 Executive Change of Control Plan of Newmont

 EXECUTIVE CHANGE OF CONTROL PLAN OF NEWMONT 
  
 INTRODUCTION 
  
 The Board of Directors of Newmont USA Limited (“Newmont”) recognize
that, as is the case with many publicly held corporations, there exists the possibility of a Change of Control with respect to its parent company, Newmont Mining Corporation (“Newmont Mining”). This possibility and the uncertainty it
creates may result in the loss or distraction of executives of Newmont and its Affiliated Entities to the detriment of Newmont Mining and its shareholders. 
  
 The Board considers the avoidance of such loss and distraction to be essential to protecting and enhancing the best interests of Newmont and Newmont
Mining and its shareholders. The Board also believes that when a Change of Control is perceived as imminent, or is occurring, the Board should be able to receive and rely on disinterested service from executives regarding the best interests of
Newmont and Newmont Mining and its shareholders without concern that executives might be distracted or concerned by the personal uncertainties and risks created by the perception of an imminent or occurring Change of Control. 
  
 In addition, the Board believes that it is consistent with Newmont’s and
its Affiliated Entities’ employment practices and policies and in the best interests of Newmont Mining and its shareholders to treat fairly executives whose employment terminates in connection with or following a Change of Control. 

 
 Accordingly, the Board has determined that appropriate steps should be
taken to assure Newmont and its Affiliated Entities of the continued employment and attention and dedication to duty of its executives and to seek to ensure the availability of their continued service, notwithstanding the possibility, threat or
occurrence of a Change of Control. 
  
 Therefore, in order to
fulfill the above purposes, the following Plan has been developed and is hereby adopted. 
  
 DEFINITIONS 
  
 The
following definitions shall apply to the Plan. 
  
 “Administration Committee” means the committee appointed by the Board or its delegate in writing which serves in accordance with Article VII. 
  
 “Affiliated Entity” means any corporation or other entity, now or hereafter formed, that is or shall become
affiliated with the Employer, either directly or indirectly, through stock ownership or control, and which is (a) included in the controlled group of corporations (within the meaning of Code Section 1563(a) without regard to Code Section 1563(a)(4)
and Code Section 1563(e)(3)(C)) in which the Employer is also included or (b) included in the group of entities (whether or not incorporated) under common control (within the meaning of Code Section 414(c)) in which the Employer is also included.

 “Annual Bonus” means the aggregate annual bonus that a Participant is eligible to earn
pursuant to the Annual Incentive Compensation Payroll Practice of the Employer or any Affiliated Entity or any successor or replacement plans or payroll practices. “Annual Bonus” shall not include the value of any stock-based compensation
(including stock options, deferred stock, restricted stock and restricted stock units), incentive payments pursuant to the Employee Incentive Compensation Payroll Practice or the stock component of the Intermediate Term Incentive Compensation Plan.

Annual Bonus received in the last three years immediately prior to the Change of Control or the Annual Bonus paid or payable, including any bonus or portion thereof which has been earned but deferred (and annualized for any fiscal year consisting of
less than 12 full months or during which the Salaried Employee was employed for less than 12 full months), for the most recently completed fiscal year prior to the Salaried Employee’s Date of Termination, and 
  
 (iii) the highest employer matching contribution made to the
Newmont Retirement Savings Plan on behalf of the Salaried Employee, during the last three full fiscal years prior to the Change of Control. 
  
 “Annual Salary” means the Salaried Employee’s regular annual base salary immediately prior to his or her termination of employment
(including premium pay) and pre-tax deferrals under the Retirement Savings Plan of Newmont or similar plans. “Annual Salary” shall not include any extra pay for foreign service or foreign assignment, hardship pay, overtime, moving
allowances, the cost of goods and services, danger pay, the value of any stock-based compensation (including stock options, deferred stock, restricted stock and restricted stock units), incentive payments pursuant to the Employee Performance
Incentive Compensation Payroll Practice or the Intermediate Term Incentive Compensation Plan or any other incentive-based payroll practice, bonus or extraordinary compensation payments.

Employer or one of its Affiliated Entities (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness) or his failure to follow policies, directions or the Employer’s code of conduct, after a written demand for
substantial performance is delivered to the Salaried Employee by the Board or its delegate. Such written demand shall identify the manner in which the

 Effective January 1, 2004 
 Page 2 of 19 

 Board or its delegate believes that the Salaried Employee has not substantially performed the Salaried
Employee’s duties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, written demand for substantial performance shall not be required if the Board or its delegate determines that immediate action, including termination of the Salaried Employee, is necessary to
avoid potential injury or harm to the Employer or any person; or 
  
 (ii) the engaging by the Salaried Employee in illegal conduct or gross negligence or willful misconduct which is potentially injurious to the Employer or any Affiliated Entity; provided that if the Salaried Employee
acts in accordance with an authorized written opinion of the Employer’s or an Affiliated Entity’s legal counsel, such action will not constitute “Cause” under this definition; or 
  
 (iii) any dishonest or fraudulent activity by the Salaried
Employee or the reasonable belief by the Employer of the Salaried Employee’s breach of any contract, agreement or representation with the Employer or an Affiliated Entity. 
  
 In the event “Cause” is determined to exist by the Employer, and the Salaried Employee had received payments under
the Plan or otherwise been credited with amounts under the Plan, the Employer shall be entitled to recover such amounts from the Salaried Employee or offset such amount from any other amounts owed by the Employer to the Salaried Employee.

  
 “Change of Control” means the occurrence of

combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of Newmont Mining entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that for purposes of this

converted was itself acquired directly from Newmont Mining, (B) any acquisition by Newmont Mining, (C) any acquisition by any employee benefits plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by Newmont Mining or any corporation controlled by
Newmont Mining or (D) any acquisition by any corporation pursuant to a transaction which complies with clauses (A), (B) and (C) of paragraph (iii) below; or 
  
 (ii) Individuals who, as of the Effective Date, constitute the Board of Directors of Newmont Mining (“Incumbent Board”) cease
for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors of Newmont Mining; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the Effective Date whose election, or nomination for election by Newmont
Mining’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but

 excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of
an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board of Directors of Newmont Mining; or

  
 (iii) Consummation of a reorganization,
merger or consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Newmont Mining or an acquisition of assets of another corporation (a “Business Combination”), in each case, unless, following such Business
Combination, (A) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination
beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as
the case may be, of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, a corporation or other entity which as a result of such transaction owns Newmont Mining or all or substantially all of Newmont Mining’s

majority of the members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (or, if reference was made to equity ownership of any Parent Company for purposes of determining whether clause (A) above is satisfied in

Salaried Employee shall remain a Participant and shall be eligible for benefits under the Plan regardless of his transfer(s) to any Affiliated Entities (including entities domiciled outside the United States) regardless of whether the Affiliated
Entity is a participating Employer in the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board or its delegate may deny an otherwise eligible Salaried Employee participation in the Plan at any time prior to a Change of Control or Good Reason. Hourly-Rated
Employees are not eligible for benefits under the Plan. 
  
 Section .02. Duration of Participation. A Salaried Employee shall only cease to be a Participant in the Plan as a result of an amendment or termination of the Plan in accordance with Article X, or when he ceases to be a Salaried
Employee of any Employer, unless, at the time he ceases to be a Salaried Employee, the Salaried Employee is entitled to payment of a Separation Benefit as provided in the Plan or there has been an event or occurrence constituting Good Reason that
would enable the Salaried Employee to terminate his employment and receive a Separation Benefit. A Salaried Employee entitled to payment of a Separation Benefit or any other amounts under the Plan shall remain a Participant in the Plan until the
full amount of the Separation Benefit and any other amounts payable under the Plan have been paid to the Salaried Employee.

 BENEFITS 
  

Section .01. Separation Benefits. A Salaried Employee shall be entitled to Separation Benefits as set forth in Section 3.02 below if, at any
time following a Change of Control and prior to the third anniversary of the Change of Control, the Salaried Employee’s employment is terminated (i) by the Employer for any reason other than Cause, death, or Disability or (ii) by the Salaried
Employee within 120 days after the Salaried Employee has knowledge of the occurrence of Good Reason. 
  
 Section .02. Timing and Amount of Separation Benefits. If a Salaried Employee’s employment is terminated in circumstances entitling such
Salaried Employee to Separation Benefits pursuant to Section 3.01, the Employer shall provide to such Salaried Employee, as soon as administratively practicable following the Date of Termination, a lump sum cash payment as set forth in subsection
(a) below, and shall provide to the Salaried Employee the continued benefits as set forth in subsection (b) below and the outplacement services set forth in subsection (c) below. For purposes of determining the benefits set forth in subsections (a)
and (b), if the termination of the Salaried Employee’s employment is for Good Reason based upon a reduction of the Salaried Employee’s Annual Salary, opportunity to earn Annual Bonuses, or other compensation or employee benefits, such
reduction shall be ignored. 
  
 (a) Cash
Lump Sum. The cash lump sum referred to in this Section shall be the aggregate of the following amounts: 
  
 (i) the sum of (A) any Annual Salary owed to the Salaried Employee as of the Date of Termination, (B) the product of (1) the Salaried
Employee’s Target Annual Bonus and (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such year through the Date of Termination and the denominator of which is 365, and (C) any compensation previously deferred by the Salaried
Employee (together with any accrued interest or earnings thereon) and any accrued vacation pay, in each case to the extent not theretofore paid and in full satisfaction of the rights of the Salaried Employee; and 
  
 (ii) an amount equal to two times Annual Pay or, with
respect to individuals specified by the Board, three times Annual Pay; and 
  
 (iii) an amount equal to the excess (without present value discount, as a result of receiving such amount prior to the end of the three-year period following the Date of Termination) of (A) the actuarial equivalent of
the benefit under the Pension Plan of Newmont or any successor or replacement qualified defined benefit retirement plan in which the Salaried Employee participates immediately prior to the Change of Control, or under any such plan with more
favorable benefits in which the Salaried Employee participates following the Change of Control (the “Retirement Plan”), and the Pension Equalization Plan of Newmont and the Newmont Savings Equalization Plan or other excess or supplemental
retirement plans, programs or arrangements of Newmont Mining or any Affiliated 
  

 Executive Change of Control Plan of Newmont 
 Effective January 1, 2004 
 Page 7 of 19 

 Entity in which the Salaried Employee participates immediately prior to the Change of Control or under
any such plans, programs or arrangements with more favorable benefits in which the Salaried Employee participates following the Change of Control (together, the “SERP”) which the Salaried Employee would receive if the Salaried
Employee’s employment continued for three years after the Date of Termination. For purposes of this subsection, the following apply: (1) the Salaried Employee is fully vested in all benefits and (2) the Salaried Employee is treated as having
attained three additional years of age under the Retirement Plan and the SERP. The three additional years of age shall be included for purposes of reducing any otherwise applicable actuarial reduction, but not for purposes of reducing the number of
years of the Salaried Employee’s life expectancy, over (B) the actuarial equivalent of the Salaried Employee’s actual benefit (paid or payable), if any, under the Retirement Plan and the SERP as of the Date of Termination. The actuarial
assumptions used for determining actuarial equivalence in this Section shall be no less favorable to the Salaried Employee than the most favorable of those in effect under the Employer’s Retirement Plan and SERP, as the case may be, immediately
prior to the Change of Control or on the Date of Termination. 
  
 (b) Employee Benefits. During the three-year period following the Salaried Employee’s Date of Termination, the Salaried Employee and his or her family shall be provided with health, dental, vision,
prescription, disability and Employer provided life insurance benefits (insuring the lives of the Salaried Employee and his spouse) as if the Salaried Employee’s employment had not been terminated (provided, that such benefits and the
cost to the Salaried Employee shall be no less favorable than under the programs in which the Salaried Employee participated during the 120-day period immediately prior to the Change of Control). If the Salaried Employee becomes reemployed with
another employer and is eligible to receive medical or other welfare benefits under another employer provided plan, the medical and other welfare benefits described herein shall be secondary to those provided under such other plan during such
applicable period of eligibility. To the extent any benefits described in this Section cannot be provided pursuant to the appropriate plan or program maintained for Employees, the Employer shall provide such benefits outside such plan or program at
no additional cost (including without limitation tax cost) to the Salaried Employee. The benefits provided pursuant to this Section shall be offered concurrent with COBRA continuation coverage where applicable. 
  
 (c) Outplacement Services. The Employer shall,
at its sole expense as incurred, provide the Salaried Employee with outplacement services for a position that is commensurate with the position previously held. The scope and provider of the outplacement services shall be consistent with the
Employer’s practices during the one-year period immediately preceding the Change of Control. 
  
 Section .03. Other Benefits Payable. To the extent not previously paid or provided, the Employer shall timely pay or provide (or cause to be paid
or provided) to a Salaried Employee entitled to the Separation Benefits any other amounts or benefits required to be paid or provided to the Salaried Employee or which the Salaried Employee is eligible to receive under any plan, 
  

 Executive Change of Control Plan of Newmont 
 Effective January 1, 2004 
 Page 8 of 19 

 program, policy or practice or contract or agreement of the Employer and its Affiliated Entities, but excluding any
severance pay or pay in lieu of notice required to be paid to such Salaried Employee under applicable law or any other severance pay plan or policy of the Employer. 
  
 Section .04. Certain Additional Payments by the Employer. The additional payment provisions of this Section shall
apply except as may be prohibited by law as determined by the Board or its delegate. 
  
 (a) Anything in this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding and except as set forth below, in the event it shall be determined that any
payment or distribution by Newmont or an Affiliated Employer to or for the benefit of a Salaried Employee (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Plan or otherwise, but determined without regard to any
additional payments required under this Section) (a “Payment”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties are incurred by the Salaried Employee with respect to such excise tax (such
excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, is hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then the Salaried Employee shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”). The
Gross-Up Payment shall be in an amount such that after payment by the Salaried Employee of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payments the Salaried Employee
shall retain an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, if it shall be determined that the Salaried Employee is entitled to a Gross-Up Payment, but
the Payments do not exceed 110% of the greatest amount (the “Safe Harbor Amount”) that could be paid to the Salaried Employee such that the receipt of Payments would not give rise to any Excise Tax, then no Gross-Up Payment shall be made
to the Salaried Employee and the amounts payable under this Plan shall be reduced so that the Payments, in the aggregate, are reduced to the Safe Harbor Amount. The reduction of the amounts payable hereunder, if applicable, shall be made by first
reducing the payments under Section 3.02(a)(ii), unless an alternative method of reduction is elected by the Salaried Employee. For purposes of reducing the Payments to the Safe Harbor Amount, only amounts payable under this Plan (and no other
Payments) shall be reduced. If the reduction of the amount payable under this Plan would not result in a reduction of the Payments to the Safe Harbor Amount, no amounts payable under this Plan shall be reduced pursuant to this Section. 

 
 (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 3.04(c), all
determinations required to be made under this Section, including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by a
nationally recognized accounting firm selected by the Board or its delegate retained by the Employer (the “Accounting Firm”) which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Employer and the Salaried Employee within a
reasonable time after receipt of notice from the Salaried Employee that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by the Employer. In the event that the Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual,
entity or group effecting the Change of Control, the Salaried Employee shall appoint another nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required 
  

 Executive Change of Control Plan of Newmont 
 Effective January 1, 2004 
 Page 9 of 19 

 hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the Accounting Firm hereunder). All fees
and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Employer. Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Section, shall be paid by the Employer to the Salaried Employee within a reasonable time after the receipt of the
Accounting Firm’s determination. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Employer and the Salaried Employee. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial
determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not have been made by the Employer should have been made (“Underpayment”) consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In
the event that the Employer exhausts its remedies pursuant to this Section and the Salaried Employee thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and
any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Employer to or for the benefit of the Salaried Employee. 
  
 (c) The Salaried Employee shall notify the Employer in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would
require the payment by the Employer of the Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable after the Salaried Employee is informed in writing of such claim and shall apprise the Employer of the nature of such claim and the
date on which such claim is requested to be paid. The Salaried Employee shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 30-day period following the date on which it gives such notice to the Employer (or such shorter period ending on the date
that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If the Employer notifies the Salaried Employee in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim, the Salaried Employee shall: 
  
 (i) give the Employer any information reasonably requested
by the Employer relating to such claim; 
  
 (ii)
take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Employer shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably
selected by the Employer; 
  
 (iii) cooperate
with the Employer in good faith in order to effectively contest such claim; and 
  
 (iv) permit the Employer to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim. The Employer shall bear and pay directly all costs and
expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold the Salaried Employee harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and penalties
with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section, the Employer shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and,
at its sole option, may pursue or forgo any and all administrative 
  

 Executive Change of Control Plan of Newmont 
 Effective January 1, 2004 
 Page 10 of 19 

 appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim and
may, at its sole option, either direct the Salaried Employee to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner. The Salaried Employee agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any
administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Employer shall determine. If the Employer directs the Salaried Employee to pay such claim and sue for a refund, the Employer shall advance the
amount of such payment to the Salaried Employee, on an interest-free basis and shall indemnify and hold the Salaried Employee harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto)
imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect to such advance. Any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for the taxable year of the Salaried Employee with respect to which
such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount. Furthermore, the Employer’s control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and the
Salaried Employee shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority. 
  
 (d) If, after the receipt by the Salaried Employee of an amount advanced by the Employer pursuant to this
Section, the Salaried Employee becomes entitled to receive any refund with respect to such claim, the Salaried Employee shall (subject to the Employer’s complying with the requirements of Section 3.04(c)) promptly pay to the Employer the amount
of such refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes as applicable). If, after the receipt by the Salaried Employee of an amount advanced by the Employer pursuant to Section 3.04(c), a determination is made that the
Salaried Employee shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and the Employer does not notify the Salaried Employee in writing of its intent to contest such denial of refund within a reasonable time after such determination, then
such advance shall be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of such advance shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid. 
  
 Section .05. Coordination with Governmental Plans. In the event an
eligible Salaried Employee qualifies for benefits under both the Plan and another plan or arrangement offered by a governmental entity due to the Salaried Employee’s termination of employment with an Employer or Affiliated Entity, the Salaried
Employee shall receive the greater of the benefit provided by the Plan or the benefit provided by the governmental entity, but not both. In the event the benefit provided through the governmental entity’s plan or program is less than the
benefit provided under the Plan, such benefit shall offset the amount payable to the Salaried Employee under the Plan.

Mining does not hereby indemnify any entity or person that is not an employee of Newmont Mining or an Affiliated Entity. The indemnification provided hereunder shall continue as to a person who has ceased acting as a director, officer, member, agent

 CLAIMS PROCEDURE 
  
 Section .01. Claim for Benefits. In order to receive benefits under the Plan, a claimant must submit a claim. An
authorized representative may act on behalf of a claimant, and any reference to “claimant” in this Article VIII shall include such an authorized representative. 
  
 All claims for benefits must be submitted to the Administration Committee on the forms (or using the method) prescribed by
the Administration Committee along with such other documentation as the Administration Committee may reasonably require within the time period established by the Administration Committee. 
  
 Section .02. Timing of Benefit Determinations. The Administration Committee, or its delegate, shall review all
materials and approve or deny the claim. The review shall be made in accordance with the Plan, and the Administration Committee, or its delegate, shall apply Plan provisions consistently with respect to similarly situated claimants. If the claim is
denied, in whole or in part, then written notice of the denial shall be furnished to the claimant within 90 days of the date the claim was initially received. The notice shall set forth the specific reason for the decision, the pertinent provisions
of the Plan on which the decision is based, a description of additional information necessary to perfect the claim and why such information is necessary, an explanation of the appeal procedures and applicable time limitations, and a statement of the
claimant’s right to bring a civil action under Section 502 of ERISA if the appeal is denied. 
  
 If the Administration Committee, or its delegate, determines that an extension is necessary due to special circumstances beyond the Plan’s control,
it shall provide a written notice of the extension to the claimant within the initial 90-day period described in this Section. The notice shall state the reason more time is needed, the date by which the Plan expects to render a decision, the
unresolved issues that prevent a decision on the claim, the additional information needed to resolve those issues and the standards on which entitlement to a benefit is based. The extension shall be for a reasonable period of time not to exceed 90
days. 
  
 Section .03. Notification of Denial of Claim. If
the Administration Committee makes an adverse benefit determination with respect to a claim, the Administration Committee shall provide notice to the claimant regarding the determination. The notice may be written or electronic. The Administration
Committee’s notice of an adverse benefit determination shall set forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant: 
  
 (a) the specific reasons for the denial; 
  
 (b) specific references to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based; 
  
 (c) a description of any additional material and information
needed for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why the material or information is needed;

to the appeals procedures and a statement of claimant’s right to bring a civil action under ERISA Section 502(a) following an adverse benefit determination on appeal; and 
  
 (e) if an internal rule, guideline, protocol or similar criterion was relied upon in making the adverse
benefit determination, either the specific rule, guideline, protocol or other similar criterion or a statement that such will be provided free of charge to the claimant upon request. 
  
 Section .04. Appeal Procedure. A claimant may appeal an adverse benefit determination to the Appeals Committee in
accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 8.04. 
  
 (a) Appeal of a Denied Claim. A claimant may initiate an appeal by submitting a written request for review to the Appeals Committee within 60 days after the denial is received. The claimant may send the
Appeals Committee a written statement of the issues and any other documents in support of the claim. The claimant shall be entitled to copy and review all relevant comments, documents, records and other information free of charge. 
  
 (b) Scope of Appeals Review. The appeal shall
be conducted by the Appeals Committee. The Appeals Committee shall take into account all comments, documents, records and other information submitted by the claimant relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted or
considered in the initial determination. The review shall be made in accordance with the Plan document, and the Appeals Committee shall apply the Plan provisions consistently with respect to similarly situated claimants. 
  
 The claimant shall be entitled to review and receive, free
of charge, copies of all documents, records and other information relevant to the claim for benefits. The Appeals Committee shall examine all facts, comments, documents, records and other information considered in the initial denial of benefits or
subsequently submitted to the Appeals Committee and make a final determination as to whether the denial of benefits is justified under the circumstances. The final examination and review shall not afford deference to the Administration
Committee’s initial benefit determination. 
  
 Section
..05. Timing of Decision on Appeal. The Appeals Committee shall render its decision within 60 days after receipt of the appeal and shall send the claimant a written notice of its decision. If the Appeals Committee determines that there are
special circumstances requiring an extension of time for review and processing of the appeal, the Appeals Committee shall send the claimant a written notice of the extension which gives the reasons for the delay and the date by which the Plan
expects to render the determination on appeal. The notice shall be given before the expiration of the 60-day period described above. The extension shall be for a reasonable period of time not to exceed 60 days.

civil action under ERISA Section 502(a) following an adverse benefit determination on appeal; and 
  
 (e) if an internal rule, guideline, protocol or similar criterion was relied upon in making the adverse benefit determination, either the
specific rule, guideline, protocol or other similar criterion or a statement that such will be provided free of charge to the claimant upon request. 
  
 Section .07. Legal Actions. A claimant must exhaust his or her administrative remedies under the Plan prior to bringing any legal action with
respect to a claim for benefits. 
  
 Section .08. Discretion of
Administration Committee and Appeals Committee. The Administration Committee and the Appeals Committee shall have full discretionary authority to consider claims and appeals filed under the Plan and to determine eligibility, status and rights of
all individuals under the Plan and to construe any and all terms of the Plan. 
  
 MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 Section .01. Full Settlement. The Employer’s obligation to make the payments provided for under this Plan and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense
or other claim, right or action which the Employer may have against a Salaried Employee or others. In no event shall a Salaried Employee be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to
the Salaried Employee under any of the provisions of this Plan and such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Salaried Employee obtains other employment. The Employer agrees to pay, to the full extent permitted by law, all legal fees and
expenses which a Salaried Employee may reasonably incur as a result of any contest by the Employer, the Salaried Employee or others of the validity or enforceability of, or liability under, any provision of this Plan or any guarantee of performance
thereof (including as a result of any contest by the Salaried Employee about the amount of any payment pursuant to this Plan), plus in each case reasonable interest on any delayed payment. Reimbursement shall be made by the Employer to the Salaried
Employee only if the Salaried Employee prevails in connection with such dispute. Such reimbursement shall be made as soon as practicable following the resolution of such contest or dispute (whether or not appealed).

 Page 16 of 19 

 Section .02. Confidential Information. Each Salaried Employee shall hold in a fiduciary capacity
for the benefit of the Employer all secret or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Employer or any of its Affiliated Entities, and their respective businesses, which shall have been obtained by the Salaried Employee during the
Salaried Employee’s employment by the Employer or any of its Affiliated Entities and which shall not be or become public knowledge (other than by acts by the Salaried Employee or representatives of the Salaried Employee in violation of this
Plan). After termination of a Salaried Employee’s employment with the Employer, the Salaried Employee shall not, without the prior written consent of the Employer or as may otherwise be required by law or legal process, communicate or divulge
any such information, knowledge or data to anyone other than the Employer and those designated by it. In no event shall an asserted violation of the provisions of this Section constitute a basis for deferring or withholding any amounts otherwise
payable under this Plan. 
  
 Section .03. Unfunded Plan
Status. This Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan within the meaning of ERISA. All payments pursuant to the Plan shall be made from the general funds of the Employer. No Salaried Employee or other person shall have under any circumstances any
interest in any particular property or assets of the Employer as a result of participating in the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employer may (but shall not be obligated to) create one or more trusts, the assets of which are subject to the
claims of the Employer’s creditors, to assist it in accumulating funds to pay its obligations under the Plan. 
  
 Section .04. Employment Status. This Plan does not constitute a contract of employment or impose on the Salaried Employee or the Salaried
Employee’s Employer any obligation for the Salaried Employee to remain an Employee or change the status of the Salaried Employee’s employment or the policies of the Employer regarding termination of employment. 
  
 Section .05. Validity and Severability. The invalidity or
unenforceability of any provision of the Plan shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of the Plan, which shall remain in full force and effect, and any prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not
invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
  
 Section .06. Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of the Plan shall in all respects be governed by the laws of Colorado, without reference to principles of conflict of law,
except to the extent preempted by federal law. 
  
 Section .07.
Right of Offset. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Employer may, in its sole discretion, apply any payments otherwise due and payable under this Plan against any Employee or terminated Employee loans outstanding to the Employer or
other debts of the Employee or terminated Employee to the Employer. By accepting payments under this Plan, the Employee shall consent to the reduction of any compensation paid to the Employee by the Employer to the extent the Employee receives an
overpayment from the Plan. 
  
 Section .08. Conformance With
Applicable Laws. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Plan shall be administered and operated in accordance with 
  

 Executive Change of Control Plan of Newmont 
 Effective January 1, 2004 
 Page 17 of 19 

 any applicable laws and regulations including but not limited to laws affecting the timing of payments to Salaried
Employees. The Board or its delegate reserves the right to amend this Plan at any time in order for this Plan to comply with any such laws and regulations. 
  
 Section .09. Payments Due Minors or Incapacitated Persons. If any person entitled to a payment under this Plan is a minor, or if the Administration
Committee or its delegate determines that any such person is incapacitated by reason of physical or mental disability, whether or not legally adjudicated as an incompetent, the Administration Committee or its delegate shall have the power to cause
the payment becoming due to such person to be made to another for his benefit, without responsibility of the Administration Committee or its delegate, the Employer or any other person or entity to see to the application of such payment. Payments
made pursuant to such power shall operate as a complete discharge of the Administration Committee, this Plan and the Employer. 
  
 DURATION, AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION 
  
 Section .01. Duration. Unless terminated by the Board, the Plan shall renew each January 1 and remain effective for the ensuing year. If a Change
of Control occurs while this Plan is in effect, this Plan shall continue in full force and effect following such Change of Control and shall not terminate or expire until after all Salaried Employees who become entitled to any payments hereunder
shall have received such payments in full. 
  
 Section .02.
Amendment or Termination. The Board may amend or terminate this Plan, provided that this Plan may not be terminated or amended in a manner adverse to Salaried Employees (including modifying the eligibility of Employees to participate in the
Plan) or during the three-year period following a Change of Control. 
  
 Section .03. Procedure for Extension, Amendment or Termination. Any extension, amendment or termination of this Plan by the Board in accordance with the foregoing shall be made by action of the Board in accordance with Newmont
Mining’s charter and bylaws and applicable law.

 Page 19 of 19Form of Incentive Stock Option Agreement

 EXHIBIT 10.2 
  
 SHILOH INDUSTRIES, INC. 
  
 INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 
  
 This AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of
                             (the “Date of Grant”), by and between Shiloh Industries, Inc. a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and                             
(“Participant”). 
  
 1. Grant of
Stock Option. Subject to and upon the terms, conditions, and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and in the Company’s Amended and Restated 1993 Key Employee Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), the Company hereby grants to
Participant as of the Date of Grant the Option Right to purchase              Common Shares (the “Optioned Shares”). The Option Right may be exercised from time to time in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The price at which the Optioned Shares may be purchased pursuant to the Option Right shall be $             per share subject to
adjustment as hereinafter provided (the “Option Price”). The Option Right is intended to be an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of that term under Section 422 of the Code, or any successor provision thereto. Except to
the extent of the $100,000 limitation set forth in Section 422(d) of the Code, the Option Right is intended to be an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of that term under Section 422 of the Code, or any successor provision
thereto; this Agreement shall be construed in a manner that will enable this Option Right to be so qualified. To the extent, if any, that the $100,000 limitation set forth in Section 422(d) of the Code is exceeded, the Option Right shall constitute
two separate options with the first option covering the number of Common Shares up to the $100,000 limitation intended to be an incentive stock option and the second option covering any excess Common Shares intended to be a nonqualified stock
option. 
  
 2. Term of Option Right. The
term of the Option Right shall commence on the Date of Grant and, unless earlier terminated in accordance with Section 6 hereof, shall expire ten (10) years from the Date of Grant. 
  
 3. Right to Exercise. Subject to Section 6 hereof, except as otherwise provided on Exhibit A attached
hereto, the Option Right will be exercisable to the extent of one-third (1/3) of the Optioned Shares covered by the Option Right after Participant shall have been in the continuous employ of the Company or a Subsidiary for one full year from the
Date of Grant and to the extent of an additional one third (1/3) thereof after each of the next two successive years thereafter during which Participant shall have been in the continuous employ of the Company or a Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in no event shall Participant be entitled to acquire a fraction of one Optioned Share pursuant to the Option Right. Participant shall be entitled to the privileges of ownership with respect to Optioned Shares purchased and delivered to
Participant upon the exercise of all or part of the Option Right. 

 4. Option Right Nontransferable. The Option Right granted hereby shall be neither
transferable nor assignable by Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of Participant, only by Participant, or in the event of his or her legal incapacity, by his or her
guardian or legal representative acting on behalf of Participant in a fiduciary capacity under state law and court supervision. 
  
 5. Notice of Exercise; Payment. To the extent then exercisable, the Option Right may be exercised by written notice to the Company
stating the number of Optioned Shares for which the Option Right is being exercised and the intended manner of payment. Payment equal to the aggregate Option Price of the Optioned Shares for which the Option Right is being exercised shall be
tendered in full with the notice of exercise to the Company in cash in the form of currency or check or other cash equivalent acceptable to the Company. Participant may also tender the Option Price by (a) the actual or constructive transfer to the
Company of nonforfeitable, nonrestricted Common Shares that have been owned by Participant for (i) more than one year prior to the date of exercise and for more than two years from the date on which the option was granted, if they were originally
acquired by Participant pursuant to the exercise of an incentive stock option, within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code or (ii) more than six months prior to the date of exercise, if they were originally acquired by Participant other than
pursuant to the exercise of an incentive stock option, or (b) by any combination of the foregoing methods of payment, including a partial tender in cash and a partial tender in nonforfeitable, nonrestricted Common Shares. Nonforfeitable,
nonrestricted Common Shares that are transferred by Participant in payment of all or any part of the Option Price shall be valued on the basis of their Market Value per Share on the date of transfer. The requirement of payment in cash shall be
deemed satisfied if Participant makes arrangements that are satisfactory to the Company with a broker that is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. to sell on the exercise date a sufficient number of Optioned Shares that
are being purchased pursuant to the exercise, so that the net proceeds of the sale transaction will at least equal the amount of the aggregate Option Price plus payment of any applicable withholding taxes, and pursuant to which the broker undertakes
to deliver to the Company the amount of the aggregate Option Price plus payment of any applicable withholding taxes on a date satisfactory to the Company, but not later than the date on which the sale transaction will settle in the ordinary course
of business. As a further condition precedent to the exercise of the Option Right, Participant shall comply with all regulations and requirements of any regulatory authority having control of, or supervision over, the issuance of Common Shares and
in connection therewith shall execute any documents that the Board shall in its sole discretion deem necessary or advisable. The date of Participant’s written notice shall be the exercise date. 
  

 - 2 - 

 6. Termination of Agreement. This Agreement and the Option Right granted hereby
shall terminate automatically and without further notice on the earliest of the following dates: 
  
 (a) Ninety (90) days after (i) Participant’s retirement under a retirement plan of the Company or any Subsidiary at the earliest
voluntary retirement age provided for therein or retirement at an earlier age with the consent of the Board or (ii) the termination of Participant’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary under circumstances determined by the Board to be
for the convenience of the Company; 
  
 (b) One
(1) year after Participant’s death or permanent disability if such death or permanent disability occurs (i) while Participant is employed by the Company or any Subsidiary or (ii) within the ninety (90) day period described in Section 6(a)
hereof; 
  
 (c) Thirty (30) calendar days after
Participant ceases to be an employee of the Company and the Subsidiaries for any reason other than as described in Section 6(a) or 6(b) hereof; or 
  
 (d) Ten (10) years from the Date of Grant. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Participant’s employment is terminated for cause, this Agreement shall terminate at
the time of such termination notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement and the Option Right will cease to be exercisable to the extent exercisable as of such termination and will not become exercisable after such termination. For
purposes of this provision, “cause” shall mean Participant shall have committed prior to termination of employment any act that the Board determines to have been intentionally committed and materially inimical to the interests of the
Company or any Subsidiary. 
  
 This Agreement
shall not be exercisable for any number of Optioned Shares in excess of the number of Optioned Shares for which this Agreement is then exercisable, pursuant to Sections 3 and 7 hereof, on the date of Participant’s termination of employment with
the Company or a Subsidiary. For the purposes of this Agreement, the continuous employment of Participant with the Company shall not be deemed to have been interrupted, and Participant shall not be deemed to have ceased to be an employee of the
Company or a Subsidiary, by reason of the transfer of his or her employment among the Company and the Subsidiaries or a leave of absence approved by the Board. 
  

7. Acceleration of Option Right. The Option Right granted hereby shall become immediately exercisable in full in the event of a
Change in Control. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if: 
  
 (a) any person (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, but excluding the Company, any

  

 - 3 - 

 Subsidiary, MTD Products Inc or any of its affiliates), should acquire direct or indirect ownership of
twenty percent (20%) or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Company; provided, however, that for purposes of this Section, any acquisition by an employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained
by the Company shall not constitute a Change in Control; 
  
 (b) any of the following transactions is consummated: 
  

	 	(i)	any consolidation or merger of the Company in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, other than (A) a merger of the Company in which the holders of the Common Stock,
immediately prior to the merger, have the same proportionate ownership of the surviving corporation immediately after the merger; or (B) a merger or consolidation of the Company with MTD Products Inc or any of its affiliates; or

  

	 	(ii)	any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all, or substantially all, of the assets of the Company except for a sale,
lease or exchange to MTD Products Inc or any of its affiliates; or 

  
 (c) during any period of two (2) consecutive years, the individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors
of the Company cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof, unless the election, or the nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders, of each new director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the
directors then still in office who were directors at the beginning of the period. 
  
 8. No Employment Contract. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall confer upon Participant any right with respect to continuance
of employment by the Company or any Subsidiary, nor limit or affect in any manner the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment or adjust the compensation of Participant. 
  
 9. Taxes and Withholding. To the extent that the
Company shall be required to withhold any federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with the exercise of the Option Right, and the amounts available to the Company for such withholding are insufficient, it shall be a condition to the
exercise of the Option Right that the Participant shall pay such taxes or make provisions that are satisfactory to the Company for the payment thereof. 
  

 - 4 - 

 10. Compliance with Law. The Company shall make reasonable efforts to comply with

of the Company, (b) any merger, consolidation, spin-off, split-off, spin out, split-up, reorganization, partial or complete liquidation, or other distribution of assets or issuance of rights or warrants to purchase securities, or (c) any other
corporate transaction or event having an effect similar to any of the foregoing. In the event of any such transaction or event, the Board, in its discretion, may provide in substitution for the Option Right such alternative consideration as it may
determine to be equitable in the circumstances and may require in connection therewith the surrender of the Option Right. 
  
 12. Availability of Common Shares. The Company shall at all times until the termination of the Option Right reserve and keep
available, either in its treasury or out of its authorized but unissued Common Shares, the full number of Optioned Shares deliverable upon the exercise of the Option Right. 
  
 13. Amendments. Any amendment to the Plan shall be deemed to be an amendment to this Agreement to the
extent that the amendment is applicable hereto; provided, however, that no amendment shall adversely affect the rights of Participant under this Agreement without Participant’s consent. 
  
 14. Severability. In the event that one or more of
the provisions of this Agreement shall be invalidated for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, any provision so invalidated shall be deemed to be separable from the other provisions hereof, and the remaining provisions hereof shall
continue to be valid and fully enforceable. 
  
 15. Relation to Plan. This Agreement is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall govern. Capitalized terms used herein
without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan. The Board acting pursuant to the Plan, as constituted from time to time, shall, except as expressly provided otherwise herein, have the right to determine any questions which
