7.875% Senior Notes due 2021

During the third quarter of 2016, the Company entered into two privately-negotiated agreements to exchange $10.8 million in aggregate principal amount of its Senior Notes for 0.7 million shares of common stock. Based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of the exchange, the exchange resulted in a loss of $1.2 million which is recognized in Other, net in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

At any time prior to February 1, 2017, the Company may redeem all or part of the Senior Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice at a redemption price equal to the sum of 100% of the principal amount thereof, a make-whole premium as of the date of redemption, and accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, thereon, to the date of redemption. In addition, the Company may redeem some or all of the Senior Notes on or after February 1, 2017, at redemption prices set forth in the Indenture for the Senior Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest.

Term Loan due 2020

On July 15, 2016, the Company voluntarily terminated and repaid the Term Loan for $103.4 million including the $99.0 million remaining principal balance and a $4.4 million prepayment premium. The termination of the Term Loan resulted in a loss of $8.8 million which is recognized in Other, net in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

On June 23, 2015, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement for the Term Loan with Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”). The Term Loan Credit Agreement provided for a five year $100.0 million term loan to the Company, of which a portion of the proceeds were used to repay the Short-term Loan, and the remaining proceeds were used for general corporate purposes. The obligations under the Term Loan were secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries, including the land, mineral rights and infrastructure at the Kensington, Rochester and Wharf mines, as well as a pledge of the shares of certain of the Company's subsidiaries.

Lines of Credit

San Bartolomé has two available lines of credit for an aggregate amount of $27.0 million, both of which were undrawn at September 30, 2016.

Short-term Loan

On March 31, 2015, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Short-term Credit Agreement”) with The Bank of Nova Scotia. The Short-term Credit Agreement provided for a $50.0 million loan (the “Short-term Loan”) to the Company. On June 25, 2015, the Short-term Loan was repaid in full, the security for the Short-term Loan was released, and the Short-term Credit Agreement was terminated.

Capital Lease Obligations

From time to time, the Company acquires mining equipment under capital lease agreements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company entered into new lease financing arrangements primarily for a larger haul truck fleet at its Rochester mine and mining equipment to support the continued underground mine expansion at the Palmarejo complex. All capital lease obligations are recorded, upon lease inception, at the present value of future minimum lease payments.

Palmarejo Gold Production Royalty Obligation

On January 21, 2009, Coeur Mexicana entered into a gold production royalty transaction with a subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation under which the subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation purchased a royalty covering 50% of the life of mine gold to be produced from the Palmarejo silver and gold mine in Mexico. On October 2, 2014, Coeur Mexicana terminated the Palmarejo gold production royalty in exchange for a termination payment of $2.0 million, effective upon completion of the minimum ounce delivery requirement. Subsequently, Coeur Mexicana entered into a gold stream agreement (the “Gold Stream Agreement”) with a subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation whereby Coeur Mexicana will sell 50% of Palmarejo gold production (excluding production from the recently acquired Paramount properties) effective upon completion of the gold production royalty minimum ounce delivery requirement.

In July 2016, the remaining minimum obligation under the Palmarejo royalty agreement was satisfied and the termination of the Palmarejo royalty agreement became effective. The royalty agreement provided for a minimum obligation to be paid monthly on a total of 400,000 ounces of gold, or 4,167 ounces per month over an initial eight year period. Each monthly payment was an amount equal to the greater of 4,167 ounces of gold or 50% of actual gold production multiplied by the excess of the monthly average market price of gold above $416 per ounce, subject to a 1% annual inflation compounding adjustment. Payments under the royalty agreement were made in cash or gold bullion. During the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company paid $7.6 million and $10.2 million, respectively and the Company paid $27.2 million and $30.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company recognized accretion expense for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 of $0.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively, and $1.2 million and $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Following the completion of the minimum ounce obligation and the effective termination of the Palmarejo royalty agreement in July 2016, Coeur Mexicana began selling 50% of the Palmarejo gold production (excluding production from the recently acquired Paramount properties) for the lesser of $800 or spot price per ounce under the Gold Stream Agreement.
