over, [   ] Goldcorp Shares (the “Holder Shares”), [   ] Goldcorp Options (the
“Holder Options”), and [   ] Goldcorp RSUs (the “Holder RSUs”). The Holder
Shares, the Holder Options, and the Holder RSUs, together with any other
securities of the Company directly or indirectly acquired by or issued to me
during the term of this Agreement, are collectively referred to herein as the
“Holder Securities”.

establishing quorum and to vote or to cause to be voted (and not withdraw any
proxies or change its vote in respect thereof) the Holder Shares and any other

favour of the approval, consent, ratification and adoption of the Arrangement
Resolution and any other matter necessary for the consummation of the
Arrangement, and (b) against any resolution, any action, proposal, transaction
or agreement proposed by any other Person, that could reasonably be expected to
adversely affect or reduce the likelihood of the successful completion of the
Arrangement or delay or interfere with, the completion of the Arrangement;
