Uranium Energy Corp.

Austin, Texas 78750

Attention: Amir Adnani, President & Chief Executive Officer

Dear Sirs:

Re: Private Placement of Units

We, National Bank Financial Inc., RBC Dominion Securities Inc. and Canaccord Capital Corporation (the “Agents”), understand that Uranium Energy Corp. (the “Corporation”) proposes to undertake a private placement (the “Private Placement”) of units (the “Units”) at a price of US$3.75 per Unit to raise aggregate gross proceeds of up to US$8,000,000. Each Unit will consist of one share of common stock (a “Share”) and one common stock purchase warrant (a “Warrant”) of the Corporation, with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one additional share of common stock (a “Warrant Share”) of the Corporation at an exercise price of US$4.25 per Warrant Share, subject to adjustment, for a period of one year from the Closing Date (as defined herein). The Units will be subject to a four month hold period from the Closing Date.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Corporation hereby appoints the Agents to act as the Corporation’s exclusive Agents and the Agents hereby accept the appointment and agree to act as Agents of the Corporation and to use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and introduce to the Corporation potential Purchasers (as defined herein) in the Qualifying Jurisdictions (as defined herein) to purchase, by way of private placement, the Units. The Agents are under no obligation to purchase any of the Units, although the Agents may subscribe for Units if they so desire.

We, the Agents, also understand that the Corporation intends to enter into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Purchasers dated on or before the Closing Date in which the Corporation will covenant and agree to use reasonable best efforts to prepare and file a registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to register the resale, from time to time, of the Shares, Warrants Shares and any Liquidated Damages Warrant Shares (as defined herein) under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), within 30 days following the Closing Date and use reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC on or before 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on the first Business Day which is not less than four months after the Closing Date (the “Registration Deadline”).

- 2 -

In accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, if the Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the SEC on or prior to the Registration Deadline, or if the effectiveness of the Registration Statement is not maintained by the Corporation as described in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Corporation will provide to the Purchasers, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, such number of additional whole transferable common stock purchase warrants (the “Liquidated Damages Warrants”) equal to one one-hundredth (1/100^th) of such an additional Liquidated Damages Warrant for each US$1.00 in aggregate subscription price funds paid by each Purchaser pursuant to the Subscription Agreements with respect to each and every 30 calendar day period (or partial period thereof) during which the Registration Statement is not effective after the Registration Deadline until the registration default is cured; provided, however, that the maximum number of shares of common stock of the Corporation issuable pursuant to the Private Placement (including the Warrant Shares and the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Liquidated Damages Warrants (the “Liquidated Damages Warrant Shares”)), shall not exceed 19.9% of the Corporation’s issued and outstanding share capital unless shareholder approval has been obtained, which the Corporation shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain if necessary.

Each Liquidated Damages Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Liquidated Damages Warrant Share at an exercise price of US$4.25 per Liquidated Damages Warrant Share, subject to adjustment, and shall expire at 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on the date that is two years from the date the Liquidated Damages Warrant is issued.

- 23 -

		claims, actions, suits, investigations or proceedings to which the Agents and/or their Personnel may become subject or otherwise involved in any capacity under any statute or common law, or otherwise insofar as such expenses, losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based, directly or indirectly, upon the performance of professional services rendered to the Indemnitor by the Agents and their Personnel hereunder (including the aggregate amount paid in reasonable settlement of any such actions, suits, investigations, proceedings or claims that may be made against the Agents and/or their Personnel, provided that the Indemnitor has agreed to such settlement), provided, however, that this indemnity shall not apply to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment that has become non-appealable shall determine that:
	(a)	the Agents and/or their Personnel have been grossly negligent or have committed wilful misconduct or any fraudulent act in the course of such performance; and
	(b)	the expenses, losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as to which indemnification is claimed, were directly caused by the gross negligence, wilful misconduct or fraud referred to in (a).
		Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this indemnity shall apply to all expenses (including legal expenses), losses, claims and liabilities that the Agents may incur as a result of any action or litigation that may be threatened or brought against the Agents and/or their Personnel.
11.2		If for any reason (other than the occurrence of any of the events itemized in (a) and (b) above), the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to the Agents or any Personnel or is insufficient to hold the Agents or any Personnel harmless as a result of such expense, loss, claim, damage or liability then the Indemnitor, the Agents and such Personnel will contribute to such expense, loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Indemnitor on the one hand and the Agents or any Personnel on the other hand but also the relative fault of the Indemnitor and the Agents or any Personnel, as well as any relevant equitable considerations; provided that the Indemnitor shall in any event contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Agents or any Personnel as a result of such expense, loss, claim, damage or liability that is in excess of the amount of the fees received by the Agents hereunder.
11.3		The Indemnitor agrees that in case any legal proceeding shall be brought against the Indemnitor, the Agents and/or any of their Personnel by any governmental commission or regulatory authority or any stock exchange or other entity having regulatory authority, either domestic or foreign, or any such entity shall investigate the Indemnitor, the Agents and/or any Personnel of the Agents shall be required to testify in connection therewith or shall be required to respond to procedures designed to discover information regarding, in connection with, or by reason of the performance of professional services rendered to the Indemnitor, the Agents shall have the right to employ their own counsel in connection therewith

	provided that the Agents act reasonably in selecting such counsel, and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel as well as the reasonable costs (including an amount to reimburse the Agents for time spent by their Personnel in connection therewith) and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by their Personnel in connection therewith shall be paid by the Indemnitor as they occur.
11.4	Promptly after receipt of notice of the commencement of any legal proceeding against the Agents or any of their Personnel or after receipt of notice of the commencement or any investigation, which is based, directly or indirectly, upon any matter in respect of which indemnification may be sought from the Indemnitor, the Agents will notify the Indemnitor in writing of the commencement thereof, and throughout the course thereof, will provide copies of all relevant documentation to the Indemnitor, will keep the Indemnitor advised of the progress thereof and will discuss with the Indemnitor all significant actions proposed. However, the failure by the Agents to notify the Indemnitor will not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations to indemnify the Agents and/or any such Personnel. The Indemnitor shall on behalf of itself and the Agents, and/or any such Personnel, as applicable, be entitled (but not required) to assume the defence of any suit brought to enforce such legal proceeding; provided, however, that the defence shall be conducted through legal counsel acceptable to the Agents and/or any such Personnel, as applicable, acting reasonably, that no settlement of any such legal proceeding may be made by the Indemnitor without the prior written consent of the Agents and/or any such Personnel, as applicable, and none of the Agents and/or any such Personnel, as applicable, shall be liable for any settlement of any such legal proceeding unless it has consented in writing to such settlement, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. The Agents and their Personnel shall have the right to appoint their own separate counsel at the Indemnitor’s cost provided the Agents and their Personnel act reasonably in selecting such counsel.
11.5	The indemnity and contribution obligations of the Indemnitor shall be in addition to any liability, which the Indemnitor may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to the Personnel of the Agents and shall be binding upon and enure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Indemnitor, the Agents, and any of the Personnel of the Agents.

- 25 -

	(b)	there should develop, occur, or come into effect any catastrophe of national or international consequence or accident, governmental law, or regulation or other occurrence of any nature which, in the opinion of the Agents, seriously affects or will seriously affect the financial markets or the business of the Corporation or the ability of the Agents to perform their obligations under this Agreement, or a Purchaser’s decision to purchase the Units, even if the Purchaser has already executed a Subscription Agreement for all or a portion of the Private Placement;
	(c)	following a consideration of the history, business, products, property or affairs of the Corporation or its principals and promoters, or the state of the financial markets in general, or the state of the market for the Corporation’s securities in particular, the Agents determine in their sole discretion, acting reasonably, that it is not in the interest of the Purchasers to complete the purchase and sale of the Units;
