The intent behind designating pockets as Croup 1, Group 2, and Group 3 is to maximize use of
<br />resources in cleaning and preparing materials for sale. It is generally not worth time and effort to
<br />clean and prepare Group 3 material, but at some point, this material may incur some market value.
<br />If at a later time, any Group 3 material is sold, either cleaned, or as uncleazied wholesale lots, a
<br />ZS% royalty will be paid to the POFP.
<br />24. Confidentiality. Both parties agree to keep Group 1 pocket discovery and production strictly
<br />confidential. Both parties may photograph and document all production; however, all
<br />documentation must be kept confidential. All persons representing or working for either party and
<br />present during mineral recovery are bound to strict confidentiality. Confidentiality refers to, but. is
<br />not limited to, photographs, sketches, references to discovery, references to quality, color, or size
<br />of crystals, or any inferences which can lead to the determination of production quality, quantity,
<br />and size. Confidentiality is applied individually and exclusively to each Group 1 pocket.
<br />Confidentiality is individually removed only as the applicable pocket is formerly offered for sale
<br />by the POSP. Group 2 and Group 3 pockets are not held to confidentiality rules.
<br />25. Agreement to Clean and Prepare. The POSP agrees to invest at least 200 hours annually in
<br />preparation and cleaning of Group 1 and Group 2 material. This 200 hours is separate from any
<br />time spent in labeling, marketing, shipping, advertising, selling or similar selling activities. The
<br />200 hours is not meant to restrict cleaning and preparation time, but to insure ample time is
<br />dedicated to preparing material recovered from the POFP's properties and to insure it is offered for
<br />sale wit}vn a reasonable time. The POSF will maintain cleaning and preparation logs which wall
<br />be made available to the POFP upon request.
<br />Once at the POSP's workshop, all Group 1 and Group 2 pocket materials will be initially cleaned
<br />and assembled to a suitable point which will allow a fair assessment of their value. The POFP and
<br />POSP will mutually agree on which pocket to continence final cleaning and prepazation. The
<br />POSP will then dedicated time and resources in this priority fashion. Premium pieces, pieces with
<br />an estimated value of at least $ 500.00 will first be prepared for sale. Cleaning will then proceed
<br />to secondary pieces, those pieces having a value of between $ 100.00 and $ 500.00, and continua
<br />until the pocket is completed, At this paint, the Group t pocket wifl be offerer] for sate. Pockets
<br />will not be offered for sale until all the premium and secondary pieces have been completed from
<br />that pocket. Tertiaay pieces, those pieces with a value less than $ 100.00 will not be cleaned nor
<br />prepped. Instead, these pieces wits become part of the Crroup 3 material and dasposed of
<br />accordingly.
<br />All premium pieces will be repaired, numbered; labeled, photographed, and catalogued. Labeling
<br />and documentation information wilt include source, pocket, number, and repairs, all of which will
<br />be properly disclosed to prospective buyers. 1Vo enhancements will be used in preparation.
<br />Secondary pieces will be numbered and labeled as to source, pocket, and repairs (for inventory
<br />control purposes), but not photographed.
<br />If the 200 hours is not expended in preparing Group 1 pockets and pieces, the POSP will continue
<br />selecting the best of the Group 2 pockets and pieces. The POSP will select the best pieces from
<br />Group 2 pockets and prepare them as additional material for sale until the 200 hours is expended
<br />or exceeded. Group 2 pockets will be named, labeled, numbered, and cataloged, but not
<br />photographed. Label will indicate source, pocket, repays, and number. Group 2 pockets and
<br />pieces do not need to be completely finished before being offered for sale.
