Attention: Roger Lemaitre
 
Re: 
Financing for the acquisition of all of the shares of JCU (Canada) Exploration Company, Limited (“JCU”) and the immediate re-sale of 50% of such shares
 
This letter of agreement (“Letter Agreement”) set outs the terms of a transaction (the “Transaction”) pursuant to which Denison Mines Corp. (“Denison”) agrees to (i) finance the acquisition (the “JCU Acquisition”) by UEX Corporation (“UEX”) of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of JCU (the “JCU Shares”) pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement dated April 22, 2021, as amended (the “OURD Agreement”) with Overseas Uranium Resources Development Co., Ltd. (“OURD”) and (ii) immediately thereafter acquire 50% of such JCU Shares from UEX. Denison and UEX are collectively referred to in this Letter Agreement as the “Parties”.
 
1.
Financing Transaction
 
Denison agrees to make available to UEX a term loan in the amount of the Purchase Price (as defined under the OURD Agreement, as the same may be amended) to a maximum amount of up to
$41,000,000, to be applied by UEX in financing its acquisition of all of the JCU Shares pursuant to the OURD Agreement (the “Loan”).
 
The Loan will be available to UEX in one advance following:
 
(a)
receipt by Denison of a copy of this Letter Agreement duly executed by UEX;
 
(b)
confirmation satisfactory to Denison that all conditions to the completion of the JCU Acquisition, other than payment of the Purchase Price, have been satisfied;
 
 
(c)
delivery of all of the share certificates representing the JCU Shares into an escrow arrangement satisfactory to Denison;
 
(d)
execution by UEX of a share pledge agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”) in favour of Denison in respect of all of the JCU Shares owned by UEX (the “Pledged Shares”) and delivery to Denison (forthwith upon completion of the acquisition by UEX of the JCU Shares) of the share certificates representing the Pledged Shares and executed undated blank stock powers in respect of the same from UEX; and
 
(e)
receipt by Denison of a direction to pay executed by UEX directing payment by Denison of all of the proceeds of the advance of the Loan directly to OURD or as may otherwise be provided for under the OURD Agreement (including the escrow and withholding tax provisions).
 
The total outstanding amount of the Loan shall be repaid in full on the date falling 90 days after the advance thereof (such date, the “Initial Maturity Date”), unless UEX requests at least three business days prior to the Initial Maturity Date that Denison extend the maturity of the Loan, in which case the Loan shall be repaid in full on the date falling no more 180 days after the advance thereof.
 
If the Loan is repaid in full on the Initial Maturity Date, the Loan shall bear no interest. If however any principal amount of the Loan remains outstanding at any time after the Initial Maturity Date, such outstanding amount of the Loan shall bear interest at a rate equal to four per cent (4.0%) per annum commencing from the date of the initial advance of the Loan until the date on which such principal amount
 
51263929.8
 
 
 
 
is repaid. Accrued interest under the Loan shall only be payable on maturity of the Loan or otherwise on the date that all of the Loan obligations under this Letter Agreement may otherwise become due and payable in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Letter Agreement.
 
Any outstanding principal amounts under the Loan may be prepaid in whole or in part (together with all accrued interest thereon, if any) at any time at the option of UEX without any premium or penalty, including in connection with satisfaction of the Denison Purchase Price (as defined below).
 
All payments due and payable by UEX to Denison in respect of the Loan shall be made in immediately available funds, without any set-off, deduction or withholding of any nature whatsoever.
 
For so long as any of its obligations under the Loan remain outstanding to Denison, UEX shall:
 
(a)
pay all amounts owing under the Loan when due;
 
(b)
perform, fulfil and satisfy all other obligations of it in respect of the Loan;
 
(c)
notify Denison of any Event of Default (as defined below) promptly upon becoming aware of such Event of Default;
 
(d)
comply in all material respects with all laws and orders of any governmental authority applicable to it or its property, including all securities laws and any regulatory or legal requirements in respect of disclosure of information;
 
(e)
other than pursuant to the Pledge Agreement or as contemplated in this Letter Agreement, not sell, lease, license, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of (nor permit the expropriation, condemnation, destruction or other loss of) all or any part of its interest in JCU or the Pledged Shares;
 
(f)
not create, incur, assume or permit to exist any mortgage, deed of trust, lien (statutory or otherwise), deemed trust, pledge, hypothec, hypothecation, encumbrance, charge, security interest, royalty interest, adverse claim, defect of title, right of set off in or any other arrangement having the effect of providing security on or over any of its interests in the Pledged Shares (other than pursuant to the Pledge Agreement);
 
(g)
not merge into or amalgamate or consolidate with any other person if such arrangement would negatively impact, invalidate, cancel or otherwise obviate any of its obligations under this Letter Agreement and provided that any merged, amalgamated or continuing corporation provides written confirmation satisfactory to Denison, acting reasonably, that it is liable for the obligations of UEX under this Letter Agreement and the Pledge Agreement; and
 
(h)
not amend or change its constating documents or by-laws in a manner that would materially adversely affect Denison or Denison’s interest in the Pledged Shares or under this Letter Agreement or the Pledge Agreement.
 
UEX shall, upon the request of Denison, duly execute and deliver or cause to be duly executed and delivered to Denison such further instruments and do and cause to be done such further acts as may be necessary or proper in the reasonable opinion of Denison to carry out more effectually the provisions and purposes of this Letter Agreement as its relates to the Loan.
 
2.
Events of Default
 
If any of the following events (each of which constitutes an “Event of Default”) shall occur and be continuing:
 
51263929.8
 
 
 
 
(a)
UEX does not pay within three business days of the due date the principal amount (and any interest if applicable) payable by it under the Loan;
 
(b)
UEX fails to consummate the sale of 50% of the JCU Shares to Denison forthwith after the Closing of the JCU Acquisition;
 
(c)
UEX fails to comply with any other provision of this Letter Agreement as its relates to the Loan under Section 1 and if such non-compliance is capable of remedy within 15 business days, UEX does not remedy the same within 15 business days of being required to do so by Denison;
 
(d)
the institution by UEX of proceedings to be adjudicated a bankrupt or any similar proceedings or the seeking by it of relief under any applicable federal, provincial, state or other law relating to bankruptcy or relief of debtors, or the filing by it of any such petition or to the appointment under any such law of a receiver, receiver-manager, liquidator, assignee, trustee or other similar official of UEX of all or substantially all of its property, or the making by it of a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due;
 
(e)
any proceedings are commenced by a person for the bankruptcy or any similar proceedings of UEX, unless the same is being contested actively and diligently in good faith by appropriate and timely proceedings and is dismissed, vacated or stayed within thirty (30) days of institution thereof; or
 
(f)
the entry of a decree or order by a court having jurisdiction adjudging UEX bankrupt or approving as properly filed an application or a petition seeking bankruptcy in respect of UEX under any applicable law relating to bankruptcy or relief of debtors, or appointing under any such law a receiver, receiver-manager, liquidator, assignee, trustee or other similar official of UEX of all or substantially all of its property, unless the same is being contested actively and diligently in good faith by appropriate and timely proceedings and is dismissed, vacated or stayed within thirty (30) days of institution thereof,
 
then Denison may at any time thereafter by notice to UEX declare that the total amount of the Loan and all other amounts payable thereunder are immediately due and payable, the Loan shall thereupon terminate and Denison may pursue any rights it may have against UEX under the Pledge Agreement, it being understood and agreed that, following the completion of the JCU Acquisition, Denison’s sole recourse against UEX shall be against the Pledged Shares pursuant to the Pledge Agreement and Denison shall have no claim against the assets of UEX as a whole or any assets other than the Pledged Shares.
 
3.
Acquisition Transaction
 
UEX hereby agrees to sell, assign and transfer to Denison and Denison hereby agrees to purchase from UEX, forthwith after the closing of the JCU Acquisition (the “Closing”), 50% of the JCU Shares free and clear of all encumbrances, for the Denison Purchase Price (as defined below), in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Letter Agreement.
 
The purchase price (the “Denison Purchase Price”) for 50% of the JCU Shares shall be the sum of 50% of the Purchase Price. The Denison Purchase Price will be paid by way of set-off against the Loan, whereby Denison will apply an amount of the Denison Purchase Price against the outstanding balance of the Loan and thereby reduce the total principal amount of the Loan by such amount. Upon such application, UEX will be deemed to have repaid and redeemed the applicable principal amount of the Loan in consideration for the sale, assignment and transfer to Denison of 50% of the JCU Shares.
 
If UEX determines in its sole discretion not to borrow the Loan and decides to finance the consideration payable pursuant to the JCU Acquisition by other means, then the Denison Purchase Price will be paid by
 
51263929.8
 
 
 
 
Denison to or as may be directed by UEX at the Closing and the provisions in this Letter Agreement pertaining to the Loan shall be of no force or effect.
 
UEX covenants and agrees to assign forthwith after the Closing, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, 50% of its rights for indemnification under the OURD Agreement to Denison, so that Denison will have the benefit of the representations and warranties provided by OURD under the OURD Agreement and may assert any claims for a breach of such representations and warranties directly against OURD on its own behalf. In the event that such rights are not assigned or assignable by UEX to Denison, UEX covenants and agrees to indemnify and hold Denison harmless from any losses that Denison may suffer (directly or indirectly) to the extent of 50% of UEX’s net recovery as a result of a breach by OURD of a representation or warranty given by OURD in favour of UEX under the OURD Agreement.
 
4.
Representations, Warranties & Survival
 
The Parties hereby make the representations and warranties set out in Schedule A.
 
The representations and warranties shall survive the Closing and the payment of the Denison Purchase Price and, notwithstanding the Closing and the payment of the Denison Purchase Price, and notwithstanding the waiver of any condition hereunder, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Parties herein shall (except where otherwise specifically provided in this Letter Agreement) survive the Closing and shall continue in full force and effect indefinitely.
 
5.
Shareholders Agreement
 
Forthwith after the Closing, Denison, UEX and JCU will enter into a shareholders’ agreement governing the relationship of Denison and UEX with respect to the management of JCU (the “Shareholders’ Agreement”). The Shareholders’ Agreement shall include the principal terms set forth in Schedule B hereto.
 
6.

In addition to the other terms set forth in this Letter Agreement, completion of the Transaction will be subject to a number of conditions precedent, including:
 
(a)

(d)
such other conditions as are customarily used for transactions of this nature.
 
7.

Denison will be permitted to conduct all such due diligence in relation to the foregoing that it may reasonably require, and in that regard, UEX will make available to Denison, on a timely basis, all information necessary in order for Denison to complete such Due Diligence
 
51263929.8

11.
Further Rights of the Parties
 
In the event that the OURD Agreement is terminated or the JCU Acquisition is not completed, Denison and UEX covenant and agree that if either Party wishes to make another offer to any of JCU, OURD or OURD’s shareholders to complete a similar acquisition (each, and “Alternative Transaction”), such Party (the “Offering Party”) will first provide the other Party (the “Receiving Party”) with the opportunity to participate in such Alternative Transaction such that the Parties interests (directly or indirectly) in JCU
 
51263929.8
 
 
 
 
following completion of the Alternative Transaction are on a 50/50 basis (or such other basis as may be mutually agreed between the Parties). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the OURD Agreement is terminated or the JCU Acquisition is not completed as a result of a breach of this Letter Agreement by either Denison or UEX, then such breaching Party shall not have any rights as a Receiving Party under this Section 11, and the non-defaulting Party shall have no obligation to offer the defaulting Party the right to participate in any Alternative Transaction.
 
An Offering Party that intends to enter into an Alternative Transaction will provide written notice (the “Notice”) to the other Receiving Party setting out the terms and conditions of the Alternative Transaction and the Receiving Party will have 10 days to elect to participate in the Alternative Transaction on a 50/50 basis (or such other basis as may be mutually agreed between the Parties). If the Receiving Party does not elect to participate within the timeframe set out above, the Offering Party will have 120 days to complete the Alternative Transaction substantially on the terms and conditions set out in the Notice. If the Offering Party does not complete the Alternative Transaction within such 120 day period, or if there is a material change to the terms and conditions (which, for greater certainty, shall be deemed to include any reduction to the consideration), the rights of the Receiving Party under this Section 11 shall recommence.
 
[Redacted - Commercially sensitive information pertaining to transaction terms]
 
 
This Section 11 shall not apply in the event that Denison terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 14(b) or 14(c).

A “Material Loss” shall mean all costs, expenses, losses, claims, demands, damages or liabilities, of any nature or kind including attorneys' fees and other costs of litigation (either threatened or pending) arising out of or based on a breach by a Party (“Indemnifying Party”) of this Letter Agreement, including the breach of representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Letter Agreement and any and all actions, suits, proceedings, claims, legal and other expenses related or incidental thereto.
