required to be performed to date; neither Delta, nor any such other party is in

Schedule "A"
GROSS OVERRIDING ROYALTY
Pursuant to the Agreement to which this Schedule is attached (the "Agreement"),
a party (the "Royalty Holder") may be entitled to a gross overriding royalty
(the "Gross Overriding Royalty") payable by the other party or parties (the
"Royalty Payor"), which shall be equal to 2% of the "Appraised Value" (as
hereinafter defined and reconciled as hereinafter provided) of all gem and
industrial diamonds ("Diamonds") recovered, sorted and graded from the Property
(as defined in the Agreement), free and clear of all costs of development and
operation, and subject only to taxes and royalties (except income taxes) and the
fees and expenses of graders as hereinafter provided.
"Appraised Value" means the valuation in American Dollars of the Diamonds at the
mine site determined by an independent grader appointed by the Royalty Payor.
Such independent grader shall be duly qualified and accredited, and shall sort,
grade and value the Diamonds in accordance with industry standards, having
regard to, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the commercial
demand for the Diamonds, the grades of the Diamonds (gem or industrial) and the
colors, sizes and clarity of the Diamonds. The independent valuator shall value
each particular classification of the Diamonds in accordance with the industry
pricebooks, standards and formulas.
The Gross Overriding Royalty will be calculated and paid within 30 days of the
end of each calendar quarter, based on all diamonds from the Property which were
graded in such calendar quarter.
Within 90 days after the Royalty Payor has received payment for all Diamonds
from the Property which were graded in a calendar year, it will reconcile the
Appraised Value (deducting only taxes, royalties and the fees and expenses of
graders as aforesaid) of all such Diamonds with the actual proceeds received by
the Royalty Payor from the sale of such Diamonds (deducting only taxes royalties
and the fees and expenses of graders as aforesaid) and provide to the Royalty
Holder, a statement showing all pertinent information in sufficient detail to
explain the calculation of the royalty payment. If the aggregate proceeds
(deducting only royalties and the fees and expenses of graders as aforesaid) are
greater than the said Appraised Value, the Royalty Payor will pay to the Royalty
Holder its proportionate share of the excess. If the Appraised Value is greater
than the said aggregate proceeds (deducting only taxes, royalties and the fees
and expenses of graders as aforesaid), then the Royalty Holder will pay to the
Royalty Payor its proportionate share of the excess.
All Gross Overriding Royalty payments shall be considered final and in full
satisfaction of all obligations of the Royalty Payor with respect thereto,
unless the Royalty Holder gives the Royalty Payor written notice describing and
setting forth a specific objection to the calculation thereof within 12 months
after receipt by the Royalty Holder of the statement herein provided for. If the
Royalty Holder objects to a particular statement as herein provided, the Royalty
Holder shall, for a period of 30 days after the Royalty Payor's receipt of
notice of such objection, have the right upon reasonable notice and at a
reasonable time, to have the Royalty Payor's accounts and records relating to
the calculation of the Royalty in question audited by a chartered accountant
acceptable to the Royalty Holder and to the Royalty Payor. If such audit
determines that there has been a deficiency or any excess in the payment made to
the Royalty Holder such deficiency or excess shall be resolved by adjusting the
next quarterly Gross Overriding Royalty payment due hereunder. The Royalty
Holder shall pay all costs of such audit unless a deficiency or more than ten
percent (10%) of the amount due is determined to exist. All books and records
used by the Royalty Payor for adjustment in such 12 month period shall establish
the correctness and preclude the filing of exceptions or making of claims for
adjustment thereon.
33
In addition, if the Royalty Payor conducts an audit, either internally or by an
independent auditor, of the operations on or in respect of the Property, the
Royalty Holder will be notified and, at its request, will be provided with a
