                          (b)        Each Seller is obtaining the Closing EFI Shares for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to resale or distribution and, in particular, it has no intention to distribute either directly or indirectly any of the Closing EFI Shares in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person; provided, however, this paragraph shall not restrict each Seller from selling or otherwise disposing of any of the Closing EFI Shares pursuant to registration thereof pursuant to the 1933 Act and any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States or under an applicable exemption from such registration requirements;

6


                          (c)        Each Seller understands that upon the issuance thereof, and until such time as the same is no longer required under the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act or applicable U.S. state laws and regulations, and pursuant to the process set forth in Section 5.16(b), the certificates representing the Closing EFI Shares, and all securities issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof, will bear a legend in substantially the following form (the “U.S. Legend”):

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “1933 ACT”) OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE HOLDER HEREOF, BY PURCHASING SUCH SECURITIES, AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF ENERGY FUELS INC. (THE “CORPORATION”) THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ONLY (A) TO THE CORPORATION OR PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE 1933 ACT, (B) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE 1933 ACT AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS, (C) IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE 1933 ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER, IF AVAILABLE, AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES OR “BLUE SKY” LAWS, OR (D) IN A TRANSACTION THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE 1933 ACT OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND, IN THE CASE OF SUBPARAGRAPH (B), (C) OR (D), THE SELLER FURNISHES TO THE CORPORATION AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION TO SUCH EFFECT. DELIVERY OF THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT CONSTITUTE “GOOD DELIVERY” IN SETTLEMENT OF TRANSACTIONS ON STOCK EXCHANGES IN CANADA. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, SUBJECT TO COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES. HEDGING TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY NOT BE CONDUCTED UNLESS IN COMPLIANCE WITH U.S. SECURITIES LAWS.”

Certificates evidencing the Closing EFI Shares shall not be required to contain the U.S. Legend set forth above (i) following any sale pursuant to an effective registration statement covering the resale of such Closing EFI Shares, (ii) following any sale of such Closing EFI Shares pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming the transferor is not an affiliate of EFI), (iii) following any sale of such Closing EFI Shares if such Closing EFI Shares are eligible to be sold, assigned or transferred under Rule 144 (provided that a Seller provides EFI with reasonable assurances that such Closing EFI Shares are eligible for sale, assignment or transfer under Rule 144 which shall not include an opinion of Seller’s counsel), (iv) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer (other than under Rule 144), provided that such Seller provides EFI with an opinion of counsel of such Seller, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of the Closing EFI Shares may be made without registration under the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act and that such restrictive U.S. Legend is no longer required, (v) following twelve months after the Closing Date pursuant to Rule 144 provided that the full purchase price for the Closing EFI Shares is delivered by the Seller to the Buyer on the Closing Date or (vi) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the 1933 Act (including, without limitation, controlling judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the SEC), provided that such Seller provides EFI with an opinion of counsel of such Seller, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the 1933 Act;

7


                          (d)        Each Seller has had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from EFI regarding the acquisition of the Closing EFI Shares, and has received all the information regarding EFI that it has requested;

                          (e)        Each Seller consents to EFI making a notation on its records or giving instruction to the registrar and transfer agent of EFI in order to implement the restrictions on transfer with respect to the Closing EFI Shares set forth and described herein and understands that EFI may instruct its registrar and transfer agent not to record any transfer of any securities of EFI without first being notified by EFI that it is satisfied that such transfer is exempt from or not subject to the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and applicable securities laws of any state of the United States;

                          (f)        Each Seller received and accepted the offer of the Closing EFI Shares at Buyer's office in Lakewood, Colorado;

                          (g)        Each Seller acknowledges that the Closing EFI Shares are highly speculative in nature and such Seller has such sophistication and experience in business and financial matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment. In connection with the delivery of the Closing EFI Shares, each Seller has not relied upon EFI for investment, legal or tax advice, or other professional advice, and has in all cases sought or elected not to seek the advice of its own personal investment advisers, legal counsel and tax advisers. Each Seller is able, without impairing its financial condition, to bear the economic risk of, and withstand a complete loss of the investment and it can otherwise be reasonably assumed to have the capacity to protect its own interest in connection with its investment in the Closing EFI Shares;

                          (h)        The Closing EFI Shares will be issued in reliance on the exemption from Canadian prospectus requirements set out in Section 2.13 of National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions adopted by the Canadian Securities Administrators and will be subject to a four-month restricted period under Section 2.5 of National Instrument 45-102 – Resale of Securities adopted by the Canadian Securities Administrators. Accordingly, the certificates representing the Closing EFI Shares will also bear the following additional legend (the “Canadian Legend”):

8


“UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY BEFORE [INSERT THE DATE THAT IS 4 MONTHS AND A DAY AFTER THE DISTRIBUTION DATE]”

            (i)        The certificate(s) evidencing the Closing EFI Shares shall also bear an additional legend (the “TSX Legend”) as required by Section 607.1 of the TSX Company Manual, substantially in the form below:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE LISTED ON THE TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE (“TSX”); HOWEVER, THE SAID SECURITIES CANNOT BE TRADED THROUGH THE FACILITIES OF TSX SINCE THEY ARE NOT FREELY TRANSFERABLE, AND CONSEQUENTLY ANY CERTIFICATE REPRESENTING SUCH SECURITIES IS NOT “GOOD DELIVERY” IN SETTLEMENT OF TRANSACTIONS ON TSX.”

In accordance with Section 607.1 of the TSX Company Manual, the TSX Legend may be removed at such time as both the Canadian Legend and the U.S. Legend have been removed. At such time, EFI shall cause its transfer agent to remove such restrictive legends and provide Sellers with one or more certificates for the EFI Shares as instructed by Sellers free from any restrictive legends, pursuant to Section 5.16(b) below.

5.7          Investor Relations and Marketing. Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict Buyer, EFI and their Affiliates from engaging in such investor relations or marketing activities as they determine to be in their best interests prior to Closing, provided that such investor relations or marketing activities are not entered into for the purpose of manipulating the number of EFI Shares to be issued to Sellers as of Closing.

5.8          Expenses and Remaining Cash. Regardless of the amounts actually spent by the Company in 2016, Sellers will be responsible to pay to Buyer at Closing $204,228, which is 40% of the $510,570 Company budget for the first quarter of 2016. This amount of $204,228 will be deducted from the $276,946 amount available in Sellers’ accounts with the Company as at the date of execution of this Agreement, and the remaining balance of $72,718 will be returned to Sellers at the Closing, pro rata in accordance with their Ownership Interests in the Company. Sellers will not be responsible for the payment of any amounts of the Company’s budget for the second, third or fourth quarters of 2016, or any non-budgeted amounts.

                          (b)        Any sales of the Closing EFI Shares by or on behalf of Sellers after the Closing will be in an orderly manner, without undue influence on the market price of the EFI Shares.

                          (c)        Sellers or their Affiliates shall have a right of first refusal to act as sole agent for marketing any production from the Project to utilities geographically located in Japan, in accordance with the following provisions.

If the parties are unable to reach such agreement within 60 days after Sellers’ receipt of Buyer’s notice, Buyer may seek and obtain an offer from an agent and notify Sellers of the terms and conditions offered by such agent. Sellers shall have the right to match the same terms and conditions offered by such agent by notice to Buyer given within 10 days after receipt of Buyers notice of the terms and conditions offered by the agent. If Sellers decline to match the terms and conditions offered by the agent or Sellers fail to notify Buyer within such 10-day period, Sellers rights under this Section 5.11(c) shall terminate and be null and void and Buyer may enter into an agreement with the agent or any other party.

5.12        Listing. EFI shall promptly secure the listing or designation for quotation (as the case may be) of all of the Closing EFI Shares upon each national securities exchange and automated quotation system, if any, upon which the EFI Shares are then listed or designated for quotation (as the case may be) (subject to official notice of issuance) and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain such listing or designation for quotation (as the case may be) of all EFI Shares on such national securities exchange or automated quotation system for a period of twelve months after the Closing Date. EFI shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the EFI Shares’ listing or authorization for quotation (as the case may be) on the Toronto Stock Exchange and any of The New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE MKT, the Nasdaq Global Market or the Nasdaq Global Select Market (each, an “Eligible Market”) for a period of twelve months after the Closing Date. Neither EFI nor any of its Affiliates shall take any action which could be reasonably expected to result in the delisting or suspension of the EFI Shares on an Eligible Market for a period of twelve months after the Closing Date, provided that nothing in this Agreement would prohibit EFI from entering into a business combination or any other transaction that would result in EFI terminating its listing or designation for quotation (as the case may be) of the EFI Shares on any national securities exchange or automated quotation system. EFI shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations under this Section 5.12.

14


5.13        Reporting Status. Until twelve months after the Closing Date, EFI shall use commercially reasonable efforts to timely file all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the 1934 Act and to continue its status as an issuer required to file reports under the 1934 Act, provided that nothing in this Agreement would prohibit EFI from entering into a business combination or any other transaction that would result in EFI terminating its status as an issuer required to file reports under the 1934 Act.

5.14        Pledge of Closing EFI Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, EFI acknowledges and agrees that, subject to compliance will all applicable laws, the Closing EFI Shares may be pledged by Sellers in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan or financing arrangement that is secured by the Closing EFI Shares.

5.15        Additional Registration Statements. Until the Applicable Date (as defined below) and at any time thereafter EFI fails for any reason to satisfy the requirements of Rule 144(c)(1), including, without limitation, the failure to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) or EFI has ever been an issuer described in Rule 144(i)(1)(i) or becomes such an issuer in the future, and EFI shall fail to satisfy any condition set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) (a “Current Public Information Failure”), EFI shall not file a registration statement under the 1933 Act relating to securities that are not the Closing EFI Shares (other than a registration statement on Form S-8 or such supplements or amendments to registration statements that are outstanding and have been declared effective by the SEC as of the date hereof (solely to the extent necessary to keep such registration statements effective and available)). “Applicable Date” means the first date on which all of the Closing EFI Shares are eligible to be resold by the Sellers pursuant to Rule 144 (or, if a Current Public Information Failure has occurred and is continuing, such later date after which EFI has cured such Current Public Information Failure)

15


5.16        Transfer Agent Instructions and Legends for the Closing EFI Shares.

                          (a)        Transfer Agent Instructions. Six months after the Closing Date, provided that the full purchase price is delivered by the Seller to the Buyer for the Closing EFI Shares on the Closing Date (or six months after the date such full purchase price is delivered, if otherwise), EFI shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent and any subsequent transfer agent (as applicable, the “Transfer Agent”) in a form acceptable to each of the Sellers (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”) to issue certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), registered in the name of each Seller or its respective nominee(s), for the Closing EFI Shares. EFI represents and warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 5.16(a), and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 3.7(c) hereof, will be given by EFI to its transfer agent with respect to the Closing EFI Shares, and that the Closing EFI Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the EFI, as applicable, to the extent provided in this Agreement. If a Seller effects a sale, assignment or transfer of the Closing EFI Shares in accordance with Section 3.7(c), EFI shall permit the transfer and shall promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Seller to effect such sale, transfer or assignment, and shale provide any documents reasonably requested by the transfer agent. In the event that such sale, assignment or transfer involves Closing EFI Shares transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement or in compliance with Rule 144, the transfer agent shall issue such shares to such Seller, assignee or transferee (as the case may be) without any restrictive legend in accordance with Section 5.16(b) below. EFI acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to a Seller. Accordingly, EFI acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 5.16(a) will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by EFI of the provisions of this Section 5.16(a), that a Seller shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. Any fees (with respect to the transfer agent, counsel to EFI or otherwise) associated with the issuance of any opinion or the removal of any legends on any of the Closing EFI Shares shall be borne by EFI.

                          (b)        Removal of Legends. If a U.S. Legend and a Canadian Legend is not required, EFI shall no later than three (3) Canadian Business Days following the delivery by a Seller to EFI’s transfer agent (with notice to EFI and an email notification to ***@***) of a legended certificate representing such Closing EFI Shares (endorsed or with stock powers attached, medallion guaranteed, and otherwise in form necessary to affect the reissuance and/or transfer, if applicable), together with any other deliveries from such Seller as may be reasonably required by EFI, its legal counsel or EFI’s transfer agent (including the submission of the deposit/withdrawal at custodian (DWAC) instructions from the broker of the purchaser of such Closing EFI Shares, if applicable), as directed by such Seller, either: (A) provided that EFI’s transfer agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit the aggregate number of EFI Shares to which such Seller is entitled to such Seller’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system or (B) if the EFI’s transfer agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to such Seller, a certificate representing such EFI Shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends, registered in the name of such Seller or its designee (the date by which such credit is so required to be made to the balance account of such Seller’s or such Seller’s designee with DTC or such certificate is required to be delivered to such Seller pursuant to the foregoing is referred to herein as the “Required Delivery Date”). EFI shall be responsible for any transfer agent fees or DTC fees with respect to any issuance EFI Shares or the removal of any legends with respect to any Closing EFI Shares in accordance herewith.

16


                          (c)        Failure to Timely Deliver; Buy-In. In addition to any other rights available to the Sellers, if Sellers have made all notifications and deliveries to the Transfer Agent and EFI contemplated by paragraph (b), EFI fails, for any reason or for no reason, to issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to a Seller (or its designee) by the later of the Required Delivery Date and three (3) Canadian Business Days after receipt by the Transfer Agent and EFI of all such required notifications and deliveries, and if after such date such Seller is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or such Seller’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, EFI Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Seller of the Closing EFI Shares (a “Buy-In”), then EFI shall (1) pay in cash to the Seller the amount by which (x) the Seller’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the EFI Shares so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Closing EFI Shares that EFI was required to deliver times (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed. For example, if such Seller purchases EFI Shares having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted sale of Closing EFI Shares with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence EFI shall be required to pay such Seller $1,000. Such Seller shall provide EFI with written notice indicating the amounts payable to such Seller in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of EFI, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing shall limit such Seller’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to EFI’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing EFI Shares (or to electronically deliver such shares) as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

                          (d)        Removal of Legend After Holding Period. The Sellers shall submit a request to EFI’s transfer agent, pursuant to Section 5.16(b), to remove all remaining U.S. Legends and Canadian Legends on the Closing EFI Shares within (3) Canadian Business Days after the twelve month holding period required under Rule 144 of the 1933 Act has lapsed.

5.17        Further Assurances. Following the Closing, each of the parties hereto shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, conveyances and assurances and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions hereof and give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
