|
1.1 The Loans. Subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Note (as defined below), Lender agrees to lend to the Company (as hereinafter defined) up to the principal sum of One Million Eight Hundred Fifty Three Thousand Nine Hundred Sixty Five Dollars ($1,853,965.00) (the “Loan Amount”) against the issuance and delivery by the Company of an Amended and Restated Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein (the “Note”). Upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Lender will make loans to Company at any time and from time to time during the period from the Effective Date through July 31, 2013 (“Commitment Period”), up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the Loan Amount. In no event shall Lender be required to make any loans hereunder after expiration of the Commitment Period. Company shall deliver to Lender a written request (each a “Loan Request”) for each loan at least five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed funding of the loan specifying the amount of the loan (which shall be the amount on the “Invoice,” as hereinafter defined) and the date of the funding of the loan (“Loan Date”), together with a copy of a bona fide third party invoice for goods, materials or services furnished to Company (each an “Invoice”). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a third party Invoice shall not be required with respect to a Loan Request for funds needed for the Company’s ordinary and necessary operating and administrative expenses, including without limitation, the Company’s payroll and lease obligations; nevertheless, the Company shall provide a detailed documentation in lieu of an Invoice. Each Loan Date must be between Monday and Thursday, and not on a day that is a federal legal holiday (“Business Day”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in no event shall Lender be obligated to disburse loan proceeds in connection with goods, materials or services furnished to the Company by any person or entity in which a director, officer, or shareholder of the Company owns an interest directly or indirectly. The preceding sentence shall not apply with respect to payroll compensation paid to officers and employees of the Company or to amounts payable by the Company pursuant to that certain Terra Gold Project Exploration Development and Mine Operating Agreement between Raven Gold Alaska Inc. and Terra Gold Corporation effectively dated September 15, 2010. Lender shall transfer the applicable loan proceeds for the Loan Request to the Company (or, in Lender’s discretion, directly to the third party referenced in the Invoice) via cash, wire transfer, or certified funds on the Loan Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender may require as a condition precedent to disbursing loan proceeds that Company execute and deliver to Lender an original-signed amendment to the Note amending the Schedule to reflect the making of such loan. The Company acknowledges and stipulates that as of the Effective Date, a portion of the Loan Amount equal to One Million Eight Hundred and Fifty Two Thousand One Hundred and Fifteen Dollars ($1,852,115.00) has been disbursed by Lender and received by the Company (the “Disbursed Portion”).

1.2 Recording of Loans and Repayments. Lender will enter on the schedule attached to and incorporated into the Note (the “Schedule”) the principal amount of each loan which it makes to the Company, any repayment of principal which the Company makes, the date on which each such loan or repayment is made, and the outstanding principal balance as a result of each such loan or repayment. The Company hereby authorizes Lender to make such entries and agrees that those entries to the outstanding principal balance as shown on the Schedule will constitute conclusive evidence of all loans and repayments and the dates thereof and of the outstanding principal balance under the Note. The Company hereby appoints Lender as its attorney in fact to make all such entries on the Schedule, and such appointment is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.
1.3 Conversion. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of the Note, the principal and all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts payable under the Note may, solely at the election of the Lender and in its sole discretion, be converted into shares of common stock or preferred stock at the rate set forth in the Note. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of common for the sole purpose of issuance upon such conversion not less than such aggregate number of shares of the common stock of Company as shall be issuable upon such conversion.
