• an Asset Trust Agreement, which creates a trust over the shares held by the Company in MKK, as well as the Ollachea concessions owned by MKK (hereinafter together referred to as the "securities and mortgages"), to guarantee the payment obligations of the Company to COFIDE by transferring ownership of the securities and mortgages to La Fiduciaria in trust;
• a Refinancing of the Credit Agreement, which establishes the terms and conditions for the payment of the principal and accrued and accruing interest on the Company's debt with COFIDE; and
