A.                                    A new Section 9.2 is hereby inserted in its numeric location in Article 9 of the Existing Agreement as follows:

9.2       Vendor Right of First Offer on Copper Interest

(a)                                 If at any time and from time to time, Purchaser or any of its Affiliates wishes to offer for sale to any third party or, following an offer by a third party to purchase any of its rights to acquire Refined Copper under this Agreement (a “Purchaser Copper Right”), then the Purchaser shall, by notice in writing to the Vendor, first offer to sell back such Purchaser Copper Right to the Vendor for cancellation (or at the option of the Vendor, for sale to an affiliate of the Vendor) at the price and upon substantially the terms that the Purchaser proposes to offer or accept from a third party (which offer the Purchaser shall promptly provide to the Vendor) (the “Purchaser Offer”).

(b)                                 Upon receipt of a Purchaser Offer, the Purchaser and the Vendor shall negotiate in good faith for a period of up to 45 days (or such longer period as may be required to give the Parties five (5) Business Days to negotiate a Definitive Agreement following resolution of an Apportionment dispute in accordance with Section 9.2(d)) commencing on the date of delivery by the Purchaser to the Vendor of the Purchaser Offer (the “Negotiation Period (Vendor)”) the definitive terms of an agreement for cancellation or sale, as the case may be, of the Purchaser Copper Right which is the subject of the Purchaser Offer (the “Definitive Agreement (Vendor)”).

If, during the Negotiation Period (Vendor), the Vendor and the Purchaser agree on the terms of the Definitive Agreement (Vendor), then the Vendor and the Purchaser shall enter into the Definitive Agreement (Vendor) and proceed to close the transaction as soon as commercially reasonable thereafter pursuant to the terms of such Definitive Agreement (Vendor). If, during the Negotiation Period (Vendor), the Vendor and the Purchaser are unable to agree on the terms of, and enter into, the Definitive Agreement (Vendor), then, on the earlier of (i) the last day of the Negotiation Period (Vendor), and (ii) the day on which the Vendor and the Purchaser agree that negotiations have ended, the Purchaser may commence negotiations with a third party for the sale of the Purchaser Copper Right which is the subject of the Purchaser Offer, and, either directly or through an Affiliate, sell the Purchaser Copper Right that is the subject of the Purchaser Offer to a third party, provided that the terms of sale are no more favourable to such third party than those offered to the Vendor in the Purchaser Offer.

(c)                                  For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9.2 shall not apply to any (i) copper spot sales, copper forward sales or options or other copper sales or copper loans to a financial institution or copper industry participant, (ii) internal transfers among Purchaser and its Affiliates, (iii) a sale of substantially all of the assets of the Purchaser, (iv) the sale of an equity interest in the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or (v) any Transfer under Section 10.2.

(d)                                 In the event that Purchaser or any of its Affiliates wishes to offer for sale to any third party, or receives an offer by a third party to purchase, a Purchaser Copper Right in a transaction that also includes an interest in Produced Gold under this Agreement or any rights under this Agreement in respect of Produced Gold (a “Combination Transaction”) then Purchaser shall include in the Purchaser Offer its apportionment of the total consideration between gold and copper (the “Apportionment”), which shall be prepared by Purchaser in good faith.  Vendor shall have five (5) Business Days, to

14

dispute the Apportionment by delivery of a written notice to Purchaser (the “Combination Transaction Dispute Notice”), which notice shall contain Vendor’s proposed Apportionment.  If Vendor fails to deliver a Combination Transaction Dispute Notice within such five (5) Business Day period, Vendor shall be deemed to have accepted the Apportionment for purposes of this Section 9.2.  If Vendor timely delivers a Combination Transaction Dispute Notice, then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to try to agree on the Apportionment and, if necessary, the identity of an Appraiser to determine the Apportionment.  If the Parties fail to reach agreement on an Appraiser within three (3) Business Days from the date of delivery of the Combination Transaction Dispute Notice, then Purchaser shall immediately submit the name and qualifications of its proposed Appraiser to Vendor (the “Purchaser Appraiser”). Vendor shall have five (5) Business Days from expiry of such three (3) Business Day period to accept the Purchaser Appraiser as the sole appraiser of the dispute.  If the Vendor accepts the Purchaser Appraiser as the sole appraiser of the dispute (the “Agreed Appraiser”), the Apportionment shall be determined by such Agreed Appraiser as set forth below.  If the Vendor fails to accept the Purchaser Appraiser as the sole appraiser of the dispute within such five (5) Business Day period, then the Vendor shall select an appraiser (the “Vendor Appraiser”) and notify Purchaser of the identity of the Vendor Appraiser within such five (5) Business Day period.  Within the three (3) Business Days following the selection of the Vendor Appraiser, each of the Vendor Appraiser and the Purchaser Appraiser shall, acting reasonably, attempt to agree on a third person to act as an Appraiser (the “Third Appraiser”) and failing agreement between them nominate three (3) persons to serve as a potential Third Appraiser.  If such lists contain a single common person, such person shall be the Third Appraiser hereunder.  If such lists contain more than one common person, the Third Appraiser shall be selected by lot among such common persons.  If such lists do not contain any common persons, then the Vendor Appraiser and Purchaser Appraiser shall, acting reasonably, attempt to agree on a Third Appraiser and failing agreement between them continue to nominate three (3) additional persons on each successive Business Day thereafter until one or more common persons are contained on such lists, following which the Third Appraiser shall be determined as set forth above.   The Apportionment shall be determined as follows:

(i)                                     If there is an Agreed Appraiser, such Agreed Appraiser shall submit to the Parties a report within seven (7) Business Days of its engagement setting forth the Apportionment. The expenses of the Agreed Appraiser shall be borne equally by the Parties.  The determination of the Agreed Appraiser as to the Apportionment shall be final and binding upon all parties (absent manifest or clerical error).

(ii)                                  If there is not an Agreed Appraiser, then each of the Vendor Appraiser, the Purchaser Appraiser and the Third Appraiser shall submit to the Parties a report within seven (7) Business Days of their respective engagements setting forth each such Appraiser’s determination of the Apportionment.  The expenses of the Vendor Appraiser shall be borne by Vendor, the expenses of the Purchaser Appraiser shall be borne by Purchaser, and the expenses of the Third Appraiser shall be born equally by the Parties.  The calculations of each Appraiser shall be final and binding for purposes of the following sentence (absent manifest or clerical error).  If this Section 9.2(d)(ii) is applicable, the “Apportionment” for purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to be the average of the determination of each of the Vendor Appraiser, the Purchaser Appraiser and the Third Appraiser.  The Appraisers shall act as, and shall be deemed to act as, experts and not arbitrators.

15

The Apportionment, as mutually agreed upon between the Parties or as resolved pursuant to this Section 9.2(d), shall be deemed to be the purchase price of the Purchaser Copper Right for purposes of the last clause the last sentence of Section 9.2(b).

7.                                      Amendment to Section 10.5(a) of the Existing Agreement.

The words and punctuation “subject to Section 9.2,” are hereby inserted after the words and punctuation “Thereafter,” in the last sentence of Section 10.5 of the Existing Agreement.

The value of any such overdue payment associated with Refined Copper owed to the Purchaser under this Agreement shall be based on the Reference Price (Copper) on the date such Refined Copper became overdue, and the Purchaser may elect to receive such overdue payment in Refined Copper (in accordance with Section 2.2B(d)) or as a set off against future Copper Purchase Price payments owed to the Vendor under Section 2.5.

11.                               Amendments to Section 15.4 of the Existing Agreement.

A.                                    Section 15.4(a)(i) of the Existing Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following language before the punctuation and words “), as applicable (the “Dispute Period”);”:
