of signed counterparts of the Confirmation by facsimile transmission. In the case of a
Confirmation being executed by facsimile transmission, as soon as practicable after such
transmission, MIC shall send two (2) signed counterparts of the Confirmation to Coeur, and Coeur
shall sign and return one copy of the Confirmation to MIC; provided, however, that the failure by
either party to deliver signed hard copies after the facsimile transmissions shall not effect the

5. CREDIT / SECURITY INTEREST
5.1 Both parties acknowledge that this is a true Lease in which Lessor retains title and settlement
by return of the Metal leased hereunder is contemplated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lessee
hereby grants the Lessor a security interest in all Metal delivered pursuant to this Agreement in
any physical or chemical state and any proceeds of sale, disposition, or destruction thereof until

appropriate UCC financing statements, with or without Lessee having executed such filing. The
Lessee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Lessor all appropriate instruments of
conveyance and other documents reasonably required by the Lessor, and will take such other actions
and execute such other documents, certifications, and further assurances as the Lessor may
reasonably require in order to vest more effectively in the Lessor, or to put the Lessor more fully
in possession of, such Metal, or otherwise to protect Lessor’s interests in the Metal. The Lessee
shall take all reasonable actions not to prejudice the Lessor’s security interest in, and shall
take such other actions as the Lessor may reasonably require to protect, the Metal in the Lessee’s
possession.
5.2 To secure the payment or performance of the present and future indebtedness and liability of
the Lessee to the Lessor hereunder, the Lessee agrees hereby to grant a first priority security
interest to the Lessor in specified collateral (the “Collateral”) set forth in the Collateral
Agreement agreed between the parties (“Collateral
3
Agreement”). The Lessor is hereby authorized to
file any and all appropriate financing statements, with or without Lessee having executed such
filing. The Lessee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Lessor all appropriate
instruments of conveyance and other documents reasonably required by the Lessor, and will take such
other actions and execute such other documents, certifications, and further assurances as the
Lessor may require in order to vest more effectively in the Lessor such the Collateral, or
otherwise to protect Lessor’s interests in the Collateral. The Lessee shall take all reasonable
actions not to prejudice the Lessor’s security interest in, and shall take such other actions as
the Lessor may reasonably require to protect, the Collateral.
5.3 If sufficient credit has not been established with the Lessor’s credit department, the Lessor
may, in addition to the security interest granted by the Lessee under the Section 5.1 and 5.2,
require security, either in the form of prepayment or a standby irrevocable bank letter of credit,
or any other form of security, as the Lessor may determine in its sole and unencumbered discretion.
Any letter of credit must be opened in a format and by a bank acceptable to the Lessor.
5.4 If the Lessor’s requirements as to security are not satisfied within the time limits specified
by the Lessor, the Lessor shall have the option of canceling the Lease and/or proceeding against
the Lessee for damages occasioned by the Lessee’s failure to perform. The Lessor hereby reserves
the right in its absolute discretion to revise the credit terms applicable to the Lessee, and to
call for such further security as the Lessor deems necessary.
6. CEILING DOLLAR VALUE
6.1 “Ceiling Dollar Value” means the sum of $13 million plus the value of Manquiri Collateral as
defined and calculated under the Collateral Agreement.
6.2 Lessor and Lesee agree that if at any time the aggregate value of the Metal on lease hereunder
(as reasonably determined by the Lessor) should exceed the Ceiling Dollar Value, then the Lessor
may at its option, by notice to the Lessee, require that by the end of the business day immediately
following the day upon which such notice is given, the Lessee either:
| (i) | re-deliver to the Lessor a portion of the Metals sufficient to reduce the aggregate value of the leased Metal to the Ceiling Dollar Value; or |
| (ii) | purchase from the Lessor, at the Lessor’s quoted price, quantity of the Metals sufficient to reduce the aggregate value of the leased Metal to the Ceiling Dollar Value; or |
| (iii) | deposit, by wire transfer, funds equal to the dollar value of the leased Metal in excess of the Ceiling Dollar Value (the “Excess Funds”) into a margin account established with the Lessor, which will pay interest to the Lessee at a rate based on the average of the federal funds rate |
4
| during the period from the date of the first deposit of the Excess Funds to the date of the withdrawal of the Excess Funds. Upon the reduction of the aggregate value of the leased Metal to the Ceiling Dollar Value, Lessor shall immediately return the Excess Funds to Lessee. |
7. LEASEBACK
Where MIC is the Lessor in respect of any Lease, the Lessee will have the right to enter into one
or more Leases (each a “Leaseback”) under this Agreement as Lessor pursuant to a further
Confirmation and subject to the following terms and limitations:
| (i) | the location shall be the same as in the original Lease from MIC as Lessor; |
| (ii) | the quantity shall not exceed, in aggregate with any other Leasebacks, that of the original Lease from MIC as Lessor; |
| (iii) | the date of delivery shall be at least five Business Days prior to the date of return under the original Lease from MIC as Lessor; |
| (iv) | the date of return shall be the same as the date of return under the original Lease from MIC as Lessor. |
8. DEFAULT
8.1 The parties recognize and agree that each transaction under this Agreement is a “forward
contract” within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. 101(25). The following shall each constitute an “event
of default” by the relevant party: the relevant party and/or any guarantor of such party (a
“non-performing party”; the opposite party is sometimes referred to in this Section 8 as the
“performing party”) shall (i) default in the payment or performance of any material obligation to
the other party under this Agreement, any Confirmation, or the Collateral Agreement and such
default is not cured within three (3) business days of notice of such default to the non-performing
party; (ii) file a petition or otherwise commence any proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or similar law for the protection of creditors or have any such petition filed or
proceeding commenced against it; (iii) otherwise become bankrupt or insolvent (however evidenced);
(iv) be unable to pay its debts as they fall due; (v) have an administrator, receiver, liquidator
or other officer appointed over it or any of its assets, (vi) merge or become consolidated with any
other entity or transfer, by any means, all or substantially all of its assets to another entity if
the creditworthiness of the resulting, surviving or transferee entity is materially weaker than
that of the non-performing party immediately prior to such action as reasonably determined by the
performing party; (vii) fail to give adequate security for, or evidence of, its ability to perform
its obligations under this Agreement, any Confirmation, or the Collateral Agreement within two
business days of any request therefor in accordance with this Agreement or any reasonable request
therefor from the performing party; or (viii) disaffirm, disclaim, repudiate or reject, in whole or
in part, or challenge the validity of any guarantee issued in respect of such party.
5
8.2 Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the performing party shall, in addition to all
other rights and remedies available to it, have the right immediately to terminate the relevant
Leases by notice in writing to the non-performing party. Where the Lessee is the non-performing
party, the Lessor shall decide in its absolute discretion and inform the Lessee whether the Lessee
shall be required to immediately return the Leased Material to the Lessor or to immediately pay to
the Lessor its then market value (as determined by the Lessor in its absolute discretion based upon the current market price for the
relevant metal). Where the Lessee is the non-performing party, the Lessee shall in addition pay to
Lessor any accrued Lease Fees (pro-rated to the date of termination of any Lease). In the case of
an event of default described in sub-sections 8.1(ii) through to (viii) above, the performing party
and its affiliates shall, in their sole discretion, have the further right to terminate all other
outstanding transactions with the non-performing party by notice in writing to the non-performing
party.
8.3 The performing party and its affiliates shall determine and notify the non-performing party of
their aggregate loss resulting from any breach of any transaction hereunder by calculating the
difference, if any, between the price specified in each liquidated transaction and the market price
as of the date of liquidation for the relevant Metal or Metals that the non-performing party has
failed to return or deliver to the performing party. The non-performing party shall pay such
amount to the performing party and its affiliates in full within five business days of such notice
being given, with interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of nine (9) per cent or LIBOR
plus four (4) per cent (with LIBOR quoted on the first London banking day after the date of
termination).
8.4 The performing party and its affiliates may, in their sole discretion, aggregate, net and set
off amounts which they owe to the non-performing party against any amounts which the non-performing
party owes one or more of them under any transaction or otherwise, whether or not then due, so that
all such amounts are aggregated and netted to a single liquidated amount (the “net liquidation
payment”). For the purpose of any such calculation, the performing party and its affiliates may
convert amounts denominated in any other currency at such rate prevailing at the time of the
calculation as it shall reasonably select. If the calculation of the net liquidation payment
results in an amount payable by the performing party or its affiliates, the net liquidation payment
shall be paid to the non-performing party after deduction of reasonable costs and expenses incurred
by the performing party as a result of the non-performing party’s default. The performing party
and/or its affiliates shall notify the non-performing party of the amount of the net liquidation payment and the party owing such payment shall pay the net
liquidation payment in full to the other party within five business days of such notice, which
amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of nine (9) per cent or LIBOR
plus four (4) per cent (with LIBOR quoted on the first London banking day after the applicable date
of termination).
6
8.5 The non-performing party shall further indemnify and hold the performing party and its
affiliates harmless from any other losses, damages, cost and expenses including reasonable
attorney’s fees, incurred in connection with an event of default, termination or the exercise of
any remedies in relation thereto.
8.6 Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the performing party and its affiliates
shall not be required to pay to the non-performing party an amount due until the performing party
and its affiliates receive confirmation satisfactory to them, in their reasonable discretion, that
all obligations of any kind whatsoever of the non-performing party to make any payments to them
under this or any other contract have been or will be fully and finally performed; nor shall the
performing party or its affiliates be required to compensate the non-performing party for any
losses incurred by the non-performing party in connection with a default or termination hereunder.
8.7 The performing party’s and its affiliates’ rights under this provision shall be in addition to,
and not in limitation or exclusion of, any other rights which the performing party and/or its
affiliates may have (whether by agreement, operation or law or otherwise).
9. FORCE MAJEURE
9.1 “Force majeure” means an event which is beyond the control of a party and in which Metal
conforming to applicable form and purity specifications is not available from metals dealers and
not available on spot markets generally. Failure to pay or lack of funds, the availability of a
more attractive market or inefficiencies in operations do not constitute force majeure.
9.2 If a force majeure event prevents, inhibits or delays the performance under any Confirmation,
the party or parties whose performance is prevented, inhibited or delayed (the “declaring party”)
shall be relieved of any obligation or liability under this Agreement or any Confirmation to the
extent that such obligation or liability cannot be met because of such force majeure event, until
the expiration of a reasonable time after termination of such disability.
9.3 The declaring party agrees to notify the other party (the “non-declaring party”) of the
occurrence of the force majeure event as soon as possible including reasonably full particulars of
such force majeure event.
9.4 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a force majeure event delays performance for a period of 30
days or more, the non-declaring party shall have the right to terminate any affected outstanding
Leases effective upon providing notice to the declaring party. In no event shall force majeure
entitle either party to suspend its obligations to make payments then due for products delivered
under a Confirmation.
7
10. TAXES
10.1 Lessee shall be responsible for any value added, sales and use, property , withholding, state
excise and similar taxes (such taxes, “Covered Taxes”) due on any Metal leased hereunder, any Lease
or other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event a Covered Tax is properly
assessed or levied by a governmental unit against Lessor with respect to any Metal leased
hereunder, any Lease or other transaction contemplated by this Agreement and Lessor pays such tax
to the governmental unit, Lessor shall add the amount of such tax to the fees payable pursuant to
the given transaction and Lessee is required to pay the amount of such tax to Lessor. In the event
that a Covered Tax is properly assessed or levied by a governmental unit against the Lessee with
the respect to any Lease or transaction contemplated by this Agreement, then Lessee shall timely
pay such taxes to the governmental unit. A Covered Tax is properly assessed or levied where the
plain language of the governing law provides for assessment or levy. Lessee agrees to indemnify
Lessor against all such Covered Taxes and any interest, penalties, or other similar charges that
may be imposed in connection with the Metal, Lease or transactions.
10.2 Each party shall use reasonable efforts to implement the provisions of and to administer this
agreement in accordance with their intent to minimize taxes, so long as neither party is materially
adversely affected by such efforts. To claim an exemption from payment of a Covered Tax, Lessor
shall provide a certificate of exemption or appropriate evidence of exemption from such Covered Tax
to the Lessee. Both parties agree to cooperate with each other in obtaining any exemption.
10.3 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Lease Fee shall be paid to Lessor
without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Covered Taxes unless such deduction
or withholding is required by applicable law. If such deduction or withholding is required, then
Lessee shall (i) promptly notify Lessor of such requirement, (ii) promptly pay to the relevant
authorities the full amount required to be withheld or deducted and promptly forward to Lessor an
official receipt evidencing such payment to such authorities; and
(iii) promptly pay to Lessor such additional amount as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount
actually received by Lessor equals the full amount Lessor would have received had no such deduction
or withholding been required; provided that if the incurrence of such Covered Tax is attributable
to Lessor’s failure to provide a certification of exemption or appropriate evidence of exemption,
as required under Section 10.2 hereof, where such an exemption was available to Lessor, then Lessee
shall not be liable for such Covered Tax (whether by reimbursement, indemnification, gross-up or
otherwise) under this Agreement. The provisions of Sections 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 shall not accrue
to the benefit of an assignee or transferee of Lessor unless such assignment or transfer was done
in compliance with Section 13.1.
11 ATTORNEY’S FEES
Each party shall be entitled to full indemnification from the other party of its reasonable
attorney’s fees and related reasonable costs/expenses (including expert
8
witness fees, costs and
expenses) for any cause of action, claim or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or
any Confirmation as to which such indemnified party prevails, whether in an arbitration, a court of
law, administrative proceeding, or through any other form of dispute resolution.
12. NOTICES
All notices, requests, and other communications hereunder shall be delivered or given by registered
mail, returned receipt requested, or by facsimile and deemed to have been given on the date
received (if delivered or sent by facsimile), or on the date stated in the return mail receipt if

(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

be illegal, invalid, or otherwise unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder
of this Agreement (and of such provision) shall not be affected except to the extent necessary to
