RECITALS:

THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein (the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged), the Parties agree as follows:

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this First Amendment have the meanings given to them in the Arrangement Agreement.

Section 5.6(a)(iv) of the Arrangement Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“each Goldcorp Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain outstanding on its existing terms (except as otherwise provided herein or in the Plan of Arrangement), and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any applicable option grant agreement, employment agreement or other document governing, or any resolution or determination of the Goldcorp Board (or any committee thereof) in respect of, the Goldcorp Option Plan or any Goldcorp Options, and pursuant to Section 3.1(2) of the Goldcorp Option Plan, upon the exercise of each Goldcorp Option the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive, and shall accept, in lieu of the number of Goldcorp Shares which such holder was entitled upon such exercise, a fraction of a Newmont Share equal to the Equity Award Exchange Ratio for each Goldcorp Share underlying such Goldcorp Option.

assurances, instruments or documents as may reasonably be required by any of them in order further to document or evidence any of the transactions or events set out in this Plan of Arrangement.

Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, Goldcorp and Newmont each agree that the Plan of Arrangement will be carried out with the intention that, and they will use their commercially reasonable best efforts to ensure that, all (i) Consideration Shares issued under the Arrangement will be issued by Newmont in exchange for Goldcorp Shares and (ii) Replacement RSUs to be issued to holders of Goldcorp RSUs in exchange for Goldcorp RSUs outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, whether in the United States, Canada or any other country, are issued in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act, as amended, as provided by Section 3(a)(10) thereof and applicable state securities laws, and pursuant to the terms, conditions and procedures set forth in the Arrangement Agreement. To the extent necessary, Newmont shall, on or as promptly as practicable following the Effective Date, file one or more registration statements on Form S-8 with the SEC to register the issuance of Newmont Shares upon exercises of (i) the Replacement RSUs and (ii) the Goldcorp Options outstanding at the Effective Time (whether vested or unvested). Newmont shall use its commercially reasonable efforts ensure that the Consideration Shares shall, at the Effective Time, either be registered or qualified under all applicable U.S. state securities laws, or exempt from such registration and qualification requirements. Holders of Goldcorp RSUs entitled to receive Replacement RSUs will be advised that the Replacement RSUs issued pursuant to the Arrangement have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act and will be issued by Newmont in reliance on the exemption from registration under the U.S. Securities Act pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) thereof, but that such exemption does not exempt the issuance of securities upon the exercises of such securities; therefore, the underlying Newmont Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Replacement RSUs, if any, cannot be issued in the U.S. or to a person in the U.S. in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(10) and the Replacement RSUs may only be exercised pursuant to an effective registration statement or a then available exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, if any.  Holders of Goldcorp Options will be advised that Newmont Shares cannot be issued in the U.S. or to a person in the U.S. upon the exercises of the Goldcorp Options unless such shares are issued pursuant to an effective registration statement or a then available exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, if any.  Newmont has agreed to apply for and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain approval of the listing for trading on the NYSE by the Effective Time of the Consideration Shares and the Newmont Shares issuable pursuant to the Arrangement upon exercise of (i) the Replacement RSUs and (ii) the Goldcorp Options, subject to official notice of issuance.
