1. In this Agreement, "3% NET SMELTER RETURNS" means 3% of the net amount of
money received by the Purchaser for its own account from the sale of ore, or ore
concentrates or other mineral products from the Claims to a smelter or other
mineral products buyer after deduction of smelter and/or refining charges, ore

semi-annually within 60 days after the end of each fiscal half year of the
Purchaser and shall be accompanied by unaudited financial statements pertaining
to the operations carried out by the Purchaser on the Claims. Within 90 days
after the end of each fiscal year of the Purchaser in which Net Smelter Returns
are payable to the Vendor, the records relating to the calculation of Net
Smelter Returns for such year shall be audited and any resulting adjustments in
the payment of Net Smelter Returns payable to the Vendor shall be made
forthwith. A copy of the said audit shall be delivered to the Vendor within 30
days of the end of such 90-day period.

completion, and any discrepancy between the amount actually paid by the
Purchaser and the amount which should have been paid according to the Vendor's
report shall be paid forthwith, one party to the other. In the event that the
said discrepancy is to the detriment of the Vendor and exceeds 5% of the amount
actually paid by the Purchaser, then the Purchaser shall pay the entire cost of
the audit.
4. Any dispute arising out of or related to any report, payment, calculation or
audit shall be resolved solely by arbitration as provided in the Agreement. No
error in accounting or in interpretation of the Agreement shall be the basis for
a claim of breach of fiduciary duty, or the like, or give rise to a claim for
exemplary or punitive damages or for termination or rescission of the Agreement
or the estate and rights acquired and held by the Purchaser under the terms of
the Agreement.
