Schedule A

TERM SHEET

This Term Sheet is strictly confidential and is intended only for those recipients that have entered into Lock-Up Agreements with Uranium Energy Corp. respecting the proposed acquisition of Cue Resources Ltd. (collectively, the "Transaction"). This Term Sheet and its contents must not be disclosed.

This Term Sheet sets out the principal terms and conditions expected to be included in the definitive arrangement agreement (the "Arrangement Agreement") relating to the Acquisition. It should not be considered exhaustive as to all the terms and conditions expected to be included in the Arrangement Agreement.

Acquisition:

Uranium Energy Corp. (the "Purchaser") will acquire by way of a plan of arrangement in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement the Cue Resources Shares, being approximately 115.1 million common shares (on a fully diluted basis), on the terms described below (the "Transaction").

Structure:

Pursuant to the terms of the Transaction, shareholders of Cue Resources Ltd. (the "Company") will receive such number of Purchaser common shares (the "UEC Shares") in exchange for their Company common shares (the "Cue Resources Shares") as shall be determined with reference to the exchange ratio contemplated below under "Consideration". The UEC Shares have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or the securities laws of any state of the United States, and the Transaction will be effected in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act provided for in section 3(a)(10) thereunder, and in reliance on the exemption from the prospectus requirement provided for in section 2.11 of National Instrument 45-106 - Prospectus and Registration Exemptions.

Lock-up Agreement:

The Company's directors and officers and the four largest shareholders will enter into support lock-up agreements with the Purchaser pursuant to which they will agree, among other things, to vote in favour of the Transaction.

Purchase Price:

The Purchaser will acquire the Cue Resources Shares pursuant to a share-for-share exchange on a ratio of 0.0195 UEC Share for each issued and outstanding Cue Resources Share.

As at December 13, 2011, the 20-day volume-weighted average trading price ("20-day VWAP") of the UEC Shares was CAD $3.0705 (based on an exchange rate of 1.0342), and the 20-day VWAP of the Cue Resources Shares was CAD $0.0243. The deemed value of the UEC Shares issued in connection with the Transaction represents an offer price of $0.06 per Cue Resources share, representing an implied offer premium of approximately 147% to the Company's shareholders based on the 20-day VWAPs of the UEC Shares and the Cue Resources Shares.

Consideration:

All Company shareholders will receive 0.0195 of a UEC Share for every Cue Resources Share held.

Hold Periods:

UEC Shares to be issued pursuant to the Transaction generally will not be subject to any restricted or hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws if the following conditions are met: (i) the trade is not a "control distribution" (as defined in National Instrument 45-102 - Resale of Securities); (ii) no unusual effort is made to prepare the market or to create a demand for the securities that are the subject of the trade; (iii) no extraordinary commission or consideration is paid to a person in respect of the trade; and (iv) if the selling holder of securities is an insider or an officer of the Purchaser, the selling securityholder has no reasonable grounds to believe that the Purchaser is in default of securities legislation.

The UEC Shares to be issued pursuant to the Transaction will be freely transferable under U.S. federal securities laws, except by persons who are "affiliates" of UEC after the Transaction or were affiliates of the Purchaser within 90 days prior to the completion of the Transaction.

Deal Protection:

The Arrangement Agreement will contain customary deal protection mechanisms, including a break fee of $300,000 payable to the Purchaser in certain events, non-solicitation provisions and a right to match any superior proposal.

Conduct of Business:

The Arrangement Agreement will include the ability of the Purchaser to provide reasonable direction (to be mutually agreed upon) to the Company with regard to activities conducted on its properties.

Loans and/or Other Amounts Payable to Insiders of the Company:

Except for the CAD $260,000 loan amount owing by the Company to Resinco Capital Partners Inc. which will be settled and extinguished at closing by the payment of CAD $260,000 in cash, any other outstanding loans, accrued interest payable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and/or any other financial liabilities that the Company has outstanding as of the date (December 22, 2011) of the original letter of intent, and incurred subsequently until the closing date, whereby the creditor and/or payee is an insider of the Company and/or is an affiliate of insiders of the Company shall be settled and extinguished by the Purchaser at the closing date by the issuance of UEC Shares at a price of CAD $3.0705 per UEC Share. With the respect to the CAD $180,000 change of control payment that would otherwise be payable to a corporation controlled by Robert Tyson on the closing date of the Transaction, this amount shall be reduced to CAD $80,000 and shall be settled by the Purchaser by the payment of CAD $30,000 in cash and the issuance of CAD $50,000 in UEC Shares at a price of CAD $3.0705 per UEC share to the aforementioned corporation.

Due Diligence:

The Purchaser to be satisfied in its sole discretion with its due diligence investigation of the Company.

Options and Warrants:

It will be a condition to the completion of the Transaction that all options and warrants of the Company be exercised or terminated prior to the effective time of the plan of arrangement.

Immediately following execution of the Arrangement Agreement the Purchaser and the Company will jointly announce the Transaction. The parties will co-operate to draft and mail an information circular to the shareholders of the Company as soon as possible thereafter.

Approvals:

The Arrangement Agreement will be subject to the approval of the board of directors of each party and to all applicable regulatory approvals.

Closing Date:

The deadline for completion of the Transaction will be March 31, 2012.
