Upon surrender of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share for cancellation with the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed, and/or such other documents as may reasonably be requested by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor: (A) a certificate or book-entry representing that number of Eurasian Shares that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article 3 after taking into account all the Bullion Shares then held by such holder under all such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares so surrendered and (B) a check for the cash that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article 3, including (1) the Cash Consideration portion of the Merger Consideration (2) any dividends or other distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 3.2(c), and (3) any cash in lieu of fractional Eurasian Shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 3.2(d), and the Certificate or Book-Entry Share so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Bullion Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of Bullion, (x) a certificate or book-entry representing the number of Eurasian Shares comprising the Share Consideration portion of the Merger Consideration and (y) a check for the proper amount of cash (i) comprising the Cash Consideration portion of the Merger Consideration, (ii) comprising any dividends or other distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 3.2(c), and (iii) any cash in lieu of fractional Eurasian Shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 3.2(d) shall be issued to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered, if, upon presentation to the Exchange Agent, such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such issuance shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance of Eurasian Shares to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that any such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. The Eurasian Shares constituting the Share Consideration, at Eurasian’s option, shall be in uncertificated book-entry form unless a physical certificate is requested by a holder of Bullion Shares or is otherwise required under applicable Law. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.2(b), each Certificate and Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender, the Merger Consideration, any dividends or other distributions to which the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share is entitled pursuant to Section 3.2(c) and any cash in lieu of fractional Eurasian Shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 3.2(d). No interest will be paid or will accrue for the benefit of holders of Bullion Shares on the Merger Consideration or on any other cash payable to holders of Bullion Shares pursuant to this Article 3.

Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions with respect to Eurasian Shares with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share with respect to any Eurasian Shares that the holder thereof has the right to receive upon the surrender thereof, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional Eurasian Shares shall be paid to any holder pursuant to Section 3.2(d), in each case, until the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall surrender such Certificate or Book-Entry Share in accordance with this Article 3. Following surrender of any Certificate or Book-Entry Share, there shall be paid to the holder thereof, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, in addition to all other amounts to which such holder is entitled under this Article 3, the amount of dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such Eurasian Shares with a record date after the Effective Time and paid with respect to Eurasian Shares prior to such surrender and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such Eurasian Shares.

     
  (d)

Fractional Shares. No fractional Eurasian Share will be issued in connection with the exchange pursuant to the provisions of this Article 3, no dividends or other distributions with respect to Eurasian Shares shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share and no such fractional share shall entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a shareholder of Eurasian, but rather holders of Bullion Shares otherwise entitled to a fractional Eurasian Share will receive cash in lieu thereof based on one whole Eurasian Share being valued at the volume weighted average price on the TSX-V of a Eurasian Share for the five trading days ending on the trading day which is three trading days prior to the Closing Date.

     
  (e)

Investment of Exchange Fund. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Eurasian, provided that (i) no such investment gains or losses thereon shall affect the amounts payable to the holders of Bullion Shares pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) following any losses in the Exchange Fund, Eurasian shall promptly provide additional funds to the Exchange Agent to the extent such losses result in the amount of cash in the Exchange Fund being less than the amounts that remain payable to the holders of Bullion Shares under this Agreement and (iii) such investments shall be in (A) short-term obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United States of America or Canada with maturities of no more than 30 days or (B) commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC, respectively.

  (g)

Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of Bullion Shares one year after the Effective Time shall be returned to Eurasian, upon demand, and any former holder of Bullion Shares shall thereafter look only to Eurasian for issuance of the Merger Consideration or any dividends or other distributions to which such holder is entitled with respect to Eurasian Shares and cash in lieu of any fractional Eurasian Share in accordance with this Article 3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Eurasian, Merger Sub, Bullion, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any holder of Bullion Shares for any amounts paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. Any securities or cash remaining unclaimed by holders of Bullion Shares two (2) years after the Effective Time (or such earlier date, immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority) shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of Eurasian free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

3.3 Dissent Rights. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, including Section 3.1, Bullion Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares cancelled in accordance with Section 3.1(a)) and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who has properly exercised appraisal rights of such shares in accordance with Section 16-10a-1321 of the Utah Act (“Dissent Rights”) (such Bullion Shares being referred to collectively as the “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect or otherwise loses such holder’s Dissent Rights under the Utah Act with respect to such shares) shall not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration, but instead shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by Sections 16-10a-1301 through 16-10a-1331 of the Utah Act; provided, however, that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or loses such holder’s Dissent Rights pursuant to Section 16-10a-1323 of the Utah Act or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Sections 16-10a-1301 through 16-10a-1331 of the Utah Act, such Bullion Shares shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.1(b), without interest thereon, upon surrender of such Certificate formerly representing such share or transfer of such Book-Entry Share, as the case may be. Bullion shall provide Eurasian prompt written notice of any demands received by Bullion for appraisal of the Bullion Shares, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to Bullion prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the Utah Act that relates to such demand, and Eurasian shall have the opportunity and right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Except with the prior written consent of Eurasian, Bullion shall not make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands.

3.4 Lost Certificates. If any Certificate 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 and, if reasonably requested by Eurasian, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable and customary amount as Eurasian may reasonably request as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent with respect to such Certificate, Eurasian shall cause the Exchange Agent to issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration and any dividends or other distributions to which the holder of such Certificate would be entitled pursuant to Section 3.2(c) and cash in lieu of any fractional Eurasian Share to which such holder would be entitled pursuant to Section 3.2(d), in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

3.5 Withholding Rights. Each of the Exchange Agent, Eurasian, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Article 3 such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of any applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by the Exchange Agent, Eurasian, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which the Exchange Agent, Eurasian, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.


- 14 -

3.6 Bullion Warrants. The Bullion Warrants outstanding at the Effective Time shall be deemed to be exchanged at the Effective Time for warrants or other rights to receive the Merger Consideration. Each Bullion Warrant so exchanged (each, a “Substitute Warrant”) shall be exercisable upon the same terms and conditions as under the applicable agreement evidencing the Bullion Warrant, except that (A) each such Substitute Warrant shall be exercisable for, and represent the right to acquire, in lieu of one Bullion Share, (i) 0.45 of a Eurasian Share, and (ii) $0.11 in cash, on the same terms and conditions as the original Bullion Warrant. Eurasian shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of Eurasian Shares for delivery upon exercise of Substitute Warrant pursuant to the terms set forth in this Section 3.6.

  (b)

any amalgamation, merger, sale of all or any part of its assets, take-over bid, tender offer, plan of arrangement, issuer bid, reorganization, dividend or distribution, recapitalization, liquidation or winding-up of, or other business combination or similar transaction involving Bullion and all or any material part of its assets; or

     
  (c)

any other transaction the consummation of which would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, prevent or materially delay the Merger (any of (a), (b) or (c) being a “Competing Transaction”),

provided, however that Bullion shall not be prohibited from considering, discussing, negotiating or providing any information (including access to its management) to a Third Party in respect of a bona fide unsolicited proposal to the Bullion Board or the Bullion shareholders, that the Bullion Board has (i) determined, in its good faith judgment (after having received the advice of a financial advisor), that such proposal or offer constitutes a Superior Proposal (as defined below), (ii) determined, in its good faith judgment upon the receipt of advice of independent legal counsel, that, in light of such Superior Proposal, the furnishing of such information or entering into discussions is required to comply with its fiduciary obligations to Bullion and its shareholders under applicable Law, (iii) provided written notice to Eurasian of its intent to furnish information or enter into discussions with such person at least five (5) Business Days prior to taking any such action, and (iv) obtained from such person an executed confidentiality agreement on terms no more favorable than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement (it being understood that such confidentiality agreement and any related agreements shall not include any provision calling for any exclusive right to negotiate with such party or having the effect of prohibiting it from satisfying its obligations under this Agreement). Bullion shall promptly notify Eurasian (within no more than 48 hours) of the communication or receipt of any information relating to any Competing Transaction, any request for information that could reasonably be expected to be related to a Competing Transaction or any request for discussions or negotiations that could reasonably be expected to be related to a Competing Transaction, indicating, in connection with such notice, the identity of the person making such proposal or request and the material terms and conditions thereof. Bullion shall keep Eurasian reasonably informed on a current basis (within no more than 48 hours) of any material developments in the status and terms of such proposal or request (including whether such Competing Transaction proposal has been withdrawn or rejected and any material change to the terms thereof) and shall concurrently provide Eurasian with copies of any material written information or materials that it provides to the person making the request therefor that have not previously been provided to Eurasian.


- 50 -

Except as set forth in this Section 5.7, the Bullion Board (or any committee thereof) shall not approve or recommend, or cause or permit Bullion to enter into any letter of intent, agreement or obligation with respect to, any Competing Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Bullion Board determines, in its good faith judgment prior to receipt of approval of the Merger from its shareholders and after receipt of legal advice of independent legal counsel, that it is required to do so to comply with its fiduciary obligations under applicable Law, the Bullion Board may recommend a Superior Proposal, but only (i) after providing written notice to the Eurasian Board (a “Notice of Superior Proposal”) advising it that the Bullion Board has received a Superior Proposal, specifying the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal and identifying the person making such Superior Proposal and indicating that the Bullion Board intends to approve or recommend, or cause or permit Bullion to enter into any letter of intent, agreement or obligation with respect to the Superior Proposal and the manner in which it intends (or may intend) to do so, and (ii) if Eurasian does not, within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of the Notice of Superior Proposal, make an offer that the Bullion Board determines, in its good faith judgment (after having received the advice of a financial advisor) to be at least as favorable to its shareholders as such Superior Proposal. During the period from Eurasian’s receipt of the Notice of Superior Proposal until the end of such five (5) Business Day period, Bullion shall, if requested by Eurasian, negotiate in good faith with Eurasian to revise this Agreement so that the Competing Transaction that constituted a Superior Proposal no longer constitutes a Superior Proposal. Any disclosure that the Bullion Board may be compelled to make with respect to the receipt of a proposal or offer for a Competing Transaction or otherwise in order to comply with its fiduciary obligations under applicable Law or Rule 14d-9 or 14e-2 under the Exchange Act or to comply with any other applicable Law, will not constitute a violation of this Agreement, provided that such disclosure states that no action will be taken by the Bullion Board in violation of this Section 5.7. Except as permitted in this Section 5.7, Bullion shall not submit to the vote of its shareholders any Competing Transaction, or propose to do so.

A “Superior Proposal” means an unsolicited written bona fide offer made by a Third Party to consummate any of the following transactions: (i) a merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination or other similar transaction involving Bullion pursuant to which the shareholders of Bullion immediately preceding such transaction would hold less than 50% of the equity interest in the surviving or resulting entity of such transaction; or (ii) the acquisition by any Person or group (including by means of a tender offer or an exchange offer or a two-step transaction involving a tender offer followed with reasonable promptness by a cash-out merger involving Bullion), directly or indirectly, of ownership of a majority of the then outstanding Bullion Shares, in each case on terms (including conditions to consummation of the contemplated transaction) that the Bullion Board determines, in its good faith judgment (after having received the advice of independent legal counsel and a financial advisor), to be (A) more favorable to the shareholders of Bullion than the Merger (taking into account probability of closing and all other terms and conditions of such proposal and this Agreement and any changes to the financial terms of this Agreement proposed by Eurasian in response to such offer or otherwise), and (B) reasonably capable of being completed taking into account all legal, regulatory and other aspects of such and for which financing, to the extent required, is then committed.


- 51 -

Bullion shall not release any third party from or waive any provision of any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which it is a party.

5.8 Eurasian Board. Eurasian shall take all such action as may be necessary (i) to cause the number of directors comprising the Eurasian Board as of the Effective Time to be increased to seven, (ii) to cause James A. Morris (or, if he is unwilling or unable to serve as a member of the Eurasian Board for any reason, such other individual as Bullion and Eurasian may agree) to be appointed to the Eurasian Board as of the Effective Time, to serve until the next annual election of directors of Eurasian, and (ii) immediately following the Effective Time to cause R. Don Morris to be appointed to the Advisory Board of Eurasian. In connection with such next annual election of directors of Eurasian, Eurasian shall take all such action as may be necessary to include James A. Morris (or, if he is unwilling or unable to serve as a member of the Eurasian Board for any reason, such other individual as Bullion and Eurasian may agree) as a nominee for the Eurasian Board recommended by the Eurasian Board for election by Eurasian’s shareholders.

5.9 Listing. Eurasian shall promptly prepare and submit to the TSX-V or such other stock exchange or exchanges upon which Eurasian Shares are then listed (the “Applicable Exchanges”) an application covering the Eurasian Shares to be issued in connection with the Merger and pursuant to the Substitute Warrants, and shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain, prior to the Effective Time, conditional approval of the Applicable Exchanges for the listings of such Eurasian Shares, subject to the customary post-closing deliveries to the Applicable Exchanges, and Bullion shall cooperate with Eurasian with respect to such listing.

5.10 Employee Matters.

  (a)

All obligations of Bullion to officers or employees of Bullion or its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date shall have been paid by Bullion or its Subsidiaries at or prior to the Effective Time. Except for Phillip Manning, Rob Morris and any other officers and employees of Bullion or its Subsidiaries designated in writing by Eurasian to Bullion, effective immediately following the Effective Time, Bullion shall terminate, or cause to resign, all United States-based officers and employees of Bullion and each of its Subsidiaries and, following payment immediately after the Effective Time of any severance obligations specifically disclosed in the Bullion Disclosure Letter to such Persons and, except (i) as contemplated in Section 5.10(b), (ii) in the case of Bullion’s officers, for the obligations set forth in Section 5.11 and (iii) the obligation to offer COBRA continuation coverage in accordance with applicable Law, neither the Surviving Corporation nor Eurasian shall have any Liability to any such Persons at or after the Effective Time.

5.14 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, Bullion shall take all such steps as may be required to cause to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act any dispositions of Bullion Shares (including derivative securities with respect to such shares) that are treated as dispositions under such rule and result from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each director or officer of Bullion who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to Bullion.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall (i) make promptly its respective filings, and thereafter make any other required submissions, under applicable Laws with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws or otherwise to consummate and make effective the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, using its reasonable best efforts to obtain all permits, consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications and orders of Governmental Authorities and parties to contracts with Bullion or Eurasian or their respective Subsidiaries as are necessary for the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby.
