RE:  Rate and Fee Modifications

Jeff,

As a follow up to our recent conversations regarding certain terms of the outstanding loan facilities between Sky Bank and Franklin Credit Management Corporation, I would like to reiterate the details of our agreements. Specifically, the rate to be charged for new loan originations shall be the FHLB of Cincinnati one month advance rate plus an applicable margin 50 BP less than the applicable margin that would have applied prior to this letter. Further the origination fee to be charged on all future Franklin term debt facilities shall be 75 BP of the amount financed. 

We agree that these new terms have taken affect as of July 1, 2005 and the terms of all existing term debt facilities originated prior to that date shall remain unchanged as found in a certain Master Credit and Security Agreement by and between Sky Bank and Franklin Credit Management Corporation dated on October 13, 2004, as amended prior to the date hereof. 

As always, please feel free to contact me with questions.

Regards,

RE: Rate and Fee Modifications 

Jeff,

As a follow up to our recent conversations regarding certain terms of the outstanding loan facilities between Sky Bank and Tribeca Lending Corporation, I would like to reiterate the details of our agreements. Specifically the interest rate to be charged for new loan originations shall be the same as the rate that would be applicable to new term debt originated by Franklin Credit Management Corporation, based upon the letter I have sent to Franklin today.  Further the origination fee to be charged on all future Tribeca term debt facilities shall be 50 BP of the amount financed. As for the warehouse line of credit, the new pricing shall be either Prime minus 50 BP or 250 BP over the FHLB Cincinnati one month advance rate to be determined by you at
a future date.

We agree that these new terms have taken affect as of July 1, 2005, and the terms of all existing term debt facilities originated prior to that date shall remain unchanged, and all terms of the warehouse facility, other than the applicable interest rate, shall remain unchanged as found in a certain Warehousing Credit and Security Agreement by and between Tribeca Lending Corporation and Sky Bank dated September 30, 2003, as amended. 

As always, please feel free to contact me with questions.

Regards,

      AGREEMENT

    

    TERMINATION
      AGREEMENT
      (the
“Agreement”), dated as of July 12, 2005, by and between GOLDEN
      PHOENIX MINERALS, INC.,
      a
      Minnesota corporation, (the “Company”), and FUSION
      CAPITAL FUND II, LLC, an
      Illinois limited liability company (the “Buyer”).

    

    WHEREAS,
      the
      Buyer and the Company mutually desire to terminate the Common Stock Purchase
      Agreement dated as of November 12, 2002, by and between the Company and the
      Buyer (the “Purchase Agreement”) and the agreements entered into in connection
      with the Purchase Agreement. All capitalized terms used in this Agreement that
      are not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in the
      Purchase Agreement.

    

    NOW
      THEREFORE,
      the
      Company and the Buyer hereby agree as follows:

    

    1.    TERMINATION
      OF THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT. 

    

    The
      Purchase Agreement, and the other Transaction Documents between the Buyer and
      the Company related to the Purchase Agreement (other than this Agreement) are
      hereby terminated effective as of the date hereof and any and all rights, duties
      and obligations arising thereunder or in connection with the Purchase Agreement,
      and the Transaction Documents are now and hereafter fully and finally
      terminated, provided, however, that (i) the representations and warranties
      of
      the Buyer and Company contained in Sections 2 and 3 of the Purchase Agreement,
      (ii) the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 8 of the Purchase
      Agreement, and (iii) the agreements and covenants set forth in Section 11 of
      the
      Purchase Agreement shall survive such termination and shall continue in full
      force and effect (the “Surviving Obligations”).

     

    2.    MISCELLANEOUS.

    

    (a)    Governing
      Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial.
      All
      questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation
      of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of
      Illinois, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law
      provision or rule (whether of the State of Illinois or any other jurisdictions)
      that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than
      the
      State of Illinois. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive
      jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of Chicago,
      for
      the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or under the other Transaction
      Documents or in connection herewith or therewith, or with any transaction
      contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and
      agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is
      not
      personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action
      or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such
      suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives
      personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such
      suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the
      address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service
      shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.
      Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve
      process in any manner permitted by law. EACH
      PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO
      REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN
      CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION
      CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (b)    Counterparts.
      This
      Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which
      shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when
      counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party;
      provided that a facsimile signature shall be considered due execution and shall
      be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if
      the
      signature were an original, not a facsimile signature.

    

    (c)    Headings.
      The
      headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form
      part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.

    

    (d)    Severability.
      If any
      provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any
      jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity
      or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or
      the
      validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other
      jurisdiction.

    

    (e)    Notices.
      Any
      notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to
      be
      given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed
