WITH

The Federal Authority for Nuclear Regulation

THIS CONSULTING AND STRATEGIC ADVISORY AGREEMENT, including ATTACHMENTS A through D, that are incorporated by reference, (this “Agreement”) is made as of August 1, 2008 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Thorium Power, Ltd., a Nevada corporation, having its principal offices at 0000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, XxXxxx, XX 00000, XXX (“Thorium Power”), and the Federal Authority for Nuclear Regulation, an entity of the United Arab Emirates (“FANR”). The parties are individually referred to as the “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”

RECITALS

A.	FANR is in the process of being formed to establish and manage nuclear regulatory activities in the UAE;

Thorium Power has been providing consulting and strategic advisory services to the Executive Affairs Authority of Abu Dhabi for the evaluation and development of a nuclear energy program in the United Arab Emirates (“UAE”) and corresponding establishment of a nuclear regulatory authority in the UAE under two previous agreements (listed in Recitals C and D below), entered into with the Executive Affairs Authority of Abu Dhabi (“EAA”);

C.	FANR wishes to implement the “Roadmap” that was provided under the Professional Services Agreement of 30 November 2007 with the EAA and prepare for the continued evaluation of, and, if such evaluation is successful, the establishment of a nuclear regulatory authority in the UAE;

D.	On 17 March 2008, EAA and Thorium Power entered into Amendment Number 1 to the Professional Services Agreement of 30 November, 2007, to provide for early start of implementation of certain high-priority activities that were identified in the Roadmap (“Quick-Start Amendment”);

E.	Thorium Power maintains access to specialized expertise for providing consulting and strategic advisory services to FANR for the purpose of evaluating and, if relevant, the establishment of a nuclear regulatory authority in the UAE; and

FANR desires to obtain Thorium Power’s services as an advisor in the design, implementation and management of the regulatory authority, and to support certain project management and execution activities related to developing the program as described in the Roadmap, where FANR forms a key part of the UAE Nuclear Energy Program Implementation Organization (“NEPIO”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants contained herein and intending to be legally bound hereby, Thorium Power and FANR agree as follows:

1 Consulting and Strategic Advisory Services

1.1

Thorium Power Services

Thorium Power shall provide the following services to FANR:

Act as strategic advisor to FANR and other UAE Government entities designated by FANR on civilian nuclear regulatory and energy matters, based on priorities set by FANR from time to time.

Support the creation of FANR and its ongoing project management & project execution activities in relation to the evaluation and, if relevant development of the nuclear energy program of the UAE, where FANR has the responsibility to oversee nuclear regulatory activities in the UAE and is a key part of NEPIO. The services will generally be guided by the Roadmap with subsequent modifications of implementation objectives as agreed from time to time between the Parties.

A detailed description of the services (‘Services”) is provided in ATTACHMENT A - STATEMENT OF WORK, which may be modified from time to time by agreement between the Parties as described below.

Thorium Power shall determine, in its best judgment and in consultation with FANR, the method and manner of providing its Services towards meeting the program objectives of FANR and plans outlined in the Roadmap.

1.2

Thorium Power Resources

In order to provide the Services, Thorium Power shall provide the resources as described in ATTACHMENT B-THORIUM POWER RESOURCES,, which may be amended from time to time by agreement between the Parties as described in Section 1.5 (Quarterly Reviews).

In the case FANR wishes to increase the amount of Services and corresponding resources provided by Thorium Power, the Parties will agree on the time plan for such changes, and Thorium Power will use its best efforts to provide the resources according to the plan.

In the case FANR wishes to reduce the amount of Services and corresponding resources provided by Thorium, FANR shall give Thorium Power four (4) weeks notice to this effect, and shall pay Thorium Power at the prevailing rate for Services and corresponding expenses during such notice period. In the case such reduction of resources during any consecutive three (3) month period exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the prevailing total resource xxxxxxxx for Thorium Power Resources at the beginning of the period, FANR shall compensate Thorium Power for the group of resources corresponding to such reduction in the same manner as described in Section 3.3 (Termination for Convenience); provided however, that no such “Termination for Convenience” compensation will be required in the case that Thorium Power’s resources providing Services do not exceed five (5) full-time equivalents.

1.3

Review the performance of FANR departments, Thorium Power, other key vendors and other entities as relevant to the activities of the Parties under this Agreement, in relation to the program schedule, budget and other program objectives & policies; and Thorium Power shall prepare a written report in advance of the review on these topics.

Modify, as appropriate and as agreed between, the Parties, the program schedule, budget or other objectives, and correspondingly agree on updates to the Services.

2 Staff Management

2.1 Objective

The overall objective of this Agreement is the development of an exemplary nuclear regulatory authority in the UAE according to the plans outlined in the Roadmap. Thorium Power and FANR will cooperate to balance the need for speed of implementing the nuclear energy program in the UAE, the need for experienced experts, the need to develop a cadre of domestic nuclear regulatory experts over time, and the need to manage resource costs.

2.2 Recruiting of personnel

Thorium Power will support FANR in direct hiring of nuclear related personnel by FANR.

2.3 Transfer of Personnel

As part of managing the staffing for the nuclear regulatory activities in the UAE, Thorium Power shall, if and to the extent directed by FANR, over time, provide for a structured transfer of certain Thorium Power staff from its payroll into a direct contractual relationship with FANR. The Parties shall discuss and agree on the need for such transfers during the regular program reviews described in Section 1.5 (Quarterly Reviews).

If, from time to time, FANR directs that there is to be the transfer of any staff in accordance with this Section 2.3, the provisions for the transfer of such staff from Thorium Power’s payroll to FANR’s payroll shall be as follows:

Thorium Power shall cooperate in the transfer of eligible staff.

Employment or consulting agreements between Thorium Power and transferring personnel shall be modified to the extent agreed between FANR and the relevant personnel immediately prior to transfer and Thorium Power shall waive applicable portions of non-compete provisions to facilitate the provisions of this Agreement.

No Thorium Power employees shall be eligible for transfer within twelve (12) months of the Effective Date. For the avoidance of doubt this does not apply to consultants to or agents of Thorium Power.

Any employees of Thorium Power or its subsidiaries as set out in the side letter dated July 7, 2008 and signed by the President of Thorium Power shall only be eligible for transfer with the approval of Thorium Power.

FANR shall provide three (3) months notice (“Transfer Notice Period”) to Thorium Power of the intention to hire Thorium Power staff directly.

Following the transfer notice, FANR shall continue to pay Thorium Power for the resource during the Transfer Notice Period at the prevailing rate at the time of notice.

Upon the effective transfer from Thorium Power’s payroll, FANR shall pay Thorium Power a transfer fee of thirty three percent (33%) of the individual’s new first twelve (12) months cash compensation (including salary and bonus target), plus reasonable costs as agreed to by the Parties to cover Thorium Power’s recruiting, training, administrative and overhead expenses.

No more than twenty five percent (25%) of Thorium Power’s employees as committed to FANR under this Agreement during any 12 month period can be transferred over the subsequent twelve (12) month period. For the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph does not apply to consultants to or agents of Thorium Power.

In order to maintain stability in the project, FANR shall not discuss offers of employment, directly or indirectly, with Thorium Power employees without prior consultation with Thorium Power.

2.4

If the dispute or controversy is not resolved in the above-described sixty (60) calendar day period, neither Party shall be obligated to continue in mediation. Such mediation shall be held with an experienced mediator, who shall be selected by agreement of the Parties. In the event the Parties are unable to agree upon the mediator, within thirty (30) calendar days of a written request by either Party to do so, then at the request of either Party, the London Court of International Arbitration shall appoint the mediator. In the event that the Parties are unable to resolve any dispute or controversy in mediation, then upon the expiration of the sixty (60) calendar day period, from the date of agreement or appointment of the mediator (as appropriate) either Party may submit any such dispute or controversy to arbitration in accordance with the provisions of this Article 12 (Choice of Law and Dispute Resolution).

12.3 Resolution of Disputes.

Any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination, shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration under the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA) Rules, which are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Article 12 (Choice of Law and Dispute Resolution).

In no event may the arbitrators award punitive or consequential damages. If a solution is not found in the terms of this Agreement, the arbitrators shall be guided by the substantive law of England and Wales, excluding all conflicts of law rules. The decision by the arbitrators shall be final and binding upon the Parties, their successors, and assigns and the Parties shall comply with such decision in good faith. Each Party hereby submits itself to the jurisdiction of the courts of the place where the arbitration is held, but only for the entry of judgment with respect to the decision of the arbitrator hereunder.
