SCHEDULE "B" NSR ROYALTY
For purposes of the calculation of the NSR Royalty, "Gross Proceeds" shall mean the aggregate proceeds received by the Purchaser or its Affiliate from time to time from any smelter or other purchaser from the sale of Products by and from the Horizon Property after deducting from such proceeds the following charges ("Allowable Deductions") only to the extent that they are not deducted by the smelter or other purchaser in computing the proceeds:
- (a) all tolling charges, representation expenses, metal losses, umpire charges, expenses, penalties and fees, including all weighing, sampling and assaying costs that are paid by the Purchaser and/or its Affiliates for or in connection with smelting, refining, beneficiation processes and mineral treatment procedures in respect of the Products;
- (b) all costs, expenses and charges for or in connection with transportation (including insurance, shipping, freight, stockpiling, storage, warehousing, handling, port, demurrage, delay and forwarding expenses, transaction taxes, customs and customs clearance, import and export duties and permit costs, and related administration expenses) of Products away from the Horizon Property to a smelter or refinery or other place of mineral treatment or beneficiation and from there to the place or places of storage and sale to the ultimate purchaser; and
- (c) sales, use, gross receipts, customs duties, severance, value added taxes and other taxes and governmental charges, if any, payable with respect to the existence, severance, production, removal, sale, processing, transportation, or disposition of Products that are paid or incurred by the Purchaser and/or its Affiliates with respect to the Products, but excluding any taxes that are based on the gross or net income of the Purchaser and/or its Affiliates, any business or franchise taxes of the Purchaser and its Affiliates, any taxes based on the value of the Horizon Property and any improvements thereon (including any ad valorem taxes) and any taxes or governmental charges that are refundable in and to the Purchaser and/or its Affiliates;
The Purchaser shall reserve and pay the NSR Royalty to the Seller. Payment of NSR Royalty to the Seller shall be made quarterly, within forty-five (45) days after the end of each quarter during which the Purchaser receives Gross Proceeds. Within ninety (90) days after the end of each calendar year for which the NSR Royalty is payable to the Seller, the records relating to the calculation of the NSR Royalty for such year shall be audited by the auditors of the Purchaser and any adjustments in the payment of the NSR Royalty to the Seller shall be made forthwith after completion of the audit. All payments of the NSR Royalty to the Seller for a calendar year shall be deemed final and in full satisfaction of all obligations of the Purchaser in respect thereof if such payments or the calculations thereof are not disputed by the Seller within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Seller of the same audited statement. The Purchaser shall maintain accurate records relevant to the determination of the NSR Royalty and the Seller, or their authorized agent, shall be permitted the right to examine such records
To the extent permitted under applicable law, the NSR Royalty creates a direct real property interest in the Horizon Property and constitutes a covenant running with the Horizon Property. The holder of the NSR Royalty shall be entitled to register the NSR Royalty against the Horizon Property. Any expense associated with establishing, registering or perfecting the NSR Royalty as a real property interest shall be for the account of the Seller.
The Seller may assign their interest in the NSR Royalty upon written approval of the Purchaser, and such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
