ARTICLE 4

SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 4.1

Survival

The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, shall survive the making of this Agreement and the Closing for a period of 24 months (the “Survival Period”). If a claim for a breach of any such representation or warranty is brought prior to the expiration of the Survival Period, such representation and warranty shall, for the purposes of such claim, survive the applicable Survival Period until such claim is finally resolved and all obligations with respect thereto have been fully satisfied.

ARTICLE 5

INDEMNITY

Section 5.1

Indemnity of the Parties

(a) Premier Gold agrees to indemnify and save harmless Sandstorm Gold of and from all Losses actually incurred by Sandstorm Gold as a result of any breach by Premier Gold or any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Premier Gold contained in section 3.1 or any breach or any non-fulfilment by Premier Gold of any covenant of Premier Gold contained in this Agreement.

(b) Sandstorm Gold agrees to indemnify and save harmless Premier Gold of and from all Losses actually incurred by Premier Gold as a result of any breach by Sandstorm Gold or any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Sandstorm Gold contained in section 3.2 or any breach or any non-fulfilment by Sandstorm Gold of any covenant of Sandstorm Gold contained in this Agreement.

Section 5.2

Minimum Indemnification Claim

The obligation of Premier Gold to indemnify Sandstorm Gold, and the obligation of Sandstorm Gold to indemnify Premier Gold in respect of any of the matters described in

- 19 -

section 5.1 shall become applicable only when the Losses actually incurred by the Party entitled to indemnification in the aggregate exceed $1.0 million (the “Threshold”). Once the Threshold has been exceeded, the obligations of indemnification with respect to such matters shall apply to any and all Losses to the extent that the Losses exceed the Threshold. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this section 5.2 shall not apply to Losses incurred by a Party as a result of any breach or non-fulfilment of a covenant of any other Party, as applicable, set out in this Agreement.

Section 5.3

Notice of Claims

In the event that a Party (the “Indemnified Party”) shall become aware of any Loss in respect of which the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) agreed to indemnify the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement (the “Indemnification Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party. Such notice shall specify whether the Indemnification Claim arises as a result of a claim by a Person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”) or whether the Loss does not so arise (a “Direct Claim”) and shall also specify with reasonable particularity (to the extent that the information is available), the factual basis for the Indemnification Claim and the amount of the Loss if known. If through the fault of the Indemnified Party the Indemnifying Party does not receive notice of any Indemnification Claim in time to contest effectively the determination of any liability susceptible of being contested, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to set off against the amount claimed by the Indemnified Party the amount of any Losses incurred by the Indemnifying Party resulting from the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such notice on a timely basis.

Section 5.4

Investigation of Claims

With respect to any Direct Claim, following receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the Indemnification Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have 60 days to make such investigation of the Indemnification Claim as is considered necessary or desirable. For the purpose of such investigation, the Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party the information relied upon by the Indemnified Party to substantiate the Indemnification Claim, together with all such other information as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. If both Parties agree at or prior to the expiration of such 60 day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof) to the validity and amount of such Indemnification Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall immediately pay to the Indemnified Party the full agreed upon amount of the Indemnification Claim, failing which the matter shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
