Title:

Incentive Stock Option

This option is intended to be an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code and will be interpreted accordingly.  If you cease to be an employee of the Company, its parent or a Subsidiary (“Employee”) but continue to provide Service, this option will be deemed a nonstatutory stock option three months after you cease to be an Employee.  In addition, to the extent that all or part of this option exceeds the $100,000 rule of Section 422(d) of the Internal Revenue Code, this option or the lesser excess part will be deemed to be a nonstatutory stock option.

Vesting

This option is only exercisable before it expires and then only with respect to the vested portion of the option.  Subject to the preceding sentence, you may exercise this option, in whole or in part, to purchase a whole number of vested shares not less than 100 shares, unless the number of shares purchased is the total number available for purchase under the option, by following the procedures set forth in the Plan and below in this Agreement.

Your right to purchase shares of Stock under this option vests as to one-third (1/3) of the total number of shares covered by this option, as shown on the cover sheet, on each of the first, second and third  anniversaries of the Grant Date, provided you then continue in Service.  The resulting aggregate number of vested shares will be rounded to the nearest whole number, and you cannot vest in more than the number of shares covered by this option.

No additional vesting shall occur after your Service has terminated for any reason.

Termination after Long-Term Service

Notwithstanding the foregoing vesting rules, if you incur a termination of Service by the Company other than for “Cause” (as defined in the Employment Agreement), at any time after you have provided fifteen (15) years of Service to the Company, you shall be one hundred percent (100%) vested in this option as of the date of such termination of Service.

Termination without Cause, Good Reason or Non-Renewal of Employment Agreement

Notwithstanding the foregoing vesting rules, if (i) the Company terminates your Service or your Employment Agreement without “Cause” (as defined in your Employment Agreement) during the term of your Employment Agreement, (ii) you terminate your Service or your Employment Agreement for “Good Reason” (as defined in your Employment Agreement) during the term of your Employment Agreement, or (iii) your Service is terminated upon the Company’s election not to renew the term for one of the four successive one-year renewal terms pursuant to Section 2 of your Employment Agreement, then, after the Company’s receipt of the Severance and Release Documents (as defined in your Employment Agreement) you shall be 100% vested in this option as of the date of the Company’s receipt of such Severance and Release Documents.

As used herein, the term "Employment Agreement" shall mean that certain Employment Agreement, as amended, between you and the Company dated [date], as amended, as the same may be amended after the date hereof.

Term

Your option will expire in any event at the close of business at Company headquarters on the day of the 10th anniversary of the Grant Date, as shown on the cover sheet.  Your option will expire earlier if your Service terminates, as described below.

Regular Termination

If your Service terminates for any reason, other than death, Disability or Cause, your option will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the 90th day after your termination date.

Termination for Cause

If your Service is terminated for Cause, then you shall immediately forfeit all rights to your option and the option shall immediately expire.

Death

If your Service terminates because of your death, then your option will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the date twelve (12) months after the date of death.  During that twelve month period, your estate or heirs may exercise the vested portion of your option.

In addition, if you die during the 90‑day period described in connection with a regular termination (i.e., a termination of your Service not on account of your death, Disability or Cause),  and a vested portion of your option has not yet been exercised, then your option will instead expire on the date twelve (12) months after your termination date.  In such a case, during the period following your death up to the date twelve (12) months after your termination date, your estate or heirs may exercise the vested portion of your option.

Disability

If your Service terminates because of your Disability, then your option will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the date twelve (12) months after your termination date.

Extension of Expiration Date

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) you are terminated pursuant to Sections 5(a), (c), (d) or (e) of your Employment Agreement, and (ii) you are precluded from selling in the open market any shares of Stock underlying your option for any portion of the period of time between the date of termination of your Service and the expiration date of your option set forth in the section entitled “Regular Termination,” “Death” or “Disability” above, as applicable, by reason of any lock-up agreement restricting your ability to sell such Stock in the open market or under the Company’s insider trading or similar plan as then in effect (whether because a trading window is not open or you are otherwise restricted from trading), then the expiration date for the option shall be extended for a period of time equal to the number of days that you were precluded from selling such Stock during the exercise period, provided, however, that the expiration date shall not be extended pursuant to this section beyond the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Grant Date.

Leaves of Absence

For purposes of this option award, the impact of any leave of absence on your Service shall be determined in accordance with Company policies and procedures and Applicable Laws.

Notice of Exercise

When you wish to exercise this option, you must notify the Company by filing the proper “Notice of Exercise” form at the address given on the form.  Your notice must specify how many shares you wish to purchase (in a parcel of at least 100 shares generally).  Your notice must also specify how your shares of Stock should be registered (in your name only or in your and your spouse’s names as joint tenants with right of survivorship).  The notice will be effective when it is received by the Company.

If someone else wants to exercise this option after your death, that person must prove to the Company’s satisfaction that he or she is entitled to do so.

Form of Payment

When you submit your notice of exercise, you must include payment of the option price for the shares you are purchasing.  Payment may be made in one (or a combination) of the following forms:

Cash, your personal check, a cashier’s check, a money order, wire transfer or another cash equivalent acceptable to the Company.

Shares of Stock which are already owned by you.  The value of the shares, determined as of the effective date of the option exercise, will be applied to the option price.

By delivery (on a form prescribed by the Company) of an irrevocable direction to a licensed securities broker acceptable to the Company (a “Qualified Broker”) to sell Stock and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to the Company in payment of the aggregate option price and any withholding taxes (the “Net Exercise”).

Withholding Taxes

You agree, as a condition of this grant, that you will make acceptable arrangements consistent with Company policies and procedures to pay any withholding or other taxes that may be due as a result of this grant or the exercise, vesting, settlement or issuance of shares related to this grant.  You may satisfy such withholding or other tax obligations by remitting cash payments to the Company within the time periods specified by Company policies and procedures or, to the extent permitted under Applicable Laws, by causing the Company or its Affiliate to withhold shares of Stock otherwise issuable to you as a result of this grant.  The shares of Stock so withheld shall have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to such withholding obligations.

In the event that the Company determines that any withholding or other tax is required and you have not made satisfactory arrangements to satisfy such obligations within the time periods specified by Company policies and procedures, the Company shall have the right to:  (i) require such payments from you; (ii) withhold such amounts from other payments due to you from the Company or any Affiliate; or (iii) withhold shares of Stock otherwise issuable to you as a result of this grant.  Any shares of Stock so withheld shall have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to such withholding obligations.      

Transfer of Option

During your lifetime, only you (or, in the event of your legal incapacity or incompetency, your guardian or legal representative) may exercise the option.  You cannot transfer or assign this option.  For instance, you may not sell this option or use it as security for a loan.  If you attempt to do any of these things, this option will immediately become invalid.  You may, however, dispose of this option in your will or it may be transferred upon your death by the laws of descent and distribution.

Regardless of any marital property settlement agreement, the Company is not obligated to honor a notice of exercise from your spouse, nor is the Company obligated to recognize your spouse’s interest in your option in any other way.

Retention Rights

Neither your option nor this Agreement give you the right to be retained by the Company (or any parent, Subsidiaries or Affiliates) in any capacity.  The Company (and any parent, Subsidiaries or Affiliates) reserve the right to terminate your Service at any time and for any reason.

Shareholder Rights

You, or your estate or heirs, have no rights as a shareholder of the Company until the shares of Stock received pursuant to the exercise of your option have been issued.  No adjustments are made for dividends or other rights if the applicable record date occurs before your shares are issued, except as described in the Plan.

Forfeiture of Rights

If you should take actions in competition with the Company, the Company shall have the right to cause a forfeiture of your rights, including, but not limited to, the right to cause: (i) a forfeiture of any outstanding option, and (ii) with respect to the period commencing twelve (12) months prior to your termination of Service with the Company and ending twelve (12) months following such termination of Service (A) a forfeiture of any gain recognized by you upon the exercise of an option or (B) a forfeiture of any Stock acquired by you upon the exercise of an option (but the Company will pay you the option price without interest).  Unless otherwise specified in an employment or other agreement between the Company and you, you take actions in competition with the Company if, within one year following your termination of Service, you directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, join or control, or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or are a proprietor, director, officer, stockholder, member, partner or an employee or agent of, or a consultant to any business, firm, corporation, partnership or other entity that is in the business of creating, financing, acquiring, investing in and managing precious metal royalties, precious metal streams and similar interests.  Under the prior sentence, ownership of less than 1% of the securities of a public company shall not be treated as an action in competition with the Company.

Adjustments

In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a similar change in the Stock, the number of shares covered by this option and the option price per share shall be adjusted if required pursuant to the Plan. Your option shall be subject to the terms of the agreement of merger, liquidation or reorganization in the event the Company is subject to such corporate activity.

Applicable Law

This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of Delaware, other than any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.
