Corporate Performance Bonus. Each operating site shall develop its own critical performance indicators for this purpose. 
 3.2
Target Amounts for Economic Performance Drivers. The Compensation Committee shall establish both the targets and the minimum and maximum amounts for each Economic Performance Driver on an annual basis. The target Consolidated
Sustaining Capital Expenditures, Consolidated Costs Applicable to Sales – Gold and Copper and Project Cost, together with the applicable minimums and maximums for each such Economic Performance Driver, shall be established in United States
dollars and cents. The target, minimum and maximum Attributable Ounces Production-Gold and Reserve and NRM Additions shall be established in ounces. The target, minimum and maximum Attributable Pounds Production-Copper shall be established in
pounds. The targets for Project Execution shall be established at the discretion of the Board. Targets will be adjusted for acquisitions or divestitures as approved by the Newmont Mining Board of Directors. 

3.3 Actual Performance for Economic Performance Drivers. As soon as possible after the end of each calendar year, the
Compensation Committee shall certify the extent to which actual performance met the target amounts for each Economic Performance Driver, following a report for the Internal Audit department. 

3.4 Aggregate Payout Percentage. An aggregate payout factor (the “Aggregate Payout Percentage”) will be
calculated as follows: 







 (i) Calculating the Performance Percentage for each Economic Performance
Driver. For each Economic Performance Driver, actual performance will be compared to the target, minimum and maximum amounts to arrive at a performance percentage (“Performance Percentage”) calculated as follows: 

 

	 	•	If the actual amount is less than the minimum amount, the Performance Percentage is zero; 


 

	 	•	If the actual amount is equal to the minimum amount, the Performance Percentage is 50%; 


 

	 	•	If the actual amount is less than the target amount and greater than the minimum amount, the Performance Percentage is the sum of (A) 50%, plus (B) the
product of 50%, times a fraction, the numerator of which is the difference between the actual amount and the minimum amount, and the denominator of which is the difference between the target amount and the minimum amount; 


 

	 	•	If the actual amount is equal to the target amount, the Performance Percentage is 100%; 


 

	 	•	If the actual amount is greater than the target amount and less than the maximum amount, the Performance Percentage is the sum of (A) 100%, plus (B) a
fraction, the numerator of which is the difference between the actual amount and the target amount, and the denominator of which is the difference between the maximum amount and the target amount; and 


 

	 	•	If the actual amount is greater than or equal to the maximum amount, the Performance Percentage is 200%. 


(ii) Calculating the Payout Percentage for each Economic Performance Driver. The payout percentage for each
Economic Performance Driver is the product of the Performance Percentage times the applicable weighting factor as listed in Appendix A (“Payout Percentage for each Economic Performance Driver”). 

(iii) Calculating the Aggregate Payout Percentage. The Aggregate Payout Percentage is the sum of the Payout
Percentages for each Performance Factor. 
 3.5 Determination of Target Performance Level. An Employee’s
Target Performance Level is determined by the Employee’s Pay Grade pursuant to the table in Appendix B. 
 3.6
Determination of the Corporate Performance Bonus. The Corporate Performance Bonus for each eligible Employee is the product of the Aggregate Payout Percentage, times the Employee’s Target Performance Level, times the
Employee’s Bonus Eligible Earnings. 
 3.7 Terminated Eligible Employees. Terminated Eligible Employees shall
be eligible to receive a Corporate Performance Bonus. This bonus will be calculated as follows: 
 Target Performance
Level x Year to Date Bonus Eligible Earnings = Corporate Performance Bonus Payable 







 3.8 Adjustments. The Compensation Committee may adjust the Performance
Percentage or any measure or otherwise increase or decrease the Corporate Performance Bonus otherwise payable in order to reflect changed circumstances or such other matters as the Compensation Committee deems appropriate. 

SECTION IV-PERSONAL PERFORMANCE BONUS 
 4.1 Personal Performance Level. At the end of the calendar year, each eligible Employee’s supervisor will evaluate the Employee and rate the Employee’s personal performance level.
In accordance with Newmont Mining’s performance management system, the supervisor will rate the Employee. Each Employee will be rated by the Employee’s supervisor in one of Newmont Mining’s Performance Rating Categories. In
conjunction with these ratings, Newmont Mining will assign a Personal Performance Bonus Factor for the Employee as listed in Appendix C and the Employee’s supervisor shall also recommend a Personal Performance Payout Factor within the
range stated in Appendix C corresponding to the rating that Employee’s supervisor assigned to Employee. Newmont Mining may increase or decrease any eligible Employee’s Personal Performance Bonus Factor in its sole discretion. 

4.2 Determination of Personal Performance Bonus. Subject to Section 4.3, an eligible Employee’s Personal
Performance Bonus is determined by multiplying the eligible Employee’s Bonus Eligible Earnings times the determined percentage from the Target Performance Level, as set forth in Appendix C times the Personal Performance Bonus Factor
determined pursuant to Section 4.1. 
 4.3 Terminated Eligible Employees. Terminated Eligible Employees shall
be eligible to receive a Personal Performance Bonus based upon an assumed Personal Performance Bonus Factor of 1.0, so that the Terminated Eligible Employees will receive a Personal Performance Bonus at their individual Target Performance Level
multiplied by their Bonus Eligible Earnings for the calendar year. 
 4.4 Ineligible Employees. Eligible Employees
whose Personal Performance Bonus Factor (determined pursuant to Section 4.1) is less than .70 shall not be eligible to receive a Personal Performance Bonus. 
 4.5 Adjustments of Personal Performance Bonus. The Compensation Committee may adjust the Personal Performance Bonus Factor or any measure or otherwise increase the Personal Performance Bonus
otherwise payable in order to reflect changed circumstances or such other matters as the Compensation Committee deems appropriate. 
 SECTION V-PAYMENT OF BONUS 
 5.1 Pay Grade. If an
eligible Employee was in more than one Pay Grade during the calendar year, the bonus payable to such eligible Employee shall be calculated on a pro-rata basis in accordance with the amount of time spent by such eligible Employee in each Pay Grade
during the calendar year. 







 5.2 Time and Method of Payment. The aggregate of any and
all bonuses payable under this program shall be payable to each eligible Employee (other than Terminated Eligible Employees) in cash as soon as practicable following approval of bonuses by the Compensation Committee. Terminated Eligible Employees

made in accordance with practices and procedures established by the Participating Employer. Payment under this program will be made no later than the 15th day of the third month following the calendar year in which an Employee’s right to payment is no longer subject
to a substantial risk of forfeiture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event an Employee failed to complete any required ethics training or failed to comply with acknowledgement of any Code of Conduct of Newmont Mining or any Affiliated Entity,

calendar year or a Personal Performance Bonus Factor of 1.0. If a Change of Control occurs prior to the time that the Compensation Committee has established the targets for the calendar year, such percentages shall be based upon the corresponding
percentages for the immediately preceding calendar year.
