9.7 Limitation Period for Claims

Notwithstanding the provisions of the Limitations Act or any other statute, the period within which an Indemnified Party may commence a proceeding in respect of an Indemnity Claim for which a Notice of Claim is required to be, and has been, given in accordance with Section 9.8, shall be two years from the last date upon which such Notice of Claim is permitted to be delivered thereunder, and any applicable limitation period is hereby so extended to the fullest extent permitted by Law.

  • 53 -

  • (a) A party that may be entitled to make a claim for indemnification (an “ Indemnity Claim ”) under this Agreement (the “ Indemnified Party ”) shall give written notification to the other party (the “ Indemnifying Party ”) of such Indemnity Claim (a “ Notice of Claim ”) promptly upon becoming aware of the Indemnity Claim, but in no event later than the relevant date, if any, specified in Section 9.4. The Notice of Claim shall specify whether the Indemnity Claim arises as a result of a claim by a Person against the Indemnified Party (a “ Third Party Claim ”) or whether the Indemnity Claim does not so arise (a “ Direct Claim ”), and shall also specify with reasonable particularity, to the extent that the information is available, the factual basis for the Indemnity Claim and the amount of the Indemnity Claim.

  • (b) If an Indemnified Party fails to provide the Indemnifying Party with a Notice of Claim promptly as required by Section 9.8(a), the Indemnifying Party shall be relieved of the obligation to pay damages to the extent it can show that it was prejudiced in its defence of the Indemnity Claim or in proceeding against a third party who would have been liable to it by the fact of the delay, but the failure to provide such Notice of Claim promptly shall not otherwise release the Indemnifying Party from its obligations under this Article 9.

  • (c) If the date by which a Notice of Claim must be given as set out in Section 9.4 has passed without any Notice of Claim having been given to the Indemnifying Party, then the related Indemnity Claim shall be forever extinguished, notwithstanding that by the date specified in Section 9.4 the Indemnified Party did not know, and in the exercise of reasonable care could not have known, of the existence of the Indemnity Claim.

9.9 Direct Claims

With respect to any Direct Claim, following receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the Indemnity Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have 45 days to make such investigation of the Indemnity Claim as is considered necessary or desirable. For the purpose of such investigation, the Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party the information relied upon by the Indemnified Party to substantiate the Indemnity Claim, together with all such other information as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. If both parties agree at or prior to the expiration of such 45-day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof) to the validity and amount of such Indemnity Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall immediately pay to the Indemnified Party the full agreed-upon amount of the Indemnity Claim, failing which the matter shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

9.10 Third Party Claims

  • (a) If in connection with a Third Party Claim, an Indemnified Party is required by applicable Law to make a payment to a third party before the relevant procedure for challenging the existence or quantum of the Third Party Claim is completed, then the Indemnified Party may make such payment and forthwith demand

  • 54 -

reimbursement for such payment from the Indemnifying Party in accordance with this Agreement; provided that, if the alleged liability to the third party as finally determined upon completion of settlement negotiations or related legal proceedings is less than the amount which is paid by the Indemnifying Party in respect of the related Indemnity Claim or if it is determined that the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification in respect of the Third Party Claim under this Agreement, then the Indemnified Party shall forthwith following such determination pay to the Indemnifying Party the amount by which the amount of the liability as finally determined is less than the amount which is so paid by the Indemnifying Party.

  • (b) Excluding any Third Party Claim that relates to Taxes that would reasonably be expected to have an impact on any taxation or fiscal period commencing on or after the Closing Date (a “ Post-Closing Tax Claim ”), an Indemnified Party shall not negotiate, settle, compromise or pay (except in the case of payment of a judgment) any Third Party Claim, except with the prior consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

  • (c) With respect to any Third Party Claim other than a Post-Closing Tax Claim, the following procedures will apply:

  • (i) except as contemplated by Section 9.10(c)(iii), the Indemnifying Party will have the right to assume carriage of the compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim and the conduct of any related legal, administrative or other proceedings, but the Indemnified Party shall have the right and shall be given the opportunity to participate in the defence of the Third Party Claim, to consult with the Indemnifying Party in the settlement of the Third Party Claim and the conduct of related legal, administrative and other proceedings (including consultation with counsel). If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume carriage and conduct of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain counsel to act on its behalf, provided that the fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party unless the named parties to any action or proceeding include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and representation of both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them (such as the availability of different defences).

  • (ii) the Indemnifying Party will co-operate with the Indemnified Party in relation to the Third Party Claim, will keep it fully advised with respect thereto, will provide it with copies of all relevant documentation as it becomes available, will provide it with access to all records and files relating to the defence of the Third Party Claim and will meet with representatives of the Indemnified Party at all reasonable times to discuss the Third Party Claim; and

  • 55 -

  • (iii) notwithstanding Sections 9.10(c)(i) and 9.10(c)(ii), the Indemnifying Party will not settle a Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that the liability of the Indemnifying Party shall be limited to the proposed settlement amount if any such consent is not obtained for any reason.

  • (d) With respect to any Third Party Claim that is a Post-Closing Tax Claim, the Purchaser shall have the right to assume carriage of such Post-Closing Tax Claim, provided that:

  • (i) the Purchaser shall pursue such contest diligently and in good faith;

  • (ii) the Purchaser shall keep the Vendors reasonably informed regarding the status of such Post-Closing Tax Claim;

  • (iii) the Vendors shall have the right to participate in the defence of such PostClosing Tax Claim at their own expense and with counsel of their choosing; and

  • (iv) the Purchaser shall not compromise or settle any Post-Closing Tax Claim for which the Vendors are liable for without prior written consent of the Vendors (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except to the extent such compromise or settlement results in the dismissal of the Post-Closing Tax Claim.

  • (e) If, with respect to any Third Party Claim other than a Post-Closing Tax Claim, the Indemnifying Party declines to assume carriage of the settlement of the Third Party Claim or defaults in respect of any of its obligations under this Section 9.10 with respect thereto, the Indemnified Party, at its discretion, may assume carriage of the settlement of the Third Party Claim and defend the Third Party Claim on such terms as the Indemnified Party, acting in good faith, considers advisable, provided that, and without limiting the generality of Section 9.10(b), the Indemnified Party shall not settle a Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

  • (f) The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall co-operate fully with each other with respect to Third Party Claims, and shall keep each other fully advised with respect thereto (including supplying copies of all relevant documentation promptly as it becomes available).

9.11 Adjustment of Purchase Price

All indemnification payments hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for income Tax purposes.

  • 56 -

9.12 Reductions and Subrogation

The amount of any Losses incurred by an Indemnified Party shall be reduced by:

  • (a) the amount of any net Tax benefit actually realized by that Indemnified Party that is attributable to any deduction, loss or credit resulting from or arising out of such Loss; or

  • (b) any recovery, settlement or otherwise under or pursuant to any insurance coverage.

The Indemnified Party shall, use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly seek to recover or make a claim for insurance proceeds or other amounts available as a result of any matter giving rise to an indemnification claim of the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party, provided that any dispute as to the applicability of, or delay in obtaining, such coverage shall not be a basis for delay or refusal of payment hereunder. If the Indemnified Party actually receives any insurance proceeds or other amounts as a result of the matter giving rise to any Indemnity Claim of the Indemnified Party prior to the date upon which the Indemnifying Party is given notice of the Indemnity Claim, the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations with respect to such Indemnity Claim shall be reduced by the amount of any such insurance proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party, net of all costs and expenses, including deductibles, increased cost of insurance and reasonable and out-of-pocket attorney and advisor fees. If the Indemnified Party actually receives any insurance proceeds or other amounts as a result of the matter giving rise to Indemnity Claim against the Indemnifying Party after the Indemnifying Party has paid such Indemnity Claim to the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly turn over any such insurance proceeds or other amounts actually received, net of all costs and expenses, including deductibles, increased cost of insurance and reasonable and out-of-pocket attorney and advisor fees, to the Indemnifying Party to the extent of the payments made by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party on the claim.

9.13 One Recovery

An Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to double recovery for the same Loss to the extent such Loss has already been recovered and received by such Indemnified Party in accordance with this Article 9 even though such Loss may have resulted from the breach of more than one representation, warranty, agreement or covenant made by such Indemnifying Party in this Agreement.

9.14 Duty to Mitigate

Nothing in this Agreement shall in any way restrict or limit the general obligation at law of a party to mitigate any Losses that it may suffer or incur by reason of the breach by any other party of any representation, warranty or covenant of that other party under this Agreement. If any Losses can be reduced by any recovery, settlement or otherwise under or pursuant to any insurance coverage or pursuant to any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any other Person, the Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce such recovery, settlement or payment; provided that the failure to so mitigate shall only reduce the rights to recover for any Loss or portion thereof under this Article 9 to the extent of the Loss or portion thereof that would have been avoided by such mitigation.

  • 57 -

9.15 Exclusivity

2.2 Indemnity Held in Trust

The Vendors shall hold the benefit of the indemnities in this Article 2 in trust for each of the other Vendor Indemnified Parties.

2.3 Notice of Claim

(a) A Vendor Indemnified Party that may be entitled to make a claim for indemnification (an “ Indemnity Claim ”) under this Agreement (the “ Indemnified Party ”) shall give written notification to the Purchaser Parties (collectively, the “ Indemnifying Party ”) of such Indemnity Claim (a “ Notice of Claim ”) promptly upon becoming aware of the Indemnity Claim. The Notice of Claim shall specify with reasonable particularity, to the extent that the information is available, the factual basis for the Indemnity Claim and the amount of the Indemnity Claim.

(b) If an Indemnified Party fails to provide the Indemnifying Party with a Notice of Claim promptly as required by Section 2.3(a), the Indemnifying Party shall be relieved of the obligation to pay damages to the extent it can show that it was prejudiced in its defence of the Indemnity Claim or in proceeding against a third party who would have been liable to it by the fact of the delay, but the failure to provide such Notice of Claim promptly shall not otherwise release the Indemnifying Party from its obligations under this Agreement.

(c) A Notice of Claim may be provided by a Vendor Indemnified Party in accordance with this Section 2.3 not later than 18 months after the day on which the Vendor Indemnified Party became aware of the Indemnity Claim in respect of such Notice of Claim. No monetary limitations of liability shall apply to any Indemnity Claim made by a Vendor Indemnified Party under this Agreement, and an Indemnified Party shall be entitled to require payment on the indemnities contained hereunder for all Losses suffered or incurred.

(a) If in connection with an Indemnity Claim, an Indemnified Party is required by applicable Law to make a payment to a third party before the relevant procedure for challenging the existence or quantum of the Indemnity Claim is completed, then the Indemnified Party may make such payment and forthwith demand reimbursement for such payment from the Indemnifying Party in accordance with this Agreement; provided that, if the alleged liability to the third party as finally determined upon completion of settlement negotiations or related legal proceedings is less than the amount which is paid by the Indemnifying Party in respect of the related Indemnity Claim or if it is determined that the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification in respect of the Third Party Claim under this Agreement, then the Indemnified Party shall forthwith following such determination pay to the Indemnifying Party the amount by

  • 9 -

which the amount of the liability as finally determined is less than the amount which is so paid by the Indemnifying Party.

  • (ii) the Indemnifying Party will co-operate with the Indemnified Party in relation to the Indemnity Claim, will keep it fully advised with respect thereto, will provide it with copies of all relevant documentation as it becomes available, will provide it with access to all records and files relating to the defence of the Indemnity Claim and will meet with representatives of the Indemnified Party at all reasonable times to discuss the Indemnity Claim; and

(c) If, with respect to any Indemnity Claim, the Indemnifying Party declines to assume carriage of the settlement of the Indemnity Claim or defaults in respect of any of its obligations under this Section 2.4 with respect thereto, the Indemnified Party, at its discretion, may assume carriage of the settlement of the Indemnity Claim and defend the Indemnity Claim on such terms as the Indemnified Party, acting in good faith, considers advisable, provided that the Indemnified Party shall not settle an Indemnity Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

  • 9 -

Percentage made in connection with the exercise of the First Purchase Option or Second Purchase Option or both in accordance with Section 8.

(b) No Royalty shall be payable hereunder for or with respect to such reasonable quantities of Product which are used by the Payor exclusively for assaying, non-bulk sampling, bulk sampling, treatment, amenability, metallurgical, test work, piloting or other analytical processes or procedures in respect of the Property. For greater certainty, the Royalty shall be payable on all bulk samples and production where the Payor receives any proceeds from any smelter, mill, mint or other purchaser.

(c) The obligation to pay the Royalty in respect of any Product will accrue upon the Sale of such Product. Where the Sale of Products or the deposit of refined metals is made on a provisional basis, the amount of Royalty shall be based upon the provisional payment received or the amount of refined metal (or other Products) credited by such provisional settlement, but will be adjusted to account for the final payment received or the amount of refined metal (or other Products) established by final settlement by the refinery or by the purchaser of other Products, as the case may be. In the event that the Royalty Holder has been underpaid in any provisional payment or the Royalty Holder has been overpaid in any provisional payment, such underpayment or overpayment will be resolved by adjusting the next Royalty payment (or, if required, payments) due under this Agreement. If production has ceased, in the case of an underpayment, the Payor shall promptly pay the difference to the Royalty Holder in cash or other readily available funds and, in the case of an overpayment, the Royalty Holder will promptly pay to the Payor the difference in cash or other readily available funds.

(d) The amount of the Royalty payment due to the Royalty Holder in respect of any calendar quarter shall be paid to the Royalty Holder in cash on the applicable Payment Date by the delivery to the Royalty Holder of a wire transfer (as directed by the Royalty Holder in writing in its sole and absolute discretion, subject to applicable Legal Requirements) in the amount owed. Subject to applicable Legal Requirements, all Royalty payments hereunder shall be made in United States dollars and shall be made net of all amounts (if any) which the Payor is required to withhold and remit under Legal Requirements to any relevant Governmental Authority, provided that such withholding or deduction is actually thereafter remitted to the applicable Governmental Authority. The Payor shall set out in the statement referred to in Section 3(e) any amount so withheld or remitted.

(e) At the time each Royalty payment is made, the Payor shall deliver to the Royalty Holder a statement setting forth in reasonable detail:

  • (i) the quantity, type and grade of each Product extracted in the applicable calendar quarter;

  • (ii) the quantity, type and grade of Product that has been processed during the applicable quarter and the location of the relevant facilities;

  • (iii) the quantity, type and grade of all Product that has been Sold during the applicable calendar quarter;

  • (iv) the quantity, type and grade of all Product held or unsold during the applicable calendar quarter;

  • (v) details of the Sale of Product on a provisional basis;

  • 10 -

  • (viii) where commingling has occurred, details of how the allocation of metals was made between Product from the Property and materials from other properties during the applicable calendar quarter; and

  • (ix) other pertinent information in sufficient detail to explain the calculation of the Royalty payment.

(f) The Payor shall provide the Royalty Holder an annual report by not later than 90 days following the Payor’s fiscal year end setting out the (i) annual mineral resources and mineral reserves; and (ii) annual production forecast and life of mine plan, in each case, related to the Property.

(g) All tailings, residues, waste rock, spoiled leach materials, and other materials (collectively, “ Materials ”) resulting from the Payor’s operations and activities on the Property shall be the sole property of the Payor, but shall remain subject to the Royalty should the same be processed or reprocessed, as the case may be, in the future and result in the production of Products.

(h) If any Royalty payment required to be made to the Royalty Holder hereunder is not made when due, such payment will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to Prime plus 4%, calculated and compounded monthly in arrears from the date on which payment was first due, until such payment and accrued interest is paid in full (excluding the date of payment).

4. Accounting Matters.

(a) All calculations relating to the Royalty payments to be made to the Royalty Holder hereunder shall be carried out on a consistent basis in accordance with IFRS to the extent that such principles are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between IFRS and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.

(b) The Payor will cause to be kept proper books of account, records and supporting materials (the “ Records ”) covering all matters relevant to the calculation of the Royalty payments payable to the Royalty Holder hereunder, in accordance with IFRS as applicable. Upon not less than 10 Business Days’ prior written request from the Royalty Holder, the Royalty Holder and its Representatives (which may, for certainty, include representatives of the Royalty Holder’s auditors) shall be entitled, at the Royalty Holder’s cost and expense, not more frequently than quarterly, to inspect and audit the Records and to make and take away copies of such Records, and shall be granted the opportunity to discuss issues raised by such audit with the Payor’s accountants, for the purposes of confirming any information contained in a statement delivered to the Royalty Holder pursuant to Section 3(e) or otherwise confirming the rights and obligations of the Royalty Holder and the Payor hereunder.

  • 11 -

(c) Any payment made hereunder shall be considered final and in full satisfaction of all obligations of the Payor hereunder in respect of that payment unless the Royalty Holder provides written notice of its objection to the Payor within 270 days after the receipt by the Royalty Holder of a statement prepared in compliance with Section 3(e) that relates to that payment. In addition to the audit rights provided by Section 4(b), if the Royalty Holder objects to a particular Royalty statement delivered in accordance with Section 3(e), the Royalty Holder may, for a period of 60 days after the Payor’s receipt of notice of such objection, upon reasonable notice and at a reasonable time, have the Payor’s Records relating to the calculation of the Royalty payment in question reviewed by the Royalty Holder’s Representatives.

(d) If, following the receipt of a notice of objection contemplated in Section 4(c) and any review by the Royalty Holder’s Representatives, a dispute (a “ Dispute ”) arises with respect to the calculation of the Royalty, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to successfully settle the matter. To this effect, they shall consult and negotiate with each other to reach a resolution satisfactory to both Parties. If the Parties are unable to resolve the Dispute within 90 days of receipt of a notice of objection contemplated in Section 4(c), the Parties shall promptly retain a third party independent accounting firm mutually agreed between the Royalty Holder and the Payor and experienced in the calculation of royalties of the nature of the Royalty (an “ Auditor ”) to conduct an audit solely in respect of the payment(s) in dispute. The Auditor will reach a conclusion on the dispute within 90 days of its appointment and the decision of the Auditor will be binding on the Parties. If the Parties agree or the Auditor determines that there has been a deficiency or an excess in the payment made to the Royalty Holder, such deficiency or excess will be resolved by adjusting the next Royalty payment (or, if required, payments) due under this Agreement. If production has ceased, settlement will be made between the Parties by cash payment within 10 Business Days of the agreement of the Parties or the determination by the Auditor. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 3(h) will apply to any deficiency payment made in connection with a settlement or audit under this Section 4(d).

(e) Any audit or other examination permitted under this Agreement shall be completed diligently. All expenses of any audit or other examination permitted hereunder shall be paid by the Royalty Holder, unless such audit or examination determines, or the Parties agree, that the discrepancies in the calculation of the Royalty payment that are challenged by the Royalty Holder resulted in an understatement by more than 3.5% of the correct value of the Royalty payment, as determined by the audit, in which case the Payor shall be responsible for the expenses of that particular audit or other review or examination.

5. Operations and Indemnity

(a) The Payor may, but is not obliged to, stockpile, store, treat, mill, sort, concentrate, refine or otherwise process, beneficiate or upgrade the ores, concentrates and other products at sites located on or off the Property, prior to sale, transfer or conveyance to a purchaser, user or consumer.

(b) Any sale by the Payor of Product in the form of raw ore, doré, precipitates or concentrate made to an affiliate shall not be treated as a Sale for purposes of calculating the Royalty, provided that such Product is subsequently sold to an arm’s length purchaser within six months after receipt by the affiliate. Upon the Sale of such Product to an arm’s length party, the Royalty shall be calculated and payable in respect of such Sale to the arm’s length party. If an affiliate of the Payor does not sell such Product within six months of the initial sale of the Product by the Payor, the Royalty shall be immediately payable by the Payor in connection with the initial sale by the Payor to the affiliate and the Royalty shall be calculated based on the

  • 12 -

Applicable Spot Price on the date of the initial sale of the Product by the Payor to the affiliate. The Payor will be permitted to contract with an affiliate of the Payor or an unaffiliated third party for the smelting, refining or other processing of Products.

(c) The Payor indemnifies and holds the Royalty Holder harmless from and against any losses or damages arising from ownership and operation of the Property, including (i) exploration or mining operations on the Property, (ii) disposal of waste from the Property, (iii) reclamation of the Property, (iv) environmental liabilities arising in relation to operations on the Property, and (v) the marketing and sale of Product from the Property, it being understood and agreed between the Royalty Holder and the Payor that the Royalty is a right to receive certain payments from the Payor based upon Products produced from the Property and sold, but is not a right that imposes upon the Royalty Holder any associated or other obligations to the Payor or to any other person or entity, including any Governmental Authorities, or any obligation on the Royalty Holder to contribute or otherwise pay any cost or expense associated with or arising from any of the activities of the Payor on the Property.

(d) The indemnity in Section 5(c) is limited to losses, damages, claims, demands, liabilities, actions and proceedings that may be suffered or incurred by, or made or taken against, the Royalty Holder as a holder of the Royalty and will not include any indemnity with respect to any losses, damages, claims, demands, liabilities, actions and proceedings against the Royalty Holder in any other capacity, including in respect of the ownership by the Royalty Holder of an interest in the Payor or the Property prior to the date hereof. Nothing in Section 5(c) limits, affects or otherwise amends or varies any express agreement between the Payor and the Royalty Holder or an affiliate of the Royalty Holder, including the Purchase Agreement and the Environmental Indemnity and Release Agreement, in respect of any losses or damages arising from (i) ownership or operation of the Property or (ii) ownership of an interest in the Payor prior to the date hereof. In particular, nothing in Section 5(c) limits, affects or otherwise amends or varies any representation, warranty or indemnity provided by any affiliate of the Royalty Holder in the Purchase Agreement.

6. General Royalty Matters.

(a) If Product is produced from the Property, such activities may occur as part of a single operation with other mining properties owned by the Payor or its affiliates or in which the Payor or its affiliates have a direct or indirect interest, in which event the Parties agree that (notwithstanding separate ownership thereof) ores, metals, minerals or mineral products mined therefrom may be mixed or commingled at the time of mining or at any time thereafter and the Royalty shall be paid hereunder only with respect to Products mined or derived from the Property; provided, however, that the Payor or its affiliates shall calculate from representative samples the average grade thereof and other measures as are appropriate, and shall determine the weight or volume of and sample and analyse/assay all such materials before the same are so mixed or commingled. Any such determination of grade, weight or volume, sampling and analysis shall be made in accordance with sound and generally accepted sampling and analytic procedures and practices consistently applied. The weight or volume and the analysis so derived shall be used as the basis of proportionate allocation of payments in the event of a sale of materials so mixed or commingled. In addition, comparable procedures may be used by the Payor to apportion among any commingled Product any penalties and other charges and deductions, if any, imposed by the smelter, refiner or purchaser of such Product.

(b) The Payor shall ensure that customary and usual practices and procedures are adopted and employed for weighing, determining moisture content, sampling and assaying and

  • 13 -

determining recovery factors for the Products and other materials not from the Property, and shall record such data in order to determine the amount of economically recoverable materials extracted or derived from such minerals, metals and concentrates and materials not from the Property. The Payor shall maintain accurate records of the results of such sampling, weighing and analysis for a period of 365 days from the date that the Royalty Holder receives a statement prepared in accordance with Section 3(e) that relates to a Royalty payment and the Royalty Holder shall be permitted the right to examine such records relating to any blending and commingling of minerals, metals and concentrates and the materials not from the Property in accordance with the inspection rights in favour of the Royalty Holder set forth in Section 4(b).

(c) For the purpose of determining the amount of the Royalty payments required to be made to the Royalty Holder pursuant to Section 3, where applicable, all receipts and disbursements by any person in a non-United States currency will be converted into United States dollars on the basis of the daily exchange rate published by the Bank of Canada on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of receipt or disbursement by such person, as the case may be.

(d) Neither the Payor nor any of its affiliates shall have any obligation of any nature whatsoever to conduct exploration, development, production or mining activities or operations on or in respect of the Property with a view to protecting, enhancing or maximizing the economic benefits available to the Royalty Holder as contemplated herein. For certainty the Royalty Holder acknowledges and agrees that all decisions regarding the Property, including all decisions concerning the methods, extent, times, procedures and techniques of any: (i) exploration, development and mining related to the Property, including spending on capital expenditures; (ii) leaching, milling, processing or extraction; (iii) materials to be introduced on or to the Property; and (iv) sales of Product and terms thereof, shall be made by the Payor, in its sole and absolute discretion.

(e) Nothing in this Agreement precludes the Payor from undertaking Trading Activities. Any Trading Activities engaged in by the Payor or its affiliates in respect of Product produced from the Property, and the profits and losses generated thereby, shall not, in any manner, be taken into account in the calculation of Gross Revenues or Royalty payments due to the Royalty Holder hereunder, whether in connection with the determination of price, the date of Sale, the date any Royalty payment is due or in any other respect. In the case of Sales of Product pursuant to the terms of any Trading Contract, Gross Revenues shall be calculated based on the Applicable Spot Price on the date of Sale of such Product and not the sale price under the Trading Contract. The Royalty Holder acknowledges that the Payor and its affiliates engaging in Trading Activities may result in the Payor and its affiliates realizing from time to time lesser or greater profit for Product than does the Royalty Holder, since the quantum of the Royalty payments to be made hereunder in respect of sales pursuant to Trading Contracts is to be established by the Applicable Spot Price of the Product on the date of Sale. The Royalty Holder shall not be obligated to share in any profits or losses generated by any such Trading Activities with respect to any Product.

7. Assignment of Interests.

(a) Subject to Section 7(b), the Royalty Holder may, at any time, without the consent of the Payor, assign, transfer or otherwise convey all or any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any person or persons; provided, however, that that no such assignment, transfer or conveyance shall be effective unless the transferee has first executed and delivered to the Payor an instrument pursuant to which the transferee agrees to be bound by the terms hereof

  • 14 -

and by all of the liabilities and obligations of the transferor hereunder in the same manner and to the same extent as though the transferee was an original party hereto.

(b) Despite any assignment by the Royalty Holder, the Payor and its affiliates will not be or become liable to make payments in respect of a Royalty to, or to otherwise deal in any manner in respect of this Agreement with, more than one person. If the interests of the Royalty Holder under this Agreement are at any time owned by more than one person, those owners must, as a condition of receiving payment under this Agreement, nominate in writing one person to act as agent and common trustee for receipt of monies payable under this Agreement and to otherwise deal with the Payor in respect of such interests and no royalty owner will be entitled to administer or enforce any provisions of this Agreement except through such agent and trustee. After receipt of notice in accordance with Section 12 nominating an agent and trustee, the Payor will thereafter make, and be entitled without further enquiry to make, payments due under this Agreement in respect of a Royalty to that agent and trustee and to otherwise deal with that agent and trustee as if it were the sole holder of a Royalty.

(c) The Payor shall not assign, transfer, sell or otherwise dispose of its right, interest and obligations to and under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Royalty Holder, which may be withheld or conditioned in the Royalty Holder’s sole and absolute discretion, provided that the Payor shall be entitled to assign, transfer, sell or otherwise dispose of all or a portion of its right, interest and obligations to and under this Agreement without such consent in connection with a valid sale, transfer or assignment of all or a portion of the Property or the Mining Rights. No such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition shall be effective unless the transferee has first executed and delivered to the Royalty Holder an instrument pursuant to which the transferee agrees to be bound by the terms hereof and by all of the liabilities and obligations of Payor hereunder in the same manner and to the same extent as though the transferee was an original party hereto. Nothing in this Section 7(c) will prevent a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or a portion of the Property or Mining Rights to an affiliate of the Payor as long as, prior to such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition, the Payor causes any such affiliate to assume in writing the obligations to the Royalty Holder under this Agreement and to retransfer the Property and Mining Right to Payor before ceasing to be an affiliate of the Payor, and provided that the Payor provides to the Royalty Holder a guarantee in respect of the obligations of its affiliate hereunder on such terms that are acceptable to the Royalty Holder, in its sole discretion.

8. Royalty Purchase Option

(a) Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, but subject to Section 8(b), the Payor shall have the right to purchase from the Royalty Holder:

  • (i) at any time, but only once, 50% of the Royalty (the “ First Purchase Option ”) so that, after giving effect to the purchase pursuant to this Section 8(a)(i), the NSR Percentage will be 1%; and

  • (ii) concurrently with or any time after the exercise of the First Purchase Option, but only once, 50% of the Royalty (the “ Second Purchase Option ”) remaining after giving effect to the exercise of the First Purchase Option, so that, after giving effect to the purchase pursuant to this Section 8(a)(ii), the NSR Percentage will be 0.5%.

  • 15 -

(b) The Payor may not exercise the First Purchase Option unless the Red Pine/Wawa GP First Purchase Option is concurrently exercised under the Red Pine/Wawa GP NSR Agreement, and the Payor may not exercise the Second Purchase Option unless the Red Pine/Wawa GP Second Purchase Option is concurrently exercised under the Red Pine/Wawa GP NSR Agreement.

(c) The aggregate purchase price payable in connection with the exercise of the First Purchase Option and the Red Pine/Wawa GP First Purchase Option shall be Cdn.$750,000 (the “ First Purchase Option Purchase Price ”). The aggregate purchase price payable in connection with the exercise of the Second Purchase Option and the Red Pine/Wawa GP Second Purchase Option shall be Cdn.$1,000,000 (the “ Second Purchase Option Purchase Price ”). For certainty, the purchase price payable in connection with the concurrent exercise of (i) the First Purchase Option and the Red Pine/Wawa GP First Purchase Option and (ii) the Second Purchase Option and the Red Pine/Wawa GP Second Purchase Option shall be Cdn.$1,750,000.

(d) The Payor may exercise the First Purchase Option and the Second Purchase Option by providing an irrevocable written notice (in the case of any such exercise, an “ Election Notice ”) to the Royalty Holder setting out the option or options so exercised and a closing time for the applicable sale which shall be 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on a Business Day that is no less than 30 and no more than 60 days from the date of delivery of the Election Notice to the Royalty Holder (in the case of any such exercise, the “ Closing Date ”). The Closing Date shall be the same as the closing date in connection with the Red Pine/Wawa GP First Purchase Option and/or the Red Pine/Wawa GP Second Purchase Option, as applicable, under the Red Pine/Wawa GP NSR Agreement. On the Closing Date, the Payor shall pay to the Royalty Holder by wire transfer an amount in cash equal to the First Purchase Option Purchase Price, the Second Purchase Option Purchase Price and/or both, as applicable.

(e) For purposes of calculating the Royalty under this Agreement, the NSR Percentage following a Closing Date shall be the NSR Percentage after taking into account the exercise of the First Purchase Option and/or Second Purchase Option, as applicable. For certainty, the exercise of the First Purchase Option or the Second Purchase Option shall not relieve the Payor of the obligation to pay to the Royalty Holder any amounts owing under this Agreement up to, but excluding, the applicable Closing Date. Any such amounts shall be paid by the Payor to the Royalty Holder at the time of the next scheduled Payment Date.

9. Inspection of Facilities

The Royalty Holder and its Representatives shall have the right, upon reasonable notice, to inspect the facilities associated with the Property to the extent necessary to confirm the Payor’s proper performance of its obligations in this Agreement, provided that the Royalty Holder shall comply with all health, safety and operations protocols then in effect on the Property. Such inspection shall be at the sole risk of the Royalty Holder, and the Royalty Holder shall indemnify the Payor from any liability caused by the Royalty Holder’s exercise of inspection rights. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Payor hereby grants to the Royalty Holder, at the Royalty Holder’s sole risk and expense and upon reasonable notice: (a) a right of access by the Royalty Holder (and its Representatives) to the Property and to any facilities used by the Payor or any of its affiliates to process Products (provided that in the event such facility is not owned or controlled by the Payor or its affiliates, such right of access shall only be the same as any such right of access of the Payor or its affiliates); and (b) the right to (i) monitor the Payor’s stockpiling and milling of Products and to take samples thereof while on

  • 16 -

the Property or from any facility used by the Payor or any of its affiliates to process Products for purposes of assay verification; and (ii) to weigh or cause the Payor to weigh all trucks transporting Products to any facility processing Products prior to dumping such Products immediately following such dumping.

10. Surrender and Reacquisition

The Payor shall be entitled to surrender, allow to lapse or otherwise relinquish or terminate its interest in all or any part of the Mining Rights relating to the Property, provided that it shall give 30 days’ prior written notice to the Royalty Holder of its intention to do so. If the Payor surrenders, allows to lapse or otherwise relinquishes or terminates its interest in any of the Mining Rights relating to the Property and the Payor or any of its affiliates reacquires a direct or indirect interest in the land or minerals covered by such former Mining Rights, then from and after the date of such reacquisition such reacquired interest shall be included in the Property and the Royalty shall apply to such interest so acquired. The Payor shall give the Royalty Holder written notice of such reacquisition within 30 days of the reacquisition.

11. Applicable Law; Disputes

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

(b) Except as specified in Section 4(d), each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario over any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, (ii) agrees to commence such an action or proceeding in Toronto, Ontario, and to cooperate and use its commercially reasonable efforts to bring the action or proceeding before the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List), (iii) waives any objection that it might otherwise be entitled to assert to the jurisdiction of such courts and (iv) agrees not to assert that such courts are not a convenient forum for the determination of any such action or proceeding.

(c) Pending settlement or determination of any dispute, the Parties shall abide by their obligations under this Agreement without prejudice to a final adjustment in accordance with an order of a court settling such dispute.

The Payor acknowledges and agrees that the Royalty Holder may disclose Confidential Information to (a) its directors, officers and employees (and the directors, officers and employees of its affiliates), (b) its and its affiliates’ financial, accounting, legal and professional advisors, as well as its and its affiliates’ lenders, underwriters and investment bankers, and each of their respective directors, officers, partners or employees, and (c) any actual or prospective bona fide purchaser (whether direct or indirect) of the Royalty Holder’s rights, benefits or obligations under this Agreement (collectively, “ Representatives ”), in each such case provided that (x) each of such Representatives to whom Confidential Information is disclosed is advised of the confidentiality of such information and is directed to abide by the terms and conditions of this Section 13, and (y) the Royalty Holder shall be liable for any breach of this Section 13 by its Representatives.

14. Term and Real Property Interest

(a) The Payor and the Royalty Holder intend that the Royalty shall be perpetual and shall constitute a presently vested interest in and a covenant running with the Property which shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their respective, successors and assigns so long as the Payor or any successor or assign of the Payor holds any rights or interests in the Property. Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties hereby confirm that, notwithstanding anything else contained herein, the Royalty is to be treated as interest in real property for all purposes and, therefore, constitutes an estate, right interest or equity in registered land within the meaning of Section 71 of the Land Titles Act (Ontario). The Parties intend that the Royalty shall attach to any amendments, relocations, conversions, renewals or extensions of any Mining Right in respect of the Property made from time to time and, for certainty, such mining and mineral rights resulting therefrom shall constitute Mining Rights for purposes of this Agreement. The Payor shall provide the Royalty Holder with written notice no less than 30 days before any such amendment, relocation, conversion, renewal or extension is effected, and the Payor shall cooperate with the Royalty Holder to effect such registrations and recordings of the Royalty Holder’s interest in the Royalty against title to the Property as may be required in connection with any such amendment, relocation, conversion, renewal or extension in accordance with Section 14(b).

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent it is able to do so under applicable Legal Requirements, the Royalty Holder shall be entitled from time to time and at its sole cost and expense to register or record notice of its interest in the Royalty against title to the Property, the Mining Rights or elsewhere, including in respect of or as required in connection with any

  • 19 -

amendments, relocations, conversions, renewals or extensions contemplated in Section 14(a), and the Payor shall cooperate with the Royalty Holder to effect such registrations and recordings and provide its written consent to any documents in connection therewith and do such other things, at the cost and expense of the Royalty Holder, as soon as reasonably practicable as are necessary to effect any such registrations or recordings.

(c) The Parties do not intend that there be any violation of the rule against perpetuities. Accordingly, any right that is subject to such rule shall be exercised within the maximum time periods permitted under applicable law.

15. Successors and Assigns.

This Agreement shall enure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any person, other than the Parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.

16. General Contractual Provisions.

(a) Each of the Parties hereby covenants and agrees that at any time and from time to time after the date hereof it will, upon the request of the other, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further acts, deeds, assignments, transfers, conveyances and assurances as may be required for the purpose of giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) This Agreement may only be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified by written agreement signed by each of the Parties.

(c) Nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to constitute any Party as the partner, agent or legal representative of the other Party or to create any fiduciary relationship between them. It is not the intention of the Parties to create, nor shall this Agreement be construed to create, any mining, commercial or other partnership. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement or any subsequent agreement in writing executed by the Parties, each Party will have the right to independently engage in and receive full benefits from business activities, whether or not competitive with the other’s activities, without consulting the other Parties. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Party will be free to acquire for its own account, free of any liability, duty or obligation to the other Parties arising out of this Agreement, any mineral rights located anywhere within or outside the area of land comprising the Property, without regard to any doctrine of “corporate opportunity” or “business opportunity”, and regardless of whether any Confidential Information is used.

  1. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Counterpart signature pages to this Agreement may be delivered by facsimile or electronic delivery (i.e., by email of a PDF signature page or by electronic signature) and each such counterpart signature page will constitute an original for all purposes.
