(the "Royalty") on the Net Returns of all Minerals mined and removed from the
Properties and sold or deemed to have been sold by or for MSX, on the terms and
conditions herein specified.
2.2 PERCENTAGE OF NET RETURNS.
(a) Refined Gold. The percentage of Net Returns to be paid to Glamis
for refined gold produced from Minerals mined from the Properties shall be based
as follows:
Monthly Average Gold
Returns
Price Per Ounce Percentage of Net
--------------- -----------------
Less than $325.00 0.0%

(b) Other Products. In the event that MSX causes silver or other
refined metals other than refined gold to be produced from Minerals mined from

to be paid Glamis for such products shall be that percentage set forth in
Section 2.2(a) determined based on the price of gold as provided in Section 2.3.
2.3 CALCULATION OF NET RETURNS. It is the intention of the Parties that
the Royalty be based upon the value, at the boundary of the Cerro San Xxxxx
Project Lands, of the Minerals produced and sold or deemed sold, determined by
reference to published prices for refined gold, silver and other metals and the
actual proceeds of sales for other Minerals, all as provided in Section 2.3(a)
below. Glamis acknowledges that it may be necessary or appropriate to process,
treat or upgrade Minerals of the Cerro San Xxxxx Project Lands before they are
sold and that, to determine the value of such Minerals at the boundary of the
Cerro San Xxxxx Project Lands, MSX shall be entitled to deduct all costs and
only those costs incurred or deemed incurred by MSX after the Minerals leave the
Cerro San Xxxxx Project Lands. Therefore, the Parties agree that as used this
Agreement, "Net Returns" shall mean Gross Proceeds (as defined in Section 2.3(a)
below) less Costs and Expenses (as defined in Section 2.3(b) below).
(a) Gross Proceeds. As used in this Agreement, "Gross Proceeds"
shall mean and shall be calculated as follows:
(i) Refined Gold. If MSX causes refined gold to be produced
from Minerals mined from the Properties, the Royalty shall be paid on the
refined gold, as herein provided. For purposes of determining the Royalty, the
refined gold shall be deemed to have been sold at the Monthly Average Gold
Price, and the Gross Proceeds shall be determined by multiplying Gold Production
during the calendar month by the Monthly Average Gold Price for that month. As
used herein, "Gold Production" shall mean the quantity of refined gold
out-turned during the calendar month to MSX's pool account by an independent
third-party refinery from Minerals produced from the Properties, on either a
provisional or final settlement basis. As used herein, "Monthly Average Gold
Price" shall mean the average London Bullion Market
-2-
Association P.M. Gold Fix, calculated by dividing the sum of all such prices
reported for the month by the number of days for which such prices were
reported.
(ii) Refined Metals Other Than Gold. If MSX causes silver or
other refined metals other than refined gold to be produced from Minerals mined
from the Properties, the Royalty shall be paid on the refined metal produced, as
herein provided, and the Gross Proceeds shall be determined by multiplying
Refined Metal Production during the calendar month by the Monthly Average
Refined Metal Price for that month. As used herein, "Refined Metal Production"
shall mean the quantity of Refined Metal out-turned during the calendar month to
MSX's pool account by an independent third-party refinery from Minerals produced
from the Properties, on either a provisional or final settlement basis. As used
herein, "Monthly Average Refined Metal Price" shall mean the average New York
Refined Metal Price as published by Metals Week, calculated by dividing the sum
of all such prices reported for the calendar month by the number of days for
which such prices were reported.
(iii) Raw Ore, Dore or Concentrates. Subject to Section 2.4,
if MSX sells raw ore, dore or concentrates produced from Minerals mined from the
Properties, then the Gross Proceeds shall be equal to the amount of the proceeds
actually received by MSX during the calendar month from the sale of such raw
ore, dore or concentrates.
(b) Costs and Expenses. As used in this Agreement, "Costs and
Expenses" shall mean all costs, charges, and expenses paid or deemed incurred by
MSX for or with respect to Minerals produced from the Properties, after such
Minerals leave the Cerro San Xxxxx Project Lands, including, without limitation:
(i) charges for treatment in the smelting and refining
processes (including handling, processing, interest, provisional settlement
fees, sampling, assaying and representation costs, penalties and other processor
deductions);
(ii) actual costs of transportation (including loading,
freight, insurance, security, transaction taxes, handling, port, demurrage,
delay, and forwarding expenses incurred by reason of or in the course of such
transportation) of Minerals (with respect to which Royalty is paid) from the
Cerro San Xxxxx Project Lands to the place of treatment as described in Section
2.3(b)(i) above and then to the place of sale;
(iii) costs or charges of any nature for or in connection with
insurance, storage, or representation at a smelter or refinery for Minerals;
(iv) actual sales and brokerage costs paid to third-parties,
if any, on Minerals for which the Royalty is based on actual proceeds received
by MSX and an allowance for reasonable sales and brokerage costs paid to
third-parties, if any, for refined metals that are subject to the Royalty
provided in Section 2.3(a)(i),(ii) and (iii); and
(v) sales, use, severance and any other tax based directly

Minerals produced, but excluding any and all taxes and any payments, taxes, and
fees: (X) based upon the net or gross income of MSX or any owner or operator of
the Properties or the Cerro San Xxxxx Project; (Y) based upon the value of the

- 3 -
In the event that smelting and/or refining are carried out in facilities owned
or controlled by MSX or any Affiliate of MSX, then charges, costs and penalties
for such operations, including without limitation for loading, transportation
and associated insurance, shall mean the amount that MSX would have incurred if
such operations were carried out at facilities not owned or controlled by MSX or
any Affiliate of MSX then offering comparable custom services for comparable
products on prevailing terms.
2.4 SALES TO AFFILIATES. MSX shall be permitted to sell Minerals from the
Properties in the form of raw ore, dore, or concentrates to an Affiliate of MSX,
provided that such sales shall be considered, solely for the purpose of
computing the Royalty, to have been sold at prices and on terms no less
favorable than those that would be extended to an unaffiliated third party under
similar circumstances.
2.5 COMMINGLING. MSX shall have the right of mixing or commingling, at any
location and either underground or at the surface, Minerals produced from the
Properties with Minerals produced from other lands, provided that MSX shall
determine the weight, grade or volume of, sample and analyze all such Minerals
before the same are so mixed or commingled. Any such determination of weight,
grade or volume, sampling and analysis shall be made in accordance with sound
sampling and analytic practices, and procedures. The weight, grade or volume and
the analysis so derived shall be used as the basis of allocation of Royalty
payable to Glamis hereunder in the event of a sale by MSX of Minerals so mixed
or commingled.
III. PAYMENT OF ROYALTY
3.1 ACCRUAL AND PAYMENT OF ROYALTY. The obligation to pay Royalty shall
accrue upon the out-turn of refined metals meeting the requirements of the
specified published price to MSX's account or the sooner sale of unrefined
metals, dore, concentrates, ores or other mineral products, as herein provided.
Royalties shall become due and payable quarterly on the fifteenth (15th) day of
the month next following the end of the calendar month in which the same accrue.
In the event that MSX determines that any payment of Royalty was underpaid or
overpaid, MSX shall correct such overpayment or underpayment by adjustment to
the amount of the next subsequent payment of Royalty following such
determination.
3.2 PROVISIONAL STATEMENTS. Where out-turn of refined metals is made by an
independent third-party refinery on a provisional basis, the Gross Proceeds and
the Royalty paid to Glamis for such metals in any month shall be based upon the
amount of refined metal credited by such provisional settlement, but shall be
adjusted in subsequent statements to account for the amount of refined metal
established by final settlement by the refinery.
3.3 MONTHLY STATEMENTS. Royalty payments shall be accompanied by a
statement showing in reasonable detail the following: (a) the quantities and
grades of the refined metals, dore, concentrates, other mineral products, or
ores produced and sold or deemed to have been sold by MSX in the preceding
calendar month; (b) the average monthly price determined as provided in Section
2.3(a)(i) and (ii) for refined metals on which Royalty is due; (c) the proceeds
of sale for other Minerals on which Royalty is due, determined as provided in
Section 2.3(a)(iii) and Section 2.4; (d) Costs and Expenses; and (e) other
pertinent information in sufficient detail to explain the calculation of the
Royalty payment. Monthly royalty statements also shall list the quantity and
quality of any dore that has been retained as inventory for more than sixty (60)
days.
-4-
3.4 GLAMIS' ELECTION WITH RESPECT TO INVENTORY UPON RECEIPT OF MONTHLY
STATEMENT. Glamis shall have fifteen (15) days after receipt of each monthly
statement rendered to it pursuant to Section 3.3 to either:
(a) request that inventoried dore be deemed sold as provided in
Section 2.3(a)(i) and (ii) above as of the fifteenth (15th) day of the month for
which the monthly statement was rendered, utilizing the mine weights and assays
for such dore and utilizing a deemed charge for all Costs and Expenses as
specified in Section 2.4 above which shall be based upon the most recent charges
to MSX for such items; or
(b) elect to wait until the time that refined gold or silver from
such dore is actually out-turned to MSX or such dore is sooner sold by MSX.
The failure of Glamis to respond within the fifteen (15) day period shall be
deemed to be an election under (b) above. No Royalty shall be due with respect
to stockpiles of ores or concentrates unless and until such ores or concentrates
are actually sold.
3.5 OBJECTIONS TO ROYALTY PAYMENTS/AUDITS. All Royalty Payments made
during each calendar year shall be considered final and in full satisfaction of
all obligations of MSX with respect thereto, unless Glamis gives MSX written
notice describing and setting forth a specific objection to the determination
thereof within ninety (90) days following the end of the calendar year during
which such Royalties were paid. During the ninety (90) day period, Glamis shall
have the right, upon reasonable notice and at a reasonable time, to have MSX's
accounts and records relating to the calculation of the Royalties paid during
such calendar year audited by Glamis or an independent certified public
accountant acceptable to Glamis and MSX. If such audit determines that there has
been a deficiency or an excess in the payment made to Glamis, such deficiency or
excess shall be resolved by adjusting the next monthly Royalty payment due
hereunder, or by direct payment if no monthly Royalty payment follows the audit
determination. Glamis shall pay all costs of such audit unless a deficiency of
ten percent (10%) or more of the amount due to Glamis is determined to exist.
MSX shall pay the costs of such audit if a deficiency of ten percent (10%) or
more of the amount due to Glamis is determined to exist. All books and records
used by MSX to calculate Royalties due hereunder shall be kept in accordance
with generally accepted account principles, consistently applied. Failure on the
part of Glamis to make a claim on MSX for adjustment within such ninety (90) day
period shall establish the correctness and preclude the filing of exceptions
thereto or making of claims for adjustment thereon.
3.6 TAKE IN KIND ELECTION. At the beginning of each calendar year during
which MSX may produce Minerals from the Properties, Glamis may elect to take its
Royalty in kind for the following calendar year. Glamis must notify MSX of its
election to take its Royalty in kind not less than thirty (30) days prior to the
beginning of the calendar year. If no notice is given by Glamis to MSX, Glamis
shall be deemed to have elected to not take its Royalty in kind. In the event
Glamis elects to take its Royalty in kind, Glamis shall receive its
proportionate interest of concentrates, dore or other processed materials that
MSX has not yet removed from the Properties Cerro San Xxxxx Project Lands for
delivery to the smelter, refiner or other purchaser. In such cases, Glamis shall
be solely responsible for the loading and transporting of such in kind materials
and shall further be responsible for all further Costs and Expenses with respect
to such materials as defined in Section 2.3(b). Any election by Glamis pursuant
to this Section 3.6 shall remain in effect for the entire calendar year for
which such election was made.
-5-
IV. NATURE OF INTEREST/BINDING EFFECT
4.1 NATURE OF ROYALTY. The Royalty is a strictly passive and
non-participating interest and shall not entitle Glamis to participate in any
decisions whatsoever concerning the Properties, the Cerro San Xxxxx Project, or
operations thereon.
4.2 BINDING EFFECT. The Royalty shall be deemed to be a burden upon the
Properties and shall run with the land such that it shall be binding upon any
and all successors-in-interest of MSX, whether by sale or transfer or by
operation of law.
4.3 FURTHER ASSURANCES AND CONTINUING OBLIGATIONS. MSX agrees to execute
and record or register such documents or to take such other actions as may be
necessary under local law to evidence Glamis' Royalty in the appropriate records
and registries in Mexico. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and
acknowledged by the Parties that such registration may not be possible.
Therefore, it is further understood and agreed that MSX shall remain liable for
all Net Returns that may become due to Glamis under this Royalty Deed,
regardless of any transfers by MSX, its successors or assigns, of all or any
interest in the Cerro San Xxxxx Project or in the Properties.
V. GENERAL
5.1 BOOKS AND RECORDS. MSX shall keep accurate records and books of
account for all mining operations conducted by it or under its control on the
Properties, showing particularly the quantity, grade and composition of all
Minerals, all receipts from the sale thereof and all Costs and Expenses. In
addition to it audit rights under Section 3.5, Glamis, upon demand but not more

at reasonable times and places, may conduct or perform any or all of the
following activities: (i) inspect the Properties and any sites utilized in
connection with operations thereon or the processing, storage or transportation

any way to the calculation of Royalty payable pursuant to this Deed, mining or
other operations conducted on the Properties or the processing, storage or
transportation of any Minerals.

accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to choice or
conflict of laws rules or principles. The exclusive venue for any action brought
to enforce or interpret this Agreement shall be Reno, Nevada. The Parties may

venue and jurisdiction is fair, reasonable, appropriate and convenient.
5.3 ATTORNEY'S FEES. In the event of litigation arising under or relating
to this Deed or the calculation and payment of Royalty under this Deed, the
