Encumbrances. The Seller shall not, and shall ensure that the other Seller Entities do not, cause or allow to be registered or otherwise permit to exist any Encumbrance other than Permitted Encumbrances against any of the Collateral.

Abandonment. The Seller shall not, and shall ensure that the other Seller Entities do not, abandon any patented or unpatented claims comprising part of the Properties or any other interest in the Properties unless it first complies with this Section 8(d) (provided that in the case of leased properties, the Owner shall comply with this Section 8(d) to the extent permitted under the applicable lease or sublease). If any Seller Entity wishes to abandon any of the patented or unpatented claims comprising part of the Properties or any other interest in the Properties (“Abandonment Property”), the Seller shall first give notice of such intention to the Buyer at least 90 days in advance of the proposed date of abandonment. If, not less than 10 days before the proposed date of abandonment, the Seller receives from the Buyer written notice that the Buyer wishes to acquire the Abandonment Property, the Seller shall, or shall cause the relevant Seller Entity to, without additional consideration, convey the Abandonment Property in good standing by quit claim deed, without warranty, to the Buyer or an assignee thereof, and shall thereafter have no further obligation to maintain title to the Abandonment Property. If the Buyer does not give such notice to the Seller within the prescribed period of time, the relevant Seller Entity may abandon the Abandonment Property and shall thereafter have no further obligation to maintain title to the Abandonment Property.

Right of Buyer to Cure Defects. The Buyer may undertake such investigation of the title and status of the Midas Mine, Fire Creek Property and any other properties of the Seller Entities as it shall deem necessary. If that investigation should reveal defects in the title, the Seller shall forthwith proceed to cure such title defects to the satisfaction of the Buyer. If the Seller fails to do so: (i) the Buyer may proceed to cure such title defects; (ii) any costs and expenses incurred (including attorney’s fees and costs) by the Buyer shall be promptly reimbursed by the Seller; and (iii) the Buyer may lien such properties for such amounts until the Seller reimburses the Buyer in full.

Management of Mining Operations

Performance of Mining Operations. The Seller shall ensure that all exploration, construction, development and mining operations and other activities in respect of the Properties will be performed in a commercially reasonable manner in compliance with Applicable Laws, Authorizations and Other Rights, and in accordance with good mining, processing, engineering and environmental practices prevailing in the industry. The Seller shall cause the other Seller Entities to use all commercially reasonable and lawful efforts to obtain and, once obtained, maintain all Authorizations necessary to commence and continue development and mining operations on the Properties.

Maintenance of Mining Rights. The Seller shall cause the other Seller Entities to use all commercially reasonable and lawful efforts to maintain and apply for and obtain any and all available renewals and extensions of the Properties, Authorizations, Other Rights and any and all other necessary rights in respect of the Midas Mine, the Fire Creek Project, and, other than as would not constitute an Event of Default, not abandon any of the Midas Mine or the Fire Creek Project (including Utility Commitments) or allow or permit any of the Properties, Authorizations, Other Rights or such other necessary rights referred to above to terminate or lapse.

Compliance with Applicable Laws. The Seller shall, and shall cause the other Seller Entities to, and shall cause all operations and activities conducted at, on or in respect of the Midas Mine and the Fire Creek Project to, comply in all material respects with all Applicable Laws, all Authorizations and the terms and conditions of Other Rights.

Reclamation Obligations. The Seller shall, and shall cause each other Seller Entity to, timely and fully perform, pay and observe, or cause to be performed, observed and paid, in all material respects, any and all liabilities and obligations required by any Applicable Laws, Authorizations or the terms and conditions of Other Rights or by any Governmental Body for the reclamation, restoration or closure of any facility or land used in connection with the Seller Entities’ operations or activities at, on or in respect of the Midas Mine and the Fire Creek Project or required under this Agreement. The Seller shall not, and shall ensure that the other Seller Entities do not, undertake, cause, suffer, or permit any condition or activity at, on or in the vicinity of the Properties which constitutes or results in a material violation of Environmental Laws. If any Seller Entity (i) fails to comply with Environmental Laws in any material respect or (ii) undertakes any activity giving rise to liability under Environmental Laws (except as permitted or authorized by any Authorization or by Applicable Law), the Seller shall promptly remedy and correct such failure to comply, satisfy such liability and otherwise take all necessary or desirable action to cure (whether through remediation, payment of penalties or otherwise) such non-compliance or liability and satisfy all obligations in connection therewith.

Royalty and Stream Interests

General Prohibition. The Seller shall not, and shall not permit any other Seller Entity to, without the Buyer’s prior written consent, create, grant, convey or otherwise agree to any royalty or stream interest, or enter into any agreements that are similar to a royalty agreement or a stream agreement, in each case in respect of any mineral interests of the Seller Entities, whether owned now or hereafter acquired, except as expressly permitted by and subject to this Section 10.

Right of First Refusal. If any Seller Entity receives a bona fide written offer (a “Third Party Offer”) from any Person dealing at arm’s length with the Seller Entities to purchase a new or existing royalty or stream interest (the “Offered Interest”) in any mineral interests of the Seller Entities, whether owned now or hereafter acquired, for cash consideration, which such Seller Entity either wishes to accept or has accepted conditional on and subject to the Buyer’s right of first refusal pursuant to this Section 10, the Seller shall promptly give notice of the Third Party Offer (the “Notice of Offer”) to the Buyer and comply with this Section 10. The Notice of Offer must contain a copy of the Third Party Offer, disclose the identity and address of the Person making the Third Party Offer (the “Third Party Offeror”) and provide reasonably sufficient evidence to establish that the Third Party Offeror has the power and capacity, including the financial capacity, to complete the purchase of the Offered Interest. Upon the Notice of Offer being given, the Buyer will have the right to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Offered Interest at the same price and upon the same terms and conditions as are contained in the Third Party Offer.

Determination of Price. If the Offered Interest is being offered for sale to the Third Party Offeror together with or in conjunction with other unrelated assets of the Seller Entities, the Buyer will be entitled to purchase only the Offered Interest and the Notice of Offer must specify the Seller’s good faith estimate of the cash being offered by the Third Party Offeror for the Offered Interest. If the Buyer does not agree with the Seller’s estimate, the value of the cash being offered for the Offered Interest shall be conclusively determined by a firm of qualified mineral valuators jointly appointed (and the cost of which shall be borne equally) by the Seller and the Buyer, each acting reasonably. Such determination shall be binding upon the Seller Entities and the Buyer. All time periods referred to in this Section 10 shall be extended by the time taken to obtain such determination.

Exercise and Closing. If the Buyer desires to exercise its right to purchase all of the Offered Interest as contemplated by Section 10(b), it will give notice of exercise (the “ROFR Exercise Notice”) to the Seller within 30 Business Days of having been given the Notice of Offer. The giving of the ROFR Exercise Notice shall constitute a legally binding agreement between the Buyer and the relevant Seller Entity for the sale by such Seller Entity to the Buyer of the Offered Interest in accordance with the terms set out in the Third Party Offer, which sale transaction will be completed (subject to entry into a royalty or stream agreement reflecting the Offered Interest and such other customary industry terms in form and substance satisfactory to the Buyer) on the date therein provided (or on such other date as the Buyer and such Seller Entity may agree) by delivery of the Offered Interest (including such agreement referred to above) by such Seller Entity to the Buyer with title, free and clear of all Encumbrances arising on or after the date such Seller Entity received such Third Party Offer, against payment by the Buyer to such Seller Entity of the cash consideration by bank wire transfer to the account designated by such Seller Entity. If, at the time of completion, any portion of the Offered Interest is subject to any Encumbrance arising on or after the date such Seller Entity received such Third Party Offer, the Buyer will be entitled to deduct from the purchase money to be paid to such Seller Entity the amount required to discharge such Encumbrance and will apply such amount to discharge such Encumbrance, on behalf of such Seller Entity.

No Exercise. If the Buyer does not give the ROFR Exercise Notice in accordance with the provisions of Section 10(d), the right of the Buyer to purchase the Offered Interest will terminate and the Seller Entities may sell all, but not less than all, of the Offered Interest to the Third Party Offeror in accordance with the terms of the Third Party Offer at any time within 50 Business Days after the expiry of the 30 Business Day period specified in Section 10(d). If the sale of the Offered Interest is not completed within such 50 Business Day period on such terms, the rights of the Parties pursuant to this Section 10 will again take effect with respect thereto.

Exceptions. The restrictions set out in this Section 10 shall not apply to: (i) any royalties or levies imposed by any Governmental Body on mineral production; (ii) any royalty interests purchased by or granted to a Seller Entity (including the purchase or buy-back of any royalty interest previously granted by a Seller Entity); (iii) any royalty interests granted by a Seller Entity pursuant to a bona fide option or joint venture agreement in respect of the Properties or other mineral interests of such Seller Entity (provided the entering into of such agreement is not prohibited by the terms of the Transaction Documents and that any such royalty interests shall be junior in priority to any royalties owned by the Buyer or any of its Affiliates on the Properties); or (iv) any royalty or stream interest granted by a Seller Entity after a Change of Control of the Seller in respect of mineral interests of the Seller Entities acquired after such Change of Control (for greater certainty, the restrictions set out in this Section 10 shall continue to apply to mineral interests of the Seller Entities owned as at the time of such Change of Control).

Survival. For greater certainty, this Section 10 shall, pursuant to Section 19(c), survive termination of this Agreement.

Financing Matters

Compliance with Facility Agreement. So long as the Loan or any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness is outstanding, the Seller shall, and shall cause each of the other Seller Entities to, comply with all of the covenants in the Facility Agreement (or any agreement governing any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness) as in effect from time to time (as such covenants may be amended, supplemented or added to from time to time), without any waiver thereof and without regard to any amendment thereof which has the effect of making such provisions less restrictive on the Seller Entities, except as consented to from time to time by the Buyer.

Refinancing of Loan. The Seller will not, and will cause the other Seller Entities not to, refinance, replace, repurchase or enter into any other transaction the effect of which would be to repay the Loan and replace it with other Indebtedness, except Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness. For greater certainty, this provision will not apply to restrict repayments of the Loan in accordance with its terms if such repayment or prepayment is not effected with the proceeds of additional Indebtedness of any Seller Entity.

Limitation on Indebtedness. The Seller shall ensure that none of the Seller Entities shall incur any Indebtedness (other than Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness) except: (i) Indebtedness solely for ordinary course working capital purposes in an aggregate maximum amount at any time outstanding not to exceed [redacted for proprietary reasons] (“Permitted Working Capital Debt”); (ii) [redacted for proprietary reasons] and (iii) bonds, letters of credit, guarantees and other instruments or arrangements securing or guaranteeing performance of the Seller Entities’ obligations in respect of the reclamation, restoration or closure of any facility or land used in connection with the Seller Entities’ operations or activities to the extent required by Applicable Law. The Permitted Working Capital Debt may be secured against the Collateral provided that the security thereunder is expressly subordinated to the security provided under the Security Agreements pursuant to an intercreditor agreement between the Persons extending such Indebtedness and the Buyer providing for such subordination and other customary provisions, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Buyer (any such security, and the “Permitted Working Capital Security”).

Amendments to Facility Documents. The Seller agrees that (i) no Facility Documents (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) to which any Seller Entity is a party will be amended, modified, replaced or supplemented in such manner as to make the terms of such Facility Documents less favourable to any Seller Entity in any material respect (including, for greater certainty, by increasing the interest rate or fees payable thereunder, shortening the term to maturity thereof, imposing increased amortization requirements or imposing additional (or more restrictive) covenants thereunder) unless such amendment, modification, replacement or supplement is consented to by the Buyer in writing, and (ii) none of the Seller Entities shall take any action under or in connection with any of the Facility Documents that would require or result in payment by any of them of any amount in advance of any scheduled or mandatory payment, redemption or prepayment date, including purchasing the Term Notes by tender or private contract (except for refinancing the Facility Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) with Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness), unless such action is consented to by the Buyer in writing.

Insurance Matters

Maintenance of Insurance. The Seller shall, and shall cause the other Seller Entities to, maintain with reputable insurance companies insurance with respect to the Midas Mine, Fire Creek Project and any other mineral projects of the Seller Entities and the operations conducted at, on and in respect thereof against such casualties and contingencies and of such types and in such amounts as is customary in the case of similar operations in the United States of America. Without limiting the foregoing, such insurance shall include workers compensation insurance in amounts required by Applicable Laws, and commercial general liability insurance in such amounts as will, in the Buyer’s reasonable judgment, adequately protect the Seller Entities, the Buyer, and the Properties and any other mineral projects of the Seller Entities from any Losses which may reasonably be expected to arise with respect to this Agreement or the Properties or any other mineral projects of the Seller Entities and that can be covered by commercial general liability insurance.

Shipment of Minerals. The Seller shall, and shall cause the other Seller Entities to, ensure that each shipment of Minerals is adequately insured in such amounts and with such coverage as is customary in the mining industry, until the time that risk of loss and damage for such Minerals is transferred to the purchaser.

Additional Insured. The Seller shall cause the Buyer to be named a loss payee (as its interests may appear) under all property insurance policies of the Seller Entities and as additional insured under all liability insurance policies of the Seller Entities.

Notice of Loss or Damage. The Seller shall promptly provide the Buyer with written notice of any material loss or damage suffered to any assets or property of the Seller Entities and whether it plans to make any insurance claim.

Security Matters

Grant of Security Interest. The Seller shall, and shall cause each of the other Seller Entities to, grant to the Buyer a continuing security interest and a first priority lien on the Collateral, including all proceeds and products thereof, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances, as security for the due and punctual performance by the Seller of the Delivery Obligations or, in the case of any other Seller Entity, its guarantee of the Delivery Obligations of the Seller. The Buyer’s security interest and lien on the Collateral shall be further evidenced by the Security Agreements and such other security documents as the Buyer may at any time reasonably request. The Security shall be effective from the Effective Date and continue until the Delivery Obligations have been satisfied in full, provided that, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Security provided by the Midas Entities shall only become effective upon completion of the Acquisition and for certainty will continue until the Delivery Obligations have been satisfied in full. Upon creating or acquiring any other new Subsidiary, the Seller shall cause such Subsidiary to provide Security in favour of the Buyer, in substantially the same form as the Security Agreements.

Renewal. The Seller shall cause the personal property registrations relating to the Security to be properly renewed under Applicable Law no later than three months before the expiry date thereof (if any) to ensure that, except as may be otherwise provided herein, at all times until the Final Delivery Date, the Security remains in full force and effect and duly registered and perfected under Applicable Law. The Seller shall provide evidence satisfactory to the Buyer of each such re-registration and renewal on or before the date that is three months before the expiry date of the Security, failing which the Buyer shall have the right (but not the obligation) to proceed with such renewal, and the Seller shall be responsible for all costs and fees related thereto and shall reimburse the Buyer for such amounts on demand.

Further Assurances. Without limiting the foregoing, the Seller shall, and shall cause each of the other Seller Entities to, from time to time, at the cost and expense of the Seller Entities, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents and take all further action that may be necessary or desirable or that the Buyer may reasonably request in order to perfect and protect any pledge, assignment, or security interest granted or purported to be granted by any Transaction Document or to enable the Buyer to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies under any Transaction Documents with respect to any Collateral. The Seller Entities each irrevocably make, constitute, and appoint the Buyer (and any of the Buyer’s officers, employees, or Agents' designated by the Buyer) as its true and lawful attorney with power, upon the failure or refusal of any Seller Entity to comply with its undertakings contained in this paragraph, to sign the name of such Seller Entity on any of the above described documents or on any other similar documents that need to be executed, recorded, and/or filed in order to perfect or continue the Buyer’s perfected security interest in the Collateral.

Events of Default

Each of the events or circumstances set out in this Section 14 shall constitute an event of default (“Event of Default”):

Representations and Warranties; Reports; Certificates. Any representation or warranty made, or any report or certificate furnished to the Buyer, by any Seller Entity under or in connection with the Transaction Documents proves to have been incorrect or misleading in any material respect (or in any respect where such representation or warranty is subject to a materiality qualification) when made, deemed made or furnished (as applicable), and the facts or circumstances which made such representation or warranty incorrect or misleading shall remain unrectified for a period of 30 days from the earlier of: (a) the Buyer giving notice to the Seller, and (b) the Seller becoming aware that such representation or warranty is incorrect or misleading, unless such facts or circumstances are not capable of rectification in which event the default shall occur immediately.

Failure to Perform Certain Covenants. Failure by any Seller Entity to perform, comply with or observe any term, covenant or agreement contained in Sections 8(a), 8(b), 8(c) and 8(d) (Maintenance of Existence and Property) (provided that, in the case of Sections 8(b) and 8(d) only, this Section 14(c) shall not apply to any such failure with respect to the Other Properties, and in which case Section 14(d) shall apply), 10 (Royalty and Stream Interests), 11 (Financing Matters), 13 (Security Matters) or 20 (Restricted Transfer Rights of the Seller Entities).

Failure to Perform Other Covenants. Any Seller Entity fails to perform, comply with or observe any term, covenant or agreement contained in any Transaction Document (other than those referred to above in Sections 14(a) to (c) above) and any such failure shall remain unremedied or unresolved for a period of 30 days from the earlier of: (a) the Buyer giving notice to the Seller, and (b) the Seller becoming aware of the failure to comply, unless such failure is not capable of remedy in which event the default shall occur immediately.

Insolvency. (i) Any Seller Entity becomes Insolvent, or suffers or consents to or applies for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or liquidator of itself or any of its property, or is generally unable to or fails to pay its debts as they become due, or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) any Seller Entity files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, or seeks to effect a plan or other arrangement with creditors or any other relief under any Bankruptcy Code, or under any Applicable Law granting relief to debtors, whether now or hereafter in effect; (iii) any involuntary petition or proceeding pursuant to any Bankruptcy Code or any other Applicable Law relating to bankruptcy, reorganization or other relief for debtors is filed or commenced against any Seller Entity and is not dismissed, stayed or vacated within 30 days thereafter; (iv) any Seller Entity files an answer admitting the jurisdiction of the court and the material allegations of any involuntary petition; (v) any Seller Entity is adjudicated bankrupt, or an order for relief is entered by any court of competent jurisdiction under any Bankruptcy Code or any other Applicable Law relating to bankruptcy, reorganization or other relief for debtors; (vi) any Seller Entity voluntarily ceases to conduct its business in the ordinary course or materially changes the nature of the business it carries on; or (vii) any Seller Entity takes any action authorizing or in furtherance of any of the foregoing.

Cross Default. Any Seller Entity:

fails:

to make any payment of any principal, interest or premium in connection with the Loan or any other Indebtedness having an aggregate principal amount of more than the Threshold Amount (or its equivalent in another currency) when due (whether by scheduled maturity, required prepayment, acceleration, demand or otherwise) and such failure shall continue after the applicable notice or grace period, if any, specified in the agreement or instrument relating to such Indebtedness as of the date of such failure; or

to perform or observe any term, covenant or condition on its part to be performed or observed under any agreement or instrument relating to the Loan or any other Indebtedness having an aggregate principal amount of more than the Threshold Amount (or its equivalent in another currency), when required to be performed or observed, or any other event shall occur or condition shall exist under any such agreement or instrument, and such failure, event or condition shall continue after the later of 10 days from written notice of such failure, event or condition by the applicable counterparty or the Buyer or the applicable, notice or grace period, if any, specified in such agreement or instrument, if the effect of such failure, event or condition is to accelerate, or to permit the acceleration of, the maturity of such Indebtedness; or

is subject to a declaration that any Indebtedness referred to in Section 14(g)(i) is due and payable, or required to be prepaid (other than by a regularly scheduled required repayment), prior to the stated maturity thereof;

is subject to any facility or commitment available to it under the Facility Agreement or any other Indebtedness in an aggregate amount at any one time of not less than the Threshold Amount (or its equivalent in any other currency) being withdrawn, suspended or cancelled by reason of any default (however described) of any Seller Entity; or

fails to perform or observe any term, covenant or condition on its part to be performed or observed under any agreement or instrument relating to Indebtedness referred to in Section 14(g)(i) which would result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Creditors’ Process. Either:

a final Order for the payment of money in excess of the Threshold Amount (or its equivalent in another currency) which is not fully covered by third-party insurance is rendered against any Seller Entity; or

any non-monetary judgment or Order is rendered against any Seller Entity which would constitute a Material Adverse Effect,

Security Agreements.

Any Seller Entity:

contests in any manner the validity or enforceability of any of the Security Agreements; or

denies that it has any further liability or obligation under any of the Security Agreements.

Any of the Security Agreements:

for any reason, except to the extent permitted by the terms thereof, ceases to create a valid Encumbrance or the Encumbrance created thereby fails to rank in priority in the manner contemplated in the Security Agreements and the Intercreditor Agreement (other than by a direct act or omission of the Buyer), subject only to Permitted Encumbrances, in any of the Collateral purported to be covered thereby; or

after delivery for any reason is revoked or invalidated, or otherwise ceases to be in full force and effect in any material respect.

Unlawfulness.

Major Damage. Any Seller Entity suffers material loss of or damage to its business, assets or operations (including any related infrastructure) which would have a Material Adverse Effect.

Abandonment. Any material portion of the Midas Mine, the Fire Creek Project or the Collateral is lost, forfeited or abandoned and which would have a Material Adverse Effect.

Expropriation. Any Governmental Body condemns, expropriates, seizes or appropriates any property which relates to or forms part of the Midas Mine, the Fire Creek Project or the Collateral and which would result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Proceedings. There is any action, suit or proceeding against or affecting any Seller Entity before any court or by or before any Governmental Body which, if successful, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, unless the action, suit, or proceeding is contested diligently and in good faith and, in circumstances where a lower court or tribunal has rendered a decision adverse to it, any Seller Entity, as applicable, is appealing such decision, and has provided a reserve in respect thereof satisfactory to the Buyer.

Change of Control. There shall occur a Change of Control of any of the Seller Entities, unless such Change of Control occurs pursuant to a Transfer consented to by the Buyer in accordance with Section 20, or the Seller shall become obligated to offer to purchase all of the Term Notes then outstanding as a result of a Change of Control (as defined in the Facility Agreement).

Material Adverse Effect. Any event or circumstance occurs that has a Material Adverse Effect.

Effect of Event of Default

Upon each occurrence of an Event of Default, and for so long as such Event of Default is continuing:

upon written notice to the Seller, and in addition to and not in substitution for any other remedies available to it hereunder or at law or in equity, the Buyer shall have the right to terminate the Seller’s obligation to deliver any further Purchased Gold Ounces (which shall not be less than all of the Purchased Gold Ounces not then delivered) if it so elects, and upon such election, the Default Amount shall become immediately due and payable by the Seller (it being acknowledged by the Seller that the Default Amount is intended to be a genuine pre-estimate of liquidated damages that would be suffered by the Buyer upon the occurrence of an Event of Default);

the Buyer shall be entitled to enforce its security under the Transaction Documents; and

the Buyer shall be entitled to such other rights and remedies as are available to it at law.

The Seller, acknowledging that the Buyer is entering into this Agreement in reliance thereon, hereby makes the representations and warranties to the Buyer: (i) as set out in Schedule G; and (ii) as set out in Article IV of the Acquisition Agreement, in each case to the extent relating to the Midas Entities or their properties and assets, as if such representations and warranties were set forth in this Agreement. The representations and warranties in Schedule G shall be deemed to be repeated by the Seller: (a) as of the Effective Date; and (b) as of the date of each Annual Compliance Certificate, except to the extent that on or prior to such date the Seller shall have advised the Buyer in writing of a variation in any such representation or warranty and the Buyer has approved such variation.

General Provisions

Further Assurances. Each Party shall execute all such further instruments and documents and shall take all such further actions as may be necessary to effect the transactions contemplated herein, in each case at the cost and expense of the Party requesting such further instrument, document or action, unless expressly indicated otherwise.

Obligations of Seller Entities. The Seller agrees to take all action necessary to cause each and every other Seller Entity to observe, comply with and perform its covenants and obligations in this Agreement. To the extent that any covenants or obligations in this Agreement are stated to be covenants or obligations of the Seller Entities or any of them, and a Seller Entity is not a party to this Agreement (including any Person that becomes a Seller Entity after the date of this Agreement), the Seller shall take all action necessary to cause such non-party Seller Entity to observe, comply with and perform such covenants or obligations, including causing such non-party Seller Entity to agree in writing in favour of the Buyer to be bound by this Agreement.

Confidentiality. The Buyer shall not, without the express written consent of the Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, disclose any data or information concerning the operations of the Seller Entities obtained in connection with the Transaction Documents which is not already in the public domain (the “Confidential Information”); provided, however, the Buyer may disclose Confidential Information without the consent of the Seller: (i) if required by Applicable Law or requested by a Government Body having jurisdiction over the Buyer or its Affiliates; (ii) to the Buyer’s Affiliates and to any representatives, consultants or advisers of the Buyer or its Affiliates for the purpose of providing services to the Buyer or its Affiliates; and (iii) to any Person to whom the Buyer, in good faith, anticipates Transferring an interest in this Agreement as contemplated by Section 21(a) or 21(b) and such Person’s Affiliates and the representatives, consultants and advisers of such Person or its Affiliates. In the case of disclosure pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii), the Buyer shall be responsible to ensure that the recipient of the Confidential Information does not disclose the Confidential Information to the same extent as if it were bound by the same non-disclosure obligations of the Buyer hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer shall not be restricted from disclosing the terms of this Agreement and deliveries of Refined Gold hereunder. For greater certainty, the Buyer shall be entitled to disclose publicly data or information concerning the operations of the Seller Entities, without the consent of the Seller, once such information has been publicly disclosed by any of the Seller Entities.

No Partnership. Nothing herein shall be construed to create, expressly or by implication, a joint venture, agency relationship, fiduciary relationship, mining partnership, commercial partnership or other partnership relationship between the Parties.

Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is wholly or partially invalid, this Agreement shall be interpreted as if the invalid provision had not been a part hereof so that the invalidity shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this Agreement which shall be construed as if this Agreement had been executed without the invalid portion.

Rate of Interest. The Parties do not intend that the purchase of the Purchased Gold Ounces be in the nature of a loan, but, if it were so characterized by an arbitrator, court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction, the Parties agree that the return to the Buyer, whether for interest, fees or otherwise, not exceed the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law. Accordingly, if such arbitrator, court or tribunal should rule that: (i) the purchase of the Purchase Gold Ounces is of the nature of or is deemed to be a loan; and (ii) a portion of the total return to the Buyer is of the nature of or is deemed to be interest, and the portion of the total return, for deemed interest, fees or otherwise would, but for this provision, exceed the amount of return permitted under Applicable Law, then the delivery schedule for the aggregate quantity of Refined Gold remaining deliverable shall automatically be extended such that the amount of return does not exceed the maximum amount permitted under Applicable Law, and this Agreement shall not be terminated solely as a result of such violation.

Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement among the Parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements, negotiations, discussions and understandings, written or oral, among the Parties. The Seller and the Buyer agree that the confirmation letter dated December 5, 2013 between the Seller and the Buyer is hereby terminated with effect from the date of this Agreement.

Amendments. This Agreement may not be changed, amended or modified in any manner, except pursuant to an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the Parties.

Waiver. The failure by any Party to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of any such provision unless such waiver is acknowledged in writing, nor shall such failure affect the validity of this Agreement or any part thereof or the right of a Party to enforce each and every provision. No waiver of a breach of this Agreement shall be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

Specific Performance. Each of the Parties acknowledges that any breach of this Agreement may cause the other Parties irreparable harm for which damages are not an adequate remedy. The Parties agree that, in the event of any such breach, in addition to other remedies at law or in equity that a Party may have, a Party shall be entitled to seek specific performance.

No Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and, except for the indemnified Persons referred to in Section 18, is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision in this Agreement be enforced by, any other Person.
