8.1           Governing Law.  This Agreement, and the rights and liabilities of the Parties hereunder, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, other than its rules as to conflicts of law, and the Parties hereby submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Nevada state and federal courts with respect to any matters arising out of or pertaining to this Agreement, and hereby waive any defenses of lack of jurisdiction, inconvenient forum or improper venue.
 
8.2           Parties in Interest; Assignment.  All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective Parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns.  The rights, powers, privileges, and interests hereunder shall not be assignable by either Party, except to Affiliates or subsidiaries, or as otherwise specifically provided for herein, without the prior written consent of the non-assigning Party; provided that any Affiliate, subsidiary or third party to whom any rights, powers, privileges or interests hereunder or any interest in the Property are assigned or conveyed shall agree in writing to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
 
8.3           Other Business Opportunities.  This Agreement is, and the rights and obligations of the Parties are, strictly limited to the matters set forth herein.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each of the Parties shall have the free and unrestricted right to independently engage in and receive the full benefits of any and all business ventures of any sort whatever, whether or not competitive with the matters contemplated hereby, without consulting the other or inviting or allowing the other to participate therein.  The doctrines of “corporate opportunity” or “business opportunity” shall not be applied to any other activity, venture, or operation of either Party.
 
8.4           No Partnership.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute any Party the partner of the other, nor, except as otherwise herein expressly provided, to constitute any Party the agent or legal representative of the other, nor to create any fiduciary relationship between them.  It is not the intention of the Parties to create, nor shall this Agreement be construed to create, any mining, commercial, tax or other partnership or any joint venture.  No Party shall have any authority to act for or to assume any obligation or responsibility on behalf of the other Parties, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.
 

 
-14-

 
 
8.5           Severability.  In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other instrument or agreement contemplated hereby shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement or any such other instrument or agreement.
 
8.6           Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, and all such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same document.
 
8.7           Covenant Running With Land.  The Option and all of the covenants, conditions, and terms of this Agreement, including the right of Waterton to acquire Grantor’s right to receive or obtain its undivided interest in the Mineral Ridge Properties, shall (a) be of benefit to the parties, (b) run as a covenant with the Mineral Ridge Properties and the ground covered thereby (including any interest derived from the federal government in the event of the amendment or repeal of the General Mining Law of 1872), and (c) bind and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns (including any third party who acquires any interest in the Property).  The Option, this Agreement and the performance of the provisions hereof attaches to the Mineral Ridge Properties.
 
8.8           Time of Essence.  Time is of the essence in this Agreement.
 
8.9           Rule Against Perpetuities.  In the event a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the term or any other provision of this Agreement violates the Rule Against Perpetuities, then the term of this Agreement shall automatically be revised and reformed to coincide with the maximum term permitted by the Rule Against Perpetuities, or such other provision shall automatically be revised and reformed as necessary to comply with the Rule Against Perpetuities, and this Agreement shall not be terminated solely as a result of a violation of the Rule Against Perpetuities.
 
8.10           Additional Documents; Further Assurances.  At the request of either Party, the Parties shall from time to time execute and deliver all such further instruments, certificates and documents and do all such further actions and things as may be necessary or appropriate to fully perform, effectuate and carry out the purposes of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
 
8.11           Joint Preparation.  Each provision of this Agreement shall be construed as though the parties participated equally in the drafting of the same.  Consequently, the parties acknowledge and agree that any rule of construction that a document is to be construed against the drafting party shall not be applicable to this Agreement.
 
8.12           Severance of Invalid Provisions.  If and for so long as any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid for any reason whatsoever, such invalidity shall not affect the validity or operation of any other provision of this Agreement except only so far as shall be necessary to give effect to the construction of such invalidity, and any such invalid provision shall be deemed severed from this Agreement without affecting the validity of the balance of this Agreement.
 

 
-15-

 
 
8.13           Recording.  The Parties agree that any Party may record this Agreement (or a memorandum or short form of this Agreement) in the official records of Esmeralda County, Nevada.
 
8.14           SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE; SPECIAL REMEDIES.  Each of the Parties hereto acknowledges that the other Party would be irreparably damaged if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms and that any breach of this Agreement by a Party hereto could not be adequately compensated in all cases by monetary damages alone.  Accordingly, in addition to any other right or remedy to which a Party may be entitled, at law or in equity, each shall be entitled to enforce any provision of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance and to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement, without posting any bond or other undertaking.
 
8.15           Right of Set-Off.  Waterton shall have the right to set off and apply any indebtedness, liability or other monetary obligation at any time owing by Grantor to or for the credit or the account of Waterton against the Purchase Price in the event that Waterton exercises the Option, and Grantor hereby expressly authorizes Waterton to so set off and apply any and all such amounts to the payment of the Purchase Price.
 
8.16           Construction.  Whenever the word “including” is used in this Agreement, it shall be deemed to mean “including without limitation.”
