11. Amendments and Waivers. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this
Agreement, including any exhibits hereto, may not be waived, modified, amended,
or supplemented except in a writing signed by General Moly, the Requisite
Consenting Creditors, and in the event of a waiver, modification, amendment, or
supplement to any Definitive Documentation, or to provisions of this Agreement
applicable to a Term Sheet, by each Party materially affected by such waiver,
modification, amendment, or supplement; provided that any waiver, change,
modification, or amendment to this Agreement that adversely affects the economic
recoveries or treatment of any Requisite Consenting Creditor compared to the
recoveries set forth in the Plan Term Sheet (it being agreed that, for the
avoidance of doubt, any change to this Agreement that results in a diminution of
the value of the property to be received by the Requisite Consenting Creditors
under the Plan or a Requisite Consenting Creditor's proportionate share of the
aggregate value to be distributed to all creditors under the Plan shall be
deemed to materially adversely affect the Requisite Consenting Creditors,
whether such change is made directly to the treatment of the Requisite
Consenting Creditors or to the treatment of another class or otherwise), may not
be made without the written consent of each such adversely affected Requisite
Consenting Creditor.
 
 
11

 
 
12. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective and binding upon each
Party upon the execution and delivery by such Party of an executed signature
page hereto.
 
 
13. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.
 
(a) This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the
rights of the Parties shall be governed by, the laws of the State of Colorado,
without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof. Each of the
Parties irrevocably agrees that any legal action, suit, or proceeding (each, a
"Proceeding") arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any Party
or its successors or assigns shall be brought and determined in any federal or
state court in the State of Colorado, and each of the Parties hereby irrevocably
submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Colorado Courts for itself and with
respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, with regard to any such
Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the Restructuring.
Each of the Parties agrees not to commence any Proceeding relating hereto or
thereto except in the Colorado Courts, other than Proceedings in any court of
competent jurisdiction to enforce any judgment, decree, or award rendered by any
Colorado Court. Each of the Parties further agrees that notice as provided in
Section 22 shall constitute sufficient service of process and the Parties
further waive any argument that such service is insufficient. Each of the
Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to assert
that a Proceeding in any Colorado Court is brought in an inconvenient forum or
the venue of such Proceeding is improper. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during
the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, all Proceedings contemplated by this
Section 13(a) shall be brought in the Bankruptcy Court.
 
(b) Each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
any right it may have to a trial by jury in any Proceeding directly or
indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby (whether based on contract, tort, or any other theory).
 
 
14. Specific Performance/Remedies. Upon execution and delivery of Definitive
Documentation, each Party hereto recognizes and acknowledges that a breach by a
Party of any covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement would cause the
other Parties to sustain damages for which such Parties would not have an
adequate remedy at law for money damages and each non-breaching Party shall be
entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief
(including attorneys' fees and costs) as a remedy of any such breach, without
the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy. Each Party
hereby waives any requirement for the security or posting of any bond or similar
instrument in connection with such remedies.
 
 
15. Survival. Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, Section 7(f),
Section 7(h), and Sections 10, 13-22, and 26 shall survive such termination and
shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the terms hereof;
and any liability of a Party for failure to comply with the terms of this
Agreement shall survive such termination as well.
 
 
12

 
 
16. Headings. The headings of the sections, paragraphs, and subsections of this
Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the
interpretation hereof or, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Agreement.
 
 
17. Successors and Assigns; Severability. This Agreement is intended to bind and
inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, permitted
assigns, heirs, executors, administrators, and representatives; provided that
nothing contained in this Section 17 shall be deemed to permit Transfers of any
Claims other than in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement. If any
provision of this Agreement, or the application of any such provision to any
person or entity or circumstance, shall be held invalid or unenforceable, in
whole or in part, such invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only to such
provision or part thereof and the remaining part of such provision hereof and
this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. Upon any such
determination of invalidity, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify
this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as
possible in a reasonably acceptable manner in order that the transactions
contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest
extent possible.
 
 
18. Several, Not Joint, Obligations. The agreements, representations, and
obligations of the Parties under this Agreement are, in all respects, several
and not joint, including among the various Requisite Consenting Creditors.
 
 
19. Relationship Among Parties. Unless expressly stated herein, this Agreement
shall be solely for the benefit of the Parties and no other person or entity
shall be a third-party beneficiary hereof. No Party shall have any
responsibility for any trading by any other entity by virtue of this Agreement.
No prior history, pattern, or practice of sharing confidences among or between
the Parties shall in any way affect or negate this understanding and agreement.
The Parties have no agreement, arrangement, or understanding with respect to
acting together for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting, or disposing of
any equity securities of General Moly and do not constitute a "group" within the
meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
 
 
20. Prior Negotiations; Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the exhibits
hereto (including the Term Sheets), constitutes the entire agreement of the
Parties, and supersedes all other prior negotiations, with respect to the
subject matter hereof and thereof, except that the Parties acknowledge that any
confidentiality agreements executed between General Moly and any other Party
prior to the execution of this Agreement shall continue in full force and
effect.
 
 
21. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which
together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. Execution copies of

be deemed to be a solicitation for votes for the acceptance of the Plan (or any
other chapter 11 plan) for the purposes of sections 1125 and 1126 of the

securities. The votes of the holders of claims against General Moly will not be
solicited until such holders who are entitled to vote on the Plan have received
the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, and related ballots, and other required
solicitation materials. In addition, this Agreement does not constitute an offer
to issue or sell securities to any person or entity, or the solicitation of an
offer to acquire or buy securities, in any jurisdiction where such offer or
solicitation would be unlawful. Although none of the Parties intends that this
Agreement should constitute, and they each believe it does not constitute, a
solicitation or acceptance of a chapter 11 plan of reorganization or an offering
of securities, each Consenting Bondholder acknowledges, agrees, and represents
to the other Parties that it (a) is an "accredited investor" (within the meaning
of Rule 501(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”)), (b) understands that any securities to be acquired by it pursuant to the
Restructuring have not been registered under the Securities Act and that such
securities are, to the extent not acquired pursuant to section 1145 of the
Bankruptcy Code, being offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from
registration contained in the Securities Act, based in part upon such Consenting
Bondholder’s representations contained in this Agreement and cannot be sold
unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from
registration is available, and (c) has such knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters that such Consenting Bondholder is capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of the securities to be acquired by it pursuant
to the Restructuring and understands and is able to bear any economic risks with
respect to such investment.
 
 
26. Interpretation; Rules of Construction; Representation by Counsel. When a
reference is made in this Agreement to a Section, Exhibit, such reference shall
be to a Section, Exhibit, respectively, of or attached to this Agreement unless
otherwise indicated. Unless the context of this Agreement otherwise requires,
(a) words using the singular or plural number also include the plural or
singular number, respectively, (b) the terms "hereof," "herein," "hereby," and
derivative or similar words refer to this entire Agreement, (c) the words
"include," "includes," and "including" when used herein shall be deemed in each
case to be followed by the words "without limitation," and (d) the word "or"
shall not be exclusive and shall be read to mean "and/or." The Parties agree
that they have been represented by legal counsel during the negotiation and
execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any law,
regulation, holding, or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an
agreement or other document shall be construed against the party drafting such
agreement or document.

Kitsault Mine, Ltd
 
Summary of Transaction Framework
 
For Discussion Purposes Only
 
The following non-binding term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) summarizes the principal
terms and conditions by which General Moly, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“General Moly”) shall confirm a Plan of Reorganization under Title 11 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code (“Bankruptcy Code”) to be immediately followed by
a business combination between the reorganized General Moly (“Reorganized Moly”)
and Avanti Kitsault Mine, Ltd.., a British Columbia corporation (“Avanti
Kitsault”), to form a new molybdenum resource development business (the “New
Moly”) (collectively, the “Transactions”). Avanti Kitsault is a wholly-owned
portfolio company of Resource Capital Fund IV L.P. and Resource Capital Fund VI
L.P. (collectively, “RCF”).
 
This Term Sheet does not create binding rights or obligations, does not
constitute or evidence a binding offer or agreement and does not contain all
matters upon which agreement must be reached in order to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby. Except as specifically set forth below, no
party shall be bound with respect to the matters set forth herein unless and
until Definitive Documentation acceptable to the parties is prepared, executed
and delivered and the conditions precedent contemplated hereunder are satisfied.
 
Avanti Kitsault’s principal asset is its undivided, 100% direct interest in the
Kitsault molybdenum mine, a previously producing primary molybdenum mine,
located in northern British Columbia (the “Kitsault Project”).
 
General Moly’s principal assets are (i) Nevada Moly, LLC (“Nevada Moly”) which
holds an 80% interest in Eureka Moly, LLC (the “EMLLC”), which holds the lease
rights to the Mt. Hope Project (the “Mt. Hope Project”), a primary molybdenum
property, located in Eureka County, Nevada, and (ii) Kobeh Valley Ranch, LLC
(“KVR”), which holds certain water rights that are integral to the Mt. Hope
Project.
 
This is a preliminary summary and does not define all of the terms and
conditions of the proposed transaction, but is a framework upon which
documentation for this transaction will be structured, and is a basis for
further discussion and negotiation of such terms as may be appropriate.
Finalization of a new limited liability company, if it occurs, shall be subject
to the execution and delivery of satisfactory documentation, and no party will
have any rights, obligations or liabilities of any kind or nature until the
execution and delivery of satisfactory documentation. This term sheet is
confidential, and the indicative terms and conditions shall not be discussed
with, or delivered to another person without the prior consent of the parties
hereto. The parties acknowledge this term sheet is subject to the Mutual
Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement dated January 17, 2020 between
Avanti Kitsault and General Moly.

Equity of Reorganized Moly on a dollar for dollar basis upon confirmation of the
Plan.
 
New Moly:
New Moly will be a Delaware limited liability (“New Moly”) company and the
shareholders of Avanti Kitsault and Reorganized General Moly will contribute
their shares in Avanti Kitsault and Reorganized Moly, respectively, in exchange
for membership interests in New Moly, with Avanti Kitsault and General Moly
becoming separate wholly owned subsidiaries of New Moly. The combination of
Avanti Kitsault and Reorganized Moly shall be structured and completed in a
tax-efficient manner immediately after the Bankruptcy Court enters its final
Order confirming the General Moly Plan. New Moly will be governed in accordance
with its limited liability company operating agreement (the “Operating
Agreement”) and taxed as a US partnership.
 
Members of New Moly:
The current owners of Avanti Kitsault plus the DIP Lenders and the Common Equity
in Reorganized Moly.
 
Membership Interests in New Moly:
The interests of members of New Moly (“Membership Interests”) will be in common
equity (“Common Equity”).
New Moly shall adopt a management and employee equity compensation plan that
shall vest on an exit of New Moly at the current valuation (the “LTIP”). The
LTIP shall not result in more than 10% dilution to Membership Interests, with up
to 2.5%-3% being initially reserved for Reorganized Moly and Avanti Kitsault
management that remain involved in New Moly.

 
 
 
A-6

 
 
 
Initial Capitalization:
Initially, RCF shall form New Moly and contribute its interest in Avanti
Kitsault in return for all initial Membership Interests of New Moly which is
anticipated to be 11,859,121, at a deemed unit price of $1.00 per unit. New Moly
and Avanti Kitsault shall be debt free with no initial working capital. Upon the
completion of the Transaction with Reorganized Moly immediately after
confirmation of the General Moly Plan of Reorganization, New Moly shall exchange
additional Membership Interests (7,906,081 in aggregate) to the holders of the
Common Equity in Reorganized Moly, respectively.
Initial ownership of New Moly, and prior to accounting for any funding of New
Moly after completion of the Transaction, following the contribution of both
Avanti Kitsault and Reorganized Moly to New Moly is expected to be:
RCF: 65.1%;
Mooney: 23.7%; and,
Hansen: 8.3%.
 
Such amounts are subject to adjustment depending on interest and reimbursable
fees and expenses incurred by RCF in connection with the DIP Credit Agreement
and the related transactions as well as whether certain minor Bondholders elect
to convert into equity in New Moly.
New Moly Operating Budget:
New Moly will be operated pursuant to an annual budget approved by the board of
directors. The New Moly operating budget is anticipated to require funding of $2
million per year for the initial two years following consummation of the
Transaction. The budget is anticipated to be sufficient to fund care and
maintenance costs of both the Kitsault Project and the Mt. Hope Project, legal
defense to the Mt. Hope Project Record of Decision and appeal, and for general
working capital purposes for a period of not less than two years.
 
New Moly Funding Arrangement:
The board of directors may approve future funding of New Moly for ongoing
activities and general company purposes. Funding will be provided as Common
Equity. Membership Interest holders shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to fund their pro rata fully diluted ownership percentage of any
capital calls. RCF shall fund its pro rata amount and any amounts not subscribed
for other holders of membership interests for a period of two years with minimum
funding commitment of $3,400,000. Bruce Hansen shall commit to fund $900,000
over the initial two-year period.

under “Membership Interests” heading.
Select management and officers of Reorganized Moly shall be retained by New Moly
under new consulting contracts to ensure the orderly transition of Reorganized
Moly’s business.
 
Operating Agreement:
The operating agreement, as described in greater detail in the New Moly
Governance and Operating Term Sheet, shall include investor rights and
governance provisions for New Moly, including but not limited to, board
representation, information rights, major decision mechanisms, preemptive
rights, rights of first refusal on transfers of membership interests, drag
rights and other typical terms and conditions.

General Moly by deferring the RoCC, granting a one-time waiver to the CoC Put
and modifying the CoC Put and modifying certain governance provisions under the

EXECUTION VERSION
FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES
Non-Binding Term Sheet
November 17, 2020
 
The following term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) summarizes certain principal terms
and conditions between Mount Hope Mines Inc., a Colorado corporation (“MHMI”),
Eureka Moly, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“EMLLC”), and General
Moly, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“GMI”), under which the parties agree to
support the restructuring efforts of GMI by amending the Lease Agreement (as
defined below). As part of the restructuring, the reorganized GMI will become a
wholly-owned subsidiary of New Moly, a newly created Delaware limited liability
company (“New Moly” or the “Parent”)
 
This Term Sheet is intended only for discussion purposes and is not intended to
create any rights in favor of any party, any liability on the part of any party,
or any obligation (including any obligation to enter into an Amendment, as
defined below, or otherwise consummate a transaction or to continue discussions
or negotiations with respect to an Amendment or any other transaction) on the
part of any party, with respect to any matter. Any transaction is subject to the
satisfactory completion of further legal, business, and financial diligence on
the part of all parties, and negotiation of an amendment with such terms and
conditions, including additional material terms and conditions, which may not be
set forth in this Term Sheet, as are satisfactory to each of the key constituent
parties.  
 
Summary of Certain Transaction Terms
 
 
 
Lease Agreement:
The Agreement dated effective October 19, 2005, between MHMI as Owner and Idaho
General Mines, Inc. (“IGMI” n/k/a GMI), as amended and assigned to EMLLC (the
“Lease Agreement”) for the lease of the Property (as defined in the Lease
Agreement).
 
Amendment of Lease Agreement:
It is the intent of parties to modify the Lease Agreement in connection with the
restructuring of GMI along with EMLLC (the “Amendment”). The Amendment of the
Lease Agreement will include a deferral of the Advance Royalty (as defined in
the Lease Agreement) and elimination of all Periodic Payments (as defined in the
Lease Agreement), except for the Advance Royalty.
 
Deferral of the Advance Royalty:
The Amendment shall include a deferral period (the “Deferral Period”) of the
annual Advance Royalty ($500,000.00 annually) payable under the Lease Agreement
whereby the annual Advance Royalty shall accrue (the “Accrued Advance Royalty”)
beginning with the Advance Royalty payment due on or before October 19, 2021 and
expire upon the date on which the Kitsault molybdenum project (the “Kitsault
Project”) or the Mt. Hope molybdenum project (the “Mt. Hope Project”) achieves
commercial production (the “Expiry Date”), provided the Parent holds a majority
interest in both the Kitsault molybdenum project and the Mt. Hope Project at the
Expiry Date. In the event the Deferral Conversion Option (as defined below) is
exercised, the Deferral Period shall cease and Advance Royalties shall resume
beginning on the Expiry Date, as applicable under the terms of the Lease
Agreement.

 
 
 
B-2

 
 
 
 
If the Deferral Conversion Option is not exercised, the Accrued Advance Royalty
shall become due and payable by EMLLC to MHMI on the Expiry Date and the annual
Advance Royalty shall be reinstated as of the Expiry Date. In the event of
termination of the Lease Agreement by EMLLC, the Accrued Advance Royalty shall
no longer be a liability to EMLLC or the Parent except for calculating the KVR
Credit (as described below).
 
 
Deferral Conversion Option:
 
On the Expiry Date, MHMI shall have the one-time option (the “Deferral
Conversion Option”) to convert the cumulative Accrued Advance Royalty amount to
common shares of the Parent at the then prevailing price of such common shares.
If the Parent’s common shares are publicly listed, such conversion price shall
be based on the prevailing share price of the Parent immediately prior to
announcement of the exercise of the Deferral Conversion Option. If the Parent is
a private company, such conversion shall be based on the fair market value of
the common shares of the Parent, as determined by an independent qualified
valuator. For greater certainty, in the event the Deferral Conversion Option is
exercised, the Advance Royalty will be reinstated beginning on the Expiry Date,
under the terms and conditions described in the Lease Agreement and the
Production Royalty (as defined in the Lease Agreement) shall remain unchanged.
 
Option – Purchase of Kobeh Valley Ranch, LLC:
GMI shall grant in favor of MHMI, an option (“the KVR Option”) to purchase KVR
or all the assets thereof, on mutually acceptable terms, if the EMLLC owners,
either together or individually, fail to provide the capital needed to fund the
care and maintenance budget required for the Mt. Hope Project or EMLLC
terminates or defaults on the Lease Agreement (subject to cure provisions in the
Lease Agreement). In the event MHMI exercises the KVR Option, the Accrued
Advance Royalty shall be credited against the purchase price (the “KVR Credit”).
 
KVR shall agree to maintain and not to convey any water rights it owns or holds
to any third party during the pendency of MHMI’s KVR Option. KVR shall also
agree that its assets shall remain free of all liens, claims and encumbrances.
 
Structure:
The parties agree that the final structure of the amendments to the Lease
Agreement proposed in this term sheet is subject to receipt of final tax,
corporate and securities law advice.
 

 
 
 
B-3

 
 
 
Legal Fee Reimbursement:
MHMI shall be reimbursed for its legal costs by EMLLC incurred to date and in
the future related to the implementation of the Amendment (the “Legal
Reimbursement”) up to a maximum of $25,000. The Legal Reimbursement shall be
paid by EMLLC.
 
Modification of Term:
Section 1.1(b) of the Lease Agreement shall be modified such that Operation
shall include Care and Maintenance. The last sentence of Section 1.1(b) of the
Lease Agreement would be modified to clarify that the cessation of Commercial
Production or Operations will not terminate the Lease Agreement either before or
after the expiration of the initial 30-year term of the Lease Agreement so long
as the Deferral Period remains in effect.
 
Additional Conditions Precedent to Amendment:
Consummation of a Chapter 11 Plan with new capital and management of the
restructured GMI acceptable to all of the key constituent parties and as to be
outlined in a Restructuring Support Agreement, no later than February 1, 2021.

EXECUTION VERSION
FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES
Non-Binding Term Sheet
November 16, 2020
 
The following term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) summarizes the principal terms and
conditions by which POS-Minerals Corporation (“POSCO”) intends to support the
restructuring efforts of General Moly, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“GMI”) with
Resource Capital Funds. The parties understand and agree the terms and
conditions set forth herein are subject to implementation of the transactions
contemplated in the MHMI Term Sheet, the Plan Term Sheet and the NewCo Operating
Agreement Term Sheet attached to the Restructuring Support Agreement.
 
This Term Sheet is intended only for discussion purposes and is not intended to
create any rights in favor of any party, any liability on the part of any party,
or any obligation (including any obligation to consummate a transaction or to
continue discussions or negotiations with respect to a transaction) on the part
of any party, with respect to any matter. Any transaction is subject to further
legal, business, and financial diligence on the part of both parties, all
necessary third parties entering into the necessary consents, agreements and
arrangements to effect the transactions described below, and the terms being
satisfactory to all parties. For the avoidance of doubt, the conditions of this
Term Sheet shall only be valid if the term sheets with certain parties (i.e.
Steve Mooney and Mount Hope Mines Inc.) are agreed and signed, and the
conditions of such term sheets are acceptable to POSCO. Once the conditions of
this Term Sheet are signed and agreed by the parties, the Eureka Moly, LLC
(“EMLLC”) Operating Agreement shall be amended accordingly.
 
 
 
Summary of Transaction Terms
 
 
 
GMI Restructuring:
GMI shall file for and, by no later than February 17, 2021, confirm a Chapter 11
plan (the “Plan”), with new capital and management of the restructured GMI. Such
Plan shall be acceptable to POSCO, as outlined in a Restructuring Support
Agreement to be entered into between GMI and POSCO prior to filing the Chapter
11 bankruptcy petition.
 
Asset Sales:
The parties agree EMLLC will continue to pursue the sale of all assets including
but not limited to the assets as described in Schedule A (the “Asset Sales”).
POSCO agrees it shall provide any commercially reasonable consents that are
required to complete the Asset Sales. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties
agree that they intend to sell all of EMLLC’s assets in an orderly manner in the
context of the market.
 

 
 
 
C-2

 
 
 
 
The budget (the “Sales Budget”) for Asset Sales will be developed during the
restructuring period with input from A.M. King and/or other qualified experts.
In the event actual sales offers differ from estimated sales values outlined in
the Sales Budget, Nevada Moly, LLC (“Nevada Moly”) will be given full authority
to execute an Asset Sale, up to a limit of a 15% differential in value from the
Sales Budget. POSCO’s and GMI’s consent shall be required to the conditions and
prices of asset sales in case there is a differential value of more than 15%
from the Sales Budget.
 
Proceeds from any Asset Sale shall be first used to fund the Minimum Balance
Requirement (as defined below). So long as the Minimum Balance Requirement is
met, all proceeds from Asset Sales shall be distributed as follows: first, until
the Accrued Interest (as defined below) has been paid in full and the capital
contributed by POSCO (the “Contributed Capital”) has been returned in full, (a)
80% to POSCO to be applied first as payment of the Accrued Interest and then as
return of the Contributed Capital (“RoCC”) and (b) 20% to POSCO as a preferred
distribution that is not treated as payment of the Accrued Interest or RoCC; and
thereafter, 80% to Nevada Moly and 20% to POSCO. To illustrate the foregoing:
 
Asset Sale #1: if immediately prior to Asset Sale #1, the Minimum Balance
Requirement is $7,500,000, the Reserve Account is $5,000,000, the Accrued
Interest is $100,000, the balance of the Contributed Capital equals $37,000,000,
and the net proceeds (after payment of legal fees and other expenses incurred in
connection with such transaction) from such Asset Sale are $15,000,000, then (a)
$2,500,000 shall be paid to the Reserve Account to fully fund the Minimum
Balance Requirement, and (b) the remaining $12,500,000 shall be distributed to
POSCO so that (i) $10,000,000 (80% of $12,500,000) is applied first as payment
of the Accrued Interest ($100,000) and then as RoCC ($9,900,000) and (ii)
$2,500,000 (20% 0f $12,500,000) is a preferred distribution to POSCO.
 
Asset Sale #2: if Asset Sale #2 occurs with net proceeds of $50,000,000, a fully
funded Reserve Account of $7,500,000, accrued interest of $400,000, and a
balance of Contributed Capital equal to $27,100,000 ($37,000,000 minus
$9,900,000), then (a) $0 shall be paid to the Reserve Account, (b) $34,375,000
shall be distributed to POSCO so that (i) $27,500,000 (80% of $34,750,000) is
applied first as payment of the Accrued Interest ($400,000) and then as RoCC
($27,100,000, and thus paid off) and (ii) $6,875,000 (20% of $34,375,000) is a
preferred distribution to POSCO, and (c) the remaining $15,625,000 shall either
be retained in EMLLC or distributed, in whole or in part, in accordance with the
members interests (80% Nevada Moly and 20% POSCO), as determined by the
unanimous vote of the members of EMLLC.
 

 
 
 
C-3

 
 
 
 
For clarity, after payment in full of the RoCC and the 20% preferred
distribution to POSCO, any future distributions shall be made in accordance with
the EMLLC Operating Agreement.
 
The Operating Agreement shall be amended to reflect these terms.
 
EMLLC Reserve Account:
The parties agree cash sweeps following Asset Sales will be permitted once the
EMLLC Reserve Account (the “Reserve Account”) reaches a balance of $7.5 million
(the “Minimum Balance Requirement”).
 
Deferral of the Return of Capital Contribution (“RoCC”):
Except as provided upon an Asset Sale, the RoCC will be deferred until the
earlier of a) commercial production being achieved at the Mount Hope Project, b)
EMLLC being placed into bankruptcy, or c) GMI (or its successor in a
restructuring of GMI) being placed into bankruptcy (excluding pursuant to the
Plan). Such RoCC amount shall be reduced by cash sweeps from Asset Sales as
outlined above.
 
The amendment to the EMLLC limited liability company agreement (the “LLC
Agreement”) that defers the RoCC will include that POSCO will be entitled to
quarterly accrued and compounded interest on the unreturned Contributed Capital
at a rate of 1.50% per annum (the “Accrued Interest”), which will accrue
beginning on confirmation of the Plan and will be payable prior to the RoCC.
 
Waiver & Modification of the Change of Control (“CoC”) Put:
 
Deferral of any potential exercise of the CoC put associated with the creation
of the restructured GMI entity according to the Plan for 12 months starting from
the date this Term Sheet is executed. For clarity, this deferral shall not
extend to any other parties which may be involved in future Change of Control
that is not a part of the Plan. The Put Price for the purpose of Section 14.6 of
EMLLC Operating Agreement shall be the Fair Market Value pursuant to Section
14.5 (d) under the Appraisal Procedure pursuant to Section 14.5 (e) whereby
POS-Minerals’ Membership Interest shall be valued as if it was being valued as
an Encumbered Interest.
 
 

 
 
 
C-4

 
 
 
EMLLC Governance:
As part of the ongoing governance and management of EMLLC:
(i) EMLLC will be charged an annual $100,000 management fee by GMI (or its
successor in a restructuring of GMI) in exchange for management services);
(ii) The Representatives of the Members of EMLLC will agree on an updated plan
and Care and Maintenance Budget for EMLLC. The yearly budget (whether Care and
Maintenance or a revised Initial Budget) for EMLLC shall be agreed by the 15th
of December of every year for the budget of following year. The Care and
Maintenance Budget for EMLLC in 2021 shall continue to be funded by the amounts
in the Reserve Account and shall not exceed the amount that is available in the
Reserve Account at the end of 2020. It is estimated that the yearly Care and
Maintenance Budget (after 2021 and after the completion of GMI’s restructuring,
but prior to and without taking into account the proceeds from a Financing) will
be a minimum of $1,200,000 per year in aggregate.
(iii) EMLLC agrees to furnish internally generated financial statements on a
quarterly and annual basis, which POSCO can audit at its own cost, and Sections
9.1 and 9.4 of the Operating Agreement will be revised accordingly;
(iv) GMI shall contribute Kobeh Valley Ranch (“KVR”) to EMLLC, subject to an
option, on terms acceptable to EMLLC, MHMI and POSCO, in favor of MHMI to
purchase KVR or its assets if (i) EMLLC’s members elect not to provide the
capital needed to fund the care and maintenance budget required for the Mt. Hope
Project, or (ii) EMLLC terminates or defaults on the Lease Agreement between
EMLLC and MHMI, as outlined in the term sheet between MHMI, EMLLC and GMI.

For Discussion Purposes Only
 
This non-binding term sheet is a preliminary summary of the indicative basic
terms and conditions for the proposed creation of a new limited liability
company to hold Avanti Kitsault Mine, Ltd. (“Avanti Kitsault”) and General Moly
(“General Moly”, or after confirmation of the plan, “Reorganized Moly”). See the

simplified version of what the company would look like at the end of the
process. This is a preliminary non-binding summary and does not define all of
the terms and conditions of the proposed company, but is a framework upon which
documentation for this transaction would be structured, and is a basis for
further discussion and negotiation of such terms as may be appropriate.

to the execution and delivery of satisfactory documentation, and no party will
have any rights, obligations or liabilities of any kind or nature until the
execution and delivery of satisfactory documentation. This term sheet is
confidential, and the indicative terms and conditions shall not be discussed
with, or delivered to another person without the prior consent of the parties
hereto. The parties acknowledge this term sheet is subject to the Mutual
Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement dated January 17, 2020 between
Avanti Kitsault and General Moly.

The deemed value of the members’ interests immediately following the completion

20,158,633.
In the future, New Moly may adopt a management and employee equity compensation
plan vesting on an exit of New Moly at the current valuation (the “LTIP”). It is
anticipated that the LTIP would not result in more than 10% dilution to all
membership interests, with up to 2.5%-3% being initially reserved for management
from the current Avanti Kitsault and Reorganized Moly that remain involved in
New Moly. Any such plan, its vesting and awards shall all be subject to plan
documentation approved by the board and the Requisite Interest Approval.
 
Accredited Investors:

directors plus Requisite Interest Approval (defined below) of the members. Any
new member must deliver a subscription agreement or equivalent document with
customary representations and warranties regarding such member’s ownership of
membership interests in New Moly and sign and deliver the operating agreement.
 
Management:

Board of directors to initially consist of 5 members, with a minimum of 3 and a
maximum of 9.

Representative as described below.
The initial board of directors is currently contemplated to consist of: Mario
Caron, Bruce Hansen, an RCF appointee, a Mooney appointee and an independent
director appointed by RCF.
Mooney shall be entitled to designate one nominee (a “Mooney Nominee”), for
appointment to the board of directors of New Moly for a period of two years
following the formation of NewCo. After the second anniversary of the formation
of New Moly, so long as Mooney continues to own at least 20% of the membership
units, Mooney shall be entitled to designate a Mooney Nominee, for appointment
to the board of directors of New Moly, provided that, the Mooney Nominee is an
individual eligible to serve as a director pursuant to applicable law. In
addition, for so long as Mooney continues to own at least 10% of the membership
units, Mooney shall also have the right to appoint an observer to the board of
directors.
Designated, appointed directors may consider and act in the best interest of the
member that appointed such director when making decisions for New Moly.
 

 
 
 
D-3

Execution Version
 
 
Board Observer Rights:
Members that have the right to appoint board members will also have board
observer rights.
