The number of Shares to be delivered shall be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the interest or principal payment owed by the product of (x) 1.15 multiplied by (y) the volume weighted average closing price per Share on the

Toronto Stock Exchange for the five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (converted into U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate quoted in the Wall Street Journal on the last Business Day prior to the Closing Date); provided, however, the number of Shares issuable upon such conversion shall not be less than 9.9% nor more than 14.9% of the total issued and outstanding Shares immediately after giving effect to such conversion. If such conversion would otherwise result in a number of Shares being issued that is (i) less than 9.9% of the total issued and outstanding Shares immediately after giving effect to such conversion, then Purchaser will issue to URI such number of Shares as equals 9.9% of the total issued and outstanding Shares immediately after giving effect to such conversion and (ii) more than 14.9% of the total issued and outstanding Shares immediately after giving effect to such conversion, then Purchaser will issue to URI such number of Shares as equals 14.9% of the total issued and outstanding Shares immediately after giving effect to such conversion, in each case in complete satisfaction of the converted principal and interest payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Option is exercised prior to the date on which the Convertible Payment would be converted into Shares hereunder, the foregoing 9.9% and 14.9% in this Section shall each be proportionately reduced by multiplying each such percentage by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the Convertible Payment as reduced pursuant to Section 3.03(c) and the denominator of which is the amount such Convertible Payment would have been but for the reduction pursuant to Section 3.03(d). After the first anniversary of the Closing Date, all remaining principal and interest payments are due and payable in cash at the scheduled payment date. In addition to the above listed consideration, URI shall have the right to appoint one director to Purchaser’s board of directors for so long as URI holds more than ten percent (10%) of Purchaser’s issued and outstanding Shares.

Section 3.02

Interest. All sums payable hereunder which are not paid in a timely manner will bear interest at an annual rate equal to the higher of (X) the interest rate applicable pursuant to Section 3.01(b) or (Y) LIBOR plus one percent (1.00%) from the date payment was due through and including the date on which payment is made.

Section 3.03

Purchase Option.

If URI exercises the Option, then at or prior to the Option Closing (as defined below), Purchaser shall cause the Purchaser Subsidiaries to enter into such agreements, execute such documents and instruments (including deeds) and take such actions, and cause its Affiliates to enter into such agreements, execute such documents and instruments or take such actions, as may be necessary or advisable in order to transfer all of Laramide USA’s right, title and interest in the La Xxx Assets to Laramide La Xxx, in each case, free and clear of Liens, other than Permitted Liens and any Liens listed on Schedule 3.03(a). Any such agreements, documents or instruments shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to URI. Closing costs, including real property transfer taxes, recording costs and any escrow fees related to the obligations in this Section 3.03(a) shall be paid by Purchaser.

(b)

Option Period. The Option shall be exercisable at any time during the period between the Closing and the Option Expiration Date. The period beginning at the Closing and ending at 5:00 p.m. Mountain Time on the Option Expiration Date shall be referred to hereinafter as the “Option Period.” The Option may be exercised by URI at any time during the Option Period by delivery to Purchaser of a notice of election to exercise the Option (the date such notice is effective being referred to

hereinafter as the “Exercise Date”). If URI fails or elects not to exercise the Option at or before the end of the Option Period, the Option shall automatically expire.

(c)

Stock Purchase Agreement; Closing of Purchase Option. If URI timely exercises the Option, Purchaser and URI will negotiate in good faith a stock purchase agreement pursuant to which Purchaser would sell all of the outstanding capital stock of Laramide La Xxx to URI. The closing of the sale of outstanding capital stock of Laramide La Xxx pursuant to such stock purchase agreement (the “Option Closing”) shall take place within thirty (30) days after the Exercise Date, at a time and place mutually agreeable to the Parties.

(d)

Impact on Purchase Price and Note. Simultaneous with the Option Closing, the Note and the provisions of Section 3.01(b) of this Agreement shall be automatically revised, without the need for any further action or written instrument between the Parties, so that (a) the principal amount of the Note is reduced to US$3,250,000 (the “Adjusted Principal Amount”), (b) the amounts of the remaining principal payments are reduced to equal amounts of the then unpaid Adjusted Principal Amount, due on the first, second and / or third anniversary, as applicable, of the Closing Date, and (c) the interest payments on the principal amount due under the Note are reduced accordingly. URI shall execute such additional instruments, agreements and other documents, including an amended and restated Note, as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser to evidence the foregoing.

Section 3.04

Required Withholding. Purchaser is entitled to withhold and deduct from any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement (including the Cash Purchase Price) amounts that it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of any such payment under the Code, applicable foreign laws or under state Law. To the extent that any amounts are deducted, withheld and paid to the applicable Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.04 by Purchaser or the Company, as the case may be, such deducted, withheld and paid amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which Purchaser or the Company, as the case may be, made such deduction, withholding and payment.

ARTICLE VIII TAX MATTERS

Purchaser and the Sellers shall cooperate in good faith to minimize, to the extent permissible under applicable Law, the amount of and to fulfill any filing requirements with respect to any such Transfer Taxes.

Section 8.02

Federal Income Tax Treatment of Transaction.

(a)

The Sellers and Purchaser each agree that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, they will report the purchase and sale of the Transferred Shares as a purchase of stock; provided that, at Purchaser’s sole election, Purchaser and Sellers shall join in making an election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code and any corresponding provision of state or local law (collectively, a “Section 338(h)(10) Election”) with respect to the purchase and sale of the stock of the Company. If Purchaser requests that a Section 338(h)(10) Election be made, Purchaser and Sellers shall cooperate fully with each other in the making of any such election including the filing of all required IRS forms and related forms under state and local Law. Sellers shall pay any Tax attributable to the making of a Section 338(h)(10) Election. Purchaser and Sellers shall agree to an allocation of the purchase price in a manner consistent with Code Sections 338 and 1060 and regulations thereunder. If they are unable to reach agreement concerning such allocations within one hundred fifty (150) days after the Closing Date, the matter shall be submitted to an independent accounting firm selected by Purchaser and reasonably acceptable to Sellers for final determination. Purchaser, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, shall equally bear the expenses and fees of such accounting firm with respect to such determination.

(b)

If Purchaser does not request that a Section 338(h)(10) Election be made, then Sellers shall, at Purchaser’s request, make the election described in Treasury Regulation § 1.1502-95(c) to apportion to the Company a portion of the consolidated § 382 limitation that resulted from each of the Section 382 ownership changes that have occurred since the year 1999. The apportion election for each such ownership change shall be in such form as reasonably agreed by URI and Purchaser that would apportion an amount of the consolidated § 382 limitation (including both the value element and the adjustment element) so as to place the Company, as nearly as possible (and with respect to both such elements), in the same position that it would be in had the Company been subject to a separate § 382 limitation with respect to the portion of the consideration in the transaction that resulted in the ownership change that was reasonably allocable to the equity of the Company, In addition, if Purchaser does not request that a Section 338(h)(10) Election be made, Sellers shall (A) cooperate in making an election under Treasury Regulation § 1.1502-36(d)(i)(6)(A), and any similar election available under state Law, to reduce the Sellers’ basis in the transferred stock of the Company in order to reduce to the maximum extent possible any reduction to the Company’s tax attributes resulting from the application of Treasury Regulation § 1.1502-36(d), and (B) not make any election described in Treasury Regulation § 1.1502-36(d)(i)(6)(B), or any similar deduction available under state Law, which would be likely to adversely affect Purchaser or its Affiliates. At Purchaser’s request, URI shall provide proof to Purchaser of the elections described in this Section 8.02(b) that have been made.

Section 8.03

Tax Filings. URI shall cause to be included in its income Tax Returns for the Affiliated Group of which it is the parent corporation for all periods ending on or before the Closing Date all items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Company, shall cause such Tax Returns to be timely filed with the appropriate taxing authorities, and shall be responsible for the timely payment (and entitled to any refund) of all Taxes due with respect to the periods covered by such Tax Returns. To the extent permitted by Law or administrative practice, (a) the taxable year of the Company that includes the Closing Date shall be treated as closing on (and including) the Closing Date, (b) all transactions occurring on the Closing Date but before the Closing shall be reported on Sellers’ U.S. federal Tax Returns to the extent permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B) and

shall be similarly reported on other Tax Returns of Seller or its Affiliates to the extent permitted by applicable Law, and (c) Sellers shall not elect to retain any net operating loss carryovers or capital loss carryovers of the Company. URI shall be responsible for filing with the appropriate Governmental Authority the applicable Tax Returns for Asset Taxes which are required to be filed on or before the Closing Date and paying the Taxes reflected on such Tax Returns as due and owing. Purchaser shall be responsible for filing with the appropriate taxing authorities the applicable Tax Returns for all Asset Taxes that are required to be filed after the Closing Date and paying the Taxes reflected on such Tax Returns as due and owing; provided, however, that in the event that URI is required by applicable Law to file a Tax Return with respect to such Asset Taxes after the Closing Date which includes all or a portion of a Tax period for which the Purchaser is liable for such Taxes, following URI’s request and the provision by URI to Purchaser of a statement setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which URI is entitled along with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the amount of the reimbursement, Purchaser shall promptly pay to URI all such Taxes allocable to the period or portion thereof beginning at or after the Closing Date, whether such Taxes arise out of the filing of an original Tax Return or a subsequent audit or assessment of Taxes. URI shall be entitled to all Tax credits and Tax refunds which relate to any such Taxes allocable to any Tax period, or portion thereof, ending before the Closing Date. Purchaser shall be entitled to all Tax credits and Tax refunds which related to any such Taxes allocable to any Tax period, or portion thereof, ending on or after the Closing Date.

Section 8.04

Current Tax Period Taxes. Asset Taxes assessed with respect to the Tax period in which the Closing occurs (the “Current Tax Period”) and any other Taxes of the Company excluding Taxes which are based on the quantity or the value of production of Minerals, such as any ad valorem, property, severance production or similar Taxes which (in each case) are based on quantity of or the value of production of Minerals, and excluding income Taxes and Taxes which are imposed on the sale, purchase or transfer or property (other than the sale of the Transferred Shares as provided in this Agreement) and excluding Taxes that are otherwise transactionally based, shall be apportioned between URI and Purchaser as of the Closing Date with (a) URI being obligated to pay a proportionate share of the actual amount of such Taxes for the Current Tax Period determined by multiplying such actual Taxes by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Current Tax Period prior to the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Current Tax Period and (b) Purchaser being obligated to pay a proportionate share of the actual amount of such Taxes for the Current Tax Period determined by multiplying such actual Taxes by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Current Tax Period on and after the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Current Tax Period. Taxes which are based on quantity of or the value of production of Minerals shall be the responsibility of Purchaser (in the absence of any production of minerals by the Company on or prior to the Closing Date to which such Taxes might apply) and all other Taxes which are imposed on the sale, purchase or transfer of property (other than the sale of the Transferred Shares as provided in this Agreement), or Taxes that are otherwise imposed on a transactional basis, shall be apportioned between URI and Purchaser based on the applicable date of sale, purchase or transfer. If it becomes necessary for any reason to allocate income Taxes or similar Taxes of the Company between Sellers and Purchaser for a taxable period that includes but does not end on the Closing Date, such Taxes shall be allocated between the portion of such taxable period that ends on the Closing date and remaining portion of such taxable period based upon a closing of the books at the end of the Closing Date. In the event that the URI or Purchaser makes any payment for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this Article, the applicable Party shall make such reimbursement promptly but in no event later than ten (10) days after the presentation of a statement setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which the presenting Party is entitled along with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the amount of the reimbursement.

Section 8.05

Tax Cooperation. After the Closing, Purchaser and URI will provide each other with such assistance (including by making employees available for assistance) as may

reasonably be requested by any of them in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return, or in connection with any audit or other examination by any Tax authority, or in connection with any judicial or administrative proceedings relating to liability for Taxes of Seller or the Company. Without limiting the requirements of the preceding sentence, URI agrees to provide Purchaser with information sufficient to determine the Company’s Tax attributes immediately following the Closing Date and the limitations to which such tax attributes would be subject for purposes of allowing the Company to prepare income Tax Returns for periods ending after the Closing Date and to determine whether to elect to make a Section 338(h)(10) Election in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. During the period commencing on the Closing Date and expiring on the earlier of seven (7) years after the Closing Date or the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations of the applicable taxable matter, each Party hereto will retain and provide the other with any records or information which may be relevant to such return, audit or examination, proceedings or determination. Any information obtained pursuant to this Section 8.05 providing for the sharing of information or the review of any Tax Return or other schedule relating to Taxes shall be kept confidential by the Parties. Each Party shall, upon the request of the other Party, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

Section 8.06

Tax Agreements. All Tax sharing agreements between Sellers, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, will be terminated as of the Closing Date after normal operations but before any “deemed sale of assets” under Section 338(h)(10).

(c)

by written notice from URI to Purchaser, in the event Purchaser (i) breaches or fails to perform in any material respect any of its agreements or covenants contained herein required to be performed by it at or prior to the Closing or (ii) breaches any of its representations and warranties contained in Article V, which, in each of clauses (i) and (ii), failure or breach would result in the failure of any of the closing conditions specified in Section 7.02 and which failure or breach, if capable of being cured, is not cured within forty-five (45) days following URI having notified Purchaser in writing of the nature of such breach or failure to perform and its intent to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01(c); provided that URI may only exercise their rights under this Section 9.01(c) if the Sellers are not then in breach of this Agreement so as to cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.01 unable to be satisfied;

(d)

by either URI or Purchaser if the Closing has not occurred on or before September 30, 2016; provided, however, that neither URI nor Purchaser will be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01(d) if such Party’s (or, in the case of URI, IntermediateCo’s) willful or knowing breach of this Agreement has prevented the consummation of the transactions at or before such time; and

Section 9.02

Procedure upon Termination and Break Fee. In the event of termination by Purchaser, URI, or both pursuant to Section 9.01, written notice in accordance with the applicable provision of Section 9.01 shall be given to the other Party, and this Agreement shall terminate upon the giving of such notice, and the purchase of the Transferred Shares shall be abandoned, without further action by Purchaser or the Sellers. Upon termination of this Agreement by Purchaser under Section 9.01(e), or URI under Section 9.01(c), the non-terminating Party shall promptly pay to the terminating Party a US$250,000 break fee (the “Break Fee”). The Parties agree such termination will cause the non-terminating Party to incur substantial economic damages and losses of types and in amounts which are impossible to compute and ascertain with certainty as a basis for recovery by the Parties, and that the Parties intend to liquidate damages and the Break Fee represents a fair, reasonable and appropriate estimate thereof and not a penalty. Accordingly, in lieu of actual damages, the Parties agree that the Break Fee may be assessed and recovered without being required to present any evidence of the amount or character of actual damages sustained by reason thereof in the amount of US$250,000. Upon termination pursuant to Section 9.01(c) or Section 9.01(e), and prompt payment of the Break Fee, Article X shall cease to apply to claims relating to the breach or failure to perform pursuant to which such termination was effected, other than claims relating to Section 6.06.

Section 9.03

Effect of Termination. In the event that this Agreement is validly terminated as provided herein, then each of the Parties shall be relieved of their duties and obligations arising under this Agreement (other than those duties and obligations under Section 9.02 after the date of such termination and such termination shall be without liability to Purchaser or the Sellers; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9.03 shall relieve Purchaser or either Seller of any liability for refusal to close when the other Party has performed under this Agreement prior to the effective time of termination.

ARTICLE X INDEMNIFICATION

Section 10.01

Indemnification by URI. Subject to the following provisions of this Article X, from and after the Closing, URI shall defend, indemnify and hold Purchaser, the Company, their respective Affiliates (from and after the Closing Date), officers, directors and employees (the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, fines and related reasonable and necessary costs and expenses (including interest, penalties and reasonable

attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Losses”) that are incurred by any Purchaser Indemnified Party (a) based upon or resulting from any failure of the representations or warranties made by either Seller in this Agreement to be true and correct in all respects at and as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date; (b) based upon or resulting from the breach of any agreement or covenant of either Seller in this Agreement; (c) that are attributable to taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of the Company for all Taxable periods (and portions thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date, provided that any such Taxes for a taxable period including but not ending on the Closing Date shall be allocated for such purposes between the portion of the taxable period that ends on the Closing Date and the remaining portion of the taxable period in accordance with the principles of Section 8.04; (d) all Taxes of any member of each Affiliated Group of which the Company is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date; and (e) any and all Taxes of any Person (other than the Company) imposed on the Company as a transferee or successor, by contract or pursuant to any Law, rule, or regulation, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing.

Section 10.02

Indemnification by Purchaser. Subject to the following provisions of this Article X, from and after the Closing, Purchaser shall defend, indemnify and hold the Sellers, their respective Affiliates, officers, directors and employees (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all Losses that are incurred by any Seller Indemnified Party (a) based upon or resulting from any failure of the representations or warranties made by Purchaser in this Agreement to be true and correct in all respects as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date; (b) based upon or resulting from the breach of any agreement or covenant of Purchaser in this Agreement; (c) based upon or arising from the operation of the business or the assets or properties of the Company after the Closing (so long as it is an Affiliate of Purchaser); or (d) that are attributable to Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of the Company for all taxable periods for which Purchaser is responsible as provided in Article VIII.

Section 10.03

When Payable. Indemnification under this Article X with respect to any claim concerning any Loss shall be payable: (a) upon the resolution of such claim by mutual agreement between URI and Purchaser; (b) in accordance with a final judgment, award, order or other ruling (which is not subject to appeal or with respect to which the time for appeal has elapsed) by a court or arbitral tribunal having jurisdiction over the Parties and the subject matter of such claim or to which such claim was submitted for resolution by joint agreement between URI and Purchaser; or (c) upon the final settlement of such claim with a Third Person pursuant to mutual agreement among URI, Purchaser and the applicable Third Person.

Section 10.04

Notice of Claim; Right to Participate in and Defend Claims; Specified Procedures for Tax Matters.

(a)

Claim Notice. If any Purchaser Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party (hereinafter the “Indemnified Party”): (a) receives notice of the assertion of any claim, the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding, or the imposition of any penalty or assessment by a Third Person (including any Governmental Authority) in respect of which indemnity may be sought under Section 10.01 or Section 10.02 (a “Third-Party Claim”); or (b) shall have a claim for indemnification under Section 10.01 or Section 10.02 which does not relate to a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Party from which indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in accordance with Section 11.02 (the “Notice”). Failure to promptly provide such notice, however, shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any of its obligations under this Article X unless, and only to the extent, the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. The Notice shall include a description in reasonable detail of the nature of the Direct Claim or Third-Party Claim and the Sections of this Agreement which form the basis for indemnification.

(b)

Defense of Third-Party Claims.

(i)

If a Third-Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to the Indemnified Party for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof. The Parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third-Party Claim, and the use of reasonable efforts to make employees and representatives available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

(ii)

Whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third-Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Indemnifying Party may pay, settle or compromise a Third-Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, so long as such settlement includes: (i) an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such Third-Party Claim; (ii) does not subject the Indemnified Party to any injunctive relief or other equitable remedy; and (iii) does not include a statement or admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.

Section 10.05

Survival.

(a)

The representations and warranties of the Parties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing, and claims may be asserted with respect thereto, only to the extent set forth in this Article X.

(b)

An Indemnified Party must give notice to the Indemnifying Party of any claim for indemnification under Article X in the manner described in Section 11.02 and within the time periods described below, and any claim for indemnification not made by an Indemnified Party on or prior to the applicable date will be irrevocably and unconditionally released and waived.

(i)

No claim for indemnification relating to the failure of any of the representations and warranties in Article IV or Article V to be true and correct shall be made following 24 months after the Closing Date (the “Survival Period”), provided, however, that such Survival Period shall not apply to the Sellers’ Fundamental Representations, Section 4.10 (Taxes and Assessments) or Purchaser’s Fundamental Representations.

(ii)

No claim for indemnification relating to the failure of any of the representations and warranties in Section 4.10 (Taxes and Assessments) or under Sections 10.01(c), (d) or (e) shall be made later than the date that is ninety (90) days after the expiration of

the statute of limitations for assessment, levy, or collection of the Tax to which such representation or warranty relates.

(iii)

There shall be no expiration date for claims for indemnification relating to the failure of any of the representations and warranties in the Sellers’ Fundamental Representations or the Purchaser’s Fundamental Representations to be true and correct.

Section 10.06

Certain Limitations on Indemnification. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article X, the Sellers shall not have any indemnification obligations under Article X for Losses of any Purchaser Indemnified Parties, other than Losses described in Section 10.01(c), (d) and (e) unless the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds US$25,000 (the “Basket”), and Purchaser shall not have any indemnification obligations under Article X for Losses of any Seller Indemnified Parties, other than Losses described in Section 10.02(d), unless the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds the Basket. If the amount of Losses exceeds the Basket, Purchaser Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties will be entitled to indemnification in respect of all Losses. URI is not obligated to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnified Party for (i) any Losses arising under Section 10.01(a) that exceed, in the aggregate, $1,000,000 (the “URI R & W Cap”), or (ii) any Losses arising under Section 10.01(b) that exceed, in the aggregate and together with any amounts under the URI R & W Cap, $2,000,000, other than, in either case, Losses arising under Sections 10.01 (c), (d) and (e). Purchaser may offset any amounts owed to it by URI as a result of URI’s indemnification obligations under this Article X against amounts owed to Sellers by Purchaser under the Note. Purchaser is not obligated to indemnify any Seller Indemnified Party for (i) any Losses arising under Section 10.02(a) that exceed, in the aggregate, $1,000,000 (the “Purchaser R & W Cap”), or (ii) any Losses arising under Section 10.02(b) that exceed, in the aggregate and together with any amounts under the Purchaser R & W Cap, $2,000,000, other than Losses arising under Section 10.02(d).
