Re:    Amended and Restated Uncommitted Facility Letter

Dear Sirs:

The purpose of this letter (this “Uncommitted Facility Letter”) is to outline the parameters of an uncommitted guidance facility (the “Facility”) available from BNP Paribas (the “Bank”) for A-Mark Precious Metals, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Obligor”) for the making of loans (each, an “Advance” and, collectively, the “Advances” or the “Accommodations”).

This Uncommitted Facility Letter amends and restates in its entirety that certain Line Letter, dated April 4, 2001, between the Bank (assigned from Fortis Capital Corp.) and the Obligor (as the same was subsequently amended, the “Original Uncommitted Facility Letter”). All Accommodations previously made available to the Obligor under such Original Uncommitted Facility Letter and outstanding on the date hereof shall be Accommodations under and be subject to the terms of this Uncommitted Facility Letter and the other Facility Documents referred to herein as though originally made pursuant hereto and thereto.

An “uncommitted guidance facility” means that the Bank shall have no obligation to issue or grant any Accommodation. Each request made by the Obligor for an Accommodation shall be reviewed by the Bank on a case by case basis and the decision to grant any such Accommodation shall be made by the Bank in its absolute and sole discretion and irrespective of whether or not the Obligor is in compliance with any of the guidelines, terms, provisions, conditions or covenants set forth below. The Bank also reserves the right to summarily refuse any request for an Accommodation without any review as contemplated by the preceding sentence. Accordingly, the Bank has no commitment to make any Accommodation available. The Bank also reserves the right to cancel the Facility at any time as it elects in its sole discretion and without notice to the Obligor.

The uncommitted facility described herein is available through the New York office of the Bank, unless otherwise agreed in writing in the sole discretion of the Bank.

Obligor:
A-Mark Precious Metals, Inc.

Type:
Uncommitted guidance facility.

Purpose:
To provide secured Accommodations based upon Collateral Value, as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement (as described herein), for the purpose of financing (a) the purchase of precious metals and coins inventory (collectively “Product”) and the receivables arising therefrom, (b) the making of loans to Collateral Finance Corporation (as described herein), and (c) such other included assets to support certain working capital requirements of the Obligor’s activities.

Availability
And Maturity:
No request for any Accommodation may be made after May 31, 2016, unless the Bank, in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so, extends such date.

All Accommodations are payable by the Obligor on the earliest of (i) any specified maturity thereof or as otherwise agreed to by the Bank, or (ii) ON DEMAND; provided, that, the existence of a maturity date for any Advance shall not in any way limit the demand nature of such Advance and the Bank’s right to at any time (before such maturity date) demand payment of such Advance.

Maximum
Availability:
Up to the lower of (i) US$40,000,000 (“Maximum Amount”) and (ii) the amount the by which the Collateral Value (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) exceeds the aggregate amount (the “Other Lender Accommodations”) of Outstanding Credits (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) of the Other Lenders (as defined below). The value of Other Lender Accommodations shall be set forth on the face of each Collateral Report (as defined below).

Intercreditor Agreement” shall mean the Second Amended and Restated Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of September 4, 2014 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified or replaced from time to time), by and among the Bank, the Obligor, RB International Finance (USA) LLC (f/k/a RZB Finance LLC, Natixis, New York Branch, ABN AMRO Capital USA LLC, Coöperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen-Boerenleenbank B.A., “Rabobank International”, New York Branch, HSBC Bank USA, N.A, and Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. in its capacity as both a lender and as agent for itself and the other lenders party thereto.

Other Lenders” shall mean the banks and financial institutions which extend credit to the Obligor and are party to (or shall become a party to in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement) the Intercreditor Agreement.

In no event shall the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Advances exceed the Maximum Availability at any time.

Please note that the Bank may modify the Maximum Amount or add, modify or eliminate any sublimits at any time at its sole discretion.

A sublimit is an indication of the Bank’s present view of the maximum amount that it might consider for particular types of Accommodations. Notwithstanding any such sublimit, the Bank has no commitment to make any Accommodation available. Accordingly, under no circumstances should the incorporation by the Bank of a sublimit from time to time be construed as an agreement or commitment by the Bank to provide any Accommodation within any such sublimit.

Collateral Report:

In addition, the Obligor shall provide such other information (and summary reports in support thereof, if applicable) as the Bank may request from time to time.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any other Facility Document (as defined below) or any Collateral Report, the inclusion of eligibility criteria and advances rates in any Collateral Report shall not affect the uncommitted, demand nature of this facility.

Prepayments:
Mandatory Prepayments. If at any time the Accommodations shall exceed the Maximum Availability (either based on the most recent Collateral Report or as determined by the Bank it is sole discretion if the Obligor fails to deliver the same) then the Obligor shall, upon the demand of the Bank, repay Accommodations such that, after giving effect thereto, such excess above the Maximum Availability shall no longer exist.

Optional Prepayments. The Obligor may prepay any Advance at any time in whole or in part. Each such prepayment shall be made together with interest accrued thereon to and including the date of prepayment.

Breakage/
Administrative Costs:
If (i) any payment of principal of any Advance is made other than on the last day of an interest period for such Advance as a result of (x) any optional or mandatory prepayment, (y) the acceleration of the maturity of the Advances, or (z) for any other reason or (ii) the Obligor fails to make a principal or interest payment with respect to any Advance on the date such payment is due and payable (including, without limitation, pursuant to an optional prepayment), the Obligor shall pay to the Bank any amounts required to compensate the Bank for any additional losses, out-of-pocket costs, or expenses which it may reasonably incur as a result of such prepayment or nonpayment, including, without limitation, any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost, or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by the Bank to fund or maintain such Advance.

a)
Each Accommodation made available to the Obligor that is associated with a purchase of goods shall be based on a purchase and sale by the Obligor for its own account and not for or on behalf of any other entity.

b)
Any and all payments by the Obligor which may become due and payable to the Bank hereunder shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any nature whatsoever and free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for, any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts or duties imposed by any government or any political subdivision thereof. If any taxes are imposed and required by law to be paid or withheld from any amount payable to the Bank

hereunder, then the Obligor shall increase the amount of such payment so that the Bank will receive a net amount (after deduction for such taxes) equal to the amount due hereunder.

c)
If any payment to be so made hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

d)
All payments made in connection with an Advance shall be applied first to the payment of all fees, expenses and other amounts due to the Bank in connection with such Advance (excluding principal and interest), then to accrued interest, and the balance on account of outstanding principal; provided, however, that following any stated or any accelerated maturity of Advances hereunder, payments will be applied to the obligations of the Obligor to the Bank as the Bank determines in its sole discretion.

Interest:
Without undertaking to make any Advance and without agreeing to any particular rate of interest or fees, the Bank notes for the Obligor’s information that the following will apply until further notice by the Bank:

(a)
Advances shall bear interest at a rate to be agreed upon on a case-by-case basis, in the Bank’s sole discretion, with respect to each Advance, expressed as a percentage equal to (x) the BNPP Rate (as defined below) plus (y) the Applicable Margin (as defined below).

(b)
Interest shall be payable on the earlier of demand, or if no demand has been made, monthly in arrears, on the maturity date of the Advance and on the date of repayment of each Advance.

(c)

BNPP Rate” means, on any date of determination, the rate per annum determined by the Bank in its sole discretion to be its cost of making and/or maintaining such Accommodation, which rate may include, without limitation, such factors as the Bank shall deem appropriate from time to time, including, without limitation, market, regulatory and liquidity conditions; provided, that, such rate is not necessarily the cost of the Bank of funding or maintaining the specific Accommodation, and may exceed the Bank’s actual cost of borrowing in the interbank market or other markets

in which the Bank may obtain funds from time to time for amounts similar to the amount of the Accommodation and/or for periods similar to the interest period then applicable to such Accommodation.

Applicable Margin” means a margin to be advised from time to time by the Bank, but in any event shall not be less than ___%*.

In the event of any conflict between any of the terms of this Uncommitted Facility Letter and any of the terms of any of the Facility Documents or between any of the terms of the Facility Documents, the term which gives the Bank the greater rights, as determined by the Bank in its sole discretion, shall control.

No failure on the part of Bank to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power, or privilege under this Uncommitted Facility Letter or any of the other Facility Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof. The provisions of this Uncommitted Facility Letter, including any attachments and annexes hereto, and the other Facility Documents may be amended only by a written instrument signed by Bank. Any waiver of any of the provisions hereof or thereof shall be effective only in the specific instance granted and shall not operate as a continuing waiver of any such provision.

The powers, rights and remedies of the Bank specified in this Uncommitted Facility Letter or in the other Facility Documents are cumulative and in addition to any powers, rights and remedies that the Bank may have under any other agreement and under applicable law. No notice to or demand on the Obligor in any case shall, of itself, entitle it to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances

The Obligor authorizes the Bank to disclose information relating to the Obligor and its affiliates or the Accommodations to any of the Bank’s affiliates, any regulatory, tax, customs or judicial authority, rating agency, auditor, insurance or reinsurance broker, professional advisor, insurer, reinsurer, and as the case may be, in connection with any securitization or any other risks transfer or hedging transaction or any other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to this Uncommitted Facility Letter or the Obligor, including, without limitation, actual or potential participants and/or assignees, or where the Bank deems such disclosure to be necessary or advisable in the carrying out of its duties, obligations, commitments or activities, or for the purpose of its assets, liabilities and risk management policies or as may be required by law, regulation or judicial process.

The Obligor agrees to indemnify the Bank and its affiliates and each of the Bank’s and such affiliates’ respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (each, an “indemnified party”) against, and to hold the Bank and such other indemnified parties harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by or asserted against the Bank or any such indemnified parties in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not the Bank or any such other indemnified party is designated as a party thereto) relating to or arising out of or in any way connected with, or as a result of, this Uncommitted Facility Letter, any other Facility Document, or any agreement contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Accommodation or the use of the proceeds of any Accommodation by the Obligor, provided however that this indemnity shall not, as to any indemnified party apply to any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses, resulting directly from the gross negligence or the willful misconduct of such indemnified party.

This Uncommitted Facility Letter and the other Facility Documents shall be binding upon the parties hereto and each of their permitted successors and permitted assigns. The Obligor may not assign any rights or delegate any obligations hereunder or thereunder without the Bank’s prior written consent and any purported assignment or delegation by the Obligor without such consent shall be null and void. The Bank may, at any time, without the consent of, or prior notice to, the Obligor, assign to one or more financial institutions or other persons all or a portion of its interest in any Accommodations under this Uncommitted Facility Letter and the other Facility Documents. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prohibit or restrict any pledge or assignment by the Bank of any Accommodations or any promissory note evidencing the same as collateral to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law, provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release the Bank from any of its obligations hereunder (if any) or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for the Bank as a party hereto.

If any provision of this Uncommitted Facility Letter is invalid or unenforceable under the laws of any jurisdiction, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability, without invalidating or affecting the enforceability of the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Uncommitted Facility Letter; and (ii) such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Attn.: Deborah Whittle

Re:    Borrowing Request

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We refer to the Amended and Restated Uncommitted Line Letter, dated as of [_______], 2015, among Amark Precious Metals Inc. and BNP Paribas (as the same may be amended, modified, extended or renewed from time to time, the “Uncommitted Line Letter”). We request an Advance under the Uncommitted Line Letter as follows:

Obligor: [_______________]
1.    Amount of the Advance: U.S.$ __________.
2.    The requested disbursement date is: _________, 201[__].
3.    The requested maturity date is: _________, 201[__].

On the disbursement date, we kindly ask you to credit the principal amount of the Advance to the account #_________ of ___________ at __________, attn.: __________.

We hereby confirm that all of the representations and warranties contained in the Uncommitted Facility Letter and the other Facility Documents are true and correct on and as of the date hereof, and will be true and correct on the date of the Advance requested hereby before and after giving effect thereto as if made on each such date, and that prior to and after the making of such Advance, no Event of Default or event that with the giving of notice or passage of time could constitute an Event of Default has occurred or will have occurred and be continuing on such date. We further certify and represent and warrant that after giving effect to such Advance, (a) the aggregate amount of Accommodations will not exceed the Maximum Availability, and (b) the principal and face amount of all Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) to all Secured Parties shall be less than the current Collateral Value (including, without limitation, after giving effect to any changes in the Collateral Value and Obligations subsequent to the date of the most recent Collateral Report delivered to the Bank) and, consequently, shall not result in a Collateral Value Over-Advance (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) or constitute Excess Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement). In support of the foregoing, we represent and warrant that the following is true and correct as of the requested disbursement date:

Collateral Value: U.S.$ ___________________
