2. Registration.

(a) On or prior to the Filing Deadline, the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities not already covered by an existing and effective Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 or, if Rule 415 is not available for offers and sales of the Registrable Securities, by such other means of distribution of Registrable Securities as the Holders may reasonably specify (the "Initial Registration Statement"). The Initial Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 (except if the Company is then ineligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering) subject to the provisions of Section 2(d). Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in this Section 2, in the event the Commission informs the Company that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, the Company agrees to promptly (i) inform each of the holders thereof and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to the Initial Registration Statement as required by the Commission and/or (ii) withdraw the Initial Registration Statement and file a new registration statement (a "New Registration Statement"), in either case covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the Commission, on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment or New Registration Statement, the Company shall be obligated to use its commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the SEC Guidance. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a greater number of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a Holder as to its Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will first be reduced by Registrable Securities not acquired pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (whether pursuant to registration rights or otherwise), and second by Registrable Securities represented by Shares (applied, in the case that some Shares may be registered, to the Holders on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Shares held by such Holders, subject to a determination by the Commission that certain Holders must be reduced first based on the number of Shares held by such Holders). In the event the Company amends the Initial Registration Statement or files a New Registration Statement, as the case may be, under clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by Commission or SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Initial Registration Statement, as amended, or the New Registration Statement (the "Remainder Registration Statements").

3

(b) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep each Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the earlier of (i) such time as all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been publicly sold by the Holders or (ii) the date that all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement may be sold by non-affiliates without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144 as determined by counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and reasonably acceptable to the Company's transfer agent (the "Effectiveness Period"). The Company shall telephonically request effectiveness of a Registration Statement as of 5:00 P.M. New York City time on a Trading Day. The Company shall promptly notify the Holders via facsimile or electronic mail of a ".pdf" format data file of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement on the same Trading Day that the Company telephonically confirms effectiveness with the Commission, which date of confirmation shall initially be the date requested for effectiveness of such Registration Statement. The Company shall, by 9:30 A.M. New York City time on the first Trading Day after the Effective Date, file a final Prospectus with the Commission, as required by Rule 424(b).

(d) In the event that Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Holders and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 promptly after such form is available, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the Commission.

3. Registration Procedures

In connection with the Company's registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall:

(a) Not less than five (5) Trading Days prior to the filing of each Registration Statement and not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to the filing of any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (except for Annual Reports on Form 10-K, and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K and any similar or successor reports), (i) furnish to the Holder copies of such Registration Statement, Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, as proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the review of such Holder (it being acknowledged and agreed that if a Holder does not object to or comment on the aforementioned documents within such five (5) Trading Day or one (1) Trading Day period, as the case may be, then the Holder shall be deemed to have consented to and approved the use of such documents) and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its officers and directors, counsel and independent registered public accountants to respond to such inquiries as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of respective counsel to each Holder, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Company shall not file any Registration Statement or amendment or supplement thereto in a form to which a Holder reasonably objects in good faith, provided that, the Company is notified of such objection in writing within the five (5) Trading Day or one (1) Trading Day period described above, as applicable.

(b) (i) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements, to each Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities for its Effectiveness Period; (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement (subject to the terms of this Agreement), and, as so supplemented or amended, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any comments received from the Commission with respect to each Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and, as promptly as reasonably possible, provide the Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to such Registration Statement that pertains to the Holders as "Selling Stockholders" but not any comments that would result in the disclosure to the Holders of material and non-public information concerning the Company; and (iv) comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of (subject to the terms of this Agreement) in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented; provided, however, that each Purchaser shall be responsible for the delivery of the Prospectus to the Persons to whom such Purchaser sells any of the Shares (including in accordance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act), and each Purchaser agrees to dispose of Registrable Securities in compliance with the "Plan of Distribution" described in the Registration Statement and otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. In the case of amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement which are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 3(b)) by reason of the Company filing a report on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q or Form 8-K or any analogous report under the Exchange Act, the Company shall have incorporated such report by reference into such Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or supplements with the Commission on the same day on which the Exchange Act report which created the requirement for the Company to amend or supplement such Registration Statement was filed.

4

(c) Notify the Holders (which notice shall, pursuant to clauses (iii) through (vi) hereof, be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made) as promptly as reasonably practicable (and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to such filing) and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than one (1) Trading Day following the day: (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement is proposed to be filed; (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a "review" of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on any Registration Statement (in which case the Company shall provide to each of the Holders true and complete copies of all comments that pertain to the Holders as a "Selling Stockholder" or to the "Plan of Distribution" and all written responses thereto, but not information that the Company believes would constitute material and non-public information); and (C) with respect to each Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective; (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other Federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information that pertains to the Holders as "Selling Stockholders" or the "Plan of Distribution"; (iii) of the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose; (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in a Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to such Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of such Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus, form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made), not misleading and (vi) of the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development with respect to the Company that the Company believes may be material and that, in the determination of the Company, makes it not in the best interest of the Company to allow continued availability of a Registration Statement or Prospectus, provided that, any and all such information shall remain confidential to each Holder until such information otherwise becomes public, unless disclosure by a Holder is required by law; and provided, further, that notwithstanding each Holder's agreement to keep such information confidential, each such Holder makes no acknowledgement that any such information is material, non-public information; provided, further, that the Company may not postpone or suspend the effectiveness of a Registration Statement under this Section 3(c) for more than forty-five (45) days in the aggregate during any twelve (12) month period.

(d) Use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, as soon as practicable.

(e) If requested by a Holder, furnish to such Holder, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment thereto and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously furnished or incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission; provided, that the Company shall have no obligation to provide any document pursuant to this clause that is available on the Commission's EDGAR system.

5

(f) Prior to any resale of Registrable Securities by a Holder, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from the registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for the resale by the Holder under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder reasonably requests in writing, to keep each registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement; provided, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, subject the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.

(g) If requested by a Holder, cooperate with such Holder to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to the Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by the Purchase Agreement and under law, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Holders may reasonably request.

4. Registration Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to the Company's performance of or compliance with its obligations under this Agreement (excluding any underwriting discounts and selling commissions and all legal fees and expenses of legal counsel for any Holder in excess of $5,000) shall be borne by the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses (A) with respect to filings required to be made with any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed for trading, and (B) with respect to compliance with applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company in connection with Blue Sky qualifications or exemptions of the Registrable Securities and determination of the eligibility of the Registrable Securities for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as requested by the Holders), (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities and of printing prospectuses if the printing of prospectuses is reasonably requested by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (v) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance, and (vi) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange as required hereunder. In no event shall the Company be responsible for any underwriting, broker or similar fees or commissions of any Holder or any legal fees or other costs of the Holders. For the avoidance of doubt, the fees and expenses for any Holders (including fees and expenses of legal counsel) which the Company is required to pay pursuant to this Section 4 shall be in addition to the fees and expenses which the Company is required to pay pursuant to Section 6(b)(v) of the Purchase Agreement.

5. Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, agents, partners, members, managers, stockholders, Affiliates and employees of each of them, each Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, partners, members, managers, stockholders, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of preparation and investigation and reasonable attorneys' fees) and expenses (collectively, "Losses"), as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, except insofar as (A) such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder's proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (B) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(c)(iii)-(vi), related to the use by a Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated and defined in Section 6(c) below, to the extent that following the receipt of the Advice the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss would have been corrected or (C) to the extent that any such Losses arise out of the Purchaser's (or any other indemnified Person's) failure to send or give a copy of the Prospectus or supplement (as then amended or supplemented), if required, pursuant to Rule 172 under the Securities Act (or any successor rule) to the Persons asserting an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of Registrable Securities to such Person if such statement or omission was corrected in such Prospectus or supplement. The Company shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement of which the Company is aware. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party (as defined in Section 5(c)) and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Holders.

(b) Indemnification by Holders. In connection with any registration in which a Holder is participating, each such Holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses arising out of any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading (i) to the extent that such untrue statements or omissions are contained in any information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein or (ii) to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder's proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (iii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(c)(iii)-(vi), to the extent related to the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 6(c). In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

7

(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an "Indemnified Party"), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the "Indemnifying Party") in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest exists if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party); provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnified Parties. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, all fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section 5) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within twenty (20) Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party is finally judicially determined to not be entitled to indemnification hereunder). The failure to deliver written notice to the Indemnifying Party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party of any liability to the Indemnified Party under this Section 5, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

(d) Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses, then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any reasonable attorneys' or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 was available to such party in accordance with its terms.

8

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d), (A) no Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission and (B) no contribution will be made under circumstances where the maker of such contribution would not have been required to indemnify the Indemnified Party under the fault standards set forth in this Section 5. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 5 are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties and are not in diminution or limitation of the indemnification provisions under the Purchase Agreement.

6. Miscellaneous.

The Leadership Development and Compensation Committee will seek the input of the Chief Executive Officer on the Personal Bonuses to be awarded to eligible Section 16 Officers Employees.

			federal, state or local law or regulation.  Upon the completion of such payment, eligible Employees shall have no further right to the payment of any bonus hereunder (other than any bonus payable hereunder with respect to a previous calendar year that has not yet been paid).  Payment of a bonus under this section along with any corporate bonus payable in the event of a Change of Control under the Newmont Section 16 Officer and Senior Executive Annual Incentive Compensation Program shall fully satisfy Section 3.02(a)(i)(B) of the 2012 Executive Change of Control Plan of Newmont and Section 3.02(a)(i)(B) of the Executive Change of Control Plan of Newmont and no further payments under Section 3.02(a)(i)(B) 2012 Executive Change of Control Plan or 3.02(a)(i)(B) of the Executive Change of Control Plan of Newmont shall be due.
		

		
			6.2       Restricted Stock Unit Bonus. In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the AICP) each Restricted Stock Unit Bonus for the current year shall immediately be granted at target level in the form of a restricted stock unit award vesting 1/3 on January 1 of the year immediately following the year in which the Change of Control occurred, and another 1/3 on each of the following two January 1 anniversaries.  The restricted stock unit award agreement shall provide for immediate vesting of all outstanding restricted stock units upon a termination of employment entitling the grantee to benefits under the applicable Executive Change of Control Plan of Newmont. 
		

		
			6.3       Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus.  In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the Newmont Annual Incentive Compensation Program), each eligible Employee or a Terminated Eligible Employee who terminated employment on account of Retirement (all other Terminated Eligible Employees who terminated employment prior to the Change of Control shall be excluded), shall become entitled to the payment of a Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus for an Extended Performance Period.  The Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus shall be calculated in the manner stated in Section 4.2 above, with the exception that (i) the Extended Performance Period shall be deemed to end on the date of the Change of Control, (ii) the Change of Control Price shall be substituted for the average closing price of Common Stock for the fourth quarter of the last calendar year of the Extended Performance Period for purposes of section 4.3(a)(i) above, and (iii) the TSR Payout Factor will be based on Relative Total Shareholder Return utilizing the Change of Control Price as the final closing price of a share of Common Stock.  The Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus shall be paid out as follows: (A) the percentage of the Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus equal to the percentage of the Extended Performance Period that elapsed up to the Change of Control shall be paid in a number of shares of common stock of the acquiring or resulting corporation or any parent or subsidiary thereof or that may be issuable by another corporation that is a party to the transaction resulting in such Change of Control received in such transaction by holders of Common Stock (such common stock, “Acquirer Stock”) equal to (x) the number of shares of Acquirer Stock received by such a holder for each share of Common Stock held by such holder in such transaction multiplied by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such percentage of the Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus, or (B) if Acquirer Stock is not issued in connection with such transaction, cash in an amount equal to the Change of Control Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such percentage of the Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus, within 5 days following the date of the Change of Control (provided,  however, that if such Change of Control does not constitute a change in the ownership or effective control of Newmont Mining or of a substantial portion of the assets of Newmont Mining, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section

			1.409A-3(i)(5) (a “409A CoC”), such percentage of the Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus shall be so paid when the Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus would otherwise have been paid in accordance with Article IV), and b) the percentage of the Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus equal to the percentage of the Extended Performance Period that did not elapse prior to the Change of Control shall be paid in the form of (A) restricted stock units covering a number of shares of Acquirer Stock equal to (x) the number of shares of Acquirer Stock received by a holder of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock held by such holder in such transaction multiplied by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such percentage of the Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus, that will have a vesting period equal to the Extended Performance Period otherwise remaining as of the date of the Change of Control, or (B) if Acquirer Stock is not issued in connection with such transaction, a deferred compensation arrangement with a balance initially equal to the Change of Control Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such percentage of the Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus, that will have a vesting period equal to the Extended Performance Period otherwise remaining as of the date of the Change of Control and a value from time to time as if such initial balance were invested in such deemed investment as the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee as constituted before the Change of Control shall determine in its discretion.  The portion of the Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus described in clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall vest upon any termination of employment of the eligible Employee with a Participating Employer prior to the expiration of the vesting period, with the exception of voluntary termination or termination for Cause, as defined in Newmont Mining’s Executive Change of Control Plan.  Such portion shall be paid in cash within 5 days following vesting; provided,  however, that if such Change of Control does not constitute a 409A CoC, such portion, to the extent vested in accordance with this sentence, shall be so paid when they would otherwise have been paid in accordance with Article IV.

			7.3       Amount Payable Upon Death of Employee.  If an eligible Employee who is entitled to payment hereunder dies after becoming eligible for payment but before receiving full payment of the amount due, or if an eligible Employee dies and becomes a Terminated Eligible Employee, all amounts due shall be paid as soon as practicable after the death of such eligible Employee or Terminated Eligible Employee to the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated by such eligible Employee or Terminated Eligible Employee to receive life insurance proceeds under Newmont Mining’s life insurance plan. In the absence of an effective beneficiary designation under such plan, any amount payable hereunder following the death of such eligible Employee or Terminated Eligible Employee shall be paid to his or her estate.
		

		
			7.4       Reimbursement.    The Leadership Development and Compensation Committee, to the full extent permitted by governing law, shall have the discretion to require reimbursement of any portion of a Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus previously paid to an eligible Employee pursuant to the terms of this compensation program if: a) the amount of such Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus was calculated based upon the achievement of certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of a restatement, and b) the amount of such Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus that would have been awarded to the eligible Employee had the financial results been reported as in the restatement would have been lower than the Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus actually awarded.  Additionally, the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee, to the full extent permitted by governing law, shall have the discretion to require reimbursement of any portion of a Restricted Stock Unit Bonus, Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus and Personal Bonus previously paid to an eligible Employee pursuant to the terms of this compensation program if the eligible employee is terminated for cause as defined in the Executive Change of Control Plan of Newmont. 
		

		
			7.5       Withholding Taxes.  All bonuses payable hereunder shall be subject to the withholding of such amounts as Newmont Mining or a Participating Employer may determine is required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable federal, state or local law or regulation.  The Leadership Development and Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit eligible Employees to satisfy withholding applicable to the portion of the bonus payable in shares of Common Stock or Performance Stock by causing Newmont Mining to withhold or sell the appropriate number of shares of Common Stock or Performance Stock from the bonus otherwise payable and to make the requisite withholding payments on behalf of the eligible Employee.
		

		
			7.6       Issuance of Stock.  Shares of Common Stock and Performance Stock issued under this compensation program may be issued pursuant to the provisions of any stock plan of Newmont Mining or as otherwise determined in the sole discretion of the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee.  All awards under this compensation program that consist of Common Stock or that are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or are otherwise based on, Common Stock, shall be treated as made under the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan as well as this compensation program and thereby subject to the applicable terms and conditions of the 2013 Stock Incentive Compensation Plan.
		

		
			7.7       General Operation and Amendment.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this compensation program to the contrary, this compensation program shall be administered and

			operated in accordance with any applicable laws and regulations including but not limited to laws affecting the timing of payment of any bonus under this compensation program.  
		

		
			7.8       Right of Offset.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, Newmont Mining or a Participating Employer may, in its sole discretion, apply any bonus payments otherwise due and payable under this compensation program against debts of an eligible Employee to Newmont Mining or an Affiliated Entity.  By accepting payments under this compensation program, all eligible Employees shall consent to the reduction of any compensation paid to the eligible Employee by Newmont Mining or an Affiliated Entity to the extent the eligible Employee receives an overpayment from this compensation program.
		

		
			7.9       Termination and Amendment.  The Board may at any time amend, modify, suspend or terminate this compensation program; provided, however, that the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee may, consistent with its administrative powers, waive or adjust provisions of this compensation program as it determines necessary from time to time.  The Leadership Development and Compensation Committee may amend the terms of any award theretofore granted hereunder, but no such amendment shall be inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this compensation program or materially impair the previously accrued rights of the eligible Employee to whom such award was granted with respect to such award without his or her consent, except such an amendment made to cause this program or such award to comply with applicable law, tax rules, stock exchange rules or accounting rules.
		

		
			7.10       Severability.  If any section, subsection or specific provision is found to be illegal or invalid for any reason, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of this compensation program, and this compensation program shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal and invalid provision had never been set forth in this compensation program.
		

		
			7.11       No Right to Employment.  The establishment of this compensation program shall not be deemed to confer upon any eligible Employee any legal right to be employed by, or to be retained in the employ of, Newmont Mining, a Participating Employer or any Affiliated Entity, or to give any eligible Employee any right to receive any payment whatsoever, except as provided under this compensation program.  All eligible Employees shall remain subject to discharge from employment to the same extent as if this compensation program had never been adopted.
		

		
			7.12       Transferability.  Any bonus payable hereunder is personal to the eligible Employee and may not be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
		

		
			7.13       Successors.  This compensation program shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Newmont Mining and eligible Employees and their respective heirs, representatives and successors.

			7.14       Governing Law.  This compensation program and all agreements hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, unless superseded by federal law.
		

		
			7.15       Section 409A.  It is the intention of Newmont Mining that awards and payments under this compensation program comply with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively “Code Section 409A”), and Newmont Mining shall have complete discretion to interpret and construe this program and any related plan or agreement in any manner that establishes an exemption from (or compliance with) the requirements of Code Section 409A.  If for any reason, such as imprecision in drafting, any provision of this program and/or any such plan or agreement does not accurately reflect its intended establishment of an exemption from (or compliance with) Code Section 409A, as demonstrated by consistent interpretations or other evidence of intent, such provision shall be considered ambiguous as to its exemption from (or compliance with) Code Section 409A and shall be interpreted by Newmont Mining in a manner consistent with such intent, as determined in the discretion of Newmont Mining.  None of Newmont Mining nor any other Participating Employer shall be liable to any eligible Employee or any other person (i) if any provisions of this program do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, Code Section 409A, or (ii) as to any tax consequence expected, but not realized, by any eligible Employee or other person due to the receipt or payment of any award under this program.
