c. Purchaser expressly agrees that this Agreement shall be administrated by a trust (“Trust”) as so identified in Purchaser’s Liberty Coin Network account, where Trust and trustee (“Trustee”) are independent from, and unaffiliated with the Liberty Coin Network or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates, contractors, service providers, or other related entities.
d. Liberty Coin’s collateralized protection as set forth in this Agreement is a central pillar of its capacity to protect value and ensure on-time delivery of physical Liberty Coins to each Liberty Coin Holder.
e. The Liberty Coin Network is operated by and for its members. All prospective Liberty Coin owners must be approved by a Liberty Coin Network Membership Review Board prior to purchasing Liberty Coins.
f. The Trust is non-statutory trust that charges custodial fees and various other fees and costs to facilitate Liberty Coin collateralization transactions and other related services (“Collateralization Fees”). Liberty Coin Holders are required to pay Trust imposed Collateralization Fees, where any unpaid Collateralization Fees shall be satisfied in full by Trust through seizure, sale, and liquidation of Purchaser’s Liberty Coins.

3. Property.
a. Trust holds previously mined gold-containing ore, partially processed tailings, and unprocessed mineralized rock (“Pre-Recycled Gold-Ore”) lying on the surface of one or more United States gold mines (“Property”).
b. The amount of Pre-Recycled Gold-Ore collateralizing Liberty Coin Holders holdings is anticipated to increase over the course of each mine’s recycling operations two ways: (1) measurement, testing, and valuation of additional stockpiles of Gold-Containing Ore lying on the surface of the each mine premises comprising the Property, and (2) measurement, testing, and valuation of stockpiles of Gold-Containing Ore lying on the surface of one or more additional mining claims/properties added by Trust to the Property.
c. Trust expressly and unconditionally agrees it shall protect the Property for the exclusive benefit of each Liberty Coin Holder, and ensure a 1:1 minimum gold-ore collateralization ratio is maintained for all pre-delivery Liberty Coins (“Gold-Ore Collateralization”).

i. The minimum independently estimated total number of oz. of Certified 99.95% Pure Gold contained in the Pre-Recycled Gold-Ore held in Trust shall at any point in time equal to the total physical ounces of gold purchased by all Liberty Coin Holders (“1:1 Minimum Gold Ore Collateralization Ratio”). In the event the 1:1 Minimum Gold Ore Collateralization Ratio is not maintained, Trust shall promptly acquire additional gold-containing ore from one or more unrelated mining claims/properties in accordance with section 3., h. above and add it to the Property in sufficient quantity to cure the deficiency.
j. Gold-containing ore from unrelated mining claims/properties may be added to the Property held in Trust (“Gold-Ore Additions”).

k. Trust expressly and unconditionally agrees that the only Pre-Recycled Gold-Ore removed from the Property shall be Pre-Recycled Gold-Ore to (A) fulfill the Certified 99.95% Pure Gold required to produce all Liberty Coins which have been sold and have not been physically delivered to purchasers, and (B) an additional quantity of Pre-Recycled Gold-Ore refined to Certified 99.95% Pure Gold required to pay additional Trust approved transaction costs including commissions, fees, and other operating and administrative expenses.

b. Purchaser’s Liberty Coins are collateralized by Pre-Recycled Gold-Ore held in Trust, where Purchaser shall be entitled to recover 100% of the amount of independently Certified 99.95% Pure Gold than contained in the Liberty Coins which are in Default.
i. Default Example. In the event 1,000 Liberty Coins each containing one (1) troy oz. of Certified 99.95% Pure Gold were in Default, Purchaser would be entitled to legally claim, transport, process, refine, and retain 1,000 net troy oz. of Certified 99.95% Pure Gold independently produced by Purchaser’s third-party contract gold processor. In the event of Default, there are multiple qualified mine services firms operating in the that can supply turnkey gold processing, refining, and project management services to Purchaser. One or more gold processing, refining, and project management firms may work for a percentage of the gold produced. Contact Trust for additional information regarding Default gold processing at [email protected].
c. This Agreement creates a legally enforceable claim against the Pre-Recycled Gold-Ore for Purchaser’s Liberty Coins (“Lien”).
d. In the event of Default, Purchaser shall with the assistance of Trustee take physical possession of, and ownership title to Pre-Recycled Gold-Ore equal to the amount of Pre-Recycled Gold-Ore necessary to produce the Liberty Coins in Default (“Default Pre-Recycled Gold-Ore Seizure”).
e. The amount of the Default Pre-Recycled Gold-Ore Seizure shall be determined by industry standard testing, assays, and surveys performed by qualified independent third-party geologists, laboratories, and surveyors, each with a minimum of 10-years of experience in the gold testing and valuation industry (“Gold Valuation”). Purchaser and Trust shall each pay for its own independent Gold Valuation, where the results of each Gold Valuation shall be averaged together to determine the amount of Default Pre-Recycled Gold-Ore Seizure.
f. Purchaser shall pay its costs to recycle and refine its Default Pre-Recycled Gold-Ore Seizure to independently certified 99.95% pure gold (“Default Gold Recycling Cost”). Gold-Ore Owner shall also pay all fees and costs related to Default, including reasonable costs of Trustee to assist Purchaser’s seizure, survey, and recycling of Default Pre-Recycled Gold-Ore Seizure (“Additional Default Costs”). Purchaser expressly and unconditionally agrees that its sole recourse and legal remedy in the event of Default is enforcement of the Lien and obtaining the Default Pre-Recycled Gold Ore Seizure.
g. Purchaser expressly and unconditionally agrees that Pre-Recycled Gold Ore is legally defined as personal property the same as piles of gravel or stone, where its ownership (legal title) is transferred from Trust to Gold-Ore Owner in Default using this Agreement as a bill of sale (“Bill of Sale”).
h. Upon Default and enforcement of Purchaser’s Lien, this Agreement shall serve as a legally enforceable Bill of Sale granting Purchaser legal title to Pre-Recycled Gold Ore lying on the surface of the Property to produce the Physical Ounces of Gold in Default (“Pre-Recycled Gold-Ore Ownership Claim”).
i. The Pre-Recycled Gold-Ore Ownership Claim as directed by Trust shall generally be a contiguous area within one or more piles of Gold-Containing Ore lying on the surface of the Property.
j. The specific location of the physical Gold-Containing Ore piles, or portion(s) thereof, comprising the Pre-Recycled Gold-Ore Ownership Claim shall be determined by Trust in its sole and absolute discretion.
k. Purchaser shall pay all costs of surveying and delineating the perimeter of each Pre-Recycled Gold-Ore pile or portion thereof comprising the Pre-Recycled Gold-Ore Ownership Claim which shall be accurately marked with wooden stakes, where each stake’s location shall be shown on the survey using industry standard metes and bounds measurements and GPS coordinates (“Survey”).
l. Upon physical delivery and receipt of the independently Certified 99.95% Pure Gold comprising the Liberty Coins in Default, Purchaser shall automatically release its Pre-Recycled Gold-Ore Ownership Claim to any remaining Pre-Recycled Gold-Ore it seized lying on the Property and any unfinished and finished gold-containing material and finished independently Certified 99.95% Pure Gold that has been removed from the Property and is in any stage of the recycling, refining, or minting process in offsite locations.
m. Purchaser expressly agrees it shall have 24-months from the original date of Default to recycle the independently certified 99.95% pure gold comprising the Liberty Coins in Default from its Pre-Recycled Gold-Ore Ownership Claim (“Default Gold Recycling Period”). After termination of the Default Gold Recycling Period Purchaser’s Pre-Recycled Gold-Ore Ownership Claim shall automatically terminate and revert to Trust for any remaining Pre-Recycled Gold-Ore it seized lying on the Property and any unfinished and finished gold-containing material that has been removed from the Property and is in any stage of the recycling, refining, or minting process in offsite locations. In no event shall Purchaser receive more than the amount of independently Certified 99.95% Pure Gold comprising the Liberty Coins which are in Default.
n. In the event of Default, Purchaser shall utilize qualified and properly permitted, licensed, bonded, and insured contractors subject to Trust approval and oversight to physically remove the Pre-Recycled Gold-Ore from each Pre-Recycled Gold-Ore Ownership Claim in a professional, efficient and safe manner using industry standard best practices and in accordance with all federal, state and local mining and environmental laws and regulations and any applicable Notice or Plan of Operations. Purchaser and its employees, agents and contractors shall be granted reasonable access to each Pre-Recycled Gold-Ore Ownership Claim to independently inspect, test, and monitor removal and recycling operations for the Pre-Recycled Gold Ore. Purchaser agrees to restore each Pre-Recycled Gold-Ore Ownership Claim to its original state prior to conduct of its activities or the activities of its employees, agents, and contractors, including remediation and restoration of any physical or environmental damage or contamination to each Pre-Recycled Gold-Ore Ownership Claim, mine premises comprising the Property, Gold-Containing Ore, improvements, and personal property as a result of Purchaser’s activities or the activities of its employees, agents, and contractors.

o. Tested concentration of gold, surveyed oz. of gold, gold recovery rates, gold valuations and formal appraisals of the Certified 99.95% Pure Gold contained in the Gold-Containing Ore and Pre-Recycled Gold-Ore, spot gold prices, operational expenses, administrative expenses, gold recycling, processing, refining, and minting expenses, and delivery time, results, market conditions, governmental and environmental regulations, restrictions, and approvals, etc. may differ from the assumptions, estimates, analysis, information, data, terms, conditions, projections, and forecasts contained in this Agreement the impact of which could be material (collectively “Variances”).
