- 20 -

4.7

Sandstorm shall have the unilateral right to extend the term of the Expropriation Event Abeyance Period with respect to both a Full Expropriation Event and a Partial Expropriation Event (which unilateral right shall be deemed to have been exercised by Sandstorm without any further or other act by Sandstorm, unless Sandstorm shall provide written notice to Entrée that the Expropriation Event Abeyance Period has terminated), until such time as Sandstorm unilaterally elects to terminate such extended term (i.e. the Extended Expropriation Event Abeyance Period) by written notice of such termination given to Entrée. If the term of the Expropriation Event Abeyance Period shall be so extended, then:

(1)

in the case of a Full Expropriation Event, from and after the Extension Date and during the Extended Expropriation Event Abeyance Period, Sandstorm Payable Metals and, if applicable, Sandstorm Accrued Metals and Sandstorm Expropriated Metals shall no longer continue to accrue in accordance with this Agreement;

(2)

in the case where the Extended Expropriation Event Abeyance Period relates to a Partial Expropriation Event, on the Extension Date the Expropriation Percentage Adjustment shall be made in accordance with section 4.9(3) (without, at that time, the requirement for Entrée to refund a portion of the Refundable Deposit in accordance with section 4.9(1)) and such adjustment shall apply during the Extended Expropriation Event Abeyance Period notwithstanding the fact that the Expropriation Event Expiration Date has not transpired;

(3)

subject to section 4.7(2) and from the Extension Date until the date that the Extended Expropriation Event Abeyance Period is at an end, sections 4.9, 4.10, and 10.2(7) shall not be operative or applicable;

(4)

in the case of a Partial Expropriation Event, if at any time after the Expropriation Event Expiration Date, and after the application of the Expropriation Percentage Adjustment in section 4.9, an event shall occur such that Entrée’s share of Production from the Property shall increase and be readjusted, then Sandstorm shall further adjust or readjust, as the case may be, the Sandstorm Payable Metals to be delivered by Entrée on or after the date of such event by an amount determined by the application of the following formula: Entrée’s newly increased or readjusted share of Production from the Property divided by Entrée’s then current share of Production from the Property, as determined in accordance with section 4.9, multiplied by the numbers set forth in each of sections 1.1(111)(a) through 1.1(111)(h) in the definition of Sandstorm Payable Metals; and

(5)

in the case of a Partial Expropriation Event, if at any time after the Expropriation Event Expiration Date, Entrée shall receive cash or other readily measurable consideration as compensation for damages or losses suffered as a result of the Partial Expropriation Event, then forthwith upon receipt of such cash or other readily measurable consideration, Entrée shall pay to Sandstorm in cash without set off, deduction or defalcation an amount equal to the cash or other readily measurable consideration that Entrée has received, multiplied by the Sandstorm Payable Metals that Sandstorm would have received had the Partial Expropriation Event not occurred, divided by the amount of Entrée’s Share of Production that Entrée would have received had the Partial Expropriation Event not occurred, less the Purchase Price Entrée would have received for such Sandstorm Payable Metals.

- 21 -

4.8	If sections 4.7(4) or 4.7(5) apply and a portion of the Refundable Deposit has been refunded by Entrée pursuant to section 4.9(1) (the “Refunded Deposit”) then:

(1)

in the case where section 4.7(4) applies and the Partial Expropriation Event is overturned or unwound in its entirety, then the Refunded Deposit shall be credited in the manner set out in section 4.9(4)(b) (excluding section 4.9(4)(b)(i)) as if a reference to Excess Sandstorm Payable Metals was a reference to the Refunded Deposit;

(2)

in the case where section 4.7(4) applies and the Partial Expropriation Event is partially overturned or unwound, then a proportionate amount of the Refunded Deposit shall be credited in the manner set out in section 4.9(4)(b) (excluding section 4.9(4)(b)(i)) as if a reference to Excess Sandstorm Payable Metals was a reference to the Refunded Deposit;

(3)

in the case where section 4.7(5) applies, then all or a proportionate amount (as the case may be) of the Refunded Deposit shall be credited in the manner set out in section 4.9(4)(b) (excluding section 4.9(4)(b)(i)) as if a reference to Excess Sandstorm Payable Metals was a reference to the Refunded Deposit.

4.9	In the case of a Partial Expropriation Event, if, at the end of the Expropriation Event Abeyance Period or the Extended Expropriation Event Abeyance Period (the “Expropriation Event Expiration Date”), the Partial Expropriation Event shall remain in effect, then:

(1)

if an Unearned Balance exists as at the Expropriation Event Expiration Date, within 10 Business Days, Entrée shall, upon receipt of written notice from Sandstorm to do so, refund a portion of the Refundable Deposit in cash to Sandstorm equal to the Refundable Deposit multiplied by one minus the Expropriation Percentage Adjustment, up to a maximum amount that is the then Unearned Balance;

(2)

if Entrée shall not make such refund to Sandstorm within the 10 Business Days referred to in section 4.9(1), then Entrée shall be deemed to be in default of this Agreement pursuant to Article 10 and the provisions of Article 10, including as to the payment of the Entrée Default Fee, shall be applicable;

(3)

if an Unearned Balance exists as at the Expropriation Event Expiration Date, after Sandstorm shall have received the partial refund of the Refundable Deposit set forth in section 4.9(1) and in any other case upon the Expropriation Event Expiration Date, Sandstorm shall adjust or readjust (as the case may be) the Sandstorm Payable Metals by an amount determined by the application of the following formula: Entrée’s effective new share of Production from the Property divided by Entrée’s Share of Production from the Property (the “Expropriation Percentage Adjustment”) multiplied by the numbers set forth in each of sections 1.1(111)(a) through 1.1(111)(h) in the definition of Sandstorm Payable Metals. For further clarification and the avoidance of doubt, it is intended that this equation shall result in the amount of the Sandstorm Payable Metals being adjusted by the same percentage that Entrée’s effective share of Production from the Property has been adjusted by the Partial Expropriation Event. The new percentages derived as a result of the calculation of the Expropriation Percentage Adjustment set forth in this section shall be effective retroactively from the beginning of the Expropriation Event Abeyance Period. A Partial Expropriation Event shall not adjust the amount of Sandstorm Accrued Metals to be delivered to Sandstorm; and

- 22 -

(4)

if as a result of the Expropriation Percentage Adjustment Entrée determines that during the term of the Expropriation Event Abeyance Period it has delivered to Sandstorm an amount of Sandstorm Payable Metals greater than the amount of Sandstorm Payable Metals Entrée would have delivered to Sandstorm had the Expropriation Percentage Adjustment taken effect at the commencement of the Expropriation Event Abeyance Period (the “Excess Sandstorm Payable Metals”) then:

(a)

Entrée shall promptly give notice in writing to Sandstorm which notice shall detail the amount of the Excess Sandstorm Payable Metals claimed and how that amount has been calculated; and

(b)

unless Sandstorm, in accordance with Article 17, disputes all or a portion of the amount of the Excess Sandstorm Payable Metals specified in the notice given by Entrée under section 4.9(4)(a), the Excess Sandstorm Payable Metals or the portion of the Excess Sandstorm Payable Metals not in dispute (as the case may be) shall be credited as follows:

(i)

firstly, set off against the refund set forth in section 4.9(1);

(ii)

secondly, against the amount (if any) of Sandstorm Accrued Metals then outstanding;

(iii)

thirdly, against the amount (if any) of Sandstorm Expropriated Metals then outstanding; and

(iv)

thereafter, against future deliveries of Sandstorm Payable Metals to be made by Entrée to Sandstorm under this Agreement.

4.10

If, at the end of an Expropriation Event Abeyance Period or the Extended Expropriation Event Abeyance Period (as the case may be), a Full Expropriation Event shall remain in existence, then Entrée shall be deemed to be in default of this Agreement pursuant to section 10.2(7) and the provisions of Article 10, including as to the payment of the Entrée Default Fee, shall be applicable.

TERM

5.1	The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Execution Date and subject to section 5.2 and Articles 8 and 10, shall continue until the date that is 50 years after the Execution Date (the “Term”).
