(i)the Company has not undertaken, and will have no obligation, to register any of the Shares under the 1933 Act or any other securities legislation;

(l)any resale of the Shares by the Subscriber will be subject to resale restrictions contained in the securities laws applicable to the Company, the Subscriber and any proposed transferee and it is the responsibility of the Subscriber to find out what those restrictions are and to comply with such restrictions before selling any of the Shares;

(n)the Company will refuse to register the transfer of any of the Shares to a U.S. Person not made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act or pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and in each case in accordance with applicable laws; 

 

(o)the Subscriber has been advised to consult the Subscriber’s own legal, tax and other advisors with respect to the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares and with respect to applicable resale restrictions, and it is solely responsible (and the Company is not in any way responsible) for compliance with:

Whereas as at January 31, 2024, Caitlin Jeffs (the “Lender”) of 48 Peter Street, Thunder Bay, Ontario P7A 5H3, has advanced to Red Metal Resources Ltd. (the “Borrower”) a total of CAD$679,309.27 and US$204,881.92 under loan agreements and in exchange for unsecured notes payable that carry interest at 8% per year compounded monthly (the “Interest”) and payable on demand, as listed in the attached Schedule “A”; and

 

Whereas the Borrower wishes to consolidate the initial loan agreements and notes payable;

 

Therefore: This Loan Agreement replaces the Initial Loan Agreements in their entirety and confirms the following:

 

As at January 31, 2024, the Lender advanced to the Borrower CAD$679,309.27, which, as of the date of this loan agreement, accumulated CAD$330,762.55 in interest, and a total of US$204,881.92 (CAD$274,480.31 converted at 1.3397) which, as of the date of this loan agreement, accumulated US$30,656.96 (CAD$41,071.13 converted at 1.3397) in interest. Therefore, the total amount due to the Lender as at January 31, 2024, is CAD$1,325,623.26 (“Consolidated Principal Sum”).

 

The Borrower agrees to repay the Consolidated Principal Sum on demand, together with interest calculated and compounded monthly at the rate of 8% per year (the “Interest”) from the date of the Loan Agreement. The Borrower is liable for repayment of the Consolidated Principal Sum and accrued Interest and any costs that the Lender incurs in trying to collect the Consolidated Principal Sum and the Interest.
