      the reports that it files or submits under the U.S. Exchange Act is

      the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
      statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. Based upon the
      most recent evaluation by Primeros management, such internal control over

- 54- 

	 	(i) 	
      all the assets, liabilities (whether accrued, absolute,

      To the knowledge of First Majestic as of the date of this
      Agreement:

	 	(i) 	
      there are no material weaknesses in the design and
      implementation or maintenance of internal controls over financial
      reporting of First Majestic that are reasonably likely to adversely affect
      the ability of First Majestic to record, process, summarize and report
      financial information;

	 	 	 
	 	(ii) 	
      there is no fraud, whether or not material, that involves
      management or other employees who have a significant role in the internal
      control over financial reporting of First Majestic; and

	 	 	 
	 	(iii) 	
      First Majestic’s system of internal control over
      financial reporting is sufficient to (i) maintain records in reasonable
      detail in order to accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and

      Subsidiaries; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are

      of management and directors of First Majestic and the First Majestic
      Subsidiaries, as applicable; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance
      regarding the prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition,
      use or disposition of the assets of First Majestic or the First Majestic
      Subsidiaries that could have a material effect of First Majestic ’s

      representative of First Majestic or any of the First Majestic Material
      Subsidiaries has received or otherwise had or obtained knowledge of any
      complaint, allegation, assertion, or claim, whether written or oral,
      regarding the accounting practices, procedures, methodologies or methods
      of First Majestic or any of the First Majestic Material Subsidiaries or
      their respective internal accounting controls, including any complaint,
      allegation, assertion, or claim that First Majestic or any of the First
      Majestic Material Subsidiaries has engaged in questionable accounting
      practices.

- 55- 

	 	(d) 	
      First Majestic has no knowledge of any material
      adjustments, potential liabilities or obligations, which individually or
      in the aggregate have not been reflected in its Annual Financial
      Statements, other than liabilities, indebtedness and obligations incurred
      by First Majestic and/or the First Majestic Material Subsidiaries in the
      ordinary course of business, or as contemplated in this
  Agreement.

	 	 	 
	 	(e) 	
      First Majestic maintains a system of disclosure controls
      and procedures (as such term is defined in NI 52-109 to provide reasonable
      assurance that (i) material information relating to First Majestic is made
      known to First Majestic’s management, including its chief financial
      officer and chief executive officer, particularly during the periods in
      which First Majestic’s interim filings and annual filings (as such terms
      are defined in NI 52-109) are being prepared; and (ii) information
      required to be disclosed by First Majestic in its annual filings, interim
      filings or other reports filed or submitted by it under applicable
      securities Laws are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
      the time periods specified in applicable securities Laws.

	 	 	 
	 	(f) 	
      First Majestic maintains disclosure controls and
      procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the U.S.
      Exchange Act) to ensure that material information required to be disclosed
      by First Majestic in the reports that it files or submits under the U.S.
      Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
      time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and
      communicated to First Majestic’s management as appropriate to allow timely
      decisions regarding required disclosure, and (B) has disclosed, based on
      its most recent evaluation of such disclosure controls and procedures
      prior to the date hereof, to First Majestic’s auditors and the audit
      committee of the First Majestic Board (1) any significant deficiencies and
      material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over
      financial reporting that are reasonably likely to adversely affect in any
      material respect ability to record, process, summarize and report
      financial information and (2) any fraud, whether or not material, that
      involves management or other employees who have a significant role in
      First Majestic’s internal controls over financial reporting.

	 	 	 
	 	(g) 	
      First Majestic maintains a system of internal control
      over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under
      the U.S. Exchange Act) sufficient to provide reasonable assurances
      regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
      financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. Based
      upon the most recent evaluation by First Majestic’s management, such
      internal control over financial reporting is effective, and since the date
      of such evaluation nothing has come to the attention of First Majestic to
      lead it to believe that such internal control over financial reporting is
      no longer effective. First Majestic maintains internal controls over
      financial reporting (as such term is defined in NI 52-109). To the
      knowledge of First Majestic, such internal controls over financial
      reporting are effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the
      reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
      statements for external purposes in accordance with
IFRS.

	 	(h) 	
      Since December 31, 2016, there has been no change in

      Majestic’s internal control over financial
reporting.

thereof by any third party) under any First Majestic Material Agreement.

      requested, in writing, with the full particulars of any:

	 	(A) 	
      event occurring subsequent to the date of this Agreement
      that would render any representation or warranty of Primero contained in
      this Agreement (except any such representation or warranty which speaks as
      of a date prior to the date of this Agreement), if made on or as of the
      date of such event or the Effective Date, untrue or inaccurate in any
      material respect;

	 	 	 
	 	(B) 	
      Material Adverse Change in respect of Primero; and

	 	 	 
	 	(C)

      Primero covenants and agrees that, during the
      Pre-Effective Date Period, Primero will, and will cause each of the
      Primero Subsidiaries to consult through meetings with First Majestic, as
      First Majestic may reasonably request, to allow
  First Majestic to monitor, and provide input
with respect to the direction and control of the Business provided, for greater
certainty, that First Majestic acknowledges and agrees that any input First
Majestic provides pursuant to this Section 4.1(b) is advisory in nature and does
not create an obligation on Primero to take any action suggested by First
Majestic.

	 	(c) 	
      Primero shall perform all obligations required to be
      performed by it under this Agreement and shall do all such other acts and

      Governmental Entities for Primero or the Primero Subsidiaries and to

      without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Primero shall use
      commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy, as soon as reasonably
      possible, any requests for information and documentation received from
      First Majestic or any Governmental Entity in respect of the Antitrust
      Filing and shall coordinate and cooperate with First Majestic in
      exchanging information and supplying assistance that is reasonably
      requested by First Majestic in connection with the Antitrust
  Filing;

	 	 	 
	 	(ii) 	
      carry out the terms of the Interim Order and Final Order
      applicable to it and use commercially reasonable efforts to comply

      Arrangement;

	 	 	 
	 	(iii) 	
      use commercially reasonable efforts to defend all

      affecting this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions
      contemplated hereby;

	 	 	 
	 	(iv) 	
      use commercially reasonable efforts to have lifted or
      rescinded any injunction or restraining order or other order relating to
      it which may adversely affect the ability of the Parties to consummate the
      transactions contemplated hereby;

	 	 	 
	 	(v) 	
      on or before the Effective Date, effect all necessary
      registrations, filings, notices and submissions of information required by

      the transactions contemplated hereby;

	 	 	 
	 	(vi) 	
      in connection with the Arrangement and other transactions
      contemplated hereby, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, before
      the Effective Date, all waivers, consents and approvals required to be
      obtained by Primero or the Primero Subsidiaries
from other parties pursuant to the Primero Material Agreements;

- 64- 

	 	(vii) 	
      use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Martin
      Aguilar Villasenor and Cuauhtemoc Federico Simental Loera to enter into
      agreements in a form satisfactory to First Majestic, to transfer the
      shares which each of them owns in each of the Primero Subsidiaries to such
      Person as First Majestic may direct, effective as of the Effective Time,
      for a purchase price of $1.00 or complete such transfer through any other
      lawful transfer option provided by Mexican Laws, such as donation or
      assignment, as determined by First Majestic, acting reasonably;

	 	 	 
	 	(viii)

	 	(d) 	
      In the event that First Majestic concludes that it is
      necessary or desirable to proceed with another form of transaction (such
      as a formal take-over bid or amalgamation) whereby First Majestic or its
      affiliates would effectively acquire all of the Primero Shares within
      approximately the same time periods and on the same economic terms and
      other terms and conditions (including tax treatment) and having
      consequences to Primero and the Primero Shareholders which are equivalent
      to or better than those contemplated by this Agreement (an “Alternative
      Transaction”), Primero agrees to support the completion of such
      Alternative Transaction in the same manner as the Arrangement and shall
      otherwise fulfill its covenants contained in this Agreement in respect of
      such Alternative Transaction. In the event of any proposed Alternative
      Transaction, any reference in this Agreement to the Arrangement shall
      refer to the Alternative Transaction to the extent applicable, all terms,
      covenants, representations and warranties of this Agreement shall be and
      shall be deemed to have been made in the context of the Alternative
      Transaction and all references to time periods regarding the Arrangement,
      including the Effective Time, herein shall refer to the date of closing of
      the transactions contemplated by the Alternative Transaction (as such date
      may be extended from time to time).

	4.2 	
      Covenants of First
Majestic.

First Majestic hereby covenants and agrees:

	 	(a) 	
      to perform all obligations required to be performed by it
      under this Agreement and to do all such other acts and things as may be
      necessary or desirable in order to consummate and make effective, as soon
      as reasonably practicable, the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to:

	 	(ii)

      Material Agreements to which it or they may be a party;
  and

- 66- 

	 	(d) 	
      until the Effective Date or the earlier termination of
      this Agreement in accordance with Article 6, except (i) with the consent
      of Primero to any deviation therefrom which shall not be unreasonably
      withheld; or (ii) with respect to any matter contemplated by this
      Agreement or the Plan of Arrangement, First Majestic
  will:

	 	(i) 	
      not reorganize, amalgamate or merge First Majestic with
      any other Person, nor acquire or agree to acquire by amalgamating, merging
      or consolidating with, purchasing a majority of the voting securities of
      or substantially all of the assets of or otherwise, any business or Person
      which acquisition would reasonably be expected to materially delay the
      transactions contemplated hereby; and

	 	 	 
	 	(ii) 	
      promptly advise Primero orally and, if then requested, in
      writing with the full particulars of any:

	 	(A) 	
      event occurring subsequent to the date of this Agreement
      that would render any representation or warranty of First Majestic
      contained in this Agreement (except any such representation or warranty
      which speaks as of a date prior to the occurrence of such event), if made
      on or as of the date of such event or the Effective Date, untrue or
      inaccurate in any material respect;

	 	 	 
	 	(B) 	
      Material Adverse Change in respect of First Majestic;
      or

	 	 	 
	 	(C) 	
      breach by First Majestic of any material covenant or
      agreement contained in this Agreement.

	4.3 	
      Covenants Regarding
  Non-Solicitation.

	 	(a) 	
      Except as provided in this Agreement, Primero shall not,
      and shall cause its Representatives to not, directly or indirectly:

	 	(i) 	
      make, initiate, solicit, encourage or otherwise knowingly
      facilitate (including by way of furnishing information or according access
      to information or any site visit) any inquiry, expression of interest,
      proposal or offer that constitutes an Acquisition Proposal or that could
      reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal;

	 	 	 
	 	(ii) 	
      participate in any discussions or negotiations with any
      Person (other than First Majestic and its affiliates) regarding an
      Acquisition Proposal or that could reasonably be expected to lead to an
      Acquisition Proposal;

	 	 	 
	 	(iii) 	
      effect a Change of Recommendation; or

	 	 	 
	 	(iv) 	
      accept, enter into, or propose publicly to accept or
      enter into, any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, term sheet,
      agreement in principle, agreement, arrangement or understanding related to
      any Acquisition Proposal (except as permitted by Section
    4.4).

- 67- 

Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Section 4.3, in the event that Primero receives a
written Acquisition Proposal from any Person after the date hereof and prior to
the Primero Shareholder Meeting that was not solicited by Primero and that did
not otherwise result from a breach of this Section 4.3, and subject to Primero’s
compliance with Section 4.3(d), Primero and its Representatives may (i) contact
such Person to clarify the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal,
(ii) furnish information with respect to it to such Person pursuant to an
Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, provided that (A) Primero provides a copy
of such Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement to First Majestic promptly upon its
execution and (B) Primero contemporaneously provides to First Majestic a list of
all non-public information concerning Primero that is provided to such Person
and provides to First Majestic copies of any such non-public information which
was not previously provided to First Majestic or its Representatives, and (iii)
participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding such Acquisition
Proposal; provided, however, that, prior to taking any action described in
clauses (ii) or (iii) above, the Primero Board determines in good faith, after
consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such
Acquisition Proposal could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal
and failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties
under applicable Laws.

	 	(b) 	
      Primero shall, and shall cause its Representatives to,
      immediately cease and cause to be terminated any solicitation,
      encouragement, discussion, negotiation or other communications with any
      Person (other than First Majestic and its Representatives) conducted
      heretofore by Primero or any of its Representatives with respect to, or
      which may reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal. To
      the extent it has not already done so, Primero shall immediately
      discontinue or deny access to all parties other than First Majestic and
      its Representatives to any and all data rooms which may have been opened.
      Primero shall promptly request the return or destruction of all
      confidential non-public information provided to any third parties (other
      than First Majestic and its Representatives) who have entered into a
      confidentiality agreement with Primero relating to a potential Acquisition
      Proposal, shall use all reasonable commercial efforts to ensure that such
      requests are honoured to the extent Primero is entitled to do so under
      such confidentiality agreements.

	 	 	 
	 	(c) 	
      Primero represents and warrants that it has not waived
      any confidentiality, standstill or similar agreement or restriction to
      which Primero or a Primero Subsidiary is a party, except to permit
      submissions of expressions of interest prior to the date hereof pursuant
      to the Primero Strategic Process and Primero covenants and agrees that it
      shall:

	 	(i) 	
      not release any Persons from, or terminate, amend,
      suspend, modify, or waive any obligation of any other Person under any
      confidentiality or standstill agreement;
and

- 68- 

	 	(ii) 	
      promptly and diligently enforce all standstill,
      non-disclosure, non- disturbance, non-solicitation and similar covenants
      of any other Person in any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding,
      term sheet, agreement in principle, agreement, arrangement or
      understanding that it has entered into prior to the date hereof or enters
      into after the date hereof.

	 	(d) 	
      Primero shall promptly (and, in any event, within 24
      hours of receipt) notify First Majestic, at first orally and then in
      writing, of receipt by Primero or any Primero Subsidiary or any of their
      respective Representatives of any Acquisition Proposal (whether or not in
      writing) or any enquiry that may reasonably be expected to lead to an
      Acquisition Proposal, or any amendments to the foregoing, or any request
      for information relating to Primero in connection with an Acquisition
      Proposal or for access to the properties, books or records of Primero by
      any Person that informs Primero or its Representatives that it is
      considering making, or has made, a proposal that constitutes, or may
      reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal. Such notice
      shall include a description of the material terms and conditions of any
      proposal and the identity of the Person making such proposal, enquiry or
      contact, and a copy of any written form of Acquisition Proposal and any
      other documents representing such Acquisition Proposal. Primero
    shall:

	 	(i) 	
      keep First Majestic fully informed of the status
      including any change to the material terms of any such Acquisition
      Proposal or enquiry; and

	 	 	 
	 	(ii) 	
      provide to First Majestic as soon as practicable after
      receipt or delivery thereof with copies of all correspondence and other
      written material sent or provided to Primero from any Person in connection
      with any Acquisition Proposal or sent or provided by Primero to any Person
      in connection with any Acquisition Proposal.

	 	(e) 	
      Primero shall ensure that its Representatives are aware
      of the provisions of this Section 4.3, and it shall be responsible for any
      breach of this Section 4.3 by any such
Representatives.

	4.4 	
      Notice by Primero of Superior Proposal
      Determination.

	 	(a) 	
      Notwithstanding Section 4.3 Primero may accept, approve,
      recommend or enter into any agreement, understanding or arrangement in
      respect of an Acquisition Proposal if, and only if:

	 	(i) 	
      the Person making such Acquisition Proposal was not
      restricted from making such Acquisition Proposal pursuant to an existing
      standstill or similar restriction;

	 	 	 
	 	(ii) 	
      Primero shall have complied with all of its other
      obligations under Section 4.3;

	 	 	 
	 	(iii) 	
      such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior
      Proposal;

- 69- 

	 	(iv) 	
      the Primero Shareholder Meeting has not
  occurred;

	 	 	 
	 	(v) 	
      Primero has provided First Majestic
  with:

	 	(A) 	
      a copy of the proposed definitive agreement for such
      Superior Proposal and any other documents representing the Superior
      Proposal; and

	 	 	 
	 	(B) 	
      written notice advising First Majestic of the
      determination of the Primero Board that the Acquisition Proposal is a
      Superior Proposal and that the Primero Board has resolved, subject only to
      compliance with this Section 4.4 and termination of this Agreement, to
      accept, approve, recommend or enter into an agreement in respect of such
      Superior Proposal;

	 	(vi) 	
      five Business Days shall have elapsed from the date First
      Majestic received the documentation referred to in Section 4.4(a)(v) (the
      “Match Period”); and

	 	 	 
	 	(vii) 	
      Primero has previously or concurrently will
  have:

	 	(A) 	
      paid to First Majestic the Termination Payment, if any,
      payable under Section 6.3; and

	 	 	 
	 	(B) 	
      terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section
  6.2.

	 	(b) 	
      Any information provided by Primero to First Majestic
      pursuant to this Section 4.4 or pursuant to Section 4.3 shall be subject
      to the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement.

	 	 	 
	 	(c) 	
      During the Match Period, Primero agrees that First
      Majestic shall have the right, but not the obligation, to offer to amend
      the terms of this Agreement and Primero shall co-operate with First
      Majestic with respect thereto, including negotiating in good faith with
      First Majestic during the Match Period. The Primero Board will review in
      good faith any offer by First Majestic to amend the terms of this
      Agreement in order to determine, in consultation with its financial
      advisors and outside legal counsel, whether First Majestic’s offer upon
      acceptance by Primero would result in such Acquisition Proposal ceasing to
      be a Superior Proposal. Primero agrees that, subject to its disclosure
      obligations under applicable Securities Laws, the fact of the making of,
      and each of the terms of, any such proposed amendments shall be kept
      strictly confidential and shall not be disclosed to any Person (including
      without limitation, the Person having made the Superior Proposal), other
      than Primero’s Representatives, without First Majestic’s prior written
      consent. If the Primero Board determines that such Acquisition Proposal
      would cease to be a Superior Proposal as a result of the amendments
      proposed by First Majestic, Primero will forthwith so advise First
      Majestic and will promptly thereafter accept the offer by First Majestic
      to amend the terms of this Agreement and the Arrangement and the Parties
      agree to take such actions and execute such documents as are necessary to give
effect to the foregoing. Primero will, within two Business Days of entering into
such amendment, reaffirm its recommendation of the Arrangement and issue a press
release to that effect. If the Primero Board continues to believe, in good faith
and after consultation with financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that
such Acquisition Proposal remains a Superior Proposal and therefore rejects
First Majestic’s amended proposal, Primero may terminate this Agreement pursuant
to Section 6.2(a)(iv) . 

- 70- 

	 	(d) 	
      The Primero Board shall reaffirm its recommendation of
      the Arrangement by press release: (i) promptly after any Acquisition
      Proposal (which is determined not to be a Superior Proposal) is publicly
      announced or made; or (ii) promptly after the Primero Board determines
      that a proposed amendment to the provisions of this Agreement would result
      in the Acquisition Proposal not being a Superior Proposal. First Majestic
      and its legal advisors shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review
      and comment on the form and content of any such press release and Primero
      shall incorporate all reasonable comments made by First Majestic and its
      legal advisors.

	 	 	 
	 	(e) 	
      If, less than six Business Days before the Primero
      Shareholder Meeting, Primero has provided First Majestic with a notice
      under Section 4.4(a)(v), an Acquisition Proposal has been publicly
      disclosed or announced and the Match Period has not elapsed, then, subject
      to applicable Laws, at First Majestic’s request, Primero will postpone or
      adjourn the Primero Shareholder Meeting to a date acceptable to First
      Majestic and Primero, acting reasonably, which shall not be less than six
      Business Days and not more than 12 Business Days after the scheduled date
      of the Primero Shareholder Meeting and shall, in the event that First
      Majestic and Primero amend the terms of this Agreement pursuant to this
      Section 4.4, ensure that the details of such amended Agreement are
      communicated to the Primero Shareholders at or prior to the resumption of
      the adjourned Primero Shareholder Meeting.

	 	 	 
	 	(f) 	
      Primero acknowledges and agrees that each successive
      modification to any material terms or conditions of any Acquisition
      Proposal or that results in an increase in or modification of the
      consideration (or value of such consideration) to be received by Primero
      or the Primero Shareholders or which otherwise results in the Primero
      Board determining that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal
      shall constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of the
      requirement under Section 4.4(a)(vi) to initiate an additional five
      Business Day Match Period.

	 	 	 
	 	(g) 	
      Nothing contained in this Section 4.4 shall prohibit the
      Primero Board from:

	 	(i) 	
      responding through a directors’ circular or otherwise as
      required by Law to an Acquisition Proposal that it determines is not a
      Superior Proposal; or

	 	 	 
	 	(ii) 	
      calling and/or holding a meeting of Primero Shareholders
      requisitioned by Primero Shareholders in accordance with the Business
      Corporations Act or taking any other action with
respect to an Acquisition Proposal to the extent ordered or otherwise mandated
by a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Law.

- 71- 

	4.5 	
      Access to Information.

Subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement and
applicable Laws, upon reasonable notice, Primero shall afford First Majestic’s
Representatives access, during normal business hours in the Interim Period to
such properties, books, contracts and records and other documents, information
or data relating to Primero and the Primero Subsidiaries which First Majestic or
its Representatives deem necessary or advisable to review in making an
examination of Primero, the Primero Subsidiaries and the Business, as well as to
its management personnel, and, during such period, Primero shall furnish to
First Majestic all information concerning Primero, the Primero Subsidiaries and
their respective Business, properties and personnel as First Majestic or its
Representatives may reasonably request.

	4.6 	
      Covenant Regarding Representations and
      Warranties.

Each of Primero and First Majestic covenants that it will use
commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the representations and
warranties given by it and contained in Article 3 are true and correct on and as
at the Effective Date (except as affected by transactions contemplated or
permitted by this Agreement or otherwise consented to by the other Party) or if
not true, do not have a Material Adverse Effect on such Party. 

	4.7 	
      Indemnification, Insurance and Mutual
    Releases.

	 	(a) 	
      First Majestic hereby covenants and agrees that, unless
      prohibited by applicable Laws, all rights to indemnification or
      exculpation in favour of the current and former directors and officers of
      Primero and any Primero Subsidiary provided in the current articles or
      by-laws (or the equivalent) of Primero or any Primero Subsidiary, or in
      any agreement to the extent disclosed in Schedule 4.7 to the Primero
      Disclosure Letter, and any directors’ and officers’ insurance now existing
      in favour of the directors or officers of Primero and any Primero
      Subsidiary shall survive the completion of the Arrangement (or be replaced
      with substantially equivalent coverage from another provider of at least
      equivalent standing to the current provider) and shall continue in full
      force and effect (either directly or via run-off insurance or insurance
      provided by an alternative provider of at least equivalent standing to the
      current provider) for a period of not less than six years from the
      Effective Date and First Majestic undertakes to ensure that this covenant
      shall remain binding upon its successors and assigns. First Majestic
      acknowledges that Primero may purchase run-off directors’ and officers’
      liability insurance, at a cost not exceeding 200% of Primero’s current
      annual aggregate premium for directors’ and officers’ liability policies
      currently maintained by Primero, providing coverage for a period of up to
      six years from the Effective Date with respect to claims arising from or
      related to facts or events which occur on or prior to the Effective
      Date.

- 72- 

	 	(b) 	
      Primero shall act as agent and trustee of the benefits of
      the foregoing for its directors and officers and those of the Primero
      Subsidiaries for the purpose of this Section 4.7 and this Section 4.7
      shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
      completion of the Arrangement and shall be enforceable against First
      Majestic by the Persons described in Section 4.7(a) hereof.

	 	 	 
	 	(c) 	
      First Majestic and Primero shall use commercially
      reasonable efforts to enter into a mutual release on or before the
      Effective Date with each director and officer of Primero and each of the
      Primero Subsidiaries, each such release to be effective as at the
      Effective Time and in a form acceptable to First Majestic and Primero,
      acting reasonably.

	4.8 	
      Pre-Acquisition
Reorganizations.

	 	(a) 	
      Primero will use commercially reasonable efforts to
      effect such reorganization of its business, operations, subsidiaries and
      assets or such other transactions (each, a “Pre-Acquisition
      Reorganization”) as First Majestic may reasonably request prior to the
      Effective Date, and the Arrangement, if required, will be modified
      accordingly; provided, however, that Primero need not effect a
      Pre-Acquisition Reorganization which would impede or materially delay the
      consummation of the Arrangement.

	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      Without limiting the foregoing and other than as set
      forth in paragraph (a) above, First Majestic will use its commercially
      reasonable efforts to obtain all necessary consents, approvals or waivers
      from any persons to effect each Pre-Acquisition Reorganization, and
      Primero will cooperate with First Majestic in structuring, planning and
      implementing any such Pre-Acquisition Reorganization. First Majestic must
      provide written notice to Primero of any proposed Pre-Acquisition
      Reorganization at least fifteen Business Days prior to the date of the
      Primero Shareholder Meeting. In addition:

	 	(i) 	
      any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization will not become
      effective unless the Parties will have confirmed in writing the
      satisfaction or waiver of all conditions in their favour set forth in
      Article 5 and will have confirmed in writing that they are prepared to
      promptly and without condition proceed to effect the
Arrangement;

	 	 	 
	 	(ii) 	
      any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization will be effective as
      close as reasonably practical to the Effective Date and, in any event,
      after all Regulatory Approvals are obtained;

	 	 	 
	 	(iii) 	
      any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization will not prejudice
      Primero or the Primero Shareholders in any material respect;

	 	 	 
	 	(iv) 	
      any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization will not require
      Primero to obtain the approval of the Primero Shareholders or the Primero
      Debentureholders;

- 73- 

	 	(v) 	
      unless the Parties otherwise agree, any Pre-Acquisition
      Reorganization will not require any filings with, notifications to or
      approvals of any Governmental Authority or third party;

	 	 	 
	 	(vi) 	
      any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization will not require
      Primero to contravene any applicable Laws, its organizational documents or
      any Primero Material Agreement; and

	 	 	 
	 	(vii) 	
      Primero will not be obligated to take any action that
      could result in any Taxes being imposed on, or any adverse Tax or other
      consequences to, any Primero Shareholder or holder of Primero Convertible
      Securities greater than the Taxes or more onerous than the other
      consequences to such party in connection with the consummation of the
      Arrangement in the absence of any Pre-Acquisition
  Reorganization.

	 	(c) 	
      Primero and First Majestic acknowledge and agree that the
      planning for and implementation of any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization will
      not be considered a breach of any covenant under this Agreement and will
      not be considered in determining whether a representation or warranty of
      Primero hereunder has been breached (including where any such
      Pre-Acquisition Reorganization requires the consent of any third party
      under contract). First Majestic and Primero will work cooperatively and
      use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare prior to the Effective Time
      all documentation necessary and do such other acts and things as are
      necessary to give effect to such Pre-Acquisition Reorganization. For
      greater certainty, Primero will not be liable for the failure of First
      Majestic to benefit from any anticipated Tax efficiency as a result of a
      Pre-Acquisition Reorganization.

	 	 	 
	 	(d) 	
      First Majestic agrees that it will be responsible for all
      costs and expenses associated with any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization to
      be carried out at its request and shall indemnify and save harmless
      Primero and its affiliates from and against any and all liabilities,
      losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest awards, judgements and
      penalties suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with or as a
      result of any such Pre-Acquisition Reorganization (including in respect of
      any reversal, modification or termination of a Pre-Acquisition
      Reorganization).

	4.9 	
      Convertible
Debentures.

	 	(a) 	
      Primero shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
      obtain, prior to the Effective Date, the approval of the Primero
      Debentureholders to the Primero Debentureholder Resolution.

	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      Primero shall call and hold the Primero Debentureholder
      Meeting and prepare the Debentureholder Circular in accordance with its
      obligations regarding the Primero Shareholder Meeting and Shareholder
      Circular in Sections 2.3 and 2.4, mutatis mutandis including, for
      greater certainty soliciting proxies from Primero Debentureholders in
      connection with the Primero Debenture Meeting
and disclosing to the Primero
Debentureholders that the Primero Board has determined that the Debentureholder
Proposal is fair to the Primero Debentureholders and recommending that the
Primero Debentureholders vote in favour of the Primero Debentureholder
Resolution, with the exception that: 

- 74- 

	 	(i) 	
      the Primero Debentureholder Meeting shall not form part
      of the Plan of Arrangement or the Interim Order;

	 	 	 
	 	(ii) 	
      the Primero Debentureholder Meeting shall occur
      immediately following the Primero Shareholder Meeting; and

	 	 	 
	 	(iii) 	
      the Primero Debentureholder Meeting shall be convened and
      conducted in accordance with the Primero
Indenture.

	 	(c) 	
      First Majestic hereby covenants that, to the extent that
      any Primero Debentures remain outstanding following the Effective Time, it
      shall comply with, or cause Primero to comply with, as applicable, the
      terms and provisions of the Primero Indenture.

	4.10 	
      Assistance with First Majestic
      Financing.

Primero shall, and shall cause each of the Primero
Subsidiaries to, provide such cooperation to First Majestic as First Majestic
may reasonably request in connection with the First Majestic Financing (provided
that such request is made on reasonable notice, including (and subject to the
foregoing), as so requested: 

	 	(a) 	
      reasonably cooperating with the marketing efforts of
      First Majestic and participating (and use reasonable commercial efforts to
      cause members of senior management of Primero to participate) in a
      reasonable number of meetings with actual or prospective investors, road
      shows, due diligence sessions, drafting sessions and sessions with rating
      agencies in connection with the First Majestic Financing;

	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain customary
      auditors’ consents and comfort letters (including “negative assurance”
      comfort), including, for the avoidance of doubt, any customary letters
      from Primero’s auditors, as reasonably requested by First Majestic as
      necessary and customary (including, without limitation, any offering of
      debt securities pursuant to the exemption from the registration
      requirements of the U.S. Securities Act provided by Rule 144A thereunder
      or under another exemption therefrom);

	 	 	 
	 	(c) 	
      assisting First Majestic in the preparation of any
      offering documents, private placement memoranda, bank information
      memoranda and similar documents; and

	 	 	 
	 	(d) 	
      obtaining customary authorization and representation
      letters requested by financing sources for the First Majestic Financing,
      which authorization letter, in part, authorizes the distribution of
      information to prospective lenders or
investors.

      been obtained in form and terms satisfactory to each of Primero and First
      Majestic, acting reasonably, and shall not have been set aside or modified
      in a manner unacceptable to either Party, acting reasonably, on appeal or
      otherwise;

	 	 	 
	 	(c) 	
      no Law is in effect that makes the consummation of the
      Arrangement illegal or otherwise prohibits or enjoins Primero or First
      Majestic from consummating the Arrangement;

      the Consideration Shares, the First Majestic Shares
      issuable upon exercise of the Replacement Options from time to time, the
      First Majestic Shares issuable upon exercise of the Primero Warrants from
      time to time and the First Majestic Shares issuable upon conversion of the
      Primero Debentures from time to time, shall have been authorized for
      listing on the TSX and the NYSE, subject to official notice of issuance,
      provided that First Majestic shall not be required to obtain any such

      Replacement Options will be exempt from the registration requirements of
      the U.S. Securities Act pursuant to the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption, and

      any applicable jurisdiction; and

	 	 	 
	 	(f) 	
      the Antitrust Clearance shall have been
  obtained.

	5.2 	
      Additional Conditions Precedent to the Obligations of
      First Majestic.

The obligations of First Majestic to complete the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement shall also be subject to the satisfaction, on or
before the Effective Date, of each of the following conditions precedent (each of which is for the exclusive
benefit of First Majestic and may be waived by First Majestic):  

- 76- 

	 	(a) 	
      all covenants and agreements of Primero under this
      Agreement to be performed or observed on or before the Effective Date
      shall have been duly performed and observed by Primero in all material
      respects and First Majestic shall have received a certificate of Primero
      addressed to First Majestic and dated the Effective Date, signed on behalf
      of Primero by two directors or senior executive officers of Primero,
      confirming the same as at the Effective Date;

	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      (i) the representations and warranties of Primero in
      Sections 3.1.1, 3.1.2, 3.1.3, and 3.1.4 shall be true and correct in all
      material respects as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Effective
      Date as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent such
      representations and warranties speak as of a specified date which is
      earlier than the date of this Agreement, in which event such
      representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects
      as of such earlier specified date, or except as affected by transactions
      contemplated or permitted by this Agreement or otherwise consented to by
      First Majestic); and (ii) the representations and warranties of Primero
      set forth in Section 3.1 (other than those referenced in clause (i) above)
      shall be true and correct in all material respects (it being understood
      that, for the purposes of determining the accuracy of such representations
      and warranties, all “Material Adverse Effect” qualifications and other
      materiality qualifications contained in such representations and
      warranties shall be disregarded) as of the date of this Agreement and as
      of the Effective Date as if made on and as of such date (except to the
      extent such representations and warranties speak as of a specified date
      which is earlier than the date of this Agreement, in which event such
      representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material
      respects as of such earlier specified date, or except as affected by
      transactions contemplated or permitted by this Agreement or otherwise
      consented to by First Majestic), except where any failure or failures of
      such representations and warranties referenced in this clause (ii) to be
      so true and correct would not, individually or in the aggregate,
      reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect on Primero,
      and First Majestic shall have received a certificate of Primero addressed
      to First Majestic and dated the Effective Date, signed on behalf of
      Primero by two directors or senior executive officers of Primero,
      confirming the same as at the Effective Date;

	 	 	 
	 	(c) 	
      between the date hereof and the Effective Date, there
      shall not have occurred a Material Adverse Change to Primero;

	 	 	 
	 	(d) 	
      holders of more than 10% of the issued and outstanding
      Primero Shares shall not have exercised the Dissent Rights in respect of
      the Arrangement;

	 	 	 
	 	(e) 	
      there shall not be pending or threatened any suit, action
      or proceeding by any Governmental Entity, in each case that has a
      reasonable likelihood of success:

- 77- 

	 	(i) 	
      seeking to restrain or prohibit the consummation of the
      Plan of Arrangement or any of the transactions contemplated by this
      Agreement or seeking to obtain from any of the Parties any damages that
      are material in relation to Primero;

	 	 	 
	 	(ii) 	
      seeking to prohibit or materially limit the ownership or
      operation by First Majestic or any of the First Majestic Material
      Subsidiaries of any material portion of the business or assets of Primero
      or any Primero Subsidiary or to compel First Majestic or any of the First
      Majestic Material Subsidiaries to dispose of or hold separate any material
      portion of the business or assets of Primero or any Primero
    Subsidiary;

	 	 	 
	 	(iii) 	
      seeking to impose limitations on the ability of First
      Majestic to acquire or hold or exercise full rights of ownership of any
      Primero Shares, including the right to vote the Primero Shares on all
      matters properly presented to the shareholders of Primero; or

	 	 	 
	 	(iv) 	
      which otherwise is reasonably likely to have a Material
      Adverse Effect on Primero or First Majestic, except as referred to in
      Schedule 5.2 of the Primero Disclosure Letter;

	 	(f) 	
      all consents, approvals, authorizations and waivers set
      forth in Schedule 5.2 of the Primero Disclosure Letter, shall have been
      obtained or received on terms which are acceptable to First Majestic,
      acting reasonably; and

	 	 	 
	 	(g) 	
      Primero shall have provided to First Majestic, on or
      before the Effective Date, written resignations and mutual releases
      effective as of the Effective Time, from all directors and officers of
      Primero and such directors and officers of the Primero Subsidiaries as
      First Majestic may request.

First Majestic may not rely on the failure to satisfy any of
the above conditions precedent as a basis for non-compliance by it with its
obligations under this Agreement if the condition precedent would have been
satisfied but for a material failure by First Majestic in complying with its
obligations hereunder. 

	5.3 	
      Additional Conditions Precedent to the Obligations of
      Primero.

The obligations of Primero to complete the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement shall also be subject to the satisfaction, on or
before the Effective Date, of each of the following conditions precedent (each
of which is for the exclusive benefit of Primero and may be waived by Primero):

	 	(a) 	
      all covenants and agreements of First Majestic under this
      Agreement to be performed or observed on or before the Effective Date
      shall have been duly performed by First Majestic in all material respects
      and Primero shall have received a certificate of First Majestic addressed
      to Primero and dated the Effective Date, signed on behalf of First
      Majestic by two senior executive officers of First Majestic confirming the
      same as at the Effective Date;

- 78- 

	 	(b) 	
      (i) the representations and warranties of First Majestic
      in Sections 3.2.1, 3.2.2, 3.2.3 and 3.2.4 shall be true and correct in all
      material respects as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Effective
      Date as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent such
      representations and warranties speak as of a specified date which is
      earlier than the date of this Agreement, in which event such
      representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material
      respects as of such earlier specified date, or except as affected by
      transactions contemplated or permitted by this Agreement or otherwise
      consented to by Primero); and (ii) the representations and warranties of
      First Majestic set forth in Section 3.2 (other than those references in
      clause (i) above) shall be true and correct in all material respects (it
      being understood that, for the purposes of determining the accuracy of
      such representations and warranties, all “Material Adverse Effect”
      qualifications and other materiality qualifications contained in such
      representations and warranties shall be disregarded) as of the date of
      this Agreement and as of Effective Date as if made on and as of such date
      (except to the extent such representations and warranties speak as of a
      specified date which is earlier than the date of this Agreement, in which
      event such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all
      material respects as of such earlier specified date, or except as affected
      by transactions contemplated or permitted by this Agreement), except where
      any failure or failures of such representations and warranties referenced
      in this clause (ii) to be so true and correct would not, individually or
      in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
      Effect on First Majestic, and Primero shall have received a certificate of
      First Majestic addressed to Primero and dated the Effective Date, signed
      on behalf of First Majestic by two senior executive officers of First
      Majestic confirming the same as at the Effective Date; and

	 	 	 
	 	(c) 	
      between the date hereof and the Effective Date, there
      shall not have occurred a Material Adverse Change to First
  Majestic.

Primero may not rely on the failure to satisfy any of the above
conditions precedent as a basis for non-compliance by Primero with its
obligations under this Agreement if the condition precedent would have been
satisfied but for a material failure by Primero in complying with its
obligations hereunder. 

	5.4 	
      Notice and Cure
  Provisions.

Each Party will give prompt notice to the other of the
occurrence, or failure to occur, at any time from the date hereof until the
Effective Date, of any event or state of facts which occurrence or failure
would, or would be reasonably likely to: 

	 	(a) 	
      cause any of the representations or warranties of such
      Party contained herein to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect
      between the date hereof and the Effective Date;

	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      result in the failure to comply with or satisfy any
      covenant or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by such Party
      hereunder prior to the Effective Date; or

- 79- 

	 	(c) 	
      result in the failure to satisfy any of the conditions
      precedent in favour of the other Party hereto contained in Section 5.1,
      5.2 and 5.3, as the case may be.

Subject as herein provided, a Party may elect not to complete
the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to the conditions precedent
contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 in favour of such Party, or exercise any
termination right arising therefrom, if forthwith, and in any event prior to the
Effective Date, such Party has delivered a written notice to the other
specifying in reasonable detail all breaches of covenants, representations and
warranties or other matters which the Party delivering such notice is asserting
as the basis for the non-fulfillment of the applicable condition precedent or
the exercise of the termination right, as the case may be. If any such notice is
delivered and the Party receiving such notice is proceeding diligently to cure
such matter, if such matter is susceptible to being cured, the Party delivering
such notice may not terminate this Agreement until the earlier of the Outside
Date and the expiration of a period of ten Business Days from such notice. If
such notice has been delivered prior to the date of the Primero Shareholder
Meeting, such meeting shall be postponed until the expiry of such period. If
such notice has been delivered prior to the making of the application for the
Final Order, such application shall be postponed until the expiry of such
period. For greater certainty, in the event that such matter is cured within the
time period referred to herein, this Agreement may not be terminated as a result
of such matter.

	5.5 	
      Satisfaction of
  Conditions.

The conditions precedent set out in Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3
shall be conclusively deemed to have been satisfied, waived or released when,
with the approval of First Majestic and Primero, the Arrangement is completed.

ARTICLE 6 
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION 

	6.1 	
      Amendment.

This Agreement may, at any time and from time to time before or
after the holding of the Primero Shareholder Meeting but not later than the
Effective Date, be amended by mutual written agreement of the Parties hereto
provided, however, that any such change, waiver or modification does not
invalidate any required approval of the Primero Shareholders to the Arrangement.

	6.2 	
      Termination.

	 	(a) 	
      This Agreement may, at any time before or after the
      holding of the Primero Shareholder Meeting but not later than the
      Effective Date:

	 	(i) 	
      be terminated by the mutual agreement of Primero and
      First Majestic;

	 	 	 
	 	(ii) 	
      be terminated by either Primero or First Majestic,
    if:

- 80- 

	 	(A) 	
      the Primero Shareholder Meeting is held and the
      Arrangement Resolution is not approved by the Primero Shareholders in
      accordance with applicable Laws and the Interim Order;

	 	 	 
	 	(B) 	
      there shall be passed any Law that makes consummation of
      the transactions contemplated by this Agreement illegal or otherwise
      prohibited or if any Governmental Entity shall have issued any injunction,
      order, decree or ruling enjoining First Majestic or Primero from
      consummating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such
      injunction, order, decree or ruling shall become final and
      non-appealable;

	 	 	 
	 	(C) 	
      subject to Section 5.4, the other Party is in default of
      a covenant or obligation hereunder such that the conditions contained in
      Section 5.2(a) or 5.3(a), as applicable, would be incapable of
      satisfaction, provided the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement is
      not then in breach of this Agreement so as to cause any condition in
      favour of all Parties or in favour of the other Party not to be
      satisfied;

	 	 	 
	 	(D) 	
      subject to Section 5.4, any representation or warranty of
      the other Party under this Agreement is untrue or incorrect and shall have
      become untrue or incorrect such that the condition contained in Section
      5.2(b) or 5.3(b), as applicable, would be incapable of satisfaction,
      provided that the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement is not then in
      breach of this Agreement so as to cause any condition in favour of both
      Parties or in favour of the other Party not to be satisfied; or

	 	 	 
	 	(E) 	
      the Effective Time does not occur on or prior to the
      Outside Date, provided that a Party may not terminate this Agreement
      pursuant to this Section 6.2(a)(ii)(E) if the failure of the Effective
      Time to so occur has been principally caused by, or is a result of, a
      breach by such Party of any of its representations or warranties or the
      failure of such Party to perform any of its covenants or agreements under
      this Agreement;

	 	(iii) 	
      be terminated by First Majestic
if:

	 	(A) 	
      Primero shall have effected a Change of
      Recommendation;

	 	 	 
	 	(B) 	
      Primero breaches any of the provisions of Section 4.3 or
      Section 4.4; or

	 	 	 
	 	(C) 	
      a Material Adverse Effect has occurred with respect to
      Primero; or

	 	(iv) 	
      be terminated by Primero:

- 81-

      representations and warranties and any non-performance by it of its
      covenants made herein.

	6.3

      an Acquisition Proposal is publicly announced or made to the Primero
      Shareholders and is not publicly withdrawn prior to the earlier of the
      date of the Primero Shareholder Meeting and the date of such termination;

then in any such case Primero shall
pay to First Majestic by wire transfer the Termination Payment in immediately
available funds to an account designated by First Majestic. Such payment shall

	 	(iv) 	
      in the case of a termination specified in clause (i),

- 82- 

	 	(vi) 	
      in the case of a termination specified in clause (iii),
      concurrent with the consummation of any Acquisition
  Proposal.

For the purposes of this section, the
term “Acquisition Proposal” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in
Section 1.1, except that references to “20%” shall be deemed to be references to
“50%”. 

	 	(b) 	
      For greater certainty, Primero shall not be obligated to
      make more than one payment pursuant to Section 6.3(a).

	 	 	 
	 	(c) 	
      If First Majestic shall terminate this Agreement pursuant
      to Section 6.2(a)(ii)(D) provided that First Majestic is not in default of
      a covenant or obligation hereunder so as to cause any condition in favour
      of both Parties or in favour of Primero not to be satisfied, then Primero
      shall pay to First Majestic an expense reimbursement fee of $2,000,000
      within five Business Days after written notice of termination by First
      Majestic.

	 	 	 
	 	(d) 	
      If Primero shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to
      Section 6.2(a)(ii)(D) provided that Primero is not in default of a
      covenant or obligation hereunder so as to cause any condition in favour of
      both Parties or in favour of First Majestic not to be satisfied, then
      First Majestic shall pay to Primero an expense reimbursement fee of
      $2,000,000 within five Business Days after written notice of termination
      by Primero.

	6.4 	
      Liquidated Damages.

Primero and First Majestic acknowledge that the damages set
forth in this Article 6 are a genuine pre-estimate of the damages, including
opportunity costs, the other Party will suffer or incur as a result of the event
giving rise to those damages and are not penalties. Each of the Parties
irrevocably waives any right it may have to raise as a defence in any
proceedings that any such damages are excessive or punitive. 

	6.5 	
      Remedies.

Subject to Section 6.6, the Parties hereto acknowledge and
agree that an award of money damages would be inadequate for any breach of this
Agreement by any Party or its Representatives and any such breach would cause
the non-breaching Party irreparable harm. Accordingly, the Parties hereto agree
that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by one
of the Parties, the non-breaching Party will also be entitled, without the
requirement of posting a bond or other security, to equitable relief, including
injunctive relief and specific performance. Such remedies will not be the
exclusive remedies for any breach of this Agreement but will be in addition to
all other remedies available at law or equity to the Parties. 

	6.6 	
      Effects of Termination Payment or Expense
      Reimbursement.

For greater certainty, the Parties agree that the payment of
the amount pursuant to Section 6.3 is the sole monetary remedy as a result of
the occurrence of any of the events referred to in Section 6.3. Subject to the
immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude a Party from seeking damages in respect of losses incurred or
suffered by such Party as a result of any breach of this Agreement by the other
Party, seeking injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach of
the covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement or the Confidentiality
Agreement or otherwise, or seeking specific performance of any of such covenants
or agreements, without the necessity of posting bond or security in connection
therewith.

Covered Persons their direct rights against it under Section 4.7 of this
Agreement, which are intended for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by,
each Covered Person, his or her heirs and his or her legal representatives, and

	7.8 	
      Severability.

If any provision of this Agreement is determined by any court
of competent jurisdiction to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be
severed from this Agreement and the remaining provisions will continue in full

the event the Arrangement becomes effective, to document or evidence any of the

	7.11 	
      Injunctive Relief.

The Parties agree that irreparable harm would occur in the
event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in

ARRANGEMENT

2.1                                       Arrangement Agreement.This Plan of Arrangement is made pursuant to, is
subject to the provisions of and forms a part of the Arrangement Agreement,
except in respect of the sequence of the steps comprising the Arrangement, which
shall occur in the order set forth herein. 

2.2                                       Binding Effect.This Plan of Arrangement will become effective at, and be
binding at and after, the Effective Time on:

	 	(a) 	
      Primero and its applicable subsidiaries;

	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      the Primero Shareholders;

	 	 	 
	 	(c) 	
      the Primero Optionholders;

	 	 	 
	 	(d) 	
      the Primero Warrantholders;

	 	 	 
	 	(e) 	
      All persons who were immediately prior to the Effective
      Time holders or beneficial owners of Primero PSUs or Primero
  DSUs;

	 	 	 
	 	(f) 	
      First Majestic; and

	 	 	 
	 	(g) 	
      the Depositary.

2.3                                       Arrangement.Commencing at the Effective Time, the following shall occur and
shall be deemed to occur in the following sequence, in each case effective as at
one minute intervals starting at the Effective Time, without any further act or
formality:

	 	(a) 	
      each Primero Share held by a Dissenting Shareholder in
      respect of which the Primero Shareholder has validly exercised his, her or
      its Dissent Rights shall be deemed to be transferred and assigned by such
      Dissenting Shareholder, without any further act or formality on its part,
      to First Majestic (free and clear of any liens, charges and encumbrances
      of any nature whatsoever) in accordance with, and for the consideration
      set forth in, Section 3.1;

	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      each Primero Share (other than any Primero Share held by
      any Dissenting Shareholder) will, without further act or formality and by
      or on behalf of a holder of Primero Shares, be irrevocably assigned and
      transferred by the holder thereof to First Majestic (free and clear of any
      liens, charges and encumbrances of any nature whatsoever) in exchange for
      such number of First Majestic Shares as is equal to the Exchange Ratio for
      each Primero Share held;

	 	 	 
	 	(c) 	
      with respect to each Primero Share transferred and
      assigned in accordance with Section 2.3(a) or Section
  2.3(b):

- 6 - 

	 	(i) 	
      the registered holder thereof shall cease to be the
      registered holder of such Primero Share and the name of such registered
      holder shall be removed from the register of Primero Shareholders as of
      the Effective Time;

	 	 	 
	 	(ii) 	
      the registered holder thereof shall be deemed to have
      executed and delivered all consents, releases, assignments and waivers,
      statutory or otherwise, required to transfer and assign such Primero
      Share; and

	 	 	 
	 	(iii) 	
      First Majestic will be the holder of all of the
      outstanding Primero Shares and the register of Primero Shareholders shall
      be revised accordingly;

	 	(d) 	
      each Primero Option which is outstanding and has not been
      duly exercised prior to the Effective Time (whether vested or unvested),
      notwithstanding the terms of the Primero Option Plan, shall be deemed to
      be unconditionally vested and exercisable in full, and such Primero Option
      will be exchanged for an option (each, a “Replacement Option”) to
      purchase from First Majestic such number of First Majestic Shares as is
      equal to the Exchange Ratio (and when aggregated with the other similar
      Replacement Options of a holder of such options resulting in a fraction of
      a First Majestic Share, they shall all be rounded down to the nearest
      whole number of First Majestic Shares). Each Replacement Option shall
      provide for an exercise price per First Majestic Share (rounded up to the
      nearest whole cent) equal to the exercise price per Primero Share that
      would otherwise be payable pursuant to the Primero Option it replaces,
      divided by the Exchange Ratio. All other terms and conditions of the
      Replacement Options, including the term to expiry, conditions to and
      manner of exercising, will remain the same and shall be governed by the
      terms of the Primero Option Plan and any certificate or option agreement
      previously evidencing the Primero Option shall thereafter evidence and be
      deemed to evidence such Replacement Option. It is intended that subsection
      7(1.4) of the ITA apply to such exchange of options. Accordingly, and
      notwithstanding the foregoing, if required, the exercise price of a
      Replacement Option will be increased such that the In The Money Amount of
      the Replacement Option immediately after the exchange does not exceed the
      In The Money Amount of the Primero Option immediately before the
      exchange;

	 	 	 
	 	(e) 	
      in accordance with the terms of the Primero Warrant
      Indenture:

	 	(i) 	
      each holder of a Primero Warrant outstanding immediately
      prior to the Effective Time shall receive (and such holder shall accept),
      upon the exercise of such holder’s Primero Warrant, in lieu of each
      Primero Share to which such holder was theretofore entitled, such number
      of First Majestic Shares as is equal to the Exchange Ratio (and when
      aggregated with an exercise of other similar Primero Warrants resulting in
      a fraction of a First Majestic Share, they all shall be rounded down to
      nearest whole number of First Majestic Shares) provided, however, the
      exercise price per First Majestic Share shall be equal to the current
      exercise price per Primero Share divided by the Exchange Ratio;
  and

- 7 - 

	 	(ii) 	
      each Primero Warrant shall continue to be governed by and
      be subject to the terms of the Primero Warrant Indenture and any
      applicable supplemental indenture executed
thereunder;

	 	(f) 	
      notwithstanding any vesting or other provisions to which
      a Primero PSU or Primero DSU might otherwise be subject (whether by
      contract, the conditions of a grant, applicable laws or the terms of the
      Primero PSU Plan or Primero DSU Plan):

	 	(i) 	
      each Primero PSU and Primero DSU that is issued and
      outstanding at the Effective Time shall, without any further action by or
      on behalf of any holder of such Primero PSU or Primero DSU, as applicable,
      be deemed to be fully vested and will be deemed to be payable in full and
      Primero shall deliver to the holder thereof for each Primero PSU or
      Primero DSU held by such holder a cash payment in an amount equal to
      C$0.30, which amount shall in each case be paid pursuant to and in
      accordance with Article 4;

	 	 	 
	 	(ii) 	
      each Primero PSU and Primero DSU shall immediately be
      cancelled and all notices or agreements related thereto shall be
      terminated and the holder thereof shall thereafter have only the right to
      receive the consideration to which such holder is entitled to pursuant to
      this Section 2.3(f) in the manner specified in Article
4;

	 	(g) 	
      the Primero PSU Plan and Primero DSU Plan shall be
      terminated (and all rights issued thereunder shall expire) and shall be of
      no further force or effect; and

	 	 	 
	 	(h) 	
      the exchanges, cancellations and other steps provided for
      in this Section 2.3 will be deemed to occur on the Effective Date,
      notwithstanding that certain of the procedures related thereto are not
      completed until after the Effective Date.

	2.4 	
      Post-Effective Time
Procedures.

	 	(a) 	
      Following receipt of the Final Order and prior to the
      Effective Date, First Majestic shall deliver or arrange to be delivered to
      the Depositary the Consideration, including certificates representing the
      First Majestic Shares in accordance with Section 2.3 hereof, which
      certificates shall be held by the Depositary as agent and nominee for the
      former Primero Shareholders for distribution to the former Primero
      Shareholders in accordance with the provisions of Article 4
  hereof.

	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      Subject to the provisions of Article 4 hereof, and upon
      return of a properly completed Letter of Transmittal by a registered
      former Primero Shareholder together with certificates, if any, which,
      immediately prior to the Effective Date, represented Primero Shares and
      such other documents as the Depositary may require, former Primero
      Shareholders shall be entitled to receive delivery of the certificates
      representing the First Majestic Shares and cheques representing the cash
      to which they are entitled pursuant to Section
2.3(a).

- 8 - 

2.5                                       No
Fractional Shares.In no event shall any holder of Primero Shares be entitled
to a fractional First Majestic Share. Where the aggregate number of First
Majestic Shares to be issued to a former Primero Shareholder as consideration
under this Arrangement would result in a fraction of a First Majestic Share
being issuable, the number of First Majestic Shares to be received by such
Primero Shareholder shall be rounded down to the nearest whole First Majestic
Share and no Person will be entitled to any compensation in respect of a
fractional First Majestic Share. 

2.6                                       Adjustments to Exchange Ratio.The Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted to
reflect fully the effect of any stock split, reverse split, stock dividend
(including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into First
Majestic Shares or Primero Shares, other than stock dividends paid in lieu of
ordinary course dividends), consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or
other like change with respect to First Majestic Shares or the Primero Shares
occurring after the date of the Arrangement Agreement and prior to the Effective
Time.

RIGHTS OF DISSENT 

	3.1 	
      Rights of Dissent.

      Registered holders of Primero Shares may exercise rights
      of dissent (“Dissent Rights”) with respect to such shares pursuant
      to and in the manner set forth in section 237 to 247 of the Business
      Corporations Act and this Section 3.1 (the “Dissent Procedures”) in
      connection with the Arrangement; provided that, notwithstanding subsection

      Corporations Act must be received by Primero not later than 5:00 p.m.
      (Vancouver time) on the Business Day that is two Business Days before the
      Meeting Date or any date to which the Primero Meeting may be postponed or
      adjourned and provided further that Dissenting Shareholders
  who:

	 	(i) 	
      are ultimately entitled to be paid fair value for their
      Primero Shares, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
      section 245 of the Business Corporations Act, shall be deemed to have
      transferred such Primero Shares to First Majestic as of the Effective Time
      without any further act or formality and free and clear of all liens,
      claims and encumbrances, in consideration for the payment by First
      Majestic of the fair value thereof, in cash; or

	 	 	 
	 	(ii) 	
      are ultimately not entitled, for any reason, to be paid
      fair value for their Primero Shares shall be deemed to have participated
      in the Arrangement on the same basis as a non-dissenting holder of Primero
      Shares and shall be entitled to receive only the consideration
      contemplated in Sections 2.3(a) that such holder would have received
      pursuant to the Arrangement if such holder had not exercised Dissent
      Rights;

- 9 - 

but in no case shall First Majestic,
Primer or any other Person be required to recognize such Persons as holders of
Primero Shares after the Effective Time, and the names of such Persons shall be
deleted from the registers of holders of Primero Shares at the Effective Time.

	 	(b) 	
      In addition to any other restrictions set forth in the
      Business Corporations Act, none of the following shall be entitled to
      exercise Dissent Rights:

	 	(i) 	
      Primero Shareholders who vote, or who have instructed a
      proxyholder to vote, in favour of the Arrangement Resolution;

	 	 	 
	 	(ii) 	
      Primero Optionholders;

      All persons who were immediately prior to the Effective
      Time holders or beneficial owners of Primero PSUs or Primero
  DSUs.

	ARTICLE 4 
	DELIVERY OF CONSIDERATION 

	4.1 	
      Delivery of
Consideration.

	 	(a) 	
      Upon surrender to the Depositary for cancellation of a
      certificate that immediately before the Effective Time represented one or
      more outstanding Primero Shares that were exchanged for the Consideration
      in accordance with Section 2.3 hereof together with such other documents
      and instruments as would have been required to effect the transfer of the
      Primero Shares formerly represented by such certificate under the Business
      Corporations Act and the articles of Primero and such additional documents
      and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require, the holder of
      such surrendered certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange
      therefor, and the Depositary shall deliver to such holder following the
      Effective Time, a certificate representing the First Majestic Shares that
      such holder is entitled to receive in accordance with Section 2.3(b)
      hereof.

	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      After the Effective Time and until surrendered for
      cancellation as contemplated by Section 4.1(a) hereof, each certificate
      that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more
      Primero Shares shall be deemed at all times to represent only the right to
      receive in exchange therefor a certificate representing the First Majestic
      Shares that such holder is entitled to receive in accordance with Section
      2.3(b) hereof.

	 	 	 
	 	(c) 	
      As soon as practicable following the Effective Date, the
      Depositary shall deliver to each person who immediately before the
      Effective Time was a holder of Primero DSUs or Primero PSUs as reflected
      on the register or accounts maintained by or on behalf of Primero in
      respect of Primero DSUs or Primero PSUs, as applicable, as provided to the
      Depositary and who is entitled to a payment hereunder pursuant to Section
2.3(f), a cheque representing the cash that such holder is entitled to receive
in accordance with Section 2.3(f) hereof. 

- 10 - 

4.2                                       Distributions with Respect to Unsurrendered Certificates.No dividends
or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to
First Majestic Shares with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid
to the holder of any unsurrendered certificate which, immediately prior to the
Effective Time, represented outstanding Primero Shares that were exchanged
pursuant to Section 2.3 unless and until the holder of record of such
certificate shall surrender such certificate in accordance with Section 4.1.
Subject to applicable law and to Section 4.5, at the time of such surrender of
any such certificate (or in the case of clause (ii) below, at the appropriate
payment date), there shall be paid to the holder of record of the certificates
formerly representing whole Primero Shares, without interest, (i) the amount of
dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time
theretofore paid with respect to such whole First Majestic Share and (ii) on the
appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a
record date after the Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment date
subsequent to surrender payable with respect to such whole First Majestic Share.

4.3                                       Lost Certificates.In the event any certificate which immediately prior to
the Effective Time represented one or more outstanding Primero Shares that were
exchanged pursuant to Section 2.3 shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed,
upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such
certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Depositary shall issue in
exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, one or more
certificates representing one or more First Majestic Shares (and any dividends
or distributions with respect thereto) deliverable in accordance with such
holder’s Letter of Transmittal. When authorizing such payment in exchange for
any lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the Person to whom certificates
representing First Majestic Shares are to be issued shall, as a condition
precedent to the issuance thereof, give a bond satisfactory to First Majestic
and the Depositary in such sum as First Majestic may direct, or otherwise
indemnify First Majestic and the Depositary in a manner satisfactory to First
Majestic and the Depositary against any claim that may be made against First
Majestic or the Depositary with respect to the certificate alleged to have been
lost, stolen or destroyed.

4.4                                       Extinction of Rights.Any certificate which immediately prior to the
Effective Time represented outstanding Primero Shares that were exchanged
pursuant to Section 2.3 and not deposited, with all other instruments required
by Section 4.1 on or prior to the third anniversary of the Effective Date shall
cease to represent a claim or interest of any kind or nature as a shareholder of
First Majestic. On such date, the First Majestic Shares to which the former
registered holder of the certificate referred to in the preceding sentence was
ultimately entitled shall be deemed to have been surrendered to First Majestic,
together with all respective entitlements to dividends, distributions and
interest thereon held for such former registered holder. None of First Majestic,
Primero or the Depositary shall be liable to any person in respect of any First
Majestic Shares (or dividends, distributions and interest in respect thereof)
delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property,
escheat or similar law.

- 11 - 

4.5                                       Withholding and Sale Rights.Any of the Parties and the Depositary shall be
entitled to deduct and withhold from (i) any consideration issuable or payable
pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement to any holder of Primero Securities, or
(ii) any dividend or consideration otherwise payable to any holder of First
Majestic Shares such amounts as First Majestic or the Depositary, respectively,
is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such issuance or payment, as
the case may be, under the ITA, the U.S. Internal Revenue Code or any provision
of provincial, state, local or foreign tax law, in each case as amended. If any
amount is required to be deducted or withheld from the First Majestic Shares
otherwise issuable , each of First Majestic and the Depositary is hereby
authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of, at such times and at such prices as
it determines, in its sole discretion, such portion of the First Majestic
Shares, otherwise issuable or payable to such holder as is necessary to provide
sufficient funds to First Majestic or the Depositary, as the case may be, to
enable it to comply with such deduction or withholding requirement, and shall
notify the holder thereof and remit to such holder any unapplied balance of the
net proceeds of such sale or disposition (after deducting applicable sale
commissions and any other reasonable expenses relating thereto) in lieu of the
First Majestic Shares or other consideration so sold or disposed of. To the
extent that amounts are so withheld or First Majestic Shares or other
consideration are so sold or disposed of, such withheld amounts, or shares or
other consideration so sold or disposed of, shall be treated for all purposes as
having been paid to the holder of the shares in respect of which such deduction,
withholding, sale or disposition was made, provided that such withheld amounts,
or the net proceeds of such sale or disposition, as the case may be, are
actually remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. Neither of First Majestic
nor the Depositary shall be obligated to seek or obtain a minimum price for any
of the First Majestic Shares or other consideration sold or disposed of by it
hereunder, nor shall any of them be liable for any loss arising out of any such
sale or disposition.

	4.6 	
      Paramountcy.From and after the Effective
    Time:

	 	(a) 	
      this Plan of Arrangement shall take precedence and
      priority over any and all Primero Securities issued prior to the Effective
      Time; and

	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      the rights and obligations of the Primero Securities
      shall be solely as provided in this Plan of Arrangement; and

	 	 	 
	 	(c) 	
      all actions, causes of action, claims or proceedings
      (actual or contingent and whether or not previously asserted) based on or
      in any way relating to any Primero Securities shall be deemed to have been
      settled, compromised, released and determined without liability except as
      set forth in this Plan of Arrangement.

ARTICLE 5 
AMENDMENTS 

5.1                                       The Parties may amend, modify and/or supplement this Plan of Arrangement at
any time and from time to time prior to the Effective Date, provided that each
such amendment, modification and/or supplement must be: (i) set out in writing,
(ii) agreed to in writing by the Parties, (iii) filed with the Court and, if
made following the Meeting, approved by the Court, and (iv) communicated to

the other party shall have consented thereto) with or without any other prior
notice or communication, and if so proposed and accepted by the Persons voting
at the Primero Meeting (other than as may be required under the Interim Order),
shall become part of this Plan of Arrangement for all purposes. 

- 12 - 

5.3                                       Any amendment, modification or supplement to this Plan of Arrangement that
is approved by the Court following the Primero Meeting shall be effective only
if (i) it is consented to in writing by each of the Parties (in each case,
acting reasonably), (ii) it is filed with the Court (other than amendments
contemplated in Section 5.4, which shall not require such filing) and (iii) if
required by the Court, it is consented to by holders of the Primero Shares
voting in the manner directed by the Court.

5.4                                       Any amendment, modification or supplement to this Plan of Arrangement may be
made following the Effective Date unilaterally by First Majestic, provided that
it concerns a matter which, in the reasonable opinion of First Majestic, is of
an administrative nature required to better give effect to the implementation of
this Plan of Arrangement and is not adverse to the financial or economic
interests of any former Primero Shareholder.

	4.8 	
      Tax Matters

	 	(a) 	
      The Parties agree and acknowledge that the acquisition of
      the Purchased Assets hereunder involves the acquisition by McEwen of all
      or substantially all of the Canadian resource properties of Primero.
      McEwen and Primero covenant and agree to execute and file a joint election
      in the prescribed form contemplated under paragraph 66.7(7)(e) of the Tax
      Act, within the time limits prescribed by the Tax Act, in respect of the
      transfer of the Purchased Assets in order to have the "successor
      corporation" rules in the Tax Act apply in a manner that transfers from
      Primero to McEwen the maximum amount of Transferred Tax Pools allowable
      for such purposes. Primero shall prepare and execute such election and
      provide a copy of such election for McEwen's review at least 15 Business
      Days prior to the filing deadline. Primero shall accept any reasonable
      comments from McEwen in respect of such election prior to

      If McEwen assigns its rights and obligations under this
      Agreement to a direct or indirect subsidiary (the "Assignee
      Purchaser") pursuant to Section 10.12, Primero
      represents that it is, and McEwen represents (on its own behalf and on
      behalf of the Assignee Purchaser, if any) that the Assignee Purchaser will
      be duly registered under subdivision (d) of Division V of Part IX of the
      Excise Tax Act (Canada) and shall provide its registration number
      to the other Party promptly upon request by such other Party. Primero and
      McEwen (on its own behalf and on behalf of any Assignee Purchaser)
      acknowledge and agree that Primero is selling, and McEwen or the Assignee
      Purchaser, as applicable, is acquiring, all or substantially all of the
      assets used in the business currently being conducted by Primero with
      respect to the Purchased Assets and, if McEwen assigns its rights and
      obligations under this Agreement to an Assignee Purchaser pursuant to
      Section 10.12, Primero and McEwen (on behalf of the
      Assignee Purchaser) each agree to jointly prepare and execute an election
      pursuant to section 167 of the Excise Tax Act (Canada). McEwen
      represents (on its own behalf and on behalf of the Assignee Purchaser)
      that it shall file such election in prescribed form and within the time
      limits contained in the Excise Tax Act (Canada) with the
      appropriate Governmental Entity. Any goods and services tax, harmonized
      sales tax and/or any other sales or similar tax incurred in connection
      with the Transaction, including, for greater certainty, where an election
      pursuant to section 167 of the Excise Tax Act (Canada) is not or
      cannot be validly made in respect of the Purchased Assets, shall be borne
      by McEwen or the Assignee Purchaser, as the case may be. McEwen shall
      indemnify Primero from any and all claims, liabilities, actions,
      proceedings, demands, losses, costs, penalties, goods and services taxes
      payable, fines, damages, interest and expenses suffered by or sustained by
      Primero pertaining to such election pursuant to section 167 of the
      Excise Tax Act (Canada), including in the event that such election
      is not accepted by the Canada Revenue Agency. For greater certainty, the
      Parties agree that, if McEwen assigns its rights and obligations under
      this Agreement to an Assignee Purchaser, Primero will not charge or
      collect any amount from the Assignee Purchaser on Closing on account of
      goods and services tax or harmonized sales tax on the basis that the
      Parties have covenanted in this Section 4.8 to complete and timely file an
      election under section 167 of the Excise Tax Act
(Canada).

	 	 	 
	 	(c) 	
      McEwen shall pay (and indemnify Primero for) any and all
      land transfer taxes, levies and other Taxes which are paid by Primero in
      connection with the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets.

	 	 	 
	 	(d) 	
      Primero and McEwen (on its own behalf or on behalf of any
      Assignee Purchaser) will jointly elect, within the prescribed time and
      manner, under subsection 20(24) of the Tax Act with respect to any
      obligations of Primero assumed by McEwen .

      employ all of the Employees on the same terms and conditions as are in
      effect on the date hereof and shall not make any changes to such terms and
      conditions except for normal salary and wage increases made in the
      Ordinary Course, and will not hire other individuals whose base salary
      exceeds $80,000 to be Employees (except as are required to replace
      departed Employees) without McEwen's prior written consent, except for any
      Employees who prior to the Closing Time: (i) are terminated for cause in
      the Ordinary Course; (ii) are terminated with McEwen's consent, which
      consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; (iii) voluntarily resign; or
      (iv) retire.

	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      Not less than 15 days prior to the Closing, Primero
      agrees to provide McEwen with an updated listing of all Employees as of
      such date specifying, on an individual basis, the Employee's age, length
      of service, remuneration, position (including full-time, part-time,
      temporary, casual, seasonal or co -op student), and specifying if the
      Employee is on leave, the type of leave and the Employee's anticipated
      return to work date, which update describes the changes that have occurred
      from the date of this Agreement.

	 	 	 
	 	(c) 	
      Within five (5) days after receipt of the Employee list
      delivered pursuant to Section 4.9(b), McEwen shall
      offer employment to each Employee (each, a "Prospective Employee")
      and shall make each such offer of employment, effective as of the Closing
      Time, to each Prospective Employee in accordance with Section 4.9(d) .
      McEwen will provide notice to Primero on the Closing Date of the names of
      those Prospective Employees who accept employment with McEwen (such
      Prospective Employees, together with all Inactive Employees, who commence
      employment with McEwen are collectively referred to herein as the
      "Transferred Employees"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any
      Prospective Employee to whom McEwen is required to make an offer of
      employment pursuant to this Section 4.9(c) is on an
      approved leave of absence from work with Primero at the time offers of
      employment by McEwen are to be made (each, an "Inactive Employee"),
      McEwen shall offer employment to such Inactive Employee on the earliest
      practicable date following the return of such Inactive Employee to work
      with Primero and otherwise on terms and conditions consistent with this
      Section 4.9(c) and Section 4.9(d), provided that
      such Inactive Employee returns to active employment within eighteen (18)
      months following the Closing Date or such later time as required by
      applicable Law. Primero shall promptly notify McEwen of the occurrence and
      end of any such leave of absence. Any Inactive Employee who accepts the
      offer of employment by McEwen upon the end of any leave of absence shall
      be a Transferred Employee, and all references in this Agreement to: (i)
      the Closing Date shall be deemed to be references to the date on which
      such individual becomes a Transferred Employee; and (ii) the Closing Time
      shall be deemed to be references to 12:01 a.m. local time on the date such
      individual becomes a Transferred Employee. For greater certainty, McEwen
      shall not be liable for any Employee Obligations paid by Primero to an
      Inactive Employee prior to the date upon which the Inactive Employee
      becomes a Transferred Employee.

	 	 	 
	 	(d) 	
      The offer letters to be delivered to Prospective
      Employees and Inactive Employees, as applicable, by McEwen under Section
      4.9(c) shall be on the basis of the following terms
      and conditions:

	 	(i) 	
      the base compensation and bonus plan entitlements shall
      be substantially identical to such Prospective Employees’ entitlements
      immediately prior to the Closing or, in the case of any Inactive Employee,
      immediately prior to the date on which such Inactive Employee’s leave of
      absence commenced, subject to any accommodation required or permitted under applicable
      employment Law if such Inactive Employee returns to a different or
      modified role, in which case such Inactive Employee’s base compensation
      and bonus pay entitlements shall be commensurate with the different or
  modified role;

-25- 

	 	(ii) 	
      shall exclude any stock option plan or other equity based
      incentive plan compensation to which the Prospective Employees or Inactive
      Employees were entitled immediately prior to the Closing;

	 	 	 
	 	(iii) 	
      the benefit entitlements shall be comparable to such
      Prospective Employees’ entitlements immediately prior to the Closing or,
      in the case of any Inactive Employee, immediately prior to the date on
      which such Inactive Employee’s leave of absence commenced; and

	 	 	 
	 	(iv) 	
      the written employment agreements to be entered into
      between McEwen and each Prospective Employee or Inactive Employee, as
      applicable, shall give full recognition for such Prospective Employee's or
      Inactive Employee’s length of service with Primero prior to the Closing
      Date, and otherwise shall define, at McEwen's discretion, the termination
      entitlement owed to such Prospective Employee or Inactive Employee, as
      applicable, if such Prospective Employee's or Inactive Employee’s
      employment with McEwen is terminated following such Prospective Employee's
      or Inactive Employee’s acceptance of the offer of employment by
    McEwen.

	 	(e) 	
      McEwen shall deliver to Primero the form of offer letters
      referred to in Section 4.9(d) for Prospective
      Employees, upon receipt by McEwen of the Employee list referred to in
      Section 4.9(b) and, with respect to any Inactive
      Employee, upon receipt of notice that such Inactive Employee has returned
      to work with Primero.

	 	 	 
	 	(f) 	
      Primero shall be solely responsible for all Employee
      Obligations and Primero Severance Obligations relating to all Employees,
      including Inactive Employees, who are not Transferred Employees.

	 	 	 
	 	(g) 	
      In respect of Transferred
Employees:

	 	(i) 	
      Primero shall be solely responsible for all Employee
      Obligations which are payable to, receivable by or accrued in favour of
      the Transferred Employees prior to the Adjustment Date even if not then
      due and payable, except in respect of Employee Obligations that are
      included in the Statement of Adjustments, and for all Primero Severance
      Obligations; and

	 	 	 
	 	(ii) 	
      McEwen shall assume all Employee Obligations relating to
      the Transferred Employees that arise on or after the Adjustment Date and
      all McEwen Severance Obligations.

	 	(h) 	
      McEwen will have all obligations and liabilities with
      respect to any Governmental Entity for any Taxes which are payable to,
      receivable by or accrued on or after the Adjustment
Date.

all unaudited carve-out financial statements relating to the
Purchased Assets as may be reasonably required by McEwen pursuant to applicable
Securities Laws. In addition, Primero shall use reasonable commercial efforts to

      after the date of this Agreement, any Law is enacted,
      made, enforced or amended, as applicable, that makes the Closing illegal
      or otherwise permanently prohibits or enjoins Primero or McEwen from

      respect, and such breach or failure is incapable of being cured or is not
      cured by the Outside Date; provided that any Wilful Breach shall be deemed

(5th) anniversary following the Closing Date; and (ii) the
representations and warranties set forth in Section (16) Tax of Schedule "I" shall survive for the full period of all applicable statutes of limitations (giving effect
to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof) plus 60 days. All covenants and
agreements of the Parties contained herein shall survive the Closing
indefinitely or for the period explicitly specified therein. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any claims asserted in good faith with reasonable specificity (to the
extent known at such time) and in writing by notice from the non-breaching Party
to the breaching Party prior to the expiration date of the applicable survival
period shall not thereafter be barred by the expiration of the relevant
representation or warranty and such claims shall survive until finally resolved.

      any Excluded Asset or any Excluded Liability;

      as if such representation or warranty was made on and as of the Closing

      or obligation to be performed by McEwen pursuant to this Agreement;
    or

	 	 	 
	 	(c) 	
      any Purchased Asset or any Assumed
  Liability.

	9.4 	
      Certain Limitations

The indemnifications provided for in Section 9.2 and Section 9.3 shall be subject
to the following limitations: 

	 	(a) 	
      Primero shall not be liable to the McEwen Indemnitees for
      indemnification under Section 9.2
      until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification
      under Section 9.2
      exceeds $350,000 (the "Basket"), in which event Primero shall be
      required to pay or be liable for all such Losses from the first
    dollar.

	 	 	
       

	 	(b) 	
      Primero shall not be liable to the McEwen Indemnitees for
      indemnification under Section 9.2 in an aggregate amount in excess of: (i)
      in respect of indemnification relating to an inaccuracy or breach by
      Primero of a Fundamental Representation, the Purchase Price; (ii) in
      respect of indemnification relating to an inaccuracy or breach by Primero
      of any other representation or warranty, 25% of the Purchase Price; and
      (iii) in respect of indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(b),
      Section 9.2(c)

      the Purchase Price.

	 	 	
       

	 	(c) 	
      McEwen shall not be liable to the Primero Indemnitees for
      indemnification under Section 9.3
      until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification
      under Section 9.3 exceeds
      the Basket, in which event McEwen shall be required to pay or be liable
      for all such Losses from the first dollar.

	 	 	
       

	 	(d) 	
      McEwen shall not be liable to the Primero Indemnitees for

      obligation with respect to any single claim for indemnification or
      otherwise with respect to the matters described in Section 9.2 or Section
      9.3 unless the actual amount of the Losses suffered with respect to such
      claim is greater than $10,000. The amount of Losses with respect to any
      claim that is $10,000 or less shall be taken into account in determining
      whether or not the actual total amount of all Losses suffered exceeds the
      Basket.

	 	 	
       

	 	(f) 	
      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations set forth
      in Section 9.4(a),

      and Section 9.4(d)
      shall not apply to Losses based upon, arising out of, with respect to or
      by reason of any inaccuracy in or breach of any Fundamental
      Representations or in respect of fraud, criminal activity or willful
      misconduct.

	9.5 	
      Indemnification Procedures

The Party making a claim under this Article
9 is referred to as the "Indemnified Party", and the Party against
whom such claims are asserted under this Article 9 is
referred to as the "Indemnifying Party." 

-34- 

	 	(a) 	
      Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party
      receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or
      brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an affiliate
      of a Party or a Representative of the foregoing (a "Third Party
      Claim") against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the
      Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this
      Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt
      written notice thereof, but in any event not later than ten (10) calendar
      days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure
      to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the
      Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to
      the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses or is
      otherwise materially prejudiced by reason of such failure. Such notice by
      the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable
      detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof
      (including any statement of claim or demand notice) and shall indicate the
      estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Losses that have been
      or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall
      have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the
      Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of, any Third Party Claim at the
      Indemnifying Party's expense and by the Indemnifying Party's own legal
      counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such
      defense; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to
      defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that: (i) is
      asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or
      customer relating to the Purchased Assets (if the Indemnifying Party is
      Primero); or (ii) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against
      the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes
      the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 9.5(b), it shall have the right to take such action as
      it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims
      pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the
      Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to
      participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with legal counsel
      selected by it, subject to the Indemnifying Party's right to control the
      defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such legal counsel shall be
      at the expense of the Indemnified Party; provided that, if in the
      reasonable opinion of legal counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there
      are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different
      from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, or (B)
      there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the
      Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be
      liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel to the
      Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction in which the Indemnified Party
      determines legal counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not
      to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify
      the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in
      this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third
      Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 9.5(b), pay, compromise (acting reasonably) or defend
      such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses
      based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Primero
      and McEwen shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in
      connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making
      available records relating to such Third Party Claim and making available,
      without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket
      expenses) to the defending party, such then existing management employees
      of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the
      preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding
      any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not
      enter into a settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written
      consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 9.5(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third
      Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other
      obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary
      form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all
      liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and
      the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the
      Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the
      Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm
      offer within ten (10) days after its receipt of such notice, the
      Indemnified Party may assume carriage of such matter, and continue to
      contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum
      liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not
      exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails
      to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such
      Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim
      upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party
      Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party
      Claim pursuant to Section 9.5(a), it shall not
      agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying
      Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
  delayed).

-35- 

	 	(c) 	
      Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party
      on account of Losses that do not result from a Third Party Claim (a
      "Direct Claim") shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving
      the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not
      later than ten (10) days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such
      Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not,
      however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification
      obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party
      forfeits rights or defenses or is otherwise materially prejudiced by
      reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall
      describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of
      all material written evidence thereof (including any statement of claim or
      demand notice) and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably
      practicable, of the Losses that have been or may be sustained by the
      Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after its
      receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The
      Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its legal counsel
      to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the
      Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in
      respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the
      Indemnifying Party's investigation by giving such information and
      assistance (including access to the Indemnified Party's premises and
      personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or
      records) as the Indemnifying Party or its legal counsel may reasonably
      request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30 day
      period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such
      Direct Claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue
      such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms
      and subject to the provisions of this
Agreement.

	9.6 	
      Payments

Once any Losses are agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or
finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article
9, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within fifteen (15)
days of such final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately
available funds. The Parties agree that should an Indemnifying Party not make
full payment of any such obligations within such fifteen (15) day period, any
amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of
the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication to, but excluding,
the date such payment has been made in full, at a rate per annum equal to the
Prime Rate plus 5%. Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a
365 day year and the actual number of days elapsed. 

-36- 

	9.7 	
      Tax Treatment of Indemnification
  Payments

All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be
treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes,
unless otherwise required by Law, and shall be allocated as among the Purchased
Assets by the Parties, each acting reasonably. 

	9.8 	
      One Recovery

An Indemnified Party is not entitled to double recovery for any
Losses even though they may have resulted from the breach, inaccuracy or failure
to perform of more than one of the representations, warranties, covenants and
obligations of the Indemnifying Party in this Agreement. No Party has any
liability or obligation with respect to any Losses subject to indemnification
under Section 9.2 or Section 9.3
to the extent that such Losses were reflected as an adjustment to the Purchase
Price in Section 2.9. 

	9.9 	
      Duty to Mitigate

Nothing in this Agreement in any way restricts or limits the
general obligation at Law of an Indemnified Party to mitigate any Losses which
it may suffer or incur by reason of the breach, inaccuracy or failure to perform
of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of the Indemnifying
Party under this Agreement. If any Losses can be reduced by any recovery,
settlement, payment or otherwise under or pursuant to any insurance coverage, or
pursuant to any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any other
Person, the Indemnified Party shall take all appropriate steps to enforce such
recovery, settlement or payment and the amount of any Losses of the Indemnified
Party will be reduced by the amount of insurance proceeds actually recovered by
the Indemnified Party. 

	9.10 	
      Effect of Investigation

A Party shall have no obligation or liability for
indemnification under Section 9.2, Section 9.3 or otherwise with respect to any breach or inaccuracy of
any representation or warranty in this Agreement or any failure to perform or
fulfill any covenants or obligations, if the Party making the claim had
knowledge of the breach, inaccuracy or failure to perform on or prior to the
Closing.

	9.11 	
      Exclusive Remedies

Subject to Section 10.3, the Parties
acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any
and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud, criminal activity or
willful misconduct on the part of a Party in connection with the Transaction)
for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or
obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this
Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this
Article 9. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party
hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights,
claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty,
covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the
subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other Party and its
affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based
upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in
this Article 9. Nothing in this Section 9.11 shall limit
any Person's right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person
shall be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of any party's fraudulent,
criminal or intentional misconduct. 

	9.12 	
      Trusts

It is the intention of: (i) Primero to constitute McEwen as a
trustee for McEwen Indemnitees that are not parties to this Agreement of the
covenants of Primero contained in this Article 9 and
McEwen agrees to accept such trust and to hold and enforce such covenants on
behalf of each such McEwen Indemnitee; and (ii) McEwen to constitute Primero as a trustee for the Primero
Indemnitees that are not parties to this Agreement of the covenants of McEwen
contained in this Article 9 and Primero agrees to accept
such trust and to hold and enforce such covenants on behalf of each such Primero
Indemnitee. 

-37-

ARTICLE 10 
GENERAL PROVISIONS 

	10.1 	
      Amendments

This Agreement may only be amended by mutual written agreement
of the Parties. 

	10.2 	
      Expenses

Primero will be responsible for the costs relating to the Title
Insurance Policy and the Title Opinion. Subject to the foregoing or as otherwise
expressly agreed between the Parties, all out-of-pocket third party transaction
expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transaction,
including all costs, expenses and fees of Primero and McEwen incurred prior to
or after the Closing Date in connection with, or incidental to, the Transaction,
shall be paid by the Party incurring such expenses, whether or not the
Transaction is completed, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. 

	10.3 	
      Injunctive Relief and
Remedies

The Parties agree that irreparable harm would occur for which
money damages would not be an adequate remedy at Law in the event that any of
the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by Primero or McEwen in
accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is
accordingly agreed that each Party shall be entitled to injunctive and other
equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by
the other Party, and to enforce compliance with the terms of this Agreement by
the other Party without any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond
in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable
relief, this being in addition to any other remedy to which a Party may be
entitled at Law or in equity. 

	10.4 	
      Privacy Matters

	 	(a) 	
      The Disclosing Party acknowledges and confirms that the
      disclosure of Transaction Personal Information is necessary for the
      purposes of determining if the Parties will proceed with the Transaction,
      and that the disclosure of Transaction Personal Information relates solely
      to the carrying on of the business and the review of the Purchased Assets
      and the Closing.

	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      The Disclosing Party covenants and agrees to, upon
      request, use reasonable efforts to advise the Recipient of all documented
      purposes for which the Transaction Personal Information was initially
      collected from or in respect of the individual to which such Transaction
      Personal Information relates and all additional documented purposes where
      the Disclosing Party has notified the individual of such additional
      purpose, and where required by Law, obtained the consent of such
      individual to such use or disclosure.

	 	 	 
	 	(c) 	
      Prior to the Closing, the Recipient covenants and agrees
      to:

	 	(i) 	
      collect, use and disclose the Transaction Personal
      Information solely for the purpose of reviewing and completing the
      Transaction, including for the purpose of determining whether to complete
      the Transaction; and

-38- 

	 	(ii) 	
      not disclose the Transaction Personal Information to any
      person other than its Representatives who are evaluating and advising in
      relation to the Transaction; and

	 	 	 
	 	(iii) 	
      to protect and safeguard the Transaction Personal
      Information as required by Law.

	 	(d) 	
      After the Closing, the Recipient and the Disclosing Party
      each covenants and agrees to:

	 	(i) 	
      use and disclose the Transaction Personal Information
      only for those purposes for which the Transaction Personal Information was
      initially collected from or in respect of the individual to which such
      Transaction Personal Information relates or for the Closing, unless (A)
      the Disclosing Party or the Recipient have first notified such individual
      of such additional purpose, and where required by Law, obtained the
      consent of such individual to such additional purpose, or (B) such use or
      disclosure is permitted or authorized by Law, without notice to, or
      consent from, such individual;

	 	 	 
	 	(ii) 	
      to protect and safeguard the Transaction Personal
      Information as required by Law; and

	 	 	 
	 	(iii) 	
      give effect to any withdrawal of consent made by an
      individual to whom the Transaction Personal Information
  relates.

	 	(e) 	
      Where required by Law, the Disclosing Party agrees to
      promptly notify the individuals to whom the Transaction Personal
      Information relates that the Transaction has taken place and that the
      Transaction Personal Information has been disclosed to the
    Recipient.

	 	 	 
	 	(f) 	
      If this Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing, the
      Recipient shall, at the Disclosing Party's election: (i) promptly deliver
      to the Disclosing Party all Transaction Personal Information in its
      possession or in the possession of any of its Representatives, including
      all copies, reproductions, summaries or extracts thereof; or (ii) promptly
      destroy all such Transaction Personal Information.

	 	 	 
	 	(g) 	
      In this Agreement, "Transaction Personal
      Information" means personal information (namely, information about an
      identifiable individual other than their business contact information when
      used or disclosed for the purpose of contacting such individual as a
      representative of an organization and for no other purpose) to be
      disclosed or conveyed to one Party or any of its Representatives (a
      "Recipient") by or on behalf of another Party (a "Disclosing
      Party") as a result of or in conjunction with the Transaction, and
      includes all such personal information disclosed to the Recipient prior to
      the execution of this Agreement.

	10.5 	
      Further Assurances

From time to time after the Closing Date, a Party shall, at the
request of the other Party, execute and deliver such additional conveyances,
transfers and other assurances as may be reasonably required to effectively
complete the Transaction and to carry out the intent of this Agreement. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent that any Purchased Asset
is not transferred to McEwen, upon the written request of McEwen, Primero shall
use its best efforts to transfer, or to cause the transfer of, such asset to
McEwen or take other appropriate steps to allow McEwen to enjoy the benefit of
such Purchased Asset.

Any notice or other communication is deemed to be given and
received: (i) if sent by personal delivery or same day courier, on the date of
delivery if it is a Business Day and the delivery was made prior to 4:00 p.m.
and otherwise on the next Business Day; (ii) if sent by overnight courier, on
the next Business Day; or (iii) if sent by electronic mail, on the next Business
Day. Sending a copy of a notice or other communication to a Party's legal
counsel as contemplated above is for information purposes only and does not
constitute delivery of the notice or other communication to that Party. The
failure to send a copy of a notice or other communication to legal counsel does
not invalidate delivery of that notice or other communication to a Party.

	10.7 	
      Time of the Essence

Time is of the essence in this Agreement. 

	10.8 	
      Third Party Beneficiaries

The Parties intend that this Agreement will not benefit or
create any right or cause of action in favour of any other Person, other than
the Parties and, except as provided in Article 9, that no
Person, other than the Parties, shall be entitled to rely on the provisions of
this Agreement in any action, suit, proceeding, hearing or other forum. 

	10.9 	
      Brokerage and Finder's
Fees

It is understood and agreed that, other than Scotia Capital
Inc., no broker, agent or other intermediary acted for either Primero or McEwen
in connection with the sale or purchase of the Purchased Assets and: (i) Primero
agrees to indemnify McEwen and hold it harmless in respect of any claim for
brokerage or other commissions relating to this Agreement or the Transaction
which is caused by any action of Primero or any of its affiliates; and (ii)
McEwen agrees to indemnify Primero and hold it harmless in respect of any claim
for brokerage or other commissions relating to this Agreement or to the
Transaction which is caused by any action of McEwen or any of its affiliates.

	10.10 	
      Waiver

No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement will
constitute a waiver of any other provision (whether or not similar). No waiver
will be binding unless executed in writing by the Party to be bound by the
waiver. A Party's failure or delay in exercising any right under this Agreement
will not operate as a waiver of that right. A single or partial exercise of any
right will not preclude a Party from any other or further exercise of that right
or the exercise of any other right. 

	10.11 	
      Entire Agreement

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the
Parties with respect to the Transaction and supersedes all prior agreements,
understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the
Parties. There are no representations, warranties, covenants, conditions or
other agreements, express or implied, collateral, statutory or otherwise,
between the Parties in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement,
except as specifically set forth in this Agreement. The Parties have not relied
and are not relying on any other information, discussion or understanding in
entering into and completing the Transaction. 

	10.12 	
      Successors and Assigns

	 	(a) 	
      This Agreement becomes effective only when executed by
      Primero and McEwen. After that time, it will be binding upon and enure to
      the benefit of Primero and McEwen and their respective successors and
      permitted assigns.

	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      Subject to Section 10.12(c),
      neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations under this
      Agreement are assignable or transferable by any Party without the prior
      written consent of the other Party.

	 	 	 
	 	(c) 	
      Notwithstanding Section 10.12(b),
      McEwen may assign all or any part of its rights and obligations under this
      Agreement to a wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiary of McEwen
      without the consent of Primero, provided that McEwen shall provide Primero
      with no less than five (5) Business Days' prior written notice of such
      assignment.

-41- 

	10.13 	
      Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be illegal,
invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, that provision
will be severed from this Agreement and the remaining provisions shall remain in
full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision
is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate
in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to give effect the original intent
of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to allow the
Transaction to be completed to the fullest extent possible. 

	10.14 	
      Governing Law

	 	(a) 	
      This Agreement will be governed by and interpreted and
      enforced in accordance with the Laws of the Province of Ontario and the
      federal Laws of Canada applicable therein.

	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      Each Party irrevocably attorns and submits to the
      non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Ontario courts situated in the City of
      Toronto and waives objection to the venue of any proceeding in such court
      or that such court provides an inconvenient
forum.

	10.15 	
      Rules of Construction

The Parties waive the application of any Law or rule of
construction providing that ambiguities in any agreement or other document shall
be construed against the Party drafting such agreement or other document. 

	10.16 	
      Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts
(including counterparts by facsimile) and all such counterparts taken together
shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. The Parties shall be
entitled to rely upon delivery of an executed facsimile or similar executed
electronic copy of this Agreement, and such facsimile or similar executed
electronic copy shall be legally effective to create a valid and binding
agreement between the Parties.

      qualified to carry on business and is in good standing in each
      jurisdiction in which the character of its properties or the nature of its
      activities makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to
      be so qualified will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Primero
      Material Adverse Effect. True and complete copies of the constating
      documents of Primero have been delivered or made available to McEwen, and
      Primero has not taken any action to amend or supersede such constating
      documents.

	 	 
	(2) 	
      Authority Relative to this Agreement. Primero has
      the requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement, to perform
      its obligations hereunder and to complete the Transaction. The execution
      and delivery of this Agreement by Primero and the completion of the
      Transaction have been duly authorized by the Primero Board, and no other
      corporate proceedings on the part of Primero, including any shareholder
      approval, are necessary to authorize this Agreement. This Agreement has
      been duly executed and delivered by Primero and constitutes a valid and
      binding obligation of Primero, enforceable by McEwen against Primero in
      accordance with its terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be
      limited by bankruptcy, insolvency and other applicable Laws affecting the
      enforcement of creditors' rights generally and subject to the
      qualification that equitable remedies may be granted only in the
      discretion of a court of competent jurisdiction.

	 	 
	(3) 	
      No Conflict; Required Filings and Consent. The
      execution and delivery by Primero of this Agreement and the performance by
      it of its covenants hereunder and the completion of the Transaction will
      not violate, conflict with or result in a breach of any provision of the
      constating documents of Primero, and except for Required Consents and
      Approvals or as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or
      reasonably be expected to have a Primero Material Adverse Effect will not:
      (i) violate, conflict with or result in a breach of (A) any agreement,
      contract, indenture, deed of trust, mortgage, bond, instrument,

      mortgage, bond, instrument, licence or permit, or result in the imposition
      of any encumbrance, charge or lien upon any of the Purchased Assets. Other
      than Required Consents and Approvals disclosed in Schedule H, no
      Authorization, consent or approval of, or filing with, any Governmental
      Entity or other authority is necessary on the part of Primero for the
      completion by it of its obligations under this Agreement or for the
      completion of the Transaction that would cause or result in any loss of
      any rights or assets or any interest therein held by Primero, except for such Authorizations,
      consents, approvals and filings as to which the failure to obtain or make
      would not, individually or in the aggregate, prevent or materially delay
  completion of the Transaction.
