and belief, proposed, threatened or contemplated actions or suits
which,
if successful, would or could affect the market value or ownership
of the
Property or any portion thereof;
|
(h)
|
conditions
on and relating to the Property are in compliance with all applicable
laws, regulations and orders relating to environmental matters, including,
but not limited to, waste disposal and storage and Vendor is not
aware of
any conditions with respect to the Property that could give rise

outstanding work orders or actions required to be taken relating

|
(j)
|
on
the Closing Date the Vendor will deliver to the Purchaser copies
of all
reports, maps and other documents and or materials relating to the
Property in the Vendor’s
possession.
|
(k)
|
the
Vendor has been informed as to, and is familiar with, the business
activities of the Purchaser and its affiliates, and has had an opportunity
and proceeded, or waived the opportunity, to (i) review the books
and
records of the Purchaser and its affiliates and to ask questions
of, and
receive answers from, appropriate representatives of the Purchaser
and its
affiliates concerning the Purchaser and its affiliates and the terms
and
conditions of this Agreement, and (ii) obtain and review all additional
information relating to the history and proposed business plan of
the
Purchaser and its affiliates that it deems
necessary.
|
(l)
|
the
Vendor fully understands that the Shares have not been registered
under
the Securities Act in reliance upon exemptions therefrom, and,
accordingly, to the extent that it is not supplied with the information
which would have been contained in a registration statement filed
under
the Securities Act, it must rely on its own access to such
information.
|
(m)
|
the
Vendor has had an opportunity to obtain and has obtained a general
and
complete understanding satisfactory to it of the Purchaser, its affiliates
and their services, potential assets, finances, and manner of doing
business sufficient to permit it to evaluate (i) the Purchaser and
its
prospects and (ii) the risks and merits of accepting the Shares on
payment
for the Property.
|
(n)
|
the
Vendor (i) recognizes that accepting the Shares involves risk, (ii)
has
carefully considered whether accepting he Shares is appropriate,
and
(iii)
|
-3-
has
obtained such individual financial, tax and legal advice as it deems necessary
or appropriate to fully understand the risks involved and to evaluate accepting
the Shares.
(o)
|
the
Vendor recognizes that it must bear the economic risk involved in
accepting the Shares for an indefinite period of time because, among
other
reasons, the Shares have not been registered under the Securities
Act and
therefore cannot be sold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed
of
unless (i) they are subsequently registered under the Securities
Act or
(ii) an exemption from such registration is available and an opinion
of
counsel acceptable to the Purchaser that the transfer is not in violation
of any federal securities act or state securities law is provided
to the
Purchaser.
|
(p)
|
the
Vendor recognizes that there is no current market for the Shares;
that
there can be no assurances that such a market will exist any time
in the
future and accordingly it may not be able to sell or dispose of any
of the
Shares even if it had held them for a number of years; that its right
to
transfer the Shares will be restricted by federal and state securities
laws and a legend to this effect will be placed on the certificates
representing the Shares and that such laws impose strict limitations
upon
such transfer; and the Purchaser is under no obligation in connection
with
the subsequent transfer thereof by it or to aid it in obtaining an
exemption from such registration.
|
(q)
|
the
Vendor acknowledges that the Share certificate representing the purchase
price shall be legended with a legend substantially in the following
form:
|
THE
SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THESE
SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE
ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITY UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND QUALIFICATION UNDER ANY APPLICABLE
STATE
SECURITIES LAWS OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE
COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS. ANY PURPORTED TRANSFER OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE SECURITIES
REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IN ANY MANNER WHICH IS IN VIOLATION OF THE
FOREGOING LIMITATIONS IS INVALID AND THE COMPANY WILL NOT TRANSFER SUCH
INVALIDLY TRANSFERRED SECURITY ON THE BOOKS OF THE COMPANY.
(r)
|
The
Vendor acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser is undertaking
to
register the Shares and upon registration, the Shares will be subject
to a
private restriction wherein only 20% of the Shares may be sold after
one
year has expired from the date of issue and the remaining 80% may
be
sold
|
-4-
after
two
years have expired from the date of issue and the Purchaser shall be entitled
to
legend the share certificate to this effect.

Attached
to and forming part of the Agreement dated the 1st of August, 2006, between

Whereas
based on an agreement dated June 15, 2003 between the Vendor and Xxxxxxx X.
Xxxx
and Xxxxxxx X. Xxxx, 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, the
Vendor agreed to the payment of a 2% NSR on the Xxxxxx Xxx claims, No. 1 through
No. 8, based on the following formula:
Net
Smelter Returns Royalty
1.1 Net
Smelter Returns shall be the Gross Revenue received by the Purchaser, less
Permissible Deductions, calculated on a calendar quarterly basis with the
following meanings in effect:
(a) “Gross
Revenue” means the aggregate of the following amounts received in each quarterly
period following the commencement of commercial production:
(i)
|
the
revenue received by the Purchaser from arm’s length purchasers of all
mineral products produced from the Property (the
“Products”);
|
(ii)
|
the
air market value of all Products sold by the Purchaser in such period
to
persons not dealing at arm’s length with the Purchaser;
and
|
(iii)
|
the
Purchaser’s share of the proceeds of insurance on
Products.
|
(b) “Permissible
Deductions” means the aggregate of the following charges (to the extent that
they are not deducted by any purchaser in computing payment) that are paid
by
the Purchaser in each quarterly period:
(i)
|
sales
charges levied by any sales agent on the sale of
Products;
|
-10-
(ii)
|
transportation
costs for Products from the property to the place of beneficiation,
processing or treatment and thence to the place of delivery of Products
to
a purchaser thereof, including shipping, freight, handling and forwarding
expenses;
|
(iii)
|
all
costs, expenses and charges of any nature whatsoever which are either
paid
or incurred by the Purchaser in connection with the refinement of
beneficiation of Products after leaving the property, including all
weighing, sampling, essaying and representation costs, metal losses,
any
of umpire charges, and any penalties charged by the processor, refinery
or
smelter; and
|
(iv)
|
all
insurance costs on Products and any government royalties, production
taxes, severance taxes and sales and other taxes levied on Products
on or
the production or value thereof (other than any Federal, Provincial,
State, municipal or similar taxes levied on the income or profit
of the
Purchaser), provided that where a cost or expense otherwise constituting
a
Permissible Deduction is incurred by the Purchaser in a transaction
with a
party with whom it is not dealing at arm’s length, such cost or expense
may be deducted but only as to the xxxxxx of the actual cost incurred
by
the Purchaser or the fair market value thereof, calculated at the
time of
such transaction and under all the circumstances
thereof.
|
1.2 The
payment on account of the Royalty for each calendar quarter will be calculated
and paid within sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar quarter. Smelter
settlement sheets, if any, and a statement setting forth calculations in
sufficient detail to show the payment’s derivation (the “Statement”) must be
submitted with the payment.
1.3 In
the
event that final amounts required for the calculation of the payment on account
of the Royalty are not available within the period referred to in Section 1.2
of
this Agreement, then provisional amounts will be estimated and such payment
will
be paid on the basis of this provisional calculation. Positive or negative
adjustments will be made to the payment on account of the Royalty for the
succeeding quarter.
1.4 All
payments on account of the Royalty will be considered final and in full
satisfaction of all obligations of the Purchaser or with respect thereto, unless
the Vendors deliver to the Purchaser a written notice (the “Objection Notice”)
describing and setting forth a specific objection to the calculation thereof
within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Vendors of the Statement. If the
Vendors object to a particular Statement as herein provided, the Vendors will,
for a period of sixty (60) days after the Purchaser’s receipt of such Objection
Notice, have the right, upon reasonable notice and at reasonable times, to
have
the Purchaser’s accounts and records relating to the calculation of the payment
in question audited by the auditors of the Purchaser. If such audit determines
that there has been a deficiency or an excess in the payment made to the
Vendors, such deficiency or excess will be resolved by adjusting the next
quarterly payment due hereunder. The Vendors will pay all the costs and expenses
of such audit unless a deficiency of five (5%) percent or more, of the amount
due is determined to exist. All books and records used and kept by the Purchaser
to calculate the Royalty due hereunder will be kept in accordance with Canadian
generally accepted accounting principles. Failure on the part of the Vendors
to
make claim against the Purchaser for adjustment in such sixty (60) day period
by
delivery of an Objection Notice will conclusively establish the correctness
and
sufficiency of the Statement and payment on account of the Royalty for such
quarter.
-11-
1.5 All
profits and losses resulting from the Purchaser engaging in any commodity
futures trading, option trading, metals trading, gold loans or any combination
thereof, and any other hedging transactions with respect to a Product which
is a
precious metal (collectively “Hedging Transactions”) are specifically excluded
from calculations of the payments on account of the Royalty pursuant to this
Agreement (it being the intent of the parties that the Purchaser will have
the
unrestricted right to market and sell Product to third parties that the
Purchaser will have the unrestricted right to market and sell Product to third
parties in any manner as it chooses and that the Vendors will not have any
right
to participate in such marketing activities or to share in any profits or losses
therefrom). All Hedging Transactions by the Purchaser and all profits or losses
associated therewith, if any, will be solely for the Purchaser’s account. The
amount of Net Smelter Revenue derived from all Product subject to Hedging
Transactions by the Purchaser will be determined pursuant to the provisions
of
this Paragraph 1.5 and not Paragraph 1.1. As to precious metals subject to
Hedging Transactions by the Purchaser, Net Smelter Revenue will be determined
without reference to transactions and will be determined by using, for gold,
the
quarterly average price of gold, which will be calculated y dividing the sum
of
all London the Vendors Market Association P.M. Gold Fix prices reported for
the
calendar quarter in question by the number of days for which such prices were
quoted, and for silver, the quarterly average price of silver, which will be
calculated by dividing the sum of all New York Commodity Exchange (“COMEX”)
prices for silver quoted by and at the closing of COMEX reported for the
calendar quarter in question by the number of days for which such prices were
quoted, less, in each case, an amount reasonably equivalent to the deductions
permitted by Paragraph 1.1(b). Any Product subject to Hedging Transactions
will
be deemed to be sold, and revenues received therefrom, only on the date of
final
settlement of the amount of refined Product allocated to the account of the
Purchaser b y a third party refinery in respect of such transactions.
Furthermore, the Purchaser will have no obligation to fulfill any future
contracts, forward sales, gold loans or other Hedging Transaction which the
Purchaser or any of its Associated Companies may hold with Product.
1.6 The
Vendors may transfer all or any portion of its interest in the Royalty, but
if
the Royalty becomes payable to three or more parties, those parties will
appoint, and will deliver to the Purchaser, a document executed by all those
parties appointing, a single agent or trustee of all such parties to whom the
Purchaser will make all payments on account of the Royalty. The Purchaser will
have no responsibility as to the division of the Royalty payments among such
parties, and if the Purchaser makes a payment or payments on account of the
Royalty to such appointed trustee or agent in accordance with the provisions
of
this Paragraph 1.6, it will be conclusively deemed that such payment or payments
have been received by the Vendors. All charges of the agent or trustee will
be
born solely by the parties receiving payments on account of the
Royalty.
Any
decision to place the Xxxxxx Xxx Claims into production shall be at the sole
discretion of the Purchaser and the Purchaser shall be under no obligation
to
place the said claims into production. The Purchaser shall have an unfettered
right to suspend or curtail any such production operation as it in its sole
discretion any determine. Advance Royalty payments, if any, paid to the Vendors
pursuant to this Agreement shall be deducted form any Royalty payments that
may
accrue during the term of this Agreement.
