7. INTEREST CALCULATIONS

(a) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, where in this Agreement a rate of interest is calculated on the basis of a year (the “deemed year”) which contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such rate of interest shall be expressed as a yearly rate for purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) by multiplying such rate of interest by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, whether 365 or 366, as the case may be, and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that any provision of this Agreement would oblige any Obligor to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to the Lenders hereunder in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by a Lender of interest at a criminal or prohibited rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada) or any other Applicable Law), notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted nunc pro tunc to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or so result in a receipt by such Lender of interest at a criminal or prohibited rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, firstly, by reducing the amount or rate of interest applicable pursuant to Section 2(c) of this Agreement; and thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts which would constitute interest for the purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada), as may be amended from time to time, or any other Applicable Law. Any amount or rate of interest referred to in this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles over the term hereof and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by Xxxxxx shall be conclusive for the purposes of such determination.

(c) In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under this Agreement exceeds the maximum amount permitted by Section 7(b), each Obligor and Lender shall, to the maximum extent permitted under the Criminal Code (Canada) or any other Applicable Law, characterize any non-principal payments as an expense, fee or premium or other payment rather than as interest, as may be necessary to reduce the amount otherwise characterized as interest pursuant to such Applicable Law, exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof and amortize, prorate, allocate and spread the total amount of interest rateably over the longer of the contemplated term or the actual duration that any Obligations remain outstanding.

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.
