Subject to applicable law and to Section 6.06 of this Plan of Arrangement, at the time of such compliance, there shall, in addition to the delivery of certificate or DRS Advice representing New Parent Shares and Spinco Consideration Shares, as applicable to which such holder is thereby entitled, be delivered to such holder, without interest, the amount of the dividend or other distribution with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such New Parent Shares or Spinco Consideration Shares, as applicable.

Section 6.06 Withholding Rights

New Parent, GMIN, Reunion Gold, Spinco and the Depositary shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from all dividends, distributions, other payments or other consideration payable to any Person pursuant to the Arrangement or this Agreement (including, without limitation, any payments to Reunion Gold Shareholders or GMIN Shareholders exercising Dissent Rights) such amounts as New Parent, GMIN, Reunion Gold, Spinco or the Depositary is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment under the Tax Act, the Code or any provision of any applicable federal, provincial, state, local or foreign Tax law, in each case, as amended. To the extent that such amounts are so deducted, withheld and remitted, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Plan of Arrangement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid, provided that such deducted or withheld amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate taxation authority. If any withholding Tax is assessed against and paid by New Parent, GMIN, Reunion Gold, Spinco or the Depositary, then the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding should have been made shall indemnify and hold harmless such withholding agent from and against such Tax, but only to the extent such Person actually received the amount that should have been deducted or withheld. To the extent the amount required to be deducted or withheld from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable to any Person hereunder exceeds the amount of cash consideration, if any, otherwise payable to the Person, any of New Parent, GMIN, Reunion Gold, Spinco or the Depositary is hereby authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of any non-cash consideration payable to the Person as is necessary to provide sufficient funds to New Parent, GMIN, Reunion Gold, Spinco or the Depositary, as the case may be, to enable it to comply with all deduction or withholding requirements applicable to it, and New Parent, GMIN, Reunion Gold, Spinco and the Depositary shall notify such Person and remit to such Person any unapplied balance of the net proceeds of such sale. If any withholding Tax is assessed against and paid by New Parent, GMIN, Reunion Gold, Spinco or the Depositary, then the Former Reunion Gold Shareholders or Former GMIN Shareholders, as applicable, in respect of which such deduction or withholding should have been made shall indemnify and hold harmless such withholding agent from and against such Tax, but only to the extent such Former Reunion Gold Shareholders or Former GMIN Shareholders, as applicable, actually received the amount that should have been deducted or withheld.

Section 6.07 U.S. Securities Laws Matters

Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, this Plan of Arrangement shall be carried out with the intention that all (i) Spinco Consideration Shares, Reunion Gold Class B Shares and New Parent Shares issued to the Reunion Gold Shareholders in exchange for their Reunion Gold Shares, (ii) New Parent Shares issued to GMIN Shareholders in exchange for their GMIN Shares, (iii) Replacement Reunion Gold Options, Replacement Options and Replacement Spinco Options issued to the Reunion Gold Optionholders in exchange for their Reunion Gold Options, and (iv) Replacement Options issued to GMIN Optionholders in exchange for their GMIN Options, pursuant to the Arrangement shall be issued and exchanged in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act 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.

Section 6.08 Extinction of Rights

To the extent that a Former Reunion Gold Shareholder or Former GMIN Shareholder shall not have complied with the provisions of Section 6.01 or Section 6.04 of this Plan of Arrangement on or before the date that is six years after the Effective Date, then the certificate or DRS Advice which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Reunion Gold Shares held by such Former Reunion Gold Shareholder or outstanding GMIN Shares held by such Former GMIN Shareholder shall cease to represent a claim or interest of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether as a securityholder

or otherwise and whether against New Parent, GMIN, Reunion Gold, Spinco, the Depositary or any other Person. On such date, the Consideration to which such Former Reunion Gold Shareholder or Former GMIN Shareholder, as applicable, would otherwise have been entitled to receive, together with any distributions or dividends such holder would otherwise have been entitled to receive shall be deemed to have been surrendered for no consideration to New Parent. No Party shall be liable to any Person in respect of any cash or securities which is forfeited to New Parent or delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property or similar Law.
