(“NJB”) entered into a certain Loan Agreement dated August 21, 2009 (as amended or assigned from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”) pursuant to which the Lender made a $2,500,000 loan (the “Loan”) secured by a Deed of Trust and Security Agreement with Assignment of Rents and Fixture Filing, (as modified, the “Deed of Trust”) on certain real and personal property rights located in Xxxxxxxxx County, Nevada, as legally described on Exhibit A (the “Property”). The Loan Agreement, the note evidencing the loan, the Deed of Trust and all other related and ancillary documents are hereinafter referred to as the “Loan Documents;”

B. Whereas Standard Gold Inc (the “Borrower”) has assumed the obligations of Xxxx under the Loan Documents;

C Whereas the Loan has matured and Borrower has failed to pay the balance due and owing under the Loan (the “Default”);

D. Whereas the Lender has purchased the Loan Documents from NJB pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement dated December 9, 2011;

E. Whereas the Borrower and the Lender wish to amend and restate this Agreement to reflect the acquisition of the Loan Documents by Lender from NBJ and to modify the terms of the temporarily forbearance, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein;

F. Whereas, as a condition of the forbearance by the Lender, the Borrower has agreed to the terms of this Agreement.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the Borrower and the Lender hereby agree as follows:

1. Acknowledgement of Recitals. The Borrower acknowledges that the recitals are true and correct statements of fact.

2. Acknowledgment of Events of Default. The Borrower acknowledges the Default and that as of the date hereof the principal amount outstanding on the Loan is $2,047,728, plus interest accrued thereon (the “Monetary Obligations”).

3. Conditional Forbearance.

(a) Forbearance Period. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Lender hereby agrees to temporarily forbear from initiating legal proceedings, including foreclosure of the Deed of Trust, to enforce collection remedies against the Borrower or its interests in the Property under the Loan Documents in any legal proceeding until March 9, 2012 (the “Forbearance Period”). The Lender shall at all times have the right to seek to enforce its rights under this Agreement and any instruments or agreements delivered in connection with this Agreement. The purpose of the Forbearance Period is to grant Borrower the opportunity to repay in full all Monetary Obligations now or hereafter owing to Lender through a sale of the Property, from refinancing the Deed of Trust, or from other funds available to the Borrower. Borrower expressly stipulates and agrees that the execution of this Agreement does not constitute a cure of the defaults by Borrower under the Loan Documents and that, after giving effect to this Agreement, Borrower remains in payment default of its obligations under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no default occurs or is occurring under this Agreement, Lender agrees to forbear from exercising its remedies under this Agreement or the Loan Documents as set forth herein.

(b) Forbearance Extension. The parties hereto agree that Borrower may extend the Forbearance Period for an additional three month period, on the following terms and conditions: The Borrower shall give Lender irrevocable written notice on or prior to February 10, 2012, of the Borrower’s election to extend the Forbearance Period and together with such notice, the Borrower shall make an interest payment equal to all interest that would be due and owing to the Lender as of March 9, 2012. Upon such notice and such payment, the Forbearance Period shall be automatically extended until June 8, 2012. If (i) the Lender has not been paid in full on or prior to June 8, 2012 or (ii) the Borrower has not entered into definitive documentation with Pure Path Capital Group, LLC or another affiliate of the Lender, then in addition to all other remedies provided for herein or in any Loan Document, the Borrower shall transfer to the Lender 5,000,000 shares of common stock of Borrower.

(c) Forbearance Termination Date. The Forbearance Period will terminate immediately, at Lender’s option, and without notice to or action by any party upon the earlier of: (i) expiration of the Forbearance Period, or (ii) a material breach by Borrower of this Agreement (the “Forbearance Termination Date”). Borrower acknowledges that the Lender has no obligation to extend the Forbearance Period other than as expressly provided in Section 3(b) above or to waive any existing default referred to herein. Lender’s forbearance as contained in this Agreement is limited and shall not be construed to be a forbearance with respect to (1) excluding the Default, any other Event of Default under the Loan Documents (whether now existing or hereafter occurring) which will materially prejudice Lender’s rights or remedies under the Loan Documents, or (2) any other event or condition (whether now existing or hereafter occurring) which is a default hereunder, or materially prejudice any right or remedy that Lender may now have or have in the future, under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents, except as contemplated hereby or as otherwise limited by the Loan Documents.

(d) Non-Cancellation of Obligations/Anti-Merger/Non-Waiver of Rights and Liens. Borrower hereby expressly agrees and acknowledges that by entering into this Agreement and by Lender (or Lender’s designee) taking subsequent possession and/or title to the Property as provided in this Agreement, Lender has not agreed to cancel or cause the cancellation of the Monetary Obligations, or to cause the cancellation, termination or waiver of any of the Loan Documents, but has only agreed to grant a temporary forbearance as provided in Section 3(a) above.

4. Conditions Precedent. The following are conditions precedent to Lender’s obligations under this Agreement:

(a) Receipt and approval by Lender of: (i) the executed original of this Agreement; (ii) receipt of an executed original of a Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure (the “Deed in Lieu”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B; (iii) receipt of an executed original of a Water Rights Deed in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Water Rights Deed”); (iv) receipt of an executed original of a Xxxx of Sale in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Xxxx of Sale”, together with the Deed in Lieu and Water Rights Deed, the “Forbearance Documents”); and (v) receipt of Reports of Conveyance for the Water Rights associated with the Property, which may be recorded with the Nevada State Engineer’s Office, and (vi) any other documents and agreements which are required pursuant to this Agreement, in form and content acceptable to Lender;

(b) Delivery to Lender of such resolutions or certificates as Lender may require, in form and content acceptable to Lender, authorizing the execution of this Agreement and executed by the appropriate persons and/or entities on behalf of Borrower;

(d) Receipt by Lender of evidence that the Borrower has paid current the real property taxes that are currently due and owing.

Xxxxxx & Associates, Inc., 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0X Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000 pursuant to this Agreement.

(a) The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that, at the Lender’s option upon written notice to the Borrower following occurrence of the Forbearance Termination Date, the conveyance of the Property by way of the Forbearance Documents is expressly intended to be an immediate and absolute conveyance of Borrower’s right, title and interest, respectively, in the Property, which shall immediately vest in Lender on the date permitted by Section 6 hereof, and such conveyance has not been granted nor is intended for security purposes in any respect.

(b) Borrower hereby agrees, at its own expense, to execute, deliver, file and record, from time to time, any and all further or other instruments, agreements or other papers, and to perform such acts as Lender may require, to effect the purposes of this Agreement and to secure to Lender the benefit of all rights and remedies conferred upon Lender by the terms of the Loan Documents, as amended by this Agreement.

6. Release of Forbearance Documents/Turnover. To further induce Lender to enter into this Agreement, Lender and Borrower agree as follows:

(a) Full Satisfaction of Monetary Obligations. If, on or before the Forbearance Period Termination, the Borrower pays to Lender in immediately available funds generated from funds obtained by Borrower all Monetary Obligations then due and owing to Lender, Lender will deliver to Borrower executed satisfactions and releases terminating the Loan Documents, and in addition, Lender will release and deliver to Borrower the Forbearance Documents.

(b) Termination of Forbearance Period/Failure to Pay the Monetary Obligations. If the Monetary Obligations have not been paid in full on or before the Forbearance Period Termination, Lender will have the right to take title to the Property, in which event Lender shall date the Forbearance Documents, and as soon as reasonably possible file the same with the Xxxxxxxxx County, Nevada Recorder and such other offices as may be applicable, transferring title to the Property to Lender or Lender’s designee. In such event, Borrower shall immediately turn over possession and control of the Property to Lender, which transfer shall and is intended to be absolutely free of any right of redemption or other right or interest of Borrower, in and to the Property, all improvements thereon, appurtenances and fixtures related and attached thereto, and all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all leases, contracts, licenses and permits related to the ownership, maintenance, occupancy, and operation of the Property, and Lender specifically agrees that if Lender takes title to the Property in such a manner, Lender has waived any other right or remedy available to it hereunder or under the Loan Documents. Lender and Borrower acknowledge and agree that the conveyance of the Property to Lender according to the terms of this Agreement shall be an absolute conveyance of all of Borrower’s right, title, and interest in and to the Property in fact as well as form and was not and is not now intended as a mortgage, trust conveyance, deed of trust, or security instrument of any kind, and the consideration for such conveyance is exactly as recited herein and Borrower has no further interest (including rights of redemption) or claims in and to the Property or to the rents, proceeds, and profits that may be derived thereof, of any kind whatsoever.

(c) Notwithstanding Lender’s acquisition of the Property, the indebtedness evidenced by the Loan shall not be canceled, shall survive the closing and delivery of any deeds, releases, and all of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect after the transaction contemplated by this Agreement has been consummated; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in the Loan Documents, Borrower’s liability shall remain limited to the extent set forth in Section 29 of that certain Assignment and Assumption of Loan Documents and Loan Modification Agreement, executed on or about March 15, 2011, by and among Xxxx Mining & Milling, LLC, as assignor, the Borrower, as Assignee, and Lender) as such has been assumed by Standard Gold Inc. The parties further agree that the interests of Lender in the Property after Lender’s acquisition of the Property shall not merge with the interest of Lender in the Property under the Loan Documents. It is the express intention of each of the parties hereto (and all of the conveyances provided for in this Agreement shall so recite) that such interests of Lender in the Property shall not merge, but be and remain at all times separate and distinct, notwithstanding any union of said interest in Lender at any time by purchase, termination, or otherwise and that the lien of the Deed of Trust on the Property shall be and remain at all times valid and continuous liens on the Property until and unless released of record by Lender. The transfer of the Property to Lender shall be subject to the Loan Documents encumbering the Property; provided that neither such transfer nor anything contained in this Agreement or any of the documents to be executed pursuant hereto shall constitute or be deemed or construed to constitute an assumption by Lender of any of the Loan Documents.

7. Covenants, Representations and Warranties. Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Lender (which representations and warranties shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement) that:

10. Bankruptcy.

(a) In entering into this Agreement, Borrower and Lender hereby stipulate, acknowledge and agree that Lender gave up valuable rights and agreed to forbear from exercising legal remedies available to it in exchange for the promises, representations, acknowledgments and warranties of Borrower as contained herein and that Lender would not have entered into this Agreement but for such promises, representations, acknowledgments, agreements, and warranties, all of which have been accepted by Lender in good faith, the breach of which by Borrower in any way, at any time, now or in the future, would admittedly and confessedly constitute cause for dismissal of any bankruptcy petition pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 1112(b).

(b) As additional consideration for Lender agreeing to the hereinabove described limited forbearance from immediately enforcing its rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, including but not limited to the institution of foreclosure proceedings, Borrower agrees that in the event a bankruptcy petition under any Chapter of the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. §101, et seq.) is filed by or against Borrower at any time after the execution of this Agreement, Lender shall be entitled to the immediate entry of an order from the appropriate bankruptcy court granting Lender complete relief from the automatic stay imposed by §362 of the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. §362) to exercise its foreclosure and other rights, including, but not limited to, obtaining a foreclosure judgment and foreclosure sale, upon the filing with the appropriate court of a motion for relief from the automatic stay with a copy of this Agreement attached thereto. Borrower specifically agree (i) that upon Lender’s filing of a motion for relief from the automatic stay, (A) Lender shall be entitled to relief from the stay without the necessity of an evidentiary hearing and without the necessity or requirement of Lender to establish or prove the value of any property, the lack of adequate protection of its interest in the property, or the lack of equity in the property, (B) Borrower may not directly or indirectly oppose or otherwise defend against Lender’s efforts to gain such relief from the automatic stay; and (C) Borrower agrees to consent to any such requested relief from the automatic stay; (ii) that the lifting of the automatic stay as contemplated herein by the appropriate bankruptcy court shall be deemed to be “for cause” pursuant to §362(d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. §362(d)(1)); (iii) Borrower may not seek a supplemental stay or other relief, whether injunctive or otherwise, pursuant to §105 of the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. §105) or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Lender to enforce any rights it has by virtue of this Agreement, or the Loan Documents or any other rights Lender has, whether now or hereafter acquired, against Borrower, or against any property which is the subject of this Agreement, (iv) Borrower may not challenge or attempt to challenge, or have any standing to challenge or attempt to challenge, for its own benefit, any transfer of any or all of the properties which is the subject of this Agreement as a fraudulent conveyance under any federal, state or other law; (v) Borrower may not oppose the appointment of a trustee, examiner or receiver, and to the extent permitted by law, Borrower shall stipulate that any “custodian” (as defined in the Bankruptcy Code) which is in custody, control or possession of any Property, is excused from complying with §543 of the Bankruptcy Code (11.U.S.C. §543); and (vi) Borrower agrees that §546(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. §546(b)) may be utilized to perfect any assignment of rents in favor of Lender in any of the Loan Documents. This provision is not intended to preclude Borrower from filing for protection under any Chapter of the Bankruptcy Code. The remedies prescribed in this paragraph are not exclusive and shall not limit Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents, this Agreement or under any law.

11. Merger. All prior oral and written communications by or between the Borrower and Lender are hereby merged into this Agreement and shall not be enforceable unless expressly set forth in this Agreement.

12. Release of Claims.

(a) BORROWER, ON BEHALF OF THEMSELVES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS (THE “BORROWER RELEASE PARTIES”), HEREBY FULLY, FINALLY AND COMPLETELY RELEASE AND FOREVER DISCHARGES LENDER, AND ITS RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS, ASSIGNS, AFFILIATES, SUBSIDIARIES, PARENTS, OFFICERS, SHAREHOLDERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, LOAN SERVICERS, ATTORNEYS, AGENTS AND PROPERTIES, PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE HEIRS, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS (COLLECTIVELY AND INDIVIDUALLY, THE “LENDER RELEASE PARTIES”), OF AND FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, CONTROVERSIES, DISPUTES, LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, DEMANDS, DAMAGES, DEBTS, LIENS, ACTIONS AND CAUSES OF ACTION OF ANY AND EVERY NATURE WHATSOEVER, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, WHETHER AT LAW, BY STATUTE OR IN EQUITY, IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT, UNDER STATE OR FEDERAL JURISDICTION, AND WHETHER OR NOT THE ECONOMIC EFFECTS OF SUCH ALLEGED MATTERS ARISE OR ARE DISCOVERED IN THE FUTURE, WHICH THE BORROWER RELEASE PARTIES HAVE AS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE OR MAY CLAIM TO HAVE AGAINST THE LENDER RELEASE PARTIES ARISING OUT OF OR WITH RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL TRANSACTIONS RELATING TO THE LOAN OR THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OCCURRING ON OR BEFORE THE EFFECTIVE DATE, INCLUDING ANY LOSS, COST OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND OR CHARACTER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR IN ANY WAY RESULTING FROM THE ACTS, ACTIONS OR OMISSIONS OF THE LENDER RELEASE PARTIES OCCURRING ON OR BEFORE THE EFFECTIVE DATE. THE FOREGOING RELEASE IS INTENDED TO BE, AND IS, A FULL, COMPLETE AND GENERAL RELEASE IN FAVOR OF THE LENDER RELEASE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, ACTIONS, CAUSES OF ACTION AND OTHER MATTERS DESCRIBED THEREIN, INCLUDING SPECIFICALLY, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY CLAIMS, DEMANDS OR CAUSES OF ACTION BASED UPON ALLEGATIONS OF BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTY, BREACH OF ANY ALLEGED DUTY OF FAIR DEALING IN GOOD FAITH, ECONOMIC COERCION, USURY, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, CAUSE OF ACTION, OCCURRENCE, MATTER OR THING WHICH MIGHT RESULT IN LIABILITY UPON THE LENDER RELEASE PARTIES ARISING OR OCCURRING ON OR BEFORE THE EFFECTIVE DATE. THE BORROWER RELEASE PARTIES UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THE FOREGOING GENERAL RELEASE IS IN CONSIDERATION FOR THE AGREEMENTS OF LENDER CONTAINED HEREIN AND THAT THEY WILL RECEIVE NO FURTHER CONSIDERATION FOR SUCH RELEASE.

(b) THE BORROWER RELEASE PARTIES WARRANT AND REPRESENT TO LENDER THAT THE BORROWER RELEASED PARTIES HAVE NOT SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, CONVEYED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF ANY CLAIMS WHICH ARE THE SUBJECT OF THIS SECTION. THE INCLUSION OF THIS PROVISION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO BE AN ADMISSION BY LENDER THAT ANY SUCH CLAIMS EXIST.
