**Item 2 Date of Material Change**

September 4, 2025

**Item 3 News Release**

("**Elemental Altus**" and together with EMX, the "**Companies**") on September 4, 2025 through Globe Newswire and subsequently filed under the respective profiles of EMX and Elemental Altus on SEDAR+ at <u>www.sedarplus.ca</u>.

**Item 4 Summary of Material Change**

Immediately following the completion of the Transaction, the EMX Shares will be delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange ("**TSX-V**") and the NYSE American Exchange ("**NYSE American**").

**Item 5 Full Description of Material Change**

**5.1 Full Description of Material Change**

On September 4, 2025, EMX and Elemental Altus jointly announced that the Companies entered into the Arrangement Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, Elemental Altus will acquire all of the issued and outstanding EMX Shares pursuant to the Transaction.

Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, EMX shareholders will receive (a) 0.2822 common shares of Elemental Altus (each whole share, an "**Elemental Altus Share**") for each EMX Share held immediately prior to the effective time of the Transaction (the "**Effective Time**") if the Consolidation (as defined below) is completed prior to the Effective Time; or (b) 2.822 Elemental Altus Shares for each EMX Share, if the Consolidation is not completed prior to the Effective Time (the "**Consideration**").

Concurrent with the Transaction, Elemental Altus will complete the previously-approved consolidation of all of the issued and outstanding Elemental Altus Shares at a ratio of one (1) post-consolidation Elemental Altus Share for every 10 pre-consolidation Elemental Altus Shares (the "**Consolidation**"). Also concurrent with the Transaction, Tether Investments S.A. de C.V. ("**Tether**") and Elemental Altus entered into a subscription agreement dated September 4, 2025 (the "**Tether Subscription Agreement**") pursuant to which, among other things, Tether has agreed to purchase approximately 75 million Elemental Altus Shares at a price of C$1.84 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately US$100<sup>1</sup> million (the "**Tether Concurrent Financing**").

------

Upon completion of the Transaction, including the Tether Concurrent Financing, existing Elemental Altus shareholders and former EMX shareholders will own approximately 51% and 49% of the outstanding common shares of the Merged Company, respectively, on a basic basis. The implied market capitalization of Merged Company is estimated at US$933 million.

Upon completion of the Transaction, the combined company (the "**Merged Company**") will be renamed "Elemental Royalty Corp." The Board of Directors of the Merged Company will be comprised of three representatives from Elemental Altus and two representatives from EMX. Juan Sartori will continue as Executive Chairman and David Cole will serve as CEO of the Merged Company, while Frederick Bell will assume the role of President and COO of the Merged Company.

*<u>Transaction Details</u>*

The Transaction will be effected by way of a court approved plan of arrangement under the *Business Corporations Act* (British Columbia). The Transaction will require approval by at least (i) 66 2/3% of the votes cast by shareholders of EMX at a special meeting of securityholders of EMX (the "**EMX Special Meeting**"); (ii) 66 2/3% of the votes cast by all shareholders and optionholders of EMX at the EMX Special Meeting, voting together as a single class; and (iii) if, and to the extent, required under applicable Canadian securities laws, a majority of the votes cast by shareholders of EMX at a the EMX Special Meeting, excluding the votes attached to EMX Shares held by persons required to be excluded pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - *Protection of Minority Security Holder in Special Transactions* ("**MI 61- 101**").

In addition to the approval of the EMX securityholders, completion of the Transaction is subject to the approval of the Elemental Altus shareholders for the Tether Concurrent Financing under securities laws and Tether as a "control person" under TSX-V policies (in both cases excluding the votes held by Tether), as well as TSX-V, regulatory and court approvals and other customary closing conditions for transactions of this nature. Further, the completion of the Transaction is subject to the conditional approval of the listing of the Elemental Altus Shares on a US stock exchange and the completion of the Tether Concurrent Financing. Any such US listing of the Elemental Altus Shares on a US stock exchange is subject to the Merged Company meeting the quantitative and qualitative requirements to list on a US stock exchange.

The Arrangement Agreement includes customary deal protection provisions, including reciprocal non- solicitation and right to match provisions, and an approximately C$15.8 million termination fee, payable under certain circumstances.

Certain officers and directors and shareholders of Elemental Altus, who hold an aggregate of approximately 40% of the outstanding Elemental Altus Shares, have entered into voting support agreements pursuant to which they have agreed, among other things, to support the Transaction and vote their Elemental Altus Shares in favour of the Elemental Altus Resolutions (as defined below). Certain officers and directors and shareholders of EMX, who hold an aggregate of approximately 23% of the outstanding EMX Shares have entered into voting support agreements pursuant to which they have agreed, among other things, to support the Transaction and vote their EMX Shares in favour of the Transaction.

Subject to receiving the requisite court, regulatory and securityholder approvals, the Transaction and the Tether Concurrent Financing are expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025. In connection with and subject to closing of the Transaction and the Tether Concurrent Financing, it is expected that the EMX Shares will be delisted from the TSX-V and NYSE American, and that EMX will cease to be a reporting issuer under Canadian and U.S. securities laws.

<sup>1</sup> Converted to US$ at the exchange rate of C$1.00 = US$0.7231, being the indicative exchange rate for Canadian dollars in terms of the United States dollar, as quoted by the Bank of Canada on September 4, 2025.

------

None of the securities to be issued pursuant to the Transaction have been or will be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "**U.S. Securities Act**"), or any state securities laws, and any securities issuable in the Transaction are anticipated to be issued in reliance upon available exemptions from such registration requirements pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the U.S. Securities Act or other available exemptions and applicable exemptions under state securities laws. *This material change report does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities.*

The full details of the Transaction will be described in the Companies' respective management information circulars to be prepared in accordance with applicable securities legislation and made available in connection with the special meetings. A copy of the Arrangement Agreement is available on the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

*<u>EMX and Elemental Altus Board of Directors' Recommendations</u>*

The board of directors of Elemental Altus has unanimously approved the Transaction and (subject to the abstention of any conflicted director) the Tether Concurrent Financing and recommended that the shareholders of Elemental Altus vote in favour of the Elemental Altus Resolutions.

GenCap Mining Advisory Ltd. has provided a fairness opinion to the Elemental Altus board of directors, stating that, as of the date of such opinion, and based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations, and qualifications stated in such opinion, the Consideration to be paid is fair, from a financial point of view, to Elemental Altus shareholders, excluding Tether.

The board of directors of EMX (subject to the abstentions conflicted directors) and a special committee comprised solely of independent directors of EMX (the "**EMX Special Committee**") have each unanimously determined that the Transaction is in the best interests of EMX and have approved the Transaction and recommended that the shareholders of EMX vote in favour of the Transaction. Each of Mr. Michael Winn, the Executive Chairman of the Company and Mr. Davie Cole, the Chief Executive Officer and a directors of the Company, declared a "disclosable interest" and abstained from voting with respect to the Transaction.

CIBC World Markets Inc. has provided a fairness opinion to the EMX board of directors, stating that, as of the date of such opinion, and based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications stated in such opinion, the Consideration under the Transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders of EMX.

Haywood Securities Inc. has provided a fairness opinion to the EMX Special Committee, stating that, as of the date of such opinion, and based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications stated in such opinion, the Consideration to be received is fair, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders of EMX.

*<u>Tether Concurrent Financing</u>*

Concurrent with entering into the Arrangement Agreement, Elemental Altus entered into the Tether Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, Elemental Altus and Tether have agreed to complete the Tether Concurrent Financing. Proceeds from the Tether Concurrent Financing will be used to repay EMX's credit facility, fund royalty acquisitions (including to pay the purchase price for Elemental Altus' two recently announced royalty acquisitions, or to repay its credit facility to the extent drawn for that purpose) and provide capital for the Merged Company so that it is fully unlevered post-completion.

Tether is an insider and control person of Elemental Altus, and-therefore the Tether Concurrent Financing constitutes a related party transaction as defined under MI 61 101. The shareholders of Elemental Altus must approve each of (a) the Tether Concurrent Financing pursuant to the requirements of MI 61-101 (the "**Elemental Altus Financing Resolution**"), (b) Tether as a "Control Person" of Elemental Altus pursuant to policies of the TSX-V (the "**Elemental Altus Control Person Resolution**"); and (c) the change of Elemental Altus' name to Elemental Royalty Corp. (the "**Elemental Altus Name Change Resolution**" and collectively, the "**Elemental Altus Resolutions**").

------

The Elemental Altus Financing Resolution will require the approval of at least a simple majority of the votes cast at a special meeting of shareholders of Elemental Altus (the "**Elemental Altus Special Meeting**"), excluding the votes attached to Elemental Altus Shares held by Tether and any other persons required to be excluded pursuant to MI 61-101. The Elemental Altus Control Person Resolution will require the approval of at least a simple majority of the votes cast at the Elemental Altus Special Meeting, excluding votes attached to Elemental Altus Shares held by the Tether and its associates and affiliates. Elemental Altus determined that the formal valuation requirement under MI 61-101 does not apply to the Tether Concurrent Financing in reliance on the exemption therefrom contained at section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101.

The Tether Concurrent Financing is conditional on the approval of the Transaction at the EMX Special Meeting. The Tether Concurrent Financing is also subject to approval of the TSX-V. The Tether Concurrent Financing will close concurrently with the closing of the Transaction, and such concurrent closing is a condition to the completion of closing the Transaction.

The Elemental Altus Name Change Resolution will require the approval of at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast at the Elemental Altus Special Meeting, and is not a condition to close the Transaction.

*Certain important factors that could cause actual results, performances or achievements to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, amongst others, failure to obtain any required regulatory and securityholder approvals with respect to the Transaction and the Tether Concurrent Financing; the inability to satisfy the conditions to closing the Transaction and the Tether Concurrent Financing; the inability to satisfy the listing requirements to be listed on a US stock exchange; volatility in the price of gold or other minerals or metals, discrepancies between anticipated and actual production with respect to portfolio assets; the accuracy of the mineral reserves, mineral resources and recoveries set out in the technical data published by the owners of portfolio assets; the absence of control over mining operations from which the Companies receive royalties, and risks related to those mining operations, including risks related to international operations, government and environmental regulation, actual results of current exploration activities, conclusions of economic evaluations and changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined, activities by governmental authorities (including changes in taxation); currency fluctuations; the global economic climate; dilution; share price volatility and competition.*

------

*Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements of the Companies to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to: the impact of general business and economic conditions, the absence of control over mining operations from which the Companies will receive royalties from, and risks related to those mining operations, including risks related to international operations, government and environmental regulation, actual results of current exploration activities, conclusions of economic evaluations and changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined, risks in the marketability of minerals, fluctuations in the price of gold and other commodities, fluctuation in foreign exchange rates and interest rates, stock market volatility, as well as those factors discussed in (A) the Elemental Altus' Annual Information Form dated August 18, 2025, filed under the Elemental Altus' profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca; and (B) the EMX risk factors listed in EMX's Management's Discussion and Analysis for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and its Annual Information Form dated March 12, 2025 filed under EMX's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov. Although the Companies have attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those Companies in forward- looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Companies do not undertake to update any forward-looking statements that are contained or incorporated by reference, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.*

**2.12 U.S. Securities Law Matters**

The Parties agree that the Arrangement shall be carried out with the intention that, and will use their commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that, the issuance of the Elemental Shares to EMX Shareholders as the Consideration and the issuance of Replacement Options to holders of EMX Options pursuant to the Arrangement qualifies for the exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act under the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption and applicable U.S. state securities (Blue Sky) Laws in reliance upon exemptions under applicable U.S. state securities Laws. Each Party agrees to act in good faith, consistent with the intent of the Parties and the intended treatment of the Arrangement as set forth in this Section 2.12. In order to ensure the availability of the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption, the Parties agree that the Arrangement will be carried out on the following basis:

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the Arrangement will be subject to the approval of the Court;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Court will be advised as to the intention of the Parties to rely on the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption prior to the Court hearing required to issue the Interim Order;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the Court will be required to satisfy itself, prior to approval of the Arrangement, and will be asked to approve the substantive and procedural fairness of the Arrangement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) the Court will hold a hearing before approving the procedural and substantive fairness of the terms and conditions of the Arrangement and that its approval of the Arrangement will be relied upon as a determination that the Court has satisfied itself as to the procedural and substantive fairness of the Arrangement to all EMX Shareholders who are entitled to receive Consideration Shares and Replacement Options pursuant to the Arrangement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) the Final Order will expressly state that the Arrangement is approved by the Court as being substantively and procedurally fair to the EMX Shareholders to whom Consideration will be issued;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) the Parties will ensure that the EMX Circular is sent to EMX Shareholders and holders of EMX Options, and will provide them with (i) adequate notice advising them of their right to attend the Court hearing and providing them with sufficient information necessary for them to exercise that right, and (ii) advice that the Consideration Shares and Replacement Options issuable pursuant to the Arrangement has not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act and will be issued and delivered to the EMX Shareholders in reliance on the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption, and that certain restrictions on resale under the securities laws of the United States may be applicable with respect to securities issued to affiliates of Elemental and EMX;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) the Interim Order will specify that each Person entitled to receive Consideration and Replacement Options on completion of the Arrangement will have the right to appear before the Court at the Court hearing on the Final Order and in accordance with the requirements of the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption, so long as such Person files and serves a Response to Petition within a reasonable time in accordance with the procedures set out in the Interim Order;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) each Person entitled to receive the Elemental Shares upon exercise or conversion of Replacement Options or EMX Warrants will be advised that pursuant to the Arrangement, such Elemental Shares will not be issued by Elemental in reliance on the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption, as such exemption does not exempt the issuance of the Elemental Shares upon exercise or conversion of such Replacement Options or EMX Warrants and, as such, the underlying Elemental Shares issuable in respect of the Replacement Options or the EMX Warrants cannot be issued in the U.S. or to a person in the U.S. in reliance upon the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption and the Replacement Options and EMX Warrants may only be exercised pursuant to an effective registration statement or a then-available exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, if any; and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the Final Order will include a statement to substantially the following effect: "This Order will serve as a basis of a claim to the exemption under Section 3(a)(10) of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, from the registration requirements otherwise imposed by that act, regarding the exchange, issuance and distribution of securities of Elemental, pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement and is approved by the Court as being substantively and procedurally fair to the EMX Shareholders."

**5.5 Pre-Closing Reorganization**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Subject to Section 5.5(b), EMX agrees that, upon request of Elemental, EMX shall use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) perform such reorganizations of its corporate structure, capital structure, business, operations and assets or such other transactions as Elemental may request, acting reasonably (each a "**Pre-Closing Reorganization**"), and (ii) cooperate with Elemental and its advisors to determine the nature of the Pre-Closing Reorganizations that might be undertaken and the manner in which they would most effectively be undertaken, and (iii) cooperate with Elemental and its advisors to seek to obtain any consents, approvals, waivers or similar authorizations which are reasonably required by Elemental (based on the terms of any Contract or Authorization) in connection with the Pre-Closing Reorganizations, if any, provided that such consents, approvals, waivers or similar authorizations have been set out in the notice delivered to EMX pursuant to Section 5.5(c).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) EMX will not be obligated to participate in any Pre-Closing Reorganization under Section 5.5(a) unless EMX determines, acting reasonably, that such Pre-Closing Reorganization:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) can be completed as close as reasonably practicable prior to the Effective Time, and can be unwound in the event the Arrangement is not consummated without adversely affecting EMX, any of its subsidiaries, or the EMX Securityholders in any material respect;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) is not prejudicial to EMX or the EMX Securityholders in any material respect;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) does not require the approval of the EMX Securityholders to proceed absent any required consent of any Person where the failure to obtain such consent would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse impact upon EMX and its subsidiaries (including any Regulatory Approval);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) does not require EMX or its subsidiaries to take any action that would reasonably be expected to result in Taxes being imposed on, or any adverse Tax or other consequences to, any EMX Securityholders incrementally greater than the Taxes or other consequences to such Person in connection with the completion of the Arrangement in the absence of action being taken pursuant to this Section 5.5;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) does not result in (A) any material breach by EMX or any of its subsidiaries of any EMX Material Contract, (B) any breach by EMX of EMX's Constating Documents or applicable Law, or (C) any breach by any of EMX's subsidiaries of its constating documents or applicable Law;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) does not impair the ability of EMX to consummate, and will not materially delay the consummation of, the Arrangement and would not reasonably be expected to prevent any Person from making a Superior Proposal;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) does not reduce or change the form of the Consideration provided for under the Arrangement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) does not unreasonably interfere with EMX's material operations prior to the Effective Time; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ix) does not require the directors, officers, employees or agent of EMX or its subsidiaries to take any action in any capacity other than as director, officer, employee or agent or that would reasonably be expected to result in such Person incurring personal liability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Elemental must provide written notice to EMX of any proposed Pre-Closing Reorganization at least thirty (30) days prior to the Effective Date. Upon receipt of such notice, EMX and Elemental shall work cooperatively and use their commercially reasonable efforts to prepare prior to the Effective Time all documentation necessary and do such other acts and things as are necessary to give effect to such Pre-Closing Reorganization, including any amendment to this Agreement or the Plan of Arrangement and shall seek to have any such Pre-Closing Reorganization made effective as of the last moment of the Business Day ending immediately prior to the Effective Date (but after Elemental has waived or confirmed that all of the conditions set out in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 have been satisfied).

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Elemental agrees that it will be responsible for all costs and expenses associated with any Pre-Closing Reorganization to be carried out at its request and shall indemnify and save harmless EMX and its affiliates and Representatives from and against any and all liabilities, Taxes, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest awards, judgements and penalties suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with or as a result of any such Pre-Closing Reorganization (including in respect of any reversal, modification or termination of a Pre-Closing Reorganization) and that any Pre-Closing Reorganization will not be considered in determining whether a representation or warranty of EMX under this Agreement has been breached (including where any such Pre-Closing Reorganization requires the consent of any Person under a Contract).

**5.6 Public Communications**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Elemental and EMX agree to issue a joint press release with respect to this Agreement and the Arrangement promptly following the execution of this Agreement, the text and timing of such announcement to be approved by EMX and Elemental in advance, each acting reasonably and without delay.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Elemental and EMX agree to cooperate and participate in: (i) the preparation of presentations to Elemental Shareholders, EMX Shareholders or the financial analyst community in general regarding the Arrangement; (ii) issuing any press releases or otherwise making public statements or public disclosures with respect to this Agreement or the Arrangement or matters relating to the Arrangement; and (iii) making any filing with any Governmental Entity or with any stock exchange, with respect to this Agreement or the Arrangement or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

Each Party shall enable the other Party to review and comment on all such press releases prior to the release thereof and shall enable the other Party to review and comment on such filings prior to the filing thereof; provided, however, that the foregoing (i) and (ii) shall not prohibit any Party from making any disclosure or filing required by applicable Laws or expressly permitted by this Agreement, and if such disclosure or filing is so required or permitted and the other Party has not reviewed or commented on the disclosure or filing, the Party making such disclosure or filing shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give prior oral or written notice to the other Party, and if such prior notice is not possible, to give such notice immediately following the making of such disclosure or filing. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not prevent any Party from making internal announcements to Employees, and having discussions with shareholders and financial analysts and other stakeholders regarding this Agreement or the Arrangement so long as the content of such statements and announcements are consistent with the content contained in the prior public disclosures made by such Party in respect of which the other Party's consent was obtained. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 5.6 related to the approval or contents of filings with Governmental Entities will not apply with respect to filings in connection with the Regulatory Approvals, the EMX Circular, the Interim Order or the Final Order which are governed by other sections of this Agreement. The restrictions set forth in this Section 5.6 shall not apply to any release or public statement in connection with any dispute regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or pursuant to Section 7.2(g).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) From and after the Effective Time, Elemental shall honour all rights to indemnification or exculpation existing as of the date hereof in favour of present and former Employees, officers and directors of EMX or any subsidiary of EMX, as applicable, under: (i) applicable Law, (ii) any Contracts, as disclosed in Schedule 5.7(b) of the EMX Disclosure Letter, or (iii) EMX's Constating Documents or the constating documents of any subsidiary of EMX. Elemental acknowledges and agrees that such rights, shall survive the completion of the Plan of Arrangement and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms for a period of not less than six (6) years after the Effective Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) If Elemental, EMX or any of their respective subsidiaries, successors or assigns (i) consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges or liquidates into, any other Person and is not a continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, amalgamation or liquidation, or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, the Parties shall ensure that any such successor or assign (including, as applicable, any acquirer of substantially all of the properties and assets of EMX, Elemental or their respective subsidiaries) assumes all of the obligations set forth in this Section 5.7.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) at least five (5) Business Days (the "**Matching Period**") have elapsed from the date on which the other Party or Parties, as applicable, received the Superior Proposal Notice;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) during any Matching Period, the other Party or Parties, as applicable, has had the opportunity (but not the obligation), in accordance with Section 7.3(b), to offer to amend this Agreement and the Arrangement in order for such Acquisition Proposal to cease to be a Superior Proposal;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) if the other Party or Parties, as applicable, has or have offered to amend this Agreement and the Arrangement before the expiry of the Matching Period, the board of directors of the Receiving Party has determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal compared to the terms of the Agreement and the Arrangement as proposed to be amended by the other Party or Parties, as applicable, under Section 7.3(b); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) prior to or concurrently with entering into an Alternative Transaction Agreement in respect of the Superior Proposal, the Receiving Party shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2 and pay the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 7.4 as applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) During any Matching Period, or such longer period as the Receiving Party may approve in writing, in its sole discretion: (i) the other Party or Parties, as applicable, shall have the opportunity (but not the obligation) to offer to amend this Agreement and the Arrangement in order for such Acquisition Proposal to cease to be a Superior Proposal and the board(s) of directors of the Receiving Party will review any such offer to amend the terms of this Agreement and the Arrangement in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and its outside legal counsel, in order to determine whether such offer would, upon acceptance by the Receiving Party, result in such Acquisition Proposal that constituted a Superior Proposal ceasing to be a Superior Proposal, and (ii) the Receiving Party shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, negotiate in good faith with the other Party or Parties, as applicable, to make such mutually agreed amendments to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement as would enable the other Party or Parties, as applicable, to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on such amended terms. If the board(s) of directors of the Receiving Party, after consultation with its financial advisors and its outside legal counsel, determines that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to be a Superior Proposal, the Receiving Party shall advise the other Party or Parties, as applicable, and the Parties shall amend this Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement to reflect such offer made by the other Party or Parties, as applicable, and shall take and cause to be taken all such actions as are necessary to give effect to the foregoing. If the board(s) of directors of the Receiving Party, after consultation with its financial advisors and its outside legal counsel, determines that such Acquisition Proposal remains a Superior Proposal and therefore rejects the other Party's offer to amend this Agreement and the Arrangement, if any, the Receiving Party may, subject to compliance with the other provisions hereof, terminate this Agreement and enter into an Alternative Transaction Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Each successive amendment or modification to any Acquisition Proposal that results in an increase in, or modification of, the consideration (or value of such consideration) to be received by the Receiving Party's securityholders or other material terms or conditions thereof shall constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for the purposes of this Section 7.3, and the other Party or Parties, as applicable, shall be afforded a new five (5) Business Day Matching Period which shall commence on the date on which the other Party or Parties, as applicable, received the Superior Proposal Notice with respect to each new Acquisition Proposal from the Receiving Party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The board(s) of directors of the Receiving Party shall promptly, as applicable, where EMX is the Receiving Party, reaffirm the EMX Board Recommendation or where Elemental or Acquireco is the Receiving Party, reaffirm the Elemental Board Recommendation, by news release after any Acquisition Proposal which is determined to not be a Superior Proposal is publicly announced or the Receiving Party determines that a proposed amendment to the terms of this Agreement and the Arrangement as contemplated under Section 7.3(b) would result in an Acquisition Proposal no longer being a Superior Proposal. The Receiving Party shall provide the other Party or Parties, as applicable and their outside legal counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the form and content of any such news release and shall give reasonable and due consideration to any comments made by the other Party or Parties, as applicable, and their outside legal counsel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) In the event that the Receiving Party provides a Superior Proposal Notice to the other Party or Parties, as applicable, on a date that is less than ten (10) Business Days before the EMX Meeting (or the Elemental Meeting), the Receiving Party may, and the other Party or Parties, as applicable, shall be entitled to require the Receiving Party, and the Receiving Party shall upon such request, proceed with, or adjourn or postpone the EMX Meeting (or the Elemental Meeting), in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to a date specified by the other Party or Parties, as applicable that is not more than fifteen (15) Business Days after the scheduled date of the EMX Meeting (or the Elemental Meeting); provided that in no event shall such adjourned or postponed EMX Meeting or the Elemental Meeting, as applicable, be held on a date that is less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Outside Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) For greater certainty, in no event shall either Party be obligated to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) If an EMX Expense Reimbursement Event occurs, Elemental shall pay the Expense Reimbursement to EMX (or as such Party may otherwise direct) within two (2) Business Days following the occurrence of the EMX Expense Reimbursement Event.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) If an Elemental Expense Reimbursement Event occurs, EMX shall pay the Expense Reimbursement to Elemental (or as such Party may otherwise direct) within two (2) Business Days following the occurrence of the Elemental Expense Reimbursement Event.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(iii) "Elemental Expense Reimbursement Event" means the termination of this Agreement by either Party pursuant to 8.2(a)(ii)(C) *[EMX Shareholder Approval]*.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Each of the Parties acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 7.4 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement and that, without those agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement. Each Party acknowledges that all of the payment amounts set out in this Section 7.4 are payments of liquidated damages, in consideration for the disposition of the rights of such Party under this Agreement, which are a genuine pre-estimate of the damages, including opportunity costs, reputational damage and out-of-pocket expenditures, which the Party will suffer or incur as a result of the event giving rise to such payment and the resultant termination of this Agreement and are not penalties. Each Party irrevocably waives any right it may have to raise as a defence that any such liquidated damages are excessive or punitive. Subject to the rights of the Parties to injunctive and other equitable relief or specific performance in accordance with Section 9.3, subject to Section 7.4(k), each Party agrees that the payment of the Termination Fee in the manner provided in this Section 7.4 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy (including damages, specific performance and injunctive relief) of the Party and its affiliates, subject to Section 7.4(k), against the other Party in respect of the event giving rise to such payment and that, upon any termination of this Agreement under circumstances where a Party is entitled to the Termination Fee, and such amount is paid in full, such Party and its affiliates shall be in such circumstances precluded and barred from any other remedy against the other Party at Law or in equity or otherwise (including an order for specific performance), and shall not seek, and shall be barred from seeking, to obtain any recovery, judgment, or damages of any kind, including consequential, indirect, or punitive damages, against the other Party or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members, shareholders or affiliates or their respective representatives in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) No Expense Reimbursement shall be paid or payable by EMX or Elemental, as applicable, if EMX or Elemental has paid the Termination Fee under this Section 7.4. Should the Termination Fee become payable by EMX or Elemental after such Party has paid the Expense Reimbursement pursuant to this Section 7.4, the amount of the Expense Reimbursement so paid by such Party shall be credited against, and thereby reduce the amount of, the Termination Fee that later becomes payable by such Party.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) Nothing in this Section 7.4 shall relieve or have the effect of relieving any Party in any way from liability for damages incurred or suffered by a Party as a result of a willful breach of this Agreement or fraud.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) Nothing in this Section 7.4 shall preclude a Party from seeking injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach of the covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement or otherwise to obtain specific performance of any such covenants or agreements, without the necessity of posting bond or security in connection therewith, provided that under no circumstances shall a Party be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance of the other Party's obligation to complete the transactions contemplated hereby and any monetary damages, including all or any portion of the Termination Fee.

**7.5 Access to Information; Confidentiality**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) From the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement, subject to applicable Law, EMX shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries and their Representatives to, as promptly as reasonably possible in each instance: (i) give Elemental and its Representatives, consultants and independent contractors reasonable access to its and its subsidiaries' offices, premises, properties, assets, senior personnel, Contracts and Books and Records (including continuing access to the EMX Data Room), and (ii) furnish to Elemental and its Representatives, consultants, and independent contractors such financial and operating data or other information with respect to the assets or business of EMX as Elemental may reasonably request (and, the Parties agree that the diligence requests made by Elemental to date, and requests for updates or additional detail beyond such requests, will be considered reasonable); including for the purpose of facilitating integration business planning, provided that EMX's compliance with any request under this Section 7.5(a) shall not unduly interfere with the conduct of the business of EMX and the subsidiaries of EMX.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) From the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement, subject to applicable Law, Elemental shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries and their Representatives to, as promptly as reasonably possible in each instance: (i) give EMX and its Representatives, consultants and independent contractors reasonable access to its and its subsidiaries' offices, premises, properties, assets, senior personnel, Contracts and Books and Records (including continuing access to the Elemental Data Room), and (ii) furnish to EMX and its Representatives, consultants, and independent contractors such financial and operating data or other information with respect to the assets or business of Elemental as EMX may reasonably request (and, the Parties agree that the diligence requests made by EMX to date, and requests for updates or additional detail beyond such requests, will be considered reasonable); including for the purpose of facilitating integration business planning, provided that Elemental's compliance with any request under this Section 7.5(b) shall not unduly interfere with the conduct of the business of Elemental and its subsidiaries.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Investigations made by or on behalf of either Elemental or EMX, whether under this Section 7.5 or otherwise, will not waive, diminish the scope of, or otherwise affect any representation or warranty made by any Party in this Agreement (or remedies with respect thereto).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Each Party acknowledges that the Confidentiality Agreement continues to apply and, in the case any information provided under Section 7.5(a) or Section 7.5(b) above that is non- public and/or proprietary in nature shall be subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement; provided that to the extent any provision of the Confidentiality Agreement conflicts with the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail. For greater certainty, if this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, any obligations of the Parties and their respective Representatives under the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement. The information provided in the EMX Disclosure Letter and the Elemental Disclosure Letter is confidential information and subject to the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) This Section 7.5 shall not require either Party to permit any access, or to disclose any information that in the reasonable good faith judgment of such Party, after consultation with outside legal counsel, would (i) breach, contravene or violate of any Law, (ii) result in the loss of any privilege (including solicitor-client privilege), (iii) result in the disclosure of any competitively sensitive information, or (iv) breach, contravene or violate any confidentiality obligations owed by such Party or any of its subsidiaries to another Person, provided that the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to find a way to allow disclosure of such information to the extent doing so could reasonably (in the good faith belief of such Party, after consultation with outside legal counsel) be managed through the use of customary "clean-room" or other similar arrangements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) If the receiving Party is ordered in any judicial or administrative Proceeding, or by any Governmental Entity, to disclose any confidential information (whether by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or otherwise), the receiving Party will give the furnishing Party prompt notice of such request so that the furnishing Party may seek an appropriate protective order, and, upon the furnishing Party's request and at the furnishing Party's expense, will cooperate with the furnishing Party in seeking such an order. If the receiving Party is nonetheless compelled to disclose confidential information, the receiving Party will disclose only that portion of the confidential information which the receiving Party is legally required to disclose and, upon the furnishing Party's request and at the furnishing Party's expense, will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded to such confidential information to the extent such assurances are available.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Each party acknowledges that the confidential information may contain material non-public information concerning the furnishing Party. Each Party further acknowledges its awareness of the restrictions imposed by applicable Securities Laws on Persons in possession of material non-public information, and agrees that while it is in possession of material non-public information with respect to the other Parties, it will not purchase or sell any securities of the other Parties, or communicate such information to any Person, in violation of applicable Securities Laws. Nothing herein will constitute an admission by either Party that any confidential information in fact contains material non-public information concerning the furnishing Party.

Subject to the provisions of the Interim Order, the Final Order and the Plan of Arrangement, this Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement may, at any time and from time to time before or after the holding of the EMX Meeting or the Elemental Meeting but not later than the Effective Time, be amended by mutual written agreement of the Parties without, subject to applicable Laws, further notice to or authorization on the part of the EMX Shareholders, and any such amendment may, subject to the terms of the Interim Order, the Final Order, the Plan of Arrangement and applicable Law, without limitation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) change the time for performance of any of the obligations or acts of the Parties;

A Party's failure or delay in exercising any right under this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of that right. A single or partial exercise of any right will not preclude a Party from any other or further exercise of that right or the exercise of any other right.

This Agreement shall be governed, including as to validity, interpretation and effect, by the Laws of the Province of British Columbia and the Laws of Canada applicable therein. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably attorns to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of British Columbia in respect of all matters arising under and in relation to this Agreement and the Arrangement and waives any defences to the maintenance of an action in the courts of the Province of British Columbia.

**9.3 Injunctive Relief**

Subject to Section 7.4, the Parties agree that irreparable harm would occur for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement, any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief hereby being waived, this being in addition to any other remedy to which a Party may be entitled at law or in equity.

**9.4 Third Party Beneficiaries**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Despite the Section 9.4(a), the Parties acknowledge to each of the Third Party Beneficiaries their direct rights against the applicable Party under Sections 5.7 and 5.10, which are intended for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Third Party Beneficiary, his, her or their heirs and legal representatives, and, and for such purpose, the Parties confirm that they are acting as trustee on their behalf, and agree to enforce such provisions on their behalf.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Nothing contained in this Agreement, express or implied, shall entitle a Party to seek damages relating to (i) any potential synergies that could have been realized following completion of the Arrangement or (ii) the loss of the economic benefits of the Arrangement to a Party's securityholders, which the Parties acknowledge and agree are not damages or losses of any Party.

There are no representations, warranties, terms, conditions, undertakings or collateral agreements, express, implied or statutory, between the Parties with respect thereto except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement.

**9.6 Successors and Assigns**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) This Agreement becomes effective only when executed by EMX, Elemental and Acquireco. After that time, it will be binding upon and enure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations under this Agreement are assignable or transferable by EMX without the prior written consent of Elemental or by Elemental without the prior written consent of EMX.

**9.7 Mutual Intent**

Notwithstanding the fact that any part of this Agreement has been drafted or prepared by or on behalf of one of the Parties, all Parties confirm that they and their respective outside legal counsel have reviewed and negotiated this Agreement and that the Parties have adopted this Agreement as the joint agreement and understanding of the Parties, and the language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent, and the Parties waive the application of any Laws or rules of construction providing that ambiguities in any agreement or other document will be construed against the Party drafting such agreement or other document and agree that no rule of construction providing that a provision is to be interpreted in favour of the Person who contracted the obligation and against the Person who stipulated it will be applied against any Party.

**9.8 Further Assurances**

Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Parties shall, from time to time, do all acts and things and execute and deliver all such further documents and instruments, as the other Party may, either before or after the Effective Time, reasonably require to effectively carry out or better evidence or perfect the full intent and meaning of this Agreement and, in the event the Arrangement becomes effective, to document or evidence any of the transactions or events set out in the Plan of Arrangement.

No director or officer of EMX or any of its subsidiaries shall have any personal liability whatsoever to Elemental or Acquireco or any other Person under this Agreement or any other document delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby on behalf of EMX or any of its subsidiaries.

**9.10 Severability**

If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule or Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, 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 an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible.

**9.11 Counterparts, Execution**

This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The Parties shall be entitled to rely upon delivery of an executed facsimile or similar executed electronic copy of this Agreement, and such facsimile or similar executed electronic copy shall be legally effective to create a valid and binding agreement between the Parties.

**9.12 Language**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) each EMX Share so assigned and transferred to EMX pursuant to this Section 3.1(a) shall thereupon be cancelled and cease to be outstanding;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) any legal proceedings being prosecuted or pending by or against EMX or Acquireco may be prosecuted, or their prosecution may be continued as the case may be, by or against Amalco;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) subject to Article 6, be entered in the register of holders of Elemental Shares maintained by or on behalf of Elemental in respect of the Elemental Shares as the registered holder of such Elemental Shares so received pursuant to this Section 3.1(c)(xii);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xiii) the amounts added to the capital of the Elemental Shares shall be amounts equal to the paid-up capital (as that term is used for purposes of the Tax Act) of the EMX Shares (other than the EMX Shares held by Dissenting Shareholders) immediately prior to the Effective Time;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xiv) Elemental shall receive one Amalco Share in exchange for each Acquireco Share held by it;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xv) in consideration for Elemental's issuance of the Elemental Shares referenced in Section 3.1(c)(xii), Amalco shall issue to Elemental one Amalco Share for each Elemental Share issued by Elemental under Section 3.1(c)(xii); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xvi) the amounts added to the capital of the Amalco Shares shall be amounts equal to the paid-up capital (as that term is used for purposes of the Tax Act) of the Acquireco Shares and EMX Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) concurrently with (and no earlier than) the issuance of the Consideration in Section 3.1(c)(xii), Elemental shall, and shall be deemed to, issue such number of Elemental Shares to the Subscriber as is required pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Agreement if the conditions set out therein have been satisfied or waived as of such time;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) notwithstanding the EMX Option Plan, each EMX Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall without any further action by or on behalf of an EMX Option Holder, be exchanged for an EMX Replacement Option, each such EMX Replacement Option being exercisable to purchase from Elemental a number of Elemental Shares equal to the product of (A) the number of EMX Shares subject to the EMX Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio. The exercise price per Elemental Share underlying an EMX Replacement Option shall be an amount equal to the quotient of (X) the exercise price per EMX Share underlying the EMX Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (Y) the Exchange Ratio (provided that the aggregate exercise price payable on any particular exercise of EMX Replacement Options shall be rounded up to the nearest whole cent). It is intended that (i) the provisions of Subsection 7(1.4) of the Tax Act apply to the exchange of EMX Options for EMX Replacement Options pursuant to this Section 3.1(e) and (ii) such exchange of options be treated as other than the grant of a new stock right or a change in the form of payment pursuant to Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations. Accordingly, and notwithstanding the foregoing, if required, the exercise price of an EMX Replacement Option will be adjusted accordingly with effect at and from the Effective Time such that the In-The-Money Value of the EMX Replacement Option immediately after the exchange does not exceed the In-The-Money Value of the EMX Option for which it was exchanged immediately before the exchange. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.1(e), each EMX Option which is an "incentive stock option" shall be adjusted as required by Section 424 of the U.S. Tax Code and the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder so as not to constitute a modification, extension or renewal of such EMX Option, within the meaning of Section 424(h) of the U.S. Tax Code. Except as provided in this Section 3.1(e), all terms and conditions of each EMX Replacement Option, including the term to expiry and conditions to and manner of exercising, will be the same as the EMX Option for which it was exchanged, and shall be governed by the terms of the EMX Option Plan and any document evidencing an EMX Option shall thereafter evidence, and be deemed to evidence, an EMX Replacement Option; and, upon the occurrence of the foregoing:

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) each EMX Option Holder shall: (A) cease to be the holder of any EMX Options and cease to have any rights as a holder of EMX Options (and shall instead, for certainty, be a holder of the applicable number of EMX Replacement Options and have rights as a holder of EMX Replacement Options); (B) be removed from the register of EMX Option Holders maintained by or on behalf of Amalco in respect of the EMX Options (and be added to the register of EMX Replacement Options maintained by or on behalf of Amalco in respect of the EMX Replacement Options); and (C) be deemed to have executed and delivered all consents, notices, releases, assignments and waivers, statutory or otherwise, required to so exercise and exchange such EMX Options for EMX Replacement Options; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) each EMX Option so exchanged pursuant to this Section 3.1(e) shall thereupon be cancelled and cease to be outstanding;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) notwithstanding the EMX DSU Plan, each EMX DSU outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall be, and shall be deemed to be, without any further action by or on behalf of a DSU Holder, immediately vested, and shall be exchanged for the right to receive payment from Amalco of a cash amount equal to the Value per Settled DSU (less applicable tax withholding pursuant to Section 5.4), and:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) each EMX DSU Holder shall: (A) cease to be a holder of any EMX DSUs and cease to have any rights as a holder of EMX DSUs (except the right to receive a cash amount per EMX DSU equal to the Value per Settled DSU); (B) be removed from the register of EMX DSUs maintained by or on behalf of Amalco in respect of the EMX DSUs; and (C) be deemed to have executed and delivered all consents, notices, releases, assignments and waivers, statutory or otherwise, required to so exercise and exchange such EMX DSUs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) each EMX DSU so exercised and exchanged pursuant to this Section 3.1(f) shall thereupon be cancelled and cease to be outstanding; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the EMX DSU Agreements shall be terminated and shall be of no further force and effect.

------

**3.2 No Fractional Shares**

No fractional Elemental Shares shall be issued to EMX Securityholders pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement or pursuant to the exercise of any securities issued to EMX Securityholders pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement. Where the aggregate number of Elemental Shares to be issued to an EMX Securityholder under the Arrangement or pursuant to such exercise would otherwise result in a fraction of an Elemental Share being issuable, the number of Elemental Shares to be issued to such EMX Securityholder shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Elemental Share, and such EMX Securityholder shall not be entitled to any payment or other compensation in respect of such fractional Elemental Share.

**3.3 Effect of Arrangement on EMX Warrants**

As a result of the completion of the steps set out in Section 3.1, from and after the Effective Time in accordance with the terms of the EMX Warrant Certificate, each holder of EMX Warrants shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of any such EMX Warrants, in lieu of the EMX Shares to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon such exercise, and for the same consideration otherwise payable therefor, the number of Elemental Shares which the holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement if, immediately prior to the Effective Date, such holder had been the registered holder of the number of EMX Shares to which such holder would have been entitled if such holder had exercised such EMX Warrants immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that, no fractional Elemental Shares will be issued upon exercise of the EMX Warrants, nor shall any compensation be made for such fractional Elemental Shares, if any.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) In no case shall any Party, the Depositary or any other person be required to recognize any person purporting to exercise Dissent Rights unless such person: (i) is the registered holder of the EMX Shares in respect of which such Dissent Rights are purported to be exercised; and (ii) has exercised his, her or its Dissent Rights in strict compliance with the procedures set out in Sections 237 to 247 of the BCBCA, as may be modified by the Interim Order, the Final Order and Section 4.1 hereof, and has neither withdrawn, nor been deemed to have withdrawn, such exercise of Dissent Rights.

**5.2 Lost Certificates**

If any Certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more outstanding EMX Shares that were cancelled in accordance with Section 3.1 shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the former EMX Shareholder claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Depositary shall pay and deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Consideration that such former EMX Shareholder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.1 in accordance with such former EMX Shareholder's Letter of Transmittal.

**5.6 No Liens**

Any exchange, assignment or transfer of securities pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement (including, for certainty, pursuant to Section 3.1) shall be free and clear of any and all Liens and other claims of third parties of any kind.

**5.7 Illegality of Delivery of Elemental Shares**

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan of Arrangement, if Elemental determines that it would be contrary to any applicable Law to issue or deliver the Elemental Shares pursuant to the Arrangement to any former EMX Shareholder that is not a resident in Canada or the United States: (a) the Elemental Shares that otherwise would be issued to such former EMX Shareholder pursuant to Section 3.1 may, at Elemental's direction, be delivered to the Depositary or another nominee appointed by Elemental (a "**Sale Agent**") acting as agent for such former EMX Shareholder; and (b) such Elemental Shares so delivered to the Depositary or the Sale Agent, as applicable, will be sold on behalf of such former EMX Shareholder as soon as practicable after the Effective Date in the normal course of trading on the TSXV and/or an applicable U.S. Exchange, on such dates and at such prices as the Depositary or the Sale Agent, as applicable, determines in its discretion as agent for such former EMX Shareholder. Each such former EMX Shareholder shall be entitled to receive their pro rata portion of the aggregate proceeds of the sale of Elemental Shares pursuant to this Section 5.7 (less any applicable brokerage fees, selling costs, charges, after withholding or deducting any applicable Taxes and subject to rounding to the nearest whole cent and any applicable foreign exchange conversion), which pro rata portion shall be determined based on the number of Elemental Shares that such former EMX Shareholder would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.1 relative to the total number of Elemental Shares sold by the Depositary or Sale Agent, as applicable, at the relevant time. Any payment to a former EMX Shareholder pursuant to this Section 5.7 will be remitted to such person in the same manner as any other cash payments pursuant to this Article 5. None of Elemental, Amalco, the Depositary, the Sale Agent or any other person will be liable for any loss arising out of or in connection with any sales of Elemental Shares pursuant to this Section 5.7. For all tax purposes, such person shall be treated as receiving such Elemental Shares on the Effective Date and then selling such Elemental Shares on the TSXV and/or an applicable U.S. Exchange after the Effective Date. For the avoidance of doubt, Elemental shall not take any action pursuant to this Section 5.7 if such action is reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the Parties' intention that the transactions contemplated by this Plan of Arrangement and the Arrangement Agreement qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the U.S. Tax Code.

Under no circumstances shall interest accrue or be paid by Elemental, Amalco, the Depositary or any other person to former EMX Shareholders depositing Certificates pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement in respect of EMX Shares, regardless of any delay in making any payment or delivery of consideration contemplated hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Schedule 3.1(cc) of the EMX Disclosure Letter contains a true, complete and accurate list of all EMX Benefit Plans and, except as disclosed in the EMX Disclosure Letter, such EMX Benefit Plans have not been amended, terminated, varied or otherwise supplemented. EMX has made available to Elemental: (A) true and complete copies of all material documents setting forth the current terms of each EMX Benefit Plan, including all amendments thereto and all related current trust documents; (B) the most recent summary plan description with respect to each EMX Benefit Plan, if any; and (C) all current material Contracts, relating to each EMX Benefit Plan, including group insurance Contracts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Other than as disclosed in Schedule 3.1(cc)(ii) of the EMX Disclosure Letter, neither EMX, nor any of its Material Subsidiaries owe any change of control, retention, severance, termination or any other payments to any Employee or director of EMX or any of its Material Subsidiaries or any EMX Independent Contractor or any other Person (including, for greater certainty, any financial advisor, legal counsel, investment banker, broker, finder or other intermediary) as a result of the completion of the Arrangement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Each EMX Benefit Plan, to the extent applicable, has been established, registered, amended, funded, administered, operated, and invested in accordance with its terms and applicable Laws in all material respects, including the applicable provisions of ERISA and the U.S. Tax Code, and, to the knowledge of EMX, there is no existing circumstance that is reasonably expected to cause any failure of such compliance. All obligations in respect of any EMX Benefit Plan have been properly accrued and reflected in the annual financial statements to the extent required by applicable accounting standards. All employer and employee payments, contributions and premiums required to be remitted, paid to or in respect of each EMX Benefit Plan have been paid or remitted in a timely fashion in accordance with its terms and all applicable Laws in all material respects. To the knowledge of EMX: (A) there are no investigations by a Governmental Entity or Proceedings (other than routine claims for payment of benefits) ongoing, pending or threatened involving any EMX Benefit Plan or its assets; and (B) no facts exist which would reasonably be expected to give rise to any such investigation order or Proceeding (other than routine claims for payment of benefits). Each EMX Benefit Plan that is intended to be "qualified" under Section 401 of the U.S. Tax Code is the subject of an unrevoked favorable determination or opinion letter from the Internal Revenue Service and, to the knowledge of EMX, there is no existing circumstance, and nothing has occurred since the date thereof that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the qualified status of any such EMX Benefit Plan.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Neither EMX, nor any of its Material Subsidiaries, or to the knowledge of EMX, any of its employees or agents or any of its Material Subsidiaries' employees or agents has, with respect to any EMX Benefit Plan, engaged in or been a party to any non-exempt "prohibited transaction," as such term is defined in Section 4975 of the U.S. Tax Code or Section 406 of ERISA, which could reasonably be expected to result in the imposition of a material penalty assessed pursuant to Section 502(i) of ERISA or a material tax imposed by Section 4975 of the U.S. Tax Code. Neither EMX, its Material Subsidiaries, or any of EMX's employees or any of its Material Subsidiaries' employees, has engaged in any transaction or acted in a manner that would reasonably be expected, or failed to act so as to, subject EMX or any such employees to any liability for breach of fiduciary duty under ERISA or any other applicable Laws. With respect to each EMX Benefit Plan that is an employee welfare benefit plan, whether or not subject to ERISA, there are no agreements or undertakings, written or oral, that would prevent any such plan (including any such plan covering retirees or other former employees) from being amended or terminated without liability to EMX at or at any time after Closing. No EMX Benefit Plan provides benefits after termination of employment except where the cost thereof is borne entirely by the former employee (or his or her eligible dependents or beneficiaries) or as required by Section 4980B(f) of the U.S. Tax Code or any similar state statute or foreign Law. EMX has complied in all respects with the applicable requirements of Section 4980B of the U.S. Tax Code and any similar state statute or foreign Law with respect to each EMX Benefit Plan that is a "group health plan" (as defined in Section 5000(b)(1) of the U.S. Tax Code or any similar state statute or foreign Law). Each EMX Benefit Plan that is subject to Section 409A of the U.S. Tax Code has been operated and administered in material compliance with Section 409A of the U.S. Tax Code. There is no contract, agreement, plan or arrangement to which EMX is a party or by which it is bound to compensate any individual for excise Taxes which may be required pursuant to Section 4999 of the U.S. Tax Code or any Taxes imposed by Section 409A of the U.S. Tax Code. With respect to each EMX Benefit Plan, no event has occurred, and, to the knowledge of EMX, no condition exists, that has subjected, or would reasonably be expected to subject EMX to any tax, fine, lien, penalty or other liability imposed by ERISA, the U.S. Tax Code or any other Law. There are no material lawsuits, actions, proceedings or claims pending or, to the knowledge of EMX, threatened on behalf of or against any EMX Benefit Plan, the assets of any trust under any EMX Benefit Plan, or the plan sponsor or plan administrator, other than routine claims for benefits that have been or are being handled through an administrative claims procedure. All reports, returns and similar documents with respect to all EMX Benefit Plans required to be filed with any Governmental Entity or distributed to any EMX Benefit Plan participant have been duly and timely filed or distributed. EMX has not received notice of any and, to the knowledge of EMX, there are no pending investigations by any Governmental Entity with respect to any EMX Benefit Plans. All contributions, premiums and benefit payments under or in connection with each EMX Benefit Plan that are required to have been made by EMX in accordance with the terms of such EMX Benefit Plan and applicable Laws have been timely made. EMX Benefit Plan, or any insurance Contract related thereto, requires or permits a retroactive increase in premiums or payments on termination of such EMX Benefit Plan or such insurance Contract. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (either alone or in conjunction with any other event) will not: result in any material payment or benefit becoming due or payable, or required to be provided, to any director, employee, consultant or independent contractor of EMX, or cause or create any right to the forgiveness of indebtedness owed by any employee to EMX.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) To the knowledge of EMX: (A) there are no outstanding material breaches, defaults or violations by EMX or any of its Material Subsidiaries under or in respect of any EMX Benefit Plan; and (B) all current obligations of EMX regarding the EMX Benefit Plans have been satisfied. EMX and its Material Subsidiaries have no unfunded liabilities in respect of any EMX Benefit Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) None of the EMX Benefit Plans is self-insured by EMX or its Material Subsidiaries. The costs of funding the EMX Benefit Plans are reflected in the annual financial statements to the extent required by applicable accounting standards.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) No event has occurred respecting any EMX Benefit Plan, to the extent applicable, which would result in the revocation of the registration of such EMX Benefit Plan or entitle a Person (without the consent of EMX) to wind-up or terminate any EMX Benefit Plan in whole or in part, or which could otherwise reasonably be expected to adversely affect the tax status of any such EMX Benefit Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) To the knowledge of EMX, no event has occurred respecting any EMX Benefit Plan, to the extent applicable, which would result in the revocation of the registration of such EMX Benefit Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ix) To the knowledge of EMX, there has been no amendment to, announcement by EMX or any of its Material Subsidiaries relating to or change in Employee eligibility, coverage, or benefits provided under, any EMX Benefit Plan which would materially increase the expense of maintaining such plan above the level of the expense incurred therefor for the most recent fiscal year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(x) All material data necessary to administer each material EMX Benefit Plan is in the possession or control of EMX or its agents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xi) To the knowledge of EMX, neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein will: (A) result in an obligation to fund (through a trust or otherwise) or increase any material compensation or benefits under any EMX Benefit Plan or any other payment or benefits becoming due; or (B) materially increase any amount payable under any EMX Benefit Plan; or (C) result in the acceleration of any other material obligation pursuant to any EMX Benefit Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xii) Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.1(cc) of the EMX Disclosure Letter, none of the EMX Benefit Plans provides health and welfare benefits beyond retirement or other termination of service, other than as required by applicable Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xiii) None of the EMX Benefit Plans is a defined benefit pension plan, registered pension plan, multi-employer pension plan, retirement compensation arrangement or salary deferral arrangement within the meaning of the Tax Act.

5.5 Time shall be of the essence in this Agreement.

5.6 Each of the provisions contained in this Agreement is distinct and severable and a declaration of invalidity or unenforceability of any such provision or part thereof by a court of competent jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.

The Parties hereto will engage in good faith negotiations to replace any provision hereof or any part thereof that is declared invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision or part thereof, the economic effect of which approximates as much as possible the invalid or unenforceable provision or part thereof that it replaces.

There are no representations, warranties, covenants or conditions with respect to the subject matter hereof except as contained herein.

5.9 This Agreement shall be governed by, and be construed in accordance with, the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein but the reference to such laws shall not, by conflict of laws rules or otherwise, require the application of the law of any jurisdiction other than the Province of British Columbia.

------

5.12 The Holder recognizes and acknowledges that this Agreement is an integral part of Elemental and EMX entering into the Arrangement Agreement, and that Elemental and EMX would not contemplate proceeding with the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement unless this Agreement was entered into by the Holder, and that a breach by the Holder of any covenants or other commitments contained in this Agreement will cause Elemental and EMX to sustain injury for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy at law. Therefore, the Holder agrees that, in the event of any such breach, each of Elemental and EMX shall be entitled to the remedy of specific performance of such covenants or commitments and preliminary and permanent injunctive and other equitable relief in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity.

5.5 Time shall be of the essence in this Agreement.

------

5.6 Each of the provisions contained in this Agreement is distinct and severable and a declaration of invalidity or unenforceability of any such provision or part thereof by a court of competent jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof. To the extent permitted by Law, the Parties hereto waive any provision of Law that renders any provision of this Agreement or any part thereof invalid or unenforceable in any respect. The Parties hereto will engage in good faith negotiations to replace any provision hereof or any part thereof that is declared invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision or part thereof, the economic effect of which approximates as much as possible the invalid or unenforceable provision or part thereof that it replaces.

5.7 Any notice, consent, waiver, direction or other communication required or permitted to be given under this Agreement by a Party hereto shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand to the Party hereto to which the notice is to be given, sent by electronic mail to the following address, or to such other address or number as shall be specified by a Party hereto by like notice. Any notice, consent, waiver, direction or other communication aforesaid shall, if delivered, be deemed to have been given and received on the date on which it was delivered to the address provided herein (if a Business Day or, if not, then the next succeeding Business Day) and if sent by electronic mail be deemed to have been given and received at the time of receipt (if a Business Day or, if not, then the next succeeding Business Day) unless actually received after 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) at the point of delivery in which case it shall be deemed to have been given and received on the next Business Day.

5.9 This Agreement shall be governed by, and be construed in accordance with, the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein but the reference to such laws shall not, by conflict of laws rules or otherwise, require the application of the law of any jurisdiction other than the Province of British Columbia.

5.12 The Holder recognizes and acknowledges that this Agreement is an integral part of Elemental Altus and EMX entering into the Arrangement Agreement, and that Elemental Altus and EMX would not contemplate proceeding with the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement unless this Agreement was entered into by the Holder, and that a breach by the Holder of any covenants or other commitments contained in this Agreement will cause Elemental Altus and EMX to sustain injury for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy at law. Therefore, the Holder agrees that, in the event of any such breach, each of Elemental Altus and EMX shall be entitled to the remedy of specific performance of such covenants or commitments and preliminary and permanent injunctive and other equitable relief in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity.

5.14 The Parties will, from time to time, execute and deliver all such further documents and instruments and do all such acts and things as the other Parties may reasonably require and at the requesting Party's cost to effectively carry out or better evidence or perfect the full intent and meaning of this Agreement.

Unless the contrary intention appears, references in this Agreement to an Article, Section, subsection, paragraph or Schedule by number or letter or both refer to the Article, Section, subsection, paragraph or Schedule, respectively, bearing that designation in this Agreement.

4.5 Time shall be of the essence in this Agreement.

4.6 Each of the provisions contained in this Agreement is distinct and severable and a declaration of invalidity or unenforceability of any such provision or part thereof by a court of competent jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof. To the extent permitted by Law, the Parties hereto waive any provision of Law that renders any provision of this Agreement or any part thereof invalid or unenforceable in any respect. The Parties hereto will engage in good faith negotiations to replace any provision hereof or any part thereof that is declared invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision or part thereof, the economic effect of which approximates as much as possible the invalid or unenforceable provision or part thereof that it replaces.

4.9 This Agreement shall be governed by, and be construed in accordance with, the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein but the reference to such laws shall not, by conflict of laws rules or otherwise, require the application of the law of any jurisdiction other than the Province of British Columbia.
