The Parties agree and acknowledge that the acquisition of the Purchased Assets hereunder involves the acquisition by Klondex of all or substantially all of the assets of Shoreline, and Klondex and Shoreline covenant and agree to execute and file a joint election in the prescribed form contemplated under paragraph 66.7(7)(e) of the Tax Act, within the time limits prescribed by the Tax Act, in respect of the transfer of the Purchased Assets. The Parties acknowledge that the election under this section will only extend to the Purchased Assets to the extent applicable.

Each of Shoreline and Klondex represents that it is duly registered under subdivision (d) of Division V of Part IX of the Excise Tax Act (Canada) with respect to GST and will provide its registration number to the other party promptly upon request by such other party. Shoreline and Klondex acknowledge and agree that Shoreline is selling, and Klondex is acquiring, all or substantially all of the assets used in the business and each agrees to jointly prepare and execute an election pursuant to section 167 of the Excise Tax Act (Canada). Klondex shall file such election in prescribed form and within the time limits contained in the Excise Tax Act (Canada) with the appropriate Governmental Entity. Any GST and/or any other sales or similar tax incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, for greater certainty, where an election pursuant to section 167 of the Excise Tax Act (Canada) is not or cannot be validly made in respect of the Purchased Assets, shall be borne by Klondex.

Klondex shall pay (and indemnify Shoreline for) any and all land transfer taxes, levies and other Taxes which may be payable in connection with the purchase and sale of the assets of 6004903 if Klondex acquires such assets as contemplated in section 4.9.

Employment Matters

Klondex shall make offers of employment, effective at the Closing Time, to each of [****], which offers of employment shall be made no later than ten days prior to the Closing Date. [****] shall each have the option to accept or reject their respective offer of employment up to five days prior to the Closing Date.

As a condition of closing, prior the Closing Date, Shoreline shall have:

Terminated, effective prior to the Closing Date, the employment of all its employees other than any employee who tenders his or her resignation effective prior to the Closing Date (each such resigning employee being a "Resigning Employee") and all such terminated Shoreline employees are hereinafter referred to as "Terminated Employees";

provided all notice or pay in lieu of notice to all Terminated Employees as is required under all applicable employment agreements with such Terminated Employees and as otherwise required by law; and

paid to all employees of Shoreline all accrued vacation pay, statutory holiday pay, wages, salaries, termination payments (subject to subsection 4.8(c) below), and all other benefits and entitlements accrued up to the Closing Date under the applicable employment agreement with each such employee and as otherwise required by law,

and Shoreline shall and does hereby indemnify and hold Klondex harmless for all liabilities, obligations and amounts arising from matters during the period commencing on June 23, 2015 and ending on the Closing Date, or in connection with the transactions herein set forth, that may be or become owing by Shoreline, to any or all employees of Shoreline including without limitation, all Resigning Employees, Terminated Employees, and subject to subsection 4.8(c) hereof, [****].

Notwithstanding whether or not [****] accepts employment with Klondex pursuant to the offers made in accordance with subsection 4.8(a), Shoreline shall terminate both of their employment contracts effective the Closing Date, however in the event that:

[****] accepts his offer of employment with Klondex, Klondex hereby covenants and agrees with Shoreline that Klondex, in satisfaction of Shoreline's obligation under [****] existing employment contract with Shoreline, shall, on closing, pay directly to [****] the termination payment set out in such employment contract in the amount of [****]; and

[****] accepts his offer of employment with Klondex, Klondex hereby covenants and agrees with Shoreline that Klondex, in satisfaction of Shoreline's obligation under [****] existing employment contract with Shoreline, shall on closing, pay directly to [****] the termination payment set out in such employment contract in the amount of [****];

in each case, with such payment being less all respective required deductions.

In the event that [****] does not accept the offer of employment made by Klondex made pursuant to subsection 4.8(a) hereof, then Klondex shall have no responsibility whatsoever for such non-accepting party's termination payment or any other obligation of Shoreline under the applicable employment agreement with such party or as otherwise required by law.

If [****] accepts the offer of employment by Klondex made pursuant to subsection 4.8(a) hereof, Klondex shall recognize such accepting party's length of service with Shoreline and San Gold.

6004903 Manitoba Limited

In the event that Klondex does not provide Shoreline with the notice contemplated in paragraph (p) of the definition of "Purchased Assets" and accordingly does not wish to acquire all of the shares in 6004903, Klondex shall notify Shoreline in writing, not later than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, whether it wishes to acquire all the assets owned by 6004903 (the "asset purchase notice"). In the event that Klondex does not provide an asset purchase notice by such date, Klondex shall be deemed to not wish to acquire any such assets. In the event that Klondex does provide an asset purchase notice by such date, the Parties agree that Klondex and 6004903 shall enter into a short form transfer agreement (in form and substance satisfactory to the Parties) pursuant to which all such assets shall be purchased by Klondex from 6004903 to Klondex (for nominal consideration). Shoreline agrees that it shall cause 6004903 to enter into such short form transfer agreement. The Parties agree that none of the provisions of this Agreement shall apply to any such assets and, for the avoidance of doubt, "Purchased Assets" shall not include any such assets.

In the event that Klondex does provide Shoreline with the notice contemplated in paragraph (p) of the definition of "Purchased Assets" and accordingly does wish to acquire all of the shares in 6004903, Shoreline shall ensure that Klondex shall obtain free and clear title to all the shares in 6004903 and that 6004903 shall not have any actual or accrued liabilities.

by either Shoreline or Klondex if:

the closing of the Transaction does not occur on or prior to the end of the day on the Outside Date, provided that a Party may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(a)(ii)(A) if the failure of the closing of the Transaction to so occur has been caused by, or is a result of, a breach by such Party of any of its representations or warranties or the failure of such Party to perform any of its covenants under this Agreement; or

after the date of this Agreement, any Law is enacted, made, enforced or amended, as applicable, that makes the consummation of the Transaction illegal or otherwise permanently prohibits or enjoins Shoreline or Klondex from consummating the Transaction, and such Law has, if applicable, become final and non-appealable, provided the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(a)(ii)(B) has used its commercially reasonable efforts to appeal such Law (provided such Law is an order, injunction, judgment, decree or ruling) or otherwise have it lifted or rendered non-applicable in respect of the Transaction;

by Shoreline if a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant on the part of Klondex under this Agreement occurs that would cause any condition in Section 6.3(a) or Section 6.3(b) not to be satisfied, and such breach or failure is incapable of being cured or is not cured by the Outside Date; provided that any Wilful Breach shall be deemed to be incurable; or

by Klondex:

after the date of this Agreement, there has occurred a Material Adverse Effect.

The Party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(a) shall give notice of such termination to the other Party, specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such Party's exercise of its termination right.

Effect of Termination

Date, Time and Place of Closing

Indemnity

any breach of any of the representations and warranties made by Shoreline to Klondex in this Agreement;

any failure by Shoreline to perform any covenant or obligation of Shoreline contained herein; and

any debts, claims, liabilities and other obligation related to the Purchased Assets that occurred or (to Shoreline's knowledge) were outstanding during the period commencing on June 23, 2015 and ending on the Closing Date.

Procedure

In order to be valid, any claim in respect of the indemnification of a Loss by Klondex against Shoreline (a "Claim") shall be notified in writing to Shoreline within the time period referred to in Section 9.5 and shall specify the basis, act or event on which it is based (including the sections of this Agreement supporting its Claim), indicating the amount or an estimate of the amount claimed in respect of the Loss, if known, and be submitted together with documents which set forth, in reasonable detail, a description of the matter which could potentially give rise to indemnification hereunder (a "Notice of Claim"). Klondex shall deliver the Notice of Claim to Shoreline promptly after Klondex acquires knowledge of the event, fact or circumstance giving rise to the Claim. If Klondex does not so deliver the Notice of Claim in time for Shoreline to effectively contest the determination of any liability susceptible of being contested or to assert a right to recover an amount under applicable insurance coverage, then the liability of Shoreline shall be reduced by the amount that losses are incurred by Shoreline resulting from Klondex's failure to give such Notice of Claim on a timely basis.

Klondex shall ensure that Shoreline shall receive without unreasonable delay and be able to reasonably consult all reasonable information and documents held by Klondex, and/or their representatives, advisors, agents and/or affiliates in relation to a Notice of Claim or to the events, facts or circumstances having given rise to a Claim.

If Shoreline disputes the Notice of Claim, the Parties shall attempt to resolve their dispute amicably.

Cap. Shoreline’s aggregate obligation to indemnify Klondex and hold it harmless under this Article 9 shall in no event exceed an amount equal to $8,000,000.

Any Loss shall be indemnified only once by Shoreline, whether incurred by Klondex, Klondex Parent and/or any of their affiliates.

If any Loss is recovered by Klondex, Klondex Parent or any of their affiliates, in whole or in part, from any Person after the payment by Shoreline of any amount due under this Agreement, amounts so recovered shall be credited to Shoreline.

Each of Klondex and Klondex Parent shall take and shall cause that all reasonable steps be taken to mitigate all Losses and potential Losses and to avoid and minimize the amount of all Losses and potential Losses.
