Commitment from a Person that is not an existing Lender.

(c) Upon receipt of an Accordion Notice pursuant to Section 2.6(b), each Accordion Lender that is an existing Lender shall send a confirming letter to the Administrative Agent confirming that it has agreed to increase its Individual Commitment with respect to the Credit Facility and setting out the amounts of that increase. The increase in that Accordion Lender's Individual Commitment with respect to the Credit Facility shall, subject to Sections 2.6(b) and 2.6(f), take place with effect from such day as such Accordion Lender, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may agree. Upon any such increase of that Accordion Lender's Individual Commitment with respect to the Credit Facility, Schedule A hereto shall be deemed to be amended to increase the Individual Commitment of that Accordion Lender with respect to the Credit Facility by the amount of such increase. For certainty, subject to the second last sentence of Section 2.6(b), increases of the Individual Commitments of the existing Lenders with respect to the Credit Facility pursuant to this Section 2.6 need not be effected on a pro rata basis.

(d) Upon delivery to the Administrative Agent of an Accordion Agreement executed by the Borrower and an Accordion Lender that is so acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall promptly execute and deliver such Accordion Agreement whereupon this agreement and each other Credit Document shall, subject to Section 2.6(f) and on and from such date as the parties thereto may agree, be read and construed as if such Accordion Lender were party to this agreement as a Lender having all of the rights and obligations of a Lender expressed herein with respect to the Individual Commitment with respect to the Credit Facility that the Accordion Lender has agreed to accept and all references to any Lender in any Credit Document shall (to the extent the context so admits) be construed accordingly.

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof with respect to the funding of Loans in accordance with each relevant Lender's Pro Rata Share, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to reallocate the funding obligations among the relevant Lenders or the outstanding credit under the Credit Facility in order to ensure, to the greatest extent practicable, that after such increase the aggregate amount of credit extended hereunder by each Lender coincides with such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of credit extended under the Credit Facility by all of the Lenders, provided that no such allocation shall result in the aggregate amount of credit extended hereunder by any Lender exceeding such Lender's Individual Commitment with respect to the Credit Facility. The Administrative Agent may exercise the timing of its discretion to reallocate as aforesaid so as to minimize or eliminate the requirement to break a Term SOFR Rate contract, or incur breakage fees pursuant to Section 8.4 in respect of any outstanding Term Benchmark Loan.

(i) shall be permitted in accordance with this Section 2.6 until the Accordion Availability Effective Date;

(v) shall be effective until the Administrative Agent has received evidence of (i) supplements to the Security Documents governed by Guyanese law reflecting the increase to the face amount of such Security in an amount equal to the increase in the Accordion specified in the relevant Accordion Notice and (ii) payment of the incremental Guyanese registrar filing fee and stamp duties in respect thereof, such incremental fee and duty payments reflecting the increase to the face amount of such Security in an amount equal to the increase in the Accordion specified in the relevant Accordion Notice; and

3.2 Funding of Loans

Each Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of the principal amount of each Loan prior to 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on the date of the extension of credit. The Administrative Agent shall, upon fulfilment by the Borrower of the terms and conditions set forth in Article 12 and unless otherwise irrevocably authorized and directed in the Drawdown Notice, make such funds available to the Borrower on the date of the extension of credit by crediting the Designated Account (or causing such account to be credited). Unless the Administrative Agent has been notified by a Lender at least one Banking Day prior to the date of the extension of credit that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of such Loan, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion of the Loan available to the Administrative Agent on the date of the extension of credit in accordance with the provisions thereof and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent has made such assumption, to the extent such Lender shall not have so made its Pro Rata Share of the Loan available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, forthwith on demand, such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Loan and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith together with interest thereon at the then prevailing interbank rate for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is paid or repaid to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that notwithstanding such obligation, if such Lender fails so to pay, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any rights that the Borrower might have against such Lender, repay such amount to the Administrative Agent forthwith after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent. The amount payable by each Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant hereto shall be set forth in a certificate delivered by the Administrative Agent to such Lender and the Borrower (which certificate shall contain reasonable details of how the amount payable is calculated) and shall constitute prima facie evidence of such amount payable. If such Lender makes the payment to the Administrative Agent required herein, the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Loan for purposes of this agreement and shall entitle the Lender to all rights and remedies against the Borrower in respect of such Loan.

3.3 Failure of Lender to Fund Loan

If any Lender (a “Non-Funding Lender”) fails to make available to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of any Loan as required and the Administrative Agent has not funded pursuant to Section 3.2, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice of such failure by such Non-Funding Lender to the Borrower and the other Lenders and such notice shall state that any Lender may make available to the Administrative Agent all or any portion of the Non-Funding Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Loan (but in no way shall any other Lender or the Administrative Agent be obliged to do so) in the place and stead of the Non-Funding Lender. If more than one Lender gives notice that it is prepared to make funds available in the place and stead of a Non-Funding Lender in such circumstances and the aggregate of the funds which such Lenders (herein collectively called the “Contributing Lenders” and individually called the “Contributing Lender”) are prepared to make available exceeds the amount of the advance which the Non-Funding Lender failed to make, then each Contributing Lender shall be deemed to have given notice that it is prepared to make available its pro rata share of such advance based on the Contributing Lenders’ relative commitments to advance in such circumstances. If any Contributing Lender makes funds available in the place and stead of a Non-Funding Lender in such circumstances, then the Non-Funding Lender shall pay to any Contributing Lender making the funds available in its place and stead, forthwith on demand, any amount advanced on its behalf together with interest thereon at the then prevailing interbank rate for each day from the date of advance to the date of payment, against payment by the Contributing Lender making the funds available of all interest received in respect of the Loan from the Borrower. In addition to interest as aforesaid, the Borrower shall pay all amounts owing by the Borrower to the Non-Funding Lender hereunder (with respect to the amounts advanced by the Contributing Lenders on behalf of the Non-Funding Lender) to the Contributing Lenders until such time as the Non-Funding Lender pays to the Administrative Agent for the Contributing Lenders all amounts advanced by the Contributing Lenders on behalf of the Non-Funding Lender.

3.4 Timing of Credit Availments

No Term Benchmark Loan under the Credit Facility may have a maturity date later than the Maturity Date.

3.5 Time and Place of Payments

Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, the Borrower shall make all payments pursuant to this agreement or pursuant to any document, instrument or agreement delivered pursuant hereto by deposit to the Designated Account before 2:00 pm (Toronto time) on the day specified for payment and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to withdraw the amount of any payment due to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder from such account on the day specified for payment.

3.6 Remittance of Payments

Forthwith after the withdrawal from the Designated Account by the Administrative Agent of any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts for the benefit of the Lenders pursuant to Section 3.5, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to Sections 3.3 and 8.3, remit to each Lender, in immediately available funds, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such payment

1415-9758-8761.1

Credit Agreement – G Mining

(except to the extent such payment results from a Loan with respect to which a Lender had failed, pursuant to Section 3.2, to make available to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share and where any other Lender has made funds available in the place and stead of a Non-Funding Lender); provided that if the Administrative Agent, on the assumption that it will receive, on any particular date, a payment of principal (including, without limitation, a prepayment), interest, fees or other amount under the Credit Facility, remits to each Lender its Pro Rata Share of such payment and the Borrower fails to make such payment, each Lender agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent, forthwith on demand, to the extent that such amount is not recovered from the Borrower on demand and after reasonable efforts by the Administrative Agent to collect such amount (without in any way obligating the Administrative Agent to take any legal action with respect to such collection), such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the payment made to it pursuant hereto together with interest thereon at the then prevailing interbank rate for each day from the date such amount is remitted to the Lenders until the date such amount is paid or repaid to the Administrative Agent, the exact amount of the repayment required to be made by the Lenders pursuant hereto to be as set forth in a certificate delivered by the Administrative Agent to each Lender, which certificate shall constitute prima facie evidence of such amount of repayment.

3.7 Evidence of Indebtedness

The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts wherein the Administrative Agent shall record the amount and type of credit outstanding, each advance and each payment of principal and interest on account of each Loan and all other amounts becoming due to and being paid to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent hereunder, including standby fees. The Administrative Agent’s accounts constitute, in the absence of manifest error, prima facie evidence of the indebtedness of the Borrower pursuant to this agreement.

3.8 Notice Periods

Each Drawdown Notice, Rollover Notice, Conversion Notice and Prepayment Notice shall be given to the Administrative Agent:

(a) prior to 12:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the third Banking Day prior to the date of any voluntary prepayment;

(b) prior to 12:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the third Banking Day prior to the date of a drawdown or rollover of a Term Benchmark Loan; and

3.9 Administrative Agent’s Discretion to Allocate

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.2 with respect to the funding of Loans in accordance with each Lender’s Pro Rata Share, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to reallocate the funding or reimbursement obligations among the Lenders in order to ensure, to the greatest extent practicable, that after such funding the aggregate amount of credit extended hereunder by each Lender coincides with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of credit extended hereunder by all of the Lenders, provided that no such allocation shall result in

1415-9758-8761.1

Credit Agreement – G Mining

the aggregate amount of credit extended hereunder by any Lender exceeding such Lender’s Individual Commitment.

3.10 Alternate Rate of Interest.

(a) Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of this Section 3.10, if:

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Loan, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or the Term SOFR Rate (including because the Term SOFR Reference Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period; or

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Majority Lenders prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Loan that the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Term Benchmark Loan for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark (1) any request pursuant to a Drawdown Notice, Rollover Notice, or Conversion Notice, as applicable, that requests a Loan of a Term Benchmark Loan shall instead be deemed to be a request for Loan of, or a conversion or rollover of to, a Base Rate Loan; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice (x) affect only one type of Loan, then all other types of Loans shall be permitted and (y) do not affect all Lenders, then requests by the Borrower for Term Benchmark Loans may be made to the Lenders that are not affected thereby. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 3.10(a) with respect to an Adjusted Term SOFR Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan, then until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark, any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan (or the next succeeding Banking Day if such day is not a Banking Day), be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute a Base Rate Loan.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Credit Document in

1415-9758-8761.1

Credit Agreement – G Mining

55 -

respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this agreement or any other Credit Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Credit Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Banking Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this agreement or any other Credit Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders. If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis.

(c) In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this agreement or any other Credit Document.

(d) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (e) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.10, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this agreement or any other Credit Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.10.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent

1415-9758-8761.1

Credit Agreement – G Mining

56 -

in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of "Interest Period" (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of "Interest Period" (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(f) Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Term Benchmark Loan of, conversion to or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Loan of or conversion to a Base Rate Loan.

3.11 Illegality

If after the date hereof, the adoption of any Applicable Law, or any change in any Applicable Law (whether adopted before or after the date hereof), or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by any Official Body, or compliance by any Lender with any such Applicable Law, shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make, maintain or fund its portion of Term Benchmark Loans, such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Lenders and the Borrower. Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.11, such Lender shall designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the good faith reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender. Upon receipt of such notice, notwithstanding anything contained in this agreement, the Borrower shall repay in full the then outstanding principal amount of such Lender’s portion of each affected Term Benchmark Loan, together with accrued interest thereon, on either (a) the Interest Payment Date applicable to such affected Term Benchmark Loans, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain and fund its portion of such Term Benchmark Loan to such day or (b) within 10 Banking Days of demand from such Lender if such Lender may not lawfully continue to fund and maintain its portion of such affected Term Benchmark Loans to such day. Concurrently with repaying such portion of each affected Term Benchmark Loan, the Borrower may borrow a Base Rate Loan from such Lender, whether or not it would have been entitled to effect such borrowing and such Lender shall make such Loan of a Base Rate Loan, if so requested, in an amount such that the outstanding principal amount

1415-9758-8761.1

Credit Agreement – G Mining

of the affected Loan made by such Lender shall equal the outstanding principal amount of such Loan immediately prior to such repayment. The obligation of such Lender to make Term Benchmark Loans is suspended only until such time as it is once more possible and legal for such Lender to fund and maintain Term Benchmark Loans.

ARTICLE 7 INTEREST AND FEES

7.1 Interest Rates

The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders, in accordance with Section 3.5, interest on the outstanding principal amount from time to time of each Loan at the rate per annum equal to:

(a) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate plus the Applicable Rate in the case of each Term Benchmark Loan; and
(b) the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate in the case of each Base Rate Loan.

7.2 Calculation and Payment of Interest

(a) Interest on the outstanding principal amount from time to time of each Loan and on overdue interest thereon shall accrue from day to day from and including the date on which credit is obtained by way of such Loan or on which such overdue interest is due, as the case may be, to but excluding the date on which such Loan or overdue interest, as the case may be, is repaid in full (both before and after maturity and as well after as before judgment) and shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed divided by (x) 360 days, in the case of a Term Benchmark Loan or (y) 365 days (or 366 days in the case of a leap year) in the case of a Base Rate Loan.

(b) Accrued interest shall be paid,

(i) in the case of interest on Base Rate Loans, monthly in arrears on the last Banking Day of each month; and
(ii) in the case of interest on Term Benchmark Loans, on the last day of the applicable Interest Period (or the next succeeding Banking Day if such day is not a Banking Day); provided that, in the case of Interest Periods of a duration longer than three months, accrued interest shall be paid no less frequently than every three months from the first day of such Interest Period during the term of such Interest Period and on the date on which such Term Benchmark Loans are otherwise required to be repaid.

7.3 General Interest Rules

(a) For the purposes hereof, whenever interest is calculated on the basis of a year of 360, 365 or 366 days, each rate of interest determined pursuant to such

1415-9758-8761.1

Credit Agreement – G Mining

calculation expressed as an annual rate for the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) is equivalent to such rate as so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360, 365 or 366 days, respectively.

(b) Interest and overdue interest on Base Rate Loans and Term Benchmark Loans shall be payable in U.S. Dollars.

(c) If the Borrower fails to pay any fee or other amount of any nature payable by it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under any document, instrument or agreement delivered pursuant hereto on the due date therefor, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, as the case may be, interest on such overdue amount in the same currency as such overdue amount is payable from and including such due date to but excluding the date of actual payment (as well after as before judgment) at the rate per annum, calculated and compounded monthly, which is equal to:

(i) in the case of a Term Benchmark Loan, the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for the Interest Period applicable thereto at such time; and

(ii) in the case of a Base Rate Loan, the Base Rate;

plus, in each case, the Applicable Rate.

Such interest on overdue amounts shall become due and be paid on demand made by the Administrative Agent.

7.4 Selection of Interest Periods

With respect to each Term Benchmark Loan, the Borrower shall specify in the Drawdown Notice, Conversion Notice or Rollover Notice, the duration of the Interest Period provided that:

(a) Interest Periods for Term Benchmark Loans shall have a duration from one, three or six months, or any other tenor requested by the Borrower and agreed by the Administrative Agent (in each case, subject to availability), provided that in the event the Borrower fails to specify an Interest Period for any Term Benchmark Loan in the applicable Drawdown Notice, Conversion Notice or Rollover Notice, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month;

(b) the first Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Loan shall commence on and include the day on which credit is obtained by way of such Loan and each subsequent Interest Period applicable thereto shall commence on and include the date of the expiry of the immediately preceding Interest Period applicable thereto; and

1415-9758-8761.1

Credit Agreement – G Mining

(c) if any Interest Period would end on a day which is not a Banking Day, such Interest Period shall be extended to the next succeeding Banking Day unless such next succeeding Banking Day falls in the next calendar month, in which case such Interest Period shall be shortened to end on the immediately preceding Banking Day.

7.5 Standby Fees

Upon the first Banking Day following the completion of each Fiscal Quarter and on the termination of the Credit Facility, the Borrower shall pay, in accordance with Section 3.5, to the Lenders, in arrears, a standby fee calculated at the rate per annum, on the basis of a year of 365 days (or, in the case of a leap year, 366 days), equal to the Applicable Rate on the daily Available Credit during the most recently completed Fiscal Quarter, such fee to accrue daily from the date of the execution and delivery of this agreement or the first day of each Fiscal Quarter, as applicable, up to and including the last day of such Fiscal Quarter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, standby fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Individual Commitment of any Lender while it is a Defaulting Lender.

7.6 Applicable Rate Adjustment

On the second Banking Day following each date the Borrower delivers a compliance certificate to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.1(b)(iii) which discloses a Leverage Ratio at a Level which differs from the Level then in effect, the Applicable Rate applicable to (i) all Loans outstanding on the date any such change takes effect and (ii) the standby fee referenced in Section 7.5 will in each case be adjusted immediately, but without retroactive effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing if the Borrower fails to deliver a compliance certificate to the Administrative Agent by the date required to do so under Section 11.1(b)(iii), the Leverage Ratio shall be deemed as from such date to be at Level IV until such failure is cured, at which time the Applicable Rate shall be determined in accordance with the table set forth in the definition of Applicable Rate, but without any adjustments having retroactive effect.

7.7 Interest Act Compliance

For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), any rate of interest made payable under the terms of this agreement at a rate or percentage (the "Contract Rate") for any period that is less than a consecutive 12 month period, such as a 360 or 365 day basis (the "Contract Rate Basis"), is equivalent to the yearly rate or percentage of interest determined by multiplying the Contract Rate by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the consecutive 12 month period commencing on the date such equivalent rate or percentage is being determined and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Contract Rate Basis. The Borrower confirms that it fully understands and is able to calculate the rates of interest and fees applicable to Accommodations based on the methodology for calculating per annum rates provided for in this agreement. The Lenders and Administrative Agent agree that, if requested in writing by the Borrower, it will calculate the nominal and effective per annum rate of interest or fees on any Accommodation outstanding at the time of such request and provide such information to the Borrower promptly following such request; provided that any error in any such calculation, or any failure to provide such information on request, shall not relieve the Borrower of any of its obligations under this agreement or any other Finance Document, nor result in any liability to the

1415-9758-8761.1

Credit Agreement – G Mining

62 -

Lenders and Administrative Agent. To the extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby irrevocably agree not to plead or assert, whether by way of defence or otherwise, in any proceeding relating to any Finance Document, that the interest or fees payable under any Finance Document and the calculation thereof has not been adequately disclosed to the Borrower, whether pursuant to section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada) or any other Applicable Law or legal principle.

RESERVE, CAPITAL, INDEMNITY AND TAX PROVISIONS

8.1 Conditions of Credit

The obtaining or maintaining of credit hereunder shall be subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Article 8.

8.2 Increased Costs

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

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

(ii) subject any Finance Party to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this agreement, any extension of credit made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Finance Party in respect thereof, except for Indemnified Taxes covered by Section 8.6 and the imposition, or any change in the rate, of any Excluded Tax payable by such Finance Party; or

(iii) impose on any Finance Party or any applicable interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this agreement or any extension of credit made by such Finance Party or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Finance Party of making or maintaining any extension of credit (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such extension of credit) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Finance Party hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then upon request of such Finance Party from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Finance Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Finance Party for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered, such amount or amounts to be determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the relevant Finance Party.

(b) Capital and Liquidity Requirements. If any Finance Party determines in its sole and absolute discretion that any Change in Law affecting such Finance Party or any lending office of such Finance Party or such Finance Party's holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Finance Party's

1415-9758-8761.1

Credit Agreement – G Mining

63 -

capital or on the capital of such Finance Party's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this agreement, the Individual Commitment of such Finance Party or the extensions of credit made by it, to a level below that which such Finance Party or its holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Finance Party's policies and the policies of its holding company with respect to, as applicable, capital adequacy or liquidity requirements), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Finance Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Finance Party or its holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Finance Party setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Finance Party or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, including reasonable detail (subject to redactions for commercially sensitive and/or confidential information, determined in the sole discretion of the relevant Finance Party, acting reasonably) of the basis of calculation of the amount or amounts, and delivered to the Borrower from time to time shall be prima facie evidence of such amounts absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Finance Party the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Finance Party to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Finance Party's right to demand such compensation, except that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Finance Party pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 120 days prior to the date that such Finance Party delivers the certificate setting forth such increased costs or reduced rate of return in accordance with Section 8.2(c), unless the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, in which case the 120 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e) Alternate Booking Point. Each Finance Party agrees that, as promptly as practicable after it becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause it to seek additional amounts from the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.2, it will use reasonable efforts to make, fund or maintain the affected credit of such Finance Party through another lending office or take such other actions as it deems appropriate if as a result thereof the additional moneys which would otherwise be required to be paid in respect of such credit pursuant to 8.2, would be reduced and if, as determined by such Finance Party in its sole discretion, the making, funding or maintaining of such affected credit through such other lending office or the taking of such other actions would not otherwise adversely affect such credit or such Finance Party.

8.3 Failure to Fund as a Result of Change of Circumstances

(a) If (i) any Lender but not all of the Lenders who have Individual Commitments seeks additional compensation pursuant to Sections 8.2(a) or 8.2(b), (ii) any

Credit Agreement – G Mining

64 -

Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, a Non-FATCA Compliant Lender or a Lender in respect of which any amounts are paid or become payable by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.6, or (iii) any Lender refuses to give timely consent to an amendment, modification or waiver of this agreement that, pursuant to Section 14.14, requires consent of all the Lenders, where the consent of the Majority Lenders has been given with respect thereto (collectively with any Lender described in paragraphs (i) and (ii) above, for the purposes of this Section, the “Affected Lender”), then the Borrower may indicate to the Administrative Agent in writing that the Borrower desires to replace the Affected Lender with one or more of the other Lenders, and the Administrative Agent shall then forthwith give notice to the other Lenders that any such Lender or Lenders may, in the aggregate, advance all (but not part) of the Affected Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the affected credit and, in the aggregate, assume all (but not part) of the Affected Lender’s Individual Commitments and obligations under the Credit Facility and acquire all (but not part) of the rights of the Affected Lender and assume all (but not part) of the obligations of the Affected Lender under each of the other Credit Documents to the extent they relate to the Credit Facility (but in no event shall any other Lender or the Administrative Agent be obliged to do so). If one or more Lenders shall so agree in writing (herein collectively called the “Assenting Lenders” and individually called an “Assenting Lender”) with respect to such advance, acquisition and assumption, the Pro Rata Share of such credit of each Assenting Lender and the Individual Commitments and the obligations of such Assenting Lender under the Credit Facility and the rights and obligations of such Assenting Lender under each of the other Credit Documents to the extent they relate to the Credit Facility shall be increased by its respective pro rata share (based on the relative Individual Commitments of the Assenting Lenders) of the Affected Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such credit and Individual Commitments and obligations under the Credit Facility and rights and obligations under each of the other Credit Documents to the extent they relate to the Credit Facility on a date mutually acceptable to the Assenting Lenders and the Borrower. On such date, the Assenting Lenders shall extend to the Borrower the Affected Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such credit and shall prepay to the Affected Lender the advances of the Affected Lender then outstanding, together with all interest accrued thereon and all other amounts owing to the Affected Lender hereunder, and, upon such advance and prepayment by the Assenting Lenders, the Affected Lender shall cease to be a “Lender” for purposes of this agreement and shall no longer have any rights or obligations hereunder. Upon the assumption of the Affected Lender’s Individual Commitments as aforesaid by an Assenting Lender, Schedule A hereto shall be deemed to be amended to increase the Individual Commitments of such Assenting Lender by the respective amounts of such assumption. For certainty, the Borrower shall not be required to pay an Affected Lender that is a Defaulting Lender in respect of breakage costs or other amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 8.4 as a result of prepayment to such Lender. In the event that an Affected Lender is not replaced pursuant to the foregoing provisions and provided (x) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of any such prepayment and cancellation

1415-9758-8761.1

Credit Agreement – G Mining

or would arise immediately thereafter and (y) such prepayment and cancellation is not prohibited by applicable law, the Borrower may, upon five Banking Days’ notice to the Affected Lender and the Administrative Agent, cancel the Individual Commitments of such Affected Lender and prepay advances of such Affected Lender then outstanding, together with all interest accrued thereon and all other amounts owing to such Affected Lender hereunder (such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent), and, upon such notice and prepayment by the Borrower, such Affected Lender shall cease to be a “Lender” for all purposes of this agreement and shall no longer have any obligations hereunder.

(b) The Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (a “Replacement Lender Notice”), from time to time prior to the Maturity Date, request that the amount of the Individual Commitments with respect to the Credit Facility be increased by the aggregate amount of any Individual Commitments cancelled pursuant to this section (which have not been replaced) specifying the relevant Lenders and/or proposed new relevant Lenders that have agreed to accept Individual Commitments with respect to the Credit Facility in the aggregate amount of such requested increase. For certainty, the aggregate Individual Commitments under the Credit Facility shall not, at any particular time, exceed the Credit Limit.

(c) Each Replacement Lender that is an existing Lender shall send a confirming letter to the Administrative Agent confirming that it has agreed to an increased Individual Commitment with respect to the Credit Facility and setting out the amount of that commitment. The establishment of that Replacement Lender’s Individual Commitment with respect to the Credit Facility shall, subject to Section 8.3(f) and 8.3(g), take place with effect from the second Banking Day following the date of the delivery of the Replacement Lender Notice to the Administrative Agent. Upon the establishment of that Replacement Lender’s increased Individual Commitment with respect to the Credit Facility, Schedule A hereto shall be deemed to be amended to evidence the Individual Commitment with respect to the Credit Facility of that Replacement Lender by the amount of such increase.

(d) Any Replacement Lender that is not an existing Lender must be listed in Schedule I, Schedule II or Schedule III of the Bank Act (Canada) or otherwise acceptable to the Administrative Agent acting in its sole discretion exercised reasonably. Upon delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Replacement Lender Agreement executed by the Borrower and a Replacement Lender, the Administrative Agent shall promptly execute and deliver such Replacement Lender Agreement whereupon this agreement and each other Credit Document shall, subject to Section 8.3(f) and 8.3(g), henceforth be read and construed as if such Replacement Lender were party to this agreement as a Lender having all of the rights and obligations of a Lender expressed herein with respect to the Individual Commitment that the Replacement Lender has agreed to accept and all references to any Lenders in any Credit Document shall (to the extent the

1415-9758-8761.1

Credit Agreement – G Mining

66 -

context so admits) be construed accordingly. Consequent thereto, Schedule A hereto shall be deemed to be amended to add the Individual Commitment of such Replacement Lender. Each Lender irrevocably appoints, authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent, as its attorney and agent, with full power of substitution and delegation, to complete and execute on its behalf each Replacement Lender Agreement relating to each Replacement Lender. Each Lender agrees that it will be bound by the terms of each such Replacement Lender Agreement so completed and executed by the Administrative Agent.

(e) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the increased Individual Commitments with respect to the Credit Facility arising pursuant to Section 8.3(c) and 8.3(d).

(f) No increase in or establishment of, any Individual Commitments with respect to the Credit Facility pursuant to this 8.3 shall be permitted at any time that a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is outstanding.

(g) On the first Banking Day following any deemed amendment to Schedule A pursuant to Section 8.3(c) and 8.3(d), the Administrative Agent shall advise the Replacement Lender in writing of (i) the aggregate outstanding credit under the Credit Facility already advanced by the Lenders to the Borrower (the “Existing Facility Indebtedness”) and (ii) its Pro Rata Share of the Existing Facility Indebtedness. Within one Banking Day of receipt of such notice from the Administrative Agent, the Replacement Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the pro rata benefit of each Lender, its Pro Rata Share of the Existing Facility Indebtedness whereupon the Administrative Agent shall disburse such proceeds to the Lenders in accordance with Section 3.6.

8.4 Indemnity Relating to Credits

Upon notice from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower (which notice shall be accompanied by a detailed calculation of the amount to be paid by the Borrower), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent such amount or amounts as will compensate the Administrative Agent or the Lenders for any loss, cost or expense incurred by them in the liquidation or redeposit of any funds acquired by the Lenders to fund or maintain any portion of a Term Benchmark Loan as a result of:

(a) the failure of the Borrower to borrow or make repayments on the dates specified under this agreement or in any notice from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (provided that if any notice specifies the repayment of a Term Benchmark Loan at any time other than its maturity date, then the Borrower shall be responsible for any loss, costs or expenses referred to above); or

(b) the repayment or prepayment of any amounts on a day other than the payment dates prescribed herein or in any notice from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (provided that if any notice specifies the repayment of a Term Benchmark Loan at any time other than its maturity date, then the Borrower shall be responsible for any loss, costs or expenses referred to above).

8.5 Indemnity for Transactional and Environmental Liability

(a) The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates, shareholders, officers, directors, employees, and agents (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) free and harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, suits, losses, costs, charges, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether such Indemnified Party is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and out of pocket disbursements and amounts paid in settlement which are approved by the Borrower, acting reasonably (collectively in this Section 8.5(a), the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred or suffered by, or asserted against, the Indemnified Parties or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (i) the extension of credit contemplated herein, (ii) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of any credit extended hereunder, (iii) any actual or threatened investigation, litigation or other proceeding relating to any credit extended or proposed to be extended as contemplated herein or (iv) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Finance Documents and any instrument, document or agreement executed pursuant hereto; provided such indemnity (w) does not extend to any Indemnified Liabilities that a court of competent jurisdiction determined arose on account of the relevant Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or breach by such Indemnified Party of its obligations under the Finance Documents, (x) does not extend to any loss of profit, income, revenue or business opportunities (it being agreed, for certainty, that such exclusion shall not apply to the repayment of principal, the payment of interest, fees and other related costs and expenses, or any other amount expressly required to be paid, repaid or reimbursed (as applicable under or pursuant to the Credit Documents), (y) shall not apply to disputes solely between or among Indemnified Parties and (z) does not extend to any Indemnified Liabilities arising out of or relating to an Erroneous Payment or otherwise pursuant to Section 14.25).

(b) Without limiting the generality of the indemnity set out in the preceding clause (a), the Borrower hereby further agrees to indemnify and hold the Indemnified Parties free and harmless from and against any and all claims, demand, actions, causes of action, suits, losses, costs, charges, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith, including, without limitation, reasonable and documented legal fees and out of pocket disbursements and amounts paid in settlement which are approved by the Borrower, acting reasonably, of any and every kind whatsoever paid (collectively in this Section 8.5(b), the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred or suffered by, or asserted against, the Indemnified Parties or any of them for, with respect to, or as a direct or indirect result of, (i) the presence on or under, or the escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge, emission or release from, any real property legally or beneficially owned (or any estate or interest which is

1415-9758-8761.1

Credit Agreement – G Mining

owned), leased, used or operated by any Subject Entity of any Hazardous Material, and (ii) any other violation of or liability of any Subject Entity pursuant to an Environmental and Social Law, and regardless of whether caused by, or within the control of, such Subject Entity, except for any such Indemnified Liabilities that a court of competent jurisdiction determined arose on account of the relevant Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(c) All obligations provided for in this Section 8.5 shall survive indefinitely the permanent repayment of the outstanding credit hereunder and the termination of this agreement. The obligations provided for in this Section 8.5 shall not be reduced or impaired by any investigation made by or on behalf of the Finance Parties.

(d) The Borrower hereby agrees that, for the purposes of effectively allocating the risk of loss placed on the Borrower by this Section 8.5, each Finance Party shall be deemed to be acting as the agent or trustee on behalf of and for the benefit of their respective shareholders, officers, directors, employees and agents.

(e) If, for any reason, the obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section 8.5 shall be unenforceable, the Borrower agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each obligation that is permissible under Applicable Law.

8.6 Gross-Up for Taxes

(a) Any and all payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower under this agreement or any other Credit Document or any Cash Management Agreement (any such payment being hereinafter referred to as a “Payment”) to or for the benefit of a Finance Party shall be made without set-off or counterclaim, and free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any and all present or future Taxes except to the extent that such deduction or withholding is required by Applicable Law. If any such Taxes are so required to be deducted or withheld from or in respect of any Payment made to or for the benefit of a Finance Party, the Borrower shall:

(i) promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such requirement;

(ii) with respect to Indemnified Taxes, pay to such Finance Party in addition to the Payment to which such Finance Party is otherwise entitled, such additional amount as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by such Finance Party (free and clear of, and net of, any such Indemnified Taxes, including the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes required to be deducted or withheld from any additional amount paid by the Borrower under this Section 8.6(a), whether assessable against the Borrower or such Finance Party) equals the full amount the Finance Party, would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required;

1415-9758-8761.1

Credit Agreement – G Mining

69 -

(iii) make such deduction or withholding;

(iv) pay to the relevant Official Body in accordance with Applicable Law the full amount of Taxes required to be deducted or withheld (including the full amount of Taxes required to be deducted or withheld from any additional amount paid by the Borrower, to the Finance Party under this Section 8.6(a)), within the time period required by Applicable Law; and

(v) as promptly as possible thereafter, forward to the relevant Finance Party an original official receipt (or a certified copy), or other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and such Finance Party, evidencing such payment to such Official Body.

(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all Other Taxes (without duplication of other amounts payable by the Borrower under this Section 8.6).

(c) The Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds harmless each Finance Party, on an after-Taxes basis, for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (without duplication of any amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.6(a) or Section 8.6(b)). In addition, and without duplication, the Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds harmless each Finance Party for all Taxes levied, imposed or assessed against (and whether or not paid directly by) the Administrative Agent or such Finance Party, as applicable, and for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, resulting from or relating to the Borrower's failure to: (i) remit to the Administrative Agent or such Finance Party the documentation referred to in Section 8.6(a)(v); or (ii) pay any Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the relevant Official Body under Section 8.6(a)(iv) or Section 8.6(b) (including, without limitation, any Taxes imposed by any Official Body on amounts payable under this Section 8.6).

The provisions of this Section 8.6(c) shall apply whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally assessed. The Administrative Agent or any Finance Party who pays any Taxes or Other Taxes shall promptly notify the Borrower of such payment provided, however, that failure to provide such notice shall not detract from, or compromise, the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 8.6, except to the extent Borrower is materially prejudiced by any such failure. Payment pursuant to this indemnification shall be made within 20 days from the date the Administrative Agent or the relevant Finance Party, as the case may be, makes written demand therefor accompanied by a certificate prepared by the Administrative Agent or a Finance Party setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of the amount of such Taxes or Other Taxes, which certificate shall be prima facie evidence of such amount, absent any manifest error.

(d) If the Borrower determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting any Indemnified Taxes for which a payment has been made under this Section 8.6, the relevant Finance Party shall, if so requested by the Borrower, cooperate with the Borrower in challenging such Indemnified Taxes at the Borrower's expense.

1415-9758-8761.1

Credit Agreement – G Mining

(e) If any Finance Party receives a refund of Taxes for which a payment has been made by the Borrower under this Section 8.6, which refund in the good faith judgment of the Finance Party is attributable to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such payment made by the Borrower, then such Finance Party shall reimburse the Borrower for such amount (if any, but not exceeding the amount of any payment made under this Section 8.6 that gives rise to such refund), net of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Finance Party which the Finance Party determines in its absolute discretion will leave it, after such reimbursement, in no better or worse position than it would have been in if such Indemnified Taxes had not been exigible. The Borrower, upon the request of a Finance Party, agrees to repay such Finance Party any portion of any such refund paid over to the Borrower that a Finance Party is required to pay to the relevant Official Body and agrees to pay any interest, penalties or other charges paid by such Finance Party as a result of or related to such payment to such Official Body. No Finance Party shall be under any obligation to arrange its tax affairs in any particular manner so as to claim any refund. No Finance Party shall be obliged to disclose any information regarding its tax affairs or computations to the Borrower or any other Person in connection with this Section 8.6(e) or any other provision of this Section 8.6.

(f) Any Finance Party that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Taxes or Other Taxes (collectively, "Relevant Taxes") under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to Payments shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (if any) as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding or a reduced rate of Relevant Taxes. In addition, any Finance Party, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (if any) or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Finance Party is subject to withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Finance Party shall be required to deliver any documentation pursuant to this Section 8.6(f) that such Finance Party is not legally able to deliver. Without limiting the foregoing, each Finance Party shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, executed copies of an applicable IRS Form W-8 or IRS Form W-9 and any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made, including such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including Section

1415-9758-8761.1

Credit Agreement – G Mining

71 -

1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the US Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation as may be appropriate for the Borrower or Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that each Finance Party has complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from any payment made hereunder.

(g) Additional amounts payable under Section 8.6(a) have the same character as the Payments to which they relate. For greater certainty, for example, additional amounts payable under Section 8.6(a), in respect of interest payable under a Finance Document, shall be payments of interest under such Finance Document. All payments made under this Section 8.6 shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 8.6.

(h) The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 8.6 shall survive without limitation the termination of the Credit Facility and this agreement and all other Finance Documents and the permanent repayment of the outstanding credit and all other amounts payable hereunder or thereunder.

ARTICLE 9

REPAYMENTS AND PREPAYMENTS

9.1 Repayment of Credit Facility

The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, in full the outstanding credit under the Credit Facility on the Maturity Date together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all accrued and unpaid fees with respect thereto.

9.2 Repayment of Credit Excess

In the event that there is a Credit Excess at any time, the Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on demand the amount of the Credit Excess. Each such repayment shall be deposited by the Administrative Agent in a segregated account and held in trust for the Lenders to be applied to repay outstanding Loans as they mature.

1415-9758-8761.1
Credit Agreement – G Mining

9.4 Mandatory Prepayments

(a) The Borrower shall, within five Banking Days of the occurrence of a Prepayment Trigger Event, prepay outstanding credit under the Credit Facility in an amount equal to the Applicable Prepayment Amount. Amounts which are prepaid as aforesaid may, subject to Section 12.1, be re-borrowed.

(b) Section 8.4 shall be complied with in connection with any prepayment pursuant to this Section 9.4.

9.5 Prepayment Notice

The Borrower shall give written notice in the form of Schedule M hereto to the Administrative Agent of each voluntary prepayment pursuant to Section 9.3. Such notice (a “Prepayment Notice”) shall be irrevocable, shall be given in accordance with Section 3.8 and shall specify:

(a) the date on which the prepayment is to take place; and

(b) the type and principal amount of the Loan or the portion thereof which is to be prepaid (which amount shall be at least $1,000,000 (or, if less, the amount of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility at such time)).

9.6 Currency of Repayment

All payments and repayments of outstanding credit hereunder shall be made in the currency of such outstanding credit.

9.7 Extension of Maturity Date

(a) At any time not earlier than 60 days prior to the anniversary date of this agreement in each year, the Borrower may, by written request to the Administrative Agent (the “Extension Request”), request that this agreement be amended to extend the then current Maturity Date to a date up to one year later than the then current Maturity Date. A copy of the Extension Request shall be provided by the Administrative Agent to each of the Lenders in accordance with Section 14.18. Each such Lender may, in its sole discretion and regardless of whether or not there is any Default hereunder, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (the “Extension Response Notice”), not later than 30 days after receipt of the Extension Request (the “Extension Response Period”), approve or decline the Extension Request. If any such Lender does not provide an Extension Response Notice within the Extension Response Period, such Lender shall be deemed to have declined the Extension Request. If the Majority Lenders approve the Extension Request, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of such approval and confirm the new Maturity Date, which new Maturity Date shall become effective on and from the then current Maturity Date. If the Majority Lenders do not approve

1415-9758-8761.1

Credit Agreement – G Mining

73 -

the Extension Request, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders and the Maturity Date shall not be extended.

(b) If the Majority Lenders but less than all of the Lenders approve the Extension Request within the Extension Response Period (in this Section 9.7(b), the “Approving Lenders”), the following shall apply:

(i) On or before the second Banking Day after the Extension Response Period, the Administrative Agent shall give written notice (in this Section 9.7(b), the “Acquisition Request Notice”) to the Borrower and each Lender identifying the Approving Lenders and Lender or Lenders that have declined or are deemed to have declined the Extension Request (in this Section 9.7(b), the “Declining Lenders”) and their respective Individual Commitments.

(ii) Any Approving Lender may, at its option, acquire all or any portion of the rights and obligations of the Declining Lenders under the Credit Documents in respect of the Credit Facility (in this Section 9.7(b), all of such rights and obligations being herein called the “Available Amount”) by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent (in this Section 9.7(b), an “Acquisition Notice”) of the portion of the Available Amount which it is prepared to acquire (in this Section 9.7(b), the “Desired Acquisition Amount”). Such Acquisition Notice shall be given within 10 days following the giving of the Acquisition Request Notice (in this Section 9.7(b), such deadline being herein called the “Acquisition Deadline”). If only one Approving Lender gives an Acquisition Notice to the Administrative Agent or if more than one Approving Lender gives an Acquisition Notice to the Administrative Agent but the aggregate of their Desired Acquisition Amounts is less than or equal to the Available Amount, then each such Approving Lender shall be entitled to acquire its Desired Acquisition Amount of the rights and obligations of the Declining Lenders under the Credit Documents. If more than one Approving Lender gives an Acquisition Notice to the Administrative Agent and the aggregate of the Desired Acquisition Amounts is greater than the Available Amount, then each such Approving Lender shall be entitled to acquire a pro rata share of the rights and obligations of the Declining Lenders under the Credit Documents, such pro rata share being determined based on the relative Desired Acquisition Amount of each such Approving Lender. On or before the second Banking Day following the Acquisition Deadline, the Administrative Agent shall give to the Borrower and each Lender a written notice identifying the Available Amount of each Declining Lender and the portion thereof to be acquired by each Approving Lender. Each of such acquisition shall be completed on the then current Maturity Date (without giving effect to the Extension Request) in accordance with the procedures set out in Section 15.5(c). If the Available Amount is not completely acquired by the Approving Lenders, the Borrower may locate other Persons (in this Section 9.7(b)(ii), “Substitute Lenders”) who are listed in Schedule I, Schedule II or Schedule III of the Bank Act (Canada)

1415-9758-8761.1

Credit Agreement – G Mining

or are otherwise acceptable to the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably, to acquire all or a portion of the balance of the rights and obligations of the Declining Lenders under the Credit Documents in respect of the Credit Facility on the then current Maturity Date (without giving effect to the Extension Request) in accordance with the procedures set out in Section 15.5(c). Any outstanding credit extended by the Declining Lenders to the Borrower which is not so acquired by Approving Lenders or Substitute Lenders shall remain outstanding hereunder subject to the terms and conditions hereof but shall be repaid by the Borrower to the Declining Lender in full on the then current Maturity Date (without giving effect to the Extension Request).

ARTICLE 10

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

10.1 Representations and Warranties

To induce the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to enter into this agreement and to induce the Finance Parties to extend credit under the Finance Documents, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Finance Parties as of the Closing Date, as of the date of each extension of credit hereunder, and as of the last day of each Fiscal Quarter, in each case, unless otherwise provided herein, as follows (provided that any representations and warranties which are made as of a specific date shall be as of such date) and acknowledges and confirms that the Finance Parties are relying upon such representations and warranties in entering into this agreement and in extending credit under the Finance Documents:

(a) Status and Power. Each Subject Entity is a corporation duly incorporated and organized and, where legally applicable, validly subsisting in good standing under the laws of its governing jurisdiction. Each Subject Entity is duly qualified, registered or licensed in all jurisdictions where the nature of its business makes such qualification, registration or licensing necessary, except where failure to be in such standing or so qualified, registered or licensed would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Subject Entity has all requisite corporate capacity, power and authority to own, hold under licence or lease its properties, and to carry on its business as now conducted. Each Obligor has all necessary corporate capacity to enter into, and carry out the transactions contemplated by, the Credit Documents to which it is a party.

(b) Authorization and Enforcement. Except as disclosed in Schedule Q(b), all necessary action, corporate or otherwise, has been taken to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by each Obligor of the Credit Documents to which it is a party. Each Obligor has duly executed and delivered the Credit Documents to which it is a party. The Credit Documents to which each Obligor is a party are legal, valid and binding obligations of such Obligor, enforceable against such Obligor in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization and other laws of general application limiting the

1415-9758-8761.1

Credit Agreement – G Mining

75 -

enforcement of creditors' rights generally and (ii) the fact that the courts may deny the granting or enforcement of equitable remedies.

(c) Compliance with Other Instruments. The execution, delivery and performance by each Obligor of the Credit Documents to which it is a party, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and therein, do not and will not conflict with, result in any breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, the terms, conditions or provisions of, the charter or constating documents or by-laws of, or any shareholder agreement or declaration relating to, such Obligor. Except as disclosed in Schedule Q(c), the execution, delivery and performance by each Obligor of the Credit Documents to which it is a party, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and therein, (i) do not and will not conflict with, result in any material breach or violation of, or constitute a material default under, the terms, conditions or provisions of, any law, regulation, judgment, decree or order binding on or applicable to such Obligor or to which its property is subject or of any Material Agreement or any material lease, licence (including, without limitation, the Mining Licenses), permit or other instrument to which such Obligor is a party or is otherwise bound or by which such Obligor benefits or to which its property is subject, except if, in relation to a Material Agreement, within ninety (90) days of the occurrence of the relevant event, such Material Agreement has been replaced by a Replacement Material Agreement and (ii) do not require the consent or approval of any Official Body or any other party, other than any necessary consent or approval which has been obtained and remains in full force and effect.

(d) Financial Statements. The consolidated financial statements of the Borrower for the most recently completed Fiscal Quarter or Fiscal Year, as the case may be, were prepared in accordance with GAAP and no Material Adverse Change has occurred in the condition, financial or otherwise, of the Borrower since the date of such financial statements. The balance sheet of the aforesaid financial statement presents in all material respects a fair statement of the consolidated financial condition and assets and liability of the Borrower as at the date thereof and the statements of operations, retained earnings and cashflows contained in the aforesaid financial statements fairly present in all material respects the results of the consolidated operations of the Borrower throughout the period covered thereby. Except to the extent reflected or reserved against in the aforesaid balance sheet (including the notes thereto) and except as incurred in the ordinary and usual course of the consolidated business of the Borrower, the Borrower does not have, as of the date of such balance sheet, any outstanding Indebtedness or any liability or obligations (whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise) of a material nature required to be reflected or reserved against in a balance sheet (including the notes thereto) prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The last day of the Borrower's Fiscal Year is December 31 of each year.

1415-9758-8761.1

Credit Agreement – G Mining

(e) Litigation. Except as disclosed in Schedule Q(e), there are no actions, suits, inquiries, claims or proceedings (whether or not purportedly on behalf of any Subject Entity) pending or, to the Knowledge of the Borrower, threatened in writing against or affecting any Subject Entity before any Official Body which in any case or in the aggregate would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(f) Title to Assets. Each Subject Entity has good and marketable title to its material property, assets and undertaking, free from any Lien other than the Permitted Liens.

(g) Conduct of Business. No Subject Entity is in violation of any agreement, mortgage, franchise, licence, judgment, decree, order, statute, statutory trust, rule or regulation relating in any way to itself or to the operation of its business or to its property or assets and which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (except in the case of Anti-Corruption Laws which shall not be so qualified by a Material Adverse Effect). Each Subject Entity holds all licenses, certificates of approval, approvals, registrations, permits and consents which are required to operate its businesses where and as they are currently being operated except where the failure to have such licenses, certificates of approval, approvals, registrations, permits and consents would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(h) Outstanding Defaults. No Default or Event of Default exists or would result from the incurring of any Secured Obligations by any Obligor. No event has occurred which constitutes or which, with the giving of notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default under or in respect of (x) any Material Agreement, undertaking or instrument to which any Subject Entity is a party or to which its respective property or assets may be subject, and which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (y) any Mining Licenses other than any immaterial default which does not afford the grantor of any such Mining License the right to revoke such Mining License or impose materially more restrictive conditions thereon or as otherwise disclosed in Schedule Q(h).

(i) Solvency Proceedings. No Subject Entity has:

(i) admitted its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due or failed to pay its debts generally as they become due;

(t) any Security Document does not create legal, valid, binding and enforceable security over the assets charged under that Security Document or does not constitute a first ranking, priority security interest in the Secured Assets of each Obligor (subject to Permitted Liens), and such Security Document has not been replaced by a legal, valid, binding and enforceable document which is equivalent in effect to such Security Document, assuming such Security Document had originally been legal, valid, binding and enforceable, in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably, within 30 days of such determination, provided, however, that such grace period shall only be provided if such Obligor actively co-operates with the Administrative Agent to so replace such Security Document;
(u) a Material Adverse Change occurs; and/or
(v) the failure of any Obligor to make any payment or delivery due under any Prepaid Metals Transaction,

13.2 Remedies Cumulative

The Borrower expressly agrees that the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this agreement are cumulative and in addition to and not in substitution for any rights or remedies provided by law. Any single or partial exercise by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any right or remedy for a default or breach of any term, covenant or condition in this agreement does not waive, alter, affect or prejudice any other right or remedy to which the Administrative Agent or such Lender may be lawfully entitled for the same default or breach. Any waiver by the Administrative Agent with the approval of the Majority Lenders or all of the Lenders in accordance with Section 14.14 of the strict observance,

1415-9758-8761.1

Credit Agreement – G Mining

performance or compliance with any term, covenant or condition of this agreement is not a waiver of any subsequent default and any indulgence by the Lenders with respect to any failure to strictly observe, perform or comply with any term, covenant or condition of this agreement is not a waiver of the entire term, covenant or condition or any subsequent default. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude its further exercise or the exercise of any other power or right.

13.3 Set-Off

In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, the Administrative Agent and each Lender is authorized, at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing without notice to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower, to set-off, appropriate and apply, subject to Section 14.16, any and all deposits, matured or unmatured, general or special, and any other indebtedness at any time held by or owing by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, to or for the credit of or the account of the Borrower against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of the Borrower which are due and payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, under the Finance Documents.

(a) Each Finance Party hereby appoints and authorizes, and hereby agrees that it will require any assignee of any of its interests in the Finance Documents (other than the holder of a participation in its interests herein or therein) to appoint and authorize the Administrative Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Finance Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by such Finance Party by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable to any of the Finance Parties for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct and each Finance Party hereby acknowledges that the Administrative Agent is entering into the provisions of this Section 14.1 on its own behalf and as agent and trustee for its directors, officers, employees and agents.

(b) Furthermore, for the purposes of holding any Liens granted by any Obligor pursuant to the laws of the Province of Québec, the Finance Parties hereby acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be and act as the hypothecary representative of all present and future Finance Parties for all purposes of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec (the Administrative Agent, acting in such capacity is herein referred to as the "Hypothecary Representative"). By executing an instrument substantially in the form of Schedule C hereto, each future Lender shall be deemed to have acknowledged the appointment of the

1415-9758-8761.1

Credit Agreement – G Mining

105 -

Administrative Agent as hypothecary representative of all present and future Finance Parties. The Administrative Agent hereby confirms having accepted to act as hypothecary representative of all present and future Finance Parties for all purposes of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec. For greater certainty, the Hypothecary Representative shall have the same rights, powers, immunities, indemnities and exclusions from liability as are prescribed in favour of the Administrative Agent in this Agreement, which shall apply mutadis mutandis. In the event that a replacement Administrative Agent is appointed pursuant to the provisions of Section 14.12, such replacement Administrative Agent shall also be appointed as replacement Hypothecary Representative.

(c) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver the Komatsu Intercreditor Agreement for and on behalf of each of the Finance Parties. Each of the Lenders hereby agrees that it shall take any and all necessary or appropriate further actions as it might be required to take, by law or otherwise, to authorize the Administrative Agent to carry out the foregoing or to exercise its faculties and powers, and to comply with its obligations, under the Komatsu Intercreditor Agreement, directly or through its attorneys-in-fact or designees, including but not limited to the individualization of any required special power of attorney.

14.2 Interest Holders

The Administrative Agent may treat each Lender set forth in Schedule A hereto or the person designated in the last notice delivered to it under Section 15.5 as the holder of all of the interests of such Lender under the Credit Documents.

14.3 Consultation with Counsel

The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel selected by it as counsel for the Administrative Agent and the other Finance Parties and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken or suffered by it in good faith and in accordance with the advice and opinion of such counsel.

14.4 Documents

The Administrative Agent shall not be under any duty to the Finance Parties to examine, enquire into or pass upon the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of the Credit Documents or any instrument, document or communication furnished pursuant to or in connection with the Credit Documents and the Administrative Agent shall, as regards the Finance Parties, be entitled to assume that the same are valid, effective and genuine, have been signed or sent by the proper parties and are what they purport to be.

14.5 Administrative Agent as Finance Party

With respect to those portions of the Credit Facility made available by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under the Credit Documents as any other Finance Party and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent.

1415-9758-8761.1

Credit Agreement – G Mining

106 -

The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Obligors and their Affiliates and persons doing business with the Obligors and/or any of their Affiliates as if it were not the Administrative Agent and without any obligation to account to the Finance Parties therefor.

14.6 Responsibility of Administrative Agent

The duties and obligations of the Administrative Agent to the Finance Parties under the Credit Documents are only those expressly set forth herein. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to the Finance Parties to investigate whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred. The Administrative Agent shall, as regards the Finance Parties, be entitled to assume that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing unless the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge or has been notified by the Borrower of such fact or has been notified by a Finance Party that such Finance Party considers that a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such notification to specify in detail the nature thereof.

14.7 Action by Administrative Agent

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to use its discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any rights which may be vested in it on behalf of the Finance Parties by and under this agreement; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not exercise any rights under Section 13.1, the Guarantees, the Security Documents or the Komatsu Intercreditor Agreement or expressed to be on behalf of or with the approval of the Majority Lenders without the request, consent or instructions of the Majority Lenders. Furthermore, any rights of the Administrative Agent expressed to be on behalf of or with the approval of the Majority Lenders shall be exercised by the Administrative Agent upon the request or instructions of the Majority Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall incur no liability to the Finance Parties under or in respect of any of the Credit Documents with respect to anything which it may do or refrain from doing in the reasonable exercise of its judgment or which may seem to it to be necessary or desirable in the circumstances, except for its gross negligence or wilful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting under any of the Credit Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Majority Lenders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant to such instructions shall be binding on all Finance Parties. In respect of any notice by or action taken by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Borrower shall at no time be obliged to enquire as to the right or authority of the Administrative Agent to so notify or act.

14.8 Notice of Events of Default

In the event that the Administrative Agent shall acquire actual knowledge or shall have been notified of any Default or Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and shall take such action and assert such rights under Section 13.1 of this agreement and under the other Credit Documents as the Majority Lenders shall request in writing and the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any liability by reason of its acting pursuant to any such request. If the Majority Lenders shall fail for five Banking Days after receipt of the notice of any Default or Event of Default to request the Administrative Agent to take such action or to assert such rights under any of the Credit Documents in respect of such Default or Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, and subject to subsequent

1415-9758-8761.1

Credit Agreement – G Mining

specific instructions from the Majority Lenders, take such action or assert such rights (other than rights under Section 13.1 of this agreement or under the other Credit Documents and other than giving an express waiver of any Default or any Event of Default) as it deems in its discretion to be advisable for the protection of the Finance Parties except that, if the Majority Lenders have instructed the Administrative Agent not to take such action or assert such rights, in no event shall the Administrative Agent act contrary to such instructions unless required by law to do so.

14.9 Responsibility Disclaimed

The Administrative Agent shall be under no liability or responsibility whatsoever as agent hereunder:

(a) to the Borrower or any other Person as a consequence of any failure or delay in the performance by, or any breach by, any Finance Party or Finance Parties (other than the Administrative Agent) of any of its or their obligations under any of the Credit Documents;

(b) to any Finance Party or Finance Parties as a consequence of any failure or delay in performance by, or any breach by, any Obligor of any of their respective obligations under any of the Credit Documents; or

(c) to any Finance Party or Finance Parties for any statements, representations or warranties in any of the Credit Documents or in any other documents contemplated hereby or thereby or in any other information provided pursuant to any of the Credit Documents or any other documents contemplated hereby or thereby or for the validity, effectiveness, enforceability or sufficiency of any of the Credit Documents or any other document contemplated hereby or thereby.

14.10 Indemnification

The Finance Parties agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) pro rata in accordance with their relative Exposures from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of any of the Credit Documents or any other document contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under any of the Credit Documents or any document contemplated hereby or thereby, except that no Finance Party shall be liable to the Administrative Agent for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Administrative Agent.

14.11 Credit Decision

Each Lender represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent that:

1415-9758-8761.1

Credit Agreement – G Mining

108 -

(a) in making its decision to enter into this agreement and to make its Pro Rata Share of the Credit Facility available to the Borrower, it is independently taking whatever steps it considers necessary to evaluate the financial condition and affairs of the Subject Entities and that it has made an independent credit judgment without reliance upon any information furnished by the Administrative Agent; and

(b) so long as any portion of the Credit Facility is being utilized by the Borrower, it will continue to make its own independent evaluation of the financial condition and affairs of the Subject Entities.

14.12 Successor Administrative Agent

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, the Administrative Agent may, with the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be required for so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), resign at any time by giving 30 days written notice thereof to the Borrower and the Finance Parties. Upon any such resignation, the Majority Lenders, with the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be required (x) if the successor Administrative Agent is an Affiliate or Subsidiary of the Administrative Agent or of a Lender on the date hereof (provided that, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if the successor Administrative Agent to be appointed is an Affiliate or Subsidiary of a Lender on the date hereof, such appointment shall occur in consultation with the Borrower) or (y) for so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall be one of the Lenders unless none of the Lenders wishes to accept such appointment. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment by the time of such resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Finance Parties and with the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be required for so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank organized under the laws of Canada which has combined capital and reserves in excess of $250,000,000 and has an office in Toronto. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges, duties and obligations of the retiring Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent but not in its capacity as any other Finance Party) and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (in its capacity as Administrative Agent but not in its capacity as any other Finance Party). After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, provisions of this Article 14 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent.

14.13 Delegation by Administrative Agent

With the prior approval of the Majority Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to delegate any of its duties or obligations hereunder as Administrative Agent to any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent so long as the Administrative Agent shall not thereby be relieved of such duties or obligations.

14.14 Waivers and Amendments

(a) Subject to Section 14.14(b), any term, covenant or condition of any of the Credit Documents may only be amended with the prior consent of the Borrower and the Majority Lenders or compliance therewith may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) by the Majority Lenders and in any such event the failure to observe, perform or discharge any such covenant, condition or obligation, so amended or waived (whether such amendment is executed or such consent or waiver is given before or after such failure), shall not be construed as a breach of such covenant, condition or obligation or as a Default or Event of Default.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 14.14(a), without the prior written consent of each Lender, no such amendment, consent or waiver shall directly or indirectly:

(i) increase the amount of the Credit Limit or the amount of the Individual Commitment of any Lender (other than increases to the Credit Limit pursuant to Section 2.6 and increases to the amount of the Individual Commitment of any Lender pursuant to Sections 2.6, 8.3, 9.7(b), 14.14(d) or 15.5);

(ii) extend the Maturity Date (except in accordance with Section 9.7);

(iii) permit the Credit Facility to be used, directly or indirectly, to finance a hostile or unsolicited Acquisition;

(iv) extend the time for the payment of interest on Loans, forgive any portion of principal thereof, reduce the stated rate of interest thereon or amend the requirement of pro rata application of all amounts received by the Administrative Agent in respect thereof;

(v) change the percentage of the Lenders' requirement to constitute the Majority Lenders or otherwise amend the definition of Majority Lenders;

(vi) reduce the stated amount or postpone the date for payment of any fees or other amount to be paid pursuant to Article 7 or Article 8 of this agreement (other than in respect of any fees or other amount to be paid to, and for the sole and exclusive account of, respectively, (A) the Administrative Agent, or (B) one or more Lenders (but not all Lenders), the reduction of which, or the postponement of the date for payment of which, will require the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or each affected Lender, as applicable);

(vii) permit any subordination of any of the Secured Obligations;

(viii) except as otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 14.19, release or discharge a Guarantee or any Security Document, in whole or in part; or

1415-9758-8761.1

Credit Agreement – G Mining

(ix) alter the terms of this Section 14.14.

(c) The Borrower may at any time, by written request to the Administrative Agent (each, a “Unanimous Lender Request”), request an amendment or waiver that requires the prior written consent of each relevant Lender pursuant to Section 14.14(b). A copy of the Unanimous Lender Request shall be provided by the Administrative Agent to each of the relevant Lenders in accordance with Section 14.18. Each relevant Lender may in its sole discretion and provided there is any Default outstanding hereunder, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (the “Unanimous Lender Response Notice”), within 10 Banking Days of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the Unanimous Lender Request (the “Unanimous Lender Response Period”), approve or decline the Unanimous Lender Request. If any relevant Lender does not provide a Unanimous Lender Response Notice within the Unanimous Lender Response Period, such Lender shall be deemed to have declined the Unanimous Lender Request. If relevant Lenders with Individual Commitments that in the aggregate are greater than 30% of the aggregate Individual Commitments of all relevant Lenders do not approve the Unanimous Lender Request, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders that the Unanimous Lender Request has been declined.

(d) If relevant Lenders with Individual Commitments that in the aggregate are equal to or greater than 70% but less than 100% of the aggregate Individual Commitments of all relevant Lenders approve the Unanimous Lender Request within the Unanimous Lender Response Period (in this Section 14.14(d), the “Approving Lenders”), the following shall apply:

(i) On or before the second Banking Day after the Unanimous Lender Response Period, the Administrative Agent shall give written notice (in this Section 14.14(d), the “Acquisition Request Notice”) to the Borrower and each relevant Lender identifying the Approving Lenders and relevant Lender(s) that have declined or are deemed to have declined the Unanimous Lender Request (in this Section 14.14(d), the “Declining Lenders”) and their respective Individual Commitments.

(ii) Any Approving Lender may, at its option, acquire all or any portion of the rights and obligations of the Declining Lenders under the Credit Documents (in this Section 14.14(d), all of such rights and obligations being herein called the “Available Amount”) by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent (in this Section 14.14(d), an “Acquisition Notice”) of the portion of the Available Amount which it is prepared to acquire (in this Section 14.14(d), the “Desired Acquisition Amount”). Such Acquisition Notice shall be given within 10 days following the giving of the Acquisition Request Notice (in this Section 14.14(d), such deadline being herein called the “Acquisition Deadline”). If only one Approving Lender gives an Acquisition Notice to the Administrative Agent or if more than one Approving Lender gives an Acquisition Notice to the Administrative Agent but the aggregate of their Desired Acquisition Amounts is less than or equal

1415-9758-8761.1

Credit Agreement – G Mining

111 -

to the Available Amount, then each such Approving Lender shall be entitled to acquire its Desired Acquisition Amount of the rights and obligations of the Declining Lenders under the Credit Documents. If more than one Approving Lender gives an Acquisition Notice to the Administrative Agent and the aggregate of the Desired Acquisition Amounts is greater than the Available Amount, then each such Approving Lender shall be entitled to acquire a pro rata share of the rights and obligations of the Declining Lenders under the Credit Documents, such pro rata share being determined based on the relative Desired Acquisition Amount of each such Approving Lender. On or before the second Banking Day following the Acquisition Deadline, the Administrative Agent shall give to the Borrower and each relevant Lender a written notice identifying the Available Amount of each Declining Lender and the portion thereof to be acquired by each Approving Lender. Each of such acquisitions shall be completed on the date which is fifteen days following the Acquisition Deadline in accordance with the procedures set out in Section 15.5(d). If the Available Amount is not completely acquired by the Approving Lenders, the Borrower may locate other Persons (in this Section 14.14(d)(ii), “Substitute Lenders”) who are satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably, to acquire all or a portion of the balance of the rights and obligations of the Declining Lenders under the Credit Documents on the date which is fifteen days following the Acquisition Deadline in accordance with the procedures set out in Section 15.5(d). Any outstanding credit extended by the Declining Lenders to the Borrower which is not so acquired by Approving Lenders or Substitute Lenders shall be repaid, the Individual Commitments of the Declining Lenders not so acquired shall be cancelled on the date which is fifteen days following the Acquisition Deadline and the amount of the Credit Facility shall thereupon be reduced by the applicable Individual Commitments so cancelled. The Borrower shall comply with Section 8.4 in connection with any such prepayment. For certainty, upon the acquisition of the Available Amount by the Approving Lenders and/or the Substitute Lenders and, if applicable, repayment of outstanding credit extended by the Declining Lenders to the Borrower which is not so acquired, the Unanimous Lender Request shall be deemed to have been consented to by all of the Lenders.

(e) No amendment to or waiver of any provision hereof to the extent it affects the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent shall be effective without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that, without the consent of such Defaulting Lender, (i) the Individual Commitment of such Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended and (ii) the time for the payment of interest or fees on Accommodations shall not be extended, the principal thereof shall not be forgiven, the stated rate of interest or fees thereon shall not be reduced and the

1415-9758-8761.1

Credit Agreement – G Mining

requirement of pro rata application of all amounts received by the Administrative Agent in respect thereof shall not be amended.

14.15 Determination by Administrative Agent Conclusive and Binding

Any determination to be made by the Administrative Agent on behalf of or with the approval of the Lenders or the Majority Lenders under this agreement shall be made by the Administrative Agent in good faith and, if so made, shall be binding on all parties, absent manifest error. The Obligors are entitled to assume that any action taken by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any Credit Document has been appropriately authorized by the Lenders or the Majority Lenders, as the case may be, pursuant to the terms thereof.

14.16 Adjustments among Lenders after Acceleration

(a) The Lenders agree that, at any time after all indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lenders pursuant hereto has become immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 13.1 or after the cancellation or termination of the Credit Facility, they will at any time or from time to time upon the request of any Lender through the Administrative Agent purchase portions of the availments made available by the other Lenders which remain outstanding, and make any other adjustments which may be necessary or appropriate, in order that the amounts of the availments made available by the respective Lenders which remain outstanding, as adjusted pursuant to this Section 14.16, will be in the same proportions as their respective Pro Rata Shares thereof immediately prior to such acceleration, cancellation or termination.

(b) The Lenders agree that, at any time after all Indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lenders pursuant hereto has become immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 13.1 or after the cancellation or termination of the Credit Facility, the amount of any repayment made by the Borrower under this agreement, and the amount of any proceeds of the exercise of any rights or remedies of the Lenders under the Finance Documents, which are to be applied against amounts owing hereunder as principal, will be so applied in a manner such that to the extent possible, the availments made available by the Lenders which remain outstanding, after giving effect to such application, will be in the same proportions as their respective Pro Rata Shares thereof immediately prior to the cancellation of termination thereof immediately prior to such acceleration, cancellation or termination.

(c) For greater certainty, the Lenders acknowledge and agree that without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 14.16(a) and (b), such provisions will have application if and whenever any Finance Party shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, compensation, or otherwise), other than on account of any monies owing or payable by the Borrower to it under the Finance Documents in excess of its pro rata share of payments on account of monies owing by the Borrower to all the Finance Parties thereunder.

1415-9758-8761.1

Credit Agreement – G Mining

(d) The Borrower agrees to be bound by and to do all things necessary or appropriate to give effect to any and all purchases and other adjustments made by and between the Lenders pursuant to this Section 14.16.

14.17 Redistribution of Payment

If a Lender shall receive payment of a portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due to it hereunder which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due in respect of the Credit Facility (having regard to the respective Individual Commitments of the Lenders under the Credit Facility), the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase a participation (which shall be deemed to have been done simultaneously with receipt of such payment) in that portion of the aggregate outstanding credit of the other Lender or Lenders so that the respective receipts shall be pro rata to their respective participation in the credits; provided, however, that if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender shall be recovered from the Borrower, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price paid for such participation shall be returned by such selling Lender or Lenders to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

14.18 Distribution of Notices

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, promptly after receipt by the Administrative Agent of any notice or other document which is delivered to the Administrative Agent hereunder on behalf of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall provide a copy of such notice or other document to each of the Lenders; provided, however, that a copy of any such notice delivered at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default shall be delivered by the Administrative Agent to each of the Finance Parties.

14.19 Release of Guarantees and Discharge of Security

To the extent:

(a) a sale or other disposition of the Secured Assets is permitted pursuant to the provisions thereof; or
(b) a Subsidiary has ceased to constitute a Material Subsidiary and the Borrower has requested in writing that the relevant Material Subsidiary be released from its Guarantee and Security Documents.

the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent will, at the cost and expense of the Borrower, execute such releases, discharges and other instruments which are necessary for the purposes of:

(i) releasing and discharging the Security over the Secured Assets referred to in clause (a) above and, in the case of a permitted disposition of Secured Assets constituting the Shares of any Subsidiary, releasing such Subsidiary from its obligations under each Guarantee and Security Document to which such Subsidiary is party and returning any share certificates representing the Shares of such Subsidiary;

1415-9758-8761.1

Credit Agreement – G Mining

(ii) upon the written certification of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent that such Subsidiary has ceased to qualify as a Material Subsidiary, releasing and discharging each Subsidiary referred to in clause (b) above from its obligations under each Guarantee and Security Document to which such Subsidiary is party and returning any share certificates representing the Shares of such Subsidiary;

and for the purposes of recording the provisions or effect thereof in any office where the applicable Security Documents may be registered or recorded and for the purposes of more fully and effectively carrying out the provisions of this Section 14.19.

14.20 Determination of Exposures

Prior to any distribution of Cash Proceeds of Realization to the Finance Parties, the Administrative Agent shall request each Finance Party to provide to the Administrative Agent a written calculation of such Finance Party's Exposure, each such calculation to be certified true and correct by the Finance Party providing same. Each Finance Party shall so provide such calculation within two Banking Days following the request of the Administrative Agent. Any such calculation provided by a particular Finance Party shall, absent manifest error, constitute prima facie evidence of such Finance Party's Exposure at such time. With respect to each determination of the Exposure of the Finance Parties, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Finance Parties. For the purposes of determining a particular Finance Party's Exposure as of a particular date:

(a) the Exposure of a Finance Party under any Credit Document shall be the aggregate amount (expressed in United States dollars) owing to such Finance Party thereunder on such date;

(b) the Exposure of a Qualified Risk Management Lender in respect of Secured Risk Management Agreements shall be measured as the net exposure of such Qualified Risk Management Lender under all Secured Risk Management Agreements with the Obligors to which such Qualified Risk Management Lender is a party, being the aggregate exposure of such Qualified Risk Management Lender thereunder less the aggregate exposure of the relevant Obligor thereunder; the exposure of a party to a Secured Risk Management Agreement shall be, in the case of a Secured Risk Management Agreement which has not been terminated as of such date, the total amount which such party would be obligated to pay to the other party under such Secured Risk Management Agreement in the event of the early termination as of such date of such Secured Risk Management Agreement as a result of the occurrence of a default, event of default or termination event (however specified or designated) with respect to such party thereunder or, in the case of a Secured Risk Management Agreement which has been terminated as of such date, the total amount which such party is obligated to pay to the other party under such Secured Risk Management Agreement, in each case expressed in United States dollars;

(c) the Exposure of a Finance Party in respect of Cash Management Agreements shall be the aggregate amount (expressed in United States dollars) which would

1415-9758-8761.1

Credit Agreement – G Mining

be owing by the Obligors thereunder on such date if such agreements were terminated on such date; and

(d) any amount of Secured Obligations of the Borrower denominated in any currency other than United States dollars shall be expressed as the U.S. Dollar Equivalent thereof.

14.21 Decision to Enforce Security

Upon the Security becoming enforceable in accordance with its terms and Article 13, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify each of the Finance Parties. Any Lender may thereafter provide the Administrative Agent with a written request to enforce the Security. Forthwith after the receipt of such a request, the Administrative Agent shall seek the instructions of the Majority Lenders as to whether the Security should be enforced and the manner in which such Security should be enforced. In seeking such instructions, the Administrative Agent shall submit a specific proposal to the Lenders (prior to the Credit Facility Termination Date) or Finance Parties (following the Credit Facility Termination Date). After receipt of notice that the Security has become enforceable in accordance with this Section 14.21, any Lender or Finance Party, as applicable, may submit a proposal to the Administrative Agent as to the manner in which the Security should be enforced and the Administrative Agent shall submit any such proposal to the Lenders or Finance Parties, as applicable, for approval of the Majority Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders or Finance Parties, as applicable, of all instructions and approvals of the Majority Lenders.

14.25 Erroneous Payments

(a) If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender or Finance Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Finance Party (any such Lender, Finance Party or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under Section 14.25(b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Finance Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such

Lender or Finance Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Banking Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of (x) the Federal Funds Effective Rate (provided, for the purpose of this Section 14.25, if at the relevant time the Federal Funds Effective Rate is less than zero, the Federal Funds Effective Rate at such time shall be deemed to be equal to zero) and (y) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this Section 14.25(a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Without limiting Section 14.25(a), each Lender or Finance Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Finance Party, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender or Finance Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:

(i) (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii) such Lender or Finance Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Banking Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 14.25(b).

(c) Each Lender or Finance Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Finance Party under any Credit Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or Finance Party from any source,

1415-9758-8761.1

Credit Agreement – G Mining

against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under Section 14.25(a) or under the indemnification provisions of this agreement.

(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 14.25(a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Individual Commitment) of the relevant type(s) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Individual Commitment) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an instrument substantially in the form of Schedule C (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an instrument substantially in the form of Schedule C by reference pursuant to an electronic platform such as SyndTrak or IntraLinks as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this agreement and its applicable Individual Commitment which shall survive as to such assigning Lender and (iv) the Administrative Agent may reflect in the accounts referenced in Section 3.7 its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. Subject to Section 15.5, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Individual Commitment of any Lender and such Individual Commitment shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof)

1415-9758-8761.1

Credit Agreement – G Mining

acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender or Finance Party under the Credit Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency.

(e) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Secured Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Obligor, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from (i) the Borrower or any other Obligor or (ii) the proceeds of realization from the enforcement of one or more of the Credit Documents against or in respect of one or more of the Obligors.

(f) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on "discharge for value" or any similar doctrine.

(g) Each party's obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 14.25 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender the termination of the Individual Commitment and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Secured Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Credit Document.

Credit Agreement – G Mining

121 -

(b) A Lender may at any time sell to one or more other persons (“Participants”) participating interests in any credit outstanding hereunder, any commitment of such Lender hereunder or any other interest of such Lender hereunder. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this agreement to the Borrower shall remain unchanged and such Lender shall remain solely entitled to enforce its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such Lender’s obligations under this agreement and the Borrower shall continue to be obligated to such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights under this agreement. The Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared to be or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, or any Default which might mature into an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as the relevant Lender under this agreement. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Article 8 with respect to its participation hereunder and for the purposes of Article 8 such Participant shall be deemed to be a Lender to the extent of such participation, provided, that such Participant shall have complied with obligations of a Lender provided in Article 8 and that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to such Article than the relevant Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by the relevant Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred.

(c) With the prior written consent of, (x) the Borrower (which consent (i) shall not be unreasonably withheld if such sale is to one or more other Lenders or to an Affiliate of any Lender, unless such sale results in an increased cost to the Borrower, including any liability under Article 8 and (ii) shall not be required in circumstances where an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and (y) the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld if such sale is to an Affiliate of any Lender in circumstances where an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), a Lender may at any time sell all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Credit Documents to one or more Persons (“Purchasing Lenders”). Upon such sale, the Lender shall, to the extent of such sale, be released from its obligations under the Credit Documents and each of the Purchasing Lenders shall become a party to the Credit Documents to the extent of the interest so purchased provided, however, no Lender that is a Defaulting Lender shall be released from any obligation in respect of any damages arising in connection with it being or becoming a Defaulting Lender. Any such assignment shall be for Individual Commitments of an amount equal to or no less than $10,000,000 and the entirety of the assigning Lender’s Individual Commitments under the Credit Facility and, following such assignment, the assigning Lender shall either retain an Individual Commitment of $10,000,000 under the Credit Facility or have assigned the entirety of its Individual Commitments. Any such assignment by

1415-9758-8761.1

Credit Agreement – G Mining

122 -

a Lender shall not be effective unless and until such Lender has paid to the Administrative Agent an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500 for each Purchasing Lender, unless and until the Purchasing Lender has executed an instrument substantially in the form of Schedule C hereto whereby the Purchasing Lender has agreed to be bound by the terms of the Credit Documents as a Lender and has agreed to a specific Individual Commitment with respect to the Credit Facility and a specific address and email address for the purpose of notices as provided in Section 15.1 and unless and until the requisite consents to such assignment have been obtained, unless and until a copy of a fully executed copy of such instrument has been delivered to each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Upon any such assignment becoming effective, Schedule A hereto shall be deemed to be amended to include the Purchasing Lender as a Lender with the specific Individual Commitment and Credit Facility, address and email address as aforesaid and the Individual Commitment of the Lender making such assignment under the Credit Facility shall be deemed to be reduced by the amount of the Individual Commitment of the Purchasing Lender with respect to the Credit Facility.

(d) The Borrower authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to disclose to any Participant or Purchasing Lender (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee or any professional advisor of any Transferee or prospective Transferee and authorizes each of the Lenders to disclose to any other Lender any and all financial information in their possession concerning the Subject Entities which has been delivered to them by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to this agreement or which has been delivered to them by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection with their credit evaluation of the Subject Entities prior to becoming a party to this agreement, so long as any such Transferee agrees not to disclose any confidential, non-public information to any person other than its non-brokerage affiliates, employees, accountants or legal counsel on a need-to-know basis, unless required by law.

15.6 Entire Agreement

This agreement and the agreements referred to herein and delivered pursuant hereto (including, without limitation, the Fee Letters) constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto and supersede any prior agreements, undertakings, declarations, representations and understandings, both written and verbal, in respect of the subject matter thereof.

15.8 Judgment Currency

(a) If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against the Borrower in any court in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into a particular currency (such currency being hereinafter in this Section 15.8 referred to as the "Judgment Currency") an amount due in another currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Section 15.8 referred to as the "Indebtedness Currency") under this agreement, the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Banking Day immediately preceding:

(i) the date of actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of a jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date; or
(ii) the date on which the judgment is given, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this Section 15.8(a)(ii) being hereinafter in this Section 15.8 referred to as the "Judgment Conversion Date").

(b) If, in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in Section 15.8(a)(ii), there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Borrower shall pay to the appropriate judgment creditor or creditors such additional amount (if any, but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Indebtedness Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date.
(c) Any amount due from the Borrower under the provisions of Section 15.8(b) shall be due to the appropriate judgment creditor or creditors as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of this agreement.
(d) The term "rate of exchange" in this Section 15.8 means the noon spot rate of exchange for Canadian interbank transactions applied in converting the Indebtedness Currency into the Judgment Currency published by the Bank of Canada for the day in question.
