ARTICLE 4
CERTIFICATES AND FRACTIONAL SHARES

4.1

Issuance of Certificates Representing Class A Common Shares

Upon surrender to the Depository for cancellation of a certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented (a) one or more Alamos Shares that were ultimately converted under the Plan of Arrangement into one or more Class A Shares and/or (b) one or more AuRico Shares that were ultimately converted one or more Class A Shares under the Arrangement, together with such other documents and instruments as would have been required to effect the transfer of the shares formerly represented by such certificate under the OBCA and the by-laws of AuRico or Alamos, as applicable, and such additional documents and instruments as the Depository may reasonably require, the holder of such surrendered certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and the Depository shall deliver to such holder, (i) a certificate representing that number (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of Class A Shares into which such holder’s AuRico Shares or Alamos Shares, as the case may be, were ultimately converted (together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto pursuant to Section 4.2), (ii) a certificate representing that number (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of New AuRico Shares to which such holder is entitled under the Arrangement and this Plan of Arrangement, and (iii) in the case of a holder of Alamos Shares, a cheque (or other form of immediately available funds) representing the cash which such holder has the right to receive under the Arrangement and this Plan of Arrangement from Amalco for such Alamos Shares, less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 4.6, and the certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of AuRico Shares or Alamos Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of AuRico or Alamos, as applicable, a certificate representing the proper number of Class A Shares and New AuRico Shares may be issued to the transferee if the certificate representing such AuRico Shares or Alamos Shares, as applicable, is presented to the Depository, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 4.1, each certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented AuRico Shares or Alamos Shares that were converted pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement shall be deemed at all times after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender (i) the certificate representing Class A Shares and New AuRico Shares as contemplated by this Section 4.1, (ii) with respect to any certificate representing one or more Alamos Shares, the cash payment contemplated by this Section 4.1, and (iii) any dividends or distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid or payable with respect to Amalco Shares as contemplated by Section 4.2.

- 21 -

4.2

Distributions with Respect to Unsurrendered Certificates

No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to Amalco Shares, Class A Shares or New AuRico Shares with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding AuRico Shares or Alamos Shares, unless and until the holder of record of such certificate shall surrender such certificate in accordance with Section 4.1. Subject to applicable Law, at the time of such surrender of any such certificate, there shall be paid to the holder of record of the certificates representing whole AuRico Shares or Alamos Shares, without interest, (i) the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole Amalco Share, Class A Share or New AuRico Share and (ii) on the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment date subsequent to surrender payable with respect to such whole Amalco Share, Class A Share or New AuRico Share as the case may be.

4.3

No Fractional Shares

No certificates or scrip representing fractional Class A Shares or New AuRico Shares shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of certificates pursuant to Section 4.1 and no dividend, stock split or other change in the capital structure of Amalco shall relate to any such fractional security and such fractional interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to exercise any rights as a security holder of Amalco. The number of Class A Shares or New AuRico Shares to be issued to any person pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement shall be rounded to the nearest whole Class A Share or New AuRico Share, as applicable. For greater certainty, where such fractional interest is greater than or equal to 0.5, the number of Class A Shares or New AuRico Shares, as applicable, to be issued will be rounded up to the nearest whole number and where such fractional interest is less than 0.5, the number of Class A Shares or New AuRico Shares, as applicable, to be issued will be rounded down to the nearest whole number. In calculating such fractional interests, all Class A Shares or New AuRico Shares, as applicable, registered in the name of or beneficially held by an Amalco Shareholder or New AuRico Shareholder, as applicable, or its nominee shall be aggregated.

- 22 -

4.4

Lost Certificates

In the event any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more outstanding AuRico Shares or Alamos Shares shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Depository will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, cash and/or one or more certificates representing one or more Class A Shares and/or New AuRico Shares, as applicable (and any dividends or distributions with respect thereto pursuant to Section 4.2) to which the holder thereof is entitled to under the Arrangement and this Plan of Arrangement deliverable in accordance with such holder’s Letter of Transmittal. When authorizing such payment in exchange for any lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the Person to whom certificates representing Class A Shares and/or New AuRico Shares are to be issued shall, as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, give a bond satisfactory to Amalco and New AuRico, and its transfer agents in such sum as Amalco and New AuRico may direct or otherwise indemnify Amalco and New AuRico in a manner satisfactory to Amalco against any claim that may be made against Amalco and New AuRico with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

4.5

Extinction of Rights

Any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding AuRico Shares or Alamos Shares and not deposited with all other instruments required by Section 4.1 on or prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date, shall cease to represent a claim or interest of any kind or nature as a shareholder of Amalco. On such date, the Class A Shares, New AuRico Shares and cash, as applicable, to which the former holder of the certificate referred to in the preceding sentence was ultimately entitled shall be deemed to have been surrendered to Amalco, together with all entitlements to dividends, distributions and interest thereon held for such former registered holder. For greater certainty, any New AuRico Shares so surrendered shall be deemed to have been returned by Amalco to New AuRico for cancellation for no consideration.

4.6

Withholding Rights

AuRico, Alamos, Amalco and the Depository shall be entitled to deduct or withhold from any dividend or amount otherwise payable to any Person as contemplated under this Plan of Arrangement or the Arrangement Agreement such amounts as AuRico, Alamos, Amalco or the Depository are required or permitted to deduct or withhold with respect to such payment under the Tax Act, the U.S. Tax Code or any provision of provincial, state, local or foreign Tax Law, in each case as amended. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes hereof as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made, provided that such withheld amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. To the extent that the amount so required or permitted to be deducted or withheld from any payment to a holder exceeds the cash component, if any, of the consideration otherwise payable to the holder, Amalco and the Depository are hereby authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of such portion of any share or other security otherwise issuable to the holder as is necessary to provide sufficient funds to Amalco or the Depository, as the case may be, to enable it to comply with such deduction or withholding requirement and Amalco or the Depository shall notify the holder thereof and remit the applicable portion of the net proceeds of such sale to the appropriate taxing authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, AuRico, Alamos and Amalco, as applicable, shall not withhold shares where the Person to whom such shares would otherwise be delivered has made arrangements to satisfy any withholding taxes, in advance, to the satisfaction of AuRico, Alamos, and Amalco, as applicable.

- 23 -

4.7

Calculations

All amounts of consideration to be received under this Plan of Arrangement will be calculated to the nearest cent ($0.01) or to the nearest tenth of one percent (0.01%), as applicable. For greater certainty if pursuant to Section 2.3(j) a registered holder will receive in the aggregate less than $0.01 in respect of all the Alamos Shares registered in such holders name, the cash consideration to be received by such holder will be rounded up to $0.01. All calculation and determinations by AuRico, Alamos, Amalco, New AuRico or the Depository, as applicable, for the purposes of this Plan of Arrangement shall be conclusive, final and binding.

4.8

Tax Elections

An Eligible Holder whose Alamos Shares are exchanged for AuRico Shares and cash pursuant to the Arrangement shall be entitled to make a joint income tax election, pursuant to Section 85 of the Tax Act ( and any analogous provision of provincial income tax law) (a "Section 85 Election") with respect to the exchange by providing two signed copies of the necessary joint election forms to an appointed representative, as directed by AuRico (or by its successor Amalco), within 60 days after the Effective Date, duly completed with the details of the number of Alamos Shares.

Amalco shall, within 60 days after receiving the completed joint election forms from an Eligible Holder, and subject to such joint election forms being correct and complete and in compliance with requirements imposed under the Tax Act (or applicable provincial income tax law), sign and deliver them for signature for filing by the Eligible Holder with the CRA (or the applicable provincial tax authority). Neither Alamos, New AuRico, AuRico or Amalco nor any successor corporation shall be responsible for the proper completion of any joint election form nor, except for the obligation to sign and file duly completed joint election forms which are received within 60 days of the Effective Date, for any taxes, interest or penalties arising as a result of the failure of an Eligible Holder to properly or timely complete such joint election forms in the form and manner prescribed by the Tax Act (or any applicable provincial legislation). In its sole discretion, Amalco or any successor corporation may choose to sign and file a joint election form received by it more than 60 days following the Effective Date, but will have no obligation to do so.

- 24 -

Upon receipt of the Letter of Transmittal in which an Eligible Holder has indicated that the Eligible Holder intends to make a Section 85 Election, Amalco will promptly deliver a tax instruction letter (and a tax instruction letter for the equivalent provincial election(s), if applicable), together with the relevant tax election forms (including the provincial tax election form(s), if applicable) to the Eligible Holder.
