10.1 During the currency of the Option, neither Party may assign, convey, sell or otherwise transfer all or part of its interest or right in and to this Agreement to any third Party without prior consent of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Any assignment shall be subject to the assignee entering into an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the other Party, agreeing to be bound by this Agreement.

If the Optionee is at any time during the Option Period prevented or delayed in complying with any 10.2 provisions of this Agreement by reason of aboriginal land claims, strikes, walk-outs, labour shortages, power shortages, fuel shortages, pandemics, fires, wars, acts of terrorism, acts of God, governmental regulations restricting normal operations, shipping delays or any other reason or reasons beyond the control of the Optionee, the time limited for the performance by the Optionee of its obligations hereunder will be extended by a period of time equal in length to the period of each such prevention or delay. The Optionee will within 30 days give notice to the Optionor of each event of force majeure under this Section and upon cessation of such event will furnish the Optionor with notice to that effect together with particulars of the number of days by which the obligations of the Optionee hereunder have been extended by virtue of such event of force majeure and all preceding events of force majeure.

10.3 This Agreement inures to the benefit of and binds the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

10.4 Each Party shall from time to time promptly execute and deliver all further documents and take all further action reasonably necessary or desirable to give effect to the terms and intent of this Agreement.

10.5 No waiver of any term of this Agreement by a Party is binding unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the Party entitled to grant such waiver. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or remedy under this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of that right or remedy. No waiver of any breach of any term of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of that term.

10.6 No amendment, supplement or restatement of any term of this Agreement is binding unless it is in writing and signed by both Parties.

$10.7$ Each of the Parties hereto covenants, agrees and acknowledges that Optionee's counsel have acted as counsel only to Optionee and that Optionee's counsel is not protecting the rights and interests of Optionor. Optionor acknowledges and agrees that Optionee and Optionee's counsel have given Optionor the opportunity to seek, and have recommended that Optionor obtain, independent legal advice with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and, further, Optionor hereby represents and warrants to Optionee and Optionee's counsel that Optionor has sought independent legal advice or waives such advice.

Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given under this Agreement must 10.8 be in writing and shall be effectively given if delivered personally or by overnight courier or if sent by email or fax, addressed to the address or email address or fax number of the other Party specified in writing prior to the execution of this Agreement, or at such other address as either Party may specify to the other in writing from time to time.

Either Party may change any particulars of its name, address, contact individual, email address or fax number for notice by notice to the other Party in the manner set out in this Section 10.8. Neither Party shall prevent, hinder or delay or attempt

$\sum_{i}$

SCHEDULE "B"

NET SMELTER RETURNS ROYALTY

  • The NSR Royalty described in the Option Agreement to which this Schedule "B" is attached will 1. be such percentage described in the Option Agreement of the Net Smelter Returns (as determined pursuant to Section 2 below) and will be paid to Optionor by the operator of the Property in accordance with the terms of this Schedule "B".
  • The "Net Smelter Returns" will be calculated on a calendar quarter basis and will be equal to $2.$ Gross Revenue (as hereinafter defined) less Permissible Deductions (as hereinafter defined) for such quarter.
    1. In this Schedule "B", the following words have the following meanings:
  • $\mathbf{i}$ . "Gross Revenue" means the aggregate of the following revenues (without duplication) actually received in each quarterly period:
    • A. the revenue from arm's length purchasers of all Mineral Products;
    • B. the fair market value of all Mineral Products sold to persons not dealing at arm's length with the owner of the Property from which the Mineral Products are produced; and
    • C. any proceeds of insurance on Mineral Products;
  • ii. "Mineral Products" means all valuable metals, minerals and refined or semi-refined products produced from the Property;
  • iii. "Payor" means the operator of the Property;
  • iv. "Payee" means the holder of the NSR Royalty described in the Option Agreement to which this Schedule "B" is attached and which is entitled to receive payment thereunder;
  • "Permissible Deductions" means the aggregate of the following charges $\mathbf{V}$ . (without duplication) that are paid or accrued with respect to the Mineral Products in each quarterly period:
    • A. all costs, expenses, charges and penalties of any nature whatsoever which are paid or incurred in connection with mining, refinement or beneficiation of Mineral Products, including all extraction and mining costs, all processing, minting, smelter, milling and refinery charges and all weighing, sampling, assaying, handling, representation and storage costs, any umpire charges, and any interest, penalties and provisional settlement fees charged by the processor, mint, refinery, mill or smelter;
    • B. transportation costs for Mineral Products from the Property to the place of beneficiation, processing, minting, smelting, milling, refining or treatment and thence to the place of delivery of Mineral Products to a purchaser thereof, including shipping, freight, security, insurance,

Page 17 of 19

transaction taxes, port, demurrage, delay, handling and forwarding expenses;

  • C. all marketing, sales charges and brokerage costs levied by any sales agent on the sale of Mineral Products;
  • D. all insurance on Mineral Products; and
  • E. any sales, excise, production, import, export, use, ad valorem, use severance, net proceeds of mine and other taxes and levies, including mining taxes on such Mineral Products (but excluding income taxes):
  • "Trading Activities" shall mean forward sales, futures trading or vi. commodity options trading, and other price hedging, price protection or speculative arrangements that may involve the possible delivery of base or precious metals produced from the site in question; and
  • vii. All terms which are defined in the Option Agreement to which this Schedule "B" is attached and are used herein shall have the same meaning as defined in the Option Agreement, unless the context expressly requires otherwise.
  • For greater certainty, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all charges deducted by $4.$ an arm's length purchaser of metals or minerals whether for smelting, treatment, handling, refining, milling, minting, processing, storage or any other operation on or service relating to the Mineral Products that occurs after the point of sale shall be considered to be legitimate deductions in arriving at the Net Smelter Returns amount. Similar deductions at their fair market value will be permitted for charges by a non-arm's length purchaser.
    1. Payor shall have the right to commingle ore or concentrates produced from the Property with ores or concentrates produced from other mineral properties in which the Payor may have an interest, provided that Payor shall (i) adopt and employ reasonable practices and procedures for weighing, determining moisture content, sampling and assaying such ore or concentrates and recording such data; and (ii) utilize reasonably accurate recovery factors to determine the amount of Mineral Products allocable to the Property. Payee or its authorized representatives shall have the right at all reasonable times during normal business hours to examine and audit from time to time at its own expense the records of the Payor relative to the commingling of ores and concentrates produced from the Property.
    1. Payor agrees to maintain up-to-date and complete records for any operations carried out on the Property and in respect of which a NSR Royalty is payable. If treatment and/or smelting of the Mineral Products derived from such operations is performed off the Property, accounts, records, statements and returns relating to such treatment and smelting arrangements shall be maintained by Payor or the owner. Payee or its agents shall have the right at all reasonable times during normal business hours to inspect such accounts, records, statements and returns and make copies thereof at its own expense for the sole purpose of verifying the amount of NSR Royalty payments.
  • $71$ The NSR Royalty will be calculated and paid within 90 days after the end of each calendar quarter. Smelter settlement sheets, if any, and a statement setting forth calculations in sufficient detail to show the payment's derivation (the "Statement") must be submitted with the payment.
    1. In the event that final amounts required for the calculation of the NSR Royalty are not available

Page 18 of 19

within the time period referred to in Section 7 of this Schedule, then provisional amounts will be estimated and the NSR Royalty paid on the basis of this provisional calculation. Positive or negative adjustments will be made to the NSR Royalty payment of the succeeding quarter.

    1. Subject to the adjustment provisions of this Schedule, all NSR Royalty payments will be considered final and in full satisfaction of all obligations of Payor with respect thereto, unless Payee delivers to Payor a written notice ("Objection Notice") describing and setting forth a specific objection to the calculation thereof within sixty (60) days after receipt by Payee of this Statement. If Payee objects to a particular Statement as herein provided, Payee will, for a period of sixty (60) days after Payor's receipt of such Objection Notice, have the right, upon reasonable notice and at a reasonable time, to have Payor's accounts and records relating to the calculation of the NSR Royalty in question audited by the auditors of Payee. If such audit determines that there has been a deficiency or an excess in the payment made to Payee such deficiency or excess will be resolved by adjusting the next quarterly NSR Royalty payment due hereunder. Payee will pay all the costs and expenses of such audit unless a deficiency of five (5%) percent or more of the amount due is determined to exist. Payor will pay the costs and expenses of such audit if a deficiency of five (5%) percent or more of the amount due is determined to exist. All books and records used and kept by Payor to calculate the NSR Royalty due hereunder will be kept in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. Failure on the part of Payee to make claim against Payor for adjustment in such sixty (60) day period by delivery of an Objection Notice will conclusively establish the correctness and sufficiency of the Statement and NSR Royalty payments for such quarter, and forever preclude the filing of exceptions thereto or making of claims for adjustment thereon by Payee. Nothing herein will limit Payee's rights arising out of fraud.
    1. Payor may but need not engage in Trading Activities. Payee shall not be entitled to participate in the proceeds or be obliged to share in any losses generated by Payor's Trading Activities. If valuable metals produced from the Property are actually delivered pursuant to such Trading Activities, such valuable metals shall, for the purposes of calculating the NSR Royalty payable hereunder, be deemed to be sold and delivered at a price equal to the average weekly price (for the week immediately preceding the deemed sale) for the metal contained in such Mineral Products quotes as the "COMEX" price, first position, by Platts Metals Week or an authoritative alternative publication reasonably designated by Payor that publishes such prices on a weekly or daily basis. Such sale shall be conclusively deemed to be a sale at a fair market value to an arm's length purchaser FOB the refinery for the Mineral Product.
