Company’s knowledge, Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ current and intended products,

Buyer true and correct copies of all policies relating to the directors’ and officers’

liability coverage, errors and omissions coverage, and commercial general liability
coverage.
v.
Internal Accounting Controls. Company and each of its Subsidiaries maintain a system
of internal accounting controls sufficient, in the judgment of Company’s board of
directors, to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in
accordance with management's general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability, (iii)
access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management's general or specific
authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the
existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to

expenses relating to political activity; made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to
any foreign or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds;

Agreement) is solvent (i.e., its assets have a fair market value in excess of the amount
required to pay its probable liabilities on its existing debts as they become absolute and

conclude that Company would not, after giving effect to the transaction contemplated
by this Agreement, have the ability to, nor does it intend to take any action that would
impair its ability to, pay its debts from time to time incurred in connection therewith as
such debt mature. Company did not receive a qualified opinion from its auditors with

contemplated by this Agreement, does not anticipate or know of any basis upon which
its auditors might issue a qualified opinion in respect of its current fiscal year.

agent to issue certificates, registered in the name of Buyer or its nominee, for the Conversion
Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by Buyer to Company upon

1933 Act or the date on which the Conversion Shares may be sold without any restriction

remove, or direct its transfer agent not to remove or impair, delay, and/or hinder its transfer

comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Securities may be
made without registration under the 1933 Act pursuant to Rule 144 or any available

Conversion Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates, free

RE: IRREVOCABLE INSTRUCTIONS
MineralRite Corporation
To whom it may concern:
River North Equity, Inc. (the “Holder”) is the holder of a $77,778 Convertible Note (the
“Note”) and ________ shares of common stock issued by MineralRite Corporation (the
“Company”).
Nevada Agency & Trust Company (the “Transfer Agent” or “you”) is hereby
irrevocably authorized and directed to issue the shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”)
of the Company within three (3) business days upon your receipt from the Holder of a
notice of conversion ("Conversion Notice") executed by the Holder, as well as an opinion
of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable
transactions, according to which the Shares are not “restricted securities” pursuant to rule
144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), any other available
exemption under the Act, or an effective registration with the SEC.
A copy of the Note is attached hereto. The Shares to be issued are to be registered in the
name of the registered holder of the securities submitted for conversion or exercise.
So long as you have previously received a Conversion notice and a confirmation from the
Company’s or Holder’s counsel that the Shares have been registered under the 1933 Act
or otherwise may be sold without any restriction, including pursuant to Rule 144, and the
number of Shares to be issued in any one conversion are less than 9.99% of the total
issued and outstanding common stock of the Company, such Shares should be transferred
via DWAC or, if DWAC is unavailable, via unrestricted certificate(s) issued to the
Holder, pursuant to the instructions provided by the Holder on the Conversion Notice or
as otherwise instructed by the Holder.
You are instructed to reserve for issuance to the Holder a minimum of
____________________________ shares of common stock of the Company, as may be
increased upon advice from the Company (the “Share Reserve”). The Share Reserve
shall neither act to increase the number of Shares to be issued pursuant to the Note nor
shall the Share Reserve articulated herein create or be deemed to be a cap on the number
of Shares to be issued to the Holder. All such shares shall remain in reserve with the
Transfer Agent until the Holder provides the Transfer Agent instructions that the shares
or any part of them shall be taken out of reserve and shall no longer be subject to the
terms of these instructions. Until such time as the Holder issues any such instruction, and
subject to the ownership percentage limitation in the preceding paragraph, the Holder
Company ___________
Buyer ___________
Page 23 of 23
shall have no beneficial interest in the Shares so reserved and no rights attendant to
ownership, including, but not limited to, the right to vote, sell or hypothecate the reserved
shares.
The Company shall indemnify you and your officers, directors, principals, partners,
agents and representatives, and hold each of them harmless from and against any and all
loss, liability, damage, claim or expense (including the reasonable fees and disbursements
of its attorneys) incurred by or asserted against you or any of them arising out of or in
connection with the instructions set forth herein, the performance of your duties
hereunder and otherwise in respect hereof, including the costs and expenses of defending
yourself or themselves against any claim or liability hereunder, except that the Company
shall not be liable hereunder as to matters in respect of which it is determined that you
have acted with gross negligence or in bad faith. Transfer Agent shall have no liability to
the Company in respect to any action taken or any failure to act in respect of this if such
action was taken or omitted to be taken in good faith, and you shall be entitled to rely in
this regard on the advice of counsel.
The Company hereby requests that the Transfer Agent act immediately, without delay
and without the need for any action or confirmation by the Company with respect to the
issuance of Common Stock pursuant to any Conversion Notices received from the
Holder. Transfer Agent will not delay in processing a duly valid Conversion Notice from
the Holder.
The Company agrees that in the event that the Transfer Agent resigns as the Company’s
transfer agent, the Company shall engage a suitable replacement transfer agent that will
agree to serve as transfer agent for the Company and be bound by the terms and
conditions of these Irrevocable Instructions within five (5) business days, and that the
obligations, indemnifications and representations contained in these irrevocable
instructions will assign to each and every replacement transfer agent, without any further
action by the Company.
The Holder is intended to be and is a third-party beneficiaries hereof, and no amendment
or modification to the instructions set forth herein may be made without the consent of
the Holder.
