2.4 | Real Property Interest in the Property. The Parties agree as follows: | |
(a) | that the Royalty is a real property right and creates and constitutes the grant of a vested present interest in the Real Property and covenant that runs with the land and all successions thereof, overriding and prior to all other present or future interests in the Real Property to the extent permitted by law, whether created privately or through government action; | |
(b) | Holder shall have all of the rights and incidents of ownership of a non-participating royalty owner, which incidents are covenants running with the Real Property and include: (a) the ownership of the non-participating royalty interests which are interests in real property; (b) the right to receive, free of expenses, the Royalty payments; and (c) the obligation of Grantor, its successors or assigns, to make the Royalty payments, which obligation shall run with the land.

2.7 | Royalty Payments. Royalty payments will be due and payable quarterly on the tenth (10th) Business Day following the end of the calendar quarter in which Grantor first receives payment for the Sale of Product. Royalty payments will be paid in cash in US dollars by way of direct wire transfer to the account of Holder as Holder shall designate from time to time for this purpose. | |
2.8 | No Obligation. Notwithstanding the terms of any other provisions herein, Grantor shall not be obligated to make any Royalty payment before Grantor has received or been credited with payment or other consideration for the sale or other disposition of, the Products upon which such Royalty payment is calculated, unless such failure to receive or be credited for payment in cash by Grantor or any of its Affiliates is due to intentional delay by Grantor or any of its Affiliates. | |
2.9 | No Tax Deduction. | |
(a) | All payments of any kind made in respect of this Agreement (in respect of the Royalty, interest or otherwise) shall be made in full without set-off or counterclaim, and free of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, provided that if an Obligor shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any payment or sum payable to Holder, the payment or sum deliverable or payable shall be increased as may be necessary (“Additional Amounts”) so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.9), Holder receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received if no deduction or withholding had been made and the Obligors shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation or other authority in accordance with Applicable Law; provided that, no Additional Amounts with respect to any deduction or withholding for any U.S. federal Taxes imposed on amounts payable to Holder pursuant to a law in effect on the date on which such Holder first became a party hereto will be payable under this Section 2.9 to a Holder that acquired its interest in the Royalty pursuant to any assignment or transfer of the Royalty, in whole or in part, unless such Additional Amounts with respect to any such deduction or withholding for such Taxes would have been payable hereunder to such Xxxxxx’s assignor or transferor immediately before such Xxxxxx became a party hereto. |
16 |
(b) | If Holder becomes liable for any Tax, other than Excluded Taxes, imposed on any deliveries or payments under this Agreement, Grantor and BHMC shall jointly and severally agree to indemnify Holder for such Tax, and the indemnity payment shall be increased as necessary so that after the imposition of any Tax on the indemnity payment (including Tax in respect of any such increase in the indemnity payment), Holder shall receive the full amount of Taxes for which it is liable, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Grantor by Holder shall be conclusive absent manifest error. | |
(c) | If Holder determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Grantor or with respect to which Grantor has paid Additional Amounts pursuant to this Section or that, because of the payment of such Taxes, it has benefited from a reduction in Excluded Taxes otherwise payable by it, it shall pay to Grantor an amount equal to such refund or reduction (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or Additional Amounts paid, by Grantor under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund or reduction), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of Holder, as the case may be, and without interest. Upon the reasonable request of Xxxxxx, Grantor shall repay the amount paid over to Grantor (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Holder if Holder is required to repay such refund or reduction to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require Holder to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to Grantor or any other person, to arrange its affairs in any particular manner or to claim any available refund or reduction. | |
(d) | If Holder is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of Taxes under the law of the jurisdiction in which Grantor is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to any payments made in respect of this Agreement, Holder shall, at the request of Grantor, deliver to Grantor, at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Grantor, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (if any) as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding Taxes. In addition, Xxxxxx, if requested by Grantor, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (if any) or reasonably requested by Grantor as will enable Grantor to determine whether or not Holder is subject to withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Holder shall not be required to deliver any documentation pursuant to this Section that Holder is not legally able to deliver. | |
(e) | Following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Parties will co-operate reasonably with the other Parties in implementing any proposed adjustments to the structure or terms of this Agreement to facilitate tax planning, provided that such adjustments have no material adverse impact on the non-proposing Party and that the costs of such adjustments shall be paid for by the proposing Party. |

2.11 | Default and Interest. If any payment required to be made by a Party hereunder is not made when due, then all unpaid amounts shall bear interest at a rate equal to Base Rate plus 5% per annum, compounded monthly on the last day of each month until such payment and accrued interest is paid in full. The rate of interest payable on such late payments will change simultaneously with changes in the Base Rate from time to time. | |
3 | PERPETUITY | |
The Royalty shall be perpetual as shall be permitted by Applicable Law. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision hereof violates a legal rule against perpetuities, then such provision shall automatically be revised and reformed as necessary in order for the Royalty to terminate on the end of the maximum time permitted under Applicable Law for the Royalty to be valid. | ||

(c) | Grantor shall deliver all Products that include marketable metal to each Processor in such quantity, description and amounts and at such times and places as required under and in accordance with each Offtake Agreement. | |
(d) | Grantor shall promptly provide to Holder confirmation of the terms of any such Offtake Agreement and, within 15 days after the execution thereof by each of the parties thereto, Grantor shall provide to Holder a final signed copy of such Offtake Agreement and use its commercially reasonable efforts to avoid any requirement for the redaction of any part thereof, failing which, such Offtake Agreement shall be provided subject to the redactions required by any such Offtake Agreements. | |

All tailings, residues, waste rock, spoiled xxxxx materials, bulk samples, and other materials (collectively the “Materials”) resulting from Grantor’s operations and activities on the Real Property shall be the sole property of Grantor but shall remain subject to the Royalty should the Materials be processed or reprocessed, as the case may be, in the future and result in the production and sale or other disposition of Products. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantor shall have the right to dispose of Materials from the Property on or off of the Real Property and to commingle the same (as provided herein) with materials from other properties. In the event Materials from the Property are processed or reprocessed, as the case may be, and regardless of where such processing or reprocessing occurs, the Royalty payable thereon shall be determined on a pro rata basis as determined by using the best engineering and technical practices then available. |
20 |
4.6 | Commingling. The Grantor and BHMC shall ensure that no Bunker Hill Entity or other Person processes other minerals through the Mine’s processing plant, or commingles such other minerals with, Products mined, produced, extracted or otherwise recovered from the Property, unless (i) the applicable Bunker Hill Entity has adopted and employs reasonable practices and procedures for weighing, determining moisture content, sampling and assaying and determining recovery factors (a “Commingling Plan”), such Commingling Plan to ensure the division of other minerals and Products for the purpose of determining the quantum of Products; (ii) Holder shall not be disadvantaged as a result of the processing of other minerals in priority to, or concurrently with, the Products, or the Parties, acting reasonably, shall have entered into an agreement to compensate Holder for any such disadvantage providing for a commensurate royalty or stream interest in such other minerals or another form of compensation (a “Compensation Agreement”); (iii) Holder has approved the Commingling Plan and, if applicable, the Compensation Agreement, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld; (iv) the Grantor and BHMC shall keep all books, records, data, information required by the Commingling Plan for the same period of time as is required by the applicable taxation authorities for the retention of financial records; and (v) the Grantor and BHMC shall keep all samples required by the Commingling Plan in accordance with Good Practice Standards. The Grantor and BHMC agree to revisit the Commingling Plan and the Compensation Agreement if Holder determines that circumstances have changed, in order to ensure that the Commingling Plan continues to provide for the accurate measurement of Products and the Compensation Agreement reasonably compensates Holder for any disadvantage. For greater certainty, the foregoing does not apply to the handling of Products by a Processor in accordance with its standard operating procedures and good industry practices. |

The Grantor and such other tolling processor shall enter into a toll mining contract with respect to such tolling and keep all books, records, data, information and samples, in each case, in accordance with good mining and processing practices prevailing in the mining industry in the United States. The Royalty shall be payable on all such toll treated Products, bulk samples and other production where Grantor receives any proceeds from any Processor or other purchaser. |
21 |
4.9 | Expropriation. In the event that the Real Property, or any interest thereof, is affected by an expropriation or notice or advice from any Governmental Authority of an intention to expropriate or a sale in lieu of expropriation, or any intention from any Governmental Authority to revoke, limit, suspend or refuse to renew any Mining Right, Grantor shall notify Holder in writing within five (5) Business Days after Grantor becomes aware of any such expropriation, notice or advice from any Governmental Authority. Unless Grantor, after having informed Xxxxxx of its intention to do so, contests forthwith upon receipt of such notice and in order to protect its own and Xxxxxx’s interests in the Real Property, Holder shall have the right (on advance notice to Grantor and if required by Grantor, in conjunction with Grantor) to make representations before any Governmental Authority in order to protect Xxxxxx’s interest in the Real Property. In the event that a Bunker Hill Entity or any Affiliate thereof receives directly or indirectly any payment, distribution or other valuable compensation as a consequence of or in respect of any act of expropriation relating to the Project Assets or the Bunker Hill Entities (to the extent of their interest in the Project Assets), Grantor and BHMC shall pay, or cause such other Bunker Hill Entity to pay, to Holder its proportionate share of such compensation (net of the reasonable fees and third party out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Bunker Hill Entity in connection with the claim giving rise to the expropriation compensation) within 10 Business Days of receipt thereof. |

The notice shall identify the portion of the Real Property which is proposed to be Abandoned. Upon expiry of such 90-day period, Xxxxxxx’s obligations hereunder in respect of such Abandoned interest shall terminate and thereafter the term “Property” will apply to those interests comprising the Property which have not been Abandoned by Grantor. In such event, if requested by Xxxxxx, Grantor shall execute documents transferring to Holder title to any part or parts of the Property which Grantor is Abandoning for and in consideration of the sum of One Dollar (U.S$1.00); however, such documents shall not contain representations, warranties or indemnities from Grantor and Grantor must obtain all approvals and consents required under Applicable Law or by any third Person or Governmental Authority. |
4.11 | Reacquired Interest. In the event Grantor or any Affiliate or any successor or assignee of it surrenders, allows to lapse or otherwise terminates its interest in any portion or all the Property and within a period of five (5) years from the date of such surrender, lapse or other termination, reacquires a direct or indirect interest in respect of the area covered by the former property, then the Royalty shall apply to such interest so reacquired. Grantor shall give written notice to Holder within ten (10) days of any acquisition or reacquisition thereof. |
4.12 | Insurance. Grantor will obtain and maintain with reputable insurance companies insurance in good standing with respect to the Project Assets and the operations conducted on and in respect of the Project Assets against such casualties, losses and contingencies and of such types and in such amounts as is customary for comparable projects (including insurance against Insurable Loss of Products prior to their Sale with Holder as a named insured). Where Grantor or any other Bunker Hill Entity receives payment under an insurance policy in respect of the Project Assets as a result of an event that does or is reasonably likely to materially reduce the amount of silver, lead or zinc produced from the Property in any one or more years, the Grantor shall either (i) use the such amount of the insurance payment as is necessary to fully rebuild or repair the Project Assets or any part thereof damaged as a result of the foregoing event, or (ii) pay to Holder its proportionate share of such insurance payment (net of the reasonable fees and third party out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Bunker Hill Entity in connection with the claim giving rise to the insurance payment) within 10 Business Days of receipt thereof. |

This Primary Claims set contains all resource material included in the 2021 PEA Mineral Resource Estimate, as well as those areas listed in the historic 1991 reserves. Due to the inconsistent orientation and nature of the mineralization underlying the above parcels, the Primary Royalty rate will be applied to all extracted and processed mineralized material lying under and within Primary Claims’ area, up to 90 degrees nadir along the Primary Claims’ boundaries.
In order to accommodate the down-dip potential on structures included within the 2021 PEA Mineral Resource Estimate and historic 1991 historic reserves report, all material processed interstitial to existing development, along strike but within the Primary Claims’ boundary restrictions listed in the above paragraph, and continuously down-dip to the termination of the structure, the following zones will constitute Primary Claims and be assigned a 1.85% royalty rate: Shea, Tallon, Ike/Truman, Xxxxx, J, Mac, Xxxxxxx/XX Xxxxxxx. These names are taken to be the names used during past production and denote discrete mineralized structures.. This rule is added to the overlying royalty rate’s material restrictions to reflect a more typical “Apex Law” situation for tabular mineralized zones and applies only to those structures listed above. Splays and associated structures that connect geologically to those listed above will receive the Primary Royalty rate of the main structure.

2. | Each Obligor is qualified to do business and is in good standing in all jurisdictions in which the nature of its business as now being or as proposed to be conducted makes such qualification necessary and has all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals necessary to own its assets and carry on its business as now being or as proposed to be conducted. |
3. | Each Obligor has the requisite corporate power, capacity and authority to: (i) own its property and assets and conduct its business; and (ii) enter into the Agreement and such other documents as may be necessary or appropriate to give effect to the terms hereof, to perform its obligations hereunder and complete the transactions contemplated hereby. |
4. | The execution and delivery of the Agreement by each Obligor and the completion of the transactions contemplated hereby, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of such Obligor. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by such Obligor, and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of it, enforceable against it in accordance with the terms thereof, except to the extent enforcement may be affected by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar Applicable Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to the qualification that equitable remedies, injunctive relief and/or specific performance may be granted in the discretion of a court of competent jurisdiction. |
5. | BHMC owns legally and beneficially all of the issued and outstanding stock of Grantor (the “Capital Stock”) as set forth in Section (5) of the Disclosure Letter free and clear of any Encumbrances. The corporate structure and organization chart of the Obligors set forth in Section (5) of the Disclosure Letter accurately reflects, as of the date hereof, the direct and indirect ownership of all of the Capital Stock of Grantor. Other than as set forth in Section (5) of the Disclosure Letter, no Person has any agreement, option, right of first refusal or right, title or interest or any right (including a right of conversion of Indebtedness) that is or will become an agreement, option, right of first refusal or right, title or interest, in or to all or any part of the Capital Stock of Grantor.

D-1 |
7. | The principal place of business and chief executive office of each Obligor as of the date hereof is set out in Section (7) of the Disclosure Letter. |
8. | No Obligor has suffered an Insolvency Event and the Obligors are not aware of any circumstance which, with notice or the passage of time, or both, would give rise to an Insolvency Event with respect to it. |
9. | Each of the Obligors’ corporate records are complete and accurate in all material respects, and true and correct copies of same have been made available to Holder. |
10. | The financial books, records and accounts of each of the Obligors: (i) are complete and accurate in all material respects; (ii) are stated in reasonable detail; and (iii) accurately and fairly reflect all the material transactions, acquisitions and dispositions of each of the Obligors. |

The Obligors have not effected any material change in its accounting methods, principles or practices since the date of the Current Financial Statements.

D-3 |
