      WHERAS, Xinlong is a wholly-owned
limited liability company controlled by a foreign-owned enterprise registered in
the territory of the People’s Republic of China;

      

                     
WHEREAS, the Company is a company incorporated in China, which possesses the
exploration rights to that certain land of 6.29 square kilometers in the
Dashuigou area and the mining rights of that certain tellurium and bismuth mine
of 0.0568 square kilometers in Shimian Majiagou (such exploration rights and

Business”);

      

      WHEREAS, the Shareholders hold in
excess of fifty percent (50%) of the total issued equity of the Company;
and

      

      

                     
WHEREAS, Xinlong is desirous of acquiring ownership of the Mining Business at
such time as is permissible in accordance with applicable laws.

      

      NOW THEREFORE, in light of the
principles of equity and mutual benefit, after negotiations, the parties have
agreed as follows:

      

      1. Exclusivity. The
Company and each of the Shareholders agree that they will not enter into any
agreement or letter of intent with any third party regarding the purchase, sale
or transfer of the Mining Business, or any part thereof, or interest therein,
for a period being the longer of (i) twenty (20) years and (ii) until such time
as there is no economic value in the Mining Business (the “Exclusivity Period”),
in each case from the date of this Agreement.

      

      2. First Option; Acquisition of
Mining Business.  In furtherance of Section 1 hereof, the
Company and each of the Shareholders agree that during the Exclusivity Period
Xinlong shall have a right of first offer to acquire the Mining Business from
the Company (or from any spin-off entity that may come into being pursuant to
Section 3
hereof) on terms and conditions to be agreed upon between the parties hereto in
good faith as and when such acquisition shall be advisable, permissible and in
the best interest of Xinlong.

      

      

      
        
           

        

        
          1

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      3. Change of Control;
Spin-off.

      

      3.1           The
Company and each of the Shareholders agree that they shall not enter into any
agreement or letter of intent with any third party regarding a change of control
of the Company (“Change of Control Agreement”, or “Change of Control
Transaction”, as the case may be) during the Exclusivity Period unless the terms
of such agreement, letter of intent or transaction provide for the spin-off of
the Mining Business into a corporate entity to be controlled by the Shareholders
prior to the consummation of any such transaction.

      

      3.2           In
the event that any Change of Control Agreement is entered into, or any Change of
Control Transaction is effected, during the Exclusivity Period the Shareholders
hereby agree that the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to extend to them
in their capacity as shareholders of the corporate entity formed to effect the
spin-off of the Mining Business. For the avoidance of doubt Xinlong shall have
no liability if it determines not to or is unable to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby.

      

      4.           Third Party
Transfers. Each Shareholder agrees that they shall not enter into any
agreement, arrangement or other transaction whatsoever to assign, encumber,
sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of, any of their shares in the
Company to any third party (a proposed “Transferee”) during
the Exclusivity Period, and the Company shall refuse to authorize, approve or
effect any such transfer, unless prior to the consummation of such a transaction
the Transferee agrees to be bound in full by the terms of this
Agreement.

      

      5.           Termination Fee. In
the event that the Company or the Shareholders shall breach any provision set
forth in this Agreement Xinlong shall be entitled to receive from the Company
and the Shareholders a termination fee in an amount equivalent to the economic
value of the Mining Business as determined by a independent third party
appraiser chosen by Xinlong; provided, that, such breach is not
remedied by the Company and the Shareholders to the satisfaction of Xinlong
within five business days following the occurrence of the breach.

      

      

      6.           Mining License. The
Company represents, warrants and undertakes to Xinlong that it shall at all
times use its best efforts to ensure that all the exploration and mining rights
of the Mining Business do not lapse and it shall take full responsibility for
obtaining the successful renewal of such rights from the relevant governmental
authority upon their expiration.
