▇▇▇▇▇▇ Resources shall take all actions that are within its power to control, and will make all commercially reasonable efforts to cause other actions to be taken which are not within its power to control, to ensure that its representations and warranties contained in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects (other than those representations and warranties that are qualified by materiality which shall be true and correct in all respects) as at the Time of Closing.
| -15- |
| 6.2 | Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser |
The Purchaser shall take all actions that are within its power to control, and will make all commercially reasonable efforts to cause other actions to be taken which are not within its power to control, to ensure that its representations and warranties contained in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects (other than those representations and warranties that are qualified by materiality which shall be true and correct in all respects) as at the Time of Closing.
| 6.3 | Taxes |
| 6.3.1 | ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Resources understands, on the basis of its own verifications, that no goods and services, sales, value added, excise, transfer or similar taxes (collectively, the “Transfer Taxes”) in respect of the sale of the NSR Royalty to the Purchaser will be due and payable, and therefore agrees that it will not require payment of Transfer Taxes on Closing. |
| 6.3.2 | In the event that it is determined, following Closing that Transfer Taxes are in fact payable on the sale of the NSR Royalty and notwithstanding Section 6.3.1, the Purchaser shall be liable for and shall pay when due any Transfer Taxes levied by any Governmental Body in respect of the sale of the NSR Royalty to the Purchaser (excluding for greater certainty any income or capital gains taxes which shall be the responsibility of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Resources). ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Resources and the Purchaser shall use their commercially reasonable efforts in good faith to minimize any applicable Transfer Taxes. The Purchaser shall have the right to contest the imposition of any Transfer Taxes, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Resources shall cooperate with the Purchaser in any opposition, contest or challenge to any attempt by any Governmental Body to impose Transfer Taxes. |
| 6.4 | Compliance Verification and Access |
| 6.4.1 | ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Resources shall permit the Purchaser, directly and through its Representatives at its own expense and on reasonable notice to the Project operator at any time prior to the Time of Closing, to have full access to the Property for the purposes of, among other things, verifying the compliance of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Resources with its representations, warranties and covenants hereunder. Such investigations and inspections shall not, however, affect or mitigate the representations and warranties of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Resources hereunder. The Purchaser shall endeavor to ensure that all such access, investigations and inspections will be conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. The Purchaser will indemnify and hold ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Resources and its officers, directors and employees harmless from and against any Losses arising out of any claim or cause of action for loss or damage to property or injury to Persons caused by or resulting from such site visits. |

| -16- |
| (a) | preserve and protect the Property and shall not sell, transfer or dispose of any part of the Property or grant any Encumbrance to any Third Party on the Property; |
| (b) | not take any action, omit to take any action, or enter into any transaction involving or otherwise affecting the Property which, if taken or entered into before the date of this Agreement, could cause any representation or warranty of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Resources in this Agreement to be incorrect in any material respect or constitute a breach of any covenant or agreement of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Resources contained herein in any material respect without the prior consent of the Purchaser, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; |
| (c) | ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Resources shall at its own expense use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain by the Time of Closing all certificates, consents or waivers of Third Parties, if any, required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; |

No such disclosure, however, will cure any misrepresentation or breach of warranty for the purposes of Section 3.1.1(a); |
| (f) | ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Resources shall maintain the Property in good standing (by among other things performing all required assessment work and paying all Taxes and fees payable under Applicable Law or otherwise on the Property), duly maintain Books and Records in respect of the Project in accordance with industry standards, and shall continue to operate its assets in respect of the Project in accordance with customary standards; |

| 6.6 | Use of Proceeds |
| 6.6.1 | ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Resources shall use the proceeds from the Cash Purchase Price only for furthering the development of the Project and for general working capital (but only so long as the use of the Cash Purchase Price for general working capital is primarily in relation to and to further the advancement of the Property and the Project which includes the repayment of debt currently outstanding and coming due).

| 7.3.4 | With respect to any Third Party Claim in respect of which the Indemnified Party has given notice to the Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 7.3.1 and in respect of which the Indemnifying Party is not entitled to assume the defence or has not elected to do so, the Indemnifying Party may participate in (but not control) such defence assisted by counsel of its own choosing at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense. |

| (a) | those employees whose assistance, testimony or presence is necessary to assist such Party in evaluating and in defending any Third Party Claim; and |
| (b) | all documents, records and other materials in the possession of such Party reasonably required by such Party for its use in defending any Third Party Claim, |
and shall otherwise co-operate with the Party defending such Third Party Claim.

| 7.3.7 | Upon making a payment in full of any Loss, the Indemnifying Party shall, subject to the rights of any insurers and to the extent of such Loss, be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party against any Third Party in respect of such Loss. |
| 7.3.8 | Any Person providing indemnification pursuant to the provisions of this Article 7 is referred to herein as an “Indemnifying Party”, and any Person entitled to be indemnified pursuant to the provisions of this Article 7 is referred to herein as an “Indemnified Party”. |
| 7.4 | No Duplication |
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, any amounts payable pursuant to the indemnification obligations under this Article 7 shall be paid without duplication, and in no event shall any Party be indemnified under different provisions of this Agreement for the same Losses.

| 8.10 | Dispute Resolution |
Subject to any incompatible provision of this Section 8.10, any dispute, controversy or claim between ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Resources and the Purchaser, arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the execution, interpretation, application breach, termination, or invalidity thereof, shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with The Arbitration Act, 1992 (Saskatchewan) or any successor or replacement legislation which may be in force, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the relevant Party or its assets.

| -10- |
| 11.2 | Payments |
| 11.2.1 | Except when an election is made by Recipient under Section 3.3, Royalty payments will be due and payable Quarterly within 45 days after the end of the calendar Quarter in which the obligation to pay the same accrued. The Royalty payments will be accompanied by an Operations Report. |

| 11.3.3 | Title to Refined Gold delivered to the Recipient under this Royalty Agreement shall pass to Recipient at the time such Refined Gold is credited to the Recipient at the mint or refinery. |
| 11.3.4 | Any Royalty that is paid in kind shall reflect the Allowable Deductions that are incurred and deductible in calculating Net Smelter Returns under this Royalty Agreement, and the Payor shall be entitled to deduct that number of ounces of Refined Gold, equal in value to the dollar amount of Allowable Deductions, from the ounces of Refined Gold to be credited to the Recipient in respect of the applicable Royalty payment. The number of ounces of Refined Gold shall be determined using the dollar amount per ounce that would have been used to determine Gross Proceeds if the Royalty had been paid in cash. |
| -11- |
| 11.4 | Audit and Adjustments |
All Royalty payments will be considered final and in full satisfaction of all obligations of the Payor unless the Recipient gives the Payor written Notice describing and setting forth an objection to the determination or calculation of the Royalty within one year after receipt by the Recipient of the Operations Report referred to in Section 5.2 that relates to the Royalty payment in question. If the Recipient objects to a particular Operations Report, then the Recipient shall have the right, for a period of 90 days after the Payor receives Notice of such objection, upon reasonable Notice and at all reasonable times, to have the Payor’s Books and Records relating to the calculation of the Royalty in question audited by an independent firm of certified public accountants or chartered accountants selected by the Recipient. If such audit determines that there has been a deficiency or an excess in the payment made to the Recipient, such deficiency or excess will be resolved by adjusting the next Quarterly Royalty payment due. The Recipient will pay all costs of such audit unless a deficiency of 5% or more of the amount due to the Recipient is determined to exist. The Payor will pay the costs of such audit if a deficiency of 5% or more of the amount due to the Recipient is determined to exist. Failure on the part of the Recipient to make claim on the Payor for adjustment in such one-year period will establish the correctness of the Royalty payment and preclude the filing of exceptions thereto or making of claims for adjustment thereon; provided however that if fraud or gross negligence is determined to exist in respect of any Royalty payment, then no time limit shall preclude audits and adjustments on past Royalty payments.

The Payor shall be permitted to sell any form of Products to an Affiliate of the Payor, provided that such Sales shall be deemed, for the purposes of this Royalty Agreement, to have been Sold at prices and on terms no less favourable to the Payor than those that would be extended by an unaffiliated third Person in an arm’s length transaction under similar circumstances and, where applicable, shall be determined based on the value of the Products as set out under the definition of “Gross Proceeds” herein. If the Payor proposes to sell any form of Products to an Affiliate of the Payor, the Payor shall provide advance notice of the Sale to the Recipient. The Payor will be permitted to contract with an Affiliate of the Payor or an unaffiliated third Person for the smelting or other processing of Products, provided that such contract is on an arm’s length basis at market terms.
