THE SECURITY INTEREST; SECURED OBLIGATIONS

Section 2.01 Security Interest. To secure the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations (as defined below) as and when due, each Pledgor hereby conveys, pledges, assigns and transfers to the Secured Party, and grants to the Secured Party a security interest (the “Security Interest”) in, all right, title, claim and interest of such Pledgor in and to the following

Collateral Agreement

property, whether now owned and existing or hereafter acquired or arising, and wherever located (such property being, collectively, the “Collateral”):

(a) the Specified Collateral and all certificates and instruments representing or evidencing the Specified Collateral;

(b) any and all securities in, or security entitlements in, any issuer of or debtor under any of the Specified Collateral, or any successor to any such issuer or debtor, in each case that such Pledgor acquires or has the right to acquire from time to time in any manner in substitution for any of the foregoing and any and all certificates and instruments representing or evidencing such securities; and

(c) any and all proceeds, including insurance proceeds, and products of any of the foregoing, whether now held and existing or hereafter acquired or arising, including any and all cash, securities, instruments and other property from time to time paid, payable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the foregoing (collectively, the “Proceeds”).

Notwithstanding the above provisions of this Section 2.01, the security interest granted in the Australia Collateral by Coeur Australia under this Agreement will at all times be limited to $9,000,000.00, notwithstanding the amount of funds then on deposit in the Pledged Account.

Section 2.02 Secured Obligations. The Security Interest shall secure the due and punctual payment and performance of any and all present and future obligations and liabilities of the Parent of every type or description to the Secured Party, or any of its successors or assigns, or any Person entitled to indemnification under the Lease Agreement, in each case arising under or in connection with the Lease Agreement and this Agreement, whether for lease payments, cash collateral cover, fees, expenses, indemnities or other amounts (including attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs); in each case whether due or not due, direct or indirect, joint and/or several, absolute or contingent, voluntary or involuntary, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined, now or hereafter existing, extended, renewed or restructured, whether or not from time to time decreased or extinguished and later increased, created or incurred, whether or not arising after the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code (including post-petition interest) and whether or not allowed or allowable as a claim in any such proceeding, and whether or not recovery of any such obligation or liability may be barred by a statute of limitations and whether or not such obligation or liability may otherwise be unenforceable; except for any Uncollateralized Portion of such obligations and liabilities (all obligations and liabilities described in this Section 2.02 are collectively referred to as the “Secured Obligations”).

Section 2.03 Limitations; No Recourse. If the obligations of any Pledgor hereunder otherwise would be subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable state law relating to fraudulent conveyances or fraudulent transfers, taking into consideration such Pledgor’s rights of reimbursement and indemnity, if any, from the Parent with respect to amounts paid by such Pledgor, then such obligations hereby are reduced to the largest amount that would make them not subject to such avoidance. Any Person asserting that such Pledgor’s obligations are so avoidable shall have the burden (including the burden of production

Collateral Agreement

and of persuasion) of proving (a) that, without giving effect to this Section 2.03, such Pledgor’s obligations hereunder would be avoidable and (b) the extent to which such obligations are reduced by operation of this Section 2.03.

The obligations of Coeur Australia hereunder are limited to the grant of the Security Interest in the Collateral owned by Coeur Australia, with no recourse to any other assets or properties of Coeur Australia or to Coeur Australia.

ARTICLE III

WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS

The Parent makes the following representations and warranties, all of which shall survive until termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.07.

Section 3.01 Financing Statements; Perfection, etc. Financing statements containing a true and correct description of the Collateral have been reviewed by the Parent and are in proper form for filing in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Idaho and in each other jurisdiction necessary to establish a valid and perfected Lien in favor of the Secured Party in all Collateral in which a Lien may be perfected by filing under the UCC, and no further or subsequent filing, recording or registration of financing statements is necessary under the UCC in any such jurisdiction, except as provided under applicable law with respect to the filing of continuation statements. If actions other than filing such financing statements under the UCC should reasonably be necessary or desirable to perfect and protect such security interest under other applicable law, each Pledgor shall provide to the Secured Party upon request a true and correct description of the Collateral and such other information as the Secured Party may request that will enable it to establish a valid and perfected Lien in favor of the Secured Party in the Collateral. Upon the filing of each such financing statement in the filing office set forth opposite the applicable Pledgor’s name on Schedule 3.02 or, if other actions are reasonably necessary or desirable to perfect such security interest under applicable law, upon completion of such other actions, the Secured Party will have a valid and fully perfected first priority (subject to Permitted Liens) Lien on the Collateral. There are no financing statements on file in any governmental office covering any Collateral, other than financing statements in favor of the Secured Party or in respect of Permitted Liens.

Section 3.02 Locations and Names. Schedule 3.02 truly and correctly sets forth (a) each Pledgor’s chief executive office and principal place of business on the date hereof and at any time during the last four months, (b) all other places of business of each Pledgor on the date hereof or at any time during the last five years, (c) each Pledgor’s form and jurisdiction of organization, its identification number in the records of such jurisdiction and its federal tax identification number, (d) each Pledgor’s name as it appears in the official filings in the state of its organization, (e) all prior or current legal names and trade names used within the five years ended on the date hereof to identify any Pledgor in its business or in the ownership of its properties, and (f) the filing offices where a financing statement is required to be filed with respect to each Pledgor to perfect the Security Interest in the Collateral.

Collateral Agreement

Section 3.03 Title to Collateral. The Pledgors, collectively, have good title to all Collateral and “rights” or the power to transfer “rights” in all other Collateral within the meaning of Section 9-203 of the UCC. The Pledgors’ title to all Collateral is free of adverse claims, Liens and restrictions on transfer or pledge to any firm, person or entity other than Permitted Liens.

Section 3.04 Fraudulent Transfers. Each Pledgor is solvent and will be solvent immediately after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Lease Agreement to occur on the effective date thereof. No transfer of property is being made by any Pledgor and no obligation is being incurred by any Pledgor in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Lease Agreement with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors of any Pledgor.

Section 3.05 Authorization. Each of the Pledgors is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its place of organization and has the requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now being conducted. The information contained herein about each of the Pledgors and the Collateral is true and correct. This Agreement and any writings related to this Agreement have been duly executed and delivered by each of the Pledgors and are the legal, valid and binding obligations of each of the Pledgors, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, and do not violate, conflict with or result in a breach under any of the Pledgors’ articles of organization or bylaws (or other similar organizational documents) or any agreement, instrument, lease, restriction, obligation, law, rule, regulation, or court or administrative order to which any of the Pledgors or the Collateral is subject.

Section 3.06 Pledged Account. The Pledged Account is the specified account into which all silver proceeds under the Amended and Restated Silver Sale and Purchase Agreement between Coeur Australia and Cobar Operation Pty Limited (the “Cobar Silver Sale Agreement”) are paid to Coeur Australia. The Pledged Account is used for the limited purpose of receiving payments under the Cobar Silver Sale Agreement and remitting such payments to the Parent for use by the Parent in its business (the “Limited Purpose”). No breach or event of default under any agreement, instrument, lease, restriction, obligation, applicable law or court or administrative order to which Coeur Australia and/or its properties is subject, including the Cobar Silver Sale Agreement, would directly result from the Parent’s bankruptcy or insolvency or the Parent’s inability to pay its debts as they become due. Coeur Australia’s rights under the Cobar Silver Sale Agreement are neither affected nor terminated by (i) the Parent becoming unable to pay its debts as they become due, (ii) the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Parent or (iii) the occurrence of any other event with respect to the Parent that would, if it occurred with respect to Coeur Australia, be an event of default under either or both of such agreements.

Section 3.07 Coeur Australia. Coeur Australia is a limited purpose company organized under the laws of Australia whose primary activity is to receive payments under the Cobar Silver Sale Agreement and to remit such payments to the Parent, and to conduct any ancillary business and activities necessary to accomplish such receipts and remittances.

(ii) Each applicable Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain and use free of the Security Interest any and all cash and other property paid or otherwise distributed in respect of the Collateral, including proceeds of sales of the Refinery Collateral by JM in the ordinary course of business pursuant to the Refining Agreements (provided that no Shortfall exists at the time of any such sale or would occur as a result thereof and no Metal Blockage Notice has been delivered and not rescinded) and remittance by Coeur Australia of any funds in the Pledged Account to the Parent.

(b) So long as a Shortfall shall exist, at the sole option of the Secured Party, any or all rights of the applicable Pledgor to receive cash and other property distributed in respect of Refinery Collateral as permitted by subsections (a)(i) and (a)(ii) above shall cease.

(c) So long as an Event of Default shall exist, at the sole option of the Secured Party, (i) any or all rights of the applicable Pledgor to exercise management and other consensual rights and to receive cash and other property distributed in respect of Collateral as permitted by subsections (a)(i) and (a)(ii) above shall cease, (ii) the Secured Party shall have the right to deliver a Metals Blockage Notice to JM and (iii) the Secured Party, if and when it notifies the applicable Pledgor and the Parent of the exercise of such option, shall have the sole right to exercise any or all such management and other consensual rights and to receive and to hold as Collateral any or all such cash and other property.

(d) All cash and other property required to be delivered to the Secured Party hereunder shall, if received by any Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Secured Party, be segregated from the other property of such Pledgor, and promptly be delivered to the Secured Party in the same form as so received (with any appropriate endorsements or assignments).

Section 4.12 Control of Pledged Account.

(a) The Parent shall cause the Pledged Account to be, at all times, subject to an account control agreement (an “Account Control Agreement”) that provides the Secured Party with “control” (as defined in the UCC) over the Pledged Account and that is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Secured Party ( provided, that an account control agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto shall be so satisfactory). The Parent shall cause (i) Coeur Australia to keep the Pledged Account as the specified account into which payments under the Cobar Silver Sale Agreement are deposited; (ii) Coeur Australia to comply in all material respects with its obligations under the Restricted Account Agreement and the Cobar Silver Sale Agreement and not to amend or terminate such agreements without the prior written consent of

Collateral Agreement

the Secured Party; and (iii) Coeur Australia to instruct Cobar Operation Pty Limited to make payments under the Cobar Silver Sale Agreement to the Pledged Account.

(b) If the Restricted Account Agreement is terminated, then the Parent shall, no later than 3 Business Days prior to such termination (or, if the Parent first obtains knowledge of such termination or intended termination less than 3 Business Days prior to its occurrence, then no later than 1 Business Day after the Parent first obtains such knowledge), at the Parent’s option, (x) (i) establish a deposit account with a different financial institution as depositary, which new deposit account shall be subject to an account control agreement that provides the Secured Party with “control” (as defined in the UCC) over such deposit account and that is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Secured Party ( provided, that an account control agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto shall be so satisfactory), which account control agreement shall thereafter be deemed the Account Control Agreement for purposes of this Agreement and (ii) instruct Cobar Operation Pty Limited to make payments under the Cobar Silver Sale Agreement to such new deposit account, which deposit account shall thereafter be deemed the Pledged Account for purposes of this Agreement, or (y) permit the Secured Party to deliver payment instructions in the form of Exhibit C, which instructions direct Cobar Operation Pty Limited to make payments under the Cobar Silver Sale Agreement to an account designated by the Secured Party in its sole discretion (“Cobar Payment Instructions”).

Section 4.13 Refining Agreements.

(a) The Parent shall cause JM to enter into and maintain the Refinery Pledge Agreement with the Parent and the Secured Party, substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto and not to amend or terminate such agreement without the prior written consent of the Secured Party. The Parent will join with the Secured Party in notifying JM of the Security Interest and in obtaining acknowledgment from JM that it is holding the Collateral described in the Refinery Pledge Agreement for the benefit of the Secured Party. The Parent shall comply , and shall cause each member of the Coeur Group to comply, in all material respects with its obligations under the Silver Doré Sales Agreements, Refining Agreements and Refining Contract Rights Agreement and shall not amend or terminate or cause any member of the Coeur Group to amend or terminate the Silver Doré Sales Agreements, Refining Agreements or Refining Contract Rights Agreement without the prior written consent of the Secured Party. The Parent shall cause JM to maintain insurance on the silver and gold doré as required under the respective Refining Agreements. At the request of the Secured Party from time to time, the Parent will cause JM to provide certificates of insurance in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party evidencing that the silver and gold doré constituting part of the Collateral is insured as required under the Refining Agreements.

(b) The value of the Refinery Collateral shall be reasonably calculated by the Secured Party from time to time to be the product of (x) the aggregate amount of market deliverable silver or gold (calculated in xxxx ounces) that is the subject of the Refining Agreements and either will be extracted from doré in the possession of JM at one of its refinery facilities or has been extracted from such doré and is in the possession of JM at one of its refinery facilities, and (y) the London silver or gold fix of one (1) xxxx ounce of silver or gold, as applicable, on the day on which the calculation is made.

Collateral Agreement

(c) So long as no Event of Default shall exist, the Parent shall be obligated to provide Refinery Collateral only to the extent of the lesser of (i) such quantity that has a value, calculated as specified above in Section 4.13(b), equal to the Refinery Collateral Threshold and (ii) all the Refinery Collateral (such amount, the “Refinery Collateral Minimum”).

(d) If the sum of

L/C Amount Threshold + Refinery Collateral Minimum + Australia Collateral Threshold

is less than

Outstanding Gold Obligation Amount — Uncollateralized Portion

(the amount by which (L/C Amount Threshold + Refinery Collateral Minimum+ Australia Collateral Threshold) is less than (Outstanding Gold Obligation Amount — Uncollateralized Portion) being called a “Shortfall”) and such Shortfall exceeds $300,000.00 , then the Secured Party may send a notice of such Shortfall to the Parent (such notice a “Shortfall Notice”). The Parent shall, within three Business Days of its receipt of such notice and at its option, perform either of the following actions (or some ratable combination thereof) in an amount of xxxx ounces sufficient to make up the Shortfall (based on the London silver or gold fix on the day on which the applicable calculation of the Shortfall had been made): (i) deliver to JM, in the aggregate, additional silver or gold doré or (ii) deposit London Good Silver Bars to the unallocated account maintained by the Secured Party with a member of the London Bullion Market Association designated by the Secured Party, provided that the Secured Party shall pay interest on such delivered London Good Silver Bars at a rate reasonably determined by the Secured Party.

When the applicable Shortfall no longer exists, which shall be communicated to the Secured Party by the Parent, the Secured Party shall, if the Parent performed as contemplated in clause (i) above, notify JM, or if the Parent performed as contemplated in clause (ii) above, return the delivered London Good Silver Bars to the Parent together with any accrued interest thereon.

Section 4.14 Release of Credit Support.

(a) On the first Business Day of each month, the Secured Party shall calculate the Outstanding Gold Obligation Amount (any such calculation, a “Gold Obligation Calculation”) and shall provide reasonable notice to Parent of (i) any such Gold Obligation Calculation and (ii) the Outstanding Gold Obligation Amount.

(b) Upon the termination of this agreement pursuant to Section 6.07, the Secured Party shall send to the Parent the original copy of the letter of credit, or the original copy of each letter of credit, as applicable, constituting the Xxxxx Fargo L/C, accompanied by a document executed by the Secured Party, in the form required by Xxxxx Fargo for such purpose, stating that the Secured Party relinquishes all rights as a beneficiary under the Xxxxx Fargo L/C; and the Parent shall be entitled to terminate the Xxxxx Fargo L/C, the Security Interest granted by the Pledgors shall automatically, and with no further action or notice required by any party, terminate, and all of the Collateral pledged by the Pledgors (including without limitation their

Collateral Agreement

respective interests in the Refining Agreements) shall be automatically released from such Security Interest. In connection with such release, the Secured Party shall execute and deliver to JM a notice terminating the Refinery Pledge Agreements, a release of the Xxxxx Fargo L/C, in the form required by Xxxxx Fargo for such purpose, and such other instruments, releases or other documents as the Parent may request in connection therewith, all in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.08(c).

Section 4.15 Coeur Australia. The Parent agrees that (a) the Parent will at all times own all outstanding shares of Coeur Australia, (b) the Parent will cause Coeur Australia to maintain its primary activity as described in Section 3.07 above and not conduct any business other than the Limited Purpose, and (c) the Parent shall cause Coeur Australia to keep in full force and effect its existence. The Parent shall not permit Coeur Australia to create, assume or suffer to exist any indebtedness owing to any affiliate of Coeur Australia or guarantee any obligation of any of its affiliates. Notwithstanding the amount of funds on deposit in the Pledged Account from time to time, at no time will the amount of Australia Collateral subject to the security interest granted by Coeur Australia under this Agreement exceed $9,000,000.00 (such amount, the “Australia Collateral Maximum”. If at any time the aggregate funds received by Secured Party as a result of (a) Secured Party’s transfers of funds to it pursuant to an Account Control Agreement and (b) delivery by the Secured Party of Cobar Payment Instructions shall exceed the Australia Collateral Maximum, then Secured Party will, within two Business Days of receipt of any such excess, transfer any such excess to an account designated by Coeur Australia in its sole discretion. Such obligation of Secured Party to transfer funds received in excess of the Australia Collateral Maximum shall apply not only to all amounts initially received by Secured Party upon an exercise of its rights pursuant an Account Control Agreement or delivery of Cobar Payment Instructions, but also to all amounts subsequently received by Secured Party pursuant to an Account Control Agreement or the Cobar Payment Instructions.

If an Event of Default occurs, the Parent will and will cause Coeur Australia to maintain in full force and effect an Account Control Agreement and Cobar Payment Instructions until such time as funds in an aggregate amount equal to the Australia Collateral Threshold are provided to Secured Party pursuant to such Account Control Agreement and Cobar Payment Instructions.

ARTICLE V

EVENTS OF DEFAULT; RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT

“Event of Default” means the occurrence of one or more following events:

	(i)		The occurrence of one or more “events of default” (as defined in the Lease Agreement) by the Parent;

	(ii)		A default by any Pledgor in the payment or performance of any material obligation owing to the Secured Party under this Agreement which is not cured within three (3) Business Days of notice of such default to that Pledgor;

Collateral Agreement

	(iii)		Any representation or warranty made by any Pledgor to the Secured Party in this Agreement is untrue or inaccurate in any material respect as of the date made or deemed made;

	(iv)		A filing by any Pledgor of a petition or other commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar law for the protection of creditors, or the filing of any such petition or commencement of any such proceeding against it;

	(v)		A Pledgor’s otherwise becoming bankrupt or insolvent (however evidenced);

	(vi)		A Pledgor’s inability to pay its debts as they become due;

	(vii)		The appointment of an administrator, receiver, liquidator or other officer over a Pledgor or any of its assets;

	(viii)		A Pledgor’s merger or consolidation with any other entity or the transfer, by any means, of all or substantially all of a Pledgor’s assets to another entity if the creditworthiness of the resulting, surviving or transferee entity is materially weaker than that of the Pledgor immediately prior to such action as reasonably determined by the Secured Party;

	(ix)		Any Pledgor ceases to operate a material part of its business; or

	(x)		A Pledgor’s disaffirmance, disclaimer, repudiation, or rejection, in whole or in part, or challenge to the validity of, any guarantee issued in respect of that Pledgor.

Section 5.02 Remedies. If (a) upon or after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Secured Party elects to exercise remedies under this Agreement or (b) there occurs an “event of default” (as defined in the Lease Agreement) by the Parent of a type described in clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) of Section 8.1 of the Lease Agreement (the occurrence of any such event shall be referred to as an “Acceleration”), then, whether or not all the Secured Obligations shall have become immediately due and payable, subject to Section 5.05:

(a) In addition to all its other rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement and applicable law, the Secured Party shall have, and may exercise, any and all of the rights, powers and remedies of a secured party under the UCC, all of which rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative and not exclusive, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(b) The Secured Party shall have the right, all at the Secured Party’s sole option and as the Secured Party in its discretion may deem necessary or advisable, to do any or all of the following:

(i) foreclose the Security Interest by any available judicial procedure or without judicial process; and

Collateral Agreement

(ii) exercise any and all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies of an owner of the Collateral all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Secured Party shall have no duty to the Parent to exercise any such right, power or privilege and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

(c) The Secured Party shall have the right to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any Collateral at public or private sale or sales, with such notice as may be required by Section 5.04, in lots or in bulk, at any exchange, over the counter or at any of the Secured Party’s offices or elsewhere, for cash or on credit, with or without representations or warranties, all as the Secured Party, in its discretion, may deem advisable. Without limitation, the Secured Party may specifically disclaim any warranties of title and the like. The Collateral need not be present at any such sales. If sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Secured Party until the sale price is paid by the purchaser thereof, but the Secured Party shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to prepare the Collateral for sale and shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Secured Party may purchase all or any part of the Collateral at public or, if permitted by applicable law, private sale, and in lieu of actual payment of the purchase price, the Secured Party may apply against such purchase price any amount of the Secured Obligations.

(d) The Secured Party may comply with any applicable law (other than the UCC) in connection with any exercise of remedies hereunder and such compliance shall not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of such exercise of remedies. Without limitation, the Secured Party shall not be required to register or qualify any of the Collateral that constitutes securities under applicable state or federal securities laws in connection with any sale or other disposition thereof if such disposition is effected in a manner that complies with all applicable federal and state securities laws. The Secured Party shall be authorized at any such disposition (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are “accredited investors” or “qualified institutional buyers” under applicable law and purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof. If any such Collateral is sold at private sale, the Parent agrees that if such Collateral is sold in a manner that the Secured Party in good faith believes to be reasonable under the circumstances then existing, then (A) the sale shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable in all respects, (B) the Parent shall not be entitled to a credit against the Secured Obligations in an amount in excess of the purchase price, and (C) the Secured Party shall not incur any liability or responsibility to the Parent in connection therewith, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized at a public sale. The Parent recognizes that a ready market may not exist for such Collateral if it is not regularly traded on a recognized securities exchange, and that a sale by the Secured Party of any such Collateral for an amount substantially less than the price that might have been achieved had the Collateral been so traded may be commercially reasonable in view of the difficulties that may be encountered in attempting to sell Collateral that is privately traded.

Collateral Agreement

Section 5.03 Application of Proceeds.

(a) Any cash proceeds received by the Secured Party in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral following the occurrence of an Acceleration or otherwise (including insurance proceeds) may be held by the Secured Party as Collateral and/or then or at any time thereafter applied as follows:

(i) first, to pay all advances, charges, costs and expenses payable to the Secured Party pursuant to Section 6.01; and

(ii) to pay the Secured Obligations in the order determined by the Secured Party in its discretion.

(b) The Parent and any other Person then obligated therefor (which, for clarity, shall not include the Pledgors) shall pay to the Secured Party on demand any deficiency with regard to the Secured Obligations that may remain after such sale, collection or realization of, from or upon the Collateral.

Section 5.04 Notice. Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, the Secured Party will send or otherwise make available to the Parent reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time on or after which any private sale of any Collateral is to be made. Each of the Pledgors agrees that any notice required to be given by the Secured Party of a sale or other disposition of Collateral, or any other intended action by the Secured Party, that is received in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 6.04 ten days prior to such proposed action shall constitute commercially reasonable and fair notice thereof to each of the Pledgors. Parent agrees that any notice required to be given by the Secured Party in connection with Section 4.14(a) that is received within ten days of a Gold Obligation Calculation shall constitute reasonable notice. The Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each of the Pledgors hereby waives any right to receive notice of any public or private sale of any Collateral or other security for the Secured Obligations except as expressly provided for in this Section.

Section 5.05 Order of Exercise of Remedies. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, (i) the Secured Party shall not exercise its remedies in respect of the Australia Collateral or exercise its right to draw under the Xxxxx Fargo L/C until it has exhausted all remedies available to it in respect of the Refinery Collateral, including its rights in any Refinery Collateral, including any quantity of silver or gold doré delivered and London Good Silver Bars deposited pursuant to Section 4.13(d), in excess of such quantity that has a value, calculated as specified above in Section 4.13(b), equal to the Refinery Collateral Threshold; and (ii) the Secured Party shall not exercise its remedies in respect of the Australia Collateral until it has exhausted its right to draw under the Xxxxx Fargo L/C, subject to the L/C Amount Threshold. In any exercise of its remedies hereunder, the Secured Party shall be entitled to an amount no greater than the sum of Total Collateral Requirement and, in the event of a Shortfall, the quantity of silver or gold doré delivered and London Good Silver Bars deposited pursuant to Section 4.13(d).

No failure or delay on the part of the Secured Party in the exercise of any power, right or remedy under this Agreement shall impair such power, right or remedy or shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or remedy preclude other or further exercise of such or any other power, right or remedy.

Section 6.05 Successors and Assigns.

Collateral Agreement

Section 6.06 Payments Set Aside. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, this Agreement, the Secured Obligations and the Security Interest shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment, or any part thereof, of any or all of the Secured Obligations is rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be restored or returned by the Secured Party in connection with any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving the Parent, any other party liable with respect to the Secured Obligations or otherwise, if the proceeds of any Collateral are required to be returned by the Secured Party under any such circumstances, or if the Secured Party elects to return any such payment or proceeds or any part thereof in its discretion, all as though such payment had not been made or such proceeds not been received.

Section 6.07 Continuing Security Interest; Termination.

Section 6.08 Arbitration.

(a) The parties agree that any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or any breach hereof, shall be settled by arbitration conducted by the American Arbitration Association in New York, New York, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association.

Collateral Agreement

marshalling of the Collateral upon any sale or otherwise to direct the order in which the Collateral shall be sold; (f) any setoff; and (g) any rights to require the Secured Party to proceed against any Person, proceed against or exhaust any Collateral or any other security interests or guaranties or pursue any other remedy in the Secured Party’s power, or to pursue any of such rights in any particular order or manner, and any defenses arising by reason of any disability or defense of any Person.

Section 6.10 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by means of the exchange of signed counterparts of the Agreement, including by facsimile or electronic (e.g. PDF) transmission, each of which counterparts, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. In the case of an Agreement being executed by facsimile or electronic transmission, as soon as practicable after such transmission, the Secured Party shall send two (2) signed counterparts of the Agreement to each Pledgor, and each Pledgor shall sign and return one copy of the Agreement to the Secured Party; provided, however, that the failure by either party to deliver signed hard copies after the facsimile transmissions shall not affect the validity of the Agreement.

Section 6.11 Complete Agreement. This Agreement, together with the exhibits and schedules hereto and the Lease Agreement, is intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement regarding the subject matter hereof and as a complete and exclusive statement of the terms and conditions of such agreement.

Section 6.12 Limitation of Liability. No claim shall be made by any Pledgor against the Secured Party or the affiliates, directors, officers, employees or agents of the Secured Party for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or under any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Lease Agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and each Pledgor hereby waives, releases and agrees not to xxx upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

Section 6.13 WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY.

This Restricted Account and Securities Account Control Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of the date specified on the initial signature page of this Agreement, is entered into by and among CDE Australia PTY LTD (“Company”), Mitsubishi International Corporation, a New York Corporation (“Secured Party”) and [Bank] (“Bank”), and sets forth the rights of Secured Party and the obligations of Bank with respect to the deposit accounts of Company at Bank identified at the end of this Agreement as the Restricted Accounts (each hereinafter referred to individually as a “Restricted Account” and collectively as the “Restricted Accounts”) and each securities account of Company at Bank linked to any Restricted Account by a sweep mechanism, provided that such securities account either (i) bears an account number identical to the linked Restricted Account or (ii) is separately identified by number at the end of this Agreement as a Securities Account (each hereinafter referred to individually as a “Securities Account” and collectively as “Securities Accounts”). As used in this Agreement, the term “Restricted Account” also refers to each “Preferred Option Sweep Account” (each hereinafter an “Offshore Account”) maintained by Company with Bank and linked to another Restricted Account by a sweep mechanism. Company and Secured Party understand and acknowledge that each Restricted Account which is an Offshore Account is a subaccount, in the name of Company, of an offshore U.S. Dollar-denominated deposit account of Bank maintained with Bank’s Grand Cayman branch, and that any transfer of funds into or out of the Offshore Account, pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement or otherwise, must pass through the domestic Restricted Account to which the Offshore Account is specifically linked. Each account numerically designated as a Restricted Account includes, for purposes of this Agreement, and without the necessity of separately listing subaccount numbers, all subaccounts presently existing or hereafter established for deposit reporting purposes and integrated with the numerically designated Restricted Account by an arrangement in which deposits made through subaccounts are posted only to the designated Restricted Account.

Secured Party’s Interest in Restricted Accounts and Securities Accounts. Secured Party represents that it has extended credit to Company and has been granted a security interest in the Restricted Accounts and Securities Accounts. Company hereby confirms, and Bank hereby acknowledges, the security interest granted by Company to Secured Party in all of Company’s right, title and interest in and to (i) the Restricted Accounts and all funds now or hereafter on deposit in or payable or withdrawable from the Restricted Accounts (the “Restricted Account Funds”), and (ii) the Securities Accounts and all financial assets, security entitlements, investment property, and other property and the proceeds thereof now or at any time hereafter held in the Securities Accounts (the “Securities Account Assets”). (As used herein, the terms “investment property,” “financial asset”, “entitlement order” and “security entitlement” shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Uniform Commercial Code of the state whose law governs this Agreement. The parties hereby expressly agree that all property, including without limitation, cash, certificates of deposit and mutual funds, at any time held in any of the Securities Accounts is to be treated as a “financial asset”.) Except as specifically provided otherwise in this Agreement, Company has given Secured Party complete control over the Restricted Accounts, the Restricted Account Funds, the Securities Accounts, and the Securities Account Assets. Company and Secured Party desire to enter into this Agreement to further the arrangements between Secured Party and Company regarding the Restricted Accounts and the Securities Accounts.

Access to Restricted Accounts and Securities Accounts. Secured Party agrees that until Bank receives, and has had a reasonable opportunity to act upon, written instructions from

B-1

Secured Party directing that Company no longer have access to any Restricted Account Funds or Securities Account Assets (the “Instructions”), Company will be allowed access to the Restricted Account Funds, and access to the Securities Account Assets through redemption of Securities Account Assets and transfer of the proceeds of such redemption in each case to the applicable Restricted Account. After Bank receives the Instructions, (a) Company will no longer be allowed access to the Restricted Account Funds or Securities Account Assets, and (b) Secured Party will have the exclusive right to direct the disposition of all Restricted Account Funds and Securities Account Assets; and Bank agrees to transfer the Restricted Account Funds and Securities Account Assets to Secured Party in accordance with the provisions of Section 4 below, subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Company agrees that the Restricted Account Funds and Securities Account Assets should be paid and/or delivered to Secured Party after Bank receives the Instructions, and hereby irrevocably authorizes Bank to comply with the Instructions even if Company objects in any way to the Instructions.

Balance Reports. Bank agrees, at the telephone request of Secured Party on any day on which Bank is open to conduct its regular banking business other than a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday (a “Business Day”), to make available to Secured Party a report (“Balance Report”) showing the available balance in the Restricted Accounts and Securities Accounts as of the beginning of such Business Day, either on-line or by facsimile transmission, at Bank’s option. Company expressly consents to this transmission of information.

Transfers to Secured Party. Bank agrees that on each Business Day after it receives the Instructions it will transfer to the Secured Party’s account specified at the end of this Agreement with the bank specified at the end of this Agreement or (if no account is so specified) to such account as Secured Party specifies in the Instructions (in either case, the “Secured Party Account”) the full amount of the available balance in the Restricted Accounts at the beginning of such Business Day, including all Restricted Account Funds and Securities Account Assets in all Offshore Accounts or Securities Accounts linked to the Restricted Accounts. Bank will use the Fedwire system to make each funds transfer unless for any reason the Fedwire system is unavailable, in which case Bank will determine the funds transfer system to be used in making each funds transfer and the means by which each transfer will be made. Bank, Secured Party and Company each agree that Bank will, without further consent of Company, comply with (i) instructions given to Bank by Secured Party directing disposition of funds in the Restricted Accounts, and (ii) entitlement orders originated by Secured Party directing disposition of Securities Account Assets in the Securities Accounts, subject otherwise to the terms of this Agreement and Bank’s standard policies, procedures and documentation in effect from time to time governing the type of disposition requested. Except as otherwise required by law, Bank will not agree with any third party to comply with instructions or entitlement orders originated by such third party for disposition of Restricted Account Funds in any of the Restricted Accounts or Securities Account Assets in any of the Securities Accounts.

Returned Items. Secured Party and Company understand and agree that the face amount (“Returned Item Amount”) of each Returned Item will be paid by Bank debiting the Restricted Account into which such Returned Item was originally deposited, without prior notice to Secured Party or Company. As used in this Agreement, the term “Returned Item” means (i) any item deposited to a Restricted Account and returned unpaid, whether for insufficient funds or for any other reason, and without regard to the timeliness of such return or the occurrence or timeliness of any drawee’s notice of non-payment; (ii) any item subject to a claim against Bank of breach of transfer or presentment warranty under the Uniform Commercial Code (as adopted in the applicable state) or Regulation CC (12 C.F.R. §229), as in effect from time to time; (iii) any automated clearing house (“ACH”) entry credited to a Restricted Account and returned unpaid or subject to an adjustment entry under applicable clearing house rules, whether for insufficient funds or for any other reason, and without regard to the timeliness of such return or adjustment; (iv) any credit to a Restricted Account from a merchant card transaction, against which a contractual demand for chargeback has been made; and (v) any credit to a Restricted Account

B-2

made in error. Company agrees to pay all Returned Item Amounts immediately on demand, without setoff or counterclaim, to the extent there are not sufficient funds in the applicable Restricted Account to cover the Returned Item Amounts on the day they are to be debited from the Restricted Account. Secured Party agrees to pay all Returned Item Amounts within thirty (30) calendar days after demand, without setoff or counterclaim, to the extent that (i) the Returned Item Amounts are not paid in full by Company within fifteen (15) calendar days after demand on Company by Bank, and (ii) Secured Party has received proceeds from the corresponding Returned Items.

Settlement Items. Secured Party and Company understand and agree that the face amount (“Settlement Item Amount”) of each Settlement Item will be paid by Bank debiting the applicable Restricted Account, without prior notice to Secured Party or Company. As used in this Agreement, the term “Settlement Item” means (i) each check or other payment order drawn on or payable against any controlled disbursement account or other deposit account at any time linked to a Restricted Account by a zero balance account connection (each a “Linked Account”), which Bank cashes or exchanges for a cashier’s check or official check over its counters in the ordinary course of business prior to receiving the Instructions and having had a reasonable opportunity to act on them, and which is presented for settlement against the Restricted Account (after having been presented against the Linked Account) after Bank receives the Instructions, (ii) each check or other payment order drawn on or payable against a Restricted Account, which, on the Business Day Bank receives the Instructions, Bank cashes or exchanges for a cashier’s check or official check over its counters in the ordinary course of business after Bank’s cutoff time for posting, (iii) each ACH credit entry initiated by Bank, as originating depository financial institution, on behalf of Company, as originator, prior to Bank having received the Instructions and having had a reasonable opportunity to act on them, which ACH credit entry settles after Bank receives the Instructions, and (iv) any other payment order drawn on or payable against a Restricted Account, which Bank has paid or funded prior to receiving the Instructions and having had a reasonable opportunity to act on them, and which is first presented for settlement against the Restricted Account in the ordinary course of business after Bank receives the Instructions and has transferred Restricted Account Funds to Secured Party under Section 4 of this Agreement. Company agrees to pay all Settlement Item Amounts immediately on demand, without setoff or counterclaim, to the extent there are not sufficient funds in the applicable Restricted Account to cover the Settlement Item Amounts on the day they are to be debited from the Restricted Account. Secured Party agrees to pay all Settlement Item Amounts within thirty (30) calendar days after demand, without setoff or counterclaim, to the extent that (i) the Settlement Item Amounts are not paid in full by Company within fifteen (15) calendar days after demand on Company by Bank, and (ii) Secured Party has received Restricted Account Funds under Section 4 of this Agreement.

Bank Fees. Company agrees to pay all Bank’s fees and charges for the maintenance and administration of the Restricted Accounts and Securities Accounts and for the treasury management and other account services provided with respect to the Restricted Accounts and Securities Accounts (collectively “Bank Fees”), including, but not limited to, the fees for (a) the Balance Reports provided on the Restricted Accounts and Securities Accounts, (b) the funds transfer services received with respect to the Restricted Accounts, (c) Returned Items, (d) funds advanced to cover overdrafts in the Restricted Accounts (but without Bank being in any way obligated to make any such advances), and (e) duplicate bank statements on the Restricted Accounts. The Bank Fees will be paid by Bank debiting one or more of the Restricted Accounts on the Business Day that the Bank Fees are due, without notice to Secured Party or Company. If there are not sufficient funds in the Restricted Accounts to cover fully the Bank Fees on the Business Day they are debited from the Restricted Accounts, such shortfall or the amount of such Bank Fees will be paid by Company sending Bank a check in the amount of such shortfall or such Bank Fees, without setoff or counterclaim, within fifteen (15) calendar days after demand of Bank. After Bank receives the Instructions, Secured Party agrees to pay the Bank Fees within thirty (30) calendar days after demand, without setoff or counterclaim, to the extent

B-3

such Bank Fees are not paid in full by Company by check within fifteen (15) calendar days after demand on Company by Bank.

Account Documentation. Secured Party and Company agree that, except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the Restricted Accounts and Securities Accounts will be subject to, and Bank’s operation of the Restricted Accounts and Securities Accounts will be in accordance with, the terms and provisions of (i) Bank’s Commercial Account Agreement or other deposit account agreement governing the Restricted Accounts and (ii) Bank’s Acceptance of Services, Master Agreement for Treasury Management Services, and applicable sweep option Service Description or securities account agreement governing the Offshore Accounts and Securities Accounts (collectively, the “Account Documentation”).

Bank Statements. After Bank receives the Instructions, Bank will, upon receiving a written request from Secured Party, send to Secured Party by United States mail, at the address indicated for Secured Party after its signature to this Agreement, duplicate copies of all bank statements on the Restricted Accounts and Securities Accounts which are sent to Company. Company and/or Secured Party will have thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of a bank statement to notify Bank of an error in such statement. Bank’s liability for such errors is limited as provided in the “Limitation of Liability” section of this Agreement.

10.

Partial Subordination of Bank’s Rights. Bank hereby subordinates to the security interest of Secured Party in the Restricted Accounts and Securities Accounts (i) any security interest which Bank may have or acquire in the Restricted Accounts or Securities Accounts, and (ii) any right which Bank may have or acquire to set off or otherwise apply any Restricted Account Funds or Securities Account Assets against the payment of any indebtedness from time to time owing to Bank from Company, except for debits to the Restricted Accounts permitted under this Agreement for the payment of Returned Item Amounts, Settlement Item Amounts or Bank Fees.

11.

Bankruptcy Notice; Effect of Filing. If Bank at any time receives notice of the commencement of a bankruptcy case or other insolvency or liquidation proceeding by or against Company (a “Bankruptcy Notice”), Bank will continue to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent that any action required of Bank under this Agreement is prohibited under applicable bankruptcy laws or regulations or is stayed pursuant to the automatic stay imposed under the United States Bankruptcy Code or by order of any court or agency. With respect to any obligation of Secured Party hereunder which requires prior demand upon Company, the commencement of a bankruptcy case or other insolvency or liquidation proceeding by or against Company shall automatically eliminate the necessity of such demand upon Company by Bank, and shall immediately entitle Bank to make demand on Secured Party with the same effect as if demand had been made upon Company and the time for Company’s performance had expired.

12.

Legal Process, Legal Notices and Court Orders. Bank will comply with any legal process, legal notice or court order it receives if Bank determines in its sole discretion that the legal process, legal notice or court order is legally binding on it.

13.

Indemnification for Following Instructions. Secured Party and Company each agree that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Bank will not be liable to Secured Party or Company for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims (including, but not limited to, third party claims), demands, obligations, actions, suits, judgments, penalties, costs or expenses, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, (collectively, “Losses and Liabilities”) suffered or incurred by Secured Party or Company as a result of or in connection with, (a) Bank complying with any binding legal process, legal notice or court order referred to in Section 12 of this Agreement, (b) Bank following any instruction or request of Secured Party, or (c) Bank complying with its obligations under this Agreement. Company will indemnify Bank against any Losses and Liabilities Bank may suffer or incur as a result of or in connection with any of the

B-4

circumstances referred to in clauses (a) through (c) of this Section 13. To the extent not paid by Company within fifteen (15) calendar days after demand, Secured Party will indemnify Bank against any Losses and Liabilities Bank may suffer or incur as a result of or in connection with any of the circumstances referred to in clause (b) of this Section 13.

14.

No Representations or Warranties of Bank. Bank agrees to perform its obligations under this Agreement in a manner consistent with the quality provided when Bank performs similar services for its own account. However, Bank will not be responsible for the errors, acts or omissions of others, such as communications carriers, correspondents or clearinghouses through which Bank may perform its obligations under this Agreement or receive or transmit information in performing its obligations under this Agreement. Secured Party and Company also understand that Bank will not be responsible for any loss, liability or delay caused by wars, failures in communications networks, labor disputes, legal constraints, fires, power surges or failures, earthquakes, civil disturbances or other events beyond Bank’s control. BANK MAKES NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER OTHER THAN THOSE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT.

15.

Limitation of Liability. Bank will not be responsible for any Losses and Liabilities due to any cause other than its own negligence or breach of this Agreement, in which case its liability to Secured Party and Company shall, unless otherwise provided by any law which cannot be varied by contract, be limited to direct money damages in an amount not to exceed ten (10) times all the Bank Fees charged or incurred during the calendar month immediately preceding the calendar month in which such Losses and Liabilities occurred (or, if no Bank Fees were charged or incurred in the preceding month, the Bank Fees charged or incurred in the month in which the Losses and Liabilities occurred). Company will indemnify Bank against all Losses and Liabilities suffered or incurred by Bank as a result of third party claims; provided, however, that to the extent such Losses and Liabilities are directly caused by Bank’s negligence or breach of this Agreement such indemnity will only apply to those Losses and Liabilities which exceed the liability limitation specified in the preceding sentence. The limitation of Bank’s liability and the indemnification by Company set out above will not be applicable to the extent any Losses and Liabilities of any party to this Agreement are directly caused by Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. IN NO EVENT WILL BANK BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, WHETHER ANY CLAIM IS BASED ON CONTRACT OR TORT, WHETHER THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH DAMAGES WAS KNOWN TO BANK AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE CLAIM OR ACTION, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY CLAIM OR ACTION ALLEGING GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, FAILURE TO EXERCISE REASONABLE CARE OR FAILURE TO ACT IN GOOD FAITH. Any action against Bank by Company or Secured Party under or related to this Agreement must be brought within twelve (12) months after the cause of action accrues.

16.

Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by Secured Party at any time by giving thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice of such termination to the other parties to this Agreement at their contact addresses specified after their signatures to this Agreement; Company’s and Secured Party’s obligation to report errors in funds transfers and bank statements and to pay Returned Items Amounts, Settlement Item Amounts, and Bank Fees, as well as the indemnifications made, and the limitations on the liability of Bank accepted, by Company and Secured Party under this Agreement will continue after the termination of this Agreement and/or the closure of the Restricted Accounts and/or Securities Accounts with respect to all the circumstances to which they are applicable existing or occurring before such termination or closure, and any liability of any party to this Agreement, as determined under the provisions of this Agreement, with respect to acts or omissions of such party prior to such termination or

B-5

closure will also survive such termination or closure. Upon any termination of this Agreement and the Service or closure of the Restricted Accounts all available balances in the Restricted Accounts (including proceeds from redemption of all Securities Account Assets) on the date of such termination or closure will be transferred to Secured Party as requested by Secured Party in writing to Bank.

17.

Modifications, Amendments, and Waivers. This Agreement may not be modified or amended, or any provision thereof waived, except in a writing signed by all the parties to this Agreement.

18.

Notices. All notices from one party to another shall be in writing, or be made by telecopier, and shall be delivered to Company, Secured Party and/or Bank at their contact addresses specified after their signatures to this Agreement, or any other address of any party notified to the other parties in writing, and shall be effective upon receipt. Any notice sent by a party to this Agreement to another party shall also be sent to all other parties to this Agreement. Bank is authorized by Company and Secured Party to act on any instructions or notices received by Bank if (a) such instructions or notices purport to be made in the name of Secured Party, (b) Bank reasonably believes that they are so made, and (c) they do not conflict with the terms of this Agreement as such terms may be amended from time to time, unless such conflicting instructions or notices are supported by a court order. In furtherance of the intentions of the parties hereof, this Agreement shall constitute written notice by Secured Party to Bank and Bank’s Grand Cayman branch of Secured Party’s security interest in the Restricted Accounts and Securities Accounts.

19.

Successors and Assigns. Neither Company nor Secured Party may assign or transfer its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any person or entity without the prior written consent of Bank, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Secured Party may transfer its rights and duties under this Agreement to (i) a transferee to which, by contract or operation of law, Secured Party transfers substantially all of its rights and duties under the financing or other arrangements between Secured Party and Company, or (ii) if Secured Party is acting as a representative in whose favor a security interest is created or provided for, a transferee that is a successor representative; provided that as between Bank and Secured Party, Secured Party will not be released from its obligations under this Agreement unless and until Bank receives any such transferee’s binding written agreement to assume all of Secured Party’s obligations hereunder. Bank may not assign or transfer its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any person or entity without the prior written consent of Secured Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that no such consent will be required if such assignment or transfer takes place as part of a merger, acquisition or corporate reorganization affecting Bank.

20.

Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and be construed in accordance with the laws of the state of New York without regard to conflict of laws principles. This state shall also be deemed to be Bank’s jurisdiction, for purposes of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as it applies to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that any controversy or claim arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with the Arbitration Agreement in the Account Documentation as defined in Section 8 above.

21.

Severability. To the extent that the terms of this Agreement are inconsistent with, or prohibited or unenforceable under, any applicable law or regulation, they will be deemed ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability and be deemed modified and applied in a manner consistent with such law or regulation. Any provision of this Agreement which is

B-6

deemed unenforceable or invalid in any jurisdiction shall not affect the enforceability or validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or the same provision in any other jurisdiction.

22.

Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which shall be an original with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopier or electronic image scan transmission (e.g. a “pdf” file) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of the Agreement.

23.

Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Account Documentation, contains the entire and only agreement among all the parties to this Agreement and between Bank and Company, and Bank and Secured Party, with respect to (a) the interest of Secured Party in the Restricted Accounts and Restricted Account Funds, (b) the interest of Secured Party in the Securities Accounts and Securities Account Assets, and (c) Bank’s obligations to Secured Party in connection with the Restricted Accounts and Securities Accounts.

Ref. XXXXXX

In accordance with the instruction of Empresa Minera Manquiri S.A., a company duly organized under the laws of Bolivia and having its registered principal place of business at Calle 14 esq. Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx Calacoto, La Paz, Bolivia (“Company”), and as agreed between Mitsubishi International Corporation (“you”) and Company, we hereby notify you of our agreement as follows:

We hereby confirm to you that we have received an instruction from Company to the effect that its rights in relation to the doré bars owned by Company and in our possession for purposes of refining into silver and gold bars of a size and fineness that meet metals market delivery standards (the “Metal”) have been pledged to you.

We acknowledge that, solely for purposes of Section 9-313(c) of the Uniform Commercial Code, we hold possession of the Metal for your benefit as your agent for perfection, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the San Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx Custom Refining Agreement, made as of January 28, 2008, between us and Company, as from time to time amended, modified or replaced (the “Refining Agreement”) and, to the extent not inconsistent with the Refining Agreement, our standard refining conditions (collectively, the “Refining Conditions”). We shall have no duty of care hereunder with respect to the Metal, other than to act in accordance with the Refining Conditions. We shall have no obligation to take any actions to preserve your or Company’s rights against other parties with respect to any Metal.

We agree that at any time after you notify us that the aggregate value of the in-process doré and pool balances held by the Company is in a Shortfall position and specify in such notice the equivalent of the amount of the Shortfall in xxxx ounces of refined silver (such notification, a “Shortfall Notice”), we shall not credit to Company’s metals accounts with us, sell for the account of Company, or otherwise dispose of any refined silver (any of the foregoing, a “Disposition”) without your written permission until after such time as you have notified us that a Shortfall no longer exists.

We agree that, if at any time, we shall have received a written notice from you (a “Metal Blockage Notice”) stating that an Event of Default has occurred between you and Company and stating that such notice is a Metal Blockage Notice for purposes hereof, we shall, unless and until we shall have received a written notice from you rescinding such Metal Blockage Notice, make all payments or metals account credits that would otherwise be due to Company under the Refining Agreement to the bank or metals account specified by you in such Metal Blockage Notice, provided that, notwithstanding the above, we may debit Company’s account to pay Company’s unpaid obligations to us under the Refining Agreement so long as the amount so debited does not exceed the aggregate charges applicable to the quantity of doré in our possession at the time we receive the Metal Blockage Notice. Such debits may be made prior to our making any payment or metals account credit to you.
