(2) Each Lender's Share of Borrowing. Unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.4(1) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent shall seek repayment of such corresponding amount from the applicable Lender and the applicable Lender agrees to pay such amounts to the Administrative Agent (including all reasonable costs and expenses associated with such Lender's failure to pay in accordance with this Agreement); provided that where such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, including as a result of such failure to pay, the Borrower shall, on two Business Days' notice from the Administrative Agent, repay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand, in accordance with this Section 2.4(2) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the rate applicable to the Type of Borrowing. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender's Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by a Borrower shall be made without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against such Lender.

2.5 Interest.

(1) Interest. The Loans comprising each Canadian Prime Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be) at a rate per annum equal to the Canadian Prime Rate plus the Applicable Margin from time to time in effect. The Loans comprising each Base Rate Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be) at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin from time to time in effect. The Loans comprising each LIBO Rate Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the relevant Interest Period over a year of 360 days) at the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such LIBO Rate Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

(2) Acceptance Fee. The Loans comprising each B/A Borrowing shall be subject to the Acceptance Fee which shall be payable as set out in Section 2.11.

(3) Before and After Judgment Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Loans shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment:

(a) subject to Section 2.5(2)(b), at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan or, in the case of any amount not constituting principal or interest on a Loan, at a rate equal to 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to, in the case of Canadian Dollar amounts, Canadian Prime Loans, or in the case of U.S. Dollar amounts, Base Rate Loans;

Pretium Resources Inc. - Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

- 42 -

(b) if (i) a Security Document creates a mortgage on real property or a hypothec on immovables, or (ii) the rate provided for in Section 2.5(2)(a) is otherwise determined to be unenforceable, then, in either case, at a rate per annum equal to the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan or, in the case of any amount not constituting principal or interest on a Loan, at a rate equal to the rate otherwise applicable to, in the case of Canadian Dollar amounts, Canadian Prime Loans, or in the case of U.S. Dollar amounts, Base Rate Loans;

provided that, without limiting the effect of Section 2.5(2)(b)(ii), nothing in Section 2.5(2)(b)(ii) shall preclude the operation of Section 2.5(2) where:

(c) a Security Document that creates a mortgage on real property or a hypothec on immovables also creates a Lien on other property and assets; or
(d) the principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is also secured by a Lien other than a mortgage on real property or a hypothec on immovables.

(4) Accrued Interest. Accrued interest on each Loan (other than B/A Borrowings) shall be payable in arrears on each applicable Interest Payment Date and upon termination of the Commitments. In addition, in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment. Interest on overdue amounts shall be payable upon demand.

(5) Days Interest Payable. All interest hereunder shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). Any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day. The applicable Canadian Prime Rate, Base Rate LIBO Rate or Discount Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(6) Yearly Rate of Interest.

(a) For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any interest or any fee to be paid under any Loan Document is to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day or 365-day year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate used in such calculation is equivalent is the rate so used multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360 or 365, as applicable. The rates of interest under this Agreement are nominal rates, and not effective rates or yields. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement.
(b) The Borrower acknowledges and confirms that:
(i) clause (a) above satisfies the requirements of Section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada) to the extent it applies to the expression or statement of any interest payable under any Loan Document; and
(ii) each Obligor is able to calculate the yearly rate or percentage of interest payable under any Loan Document based upon the methodology set out in clause (a) above.

(c) The Borrower agrees not to, and to cause each Obligor not to, plead or assert, whether by way of defence or otherwise, in any proceeding relating to the Loan Documents, that the interest payable thereunder and the calculation thereof has not been adequately disclosed to any Obligor, whether pursuant to Section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada) or any other Applicable Law or legal principle.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the amount of interest payable under any Loan Document is reduced by virtue of the application of Section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada), then the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, if an Event of Default pursuant to Sections 7.1(g), (h) or (i) shall have occurred and be continuing, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent), an amount equal to the amount of such reduction.

(7) Criminal Interest. If any provision of this Agreement would oblige the Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by Applicable Law or would result in a receipt by that Lender of 'interest' at a 'criminal rate' (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by Applicable Law or so result in a receipt by that Lender of 'interest' at a 'criminal rate', such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary (but only to the extent necessary), as follows:

(a) first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest to be paid to the affected Lender under Section 2.5; and
(b) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, costs, expenses, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the affected Lender which would constitute interest for purposes of section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada).

(8) Reconciliation for Additional Interest and Fees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if, as a result of any restatement or other adjustment to the financial statements delivered under this Agreement (including any adjustment to unaudited financial statements as a result of subsequent audited financial statements) or for any other reason, the Borrower or the Lenders determine that the Net Leverage Ratio (Applicable Margin) as of any applicable date was inaccurate such that the Applicable Margin applicable to any Loans or any fees for any period were lower than would otherwise be the case, then the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, if an Event of Default pursuant to Sections 7.1(g), (h) or (i) shall have occurred and be continuing, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid by the Borrower for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid by the Borrower for such period, plus interest on such amount at the rate otherwise applicable herein.

2.6 Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(1) Maturity Dates. Unless previously terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

(2) Cancellation of Unused Credit. The Borrower may, upon five Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, permanently cancel any unused portion of the Revolving Credit, without penalty. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the receipt by the Administrative Agent of any such notice. Any such cancellation shall be applied rateably in respect of the Commitments of each Lender. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.6(2) shall be irrevocable.

The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders the outstanding principal amount of the Loans on the Maturity Date.

2.8 Evidence of Debt.

(1) Accounts of Indebtedness. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Borrowing made by such Lender hereunder, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(2) Account Details. The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (a) the amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the class and Type thereof and, in the cases of Bankers' Acceptances and LIBO Rate Loans, the relevant Contract Period or Interest Period, applicable thereto, (b) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder, and (c) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender's share thereof.

(3) Account Records of Lenders. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Sections 2.8(1) and (2) shall be prima facie evidence (absent manifest error) of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Borrowings in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the records maintained by the Administrative Agent and any Lender, the records maintained by the Administrative Agent shall govern.

(4) Promissory Notes. Any Lender may request that Term Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Term Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.4) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

2.9 Prepayments.

(1) Mandatory Repayment of Net Insurance Proceeds. If an Obligor becomes obligated under Section 5.1(9) to pay Net Insurance Proceeds to the Administrative Agent for application as a prepayment of principal outstanding under the Loans, the Obligor shall, within 5 Business Days of receiving such Net Insurance Proceeds, remit the amount required pursuant to Section 5.1(9) by way of payment to the Administrative Agent (for the account of the Lenders) to repay an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to the lesser of:

(i) the amount of such Net Insurance Proceeds as is required to be remitted to the Administrative Agent for such purpose in accordance with Section 5.1(9); and
(ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding at such time, and the Commitments shall be permanently reduced by such amount.

(2) Currency Fluctuations. If at any time the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender exceeds its Revolving Credit Commitment (any such excess being referred to in this Section 2.9(2) as a 'Currency Excess Amount'), then the Borrower shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Lender, an amount equal to the Currency Excess Amount with respect to such Lender to be applied (a) as a prepayment of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations outstanding to such Lender, and (b) thereafter as Cover to such Lender for its LC Exposure under the Revolving Credit in an amount of such remaining Currency Excess Amount. If any Currency Excess Amount with respect to any Lender is equal to or greater than 3% of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender, then the repayment of the Currency Excess Amount to such Lender shall be made by the Borrower within one Business Day after the Administrative Agent requests such repayment. If any Currency Excess Amount with respect to any Lender is less than 3% of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender, then the repayment of the Currency Excess Amount to such Lender shall be made on the next Quarterly Date. The Administrative Agent shall request repayment of any Currency Excess Amount forthwith upon request therefor by any Lender, but the Administrative Agent is not otherwise required to monitor Currency Excess Amount levels or to request repayment thereof.

(3) Application of Mandatory Prepayments. Prepayments of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.9(1) shall be applied (i) first, to the permanent prepayment of the Amortization Payments required to be made in respect of the Term Credit, in inverse order of maturity, and (ii) second, to the prepayment of amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit, but without any reduction or cancellation of a corresponding portion of the Revolving Credit. In the case of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.9(1), the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent written notice of such prepayment at least three Business Days prior to the date such prepayment is to be made; provided that any failure to do so shall not relieve the Borrower of the prepayment obligation in question.

(4) Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower may, at its option, at any time and from time to time, prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, upon giving three Business Days' prior written notice to the Administrative Agent. Such notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of (i) Revolving Loans or Term Loans (or a combination thereof), and (ii) Canadian Prime Loans, Base Rate Loans, LIBO Rate Loans, B/As (or B/A Equivalent Loans) or a combination thereof, as applicable, and, in each case if a combination thereof, the principal amount allocable to each. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.9(4) shall be applied against all of the Amortization Payments in the inverse order of maturity. Each voluntary prepayment of any Term Loan shall be in a minimum principal amount of U.S. $5,000,000 and in an integral multiple of U.S. $1,000,000. B/As (or B/A Equivalent Loans) may only be prepaid prior to the expiry date of the relevant Contract Period in accordance with Section 2.11(12). No prepayment of a Term Loan may be reborrowed.

(5) Notice by Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to Section 2.9(4), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender of the contents thereof and of such Lender's share of such prepayment based upon its Applicable Percentage of the relevant Loans.

(6) General. Any amount required to be prepaid on a date pursuant to Section 2.9(4) shall be due and payable together with any amount payable pursuant to Section 2.14 and accrued interest to such date on such amount in accordance with Section 2.5(4). For the avoidance of doubt, any prepayment of a B/A (or B/A Equivalent Loan) shall be applied against the face amount (or undiscounted amount) thereof. Any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.9(1) shall be applied within a Credit first to Canadian Prime Loans or Base Rate Loans, second to LIBO Rate Loans, and third to B/As or B/A Equivalent Loans, and the Borrower shall convert funds received pursuant to Section 2.9(1) as required to do so.

2.10 Fees.

(1) Standby Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of and distribution to each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage a standby fee for the period commencing on the date of this Agreement to and including the Maturity Date (or such earlier date as the Revolving Credit Commitments shall have been terminated entirely) computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin on the excess amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments over the Revolving Credit Exposure. Such standby fee shall be (a) payable in arrears on each Quarterly Date, commencing on the first Quarterly Date to occur after the date hereof, and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate, and (b) computed daily on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(2) Participation and Fronting Fees. The Borrower shall pay:

(a) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which fee shall accrue at the Applicable Margin for Letters of Credit on the daily amount of such Lender's LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements); and
(b) to each LC Issuer a fronting fee at such rate as may be agreed in writing by the Borrower and such LC Issuer, which fee shall accrue on the daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) under Letters of Credit issued by such LC Issuer, as well as such LC Issuer's standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any such Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder.

Participation fees and fronting fees shall be (a) payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Date and on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate, and (b) computed daily on the basis of a year of 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be, and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). Participations and fronting fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand.

(3) Fees to Administrative Agent. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon in the Agency Fee Letter.

(4) Payment of Fees. All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the LC Issuers or the Joint Lead Arrangers, as applicable, in the case of fees payable to any of them) for distribution, in the case of standby, participation and upfront fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable except in the case of manifest error in the calculation of any fee payment.

2.11 Bankers' Acceptances.

(1) Request for B/A Borrowings. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may request a Borrowing under the Revolving Credit by presenting drafts for acceptance and purchase as B/As by the Lenders. The Borrower shall not be entitled to obtain or roll over any B/A Borrowings or B/A Equivalent Loans at any time that a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

Pretium Resources Inc. - Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

- 48 -

(2) Contract Period. No Contract Period with respect to a B/A to be accepted and purchased under the Revolving Credit shall extend beyond the Maturity Date.

(3) Lender as Power of Attorney. To facilitate availment of B/A Borrowings, the Borrower hereby appoints each Lender as its attorney to sign and endorse on its behalf (in accordance with a Borrowing Request relating to a B/A Borrowing), in handwriting or by facsimile or mechanical signature as and when deemed necessary by such Lender, blank forms of B/As in the form requested by such Lender. Each Lender shall maintain an adequate supply of blank forms of B/As for acceptance under this Agreement. The Borrower recognizes and agrees that all B/As signed or endorsed by a Lender on behalf of the Borrower shall bind the Borrower as fully and effectually as if signed in the handwriting of and duly issued by the proper signing officers of the Borrower. Each Lender is hereby authorized (in accordance with a Borrowing Request relating to a B/A Borrowing) to issue such B/As endorsed in blank in such face amounts as may be determined by such Lender; provided that the aggregate amount thereof is equal to the aggregate amount of B/As required to be accepted and purchased by such Lender. No Lender shall be liable for any damage, loss or other claim arising by reason of any loss or improper use of any such instrument except the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Lender or its officers, employees, agents or representatives. Each Lender shall maintain a record with respect to B/As (a) received by it in blank hereunder, (b) voided by it for any reason, (c) accepted and purchased by it hereunder, and (d) cancelled at their respective maturities. On request by or on behalf of the Borrower, a Lender shall cancel all forms of B/A which have been pre-signed or pre-endorsed on behalf of the Borrower and which are held by such Lender and are not required to be issued in accordance with the Borrower's irrevocable notice. Alternatively, the Borrower agrees that, at the request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a 'depository note' which complies with the requirements of the Depository Bills and Notes Act (Canada), and consents to the deposit of any such depository note in the book-based debt clearance system maintained by the Canadian Depository for Securities.

(4) B/A Signatory. Drafts of the Borrower to be accepted as B/As hereunder shall be signed as set out in Section 2.11(3). Notwithstanding that any person whose signature appears on any B/A may no longer be an authorized signatory for any Lender or the Borrower at the date of issuance of a B/A, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes as if such authority had remained in force at the time of such issuance and any such B/A so signed shall be binding on the Borrower.

(5) B/A Amounts. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request specifying a Borrowing by way of B/As, the Administrative Agent shall so advise the Lenders and shall advise each Lender of the aggregate face amount of the B/As to be accepted by it and the applicable Contract Period (which shall be identical for all Lenders). The aggregate face amount of the B/As to be accepted by the Lenders shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of Cdn. $1,000,000 and shall be a whole multiple of Cdn. $100,000, and such face amount shall be in the Revolving Credit Lenders' pro rata portions of such Borrowing, provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, increase or reduce any Revolving Credit Lender's portion of such B/A Borrowing to the nearest Cdn.$1,000 without reducing the overall Revolving Credit Commitments.

(6) Acceptance of B/A. Upon acceptance of a B/A by a Lender, such Lender shall purchase, or arrange for the purchase of, each B/A from the Borrower at the Discount Rate for such Lender applicable to such B/A accepted by it and provide to the Administrative Agent the Discount Proceeds therefor for the account of the Borrower. The Acceptance Fee payable by the Borrower to a Lender under Section 2.5 in respect of each B/A accepted by such Lender shall be set off against the Discount Proceeds payable by such Lender under Section 2.11.

Pretium Resources Inc. - Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

- 49 -

(7) Lender's Rights Re B/A. Each Lender may at any time and from time to time hold, sell, rediscount or otherwise dispose of any or all B/As accepted and purchased by it.

(8) B/A Equivalent Loans. If a Lender notifies the Administrative Agent in writing that it is unable or unwilling to accept Bankers' Acceptances, such Lender shall, instead of accepting and purchasing Bankers' Acceptances, make a Loan (a 'B/A Equivalent Loan') to the Borrower in the amount and for the same term as the draft which such Lender would otherwise have been required to accept and purchase hereunder. Each such Lender shall provide to the Administrative Agent the Discount Proceeds of such B/A Equivalent Loan for the account of the Borrower. Each such B/A Equivalent Loan shall bear interest at the same rate which would result if such Lender had accepted (and been paid an Acceptance Fee) and purchased (on a discounted basis) a Bankers' Acceptance for the relevant Contract Period (it being the intention of the parties that each such B/A Equivalent Loan shall have the same economic consequences for the Lenders and the Borrower as the Bankers' Acceptance which such B/A Equivalent Loan replaces). All such interest shall be paid in advance on the date such B/A Loan is made, and shall be deducted from the principal amount of such B/A Equivalent Loan in the same manner in which the Discount Proceeds of a Bankers' Acceptance would be deducted from the face amount of the Bankers' Acceptance. Subject to repayment requirements, on the last day of the relevant Contract Period for such B/A Equivalent Loan, the Borrower shall be entitled to convert each such B/A Equivalent Loan into another type of Loan, or to roll over each such B/A Equivalent Loan into another B/A Equivalent Loan, all in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

(9) Notice of Intention to Issue B/As. With respect to each B/A Borrowing, at or before 10:00 a.m. two Business Days before the last day of the Contract Period of such B/A Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by a Borrowing Request giving notice of rollover, if the Borrower intends to issue B/As on such last day of the Contract Period to provide for the payment of such maturing B/A Borrowing. If the Borrower fails to notify the Administrative Agent of its intention to issue B/As on such last day of the Contract Period, the Borrower shall provide payment to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders of an amount equal to the aggregate face amount of such B/A Borrowing on the last day of the Contract Period thereof. If the Borrower fails to make such payment, such maturing B/As shall be deemed to have been converted on the last day of the Contract Period into a Canadian Prime Loan in an amount equal to the face amount of such B/As.

(10) Upon Maturity of B/As. The Borrower waives presentment for payment and any other defence to payment of any amounts due to a Lender in respect of a B/A accepted and purchased by it pursuant to this Agreement which might exist solely by reason of such B/A being held, at the maturity thereof, by such Lender in its own right, and the Borrower shall not claim any days of grace if such Lender, as holder, sues the Borrower on the B/A for payment of the amount payable by the Borrower thereunder. On the last day of the Contract Period of a B/A, or such earlier date as may be required or permitted pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower shall pay the Lender that has accepted and purchased such B/A the full face amount of such B/A and, after such payment, the Borrower shall have no further liability in respect of such B/A and such Lender shall be entitled to all benefits of, and be responsible for all payments due to third parties under, such B/A.

(11) Participation. If a Lender grants a participation in a portion of its rights under this Agreement to a Participant under Section 9.4(5), then, in respect of any B/A Borrowing, a portion thereof may, at the option of such Lender, be by way of Bankers' Acceptance accepted by such Participant. In such event, the Borrower shall upon request of the Administrative Agent or the Lender granting the participation execute and deliver a form of Bankers' Acceptance undertaking in favour of such Participant for delivery to such participant.

(12) Repayment of B/As. Any B/A Borrowing may be repaid by the Borrower in whole or in part prior to the expiry date of the Contract Period. With respect to the repayment of Bankers' Acceptances prior to the expiry date of the Contract Period, it is agreed that the Borrower shall provide for the funding in full of the unmatured Bankers' Acceptances to be repaid by paying to and depositing with the Administrative Agent cash collateral for each such unmatured Bankers' Acceptances equal to the face amount payable at maturity thereof. The Administrative Agent shall hold such cash collateral in an interest bearing cash collateral account at rates prevailing at the time of deposit for similar accounts with the Administrative Agent. The cash collateral, each cash collateral account, any accounts receivable, claims, instruments or securities evidencing or relating to the foregoing, and any proceeds of any of the shall be subject to the Liens arising under the GSA, and such Lien shall rank in priority to all other Liens and adverse claims against such collateral. Any such collateral shall be applied to satisfy the obligations of the Borrower for such Bankers' Acceptances as they mature and the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably directed by the Borrower to apply any such collateral to such maturing Bankers' Acceptances. If, after maturity of the Bankers' Acceptances for which such collateral is held and application by the Administrative Agent of the Collateral to satisfy the obligations of the Borrower hereunder with respect to the Bankers' Acceptances being repaid, any interest or other proceeds of the collateral remains, such interest or other proceeds shall be promptly paid and transferred by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower so long as no Default or Event of Default is then continuing. For the avoidance of doubt, the amount owing by the Borrower with respect to any B/A Borrowing shall unconditionally be the face amount of the B/As and/or undiscounted amount of the B/A Equivalent Loans in question, such that any prepayment shall not serve to reduce the prepaid interest cost of such B/A Borrowing.

2.12 Alternate Rate of Interest.

(1) Fallback Protocol. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBO Rate Borrowing or the commencement of any Contract Period for a B/A Borrowing:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that:
(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate (including because the ICE Benchmark Administration Interest Settlement Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period; or
(ii) there is no market for B/As; or
(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by a Lender that:
(i) the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining its LIBO Rate Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; or
(ii) the Discount Rate for such Contract Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of issuing or maintaining its B/As included in such Borrowing for such Contract Period,

then the Administrative Agent shall give written notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any Borrowing Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a LIBO Rate Borrowing or B/A Borrowing, as applicable, shall be ineffective, and (B) if any Borrowing Request requests a LIBO Rate Borrowing or B/A Borrowing, as applicable, such Borrowing shall be made as a Base Rate Borrowing or Canadian Prime Borrowing, as applicable; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice do not affect all the Lenders, then requests by the Borrower for LIBO Rate Borrowings or B/A Borrowings, as applicable, may be made to Lenders that are not affected thereby.

(2) Benchmark Replacement Setting. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (and any Secured Hedging Arrangement shall be deemed not to be a 'Loan Document' for purposes of this Subsection titled 'Benchmark Replacement Setting'):

(a) Replacing LIBO Rate. On March 5, 2021 the Financial Conduct Authority ('FCA'), the regulatory supervisor of the LIBO Rate's administrator ('IBA'), announced in a public statement the future cessation or loss of representativeness of overnight/Spot Next, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month LIBO Rate tenor settings. On the earlier of (i) the date that all Available Tenors of the LIBO Rate have either permanently or indefinitely ceased to be provided by IBA or have been announced by the FCA pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative and (ii) the Early Opt-in Effective Date, if the then-current Benchmark is the LIBO Rate, the Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any setting of such Benchmark on such day and all subsequent settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis.
(b) Replacing Future Benchmarks. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. At any time that the administrator of the then-current Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such Benchmark or such Benchmark has been announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Benchmark is intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored, the Borrower may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Loans to be made, converted or continued that would bear interest by reference to such Benchmark until the Borrower's receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark, and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During the period referenced in the foregoing sentence, the component of Base Rate based upon the Benchmark will not be used in any determination of Base Rate.
(c) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation and administration of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

Pretium Resources Inc. - Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

(d) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.12(2), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.12(2).
(e) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. At any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or the LIBO Rate), then the Administrative Agent may remove any tenor of such Benchmark that is unavailable or non-representative for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings and (ii) the Administrative Agent may reinstate any such previously removed tenor for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings.
(f) Certain Defined Terms. As used in this Section 2.12(2):

'Available Tenor' means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, (x) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark that is or may be used for determining the length of an Interest Period or (y) otherwise, any payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement as of such date.

'Benchmark' means, initially, the LIBO Rate; provided that if a replacement of the Benchmark has occurred pursuant to this Section 2.12(2) titled 'Benchmark Replacement Setting', then 'Benchmark' means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate. Any reference to 'Benchmark' shall include, as applicable, the published component used in the calculation thereof.

'Benchmark Replacement' means, for any Available Tenor:

(a) For purposes of clause (a) of this Section 2.12(2), the first alternative set forth below that can be determined by the Administrative Agent:
(i) the sum of: (i) Term SOFR and (ii) 0.11448% (11.448 basis points) for an Available Tenor of one-month's duration, 0.26161% (26.161 basis points) for an Available Tenor of three-months' duration, and 0.42826% (42.826 basis points) for an Available Tenor of six-months' duration, or

2.13 Increased Costs; Illegality.

(1) Compensation for Increased Costs. If any Change in Law shall:

(a) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender; or
(b) impose on any Lender or any LC Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement (including the imposition on any Lender of, or any change to, any Tax or other charge with respect to its Loans or any Letter of Credit or participation therein, or its obligation to make Loans or issue or participate in any Letter of Credit (other than the imposition on any Lender of any Excluded Tax)),

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or LC Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or LC Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, upon delivery of the certificate as set out in Section 2.13(3), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or LC Issuer, as the case may be and in accordance with Section 2.13(3), such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or LC Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be liable to compensate any Lender or LC Issuer for any such increased cost occurring more than 120 days before receipt by the Borrower of the certificate setting forth such increased costs in accordance with Section 2.13(3).

(2) Compensation for Reduced Rate of Return. If any Lender or LC Issuer determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or LC Issuer's capital or on the capital of such Lender's holding company or such LC Issuer's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such LC Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or LC Issuer or such Lender's or LC Issuer's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into account such Lender's or LC Issuer's policies and the policies of such Lender's or LC Issuer's holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or LC Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or LC Issuer or such Lender's or LC Issuer's holding company for any such reduction suffered. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (a) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, and Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or by United States, Canadian or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and (b) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (United States) and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, shall in each case be deemed to be a Change in Law for purposes of this Section 2.13(2) regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be liable to compensate any Lender or LC Issuer for any such increased cost or reduced rate of return occurring more than 120 days before receipt by the Borrower of the certificate setting forth such increased costs or reduced rate of return in accordance with Section 2.13(3).

(3) Certificate. A certificate of a Lender or LC Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or LC Issuer as specified in Sections 2.13(1) or (2), together with a brief description of the Change of Law, shall be delivered to the Borrower by such Lender or LC Issuer, and absent manifest error shall be prima facie evidence of such amount or amounts. In preparing any such certificate, a Lender or LC Issuer shall be entitled to use averages and to make reasonable estimates, and shall not be required to 'match contracts' or to isolate particular transactions. Subject to Sections 2.13(1) and (2), the Borrower shall pay such Lender or LC Issuer the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof.

(4) Illegality. If it is unlawful for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make or maintain any Loan (or to maintain its obligation to make any Loan), or to participate in, issue or maintain any Letter of Credit (or to maintain its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to determine or charge interest rates based upon any particular rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender with respect to the activity that is unlawful shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. For the avoidance of doubt, such suspension shall occur notwithstanding that the activity in question was unlawful on the Closing Date. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, within 10 Business Days of demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay (or, if conversion would avoid the activity that is unlawful, convert) any Loans, or take any necessary steps with respect to any Letter of Credit in order to avoid the activity that is unlawful. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

2.14 Break Funding Payments.

In the event of (a) the failure by the Borrower to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant hereto, (b) the payment or conversion of any LIBO Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period (including as a result of an Event of Default), or (c) the assignment of any Loan (including the assignment of any LIBO Rate Loan) other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a LIBO Rate Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period and the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for U.S. Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be delivered to the Borrower by such Lender and shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof.

2.15 Taxes.

(1) Gross-up for Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes except as required by Applicable Laws; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct or withhold any Taxes from such payments, then (a) in the case of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that, after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under Section 2.15), the Administrative Agent, Lender or LC Issuer (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made, (b) the Borrower shall make such required deduction or withholding, and (c) the Borrower shall pay to the relevant Governmental Authority the full amount deducted or withheld in accordance with, and within the time limits prescribed by, Applicable Law.

Pretium Resources Inc. - Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

(2) Stamp and Other Taxes. In addition to the payments by the Borrower required by Section 2.15(1), the Borrower shall pay any and all present or future stamp or documentary Taxes or any other excise or property Taxes, charges or similar levies arising from any payment made hereunder or under any other Loan Document or from the execution, delivery or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(3) Indemnity for Taxes. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each LC Issuer, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or LC Issuer, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under Section 2.15) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or LC Issuer, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or LC Issuer, shall, absent manifest error, be prima facie evidence of the amount of such payment or liability.

(4) Evidence of Tax Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes described in Section 2.15(1) or (2) by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(5) Tax Refunds. If the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an LC Issuer determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to Section 2.15, and, in such party's opinion acting reasonably, such refund amount is both reasonably identifiable and quantifiable by it without involving it in an unacceptable administrative burden, the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such LC Issuer, as applicable, shall pay over such refund amount to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under Section 2.15 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund, and only to the extent that the Administrative Agent, such Lender or LC Issuer, as applicable, is satisfied, acting reasonably, that it may do so without prejudice to its right, as against the relevant Governmental Authority, to retain such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such LC Issuer, as applicable, that such Person, as applicable, reasonably determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same after tax position it would have been in had such Indemnified Taxes not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments had never been paid; provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such LC Issuer, shall repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such LC Issuer if the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such LC Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Nothing contained in Section 2.15 shall (a) interfere with the right of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any LC Issuer to arrange its affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit and, in particular, none of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any LC Issuer shall be under any obligation to claim any available refund or relief for tax purposes on its corporate profits or otherwise, or to claim such relief in priority to any other claims, reliefs, credits or deductions available to it, or (b) require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any LC Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.15(5), in no event shall the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any LC Issuer be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.15(5) the payment of which would place such party in a less favourable after-Tax position than such party would have been in if Indemnified Taxes had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and no additional amounts or indemnification payments had been paid.

(6) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Obligor has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Obligors to do so), and (ii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (6).

(7) Exemption and Reductions re: Indemnified Taxes. The Administrative Agent, any Lender or any LC Issuer that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any Indemnified Taxes with respect to any payments made under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation as the Borrower or the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, the Administrative Agent, a Lender and an LC Issuer, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such LC Issuer is subject to withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.15(7), neither the Administrative Agent, any Lender nor any LC Issuer shall be required to provide any documentation which it is not permitted to provide under Applicable Law or which would subject the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such LC Issuer to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such LC Issuer, as applicable.

(8) Survival. For greater certainty, the provisions of this Section 2.15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Lender Termination Date.

2.16 Payments Generally; Pro rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

(1) Payments. The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, amounts payable under any indemnity contained herein, or otherwise hereunder) prior to 12:00 noon, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.10(2)(b), 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.3 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension, provided that, in the case of any payment with respect to a LIBO Rate Loan, the date for payment shall be advanced to the next preceding Business Day if the next succeeding Business Day is in a subsequent calendar month. All payments under this Agreement shall be made in the currency in which the indebtedness in question is denominated. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to debit the general operating bank account of the Borrower which is maintained with the Administrative Agent to effect any payment due to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement. Any resulting overdraft in such account shall be payable by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent in same day funds.

(3) Allocation of Funds in Event of Default. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and the maturity of the Loans shall have been accelerated pursuant to Section 7.1, all payments or proceeds received by the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document in respect of any of the Secured Liabilities, including, but not limited to all proceeds received by the Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of, any collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral, shall be applied as follows:

(a) first, to the payment of all reasonable and documented costs and expenses of such sale, collection or other realization, including reasonable and documented compensation to the Administrative Agent and its agents and outside counsel, and all other reasonable and documented expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith, and all amounts for which the Administrative Agent is entitled to indemnification hereunder or under any other Loan Document (in its capacity as Administrative Agent and not as a Lender), and to the payment of all reasonable and documented costs and expenses paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document, all in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof;
(b) second, to the extent of any excess of such payments or proceeds, to the rateable payment of any accrued interest, fee or commission due but unpaid under this Agreement;

(c) third, to the extent of any excess of such payments or proceeds, to the rateable payment of the Loans, Cover for outstanding Letters of Credit, the Secured Hedging Obligations and the Secured Cash Management Obligations;
(d) fourth, to the extent of any excess of such payments or proceeds, to the payment of any other amount due but unpaid under the Loan Documents; and
(e) fifth, to the extent of any excess of such payments or proceeds, to the payment to or upon the order of the Borrower or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall payments or proceeds received by the Administrative Agent from a Guarantor or in respect of its Collateral be applied against Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor.

(4) Sharing of Set-Offs. If any Secured Party shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any of its Secured Liabilities resulting in such Secured Party receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Secured Liabilities than the proportion received by any other Secured Party on its Secured Liabilities, then the Secured Party receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Secured Liabilities owed to other Secured Parties (as applicable) to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Secured Parties rateably in accordance with the aggregate amount of their respective Secured Liabilities; provided that (a) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (b) this Section 2.16(4) shall not apply to:

(i) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of Section 2.16(4) shall apply);
(ii) any payment made by the Borrower under or in connection with any Secured Cash Management Services when no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
(iii) netting under or as between Secured Hedging Arrangements; or
(iv) any payment under or in connection with any Secured Hedging Arrangement made when no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing unless, in the case of a termination payment only, an Event of Default shall occur within three months thereafter.

The Borrower hereby consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(5) Assumption of Payment; Reimbursement of Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or an LC Issuer hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or an LC Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the applicable LC Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or LC Issuer with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the applicable default rate for Canadian Prime Loans (if such amount is denominated in Canadian Dollars) or the applicable default rate for Base Rate Loans (if such amount is denominated in U.S. Dollars).

(6) Failure of Lender to Make Payment. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.16(5), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender's obligations under such Section 2.16(5) until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

(7) No Deemed Obligation for Source of Funds. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

2.17 Currency Indemnity.

If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court in any jurisdiction with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it becomes necessary to convert into a particular currency (the 'Judgment Currency') any amount due under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document in any currency other than the Judgment Currency (the 'Currency Due'), then conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day before the day on which judgment is given. For this purpose 'rate of exchange' means the rate at which the Administrative Agent is able, on the relevant date, to purchase the Currency Due with the Judgment Currency in accordance with its normal practice at its head office in Toronto, Ontario. In the event that there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given and the date of receipt by the Administrative Agent of the amount due, the Borrower shall, on the date of receipt by the Administrative Agent, pay such additional amounts, if any, or be entitled to receive reimbursement of such amount, if any, as may be necessary to ensure that the amount received by the Administrative Agent on such date is the amount in the Judgment Currency which when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of receipt by the Administrative Agent is the amount then due under this Agreement or such other Loan Document in the Currency Due. If the amount of the Currency Due which the Administrative Agent is so able to purchase is less than the amount of the Currency Due originally due to it, the Borrower shall indemnify and save the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from and against all loss or damage arising as a result of such deficiency. This indemnity shall constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by the Administrative Agent from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or under any judgment or order.

2.18 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(1) Mitigation. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall, as promptly as possible after it becomes aware of the relevant event, condition or circumstance, use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Lender Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, acting reasonably, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.15, as the case may be, in the future, and (b) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense (including any Tax) and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(2) Replacement of Lender. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, or if it is unlawful for any Lender or its applicable lending office to engage in any activity or to become obligated in any manner contemplated in Section 2.13(4) and the obligations of the Lender in respect thereof become suspended as contemplated in that Section, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense (including the processing and recording fee contemplated by Section 9.4(2)) and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.4), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be, another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (a) if such assignee is not otherwise a Lender, the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the LC Issuers, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in Letters of Credit, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), and (c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.13 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. In connection with any assignment by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.18(2) the Borrower shall not be required to pay to such Defaulting Lender any amount otherwise required pursuant to Section 2.14.

(3) Cancellation of Commitments of certain Lenders. Notwithstanding Section 2.18(1) and 2.18(2), if any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, the Borrower may, at its sole cost and expense (including any cost and expense associated with any reallocation of the remaining Commitments), upon five Business Days written notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, cancel the Commitment of such Lender and prepay all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit of such Lender then outstanding (together with all accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to such Lender in connection with such Loans and Letters of Credit) and upon such prepayment and cancellation such Lender shall cease to be a 'Lender' for purposes of this Agreement and shall no longer have any Commitment; provided that the Borrower may only exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 2.18(3) if (a) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such prepayment and cancellation or would arise immediately thereafter and (b) such prepayment and cancellation is not prohibited by Applicable Law.

2.19 Letters of Credit.

(1) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set out herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars or U.S. Dollars as an availment of the Revolving Credit Commitments, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable LC Issuer, at any time and from time to time up to the Maturity Date. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, an LC Issuer relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall govern.

(2) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension, Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable LC Issuer) to an LC Issuer and the Administrative Agent (at least five Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit by such LC Issuer, or identifying the Letter of Credit issued by such LC Issuer to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 2.19(3)), the amount of such Letter of Credit (which shall be denominated in Canadian Dollars or U.S. Dollars only), the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by an LC Issuer, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such LC Issuer's standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit to be issued by such LC Issuer. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (a) the aggregate LC Exposure shall not exceed U.S. $100,000,000 and (b) the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the total Revolving Credit Commitments.

(3) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (a) the date that is one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (b) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date.

(4) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the issuing LC Issuer or the Revolving Credit Lenders, such LC Issuer hereby grants to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each Revolving Credit Lender hereby acquires from such LC Issuer, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Credit Lender's Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such LC Issuer, such Revolving Credit Lender's Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such LC Issuer and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in Section 2.19(5), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this Section 2.19(4) in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(5) Reimbursement. If an LC Issuer shall make any LC Disbursement, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 4:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower has received written notice of such LC Disbursement from such LC Issuer on or prior to 10:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to 10:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) on such date, then not later than 4:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) (a) the Business Day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) on the day of receipt, or (b) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to 10:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) on the day of receipt. The Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set out herein, request in accordance with Section 2.3 that such Reimbursement Obligation be financed with a Canadian Prime Borrowing (if such LC Disbursement is denominated in Canadian Dollars) or Base Rate Borrowing (if such LC Disbursement is denominated in U.S. Dollars) in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower's Reimbursement Obligation shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Canadian Prime Borrowing or Base Rate Borrowing. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Credit Lender's Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such LC Issuer the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.19(5), the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to such LC Issuer or, to the extent that Revolving Credit Lenders have made payments pursuant to this Section 2.19(5) to reimburse such LC Issuer, then to such Revolving Credit Lenders and such LC Issuer as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to this Section 2.19(5) to reimburse an LC Issuer for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of Canadian Prime Borrowings or Base Rate Borrowings as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(6) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower's obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in Section 2.19(5) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein or herein, (b) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, or (c) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, save and except for material non-compliance with the payment conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of Section 2.19, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of set-off against, the Borrower's obligations hereunder, save and except, in all cases, where resulting from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of an LC Issuer. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Credit Lenders nor any LC Issuer, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence but for certainty, not including material non-compliance with the payment conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of such LC Issuer; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an LC Issuer from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such LC Issuer's failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or wilful misconduct on the part of an LC Issuer (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such LC Issuer shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the Borrower and the Revolving Credit Lenders agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an LC Issuer may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(7) Disbursement Procedures. An LC Issuer shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit issued by it. Such LC Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed in writing) of such demand for payment and whether such LC Issuer has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Issuer and the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(8) Interim Interest. If an LC Issuer shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate then applicable to Canadian Prime Loans (if in Canadian Dollars) or Base Rate Loans (if in U.S. Dollars). Interest accrued pursuant to this Section 2.19(8) shall be for the account of such LC Issuer, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to Section 2.19(5) to reimburse such LC Issuer shall be for the account of such Revolving Credit Lender to the extent of such payment.

(9) Replacement of an LC Issuer. An LC Issuer may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced LC Issuer and the successor LC Issuer. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of any such replacement of an LC Issuer. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced LC Issuer. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (a) the successor LC Issuer shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced LC Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by such successor LC Issuer thereafter, and (b) references herein to the term 'LC Issuer' shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any other current or previous LC Issuer, or to such successor and all other current or previous LC Issuers, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an LC Issuer hereunder, the replaced LC Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an LC Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(10) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the third Business Day following the date that the Borrower receives written notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of Cover, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in Section 7.1(g), (h) or (i). Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and shall be applied in accordance with this Section 2.19(10). The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower's risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each LC Issuer for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement in accordance with Section 2.16(3). If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived or the total LC Exposure is reduced to nil.

(11) Letters of Credit Issued for Account of Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder supports any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, or states that a Subsidiary is the 'account party,' 'applicant,' 'customer,' 'instructing party,' or the like of or for such Letter of Credit, and without derogating from any rights of the applicable LC Issuer (whether arising by contract, at law, in equity or otherwise) against such Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower (i) shall reimburse, indemnify and compensate the applicable LC Issuer hereunder for such Letter of Credit (including to reimburse any and all drawings thereunder) as if such Letter of Credit had been issued solely for the account of the Borrower and (ii) irrevocably waives any and all defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of any or all of the obligations of such Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of such Letters of Credit for its Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower's business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

2.20 Swingline Loans.

(1) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set out herein and as part of its Revolving Credit Commitment, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Loans (each such Loan made under this Section 2.20, a 'Swingline Loan') to the Borrower from time to time during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the Maturity Date (such commitment being the 'Swingline Commitment'), in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding up to U.S. $25,000,000; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to extend further credit hereunder if such extension would result in (a) the Swingline Exposure at such time exceeding the amount of the Swingline Commitment, (b) the aggregate of the Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the total Revolving Credit Commitments, or (c) a Swingline Loan refinancing an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set out herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.

(2) Interest; Overdrafts. Subject to the terms and conditions set out herein, the Borrower shall be entitled to obtain Swingline Loans by way of overdraft on the Swingline Accounts, and at any given time the U.S. $ Amount of the outstanding principal amount of all Swingline Loans shall be equal to the aggregate amount by which the Swingline Accounts are overdrawn. Swingline Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to a Canadian Prime Borrowing (if in Canadian Dollars) or at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to a Base Rate Loan (if in U.S. Dollars). Interest shall be payable on such dates, not more frequent than monthly, as may be specified by the Swingline Lender and in any event on the Maturity Date. The Swingline Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for such interest. The interest payable on Swingline Loans is solely for the account of the Swingline Lender (subject to Section 2.20(3) below).

(3) Participations in Swingline Loans. The Swingline Lender may, no less frequently than once per calendar month (but more frequently in its sole discretion) by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. on any Business Day require the Revolving Credit Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Revolving Credit Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to each Revolving Credit Lender, specifying in such notice such Revolving Credit Lender's Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall upon receipt of notice as provided above, pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender's Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.20 is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall comply with its obligation under Section 2.20 by wire transfer of immediately available funds with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Credit Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to Section 2.20, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent. Any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to Section 2.20 and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to Section 2.20 shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

(4) Reallocation upon an Event of Default. At any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Swingline Exposure shall be adjusted as necessary so as to cause the Revolving Credit Exposure of each Revolving Credit Lender to equal its Applicable Percentage of the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of all Revolving Credit Lenders. Such adjustment shall be effected by either:

(a) the Swingline Lender making Swingline Loans in the requisite amount(s) and advancing the proceeds thereof to other Revolving Credit Lenders in repayment of their Revolving Credit Loans; or
(b) the Revolving Credit Lenders other than the Swingline Lender making Revolving Credit Loans in the requisite amount(s) and advancing the proceeds thereof to the Swingline Lender in repayment of Swingline Loans,

and the Borrower irrevocably authorizes and directs such Borrowings to be automatically made and the proceeds thereof so applied.

(5) Replacement of Swingline Lender. The Swingline Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Swingline Lender and the successor Swingline Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Swingline Lender. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid interest accrued for the account of the replaced Swingline Lender. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (a) the successor Swingline Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made thereafter, and (b) references herein to the term 'Swingline Lender' shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Swingline Lender, or to such successor and all previous Swingline Lenders, as the context shall require. After the replacement of a Swingline Lender hereunder, the replaced Swingline Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made by it prior to its replacement, but shall not be required to make additional Swingline Loans.

(6) Resignation of Swingline Lender. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Swingline Lender, the Swingline Lender may resign as a Swingline Lender at any time upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders, in which case, such Swingline Lender shall be replaced in accordance with Section 2.20(4) above.

2.21 Defaulting Lenders.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply to such Lender for so long as it remains a Defaulting Lender:

(a) fees shall cease to accrue pursuant to Section 2.10(1) on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender;
(b) the Revolving Credit Commitment and Term Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.2, except as set out in the proviso); provided that any waiver or amendment (i) described in Section 9.2(2)(a), (b), (c) or (d) or (ii) which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other Lenders generally, shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;

(e) if a Defaulting Lender is an Insolvent Defaulting Lender, any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder may, in lieu of being distributed pursuant to Section 2.21(d), be retained by the Administrative Agent to collateralize indemnification and reimbursement obligations of such Defaulting Lender hereunder in an amount determined by the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably;
(f) if Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit are outstanding at the time a Revolving Credit Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then:
(i) all or any part of the pro rata share of such Defaulting Lender in respect of the outstanding Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit shall be reallocated among the Revolving Credit Lenders which are not Defaulting Lenders (in this Section 2.21, 'Non-Defaulting Lenders') in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments, provided that any such reallocation shall not cause any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed its Revolving Credit Commitment;
(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within five (5) Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent, (x) first, prepay such outstanding Swingline Loans, and (y) cash collateralize for the benefit of each LC Issuer the Borrower's obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender's pro rata share of the outstanding Letters of Credit (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) issued by such LC Issuer in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.19(g), until such Letters of Credit are surrendered for cancellation or the Commitments of such Defaulting Lender in respect thereof have been assigned pursuant to Section 2.18, whichever occurs first; and

(g) so long as any Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the LC Issuers shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender's then outstanding pro rata share of the outstanding Letters of Credit will be 100% covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.21(h), and participating interests in any such newly made Swingline Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.21(f) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein);
(h) if required by Section 2.21(f)(ii), the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders (the 'LC Collateral Account'), an amount in cash equal to 100% of the Defaulting Lender's pro rata share of the outstanding Letters of Credit which have not otherwise been reallocated pursuant to Section 2.21(f)(i) as of such date (as may be reduced from time to time) plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance by the Borrower of the Defaulting Lender's pro rata share of contingent obligations with respect to such Letters of Credit. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower's risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each LC Issuer for outstanding Letters of Credit issued by it for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the outstanding Letters of Credit at such time, until the expiry date of such Letters of Credit (in which case, to the extent such Letters of Credit are undrawn when they expire, the funds shall be returned to the Borrower) or otherwise returned to the Borrower on an assignment of such Defaulting Lender's obligations pursuant to Section 2.18; and
(i) if the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Swingline Lender and the LC Issuers each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Revolving Credit Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure of the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment and on such date such Defaulting Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans (other than the Swingline Loans) of the other Revolving Credit Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Revolving Loans in accordance with its Revolving Credit Commitment and any collateral held pursuant to Section 2.21(h) shall be returned to the Borrower concurrently therewith, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender's having been a Defaulting Lender.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.21, no Revolving Credit Commitment of any other Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and performance by a Borrower of its obligations hereunder and the other Loan Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of any Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.21 are in addition to other rights and remedies which a Borrower may have against such Defaulting Lender as a result of it becoming a Defaulting Lender and which the Administrative Agent or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect thereto.

Except as set out on Schedule 3.1(13), there is no expropriation or similar proceeding, actual or threatened, of which, to the Borrower's Knowledge, any Obligor has received notice, or which the Borrower knows is pending or threatened, against any Material Brucejack Mine Real Property or any other real property or interests therein which form a material part of the Business, taken as a whole.

All such material policies are in full force and effect, and no notice of cancellation or termination has been received with respect to any such policy.

The Administrative Agent, by instrument in writing and without any consent from any of the Lenders, may, in its sole and absolute discretion, extend any deadline for completion of a Post-Closing Requirement if the Administrative Agent, acting in good faith, believes that the extension will enable the Borrower and the Obligors to comply with such Post-Closing Requirement and such extension could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect upon the Lenders.
(9) Insurance.
(a) The Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Obligor to, maintain or cause to be maintained, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with respect to their respective properties and business against such liabilities, casualties, risks and contingencies and in such types and amounts and with deductibles as are (i) consistent with prudent mining and business practices for Persons engaged in business which is the same as or similar to the Business as carried on by the Obligors and which is carried on in the same or a similar location to that from which the Obligors carry on the Business (or applicable portion thereof), and (ii) in accordance with any requirement of any Applicable Law.
(b) If and to the extent any Obligor receives any Net Insurance Proceeds:

Pretium Resources Inc. - Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

- 89 -

(iii) if the aggregate amount of such Net Insurance Proceeds received by the Obligors in any Fiscal Year is in excess of $50,000,000, and:
(A) (I) if the Borrower shall have provided the Administrative Agent with a repair and reconstruction plan and budget which shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Required Lenders, acting reasonably, that the restoration of the Brucejack Mine (or other property that was the subject of the applicable Event of Loss giving rise to such Net Insurance Proceeds) in accordance with such plan is technically and economically feasible prior to the Maturity Date, (II) the Required Lenders have consented to such repair and/or reconstruction, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and (III) the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably, is reasonably satisfied that a sufficient amount of funds is or will be available to the Borrower to complete the required repair and/or reconstruction and after the completion thereof, the Brucejack Mine will be able to continue operation at a level that will enable the Borrower to service the Loans and pay all other amounts due to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as and when due, such Net Insurance Proceeds shall be made available by the Administrative Agent to the Obligors to pay and satisfy costs incurred by the Obligors in connection with the repair and/or reconstruction and restoration of the Brucejack Mine (or such other property); or
(B) if the foregoing conditions set out in clause (A) are not satisfied, or the Borrower elects not to so repair and/or reconstruct and restore the Brucejack Mine (or such other property), then the Net Insurance Proceeds shall be used to make a prepayment of the principal outstanding under the Loans in accordance with Section 2.9(1),
provided that, in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) above, (A) pending such utilization or reimbursement, such Net Insurance Proceeds are held by the Administrative Agent pending disbursement to the Obligors in accordance with the foregoing, and (B) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree in writing, any of such excess Net Insurance Proceeds that have not been used to fund costs incurred by the applicable Obligors in connection with the repair and/or reconstruction and restoration of the Brucejack Mine (or such other property) within 365 days of the receipt thereof shall be used by the Obligors to make a prepayment of the principal outstanding under the Loans in accordance with Section 2.9(1).

At the request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall request from its insurers, and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain true copies of its insurance policies and deliver the same to the Administrative Agent on receipt.

(d) In the event the Borrower fails to provide the Administrative Agent with timely evidence, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, of the maintenance of insurance coverage required pursuant to Section 5.1(9), or in the event that any Obligor fails to maintain such insurance, the Administrative Agent may purchase or otherwise arrange for such insurance, but at the Borrower's expense and without any responsibility on the Administrative Agent's part for: (i) obtaining the insurance; (ii) the solvency of the insurance companies; (iii) the adequacy of the coverage; or (iv) the collection of claims. The insurance acquired by the Administrative Agent may, but need not, protect any Obligor's interest in the Collateral, and therefore such insurance may not pay claims which an Obligor may have with respect to the Collateral or pay any claim which may be made against an Obligor in connection with the Collateral. In the event the Administrative Agent purchases, obtains or acquires insurance covering all or any portion of the Collateral, the Borrower shall be responsible for all of the applicable costs of such insurance, including premiums, interest (at the applicable interest rate for Revolving Loans set forth in Section 2.5), fees and any other charges with respect thereto, until the effective date of the cancellation or the expiration of such insurance. The Administrative Agent may charge all of such premiums, fees, costs, interest and other charges to the Borrower's Revolving Loan account. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the costs of the premiums of any insurance acquired by the Administrative Agent may exceed the costs of insurance which the Borrower may be able to purchase on its own. In the event that the Administrative Agent purchases such insurance, the Administrative Agent shall promptly, and in any event within 15 days, notify the Borrower of said purchase.
(e) Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default (and without limiting any other rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under any other Loan Document), (i) the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the rights of any holders of Permitted Liens holding claims senior to the Administrative Agent, have the sole right, in the name of the Administrative Agent or any applicable Obligor, to file claims under any insurance policies, to receive, receipt and give acquittances for any payments that may be payable thereunder, and to execute any and all endorsements, receipts, releases, assignments, reassignments or other documents that may be necessary to effect the collection, compromise or settlement of any claims under any such insurance policies, and (ii) all insurance proceeds in respect of any Collateral shall be paid to the Administrative Agent. In such event, the Administrative Agent shall apply such insurance proceeds to the obligations of the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.9(2).

(10) Operation and Maintenance of Property. The Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Obligor to, manage and operate its business or cause its business and property to be managed and operated (a) in accordance with prudent mining and industry practice in all material respects and in compliance in all material respects with the terms and provisions of all Authorizations and Material Contracts, and (b) in compliance with all Applicable Laws of the jurisdiction in which such businesses are carried on, and all Applicable Laws of every other Governmental Authority from time to time constituted to regulate the ownership, management and operation of such businesses, except, in each case, where a failure to so manage and operate would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(11) Security Package.
(a) Obligor Guarantee. The Borrower shall cause each present and future Subsidiary to enter into, or accede to, the Obligor Guarantee, such that such Person guarantees in favour of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, all Secured Liabilities. The obligation of a Person to accede to the Obligor Guarantee shall arise as soon as reasonably practicable after such Person becomes a Subsidiary. For the avoidance of doubt, any Person other than a Subsidiary may accede to the Obligor Guarantee and in so doing become an Obligor.
(b) GSA and Debenture. Each of the Borrower and Guarantors shall execute and deliver to in favour of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the GSA and the Debenture and such other agreements, documents and instruments as may be necessary or desirable to provide at all times in favour of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a first-priority Lien (subject only to Permitted Liens) over all of its present and future real and personal property, including the Material Brucejack Mine Real Property, together with such supporting materials as may be required to ensure the perfection or priority of such Lien. The obligation of each of the Borrower and Guarantors to provide any such Lien (to the extent such Lien has not previously been granted pursuant to the Original Security Documents) shall arise (a) in the case of the Material Brucejack Mine Real Property as of the Closing Date, in accordance with and as of the dates set forth in Schedule 5.1(8) and (b) otherwise, as soon as is reasonably practicable following the Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, acquiring assets, property or undertaking that are not already subject to a Lien that complies with the terms of this Agreement. If any Lender determines, acting reasonably, that any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender to hold or benefit from a Lien over real property pursuant to any law of the United States or any State thereof, such Lender may notify the Administrative Agent and disclaim any benefit of such security interest to the extent of such illegality; provided, that such determination or disclaimer shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such Lien for the benefit of any other Lender.
(c) Pledge of Equity Securities. The Borrower shall, and shall cause each present and future Obligor to, provide at all times in favour of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a first-priority Lien (subject only to Permitted Liens) over all present and future Equity Securities of other Obligors in which such first Obligor has any right, title or interest, together with such supporting materials as may be required to ensure the perfection or priority of such Lien. The obligation of an Obligor to provide any such Lien shall arise as soon as is reasonably practicable following such Person (i) becoming an Obligor, or (ii) acquiring Equity Securities of another Obligor that are not already subject to a Lien that complies with the terms of this Agreement. The initial Liens over the Equity Securities held by the Obligors shall be granted pursuant to the GSA.
(d) Deposit Account Control Agreements. With respect to each operating bank account maintained by any Obligor with a bank or other financial institution other than a Lender, the Borrower shall, or shall cause the relevant Obligor to, deliver to the Administrative Agent a deposit account control agreement permitting the Administrative Agent to exercise exclusive control of such operating bank account promptly upon delivery of written notice (an 'Activation Notice') to the relevant bank or financial institution, and otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably, from such bank or other financial institution (i) for each such bank account in existence as at the Closing Date, within 45 days of the Closing Date, and (ii) for each such bank account established or maintained as an operating account after the Closing Date, within 30 days of such bank account being so established or maintained. As between the parties to the Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees that it shall not deliver an Activation Notice under a deposit account control agreement absent a Default or Event of Default that is continuing.

(e) Supporting Materials.

ARTICLE 8
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

8.1 Appointment of Administrative Agent.

Each Lender hereby designates The Bank of Nova Scotia as Administrative Agent to act as herein specified and as specified in the other Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of the Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through its agents or employees. The provisions of this Article 8 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (including the Swingline Lender and the LC Issuers), and neither the Borrower nor any other Obligor shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term 'agent' as used herein or in any other Loan Document (or any similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

8.2 Secured Parties.
(a) The Security Documents shall be in favour of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

(c) The Secured Cash Management Obligations shall be secured by the Liens granted under the Security Documents and rank pari passu with (i) the Secured Hedging Obligations and (ii) the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.
(d) Notwithstanding such common security and prior to the Lender Termination Date, all decisions regarding the administration and enforcement of the Security Documents shall be made by the Lenders alone, and no Secured Hedge Counterparty or Secured Cash Management Provider (in each case, except if such party is a Lender, and then only in its capacity as a Lender) shall have any voting rights under this Agreement or any other right whatsoever to participate in the administration or enforcement of the Security Documents. For the avoidance of doubt but without limitation, prior to the Lender Termination Date any or all of the Security Documents or any rights contained therein may be amended or released by the Administrative Agent without the consent of any Secured Hedge Counterparty or Secured Cash Management Provider.
(e) Each Lender that is or becomes a Secured Hedge Counterparty or Secured Cash Management Provider shall be bound as such by virtue of its execution and delivery of this Agreement or an Assignment and Assumption, as applicable, notwithstanding that such capacity as Secured Hedge Counterparty or Secured Cash Management Provider may not be identified on its signature line.
8.3 Limitation of Duties of Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set out with respect to the Administrative Agent in this Agreement and as specified in the other Loan Documents. None of the Administrative Agent, nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it as such hereunder or in connection herewith, unless caused by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct. The duties of the Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Administrative Agent shall not have, by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Secured Party. Nothing in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement except as expressly set out herein. The Administrative Agent shall be under no duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents unless it is requested in writing to do so by the Required Lenders.

8.4 Lack of Reliance on the Administrative Agent.

(1) Independent Investigation. Independently, and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, each Lender, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (a) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Obligors in connection with the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith, and (b) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Obligors, and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the consummation of the Transactions or at any time or times thereafter.

(2) Administrative Agent Not Responsible. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the financial condition of the Obligors or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or the financial condition of the Obligors, or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default.

8.5 Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent.

If the Administrative Agent shall request instructions from the Lenders or the Required Lenders (as the case may be) with respect to any act or action (including the failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received written instructions from the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders, or, to the extent required by Section 9.2, all of the Lenders.

8.6 Reliance by Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or facsimile message, electronic mail, cablegram, radiogram, order or other documentary electronic transmission or telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan or Borrowing that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

8.7 Indemnification of Administrative Agent.

To the extent the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower, each Lender shall reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent, in proportion to its aggregate Applicable Percentage, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in performing its duties hereunder, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable to the Administrative Agent for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent's gross negligence (it being acknowledged that ordinary negligence does not necessarily constitute gross negligence) or willful misconduct.

8.8 The Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity.

With respect to its obligations under this Agreement and the Loans made by it, The Bank of Nova Scotia in its capacity as a Lender hereunder, shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not performing the duties, if any, specified herein; and the terms 'Lenders' and 'Required Lenders' and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include The Bank of Nova Scotia in its capacity as a Lender hereunder. The Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not performing the duties, if any, specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

8.9 May Treat Lender as Owner.

The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each LC Issuer may deem and treat each Lender as the owner of the Loans recorded on the Register maintained pursuant to Section 9.4(3) for all purposes hereof until a written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of a Loan shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent owner, transferee or assignee of such Loan.

8.10 Successor Administrative Agent.

(1) Replacement of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders, the LC Issuers and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, upon five Business Days' notice to the Borrower, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent (who shall not be a non-resident of Canada within the meaning of the Income Tax Act), subject to the approval of the Borrower, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent's giving of notice of resignation of the retiring Administrative Agent, then, upon five Business Days' notice to the Borrower, the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent (subject to approval of the Borrower, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), which shall be a financial institution having a combined capital and surplus of at least U.S. $1,000,000,000 (or the Equivalent Amount thereof) or having a parent company with combined capital and surplus of at least U.S. $1,000,000,000 (or the Equivalent Amount thereof).

(2) Rights, Powers, etc. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 8 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

8.11 No Independent Legal Action.

No Lender may take any independent legal action to enforce any obligation of the Borrower hereunder. Each Lender hereby acknowledges that, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Security Documents and the remedies provided thereunder to the Secured Parties are for the benefit of the Secured Parties collectively and acting together and not severally, and further acknowledges that each Lender's rights hereunder and under the Security Documents are to be exercised collectively, not severally, by the Administrative Agent upon the decision of the Required Lenders. Accordingly, notwithstanding any of the provisions contained herein or in the Security Documents, each of the Lenders hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not be entitled to take any action hereunder or thereunder, including any declaration of default hereunder or thereunder, but that any such action shall be taken only by the Administrative Agent with the prior written agreement of the Required Lenders, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in the absence of instructions from the Lenders (or the Required Lenders) and where in the sole opinion of the Administrative Agent the exigencies of the situation so warrant such action, the Administrative Agent may without notice to or consent of the Lenders (or the Required Lenders) take such action on behalf of the Lenders as it deems appropriate or desirable in the interests of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby further covenants and agrees that upon any such written consent being given by the Required Lenders (or, to the extent required by Section 9.2, the Lenders), it shall co-operate fully with the Administrative Agent to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent, and each Lender further covenants and agrees that all proceeds from the realization of the Security Documents, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, are held for the benefit of all of the Secured Parties and shall be shared among them in accordance with this Agreement, and each Lender acknowledges that all costs of any such realization (including all amounts for which the Administrative Agent is required to be indemnified under the provisions hereof) shall be shared among the Secured Parties in accordance with this Agreement. Each Lender covenants and agrees to do all acts and things and to make, execute and deliver all agreements and other instruments, so as to fully carry out the intent and purpose of this Section 8.11 and each Lender hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not seek, take, accept or receive any security for any of the obligations and liabilities of the Borrower hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, or any other document, instrument, writing or agreement ancillary hereto or thereto, other than such security as is provided hereunder or thereunder, and that it shall not enter into any agreement with any of the parties hereto or thereto relating in any manner whatsoever to the Revolving Credit, unless all of the Secured Parties shall at the same time obtain the benefit of any such security or agreement, as the case may be.

8.12 Joint Lead Arrangers.

The Joint Lead Arrangers, in such capacities, have no duties, liabilities or obligations hereunder.

8.13 Erroneous Payments by the Administrative Agent.

(1) Clawback. If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender or other Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or other Secured Party under or pursuant to any of the Loan Documents (any such Lender, other Secured Party or other recipient, a 'Payment Recipient') that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (2)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted or paid to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, other Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an 'Erroneous Payment') and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender or other Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than three Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of (x) in respect of an Erroneous Payment in U.S. Dollars, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and in respect of an Erroneous Payment in Canadian Dollars or any other currency, at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the overnight rate at which Canadian Dollars or funds in the currency of such Erroneous Payment, as the case may be, may be borrowed by the Administrative Agent in the interbank market in an amount comparable to such Erroneous Payment (as determined by the Administrative Agent), and (y) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules or prevailing market practice for interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this Section 8.13(1) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(2) Error Designation. Without limiting the immediately preceding Section 8.13(1), each Lender or other Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or other Secured Party under or pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender or Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, paid, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:

(a) (i) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent express written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary), or (ii) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and
(b) such Lender or other Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.13(2).

(3) Set-off. Each Lender or other Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set-off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or other Secured Party under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or other Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding Section 8.13(1) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(4) Assignment. In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the immediately preceding Section 8.13(1), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an 'Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency'), upon the Administrative Agent's notice to such Lender at any time:

(a) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not any of its Commitments) under any of the applicable Facilities with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the 'Erroneous Payment Impacted Facilities') in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not any of its Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Facilities, the 'Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment') at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment;

Pretium Resources Inc. - Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

- 108 -

(b) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment;
(c) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and any of its Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender; and
(d) the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment.

The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and, upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender under any of the Facilities and such Commitments under such Facilities shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender or other Secured Party under the applicable Loan Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the 'Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights').

(5) Indebtedness Satisfaction. The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Indebtedness owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from (i) the Borrower or any other Loan Party or (ii) the proceeds of realization from the enforcement of one or more of the Loan Documents against or in respect of one or more of the Loan Parties; provided that, in each case, such funds were received by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of discharging such Indebtedness.

(6) Waiver of Defences. To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including waiver of any defense based on 'discharge for value', 'good consideration' for the Erroneous Payment or change of position by such Payment Recipient, any defense that the intent of the Administrative Agent was that such Payment Recipient retain the Erroneous Payment in all events, or any doctrine or defense similar to any of the foregoing.

(7) Survival. Each party's obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 8.13 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, or any assignment or transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or an Affiliate thereof the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

(8) Affiliates. For purposes of this Section 8.13, each Lender:

(a) agrees it is executing and delivering this Agreement with respect to this Section 8.13 both on its own behalf and as agent for and on behalf of its Affiliates referred to in this Section 8.13 and any Person receiving funds under or pursuant to any of the Loan Documents on behalf of such Lender or any of such Affiliates;
(b) represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that its Affiliates referred to in this Section 8.13 and any Person receiving funds under or pursuant to any of the Loan Documents on behalf of such Lender or any of such Affiliates are bound by the provisions of this Section 8.13; and
(c) agrees that any matter or thing done or omitted to be done by such Lender, its Affiliates, or any Person receiving funds under or pursuant to any of the Loan Documents on behalf of such Lender or any of such Affiliates which are the subject of this Section 8.13 will be binding upon such Lender and such Lender does hereby indemnify and save the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates harmless from any and all losses, expenses, claims, demands or other liabilities of the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates resulting from the failure of such Lender, its Affiliates or such Persons to comply with their obligations under and in respect of this Section 8.13.

9.2 Waivers; Amendments.

(1) Waiver. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 9.2(2), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(2) Amendments. Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document (or any provision hereof or thereof) may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders (and for greater certainty, any such waiver, amendment or modification shall not require any consent or other agreement of any Obligor other than the Borrower, notwithstanding that any such Obligor may be a party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document); provided that no such agreement shall:

(a) increase the amount of any Commitment of any Lender;
(b) extend the expiry date of any Commitment of any Lender;
(c) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest or any fee applicable to any Loan or Letter of Credit other than fronting fees (provided that the Required Lenders may amend the definition of Net Leverage Ratio (Applicable Margin) or any of its constituent definitions notwithstanding any effect on the Applicable Margin);
(d) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable in respect thereof, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment (it being understood that modifications to, or waivers of, the mandatory prepayment provisions of Section 2.9(1) do not fall within this clause (d));
(e) change Section 2.16 in a manner that would alter the sharing of payments required thereby;
(f) change any of the provisions of Section 9.2 or the definition of 'Required Lenders' or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder;
(g) waive any Event of Default under Section 7.1(g), (h), or (i) (it being understood that any other Event of Default may be waived by the Required Lenders, notwithstanding that the Loans would otherwise bear a default rate of interest and be capable of falling due and payable); or

(h) release any Obligor from any material obligations under the Security Documents and other instruments contemplated by this Agreement, release or discharge any of the Liens arising under the Security Documents, permit the creation of any Liens, other than Permitted Liens, on any of the assets subject to the Liens arising under the Security Documents, lower the priority of any Lien arising under any of the Security Documents, or lower the priority of any payment obligation of any Obligor under any of the Loan Documents,

in each case without the prior written consent of each Lender, or in the case of the matters referred to in Section 9.2(2)(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e), without the prior written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby and provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or any LC Issuer hereunder, as the case may be, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or such LC Issuer (as applicable). For greater certainty, the Administrative Agent may release and discharge the Liens constituted by the Security Documents or an Obligor from the Obligor Guarantee to the extent necessary to enable an Obligor to complete any Asset Disposition which is not prohibited by this Agreement. The Administrative Agent may also subordinate the Liens constituted by the Security Documents to any Lien permitted by Section 6.1(2) if and to the extent such Lien was intended to have priority over the Liens constituted by the Security Documents, as determined by the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably.

9.3 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(1) Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (a) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of external counsel for the Administrative Agent and all applicable Taxes, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein and the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (b) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of external counsel for the Administrative Agent and applicable Taxes, in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or of any of the other Loan Documents, (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), and (c) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers or any Lender, including the documented fees, charges and disbursements of external counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Lenders (on the understanding that such Persons shall be represented on a collective basis by one firm of outside counsel and, if necessary, one firm of local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction) and all applicable Taxes, in connection with the assessment, enforcement or protection of their rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under Section 9.3, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.

(2) Indemnity. The Borrower shall indemnify the Joint Lead Arrangers and each Secured Party, as well as each Related Party and each assignee of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person and each such assignee being called an 'Indemnitee') against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, cost recovery actions, damages, expenses and liabilities of whatsoever nature or kind and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and all applicable Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) to which any Indemnitee may become subject resulting from or in connection with (a) the execution or delivery of the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder, and the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions thereunder, (b) any Loan or Letter of Credit or any actual or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, including, subject to the terms of this Agreement, any refusal by an LC Issuer to honour a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (c) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by an Obligor, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to an Obligor, (d) any actual or prospective third party claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, or (e) the enforcement of any Indemnitee's rights hereunder and any related assessment, investigation, defence, preparation of defence, litigation and enquiries; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence (it being acknowledged that ordinary negligence does not necessarily constitute gross negligence) or wilful misconduct of, or material breach of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other document, waiver or consent delivered in connection therewith by, such Indemnitee. The Borrower will have the right, at its expense, to assume the defence of any third party claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to the foregoing (including settlement on terms approved by the Borrower and Required Lenders, acting reasonably). Any Indemnitee shall have the right to counsel of its own choice to represent it, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnitee unless (i) the Borrower has failed promptly to assume the defence and employ counsel satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably, or (ii) such Indemnitee shall have been advised by counsel that there exist actual or potential conflicting interests between the Borrower and such Indemnitee;

(3) Lender Responsibility for Unpaid Expenses and Indemnity. To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid under Sections 9.3(1) or (2), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or such LC Issuer (as applicable) such Lender's Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or such LC Issuer, in its capacity as such.

(4) Inspections for Administration. Any inspection of any property of any Obligor made by or through the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be for purposes of administration of the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement only, and no Obligor shall be entitled to rely upon the same (whether or not such inspections are at the expense of the Borrower).

(5) No Representation. By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed, fulfilled or given to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall be deemed to have warranted or represented the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute a warranty or representation to anyone with respect thereto by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders.

(6) Relationship Between Parties. The relationship between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrower and lenders. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall under any circumstances be construed to be partners or joint venturers of the Borrower or its Affiliates. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall under any circumstances be deemed to be in a relationship of confidence or trust or a fiduciary relationship with the Borrower or its Affiliates, or to owe any fiduciary duty to the Borrower or its Affiliates. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders undertake or assume any responsibility or duty to the Borrower or its Affiliates to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform the Borrower or its Affiliates of any matter in connection with their property or the operations of the Borrower or its Affiliates. The Borrower and its Affiliates shall rely entirely upon their own judgment with respect to such matters, and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information undertaken or assumed by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in connection with such matters shall be solely for the protection of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any other Person shall be entitled to rely thereon.

(7) Limitation of Liability. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be responsible or liable to any Person for any loss, damage, liability or claim of any kind relating to injury or death to Persons or damage to property caused by the actions, inaction or negligence of any Obligor or its Affiliates, and the Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless on the terms set out in Section 9.3(2) from any such loss, damage, liability or claim.

(8) Agreement Between Parties. The parties agree that this Agreement is made for the purpose of defining and setting forth certain obligations, rights and duties of the Borrower, the other Obligors, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the Loans, and is made for the sole benefit of the Borrower, the other Obligors, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and their respective successors and assigns.

9.4 Successors and Assigns.

(1) Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of an LC Issuer that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (a) the Borrower shall not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void), and (b) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with Section 9.4(2). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of an LC Issuer that issues any Letter of Credit) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(2) Assignment by Lenders. Any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that (a) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or a Lender Affiliate, the prior written consent of the Borrower and, in the case of an assignment of all or a portion of a Revolving Commitment or any Lender's obligations in respect of its LC Exposure or Swingline Exposure, each LC Issuer and the Swingline Lender, must be obtained in respect of any assignment, which consent from the Borrower or LC Issuers, as applicable, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided further that it shall not be unreasonable for the Borrower to withhold its consent to any proposed assignment by a Lender in favour of any Person: (i) which the Borrower, acting reasonably, determines (and so advises the relevant Lender and the Administrative Agent) to be a fund or other Person that customarily invests in distressed or weakened debt or other securities with a view to then obtaining a larger interest in the target entity or otherwise to be acting in the capacity of a vulture fund, (ii) which is not engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in credit facilities for commercial customers in the ordinary course of such Person's business, or which at the time of such assignment holds any Subordinated Debt of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; and (b) except in the case of an assignment of any Commitment to an assignee that is a Lender with a Commitment immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment, the Administrative Agent must give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (c) the Borrower's consent (including, for certainty, with respect to the matters in clause (d) below) shall not be required with respect to any assignment made at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (d) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or a Lender Affiliate or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date on which the Assignment and Assumption relating to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than U.S. $5,000,000, unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent in writing and the amount held by each Lender after each such assignment shall not be less than U.S. $5,000,000, unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent in writing, (e) each partial assignment in respect of a Commitment and the related Loans shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of such Commitment and the related Loans, (f) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with (except in the case of an assignment to a Lender) a processing and recordation fee of U.S. $3,500, payable by the assigning Lender, (g) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire, and (h) no assignment may be made to any Obligor, any Affiliate of an Obligor, or a Defaulting Lender or a Lender Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender. The Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower and each Lender with written notice of any change in (or new) address of a Lender disclosed in an Administrative Questionnaire. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 9.4(4), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, shall have all of the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12(2), 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.3). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with Section 9.4 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 9.4(5).

(3) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Toronto, Ontario a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the 'Register'). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuers, and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any LC Issuer and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(4) Acceptance and Recording of Assignments. Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee's completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.4(2) and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 9.4(2), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this Section 9.4(4).

(5) Participations. Any Lender may, without notice to the Borrower or the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or the LC Issuers, sell participations to one or more Persons (a 'Participant') that is not a competitor of the Obligors in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (a) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (b) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (c) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuers and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that (d) such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender shall not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.2(2) that affects such Participant, and (e) the Participant shall agree to maintain the confidentiality of Information (as defined in Section 9.16) on terms and conditions substantively similar to those contained in Section 9.16. Subject to Section 9.4(6), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12(2), 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.3 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.4(2). To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.11 as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.16(4) as though it were a Lender.

(6) Rights of Participant. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.12(2), 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.3 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant (for certainty, if the applicable Lender is not entitled to any payment under such sections, the Participant shall not be entitled to any payment thereunder), unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower's prior written consent.

(7) Lender Pledge of Security. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and Section 9.4 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(8) Borrower's Obligations. Any assignment or grant of a participation pursuant to Section 9.4 shall constitute neither a repayment by the Borrower to the assigning or granting Lender of any Loan included therein, nor a new advance of any such Loan to the Borrower by such Lender or by the assignee or Participant, as the case may be. The parties acknowledge that the Borrower's obligations hereunder with respect to any such Loans shall continue and shall not constitute new obligations as a result of such assignment or participation.

9.5 Anti-Money Laundering Legislation.

(1) Information. The Borrower acknowledges that, pursuant to AML Legislation, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent may be required to obtain, verify and record information regarding the Borrower, its directors, authorized signing officers, direct or indirect shareholders or other Persons in control of the Borrower, and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Borrower shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, or any prospective assignee or participant of a Lender or the Administrative Agent, in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence.

Pretium Resources Inc. - Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

- 117 -

(2) Role of Agent. If the Administrative Agent has ascertained the identity of the Borrower or any authorized signatories of the Borrower for the purposes of applicable AML Legislation, then the Administrative Agent:

(a) shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for each Lender, and this Agreement shall constitute a 'written agreement' in such regard between each Lender and the Administrative Agent within the meaning of applicable AML Legislation; and
(b) shall provide to each Lender copies of all information obtained in such regard without any representation or warranty as to its accuracy or completeness.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, each of the Lenders agrees that the Administrative Agent has no obligation to ascertain the identity of the Borrower or any authorized signatories of the Borrower on behalf of any Lender, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from the Borrower or any such authorized signatory in doing so.

9.6 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and
(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
9.7 Survival.

All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuers or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. Section 9.3 and Article 8 shall survive and remain in full force and effect, regardless of the consummation of the Transactions, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof (provided that with respect to Section 9.3 any such obligations shall be unsecured).

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be executed either in original or faxed or other electronic form and the parties adopt any signatures received by a receiving fax machine or via e-mail as original signatures of the parties; provided, however, that any party providing its signature in such manner shall promptly forward to the other parties an original of the signed copy of this Agreement which was so faxed or e-mailed.

9.10 Severability.

Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability and shall be severed from the balance of this Agreement, all without affecting the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

9.11 Right of Set Off.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Secured Party is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of any Obligor against any of and all of the obligations of the Obligors now or hereafter existing under the Loan Documents held by such Secured Party, irrespective of whether or not such Secured Party shall have made any demand under any Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured and regardless of the currency of the deposit. The rights of each Secured Party under this Section 9.11 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set off) which such Secured Party may have.

9.12 Governing Law.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the laws of Canada applicable in that Province and shall be treated, in all respects, as a British Columbia contract.

9.13 Attornment.

Each party hereto agrees (a) that any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement may (but need not) be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the Province of British Columbia, and for that purpose now irrevocably and unconditionally attorns and submits to the jurisdiction of such British Columbia court, (b) that it irrevocably waives any right to, and shall not, oppose any such British Columbia action or proceeding on any jurisdictional basis, including forum non conveniens, and (c) not to oppose the enforcement against it in any other jurisdiction of any judgment or order duly obtained from a British Columbia court as contemplated by this Section 9.13.

9.14 Service of Process.

Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.1. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law.

9.15 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (a) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (b) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.15.

9.16 Confidentiality.

The Administrative Agent, each LC Issuer and each Lender shall maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to each of their Affiliates, Lender Affiliates (in the case of a Lender), directors, officers, employees, agents, insurers and advisors, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent required by any Governmental Authority, (c) to the extent required by Applicable Law or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing in connection with the exercise of any remedies under any Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document or the enforcement of rights thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.16, to any actual or prospective assignee of or Participant in any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or to any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any Hedging Arrangement with an Obligor, (g) to their auditors in connection with any audit (provided that such disclosure is limited solely to the existence of this Agreement and the obligations of the relevant Lender or Lender Affiliates thereunder), (h) with the consent of the Borrower, or (i) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.16, or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer, or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section 9.16, 'Information' means all information received from or on behalf of any Obligor relating to any Obligor, any of their subsidiaries or Affiliates, or their respective business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer, the Joint Lead Arrangers, or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by such Obligor. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.16 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Secured Parties and the Obligors agree that Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP and Lawson Lundell LLP may inform league table services, such as Thomson Financial and Bloomberg, and make mention in its promotional publications and the media generally of its representation of the Secured Parties or Obligors, as applicable, with respect to the Transactions.

9.17 No Strict Construction.

The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favouring or disfavouring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

9.18 Paramountcy.

In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any other Loan Document then, notwithstanding anything contained in such other Loan Document, the provisions contained in this Agreement shall prevail to the extent of such conflict or inconsistency and the provisions of such other Loan Document shall be deemed to be amended to the extent necessary to eliminate such conflict or inconsistency, it being understood that the purpose of the other Loan Documents is to add to, and not detract from, the rights granted to the Administrative Agent (for its own benefit and the benefit of the other Secured Parties) under this Agreement. If any act or omission of any or all Obligors is expressly permitted under this Agreement but is expressly prohibited under any other Loan Document, such act or omission shall be permitted. If any act or omission is expressly prohibited under any other Loan Document, but this Agreement does not expressly permit such act or omission, or if any act is expressly required to be performed under any other Loan Document but this Agreement does not expressly relieve any or all Obligors from such performance, such circumstance shall not constitute a conflict or inconsistency between the applicable provisions of such other Loan Document and the provisions of this Agreement.

9.19 Excluded Swap Obligations.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, any Excluded Swap Obligations of a Guarantor shall be excluded from:

(a) the definition of 'Secured Liabilities' in any Loan Document as it pertains to such Guarantor, and no Lien granted by a such Guarantor under any Loan Document shall secure any Excluded Swap Obligations; and
(b) the definition of 'Debtor Liabilities' in the Obligor Guarantee as it pertains to such Guarantor, and no Excluded Swap Obligations shall be guaranteed or indemnified by such Guarantor under any Loan Document.
9.20 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

NO CLAIM MAY BE MADE BY ANY OBLIGOR, ANY SECURED PARTY OR ANY OTHER PERSON AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (AS OPPOSED TO DIRECT OR ACTUAL DAMAGES) ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR AS RESULT OF, ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS, OR ANY ACT, OMISSION OR EVENT OCCURRING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, AND EACH OBLIGOR AND SECURED PARTY HEREBY WAIVE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ALL SUCH CLAIMS, WHETHER OR NOT ACCRUED AND WHETHER OR NOT KNOWN OR SUSPECTED TO EXIST IN ITS FAVOUR.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.

LITIGATION

1. Bear Creek, Blue Max, More Core and Lakelse Air Ltd. Actions

On April 24, 2017, Bear Creek Contracting Ltd. ('Bear Creek') filed a Notice of Civil Claim against the Borrower and Pretium Exploration (the 'Bear Creek Action') alleging that the Borrower owes Bear Creek Cdn. $14,562,000 in general damages in connection with work undertaken at the Brucejack Mine transmission line. The Bear Creek Action was filed in the Supreme Court of British Columbia. The Borrower filed a Response to Civil Claim on July 31, 2017, opposing all of the claims and allegations made. Bear Creek has since brought an application for summary judgment, which is currently adjourned. Notices of Civil Claim have also been filed by Blue Max Drilling Inc. (April 24, 2017), More Core Diamond Drilling Services Ltd. ('More Core') (March 27, 2017) and Lakelse Air Ltd. (February 23, 2018) who were subcontractors working under Bear Creek. Responses to Civil Claim have been filed in those actions and the claims are understood to be subsumed in the amount claimed by Bear Creek. More Core applied to, among other things, claim a direct contractual relationship with the Borrower. More Core's application has been adjourned generally. If More Core's application is successful, it is not expected to affect the amount sought against the Borrower. In August 2020, the Supreme Court of British Columbia heard Bear Creek's application to add parties to the Bear Creek Action and amend its pleadings, including with respect to the Company, and ruled partially in favour of Bear Creek in this application on October 14, 2020. In February 2021, Bear Creek filed a notice of intention to make a proposal under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act. The Borrower is participating in those proceedings as a creditor of Bear Creek.
