WHEREAS, RMB and RMBAH, pursuant to a Facility Agreement dated April 5, 2010 (as so amended and as further amended, restated, supplemented, modified, replaced or refinanced from time to time, the “First Lien Facility Agreement”), made loans and credit available to Neutron, in an outstanding amount as of December 31, 2011 $26,787,157.00 ($24 Million in principal plus accrued interest as of that date) (the “Existing RMB Loan”);

WHEREAS, certain parties including the Company and Neutron have executed an Agreement and Plan of Merger of even date herewith (the “Merger Agreement”) and related agreements pursuant to which Neutron would merge with a subsidiary of URI and become a wholly-owned subsidiary of URI (the “Merger”);

WHEREAS, in the Transaction Agreements, the Resource Capital Fund V. L.P.

a.           In the event of any registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, Company shall indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law the Holder of such Registrable Securities, such Holder’s directors and officers, and each other person, if any, who controls such Holder or such participating person within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Holder or any such director or officer or participating person or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or any other statute or at common law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Resale Registration Statement under which such securities were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) any alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and shall reimburse such Holder or such director, officer or participating person or controlling person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by such Holder or such director, officer or participating person or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any actual or alleged untrue statement or actual or alleged omission made in such Resale Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, prospectus or amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Company by such Holder specifically for use therein.  Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Holder or such director, officer or participating person or controlling person, and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Holder.
 
 
13

 
 
b.           Each Holder, by acceptance hereof, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law Company, its directors and officers and each other person, if any, who controls Company within the meaning of the Securities Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which Company or any such director or officer or any such person may become subject under the Securities Act or any other statute or at common law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any actual or alleged untrue statement or actual or alleged omission made in any information provided in writing to Company by such Holder specifically for use in the Resale Registration Statement and contained in any Resale Registration Statement under which securities were registered under the Securities Act at the request of such Holder, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (b) or paragraph (d) below, no Holder shall be required to indemnify any person pursuant to this Section VI(4) or to contribute pursuant to paragraph (d) below in an amount in excess of the amount of the aggregate net proceeds received by such Holder in connection with any such registration under the Securities Act.
 
c.           Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give such notice shall not limit the rights of such Person, except to the extent the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced thereby) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, however, that any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Person unless (A) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses or (B) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Person.  If such defense is not assumed by the indemnifying party as permitted hereunder, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  If such defense is assumed by the indemnifying party pursuant to the provisions hereof, such indemnifying party shall not settle or otherwise compromise the applicable claim unless (i) such settlement or compromise contains a full and unconditional release of the indemnified party or (ii) the indemnified party otherwise consents in writing, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party, a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such additional counsel or counsels.
 
 
14

 
 
d.           If the indemnification provided for in this Section VI(4) from the indemnifying party is unavailable to an indemnified party hereunder in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified parties in connection with the actions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified parties, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action.  The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding.
 
e.           The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section VI(4)(d) were determined by pro - rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.  No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
 
5.           Certain Limitations on Registration Rights.  Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement:
 
a.           Company shall have the right to delay the filing or effectiveness of a Resale Registration Statement required pursuant to Section VI(1) hereof during one or more periods aggregating not more than ninety (90) days in any twelve (12) month period in the event that (i) Company would, in accordance with the advice of its counsel, be required to disclose in the prospectus information not otherwise then required by law to be publicly disclosed and (ii) in the judgment of Company’s board of directors, there is a reasonable likelihood that such disclosure, or any other action to be taken in connection with the prospectus, would materially and adversely affect any existing or prospective material business situation, transaction or negotiation or otherwise materially and adversely affect Company.
 
b.           In the event that, in the judgment of Company, it is advisable to suspend use of a prospectus included in a Resale Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement, due to pending material developments or other events that have not yet been publicly disclosed and as to which (i) Company would, in accordance with the advice of its counsel, be required to disclose in the prospectus information not otherwise then required by law to be publicly disclosed and (ii) in the judgment of Company’s board of directors, there is a reasonable likelihood that such disclosure would materially and adversely affect any existing or prospective material business situation, transaction or negotiation or otherwise materially and adversely affect Company, then Company shall notify all Holders to such effect, and, upon receipt of such notice, each such Holder shall immediately discontinue any sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Resale Registration Statement until such Holder has received copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus or until such Holder is advised in writing by Company that the then current prospectus may be used and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in such prospectus.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Company shall not exercise its rights under this Section VI(5)(b) to suspend sales of Registrable Securities for a period or periods aggregating more than ninety (90) days in any twelve (12) month period.

d.           The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby, do not and will not (i) contravene, conflict with or result in a violation or breach of any provision of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws or the organizational documents of any of the Company’s subsidiaries, (ii) contravene, conflict with or result in a violation or breach of any provisions of any law applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or by which its or any of their respective properties is bound or affected, (iii) require any consent or other action by any Person under, constitute a default (or an event that, with or without notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or cause or permit the termination, amendment, acceleration, triggering or cancellation or other change of any right or obligation or the loss of any benefit to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is entitled under any provision of any contract binding upon the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or (iv) result in the creation or imposition of any lien on any asset of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, other than such exceptions in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Company.
 
e.           The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby do not, and shall not, require any approval, action by or in respect of, filing with or notification to, any governmental entity, to be made or obtained by the Company or its subsidiaries, except for (i) the filing with the Commission and the mailing to the holders of  Common Stock of the Company of a proxy information statement, and the filing with the Commission of any reports that might be required pursuant to the Exchange Act in connection with the Merger and the offerings and the transactions contemplated hereby, [(ii) the filing with the Commission of the Resale Registration Statement,] (ii) such other filings, authorizations, decisions or orders as may be required by the rules and regulations of NASDAQ or any state securities or blue sky laws and (iii) any other approvals or permits, which, if not obtained, would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Company.
