ARTICLE 2
AMENDMENTS
Effective as of the date hereof, the Indenture is amended as follows:
| 2.1 | Exchange Basis |
Each of Nomad, Sandstorm and the Warrant Agent acknowledges and agrees that, as and from the date hereof, in accordance with Section 4.1(d) of the Indenture, any Warrantholder who exercises that holder’s Warrants will be entitled to receive, and will accept in lieu of each whole Nomad Share to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon such exercise, the Consideration, subject to further adjustment as provided herein and the Indenture.

| (b) | Where the Indenture refers to Common Shares or an obligation of the Corporation to issue or deliver Common Shares, the provisions of the Indenture will be read mutatis mutandis to reflect that Sandstorm will issue or deliver Sandstorm Shares and not Nomad Shares and that references in the Indenture to the “Common Shares” will mean the “Sandstorm Shares”, references to “Shareholders” or to the “holders of Common Shares” will refer to the “holders of Sandstorm Shares”, and references to “the Corporation” having an obligation to issue or deliver Common Shares will refer to “Sandstorm” having an obligation to issue or deliver Sandstorm Shares, as applicable. |
| (c) | Any issuance or delivery of Sandstorm Shares by Sandstorm pursuant to this Section 2.2 will be treated, for the purposes of the Indenture, as if issued or delivered by Nomad and will have the same effect under the Indenture as if made by Nomad. |
| (d) | Nomad hereby agrees that in consideration for Sandstorm’s agreement to deliver Sandstorm Shares issuable to Warrantholders who exercise their Warrants and Sandstorm’s related agreements pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture, Nomad will be legally obliged to pay to Sandstorm an amount equal to the Exercise Price delivered by Warrantholders, and Sandstorm agrees to accept such legal obligation of Nomad in consideration and satisfaction of Sandstorm’s agreements under this Supplemental Indenture. |
| 2.3 | No Fractional Sandstorm Shares |
In no event shall any Warrantholder be entitled to a fractional Sandstorm Share upon exercise of any Warrants. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture, any fractional Sandstorm Shares that Sandstorm may otherwise be required to issue to a Warrantholder upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number.
| 2.4 | Specific Amendments |
In addition to, and notwithstanding the generality of Section 2.2(b) hereof and the mutatis mutandis language contained therein, and for greater certainty, in order to accommodate the Arrangement, and to fulfil, to the extent possible, the intent and provisions of Section 4.1(d) of the Indenture, the following specific amendments are made to the following provisions of the Indenture:
