The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) payable in arrears on (i) each Interest Payment Date after the date of this Agreement and prior to the last day of the Availability Period and (ii) the last day of the Availability Period, in each case at a rate of 5% per annum of the average daily unused portion of such Lender’s Commitment, provided, however, that such Commitment Fee shall be payable in kind unless (i) payment in cash is permitted in accordance with the terms of the Subordination Agreement and (ii) there is Available Cash Flow with which to make a cash payment of such fee. All unpaid Commitment Fees shall be deemed added to the outstanding principal amount of the Loans on each Interest Payment Date and the Loans thereafter shall bear interest on such increased principal amount. The commitment fee shall accrue at all times from the Closing Date until the last day of the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article 0 is not met. The commitment fee shall be calculated monthly in arrears.

Section 2.08 Computation of Interest and Fees

All computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360‑day year and actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such fees or interest are payable Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.10(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Section 2.09 Evidence of Indebtedness

(a)Accounts and Records. The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Secured Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(b)Notes. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative

Midway Gold – Pan Gold Project – Subordinated Credit Agreement

Agent) a Note payable to each Lender in the aggregate principal amount of such Lender’s Commitment. Each Lender may attach schedules to any of its Notes and endorse thereon the date, amount of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

Section 2.10 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback

(a)General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made free and clear of and without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Account in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. Except as otherwise provided herein, if any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day (except if the next following Business Day occurs in the next following calendar month, in which case payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day), and such extension or reduction of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(b)Funding by Lenders; Payments by Borrower; Presumption by Administrative Agent. (i) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with 0 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, (I) if the total period is equal to or less than five (5) Business Days, the Federal Funds Rate and (II) if the total period is more than (5) Business Days, a rate equal to 13.5%, per annum and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the rate of interest pursuant to Section 2.06. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

Midway Gold – Pan Gold Project – Subordinated Credit Agreement

(ii)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to, but excluding, the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) if the total period is equal to or less than five (5) Business Days, the Federal Funds Rate and (B) if the total period is more than (5) Business Days, a rate equal to 13.5% per annum.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(c)Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article 0, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Loan set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(d)Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 15.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to make payments pursuant to Section 15.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or make payments pursuant to Section 15.04(c).

Section 2.11 Intentionally Omitted

Section 2.12 Sharing of Payments by Lenders

If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of (a) Secured Obligations due and payable to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Secured Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Secured Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all such Lenders at such time or (b) Secured Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Secured Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payment on account of the Secured Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of the

Midway Gold – Pan Gold Project – Subordinated Credit Agreement

Lenders at such time then, in each such case, the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of the other Lenders (provided for greater certainty that notwithstanding Section 15.06(d), a Lender purchasing participations in accordance with this Section 2.12 shall enjoy the full benefits of Section 3.01 and Section 3.04 in respect of the full amount of any such participations to no lesser extent that such sections apply to such Lender’s ratable share determined without reference to such purchase of participations) or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of Secured Obligations then due and payable to the Lenders or owing (but not due and payable) to the Lenders, as the case may be, provided that:

(a)if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(b)the provisions of this Section 2.12 shall not be construed to apply to (i) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (ii) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant.

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

Section 2.13 Defaulting Lenders

(a)Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

(i)Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Majority Lenders” and Section 15.01.

(ii)Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article XII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 15.08 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Prospective Event of Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its

Midway Gold – Pan Gold Project – Subordinated Credit Agreement

portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Prospective Event of Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (A) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (B) such Loans were made when the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii)Certain Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under Section 2.07(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(b)Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

ARTICLE III
TAXES AND YIELD PROTECTION

Midway Gold – Pan Gold Project – Subordinated Credit Agreement

Section 3.01 Taxes

(a)Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes. (i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Administrative Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Administrative Agent or a Loan Party, then the Administrative Agent or such Loan Party shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to Section 3.01(e) below.

(ii) If any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent withholds or deducts any Taxes from any payment, then (A) the Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, and (B) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this 0) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(b)Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c)Tax Indemnifications. (i) Each of the Loan Parties shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally, indemnify each Recipient for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this 0) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each of the Loan Parties shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally, indemnify the Administrative Agent for any amount which a Lender for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required pursuant to Section 3.01(c)(ii) below, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor.

(ii) Each Lender shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify the Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the

Midway Gold – Pan Gold Project – Subordinated Credit Agreement

relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii).

(d)Evidence of Payments. Upon request by the Administrative Agent, after any payment of Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Applicable Law to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e)Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law and reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A)any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of

Midway Gold – Pan Gold Project – Subordinated Credit Agreement

interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2)executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI; or

(3)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN-E;

(C)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by Applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made;

(iii) If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

(iv) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this 0 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

Midway Gold – Pan Gold Project – Subordinated Credit Agreement

(f)Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by Applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender. If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this 0, it shall pay to the Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by a Loan Party under this 0 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out‑of‑pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Loan Party, upon the request of the Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in the event the Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to the Loan Party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after‑Tax position than such Recipient would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

(g)Survival. Each party’s obligations under this 0 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Secured Obligations.

Section 3.02 Intentionally Omitted

Section 3.03 Intentionally Omitted

Section 3.04 Increased Costs; Reserves on Loans

(a)Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender;

(ii)subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clause (b) or clause (c) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

Midway Gold – Pan Gold Project – Subordinated Credit Agreement

(iii)impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 3.04(a) or Section 3.04(b) and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.

(d)Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 3.05 Intentionally Omitted

Section 3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders

(a)Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, then at the request of the Borrower such Lender shall, as applicable, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or

Midway Gold – Pan Gold Project – Subordinated Credit Agreement

affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to 0 or 0, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b)Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different Lending Office in accordance with Section 3.06(a), the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 15.13.

ARTICLE X
INSURANCE

Section 10.01 Maintenance of Insurance

The Borrower shall at all times carry or cause to be carried insurance with insurers and re insurers maintaining a rating of either an A.M. Best rating of “A “ or better and a financial size category of “VIII” or higher or a financial strength rating of “BBB” or higher by S&P. The Borrower shall ensure that such insurance shall be denominated in Dollars. The insurance cover shall also be sufficient to satisfy the requirements set forth in the Material Project Agreements, but in no event less than the limits and coverage provisions set forth herein. Borrower agrees to deliver to the Administrative Agent insurance policies and endorsements thereof in such condition reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

Section 10.02 Minimum Insurance, Adjustments to Required Insurance

(a)The Borrower shall at all times maintain or cause to be maintained in effect, at a minimum, the type and levels of insurance coverage set forth in Schedule 10.02(a) hereto (with such modifications as the Senior Agent has agreed and, until the Discharge Date, will agree), together with (following the Discharge Date) such other or additional insurance (as to risks covered, policy amounts, policy provisions or otherwise) as the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Insurance Consultant may reasonably request from time to time; provided that such other or additional insurance and amounts are then commonly insured against with respect to similar properties in similar regions with similar exposures (collectively, the “Required Insurance”). The requirements set forth in Schedule 10.02(a) are minimum requirements and in no way relieve the Borrower from providing insurance coverages sufficient to protect the Project from the risks present. In the event, physical conditions change at the Project site, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and (following the Discharge Date) in consultation with the Insurance Consultant shall have the right but not the obligation to increase or change the requirements set forth in Schedule 10.02(a).

(b)No premium financing arrangements with respect to the Required Insurance shall be permitted without the prior consent of, prior to the Discharge Date, the Senior Majority Lenders and after the Discharge Date, the Majority Lenders, except as permitted pursuant to 0.

(c)If at any time the Borrower fails to maintain the Required Insurance, then after the Discharge Date, the Administrative Agent acting on the Instructions of the Majority Lenders, may give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Collateral Agent and, if such insurance is not obtained by the Borrower within fifteen (15) Business Days following such notice (unless the aforementioned insurance would lapse within such period or has already lapsed, in which event notice shall not be required), direct the Collateral Agent to reimburse the Administrative Agent for the cost of obtaining such insurance coverage. All expenses associated with obtaining such insurance shall be for the account of the Borrower and all amounts advanced therefor by the Agents or Lenders shall become an additional obligation of the Borrower to the Agents and the Lenders, and, subject to the Subordination Agreement, the Borrower shall forthwith pay such amounts to the Collateral Agent, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date so advanced.

102

Midway Gold – Pan Gold Project – Subordinated Credit Agreement

(d)In the event that liability for loss or damage is denied by the underwriter(s), in full or in part, because of breach of said insurance policies by the Borrower, or if the Borrower fails to maintain any of the insurance herein required, the Borrower shall hold harmless and indemnify the Lenders and Agents against all claims, demands, costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, which would otherwise be covered by said insurance. The Borrower’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement (express or implied) shall not be limited to the amount or scope of coverage provided by insurance which is required under this Article 0.

(e)No provision of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Material Project Agreement shall impose on any Agent or any Lender any duty or obligation to verify the existence or adequacy of the insurance coverage maintained by the Borrower. Neither the Agents nor the Lenders shall be responsible for the representations and warranties made by or on behalf of the Borrower to any insurance company or underwriter.

If any element of the Required Insurance, other than insurance required to be maintained by Applicable Law, shall not be available on commercially reasonable terms in the commercial insurance market, the Borrower shall promptly inform the Administrative Agent of such unavailability. The Borrower shall seek a written waiver from the Majority Lenders in relation to such unavailability and the Majority Lenders shall not unreasonably withhold their agreement to waive such requirement to the extent the maintenance thereof is not so available. Any such waiver request shall be accompanied by written reports prepared by the Borrower and its insurance broker certifying that such insurance is not available on commercially reasonable terms in the commercial insurance market for projects of similar type and capacity (and, in any case where the required amount is not so available, certifying as to the maximum amount which is so available) and explaining in detail the basis for such conclusions in reports in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Majority Lenders. As part of such waiver the Majority Lenders may require that the Borrower obtain the best available insurance comparable to the requirements of the Required Insurance on commercially reasonable terms then available in the commercial insurance market. Any additional insurance required to be obtained by the Borrower as a consequence of such adjustment must be obtained and be effective within sixty (60) days of such notice. As a condition to granting any such waiver the Majority Lenders may require modifications to the terms of this Article X that the Majority Lenders determine are reasonably necessary. Following the Discharge Date, at any time after the granting of any such waiver, the Administrative Agent may request, and the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent within fifteen (15) days after such request, a supplemental report of the Insurance Consultant reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent updating its prior reports and reaffirming the conclusions therein. Any such waiver shall be effective only so long as such insurance shall not be available on commercially reasonable terms in the commercial insurance market (as determined by the Insurance Consultant), it being understood that the failure of the Borrower to furnish in a timely manner the supplemental reports described above shall be conclusive evidence that such waiver is no longer effective because such condition no longer exists, but that such failure is not the only way to establish such non‑existence.

Section 10.03 Loss Payee and Additional Insured Provisions

The Borrower shall cause:

103

Midway Gold – Pan Gold Project – Subordinated Credit Agreement

(a)each insurance policy required by Article X (other than those described in Section 10.03(b) below) to name the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties as second loss payee under such policies and name the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties as additional insured; and

In addition, the Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to include in each insurance policy required pursuant to Section 1.1 of Schedule 10.02(a) (x) a standard mortgage clause (or similar clause) that insures (up to the limits of such policy) the interest of the Secured Parties regardless of any act or neglect, or error or omission of the Borrower or any breach or non‑fulfillment by the Borrower of any provision contained in such policy (other than non‑payment of premium) and (y) solely with respect to property policies, a requirement that the insurer pay as agreed within thirty (30) days of proof of loss.

Section 10.05 Payment of Premiums

The Borrower shall pay when due all premiums and other sums payable in respect of their insurance.

Section 10.06 Collection

In the event that the Borrower fails to respond in a timely and appropriate manner (as reasonably determined by the Collateral Agent) and to take any steps necessary or reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to collect from any insurer for any loss covered by any insurance required to be maintained hereunder, after the Discharge Date, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to make all proofs of loss, adjust all claims and receive all or any part of the proceeds of such insurance, either in its own name or in the name of the Borrower; provided, however, that the Borrower shall, upon the Collateral Agent’s reasonable request and at the Borrower’s own cost and expense, make all proofs of loss and take all other steps necessary or reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to collect from insurers for any loss covered by any insurance required to be maintained hereunder.

Section 10.07 Information

(a)As soon as possible prior to the renewal of any policy required by this Article X, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (i) an Insurance Broker’s Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F (or such other form as may be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) and (ii) certificates from insurers providing evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that the Required Insurance will be in full

104

force and effect with no premium overdue for at least a further twelve (12) months from the date of renewal or inception of such policy. Evidence of payment of all premiums shall be provided to the Administrative Agent promptly after such payment. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to review copies of all policies providing the coverage required by this Article X and, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, copies of such policies shall be forwarded to the Administrative Agent as soon as reasonably possible after they become available from each insurer.

(b)The Borrower shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of (i) any material dispute with an insurer that might adversely affect the payment of a claim under any policy of insurance required to be maintained under this Article X or the ability of the Borrower to maintain in effect any such required policy, (ii) the cancellation (or notification concerning a proposed cancellation) of any policy prior to its stated term, (iii) the non‑payment of any premium when due, (iv) the failure by the Borrower, for any reason, to maintain in full force and effect any insurance required by this Article X, (v) any material change (other than increases in coverage) in any insurance coverage maintained by the Borrower, (vi) any actual or, upon obtaining knowledge thereof, potential event of loss covered by such insurance in excess of U.S.$250,000, and (vii) any other information relating to the insurance required by this Article X that may be reasonably requested by any Lender or any Agent.

Section 10.08 Assignment of Policies

All property policies including builder’s all risk, delay in start‑up, all risk property, business interruption and delay in start‑up shall include the Borrower as first named insured and shall be capable of being assigned to the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties.

Section 10.09 Continuity of Terms

All policy terms, cover, deductibles and endorsements contained in policies taken out for or at the beginning of the operational phase of the Project (whether at Economic Completion or otherwise) shall be, mutatis mutandis, the same in all material respects as those provided in the corresponding construction phase policy. Furthermore, all policy terms, cover and endorsements shall remain unchanged in all material respects on policy renewal, unless otherwise provided hereunder.

ARTICLE XIII
AGENTS

Section 13.01 Appointment and Authority

(a)Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes each Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agents, the Lenders and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Agents is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

(b)Xxxx shall act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Xxxx to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Secured Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, Xxxx, as “collateral agent” and any co‑agents, sub‑agents and attorneys‑in‑fact appointed by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 13.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article XIII0 and Article XV (including Section 15.04(b), as though such co‑agents, sub‑agents and attorneys‑in‑fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

Section 13.02 Rights as a Lender

Each Person serving as Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent and the term “Lender,” “Lenders,” “Majority Lender,” or “Majority Lenders,” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include each Person serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Each such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Section 13.03 Exculpatory Provisions

No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents and each

112

Midway Gold – Pan Gold Project – Subordinated Credit Agreement

Agent’s duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent:

(a)shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Prospective Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is Continuing;

(b)shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that such Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or Applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may affect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law;

(c)shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, nor shall any Agent be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as an Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity;

(d)shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 15.01 and 12.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment. Each Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Prospective Event of Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Prospective Event of Default or Event of Default is given to such Agent by the Borrower or a Lender; and

(e)shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (A) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (B) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (C) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence or Continuance of any Event of Default, (D) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created by the Collateral Documents, or (E) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to any such Agent.

Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless such Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 13.05 Delegation of Duties

Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub‑agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub‑agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article XIII shall apply to any such sub‑agent and to the Related Parties of such Agent and any such sub‑agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with their acting as Agent.

Section 13.06 Indemnification

The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), in accordance with their Pro Rata Share, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including at any time following the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Secured Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 13.07 Resignation of Agents

(a)Any Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day

114

Midway Gold – Pan Gold Project – Subordinated Credit Agreement

as shall be agreed by the Majority Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders appoint a successor Agent. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b)If the Person serving as Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) of the definition thereof, the Majority Lenders may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Majority Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(c)With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable), (i) the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral held by the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, on behalf of the Secured Parties under any of the Loan Documents, the Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such Collateral until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this Section 13.07. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Agent (other than as provided in Section 3.01(g) and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Agents as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 13.07). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor Agent. After the retiring or removed Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article XIII and Section 15.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Agent, its sub‑agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Agent was acting as Agent.

Section 13.08 Non‑Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders

(a)Each Lender confirms to each Agent, each other Lender and each of their respective Related Parties that it (i) possesses (individually or through its Related Parties) such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable, without reliance upon the Agent, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, of evaluating the merits and risks (including tax, legal, regulatory, credit, accounting and other financial matters) of (A) entering into this Agreement, (B) making Loans hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (C) taking or not taking actions hereunder and thereunder, (ii) is financially able

124

Midway Gold – Pan Gold Project – Subordinated Credit Agreement

(including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i)Minimum Amounts. In the case of assignments of any amount other than the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or the Loans under the Debt Facilities at the time owing to it, the aggregate amount of the Commitments (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than U.S.$3,000,000 with respect to the Subordinated Debt Facility unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is Continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii)Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitments assigned under the Debt Facilities (which shall consist of a pro rata portion of each Debt Facility).

(iii)Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by Section 15.06(b)(i) and, in addition:

(A)the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is made prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default to a Person for which a Loan Party is required to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment pursuant to Section 3.01(a); provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and

(B)the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (i) any unfunded Commitments if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or (ii) any Loan to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

125

Midway Gold – Pan Gold Project – Subordinated Credit Agreement

(v)Certain Additional Payments. (A) In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(B)Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 15.06 from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 15.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment); provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection (b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 15.06(d).

(c)Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 15.02 a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).

126

Midway Gold – Pan Gold Project – Subordinated Credit Agreement

The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d)Participations. (i) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, a Defaulting Lender or the Borrower (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

(ii)Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first provision to Section 15.01 that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 15.06(b) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(e) shall be delivered to the Lender who sells the participation); provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 3.06 and 15.14 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.01 or 3.04, with respect to any participation, than the Lender from whom it acquired the applicable participation would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation, unless the sale of the Participation is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.06 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 15.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such

127

Midway Gold – Pan Gold Project – Subordinated Credit Agreement

commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103‑1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e)Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Section 15.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality

(a)Each Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and required to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self‑regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); (c) to the extent required by Applicable Law or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 15.07, to any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided hereunder or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the credit facilities provided hereunder; (h) with the consent of the Borrower; or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 15.07 or (y) becomes available to any Secured Party or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. In addition, any Secured Party may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Secured Parties in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments, and the Borrowings. For the purposes of this Section 15.07, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party relating to any Loan Party or its business, other than any such information that is available to any Lender on a non‑confidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 15.07 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the

128

Midway Gold – Pan Gold Project – Subordinated Credit Agreement

confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

(b)Each of the Lenders acknowledges that (i) the Information may include material non‑public information concerning a Loan Party, (ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non‑public information and (iii) it will handle such material non‑public information in accordance with Applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities laws.

Section 15.08 Right of Setoff

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be Continuing, each Lender and each of its respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.13 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Secured Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section 15.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

Section 15.09 Interest Rate Limitation

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non‑usurious interest permitted by Applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Loans hereunder.

Section 15.10 Counterparts; Effectiveness

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with the Subordination Agreement constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Subordination Agreement and this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the terms of the Subordination Agreement shall control. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging means (e.g., “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 15.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties

All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Prospective Event of Default or Event of Default at the time of any Borrowing, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Secured Obligation hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

Section 15.12 Severability

If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 15.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

Section 15.13 Replacement of Lenders

If the Borrower is entitled to replace a Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.06(b), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 15.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 3.01 and 3.04) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

130

Midway Gold – Pan Gold Project – Subordinated Credit Agreement

(a)the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Sections 15.06(b);

(b)such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(c)in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(d)such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 15.14 Consultants

(a)Removal of Consultants. After the Discharge Date, the Majority Lenders, may appoint consultants to replace the Consultants (each, a “Second Lien Consultant”) and notify the Agents and the Borrower of such designation.

(b)Consultants’ Fees and Expenses. The Borrower shall reimburse each of the Second Lien Consultants for the reasonable fees and documented expenses of such Second Lien Consultant retained on behalf of the Lenders pursuant to this Section 15.14, including the reports to be provided by any of the Second Lien Consultants as contemplated by Section 9.01.

(c)Certifications by Consultants. In all cases in which this Agreement provides for any Second Lien Consultant to “agree,” “approve,” “certify” or “confirm” any report or other document or any fact or circumstance, such Second Lien Consultant may make the determinations and evaluations required in connection therewith based upon information provided by the Borrower or other sources reasonably believed by such Second Lien Consultant to be knowledgeable and responsible without independently verifying such information; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, such Second Lien Consultant shall engage in such independent investigations or findings as it may from time to time deem necessary in its reasonable discretion to support the determinations and evaluations required of it.

(d)No Reliance on Senior Consultants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, except to the extent that Second Lien Consultants have been appointed in accordance with clause (a) above, (i) the Independent Engineer, the Insurance Consultant and the Model Tax Reviewer referred to herein have been engaged by the Senior Secured Parties only and the Secured Parties shall have no right to rely upon any reports, certificates or other communications from the Consultants and (ii) to the extent that any provision in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents requires delivery of Consultant reports, certificates or other communications to the Secured Parties, such

131

Midway Gold – Pan Gold Project – Subordinated Credit Agreement

requirements shall be deemed waived to the extent that the Borrower is contractually prohibited from delivering such reports, certificates or other communications as a result of confidentiality restrictions or otherwise.

Each Loan Party shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, or any prospective assignee or participant of a Lender or the Administrative Agent, in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence.

(b)If the Administrative Agent has ascertained the identity of a Loan Party or any authorized signatories of such Loan Party for the purposes of applicable AML Legislation, then the Administrative Agent:

(i)shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for each Lender, and this Agreement shall constitute a “written agreement” in such regard between each Lender and the Administrative Agent within the meaning of applicable AML Legislation; and

(ii)shall provide to each Lender copies of all information obtained in such regard without any representation or warranty as to its accuracy or completeness.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, each of the Lenders agrees that the Administrative Agent has no obligation to ascertain the identity of any Loan Party or any authorized signatories of any Loan Party on behalf of any Lender, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from a Loan Party or any such authorized signatory in doing so.
