-5- ROYALTY DEED
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.3 CAPACITY
(a) MFCB warrants and represents to Newmont and NLS that, as at the
date of this document, MFCB has obtained all consents and
approvals necessary to enter into this Deed.
(b) MFCB shall be responsible and liable for the actions and
omissions of each of its Affiliates in relation to this Deed.
MFCB enters into this Deed both in its own right and as agent of
and trustee for all of its Affiliates.
2. ROYALTY
2.1 GRANT OF ROYALTY
For the consideration set out in the Share Sale Agreement and subject
to clause 1.4, MFCB agrees, subject to the terms and conditions in this
Deed, to pay the Royalty to NLS provided that nothing herein shall
obligate or be deemed to obligate MFCB or any of its Affiliates
(including after Completion Banff and/or KCCL) to conduct or maintain
any level of operation at the Mining Operations.
2.2 CALCULATION OF ROYALTY
(a) The Royalty to be paid by MFCB shall be an amount equal to 10%
of the Free Cash Flow up to an aggregate maximum of
US$10,000.000 (the "Royalty Cap"), payable in accordance with
clause 2.3. For greater certainty, if for any Royalty Period,
there is no Free Cash Flow or the same is a negative amount, no
Royalty shall be paid or payable by MFCB hereunder for such
period.
(b) For the purposes of calculating the amount of the Royalty, "FREE
CASH FLOW" means the actual proceeds of sale from all cobalt and
other minerals produced from the Mining Operations received by
KCCL or Banff during each Royalty Period less the Cash Costs
incurred during that Royalty Period. For the purposes of this
definition, in the case of any disposal of cobalt or other
minerals by KCCL which is not at a sale on arms length
commercial terms, KCCL will be taken to have received at the
time at which that disposal took place proceeds of sale equal to
the proceeds of sale which it would be reasonable to expect that
KCCL would have received had that disposal been a sale at arms
length commercial terms.
3. PAYMENT OF INTEREST
3.1 CALCULATION OF INTEREST
In addition to the payment of the Royalty, MFCB agrees, subject to
clause 1.4, to pay to NLS, in any Fiscal Year during which the Interest
Threshold is met, Interest at the rate of 5% per annum (based upon a
365 day year) compounding semi-annually on so much of the amount of the
Royalty Cap outstanding from time to time during such Fiscal Year. For
greater clarity, if the Interest Threshold is not met, no Interest
shall accrue or be paid or payable in respect of such Fiscal Year
3.2 PAYMENT OF INTEREST
Interest shall be calculated and paid in clear funds and without
deduction of any kind within 30 days after the end of each Fiscal Year.
-6- ROYALTY DEED
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. PAYMENT OF ROYALTY
4.1 DUE DATE FOR PAYMENT
MFCB must pay the Royalty due to NLS for a particular Royalty Period
within 14 days after the end of that Royalty Period in clear funds and
without deduction of any kind.
4.2 ROYALTY STATEMENT
MFCB must submit a Royalty Statement to NLS at the same time as payment
of the Royalty for each Royalty Period and, in any event, within 14
days after the end of the relevant Royalty Period.
4.3 FAILURE TO PAY ROYALTY
If MFCB fails to pay a Royalty payment due to NLS by the date on which
such payment is due and payable then, without prejudice to any other
rights of NLS, MFCB shall pay to NLS (as the case may be) immediately
upon receipt of written demand:
(a) interest at the Prescribed Rate on the unpaid Royalty payment
calculated daily from such due date until such Royalty payment
has been made in full; and
(b) all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses (including
reasonable legal costs and disbursements) attributable to MFCB's
failure to pay the Royalty by its due date for payment.
5. ACCOUNTS AND AUDIT
5.1 RECORDS
MFCB must use all reasonable commercial efforts to cause KCCL to keep
and maintain or ensure that there are kept and maintained accurate
books of account, records, reports, invoices, statements, and other
documents as are reasonably necessary to verify and substantiate the
amount of the Royalty payable for each Royalty Period and the payment
of Interest.
5.2 ACCESS TO RECORDS
MFCB shall exercise its rights as a direct or indirect shareholder of
KCCL and cause its nominees on the board of KCCL to vote to procure
that one of Newmont or NLS and its representatives (including its
auditors) have full access during regular business hours upon
reasonable prior notice (but no more than twice in any 12 month period)
to all of the books of account, records, reports, invoices, statements
and other documents kept and maintained in accordance with Clause 5.1.
5.3 AUDIT
NLS (but only once in any 12 month period) shall have the right at
their own expense upon 30 days written notice to MFCB to audit at its
own cost the calculation of the Royalty as referred to in each Royalty
Statement. If an audit is undertaken and reveals any underpayment of
the Royalty for any Royalty Period, then MFCB must pay the amount of
the Royalty outstanding and interest on the amount outstanding at the
Prescribed Rate upon written demand by NLS. If the amount of the
Royalty outstanding is at least $100,000 in aggregate over four
consecutive Royalty Periods then MFCB must also pay the
-7- ROYALTY DEED
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of NLS's audit. In
the event that the audit determines the Royalty was correctly
calculated, NLS shall pay to MFCB the reasonable out-of-pocket
costs and expenses incurred by MFCB and KCCL in respect thereto.
5.4 DISPUTES
If there is a dispute as to the amount of the Royalty due which cannot
be resolved by the Parties within 20 days after delivery of written
notice of such dispute, then each of the Parties shall prepare and
submit a written statement setting forth the specific matters in
dispute to the Vancouver, British Columbia office of PriceWaterhouse
Coopers (the "CA Firm") along with any information, supporting
documentation and other materials in respect of each Party's
determination of such calculation and the specific matters in dispute,
which firm shall render its opinion as to such matters in accordance
with the terms of this Deed. Based on that opinion, the CA Firm shall
then send to the Parties a written determination of the matters in
dispute and a written determination of the Royalty due (the "Royalty
Calculation") based upon such opinion, whereupon the Royalty
Calculation shall be final and binding upon the Parties. If the CA Firm
determines that the Royalty due for the relevant Royalty Period was
underpaid by MFCB, then MFCB shall pay any costs incurred by the CA
Firm and forthwith pay to NLS the amount of the underpayment. If the CA
Firm determines that the Royalty due for the relevant Royalty Period
was paid accurately or overpaid by MFCB, then Newmont or NLS shall pay
any costs incurred by the CA Firm. In the event of any overpayment, the
requisite adjustment between the Parties shall be made during the next
Royalty Period to the Royalty payable in respect thereof and, in the
event MFCB is unable to fully recover such overpayment during such
Royalty Period, during the next succeeding Royalty Periods until such
overpayment is fully recovered.
