splitting limit with respect to Platinum and Palladium shall be [**] relative to the Platinum or Palladium content (as applicable) as assayed by Stillwater, and the splitting limit with respect to Rhodium shall be [**] relative to the Rhodium content as assayed by Stillwater.  If the Parties' assays with respect to a particular Metal are within the applicable splitting limit, the Final Assay for such Metal contained in such Lot shall be calculated as the arithmetic mean of the Metal content in the two
exchanged assays.  If the Parties' assays for a particular Metal are not within the applicable splitting limit, the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to reach an agreement with respect to the final settlement figures.  If such an agreement cannot be reached within two (2) Business Days after the exchange of the Parties' Results.  Stillwater shall send the retained Sample Split for that Lot to an Umpire for independent analysis.  The Umpire shall be selected from among
the analysts listed on Appendix C on a rotating basis, sampled Lot by sampled Lot.  The Umpire will provide its analysis (on a dry weight basis determined on a pulverized sample) of the Metal or Metals for which a final settlement figure was not reached by the Parties.  The final settlement figures shall then be calculated based on a comparison of the assays of the individual Metal as assayed by each of the Parties (each, a "Party Result") and by the Umpire (the "Umpire Result"), in each case
expressed in troy ounces per dry Short Ton calculated to four significant figures.  If the Umpire Result is between the two Party Results, then the arithmetic mean of the Umpire Result and the Party Result which is closer to the Umpire Result will be the Final Assay for such Metal in such Lot.  If the Umpire Result is higher than the higher of the two Party Results or lower than the lower of the two Party Results, then the Party Result which is closer to the Umpire Result will be the Final
Assay for such Metal in such Lot.  For each Metal, the Umpire's costs of analyzing the samples will be born (i) by the Party whose Party Result for such Metal is further from the Umpire Result for such Metal or (ii) if the Umpire Result for such Metal is the exact arithmetic mean of the two Party Results for such Metal, by both Parties equally.

8.5           Commingling.  Stillwater shall have the right to commingle in the Facility any Secondary Materials from Power Mount with any other materials, provided that
the commingling occurs only after the Secondary Materials have been weighed and sampled by Stillwater.

PAYMENT; SECURITY INTEREST.

9.1           Payment Based on a Percentage of Final Lot Values.  Power Mount will receive payment for a Lot of Secondary Materials in an amount equal to [**] of the sum
of the Final Lot Values.

9.2           First Prepayment.  Within one (1) Business Day following receipt of a Metal Purchase Form from Power Mount, Stillwater will forward a prepayment of estimated
amounts due under this Agreement for the Offered Ounces of Metal (a "First Prepayment") via wire transfer to Power Mount.  The amount of the First Prepayment due Power Mount for such Offered Ounces shall equal (i) [**]% of the sum of the Offered Metal Values for each Metal, less (ii) the First Prepayment Finance Charge.

9.3           Second Prepayment.  Within one (1) Business Day following Stillwater's acceptance of a Lot at the Facility, Stillwater will forward payment of the balance
of the amount estimated to be due Power Mount for a Lot of Secondary Materials (the "Second Prepayment") via wire transfer to Power Mount.  The Second Prepayment shall be calculated as follows:

(i)             the sum of the Preliminary Lot Values for each Metal in such Lot multiplied by [**]%; less

(ii)            the Allocated Portion of the First Prepayment; less

(iii)           the Allocated Portion of the First Prepayment Finance Charge; less

(iv)           the Second Prepayment Finance Charge; less

(v)            any charges pursuant to Sections 6.2.

Attached as Appendix D is a sample calculation of a Second Prepayment and Second Prepayment Finance Charge.

9.4           Calculation of Final Prepayment.  Within two (2) Business Days following notice to Power Mount of the Final Lot Value for a Lot of Secondary Materials, Stillwater
will forward the final prepayment due Power Mount for such Lot (the "Final Prepayment") via wire transfer to Power Mount.  The Final Prepayment or credit shall be calculated as follows:

(i)             the sum of the Final Lot Values for each Metal in such Lot multiplied by [**]%; less

(ii)            the Allocated Portion of the First Prepayment; less

(iii)           the Allocated Portion of the First Prepayment Finance Charge; less

(iv)           the Second Prepayment; less

(v)            the Second Prepayment Finance Charge; less

(vi)           the Final Prepayment Finance Charge; less

(vii)          any Section 3.2 losses or costs; less

(viii)         any applicable Umpire charges under Section 8.4; and plus

(ix)           any Section 3.2 gains.

Attached as Appendix D is a sample calculation of a Final Prepayment and Final Prepayment Finance Charge.  If the calculation of the Final Prepayment pursuant to this Section 9.4 results in a negative number such that Stillwater has overpaid for a given Lot, such
amount will be deducted from future amount(s) owed to Power Mount, and, if payments owed to Power Mount within three months after such overpayment are insufficient to repay Stillwater the amount of such overpayment, Power Mount shall thereupon pay Stillwater all amounts remaining due.

9.5           Maximum Prepayments; Obligation to Make Prepayment May Be Suspended or Terminated by Stillwater.  Stillwater shall not be obligated to prepay Power Mount for
any Metal in excess of the quantities that Power Mount may deliver pursuant to Section 5.  Notwithstanding Sections 9.2, 9.3 or 9.4 above, Stillwater may elect to suspend or terminate prepayments to Power Mount at any time during this Agreement for whatever reason.  If Stillwater does suspend or terminate prepayments, Stillwater will forward payment for each Lot of Secondary Material to Power Mount in one payment of an amount equal to [**]% of the Final Lot Value within one (1) Business Day
following the Value Date.

9.6           Security Interest.  As security for all obligations of Power Mount under this Agreement, Power Mount hereby assigns, pledges and grants a continuing and unconditional
security interest to Stillwater, its successors and assigns, in and to all Secondary Materials, now owned or hereafter acquired by Power Mount, or in which Power Mount has or hereafter acquires any interest, wherever located.
