			(A)        Wheaton shall, within five Business Days following the end of such third month, pay in cash the applicable Gold Market Price or Palladium Market Price in respect of such excess ounces delivered, calculated as of the day immediately prior to the Time of Delivery of such excess ounces, to the extent not already paid in cash pursuant to Section 2.4(a) or 2.4(b), as applicable; and
		

		
			(B)        there shall be added to the uncredited balance of the Advance Payment any amount that was credited against the Advance Payment in partial payment of the Gold Purchase Price or Palladium Purchase Price in respect of such excess ounces delivered pursuant to Section 2.4(a)(i) or 2.4(b)(i), as applicable.
		

		
			(b)         If Payable Gold or Payable Palladium required to be sold and delivered to Wheaton by Supplier pursuant to 2.2(a) contains a fraction of an ounce to be sold and delivered then such fraction of an ounce of Payable Gold or Payable Palladium, as applicable, shall be added to the next required delivery of Payable Gold or Payable Palladium, as applicable.
		

		
			(c)         The obligations of the Parties set out in Sections 2.1(a) and 2.2(a) are conditional upon the satisfaction and fulfilment of the conditions set forth in Section 3.2(a) (or the waiver thereof by Wheaton) and Section 3.3(a) (or the waiver thereof by Supplier) on or before the Closing Date, as applicable.  Any Refined Gold and Refined Palladium that would have been sold and delivered by Supplier to Wheaton under Sections 2.1(a) and 2.2(a) in respect of Offtaker Deliveries made between the Effective Date and the Closing Date had such conditions been satisfied as of the Effective Date, shall be sold and delivered to Wheaton within five Business Days after the Closing Date.
		

		
			(d)         Supplier shall sell and deliver to Wheaton all Refined Gold and Refined Palladium to be sold and delivered under this Agreement by way of credit to the unallocated metal account of Wheaton located in the United Kingdom or such other location(s) in North America or Europe as may be designated by Wheaton from time to time and acceptable to Supplier, acting reasonably.  Delivery of Refined Gold and Refined Palladium to Wheaton shall be deemed to have been made at the time such Refined Gold or Refined Palladium is credited to the designated unallocated metal account of Wheaton (the “Time of Delivery”). Title to, and risk of loss of, such Refined Gold and Refined Palladium shall pass from Supplier to Wheaton at the Time of Delivery.  All costs and expenses

			(i)    it is the legal and beneficial owner of the Refined Gold and Refined Palladium delivered and credited to the designated metal account of Wheaton pursuant to this Agreement;
		

		
			(ii)   it has good, valid and marketable title to such Refined Gold and Refined Palladium; and
		

		
			(iii)  such Refined Gold and Refined Palladium, is free and clear of all Encumbrances.
		

		
			(f)         In the event Supplier is required to sell and deliver to Wheaton Refined Gold or Refined Palladium pursuant to Section 2.1 and Section 2.2 at a time when the final determination of Payable Gold or Payable Palladium to which an Offtaker Payment relates has not yet been made (including as a result of a Commingling Plan determination or calculation that is not yet final), Supplier shall deliver such Refined Gold and/or Refined Palladium based on its best estimate of the Payable Gold and/or Payable Palladium to which such Offtaker Payment relates and the Parties shall subsequently true up such amount in the next required deliveries of Refined Gold and/or Refined Palladium by Supplier to Wheaton under this Agreement, by means of an additional delivery or set off of Refined Gold and/or Refined Palladium, as the case may be, once such final determination has been made.
		

		
			2.3        Invoicing
		

		
			(a)         Supplier shall notify Wheaton in writing at least five Business Days before any delivery and credit to the designated metal account of Wheaton of:
		

		
			(i)    the number of ounces of Refined Gold and Refined Palladium to be delivered and credited; and

			2.4        Purchase Price
		

		
			(a)         Wheaton shall pay to Supplier a purchase price for each ounce of Refined Gold sold and delivered by Supplier to Wheaton under this Agreement (the “Gold Purchase Price”) equal to:
		

		
			(i)    on or prior to the Advance Payment Reduction Date, the Gold Market Price calculated as of the day immediately prior to the Time of Delivery; provided that an amount equal to the Gold Production Payment will be payable in cash and the difference between such Gold Market Price and the Gold Production Payment shall be payable by crediting such amount against the Advance Payment in order to reduce the uncredited balance of the Advance Payment until the uncredited balance of the Advance Payment has been credited and reduced to nil; and
		

		
			(ii)   following the Advance Payment Reduction Date, the Gold Production Payment calculated as of the day immediately prior to the Time of Delivery, payable in cash.

			2.6        Loss of Offtaker Delivery and Application of Insurance Proceeds
		

		
			In the event of any total or partial loss of any Produced Gold or Produced Palladium including by way of loss, accident, theft or otherwise prior to the transfer of risk of loss of any such Produced Gold or Produced Palladium to an Offtaker that gives rise to a payment of insurance proceeds, (i) such payment, shall be allocated between such Supplier Group Entity and Wheaton in proportion to their respective interests therein, and (ii) the portion of such payment allocated to Wheaton shall be used to purchase Refined Gold and/or Refined Palladium for sale and delivery by Supplier to Wheaton, in the following manner:
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			33

		





 



		

			 

		





		

		
			(a)         the payment in respect of insurance proceeds shall be allocated between Produced Gold, Produced Palladium and other metals or minerals in proportion to the relative values ascribed to the Produced Gold, Produced Palladium and other metals and minerals in such shipment by the insurance payor;

			(a)         Supplier shall cause the Project Owner to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the construction and development of the Blitz Project to proceed in all material respects in accordance with the Blitz Development Plan. Supplier shall promptly notify Wheaton in writing of any material amendment or proposed material amendment to, or any material departure or proposed material departure from, the Blitz Development Plan.  Until Completion (or, if Completion is not achieved, until the Outside Completion Date), Supplier shall provide Wheaton with bi-annual progress reports not later than the twenty-first (21st) day following the end of each calendar half year, each such progress report setting out an update on the progress of the Blitz Project, including: (A) the amount of actual costs incurred (i) during such calendar half year and (ii) cumulatively from January 1, 2018 to the end of such calendar half year, and (B) the amount of costs estimated to be incurred compared to the Blitz Development Plan; in each case in respect of each of the Blitz Underground Development, the Blitz Surface Development and the Stillwater Concentrator Upgrade.

			4.2        Completion Targets
		

		
			(a)         Supplier shall cause the Project Owner to notify Wheaton in writing promptly:
		

		
			(i)    following the achievement of completion of items (i) through (iii) of the definition of “Blitz Underground Development” on or prior to [***], and completion of item (iv) of the definition of “Blitz Underground Development” on or prior to [***] (collectively, “Completion Target No. 1”);
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			37

		





 



		

			 

		





		

		
			(ii)   following the achievement of completion of the Blitz Surface Development on or prior to [***] (“Completion Target No. 2”); and
		

		
			(iii)  as soon as practical, and in any event at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the commencement of any test undertaken to determine completion of the Stillwater Concentrator Upgrade, as to be evidenced by the processing of an average of not less than [***] per day through the concentrator at the Stillwater Mill for a period of forty-five (45) consecutive days to be conducted prior to [***] (“Completion Target No. 3”), where [***] will be monitored for the purpose of determining whether Completion Target No. 3 has been achieved.  [***].  Wheaton shall be entitled to have representatives present during such test in accordance with Section 6.4. Supplier shall cause the Project Owner to notify Wheaton in writing promptly following the achievement of Completion Target No. 3.
		

		
			(b)         Concurrently with any notice given to Wheaton of the achievement of any Completion Target pursuant to Section 4.2(a), and in any event within ten (10) Business Days following the achievement of any Completion Target, Supplier shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Wheaton a certificate signed by a director or senior officer of the Project Owner (a “Completion Certificate”) certifying: (i) that such Completion Target has been achieved; (ii) in the case of Completion Target No. 3, [***]; and (iii) copies or extracts from the Books and Records supporting the achievement of such Completion Target. Such Completion Target shall be deemed to have been achieved on the date of the relevant Completion Certificate unless Wheaton delivers to Supplier within thirty (30) days of its receipt of such Completion Certificate a written notice that it has reasonable grounds for believing such Completion Target has not been achieved, in which case the matter will be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.9.
		

		
			(c)         If Completion Target No. 3 is not achieved [***], Supplier shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Wheaton a certificate signed by a director or senior officer of the Project Owner certifying: (i) that Completion Target No. 3 was not achieved [***]; (ii) [***]; and (iii) copies or extracts from the Books and Records supporting the non-achievement of Completion Target No. 3 [***].
		

		
			4.3        Failure to Achieve Completion
		

		
			(a)         In the event that any Completion Target is not achieved on or prior to the relevant date for achievement thereof provided for in Section 4.2(a), then Supplier shall pay to Wheaton, in cash, the amount, if any, determined pursuant to the following formula (the “Value Adjustment”):
		

		
			
		

		
			where:
		

		
			Oz2E = aggregate ounces of palladium and platinum contained in concentrate produced by the Stillwater Mill from Minerals mined, produced, extracted or otherwise recovered or derived from the Blitz Properties during the Completion Period, measured in ounces (subject to a maximum of 300,000 ounces); and
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			38

		





 



		

			 

		





		

		
			OzAu = aggregate ounces of gold that is equivalent to the number of ounces of palladium and platinum contained in Oz2E multiplied by 0.0153 (or such other ratio as may be agreed between the Parties, using actual mining data derived from the date of this Agreement to May 1, 2022), measured in ounces (subject to a maximum of 5,000 ounces);
		

		
			provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if both (i) Oz2E exceeds 270,000 ounces, and (ii) OzAu exceeds 4,500 ounces, then Completion will be deemed to have been achieved and no Value Adjustment will be payable. For purposes of the foregoing formula, production from the Stillwater Mill will be measured over the nineteen (19) month period from June 1, 2022 through December 31, 2023, and the period of six (6) consecutive calendar months in which palladium and platinum contained in concentrate produced by the Stillwater Mill from Minerals mined, produced, extracted or otherwise recovered or derived from the Blitz Properties was the highest during such nineteen (19) month period, annualized as if such level of production were maintained over twelve (12) months, will be deemed to constitute the “Completion Period”.  Supplier shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Wheaton a certificate signed by a director or senior officer of the Project Owner certifying: (i) the six month period constituting the Completion Period; (ii) the production of palladium and platinum contained in concentrate produced by the Stillwater Mill from Minerals mined, produced, extracted or otherwise recovered or derived from the Blitz Properties during each month of such six month period; (ii) the Value Adjustment calculation; and (iii) copies or extracts from the Books and Records supporting such production and calculation.
		

		
			(b)         The Value Adjustment shall be paid by Supplier as follows:
		

		
			(i)    if either Completion Target No. 2 has not been achieved on or prior to [***], or Completion Target No. 3 has not been achieved on or prior to [***], Supplier shall pay the Value Adjustment not later than February 15, 2024; or
		

		
			(ii)   if both Completion Target No. 2 and Completion Target No. 3 are achieved, but Completion Target No. 1 is not achieved, Supplier shall pay the Value Adjustment not later than February 15, 2025.
		

		
			(c)         The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that: (i) it would be impracticable and extremely difficult to fix the actual damages to Wheaton resulting in connection with or relating to future periods as a result of the non-achievement of any Completion Target; (ii) the Value Adjustment is in the nature of liquidated damages, is not a penalty, and is fair and reasonable; and (iii) the Value Adjustment represents a reasonable estimate of fair compensation for the diminution in the value of Wheaton’s benefit under this Agreement resulting from the non-achievement of any such Completion Target in connection with or relating to such future periods.

			the operation of the Mining Properties are based on gold and palladium prices typical of normal industry practice and on the assumption that the Project Owner is receiving payment for all gold and palladium produced at the Mining Properties at market prices (and not, with respect to Payable Gold and Payable Palladium, the Gold Purchase Price or Palladium Purchase Price), without regard to the financial impact of this Agreement. Supplier shall cause the Project Owner and each of its applicable Affiliates to, continue to observe all practices and procedures in use as of the date of this Agreement, or such other procedures as may be adopted by the Project Owner in accordance with good processing, engineering and environmental practices prevailing in the mining industry, for the processing of gold from the Mining Properties through the Mineral Processing Facilities.
		

		
			(b)         Without limiting the generality of Section 7.1(a), the Project Owner shall be permitted to amend the LOM Plan at any time and from time to time in its sole discretion, provided that it is acting in a commercially prudent manner and consistent with accepted mining practice.  For the avoidance of doubt, subject to Section 7.1(a), nothing in this Agreement shall restrict or prevent the Project Owner from placing the Mine, or any portion thereof, on care and maintenance or from ceasing or suspending operations at any time and from time to time when the Project Owner determines that it is reasonable or fiscally prudent to do so (without regard to the financial impact of this Agreement).

			(b)         Supplier shall cause the Project Owner to not process Other Minerals through the Mineral Processing Facilities in priority to or in place of, or commingle Other Minerals with, any Minerals unless Supplier and Wheaton shall have agreed on a method, formula or plan satisfactory to both of them, acting reasonably, with respect to the division of gold and palladium from other properties or sources and gold and palladium from the Mining Properties for purposes of determining the quantum of Payable Gold and Payable Palladium and such other matters related or incidental thereto (including any particular Books and Records to be maintained and any specific compensation for Losses resulting from such processing of Other Minerals) (a “Commingling Plan”). The initial Commingling Plan, to which the Parties hereby confirm their agreement, is attached as Schedule H to this Agreement.
		

		
			(c)         In addition to and without limiting Section 7.2(b):
		

		
			(i)    Supplier shall, and shall cause the Project Owner to, adopt and employ reasonable practices and procedures for weighing, determining moisture content, sampling and assaying and determining recovery factors, to ensure the division of gold and palladium from Minerals from gold and palladium from Other Minerals for the purposes of determining the quantum of Produced Gold and Produced Palladium (which practices and procedures shall be in accordance with sound mining, processing, engineering and environmental practices prevailing in the mining industry and shall be at least as good as the practices and procedures adopted for the primary metal in the applicable product being produced);
		

		
			(ii)   Supplier shall, and shall cause the Project Owner to, keep appropriate Books and Records in this regard, which shall be subject to audit, review and other

			(iii)  in no event shall any such practices or procedures referred to in Section 7.2(c)(i) adopted and employed by Supplier or the Project Owner for purposes of this Agreement result in less Produced Gold or Produced Palladium than is determined by the practices and procedures adopted and employed by any Supplier Group Entity for its own and for any other determination of gold and palladium content in such Minerals; and
		

		
			(iv)  Supplier shall consult with Wheaton and act in a commercially reasonable manner to modify such practices and procedures referred to in Section 7.2(c)(i) adopted and employed by Supplier or the Project Owner for purposes of this Agreement (including those set out in a Commingling Plan), if Wheaton determines, acting reasonably, that there is a more accurate, objective or formulaic methodology or procedure, or if any of such practices or procedures results in inaccuracy, bias or a unreasonable degree of variability, in the determination of gold and palladium from Minerals versus gold and palladium from Other Minerals.

			(c)         keep the Approvals necessary to operate the Mine in all material respects in good standing and continue to have all rights and benefits thereunder.
		

		
			7.11      Wheaton Right of First Refusal
		

		
			(a)         If any Supplier Group Entity (the “Vendor”) receives a definitive offer from a third party that would be binding upon acceptance by the Vendor, to purchase a ROFR Interest (a “Third Party Offer”), and the Vendor is willing to accept that Third Party Offer, then Supplier shall cause the Vendor, by notice in writing delivered to Wheaton, to offer to sell all, but not less than all, of the ROFR Interest so sought to be purchased by the third party under the Third Party Offer to Wheaton at the same price and otherwise upon the same terms and conditions as are contained in the Third Party Offer, and to provide to Wheaton the best available information that any Supplier Group Entity has in its possession or within its control with respect to the ROFR Interest (including any information provided to the third party) (the “ROFR Offer”); provided that, if the Third
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			51

		





 



		

			 

		





		

		
			Party Offer includes non-cash consideration that is personal to the third party (including shares of the third party), then Wheaton shall be entitled to replace such non-cash consideration with cash or non-cash consideration that is personal to Wheaton (including shares of WPM) with the same or greater value, liquidity and marketability as the third party’s non-cash consideration; and further provided that, if the Third Party Offer includes or is conditional upon the purchase of any asset other than a ROFR Interest from Vendor, then the ROFR Offer shall similarly include such other assets.
		

		
			(b)         Wheaton may, within thirty (30) days from the date of delivery of the ROFR Offer, accept the ROFR Offer by notice in writing delivered to the Vendor, in which event it shall then become a binding agreement of purchase and sale between Wheaton and the Vendor at the price and upon the terms and conditions contained in the ROFR Offer; provided that within such thirty (30) day period:
		

		
			(i)    Wheaton may request that the terms and conditions contained in the ROFR Offer be amended to require that palladium and platinum sales and deliveries be made to Wheaton pursuant to a transaction structure substantially similar to the transaction structure contemplated by this Agreement (including the use of non-Canadian entities and non-U.S. entities as being the counterparties required to deliver palladium and platinum to Wheaton) rather than as contemplated in the ROFR Offer (the “ROFR Offer Amendments”); provided that such ROFR Offer Amendments shall not adversely change the economic substance of the amended ROFR Offer as compared to the Third Party Offer;
		

		
			(ii)   in such event, Wheaton and the Vendor will (and Supplier shall cause the Vendor to) negotiate, each acting reasonably and in good faith, with a view to agreeing upon the ROFR Offer Amendments, which shall not be binding on either Wheaton or the Vendor until agreed in an instrument in writing, provided that the ultimate decision of the Vendor to accept or reject any or all of the ROFR Offer Amendments shall be made in the Vendor’s sole discretion, acting reasonably; and
		

		
			(iii)  for greater certainty, Wheaton may elect at any time to withdraw its request for the ROFR Offer Amendments and accept the ROFR Offer at any time within such thirty (30) day period.
		

		
			(c)         If Wheaton does not accept the ROFR Offer, or if Wheaton requests the ROFR Offer Amendments and Wheaton and the Vendor have not agreed in writing upon such amendments, in each case within the thirty (30) day period, then the Vendor shall be free to sell all (but not less than all) of such ROFR Interest to the applicable third party pursuant to the Third Party Offer.  If the Vendor and the third party have not entered into a binding, written agreement pertaining to all (but not less than all) of such ROFR Interest (the “Third Party Agreement”) within thirty (30) days following the expiry of the thirty (30) day period set forth in Section 7.11(b), then Supplier and the Vendor shall again be required to comply with the terms of this Agreement with respect to that Third Party Offer before selling the ROFR Interest that is the subject to the Third Party Offer to a third party.  Supplier shall provide Wheaton with a copy of the Third Party Agreement promptly once it is executed and delivered.

			(d)         For the avoidance of doubt:
		

		
			(i)    this Section 7.11 is intended to apply, mutatis mutandis, to any offer made by a Vendor to any third party to sell a ROFR Interest, with such changes as are necessary to make this Section 7.11 applicable thereto;
		

		
			(ii)   a Vendor shall be entitled at any time to negotiate with any third party the terms upon which such third party may purchase a ROFR Interest, provided that before such terms are accepted, the Vendor complies with this Section 7.11; and
		

		
			(iii)  this Section 7.11 shall not apply to any: (A) palladium and platinum forward sales or options or other palladium or platinum sales or palladium or platinum loans to a financial institution or bullion bank not engaging in the business of streaming or royalty transactions; (B) a royalty that is based on revenues, net profits or similar concepts on all minerals from the Mining Properties, under which royalty palladium and platinum are treated no differently than other minerals and palladium and platinum represents less than 25% of the value of such royalty; or (C) public offerings of securities that are backed by palladium or platinum, paid in palladium or platinum, priced based on palladium or platinum prices or have payment obligations based on palladium or platinum prices.
		

		
			7.12      Encumbrances
		

		
			At any time prior to the Trigger Date that the Investment Grade Rating Condition is not satisfied by either (i) Supplier, or (ii) any Guarantor which controls the Project Owner and Supplier and which has provided an Affiliate Guarantee in accordance with Section 7.7(e)(i) or Section 7.8(a) (in each case, a “Rated Entity”), Supplier shall not, and shall cause each Supplier Group Entity to not, grant or allow to exist any Financial Encumbrance in respect of all or any of the Core Collateral in favour of a third party other than Wheaton or any of its Affiliates, other than:
		

		
			(a)         Permitted Encumbrances; and
		

		
			(b)         Financial Encumbrances where in each case: (i) Wheaton is provided with the same Financial Encumbrance over such Core Collateral as such third party; (ii) Wheaton and the third party holder of such Financial Encumbrance enter into an intercreditor agreement on terms satisfactory to Wheaton, acting reasonably, which shall include provisions addressing the priority of Wheaton and such third party’s interests; and (iii) the Supplier Group Entity granting such Financial Encumbrance and the third party holder of such Financial Encumbrance comply with the conditions set forth in Section 3.2(a) mutatis mutandis, including in respect of any security agreement giving effect to such Financial Encumbrance and such intercreditor agreement.
		

		
			Despite the foregoing, any Encumbrance granted by a Supplier Group Entity in compliance with this Section 7.12 at a time when the Rated Entity satisfies the Investment Grade Rating Condition, shall not thereafter become prohibited by this Section 7.12 as a result of the Investment Grade Rating Condition ceasing to be satisfied by the Rated Entity in the future; provided that any such Encumbrance shall not be permitted to secure Financial Indebtedness which is incurred or for which a person becomes liable, at a time when the Investment Grade Rating Condition is not satisfied by Rated Entity (including for greater certainty additional drawdowns under any revolving or other existing Financial Indebtedness at a time when the Investment Grade Rating Condition is not satisfied by the Rated Entity).

			7.13      Indebtedness
		

		
			At any time prior to the Advance Payment Reduction Date that the Investment Grade Rating Condition is not satisfied by a Rated Entity:
		

		
			(a)         Supplier shall cause each Supplier PMPA Entity to not incur or become liable for any Financial Indebtedness, other than:
		

		
			(i)    Financial Indebtedness owing to any other Supplier Group Entity provided that such Financial Indebtedness is subject to a Subordination and Postponement of Claims in favour of Wheaton; and
		

		
			(ii)   Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; and
		

		
			(b)         Supplier shall cause each Supplier PMPA Entity to not guarantee, indemnify, act as co-obligor or otherwise assume any responsibility or obligation in respect of any Financial Indebtedness, other than:
		

		
			(i)    debts and obligations of Supplier under this Agreement; and
		

		
			(ii)   Financial Indebtedness that is permitted under Section 7.13(a);
		

		
			unless, on the date thereof and after giving pro forma effect thereto:
		

		
			(c)         the ratio of Consolidated Net Borrowings as of the date such Financial Indebtedness is incurred to Consolidated EBITDA in respect of the Measurement Period ending on the most recent preceding Measurement Date (the “Leverage Ratio”) does not exceed 3.50:1.00; or
		

		
			(d)         the Leverage Ratio does not exceed 4.50:1.00 and, in respect of this Section 7.13(d):
		

		
			(i)    prior to incurring such Financial Indebtedness, one or more Affiliate Guarantees are executed and delivered by one or more Supplier Group Entities in favour of Wheaton such that the aggregate EBITDA of the Guarantors on a non-consolidated basis in respect of the Measurement Period ending on the most recent preceding Measurement Date is greater than or equal to eighty-five percent (85%) of Consolidated EBITDA in respect of the Measurement Period ending on the most recent preceding Measurement Date; and
		

		
			(ii)   Supplier shall cause each such Guarantor to comply with the following requirements concurrently with the delivery of the applicable Affiliate Guarantee:
		

		
			(A)        each such Guarantor shall deliver to Wheaton a current certificate of corporate status, good standing or compliance (or equivalent) for such Guarantor, issued by the relevant Governmental Authority;
		

		
			(B)        each such Guarantor shall execute and deliver to Wheaton a certificate of a director or senior officer of such Guarantor, in form and substance satisfactory to Wheaton, acting reasonably, certifying copies of the constating documents of such Guarantor, the resolutions of the Board of Directors or other comparable authority of such Guarantor authorizing

			the execution, delivery and performance of the Affiliate Guarantee, and the transactions contemplated thereby, the names, positions and true signatures of the persons authorized to sign the Affiliate Guarantee, and such other matters pertaining to the transactions contemplated hereby as Wheaton may reasonably require; and
		

		
			(C)        Wheaton shall have received favourable opinions, in form and substance satisfactory to Wheaton, acting reasonably, from external legal counsel to such Guarantor as to, among other things: (1) the legal status of such Guarantor; (2) the authority of such Guarantor to execute and deliver the Affiliate Guarantee, and the enforceability thereof against such Guarantor; and (3) the execution and delivery of the Affiliate Guarantee by such Guarantor.
		

		
			For purposes of calculating the Leverage Ratio, (1) EBITDA shall be calculated by reference to the Financial Statements of the applicable Guarantor, (2) Consolidated EBITDA shall be calculated by reference to the Financial Statements of the Supplier or, where another entity controls the Project Owner and Supplier, such other entity and (3) Consolidated Net Borrowings shall be calculated as the amount of Consolidated Net Borrowings specified in the Financial Statements of the Supplier or, where another entity controls the Project Owner and Supplier, such other entity, adjusted for  any Indebtedness for Borrowed Money incurred, prepaid or repaid since the date of the most recently completed Measurement Period (including, for the avoidance of doubt, adjustments as a result of a change to the cash position at the end of such Measurement Period due to any prepayment or repayment of Indebtedness for Borrowed Money occurring after such Measurement Period).
		

		
			7.14      Wheaton Change of Control
		

		
			During the term of this Agreement, Wheaton shall ensure that neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall enter into any agreement, arrangement or transaction with any person that would cause, or otherwise allow or permit to occur, a direct or indirect Change of Control of Wheaton, if the person acquiring such control of Wheaton is a Restricted Person.
		

		
			7.15      Financial Indebtedness Owing to Supplier Group Entities
		

		
			From and after the Closing Date, Supplier shall cause each Supplier PMPA Entity to not incur, become liable for or permit to exist any Financial Indebtedness owing by such Supplier PMPA Entity to any Supplier Group Entity (other than a Supplier PMPA Entity) unless and except if such Financial Indebtedness is subject to a Subordination and Postponement of Claims in favour of Wheaton.

			cure period shall be subject to the same cure period as applies to the underlying covenant or obligation of Supplier in this Agreement;
		

		
			(c)         any Supplier PMPA Entity is in breach or default of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement or in any security agreement entered into in accordance with Section 7.12(b) in any material respect (other than a breach or default of the covenants and obligations referenced in Sections 10.1(a) and 10.1(b)), and, except in respect of breaches or defaults of any covenants or obligations set forth in Sections 7.3,  7.5,  7.12,  7.13 or 12.13(b), which for greater certainty shall have no cure period, such breach or default is not remedied within 30 days following delivery by Wheaton to Supplier of written notice of such breach or default, or such longer period of time as Wheaton may determine in its sole discretion;
		

		
			(d)         the Project Owner does not observe and perform any covenant or obligation that Supplier is required to cause the Project Owner to observe or perform under this Agreement or that otherwise relates to the Project Owner (including the occurrence or existence of a fact, change, or event with respect to the Project Owner contrary to the terms of this Agreement), in any material respect, and such non-observance or non-performance is not remedied within a period of 30 days following delivery by Wheaton to Supplier of written notice of such non-observance or non-performance, or such longer period of time as Wheaton may determine in its sole discretion; and

			provided that Wheaton shall have no right to the remedies set out in Section 10.2(b) unless and until the occurrence and continuance of such Supplier Event of Default results in a Material Adverse Event.

			Each of the following events or circumstances constitutes an event of default with respect to Wheaton (each, a “Wheaton Event of Default”):
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			57

		





 



		

			 

		





		

		
			(a)         Wheaton fails to pay for Refined Gold or Refined Palladium on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement within ten Business Days of receipt of notice from Supplier notifying Wheaton of such default (the “Payment Default Notice”); and
		

		
			(b)         Wheaton is in breach or default of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement in any material respect (other than a breach or default of the covenants and obligations referenced in Section 10.3(a)), and, except in respect of breaches or defaults of any covenants or obligations set forth in Sections 7.14 or 12.13(c), which for greater certainty shall have no cure period, such breach or default is not remedied within 30 days following delivery by Supplier to Wheaton of written notice of such breach or default, or such longer period of time as Supplier may determine in its sole discretion.
		

		
			10.4      Supplier Remedies
		

		
			If a Wheaton Event of Default occurs and is continuing, Supplier shall have the right, upon written notice to Wheaton, at its option and in addition to and not in substitution for any other remedies available under Applicable Law, to take any or all of the following actions:
		

		
			(a)         demand all amounts due from Wheaton to Supplier but not yet paid, including Losses pursuant to Section 10.5, and set off any such amount in accordance with Section 11.5;
		

		
			(b)         in the event of any Wheaton Event of Default set out in Section 10.3(a) which is continuing for a period of three (3) consecutive months and provided there is no continuing Supplier Event of Default at such time, or a Wheaton Change of Control or Transfer in favour of a Restricted Person in breach of Sections 7.14 or 12.13(c), upon written notice to Wheaton, suspend its delivery obligations in respect of Refined Gold and Refined Palladium under Sections 2.1(a) and 2.2(a) (other than those delivery obligations that arose prior to the date of such Wheaton Event of Default) and its obligations under Sections 6.1 and 6.4, and such other obligations contained herein as are required in connection therewith;
		

		
			(c)         bring an action for specific performance; and
		

		
			(d)         in the event of any Transfer in breach of Sections 7.14 or 12.13(c), take all steps available under Applicable Law to have such Transfer declared null and void;
		

		
			provided that if Supplier elects the remedy set out in Section 10.4(b) and Wheaton cures such Wheaton Event of Default in full, then Supplier’s suspended obligations under this Agreement shall recommence as of the date Wheaton so cures such Wheaton Event of Default and notifies Supplier thereof in writing, and any Refined Gold and Refined Palladium that Supplier would have been obligated to deliver but for such suspension shall then be due and deliverable with the next delivery obligations pursuant to Sections 2.1(a) and 2.2(a).  Prior to the curing of such Wheaton Event of Default by Wheaton, Supplier may sell Refined Gold and Refined Palladium to any third parties in its discretion at prices agreed with such third parties, provided that for greater certainty such third party sales shall in no way reduce Supplier’s delivery obligations to deliver any Refined Gold and Refined Palladium that Supplier would have been obligated to deliver but for such suspension once the Wheaton Event of Default is cured.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that Wheaton: (i) has notified Supplier in writing that it disputes all or any part of the amount payable as set out in the Payment Default Notice; (ii) is actively and in good faith pursuing resolution of such disputed payment in accordance with Section 10.9; and (iii) has paid to Supplier an amount equal to the undisputed portion of the total amount payable as set out in the relevant Payment

			10.5      Indemnity
		

		
			(a)         Each Party agrees to indemnify and save harmless the other Party and its respective Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all Losses suffered or incurred by any of the foregoing persons in connection with:
		

		
			(i)    any inaccuracy in or default or breach of any representation or warranty of such Party or any of its Affiliates contained in this Agreement or the Affiliate Guarantees, as applicable;
		

		
			(ii)   any breach or default by such Party or any of its Affiliates of any covenant or obligation to be performed by it pursuant to this Agreement or the Affiliate Guarantees, as applicable;
		

		
			(iii)  in the case of indemnification by Supplier, a Supplier Event of Default;
		

		
			(iv)  in the case of indemnification by Wheaton, a Wheaton Event of Default;
		

		
			(v)   a failure by such Party to make a deduction, withholding, charge or levy for or on account of Taxes pursuant to Section 11.2(a);
		

		
			(vi)  any Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) imposed on or to which Wheaton is otherwise subject under Sections 897 or 1445 of the United States Internal Revenue Code as a result of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, which for clarity does not include (A) any Taxes of Wheaton arising as a result of a Transfer by Wheaton of all or part of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any other person or (B) any Taxes arising as a result of any Encumbrance described in Section 7.12(b), including as a result of the granting or subsequent Transfer of such Encumbrance; and
		

		
			(vii) pursuing any remedies that the other Party is entitled to hereunder.
		

		
			(b)         This Section 10.5 is:
		

		
			(i)    a continuing obligation, separate and independent from the Parties’ other obligations and survives the termination of this Agreement; and
		

		
			(ii)   absolute and unconditional.
		

		
			(c)         It is not necessary for a Party to incur expense or make payment before enforcing a right of indemnity under this Agreement.
		

		
			(d)         Upon written demand by a Party, the other Party shall promptly pay all Losses owing to the demanding Party within 10 Business Days, or provide written notice within such 10 Business Day period that the other Party disputes the amount of such Losses and shall then promptly pay the amount determined upon settlement of such dispute; provided that the other Party shall pay to the demanding Party any amount not in dispute, and if any
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			59

		





 



		

			 

		





		

		
			such written notice is not provided within such 10 Business Day period, then the other Party will be deemed to have agreed with the Losses demanded by demanding Party.
		

		
			10.6      No Distribution
		

		
			In the event that Supplier fails to sell and deliver Refined Gold or Refined Palladium to Wheaton in accordance with Section 2.2 of this Agreement or fails to make any other payment due and owing to Wheaton in accordance with this Agreement  (a “Default Event”), then from the date of such Default Event and until such Default Event has been remedied, Supplier shall cause each of SWC Holdco and the Project Owner to not make any Distribution except to another Supplier PMPA Entity for the purpose of remedying such Default Event or otherwise complying with the terms of this Agreement.  If the making of a Distribution by SWC Holdco or the Project Owner would cause or result in a Default Event, Supplier shall cause SWC Holdco and Project Owner to not make such Distribution except to another Supplier PMPA Entity for the purpose of complying with the terms of this Agreement.
		

		
			10.7      Expropriation Event and Sharing of Compensation
		

		
			(a)         Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Expropriation Event after the Closing Date, Supplier shall promptly notify Wheaton of such occurrence, and all obligations of the Parties set out in Article 2 (but in the case of an Expropriation Event described in paragraph (a) of the definition of “Expropriation Event”, only to the extent that such obligations relate to the portion of the Mine to which the Expropriation Event pertains (such portion being the “Affected Property”)), including Supplier’s obligation to deliver Refined Gold and Refined Palladium to Wheaton, shall be suspended and not accrue while such Expropriation Event exists. In the event that such Expropriation Event subsequently ceases to exist, all obligations of the Parties under this Agreement which were suspended pursuant to this Section 10.7 shall automatically resume from and as of the date that such Expropriation Event ceases to exist.
		

		
			(b)         The only right of Wheaton upon the occurrence and continuation of any Expropriation Event shall be the right to share in any compensation as set out in Section 10.7(d).  At no time and under no circumstances shall all or any portion of the Advance Payment be reimbursed as a result of the occurrence of an Expropriation Event.
		

		
			(c)         Without limiting the generality of this Section 10.7:
		

		
			(i)    any loss of ownership or control over the Mine or any Affected Property as a result of an Expropriation Event shall not constitute a Transfer, or a Change of Control of any entity, for any purpose under this Agreement; and
		

		
			(ii)   any portion of the Mine, the Mining Properties, the Project Assets or the Mineral Processing Facilities that becomes an Affected Property as a result of an Expropriation Event shall (for so long as the Expropriation Event is continuing) be deemed not to be part of the Mine, the Mining Properties, the Project Assets or the Mineral Processing Facilities for any purpose under this Agreement.
		

		
			(d)         Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,  in the event any Supplier Group Entity receives any payment, benefit, consideration or other compensation (including payments by any Government Authority, any corporation or other entity controlled by a Governmental Authority or any insurance provider) as a consequence of, in connection

			with or in respect of any Expropriation Event (“Compensation”), then without limiting any other provisions hereof, Supplier shall pay to Wheaton an amount equal to eleven percent (11%) of the Compensation within ten Business Days of receipt of such Compensation by any Supplier Group Entity.
		

		
			10.8      Disputed Reports
		

		
			(a)         If Wheaton disputes any invoice, report or quantity of Refined Gold or Refined Palladium previously delivered pursuant to this Agreement, Wheaton shall deliver written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) to Supplier within thirty six (36) months from the delivery of such invoice, report or quantity (failing which Wheaton shall be deemed to have accepted such invoice, report or quantity and it will become final),  in which event Wheaton and Supplier shall have 60 days from the date the Dispute Notice is delivered to resolve the dispute. If Wheaton and Supplier have not resolved the dispute within such period, then Wheaton shall have the right to require Supplier to deliver an Auditor’s Report with respect to the subject matter of the dispute. Each of the Parties agrees to deliver such Books and Records as may be reasonably requested by the person completing the Auditor’s Report.
		

		
			(b)         The costs of the Auditor’s Report shall be paid by Wheaton, unless the Auditor’s Report concludes that the Payable Gold and Payable Palladium for the period covered by the Dispute Notice is greater than the number of ounces of Refined Gold and Refined Palladium actually delivered in respect of such period, in which event the cost of the Auditor’s Report shall be for the account of Supplier.
		

		
			10.9      Disputes
		

		
			If a Dispute arises between the Parties (and for this purpose any of the Supplier Group Entities involved in the Dispute shall be deemed to be one Party, and Wheaton the other Party), including with respect to an Auditor’s Report but not including a Dispute with respect to a determination of Stream NPV (for which the principles, assumptions and procedures outlined in the definition of such term and in Schedule G shall be the sole manner of resolving such a Dispute), the Parties shall promptly and in good faith attempt to resolve such Dispute through negotiations conducted in the following manner:
		

		
			(a)         the disputing Party shall give written notice to the other Parties to the Dispute, which notice shall include a statement of the disputing Party’s position and a summary of the arguments supporting its position;
		

		
			(b)         within 20 days after receipt of such notice, each receiving Party shall submit a written response to the disputing Party which shall also include a statement of the receiving Party’s position and a summary of the arguments supporting its position;
		

		
			(c)         the Chief Executive Officer or President of each of the Parties to the Dispute shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place, but in any event within 30 days after issuance of the disputing Party’s written notice, to attempt to resolve the Dispute; and

			ADDITIONAL PAYMENT TERMS
		

		
			11.1      Payments
		

		
			All payments due by one Party to another under this Agreement shall be made in United States dollars and shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the bank account or accounts designated by the other Party in writing from time to time.
		

		
			11.2      Taxes
		

		
			(a)         Subject to Section 11.2(b), all deliveries of Refined Gold and Refined Palladium and all amounts paid hereunder or under any Affiliate Guarantee shall be made without any deduction, withholding, charge or levy for or on account of any Taxes unless required by Applicable Law. If any such Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) are so required to be deducted, withheld, charged or levied by the Party making such delivery or payment, then such Party shall (and, in respect of any payment under any Affiliate Guarantee, Supplier shall cause the applicable Guarantor to) make, in addition to such delivery or payment, such additional delivery or payment, as applicable, as is necessary to ensure that the net amount received by the other Party entitled to such delivery or payment (free and clear and net of any such Taxes, including any Taxes required to be deducted, withheld, charged or levied on any such additional amount) equals the full amount such other Party would have received had no such deduction, withholding, charge or levy been required. Any additional payment or delivery by a Party to Wheaton under this Section 11.2(a) shall not reduce the amount of the uncredited Advance Payment (as such amount is determined in accordance with Section 2.4) or the uncredited Palladium Advance Payment.
		

		
			(b)         Notwithstanding Section 11.2(a): (i) Supplier shall not be required to (or, in respect of any payment under any Affiliate Guarantee, to cause the applicable Guarantor to) provide any gross-up or additional amounts under this Section 11.2 to the extent such requirement arises because of: (A) an assignment by Wheaton pursuant to Section 12.13(c) to an assignee, or (B) a consolidation, amalgamation, merger, reorganization, change of control or similar corporate event, in either case such that the successor to Wheaton is not resident in the Cayman Islands and such gross-up or additional amounts would not have arisen had such successor to Wheaton been resident in the Cayman Islands; and (ii) Wheaton shall not be required to provide any gross-up or additional amounts under this Section 11.2 to the extent such requirement arises because of: (A) an assignment by Supplier pursuant to Section 7.6 to an assignee, or (B) a consolidation, amalgamation, merger, reorganization, change of control or similar corporate event, in either case such that the successor to Supplier is not resident in South Africa and such gross-up or additional amounts would not have arisen had such successor to Supplier been resident in South Africa; provided that in each case the Parties will co-operate in good faith so as to not adversely affect the Tax payable by another Party.
		

		
			(c)         Upon the written request of the Party (or its Affiliate) required by Applicable Law to make any deduction, withholding, charge or levy for or on account of any Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) in respect of a delivery or payment referred to in Section 11.2(a), the Party entitled to receive such delivery or payment shall provide the first-mentioned Party (or its Affiliate) with any executed forms, statements or certificates necessary for such first-mentioned Party (or its Affiliate) to make such deliveries and payments free
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			62

		





 



		

			 

		





		

		
			and clear of any applicable deduction, withholding, charge or levy in accordance with Applicable Law; provided that the Party entitled to receive such delivery or payment shall not be required execute such forms, statements or certificates if it would have an adverse impact on such Party or its Affiliates.
		

		
			11.3      New Tax Laws
		

		
			In the event that any new Tax is implemented, or there shall occur any revision in, implementation of, amendment to or interpretation of any existing Tax, in each case that has an adverse effect on any of the Parties or any of their Affiliates in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, then Supplier and Wheaton agree that they shall negotiate in good faith with each other to amend this Agreement so that the other Parties and their Affiliates are no longer adversely affected by any such enactment, revision, implementation, amendment or interpretation, as the case may be; provided that any amendment to this Agreement shall not have any adverse impact on Supplier and its Affiliates on the one hand, and Wheaton and its Affiliates on the other hand.
		

		
			11.4      Interest
		

		
			(a)         The dollar value of:
		

		
			(i)    any Overdue Gold Ounces from time to time outstanding (such value, for the purposes of calculating interest, to be determined based on the Gold Market Price as of the day gold ounces are credited to the Overdue Gold Ounces, less the Gold Market Price originally credited to the Overdue Gold Ounces for gold ounces subsequently debited from the Overdue Gold Ounces on a “first in first out” basis); and
		

		
			(ii)   any Overdue Palladium Ounces from time to time outstanding (such value, for the purposes of calculating interest, to be determined based on the Palladium Market Price as of the day palladium ounces are credited to the Overdue Palladium Ounces, less the Palladium Market Price originally credited to the Overdue Palladium Ounces for palladium ounces subsequently debited from the Overdue Palladium Ounces on a “first in first out” basis);
		

		
			shall accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the lesser of (A) Prime plus 8% and (B) the maximum lawful rate permitted by Applicable Law. Such interest shall be calculated, compounded and paid monthly.
		

		
			(b)         Without duplicating interest payable in accordance with Section 11.4(a), any dollar amount not paid when due hereunder shall accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the lesser of (i) Prime plus 8% and (ii) the maximum lawful rate permitted by Applicable Law commencing as of the date such amount first became past due (which shall be deemed to be the date of termination of this Agreement in the event an amount is owed as a result of Section 10.2(b) and the date any Loss is first suffered or incurred in the event an amount is owed as a result of Section 10.5(a)).  Such interest shall be calculated, compounded and paid monthly.
		

		
			(c)         For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada): (i) whenever any interest under this Agreement is calculated using a rate based on a year of 360 days, the rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (x) the applicable rate based on a year of 360 days, (y) multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which such interest or fee is payable (or compounded) ends,
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			63

		





 



		

			 

		





		

		
			and (z) divided by 360; (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement; and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.
		

		
			11.5      Set Off
		

		
			Any dollar amount not paid when due by a Party or any Overdue Gold Ounces or Overdue Palladium Ounces may be set off by the other Party against any dollar amount or Refined Gold and Refined Palladium owed to such Party by the other Party.  Any amount of Refined Gold and Refined Palladium set off and withheld against any non-payment by a Party shall be valued at the Gold Market Price or Palladium Market Price, as applicable, as of the date that such amount of Refined Gold and Refined Palladium first became payable to such Party.  Any dollar amount set off and withheld against any Overdue Gold Ounces or Overdue Palladium Ounces shall result in a reduction to the Overdue Gold Ounces and Overdue Palladium Ounces by that number of ounces equal to the dollar amount set off divided by the Gold Market Price or Palladium Market Price, as applicable, as of the day such dollar amount first became payable.
		

		
			11.6      Judgment Currency
		

		
			If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Party in any court in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into a particular currency (the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in another currency (the “Indebtedness Currency”) under this Agreement, that conversion will be made at the rate of exchange, which shall be that at which, in accordance with its normal banking procedures, the non-defaulting Party could purchase the Indebtedness Currency with the Judgment Currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which judgment is given (or if received on a day other than a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day), or, if permitted by Applicable Law, on the day on which the judgment is paid or satisfied (the “Rate of Exchange”). If, as a result of a change in the Rate of Exchange between the date of judgment and the date of actual payment, the conversion of the Judgment Currency into Indebtedness Currency results in the non-defaulting Party receiving less than the full amount of Indebtedness Currency payable to the non-defaulting Party, the defaulting Party agrees to pay the non-defaulting Party an additional amount (and in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount received is not less than the full amount of Indebtedness Currency payable by the defaulting Party on the date of judgment. Any additional amount due under this Section 11.6 will be due as a separate debt, gives rise to a separate cause of action, and will not be affected by judgment obtained for any other sums due under this Agreement.

			12.5      Costs and Expenses
		

		
			All costs and expenses incurred by a Party in considering whether to provide a consent contemplated under this Agreement or an amendment or waiver requested by any other Party, shall be for the account of such other Party.  All costs and expenses in connection with the registration and perfection of security, if any, in accordance with this Agreement (including any stamp duty or taxes) shall be for the account of Supplier. Subject to the foregoing and except as otherwise expressly set out in this Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties, all costs and expenses incurred by a Party shall be for its own account.

			(a)         This Agreement shall enure to the benefit of and shall be binding on and enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
		

		
			(b)         Except for Transfers made in accordance with Section 7.6, Supplier shall not Transfer all or any part of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Wheaton, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Supplier may Transfer all (but not part) of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to an Affiliate without the prior written consent of Wheaton if:

			(iii)  the transferee assumes in favour of Wheaton all of Supplier’s obligations under this Agreement pursuant to a written agreement;
		

		
			(iv)  either (a) the transferee, if such person is not controlled by any other person, or (ii) in any other case, the Affiliate which controls the transferee which Affiliate is not controlled by any other person, executes and delivers an Affiliate Guarantee;

			(vii) such Transfer and any other actions and steps undertaken in connection with, or in relation to, such Transfer, including those required by this Section 12.13(b), would not be reasonably expected to:
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			68

			(B)        increase any Tax payable by Wheaton, or increase the potential for any Tax to become payable by Wheaton, unless the amount of any such additional Tax actually or potentially payable by Wheaton is not material and would be reduced to nil after giving effect to the provisions of Section 11.2;
		

		
			(viii) each Guarantor under each Affiliate Guarantee confirms and agrees in favour of Wheaton that its respective obligations under such Affiliate Guarantee continue in full force and effect despite such Transfer; and

			(c)         Wheaton shall not Transfer all or any part of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Supplier, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Wheaton may Transfer all or any part of this Agreement to:
		

		
			(i)    an Affiliate without the prior written consent of Supplier; or
		

		
			(ii)   if a Supplier Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to any person, without the prior written consent of Supplier, if:
		

		
			(A)        the Advance Payment has been received by Supplier in accordance with this Agreement;
		

		
			(B)        Wheaton shall have provided Supplier with at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of the proposed Transfer;
		

		
			(C)        such Transfer and any other actions and steps undertaken in connection with, or in relation to, such Transfer, including those required by this Section 12.13(c)(ii), would not be reasonably expected to:
		

		
			(I)     limit, restrict or impair the ability of the transferee to perform its obligations under this Agreement; or
		

		
			(II)   increase any Tax payable by Supplier, or increase the potential for any Tax to become payable by Supplier, unless the amount of any such additional Tax actually or potentially payable by Supplier is not material and would be reduced to nil after giving effect to the provisions of Section 11.2;
		

		
			(D)        the transferee assumes in favour of Supplier all of Wheaton’s obligations under this Agreement; and

			(d)         For greater certainty, any Transfer pursuant to Sections 12.13(b) or 12.13(c) shall not release the transferor of its obligations under this Agreement unless expressly agreed otherwise in this Agreement or in any other written agreement.
		

		
			12.14    Invalidity and Unenforceability
		

		
			If a provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be wholly or partially invalid or unenforceable in a jurisdiction:
		

		
			(a)         it is to be read down or severed in that jurisdiction to the extent of the invalidity or unenforceability; and
		

		
			(b)         that fact does not affect the validity or enforceability of that provision in another jurisdiction or the remaining provisions.
		

		
			It is hereby declared to be the intention of the Parties that this Agreement would have been executed without reference to any portion which may, for any reason, hereafter be declared or held invalid.
		

		
			12.15    Counterparts
		

		
			This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by the Parties in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

			SCHEDULE G – Stream NPV Procedures
		

		
			If it becomes necessary to value the Stream NPV, the value shall be determined in accordance with the following:
		

		
			(a)         Upon any requirement to determine the Stream NPV, the Supplier and Wheaton shall for a period of 60 days each use their respective commercially reasonable endeavours to mutually agree upon the value of the Stream NPV.
		

		
			(b)         To the extent the Supplier and Wheaton are unable to agree on the value of the Stream NPV within the period specified in paragraph (a) above, the value of Stream NPV shall be determined as follows:
		

		
			(i)        the simple average of the valuations prepared by two Independent Experts (as such term is defined below) appointed in accordance with, and using the methodology described within, this Schedule G, provided that such average is no more than 15% greater than the lower of such valuations.  These initial two Independent Experts shall be appointed within 10 Business Days of the expiry of the period set forth in paragraph (a) above;
		

		
			(ii)       in the event that the aforementioned average is greater than 15% of the lower of such valuations, the value of the Stream NPV shall be:
		

		
			(x)         the value of the Stream NPV as determined by a third Independent Expert appointed in accordance with, and using the methodology described within, this Schedule G if such value is (A) not less than the simple average of the valuations prepared by the original two Independent Experts in accordance with the foregoing, less 10% of the difference between the valuations prepared by the original two Independent Experts; and (B) not more than the simple average of the valuations prepared by the original two Independent Experts in accordance with the foregoing, plus 10% of the difference between the valuations prepared by the original two Independent Experts; or
		

		
			(y)         in all other circumstances, the simple average of (A) the valuation prepared by the third Independent Expert, and (B) the valuation prepared by the original two Independent Experts in accordance with the foregoing that is closest to the valuation prepared by such third Independent Expert.
		

		
			If required, the third Independent Expert shall be appointed within 10 Business Days of the receipt of the Valuation Certificates (as such term is defined below) from the original two Independent Experts; and
		

		
			(iii)      the Stream NPV determined in accordance with the foregoing process shall, in the absence of material proven error, be final and binding on the Supplier and Wheaton.
		

		
			(c)         Each of the Supplier and Wheaton shall, with respect to the original two Independent Experts and to the extent required pursuant to this Schedule G, appoint one suitably qualified investment banking firm of internationally recognised standing (subject to paragraph (d)(i) below) to act as
		

		
			 
		

		
			 
		

		
			


		 


		

			G-1

		





 



		

			 

		





		

		
			an Independent Expert.  To the extent a third Independent Expert is required pursuant to this Schedule G, the Supplier and Wheaton shall appoint a suitably qualified investment banking firm of internationally recognised standing (subject to paragraphs (d)(i) and (ii) below) as the Supplier and Wheaton may mutually agree in writing to act as such third Independent Expert or, to the extent that the Supplier and Wheaton cannot agree on any such firm within 15 Business Days after the date that the Supplier and Wheaton are required to appoint the third Independent Expert pursuant to the terms of this Schedule G, the International Centre for Expertise of the International Chamber of Commerce shall appoint such firm (each party meeting the aforementioned criteria being an “Independent Expert”).
		

		
			(d)         Unless the Supplier and Wheaton agree otherwise, each Independent Expert shall be a firm that:
		

		
			(i)      is, with respect to any Independent Expert, independent of the Supplier and Wheaton and each of their respective Affiliates; and
		

		
			(ii)     has not, with respect to the third Independent Expert only, acted for any of the Supplier, Wheaton or any of their respective Affiliates in any significant capacity for at least one year before the date of selection of such Independent Expert for the purposes of this Schedule G.
		

		
			(e)         The Supplier and Wheaton shall ensure that each Independent Expert has access to (and copies to the extent requested) such books, records and information in such person’s or its Affiliates’ possession or control as any Independent Expert may reasonably request for the purpose of determining the Stream NPV.  To the extent possible, the Supplier and its Affiliates shall also make their personnel, consultants and advisors available to each Independent Expert for such purpose.
		

		
			(f)         Each Independent Expert shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator. Each Independent Expert shall provide a written determination of the value with respect to the Stream NPV (each, a “Valuation Certificate”).
		

		
			(g)         The Supplier and Wheaton shall each bear the costs of obtaining the Valuation Certificate of the Independent Expert appointed by them, and one half of the cost of obtaining any third Independent Expert’s Valuation Certificate.
		

		
			(h)         The Valuation Certificates shall be issued to each of the Supplier and Wheaton by the Independent Experts within 60 Business Days, with respect to the first two Independent Experts appointed in accordance with this document, or within 40 Business Days, with respect to any third Independent Expert appointed in accordance with this document, of their appointment unless agreed otherwise by each of the Supplier and Wheaton.
		

		
			(i)          The Stream NPV shall be determined on the basis of knowledgeable, arm’s length parties, and shall be determined using a valuation methodology based on the present pre-tax United States dollar discounted value.
