4.3 Regular Contributions. Prior to completion of Initial Earn-In, UPC shall be solely responsible for funding all Programs and Budgets and for maintaining the Property. Subsequent to the Initial Earn-In, except as provided in Section 4.2, the Parties shall be obligated to contribute funds to Programs and Budgets in proportion to their respective Participating Interests. UPC or Uranium Group may, by notice within fifteen (15) days after the final vote approving a Program and Budget, elect to limit its contribution to a Program and Budget to some lesser amount than its respective Participating Interest or

not at all, in which case the Participating Interest of the non-contributing Party shall be diluted as prescribed in Section 5.2; provided, however, that with respect to a Program and Budget that first calls for commencement of development of a mine on the Property, Uranium Group shall have ninety (90) days after the final vote approving such Program and Budget in which to make its election. If a Party elects to limit its contribution pursuant to this Section, the other Party may contribute the non-contributed amount in whole or in part for its own behalf.

4.4 Revolving Loan. UPC agrees to make available US$1,000,000 to Uranium Group a revolving loan that Uranium Group can draw upon for up to three years following completion of the Initial Earn-In to fund its obligations under this Amended and Restated Agreement. The outstanding balance of any amounts borrowed from such fund shall bear simple interest of 8.0% per annum from the date borrowed until repaid, whether during or after such three year period. Uranium Group may repay any amounts borrowed from any source but must allocate 90.0% of any amounts distributed to it from sale of products produced from the Properties.

5. PARTICIPATING INTERESTS.

5.1 Initial Participating Interests.

5.1.1  Upon completion of Initial Earn-In and exercise of the Initial Option, the Parties shall have the following Initial Participating Interests: UPC - 70% and Uranium Group - 30%; provided that these respective percentages may subsequently be adjusted pursuant to Section 5.2.

5.1.2  Upon completion of Additional Earn-In and exercise of the Additional Option, the Parties shall have the following Initial Participating Interests: UPC - 85% and Uranium Group - 15%; provided that these respective percentages may subsequently be adjusted pursuant to Section 5.2.

5.2  Voluntary Reduction in Participation. If a Party elects to contribute to a Program and Budget some lesser amount than its respective Participating Interest, or not at all pursuant to Section 4.2, the respective Participating Interests of the Parties shall be recalculated at the time of election by dividing; (i) the sum of (a) the deemed value of the Party’s Initial Contribution under Section 4.1, (b) the total of all of the Party’s Regular Contributions under Section 4.2, and (c) the amount, if any, the Party elects to contribute to a Program and Budget; by (ii) the sum of (a), (b) and (c) above for both Parties, and then multiplying the result by one hundred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Party makes such election and the Manager does not spend at least 85% of the amount budgeted in such Program and Budget, the electing Party may pay in its proportionate share of the amount actually spent and have its interest restored.

5.3  Default in Making Contributions. Both of the Parties hereby grant to the other a lien on all its rights upon any and all mineral production which may be obtained from the

Property to secure its performance of any obligation hereunder. Each Party agrees to execute in due course and from time to time any and all other additional documents which the other Party may require as evidence of such lien. If a Party defaults in making a contribution or Cash Call required by a Program and Budget, the non-defaulting Party may elect to have the defaulting Party’s Participating Interest reduced according to the formula set forth in Section 5.2.

5.4 Elimination of Minority Interest. Upon the reduction of a Party’s Participating Interest to ten percent (10%) or less pursuant to Section 5.2 or 5.3, the Party shall be deemed to have withdrawn from the Venture and shall be deemed to have elected to permanently convert its Participating Interest to a 10% Net Profits Interest or a 2% Gross Income Royalty as detailed in Exhibit “C”. Upon such election, the withdrawing Party shall convey its Participating Interest to the non-withdrawing Party and thereafter the withdrawing Party shall have no right, title or interest under this Amended and Restated Agreement except for the right to receive the Net Profits Interest or Gross Income Royalty in accordance with the terms of this Section and Exhibit “C”. A determination as to whether the withdrawing Party elects to receive a 2% Gross Income Royalty or a 10% Net Profits Interest shall be made initially within thirty (30) days of the date of withdrawal. Each year thereafter, the withdrawing Party shall notify the non-withdrawing Party no later than December 1 of such year if it elects to receive the Gross Income Royalty or the Net Profits Interest for the following year, which election will be binding for the following year. The non-withdrawing Party shall provide to the withdrawing Party a current calculation of both the Gross Income Royalty and the Net Profits Interest within 30 days of the end of each calendar quarter. In the event no such election is made, the withdrawing Party shall be deemed to have made the then current election.

5.5 Continuing Liabilities Upon Adjustments of Participating Interests. Any reduction or elimination of a Party’s Participating Interest shall not relieve such Party of its share of any liability, whether it accrues before or after such reduction, arising out of operations conducted hereunder prior to such reduction or elimination.

6. HOLDING OF TITLE

Form Mining Venture Agreement (Form 5-1984) to incorporate the terms of this Amended and Restated Agreement.

9.14 Specific Performance. Each Party shall have the remedy of specific performance of the obligations set forth herein.

9.15 No Partition. No Party shall seek the partition or sale in lieu thereof of the Property and the Parties hereby waive any right of partition, or sale in lieu thereof, whether created by statue or otherwise.

9.16 Liens, Burdens, Claims and Encumbrances. Except as approved by the management committee consistent with the voting requirements set out above, the Parties agree that the Property and their respective Participating Interests in the Venture will be maintained free and clear of any liens, burdens, claims or encumbrances. Each of the Parties shall immediately advise each other of any adverse claim against the Property which comes to its knowledge. The Manager shall prosecute and defend, but shall not initiate without consent of the management committee as provided above, all litigation or administrative proceedings arising out of operations.

9.17 Management Fee. In addition to reimbursement for direct costs, the Manager shall receive as compensation for its services as Manager and in lieu of all off-site overhead costs, a management fee not to exceed (i) ten percent (10%) of direct costs associated with exploration activities and (ii) two percent (2%) of direct costs associated with contract work related to development and mining and the purchase of capital equipment. Provided further that the time of Mr. Chris Healey spent directly in planning or directing operations on the Property or in supervising the obtaining of or analysis of data obtained from the Property, as opposed to participating in general management affairs, shall be a “direct cost” not an “overhead cost.” It is the intent of the Parties that the management fee should reimburse the Manager for all reasonable costs it incurs as serving as Manager and that the Manager shall not earn a profit or incur a loss in serving as Manager. The parties agree to periodically review and adjust, if necessary, the rate of the management fee in order to achieve the intent of the Parties as specified in this Section.

9.18 Inurement. This Amended and Restated Agreement shall inure to and be binding on the successors and assigns of the Parties and shall run with the Property and be binding on any person or entity holding title to the Property.

9.19 Maintenance of Property. During the term of this Amended and Restated Agreement, and as provided in Section 9.5.1, the Manager, on behalf of the Venture, shall perform all work obligations, pay all taxes or duties and comply with all obligations under applicable law to maintain title to the Property in good standing. Prior to Earn-In, UPC’s costs associated with maintaining the Property shall be applied to the Minimum Expenditures.

9.20 Entire Agreement. This Amended and Restated Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the Property. It supersedes and replaces all prior written or oral understandings heretofore communicated or interchanged between the Parties regarding the Property.

If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute within 60 days after the receipt of such notice, the dispute shall be resolved by arbitration in Salt Lake City, Utah, pursuant to the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association. The resolution pursuant to such arbitration shall be binding on the parties. Alternatively, the parties may elect to submit the dispute to a mutually acceptable certified public accountant, or firm of certified public accountants, for a binding resolution thereof. Unless the parties agree to share the costs of arbitration, the arbitrator shall determine what part of the costs and expenses incurred in any such proceeding shall be borne by each party participating in the arbitration.

The Royalty Holder or its authorized representative shall enter the Property at the Royalty Holder’s own risk and may not unreasonably hinder operations on or pertaining to the Property. Subject to any insurance carried by the Payor with respect to the Property, the Royalty Holder shall indemnify and hold harmless the Payor and its Affiliates (including without limitation direct and indirect parent companies), and its or their respective directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents and attorneys, from and against any Liabilities which may be imposed upon, asserted against or incurred by any of them by reason of injury to the Royalty Holder or any of its agents or representatives caused by the Royalty Holder’s exercise of its rights herein, unless such injury results from the negligence or willful misconduct of Payor.

5. The Net Profits Interest and Gross Income Royalty shall attached to any amendments, relocations or conversions of any mining claims or leases comprising the Property, or to any renewals or extensions of leases, and to any mineral rights acquired by the Payor and any Affiliates in lands embraced within the Property or the Area of Interest within three years after the loss or relinquishment of any mining claim or lease comprising the Property. The Net Profits Interest and Gross Income Royalty shall be a real property interest that runs with the Properties and shall be applicable to any person who produces and sells Products from the Property.

7. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Payor shall have the right to mine and market amounts of Products reasonably necessary for non-bulk sampling, assaying, metallurgical testing and evaluation of the minerals potential of the Property without initiating the obligation to make payments hereunder.

 

8. The Payor shall have the right to commingle ores and minerals from the Property with ore and minerals produced from other lands and properties; provided, however, that the Payor shall first calculate from representative samples the average grade of the ore and minerals and shall weigh (or calculate by volume) the ore before commingling. If concentrates are produced from the commingled ores by the Payor, the Payor shall also calculate from representative samples the average recovery percentage for all concentrates produced during the calendar quarter. In obtaining representative samples, calculating the average grade of the ore and minerals and average recovery percentages, the Payor may use any procedures generally accepted in the mining and metallurgical industry which it believes suitable for the type of mining and processing activity being conducted and, in the absence of negligence or fraud, its choice of such procedures shall be final and binding on the Royalty Holder. In addition, comparable procedures may be used by the Payor to apportion among the commingled ores and minerals penalty charges, if any, imposed by the purchaser of such ore or minerals.
