2.1.Calculation

 

Commencing as of the date that the Concessions start producting Products, the Payor agrees to pay the Royalty to the Royalty Holder on a quarterly basis. The Royalty payable to the Royalty Holder hereunder in respect of each calendar quarter, shall be calculated by multiplying the Net Smelter Return for such calendar quarter by the Royalty Percentage.

 

2.2.Payments

 

(a)The amount of the Royalty payment due to the Royalty Holder hereunder in respect of a calendar quarter shall be paid to the Royalty Holder on the Payment Date by the delivery to the Royalty Holder of electronic wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account nominated by the Royalty Holder from time to time, in each case in the appropriate amount. All such payments shall be made in US Dollars. All payments made in respect of this Agreement (in respect of principal, interest or otherwise) shall be made in full without set-off or counterclaim, and free of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, other than Excluded Taxes. If the Payor shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes, other than Excluded Taxes, from or in respect of any payment or sum payable to the Royalty Holder, the delivery, payment or sum deliverable or payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings, the Royalty Holder receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received if no deduction or withholding had been made and the Payor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation or other authority in accordance with Applicable Law. If the Royalty Holder becomes liable for any Tax, other than Excluded Taxes, imposed on any deliveries or payments under this Agreement, the Payor shall indemnify the Royalty Holder for such Tax, and the indemnity payment shall be increased as necessary so that after the imposition of any Tax on the indemnity payment (including Tax in respect of any such increase in the indemnity payment), the Royalty Holder shall receive the full amount of Taxes for which it is liable, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.

The Royalty Holder acknowledges that the Payor and its Affiliates engaging in Trading Activities may result in the Payor and its Affiliates realizing, from time to time, greater or lesser profit for the Products than does the Royalty Holder.

(a)It shall be a condition of such Subsidiary Disposition that: (i) the Guarantor Local Branch owned by the applicable Guarantor Company remains owned by the Guarantor Company; and (ii) the transferee or other counterparty to such transaction (in each case, the “Subsidiary Transferee”) first executes and delivers to the Royalty Holder together with the applicable Guarantor Local Branch and the Guarantor Local Company a Deed of Assumption pursuant to which the Subsidiary Transferee and the applicable Guarantor Local Branch agrees to be bound (and remain bound, as the case may be) by the terms of this Agreement with respect to the applicable Concessions held by the Guarantor Local Branch in the same manner and to the same extent as though the Subsidiary Transferee was an original party hereto with respect to the applicable Concessions.

(e)if the Guarantor Local Branch Transferee is the Parent Company at the top of its corporate chain, then the Guarantor Local Branch Transferee shall also agree to be the Payor under this Agreement and under the Mining Pledge and the Economic Rights Pledge with respect to the applicable Concessions in the Deed of Assumption in the place and stead of the Payor with respect to the applicable Concessions;

 

19

 

 

(f)if the Guarantor Local Branch Transferee is not the Parent Company, then the Payor hereunder shall also be a transferor and Parent Company of the Guarantor Local Branch Transferee shall also execute and deliver the Deed of Assumption whereby such Parent Company of the Guarantor Local Branch Transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and the Mining Pledge and the Economic Rights Pledge with respect to the applicable Concessions and by all of the liabilities and obligations of the Payor transferor hereunder with respect to the applicable Concessions in the same manner and to the same extent as if the Parent Company of the Guarantor Local Branch was an original party hereto;

 

(g)any such Guarantor Local Branch Disposition shall not relieve or discharge the Payor from any of its liabilities or obligations hereunder with respect to the applicable Concessions held by the applicable Guarantor Local Branch that might be existing at the time of closing of such Guarantor Local Branch Disposition, and the Royalty Holder may continue to look to the Payor for the performance thereof with respect to the applicable Concessions; and

Furthermore, the Guarantors declare that the Collateral includes each and all of the Products that they have or may come to have at any time and undertake to take all measures deemed necessary to ensure that at all times the Collateral is made up of 100% of the Products owned by it.

CLAUSE II.
PURPOSE

 

Section 2.01. Purpose

 

Pursuant to the terms stipulated herein and in accordance with Law 1676, the Guarantors grant in favor and for the benefit of the Secured Party, a non possessory first-ranking security interest over any and all Economic Rights, present and future, contained in, that arise from or may arise from, any and all Purchase Agreements (the “Collateral” or the “Pledged Assets”)).

 

The purpose of the pledge granted under this Agreement is to serve as a guaranty, and the Collateral to serve as security in favour of and for the benefit of the Secured Party in relation to the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations by the Payor and the Guarantors, when due under the Royalty Agreement. Furthermore, the Guarantors declare that the Collateral includes each and all of the Economic Rights they have or may come to have at any time and undertake to take all measures deemed necessary to ensure that at all times the Collateral is made up of 100% of the Economic Rights owned by it. To such extent, the Economic Rights it owns or has the right to in the present or in the future, as a result of any event or act related to the Royalty and to the sale, disposition or other transfer of the Products, shall be covered by this Agreement and shall constitute the Collateral hereunder.

 

The granting of this security over the Collateral does not limit the Secured Party to enforce or foreclose on any other security available that is granted in favor of the Secured Party, nor to exercise any other actions to enforce the Secured Obligations. The Collateral shall remain in effect as long as the Secured Obligations exist, even if they are extended, modified, restructured, or novated, and shall cover the obligation arising from such extension, modification, restructuring or novation.

 

The Secured party automatically and without any prior consent from the Guarantors shall have the right to register the pledge over the Collateral in the Registry of Security over Movable Assets or any other registration to be made under this Agreement, for the purpose of preserving the rights in favour of the Secured Party and the protection of the Secured Obligations.

 

Section 2 02. Determination of any Undetermined Pledged Assets

 

The Guarantors shall promptly notify the Secured Party whenever they enter into a Purchase Agreement. To do so, the relevant Guarantor shall send a notification to the Secured Party, with a copy to all other Parties of this Agreement, notifying it of such Purchase Agreement and attaching an updated copy of Exhibit [A] where it includes the main terms of such Purchase Agreement.

 

The Parties agree that whenever a Guarantor enters into a Purchase Agreement, Exhibit A of this Agreement shall be automatically modified to include such Purchase Agreements.

 

6

 

 

The Parties accept, understand and acknowledge that whenever a Guarantor enters into any Purchase Agreement, the security interest created herein shall be created automatically over the Pledged Assets contained or associated with such Purchase Agreement. Any failure by a Guarantor to notify and/or update Exhibit [A] of this Agreement, shall not affect the creation of such security interest or the fact that the Economic Rights derived thereunder will be considered as Collateral and will have an automatic security interest over them created in favor of the Secured Party.
