As soon as practicable following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement, and provided that this Agreement has not been terminated pursuant to Section 9, the parties to this Agreement will hold a closing (the “Closing”) for the purpose of confirming the consummation of the Merger at a time and date mutually agreed upon by the parties. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the Closing will take place at the offices of the lawyers for Centrus.

               2.4                 Effect of the Merger . The Merger will have the effect set forth in Section 92A.250 of Nevada Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Centrus Sub and Royal Mines will vest in the Surviving Corporation without further act or deed, and all debts, liabilities and duties of Centrus Sub and Royal Mines will become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

               2.5                 Certificate of Incorporation; Bylaws .

                                   (a)                The certificate of incorporation of Centrus Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time will continue unchanged, except to the extent amended by the Articles of Merger, and will be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with the terms thereof and in accordance with applicable law.

                                   (b)                At the Effective Time, the bylaws of Centrus Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, will be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with the terms thereof and in accordance with applicable law.

               2.6                 Directors and Officers . The director and officer of the Surviving Corporation after the Effective Time will be William Charles Tao.

               2.7                 Taking of Necessary Action . If after the Effective Time any further action is necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation with full title to all assets, rights, approvals, immunities and franchises of either Centrus Sub or Royal Mines, the officers and directors, or the former officers and directors, as the case may be, of Centrus, Centrus Sub and Royal Mines and the Surviving Corporation will take all such necessary action.

               2.8                 Merger Consideration . Each share of Royal Mines common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Royal Mines Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares, as defined in Section 2.10) will, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into one share of Centrus Common Stock (as defined in Section 5.3) . All certificates representing the shares of Centrus Common Stock issued on effectiveness of the Merger will be endorsed with the following legend pursuant to the Securities Act in order to reflect that the fact that the shares of Centrus Common Stock will be issued to the shareholders of Royal Mines pursuant to exemptions or safe harbours from the registration requirements of the Securities Act:

For holders of Royal Mines Common Stock resident in the United States:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE "ACT"), AND HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT PROVIDED BY REGULATION D PROMULGATED UNDER THE ACT. SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE REOFFERED FOR SALE OR RESOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT.”

For holders of Royal Mines Common Stock resident outside the United States:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE "ACT"), AND HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT PROVIDED BY REGULATION S PROMULGATED UNDER THE ACT. SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE REOFFERED FOR SALE OR RESOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF REGULATION S, PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT, OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT. HEDGING TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE CONDUCTED UNLESS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACT.”

               2.9                 Stock Certificate Conversion Procedure . After the Effective Time, each holder of Royal Mines Common Stock will be entitled to exchange his, her, or its certificate representing the Royal Mines Common Stock (“Royal Mines Stock Certificate”) for a certificate representing the number of shares of Centrus Common Stock into which the number of shares of Royal Mines Common Stock previously represented by such certificate surrendered have been converted pursuant to Section 2.8 of this Agreement. Each holder of Royal Mines Common Stock may exchange his, her or its Royal Mines Stock Certificate by delivering such Royal Mines Stock Certificate to Centrus duly endorsed in blank (or accompanied by duly executed stock powers duly endorsed in blank), in each case in proper form for transfer, with signatures guaranteed, and, if applicable, with all stock transfer and any other required documentary stamps affixed thereto and with appropriate instructions to allow the transfer agent to issue certificates for the Centrus Common Stock to the holder thereof together with: (i) a Regulation S Investment Letter (if such holder is resident outside of the United States), a copy of which is attached hereto in Schedule 2.9A , or (ii) a Regulation D Investment Letter (if such holder is resident in the United States), a copy of which is attached hereto in Schedule 2.9B . Until surrendered as contemplated by this

4

Section 2.9, each Royal Mines Stock Certificate will be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive Centrus Common Stock certificates representing the number of whole shares of Centrus Common Stock into which the shares of Royal Mines Common Stock formerly represented by such certificate have been converted. Upon receipt of such duly endorsed Royal Mines Stock Certificates, Centrus will cause the issuance of the number of shares of Centrus Common Stock as converted pursuant to Section 2.8 of this Agreement.

               2.10                 Appraisal Rights . Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Royal Mines Common Stock (the “Dissenting Shares”) that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by stockholders who did not vote in favor of the Merger and who comply with all of the relevant provisions of Sections 92A.300 to 92A.500 of Nevada Law (the “Dissenting Stockholders”) will not be converted into or be exchangeable for the right to receive Centrus Common Stock, unless and until such holders have failed to perfect or have effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal under Nevada Law. Royal Mines will give Centrus (i) immediate oral notice followed by prompt written notice of any written demands for appraisal of any shares of Royal Mines Common Stock, attempted withdrawals of any such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to Nevada Law and received by Royal Mines relating to stockholders' rights of appraisal, and (ii) will keep Centrus informed of the status of all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under Nevada Law. If any Dissenting Stockholder fails to perfect or will have effectively withdrawn or lost the right to appraisal, the shares of Royal Mines Common Stock held by such Dissenting Stockholder will thereupon be treated as though such shares had been converted into the right to receive Centrus Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.8 of this Agreement.

               2.11                 No Further Ownership Rights in Royal Mines Common Stock . The promise to exchange the Royal Mines Common Stock for shares of Centrus Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement will be deemed to have been given in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Royal Mines Common Stock, and there will be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of Royal Mines of the shares of Royal Mines Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Royal Mines Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will cease to have any rights with respect to such Royal Mines Common Stock, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by law.

               2.12                 Distributions with Respect to Unsurrendered Royal Mines Common Stock . No dividends or other distributions by Centrus with a record date after the Effective Time will be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Royal Mines Stock Certificate until the surrender of such Royal Mines Stock Certificate in accordance with Section 2.9 of this Agreement. Following surrender of any such Royal Mines Stock Certificate, Centrus will pay to the holder of the Centrus Common Stock certificate issued in exchange the Royal Mines Stock Certificate, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the amount of any dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time and paid before the time of such surrender with respect to such Centrus Common Stock which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.8 of this Agreement, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of any dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and with a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such Centrus Common Stock.

               2.13                 No Liability . Neither Centrus, Centrus Sub, nor the Surviving Corporation will be liable to any person in respect of shares of Royal Mines Common Stock, or dividends or distributions with respect thereto, pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. If any Royal Mines Stock Certificate has not have been surrendered prior to seven years after the Effective Time (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which any Royal Mines Stock Certificate, or any dividends or distributions payable to the holder of such Royal Mines Stock Certificate would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any governmental body or authority), any such Centrus Common Stock, dividends or distributions in respect of such Royal Mines Stock Certificate will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any person previously entitled to such certificate

5

               2.14                 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates . If any certificate representing Royal Mines Common Stock has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such certificate or agreement to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Centrus, the posting by such person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Centrus may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such certificate, Centrus will cause to be issued in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the applicable Centrus Common Stock deliverable in respect thereof, pursuant to Section 2.8 of this Agreement.
