Re: Sierra Gorda Preliminary Parts Management Plan


Quotation # 9304/9305-21298041rev.1

CONFIDENTIAL PROPOSAL FOR SIERRA GORDA MINE PERSONNEL ONLY

Hello,

We have compiled a preliminary Parts Management Plan for your proposed unit at the Sierra Gorda Mine. Our Parts
Management Plan is based off the quotations from Kevin Henderson, quotation numbers 211192041 and 211191041.
This quotation is subject to change at time of final order.

This list is arranged in three categories: Scheduled Service Kits, Rotables and Critical Spares. Scheduled service kits are
based on operational hours and are intended to include all components required to be replaced as outlined in your
Preventative Maintenance Schedule. The scheduled replacement of these components will allow easier planning of
maintenance and minimize disruption in production due to unplanned down time. Rotables include regularly replaced
items that are not necessarily replaced at a given interval, but are recommended to be kept in stock at the mine. Finally,
Critical Spares are components that, if damaged or compromised, would impact the availability of the equipment due to
either the criticality of the component or the extensive lead time involved in purchasing a replacement.

We want to assure you that we stand committed to providing you with the highest standards of service in the mining
industry. We look forward assisting you with any needs that may arise with your TowHaul unit and want to be sure that
your unit is in service for many years to come. Thank you for the opportunity to provide this proposal, please don’t
hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have.

Best regards,
TowHaul Corporation

Operator Training: TowHaul will provide operator training to operate the TowHaul products that are being
added to the Mine’s equipment. TowHaul shall in no way be responsible for standard
operator training regarding the mine’s haul trucks or other equipment. Operator training
on the mine’s equipment shall be the complete and sole responsibility of the mine.

Performance: The prime mover the mine has selected for this application is provided by the mine or
Dealer. TowHaul has provided a general Truck Performance Document that shows a
performance of ascending and descending grade, calculated by utilizing general
information available at the time, regarding the model of the prime mover to be used.
TowHaul is providing this information to the mine for planning purposes and for
incorporation into the mine’s equipment operations policies. It is the responsibility of
the mine to assess the grades and conditions of the mine haul roads, and operate
the TowHaul unit according to the mine’s internal policies. Realizing that operating
conditions change on every mine site, operation of the TowHaul Unit is therefore the
complete responsibility of the mine, and TowHaul shall not be responsible for the
operating conditions of this equipment at the mine site.

For TowHaul Lowboys, TowHaul does not recommend a speed greater than 22 mph
(35 kph) when empty. General performance is calculated utilizing the truck specs
from the manufacturer, at a speed of 5 mph (8 kph) at the top of first gear when fully
loaded. As a baseline, performance addresses the power of the prime mover, per
manufacturer spec, and the retarding capabilities of the prime mover only. It does not

include assessment of braking, stability, traction or operator techniques/skills/methods. In


the event the mine is utilizing this unit on grades greater than listed in the general
performance analysis, the mine is encouraged to perform its own tests to determine its
use beyond the general performance provided.

Limitation Of Liability: Seller expressly disclaims any and all warranties, express and implied, including, but not
limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose,
except for the warranty set forth in this section. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, seller shall not, under any circumstances, be liable to buyer for
consequential, incidental, special or indirect damages arising out of or related to this
agreement or the transaction(s) contemplated hereunder, even if seller has been apprised
of the likelihood of such damages. In no event shall seller’s liability to buyer for breach of
this agreement exceed the aggregate price of the product or services purchased by buyer
hereunder.

Compliance of the prime mover with regard to all safety regulations, including but not
limited to ROPS & FOPS is the express responsibility of the mine.

The unit covered by this quotation is modified from standard and/or custom designed and
manufactured to suit the needs of the customer. The performance specifications,
dimensions, load ratings, and pricing are based upon information and engineering
assessments, available at the time of quotation and order acceptance. TowHaul shall not
be bound by new information revealed through production engineering and costing
reviews undertaken prior to manufacture or by new information revealed at the time of
installation, assembly and operation of the unit into service.

The design used in this proposal includes proprietary information that is covered by a
current patent(s) or patent application.

Steel Surcharge:
This temporary disclaimer is being added due to the direct and significant impact of the
changing steel prices, and availability of steel. It is for the purpose of addressing the steel
issue with only those orders that are affected.

TowHaul expressly reserve the right to add a steel surcharge for those components of the
order that are greatly affected by fluctuating steel prices. The surcharge will be
determined during negotiations prior to the time of order, and may be quoted separately,
as per current market prices at that time. TowHaul shall not be held accountable for
availability of steel, but will do its best to insure at the time of order acceptance.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide this proposal. Please contact me on any points of question or concerns you may have.

Best regards,
TowHaul Corporation
