 F.    Termination
of Employment By Company:  The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment for Cause, as defined below. Cause shall mean: 
 1.    the willful and continued failure of the Executive to perform substantially the Executive’s duties with the Company 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 Company’s code of conduct, after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Executive by the Board of its
delegate. Such written demand shall identify the manner in which the Board or its delegate believes that the Executive has not substantially performed the Executive’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 Executive, is necessary to avoid potential injury or harm to the Company or any person; or 
 2.    the engaging by the Executive in illegal conduct or gross negligence or willful misconduct which is potentially
injurious to the Company or any affiliated entity; provided that if the Executive acts in accordance with an authorized written opinion of the Company’s or an affiliated entity’s legal counsel, such action will not constitute
“Cause” under this definition; or 
  

 2 

 3.    any dishonest or fraudulent activity by the Executive or the
reasonable belief by the Company of the Executive’s breach of any contract, agreement or representation with the Company or an affiliated entity. 
 In the event the Company determines that Cause exists and the Company terminates executive’s employment, the Company shall have no contractual payment or other contractual obligations to Executive pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement. 
 G.    Termination of Employment by Executive:  Executive may terminate the
Executive’s employment with the Company at any time for any reason. In the event the Executive does terminate employment with the Company for any reason, Company shall have no contractual payment or other contractual obligations to Executive
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 
 H.    Resignation, Retirement or End of Term:  On and as of
the date of the termination of employment of Executive, either at the initiation of the Executive or the Company for any reason, or upon the end of the Term, the Executive shall resign from his position as an employee of the Company and from all
other positions he holds with the Company or with third parties at the request of the Company; provided, however, that the Executive’s position as director of Newmont Mining Corporation shall not be subject to this requirement and the Executive
shall remain in such position subject to the normal terms and conditions of such directorship. 
 I.    Exclusive
Remedy:  Except for the payments and benefits provided in this Agreement, upon expiration of the Term or termination of employment for any reason, the Executive shall have no other claims against, or be entitled to no other payments or
benefits from the Company pursuant to the Company’s policies, plans or other arrangements. 
 J.    Confidential
Information:  During and after the Term of employment, the Executive shall not use or disclose any secret, confidential or proprietary information, knowledge or data relating to the Company or any of its affiliates, present and future,
and their respective businesses, which were obtained by the Executive during his employment with the Company, unless such information is within the public knowledge at the time of the disclosure by the Executive (other than by acts of the Executive
or his representatives in violation of this Agreement). However, nothing in this Agreement shall restrict or preclude Executive from, or otherwise influence Executive in, testifying fully and truthfully in legal or administrative proceedings against
Company, as required by law or formal legal process. 
 K.    Non-Compete:  Other than performing duties
for the Company and any of its affiliates during the Term and for a period of one (1) year immediately following Executive’s separation of employment from Company, the Executive shall not compete, directly or indirectly, with any business
then being conducted or developed by the Company or any of its affiliates without the prior written consent of the Company and the applicable Board. For purposes of this provision, the term “compete” shall mean the Executive rendering any
advice or service, whether in association with or as an employee, stockholder, director, officer, consultant, independent contractor, partner, co-venturer, or investor (excluding any interest of Executive through investment of up to an aggregate of
3% in the equity or debt securities or equivalent partnership or other equity interest of any entity required to register under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to or on behalf of any organization conducting any business
then competitive to that of the Company or any of its affiliates. 
 L.    Relief for Non-Compete:  The
executive acknowledges that there is no adequate remedy at law for the breach of his obligations under paragraph II.K of this Agreement, and that the Company and/or its affiliates will suffer irreparable harm as a result of any such breach.
Therefore, Executive agrees that the Company and/or its affiliates, as applicable, shall be entitled to equitable relief, including temporary and permanent injunctive relief without the obligation of posting bond (cash or otherwise), in the event of
actual or threatened breach by the Executive of paragraph II.K. 
  

 3 

 M.    Successorship:  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of
and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns and any such successor or assignee shall be deemed substituted for the Company under the terms of this Agreement for all purposes. As used herein, “successor” and
“assignee” shall mean any person, firm, corporation, or other business entity (i) which, at any time, whether by purchase, merger, or otherwise, directly or indirectly acquires the stock of the Company, or (ii) if the successor
or assignee is an affiliate of the Company, a general reorganization of the corporate structure of the Company and its affiliates. 
 N.    Governing Law:  This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada.

illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired. Further, any provision found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable shall
be deemed, without further action on the part of the parties hereto, to be modified, amended and/or limited to the minimum extent necessary to render such clauses and/or provisions valid and enforceable. 
 P.    Waiver or Breach:  No waiver or any breach of any term or provision of this Agreement shall be construed to
be, nor shall be, a waiver of any other breach of this Agreement. No waiver shall be binding unless in writing and signed by the party waiving the breach. 
 Q.    Entire Agreement.  This Agreement supersedes all prior written and verbal promises and agreements between the parties. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between
the parties and may be amended, modified or superseded only by a written agreement signed by both parties. No oral statements by any employee of the Company shall modify or otherwise affect the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
