              1.  

            	
              Retention of

              a.  

            	
              Duties of
      Manager.  The Company hereby retains Manager to actively
      assist in the management of the Company’s operations.  Manager
      accepts such appointment and agrees to discharge faithfully and diligently
      the duties set forth herein and implement the policies established by the
      Company’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors”), including, but
      not limited to, the following:

            

    

    
      	
              i.  

            	
              Use
      commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate, arrange, and execute for and
      on the Company’s behalf, through industry-standard tenders, the purchase
      and stockpile of indium with a minimum purity of 99.97% over a prudent
      period of time.  The Manager, on the Company’s behalf, may enter
      into long-term and or short-term supply contracts with indium
      suppliers;

            

    

    
      	
              ii.  

            	
              Provide
      to the Board of Directors delivery and payment particulars with respect to
      each purchase and sale of indium;

            

    

    
      	
              iii.  

            	
              Use
      commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate and arrange for the
      transportation and storage of the Company’s indium stockpile at
      third-party facilities located in the United States, Canada and or the
      United Kingdom, in accordance with standard industry terms.  The
      Manager is not required to retain a custodian on our
    behalf;

            

    

    
      	
              iv.  

            	
              Use
      commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate and arrange for indemnities
      or insurance on the Company’s indium stockpile, in accordance with
      standard industry practices by either the third-party storage facility’s
      insurance policy, a separately purchased insurance policy or
      both;

            

    

    
      	
              v.  

            	
              Conduct
      limited inspections of the indium delivered to the Company regarding the
      minimum 99.97% purity requirements, based on the
  following:

            

    

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    
      	 	 

    

    
      	
              1.  

            	
              if
      indium is purchased from a supplier known to be a regular indium industry
      supplier, the Manager will not be responsible for conducting any chemical
      assays or other tests designed to verify that such indium meets the
      minimum 99.97% purity requirements as established by Regular Industry
      Practice.  For the purposes of this Agreement, Regular Industry
      Practice means purchasing, storing or selling the metal indium containing
      a minimum 99.97% purity level, delivered in the form of Ingots, which are
      individually wrapped in transparent polyethylene bags having a minimum
      thickness of 0.004 inches;

            

    

    
      	
              2.  

            	
              if
      indium is purchased from a third-party supplier that is not known to be a
      regular indium industry supplier, the Manager, at its discretion, may
      hire, at the Company’s expense, an independent lab to perform random assay
      tests using glow-discharge mass spectrometry (“GDMS”) to verify the purity
      of the indium;

            

    

    
      	
              vi.  

            	
              At
      the Manager’s discretion, negotiate and arrange for the lending and/or
      sale of indium from the Company’s stockpile to: (1) generate cash to
      satisfy the Company’s operating expenses (2) facilitate the Manager’s
      ability to negotiate long-term and or short-term supply contracts with
      potential indium suppliers to acquire an indium stockpile (3) take
      advantage of periodic shortages in the indium market based on market
      conditions that the Manager deems favorable to the
  Company;

            

    

    
      	
              vii.  

            	
              Arrange,
      negotiate and execute any additional documents regarding the acquisition,
      storage, insuring and disposition of indium on the Company’s behalf,
      including, but not limited to, corporate, title, environmental, financial
      documents and other material agreements regarding the acquisition,
      storage, insuring and disposition of indium on the Company’s
      behalf;

            

    

    
      	
              viii.  

            	
              On
      a quarterly basis, prepare a report (the “Quarterly Report”) to be made
      available to the Company and the Board of Directors regarding the net
      market value (the “NMV”) of each share of the Company’s common
      stock.  NMV shall be determined by multiplying the number of
      kilograms of indium held by or for the Company by the last spot price for
      indium published by Metal Bulletin posted on Bloomberg L.P. for the month,
      plus cash and any other Company assets, less any and all of the Company’s
      outstanding payables, indebtedness and any other liabilities, divided by
      the total number of outstanding common
shares.

      pursuant to long-term or short-term contracts with an indium supplier, the
      Company shall have funds reserved to satisfy such purchase price and shall

	6.6	 The Seller will give prompt written notice to the Buyer of any development occurring after the date of this Agreement which reasonably could be
expected to cause any of the representations and warranties of the Seller in Section 5 to be inaccurate as of the date of this Agreement or the Closing Date.

and the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller, on the other hand, so that all such intercompany obligations shall cease to exist and shall no longer be reflected on the Closing Date Balance Sheet, and (ii) all obligations owed by the Company to
directors, officers or employees of the Company, so that all such obligations shall cease to exist and shall no longer be reflected on the Closing Date Balance Sheet.

over allotment shares that may be associated with any offering or placement) as part of the financing of the Transactions in the period between the date of this Agreement and the earlier to occur of: 

 

	 	6.10.1	 delivery of the Vessel to the Company pursuant to the Shipbuilding Contract; and 

 

	 	6.10.2	 the discharge of the Corporate Guarantee with respect to the Vessel. 

 

	6.11	 If (a) the Buyer issues new share capital prior to the Closing Date (other than the US$60,000,000 issuance referred to in Section 6.10
which shall always be conditional on Closing taking place if the Buyer seeks to issue new equity prior to Closing) or (b) this Agreement terminates pursuant to Clause 7.3 below and the Buyer issues new share capital prior to the earlier to
occur of (i) delivery of the Vessel to the Company pursuant to the Shipbuilding Contract; and (ii) the discharge of the Corporate Guarantee with respect to the Vessel (in either such case of clause (a) or (b), a “Buyer
Issuance”), other than a Buyer Issuance to employees, officers or directors of the Buyer or its subsidiaries pursuant to an employee benefit plan approved by the Buyer’s board of directors, then the following provisions shall apply:

Issuance (the “Issuance Notice”), which Issuance Notice shall include the amount of share capital involved in the Buyer Issuance (the “Offered Securities”) and a description of the material terms and conditions upon

 19 

	 	6.11.2	 Seller shall have an option (the “Seller’s Option”) for a period of five (5) business days from receipt of an Issuance
Notice (the “Seller Notice Period”) to elect to purchase all or any portion of its pro rata portion (based on the number of ordinary shares of the Buyer owned by the Seller (including those on an “as converted” basis) of
the outstanding ordinary shares of the Buyer on a fully-diluted basis) of the Offered Securities at the same price and subject to the same material terms and conditions as described in the Issuance Notice. Seller may exercise the Seller’s
Option and, thereby, purchase all or any portion of such pro rata portion of the Offered Securities by notifying the Buyer in writing before expiration of the Seller Notice Period as to the amount of such Offered Securities that it wishes to
purchase by payment in cash on the same terms as the Offered Securities. The Seller’s Option shall be extinguished with respect to any offering of Offered Securities if Seller fails to respond in writing prior to the expiration of the Seller
Notice Period.

	8	 INDEMNITIES 

  

	8.1	 Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.4, each Party hereto (for the purposes of this clause, the “indemnifying
Party”) hereby agrees to pay promptly or, as the case may be, hold the other party (the “indemnified Party,” which expression shall include, its affiliates, and its or their respective directors, officers, employees and
stockholders), harmless (on a full indemnity basis) and keep the indemnified Party or indemnified Parties indemnified against any liability, loss, charge, claim, demand, action, cause of action, proceeding, damage, judgment, order or other sanction,
enforcement, penalty, fine, fee, commission, interest, encumbrance, cost and expense of whatsoever nature which arises or is suffered or incurred by or imposed on the indemnified Party (each a “Loss” and collectively the
“Losses”) that arises from (i) any breach of any representation or warranty given, made or repeated by an indemnifying Party or in any certificate or other document given or issued pursuant hereto, and (ii) any breach of
any covenant or undertaking made or given by an indemnifying Party in this Agreement. 

  

 23 

	8.2	 Following Closing, the Buyer shall indemnify the Seller against all Losses suffered or incurred by the Seller arising out of or in connection with
any claim brought by the Builder against the Seller under the Corporate Guarantee. 

  

	8.3	 The obligations of an indemnifying Party to indemnify an indemnified Party for any Losses under clause 8.1 hereof, in any case resulting from the
assertion of liability by third parties (each, as the case may be, a “Claim”), will be subject to the following terms and conditions: 

  

	 	8.3.1	 Any Party against whom any Claim is asserted will give the indemnifying Party written notice of any such Claim promptly after learning of such
Claim, and the indemnifying Party may at its option undertake the defence thereof by representatives of its own choosing that are reasonably acceptable to the indemnified Party, subject to the limitations set forth below. Failure to give prompt
notice of a Claim hereunder shall not affect an indemnified Party’s rights under this clause 8.3, except to the extent the indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure to give prompt notice. Until the indemnifying Party assumes
the defence of such Claim, the indemnified Party against whom such Claim has been made will have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Claim on behalf of and for the account and risk, and at the expense, of the
indemnifying Party, subject to the right of the indemnifying Party to assume the defence of such Claim at any time prior to settlement, compromise or final determination thereof, subject to the limitations set forth below.

  

	 	8.3.2	 Anything in this clause 8.3 to the contrary notwithstanding, the indemnifying Party shall not enter into any settlement or compromise of any action,
suit or proceeding or consent to the entry of any judgment (i) which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the indemnified Party of a written release from all Losses in respect of such
action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) for other than monetary damages to be borne by the indemnifying Party, or (iii) that involves a finding or admission of any violation of Law or the rights of any Person or has an effect on any other
claims that may be made by or against the indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the indemnified Party. 

  

	 	8.3.3	 The indemnifying Party and the indemnified Party shall cooperate fully in all aspects of any investigation, defence, pretrial activities, trial,
compromise, settlement or discharge of any Claim in respect of which indemnity is sought pursuant to this clause 8.3, including, but not limited to, by providing the other party with reasonable access to employees and officers (including as
witnesses) and other information. 

  

 24 

	 	8.3.4	 The indemnifying Party may not assume defence of any Claim unless (a) the indemnifying Party gives written notice to the indemnified Party that
the indemnifying Party will indemnify the indemnified Party from and against the entirety of any and all Losses the indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Claim, (b) the
indemnifying Party provides the indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the indemnified Party that the indemnifying Party will have adequate financial resources to defend against the Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations
hereunder, (c) the Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, (d) the indemnified Party has not been advised by counsel that an actual or potential conflict
exists between the indemnified Party and the indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of the Claim, (e) the Claim does not relate to or otherwise arise in connection with taxes or any criminal or regulatory enforcement action,
(f) settlement of, an adverse judgment with respect to or the indemnifying Party’s conduct of the defense of the Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the indemnified Party, reasonably likely to be materially adverse to the
indemnified Party’s reputation or continuing business interests (including its relationships with current or potential customers, suppliers or other parties material to the conduct of its business) and (g) the indemnifying Party conducts
the defense of the Claim actively and diligently. The indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party will pay the fees and
expenses of separate co-counsel retained by the Indemnified Party that are incurred prior to indemnifying Party’s assumption of control of the defense of the Claim. 

 

	 	8.3.5	 If the indemnifying Party does not deliver the assumption of defence notice contemplated above, or the evidence of financial ability to defend and
satisfy any Claim or otherwise at any time fails to conduct the defense of the Claim actively and diligently, the indemnified Party may defend, and may consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement with respect to,
the Claim in any manner it may deem appropriate (and the indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the indemnifying Party in connection therewith). If such notice and evidence is given and the Indemnifying Party conducts
the defence of the Claim actively and diligently but any of the other conditions described above is or becomes unsatisfied, the indemnified Party may defend, and may consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement
with respect to, the Claim. In the event that the indemnified Party conducts the defense of the Claim, the indemnifying Party will (a) advance payment to the indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against the
Claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and (b) remain liable for any and all other Losses that the indemnified Party may incur or suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of or caused by the
Claim to the fullest extent provided in this clause 8.3. 

  

 25 

	8.4	 For all purposes of this Agreement, 

  

	 	8.4.1	 the indemnifying Party shall not have any liability under clause (i) of clause 8.1 of this Section 8 unless the aggregate amount of the
Losses for which the indemnifying Party would be liable under this Clause is greater than (a) zero for breaches by the Seller of any representation or warranty in Section 5.2.6, 5.2.21 or 5.2.24, and (b) US$400,000 for breaches
by the Seller of any other representation or warranty in Section 5.1 or 5.2 or for breaches by the Buyer of any representation or warranty in Section 5.1, 5.3 or 5.4 (in any such case, the “Basket”), and then only
to the extent that such Losses exceed the Basket; 

  

	 	8.4.2	 the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall survive, and a claim for indemnity under this Section 8 may be brought,
until 18 months following the Closing Date; provided, that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.2.1 shall survive indefinitely; 

 

	 	8.4.3	 the maximum amount of any Losses that a Party shall be required to pay pursuant to this Section 8 shall be equal to $62,750,000, except that
with respect to Losses by (a) Buyer arising from a breach of the representation and warranty by Seller under Section 5.2.1 or 5.2.15 and (b) Seller arising from a breach of the indemnity at Section 8.2, such maximum
amount shall be equal to the Consideration; 

  

	 	8.4.4	 to the extent Buyer has established by agreement with the Seller or by a final and unappealable judicial decision that Buyer is to be indemnified
for Losses pursuant to this Section 8, Buyer shall be entitled to set off the amount of such Losses against any remaining principal amount of, or accrued unpaid interest on, the Loan Note at that time and such principal or accrued unpaid
interest shall thereafter be reduced by any such amount of Losses. Such setoff shall be effected automatically by means of, and upon, the delivery by Buyer to Seller of written notice of such setoff, such notice stating the amount of such setoff,
the application to interest or principal (as elected by Buyer in such notice), and the reason for such setoff; 

  

 26 

	 	8.4.5	 the amount of any Losses that a Party shall be required to pay pursuant to this Section 8 shall be reduced by (i) any amount received by
an indemnified Party with respect thereto under any insurance coverage or from any other party alleged to be responsible therefor and (ii) the amount of any Tax benefit available to the indemnified Party relating thereto. The indemnified party
shall use reasonable efforts to collect any amounts available under such insurance coverage and from such other party alleged to have responsibility. If an indemnified Party receives any amount under insurance coverage or from such other party with
respect to such Losses at any time subsequent to any indemnification provided by the indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 8, then such indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the indemnifying Party for any payment made or expense
incurred by the indemnifying Party in connection with providing such indemnification up to such amount received by the indemnified Party; 

  

	 	8.4.6	 Nothing in this clause shall restrict or limit an indemnified Party’s general obligation at law to mitigate a loss it may suffer or incur as a
result of an event that may give rise to a claim under this indemnity. 

  

	 	8.4.7	 A Party shall have no obligation to indemnify the other Party (a) for any indirect or consequential liabilities, costs, expenses, damages or
losses (including without limitation loss of profit), or (b) in respect of a Claim that arises or is delayed as a result of actual fraud, gross negligence or wilful misconduct by the indemnified Party, their agents or advisers.

  

	 	8.4.8	 In the absence of actual fraud, gross negligence or wilful misconduct by the indemnifying Party, THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN THIS
AGREEMENT WILL BE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS, OBLIGATIONS AND REMEDIES OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE EVENTS GIVING RISE TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THE TRANSACTIONS PROVIDED FOR HEREIN OR CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. NEITHER
PARTY NOR ANY OF ITS RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS SHALL HAVE ANY RIGHTS AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY OR THEIR RELATED PARTIES AFTER THE CLOSING DATE WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY CONTEMPLATED BY THIS
AGREEMENT (including as contemplated in Clause 8.2 above).
