(c) Status of Parties. The other party is not acting as a fiduciary or an advisor for it in respect of this Transaction

Eligible Contract Participant: Counterparty represents and warrants that is an "eligible contract participant" within the meaning of Section 1(a)(18) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, and applicable regulations thereunder.

BNP Paribas Confirmation of Lender Status: BNP Paribas represents and warrants that it is on the date of this Confirmation, a "Lender" under the IAMGOLD Amended and restated Credit Agreement dated as of December 14, 2017, as amended ("Credit Agreement").

Prepaid Metals Transaction: Counterparty represents and warrants that the total number of Ounces deliverable under this Transaction as per Appendix 1 together with the Other Deliverable Ounces does not exceed and at no point up to the last Bullion Transaction Settlement Date shall it exceed, 225,000 Ounces, being the maximum number of Ounces as per Section 1.1(97) of the Credit Agreement that are deliverable under Prepaid Metals Transactions that are "Other Secured Obligations" or as per Section 1.1(104) of the Credit Agreement, secured by "Permitted Liens".

For these purposes: "Other Deliverable Ounces" means the number of Ounces deliverable under all Prepaid Metals Transactions except for this Transaction which are, at any time at or following the Trade Date, either "Other Secured Obligations" or secured by "Permitted Liens"

5. Variation of Termination Rights

This Transaction is designated as a "Prepaid Metals Transaction" for the purposes of Part 1(g) of the Schedule to the Agreement and as a Prepaid Metals Transaction that is an "Other Secured Obligation" for the purposes of the Credit Agreement.

If (1) either (X) all amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement have been repaid or refinanced or the Credit Agreement has expired or been terminated or cancelled or (Y) at any time that BNP Paribas continues to be a "Lender" as defined under the Credit Agreement, this Transaction (or portion hereof) ceases to be an "Other Secured Obligation" under the Credit Agreement that is guaranteed by the Material Subsidiaries and secured and ranking pari passu (as to security on enforcement and as to current payment) with other Obligations under the Credit Agreement; and (2) Counterparty fails to provide alternative, satisfactory security to BNP Paribas in the form of a credit support annex with cash collateral, executed within 5 Business Days of the first to occur of the events listed under (X) and (Y) above, to secure the obligations of Counterparty in respect of this Transaction, then an Additional Termination Event shall occur in respect of which this Transaction (or the relevant portion hereof) is the sole Affected Transaction and Counterparty is the Affected Party. This right of Party B to cure the events listed in (X) and (Y) above by executing a credit support annex within 5 Business Days shall not limit or interfere with any other termination rights BNP Paribas may have at any time under this Agreement.

The parties agree that, for the purposes of this Transaction only, the following amendments to the Master Agreement shall be applicable:

(i) Part 4(f) of the Schedule to the Master Agreement is hereby amended by adding at the end of the final sentence thereof the following: "provided, however, that for so long as the Credit Agreement is outstanding, there shall be no Credit Support Documents in respect of Party B."; and

(ii) Part 4(g) of the Schedule to the Master Agreement is hereby amended by adding at the end of the final sentence thereof the following: "provided, however, that for so long as the Credit Agreement is outstanding, there shall be no Credit Support Providers in respect of Party B."

Accordingly, to the extent BNP Paribas designates an Early Termination Date

(1) under Section 5(a)(iii) (Credit Support Default) of the Master Agreement at a time that the Credit Agreement is outstanding or

(2) in respect of any Event of Default or Termination Event that occurs in respect of a Credit Support Provider of Party B (including any action, default, event or state of affairs by or in respect of a Credit Support Provider of Party B) at a time that the Credit Agreement is outstanding, such designation of an Early Termination Date shall not apply in respect of this Transaction, and notwithstanding the exercise by BNP Paribas of its termination rights under Section 6 of the Master Agreement, this Transaction shall not be accounted for in determining the related Close-out Amount payable in respect of such termination, and this Transaction shall continue to remain outstanding and in force under the Agreement following such termination, provided, however, that nothing included herein shall limit BNP Paribas' right to declare an Early Termination Date in respect of all Transactions under the Master Agreement following any other event under Section 5(a) which is not referred to above, where BNP Paribas is the Non-defaulting Party.
