2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial
Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
On April 17, 2020, Elk Creek Resources Inc (“ECRC”),
the wholly owned subsidiary of NioCorp Developments Ltd., received a U.S. Small Business Administration Loan (the “SBA Loan”)
from American National Bank, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic
Security Act (the “CARES Act”), in the amount of $196,300. Under the Paycheck Protection Program Loan Note (the “Promissory
Note”), the SBA Loan has a fixed interest rate of 1%, a maturity date of April 17, 2022, and no payments are due on the SBA
Loan for six months. Pursuant to the terms of the SBA Loan and Promissory Note, ECRC may apply for forgiveness of the amount due
on the SBA Loan in an amount equal to the sum of the following costs incurred by ECRC during the eight-week period (or any other
period that may be authorized by the U.S. Small Business Administration) beginning on the date of first disbursement of the SBA
Loan: payroll costs, any payment of interest on a covered mortgage obligation, payment on a covered rent obligation, and any covered
utility payment. The amount of SBA Loan forgiveness shall be calculated in accordance with the requirements of the Paycheck Protection
Program, including the provisions of Section 1106 of the CARES Act, although no more than 25% of the amount forgiven can be attributable
to non-payroll costs.
