4.02     The cost of any workers' compensation coverage shall be borne by the Consultant.

ARTICLE V

INDEMNIFICATION

5.01     THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY EACH AGREE TO INDEMNIFY AND SAVE HARMLESS THE OTHER PARTY HERETO AND INCLUDING, WHERE APPLICABLE, THEIR RESPECTIVE SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES AND EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EXECUTIVES AND AGENTS (EACH SUCH PARTY BEING AN "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LOSSES, CLAIMS, ACTIONS, SUITS, PROCEEDINGS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES OR EXPENSES OF WHATEVER NATURE OR KIND AND INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY INVESTIGATION EXPENSES INCURRED BY ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY, TO WHICH AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY MAY BECOME SUBJECT BY REASON OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND ANY CIRCUMSTANCE INVOLVING INJURY TO AN INDEMNITOR (AS HEREINAFTER DEFINED) OR ITS RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES AND SUBSIDIARIES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVES, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS.

5.02     This indemnity will not apply in respect of an Indemnified Party in the event and to the extent that a Court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment shall determine that the Indemnified Party was grossly negligent or guilty of willful misconduct.

5.03     In case any action is brought against an Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought against either of the Parties hereto (in each such case the Party then being the "Indemnitor" herein), the Indemnified Party will give both Parties hereto prompt written notice of any such action of which the Indemnified Party has knowledge and the Indemnitor will undertake the investigation and defense thereof on behalf of the Indemnified Party, including the prompt employment of counsel acceptable to the Indemnified Party affected and the Indemnitor and the payment of all expenses.  Failure by the Indemnified Party to so notify shall not relieve the Indemnitor of the Indemnitor's obligation of indemnification hereunder unless (and only to the extent that) such failure results in a forfeiture by the Indemnitor of substantive rights or defenses.




5.04     No admission of liability and no settlement of any action shall be made without the consent of each of the Parties hereto and the consent of the Indemnified Party affected, such consent not to be unreasonable withheld.

5.05     Notwithstanding that the Indemnitor will undertake the investigation and defense of any action, an Indemnified Party will have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel will be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless:
(a)       such counsel has been authorized by the Indemnitor;

(b)       the Indemnitor has not assumed the defense of the action within a reasonable period of time after receiving notice of the action;

(c)       the named parties to any such action include that any Party hereto and the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be a conflict of interest between any Party hereto and the Indemnified Party; or

(d)       there are one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are different from or in addition to those available to any Party hereto.



5.06     If for any reason other than the negligence of the Indemnified Party being the primary cause of the loss claim, damage, liability, cost or expense, the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to the Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold them harmless, the Indemnitor shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of any and all such losses, claim, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Indemnitor on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other, but also the relative fault of the Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party and other equitable considerations which may be relevant.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitor shall in any event contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party, as a result of the loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expense (other than a loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expenses, the primary cause of which is the gross negligence or bad faith of the Indemnified Party), any excess of such amount over the amount of the fees actually received by the Indemnified Party hereunder.

ARTICLE VI

ACCOUNTS AND EXPENSES

6.01     The Consultant shall, within 20 calendar days after the end of each month during which the Work is performed, provide the Company with a statement of account for the Work performed during such month; such statement to be reasonably detailed and supported by receipts and vouchers for any out-of-pocket and other reasonable expenses incurred and materials supplied by the Consultant under this Agreement during the period to which such statement relates.  The Company will reimburse the Consultant for reasonable travel expenses, including mileage reimbursement as allowed by the Internal Revenue Service, car rentals, airfare, food and lodging and sundry expenses and all other reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with the provision of the Work hereunder.




6.02     The Company shall, within 15 calendar days of receipt at a above office of the Company of each itemized statement of account furnished by the Consultant, and provided that the Company does not in good faith dispute the statement of account, pay the Consultant all fees, costs and charges on disbursements shown in such itemized statement of account.

6.03     The Consultant acknowledges and agrees that in performing the Work hereunder he is operating as an independent contractor, not an employee or agent of the Company, and shall not act or hold himself out to be an agent of the Company and shall not bind the Company to any agreement or transaction unless so authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company, and, as such, the Company will make no deduction from monies paid for Work performed (including any retainer fee, if applicable) for any government statutory taxation plan including income tax, government pension plan and unemployment insurance premiums, such that the Consultant is solely responsible for reporting and remitting any monies owing directly to any government as and when required.

ARTICLE VII

TERMINATION

This Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of:
(a)       two years from the Effective Date; provided, however, that the Company's obligations under Section 1.04B herein shall survive such termination for a period of ten years from the Effective Date; and

(b)       the date on which the Company received the TCEQ Clearance; provided, however, that such termination shall not terminate the Company's obligations under Section 1.04B herein.



ARTICLE VIII

ASSIGNMENT

The Consultant shall not assign any of his rights or obligations under this Agreement.  The Company shall have the right to assign this Agreement to any parent or subsidiary of the Company, or to any wholly owned subsidiary of Company, without the consent of the Consultant, provided that the obligations under Section 1.04 herein are non-transferrable.

ARTICLE X

CONFIDENTIALITY, PROPERTY, NON-COMPETITION AND NON-CIRCUMVENTION

10.01   Each Party will not, except as authorized or required by its respective duties and obligations hereunder, reveal or divulge to any person, company or entity any information concerning the respective organization, business, finances, transactions or other affairs of the other Party hereto, or of any of the other Party's respective subsidiaries, which may come to the Party's knowledge during the continuance of this Agreement, and each Party will keep in complete secrecy all confidential information entrusted to the Party and will not use or attempt to use any such information in any manner which may injure or cause loss either directly or indirectly to the other Party's respective business interests.   This restriction will continue to apply after the termination of this Agreement without limit in point of time but will cease to apply to information or knowledge which may come into the public domain.

10.02   Owing to the fact that the Consultant will receive confidential information respecting the Company and its business during the continuance of this Agreement, the Consultant shall take all reasonable precautions to ensure that he and his employees, agents, subcontractors and representatives keep confidential any information concerning the Company and the Work carried out under this Agreement, including information purchased by the Company from EEI and information disclosed to the Consultant by the Company or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Consultant shall instruct his employees, agents, subcontractors and representatives to mark as confidential any and all information relating to the Work or the Company's business and programs with respect thereto.  The Consultant shall prohibit access by any other persons to the information in the absence of written permission for such access by the Company.

10.03   The Consultant hereby acknowledges and agrees that any and all Company business interests, together with any products or improvements derived therefrom and any trade marks or trade names used in connection with the same (collectively, the "Property"), are wholly owned and controlled by the Company.  Correspondingly, neither this Agreement, nor the operation of the business contemplated by this Agreement, confers or shall be deemed to confer upon the Consultant any interest whatsoever in and to any of the Property.  In this regard the Consultant hereby further covenants and agrees not to, during or after the continuance of this Agreement, contest the title to any of the Property interests, in any way dispute or impugn the validity of the Property interests or take any action to the detriment of the Company's interests therein.  The Consultant acknowledges that, by reason of the unique nature of the Property interests, and by reason of the Consultant's knowledge of and association with the Property interests during the continuance of this Agreement, the aforesaid covenant is reasonable and commensurate for the protection of the legitimate business interests of the Company.  As a final note, the Consultant hereby further covenants and agrees to immediately notify the Company of any infringement of or challenge to the any of the Property interests as soon as the Consultant becomes aware of the infringement or challenge.  In addition, and for even greater certainty, the Consultant hereby assigns to the Company the entire right, title and interest throughout the world in and to all work performed, writings, formulas, designs, models, drawings, photographs, design inventions, and other inventions, made, conceived, or reduced to practice or authored by the Consultant or the Consultant's employees, either solely or jointly with others, during the performance of this Agreement, or which are made, conceived, or reduced to practice, or authored with the use of information or materials of the Company either received or used by the Consultant during the performance of this Agreement or any extension or renewal thereof.  The Consultant shall promptly disclose to the Company all works, writings, formulas, designs, models, photographs, drawings, design inventions and other inventions made, conceived or reduced to practice, or authored by the Consultant or the Consultant's employees as set forth above.  The Consultant shall sign, execute and acknowledge, or cause to be signed, executed and acknowledged without cost to Company or its nominees, patent, trademark or copyright protection throughout the world upon all such works, writings, formulas, designs, models, drawings, photographs, design inventions and other inventions; title to which the Company acquires in accordance with the provisions of this section.  The Consultant has acquired or shall acquire from each of the Consultant's employees, if any, the necessary rights to all such works, writings, formulas, designs, models, drawings, photographs, design inventions and other inventions made by such employees within the scope of their employment by the Consultant in performing the Work under this Agreement.  The Work performed and the information produced under this Agreement are works made for hire as defined in 17 U.S.C. §  101.




10.04   During the continuance of this Agreement, and for a period of at least six months following the termination of this Agreement, the Consultant shall not engage in any uranium exploration or development business or activity whatsoever in the State of Texas which reasonably may be determined by the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, to compete with any portion of the Company's various current uranium exploration or development business interests in the State of Texas as contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of the Company.  Furthermore, each of the Parties hereby acknowledges and agrees, for a period of at least six months following the termination of this Agreement, not to initiate any contact or communication directly with either of the other Party or any of its respective subsidiaries, as the case may be, together with each of the other Party's respective directors, officers, representatives, agents or employees, without the prior written consent of the other Party hereto and, notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, further acknowledges and agrees, even with the prior written consent of the other Party to such contact or communication, to limit such contact or communication to discussions outside the scope of any confidential information (as hereinafter determined).  For the purposes of the foregoing the Parties hereby recognize and agree that a breach a Party of any of the covenants herein contained would result in irreparable harm and significant damage to the other Party that would not be adequately compensated for by monetary award.  Accordingly, each of the Parties agrees that, in the event of any such breach, in addition to being entitled as a matter of right to apply to a Court of competent equitable jurisdiction for relief by way of restraining order, injunction, decree or otherwise as may be appropriate to ensure compliance with the provisions hereof, a Party will also be liable to the other Party hereto, without in any manner limiting that Party's right to any equitable relief, as liquidated damages, for an amount equal to the amount received and earned by that Party as a result of and with respect to any such breach.  The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that if any of the aforesaid restrictions, activities, obligations or periods are considered by a Court of competent jurisdiction as being unreasonable, the Parties agree that said Court shall have authority to limit such restrictions, activities or periods as the Court deems proper in the circumstances.   In addition, the Parties further acknowledge and agree that all restrictions or obligations in this Agreement are necessary and fundamental to the protection of their respective business interests and are reasonable and valid, and all defenses to the strict enforcement thereof by the Parties are hereby waived.

4.02   The cost of any workers' compensation coverage shall be borne by the Consultant.

ARTICLE V

INDEMNIFICATION

5.01   THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY EACH AGREE TO INDEMNIFY AND SAVE HARMLESS THE OTHER PARTY HERETO AND INCLUDING, WHERE APPLICABLE, THEIR RESPECTIVE SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES AND EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EXECUTIVES AND AGENTS (EACH SUCH PARTY BEING AN "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LOSSES, CLAIMS, ACTIONS, SUITS, PROCEEDINGS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES OR EXPENSES OF WHATEVER NATURE OR KIND AND INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY INVESTIGATION EXPENSES INCURRED BY ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY, TO WHICH AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY MAY BECOME SUBJECT BY REASON OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND ANY CIRCUMSTANCE INVOLVING INJURY TO AN INDEMNITOR (AS HEREINAFTER DEFINED) OR ITS RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES AND SUBSIDIARIES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVES, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS.

5.02   This indemnity will not apply in respect of an Indemnified Party in the event and to the extent that a Court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment shall determine that the Indemnified Party was grossly negligent or guilty of willful misconduct.

5.03   In case any action is brought against an Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought against either of the Parties hereto (in each such case the Party then being the "Indemnitor" herein), the Indemnified Party will give both Parties hereto prompt written notice of any such action of which the Indemnified Party has knowledge and the Indemnitor will undertake the investigation and defense thereof on behalf of the Indemnified Party, including the prompt employment of counsel acceptable to the Indemnified Party affected and the Indemnitor and the payment of all expenses.  Failure by the Indemnified Party to so notify shall not relieve the Indemnitor of the Indemnitor's obligation of indemnification hereunder unless (and only to the extent that) such failure results in a forfeiture by the Indemnitor of substantive rights or defenses.




5.04   No admission of liability and no settlement of any action shall be made without the consent of each of the Parties hereto and the consent of the Indemnified Party affected, such consent not to be unreasonable withheld.

5.05   Notwithstanding that the Indemnitor will undertake the investigation and defense of any action, an Indemnified Party will have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel will be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless:
(a)       such counsel has been authorized by the Indemnitor;

(b)       the Indemnitor has not assumed the defense of the action within a reasonable period of time after receiving notice of the action;

(c)       the named parties to any such action include that any Party hereto and the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be a conflict of interest between any Party hereto and the Indemnified Party; or

(d)       there are one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are different from or in addition to those available to any Party hereto.



5.06   If for any reason other than the negligence of the Indemnified Party being the primary cause of the loss claim, damage, liability, cost or expense, the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to the Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold them harmless, the Indemnitor shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of any and all such losses, claim, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Indemnitor on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other, but also the relative fault of the Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party and other equitable considerations which may be relevant.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitor shall in any event contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party, as a result of the loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expense (other than a loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expenses, the primary cause of which is the gross negligence or bad faith of the Indemnified Party), any excess of such amount over the amount of the fees actually received by the Indemnified Party hereunder.

ARTICLE VI

ACCOUNTS AND EXPENSES

6.01   The Consultant shall, within 20 calendar days after the end of each month during which the Work is performed, provide the Company with a statement of account for the Work performed during such month; such statement to be reasonably detailed and supported by receipts and vouchers for any out-of-pocket and other reasonable expenses incurred and materials supplied by the Consultant under this Agreement during the period to which such statement relates.  The Company will reimburse the Consultant for reasonable travel expenses, including mileage reimbursement as allowed by the Internal Revenue Service, car rentals, airfare, food and lodging and sundry expenses and all other reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with the provision of the Work hereunder.




6.02   The Company shall, within 15 calendar days of receipt at a above office of the Company of each itemized statement of account furnished by the Consultant, and provided that the Company does not in good faith dispute the statement of account, pay the Consultant all fees, costs and charges on disbursements shown in such itemized statement of account.

6.03   The Consultant acknowledges and agrees that in performing the Work hereunder he is operating as an independent contractor, not an employee or agent of the Company, and shall not act or hold himself out to be an agent of the Company and shall not bind the Company to any agreement or transaction unless so authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company, and, as such, the Company will make no deduction from monies paid for Work performed (including any retainer fee, if applicable) for any government statutory taxation plan including income tax, government pension plan and unemployment insurance premiums, such that the Consultant is solely responsible for reporting and remitting any monies owing directly to any government as and when required.

ARTICLE VII

TERMINATION

This Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of:
(a)       two years from the Effective Date; provided, however, that the Company's obligations under Section 1.04B herein shall survive such termination for a period of ten years from the Effective Date; and

(b)       the date on which the Company received the TCEQ Clearance; provided, however, that such termination shall not terminate the Company's obligations under Section 1.04B herein.



ARTICLE VIII

ASSIGNMENT

The Consultant shall not assign any of his rights or obligations under this Agreement.

10.01  Each Party will not, except as authorized or required by its respective duties and obligations hereunder, reveal or divulge to any person, company or entity any information concerning the respective organization, business, finances, transactions or other affairs of the other Party hereto, or of any of the other Party's respective subsidiaries, which may come to the Party's knowledge during the continuance of this Agreement, and each Party will keep in complete secrecy all confidential information entrusted to the Party and will not use or attempt to use any such information in any manner which may injure or cause loss either directly or indirectly to the other Party's respective business interests.   This restriction will continue to apply after the termination of this Agreement without limit in point of time but will cease to apply to information or knowledge which may come into the public domain.

10.02  Owing to the fact that the Consultant will receive confidential information respecting the Company and its business during the continuance of this Agreement, the Consultant shall take all reasonable precautions to ensure that he and his employees, agents, subcontractors and representatives keep confidential any information concerning the Company and the Work carried out under this Agreement, including information purchased by the Company from EEI and information disclosed to the Consultant by the Company or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Consultant shall instruct his employees, agents, subcontractors and representatives to mark as confidential any and all information relating to the Work or the Company's business and programs with respect thereto.  The Consultant shall prohibit access by any other persons to the information in the absence of written permission for such access by the Company.

10.03  The Consultant hereby acknowledges and agrees that any and all Company business interests, together with any products or improvements derived therefrom and any trade marks or trade names used in connection with the same (collectively, the "Property"), are wholly owned and controlled by the Company.  Correspondingly, neither this Agreement, nor the operation of the business contemplated by this Agreement, confers or shall be deemed to confer upon the Consultant any interest whatsoever in and to any of the Property.  In this regard the Consultant hereby further covenants and agrees not to, during or after the continuance of this Agreement, contest the title to any of the Property interests, in any way dispute or impugn the validity of the Property interests or take any action to the detriment of the Company's interests therein.  The Consultant acknowledges that, by reason of the unique nature of the Property interests, and by reason of the Consultant's knowledge of and association with the Property interests during the continuance of this Agreement, the aforesaid covenant is reasonable and commensurate for the protection of the legitimate business interests of the Company.  As a final note, the Consultant hereby further covenants and agrees to immediately notify the Company of any infringement of or challenge to the any of the Property interests as soon as the Consultant becomes aware of the infringement or challenge.  In addition, and for even greater certainty, the Consultant hereby assigns to the Company the entire right, title and interest throughout the world in and to all work performed, writings, formulas, designs, models, drawings, photographs, design inventions, and other inventions, made, conceived, or reduced to practice or authored by the Consultant or the Consultant's employees, either solely or jointly with others, during the performance of this Agreement, or which are made, conceived, or reduced to practice, or authored with the use of information or materials of the Company either received or used by the Consultant during the performance of this Agreement or any extension or renewal thereof.  The Consultant shall promptly disclose to the Company all works, writings, formulas, designs, models, photographs, drawings, design inventions and other inventions made, conceived or reduced to practice, or authored by the Consultant or the Consultant's employees as set forth above.  The Consultant shall sign, execute and acknowledge, or cause to be signed, executed and acknowledged without cost to Company or its nominees, patent, trademark or copyright protection throughout the world upon all such works, writings, formulas, designs, models, drawings, photographs, design inventions and other inventions; title to which the Company acquires in accordance with the provisions of this section.  The Consultant has acquired or shall acquire from each of the Consultant's employees, if any, the necessary rights to all such works, writings, formulas, designs, models, drawings, photographs, design inventions and other inventions made by such employees within the scope of their employment by the Consultant in performing the Work under this Agreement.  The Work performed and the information produced under this Agreement are works made for hire as defined in 17 U.S.C. §  101.




10.04  During the continuance of this Agreement, and for a period of at least six months following the termination of this Agreement, the Consultant shall not engage in any uranium exploration or development business or activity whatsoever in the State of Texas which reasonably may be determined by the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, to compete with any portion of the Company's various current uranium exploration or development business interests in the State of Texas as contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of the Company.  Furthermore, each of the Parties hereby acknowledges and agrees, for a period of at least six months following the termination of this Agreement, not to initiate any contact or communication directly with either of the other Party or any of its respective subsidiaries, as the case may be, together with each of the other Party's respective directors, officers, representatives, agents or employees, without the prior written consent of the other Party hereto and, notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, further acknowledges and agrees, even with the prior written consent of the other Party to such contact or communication, to limit such contact or communication to discussions outside the scope of any confidential information (as hereinafter determined).  For the purposes of the foregoing the Parties hereby recognize and agree that a breach a Party of any of the covenants herein contained would result in irreparable harm and significant damage to the other Party that would not be adequately compensated for by monetary award.  Accordingly, each of the Parties agrees that, in the event of any such breach, in addition to being entitled as a matter of right to apply to a Court of competent equitable jurisdiction for relief by way of restraining order, injunction, decree or otherwise as may be appropriate to ensure compliance with the provisions hereof, a Party will also be liable to the other Party hereto, without in any manner limiting that Party's right to any equitable relief, as liquidated damages, for an amount equal to the amount received and earned by that Party as a result of and with respect to any such breach.  The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that if any of the aforesaid restrictions, activities, obligations or periods are considered by a Court of competent jurisdiction as being unreasonable, the Parties agree that said Court shall have authority to limit such restrictions, activities or periods as the Court deems proper in the circumstances.   In addition, the Parties further acknowledge and agree that all restrictions or obligations in this Agreement are necessary and fundamental to the protection of their respective business interests and are reasonable and valid, and all defenses to the strict enforcement thereof by the Parties are hereby waived.
