Common Stock generally, including, without limitation, dissident proxy and
information circulars (and related information and material) and take-over bid
and securities exchange take-over bid circulars (and related information and
material), Coeur shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to the
Trustee copies thereof in sufficient quantities so as to enable the Trustee to
forward or cause to be forwarded such material (unless the same has been
provided directly to Beneficiaries by such third party) to each Beneficiary as
soon as possible thereafter. As soon as reasonably practicable after receipt
thereof, the Trustee will mail or otherwise send, or cause to be mailed or
otherwise sent, to each Beneficiary, at the expense of Coeur, copies of all such
materials received by the Trustee from Coeur. The Trustee will also make
available for inspection by any Beneficiary at the Trustee's principal office in
Toronto copies of all such materials.

4.6            LIST OF PERSONS ENTITLED TO VOTE


               Acquisitionco shall, (a) prior to each annual, general and
special Coeur Meeting or the seeking of any Coeur Consent and (b) forthwith upon
each request made at any time by the Trustee in writing, prepare or cause to be
prepared a list (a "LIST") of the names and addresses of the Beneficiaries
arranged in alphabetical order and showing the number of Exchangeable Shares
held of record by each such Beneficiary, in each case at the close of business
on the date specified by the Trustee in such request or, in the case of a List
prepared in connection with a Coeur Meeting or a Coeur Consent, at the close of
business on the record date established by Coeur or pursuant to applicable law
for determining the holders of Coeur Common Stock entitled to receive notice of
and/or to vote at such Coeur Meeting or to give consent in connection with a
Coeur Consent. Each such List shall be delivered to the Trustee promptly after
receipt by


<PAGE>
                                     - 9 -




Acquisitionco of such request or the record date for such meeting or seeking of
consent, as the case may be, and, in any event, within sufficient time as to
enable the Trustee to perform its obligations under this agreement. Coeur agrees
to give Acquisitionco written notice (with a copy to the Trustee) of the calling
of any Coeur Meeting or the seeking of any Coeur Consent, together with the
record date therefor, sufficiently prior to the date of the calling of such
meeting or seeking such consent so as to enable Acquisitionco to perform its
obligations under this Section 4.6.

4.7            ENTITLEMENT TO DIRECT VOTES

               Any Beneficiary named in a List prepared in connection with any
Coeur Meeting or any Coeur Consent will be entitled (a) to instruct the Trustee
in the manner described in Section 4.3 hereof with respect to the exercise of
the Beneficiary Votes to which such Beneficiary is entitled or (b) to attend
such meeting and personally to exercise thereat (or to exercise with respect to
any written consent), as the proxy of the Trustee, the Beneficiary Votes to
which such Beneficiary is entitled or (c) to appoint a third party as the proxy
of the Trustee to attend such meeting and exercise thereat the Beneficiary's
voting rights to which such Beneficiary is entitled except, in each case, to the
extent that such Beneficiary has transferred the ownership of any Exchangeable
Shares in respect of which such Beneficiary is entitled to Beneficiary Votes
after the close of business on the record date for such meeting or seeking of
consent.

4.8            VOTING BY TRUSTEE AND ATTENDANCE OF TRUSTEE REPRESENTATIVE AT
               MEETING

(1)     In connection with each Coeur Meeting and Coeur Consent, the Trustee
        shall exercise, either in person or by proxy, in accordance with the
        instructions received from a Beneficiary pursuant to Section 4.3 hereof,
        the Beneficiary Votes as to which such Beneficiary is entitled to direct
        the vote (or any lesser number thereof as may be set forth in the
        instructions); provided, however, that such written instructions are
        received by the Trustee from the Beneficiary prior to the time and date
        fixed by the Trustee for receipt of such instruction in the notice sent
        or caused to be sent by the Trustee to the Beneficiary pursuant to
        Section 4.3.

(2)     The Trustee shall cause such representatives who are empowered by it to
        sign and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, proxies for Voting Rights
        enabling a Beneficiary to attend each Coeur Meeting. Upon submission by
        a Beneficiary (or its designee) named in the List prepared in connection
        with the relevant meeting of identification satisfactory to the
        Trustee's representative, and at the Beneficiary's request, such
        representative shall sign and deliver to such Beneficiary (or its
        designee) a proxy to exercise personally the Beneficiary Votes as to
        which such Beneficiary is otherwise entitled hereunder to direct the
        vote, if such Beneficiary either (i) has not previously given the
        Trustee instructions pursuant to Section 4.3 in respect of such meeting
        or (ii) submits to such representative written revocation of any such
        previous instructions. At such meeting, the Beneficiary (or its
        designee) exercising such Beneficiary Votes shall have the same rights
        in respect of such Beneficiary Votes as the Trustee to speak at the
        meeting in respect of any matter, question, proposal or proposition, to
        vote by way of ballot at the meeting in respect of any matter, question,
        proposal or proposition, and to vote at such meeting by way of a show of
        hands in respect of any matter, question or proposition.

               Any written materials distributed by the Trustee to the
Beneficiaries pursuant to this agreement shall be sent by mail (or otherwise
communicated in the same manner as Coeur utilizes in communications to holders
of Coeur Common Stock subject to the Trustee being advised in writing of such
manner and provided such manner of communications is reasonably available to the
Trustee) to each Beneficiary at its address as shown on the register of holders
of Exchangeable Shares maintained by the registrar of the Exchangeable Shares.
Acquisitionco shall provide or cause to be provided to the Trustee for purposes
of communication, on a timely basis and without charge or other expense:

        (a)    a current List; and

        (b)    upon the request of the Trustee, mailing labels to enable the
               Trustee to carry out its duties under this agreement.

4.10           TERMINATION OF VOTING RIGHTS

               All of the rights of a Beneficiary with respect to the
Beneficiary Votes exercisable in respect of the Exchangeable Shares held by such
Beneficiary, including the right to instruct the Trustee as to the voting of or
to vote personally such Beneficiary Votes, shall be deemed to be surrendered by
the Beneficiary to Coeur or Coeur ULC, as the case may be, and such Beneficiary
Votes and the Voting Rights represented thereby shall cease immediately upon the
delivery by such holder to the Trustee of the certificates representing such
Exchangeable Shares in connection with the exercise by the Beneficiary of the
Exchange Right or the occurrence of the automatic exchange of Exchangeable
Shares for Coeur Common Stock, as specified in Article 5 hereof, or upon the
retraction or redemption of Exchangeable Shares pursuant to Article 6 or Article
7 of the Share Provisions, or upon the effective date of the liquidation,
dissolution or winding-up of Acquisitionco or any other distribution of the
assets of Acquisitionco among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its
affairs pursuant to Article 5 of the Share Provisions, or upon the purchase of
Exchangeable Shares from the holder thereof by Coeur or Coeur ULC pursuant to
the exercise by Coeur or Coeur ULC of the Retraction Call Right, the Redemption
Call Right or the Liquidation Call Right (unless Coeur shall not have delivered
the requisite Coeur Common Stock and cheque, if any, delivered in exchange
therefor to the Trustee pending delivery to the Beneficiaries).

                    EXCHANGE RIGHT, AUTOMATIC EXCHANGE RIGHT
                                AND COEUR SUPPORT

5.1            GRANT AND OWNERSHIP OF THE AUTOMATIC EXCHANGE RIGHT AND THE
               EXCHANGE RIGHT

               Coeur hereby grants to the Trustee as trustee for and on behalf
of, and for the use and benefit of, the Beneficiaries: (i) the Automatic
Exchange Right, and (ii) the right (the "EXCHANGE RIGHT"), upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Insolvency Event, to require Coeur to purchase
or to cause Coeur ULC to purchase from each or any Beneficiary all or any part
of the Exchangeable Shares held by the Beneficiary, all in accordance with the
provisions of this agreement. Coeur hereby acknowledges receipt from the
Trustee, as trustee for

<PAGE>
                                     - 11 -



and on behalf of the Beneficiaries, of good and valuable consideration (and the
adequacy thereof) for the grant of the Automatic Exchange Right and the Exchange
Right by Coeur to the Trustee. During the term of the Trust and subject to the
terms and conditions of this agreement, the Trustee shall possess and be vested
with full legal ownership of the Automatic Exchange Right and the Exchange Right
and shall be entitled to exercise all of the rights and powers of an owner with
respect to the Automatic Exchange Right and the Exchange Right, provided that
the Trustee shall:

        (a)    hold the Automatic Exchange Right and the Exchange Right and the
               legal title thereto as trustee solely for the use and benefit of
               the Beneficiaries in accordance with the provisions of this
               agreement; and

        (b)    except as specifically authorized by this agreement, have no
               power or authority to exercise or otherwise deal in or with the
               Automatic Exchange Right and the Exchange Right, and the Trustee
               shall not exercise such right for any purpose other than the
               purposes for which this Trust is created pursuant to this
               agreement.

5.2            LEGENDED SHARE CERTIFICATES

               Acquisitionco will cause each certificate representing
Exchangeable Shares to bear an appropriate legend notifying the Beneficiaries of
the Automatic Exchange Right, the Exchange Right and of their right to instruct
the Trustee with respect to the exercise of the Exchange Right in respect of the
Exchangeable Shares held by a Beneficiary.

5.3            EXERCISE OF EXCHANGE RIGHT

               The Exchange Right shall be and remain vested in and exercisable
by the Trustee. Subject to Section 7.15 hereof, the Trustee shall exercise the
Exchange Right only on the basis of instructions received pursuant to this
Article 5 from Beneficiaries entitled to instruct the Trustee as to the exercise
thereof. To the extent that no instructions are received from a Beneficiary with
respect to the Exchange Right, the Trustee shall not exercise or permit the
exercise of the Exchange Right.

5.4            PURCHASE PRICE

               The purchase price payable by Coeur or Coeur ULC for each
Exchangeable Share to be purchased by Coeur or Coeur ULC under the Exchange
Right shall be an amount per share equal to (a) the Current Market Price of a
share of Coeur Common Stock on the last Business Day prior to the day of closing
of the purchase and sale of such Exchangeable Share under the Exchange Right,
which shall be satisfied in full by causing to be delivered to such holder one
share of Coeur Common Stock, plus (b) the Dividend Amount, if any. The purchase
price for each such Exchangeable Share so purchased may be satisfied only by
Coeur or Coeur ULC delivering or causing to be delivered to the Trustee, on
behalf of the relevant Beneficiary, one share of Coeur Common Stock and a cheque
for the balance, if any, of the purchase price without interest (less any amount
required to be withheld under the Income Tax Act (Canada) or United States tax
laws, or any provision of any federal, provincial, state, local or foreign tax
laws).

5.5            EXERCISE INSTRUCTIONS

               Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, a
Beneficiary shall be entitled, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Insolvency Event, to instruct the Trustee to exercise the Exchange Right with
respect to all or any part of the Exchangeable Shares registered in the name of
such Beneficiary on the books of Acquisitionco. To cause the exercise of the
Exchange Right by the Trustee, the Beneficiary shall deliver to the Trustee, in
person or by certified or registered mail, at its principal office in Toronto,
Ontario or at such other places in Canada as the Trustee may from time to time
designate by written notice to the Beneficiaries, the certificates representing
the Exchangeable Shares which such Beneficiary desires Coeur to purchase, duly
endorsed in blank, and accompanied by such other documents and instruments as
may be required to effect a transfer of Exchangeable Shares under the NBBCA and
such additional documents and instruments as the Trustee or Acquisitionco may
reasonably require together with (a) a duly completed form of notice of exercise
of the Exchange Right, contained on the reverse of or attached to the
Exchangeable Share certificates, stating (i) that the Beneficiary thereby
instructs the Trustee to exercise the Exchange Right so as to require Coeur or
Coeur ULC to purchase from the Beneficiary the number of Exchangeable Shares
specified therein, (ii) that such Beneficiary has good title to and owns all
such Exchangeable Shares to be acquired by Coeur or Coeur ULC free and clear of
all liens, claims and encumbrances, (iii) the names in which the certificates
representing Coeur Common Stock issuable in connection with the exercise of the
Exchange Right are to be issued and (iv) the names and addresses of the persons
to whom such new certificates should be delivered and (b) payment (or evidence
satisfactory to the Trustee, Acquisitionco and Coeur of payment) of the taxes
(if any) payable as contemplated by Section 5.8 of this agreement. If only a
portion of the Exchangeable Shares represented by any certificate delivered to
the Trustee are to be purchased by Coeur or Coeur ULC under the Exchange Right,
a new certificate for the balance of such Exchangeable Shares shall be issued to
the holder at the expense of Acquisitionco.

5.6            DELIVERY OF COEUR COMMON STOCK; EFFECT OF EXERCISE

               Promptly after receipt of the certificates representing the
Exchangeable Shares that a Beneficiary desires Coeur or Coeur ULC to purchase
under the Exchange Right (together with such documents and instruments of
transfer and a duly completed form of notice of exercise of the Exchange Right)
duly endorsed for transfer to Coeur or Coeur ULC, the Trustee shall notify Coeur
and Acquisitionco of its receipt of the same, which notice to Coeur and
Acquisitionco shall constitute exercise of the Exchange Right by the Trustee on
behalf of the holder of such Exchangeable Shares, and Coeur shall immediately
thereafter deliver or cause Coeur ULC to deliver to the Trustee, for delivery to
the Beneficiary of such Exchangeable Shares (or to such other persons, if any,
properly designated by such Beneficiary), a certificate for the number of shares
of Coeur Common Stock deliverable in connection with such exercise of the
Exchange Right (which shares shall be duly issued as fully paid and
non-assessable and shall be free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance,
security interest or adverse claim) and a cheque for the balance, if any, of the
purchase price therefor; provided, however, that no such delivery shall be made
unless and until the Beneficiary requesting the same shall have paid (or
provided evidence satisfactory to the Trustee, Acquisitionco and Coeur of the
payment of) the taxes (if any) payable as contemplated by Section 5.8 of this
agreement. Immediately upon the giving of notice by the Trustee to Coeur and
Acquisitionco of the exercise of the Exchange Right, as provided in this Section
5.6, the closing of the transaction of purchase and sale contemplated by the
Exchange Right shall be deemed to have occurred, and the Beneficiary of


<PAGE>
                                     - 13 -



such Exchangeable Shares shall be deemed to have transferred to Coeur (or, at
Coeur's option, to Coeur ULC) all of its right, title and interest in and to
such Exchangeable Shares and the related interest in the Trust Estate and shall
not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a holder in respect thereof,
other than the right to receive its proportionate part of the total purchase
price therefor, unless the requisite number of shares of Coeur Common Stock
(together with a cheque for the balance, if any, of the total purchase price
therefor) is not delivered by Coeur or Coeur ULC to the Trustee, for delivery to
such Beneficiary (or to such other persons, if any, properly designated by such
Beneficiary), within five Business Days of the date of the giving of such notice
by the Trustee, in which case the rights of the Beneficiary shall remain
unaffected until such shares of Coeur Common Stock are so delivered and any such
cheque is so delivered and paid. Concurrently with the closing of the
transaction of purchase and sale contemplated by the Exchange Right, such
Beneficiary shall be considered and deemed for all purposes to be the holder of
the shares of Coeur Common Stock delivered to it pursuant to the Exchange Right.

5.7            EXERCISE OF EXCHANGE RIGHT SUBSEQUENT TO RETRACTION

               In the event that a Beneficiary has exercised its retraction
right under Article 6 of the Share Provisions to require Acquisitionco to redeem
any or all of the Exchangeable Shares held by the Beneficiary (the "Retracted
Shares") and is notified by Acquisitionco pursuant to Section 6.1(4) of the
Share Provisions that Acquisitionco will not be permitted as a result of
solvency requirements of applicable law to redeem all such Retracted Shares,
subject to receipt by the Trustee of written notice to that effect from
Acquisitionco and provided that neither Coeur nor Coeur ULC shall have exercised
its Retraction Call Right with respect to the Retracted Shares and that the
Beneficiary shall not have revoked the retraction request delivered by the
Beneficiary to Acquisitionco pursuant to Section 6.1(5) of the Share Provisions,
the retraction request will constitute and will be deemed to constitute notice
from the Beneficiary to the Trustee instructing the Trustee to exercise the
Exchange Right with respect to those Retracted Shares that Acquisitionco is
unable to redeem. In any such event, Acquisitionco hereby agrees with the
Trustee and in favour of the Beneficiary immediately to notify the Trustee of
such prohibition against Acquisitionco redeeming all of the Retracted Shares and
immediately to forward or cause to be forwarded to the Trustee all relevant
materials delivered by the Beneficiary to Acquisitionco or to the Transfer Agent
(including without limitation a copy of the retraction request delivered
pursuant to Section 6.1(1) of the Share Provisions) in connection with such
proposed redemption of the Retracted Shares and the Trustee will thereupon
exercise the Exchange Right with respect to the Retracted Shares that
Acquisitionco is not permitted to redeem and will require Coeur or, at Coeur's
option, Coeur ULC, to purchase such shares in accordance with the provisions of
this Article 5.

5.8            STAMP OR OTHER TRANSFER TAXES

               Upon any sale of Exchangeable Shares to Coeur or Coeur ULC
pursuant to the Exchange Right, the share certificate or certificates
representing Coeur Common Stock to be delivered in connection with the payment
of the total purchase price therefor shall be issued in the name of the
Beneficiary of the Exchangeable Shares so sold or in such names as such
Beneficiary may otherwise direct in writing without charge to the holder of the
Exchangeable Shares so sold, provided, however, that such Beneficiary (a) shall
pay (and none of Coeur, Coeur ULC, Acquisitionco or the Trustee shall be
required to pay) any documentary, stamp, transfer or other similar taxes that
may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or


<PAGE>
                                     - 14 -



delivery of such shares to a person other than such Beneficiary or (b) shall
have established to the satisfaction of the Trustee, Coeur and Acquisitionco
that such taxes, if any, have been paid.

5.9            NOTICE OF INSOLVENCY EVENT

               Immediately upon the occurrence of an Insolvency Event or any
event that with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would be an
Insolvency Event, Acquisitionco and Coeur shall give written notice thereof to
the Trustee. As soon as practicable after receiving notice from Acquisitionco or
Coeur or from any other person of the occurrence of an Insolvency Event, the
Trustee will mail to each Beneficiary, at the expense of Coeur, a notice of such
Insolvency Event in the form provided by Coeur, which notice shall contain a
brief statement of the right of the Beneficiaries with respect to the Exchange
Right.

5.10           COEUR SUPPORT OF COEUR ULC

               Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this agreement, so
long as any Exchangeable Shares are outstanding Coeur will take all actions and
do all such things as are necessary or desirable to enable and permit Coeur ULC,
in accordance with applicable law, to perform its obligations and exercise its
rights with respect to the satisfaction of the Liquidation Call Right, the
Redemption Call Right and the Retraction Call Right, including without
limitation, all such actions and all such things as are necessary or desirable
to enable and permit Coeur ULC to cause to be delivered Coeur Common Stock to
the holders of Exchangeable Shares in accordance with the Share Provisions. In
furtherance of the foregoing obligations, upon notice of any event which
requires Coeur ULC to cause to be delivered shares of Coeur Common Stock to any
holder of Exchangeable Shares, Coeur shall, in any manner deemed appropriate by
it, provide such shares or cause such shares to be provided to Coeur ULC, which
shall forthwith deliver the requisite shares of Coeur Common Stock to or to the
order of the former holder of the surrendered Exchangeable Shares. All such
shares of Coeur Common Stock shall be duly issued as fully paid, non-assessable,
free of pre-emptive rights and shall be free and clear of any lien, claim,
encumbrance, security interest or adverse claim.

5.11           CALL RIGHTS

               The Liquidation Call Right, the Redemption Call Right, the
Retraction Call Right, the Automatic Exchange Right and the Exchange Right are
hereby agreed, acknowledged, consented to and confirmed, and it is agreed and
acknowledged that such rights are granted as part of the consideration for the
obligations of Coeur under this agreement.

5.12           AUTOMATIC EXCHANGE RIGHTS

(1)     Coeur shall give the Trustee written notice of each of the following
        events (each a "COEUR LIQUIDATION EVENT") at the time set forth below:

        (a)    in the event of any determination by the board of directors of
               Coeur to institute voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding
               up proceedings with respect to Coeur or to effect any other
               distribution of assets of Coeur among its stockholders for the
               purpose of winding up its affairs, at least 60 days prior to the
               proposed effective date of such liquidation, dissolution, winding
               up or other distribution; and



<PAGE>
                                     - 15 -



        (b)    immediately, upon the earlier of (i) receipt by Coeur of notice
               of and (ii) Coeur otherwise becoming aware of any threatened or
               instituted claim, suit, petition or other proceeding with respect
               to the involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
               Coeur or to effect any other distribution of assets of Coeur
               among its stockholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs.

(2)     Immediately following receipt by the Trustee from Coeur of notice of any
        Coeur Liquidation Event contemplated by Section 5.12(1)(a) or
        5.12(1)(b), the Trustee will give notice thereof to the Beneficiaries.
        Such notice shall be provided by Coeur to the Trustee and shall include
        a brief description of the automatic exchange of Exchangeable Shares for
        shares of Coeur Common Stock provided for in Section 5.12(4) below (the
        "AUTOMATIC EXCHANGE RIGHT").

(3)     In order that the Beneficiaries will be able to participate on a pro
        rata basis with the holders of Coeur Common Stock in the distribution of
        assets of Coeur in connection with a Coeur Liquidation Event, on the
        fifth Business Day prior to the effective date (the "COEUR LIQUIDATION
        EVENT EFFECTIVE DATE") of a Coeur Liquidation Event all of the then
        outstanding Exchangeable Shares (other than Exchangeable Shares held by
        Coeur or its Subsidiaries) shall be automatically exchanged for shares
        of Coeur Common Stock. To effect such automatic exchange, Coeur shall
        purchase each Exchangeable Share outstanding on the fifth Business Day
        prior to the Coeur Liquidation Event Effective Date and held by a
        Beneficiary, and each such Beneficiary shall sell the Exchangeable
        Shares held by it at such time, for a purchase price per share equal to
        (a) the Current Market Price of a share of Coeur Common Stock on the
        fifth Business Day prior to the Coeur Liquidation Event Effective Date,
        which shall be satisfied in full by Coeur delivering to such holder one
        share of Coeur Common Stock, plus (b) the Dividend Amount, if any.

(4)     On the fifth Business Day prior to the Coeur Liquidation Event
        Effective Date, the closing of the transaction of purchase and sale
        contemplated by the automatic exchange of Exchangeable Shares for Coeur
        Common Stock shall be deemed to have occurred, and each Beneficiary
        shall be deemed to have transferred to Coeur all of such Beneficiary's
        right, title and interest in and to such Exchangeable Shares and shall
        cease to be a holder of such Exchangeable Shares and Coeur shall deliver
        or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, for delivery to such holders,
        the certificates for the number of shares of Coeur Common Stock
        deliverable upon the automatic exchange of Exchangeable Shares for Coeur
        Common Stock (which shares shall be duly issued as fully paid and
        non-assessable and shall be free and clear of any lien, claim or
        encumbrance, security interest or adverse claim) and a cheque for the
        balance, if any, of the total purchase price for such Exchangeable
        Shares and any interest on such deposit shall belong to Coeur.
        Concurrently with each such Beneficiary ceasing to be a holder of
        Exchangeable Shares, such Beneficiary shall be considered and deemed for
        all purposes to be the holder of the shares of Coeur Common Stock
        delivered to it, or to the Trustee on its behalf, pursuant to the
        automatic exchange of Exchangeable Shares for shares of Coeur Common
        Stock and the certificates held by such Beneficiary previously
        representing the Exchangeable Shares exchanged by such Beneficiary with
        Coeur pursuant to such automatic exchange shall thereafter be deemed to
        represent the shares of Coeur Common Stock delivered to such Beneficiary
        by Coeur pursuant to such automatic exchange. Upon the request of any
        Beneficiary and the surrender by such Beneficiary of Exchangeable Share
        certificates


<PAGE>
                                     - 16 -



        deemed to represent shares of Coeur Common Stock, duly endorsed in blank
        and accompanied by such instruments of transfer as Coeur may reasonably
        require, the Trustee shall deliver or cause to be delivered to such
        Beneficiary certificates representing the shares of Coeur Common Stock
        of which such Beneficiary is the holder and a cheque in payment of the
        remaining portion, if any, of the purchase price (less any amount
        required to be withheld under the Income Tax Act (Canada) or United
        States tax laws, or any provision of any federal, provincial, state ,
        local or foreign tax laws).

5.13           COEUR COMMON STOCK

               The obligations of Coeur to issue shares of Coeur Common Stock
pursuant to the Automatic Exchange Right or the Exchange Right are subject to
all applicable laws and regulatory or stock exchange requirements.

5.14           WITHHOLDING RIGHTS

               Coeur, Acquisitionco and the Trustee shall be entitled to deduct
and withhold from any consideration otherwise payable under this agreement to
any holder of Exchangeable Shares or Coeur Common Stock such amounts as Coeur,
Acquisitionco or the Trustee is required to deduct and withhold with respect to
such payment under the Income Tax Act (Canada) or United States tax laws or any
provision of provincial, state, local or foreign tax law, in each case as
amended or succeeded. The Trustee may act and rely on the advice of counsel with
respect to such matters. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such
withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes as having been paid to the
holder of the shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was
made, provided that such withheld amounts are actually remitted to the
appropriate taxing authority. To the extent that the amount so required to be
deducted or withheld from any payment to a holder exceeds the cash portion of
the consideration otherwise payable to the holder, Coeur, Acquisitionco and the
Trustee are hereby authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of such portion of
the consideration as is necessary to provide sufficient funds to Coeur,
Acquisitionco or the Trustee, as the case may be, to enable it to comply with
such deduction or withholding requirement and Coeur, Acquisitionco or the
Trustee shall notify the holder thereof and remit to such holder any unapplied
balance of the net proceeds of such sale.

                             CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

7.1            POWERS AND DUTIES OF THE TRUSTEE

(1)     The rights, powers, duties and authorities of the Trustee under this
        agreement, in its capacity as trustee of the Trust, shall include:

        (a)    receipt and deposit of the Special Voting Share from Coeur as
               trustee for and on behalf of the Beneficiaries in accordance with
               the provisions of this agreement;

        (b)    granting proxies and distributing materials to Beneficiaries as
               provided in this agreement;

        (c)    voting the Beneficiary Votes in accordance with the provisions of
               this agreement;

        (d)    receiving the grant of the Exchange Right and the Automatic
               Exchange Right from Coeur as trustee for and on behalf of the
               Beneficiaries in accordance with the provisions of this
               agreement;

        (e)    exercising the Exchange Right in accordance with the provisions
               of this agreement, and in connection therewith receiving from
               Beneficiaries any requisite documents and distributing to such
               Beneficiaries shares of Coeur Common Stock and cheques, if any,
               to which such Beneficiaries are entitled pursuant to the exercise
               of the Exchange Right;

        (f)    holding title to the Trust Estate;

        (g)    investing any moneys forming, from time to time, a part of the
               Trust Estate as provided in this agreement;

        (h)    taking action at the direction of a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries
               to enforce the obligations of Coeur and Acquisitionco under this
               agreement and under the Share Provisions; and

        (i)    taking such other actions and doing such other things as are
               specifically provided in this agreement.

(2)     In the exercise of such rights, powers, duties and authorities the
        Trustee shall have (and is granted) such incidental and additional
        rights, powers and authority not in conflict with any of the provisions
        of this agreement as the Trustee, acting in good faith and in the
        reasonable exercise of its discretion, may deem necessary, appropriate
        or desirable to effect the purpose of the Trust. Any exercise of duties
        or of discretionary rights, powers and authorities by the Trustee shall
        be final, conclusive and binding upon all persons. For greater
        certainty, the Trustee shall have only those duties as set out
        specifically in this agreement.

(3)     The Trustee in exercising its rights, powers, duties and authorities
        hereunder shall act honestly and in good faith and with a view to the
        best interests of the Beneficiaries and

<PAGE>
                                     - 18 -




        shall exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent
        trustee would exercise in comparable circumstances.

(4)     The Trustee shall not be bound to give notice or do or take any act,
        action or proceeding by virtue of the powers conferred on it hereby
        unless and until it shall be specifically required to do so under the
        terms hereof; nor shall the Trustee be required to take any notice of,
        or to do or to take any act, action or proceeding as a result of any
        default or breach of any provision hereunder, unless and until notified
        in writing of such default, which notice shall distinctly specify the
        default or breach desired to be brought to the attention of the Trustee,
        and in the absence of such notice the Trustee may for all purposes of
        this agreement conclusively assume that no default or breach has been
        made in the observance or performance of any of the representations,
        warranties, covenants, agreements or conditions contained herein.

7.2            NO CONFLICT OF INTEREST

               The Trustee represents to Coeur and Acquisitionco that at the
date of execution and delivery of this agreement there exists no material
conflict of interest in the role of the Trustee as a fiduciary hereunder and the
role of the Trustee in any other capacity. The Trustee shall, within 90 days
after it becomes aware that such material conflict of interest exists, either
eliminate such material conflict of interest or resign in the manner and with
the effect specified in Article 10. If, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions
of this Section 7.2, the Trustee has such a material conflict of interest, the
validity and enforceability of this agreement shall not be affected in any
manner whatsoever by reason only of the existence of such material conflict of
interest. If the Trustee contravenes the foregoing provisions of this Section
7.2, any interested party may apply to the Superior Court of Justice (Ontario)
for an order that the Trustee be replaced as trustee hereunder.

7.3            DEALINGS WITH TRANSFER AGENTS, REGISTRARS, ETC.

(1)     Each of Coeur and Acquisitionco irrevocably authorizes the Trustee, from
        time to time, to:

        (a)    consult, communicate and otherwise deal with the respective
               registrars and transfer agents, and with any such subsequent
               registrar or transfer agent, of the Exchangeable Shares and Coeur
               Common Stock; and

        (b)    requisition, from time to time, from any such registrar or
               transfer agent any information readily available from the records
               maintained by it which the Trustee may reasonably require for the
               discharge of its duties and responsibilities under this
               agreement.

(2)     Coeur covenants that it will supply, and will cause Coeur ULC to supply,
        the Trustee or the Transfer Agent, as the case may be, in a timely
        manner with duly executed share certificates for the purpose of
        completing the exercise from time to time of all rights to acquire Coeur
        Common Stock hereunder, under the Share Provisions and under any other
        security or commitment given to the Beneficiaries pursuant thereto, in
        each case pursuant to the provisions hereof or of the Share Provisions
        or otherwise.

        (a)    the property and funds comprising the Trust Estate as of that
               date;

        (b)    the number of exercises of the Exchange Right, if any, and the
               aggregate number of Exchangeable Shares received by the Trustee
               on behalf of Beneficiaries in consideration of the issuance and
               delivery by Coeur or Coeur ULC of shares of Coeur Common Stock in
               connection with the Exchange Right, during the calendar year
               ended on such December 31st; and

Trust appropriate United States and Canadian income tax returns and any other

and regulations of any securities exchange or other trading system through which
the Exchangeable Shares are traded. In connection therewith, the Trustee may

        authorities vested in it by this agreement at the request, order or
        direction of any Beneficiary upon such Beneficiary furnishing to the
        Trustee reasonable funding, security and indemnity against the costs,
        expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by the Trustee therein or
        thereby, provided that no Beneficiary shall be obligated to furnish to
        the Trustee any such funding, security or indemnity in connection with
        the exercise by the Trustee of any of its rights, duties, powers and
        authorities with respect to the Special Voting Share pursuant to Article
        4, subject to Section 7.15.

(2)     None of the provisions contained in this agreement shall require the
        Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial

               No Beneficiary shall have the right to institute any action, suit
or proceeding or to exercise any other remedy authorized by this agreement for

power hereunder unless the Beneficiary has requested the Trustee to take or
institute such action, suit or proceeding and furnished the Trustee with the

for the equal benefit of all Beneficiaries.

7.8            RELIANCE BY TRUSTEE UPON DECLARATIONS

               The Trustee shall not be considered to be in contravention of any

be on deposit with the Trustee or which may be in the hands of the Trustee may
be invested or reinvested in the name or under the control of the Trustee in

authorized to carry on business, the validity and enforceability of this
agreement and the Voting Rights, the Exchange Right and the other rights granted

a trust company in any province of Canada, either become so authorized or resign
in the manner and with the effect specified in Article 10.

7.15           CONFLICTING CLAIMS

(1)     If conflicting claims or demands are made or asserted with respect

        (a)    the rights of all adverse claimants with respect to the Voting
               Rights, Exchange Right or other rights subject to such
               conflicting claims or demands have been adjudicated by a final
               judgement of a court of competent jurisdiction; or

        (b)    all differences with respect to the Voting Rights, Exchange Right

               binding on all such adverse claimants, and the Trustee shall have
               been furnished with an executed copy of such agreement.

(2)     If the Trustee elects to recognize any claim or comply with any demand
        made by any such adverse claimant, it may in its discretion require such
        claimant to furnish such surety bond or other security satisfactory to
        the Trustee as it shall deem appropriate to fully indemnify it as
        between all conflicting claims or demands.

7.16           ACCEPTANCE OF TRUST

        delivered to the Trustee by Coeur or Acquisitionco pursuant hereto.

(2)     In no case shall Coeur or Acquisitionco be liable under this indemnity
        for any claim against any of the Indemnified Parties unless Coeur and
        Acquisitionco shall be notified by the Trustee of the written assertion
        of a claim or of any action commenced against the Indemnified Parties,
        promptly after any of the Indemnified Parties shall have received any
        such written assertion of a claim or shall have been served with a
        summons or other first legal process giving information as to the nature
        and basis of the claim. Subject to (ii) below, Coeur and Acquisitionco
        shall be entitled to participate at their own expense in the defence
        and, if Coeur and Acquisitionco so elect at any time after receipt of
        such notice, either of them may assume the defence of any suit brought
        to enforce any such claim. The Trustee shall have the right to employ
        separate counsel in any such suit and participate in the defence
        thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
        expense of the Trustee unless: (i) the employment of such counsel has
        been authorized by Coeur or Acquisitionco; or (ii) the named parties to
        any such suit include both the Trustee and Coeur or Acquisitionco and
        the Trustee shall have been advised by counsel acceptable to Coeur or
        Acquisitionco that there may be one or more legal defences available to
        the Trustee that are different from or in addition to those available to
        Coeur or Acquisitionco and that, in the judgement of such counsel, would
        present a conflict of interest were a joint representation to be
        undertaken (in which case Coeur and Acquisitionco shall not have the
        right to assume the defence of such suit on behalf of the Trustee but
        shall be liable to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for
        the Trustee). The indemnities contained in this Article 9 shall survive
        the termination of the Trust and the resignation or removal of the
        Trustee.

9.2            LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

               The Trustee shall not be held liable for any loss which may occur
by reason of depreciation of the value of any part of the Trust Estate or any
loss incurred on any investment of funds pursuant to this agreement, except to
the extent that such loss is attributable to the fraud, negligence,
recklessness, wilful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Trustee.

                                CHANGE OF TRUSTEE

10.1           RESIGNATION

               The Trustee, or any trustee hereafter appointed, may at any time
resign by giving written notice of such resignation to Coeur and Acquisitionco
specifying the date on which it desires to resign, provided that such notice
shall not be given less than sixty (60) days before such desired resignation
date unless Coeur and Acquisitionco otherwise agree and provided further that
such resignation shall not take effect until the date of the appointment of a
successor trustee and the acceptance of such appointment by the successor
trustee. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, Acquisitionco shall promptly
appoint a successor trustee, which shall be a corporation organized and existing
under the laws of Canada and authorized to carry on the business of a trust
company in all provinces of Canada, by written instrument in duplicate, one copy
of which shall be delivered to the resigning trustee and one copy to the
successor trustee. Failing the appointment and acceptance of a successor
trustee, a successor trustee may be appointed by order of a court of competent
jurisdiction upon application of one or more of the parties to this agreement.
If the retiring trustee is the party initiating an application for the
appointment of a successor trustee by order of a court of competent
jurisdiction, Coeur and Acquisitionco shall be jointly and severally liable to
reimburse the retiring trustee for its legal costs and expenses in connection
with same.

10.2           REMOVAL

               The Trustee, or any trustee hereafter appointed, may (provided a
successor trustee is appointed) be removed at any time on not less than 60 days'
prior notice by written instrument executed by Coeur and Acquisitionco, in
duplicate, one copy of which shall be delivered to the trustee so removed and
one copy to the successor trustee, provided that such removal shall not take
effect until the date of acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee.

10.3           SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE

               Any successor trustee appointed as provided under this agreement
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Coeur and Acquisitionco and to its
predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment. Thereupon the
resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and
such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its
predecessor under this agreement, with the like effect as if originally named as
trustee in this agreement. However, on the written request of Coeur and
Acquisitionco or of the successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall,
upon payment of any amounts then due to it pursuant to the provisions of this
agreement, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor
trustee all the rights and powers of the trustee so ceasing to act. Upon the
request of any such successor trustee, Coeur, Acquisitionco and such predecessor
trustee shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and
certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights
and powers.

10.4           NOTICE OF SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE

               Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided
herein, Coeur and Acquisitionco shall cause to be mailed notice of the
succession of such trustee hereunder to each Beneficiary specified in a List. If
Coeur or Acquisitionco shall fail to cause such notice to be mailed within 10
days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor
trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of Coeur and
Acquisitionco.

                  AMENDMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTAL TRUST AGREEMENTS

11.1           AMENDMENTS, MODIFICATIONS, ETC.

               Subject to Section 11.2 thereof, this agreement may not be

with Section 9.2 of the Share Provisions.

11.2           MINISTERIAL AMENDMENTS

               Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.1, the parties to

of:

        (a)    adding to the covenants of any or all parties hereto for the
               protection of the Beneficiaries hereunder provided that the board
               of directors of each of Acquisitionco and Coeur shall be of the
               good faith opinion (confirmed in writing by each to the Trustee)
               that such additions will not be prejudicial to the rights or
               interests of the Beneficiaries;

        (b)    making such amendments or modifications not inconsistent with
               this agreement (as confirmed in writing by Acquisitionco which
               may be relied upon by the Trustee), as may be necessary or
               desirable with respect to matters or questions which, in the good
               faith opinion of the board of directors of each of Coeur and
               Acquisitionco (confirmed in writing by each to the Trustee) and
               in the opinion of the Trustee, in reliance upon a certificate of
               Acquisitionco, having in mind the best interests of the
               Beneficiaries, it may be expedient to make, provided that such
               boards of directors (confirmed in writing by each to the Trustee)
               and the Trustee, acting in reliance upon a certificate of
               Acquisitionco, shall be of the opinion that such amendments and
               modifications will not be prejudicial to the rights or interests
               of the Beneficiaries; or

        (c)    making such changes or corrections which, on the advice of
               counsel to Coeur, Acquisitionco and the Trustee, are required for
               the purpose of curing or correcting any ambiguity or defect or
               inconsistent provision or clerical omission or mistake or
               manifest error.

pursuant to Section 2.7 or 2.8 of the Support Agreement or otherwise, as a
result of which either Coeur Common Stock or the Exchangeable Shares or both are
in any way changed, this agreement shall forthwith be amended and modified as
necessary in order that it shall apply with full force and effect, mutatis
mutandis, to all new securities into which Coeur Common Stock or the
Exchangeable Shares or both are so changed and the parties hereto shall execute
and deliver a supplemental trust agreement giving effect to and evidencing such
necessary amendments and modifications.

11.5           EXECUTION OF SUPPLEMENTAL TRUST AGREEMENTS

               Notwithstanding Section 11.1, from time to time Acquisitionco
(when authorized by a resolution of its Board of Directors), Coeur (when
authorized by a resolution of its board of directors) and the Trustee may,
subject to the provisions of these presents, and they shall, when so directed by
these presents, execute and deliver by their proper officers, trust agreements

relying upon an Officer's Certificate and opinions of counsel stating that the
execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted in this
agreement.

               of His Majesty King George V of Canada and the United Kingdom of
