- 50 -

(i)

The Borrower may, at any time on or before the 10th Banking Day following the receipt of the Accepting Lender Notice, by written request to the Agent (each, an "Acquisition Request Notice"), a copy which shall be provided by the Agent to each Lender within one Banking Day of the Agent receiving same, request that the rights and obligations of the Declining Lenders be assigned in accordance with this Section 2.4 and the following shall apply:

	(A)	Any Accepting Lender may, at its option, acquire all or any portion of the rights and obligations of the Declining Lenders under the Loan Documents (all of such rights and obligations being herein called the "Available Amount") by giving written notice to the Agent (an "Acquisition Notice") of the portion of the Available Amount which it is prepared to acquire (the "Desired Acquisition Amount") provided that it and/or any of its Affiliates who are Lenders (as defined in the Hudbay ARCA) under the Hudbay ARCA have collectively provided an identical Acquisition Notice (as defined in the Hudbay ARCA) (with only such changes as are necessary to reflect the involvement of such Affiliate) under Section 2.5 of Hudbay ARCA. Such Acquisition Notice shall be given within 10 days following the giving of the Acquisition Request Notice by the Borrowers to the Agent (such deadline being herein called the "Acquisition Deadline"). If only one Accepting Lender gives an Acquisition Notice to the Agent or if more than one Accepting Lender gives an Acquisition Notice to the Agent but the aggregate of their Desired Acquisition Amounts is less than or equal to the Available Amount, then each such Accepting Lender shall be entitled to acquire its Desired Acquisition Amount of the rights and obligations of the Declining Lenders under the Loan Documents. If more than one Accepting Lender gives an Acquisition Notice to the Agent and the aggregate of the Desired Acquisition Amounts is greater than the Available Amount, then each such Accepting Lender shall be entitled to acquire a pro rata share of the rights and obligations of the Declining Lenders under the Loan Documents, such pro rata share being determined based on the relative Desired Acquisition Amount of each such Accepting Lender.

	(B)	Promptly following the Acquisition Deadline, the Agent shall give to the Borrower and each Lender a written notice identifying the Available Amount of each Declining Lender and the portion thereof to be acquired by each Accepting Lender. Each of such acquisitions shall be completed on the date which is five Banking Days following the Acquisition Deadline, in accordance with the procedures set out in Section 11.2.

- 51 -

	(C)	If the Available Amount is not completely acquired by the Accepting Lenders, the Borrower may locate New Lenders, to acquire all or a portion of the balance of the rights and obligations of the Declining Lenders under the Loan Documents on the date which is 20 Banking Days following the Acquisition Deadline, in accordance with the procedures set out in Section 11.2.

	(D)	Any outstanding Commitment of the Declining Lenders which is not acquired by Accepting Lenders or New Lenders under Sections 2.5(d)(i)(B) or 2.5(d)(i)(C) shall be repaid by the Borrower, and the Commitments of the Declining Lenders not so acquired shall be cancelled on the then applicable Maturity Date and the amount of the Credit shall thereupon be reduced by the aggregate of the Commitments so cancelled, if any.

2.6

Interest Rates and Fees

(a) Interest rates on Base Rate Advances and LIBOR Advances and the rates for calculation of L/C Fees shall be determined on a Pricing Date in accordance with the table set forth below based on the Total Net Debt to EBITDA Ratio based on the Compliance Certificate delivered in respect of the most recently completed fiscal quarter, as applicable, and the applicable interest rate established on a Pricing Date shall remain in effect until the next Pricing Date. If the Borrower has not delivered its financial statements and Compliance Certificate by the date such financial statements and Compliance Certificate are required to be delivered under Section 8.3 hereof, until such financial statements and Compliance Certificate are delivered, the applicable interest rate shall, on the first day after the latest date by which the Borrower was so required to provide such financial statements and Compliance Certificate, be set at the highest interest rate. Each determination of the applicable interest rate made by the Agent in accordance with the foregoing shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders if reasonably determined. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.6, for the purpose of determining the interest rate applicable from the Effective Date until the delivery of the financial statements and Compliance Certificate in respect of the fiscal quarter ending on or about March 31, 2017, the Total Net Debt to EBITDA Ratio shall be deemed to be greater than 2.5:1.0.

≥ 2.5:1.0	3.50%	2.33%	2.50%	3.50%	0.7875%

All figures in the table represent per cent per annum. Each of the amounts specified above, other than the standby fees, shall be increased by 2% per annum if a Default has occurred and is continuing. If a Default is disclosed by a Compliance Certificate, any increase shall be applied beginning as of the end of the fiscal period to which the Compliance Certificate relates.

(b) Interest shall accrue and be payable on Base Rate Advances at the Base Rate, plus the relevant figure shown under "Base Rate Advances" in the table in Section 2.6(a) .. Interest shall accrue and be payable on LIBOR Advances at the LIBO Rate plus the relevant figure shown under "LIBOR and Other Advances" in that table.

The rate for calculation of L/C Fees for Performance Letters of Credit shall be the relevant figure shown under "L/C Fee (Performance L/C)" in that table.

(c) The Borrower shall pay interest and fees at the applicable rate specified in Section 2.6(a) to the Agent at the Branch of Account on Advances outstanding from time to time. The Borrower shall pay interest on Base Rate Advances on each Interest Payment Date. The Borrower shall pay interest on each LIBOR Advance on the last day of the applicable LIBOR Period and, if the LIBOR Period is longer than three months, every three months after the date of the relevant LIBOR Advance. The Borrower shall pay L/C Fees quarterly in arrears on the first Banking Day following each of Hudbay's fiscal quarters.

(d) The Borrower shall pay a standby fee on the daily unadvanced portions of the Credit (which for clarity shall, for the purposes of this Section 2.6(d), be equal to the Maximum Available Amount less any amounts outstanding hereunder) at the rate specified under "Standby Fee" in the table in Section 2.6(a) . The standby fee shall be calculated daily beginning on the Effective Date and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first Banking Day following each of Hudbay's fiscal quarters. On final payment of the Obligations, the Borrower shall also pay any accrued but unpaid standby fees.

(e) The Agent shall distribute interest and fees for the Credit to the Lenders based on their respective Applicable Percentages.

Credit Excess

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, if at any time the aggregate principal amount of all Advances exceeds the Maximum Available Amount, the Borrower shall immediately repay the aggregate outstanding Advances to the extent required to eliminate such excess. If the Borrower is unable to immediately do so because LIBOR Periods have not ended, the Borrower shall immediately on demand post Cash Collateral with the Agent in the amount of the excess, and that Cash Collateral shall be held as security for the Obligations until the amount of the excess is paid in full.

2.9

Pari Passu

Subject to Section 9.11, all amounts owing in respect of the Obligations and the Other Secured Obligations shall rank pari passu with each other. Notwithstanding that any Person ceases to be a Lender for any reason, Other Secured Obligations shall not cease to rank pari passu with the Obligations (and secured by any security that may be held from time to time by or for the benefit of the Lenders) without the prior written consent of the applicable former Lender or Affiliate to whom the Other Secured Obligations are owed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Other Secured Obligations owing to a Person who has ceased to be a Lender or its Affiliates shall not include any such Other Secured Obligations incurred on or after the date such Person has ceased to be a Lender for any reason.

- 54 -

(b) If at any time the Borrower establishes or acquires a Material Subsidiary, or a Subsidiary that was not previously a Material Subsidiary becomes a Material Subsidiary or any Material Subsidiary that was previously unable to be an Obligor is able to become an Obligor, the Borrower shall, subject to Section 3.1(a), promptly cause that Subsidiary to become an Obligor, adopt this Agreement by delivering an agreement in the form of Schedule 3.1(b) so as to be bound by all of the terms applicable to Obligors as if it had executed this Agreement as an Obligor, and deliver a Guarantee as required by Section 3.1(a) and deliver Guarantor Security Documents as required by Section 4.2.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Other Secured Obligations owing to a Person who has ceased to be a Lender or its Affiliates shall not include any such Other Secured Obligations incurred on or after the date such Person has ceased to be a Lender for any reason. If the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Commitments have been cancelled, the Lenders and Affiliates shall release their interest in the Guarantees (and any such security) on receiving Cash Collateral to secure the Other Secured Obligations, in an amount satisfactory to the Lenders and Affiliates to whom Other Secured Obligations are owed.

Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement by reason of payment of the Credit, or for any other reason (but subject always to the last sentence of Section 3.2(a)(iii)), the Other Secured Obligations shall continue to be guaranteed by the Guarantees (and secured if applicable), except as to former Lenders or their Affiliates as provided in Section 3.2(a)(iii) .

(b) Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligations under this Section 6.1 in respect of L/Cs are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any L/C, the occurrence and continuance of a Default or the reduction or termination of its Commitment, and that any payment it is required to make pursuant to its obligations shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(c) If any Lender fails to take the actions required under this Section 6.1, the Agent may, without prejudice to the other rights of the Lenders, make such adjustments to the payments to the defaulting Lender under this Agreement as are necessary to compensate the other Lenders for the defaulting Lender's failure.

- 63 -

6.2

Evidence of Indebtedness

The Agent shall maintain records concerning the Obligations and each Lender shall maintain records concerning those Advances it has made and the Issuing Banks shall maintain records concerning those L/Cs issued by them. The records maintained by the Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks shall constitute prima facie evidence of the Obligations and all related details, absent manifest error. The failure of the Agent, the Issuing Banks or any Lender to correctly record any detail relating to an Advance shall not, however, adversely affect the obligation of the Borrower to pay any of the Obligations in accordance with this Agreement.

6.3

Calculation and Other Matters Regarding Interest and Fees

(a) All interest on Base Rate Advances and LIBOR Advances shall accrue from day to day and shall be payable in arrears, calculated on the actual number of days elapsed from and including the date of Advance or the previous date on which interest was due in accordance with Section 2.6, as the case may be, to but excluding the date on which interest is due. If interest is not paid on the date it is due, the principal amount shall continue to bear interest at the rate that is applicable to the particular type of Advance from time to time in accordance with Section 2.6(a), both before and after maturity, default and judgment, and overdue interest shall bear interest at the same rate, compounded monthly, and be payable on demand. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, upon the expiry of the LIBOR Period applicable to any LIBOR Advance, the principal amount and any overdue interest with respect to that LIBOR Advance shall bear interest calculated at the rates applicable to Base Rate Advances.

(b) Interest and fees shall be calculated on the basis of a calendar year unless otherwise specified. Interest calculated with reference to the LIBO Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days. Any rate that is calculated with reference to a period (the "deemed interest period") that is less than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation is, for the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), equivalent to a rate based on a calendar year calculated by multiplying that rate of interest by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing by the number of days in the deemed interest period. All calculations of interest and fees under the Loan Documents shall be made on the basis of the nominal rates described in this Agreement and not on the basis of effective yearly rates or on any other basis that gives effect to the principle of deemed reinvestment. The Parties acknowledge that there is a material difference between the stated nominal rates and effective yearly rates taking into account reinvestment, and that they are capable of making the calculations required to determine effective yearly rates.

(c) In this Section 6.3, any reference to a "calendar year" means the calendar year in which the period for which the calculation in question falls. If the period falls in two calendar years, one of which is a leap year, the calculation shall be done separately for the parts of the period that fall in each calendar year and the calculated amounts for each period shall be added.

(d) The L/C Fee for an L/C is calculated by multiplying the face amount of the L/C by the rate for calculation of the L/C Fee specified in Section 2.6, and multiplying the result by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed from and including the issuance or renewal of the L/C or the previous date on which the L/C Fee was due, as the case may be, to but excluding the date on which the L/C Fee is due or the L/C is drawn or cancelled, as the case may be, and the denominator of which is the number of days in the calendar year.

- 64 -

(e) The standby fee shall be calculated daily on the undrawn amount of the applicable Credit at the rate for calculation of the standby fee specified in Section 2.6, beginning on the Effective Date, and each payment shall cover the period from and including the Effective Date or the previous date on which the standby fee was due in accordance with Section 2.6, as the case may be, to but excluding the date on which the standby fee is due.

(f) If the Borrower fails to pay when due any amount payable under any Loan Document for which interest is not otherwise provided in this Agreement or another relevant Loan Document, the Borrower shall, on demand, pay interest on the overdue amount to the Agent from and including the due date up to but excluding the date of actual payment, both before and after demand, default or judgment, at the rate of interest determined from time to time in accordance with Section 2.6(a) that is applicable to Base Rate Advances, in each case compounded monthly.

(g) If the Borrower deposits cash as Cash Collateral pursuant to a requirement under this Agreement, the Agent or the Lender or Lenders holding the cash shall pay the Borrower interest on the cash while it continues to be held as Cash Collateral at the rate offered by the relevant Lenders from time to time for deposits in the relevant currency of comparable size and term.

(h) The Parties intend to comply with Applicable Law relating to usury. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in no event shall any Loan Document require the payment or permit the collection of interest or other amounts in an amount or at a rate in excess of the amount or rate that is permitted by Applicable Law or in an amount or at a rate that would result in the receipt by the Lenders or the Agent of interest at a criminal rate, as the terms "interest" and "criminal rate" are defined under the Criminal Code (Canada). Where more than one Applicable Law applies to any Obligor, that Obligor shall not be obliged to make payment in an amount or at a rate higher than the lowest permitted amount or rate. If from any circumstance whatever, fulfilment of any provision of any Loan Document would result in exceeding the highest rate or amount permitted by Applicable Law for the collection or charging of interest, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to reflect the highest permitted rate or amount. If from any circumstance the Agent or the Lenders shall ever receive anything of value as interest or deemed interest under any Loan Document that would result in exceeding the highest lawful rate or amount of interest permitted by Applicable Law, the amount that would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount of the Credit, and not to the payment of interest, or if the excessive interest exceeds the unpaid principal balance of the Credit, the amount exceeding the unpaid balance shall be refunded to the Borrower. For the purposes of the Criminal Code (Canada), the effective annual rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles and if there is any dispute, the determination of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Agent shall be conclusive.

6.4

Conversions, Rollovers, Renewals, Repayments and Reductions

(a) Subject to the other terms of this Agreement, the Borrower may from time to time:

	(i)	convert all or any part of the outstanding amount of any LIBOR Advance into a Base Rate Advance in the same principal amount, or vice versa;

	(ii)	rollover all or any part of the outstanding amount of any LIBOR Advance at the end of the LIBOR Period as a new LIBOR Advance or rollover all;

	(iii)	renew an L/C at its maturity date by extending the maturity date; and

	(iv)	in circumstances not mentioned in items (i) to (iii) immediately above, concurrently repay one Advance and obtain a different type of Advance.

(b) Subject to giving notice required by Section 6.5, the Borrower may from time to time repay Advances outstanding under the Credit without penalty, except that LIBOR Advances may not be paid or converted before the end of the applicable LIBOR Periods unless the Borrower indemnifies the relevant Lenders for any loss or expense that the Lenders incur as a result, including any breakage costs; and (c) The Borrower may from time to time, by giving not less than five Banking Days' notice to the Agent and paying all accrued and unpaid standby fees on the amount to be cancelled or reduced to the effective date of cancellation or reduction, irrevocably notify the Agent of the cancellation of the Credit or of the permanent reduction of the committed amount of the Credit by an amount that must be a minimum of US$10,000,000 and a whole multiple of US$1,000,000. Any reduction shall be applied pro rata to the respective Commitments of the Lenders under the Credit. The Borrower shall have no right to any reinstatement of any previously committed amount of the Credit after any cancellation or reduction.

6.5

Notice of Advances and Payments

(a) The Borrower shall give the Agent irrevocable written notice, in the form attached as Schedule 6.5(a), of any request for any Advance to them. The Borrower shall also give the Agent irrevocable written notice in the same form of any payment by it of any Advance (whether resulting from repayment, prepayment, rollover or conversion).

(b) Notice for LIBOR Advances shall be given not later than the third Banking Day before the Advance Date or date of payment. Notice for an Advance by way of L/C shall be given not later than the third Banking Day before the Advance Date or at such earlier time as the relevant Issuing Bank may reasonably require so that it has sufficient time to review the proposed form of L/C. In the case of the notice for an L/C, such notice shall, inter alia, stipulate which Issuing Bank shall be the issuing bank. Notice for a Base Rate Advance shall be given on or before the Banking Day before the Advance Date or date of payment.

- 66 -

(c) Notices shall be given not later than 10:00 a.m. on the date for notice. Payments (except those being made solely from the proceeds of rollovers and conversions) must be made before 11:00 a.m. on the date for payment. If a notice or payment is not given or made by those times, it shall be deemed to have been given or made on the next Banking Day, unless all Lenders affected by the late notice or payment agree, in their sole discretion, to accept a notice or payment at a later time as being effective on the date it is given or made.

6.6

Size and Term of Advances

(a) Each Base Rate Advance shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of US$5,000,000 and in a whole multiple of US$1,000,000.

(b) Each LIBOR Advance shall be in minimum amount of US$5,000,000 and a whole multiple of US$1,000,000. In its notice requesting a LIBOR Advance, the Borrower shall select a LIBOR Period of one, two, three or six months to apply to such particular LIBOR Advance.

(c) Terms of LIBOR Periods of lengths other than those specified in Section 6.6(b) shall also be available at the discretion of the Lenders from time to time and the Agent may, in circumstances of market disruption or illiquidity, restrict the term or maturity dates of LIBOR Advances. There shall not at any time be LIBOR Advances outstanding with more than 12 different maturity dates. No LIBOR Period may end on a date that is not a Banking Day, after the Maturity Date, or after a date on which the Credit is required to be reduced if that would adversely affect the Borrower's ability to make the reduction.

(d) Each L/C issued under this Agreement shall have a term that is not more than one year after its issuance date or renewal date (which may extend beyond the then- current Maturity Date), but may provide for automatic extension of its term for successive periods of up to one year each as long as the Issuing Banks have the right to avoid automatic extension by giving notice to the beneficiary of the L/C before the extension becomes effective. An L/C may otherwise be renewed by the Borrower subject to complying with the terms of this Agreement applicable to an Advance by way of L/C. On the Maturity Date or the cancellation of the Credit, the Borrower shall arrange for all outstanding L/Cs to be returned to the relevant Issuing Bank for cancellation or, with the consent of the relevant Issuing Bank, provide Cash Collateral to the relevant Issuing Bank in an amount sufficient (in the opinion of such Issuing Bank) to fully secure all outstanding L/Cs and all L/C Fees for the remainder of their respective terms, in which case the Cash Collateral shall be held by the relevant Issuing Bank in place of the Security.

6.7

Payment of LIBOR Advances and L/Cs

(a) Subject to Section 9.2 and Section 9.9, the Borrower shall provide for the following by giving notice under Section 6.5 requesting a rollover or conversion if the Borrower is otherwise entitled to an Advance, or by delivery of payment:

(i)

to the Agent at the Branch of Account of the amount of each LIBOR Advance for value on the last day of the applicable LIBOR Period; and

- 67 -

(ii)

to the relevant Issuing Bank, as directed by such Issuing Bank, of each amount paid to the beneficiary of the L/C for value on the date on which such Issuing Bank makes a payment.

(b) If the Borrower fails to provide for payment in accordance with Section 6.7(a), the Agent shall deem a Base Rate Advance to have been made in the case of failure to provide for a LIBOR Advance or US Dollar L/C. The Agent shall immediately give notice of a deemed Advance to the Borrower and the Lenders and, in the case of a deemed Advance relating to an L/C, the Lenders shall remit their respective shares of the Advance to the Agent for the account of the relevant Issuing Banks.

6.8

Co-ordination Base Rate and LIBOR Advances

(a) The Agent shall advise each Lender of its receipt of a notice pursuant to Section 6.5 requesting a Base Rate or LIBOR Advance on the day that notice is received from the Borrower and shall, as soon as possible, advise each Lender of that Lender's share of the Advance. Each Lender's share shall be based on its Applicable Percentage, but if the Agent determines that a Lender's Applicable Percentage would result in its share of an Advance not being a whole multiple of US$1,000, the Agent may increase or reduce the amount to be advanced by that Lender in the Agent's sole discretion to the extent necessary to make the amount a whole multiple.

(b) The LIBOR Period applicable to a LIBOR Advance shall be identical for each Lender.

(c) Each Lender shall deliver its share of the Advance to the Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Advance Date, for value on that date. Unless the Agent otherwise notifies a Lender, the amount to be delivered by such Lender shall be net of the amount required to repay other Advances it has made that are being repaid, rolled over or converted on that date.

(d) If the Agent determines that all the conditions precedent to an Advance specified in this Agreement have been met, it shall advance to the Borrower the amount delivered by each Lender by crediting the Designated Account before 2:00 p.m. on the Advance Date, but if the conditions precedent to the Advance are not met by 2:00 p.m. on the Advance Date, the Agent shall return the funds to the Lenders or invest them in an overnight investment as orally instructed by each Lender until the Advance is made.

(e) Any difference between the actual proceeds of an Advance and the amount required to repay any Advance that is concurrently being repaid and any difference between the actual proceeds of an Advance and the amount required to fulfill any specific use of the proceeds that the Borrower has directed the Agent to make, shall be paid by the Borrower to the Agent from its own resources by 1:00 p.m. on the Advance Date.

6.9

Inability to Determine Rates, Etc.

If the Majority Lenders determine that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBO Rate for any requested LIBOR Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Advance, or that the LIBO Rate for any requested LIBOR Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Advance does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Advance, the Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Advances shall be suspended until the Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing, conversion or continuation of LIBOR Advances or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a borrowing of Base Rate Advances in the amount specified therein.

- 68 -

6.10

Issuance and Use of L/Cs

(a) A request for an Advance by way of L/C shall be made by the Borrower in accordance with Section 6.5, except that a copy of the request shall be sent directly to the relevant Issuing Bank. The Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of the receipt of a request for an L/C, but L/Cs shall only be issued by the Issuing Banks as fronting banks for all Lenders. A request shall include the details of the L/C to be issued. The Issuing Banks shall promptly notify the Borrower of any comment concerning the form of the L/C requested by the Borrower and shall, if the Borrower is otherwise entitled to an Advance, issue the L/C to the Borrower on the Advance Date or as soon afterwards as the Issuing Banks are satisfied with the form of L/C to be issued.

(b) The Borrower shall not directly or indirectly use or provide an L/C as security for loans or advances from any other Person.

6.11

Reimbursement Obligation - L/Cs

Notwithstanding Section 6.7 or any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower's obligation to reimburse the Issuing Banks for a payment to a beneficiary of an L/C shall be absolute and unconditional, but without prejudice to the Borrower's right, after reimbursing the Issuing Banks, to claim damages from the Issuing Banks for matters arising from the Issuing Banks' wilful misconduct or gross negligence. The Borrower's obligation shall not be reduced by any demand or other request for payment of an L/C (a "Demand") that is paid or acted on in good faith and in conformity with Applicable Laws or applicable commercial customs or practices being invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged, nor shall the Borrower's obligation be subject to any defence or be affected by any right of set-off, counter-claim or recoupment that the Borrower may have now or in the future against the beneficiary, the Issuing Banks or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, including the fact that the Issuing Banks paid a Demand or Demands (if applicable) aggregating up to the amount of the L/C notwithstanding any contrary instructions from the Borrower to the Issuing Banks or the occurrence of any event including the commencement of legal proceedings to prohibit payment by the Issuing Banks of a Demand. Any action, inaction or omission taken or suffered by the Issuing Banks under or in connection with an L/C or any Demand, if in good faith and in conformity with Applicable Laws or applicable customs or practices shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not place the Issuing Banks under any resulting liability to the Borrower. Without limiting the foregoing, the Issuing Banks may receive, accept or pay as complying with the terms of the L/C, any Demand that is otherwise in order that may be signed by, or issued to, any administrator, executor, trustee in bankruptcy, receiver or other Person or entity acting as the representative or in place of, the beneficiary. The Borrower shall not take any steps, issue any instructions to the Issuing Banks or any of its correspondents or institute any proceedings intended to derogate from the right or ability of the Issuing Banks or its correspondents to honour or pay any Demand.

- 69 -

6.12

Failure of Lender to Fund

(a) Unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender before the proposed date of any Advance that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender's share of such Advance, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement concerning funding by Lenders and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If a Lender has not in fact made its full share of the applicable Advance available to the Agent, then the applicable Lender shall pay to the Agent forthwith on demand 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 Agent, at a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with prevailing banking industry practice on interbank compensation. If such Lender pays such amount to the Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender's Advance. If the Lender does not pay such amount forthwith, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon at the interest rate applicable to the Advance in question. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that has failed to make such payment to the Agent.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 6.12(a), if any Lender fails to make available to the Agent its Applicable Percentage of any Advance (that Lender being the "Non-Funding Lender"), the Agent shall forthwith give notice of that failure by the Non-Funding Lender to the Borrower and the other Lenders. The Agent shall then forthwith give notice to the other Lenders that any Lender may make available to the Agent all or any portion of the Non-Funding Lender's Applicable Percentage of that Advance (but in no way shall any other Lender or the Agent be obliged to do so) in the place of the Non-Funding Lender. If more than one Lender gives notice that it is prepared to make funds available in the place of a Non-Funding Lender in those circumstances and the aggregate of the funds which those Lenders (collectively the "Contributing Lenders" and individually the "Contributing Lender") are prepared to make available exceeds the amount of the Advance which the Defaulting Lender failed to make, then each Contributing Lender shall be deemed to have given notice that it is prepared to make available its Applicable Percentage of that Advance based on the Contributing Lenders' relative commitments to advance in those circumstances. If any Contributing Lender makes funds available in the place of a Non-Funding Lender in those circumstances, then the Non-Funding Lender shall pay to any Contributing Lender making the funds available in its place, forthwith on demand, any amount advanced on its behalf together with interest thereon at the rate applicable to that Advance from the date of advance to the date of payment, against payment by the Contributing Lender making the funds available of all interest received in respect of the Advance from the Borrower. The failure of any Lender to make available to the Agent its Applicable Percentage of any Advance as required herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make available to the Agent its Applicable Percentage of any Advance as required herein.

- 70 -

6.13

Payments by the Borrower

(a) All payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement shall be made to and received by the Agent and shall be distributed by the Agent to the Lenders as soon as possible upon receipt by the Agent. Except as required to make payments in respect of the Other Secured Obligations or as otherwise provided in this Agreement (including Section 6.14), the Agent shall distribute:

	(i)	repayments of principal in accordance with each Lender's Applicable Percentage of the Credit; or

	(ii)	all other payments received by the Agent including amounts received on the enforcement of Guarantees, in accordance with each Lender's Applicable Percentage of the Credit except that with respect to proceeds of enforcement, no Lender shall receive an amount in excess of the amounts owing to it in respect of the Obligations.

(b) If the Agent does not distribute a Lender's share of a payment made by the Borrower to that Lender for value on the day that payment is made or deemed to have been made to the Agent, the Agent shall pay to the Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) the Interbank Reference Rate per annum multiplied by (ii) the Lender's share of the amount received by the Agent from the Borrower and not so distributed, multiplied by (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that have elapsed from and including the date of receipt of the payment by the Agent to but excluding the date on which the payment is made by the Agent to such Lender and the denominator of which is 365. The Agent shall be entitled to withhold any Tax applicable to any payment as required by Applicable Law.

6.14

Payments by Agent

(a) For greater certainty, the following provisions shall apply to any and all payments made by the Agent to the Lenders hereunder:

	(i)	the Agent shall be under no obligation to make any payment (whether in respect of principal, interest, fees or otherwise) to any Lender until an amount in respect of that payment has been received by the Agent from the Borrower;

	(ii)	if the Agent receives less than the full amount of any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amount owing by the Borrower under this Agreement, the Agent shall have no obligation to remit to each Lender any amount other than such Lender's Applicable Percentage of that amount which is the amount actually received by the Agent;

- 71 -

	(iii)	if any Lender advances more or less than its Applicable Percentage of the Credit, that Lender's entitlement to that payment shall be increased or reduced, as the case may be, in proportion to the amount actually advanced by such Lender;

	(iv)	except as specified in any applicable Assignment and Assumption, if a Lender's Applicable Percentage of an Advance has been advanced, or a Lender's Commitment has been outstanding, for less than the full period to which any payment (other than a payment of principal) by the Borrower relate, that Lender's entitlement to that payment shall be reduced in proportion to the length of time such Lender's Applicable Percentage of the Credit or such Lender's Commitment, as the case may be, has actually been outstanding;

	(v)	the Agent acting reasonably and in good faith shall, after consultation with the Lenders in the case of any dispute, determine in all cases the amount of all payments to which each Lender is entitled and that determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be binding and conclusive; and

	(vi)	on written request from any Lender, the Agent shall deliver to the Lenders a statement detailing any of the payments to the Lenders referred to herein.

(b) Unless the Agent has received written notice from the Borrower before the date on which any payment is due to the Agent for the account of any Lender that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute the amount due to the Lenders. In that event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender 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 Agent, at a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with prevailing banking industry practice on interbank compensation.

Suspension of Lenders' Obligations

Without prejudice to the rights which arise out of this Agreement or by law, the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default shall, while such Default or Event of Default shall be continuing, relieve the Lenders of all obligations to make any Advances hereunder (whether or not any notice in respect of any such Advance shall have been received by the Agent prior to the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default) or to accept or comply with any notice or to convert any Advance into a Libor Advance (except, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, a conversion permitted by the Agent in its discretion in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.4) or to accept any notice in respect of a rollover of a Libor Advance.

The rights of the Agent and/or each of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff, consolidation of accounts and bankers' lien) that the Agent and/or the Lenders or their respective Affiliates may have. The Agent and each Lender agrees to promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent (or in the case of the Agent, the Lenders) after any such setoff and application, but the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. If any Affiliate of the Agent or a Lender exercises any rights under this Section 9.10, it shall share the benefit received in accordance with Section 10.6 as if the benefit had been received by the Lender of which it is an Affiliate.

(c) The Agent shall be entitled to receive a fee for acting as Agent as agreed between the Agent and the Borrower from time to time.

(a) Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

(b) Each Lender represents and warrants that it has the legal capacity to enter into this Agreement pursuant to its Constating Documents and any Applicable Law and has not violated its Constating Documents or any Applicable Law by so doing.

(c) Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Agent and hold it harmless (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower), rateably according to its Applicable Percentage (and not jointly or jointly and severally) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel, which may be incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or the transactions therein contemplated. However, no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses resulting from the Agent's gross negligence or wilful misconduct. The Agent shall not be required to take or continue any action unless the Agent has received sufficient funds or arrangements satisfactory to it for indemnification to cover the cost of the proposed action.

- 119 -

(d) To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Sections 13.8(a) and 13.8(b) to be paid by it to the Agent (or any subagent or Related Party thereof), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent (or any subagent or Related Party) 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 Agent (or any such subagent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Agent (or any such subagent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section are subject to the other provisions of this Agreement concerning several liability of the Lenders.

(e) Each of the Lenders acknowledges and confirms that in the event that the Agent does not receive payment in accordance with this Agreement, it shall not be the obligation of the Agent to maintain the Credit in good standing nor shall any Lender have recourse to the Agent in respect of any amounts owing to such Lender under this Agreement.

(f) Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to advance its Applicable Percentage of Advances in accordance with the terms of this Agreement is independent and in no way related to the obligation of any other Lender hereunder.

(g) Each Lender acknowledges receipt of a copy of this Agreement, the Guarantees (to the extent that the Guarantees have been delivered) and any Intercreditor Agreement existing as of the Effective Date and acknowledges that it is satisfied with the form and content of such documents.

10.10

Collective Action of the Lenders

Each of the Lenders hereby acknowledges that to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the remedies provided under the Loan Documents to the Lenders are for the benefit of the Lenders collectively and acting together and not severally and further acknowledges that its rights hereunder and under the Guarantees, the Security Documents and any security are to be exercised not severally, but by the Agent in accordance with the Loan Documents. Accordingly, notwithstanding any of the provisions contained in any Loan Document, 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 Agent in accordance with the Loan Documents. Each of the Lenders hereby further covenants and agrees that upon any such written agreement being given, it shall co-operate fully with the Agent to the extent requested by the Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the absence of instructions from the Lenders and where in the sole opinion of the Agent, acting reasonably and in good faith, the exigencies of the situation warrant such action, the Agent may without notice to or consent of the Lenders take such action on behalf of the Lenders as it deems appropriate or desirable in the interest of the Lenders.

The consent of the Borrower referred to above shall not be required if a Default has occurred and is continuing. The Agent may also be removed at any time by the Required Lenders upon 30 days' notice to the Agent and the Borrower as long as the Required Lenders, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint and obtain the acceptance of a successor within such 30 days, which shall be a Lender having an office in Toronto or an Affiliate of any such Lender with an office in Toronto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Required Lenders shall not be obligated to consult with the Borrower if a Default has occurred and is continuing.

(b) If no such successor has been so appointed by the Required Lenders and has accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications specified in the immediately preceding paragraph, provided that if the Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that the retiring Agent shall continue to hold the Guarantees and any security held by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for in the preceding paragraph.

Defaulting Lenders

(a) The Issuing Banks shall not be obligated to issue L/Cs to the extent of any Defaulting Lender's or Impacted Lender's Applicable Percentage thereof, unless arrangements satisfactory to the Issuing Banks have been entered into with the Borrower or with the Defaulting Lender or Impacted Lender to eliminate the Issuing Banks' risk with respect to such Defaulting Lender or Impacted Lender (such as depositing Cash Collateral with the Agent for the benefit of the Issuing Banks).

(b) While it is a Defaulting Lender or Impacted Lender, a Lender shall not be entitled to share in an L/C Fee in respect of any L/C, (i) the amount of which is reduced pursuant to Section 10.13(a), or (ii) to the extent that the Borrower has entered into arrangements with the Issuing Banks to eliminate the Issuing Banks' risk with respect to such Defaulting Lender or Impacted Lender. In the case of (ii), no L/C Fee shall be payable on the portion of the L/C for which the Borrower has entered into those arrangements with the Issuing Banks.

10.14

Reference Lenders

(b) If any Reference Lender ceases to be a Lender, the Person that originally designated that Reference Lender shall have the right to designate prior to such Reference Lender ceasing to be a Lender another Lender that is a named on Schedule I of the Bank Act (Canada), failing which the applicable rate shall be determined on the basis of the quotation provided by the notice from the remaining Reference Lender.

(c) If only one Lender is a bank named on Schedule I of the Bank Act (Canada), that Lender shall be deemed to be the Reference Lender and any applicable rate shall be determined on the basis of the quotation provided by that Lender.

	(B)	the proposed assignee is a bank whose senior, unsecured, non- credit enhanced, long term debt is rated at least A3, A- or A low by at least two of ▇▇▇▇▇'▇, S&P and DBRS Limited, respectively;

	(v)	any assignment must be approved by the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless the proposed assignee is itself already a Lender (or an Affiliate of a Lender) or a Default has occurred and is continuing; provided that the Parties acknowledge and agree that the consent of the Borrower's shall not be considered to have been unreasonably withheld if it is withheld as a result of any proposed assignment to a Foreign Lender where as a result of such assignment any withholding taxes would be exigible in respect of such Foreign Lender;

	(vi)	no assignment shall be permitted unless immediately following such assignment:

	(A)	the aggregate Applicable Percentage of the assigning Lender together with the Applicable Percentage held by any Lender which is its Affiliate will be equal to the aggregate Applicable Percentage (as defined in the Hudbay ARCA) of the assigning Lender together with the Applicable Percentage (as defined in the Hudbay ARCA) held by any Lender which is its Affiliate under the Hudbay ARCA; and

	(B)	the aggregate Applicable Percentage of the applicable Eligible Assignee together with the Applicable Percentage held by any Lender which is its Affiliate will be equal to the aggregate Applicable Percentage (as defined in the Hudbay ARCA) of the applicable Eligible Assignee together with the Applicable Percentage (as defined in the Hudbay ARCA) held by any Lender which is its Affiliate under the Hudbay ARCA; and

The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent 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, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

11.4

- 125 -

(b) Subject to the immediately following paragraph, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 13.9 and 13.10 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.2.

11.5

Certain Pledges

13.4

Governing Law

(a) Each of the Loan Documents, except for those which expressly provide otherwise, shall be conclusively deemed to be a contract made under, and shall for all purposes be governed by and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Province of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable in Ontario. Each Obligor irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its Property, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario, and any appellate court from any of those courts, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Applicable Law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Obligor or its Property in the courts of any jurisdiction. Each Obligor irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in court any of the Province of Ontario. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the defence of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

This appointment shall be irrevocable without the prior consent of the Required Lenders upon the appointment of a substitute agent acceptable to the Required Lenders acting reasonably and, until that time, service of process or of papers and notices relating to proceedings in any court in Ontario upon Hudbay shall be sufficient service on all Obligors.

13.5

Conflicts

In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and any other Loan Document, the applicable terms of this Agreement shall govern.

13.6

Judgment Currency

To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, if any judgment or order is rendered and expressed in a currency other than the currency (the "Agreement Currency") in which amounts are payable under the Credit (i) for the payment of any amount owing by the Borrower in respect of the Credit or this Agreement, or (ii) in respect of a judgment or order of another court for the payment of any amount described in (i) above, the Agent and the Lenders, after recovery in full of the aggregate amount to which the Agent and the Lenders are entitled pursuant to the judgment or order, will be entitled to receive immediately from the Borrower the amount of any shortfall in the Agreement Currency received by the Agent or the Lenders as a consequence of sums paid in such other currency and will refund promptly to the Borrower any excess of the Agreement Currency received by the Lender as a consequence of sums paid in such other currency if such shortfall or such excess arises or results from any variation between the rate of exchange at which the Agreement Currency is converted into the currency of the judgment or order for the purposes of such judgment or order and the rate of exchange at which the Agent or the Lenders are able, acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith in converting the currency received into the Agreement Currency, to purchase the Agreement Currency with the amount of the currency of the judgment or order actually received by the Lender. The term "rate of exchange" includes, without limitation, any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of or conversion into the Agreement Currency. Any amount due from the Borrower under the provisions of this Section 13.6 shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of the Credit or this Agreement.

- 131 -

(c) All amounts due under this Section 13.8 shall be payable promptly after demand therefor. A certificate of the Agent or a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts owing to the Agent, Lender or a sub-agent or Related Party, as the case may be, as specified in this Section, including reasonable detail of the basis of calculation of the amount or amounts, and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

13.9

Taxes

(a) If any Obligor, the Agent, or any Lender is required by Applicable Law to deduct or pay any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) in respect of any payment by or on account of any obligation of an Obligor hereunder or under any other Loan Document, then (i) the deductions shall be assumed by the Obligor in accordance with Article 47 of the Peruvian Income Tax Law or, if this were not possible, the sum payable shall be increased by that Obligor when payable as necessary so that after making or allowing for all required deductions and payments (including deductions and payments applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or payments been required, (ii) the Obligor shall make any such deductions required to be made by it under Applicable Law and (iii) the Obligor shall timely pay the full amount required to be deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

- 132 -

(b) Without limiting the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Agent or such Lender and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other 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 (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by an Obligor to a Governmental Authority, the Obligor shall deliver to the 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 Agent.

(e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of Canada, or any treaty to which Canada is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall, at the request of Hudbay or the Agent, deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent), at the time or times reasonably requested by Hudbay or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.

(f) If the Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which an Obligor has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section or that, because of the payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes, it has benefited from a reduction in Excluded Taxes otherwise payable by it, it shall pay to the Borrower or the Obligor, as applicable, an amount equal to such refund or reduction (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower or Obligor under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund or reduction), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any net after-Tax interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). The Borrower and each Obligor, as applicable, upon the request of the Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower or Obligor (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Agent or such Lender if the Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund or reduction to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person, to arrange its affairs in any particular manner or to claim any available refund or reduction.

- 133 -

13.10

Increased Costs, Etc.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

	(i)	impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender;

	(ii)	subject any Lender to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Advance made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof, except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 13.9 and the imposition, or any change in the rate, of any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender; or

	(iii)	impose on any Lender or any applicable interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Advances made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Advance (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Advance), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then upon request of such Lender the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender's holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's capital or on the capital of such Lender's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Advances made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or its holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's policies and the policies of its holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in this Section, including reasonable detail of the basis of calculation of the amount or amounts, and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

- 134 -

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's right to demand such compensation, except that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months before the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender's intention to claim compensation therefor, unless the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, in which case the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

13.11

Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 13.10, or requires the Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 13.9, then such Lender shall use reasonable commercial efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 13.9 or 13.10, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment unless the Borrower has repaid or replaced the Lender in accordance with Section 13.11(b) .

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 13.10, 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 13.9, if any Lender's obligations are suspended pursuant to Section 13.14 or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Advances hereunder, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon 10 days' notice to such Lender and the Agent, either (i) repay all Obligations to the Lender and reduce the amount of the Credit by an amount equal to the Lender's Commitment, or (ii) require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.2), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

	(i)	in the case of an assignment, the Borrower pays the Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 11.2(a)(vii);

	(ii)	the Lender receives payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any breakage costs and amounts required to be paid under this Agreement as a result of prepayment to a Lender) from any assignee and/or the Borrower;

- 135 -

	(iii)	in the case of any assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 13.10 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 13.9, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

	(iv)	any assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law.

(c) A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation or accept repayment 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 or repayment cease to apply.

13.12

FATCA

(a) If the Agent reasonably believes that its obligations under FATCA or any other applicable law or regulation requires it, each Lender shall supply to the Agent:

	(i)	a withholding certificate on Form W-8, Form W-9 or any other relevant form; or

	(ii)	any withholding statement or other document, authorization or waiver as the Agent may require to certify or establish the status of such Lender under FATCA or that other law or regulation;

unless it is unlawful for the Lender to do so.

(b) The Agent shall provide any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorization or waiver it receives from a Lender pursuant to paragraph (a) above to the Borrower.

(c) If any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver provided to the Agent by a Lender pursuant to paragraph (a) above is or becomes materially inaccurate or incomplete, that Lender shall promptly update it and provide such updated withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver to the Agent unless it is unlawful for the Lender to do so (in which case the Lender shall promptly notify the Agent). The Agent shall provide any such updated withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver to the Borrower.

(d) The Agent may rely on any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorization or waiver it receives from a Lender pursuant to paragraph (a) or (c) above without further verification. The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by it under or in connection with this Section 13.12.

13.13

Anti-Money Laundering Legislation

(a) The Obligors acknowledge that, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada) and other applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, government sanction and "know your client" Laws (collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, "AML Legislation"), the Lenders and the Agent may be required to obtain, verify and record information regarding the Hudbay Group, their directors, authorized signing officers, direct or indirect shareholders or other Persons in control of the Hudbay Group, and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Obligors shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Lender or the Agent, or any prospective assignee or participant of a Lender or the Agent, in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence.

- 136 -

(b) If the Agent has ascertained the identity of any Hudbay Group Member or any authorized signatories of a Hudbay Group Member for the purposes of applicable AML Legislation, then the Agent:

	(i)	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 Agent within the meaning of applicable AML Legislation; and

	(ii)	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 Agent has no obligation to ascertain the identity of any Hudbay Group Member or any authorized signatories of the Obligors 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.

13.14

Illegality

If any Lender determines that any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make or maintain any Advance (or to maintain its obligation to make any Advance), or to determine or charge interest rates based upon any particular rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Agent, any obligation of such Lender with respect to the activity that is unlawful shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), prepay or, if conversion would avoid the activity that is unlawful, convert any Advances or take any necessary steps with respect to any L/C 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.

- 137 -

13.15

Notices

(c) Notices and other co mmunications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Agent in writing, except that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender of Advances to be made if the Lender has notified the Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices relating to Advances by electronic communication. The Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it in writing, but approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

(d) Unless the Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender's receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the "return receipt requested" function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), except that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Banking Day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

13.18

Counterparts and Facsimile

(a) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.

- 139 -

(c) The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that none of the Agent or the Lenders shall have any liability to it in relation to any due diligence investigations conducted by any of them in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or be under any obligation whatsoever to disclose to them any information received or facts disclosed by any such investigations. The Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that it is not relying, will not rely, and will not be deemed, in any respect whatsoever, to have relied upon the facts received by and information disclosed to any of the Agent or the Lenders under or in connection with such due diligence investigations.

(d) Each party hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other Person has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other Person 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 and the other Loan Documents by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section.

Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 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. In addition, the Agent may disclose to any agency or organization that assigns standard identification numbers to loan facilities such basic information describing the Credit as is necessary to assign unique identifiers (and, if requested, supply a copy of this Agreement), it being understood that the Person to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to make available to the public only such Information as such Person normally makes available in the course of its business of assigning identification numbers.
