No assignment by the Optionee of any interest less than its entire interest in this Agreement and in the Property shall, as between the Optionee and the Optionor, discharge it from any of its obligations hereunder, but upon the transfer by the Optionee of the entire interest at the time held by it in this Agreement, whether to one or more transferees and whether in one or in a number of successive transfers, the Optionee shall be deemed to be discharged from all obligations hereunder save and except for the fulfilment of contractual commitments accrued due prior to the date on which the Optionee shall have no further interest in this Agreement. 

15. If the Optionor should receive a bona fide offer from an independent third party (the "Proposed Purchaser") dealing at arm's length with the Optionor to purchase all or a part of the Optionor NSR interest in the Property, which offer the Optionor desires to accept: 

 

(a)    The Optionor shall first offer (the "Offer") such interest in writing to the Optionee upon terms no less favourable than those offered by the Proposed

         Purchaser or intended to be offered by the Optionor, as the case may be; 

 

(b)    The Offer shall specify the price, terms and conditions of such sale, the name of the Proposed Purchaser and shall, in the case of an intended offer by

         the Optionor, disclose the person or persons to whom the Optionor intends to offer its interest and, if the offer received by the Optionor from the

         Proposed Purchaser provides for any consideration payable to the Optionor otherwise than in cash, the Offer shall include the Optionor's good faith

         estimate of the cash equivalent of the non-cash consideration; 

 

(c)    If within a period of 60 days of the receipt of the Offer the Optionee notifies the Optionor in writing that it will accept the Offer, the Optionor shall be

        bound to sell such interest to the Optionee on the terms and conditions of the Offer. If the Offer so accepted by the Optionee contains the Optionor's

        good faith estimate of the cash equivalent of the non cash consideration as aforesaid, and if the Optionee disagrees with the Optionor's best estimate, the

        Optionee shall so notify the Optionor at the time of acceptance and the Optionee shall, in such notice, specify what it considers, in good faith, the fair

        cash equivalent to be and the resulting total purchase price. If the Optionee so notifies the Optionor, the acceptance by the Optionee shall be effective

        and binding upon the Optionor and the Optionee, and the cash equivalent of any such non-cash consideration shall be determined by binding arbitration

        and shall be payable by the Optionee, subject to prepayment as hereinafter provided, within 60 days following its determination by arbitration. The

        Optionee shall in such case pay to the Optionor, against receipt of an absolute transfer of clear and unencumbered title to the interest of the Optionor

        being sold, the total purchase price which is specified in its notice to the Optionor and such amount shall be credited to the amount determined following

        arbitration of the cash equivalent of any non-cash consideration; 

 

(d)    If the Optionee fails to notify the Optionor before the expiration of the time limited therefor that it will purchase the interest offered, the Optionor may

        sell and transfer such interest to the Proposed Purchaser at the price and on the terms and conditions specified in the Offer for

        a period of 60 days, but

        the terms of this paragraph shall again apply to such interest if the sale to the Proposed Purchaser is not completed within such 60 days; and 

 

(e)    Any sale hereunder shall be conditional upon the Proposed Purchaser delivering a written undertaking to the Optionee, in form and substance

        satisfactory to its counsel, to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 

SURRENDER OF PROPERTY INTERESTS PRIOR TO TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT 

16. The Optionor may at any time during the Option Period elect to abandon any one or more of the Mining Leases comprised in the Property by giving notice to the Optionee of such intention. Any leases so abandoned shall be in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which they are situated for at least 6 months from the date of abandonment. Upon any such abandonment, the Mining Leases so abandoned shall for all purposes of this Agreement cease to form part of the Property. 

FORCE MAJEURE 

17. If the Optionee is at any time either during the Option Period or thereafter prevented or delayed in complying with any provisions of this Agreement by reason of strikes, lock-outs, labour shortages, power shortages, fuel shortages, fires, wars, acts of God, governmental regulations restricting normal operations, shipping delays or any other reason or reasons, other than lack of funds, beyond the control of the Optionee, the time limited for the performance by the Optionee of its obligations hereunder shall be extended by a period of time equal in length to the period of each such prevention or delay, but nothing herein shall discharge the Optionee from its obligations hereunder to maintain the Property in good standing. The Optionee shall give prompt notice to the Op!
 tionor of each event of force majeure and upon cessation of such event shall furnish to the Optionor with notice to that effect together with the particulars of the number of days by which the obligations of the Optionee hereunder have been extended by virtue of such event of force majeure and all preceding events of force majeure. 

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 

18. No information furnished by the Optionee to the Optionor hereunder in respect of the activities carried out on the Property by the Optionee shall be published or disclosed by the Optionor without the prior written consent of the Optionee, but such consent in respect of the reporting of factual data shall not be unreasonably withheld, and shall not be withheld in respect of information required to be publicly disclosed pursuant to applicable securities or corporation laws, regulations or policies. 

ARBITRATION 

19. All disputes between the Parties arising under this Agreement, which the Parties are unable to resolve between themselves within 20 days, will be resolved by arbitration under the rules of the

British Columbia International Commercial Arbitration Centre (" BCICAC ") by a sole arbitrator subject to the following: 

 

(a)       Any Party may refer any dispute to arbitration by notice to the other and, within 30 days after receipt of such notice, the Parties will endeavour to agree on the appointment of a sole arbitrator, who will be capable of commencing the arbitration within 21 days of his appointment. In the event that the Parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator, the Parties agree to be bound by the rules of the BCICAC providing for the appointment of a sole arbitrator. The arbitrator will be an individu!
 al who by a combination of education and experience is competent to adjudicate the matter in dispute and who has indicated his willingness and ability to act as arbitrator 

 

(b)       The decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding upon each of the Parties and will not be subject to appeal or judicial review. 

DEFAULT 

20. If at any time during the Option Period the Optionee is in default of any provision in this Agreement, the Optionor may terminate this Agreement, but only if: 

 

(a)       It shall have first given to the Optionee a notice of default containing particulars of the obligation which the Optionee has not performed, or the warranty breached; and 

 

(b)       The Optionee has not, within 45 days following delivery of such notice of default, cured such default or commenced proceedings to cure such default by appropriate payment or performance within a reasonable period of time, the Optionee hereby agreeing that should it so commence to cure any default it will prosecute the same to completion without undue delay. 

 

Should the Optionee fail to comply with the provision of sub-paragraph (b), the Optionor may thereafter terminate this Agreement by giving notice thereof to the Optionee. 

RULE AGAINST PERPETUITIES 

21. If any right, power or interest held by or to be acquired by any party in the Property under this Agreement would violate the rule against perpetuities, then such right, power or interest shall terminate at the expiration of 20 years after the date of this Agreement.

22.
