BUYER TRUST DEED
NOTE #___ 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Tonaquint, Inc., a Utah corporation
(the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to Silver Dragon
Resources Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Lender,” and together
with the Borrower, the “Parties”), the principal sum of
$200,000.00 together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, fees incurred
or other amounts owing hereunder, all as set forth below in this Buyer Trust
Deed Note #___ (this “Note”). This Note is issued pursuant to that
certain Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement of even date herewith, entered into
by and between the Borrower and the Lender (the “Purchase
Agreement”), pursuant to which the Lender issued to the Borrower that
certain Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the amount of $2,766,500.00 (the
“Lender Note”) and a warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s
Common Stock (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). All terms used herein but
not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Purchase
Agreement. 

1. Principal and Interest. Interest shall accrue on the
unpaid principal balance and any unpaid late fees or other fees under this Note
at a rate of 5.0% per annum until the full amount of the principal and fees has
been paid. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, in no event
shall the applicable interest rate at any time exceed the maximum interest rate
allowed under applicable law, as provided in Section 12 below. The entire unpaid
principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be due and
payable on or before the earlier of (i) forty-nine (49) months from the date
hereof, or (ii) so long as the Conversion Shares (as defined in the Lender Note)
are then freely saleable under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, the later of (A) the date on which the Outstanding Balance (as
defined in the Lender Note) owed by the Lender under the Lender Note is equal to
or less than $____________, and (B) ___________________(the “Maturity
Date”). 

2. Payment. Unless prepaid, all principal and
accrued interest under this Note is payable in one lump sum on the Maturity
Date. All payments of interest and principal shall be (i) in lawful money of the
United States of America, and (ii) in the form of immediately available funds.
All payments shall be applied first to costs of collection, if any, then to
accrued and unpaid interest, and thereafter to principal. Payment of principal
and interest hereunder shall be delivered to the Lender at the address furnished
to the Borrower for that purpose.

3. Prepayment by the Borrower. The Borrower may, in his
sole and absolute discretion, pay, without penalty, all or any portion of the
outstanding balance along with any accrued but unpaid interest on this Note at
any time prior to the Maturity Date.

4. Security. The payment of this Note is secured by that
certain Trust Deed (the “Trust Deed”) of even date herewith
executed by the Borrower, as Trustor, in favor of the
Lender, as Beneficiary, encumbering certain real property of the Borrower, as more specifically set forth in the Trust Deed, all the terms and conditions of which are hereby incorporated and made a part of this Note. The Lender covenants and agrees
to release the Trust Deed pursuant to the terms of Section 5 below.









5. Release. The Lender covenants and agrees that simultaneous with the receipt of this Note, duly executed by the Borrower, it shall execute and deliver a Request for Full Reconveyance substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A (the “Request”), which will request that the trustee under the Trust Deed release the Trust Deed upon satisfaction of the conditions for release of the Trust Deed set forth in the Escrow Agreement
(as defined in the Purchase Agreement). An escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), mutually satisfactory to the Borrower and the Lender, shall hold the Request in escrow, subject to the condition that the Escrow Agent may not
record the a deed of reconveyance until all of the conditions for release of the Trust Deed set forth in the Escrow Agreement have been satisfied. In accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement and the Request, a deed of reconveyance shall be
recorded (and thereby the Trust Deed reconveyed) the earlier of (i) the first date on which the Buyer Notes (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) are repaid in full, or (ii) six months and three days following the date the Trust Deed is recorded
(or such longer period as indicated in a written notice from the Borrower) (the “Release Date”). For avoidance of doubt, after the Release Date, there shall be no collateral securing this Note. 


6. Right of Offset. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, in the event of (i) the occurrence of any Event of Default (as defined in the Lender Note) under the Lender Note or any other note
issued by Lender in connection with the Purchase Agreement, or (ii) a breach of any material term, condition, representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of the Lender under any Transaction Document, the Borrower shall be entitled to deduct and
offset any amount owing by the Lender under the Lender Note from any amount owed by the Borrower under this Note.  In the event that the Borrower’s exercise of its offset rights under this Section 6 results in the full satisfaction of the
Borrower’s obligations under this Note, then the Lender shall return this Note to the Borrower for cancellation or, in the event this Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost note affidavit in a form reasonably acceptable to the
Borrower. 


7. Default. If any of the events specified below shall occur (each, an “Event of Default”) the Lender may declare the unpaid principal balance together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, fees incurred or
other amounts owing hereunder immediately due and payable, by notice in writing to the Borrower. If any default, other than a Payment Default (as defined below), is curable, then the default may be cured (and no Event of Default will have occurred)
if the Borrower, after receiving written notice from the Lender demanding cure of such default, either (a) cures the default within fifteen (15) days, or (b) if the cure requires more than fifteen (15) days, immediately initiates steps that the
Lender deems in the Lender’s reasonable discretion to be sufficient to cure the default and thereafter diligently continues and completes all reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical. Each
of the following events shall constitute an Event of Default:


(a) Failure to Pay. The Borrower’s failure to make any payment when due and payable under the terms of this Note (a “Payment Default”); 


 2











(b) Breaches of Covenants. The Borrower shall fail to observe or perform any other covenant, obligation, condition or agreement contained in this Note; 


(c) Representations and Warranties. Any representation, warranty, certificate, or other statement (financial or otherwise) made or furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Lender in writing in connection with this Note, or as an
inducement to the Lender to enter into the Purchase Agreement, shall be false, incorrect, incomplete or misleading in any material respect when made or furnished; and 


(d) Involuntary Bankruptcy. If any involuntary petition is filed under any bankruptcy or similar law or rule against the Borrower, and such petition is not dismissed within 60 days, or a receiver, trustee, liquidator, assignee, custodian,

8. Binding Effect; Assignment. This Note shall be binding on the Parties and their respective heirs, successors, and assigns; provided, however, that the Lender shall not assign any of its rights hereunder without the prior
written consent of the Borrower. 


9. Governing Law; Venue. The terms of this Note shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah as applied to contracts entered into by Utah residents within the State of Utah which contracts are to be performed entirely

10. Compliance with Applicable Law. The Borrower agrees that the obligations evidenced by this Note constitute an exempted transaction under the Truth-In-Lending Act, 15 U.S.C. Section 1601, et seq. and such obligations constitute a business

or any portion of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note or by any extension or renewal hereof (“Excess Interest”). If any Excess Interest is provided for, or is adjudicated to be provided for, in this Note or the other

(d) the applicable interest rate or rates shall be automatically subject to reduction to the maximum lawful rate allowed to be contracted for in writing under the applicable governing usury laws, and this Note and the Transaction Documents shall be
deemed to have been, and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such reduction in such interest rate or rates; and

otherwise affect the meanings thereof. 


15. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with this Note. 


16. Severability. If any part of this Note is construed to be in violation of any law, such part shall be modified to achieve the objective of the Parties to the fullest extent permitted by law and the balance of this Note shall remain in
full force and effect.

enforcement or collection actions. 


18.  Amendments and Waivers; Remedies. No failure or delay on the part of a Party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power
or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies provided for herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies that may be
available to a Party hereto at law, in equity or otherwise. Any amendment, supplement or modification of or to any provision of this Note, any waiver of any provision of this Note, and any consent to any departure by either Party from the terms of
