In relation to the services described in Section 1.01, Mr. Heili agrees specifically to use his best efforts to promote the interests of Ur-Energy and its Affiliates and shall not use any information he may acquire with respect to the business and affairs of Ur-Energy and its Affiliates, for his own purposes or for any purposes other than those of Ur-Energy and its Affiliates.

          (2)      Mr. Heili will not, at any time during the term of this Agreement and during the five year period after the expiry, cancellation or termination of this Agreement, do or say anything which is likely or intended to damage the goodwill or reputation of Ur-Energy and its Affiliates, or of any business carried on by Ur-Energy or its Affiliates, or which may lead any person, other than as part of good faith negotiations, either to cease to do business with Ur-Energy and its Affiliates on substantially equivalent terms to those previously offered, or not to engage in business with Ur-Energy and its Affiliates.

          (3)      Mr. Heili represents and warrants that he is fully able to enter this Agreement, and to perform all duties, obligations and responsibilities contemplated. Mr. Heili, Ur-Energy and the Corporation acknowledge that Mr. Heili previously entered an agreement (the “Former Agreement”) with Energy Metals Corporation (the “Former Company”).

McCarthy Tétrault LLP DMS-OTTAWA #5659084 v. 6


5

Corporation further acknowledge that the Former Agreement requires that even after termination of the Former Agreement, Mr. Heili is required to treat the information, data, developments and trade secrets that are confidential under the Former Agreement as such, and that Mr. Heili shall not disclose to third parties (including Ur-Energy and Corporation) any confidential or proprietary data or information of the Former Company (the “Trade Secrets Clause”). Each of parties acknowledge receipt of the relevant clauses of the Former Agreement that constitute the Trade Secrets Clause, the text of which is incorporated herein. Ur-Energy, Corporation and Mr. Heili further acknowledge and agree that no part of Mr. Heili’s duties and responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement shall require, and no personnel with Ur-Energy or its Affiliates shall require, that Mr. Heili disclose confidential or proprietary data or information of the Former Company in contravention of his continuing obligations pursuant to the Trade Secrets Clause. In the event this provision conflicts with any other provision of this Agreement, this Section 2.01(3) shall control. Mr. Heili further represents and warrants that he is not a party to any other agreement other than the Former Agreement, including with the Former Company, which would conflict with the terms of this Agreement and that neither the execution nor performance of this Agreement by him will violate, conflict with or result in a breach of any provisions of another contract nor will execution and full performance of this Agreement violate any court order, judgment, writ or injunction applicable to Mr. Heili.

          (4)      Mr. Heili agrees to adhere to the procedures and policies of Ur-Energy and its Affiliates that may be in place from time to time.

2.02             Proprietary and Confidential Information and Work Product

          (1)      Mr. Heili acknowledges that, by reason of his employment with Ur-Energy and its Affiliates, he has had and will have access to proprietary and confidential information as defined hereinafter. Mr. Heili agrees that, during and after his employment with Ur-Energy and its Affiliates, he will not disclose to any person, except in the proper course of his employment and performance of this Agreement, and will not use for his own purposes or for any purposes other than those of Ur-Energy and its Affiliates, any Confidential Information disclosed to or acquired by him.

          (2)      “Confidential Information” for the purposes of this Agreement means secret, confidential or proprietary information of Ur-Energy and its Affiliates, including, but not limited to: data, geological and geophysical information and analyses, assets, acquisition or production strategies, trade secrets, information relating to operations, processes or procedures, customer and supplier lists and other confidential information whether technical, commercial or financial, business strategies or plans, details of contracts, and marketing methods, plans or strategies, concerning the business and affairs of Ur-Energy and its Affiliates. For purposes of this Agreement, the term Confidential Information does not include any information that is or becomes generally available to and known by the public (other than as a result of an un-permitted disclosure directly or indirectly by Mr. Heili or another). In addition, Mr. Heili may disclose secret, proprietary or Confidential Information to the extent (a) he is legally compelled to disclose such information, provided that Mr. Heili shall promptly notify Corporation and/or Ur-Energy of such request or requirement, if that notification can be made without violating the terms of such compelled disclosure and Mr. Heili uses reasonable efforts to obtain from the party

McCarthy Tétrault LLP DMS-OTTAWA #5659084 v. 6


6

to whom disclosure is made written assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion as is disclosed; (b) such disclosure is required in any legal proceeding between Mr. Heili and Ur-Energy and its Affiliates in order for Mr. Heili to defend or pursue any claim in any legal or administrative proceeding.

          (3)      Any and all products of the work performed or created by Mr. Heili under this Agreement or in connection with the services (collectively, “Work Product”) shall be the sole and exclusive property of Ur-Energy and all such Work Product shall become the property of Ur-Energy from and at such time as it is created. Mr. Heili shall have no right to use any such Work Product except in connection with performing Services pursuant to this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, to the greatest extent possible, any and all Work Product shall be deemed to be “work made for hire” (as defined in the Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq.), and Mr. Heili hereby unconditionally and irrevocable transfers and assigns to Ur-Energy all rights, title and interest Mr. Heili currently has or in the future may have by operation of law or otherwise in or to any Work Product, including, without limitation, all patents, copyrights, trademarks, service marks and other intellectual property rights and agrees that Ur-Energy shall have the exclusive world-wide ownership of all such items, and that no such items shall be treated as or deemed to be a “joint work” (as defined in the Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq.) of Mr. Heili and Ur-Energy or otherwise. Mr. Heili further warrants and agrees to take such other actions as Ur-Energy may reasonable request to perfect and protect Ur-Energy’s interest in any Work Product.

          (4)      Mr. Heili acknowledges that the breach of any of the covenants contained in the Section 2.02 concerning Confidential Information and Work Product will result in irreparable harm and continuing damages to Ur-Energy and its Affiliates and the business of each or both. Further, Mr. Heili acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at law for any such breach or threatened breach would be inadequate. Accordingly, in addition to such remedies as may be available to Ur-Energy or any of its Affiliates at law or in equity in the event of any such breach, any Court of competent jurisdiction may issue an injunction (both preliminary and permanent), together with posting of a bond of $1,000.00, enjoining and restricting the breach or threatened breach of any such covenant, including, but not limited to, an injunction restraining Mr. Heili from disclosing, in whole or in part, any Confidential Information or utilizing or disseminating Work Product.

          (5)      In addition, in the event of any breach of Section 2.02 Ur-Energy and its Affiliates will be relieved of any further obligations pursuant to this Agreement to make any payments to Mr. Heili or provide him with any benefits as outlined in Section 1.04, except those in Section 3.01.

          (6)      If any provision, or part(s) thereof, of this Section 2.02 governing Confidential Information and Work Product shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only to such provision(s) and shall not in any way affect or render invalid or unenforceable any other provisions of this Section 2.02 or any other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be carried out as if such invalid or unenforceable provision, or part thereof, had been reformed, and any court of competent jurisdiction or arbiters, as the case may be, are authorized to so reform such invalid or unenforceable provision, or part thereof, so that it would be valid, legal and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

          (7)      The obligations of this Section 2.02 shall survive the expiry, cancellation or termination of this Agreement for any reason.

2.03             No Competition; No Solicitation

          (1)      For a period of two years after the expiry, cancellation or termination of this Agreement for any reason, Mr. Heili shall not directly or indirectly provide professional services to any person, firm or business which is engaged in the exploration for and development of uranium mineral properties (i) within 5 miles of the boundaries of each of the property claim groups in the United States of America owned, leased, licensed or otherwise held by Ur-Energy and its Affiliates, more fully described on Schedule A hereto, (ii) within 5 miles of the perimeter of each of the Hornby Basin located in the Northwest Territories/Nunavut, Canada and the Thelon Basin located in the Northwest Territories, Canada, and (iii) within 5 miles of the boundaries of any other mineral properties owned, leased or licensed or otherwise held by Ur-Energy and its Affiliates or under consideration by Ur-Energy and its Affiliates at the time of the expiry, cancellation or termination of this Agreement, a list or map of which will be created by Ur-Energy at the time of termination. Mr. Heili acknowledges and agrees that the services he will provide to Ur-Energy and its Affiliates and the Confidential Information he will obtain, are unique in nature, and that Ur-Energy and its Affiliates would be irreparably harmed if Mr. Heili were to provide similar services to or divulge any proprietary or Confidential Information to another person, firm or business who are engaged in a similar or competing business.

          (2)      Mr. Heili acknowledges and agrees that the term and geographic restriction of this agreement not to compete are both reasonable, and moreover that if a Court should find otherwise Mr. Heili agrees that such Court should uphold this provision and redefine the restriction in duration, geographic scope or other way in which the Court does not find the restriction to be reasonable.

          (3)      For a period of two years after the expiry, cancellation or termination of this Agreement for any reason, Mr. Heili shall not directly or indirectly induce or attempt to induce any member of management or professional staff of Ur-Energy or its Affiliates to terminate his/her employment with Ur-Energy or its Affiliate to become employed by any energy-related business with which Mr. Heili is associated.

          (4)      Mr. Heili acknowledges that the breach of any of the covenants contained in Section 2.03 concerning this agreement for non-solicitation of management and professional staff and to not compete with the business(es) of Ur-Energy and its Affiliates will result in irreparable harm and continuing damages to Ur-Energy and its Affiliates and the business of each or both. Further, Mr. Heili acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at law for any such breach or threatened breach would be inadequate. Accordingly, in addition to such remedies as may be available to Ur-Energy or any of its Affiliates at law or in equity in the event of any such breach, any Court of competent jurisdiction may issue an injunction (both preliminary and permanent), together with posting of a bond of $1,000.00, enjoining and restricting the breach or threatened breach of any such covenant, including, but not limited to, an injunction restraining Mr. Heili from competing in contravention of the above provisions or soliciting employees of Ur-Energy or its Affiliates as the events may be.

          (2)      Mr. Heili may terminate this Agreement without cause by giving Ur-Energy 90 days’ prior notice in writing pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.01, below. Such notice is excused in the event of death or if disability occurs and makes such notice impracticable.

          (4)      Except as provided in subsection (5) below, Ur-Energy, through the Corporation, may terminate this Agreement for any other reason which does not violate this Agreement or applicable law.

          (5)      In the event of a Change of Control of Ur-Energy (as defined below) or within 12 months after a Change of Control, (i) Ur-Energy, through the Corporation, or its successors may terminate the Agreement, or (ii) Mr. Heili may terminate this Agreement in the event that his position including duties, responsibilities and general scope of authority and compensation do
