PART II


INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT


Item 3.  Incorporation of Documents by Reference.


The following documents filed or furnished by Goldcorp Inc. (the “Registrant”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) are hereby incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement:


  

(a)

the Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 40-F (File No. 001-12970) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 filed with the Commission on March 31, 2005;

 

  

(b)

(c)

the description of the Registrant’s Common Shares contained in the Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form F-10 (File No. 333-123876) filed with the Commission on April 6, 2005, including any amendment or report for the purpose of updating such description.  The Registrant’s Common Shares were initially described in the Registrant’s Joint Management Information Circular filed as Exhibit 99 to the Registrant’s Form 6-K filed with the Commission on October 2, 2000.


 

All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.  Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for the purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement.  Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a par t of this Registration Statement.


Item 4.  Description of Securities.


Not applicable.


Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.


None.


Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.


Under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), the Registrant may indemnify a present or former director or officer or person who acts or acted at the Registrant’s request as a director or officer of another corporation of which the Registrant is or was a shareholder or creditor, and his heirs and legal representatives, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by him in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which he is made a party by reason of his being or having been a director or officer of the Registrant or body corporate and provided that the director or officer acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interest of the Registrant and, in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, had reasonable grounds for believing that his conduct was lawful.  Such indemnification may be made in connection with a derivative action only with court approval.  A director is entitled to indemnification from the Registrant as a matter of right if he was substantially successful on the merits in his defense and fulfilled the conditions set forth above.


In accordance with the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), the by-laws of the Registrant indemnify a director or officer, a former director or officer, or a person who acts or acted at a Registrant’s request as a director or officer of a corporation in which the Registrant is or was a shareholder or creditor against any and all losses and expenses reasonably incurred by him in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative action or proceeding to which he was made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the Registrant or other corporation if he acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Registrant, or, in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by monetary penalty, he had reasonable grounds in believing that his conduct was lawful.


A policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance is maintained by the Registrant which insures directors and officers for losses as a result of claims against the directors and officers of the Registrant in their capacity as directors and officers and also reimburses the Registrant for payments made pursuant to the indemnity provisions under the by-laws and the Business Corporations Act (Ontario).


Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy in the United States as expressed in the Securities Act, and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 9.  Undertakings.


(a)

The Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:


(i)

To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;


(ii)

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement; and


(iii)

To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;


provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement;


(2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

 

(3)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.


(b)

The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.


(c)

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the indemnification provisions described under Item 6 or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate ju risdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Section 2.01

Purpose of the Restricted Share Plan: The Plan provides for the acquisition of Shares by Participants for the purpose of advancing the interests of the Corporation through the motivation, attraction and retention of employees, directors and consultants of the Corporation and the Designated Affiliates of the Corporation and to secure for the Corporation and the shareholders of the Corporation the benefits inherent in the ownership of Shares by key employees, consultants and directors of the Corporation and Designated Affiliates of the Corporation, it being generally recognized that restricted share plans aid in attracting, retaining and encouraging employees, consultants and directors due to the opportunity offered to them to acquire a proprietary interest in the Corporation.


Section 2.02

Administration of the Restricted Share Plan: The Plan shall be administered by the Committee and the Committee shall have full authority to administer the Plan including the authority to interpret and construe any provision of the Plan and to adopt, amend and rescind such rules and regulations for administering the Plan as the Committee may deem necessary in order to comply with the requirements of the Plan.  All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee in good faith shall be final and conclusive and shall be binding on the Participants and the Corporation.  No member of the Committee shall be personally liable for any action taken or determination or interpretation made in good faith in connection with the Plan and all members of the Committee shall, in addition to their rights as Directors, be fully protected, indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation with respect to any su ch action taken or determination or interpretation made.  The appropriate officers of the Corporation are hereby authorized and empowered to do all things and execute and deliver all instruments, undertakings and applications and writings as they, in their absolute discretion, consider necessary for the implementation of the Plan and of the rules and regulations established for administering the Plan.  All costs incurred in connection with the Plan shall be for the account of the Corporation.


Section 2.03

Delegation to Committee: All of the powers exercisable hereunder by the Directors may, to the extent permitted by applicable law and as determined by resolution of the Directors, be exercised by a committee of the Directors comprised of not less than three (3) Directors, including any compensation committee of the board of directors of the Corporation.


Section 2.04

Record Keeping: The Corporation shall maintain a register in which shall be recorded:

(c)

the number of Restricted Shares issued to each Participant under the Plan.


Section 2.05

Determination of Participants and Participation: The Committee shall from time to time determine the Participants who may participate in the Plan.  The Committee shall from time to time determine the Participants to whom Restricted Share Rights shall be granted and the provisions and restrictions with respect to such grant(s), all such determinations to be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan, and the Committee may take into consideration the present and potential contributions of and the services rendered by the particular Participant to the success of the Corporation and any other factors which the Committee deems appropriate and relevant.


Section 2.06

Maximum Number of Shares: The aggregate maximum number of Shares available for issuance from treasury under this Plan is 500,000 which shall be allocated as follows:


(a)

The aggregate maximum number of Shares available for issuance from treasury under this Plan shall be determined from time to time by the Committee, but in any case, shall not exceed 500,000 Shares.


(b)

The maximum number of Shares issuable to Insiders, at any time, pursuant to this Plan and any other security based compensation arrangements of the Corporation is 10% of the total number of Shares then outstanding.  The maximum number of Shares issuable to Insiders, within any one year period, pursuant to this Plan and any other security based compensation arrangements of the Corporation is 10% of the total number of Shares then outstanding.  For purposes of this Section 2.06, the number of Shares then outstanding shall mean the number of Shares outstanding on a non-diluted basis immediately prior to the proposed grant of the applicable Restricted Share Right.

(b)

increase the number of Shares, other than by virtue of Sections 5.06, 5.07 and 5.08 of the Plan, which may be issued pursuant to the Plan; or

Subject to Section 5.09, no holder of any Restricted Share Rights shall be entitled to receive, and no adjustment shall be made for, any dividends, distributions or any other rights declared for shareholders of the Corporation for which the record date is prior to the date of exercise of any Restricted Share Right.


Section 5.05

Section 5.06

Automatic Extension of Restricted Period during Black Outs: Unless otherwise determined by resolution of the Committee, in the event any Restricted Period expires during a self imposed or regulatory black out period on trading securities of the Corporation, such Restricted Period shall be automatically extended until 48 hours after such black out period has expired.

Section 5.07

Adjustment in Number of Shares Subject to the Restricted Share Plan: In the event there is any change in the Shares, whether by reason of a stock dividend, consolidation, subdivision, reclassification or otherwise, an appropriate adjustment shall be made by the Committee in:


(a)

the number of Shares available under the Plan; and


(b)

the number of Shares subject to any Restricted Share Rights.


If the foregoing adjustment shall result in a fractional Share, the fraction shall be disregarded. All such adjustments shall be conclusive, final and binding for all purposes of the Plan.


Section 5.08

the offeror delivers with such notice an irrevocable and unconditional offer to grant replacement restricted share rights to the holders of Restricted Share Rights on the equity securities offered as consideration;


(b)

the Committee has determined, in good faith, that such replacement options have substantially the same economic value as the Restricted Share Rights being surrendered; and


(c)

the surrender of Restricted Share Rights and the granting of replacement restricted share rights can be effected on a tax deferred basis under the Income Tax Act (Canada).


Section 5.09

No Representation or Warranty: The Corporation makes no representation or warranty as to the future market value of any Shares issued in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.


Section 5.10

Compliance with Applicable Law: If any provision of the Plan or any Restricted Share Right contravenes any law or any order, policy, by-law or regulation of any regulatory body having jurisdiction, then such provision shall be deemed to be amended to the extent necessary to bring such provision into compliance therewith.

Interpretation: This Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario.

Form S-8 Registration Statement

Goldcorp Inc. Restricted Share Plan


Dear Sirs:


We act as counsel for Goldcorp Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada (the “Company”), and are familiar with the proceedings taken by the Company in connection with the common shares of the Company (the “Shares”) offered under the provisions of the Goldcorp Inc. Restricted Share Plan (the “Plan”), as described in the Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be filed by the Company under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Registration Statement”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.


As counsel to the Company, in connection with this opinion, we have examined the Company’s Articles of Arrangement dated November 1, 2000 and its By-laws, both as currently in effect; such other records of the corporate proceedings of the Company as we deem relevant; and the Registration Statement and the exhibits thereto.


In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons signing or delivering any instrument, the authenticity of documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.


Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that all necessary corporate action has been taken by the Company to authorize the issuance of Shares upon the due exercise of restricted share rights granted pursuant to and in accordance with the Plan and that, when such Shares are issued in accordance with the terms of the Plan, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.


We express no opinion herein as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein which are in effect on the date hereof.  No opinion is expressed herein with respect to any federal or state law of the United States.


We understand that you wish to file this opinion letter as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, and we hereby consent thereto.  Such consent is not an admission that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.



Very truly yours,
