Within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, commencing with the year in which Commencement of Commercial Production occurs, the accounts of Crosshair relating to operations on the Property and the statement of operations, which shall include the statement of calculation of Royalty for the year last completed, shall be audited by the auditors of Crosshair at its expense.  The Optionor shall have 45 days after receipt of such statements by him to question the accuracy thereof in writing and, failing such objection, the statements shall be deemed to be correct and unimpeachable thereafter.

11. 

Surrender of Property Interests Prior to Exercise of the Option




Crosshair may at any time during the Option Period elect to abandon any one or more of the mineral claims comprised in the Property by giving notice to the Optionor of such intention.  Any claims so abandoned shall be in good standing for the remainder of the current assessment year under the laws of the jurisdiction in which they are situate.  Upon any such abandonment, the mineral claims so abandoned shall for all purposes of this Agreement cease to form part of the Property and, if title to such claims has been transferred to Crosshair, Crosshair shall retransfer such title to the Optionor at Crosshair’s expense within 30 days.

12.  

Surrender of Property Interests After Exercise of the Option




Crosshair may at any time after Year 5 and before the Commencement of Commercial Production abandon any one or more of the mineral claims in the Property by giving notice to the Optionor of such intention and completing a transfer back to the Optionor of the abandoned claims, in good standing for the current assessment year, and agree not to re-stake or re-acquire these claims, or the re-staked or re-acquired claims shall again become subject to the terms of this Agreement. This clause shall survive expiry and termination of this Agreement. 




Upon any such abandonment, the mineral claims so abandoned shall for all purposes of this Agreement cease to form part of the Property.

(c)  

After the Commencement of Commercial Production, Crosshair shall work, mine and operate the Property during such time or times as Crosshair in its sole judgment considers such operations to be profitable.  Crosshair may suspend or curtail operations, both before and after Commencement of Commercial Production, during periods when the products derived from the Property cannot be profitably sold at prevailing prices or if an unreasonable inventory thereof, in Crosshair’s sole judgment, has accumulated or would otherwise accumulate.

14.  

Default

If at any time during the Option Period Crosshair is in default of any provision in this Agreement, the Optionor may terminate this Agreement, but only if it shall have first given to Crosshair a notice of default containing particulars of the obligation which Crosshair has not performed, or the warranty breached and Crosshair has not, within 45 days following delivery of such notice, cured such default by appropriate payment or performance.

i)

on the basis of the actual gross proceeds of disposition of such Yellow Cake; and
