to believe, in good faith and after consultation with the Financial Advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Superior Proposal remains a Superior Proposal and therefore rejects IAMGOLD’s amended proposal, Orezone may, on termination of this Agreement in accordance with section 7.1 hereof and payment of the Termination Fee as required pursuant to section 7.3 hereof, accept, approve, recommend or enter into an agreement, understanding or arrangement in respect of such Superior Proposal.

(c) Orezone and New Orezone hereby acknowledge and agree that each successive material modification of any Acquisition Proposal shall constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of section 4.2 hereof and the requirement under paragraph 4.3(a)(ii) hereof to initiate an additional five Business Day notice period.

(d) If the Orezone Information Circular has been sent to the Orezone Shareholders prior to the expiry of the five Business Day period set forth in subsection 4.3(a) hereof and, during such period, IAMGOLD requests in writing that the Orezone Meeting proceed, unless otherwise ordered by the Court, Orezone shall continue to take all reasonable actions necessary to hold the Orezone Meeting and to cause the Arrangement to be voted on at the Orezone Meeting.

56.

Termination Fee

7.3 If:

(a) IAMGOLD shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to subsection 7.1(b) hereof;

(b) Orezone shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to subsection 7.1(d) hereof;

(c) either Orezone or IAMGOLD shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to subsection 7.1(e) hereof in circumstances where the Arrangement Resolution has not received the required Orezone Shareholders Approval at the Orezone Meeting and (i) a bona fide Acquisition Proposal has been publicly announced or made by any Person other than IAMGOLD prior to the Orezone Meeting and not publicly withdrawn more than five Business Days prior to the Orezone Meeting, and (ii) Orezone enters into an agreement with respect to such Acquisition Proposal, or such Acquisition Proposal is completed, after the date of this Agreement and prior to the expiration of 12 months following the termination of this Agreement;

Other Business

8.1 Following the Effective Date, New Orezone and IAMGOLD shall have the right without consulting or notifying the other to engage in and receive full benefits from other and independent business activities, whether or not competitive or in conflict with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.  The doctrine of “corporate opportunity” or “business opportunity” shall not be applied to any other transaction, activity, venture or operation of New Orezone or IAMGOLD not within the boundaries or in respect of the Essakane Property and, except as otherwise expressly provided in other agreements between New Orezone and IAMGOLD, if any, neither of New Orezone or IAMGOLD shall have any duty to the other with respect to any opportunity to acquire property outside of the boundaries of the Essakane Property.

Agreements

8.2 Orezone, New Orezone and certain Orezone Subsidiaries shall enter into an agreement with effect no later than the Effective Date pursuant to which IAMGOLD, directly or indirectly, will have the right to own and operate any and all deposits or mines located on any property to which the Kossa Permit relates that has been estimated to have gold revenue representing at least 50% of the total revenue from such deposit or mine, with such agreement to be in form and substance acceptable to IAMGOLD (the “Kossa Gold Rights Agreement”).

Post-Closing Adjustments

8.3 For a period of two years following the Effective Date, to the extent that IAMGOLD and New Orezone determine, after the Effective Date, that the occurrence of any circumstance or event which requires a post-closing adjustment by the Parties hereto, the Parties hereto will work together to determine a mutually acceptable tax-efficient manner to effect, to the greatest extent possible, the necessary transfers and will, in any event, effect the necessary transfers and make any payments or reimbursements related thereon, as the case may be within 15 calendar days after the determination of any such adjustments by cheque or wire transfer to the Party hereto to whom such payments or reimbursements are payable or owed.

58.

Indemnification by New Orezone

8.4 From the Effective Time, New Orezone hereby agrees to indemnify and save harmless IAMGOLD, Orezone and the Orezone Subsidiaries from all Losses suffered or incurred by IAMGOLD, Orezone or the Orezone Subsidiaries as a result of or arising directly or indirectly out of or in connection with:

(a) Indemnified Liability; or

(b) any Indemnified Taxes.

If any claim, proceeding or other matter resulting from the occurrence of any of the events contemplated by subsection 8.4(a) or (b) above (a “Claim”) is made against IAMGOLD, Orezone or the Orezone Subsidiaries by a third party for which IAMGOLD, Orezone or the Orezone Subsidiaries may be entitled to indemnification, IAMGOLD or Orezone or the Orezone Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall give notice (the “Indemnity Notice”) to New Orezone specifying the particulars of such Claim within 60 days after it receives notification of the Claim. New Orezone shall have the right to participate in any negotiations or proceedings with respect to such Claim.  IAMGOLD, Orezone or the Orezone Subsidiaries, as applicable shall not settle or compromise any such Claim without the prior written consent of New Orezone, unless New Orezone has not, within five Business Days after the giving of the Indemnity Notice, given notice to IAMGOLD, Orezone or the Orezone Subsidiaries, as applicable, that it wishes to dispute such Claim.  If New Orezone does give such a notice, it shall have the right to assume the defence of such Claim and to defend such Claim in the name of IAMGOLD, Orezone or the Orezone Subsidiaries, as applicable.  IAMGOLD, Orezone and the Orezone Subsidiaries shall provide to New Orezone all files, books, records and other information in its possession or control which may be relevant to the defence of such Claim.  IAMGOLD and Orezone shall co-operate in all reasonable respects in the defence of such Claim.  If New Orezone fails after the giving of such notice, diligently and reasonably to defend such Claim throughout the period that such Claim exists, its right to defend the Claim shall terminate and IAMGOLD, Orezone or the Orezone Subsidiaries may assume the defence of such Claim.  In such event, IAMGOLD, Orezone or the Orezone Subsidiaries may compromise or settle such Claim without the consent of New Orezone.

In the event that a Claim relates to Indemnified Taxes where a Governmental Entity has asserted that Taxes are payable in respect of the Orezone Inc. Transfer or the settlement of the OEL Debt as described under section 4.6 hereof, Orezone and the Orezone Subsidiaries will use all tax deductions and tax credits available immediately before the Effective Date to reduce any possible additional Taxes related to such Claim.  In the event described in the preceding sentence, Orezone and the Orezone Subsidiaries will require indemnification from New Orezone only where the balance of the tax deductions or taxes credits that were available immediately before the Effective Date would not be sufficient to result in no Taxes being payable in connection with such Claim.

In the event that the Claim relates to Indemnified Taxes, New Orezone shall pay to IAMGOLD, Orezone or the Orezone Subsidiaries, as the case may be, an amount equal to the amount of Indemnified Taxes upon the amount of Indemnified Taxes being finally determined whether by assessment, reassessment or agreement with the Governmental Entity or by judicial determination.  If IAMGOLD, Orezone or the Orezone Subsidiaries shall receive a refund of any Indemnified Taxes in respect of which a payment has been made pursuant to this section 8.4 the amount of such refund shall forthwith be paid to New Orezone, together with interest, if any, paid by the applicable Governmental Entity on such refund (net of any taxes thereon).

59.

If the amount of Indemnified Taxes imposed on or suffered by IAMGOLD, Orezone or the Orezone Subsidiaries as finally determined, is greater than the amount which was paid by New Orezone to IAMGOLD, Orezone or the Orezone Subsidiaries or to any Governmental Entity on account of Indemnified Taxes, New Orezone shall, forthwith following such final determination, pay the amount of such difference to IAMGOLD, Orezone or the Orezone Subsidiaries together with any interest which may be payable to a Governmental Entity in respect of such amount.

Remedies

8.5 The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that an award of money damages may be inadequate for any breach of this Agreement by any Party hereto or its representatives and advisors and that such breach may cause the non-breaching Party hereto irreparable harm.  Accordingly, the Parties hereto agree that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by one of the Parties hereto, IAMGOLD (if either Orezone or New Orezone is the breaching Party) or Orezone and New Orezone (if IAMGOLD is the breaching Party) will be entitled, without the requirement of posting a bond or other security, to seek equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance.  Subject to any other provision hereof including, without limitation, section 7.3 hereof, such remedies will not be the exclusive remedies for any breach of this Agreement but will be in addition to all other remedies available hereunder or at law or in equity to each of the Parties hereto.

II. the creation of an unlimited number of Class A Shares;

and the articles of Orezone shall be deemed to be amended accordingly

B. Each issued Class B Share, other than those held by Dissenting Orezone Shareholders, will be exchanged with Orezone for one Class A Share and ● New Orezone Shares.

74.

D. The stated capital of Orezone for the outstanding Class A Shares will be an amount equal to the stated capital of Orezone for the Class B Shares, less the fair market value of the New Orezone Shares distributed to Orezone Shareholders, other than Dissenting Orezone Shareholders pursuant to section 4 hereof and the paid-up capital of the Class A Shares of Orezone will be reduced accordingly.

(viii) With respect to each Class A Share:

B. all rights, contracts, permits and interests of Orezone and IAMGOLD Subco will continue as rights, contracts, permits and interests of IAMGOLD Amalco as if Orezone and IAMGOLD Subco continued and, for greater certainly, the merger will not constitute a transfer or assignment of the rights or obligations of either of Orezone or IAMGOLD Subco under any such rights, contracts, permits and interests;

D. a civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding pending by or against Orezone or IAMGOLD Subco may continue to be prosecuted by or against IAMGOLD Amalco;
