hereby other than to the extent that such liability, claim, action, suit, loss, damages or expense is the result of gross negligence or
willful misconduct of HSBC, and excluding any of the foregoing which arise out of claims, actions, and suits brought by the Companies
or the Guarantors or any of the Companies’ Affiliates including, without limitation, (a) any actual or proposed use by the Companies
of the proceeds of the Consignment Facility or the Forward Contract Facility, (b) the Companies or the Guarantors or any the Companies’

the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. If, and to the extent that the obligations of the Companies under this Paragraph are
unenforceable for any reason, the Companies hereby agree to make the maximum contribution to the payment in satisfaction of such obligations

or hereafter arising, upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping
or control of HSBC, or in transit to it. At any time, without demand or notice, HSBC may set off the same or any part thereof and apply
the same to any liability or obligation of the Companies even though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral
securing the Obligations. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE HSBC TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH

12.             
ASSIGNMENTS.

 

12.1.       
Assignment by the Companies.

 

The rights of the Companies
under this Agreement may not be assigned to any third party without the prior written consent of HSBC. All covenants and agreements of
the Companies contained herein shall bind the Companies and their successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of HSBC, and
its successors and assigns.

 

12.2.

more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement.

14.2.       
Arbitration. THE COMPANIES AGREE THAT ANY ACTION, DISPUTE, PROCEEDING, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN THE COMPANIES AND HSBC
WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE (“DISPUTE” OR “DISPUTES”) SHALL, AT HSBC’S ELECTION, WHICH
ELECTION MAY BE MADE AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO THE COMMENCEMENT OF A JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BY HSBC, OR IN THE EVENT OF A JUDICIAL PROCEEDING
INSTITUTED BY THE COMPANIES AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO THE LAST DAY TO ANSWER AND/OR RESPOND TO A SUMMONS AND/OR COMPLAINT MADE BY THE COMPANIES,
BE RESOLVED BY ARBITRATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH AND SHALL, AT THE ELECTION OF HSBC, INCLUDE ALL DISPUTES
ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH (A) THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY RELATED AGREEMENTS, NOTES OR INSTRUMENTS, (B) ALL PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE
AGREEMENTS INVOLVING THE COMPANIES AND HSBC, (C) ANY TRANSACTION RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE TRANSACTIONS
INVOLVING THE COMPANIES AND HSBC, AND (D) ANY ASPECT OF THE PAST, PRESENT OR FUTURE RELATIONSHIP OF THE COMPANIES AND HSBC. HSBC may elect
to require arbitration of any Dispute with the Companies without thereby being required to arbitrate all Disputes between HSBC and the
Companies.. Any such Dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with Article 75 of the New York Civil Practice Law
and Rules and the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). In the event of any inconsistency
between such Rules and these arbitration provisions, these provisions shall supersede such Rules. All statutes of limitations which would
otherwise be applicable shall apply to any arbitration proceeding under this Paragraph. In any arbitration proceeding subject to this
Paragraph, the arbitration panel (the “arbitrator”) is specifically empowered to decide (by documents only, or with a hearing,
at the arbitrator’s sole discretion) pre-hearing motions which are substantially similar to pre-hearing motions to dismiss and motions
for summary adjudication. In any such arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator shall not have the power or authority to award punitive damages
to any party. Judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Whenever an arbitration is required, the
parties shall select an arbitrator in the manner provided in this Paragraph. No provision of, nor the exercise of any rights under, this
Paragraph shall limit the right of HSBC (a) to foreclose against any real or personal property collateral through judicial foreclosure,
by the exercise of the power of sale under a deed of trust, mortgage or other security agreement or instrument, pursuant to applicable
provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, or otherwise herein pursuant to applicable law, (b) to exercise self-help remedies including
but not limited to setoff and repossession, or (c) to request and obtain from a court having jurisdiction before, during or after the
pendency of any arbitration, provisional or ancillary remedies and relief including but not limited to injunctive or mandatory relief
or the appointment of a receiver. The institution and maintenance of an action or judicial proceeding for, or pursuit of, provisional
or ancillary remedies or exercise of self-help remedies shall not constitute a waiver of the right of HSBC and, even if HSBC is the plaintiff,
to submit the Dispute to arbitration if HSBC would otherwise have such right. Whenever an arbitration is required under this Paragraph,
the arbitrator shall be selected, except as otherwise herein provided, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA.
A single arbitrator shall decide any claim of $100,000 or less and he or she shall be an attorney with at least five years’ experience.
Where the claim of any party exceeds $100,000, the Dispute shall be decided by a majority of three arbitrators, at least two of whom shall
be attorneys (at least one of whom shall have not less than five years’ experience representing commercial banks). The arbitrator
shall have the power to award recovery of all costs and fees (including attorneys’ fees, administrative fees, arbitrator’s
fees, and court costs) to the prevailing party. In the event of any Dispute governed by this Paragraph, each of the parties shall, subject
to the award of the arbitrator, pay an equal share of the arbitrator’s fees.

AND ANY ARBITRATION PROCEEDING PURSUANT HERETO SHALL BE CONDUCTED IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK. EACH OF THE COMPANIES CONSENTS TO AND SUBMITS
TO THE EXERCISE OF JURISDICTION OVER ITS PERSON BY ANY SUCH COURT HAVING JURISDICTION OVER THE SUBJECT MATTER, WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE
OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS UPON IT AND CONSENTS THAT ALL SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS BE MADE BY REGISTERED MAIL DIRECTED TO THE SUCH COMPANY AT
ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH ABOVE OR TO ANY OTHER ADDRESS AS MAY APPEAR IN HSBC’S RECORDS AS THE ADDRESS OF SUCH COMPANY. EACH OF THE
COMPANIES AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS
BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW.

 

14.4.       
Venue. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING IN RESPECT OF OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, TI-IE COMPANIES WAIVE (A) THE RIGHT
TO INTERPOSE ANY SET-OFF OR COUNTERCLAIM OF ANY NATURE OR DESCRIPTION, (B) ANY OBJECTION BASED ON FORUM NON CONVENIENS OR VENUE AND (C)
ANY CLAIM FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR SPECIAL DAMAGES.

 

14.5.       
Waiver of Jury. EACH OF THE COMPANIES HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY
IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM BASED HEREON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS CONTEMPLATED
TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS
OF ANY PART, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS OR ACTIONS OF HSBC RELATING TO THE ADMINISTRATION
OF THIS TRANSACTION AND THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, AND AGREES THAT IT WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN
WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW, EACH OF THE COMPANIES HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY
HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY LITIGATION ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN
ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES. EACH OF THE COMPANIES CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF HSBC HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY
OR OTHERWISE, THAT HSBC WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER. THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL
INDUCEMENT FOR HSBC TO ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT AND EXTEND THE CREDIT FACILITIES HEREUNDER.

 

    - 33 -

     

    

 

14.6.       
Usury. All agreements between the Companies and HSBC are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever,
whether by reason of acceleration of maturity of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be
paid to HSBC for the use or the forbearance of the indebtedness evidenced hereby exceed the maximum permissible under applicable law.
As used herein, the term “applicable law” shall mean the law in effect as of the date hereof provided, however that in the
event there is a change in the law which results in a higher permissible rate of interest, then this Agreement shall be governed by such
new law as of its effective date. In this regard, it is expressly agreed that it is the intent of the Companies and HSBC in the execution,
delivery and acceptance of this Agreement to contract in strict compliance with the laws of the State of New York from time to time in
effect. If, under or from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any of the consignment documents or
the Security Documents at the time of performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of such validity
prescribed by applicable law, then the obligation to be fulfilled shall automatically be reduced to the limits of such validity, and if
under or from circumstances whatsoever HSBC should ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate, such
amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance evidenced hereby and not to the payment
of interest. This provision shall control every other provision of all agreements between the Companies and HSBC.

 

14.7.       
Insolvency Proceeding. The Companies will not argue or otherwise take the position in any Insolvency Proceeding (defined
below) that this Agreement is not a true consignment.

 

(a)              
In the event this Agreement is determined to be anything other than a true consignment then HSBC shall be allowed to include in
its resulting claim any and all damages, claims or fees, including, without limitation, termination fees arising from any and all hedging
contracts, swap agreements or other similar agreements pertaining to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively “Termination
Fees”). If HSBC chooses to include such Termination Fees in its claim then the Companies agree that, for purposes of any Insolvency
Proceeding (defined below), (i) any such claims, actions or proceedings brought by HSBC (including any terminations, liquidations or accelerations
required in connection with such claim) are not subject to an “automatic stay” pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 362(a) as a result
of such Insolvency Proceeding (defined below) and that the Companies will not argue or otherwise contend that HSBC’s claims, actions
or proceedings are subject to an automatic stay; (ii) the Companies will not plead, argue or otherwise raise any defenses, including,
without limitation, defenses arising under the theories of statute of limitations, laches, estoppel or similar theories, to any such civil
or administrative claims, actions or proceeding which are brought by the Companies; and (iii) HSBC has a claim against the Companies in
the aggregate amount of at least the Consignment Facility Indebtedness plus any and all Termination Fees (exclusive of accruing attorneys
fees’, costs of collection and interest), and HSBC may pursue such claims without objection.

 

(b)              
Additionally, if, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a claim is made upon HSBC, or any subsequent transferee from
HSBC (collectively the “Transferee”), for repayment or recovery of any amount(s) or property or its equivalent received
by HSBC pursuant to this Agreement and, if, resulting from such claim, the Transferee pays all or part of said amount or redelivers property
or its equivalent to the claimant by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body, or (ii) any settlement
or compromise of any such claim, effected by the Transferee with any such claimant or its representative, then, in any such event, the
Companies agree that any such judgment, decree, order settlement or compromise shall be binding upon Companies, and the Companies shall
be and remain liable to the Transferee for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally
been received by the Transferee. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive and continue in effect, notwithstanding any payment of
any or all of the amounts pursuant to this Agreement. The Transferee shall give the Companies notice of any such claim in accordance with
the provision hereof.

 

    - 34 -

     

    

 

(c)              
The Companies hereby agree that if any of them shall (i) file or be the subject of any petition under Title 11 of the United States
Code as the same may be amended from time to time (the “Bankruptcy Code”) or the equivalent of the foregoing in any
applicable jurisdiction, (ii) be the subject of any order for relief issued under the Bankruptcy Code or the equivalent of the foregoing
in any applicable jurisdiction, (iii) file or be the subject of any petition seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment,
liquidation, dissolution, or similar relief under any present or future federal or state act or law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency,
or other relief for debtors, (iv) seek, consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver, conservator or liquidator,
(individually, an “Insolvency Proceeding” and, collectively, “Insolvency Proceedings”), or (v) be
the subject of any order, judgment or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction approving a petition filed against any of
the Companies in any Insolvency Proceeding, then HSBC shall thereupon be entitled to relief from any automatic stay imposed by §362
of the Bankruptcy Code, or from any other stay or suspension of remedies imposed in any other manner with respect to the exercise of the
rights and remedies otherwise available to HSBC relating to this Agreement.

 

(d)              
The Companies’ agreements set forth in this paragraph are provided in exchange for valuable consideration provided in this
Agreement.

 

14.8.       
Survival of Representations and Covenants. This Agreement and all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties
made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto, shall survive the consigning of Consigned Precious Metal by HSBC to the
Companies and the execution and delivery to HSBC of this Agreement, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any indebtedness
or obligation of the Companies to HSBC is outstanding and unpaid. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to,
such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements contained
in this Agreement by or on behalf of the Companies shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of HSBC.

 

14.9.       
Notices. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing,
and shall be sent by any one of the following: certified mail, return receipt requested; overnight courier; confirmed telecopier; by hand,
or by confirmed electronic mail and shall be addressed (a) if to the Companies, to the Companies at the Companies’ Address, and

certified mail; the next Business Day, if sent by overnight courier; upon confirmation, if sent by confirmed telecopier; upon delivery,
if sent by hand, and upon confirmation of receipt, if sent by electronic mail. The address of any party hereto for such demands, notices
and other communications may be changed by giving notice in writing at any time to the other party hereto.

14.10.   
Amendments. This Agreement is intended by the parties as the final, complete and exclusive statement of the transactions
evidenced by this Agreement. All prior, or contemporaneous promises, agreements sand understandings, whether oral or written, are deemed
to be superseded by this Agreement, and no party is relying on any promise, agreement or understanding not set forth in this Agreement.
No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, nor consent to any departure by the Companies therefrom, shall in any event
be effective unless the same shall be in writing, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and
for the purpose, for which given. No notice to, or demand, on the Companies, in any case, shall entitle the Companies to any other or
future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. +/

 

14.11.   
Lost Documents. Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of HSBC as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any
security document which is not of public record, and, in the case of any such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation, upon cancellation
of such security document of like tenor Companies shall execute and deliver to HSBC a replacement document of like tenor.

 

14.12.   
Waiver. Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of HSBC in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under
any other instrument given as security therefor, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude
any other or future exercise, or the exercise of any right, power or privilege.

 

14.13.   
Following Business Day Convention. All payments hereunder shall be adjusted in accordance with the ‘Following Business
Day Convention’ so that if any payment hereunder becomes due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date of such payment

be included in computing interest and fees in connection with such payment.

(c)              
HSBC may enforce this Agreement independently as to each Company and independently of any other remedy or security HSBC at any
time may have or hold in connection with the Obligations evidenced hereby, and it shall not be necessary for HSBC to marshal assets in
favor of any Company or to proceed upon or against or exhaust any security or remedy before proceeding to enforce this Agreement. Each
Company expressly waives any right to require HSBC to marshal assets in favor of any Company or to proceed against any other Company or
any collateral provided by any Person, and agrees that HSBC may proceed against Companies or any collateral in such order as it shall
determine in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

(d)              
HSBC’s rights hereunder shall be reinstated and revived, and the enforceability of this Agreement shall continue, with respect
to any amount at any time paid on account of the Companies Obligations to HSBC which thereafter shall be required to be restored or returned
by HSBC, all as though such amount had not been paid.

 

(e)              
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and to the extent that the Obligations of a Company are deemed to be a guaranty
of the Obligations of another Company, each Company expressly waives any and all suretyship defenses now or hereafter arising or asserted
by reason of (i) any disability or other defense of the other Company with respect to the Obligations evidenced hereby, (ii) the unenforceability
or invalidity of any security or guaranty for the Obligations evidenced hereby or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or failure
of priority of any security for the Obligations evidenced hereby, (iii) the cessation for any cause whatsoever of the liability of the
other Company (other than by reason of the full payment and performance of all Obligations), (iv) any failure of HSBC to comply with applicable
law in connection with the sale or other disposition of any collateral or other security for any Obligation, (v) any act or omission of
HSBC or others that directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge or release of any Company or the Obligations evidenced hereby
or any security or guaranty therefor by operation of law or otherwise, (vi) the avoidance of any lien in favor of HSBC for any reason,
or (vii) any action taken by HSBC that is authorized by this Paragraph or any other provision hereof Until such time, if any, as all of
the Obligations have been paid and performed in full, no Company shall have any right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement or indemnity
from any other Company, and each Company (only in its capacity as a guarantor or surety) expressly waives any right to enforce any remedy
that HSBC now has or hereafter may have against any other Person and waives the benefit of, or any right to participate in, any collateral
now or hereafter held by HSBC.

 

14.15.   
Replacement Lender. In the event that the Companies at any time inform HSBC that they wish to enter into a replacement credit
agreement with a replacement financial institution other than the Lender which will result in paying the Lender in full from the proceeds
of the replacement credit facility, HSBC agrees to cooperate in negotiating, and to enter into, a reasonable intercreditor agreement with
such replacement lender, provided that the replacement lender is acceptable to HSBC.

(a)              
Requests for delivery of Precious Metal to be held for consignment hereunder shall be made by an Authorized Representative to an
authorized officer of HSBC by telephone or telecopier or online through the Evolve program (the “Consignment Request”).

		(ii)	the Drawdown Date;

 

		(iii)	the Consignment Period; and

 

		(iv)	the Counterparty at which the Precious Metal will be credited.

 

(b)

to the Companies in accordance with the terms of such Consignment Request or as otherwise indicated on the confirmation, which shall state
the Fixed Rate Consignment to apply to such consignment. The issuance of a confirmation by HSBC shall be deemed to be an acceptance by
HSBC of the Consignment Request and the Fixed Rate Consignment and other information set forth in the same which shall be binding on the
parties. All confirmations issued by HSBC shall be deemed to be accurate and shall be conclusively binding upon the Companies unless the
Companies shall dispute such confirmation by written notice (giving the reasons therefor) to HSBC promptly but in no event later than
within three (3) Business Days of receiving such confirmation. In the event of a dispute, HSBC’s electronic recording of the telephonic
request shall be controlling.

the making of such consignment of Precious Metal or (as the case may be) the receipt of Metals Payment for Consigned Precious Metal. The
amount of the Consignment Facility Indebtedness set forth in HSBC’s books and records shall be prima facie evidence of the Consignment
Facility Indebtedness owing and unpaid to HSBC, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on HSBC’s
books and records shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Companies hereunder to make pay and perform their obligation
under the Consignment Facility when due.

 

2.3.           
Deliveries

 

(a)

(b)              
When, in accordance with a Consignment Request, HSBC delivers Precious Metal by book entry to a Counterparty (i) by crediting the
Companies’ account with such Counterparty, or (ii) by instructing such Counterparty to credit the account of a third party at such
Counterparty, HSBC shall have no responsibility for the actions of such Counterparty or third party with respect to such book entry delivery
of Precious Metal, and the Companies shall have no recourse to HSBC once HSBC has completed the delivery by book entry of the Precious
Metal to such Counterparty in accordance with the Consignment Request. In further explanation, HSBC shall not be responsible if (i) the
Counterparty fails to credit the Companies’ account or fails to give credit to the account of said third party, or (ii) if the Counterparty
or the third party becomes insolvent. In any such event (i) the Companies shall look only to the Counterparty or third party (as applicable)
for satisfaction of any claims, (ii) the Companies shall indemnify and hold HSBC harmless from any claim, liabilities or obligations with
respect to such transfer, and (iii) the Companies shall be obligated to pay HSBC for the Precious Metal so transferred.

 

(c)              
HSBC shall not physically deliver Precious Metal to the Companies hereunder for any reason or at any time and shall have no responsibility
for the actions or inaction of any Counterparty.

 

(d)              
In addition, the Companies may elect to sell Precious Metal to HSBC which HSBC may consign back to the Companies pursuant to the
terms hereof and the same shall be deemed for all purposes to be Consigned Precious Metal and title to such Precious Metal shall immediately
and without further action vest in HSBC. There shall be no requirement for Precious Metal to be physically delivered to the Companies
by HSBC in order for such Precious Metal to be considered Consigned Precious Metal hereunder.

 

(e)              
Accordingly, Precious Metal consigned pursuant to the Consignment Facility and governed by this Agreement shall be such quantity
and type of Precious Metal as HSBC shall confirm to the Companies from time to time. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Precious Metal in the possession or control of the Companies, or Precious Metal held by a third party for the account of the Companies,
shall constitute Consigned Precious Metal consigned pursuant to the Consignment Facility and title shall immediately and without further
action vest in HSBC notwithstanding that (i) such Precious Metal is in alloyed form or is contained in raw materials, work-in-process,
or finished goods, (ii) such Precious Metal was delivered to, or credited to the account of, and accepted by the Companies, by a third
party in exchange for or in consideration of Precious Metal delivered by HSBC to such third party, (iii) such Precious Metal was sold
by the Companies to HSBC and then consigned back to the Companies pursuant to this Agreement; or (iv) such Precious Metal was acquired
by the Companies to replace Consigned Precious Metal which had been sold or otherwise transferred by the Companies.

 

2.4.           
Purchases and Sales of Precious Metal; Payment.

 

(a)              
Provided that no Event of Default (or condition with which the passage of time and/or the giving of notice may become an Event
of Default) has occurred and is continuing, the Companies may elect to purchase Consigned Precious Metal at any time by notifying HSBC
of its intention to do so at a reasonable time before (which shall be not less than thirty (30) minutes) the fix at which such Precious
Metal is to be purchased. The Companies shall make a Metals Payment within two (2) Business Days for all Consigned Precious Metal so purchased
(but HSBC may permit the Companies to pay prior to such time without premium or discount).

 

    B-4

     

    

 

(b)              
All Metals Payments shall be made without counterclaim or setoff and free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding
for, any taxes or other payments. All Metals Payments shall be applied to the Obligations of the Companies to HSBC as it determines in
its sole reasonable discretion. The Companies hereby authorize HSBC to charge the Companies’ Account at any time and from time to
time for the purpose of making any Metals Payment which is at any time payable hereunder by the Companies.

 

(c)              
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Companies shall immediately make a Metals Payment for Consigned
Precious Metal at the time the Consigned Precious Metal is lost or stolen or the occurrence of any event which causes HSBC’s or
the Companies’ interest in the same to be deemed an “account” under applicable law.

 

(d)              
Provided that no Event of Default (or condition with which the passage of time and/or the giving of notice may become an Event
of Default) has occurred and is continuing and provided that after giving effect thereto the Consignment Facility Indebtedness does not
exceed the Consignment Limit, the Companies may elect at any time, to sell Precious Metal to HSBC and to have HSBC consign such Precious
Metal back to the Companies hereunder by notifying HSBC by telephone or telecopier or online through the Evolve program of its intention
to do so within a reasonable time before the fix at which such sale will occur. HSBC shall pay for such purchased Precious Metal within
two (2) Business Days of purchase by federal wire transfer, other customary form of cash payment acceptable to the parties or by credit
to the Companies’ account at approved intermediaries. HSBC may make early payment if requested by the Companies and practicable

Value for such purchased Precious Metal less such market discounts as quoted from time to time by HSBC. The Companies shall timely pay
and hold HSBC harmless for all third party charges in connection with all such sales.

 

(e)              
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Companies shall only be permitted to make a physical delivery of
Precious Metal in payment of the Obligations with the prior written consent of HSBC. Any such physical delivery of Precious Metal to HSBC
shall be (i) to a vault designated by HSBC, (ii) at the Companies’ expense and risk, (iii) in a form acceptable to HSBC at a location

Account only upon HSBC’s assaying the Value thereof.

 

2.5.           
Consignment Fees.

During such time as Precious Metal is consigned to the Companies hereunder and until the same is withdrawn from consignment and
paid for in full by the Companies as hereinafter provided, the Companies shall pay to HSBC a Fixed Consignment Fee which shall be computed
as a percentage of the Value of such Consigned Precious Metal on the Drawdown Date. Each Fixed Consignment Fee shall be calculated for
a certain specific quantity and form of Precious Metal consigned to the Companies for a certain specific Consignment Period at the rate
per annum and in an amount set by HSBC. The quantity and form of Precious Metal and the Consignment Period shall be selected by the Companies,
subject to acceptance by HSBC. Once the specific quantity and form of Precious Metal and the specific Consignment Period have been selected
and the Fixed Consignment Fee determined, such selections shall be irrevocable and binding on the Companies and shall obligate the Companies
to accept the consignment requested from HSBC in the amount, in t form and for the Consignment Period specified.

 

    B-5

     

    

 

(b)

(d)              
Consignment fees shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year counting the actual number of days elapsed.

 

2.6.

Subject to the provisions
hereof, a Fixed Rate Consignment may be rolled over upon the expiration of its Consignment Period by giving HSBC notice by telephone or
telecopier or online through the Evolve program of the Companies’ decision to roll over an outstanding consignment at least two
(2) London Banking Days prior to the day on which such election is effective; provided that no Fixed. Rate Consignment may be rolled
over to a Fixed Rate Consignment with a Consignment Period of more than one (1) week when there has occurred an Event of Default hereunder
without HSBC’s consent, but shall be automatically converted to a Fixed Rate Consignment with a Consignment Period of one (1) week
on the last day of its Consignment Period. In connection with such notice, the Companies shall notify HSBC of any requested change in
the Consignment Period for such Fixed Rate Consignment. Each such request shall be irrevocable by the Companies. In the event that the
Companies does not notify HSBC of its election hereunder with respect to any Fixed Rate Consignment, such Fixed Rate Consignment shall
be automatically rolled over to a Fixed Rate Consignment having a one (1) week Consignment Period at the end of the applicable Consignment
Period.

 

2.7.

a category of liabilities which includes Fixed Rate Consignments for Consignment Periods in excess of one (1) Business Day or a category
of assets which includes obligations which are Fixed Rate Consignments for Consignment Periods in excess of one (1) Business Day, (c)
by reason of any Regulatory Change, it shall be unlawful for HSBC to maintain a Fixed Rate Consignment having a Consignment Period in
excess of one (1) Business Day, (d) in the exclusive judgment of HSBC, the Fixed Consignment Fees for Consignment Periods in excess of
one (1) Business Day do not adequately reflect the cost to HSBC of making or maintaining the consignment of Precious Metal then, in any
such case, any Fixed Rate Consignment having a Consignment Period in excess of one (1) Business Day shall be converted automatically to
Fixed Rate Consignment having a Consignment Period of one (1) Business Day. If HSBC determines that because of a change in circumstances
Fixed Rate Consignments having a Consignment Period in excess of one (1) Business Day are again available to the Companies hereunder,
HSBC will so advise the Companies. The Companies shall promptly pay HSBC any additional amounts necessary to compensate HSBC for any costs
incurred by HSBC in making any conversion in accordance with this Paragraph, including any interest or fees payable by HSBC to lenders
of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain Fixed Rate Consignments with a Consignment Period in excess of one (1) Business Day
hereunder.

limitation, as a result of prepayment or late payment of the purchase price for the Consigned Precious Metal or the termination of the
Consignment Facility pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), which expenses shall include any such loss or expense arising from interest
or fees payable by HSBC to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain Fixed Rate Consignments; (b) default by the Companies

of Consigned Precious Metal bearing a Fixed Consignment Fee or the rollover of any Fixed Rate Consignment to a Fixed Rate Consignment
with a different Consignment Period on a day that is not the last day of the applicable Consignment Period with respect thereto, including
interest or fees payable by HSBC to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain any such consignments.

 

2.9.

Code”) (including without limitation Sections 362, 546, 556, and 560 thereof and the applicable definitions in Section 101 thereof),
the parties acknowledge and agree that all transactions entered into hereunder will constitute “forward contracts” or “swap
agreements” as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code or “commodity contracts” as defined in Section 761 of the
Bankruptcy Code, that the rights of the parties under Paragraph 9 of the Consignment Agreement will constitute contractual rights to liquidate
transactions, that any margin or collateral provided under any margin, collateral, security, pledge, or similar agreement related hereto
will constitute a “margin payment” as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code, and that the parties are entities entitled
to the rights under, and protections afforded by, Sections 362, 546, 556, and 560 of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

(b)              
Each party agrees that the provisions of this Agreement supersede and replace in their entirety any requirements of law relating
to adequate assurance of future performance, including without limitation Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code.

 

(c)              
If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, HSBC shall be entitled to close-out and liquidate all, but not less than
all, outstanding Fixed Rate Consignments (except to the extent that in the good faith opinion of HSBC certain of such Fixed Rate Consignments
may not be closed-out and liquidated under applicable law or as provided below) (the date of such close-out, the “Close-Out Date”).
Where such close-out and liquidation is to be effected, it shall be effected by closing out each outstanding Fixed Rate Consignment (including
any such Fixed Rate Consignment which has not been performed and in respect of which the performance date is on or precedes the Close-Out
Date) so that each such Fixed Rate Consignment is canceled, and HSBC shall calculate in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner
the aggregate termination amounts required to be paid by the Companies or HSBC, as the case may be, to the other party. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, HSBC shall be entitled to close out less than all of the outstanding Fixed Rate Consignments if necessary in order to cause
the Companies to be in compliance with Paragraph 2.2 of the Consignment Agreement.

 

    B-7

     

    

 

2.10.       
Late Fee.

 

If the entire amount of any
required purchase price payment or any other payment under the Consignment Facility is not paid in full within ten (10) Business Days

(5%) of the required payment.

 

2.11.       
Default Interest Rate.

 

Upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default (whether or not HSBC has accelerated payment hereof), or after maturity or after judgment has been rendered hereon, the
Companies’ right to select pricing options shall cease and the unpaid amount due hereunder shall, at the option of HSBC, bear a
consignment fee at a rate which is four percent (4%) per annum greater than that which would otherwise be applicable.

 

2.12.       
Additional Costs.

 

(a)              
If, at any time, any Regulatory Change: (i) shall subject HSBC to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to this Agreement,
except an income tax, based upon the charging and collecting of Fixed Consignment Fees for Consignment Periods in excess of one (1) Business
Day, (ii) shall change the basis of taxation or payments to HSBC of the principal of or interest on the Obligations; (iii) shall result
in the imposition, modification or deemed applicability of any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements against assets of, deposits
with or for the account of, or credit extended by, HSBC; or (iv) shall, because of the existence of this Agreement, affect the amount
of capital required or expected to be maintained by HSBC, or any corporation controlling HSBC; upon demand then by HSBC, the Companies
agree to pay to HSBC such additional amount or amounts as will compensate HSBC for such increased cost or reduction. Such payments shall
be made on the first date for payment of consignment fees hereunder following the date of the demand by HSBC and on each such payment
date thereafter or shall be paid promptly on demand if the Companies is not advised of the amount of such payment prior to any such payment
date. Determinations by HSBC for purposes of this Paragraph of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of making or maintaining
the consignment and of the additional amounts required to compensate HSBC in respect thereof, shall be conclusive absent manifest error
in calculation, provided that such determinations are made in good faith.

 

(b)              
A certificate setting forth any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Paragraph 2.12 of this Exhibit B and a brief
explanation of such amounts which are due, submitted by HSBC to the Companies, shall be prima facie evidence that such amounts are due
and owing.

 

2.13.

To the extent applicable,
the provisions of this Agreement are subject to the 1997 ISDA Bullion Definitions (as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives
