Ladies and Gentlemen:
COÖPERATIEVE CENTRALE RAIFFEISEN-BOERENLEENBANK B.A., “RABOBANK NEDERLAND”, NEW YORK BRANCH (the “Lender”) is pleased to inform you that the Lender has established for you, A-MARK PRECIOUS METALS, INC. (the “Company”), a U.S. $50,000,000 uncommitted line of credit available for loans pursuant to this Line Letter (this “Agreement”).
Each loan or other extension of credit shall be used only for the purpose of financing the Company’s inventory and trade accounts receivable arising from sale thereof to unaffiliated companies, unless otherwise agreed by the Lender.

Facilities:

The uncommitted line of credit shall be available by means of two facilities as follows:

Facility 1 – USD 0mln uncommitted bilateral secure transactional facility;

Facility 2 – USD 50mln participation in an uncommitted secured borrowing base facility (Facility 1 and Facility 2, collectively, the “Facilities” and individually a “Facility”). For the avoidance of doubt, Facility 1 is unavailable until such time as the Facility 1 amount is amended to be increased from zero.

All loans shall be payable on demand but in any event not later than 90 days after the date made, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Lender.
The Company’s obligations to the Lender will be secured by a perfected security interest in all personal property of the Company. All other financial institutions which extend credit to the Company and which have security interests in personal property of the Company will enter into an intercreditor agreement with the Lender, in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender
(as amended, modified, supplemented or replaced from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”).
The Company may request a loan at or before 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date the Company wishes to borrow (or the date (3) Business Days prior thereto), by delivering to the Lender a borrowing request substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. If the Lender agrees to make the requested loan or, the Lender will do so upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein and in the other Loan Documents (as defined below). The loans will be evidenced by a promissory note in substantially the form annexed hereto as Exhibit B (as amended, modified, supplemented or replaced from time to time, the “Note”). Each request for a loan shall be irrevocable.
In the event that at any time the outstanding principal amount of loans under a Facility shall exceed the maximum amount specified for such Facility as set forth above, the Company shall immediately pay outstanding loans in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.
In the event that at any time the loans owed to the Lender under Facility 1 exceed the Specific Collateral Limit (as defined in Exhibit D hereto), the Company shall immediately pay outstanding loans under Facility 1 in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.
In the event that at any time the loans made by the Lender under Facility 2 plus the sum of the principal amount of loans owed to other lenders from time to time party to the Intercreditor Agreement (each, an “Intercreditor Lender”), the maximum face amount of outstanding letters of credit issued by any Intercreditor Lender and reimbursement obligations with respect to drawings under any letter of credit issued by any Intercreditor Lender, shall exceed the Collateral Value as reported in the Collateral Report most recently delivered pursuant to the then current Collateral Value pursuant to paragraph (a)(iii) of Appendix A hereto (an “Excess”), the Company shall immediately, pay outstanding loans under Facility 2 and reimbursement obligations to the Lender and/or the Intercreditor Lenders in an amount sufficient to eliminate such Excess.
Documentation; No Commitment:
All promissory notes and other documents requested by the Lender in connection with this Agreement must be in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender. Also, the Lender asks the Company to note carefully that this is not a “committed” line of credit. No commitment fee will be charged, and the Lender may withdraw the line of credit at any time, with or without notice. Moreover, the Lender has no obligation to extend credit at any time, and the making of each loan shall be in the Lender’s sole discretion. NOTHING HEREIN CONTAINED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE NEXT PARAGRAPH, THE EVENTS OF DEFAULT BELOW AND THE COVENANTS IN APPENDIX A, IS INTENDED TO OR SHALL MODIFY THE UNCOMMITTED NATURE OF THE CREDIT FACILITY OR SHALL IMPOSE ANY IMPLIED OBLIGATION ON THE LENDER TO EXTEND CREDIT AT ANY TIME.


Interest and Fees:
Without undertaking to make any loan, and without agreeing to any particular rate of interest or fees, the Lender notes for the Company’s information that:
(a)Loans under Facility 1 shall bear interest at a rate equal to not less than ___%* per annum in excess of the LIBOR, as defined in the Note, or 1.60% in excess of the Base Rate, as defined in the Note, as the Company shall elect.
