AMENDING AGREEMENT

 

This Amending Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made as of the 15th day of October, 2020, by and between Dakota Territory Resource Corp, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and JR Resources Corp., a Nevada corporation (“JR”).

 

WHEREAS, on May 26, 2020 the Company and JR entered into an agreement (the “Original Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company granted a subscription right to JR to purchase from the Company a certain amount of Shares on or prior to 5:00 p.m. Vancouver time on October 15, 2020. 

 

WHEREAS, concurrently upon execution of this Agreement, JR intends to exercise in part its right to purchase Shares pursuant to the Original Agreement for an Investment Amount of $10,450,000, payable $9,000,000 in cash and $1,450,000 through the conversion of the Amended Note being collectively the Investment Amount, and the Company shall issue to JR 69,666,667 Shares on Closing, being the number of Shares derived by dividing the Investment Amount by the Per Share Purchase Price in accordance with section 2.2(a)(i)(A) of the Original Agreement, all as set out in the Notice of Exercise attached hereto.

 

WHEREAS, the parties contemplate that the cash proceeds of such Closing shall be used as specified in the mutually agreed use of proceeds schedule referred to in section 2.2(a)(i)(D) of the Original Agreement, which is required to be delivered by the Company as a Company Deliverable on Closing. 

 

WHEREAS, concurrently upon execution of this Agreement, the Company intends to appoint up to two of the JR Designees (to join the three existing Company directors), such that immediately following the execution of this Agreement, the Company Board will consist of up to five directors, up to two of whom will be JR Designees. 

 

WHEREAS, the Company is contemplating the purchase of additional surface and mineral rights located in the State of South Dakota. 

 

WHEREAS, because the COVID-19 pandemic has delayed the accomplishment of certain of the milestones set out in the Original Agreement, the Parties acknowledge that it is in their respective best interests to extend the Termination Date to February 15, 2021. 

 

WHEREAS, section 7.6 of the Original Agreement provides that any term of the Original Agreement may be amended, terminated or waived only with the written consent of the Company and JR prior to a Change of Control Closing or as otherwise provided in the Original Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of JR exercising its right to purchase Shares pursuant to the Original Agreement in the Investment Amount specified herein, the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and agreed is beneficial for both parties, the Company and JR agree as follows:
