request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified
party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in
such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such

retention of such counsel or (ii)&nbsp;the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded
parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both

expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the
same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition
to any local counsel) for all indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be

proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by Barrick on the one hand
and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Securities or (ii)&nbsp;if the
allocation provided by clause 8(d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion
as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 8(d)(i) above but
also the relative fault of Barrick on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand in
connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits
received by Barrick on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the
offering of the Securities shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net
proceeds from the offering of the Securities (before deducting expenses) received by Barrick and
the total underwriting commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the
table on the cover of the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, bear to the
aggregate public offering price of the Securities as set forth on such cover page. The relative
fault of Barrick on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by
Barrick or by the Underwriters and the parties&#146; relative intent, knowledge, access to information
and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriters&#146; respective

treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take
account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section&nbsp;8(d). The amount paid or payable by
an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the
immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth
above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with
investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section&nbsp;8, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by
which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were
offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been
required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of
the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section&nbsp;8 are not exclusive and
shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at
