If the Award Recipient commenced employment after the beginning of the Performance Period, their Bonus-Eligible Earnings shall be calculated on a pro-rata basis based on their base salary as of December 31 and the amount of time in the Performance Period during which they worked. In addition, if an Award Recipient’s base salary is reduced during the Performance Period, 2 Bonus-Eligible Earnings shall be calculated by pro-rating the base salary for each applicable salary period, such that the reduction applies only to the portion of the Performance Period during which the reduced salary was in effect.

If an Award Recipient dies during the calendar year, the Bonus-Eligible Earnings for such Terminated Award Recipient will be determined by their base salary as of the date of death. In the event of a Change of Control, the Bonus-Eligible Earnings of the Award Recipient shall be equal to their base salary, on an annualized basis, as of the date immediately preceding the Change of Control. In the case of a Terminated Award Recipient, the Bonus- Eligible Earnings will be determined by their base salary only as of the date of termination of employment.

SECTION II—ELIGIBILITY An Eligible Section 16 Officer shall be eligible to be granted a Corporate Performance Bonus or an Individual Performance Bonus, as applicable under this Section 16 STIP if such Eligible Section 16 Officer is: (i) on the payroll of a Participating Employer at the time of payment; (ii) on the payroll of a Participating Employer as of the last day of the calendar year comprising the Performance Period and prior to the time of payment the Eligible Section 16 Officer has not been terminated by Newmont or a Participating Employer for Cause or otherwise would not or could not have been terminated for Cause, as determined in Newmont’s sole discretion; or (iii) is a Terminated Award Recipient who terminated during the Performance Period.

(2) Calculating the Payout Percentage for each Performance Metric. The payout percentage for each Performance Metric is equal to the product of the Performance Percentage, multiplied by the applicable weighting factor listed in Appendix A. However, a fatality or significant potential events may result in a payout for the Health and Safety metric(s) that is less than the payout percentage determination described in the foregoing sentence. (3) Calculating the Aggregate Payout Percentage. The Aggregate Payout Percentage is the sum of the payout percentages for each Performance Metric, as described in Section 3.1(c)(2) hereof. (d) Determination of Payout Amount under Corporate Performance Bonus. The amount that shall vest and become payable as a Corporate Performance Bonus for each Award Recipient shall be equal to the product of the Aggregate Payout Percentage, multiplied by the Award Recipient’s Target Performance Level, multiplied by the Award Recipient’s Bonus-Eligible Earnings. 3.2 Individual Performance Bonus. If selected by the Chief Executive Officer or their delegate, a Non-ELT Section 16 Officer shall be eligible to receive an Individual Performance Bonus for a Performance Period based on individual performance criteria established by the Chief Executive Officer or their delegate. As soon as practicable after the end of each Performance Period, the Chief Executive Officer or their delegate shall evaluate the Award Recipient’s actual performance against such criteria and determine the amount, if any, of the Individual Performance Bonus to be paid, and shall inform the LDCC of such determination. 3.3 Terminated Award Recipients.

If an Award Recipient who is entitled to payment hereunder dies after becoming eligible for payment but before receiving full payment of the amount due, or if an Award Recipient dies and becomes a Terminated Award Recipient, all amounts due shall be paid as soon as practicable after the death of the Award Recipient, in a cash lump sum, to the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated by the Award Recipient to receive life insurance proceeds under Group Life and Accidental Death & Dismemberment Plan of Newmont USA Limited (or a successor plan) or a similar plan of a Participating Employer In the absence of an effective beneficiary designation under said plan, any amount payable hereunder following the death of an Award Recipient shall be paid to the Award Recipient’s estate. 3.5 Discretionary Adjustments. The LDCC (or the Board with respect to the CEO) may adjust the Performance Percentage or any measure, or increase or decrease the amount of the Corporate Performance Bonus or Individual Performance Bonus that is otherwise payable in order to reflect changed circumstances or such other matters as the LDCC deems appropriate. 3.6 Time and Method of Payment.

If the LDCC or its delegate determines that any person entitled to a payment hereunder is incapacitated by reason of physical or mental disability, whether or not legally adjudicated as incompetent, the LDCC or its delegate shall have the power to cause the payment becoming due to such person to be made to another for their benefit, and none of the LDCC or its delegate, Newmont, a Participating Employer, or any other person or entity will have any responsibility to see to the application of such payment. Payments made pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall operate as a complete discharge of the obligations of the LDCC or its delegate, Newmont or a Participating Employer under the Section 16 STIP. 5.4 Severability. If any section, subsection, or specific provision of the Section 16 STIP is found to be illegal or invalid for any reason, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Section 16 STIP, and Section 16 STIP shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal and invalid provision had never been set forth herein. 5.5 No Right to Employment. The establishment of the Section 16 STIP shall not be deemed to confer upon any person any legal right to be employed by, or to be retained in the employ of, any Participating Employer, or to give any Award Recipient or any person any right to receive any payment whatsoever, except as provided hereunder. All Eligible Section 16 Officers and Award Recipients shall remain subject to discharge from employment to the same extent as if the Section 16 STIP had never been adopted. 5.6 Transferability. Any Corporate Performance Bonus (and Individual Performance Bonus, if applicable) payable hereunder is personal to the Award Recipient or Terminated Award Recipient and may not be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise disposed of except by will, by the laws of descent and distribution or as provided in Section 5.3.
