No event has occurred respecting any Benefit Plan which would entitle any Person (without the consent of MDO) to wind-up or terminate any Benefit Plan, in whole or in part, or which could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the tax status thereof (if applicable) or require any penalty Taxes to be paid under any applicable Laws. Where a dedicated fund is required to be maintained for any Benefit Plan by Law, there are no going concern unfunded actuarial liabilities, past service unfunded liabilities or solvency deficiencies respecting any such Benefit Plan. The consummation of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement shall not constitute an event under any Benefit Plan that shall or may result; (i) in any acceleration of, or vesting of, or increase in benefits with respect to any Employee or former Employee; or (ii) in any acceleration of or increase in the funding requirements of any Benefit Plan.

ARTICLE 9
INDEMNIFICATION

9.1 Indemnification by Kinross

Kinross agrees to indemnify and save harmless Goldcorp and its respective directors, officers and employees, from all Losses suffered or incurred by any such Persons as a result of or arising directly or indirectly out of or in connection with:

(a) |  | any breach by Kinross or any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Kinross contained in this Agreement or in any agreement, instrument, certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto (provided that Kinross shall not be required to indemnify or save harmless Goldcorp in respect of any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty unless Goldcorp shall have provided notice to Kinross in accordance with Section 9.3);

(b) |  | any breach or non-performance by Kinross of any covenant to be performed by Kinross which is contained in this Agreement or in any agreement, instrument, certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto (provided that Kinross shall not be required to indemnify or save harmless Goldcorp pursuant hereto unless Goldcorp shall have provided notice to Kinross in accordance with Section 9.3; and

(c) |  | the Goldcorp Liabilities, which for greater certainty shall not include any amounts paid or payable by Goldcorp under Section 9.2 of this Agreement.

9.2 Indemnification by Goldcorp

Goldcorp agrees to indemnify and save harmless each of Kinross and MDO and their respective directors, officers and employees from all Losses suffered or incurred by any such persons as a result of or arising directly or indirectly out of or in connection with:

(a) |  | any breach by Goldcorp or any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Goldcorp contained in this Agreement (with the exception of the representation and warranty set forth in Section 4.9(a)) or in any agreement, instrument, certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto (provided that Goldcorp shall not be required to indemnify or save harmless Kinross in respect of any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty unless Kinross shall have provided notice to Goldcorp in accordance with Section 9.3);

(b) |  | any breach or non-performance by Goldcorp of any covenant to be performed by Goldcorp which is contained in this Agreement or in any agreement, instrument, certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto (provided that Goldcorp shall not be required to indemnify or save harmless Kinross pursuant hereto unless Kinross shall have provided notice to Goldcorp in accordance with Section 9.3);

-40-

(c) |  | the Kinross Liabilities, which for greater certainty shall not include any amounts paid or payable by Kinross under Section 9.1 of this Agreement;

(d) |  | the Kinross Contingent Liabilities; and

(e) |  | any Loss arising out of Goldcorp Cayman’s activities, status or liabilities existing prior to or as at the Closing Date.

9.3 Notice of Claim

In the event that a Person indemnified under either of Sections 9.1 or 9.2 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall become aware of any Claim in respect of which any other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) agreed to indemnify the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party. Such notice shall specify whether the Claim arises as a result of a claim by a Person (a “Third Party”) against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”) or whether the Claim does not so arise (a “Direct Claim”), and shall also specify with reasonable particularity (to the extent that the information is available) the factual basis for the Claim and the amount of the Claim, if known. If, through the fault of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party does not receive notice of any Claim in time to contest effectively the determination of any liability susceptible of being contested, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to set off against the amount claimed by the Indemnified Party the amount of any Losses incurred by the Indemnifying Party resulting from the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such notice on a timely basis.

9.4 Direct Claims

With respect to any Direct Claim, following receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have sixty (60) days to make such investigation of the Claim as is considered necessary or desirable. For the purpose of such investigation, the Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party the information relied upon by the Indemnified Party to substantiate the Claim, together with all such other information as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. If the Parties agree at or prior to the expiration of such 60-day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof) to the validity of Losses relating to such Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall immediately pay to the Indemnified Party the full agreed upon amount of the Losses relating to the Claim, failing which the matter shall be submitted to arbitration pursuant to Article 11.

9.5 Interest on Loss

For the purposes of Sections 9.1 and 9.2, the Losses suffered or incurred by a Party relating to a Direct Claim will include interest on the amount of the Loss calculated at the prime lending rate of the Royal Bank of Canada from time to time plus 5% (500 basis points), compounded monthly in arrears, from the time the particular Loss is suffered or incurred by such Party to the time that the other Party pays in full any required indemnity payment in respect of such Direct Claim pursuant to this Article 9 (including payment of compound interest pursuant to this Section 9.5).

-41-

9.6 Third Party Claims

With respect to any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its expense, to participate in or assume control of the negotiation, settlement or defence of the Claim and, in such event, the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all the Indemnified Party’s out-of-pocket expenses as a result of such participation or assumption. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume such control, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the negotiation, settlement or defence of such Third Party Claim and to retain counsel to act on its behalf, provided that the fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party unless the Indemnifying Party consents to the retention of such counsel or unless the named parties to any action or proceeding include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and the representation of both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to the actual or potential differing interests between them (such as the availability of different defences). If the Indemnifying Party, having elected to assume such control, thereafter fails to defend the Third Party Claim within a reasonable time, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume such control, and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by the results obtained by the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim. If any Third Party Claim is of a nature such that the Indemnified Party is required by applicable Legal Requirements to make a payment to any Third Party with respect to the Third Party Claim before the completion of settlement negotiations or related legal proceedings, as the case may be, the Indemnified Party may make such payment, up to $25,000 without the Indemnifying Party’s consent and over $25,000 with the Indemnifying Party’s consent and the Indemnifying Party shall, forthwith after demand by the Indemnified Party, reimburse the Indemnified Party for such payment, provided that:

(a) |  | any such payment shall be made on the basis that it is without prejudice to either the Indemnified Party’s or the Indemnifying Party’s position vis-à-vis the Third Party Claim; and

(b) |  | the Indemnified Party first gives a written notice to the Indemnifying Party setting out the nature of the Claim in sufficient detail to enable the Indemnifying Party to reasonably satisfy itself that it would be responsible for the Claim pursuant to the provisions hereof.

If the amount of any Loss of the Indemnified Party under the Third Party Claim in respect of which such payment was made, as finally determined, is less than the amount which was paid by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall, forthwith after receipt of the difference from the Third Party, pay the amount of such difference to the Indemnifying Party. If any payment pursuant to Section 9.7, resulting in settlement of the Third Party Claim, precludes a final determination of the merits of the Third Party Claim and the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are unable to agree whether such payment was required to be made, such dispute shall be submitted to arbitration pursuant to Article 11.

9.7 Settlement of Third Party Claims

If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume control of the defence of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the exclusive right to contest, settle or pay the amount claimed.

-42-

Whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the negotiation, settlement or defence of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that the liability of the Indemnifying Party shall be limited to the proposed settlement amount if the consent of the Indemnified Party to the proposed settlement is unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

9.8 Cooperation

The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate fully with each other with respect to Third Party Claims, and shall keep each other fully advised with respect thereto (including supplying copies of all relevant documentation promptly as it becomes available).

9.9 Exclusivity

The provisions of this Article 9 shall apply to any Claim for breach of any covenant, representation, warranty or other provision of this Agreement or any agreement, certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto (other than a Claim for specific performance or injunctive relief) with the intent that all such Claims shall be subject to the limitations and other provisions contained in this Article 9.

9.10 Mitigation

Nothing contained in this Article 9 shall eliminate or reduce an Indemnified Party’s obligations to mitigate its Loss.

9.11 Threshold

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 9, no claim for indemnity by a Party shall arise until the aggregate of all Losses of that Party exceeds $1,000,000 (the “Threshold”), other than the indemnities provided pursuant to Sections 9.1(c), 9.2(c), 9.2(d) or 9.2(e) or in respect of claims arising from an alleged breach of Section 2.7(c) or Section 2.9(c) or a breach of any of the representations and warranties relating to Goldcorp Cayman set forth in Article 4. Once the aggregate of all Losses of that Party exceeds the Threshold, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 9 for all Losses on a dollar for dollar basis exceeding the Threshold.

ARTICLE 10

10.1 Date and Place of Closing

The Closing will occur on the fifth Business Day following the satisfaction and/or waiver of all conditions to Closing set forth in Article 6 and Article 7 (other than, in each case, conditions to be satisfied on the Closing Date) or on such other date as may be agreed in writing by the Parties (the “Closing Date”) provided that Closing shall not be later than December 31, 2007.

10.2 Termination

If a Party (the “Defaulting Party”) breaches in a material respect any of its covenants or representations or warranties or indemnities in this Agreement and such breach is not cured by the Defaulting Party within fifteen (15) days of receiving written notice thereof from any other Party (the “Non-Defaulting Party”) if such breach is capable of being cured, or, if such breach is not capable of being cured then upon such breach, the Non-Defaulting Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, other than the obligations of the Parties pursuant to Article 9 and Article 11 in which case this Agreement, other than such obligations pursuant to Article 9 and Article 11, shall be terminated. If the Closing does not take place on or before December 31, 2007, either Party may by notice in writing to the other terminate this Agreement. Any terminations will not affect any of the other rights or remedies of the Parties under this Agreement, including rights or remedies in respect of such breach.

ARTICLE 11

The place of arbitration will be Toronto, Ontario. The language of the arbitration will be English.
