WHEREAS, DGSE currently owes in excess of US$2.5 million to NTR as a result of bullion-related transactions (the “Intercompany Debt”); and
WHEREAS, NTR has agreed to forgive US$2.5 million of the Intercompany Debt (the “Option Consideration”) in exchange for the issuance of options to purchase an aggregate of five million (5,000,000) shares of the common stock of DGSE, par value $0.01 per share, at an exercise price of fifteen dollars (US$15) per share (the “Options”).
NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged, hereby agree as follows:

2. Modification. This Agreement may only be amended, modified or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by each Party hereto. No waiver by any Party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the Party so waiving. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
3. Successor and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No Party may assign any of its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party. No assignment shall relieve the assigning Party of any of its obligations hereunder.
