____________________________
(1)Attributable gold ounces produced includes 60 and 69 thousand ounces for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, related to the Pueblo Viejo mine, which is 40% owned by Newmont and accounted for as an equity method investment.
(2)Attributable gold ounces sold excludes ounces related to the Pueblo Viejo mine, which is 40% owned by Newmont and accounted for as an equity method investment.
(3)Gold equivalent ounces are calculated as pounds or ounces produced or sold multiplied by the ratio of the other metals’ price to the gold price. In 2023, the Company updated the metal prices utilized for this calculation to align with reserve metal price assumptions; this resulted in fewer calculated gold equivalent ounces - other metals produced and sold of 55 thousand ounces and 48 thousand ounces, respectively, than would have been calculated based on the pricing used in 2022 for this calculation. Refer to Results of Consolidated Operations within Part I, Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis for further information.

First Quarter 2023 Highlights (dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
Net income: Reported Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders of $339 or $0.42 per diluted share, a decrease of $93 from the prior-year quarter primarily due to lower sales volumes for all metals except copper, higher Costs applicable to sales predominately resulting from cost inflation impacts, partially offset by a non-cash pension settlement charge recognized in 2022, lower Depreciation and amortization, and the net gain recognized on the exchange and subsequent sale of Triple Flag Precious Metals Corporation shares in 2023 compared to the loss on the sale of the La Zanja equity method investment in 2022.
Adjusted net income: Reported Adjusted net income of $320 or $0.40 per diluted share, a decrease of $0.29 per diluted share from the prior-year quarter (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures within Part I, Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis).
Adjusted EBITDA: Reported $990 in Adjusted EBITDA, a decrease of 29% from the prior-year quarter (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures within Part I, Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis).
Cash Flow: Reported Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of continuing operations of $481, a decrease of 30% from the prior year, and free cash flow of $(45) (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures within Part I, Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis).
ESG: In April 2023, published Annual Sustainability Report, providing a transparent view of ESG performance, and the Taxes and Royalties Contribution Report, providing an overview of the Company's tax strategy and economic contributions as part of its commitment to shared value creation.
Attributable gold production: Produced 1.3 million attributable ounces of gold and 288 thousand attributable gold equivalent ounces from co-products.
Financial strength: Ended the quarter with $2.7 billion of consolidated cash, $797 million of time deposits with a maturity of more than three months but less than one year, and $6.5 billion of total liquidity; declared a dividend of $0.40 per share in April 2023.

NEWMONT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited, dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)

NOTE 1     BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“interim statements”) of Newmont Corporation, a Delaware corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Newmont,” “we,” “us,” or the “Company”) are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim statements have been included. The results reported in these interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with Newmont’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed on February 23, 2023 on Form 10-K. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements and, in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted.
Noncontrolling interests
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, Net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interest is comprised of income of $12, all of which is related to Suriname Gold project C.V. (“Merian”). For the three months ended March 31, 2022, Net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interest is comprised of income of $20 and $1 related to Merian and Minera Yanacocha S.R.L. ("Yanacocha"), respectively. Newmont consolidates Merian through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Newmont Suriname LLC., in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as the primary beneficiary of Merian, which is a variable interest entity.
Yanacocha transaction
In February 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Compañia de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A. (“Buenaventura”) 43.65% noncontrolling interest in Yanacocha (the "Yanacocha Transaction") for $300 cash consideration, certain royalties on any production from other future potential projects, and contingent payments of up to $100 tied to higher metal prices, achieving commercial production at the Yanacocha Sulfides project and resolution on the outstanding Yanacocha tax dispute. Concurrently, the Company sold its 46.94% ownership interest in Minera La Zanja S.R.L. ("La Zanja") for a $45 loss on sale of its equity interest, included in Other income (loss), net. Additionally, in March 2022, Sumitomo exercised its option to require Yanacocha to repurchase its 5% interest which closed in the second quarter of 2022, resulting in the Company obtaining 100% ownership interest in Yanacocha.
NOTE 2     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company continues to experience the impacts from geopolitical and macroeconomic pressures. With the resulting volatile environment, the Company continues to monitor inflationary conditions, the effects of certain countermeasures taken by central banks, and the potential for further supply chain disruptions relating to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as an uncertain and evolving labor market. Additionally, in early 2023 the banking industry experienced adversity including bank failures, take-overs, and entrance into receivership or insolvency, amongst other events. While the Company has not experienced any impacts from these recent events, further instability in the banking system could put the liquidity of Newmont and third parties with which we do business at risk. The Company maintains strict adherence to its cash investment policies which focus on highly rated investments and capital preservation mechanisms to achieve the Company’s strategic objectives.
These factors could have further potential short- and, possibly, long-term material adverse impacts on the Company including, but not limited to, volatility in commodity prices and the prices for gold and other metals, changes in the equity and debt markets or country specific factors adversely impacting discount rates, significant cost inflation impacts on production, capital and asset retirement costs, logistical challenges, workforce interruptions and financial market disruptions, as well as potential impacts to estimated costs and timing of projects.
In the third quarter of 2022, the Company announced the delay of the full-funds investment decision for the Yanacocha Sulfides project in Peru in response to the current market conditions. While the Company has extended the timeline of the full-funds decision, assessment of the project remains a priority as the Company continues to advance engineering and long-term procurement activities. The delay of the Yanacocha Sulfides project is intended to focus funds on current operations and other capital commitments while management assesses execution and project options, up to and including transitioning Yanacocha operations into full closure. To the extent that assessment determines that the project is no longer sufficiently profitable or economically feasible under the Company’s internal requirements, it would result in negative modifications to our proven and probable reserves. Additionally, should the Company ultimately decide to forgo the development of Yanacocha Sulfides, the current carrying value of the assets under construction and other long-lived assets of the Yanacocha operations could become impaired and the timing of certain closure activities would be accelerated. As of March 31, 2023, the Yanacocha operations have total long-lived assets of approximately $1,065, inclusive of approximately $683 of assets under construction related to Yanacocha Sulfides. Refer also to our risk factors under the titles "Estimates relating to projects and mine plans of existing operations are uncertain and we may incur higher costs and lower economic returns than estimated” and "Our long-lived assets and goodwill could become impaired, which could have a material non-cash adverse effect on our results of operations” included in Part I of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on February 23, 2023, for further information.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited, dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
Additionally, the Company continues to hold the Conga project in Peru, which we do not currently anticipate developing in the next ten years as we continue to assess Yanacocha Sulfides; accordingly, the Conga project remains in care and maintenance. Should we be unable to develop the Conga project or conclude that future development is not in the best interest of the business, we may consider other alternatives for the project, which may result in a future impairment charge for the remaining assets. The total assets at Conga were $898 at March 31, 2023.
The Company will continue to monitor and evaluate the potential impacts of the current and ongoing inflationary pressures and supply chain disruptions. Depending on the duration and extent of ongoing global developments and inflationary conditions, these factors could materially impact the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial condition and could result in material impairment charges to the Company’s Property, plant and mine development, net; Inventories; Stockpiles and ore on leach pads; Investments; Deferred income tax assets; and Goodwill.
Refer to Note 17 below for further information on risks and uncertainties that could have a potential impact on the Company as well as Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on February 23, 2023.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the accounting for and recognition and disclosure of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses. The Company must make these estimates and assumptions because certain information used is dependent on future events, cannot be calculated with a high degree of precision from data available or simply cannot be readily calculated based on generally accepted methodologies. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts and disclosures in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements and Federal Laws
Effects of Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, ASU No. 2020-04 was issued which provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden on accounting for contract modifications caused by reference rate reform. In January 2021, ASU No. 2021-01 was issued which broadened the scope of ASU No. 2020-04 to include certain derivative instruments. In December 2022, ASU No. 2022-06 was issued which deferred the sunset date of ASU No. 2020-04. The guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024. The guidance may be adopted over time as reference rate reform activities occur and should be applied on a prospective basis. The Company is in the process of reviewing key contracts to identify any contracts that reference the LIBOR and to implement adequate fallback provisions if not already implemented to mitigate the risks or impacts from the transition. No material impacts are expected to the consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
Inflation Reduction Act
In August 2022, the U.S. government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the "IRA") into law. The IRA introduced an excise tax on stock repurchases of 1% of the fair market value of stock repurchases net of stock issued during the tax year and a corporate alternative minimum tax (the "Corporate AMT") of 15% on the adjusted financial statement income ("AFSI") of corporations with average AFSI exceeding $1 billion over a three-year period. The excise tax on stock repurchases is effective on net stock repurchases made after December 31, 2022 and the Corporate AMT is effective for tax periods beginning in fiscal year 2023. While waiting on pending Department of Treasury regulatory guidance, the Company is continuing to monitor developments. Based upon information known to date, the IRA had no material impact on our current consolidated financial statements and is not expected to have a material impact on future consolidated financial statements, disclosures, or cash flows.
NOTE 3     SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company regularly reviews its segment reporting for alignment with its strategic goals and operational structure as well as for evaluation of business performance and allocation of resources by Newmont’s Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). In January 2023, Newmont reassessed and revised its operating strategies and the accountabilities of the senior leadership team in light of the continuing volatile and uncertain market conditions. Following these changes, the Company reevaluated its segments to reflect certain changes in the financial information regularly reviewed by the CODM. As a result, the Company determined that its reportable segments were each of its 12 mining operations and its 38.5% interest in Nevada Gold Mines ("NGM"), which is accounted for using the proportionate consolidation method. Segment results for the prior periods have been recast to reflect the change in reportable segments.
In the following tables, Income (loss) before income and mining tax and other items from reportable segments does not reflect general corporate expenses, interest (except project-specific interest) or income and mining taxes. Intercompany revenue and expense amounts have been eliminated within each segment in order to report on the basis that management uses internally for

NOTE 17     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
General
Estimated losses from contingencies are accrued by a charge to income when information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability could be incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred. If a loss contingency is not probable or reasonably estimable, disclosure of the contingency and estimated range of loss, if determinable, is made in the financial statements when it is at least reasonably possible that a material loss could be incurred.
Operating Segments
The Company’s operating and reportable segments are identified in Note 3. Except as noted in this paragraph, all of the Company’s commitments and contingencies specifically described herein are included in Corporate and Other. The Yanacocha matters relate to the Yanacocha reportable segment. The Newmont Ghana Gold and Newmont Golden Ridge matters relate to the Ahafo and Akyem reportable segments, respectively. The CC&V matter relates to the CC&V reportable segment. The Mexico tax matter relates to the Peñasquito reportable segment.
Environmental Matters
Refer to Note 5 for further information regarding reclamation and remediation. Details about certain significant matters are discussed below.
Minera Yanacocha S.R.L. - 100% Newmont Owned
In early 2015 and again in June 2017, the Peruvian government agency responsible for certain environmental regulations, the Ministry of the Environment (“MINAM”), issued proposed modifications to water quality criteria for designated beneficial uses which apply to mining companies, including Yanacocha. These criteria modified the in-stream water quality criteria pursuant to which Yanacocha has been designing water treatment processes and infrastructure. In December 2015, MINAM issued the final regulation that modified the water quality standards. These Peruvian regulations allow time to formulate a compliance plan and make any necessary changes to achieve compliance.
In February 2017, Yanacocha submitted a modification to its previously approved compliance achievement plan to the MINEM. The Company did not receive a response or comments to this submission until April 2021. During this interim period, Yanacocha separately submitted an Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA") modification considering the ongoing operations and the projects to be developed and obtained authorization from MINEM for such projects. This authorization included a deadline for compliance with the modified water quality criteria by January 2024. In May 2022, Yanacocha submitted a proposed modification to this plan requesting an extension of time for coming into full compliance with the new regulations in 2027. In the event that MINEM does not grant Yanacocha an extension of the previously authorized timeline for, and agree to, the updated compliance achievement plan, fines and penalties relating to noncompliance may result beyond January 2024.
The Company currently operates five water treatment plants at Yanacocha that have been and currently meet all currently applicable water discharge requirements. The Company is conducting detailed studies to better estimate water management and other closure activities that will ensure water quality and quantity discharge requirements, including the modifications promulgated by MINAM, as referenced above, will be met. This also includes performing a comprehensive update to the Yanacocha reclamation plan to

address changes in closure activities and estimated closure costs while preserving optionality for potential future projects at Yanacocha. These ongoing studies, which will extend beyond the current year, continue to evaluate and revise assumptions and estimated costs of changes to the reclamation plan. While certain estimated costs remain subject to revision, the Company’s current asset retirement obligation includes plans for the construction and post-closure management of two new water treatment plants and initial consideration of known risks (including the associated risk that these water treatment estimates could change in the future as more work is completed). The ultimate construction costs of the two water treatment plants remain highly uncertain as ongoing study work and assessment of opportunities that incorporates the latest design considerations remain in progress. These and other additional risks and contingencies that are the subject of ongoing studies, including, but not limited to, a comprehensive review of the Company's tailings storage facility management, review of Yanacocha’s water balance and storm water management system, and review of post-closure management costs, could result in future material increases to the reclamation obligation at Yanacocha.
Yanacocha experienced heavy rainfall in early 2022, above average historical levels, which resulted in significant water balance stress and required active emergency management. Yanacocha has been in communication with Organismo Evaluación y Fiscalización Ambiental (“OEFA”), under MINAM, and local government regarding the emergency measures undertaken and contingency planning. Yanacocha was able to prevent any offsite release of untreated water, but did need to accumulate untreated water in mine pits. If accumulation in pits or other emergency measures are deemed a violation of existing permits, it could result in fines and penalties for unauthorized discharge. Such fines and penalties, if ultimately assessed, are currently unknown and otherwise cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Extended periods of rainfall, more extreme storm events or increased overall rainfall beyond historical or planned levels may also result in flooding or stress of mine pits and maintenance and storage facilities (e.g., tailings water), unpermitted off-site discharges, delays to planned study work, increased cost related to water infrastructure adjustments and potential negative impacts to permitting and operations.
Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company LLC - 100% Newmont Owned
In December 2021, Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company LLC (“CC&V”, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) entered into a Settlement Agreement (“Settlement Agreement”) with the Water Quality Control Division of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (the “Division”) with a mutual objective of resolving issues associated with the new discharge permits issued by the Division in January 2021 for the historic Carlton Tunnel. The Carlton Tunnel was a historic tunnel completed in 1941 with the purpose of draining the southern portion of the mining district, subsequently consolidated by CC&V. CC&V has held discharge permits for the Carlton Tunnel since 1983, but the January 2021 new permits contained new water quality limits. The Settlement Agreement involves the installation of interim passive water treatment and ongoing monitoring over the next three years, and then more long-term water treatment installed with target compliance by November 2027. In 2022, the Company studied various interim passive water treatment options, reported the study results to the Division, and based on an evaluation of additional semi-passive options that involve the usage of power at the portal, updated the remediation liability to $20. CC&V continues to study alternative long-term remediation plans for water discharged from the Carlton Tunnel. Depending on the remediation plans that may ultimately be agreed with the Division, a material adjustment to the remediation liability may be required.
Dawn Mining Company LLC (“Dawn”) - 58.19% Newmont Owned
Midnite mine site and Dawn mill site. Dawn previously leased an open pit uranium mine, currently inactive, on the Spokane Indian Reservation in the State of Washington. The mine site is subject to regulation by agencies of the U.S. Department of Interior (the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Bureau of Land Management), as well as the EPA.
As per the Consent Decree approved by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington on January 17, 2012, the following actions were required of Newmont, Dawn, the Department of the Interior and the EPA: (i) Newmont and Dawn would design, construct and implement the cleanup plan selected by the EPA in 2006 for the Midnite mine site; (ii) Newmont and Dawn would reimburse the EPA for its past costs associated with overseeing the work; (iii) the Department of the Interior would contribute a lump sum amount toward past EPA costs and future costs related to the cleanup of the Midnite mine site; (iv) Newmont and Dawn would be responsible for all future EPA oversight costs and Midnite mine site cleanup costs; and (v) Newmont would post a surety bond for work at the site.
During 2012, the Department of Interior contributed its share of past EPA costs and future costs related to the cleanup of the Midnite mine site. In 2016, Newmont completed the remedial design process, with the exception of the new WTP design which was awaiting the approval of the new NPDES permit. Subsequently, the new NPDES permit was received in 2017 and the WTP design commenced in 2018. The EPA completed their assessment and approval of the WTP design in 2021 and Newmont has selected contractors for the construction of the new water treatment plant and effluent pipeline. Construction of the effluent pipeline began in 2021, and construction of the new WTP began in 2022.
The Dawn mill site is regulated by the Washington Department of Health (the "WDOH") and is in the process of being closed in accordance with the federal Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act, and associated Washington state regulations. Remediation at the Dawn mill site began in 2013. The Tailing Disposal Area 1-4 reclamation earthworks component was completed during 2017 with the embankment erosion protection completed in the second quarter of 2018. The remaining closure activities will consist primarily of finalizing an Alternative Concentration Limit application (the "ACL application") submitted in 2020 to the WDOH to address groundwater issues, and also evaporating the remaining balance of process water at the site. In the fourth quarter of 2022, the WDOH provided

comments on the ACL application, which Newmont is evaluating and conducting studies to better understand and respond to the comments provided by the WDOH. These studies and the related comment process will extend beyond the current year and could result in future material increases to the remediation obligation.
The remediation liability for the Midnite mine site and Dawn mill site is approximately $185, assumed 100% by Newmont, at March 31, 2023.
Goldcorp Canada Ltd. - 100% Newmont Owned
Porcupine mine site. The Porcupine complex is comprised of active open pit and underground mining operations as well as inactive, legacy sites from its extensive history of mining gold in and around the city of Timmins, Ontario since the early 1900s. As a result of these primarily historic mining activities, there are mine hazards in the area that could require some form of reclamation. The Company is conducting studies to better catalog, prioritize, and update its existing information of these historical mine hazards, to inform its closure plans and estimated closure costs. These studies will extend beyond the current year and could result in future material increases to the reclamation obligation at Porcupine.
Other Legal Matters
Newmont Corporation, as well as Newmont Canada Corporation, and Newmont Canada FN Holdings ULC – 100% Newmont Owned
Kirkland Lake Gold Inc., which was acquired by Agnico Eagle Mines Limited in 2022 (still referred to herein as “Kirkland” for ease of reference), owns certain mining and mineral rights in northeastern Ontario, Canada, referred to here as the Holt-McDermott property, on which it suspended operations in April 2020. A subsidiary of the Company has a retained royalty obligation (“Holt royalty obligation”) to Royal Gold, Inc. (“Royal Gold”) for production on the Holt-McDermott property. In August 2020, the Company and Kirkland signed a Strategic Alliance Agreement (the “Kirkland Agreement”). As part of the Kirkland Agreement, the Company purchased an option (the “Holt option”) for $75 from Kirkland for the mining and mineral rights subject to the Holt royalty obligation. The Company has the right to exercise the Holt option and acquire ownership to the mineral interests subject to the Holt royalty obligation in the event Kirkland intends to resume operations and process material subject to the obligation. Kirkland has the right to assume the Company’s Holt royalty obligation at any time, in which case the Holt option would terminate.
On August 16, 2021, International Royalty Corporation (“IRC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Royal Gold, filed an action in the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia against Newmont Corporation, Newmont Canada Corporation, Newmont Canada FN Holdings ULC (collectively "Newmont"), and certain Kirkland defendants (collectively "Kirkland"). IRC alleges the Kirkland Agreement is oppressive to the interests of Royal Gold under the Nova Scotia Companies Act and the Canada Business Corporations Act, and that, by entering into the Kirkland Agreement, Newmont breached its contractual obligations to Royal Gold. IRC seeks declaratory relief, and $350 in alleged royalty payments that it claims Newmont expected to pay under the Holt royalty obligation, but for the Kirkland Agreement. Kirkland filed a motion seeking dismissal of the case against it, which the court granted in October 2022. Newmont submitted its statement of defense on February 27, 2023. Newmont intends to vigorously defend this matter, but cannot reasonably predict the outcome.
NWG Investments Inc. v. Fronteer Gold Inc.
In April 2011, Newmont acquired Fronteer Gold Inc. (“Fronteer”).
Fronteer acquired NewWest Gold Corporation (“NewWest Gold”) in September 2007. At the time of that acquisition, NWG Investments Inc. (“NWG”) owned approximately 86% of NewWest Gold and an individual named Jacob Safra owned or controlled 100% of NWG. Prior to its acquisition of NewWest Gold, Fronteer entered into a June 2007 lock-up agreement with NWG providing that, among other things, NWG would support Fronteer’s acquisition of NewWest Gold. At that time, Fronteer owned approximately 47% of Aurora Energy Resources Inc. (“Aurora”), which, among other things, had a uranium exploration project in Labrador, Canada.
NWG contends that, during the negotiations leading up to the lock-up agreement, Fronteer represented to NWG, among other things, that Aurora would commence uranium mining in Labrador by 2013, that this was a firm date, that Aurora faced no current environmental issues in Labrador and that Aurora’s competitors faced delays in commencing uranium mining. NWG further contends that it entered into the lock-up agreement and agreed to support Fronteer’s acquisition of NewWest Gold in reliance upon these purported representations. On October 11, 2007, less than three weeks after the Fronteer-NewWest Gold transaction closed, a member of the Nunatsiavut Assembly introduced a motion calling for the adoption of a moratorium on uranium mining in Labrador. On April 8, 2008, the Nunatsiavut Assembly adopted a three-year moratorium on uranium mining in Labrador. NWG contends that Fronteer was aware during the negotiations of the NWG/Fronteer lock-up agreement that the Nunatsiavut Assembly planned on adopting this moratorium and that its adoption would preclude Aurora from commencing uranium mining by 2013, but Fronteer nonetheless fraudulently induced NWG to enter into the lock-up agreement.
On September 24, 2012, NWG served a summons and complaint on the Company, and then amended the complaint to add Newmont Canada Holdings ULC as a defendant. The complaint also named Fronteer Gold Inc. and Mark O’Dea as defendants. The complaint sought rescission of the merger between Fronteer and NewWest Gold and $750 in damages. In August 2013 the Supreme

Court of New York, New York County issued an order granting the defendants’ motion to dismiss on forum non conveniens. Subsequently, NWG filed a notice of appeal of the decision and then a notice of dismissal of the appeal on March 24, 2014.
On February 26, 2014, NWG filed a lawsuit in Ontario Superior Court of Justice against Fronteer Gold Inc., Newmont Mining Corporation, Newmont Canada Holdings ULC, Newmont FH B.V. and Mark O’Dea. The Ontario complaint is based upon substantially the same allegations contained in the New York lawsuit with claims for fraudulent and negligent misrepresentation. NWG seeks disgorgement of profits since the close of the NWG deal on September 24, 2007 and damages in the amount of C$1,200. Newmont, along with other defendants, served the plaintiff with its statement of defense on October 17, 2014. Newmont, along with the other defendants, filed a motion to dismiss based on delay on November 29, 2022. Newmont intends to vigorously defend this matter, but cannot reasonably predict the outcome.
Newmont Ghana Gold Limited and Newmont Golden Ridge Limited - 100% Newmont Owned
On December 24, 2018, two individual plaintiffs, who are members of the Ghana Parliament (“Plaintiffs”), filed a writ to invoke the original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of Ghana. On January 16, 2019, Plaintiffs filed the Statement of Plaintiff’s Case outlining the details of the Plaintiff’s case and subsequently served Newmont Ghana Gold Limited (“NGGL”) and Newmont Golden Ridge Limited (“NGRL”) along with the other named defendants, the Attorney General of Ghana, the Minerals Commission of Ghana and 33 other mining companies with interests in Ghana. The Plaintiffs allege that under article 268 of the 1992 Constitution of Ghana, the mining company defendants are not entitled to carry out any exploitation of minerals or other natural resources in Ghana, unless their respective transactions, contracts or concessions are ratified or exempted from ratification by the Parliament of Ghana. Newmont’s current mining leases are both ratified by Parliament; NGGL June 13, 2001 mining lease, ratified by Parliament on October 21, 2008, and NGRL January 19, 2010 mining lease; ratified by Parliament on December 3, 2015. The writ alleges that any mineral exploitation prior to Parliamentary ratification is unconstitutional. The Plaintiffs seek several remedies including: (i) a declaration as to the meaning of constitutional language at issue; (ii) an injunction precluding exploitation of minerals for any mining company without prior Parliamentary ratification; (iii) a declaration that all revenue as a result of violation of the Constitution shall be accounted for and recovered via cash equivalent; and (iv) an order that the Attorney General and Minerals Commission submit all un-ratified mining leases, undertakings or contracts to Parliament for ratification. Newmont intends to vigorously defend this matter, but cannot reasonably predict the outcome.
Other Commitments and Contingencies

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) provides information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Newmont Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Newmont,” the “Company,” “our” and “we”). Please see Non-GAAP Financial Measures within Part I, Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis for the non-GAAP financial measures used in this MD&A by the Company.
This item should be read in conjunction with our interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included in this quarterly report. Additionally, the following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on February 23, 2023.
Overview
Newmont is the world’s leading gold company and is the only gold company included in the S&P 500 Index and the Fortune 500 list of companies. We have been included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index-World since 2007 and have adopted the World Gold Council’s Conflict-Free Gold Policy. Since 2015, Newmont has been ranked as the mining and metal sector's top gold miner by the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment. Newmont was ranked the top miner in 3BL Media’s 100 Best Corporate Citizens list which ranks the 1,000 largest publicly traded U.S. companies on ESG transparency and performance since 2020.
We are primarily engaged in the exploration for and acquisition of gold properties, some of which may contain copper, silver, lead, zinc or other metals. We have significant operations and/or assets in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Peru, Suriname, Argentina, Chile, Australia, and Ghana.
Refer to the discussion of Risk and Uncertainties within Note 2 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as well as the Consolidated Financial Results, Results of Consolidated Operations, Liquidity and Capital Resources and Non-GAAP Financial Measures sections presented below, for information about the continued impacts from the geopolitical and macroeconomic pressures including recent turmoil in the banking sector, inflation, effects of certain countermeasures taken by central banks, and the potential for further supply chain disruptions relating to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as an uncertain and evolving labor market.
In January 2023, the Company reevaluated its segments to reflect certain changes in the financial information regularly reviewed by the CODM and determined that its reportable segments were each of its 12 mining operations and its 38.5% interest in Nevada Gold Mines ("NGM"), which is accounted for using the proportionate consolidation method. Segment results for the prior periods have been recast to reflect the change in reportable segments. Refer to Note 3 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
In the third quarter of 2022, the Company announced the delay of the full-funds investment decision for the Yanacocha Sulfides project in Peru. With the delay of the Yanacocha Sulfides project, management will focus its efforts on optimizing its allocation of funds to current operations and other capital commitments, while continuing to assess execution and project plan options, up to and including transitioning Yanacocha operations into full closure. Refer to Note 2 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
In February 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Buenaventura's 43.65% noncontrolling interest in Minera Yanacocha S.R.L. ("Yanacocha") (the "Yanacocha Transaction") and sold its 46.94% ownership interest in Minera La Zanja S.R.L. ("La Zanja"). Additionally, in March 2022, Sumitomo exercised its option to require Yanacocha to repurchase its 5% interest which closed in the second quarter of 2022, resulting in the Company obtaining 100% ownership interest in Yanacocha. Refer to Note 1 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details regarding these transactions.
We continue to focus on improving safety and efficiency at our operations, maintaining leading ESG practices, and sustaining our global portfolio of longer-life, lower cost mines to generate the financial flexibility we need to strategically reinvest in the business, strengthen the Company’s investment-grade balance sheet and return cash to shareholders.

Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders per common share, diluted$0.42 $0.54 $(0.12)
    The decrease in Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, is primarily due to a decrease in Sales resulting from lower average realized prices for all metals except gold and lower sales volumes for all metals except copper, largely as a result of (i) lower ore grade milled and lower mill recovery at Peñasquito; and (ii) lower production at Tanami due to significant rainfall and flooding in the Northern Territory and surrounding areas in early 2023, which resulted in transportation route closures into the mine ("Tanami rainfall event"). As a result, processing operations were paused for the majority of February 2023. During this time, mining operations continued and ore was stockpiled and in late February, transportation routes were reopened, and processing operations were resumed. The Company is working with its insurers related to the business interruption that resulted from this event.
Additionally, the decrease in Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders is also the result of higher Costs applicable to sales predominately resulting from cost inflation impacts, partially offset by a non-cash pension settlement charge recognized in 2022, lower Depreciation and amortization, and the net gain recognized on the sale of the Triple Flag Precious Metals Corporation ("Triple Flag") investment, acquired during the first quarter of 2023 in exchange for the previously held Maverix Metals Inc. ("Maverix") investment, compared to the loss on the sale of the La Zanja equity method investment in 2022.
The details and analyses of our Sales for all periods presented are set forth below. Refer to Note 4 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

The effective tax rate is driven by a number of factors and the comparability of our income tax expense for the reported periods will be primarily affected by (i) variations in our income before income taxes; (ii) geographic distribution of that income; (iii) impacts of the changes in tax law; (iv) valuation allowances on tax assets; (v) percentage depletion; (vi) fluctuation in the value of the USD and foreign currencies; and (vii) the impact of specific transactions and assessments. As a result, the effective tax rate will fluctuate, sometimes significantly, year to year. This trend is expected to continue in future periods. Refer to Note 8 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of income taxes.

In August 2022, the U.S. government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the "IRA") into law. The IRA introduced an excise tax on stock repurchases of 1% and a corporate alternative minimum tax (the "Corporate AMT") of 15% on the adjusted financial statement income ("AFSI") of corporations with average AFSI exceeding $1 billion over a three-year period. The IRA is

effective for fiscal periods beginning 2023. While waiting on pending Department of Treasury regulatory guidance, we are continuing to monitor developments. Based upon information known to date, the IRA has no material impact in the current consolidated financial statements, disclosures, or cash flows. Further, it is not anticipated to have a material impact to future consolidated financial statements, disclosures, or cash flows.

Results of Consolidated Operations
Newmont has developed gold equivalent ounces ("GEO") metrics to provide a comparable basis for analysis and understanding of our operations and performance related to copper, silver, lead and zinc. Gold equivalent ounces are calculated as pounds or ounces produced or sold multiplied by the ratio of the other metals’ price to the gold price, using the metal prices in the table below:

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
Our foreign operations sell their gold, copper, silver, lead and zinc production based on USD metal prices. Therefore, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates do not have a material impact on our revenue. Despite selling gold and silver in London, we have no exposure to the euro or the British pound.
Foreign currency exchange rates can increase or decrease profits to the extent costs are paid in foreign currencies, including the Australian dollar, the Canadian dollar, the Mexican peso, the Argentine peso, the Peruvian sol, the Surinamese dollar, and the Ghanaian cedi. Approximately 49% of Costs applicable to sales were paid in currencies other than the USD during the three months ended March 31, 2023, respectively, as follows:

Variations in the local currency exchange rates in relation to the USD at our foreign mining operations decreased Costs applicable to sales by $68 per ounce during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022, primarily in Argentina, Canada, and Australia.
Our Cerro Negro mine, located in Argentina, is a USD functional currency entity. Argentina is a hyperinflationary economy with a cumulative inflation rate of over 216% for the last three years. In recent years, Argentina’s central bank enacted a number of foreign currency controls in an effort to stabilize the local currency, including requiring the Company to convert USD proceeds from metal sales to local currency within 60 days from shipment date or five business days from receipt of cash, whichever happens first, as well as restricting payments to foreign-related entities denominated in foreign currency, such as dividends or distributions to the parent and related companies and royalties and other payments to foreign beneficiaries. These restrictions directly impact Cerro Negro's ability to pay principal portions of intercompany debt to the Company. We continue to monitor the foreign currency exposure risk and the limitations of repatriating cash to the U.S. Currently, these currency controls are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
Our Merian mine, located in the country of Suriname, is a USD functional currency entity. Suriname has experienced significant inflation over the last three years and is a highly inflationary economy. In 2021, the Central Bank took steps to stabilize the local currency, while the government introduced new legislation to narrow the gap between government revenues and spending. The measures to increase government revenue mainly consist of tax increases; however, Newmont and the Republic of Suriname have a Mineral Agreement in place that supersedes such measures. Despite steps taken by the Central Bank, the Surinamese Dollar has continued to devalue. The majority of Merian’s activity has historically been denominated in USD; as a result, the devaluation or depreciation of the Surinamese dollar has resulted in an immaterial impact on our financial statements. Therefore, future devaluation or depreciation of the Surinamese dollar is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity Overview
We have a disciplined capital allocation strategy of maintaining financial flexibility to execute our capital priorities and generate long-term value for our shareholders. Consistent with that strategy, we aim to self-fund development projects and make strategic partnerships focused on profitable growth, while reducing our debt and returning cash to stockholders through dividends and share repurchases.
The Company continues to experience the impacts from geopolitical and macroeconomic pressures. With the resulting volatile environment, the Company continues to monitor inflationary conditions, as well as the effects of certain countermeasures taken by central banks, and the potential for further supply chain disruptions, as well as an uncertain and evolving labor market. Depending on the duration and extent of the impact of these events, or changes in commodity prices, the prices for gold and other metals, and foreign exchange rates, we could continue to experience volatility; transportation industry disruptions could continue, including limitations on shipping produced metals; our supply chain could continue to experience disruption; cost inflation rates could further increase; or we could incur credit related losses of certain financial assets, which could materially impact the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
In early 2023, the banking industry experienced adversity in which certain banks encountered failures, take-overs, and entrance into receivership or insolvency, amongst other events. Further instability in the banking system could put the liquidity of Newmont and third parties with which we do business at risk. The Company maintains strict adherence to its cash investment policies which focus on highly rated investments and capital preservation mechanisms to achieve the Company’s strategic objectives.
As of March 31, 2023, we believe our available liquidity allows us to manage the short- and, possibly, long-term material adverse impacts of these events on our business. Refer to Note 2 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on risks and uncertainties.
At March 31, 2023, the Company had $2,657 in Cash and cash equivalents. The majority of our cash and cash equivalents are invested in a variety of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. At March 31, 2023, the Company had $797 in time deposits with a maturity of more than three months but less than one year, which are included in Time deposits and other investments. Our Cash and cash equivalents and time deposits are highly liquid and low-risk investments that are available to fund our operations as necessary. We may have investments in prime money market funds that are classified as cash and cash equivalents; however, we continually monitor the need for reclassification under the SEC requirements for money market funds, and the potential that the shares of such funds could have a net asset value of less than their par value. We believe that our liquidity and capital resources are adequate to fund our operations and corporate activities.
At March 31, 2023, $915 of Cash and cash equivalents was held in foreign subsidiaries and is primarily held in USD denominated accounts with the remainder in foreign currencies readily convertible to USD. Cash and cash equivalents denominated in Argentine peso are subject to regulatory restrictions. Refer to Foreign Currency Exchange Rates above for further information. At March 31, 2023, $559 in consolidated cash and cash equivalents was held at certain foreign subsidiaries that, if repatriated, may be subject to withholding taxes. We expect that there would be no additional tax burden upon repatriation after considering the cash cost associated with the withholding taxes.

We believe our existing consolidated Cash and cash equivalents, time deposits, available capacity on our revolving credit facility, and cash generated from continuing operations will be adequate to satisfy working capital needs, fund future growth, meet debt obligations and meet other liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future. At March 31, 2023, our borrowing capacity on our revolving credit facility was $3,000 and we had no borrowings outstanding. We continue to remain compliant with covenants and do not currently anticipate any events or circumstances that would impact our ability to access funds available on this facility.

Cash Flows
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of continuing operations was $481 during the three months ended March 31, 2023, a decrease in cash provided of $208 from the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to a decrease in sales resulting from lower sales volumes for all metals except for copper and lower average realized prices for all metals except for gold, an increase in operating cash expenditures resulting from the impacts arising from the significant inflation experienced globally, and a buildup of inventory compared to the same period in 2022, primarily at Peñasquito, partially offset by a decrease in tax payments.
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $(342) during the three months ended March 31, 2023, a decrease in cash used of $177 from the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to the sale of the Triple Flag investment in 2023, the payment to Buenaventura relating to the sale of the La Zanja equity method investment in 2022, and higher net maturities of time deposits in 2023, partially offset by higher capital expenditures in 2023.
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $(350) during the three months ended March 31, 2023, a decrease in cash used of $545 from the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to the acquisition of noncontrolling interest in Yanacocha in 2022, lower dividend payments in 2023, and higher net repayments of debt in 2022.
Capital Resources
In April 2023, the Board declared a dividend of $0.40 per share, determined under the dividend framework. This framework is non-binding and is periodically reviewed and reassessed by the Board of Directors. The declaration and payment of future dividends remains at the full discretion of the Board and will depend on the Company’s financial results, cash requirements, future prospects and other factors deemed relevant by the Board.
Capital Expenditures
Cash generated from operations is used to execute our capital priorities, which include sustaining and developing our global portfolio of long-lived assets. Our near-term development capital projects include Tanami Expansion 2 and Ahafo North, which are being funded from existing liquidity and will continue to be funded from future operating cash flows.
We consider sustaining capital as those capital expenditures that are necessary to maintain current production and execute the current mine plan. Capital expenditures to develop new operations or related to projects at existing operations, where these projects will enhance production or reserves, are considered non-sustaining or development capital. The Company’s decision to reprioritize, sell or abandon a development project, which may include returning mining concessions to host governments, could result in a future impairment charge.
Additionally, as part of our ESG initiatives, in November 2021, Newmont announced a strategic alliance with CAT and pledged a preliminary investment of $100 with the aim to develop and implement a comprehensive all-electric autonomous mining system to achieve zero emissions mining. Newmont has paid $39, all of which occurred in 2022, and the remaining pledged amount is anticipated to be paid as certain milestones are reached through 2025. Payments are recognized in Advanced projects, research and development within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Other investments supporting our climate change initiatives are expected to include emissions reduction projects and renewable energy opportunities as we seek to achieve these climate targets. For risks related to climate-related capital expenditures,

Refer to Part II, Item 7 of our Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, for information regarding our debt and corporate revolving credit facilities.
In April 2023, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Second Amendment”) to amend certain terms of the existing $3,000 revolving credit agreement dated April 4, 2019, as amended by the first amendment dated as of March 30, 2021. The Second Amendment provides for the replacement of LIBOR-based rates with SOFR-based rates. Debt covenants under the Second Amendment are substantially the same as the existing credit agreement.
Debt Covenants. There were no material changes to our debt covenants. Refer to Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, for information regarding our debt covenants. At March 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all existing debt covenants and provisions related to potential defaults.
Supplemental Guarantor Information. The Company filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC on Form S-3 under the Securities Act, as amended, which enables us to issue an indeterminate number or amount of common stock, preferred stock, depository shares, debt securities, guarantees of debt securities, warrants and units (the “Shelf Registration Statement”). Under the
35

Table of Contents
Shelf Registration Statement, our debt securities may be guaranteed by Newmont USA Limited (“Newmont USA”), one of our consolidated subsidiaries (Newmont, as issuer, and Newmont USA, as guarantor, are collectively referred to here-within as the “Obligor Group”). These guarantees are full and unconditional, and none of our other subsidiaries guarantee any security issued and outstanding. The cash provided by operations of the Obligor Group, and all of its subsidiaries, is available to satisfy debt repayments as they become due, and there are no material restrictions on the ability of the Obligor Group to obtain funds from subsidiaries by dividend, loan, or otherwise, except to the extent of any rights of noncontrolling interests or regulatory restrictions limiting repatriation of cash. Net assets attributable to noncontrolling interests were $182 and $179 at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. All noncontrolling interests relate to non-guarantor subsidiaries. For further information on our noncontrolling interests, refer to Note 1 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Newmont and Newmont USA are primarily holding companies with no material operations, sources of income or assets other than equity interest in their subsidiaries and intercompany receivables or payables. Newmont USA’s primary investments are comprised of its 100% interest in Yanacocha and its 38.5% interest in NGM. For further information regarding these and our other operations, refer to Note 3 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis, Results of Consolidated Operations.
In addition to equity interests in subsidiaries, the Obligor Group’s balance sheets consisted primarily of the following intercompany assets, intercompany liabilities and external debt. The remaining assets and liabilities of the Obligor Group are considered immaterial at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Non-current external debt$5,566 $— $5,564 $— 
Newmont USA's subsidiary guarantees (the “subsidiary guarantees”) are general unsecured senior obligations of Newmont USA and rank equal in right of payment to all of Newmont USA's existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and senior in right of payment to all of Newmont USA's future subordinated indebtedness. The subsidiary guarantees are effectively junior to any secured indebtedness of Newmont USA to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.
At March 31, 2023, Newmont USA had approximately $5,566 of consolidated indebtedness (including guaranteed debt), all of which relates to the guarantees of indebtedness of Newmont.
Under the terms of the subsidiary guarantees, holders of Newmont’s securities subject to such subsidiary guarantees will not be required to exercise their remedies against Newmont before they proceed directly against Newmont USA.
Newmont USA will be released and relieved from all its obligations under the subsidiary guarantees in certain specified circumstances, including, but not limited to, the following:
upon the sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, of a majority of the total voting power of the capital stock or other interests of Newmont USA (other than to Newmont or any of Newmont’s affiliates);
upon the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of Newmont USA (other than to Newmont or any of Newmont’s affiliates); or
upon such time as Newmont USA ceases to guarantee more than $75 aggregate principal amount of Newmont’s debt (at March 31, 2023, Newmont USA guaranteed $600 aggregate principal amount of debt of Newmont that did not contain a similar fall-away provision).
Newmont’s debt securities are effectively junior to any secured indebtedness of Newmont to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and structurally subordinated to all debt and other liabilities of Newmont’s non-guarantor subsidiaries. At March 31, 2023, (i) Newmont’s total consolidated indebtedness was approximately $6,119, none of which was secured (other than $547 of Lease and other financing obligations), and (ii) Newmont’s non-guarantor subsidiaries had $4,304 of total liabilities (including trade payables, but excluding intercompany and external debt and reclamation and remediation liabilities), which would have been structurally senior to Newmont’s debt securities.
For further information on our debt, refer to Note 13 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

ITEM 3.       QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK (dollars in millions, except per ounce and per pound amounts).
Metal Prices
Changes in the market price of gold significantly affect our profitability and cash flow. Gold prices can fluctuate widely due to numerous factors, such as demand; forward selling by producers; central bank sales, purchases and lending; investor sentiment; the strength of the USD; inflation, deflation, or other general price instability; and global mine production levels. Changes in the market price of copper, silver, lead and zinc also affect our profitability and cash flow. These metals are traded on established international exchanges and prices generally reflect market supply and demand but can also be influenced by speculative trading in the commodity or by currency exchange rates.
Decreases in the market price of metals can also significantly affect the value of our product inventory, stockpiles and leach pads, and it may be necessary to record a write-down to the net realizable value, as well as significantly impact our carrying value of long-lived assets and goodwill. Refer to Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for information regarding the sensitivity of our impairment analyses over long-lived assets and goodwill to changes in metal price.
Net realizable value represents the estimated future sales price based on short-term and long-term metals prices, less estimated costs to complete production and bring the product to sale. The primary factors that influence the need to record write-downs of our stockpiles, leach pads and product inventory include short-term and long-term metals prices and costs for production inputs such as labor, fuel and energy, materials and supplies as well as realized ore grades and recovery rates.
45

Table of Contents
The significant assumptions in determining the stockpile, leach pad and product inventory adjustments for each mine site reporting unit at March 31, 2023 included production cost and capitalized expenditure assumptions unique to each operation and short-term and long-term assumptions as follows:
Short-TermLong-Term
Gold price (per ounce)$1,890 $1,600 
Copper price (per pound)$4.05 $3.50 
Silver price (per ounce)$22.55 $20.00 
Lead price (per pound)$0.97 $1.05 
Zinc price (per pound)$1.42 $1.30 
AUD to USD exchange rate$0.68 $0.75 
CAD to USD exchange rate$0.74 $0.80 
MXN to USD exchange rate$0.05 $0.04 
The net realizable value measurement involves the use of estimates and assumptions unique to each mining operation regarding current and future operating and capital costs, metal recoveries, production levels, commodity prices, proven and probable reserve quantities, engineering data and other factors. A high degree of judgment is involved in determining such assumptions and estimates and no assurance can be given that actual results will not differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions.
Interest Rate Risk
We are subject to interest rate risk related to the fair value of our senior notes which consist of fixed rates. For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the debt instrument, but not our earnings or cash flows. The terms of our fixed rate debt obligations do not generally allow investors to demand payment of these obligations prior to maturity. Therefore, we do not have significant exposure to interest rate risk for our fixed rate debt; however, we do have exposure to fair value risk if we repurchase or exchange long-term debt prior to maturity which could be material. See Note 9 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information pertaining to the fair value of our fixed rate debt.
Foreign Currency
In addition to our operations in the U.S., we have significant operations and/or assets in Canada, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Peru, Suriname, Argentina, Chile, Australia and Ghana. All of our operations sell their gold, copper, silver, lead and zinc production based on USD metal prices. Foreign currency exchange rates can fluctuate widely due to numerous factors, such as supply and demand for foreign and U.S. currencies and U.S. and foreign country economic conditions. Fluctuations in the local currency exchange rates in relation to the USD can increase or decrease profit margins, capital expenditures, cash flow and Costs applicable to sales per ounce/ pound to the extent costs are paid in local currency at foreign operations.
We performed a sensitivity analysis to estimate the impact to Costs applicable to sales per ounce arising from a hypothetical 10% adverse movement to local currency exchange rates at March 31, 2023 in relation to the U.S. dollar at our foreign mining operations. The sensitivity analyses indicated that a hypothetical 10% adverse movement would result in an approximate $68 increase to Costs applicable to sales per ounce at March 31, 2023.
Hedging
In October 2022, the Company entered into A$574 of AUD-denominated fixed forward contracts to mitigate variability in the USD functional cash flows related to the AUD-denominated capital expenditures expected to be incurred in 2023 and 2024 during the construction and development phase of the Tanami Expansion 2 project included in the Company's Australia segment. The Company has designated the forward contracts as foreign currency cash flow hedges against the forecasted AUD-denominated Tanami Expansion 2 capital expenditures.
By using hedges, we are affected by market risk, credit risk, and market liquidity risk. Market risk is the risk that the fair value of a derivative might be adversely affected by a change in currency exchange rates, and that this in turn affects our financial condition. We manage market risk by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken. We mitigate this potential risk to our financial condition by establishing trading agreements with counterparties under which we are not required to post any collateral or be subject to any margin calls on our derivatives. Our counterparties cannot require settlement solely because of an adverse change in the fair value of a derivative. We have performed a sensitivity analysis as of March 31, 2023, using a modeling technique that measures the change in the fair values arising from a hypothetical 10% adverse movement in the AUD foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar, with all other variables held constant. The analysis covered all of our AUD-denominated fixed forward contracts. The foreign currency exchange rates we used in performing the sensitivity analysis were based on AUD market rates in effect at March 31, 2023. The sensitivity analyses indicated that a hypothetical 10% adverse movement in foreign currency exchange rates would result in an approximate decrease in the fair value of the hedging derivative instruments of $35 at March 31, 2023.
46

Table of Contents
Credit risk is the risk that a third party might fail to fulfill its performance obligations under the terms of a financial instrument. We mitigate credit risk by entering into derivatives with high credit quality counterparties, limiting the amount of exposure to each counterparty and monitoring the financial condition of the counterparties.
Market liquidity risk is the risk that a derivative cannot be eliminated quickly, by either liquidating it or by establishing an offsetting position. Under the terms of our trading agreements, counterparties cannot require us to immediately settle outstanding derivatives, except upon the occurrence of customary events of default such as covenant breaches, including financial covenants, insolvency or bankruptcy. We further mitigate market liquidity risk by spreading out the maturity of our derivatives over time.
Commodity Price Exposure
Our provisional concentrate sales contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of the respective metal concentrates at the prevailing indices’ prices at the time of sale. The embedded derivative, which is not designated for hedge accounting, is marked to market through earnings each period prior to final settlement.
We perform an analysis on the provisional concentrate sales to determine the potential impact to Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders for each 10% change to the average price on the provisional concentrate sales subject to final pricing over the next several months. Refer below for our analysis as of March 31, 2023.

ITEM 4.       CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
During the fiscal period covered by this report, the Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as amended). Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 4.       MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES.
At Newmont, safety is a core value, and we strive for superior performance. Our health and safety management system, which includes detailed standards and procedures for safe production, addresses topics such as employee training, risk management, workplace inspection, emergency response, accident investigation and program auditing. In addition to strong leadership and involvement from all levels of the organization, these programs and procedures form the cornerstone of safety at Newmont, ensuring that employees are provided a safe and healthy environment and are intended to reduce workplace accidents, incidents and losses, comply with all mining-related regulations and provide support for both regulators and the industry to improve mine safety.
In addition, we have established our “Rapid Response” crisis management process to mitigate and prevent the escalation of adverse consequences if existing risk management controls fail, particularly if an incident may have the potential to seriously impact the safety of employees, the community or the environment. This process provides appropriate support to an affected site to complement their technical response to an incident, so as to reduce the impact by considering the environmental, strategic, legal, financial and public image aspects of the incident, to ensure communications are being carried out in accordance with legal and ethical requirements and to identify actions in addition to those addressing the immediate hazards.
The health and safety of our people and our host communities is paramount. This is why Newmont continues to sustain robust controls at our operations and offices globally, including in connection with COVID-19, COVID variants, and other health and safety consideration.
The operation of our U.S. based mine is subject to regulation by the Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”) under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the “Mine Act”). MSHA inspects our mine on a regular basis and issues various citations and orders when it believes a violation has occurred under the Mine Act. Following passage of The Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006, MSHA significantly increased the numbers of citations and orders charged against mining operations. The dollar penalties assessed for citations issued has also increased in recent years.
Newmont is required to report certain mine safety violations or other regulatory matters required by Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 104 of Regulation S-K, and that required information is included in Exhibit 95 and is incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report. It is noted that the Nevada mines owned by Nevada Gold Mines LLC, a joint venture between the Company (38.5%) and Barrick Gold Corporation (“Barrick”) (61.5%), are not included in the Company’s Exhibit 95 mine safety disclosure reporting as such sites are operated by our joint venture partner, Barrick.

4.1    Determination of Performance Stock—In General. The Performance Stock Bonus shall be calculated as soon as reasonably practicable after the LDCC determines the Performance Stock Bonus Payout Factor as described in Section 4.3 below. Following such determination, payment of the Performance Stock Bonus shall be made to eligible Employees as soon as reasonably practicable, in accordance with Section 4.5 below.
4.2 Calculation of Performance Stock Bonus. The Performance Stock Bonus equals the Target Performance Stock Bonus times the percentage dictated by the Performance Stock Bonus Payout Factor and corresponding schedule in Appendix B.
4.3    Calculation of the Performance Stock Bonus Payout Factor. The Performance Stock Bonus Payout Factor will be calculated by the following metrics:
80% Relative Total Shareholder Return and the corresponding percentage payout based on the schedule adopted by the LDCC, attached hereto in Appendix B.
10% Executive Female Representation based on the schedule adopted by the LDCC, attached hereto in Appendix B.
10% Scope 1 & 2 Emission Reduction Key Project Milestones based on the schedule adopted by the LDCC, attached hereto in Appendix B.
In the event that Absolute Total Shareholder Return over the Extended Performance Period is negative, the Performance Stock Bonus Payout Factor shall be capped at 100% for all metrics. Additionally, the total value maximum of any calculated Performance Stock Unit Bonus shall not exceed four times the dollar value of the Target Performance Stock Unit Bonus. In the event this maximum amount is exceeded, the Performance Stock Unit Bonus shall be reduced to a number of shares equaling four times the dollar value of the Target Performance Stock Unit Bonus divided by the average closing price of Common Stock for the 30 trading days, excluding the final 5 trading days, on the New York Stock Exchange of the Extended Performance Period, rounded down to the nearest share.
4.4    Separation of Employment and Payment of Performance Stock Bonus. Unless otherwise stated in this Section 4.4, an eligible Employee shall not be entitled to payment of a Performance Stock Bonus on or after any separation of employment, voluntary or involuntary. In the event an eligible Employee separates employment from a Participating Employer prior to payment of the Performance Stock Bonus, for which the Employee has already received a notice of grant and award agreement, as a result of: (a) Retirement, (b) death, (c) termination of employment entitling Employee to benefits under the Executive Severance Plan of Newmont, or separation benefits for any involuntary termination, other than for Cause, for Employees not eligible for benefits under the Severance Plan of Newmont or the Executive Severance Plan of Newmont, or (d) circumstances entitling eligible Employee to long-term disability benefits of the Company, such eligible Employee is a Terminated Eligible Employee and shall receive a Performance Stock Bonus for each of the outstanding awards calculated per the terms of this Program after the Extended Performance Period, with each separate award pro-rated based on the time they were actually employed by a Participating Employer during the Extended Performance Period. Further, a Terminated Eligible Employee who has an involuntary termination entitling the employee to benefits under the Severance Plan of Newmont or the Executive Severance Plan
v




of Newmont must execute a Waiver and Release pursuant to terms of such applicable plan in order to receive payment under this Section 4.4.
4.5    Form of Payment. The amount of Performance Stock Bonus payable under this compensation program shall be paid in Common Stock (payable in whole shares only rounded down to the nearest share). Upon the payment of the Performance Stock Bonus in Common Stock, an eligible Employee shall also be entitled to a cash payment equal to any dividends paid with respect to the Common Stock delivered for the Performance Stock Bonus for the Extended Performance Period, minus any applicable taxes.
4.6    Timing of Payment Payment of the Performance Stock Bonus will be made as soon as reasonably practicable during the calendar year following the Extended Performance Period to which such Performance Stock Bonus relates.
4.7    Performance Stock Bonus for Newly Hired or Newly Promoted eligible Employees. In the event an individual is hired as an eligible Employee, or promoted into an eligible Employee position, such eligible Employee may be eligible for payment of a pro-rated Performance Stock Bonus, as determined in the sole discretion of the Company or the LDCC for Section 16 Officers, at each date of payment of a Performance Stock Bonus after the date of hire or after the date of promotion.



V . INDIVIDUAL BONUS
5.1    Determination of Individual Bonus—In General. At the end of each Performance Period, the management will evaluate E-4 officer eligible Employees’ performance against relevant strategic objectives and award an Individual Bonus, up to the maximum amounts listed in Appendix A. At the end of each Performance Period, the designated supervisor of a non-Section 16 E-4 officer eligible Employee will evaluate the non-Section 16 E-4 officer eligible Employee’s performance against relevant strategic objectives and award an Individual Bonus, up to the maximum amounts listed in Appendix A. Following such determination, payment of the Individual Bonus shall be made to eligible Employees as soon as reasonably practicable following the end of the applicable Performance Period, provided that such payment shall be made no later than the 15th day of the third month following the Performance Period to which such Individual Bonus relates.
5.2    Separation of Employment and Payment of Individual Bonus. In the event an eligible Employee separates employment from a Participating Employer and is a Terminated Eligible Employee, the Individual Bonus shall be paid at 50% of the maximum level shown on Appendix A (with the exception that the calculation shall be based upon current rate of base salary, rather than eligible earnings), pro-rated for the time of employment during the Performance Period, and shall be paid as soon as practicable. However, in the event that a Terminated Eligible Employee separates employment at the beginning of a calendar year before the bonus is paid for the prior calendar year, the Terminated Eligible Employee shall receive the actual payout according to Section V of this program, at the same time as all other actual payouts are delivered according to this program. If an eligible Employee is terminated between January 1 and March 31 of any calendar year, and entitled to benefits under the Severance Plan of
vi




Newmont or the Executive Severance Plan of Newmont, Employee shall not qualify for any bonus under this program for the period of January 1 to March 31 for the calendar year of the termination.

6.2    Restricted Stock Unit Bonus. In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the STIP) 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 Performance 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 ending price for the Extended Performance Period for purposes of Section 4.3 above for the relative total shareholder return component of the payout, and actual performance as of the time of the Change of Control shall be used for purposes of non-relative total shareholder return component of the payout, and (iii) the Performance Stock Bonus Payout Factor for purposes of Section 4.3 above 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 Stock Bonus shall be paid out as follows: (A) the percentage of the Performance 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 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 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 or of a substantial portion of the assets of Newmont, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) (a “409A CoC”), such percentage of the Performance Stock Bonus shall be so paid when the Performance Stock Bonus would otherwise have been paid in accordance with Article IV), and b) the percentage of the Performance 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 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 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 LDCC as constituted before the Change of Control shall determine in its discretion.

10% Executive Female Representation based on the schedule adopted by the LDCC, attached hereto in Appendix B.
10% Scope 1 & 2 Emission Reduction Key Project Milestones based on the schedule adopted by the LDCC, attached hereto in Appendix B.
In the event that Absolute Total Shareholder Return over the Extended Performance Period is negative, the Performance Stock Bonus Payout Factor shall be capped at 100% for all metrics. Additionally, the total value maximum of any calculated Performance Stock Unit Bonus shall not exceed four times the dollar value of the Target Performance Stock Unit Bonus. In the event, this maximum amount is exceeded, the Performance Stock Unit Bonus shall be reduced to a number of shares equaling four times the dollar value of the Target Performance Stock Unit Bonus divided by the average closing price of Common Stock for the 30 trading days, excluding the final 5 trading days, on the New York Stock Exchange of the Extended Performance Period, rounded down to the nearest share.
4.4    Separation of Employment and Payment of Performance Stock Bonus. Unless otherwise stated in this Section 4.4, an eligible Employee shall not be entitled to payment of a Performance Stock Bonus on or after any separation of employment, voluntary or involuntary. In the event an eligible Employee separates employment from a Participating Employer prior to payment of the Performance Stock Bonus, for which the Employee has already received a notice of grant and award agreement, as a result of: (a) Retirement, (b) death, (c) termination of employment entitling Employee to benefits under the Executive Severance Plan of Newmont, or separation benefits for any involuntary termination, other than for Cause, for Employees not eligible for benefits under the Severance Plan of Newmont or the Executive Severance Plan of Newmont, or (d) circumstances entitling eligible Employee to long-term disability benefits of the Company, such eligible Employee is a Terminated Eligible Employee and shall receive a Performance Stock Bonus for each of the outstanding awards per the terms of this Program after the Extended Performance Period, with each separate award pro-rated based on the time they were actually employed by a Participating Employer during the Extended Performance Period.
v




Further, a Terminated Eligible Employee who has an involuntary termination entitling the employee to benefits under the Severance Plan of Newmont or the Executive Severance Plan of Newmont must execute a Waiver and Release pursuant to Section 2.01 of such applicable plan in order to receive payment under this Section 4.4.
4.5    Form of Payment. The amount of Performance Stock Bonus payable under this compensation program shall be paid in Common Stock (payable in whole shares only rounded down to the nearest share). Upon the payment of the Performance Stock Bonus in Common Stock, an eligible Employee shall also be entitled to a cash payment equal to any dividends paid with respect to the Common Stock delivered for the Performance Stock Bonus for the Extended Performance Period, minus any applicable taxes.
4.6    Timing of Payment. Payment of the Performance Stock Bonus will be made as soon as reasonably practicable during the calendar year following the Extended Performance Period to which such Performance Stock Bonus relates. Upon the payment of the Performance Stock Bonus in Common Stock, an eligible Employee shall also be entitled to a cash payment equal to any dividends paid with respect to the Common Stock delivered for the Performance Stock Bonus for the Extended Performance Period, minus any applicable taxes.
4.7    Performance Stock Bonus for Newly Hired or Newly Promoted eligible Employees. In the event an individual is hired as an eligible Employee, or promoted into an eligible Employee position, such eligible Employee may be eligible for payment of a pro-rated Performance Stock Bonus, as determined in the sole discretion of the Company or the LDCC for Section 16 Officers, at each date of payment of a Performance Stock Bonus after the date of hire or after the date of promotion.
V . CHANGE OF CONTROL
5.1    Restricted Stock Unit Bonus. In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the STIP) 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.
5.2    Performance Stock Bonus. In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the STIP), each eligible Employee or a Terminated Eligible Employee, shall become entitled to the payment of a Performance Stock Bonus for an Extended Performance Period. The Performance 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 closing price for the end of the Extended Performance Period for purposes of Section 4.3 above for the relative total shareholder return component of the payout, and actual performance as of the time of the Change of Control shall be used for purposes of non-relative total shareholder return component of the payout, and (iii) the Performance Stock Bonus Payout Factor for purposes of Section 4.3 above 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 Stock Bonus shall be paid out as follows: (A) the percentage of the Performance 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
vi




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 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 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 or of a substantial portion of the assets of Newmont, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) (a “409A CoC”), such percentage of the Performance Stock Bonus shall be so paid when the Performance Stock Bonus would otherwise have been paid in accordance with Article IV), and b) the percentage of the Performance 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 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 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 LDCC as constituted before the Change of Control shall determine in its discretion. The portion of the Performance 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’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.
VI. GENERAL PROVISIONS

6.2    Plan Unfunded. This compensation program shall be unfunded and no trust or other funding mechanism shall be established for this program. All benefits to be paid pursuant to this program shall be paid by Newmont or another Participating Employer from its respective general assets, and an eligible Employee or Terminated Eligible Employee (or their heir or devisee) shall not have any greater rights than a general, unsecured creditor against Newmont or another Participating Employer, as applicable, for any amounts payable hereunder.

6.3    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
vii




such eligible Employee or Terminated Eligible Employee to receive life insurance proceeds under Newmont’s life insurance plan, with the exception of Performance Stock Bonuses, which shall be paid from a timing perspective according to Section 4.4 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 their estate.

6.4    Reimbursement. The LDCC, to the full extent permitted by governing law, shall have the discretion to require reimbursement of any portion of a Performance Stock Bonus previously paid to an eligible Employee pursuant to the terms of this compensation program if: a) the amount of such Performance 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 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 Stock Bonus actually awarded, or; c) a reimbursement is permitted or required by any clawback standard adopted by Newmont, including a standard adopted after the effective date of this Program. The approach used to determine the amount of reimbursement will be based on commonly used valuation methodologies or those as supported or validated by an independent third party with expertise in related matters. Additionally, the LDCC, to the full extent permitted by governing law, shall have the discretion to require reimbursement of any portion of a Performance Stock Bonus previously paid to an eligible Employee pursuant to the terms of this compensation program if the eligible employee is terminated for Cause.
6.5    Withholding Taxes. All bonuses payable hereunder shall be subject to the withholding of such amounts as Newmont or a Participating Employer may determine is required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable federal, state or local law or regulation. The LDCC 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 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.
6.6    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 or as otherwise determined in the sole discretion of the LDCC. 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 2020 Stock Incentive Plan as well as this compensation program and thereby subject to the applicable terms and conditions of the 2020 Stock Incentive Compensation Plan.
6.7    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.
6.8    Right of Offset. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Newmont 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 or an Affiliated Entity. By accepting payments under this compensation program, all eligible Employees consent to the reduction of any compensation paid to the eligible Employee by Newmont or an Affiliated Entity to the extent the eligible Employee receives an overpayment from this compensation program.
6.9    Termination and Amendment. The Board may at any time amend, modify, suspend or terminate this compensation program; provided, however, that the LDCC may,
viii




consistent with its administrative powers, waive or adjust provisions of this compensation program as it determines necessary from time to time. The LDCC 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 their 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. Further, upon or following a Change of Control, Section V of this program may not be amended, suspended, or terminated until the obligations of Section V of this program have been fully satisfied with respect to such Change of Control.
6.10    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.
6.11    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, 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.
6.12    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.
6.13    Successors. This compensation program shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Newmont and eligible Employees and their respective heirs, representatives and successors.
6.14    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.
6.15    Section 409A. It is the intention of Newmont 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 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 in a manner consistent with such intent, as determined in the discretion of Newmont. None of Newmont 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.

PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

NOTICE OF GRANT AND AWARD AGREEMENT

You are eligible for Performance Leveraged Stock Units (“PSUs”) under the Newmont Corporation 2020 Stock Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), the terms of this Notice of Grant and Award Agreement, including any country specific terms and conditions set forth in any appendix hereto, and the applicable compensation program (Senior Executive Compensation Program for Grades E-1 to E-4 or Equity Bonus Program for Grades E-5 to E-6), (collectively “PSU Terms Agreement”). Subject to the provisions of the PSU Terms Agreement, the principle features of PSUs are as follows:
Target Grant Setting Date:            February 27, 2023
Target number of PSUs:    See your Reward and Recognition Statement or Fidelity account
Performance Period:    As defined in applicable compensation program document. Generally, time frame between the beginning and ending average closing prices (deemed to be three years with adjustments for administrative purposes)- February 27, 2023 – February 27 2026
Payout Determination:    Based upon Newmont Corporation relative total shareholder return (80%), executive female representation (10%), and scope 1 & 2 emission reduction project milestones (10%) over the performance period as provided in the applicable compensation program document. Payout will be made in the form of Company Common Stock.

Target Acknowledgement and Agreement:    You must acknowledge and accept this PSU Terms Agreement within 60 days of receipt of this PSU Terms Agreement to be eligible for payout of PSUs. The Grant Acknowledgment is set forth on the Fidelity online employee portal, and is incorporated by reference herein. The PSU Terms Agreement shall be deemed executed by Employee upon his or her electronic execution of the Grant Acknowledgment.


Separation of Employment Prior to
Expiration of the Performance Period:    You shall receive no vesting of PSUs, meaning no delivery of Common Stock, in the event of voluntary separation of employment. See the terms of the




applicable compensation program document for treatment of PSUs in the event of death, disability, involuntary termination without cause, retirement*, change of control and termination of employment following change of control.
*Retirement means at least age 55, and, at least 5 years of continuous employment with Newmont Corporation and/or a Subsidiary, and, a total of at least 65 when adding age plus years of employment.
Notwithstanding the provisions in the applicable compensation program document, if the Company or the Employer (as defined in Section 3 below) determines, in its sole discretion, that any provision in the compensation program document may be found to be unlawful, discriminatory or against public policy in any relevant jurisdiction, then the Company, in its sole discretion, may choose not to apply such provision to the PSUs.
All capitalized terms that are not defined herein shall have the meaning as defined in the Plan.
1.    Nontransferability.    Employee’s interest in the PSUs and any shares of Common Stock relating thereto may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, encumbered or otherwise alienated or hypothecated otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, prior to such time as the shares of Common Stock have actually been issued and delivered to Employee.
    2.    No Ownership Rights Prior to Issuance of Common Stock. Employee shall not have any rights as a stockholder of Newmont with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the PSUs, including but not limited to the right to vote with respect to such shares of Common Stock, until and after the shares of Common Stock have been issued to Employee and transferred on the books and records of Newmont.
3.    Withholding Taxes. Employee acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by Newmont or, if different, his or her employer (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to Employee's participation in the Plan and legally applicable to him or her (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains his or her responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by Newmont or the Employer. Employee further acknowledges that Newmont and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the PSU, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the PSU, the subsequent sale of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends and/or any dividend equivalents; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the PSU to reduce or eliminate his or her liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Employee is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, he or she acknowledges that Newmont and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Employee agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to Newmont and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.
In this regard, Employee authorizes Newmont or its agent to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by withholding a number of whole shares of Common Stock to be issued upon settlement of the PSU having a fair market value on
- 2 -



the applicable vesting date (or other applicable date on which the Tax-Related Items arise) not in excess of the amount of such Tax-Related Items. If Newmont determines in its discretion that withholding in shares of Common Stock is not permissible or advisable under applicable local law, Newmont may satisfy its obligations for Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:
(1)withholding from Employee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Employee by Newmont and/or the Employer; or
(2)withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon vesting/settlement of the PSUs either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged Newmont (on Employee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization).
Provided, however, that if Employee is a Section 16 officer of Newmont under the Exchange Act, then Newmont will withhold by deducting from the shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable to Employee in settlement of the PSUs a number of whole shares of Common Stock having a fair market value on the date that the withholding for the Tax-Related Items is determined not in excess of the amount of such Tax-Related Items, unless the use of such withholding method is problematic under applicable tax or securities law or has materially adverse accounting consequences, in which case, the obligation for Tax-Related Items will be satisfied pursuant to (b) above.
Newmont may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates in Employee’s jurisdiction(s), including maximum applicable rates to the extent permitted by the Plan, in which case Employee may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent in Common Stock. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Common Stock, for tax purposes, Employee is deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to the vested PSU, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Common Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
Finally, Employee agrees to pay to Newmont or the Employer, any amount of Tax-Related Items that Newmont or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of his or her participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. Newmont may refuse to issue or deliver the shares or the proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock, if Employee fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
4.    Acknowledgements.    Employee acknowledges receipt of and understands and agrees to the terms of the PSU Terms Agreement and the Plan. In addition, Employee understands and agrees to the following:
(i)Employee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the PSU Terms Agreement, the Plan and agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions thereof, including any terms and provisions of the Plan adopted after the date of the PSU Terms Agreement but prior to the completion of the Performance Period. If and to the extent that any provision contained in the PSU Terms Agreement is inconsistent with the Plan, the Plan shall govern. If and to the extent that any provision of the Notice of Grant is inconsistent with the applicable compensation program, the applicable compensation program shall govern.
(ii)Employee acknowledges that as of the date of the PSU Terms Agreement, the PSU Terms Agreement, the Grant Acknowledgement and the Plan set forth the entire
- 3 -



understanding between Employee and Newmont regarding the acquisition of shares of Common Stock underlying the PSUs in Newmont and supersedes all prior oral and written agreements pertaining to the PSUs.
(iii)Employee understands that Newmont has reserved the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time.
5.    Miscellaneous
(a)    No Right to Continued Employment. Neither the PSUs nor any terms contained in the PSU Terms Agreement shall confer upon Employee any expressed or implied right to be retained in the service of any Subsidiary for any period at all, nor restrict in any way the right of any such Subsidiary, which right is hereby expressly reserved, to terminate his or her employment at any time with or without cause. Employee acknowledges and agrees that any right to receive delivery of shares of Common Stock is earned only by continuing as an employee of a Subsidiary at the will of such Subsidiary, or satisfaction of any other applicable terms and conditions contained in the PSU Terms Agreement and the Plan, and not through the act of being hired, being granted the PSUs or acquiring shares of Common Stock under the PSU Terms Agreement.
(b)    Compliance with Laws and Regulations.    The award of the PSUs to Employee and the obligation of Newmont to deliver shares of Common Stock hereunder shall be subject to (i) all applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws, rules and regulations, and (ii) any registration, qualification, approvals or other requirements imposed by any government or regulatory agency or body which the Newmont Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary or applicable. Moreover, shares of Common Stock shall not be delivered hereunder if such delivery would be contrary to applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange.
(c)    Investment Representation. If at the time of delivery of shares of Common Stock, the Common Stock is not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and/or there is no current prospectus in effect under the Securities Act with respect to the Common Stock, Employee shall execute, prior to the delivery of any shares of Common Stock to Employee by Newmont, an agreement (in such form as the Newmont Committee may specify) in which Employee represents and warrants that Employee is purchasing or acquiring the shares acquired under the PSU Terms Agreement for Employee’s own account, for investment only and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof, and represents and agrees that any subsequent offer for sale or distribution of any kind of such shares shall be made only pursuant to either (i) a registration statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act, which registration statement has become effective and is current with regard to the shares being offered or sold, or (ii) a specific exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, but in claiming such exemption Employee shall, prior to any offer for sale of such shares, obtain a prior favorable written opinion, in form and substance satisfactory to the Newmont Committee, from counsel for or approved by the Newmont Committee, as to the applicability of such exemption thereto.
(d)    Severability.    If any of the provisions of the PSU Terms Agreement should be deemed unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
(e)    Governing Law. Except as to matters concerning the issuance of Common Stock or other matters of corporate governance, which shall be determined, and related PSU provisions construed, under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the PSU Terms Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or
- 4 -



interpretation of the PSU Terms Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction. The parties hereto submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal or state courts of Colorado to resolve any and all issues that may arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the Plan.
(f)    Transferability of PSU Terms Agreement. The PSU Terms Agreement may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated by either party hereto, other than by operation of law. The PSU Terms Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, including, in the case of Employee, his or her estate, heirs, executors, legatees, administrators, designated beneficiary and personal representatives. Nothing contained in this PSU Terms Agreement shall be deemed to prevent transfer of the PSUs in the event of Employee’s death in accordance with Section 12(b) of the Plan.
(g)    Specified Employee Delay. If Newmont determines that settlement of PSUs hereunder (i) constitutes a deferral of compensation for purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), (ii) is made to Employee by reason of his or her “separation from service” (within the meaning of Code Section 409A), and (iii) Employee is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Code Section 409A) at the time settlement would otherwise occur, transfers of Common Stock will be delayed until the first day of the seventh month following the date of such separation from service or, if earlier, on Employee’s death.
(8)No Advice Regarding Award. Newmont is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is Newmont making any recommendations regarding Employee’s participation in the Plan, or his or her acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of Common Stock. Employee should consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.
(9)Appendix. Notwithstanding any provisions in this PSU Terms Agreement, the Award shall be subject to any terms and conditions set forth in Appendix to this PSU Terms Agreement for Employee’s country. Moreover, if Employee relocates to one of the countries included in the Appendix, the terms and conditions for such country will apply to him or her, to the extent Newmont determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. The Appendix constitutes part of this PSU Terms Agreement.
(10)Imposition of Other Requirements. Newmont reserves the right to impose other requirements on Employee’s participation in the Plan, on the PSUs and on any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent Newmont determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require Employee to sign any additional PSU Terms Agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
(11)Modification. Notwithstanding any other provision of this PSU Terms Agreement to the contrary, the Committee may amend this PSU Terms Agreement to the extent it determines necessary or appropriate to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and the guidance thereunder and any such amendment shall be binding on Employee.
(12)Waiver. Employee acknowledges that a waiver by Newmont of breach of any provision of this PSU Terms Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any
- 5 -



other provision of this PSU Terms Agreement, or of any subsequent breach of this PSU Terms Agreement.
(13)Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. Newmont may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. Employee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by Newmont or a third party designated by Newmont.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, pursuant to Employee’s Grant Acknowledgement (including without limitation, the Terms and Conditions section hereof), incorporated herein by reference, and electronically executed by Employee, Employee agrees to the terms and conditions of the PSU Terms Agreement.

If Employee is a resident of a country other than the one in which he or she is currently residing and/or working, relocate to another country after the PSUs are granted, or are considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the terms and conditions of the PSUs contained herein may not be applicable to Employee, and Newmont shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall apply to him or her.
Notifications
This Appendix also includes information regarding certain issues of which Employee should be aware with respect to his or her participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of March 2023. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, Newmont strongly recommends that Employee not rely on the information in this Appendix as the only source of information relating to the consequences of his or her participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time that Employee’s PSUs vest or he or she sells shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan.
In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to Employee’s particular situation, and Newmont is not in a position to assure him or her of a particular result. Accordingly, Employee should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in his or her country may apply to his or her situation.
Finally, if Employee is a resident of a country other than the one in which he or she is currently residing and/or working, transfers employment after the PSUs are granted, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained herein may not apply to Employee.

(3)the PSUs should in no event be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for Newmont, the Employer or any Subsidiary.
(4)Employee further acknowledges and understands that Employee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary and that the PSUs and any future PSUs under the Plan are wholly discretionary in nature, the value of which do not form part of any normal or expected compensation for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any termination, severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, holiday pay, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar mandatory payments, other than to the extent required by local law.
(5)Employee acknowledges and understands that the future value of the shares of Common Stock acquired by Employee under the Plan is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty and that no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from the forfeiture of the PSUs or termination of the Plan or the diminution in value of any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan and Employee irrevocably releases Newmont and its Subsidiaries from any such claim that may arise.
(6)Employee acknowledges and understands the PSUs and the shares of Common Stock subject to the PSUs, and the income and value of the same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation.
(7)Employee acknowledges for the purposes of the PSUs, his or her employment will be considered terminated as of the date he or she is no longer actively providing services to Newmont, the Employer or any Subsidiary (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where he or she is employed or the terms of his or her employment PSU Terms Agreement, if any), and unless otherwise expressly provided in this PSU Terms Agreement or determined by Newmont, if any, will terminate as of such date and will not be extended by any

(8)Employee acknowledges and understands that unless otherwise agreed with Newmont, the PSUs and the shares of Common Stock subject to the PSUs, and the income and value of the same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with the service he or she may provide as a director of a Subsidiary of Newmont.
(9)Employee acknowledges and understands the PSUs and the share of Common Stock subject to the PSUs and the income and value of the same, are not part of normal or expected compensation salary for any purpose.
(10)Employee acknowledges and understands that neither Newmont, the Employer nor any other Affiliate of Newmont shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between his or her local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the PSU or of any amounts due to Employee pursuant to the settlement of the PSU or the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired upon settlement.
2.Data Privacy Information and Consent. Newmont headquarters is located at 6900 E. Layton Ave., Suite 700, Denver, Colorado 80237, U.S.A., and grants awards to employees of Newmont and its Subsidiaries, at Newmont’s sole discretion. If Employee would like to participate in the Plan, please review the following information about Newmont’s data processing practices and declare Employee’s consent.
(1)Data Collection and Usage. Newmont collects, processes and uses personal data of Employees, including name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any shares of Common Stock or directorships held in Newmont, and details of all awards or other entitlements to shares of Common Stock, granted, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Employee’s favor (“Data”), which Newmont receives from Employee or the Employer. In connection with the grant of the PSU, Newmont will collect Employee’s Data for purposes of administering Employee’s participation in the Plan. Newmont’s legal basis for the processing of Employee’s Data, where required, if Employee’s consent.
(2)Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. Newmont transfers Data to Fidelity Investments, an independent service provider based in the United States, which assists Newmont with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. In the future, Newmont may select a different service provider and share Employee’s Data with another company that serves in a similar manner. Newmont’s service provider will open an
- 9 -



account for Employee to receive shares of Common Stock. Employee may be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider, which is a condition to Employee’s ability to participate in the Plan.
(3)International Data Transfers. Newmont and its service providers are based in the United States. If Employee is outside the United States, Employee should note that his or her country has enacted data privacy laws that are different from the United States. Newmont’s legal basis for the transfer of Employee’s Data is his or her consent.
(4)Data Retention. Newmont will use Employee’s Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage Employee’s participation in the Plan or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax, exchange control, labor and security laws. This period may extend beyond Employee’s period or employment with the Employer. When Newmont or the Employer no longer need Data for any of the above purposes, they will cease processing it in this context and remove it from all of their systems used for such purposes to the fullest extent practicable.
(5)Voluntariness and Consequences of Denial or Withdrawal. Employee’s participation in the Plan and Employee’s grant of consent is purely voluntary. Employee may deny or withdraw his or her consent at any time. If Employee does not consent, or if Employee withdraws his or her consent, Employee cannot participate in the Plan. This would not affect Employee’s salary as an employee or his or her career; Employee would merely forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan.
(6)Data Subject Rights. Employee has a number of rights under data privacy laws in his or her country. Depending on where Employee is based, Employee’s rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of Data Newmont processes, (ii) rectification of incorrect Data, (iii) deletion of Data, (iv) restrict the processing of Data, (v) restrict the portability of Data, (vi) lodge complaints with the competent tax authorities in Employee’s country, and/or (vii) receive a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data.

Layton Ave., Suite 700, Denver, Colorado 80237, U.S.A., attention: Director of Compensation, Newmont Corporate.
If Employee agrees with the data processing practices as described in this notice, please declare Employee’s consent by clicking “Accept” on the Fidelity award acceptance page.

4.Insider-Trading/Market-Abuse Laws. Employee acknowledges that, depending on his or her country or broker’s country, or the country in which Common Stock is listed, he or she may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws in applicable jurisdictions, which may affect his or her ability to accept, acquire, sell or attempt to sell, or otherwise dispose of the shares of Common Stock, rights to shares of Common Stock (e.g., PSUs) or rights linked to the value of Common Stock, during such times as Employee is considered to have “inside information” regarding Newmont (as defined by the laws or regulations in applicable jurisdictions, including the United States and Employee’s country). Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders Employee placed before possessing inside information. Furthermore, Employee may be prohibited from (i) disclosing insider information to any third party, including fellow employees and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them to otherwise buy or sell securities. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Newmont insider trading policy. Employee acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and Employee should speak to his or her personal advisor on this matter.
5.Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Requirements. Employee acknowledges that there may be certain foreign asset and/or account reporting requirements which may affect his or her ability to acquire or hold the shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends paid on the shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan) in a brokerage or bank account outside his or her country. Employee may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in his or her country. Employee also may be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of participating in the Plan to his or her country through a designated bank or broker within a certain time after receipt. Employee acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to be compliant with such regulations, and he or she should speak to his or her personal advisor on this matter.
6.General. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Agreement, if Newmont or the Employer develops a good faith belief that any provision may be found to be unlawful, discriminatory or against public policy in any relevant jurisdiction, then Newmont in its sole discretion may choose not to apply such provision to the PSU, nor any PSU grant in Employee’s jurisdiction.

2.COUNTRY-SPECIFIC ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
ARGENTINA
Notifications
Securities Law Notification. Neither the PSUs nor the underlying shares of Common Stock are publicly offered or listed on any stock exchange in Argentina and, as a result, have not been and will not be registered with the Argentine Securities Commission (Comisión Nacional de Valores). The PSU Terms Agreement, this Appendix and any other offering material related to the PSUs, as well as the underlying shares of Common Stock, may not be used in connection with any general offering to the public in Argentina. Argentine residents who receive PSUs under the Plan do so according to the terms of a private offering made from outside Argentina.
Exchange Control Notification. It is Employee’s responsibility to comply with any and all Argentine currency exchange restrictions, approvals, and reporting requirements in connection with the PSUs.
Foreign Asset / Account Reporting Notification. If Employee is an Argentine tax resident, Employee must report any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan and held by Employee on December 31st of each year on his or her annual tax return for that year.
AUSTRALIA
Notifications
Securities Law Notification. The offer of PSUs is being made under Division 1A, Part 7.12 of the Australian Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). If Employee offers any shares of Common Stock for sale to a person or entity resident in Australia, the offer may be subject to disclosure requirements under Australian law (in addition to any requirements under the Plan and the Agreement). Employee should consult with Employee's personal legal advisor prior to making any such offer to ensure compliance with the applicable requirements.
Tax Information. The Plan is a plan to which Subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) applies (subject to the conditions in the Act).

Vesting/Termination. The following provision replaces Section 1(f) of Part A of this Appendix:
For purposes of the PSU Terms Agreement, except as otherwise provided for in the “Separation of Employment Prior to Expiration of the Performance Period” provision of the Notice of Grant of the PSU Terms Agreement, in the event Employee ceases his or her employment or service relationship with Newmont or Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of local labor laws), Employee’s right to vest in the PSUs will terminate as of the date that is the earliest of: (a) the date Employee's
- 12 -



employment with the Employer is terminated for any reason; and (b) the date Employee receives written notice of termination from the Employer; regardless of any period during which notice, pay in lieu of notice or related payments or damages are provided or required to be provided under local law. For greater certainty, Employee will not earn or be entitled to any pro-rated vesting for that portion of time before the date on which his or her right to vest terminates, nor will Employee be entitled to any compensation for lost vesting.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if applicable employment standards legislation explicitly requires continued vesting during a statutory notice period, Employee's right to vest in the PSUs, if any, will terminate effective upon the expiry of the minimum statutory notice period, but Employee will not earn or be entitled to pro-rated vesting if the vesting date falls after the end of the statutory notice period, nor will you be entitled to any compensation for lost vesting. In any event, if employment standards legislation explicitly requires continued vesting during a statutory notice period, then the additional vesting provided under the “Separation of Employment Prior to Expiration of the Performance Period” provision of the Notice of Grant of the PSU Terms Agreement is deemed to be inclusive of any entitlements that arise during the applicable statutory notice period.
The following provisions apply if Employee is a resident of Quebec:
    French Language Documents. A French translation of certain documents related to the Plan will be made available to Employee as soon as reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3 of Part A of this Appendix, to the extent required by applicable law and unless Employee indicates otherwise, the French translation of such documents will govern Employee's participation in the Plan.

Documents en Langue Française. Une traduction française de certains documents relatifs au Plan sera mise à la disposition du Employee dès que cela sera raisonnablement possible.  Nonobstant les dispositions de l'article 3 de la Partie A de la présente Annexe, dans la mesure requise par la loi applicable et à moins que l'Employee n'indique le contraire, la traduction française de ces documents régira la participation du Employee au Plan.
Data Privacy. The following provision supplements Section 2 of Part A of this Appendix:
Employee hereby authorizes Newmont and its representatives to discuss with and obtain all relevant information from all personnel, professional or not, involved in the administration and operation of the Plan. Employee further authorizes Newmont, any parent or Subsidiary of Newmont, and any stock plan service provider that may be selected by Newmont to assist with the Plan to disclose and discuss the Plan with their respective advisors. Employee further authorizes Newmont and any parent or Subsidiary of Newmont to record such information and to keep such information in Employee’s employee file.

Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. Canadian residents are required to report foreign specified property, including shares of Common Stock and rights to receive shares of Common Stock (e.g., PSUs), on form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of the foreign specified property exceeds C$100,000 at any time during the year. PSUs
- 13 -



must be reported (generally, at a nil cost) if the C$100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because of other foreign specified property held by Employee. When shares of Common Stock are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the shares of Common Stock. The ACB would ordinarily equal the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock at the time of acquisition, but if Employee owns other shares of Common Stock, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares of Common Stock.

Employee acknowledges further that he or she accepts all the provisions of the Plan, the Grant Acknowledgement, and the PSU Terms Agreement, including this Appendix. Employee also acknowledges that he or she has read and specifically and expressly approves the terms and conditions set forth in Section 1 (“Nature of Grant”) in this Appendix, which clearly provides as follows:

Labor Law Policy and Acknowledgment. By accepting the PSUs, Employee expressly recognizes that Newmont, with registered offices at 6900 E. Layton Ave., Suite 700, Denver, Colorado 80237, U.S.A., is solely responsible for the administration of the Plan and that Employee’s participation in the Plan and acquisition of shares of Common Stock do not constitute an employment relationship between Employee and Newmont since Employee is participating in the Plan on a wholly commercial basis and his or her sole employer is Newmont’s Subsidiary in Mexico (“Newmont Mexico”). Based on the foregoing, Employee expressly recognizes that the Plan and the benefits that he or she may derive from participating in the Plan do not establish any rights between Employee and the employer, Newmont Mexico, and do not form part of the employment conditions and/or benefits provided by Newmont Mexico, and any modification of the Plan or its termination shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of Employee’s employment.
Employee further understands that his or her participation in the Plan is as a result of a unilateral and discretionary decision of Newmont; therefore, Newmont reserves the absolute right to amend and/or discontinue Employee’s participation at any time without any liability to Employee.
Finally, Employee hereby declares that he or she does not reserve to him- or herself any action or right to bring any claim against Newmont for any compensation or damages regarding any provision of the Plan or the benefits derived under the Plan, and Employee therefore grants a full and broad release to Newmont, and its subsidiaries, branches, representative offices, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, or legal representatives with respect to any claim that may arise.

NEWMONT CORPORATION
2020 STOCK INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
This Agreement, including any country-specific terms and conditions set forth in any appendix hereto (the “Agreement”), dated February 27, 2023, is made between Newmont Corporation (“Newmont”) and “Employee,” as specified in his or her Grant Summary and Grant Acknowledgment (collectively, the “Grant Acknowledgment”). The Grant Acknowledgment is set forth on the Fidelity online employee portal.
The Grant Acknowledgment is incorporated by reference herein. This Agreement shall be deemed executed by Employee upon his or her electronic execution of the Grant Acknowledgment. All capitalized terms that are not defined herein shall have the meaning as defined in the Newmont Corporation 2020 Stock Incentive Compensation Plan (“Plan”).
1.Award of Restricted Stock Units. Newmont hereby grants to Employee the right to receive from Newmont the number of Restricted Stock Units (the “RSUs”) specified in the Grant Acknowledgment, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan. Each RSU granted represents an unfunded right to receive one share of Newmont Common Stock, subject to the conditions and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan.
2.Vesting Period. The RSUs will vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth below, provided Employee remains employed by Newmont or one of its Subsidiaries through each vesting date, or unless otherwise provided in this Agreement:
Vesting Period         Percentage Vested
February 27, 2024            33%
February 27, 2025            33%
February 27, 2025            34%
    
3.Termination. Notwithstanding Section 2 above, the RSUs will vest as stated below in the specific circumstances:
a.Termination of Employment for death, disability, and following change of control. If (i) Employee dies, or (ii) Employee’s employment with Newmont or any Subsidiary terminates by reason of (a) disability (as determined under the terms of the Long-Term Disability Plan of Newmont), or (b) termination of employment entitling Employee to benefits under the Executive Change of Control Plan of Newmont or the Change of Control Plan of Newmont, the outstanding RSUs subject to this Agreement shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable, as of the date of Employee’s death or other termination of employment, referred to in clause (ii) above.
b.Termination of Employment under a Severance Plan of Newmont. If Employee terminates employment with Newmont or any Subsidiary and is entitled to: (i) separation benefits under the Severance Plan of Newmont or the Executive Severance Plan of Newmont, or; (ii) separation benefits for any involuntary termination, other than for Cause (as defined below), for Employees not eligible for benefits under the Severance Plan of Newmont or the Executive Severance Plan of Newmont, a pro-rata percentage of the RSUs will
407565183-v2\NA_DMS


vest as of the date of Employee’s employment termination in accordance with the following formula, and the remaining RSUs will be forfeited:
RSUs
vested =
Total RSUs Covered by This AgreementXDays Elapsed From Date of Grant to Date of Termination of Employment-Prior
Vestings
1096

If Employee is entitled to separation benefits as contemplated in clauses (i) or (ii) above in this Section 3.B, and is also retirement eligible as defined in Section 3.C below, the RSUs shall vest in accordance with this Section 3.B and not 3.C below.
“Cause” is defined as: 1) engagement in illegal conduct or gross negligence or willful misconduct, provided that if the Employee acted in accordance with an authorized written opinion of Newmont’s, or an affiliated entity’s, legal counsel, such action will not constitute “Cause;” 2) any dishonest or fraudulent activity by the Employee or the reasonable belief by Newmont or an affiliated entity of the Employee’s breach of any contract, agreement or representation with the Newmont or an affiliated entity, or 3) violation, or Newmont or an affiliated entities’ belief of Employee’s violation of Newmont Corporation’s Code of Conduct and underlying policies and standards.
c.Retirement. If Employee terminates employment with Newmont or any Subsidiary due to retirement, defined as: (1) at least age 55, (2) at least 5 years of continuous employment with Newmont and/or a Subsidiary, and (3) a total of at least 65 when adding age plus years of continuous employment, the RSUs shall vest as follows.
(i)If Employee retires within 365 days from the date of grant, a pro-rata percentage of the RSUs will vest as of the date of Employee’s employment termination in accordance with the following formula, and the remaining RSUs will be forfeited:
RSUs
vested =
Total RSUs Covered by This AgreementXDays Elapsed From Date of Grant to Date of Termination of Employment-Prior
Vestings

(ii)If Employee retires more than 365 days after the date of grant, the RSUs will continue to vest in accordance with the schedule set forth in Section 2 above, despite separation of employment.
- 2 -


d.Other Terminations. If Employee terminates employment with Newmont or any Subsidiary under circumstances other than those set forth above in Sections 3.A through 3.C, Employee agrees that any unvested RSUs will be immediately and unconditionally forfeited without any action required by Employee or Newmont as of the date of such termination of employment. For the avoidance of doubt, if Employee terminates employment with Newmont or any Subsidiary during only a period prior to a vesting date (but where employment has terminated prior to the vesting date) does not entitle Employee to vest in a pro-rata portion of the RSUs on such date.
e.Discretion to Apply Termination Vesting Provisions. Notwithstanding the provisions in this Section 3, if the Company or, if different, the Employer (as defined in Section 5 below), determines, in its sole discretion, that any provision in this Section 3 may be found to be unlawful, discriminatory or against public policy in any relevant jurisdiction, then the Company, in its sole discretion, may choose not to apply such provision to the RSUs.
4.No Ownership Rights Prior to Issuance of Common Stock. Employee shall not have any rights as a stockholder of Newmont with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs, including but not limited to the right to vote with respect to such shares of Common Stock, until and after the shares of Common Stock have been issued to Employee and transferred on the books and records of Newmont; provided, however, at the time that the Shares are delivered to Employee in settlement of the vested RSUs, Newmont shall make a cash payment to Employee equal to any dividends paid with respect to shares of Common Stock underlying such RSUs from the date of grant of the RSUs until the date such RSUs vest, minus any applicable Tax-Related Items (as defined in Section 5 below).
5.Withholding Taxes. Employee acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by Newmont or, if different, his or her employer (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to Employee's participation in the Plan and legally applicable or deemed by Newmont or the Employer, in its discretion, to be an appropriate charge to Employee even if legally applicable to Newmont or the Employer (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains his or her responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by Newmont or the Employer. Employee further acknowledges that Newmont and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the RSU, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the RSU, the subsequent sale of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends and/or any dividend equivalents; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the RSU to reduce or eliminate his or her liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Employee is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, he or she acknowledges that Newmont and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
In connection with the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Employee agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to Newmont and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.
In this regard, Employee authorizes Newmont or its agent to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by withholding a number of whole shares of Common Stock to be issued upon settlement of the RSU having a fair market value on the applicable vesting date (or other
- 3 -


applicable date on which the Tax-Related Items arise) not in excess of the amount of such Tax-Related Items. If Newmont determines in its discretion that withholding in shares of Common Stock is not permissible or advisable under applicable local law, Newmont may satisfy its obligations for Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:
(1)withholding from Employee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Employee by Newmont and/or the Employer; or
(2)withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon vesting/settlement of the RSUs either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged Newmont (on Employee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization).
Provided, however, that if Employee is a Section 16 officer of Newmont under the Exchange Act, then Newmont will withhold by deducting from the shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable to Employee in settlement of the RSUs a number of whole shares of Common Stock having a fair market value on the date that the withholding for the Tax-Related Items is determined) not in excess of the amount of such Tax-Related Items, unless the use of such withholding method is problematic under applicable tax or securities law or has materially adverse accounting consequences, in which case, the obligation for Tax-Related Items will be satisfied pursuant to (b) above.
Newmont may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates in Employee’s jurisdiction(s), including maximum applicable rates to the extent permitted by the Plan, in which case Employee may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent in Common Stock. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Common Stock, for tax purposes, Employee is deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to the vested RSU, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Common Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5 to the contrary, to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A of the Code, if shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs will be withheld (or sold on Employee’s behalf) to satisfy any Tax-Related Items arising prior to the date of settlement of the RSUs for any portion of the RSUs that is considered nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A, then the number of shares of Common Stock withheld (or sold on Employee’s behalf) shall not exceed the number of shares of Common Stock that equals the liability for the Tax-Related Items.
Finally, Employee agrees to pay to Newmont or the Employer, any amount of Tax-Related Items that Newmont or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of his or her participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. Newmont may refuse to issue or deliver the shares or the proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock, if Employee fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
6.Delivery of Shares of Common Stock. As soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within 30 days, following the date of vesting pursuant to Section 2 or 3, subject to Section 9(i), Newmont shall cause to be delivered to Employee a stock certificate or electronically deliver shares through a direct registration system for the number of shares of Common Stock (net of tax withholding as provided in Section 5) deliverable to Employee in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that for non-Section 16
- 4 -


officers of Newmont under the Exchange Act, Newmont may allow Employee to elect to have shares of Common Stock, which are deliverable in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement upon vesting (or a portion of such shares at least sufficient to satisfy Employee’s tax withholding obligations with respect to such Common Stock), sold on behalf of Employee, with the cash proceeds thereof, net of tax withholding, remitted to Employee, in lieu of Employee receiving a stock certificate or electronic delivery of shares in a direct registration system.
7.Nontransferability. Employee’s interest in the RSUs and any shares of Common Stock relating thereto may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, encumbered or otherwise alienated or hypothecated otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, prior to such time as the shares of Common Stock have actually been issued and delivered to Employee.
8.Acknowledgements. Employee acknowledges receipt of and understands and agrees to the terms of the RSUs award and the Plan. In addition to the above terms, Employee understands and agrees to the following:
(1)Employee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions thereof, including the terms and provisions adopted after the date of this Agreement but prior to the completion of the Vesting Period. If and to the extent that any provision contained in this Agreement is inconsistent with the Plan, the Plan shall govern.
(2)Employee acknowledges that as of the date of this Agreement, the Agreement, the Grant Acknowledgement and the Plan set forth the entire understanding between Employee and Newmont regarding the acquisition of shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs in Newmont and supersedes all prior oral and written agreements pertaining to the RSUs.
(3)Employee understands that Newmont has reserved the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time.
9.Miscellaneous
(1)No Right to Continued Employment. Neither the RSUs nor any terms contained in this Agreement shall confer upon Employee any expressed or implied right to be retained in the service of any Subsidiary for any period at all, nor restrict in any way the right of any such Subsidiary, which right is hereby expressly reserved, to terminate his or her employment at any time with or without cause. Employee acknowledges and agrees that any right to receive delivery of shares of Common Stock is earned only by continuing as an employee of a Subsidiary at the will of such Subsidiary, or satisfaction of any other applicable terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and the Plan, and not through the act of being hired, being granted the RSUs or acquiring shares of Common Stock hereunder.
(2)Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The award of the RSUs to Employee and the obligation of Newmont to deliver shares of Common Stock hereunder shall be subject to (i) all applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws, rules and regulations, and (ii) any registration, qualification, approvals or other requirements imposed by any government or regulatory agency or body which the Newmont Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary or applicable. Moreover, shares of Common Stock shall not be delivered hereunder if such delivery would be contrary to applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange.
- 5 -


(3)Investment Representation. If at the time of delivery of shares of Common Stock, the Common Stock is not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and/or there is no current prospectus in effect under the Securities Act with respect to the Common Stock, Employee shall execute, prior to the delivery of any shares of Common Stock to Employee by Newmont, an agreement (in such form as the Newmont Committee may specify) in which Employee represents and warrants that Employee is purchasing or acquiring the shares acquired under this Agreement for Employee’s own account, for investment only and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof, and represents and agrees that any subsequent offer for sale or distribution of any kind of such shares shall be made only pursuant to either (i) a registration statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act, which registration statement has become effective and is current with regard to the shares being offered or sold, or (ii) a specific exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, but in claiming such exemption Employee shall, prior to any offer for sale of such shares, obtain a prior favorable written opinion, in form and substance satisfactory to the Newmont Committee, from counsel for or approved by the Newmont Committee, as to the applicability of such exemption thereto.
(4)Definitions. All capitalized terms that are used in this Agreement that are not defined herein have the meanings defined in the Plan. In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Plan and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall prevail.
(5)Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted hereunder shall, if to Newmont, be in accordance with the Plan, and, if to Employee, be in writing and delivered in person or by registered or certified mail or overnight courier, postage prepaid, addressed to Employee at his or her last known address as set forth in Newmont’s records.
(6)Severability. If any of the provisions of this Agreement should be deemed unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
(7)Governing Law. Except as to matters concerning the issuance of Common Stock or other matters of corporate governance, which shall be determined, and related RSUs provisions construed, under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction. The parties hereto submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal or state courts of Colorado to resolve any and all issues that may arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the Plan.
(8)Transferability of Agreement. This Agreement may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated by either party hereto, other than by operation of law. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, including, in the case of Employee, his or her estate, heirs, executors, legatees, administrators, designated beneficiary and personal representatives. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to prevent transfer of the RSUs in the event of Employee’s death in accordance with Section 12(b) of the Plan.
(9)Section 409A Requirements. For purposes of complying with Section 409A of the Code, if the RSUs constitute non-qualified deferred compensation, Employee is a U.S. taxpayer and the RSUs are to be settled at a time that is by reference to a termination of Employee’s employment, the Employer and Employee shall take all steps necessary (including with regard to any post-termination services by Employee) to ensure that
- 6 -


a termination contemplated under Section 3 constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Further, if and the foregoing sentence applies and Employee is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Code Section 409A) at the time settlement would otherwise occur, settlement of the RSUs and any related dividend payments will be delayed until the first day of the seventh month following the date of such separation from service or, if earlier, until Employee’s death.
(10)No Advice Regarding Award. Newmont is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is Newmont making any recommendations regarding Employee’s participation in the Plan, or his or her acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of Common Stock. Employee should consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.
(11)Appendix. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement, the Award shall be subject to any terms and conditions set forth in Appendix to this Agreement for Employee’s country. Moreover, if Employee relocates to one of the countries included in the Appendix, the terms and conditions for such country will apply to him or her, to the extent Newmont determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. The Appendix constitutes part of this Agreement.
(12)Imposition of Other Requirements. Newmont reserves the right to impose other requirements on Employee’s participation in the Plan, on the RSUs and on any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent Newmont determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require Employee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
(13)Modification. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Committee may amend this Agreement to the extent it determines necessary or appropriate to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and the guidance thereunder and any such amendment shall be binding on Employee.
(14)Waiver. Employee acknowledges that a waiver by Newmont of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach of this Agreement.
(15)Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. Newmont may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. Employee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by Newmont or a third party designated by Newmont.

The country-specific terms and conditions in Part B will also apply to Employee if he or she resides in one of the countries listed below.
Terms and Conditions
This Appendix includes additional country-specific terms and conditions that govern Employee’s RSUs if he or she resides and/or works in one of the countries listed herein.
If Employee is a resident of a country other than the one in which he or she is currently residing and/or working, relocate to another country after the RSUs are granted, or are considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the terms and conditions of the RSUs contained herein may not be applicable to Employee, and Newmont shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall apply to him or her.
Notifications
This Appendix also includes information regarding certain issues of which Employee should be aware with respect to his or her participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of March 2023. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, Employee should not rely on the information in this Appendix as the only source of information relating to the consequences of his or her participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time that Employee’s RSUs vest or he or she sells shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan.
In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to Employee’s particular situation, and Newmont is not in a position to assure him or her of a particular result. Accordingly, Employee should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in his or her country may apply to his or her situation.
Finally, if Employee is a resident of a country other than the one in which he or she is currently residing and/or working, transfers employment after the RSUs are granted, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained herein may not apply to Employee.

5.Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Requirements. Employee acknowledges that there may be certain foreign asset and/or account reporting requirements which may affect his or her ability to acquire or hold the

Employee acknowledges further that he or she accepts all the provisions of the Plan, the Grant Acknowledgement, and the Agreement, including this Appendix. Employee also acknowledges that he or she has read and specifically and expressly approves the terms and conditions set forth in Section 1 (“Nature of Grant”) in this Appendix, which clearly provides as follows:

Labor Law Policy and Acknowledgment. By accepting the RSUs, Employee expressly recognizes that Newmont, with registered offices at 6900 E. Layton Ave., Suite 700, Denver, Colorado 80237, U.S.A., is solely responsible for the administration of the Plan and that Employee’s participation in the Plan and acquisition of shares of Common Stock do not constitute an employment relationship between Employee and Newmont since Employee is participating in the Plan on a wholly commercial basis and his or her sole employer is Newmont’s Subsidiary in Mexico (“Newmont Mexico”). Based on the foregoing, Employee expressly recognizes that the Plan and the benefits that he or she may derive from participating in the Plan do not establish any rights between Employee and the employer, Newmont Mexico, and do not form part of the employment conditions and/or benefits provided by Newmont Mexico, and any modification of the Plan or its termination shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of Employee’s employment.
Employee further understands that his or her participation in the Plan is as a result of a unilateral and discretionary decision of Newmont; therefore, Newmont reserves the absolute right to amend and/or discontinue Employee’s participation at any time without any liability to Employee.
Finally, Employee hereby declares that he or she does not reserve to him- or herself any action or right to bring any claim against Newmont for any compensation or damages regarding any provision of the Plan or the benefits derived under the Plan, and Employee therefore grants a full and broad release to Newmont, and its subsidiaries, branches, representative offices, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, or legal representatives with respect to any claim that may arise.

EXHIBIT 10.5

NEWMONT CORPORATION
2020 STOCK INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN
GLOBAL 2023 DIRECTOR RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
This Director Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, including any country specific terms and conditions set forth in any appendix hereto (“Agreement”), is dated as of April 28, 2023, between Newmont Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Newmont”), and Director.
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Director is a director of Newmont; and
WHEREAS, in recognition of the Director’s service as a director of Newmont rendered and to be rendered during the 2023 calendar year, the Board of Directors, the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee and the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee (“Newmont Committee”) has awarded Director, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and those of the Newmont Corporation 2020 Stock Incentive Compensation Plan (“Plan”), the number of Director Restricted Stock Units (“DSUs”) specified below. Each DSU represents a right to receive a share of Newmont Common Stock (“Common Stock”) (rounded down to the nearest whole share), subject to the conditions and restrictions set for in this Agreement and the Plan. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given such terms in the Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, Newmont hereby documents such award to Director of ___ DSUs and, in connection with such award, Newmont and Director hereby agree as follows:
AGREEMENT:
1.Immediate Vesting. The DSUs are immediately fully vested and nonforfeitable.
2.No Ownership Rights Prior to Issuance of Common Stock. Director shall not have any rights as a stockholder of Newmont with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the DSUs, including but not limited to the right to vote with respect to such shares of Common Stock, until and after such shares of Common Stock have been actually issued to Director and transferred on the books and records of Newmont; provided, however, that each DSU shall accrue Dividend Equivalents during the period from the date of this Agreement until the date such shares are delivered in accordance with Section 3, payable in cash at the time specified in Section 3 below.
3.Delivery of Shares of Common Stock. Within thirty (30) days following the date of Director’s retirement from the Board, Newmont shall cause to be delivered to Director the full number of shares of Common Stock underlying the DSUs, together with all accrued Dividend Equivalents, subject to satisfaction of any applicable tax withholding pursuant to Section 5 hereof and Section 16 of the Plan. For purposes of this Agreement, “retirement” from the Board means separation from service (as a director, employee and all other service provider relationships) with Newmont and the Affiliates under any circumstances, including due to death For the avoidance of doubt, a separation from service must meet the requirements of a

407565184-v2\NA_DMS


“separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code if Director is a U.S. taxpayer.
4.Nature of Grant. Director acknowledges receipt of and understands and agrees to the terms of the DSUs awarded hereunder and the Plan. In addition to the above terms, Director understands and agrees to the following:
(i)Director hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions thereof, including the terms and provisions adopted after the date of this Agreement but prior to the distribution of Common Stock underlying the DSUs. If and to the extent that any provision contained in this Agreement is inconsistent with the Plan, the Plan shall govern.
(ii)Director acknowledges that this Agreement and the Plan set forth the entire understanding between Director and Newmont regarding the DSUs and the shares of Common Stock underlying the DSUs and supersedes any prior oral and written agreements pertaining to the DSUs and/or such shares.
(iii)The Plan is established voluntarily by Newmont, it is discretionary in nature, and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by Newmont at any time as set forth in the Plan.
(iv)All decisions with respect to future DSU grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of Newmont.
(v)Director acknowledges that the Director’s acceptance of the DSUs, including the terms and conditions herein, is voluntary.
(vi)The future value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty.
(vii)Director acknowledges and understands the DSU grant and Director’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to employment or service or be interpreted as forming or amending an employment or service contract with Newmont or any Affiliate.
(viii)The DSUs and the shares of Common Stock subject to the DSUs, and the income and value of same, are not intended to replace pension rights, if any.
(ix)For Directors who reside outside the U.S., Director acknowledges and agrees that neither Newmont, nor any Affiliate shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between Director’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the DSUs or of any amounts due to Director pursuant to the vesting of the DSUs or the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired at vesting.
5.Withholding Taxes. Director acknowledges that, regardless of any action Newmont takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, fringe benefits tax, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to Director’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Director (“Tax-Related Items”), the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains Director’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by Newmont, if any. Director further acknowledges that Newmont (i) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the DSUs, including, without limitation, the grant, vesting or settlement of the DSUs, the issuance of Shares, the subsequent sale of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to such issuance, and the receipt of any dividends and/or Dividend Equivalents; and (ii) does not
- 2 -



commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the DSUs to reduce or eliminate Director’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, Director acknowledges that if Director is subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, Newmont may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Director agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to Newmont to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, Director authorizes Newmont or its agent to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by withholding in shares of Common Stock to be issued upon settlement of the DSU. In the event that such withholding in shares of Common Stock is problematic under applicable tax or securities law or has materially adverse accounting consequences, by Director’s acceptance of the DSU, he or she authorizes and directs Newmont to withhold from his or her wages or other cash compensation paid to Director by Newmont to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations for Tax-Related Items.
Newmont may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates in Director’s jurisdiction(s), including maximum applicable rates to the extent permitted by the Plan, in which case Director may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent in Common Stock. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Common Stock, for tax purposes, Director is deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to the vested DSU, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Common Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
Finally, Director agrees to pay to Newmont, including through withholding from cash compensation paid to him or her by Newmont, any amount of Tax-Related Items that Newmont may be required to withhold or account for as a result of his or her participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. Newmont may refuse to issue or deliver the shares or the proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock, if Director fails to comply with any obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
6.Privacy Information and Consent. Newmont headquarters is located at 6900 E. Layton Ave., Suite 700, Denver, Colorado 80237 U.S.A., and grants awards to employees of Newmont and its Subsidiaries, at Newmont’s sole discretion. If Director would like to participate in the Plan, please review the following information about Newmont’s data processing practices and declare Director’s consent.
(a)Data Collection and Usage. Newmont collects, processes and uses personal data of Directors, including name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any shares of Common Stock or directorships held in Newmont, and details of all awards or other entitlements to shares of Common Stock, granted, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Director’s favor, which Newmont receives from Director. If Newmont offers Director an award under the Plan, then Newmont will collect Director’s personal data for purposes of allocating stock and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. Newmont’s legal basis for the processing of Director’s personal data would be his or her consent.
- 3 -



(b)Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. Newmont transfers data to Fidelity Investments, an independent service provider based in the United States, which assists Newmont with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. In the future, Newmont may select a different service provider and share Director’s data with another company that serves in a similar manner. Newmont’s service provider will open an account for Director to receive shares of Common Stock. Director will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider, which is a condition to Director’s ability to participate in the Plan.
(c)International Data Transfers. Newmont and its service providers are based in the United States. If Director is outside the United States, Director should note that his or her country has enacted data privacy laws that are different from the United States. Newmont’s legal basis for the transfer of Director’s personal data is his or her consent.
(d)Data Retention. Newmont will use Director’s data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage Director’s participation in the Plan or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and security laws. When Newmont no longer needs Director’s personal data, which will generally be seven (7) years after Director is granted awards under the Plan, Newmont will remove it from its systems. If Newmont keeps the data longer, it would be to satisfy legal or regulatory obligations and Newmont’s legal basis would be relevant laws or regulations.
(e)Voluntariness and Consequences of Denial or Withdrawal. Director’s participation in the Plan and Director’s grant of consent is purely voluntary. Director may deny or withdraw his or her consent at any time. If Director does not consent, or if Director withdraws his or her consent, Director cannot participate in the Plan. This would not affect Director’s career; Director would merely forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan.
(f)Data Subject Rights. Director has a number of rights under data privacy laws in his or her country. Depending on where Director is based, Director’s rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of personal data Newmont processes, (ii) rectification of incorrect data, (iii) deletion of data, (iv) restrictions on processing, (v) portability of data, (vi) to lodge complaints with the competent tax authorities in Director’s country, and/or (vii) a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Director’s personal data. To receive clarification regarding Director’s rights or to exercise Director’s rights please contact Newmont at Newmont Corporation, 6900 E. Layton Ave., Suite 700, Denver, Colorado 80237 U.S.A., attention: Director of Compensation, Newmont Corporate.
If Director agrees with the data processing practices as described in this notice, please declare Director’s consent by clicking “Accept” on the online award acceptance page.
7.Miscellaneous
(a)No Right to Continued Service. Neither the DSUs nor any terms contained in this Agreement shall confer upon Director any express or implied right to be
- 4 -



retained in the service of Newmont or any Affiliate for any period at all, nor restrict in any way the right of Newmont or any Affiliate, which right is hereby expressly reserved, to terminate his or her service at any time with or without cause, subject to applicable law and the applicable provisions of Newmont’s Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws.
(b)Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The award of the DSUs to Director and the obligation of Newmont to deliver shares of Common Stock hereunder shall be subject to (a) all applicable federal, state, local and non-United States laws, rules and regulations, and (b) any registration, qualification, approvals or other requirements imposed by any government or regulatory agency or body which the Newmont Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary or applicable. Moreover, shares of Common Stock shall not be delivered hereunder if such delivery would be contrary to applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange.
(c)Investment Representation. If at the time of delivery of shares of Common Stock, the Common Stock is not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and/or there is no current prospectus in effect under the Securities Act with respect to the Common Stock, Director shall, if requested by the Newmont Committee, execute, prior to the delivery of any shares of Common Stock to Director by Newmont, an agreement (in such form as the Newmont Committee may specify) in which Director represents and warrants that Director is purchasing or acquiring the shares acquired under this Agreement for Director’s own account, for investment only and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof, and represents and agrees that any subsequent offer for sale or distribution of any kind of such shares shall be made only pursuant to either (i) a registration statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act, which registration statement has become effective and is current with regard to the shares being offered or sold, or (ii) a specific exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, but in claiming such exemption Director shall, prior to any offer for sale of such shares, obtain a prior favorable written opinion, in form and substance satisfactory to the Newmont Committee, from counsel for or approved by the Newmont Committee, as to the applicability of such exemption thereto.
(d)Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted hereunder shall, if to Newmont, be in accordance with the Plan, and, if to Director, be in writing and delivered in person or by registered or certified mail or overnight courier, postage prepaid, addressed to Director at his or her last known address as set forth in Newmont’s records or by such other means as set forth under Section 7(l) herein.
(e)Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more of the provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.
(f)Governing Law and Venue. Except as to matters concerning the issuance of Common Stock or other matters of corporate governance, which shall be determined, and related DSU provisions construed, under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction. The parties hereto submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal or state courts of Colorado to resolve any and all issues that may arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the Plan.
(g)Transferability of DSUs / Agreement.

- 5 -



assigns, including, in the case of Director, his or her estate, heirs, executors, legatees, administrators, designated beneficiary and personal representatives. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to prevent transfer of the DSUs in the event of Director’s death in accordance with Section 12(b) of the Plan.
(h)No Advice Regarding Award. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding Director’s participation in the Plan, or his or her acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of Common Stock. Director should consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.
(i)Appendix A. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement, the DSU shall be subject to any terms and conditions set forth in Appendix A to this Agreement for Director’s country. Moreover, if Director relocates to one of the countries included in the Appendices, the terms and conditions for such country will apply to him or her, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. Appendix A constitutes part of this Agreement.
(j)Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on Director’s participation in the Plan, on the DSUs and on any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require Director to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
(k)Language. Director acknowledges that he or she is sufficiently proficient in English, or, alternatively, Director acknowledges that he or she will seek appropriate assistance, to understand the terms and conditions in this Agreement. Furthermore, if Director received this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated versions is different than the English version, the English version will control.
(l)Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. Newmont may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. Director hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by Newmont or a third party designated by Newmont.
(m)Waiver. Director acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach of this Agreement.
(n)Insider-Trading/Market-Abuse Laws. Director acknowledges that, depending on his or her country or broker’s country, or the country in which Common Stock is listed, he or she may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws in applicable jurisdictions, which may affect his or her ability to accept, acquire, sell or attempt to sell, or otherwise dispose of the shares of Common Stock, rights to shares of Common Stock (e.g., DSUs) or rights linked to the value of Common Stock, during such times as Director is considered to have “inside information” regarding Newmont (as defined by the laws or regulations in applicable jurisdictions, including the United States and Director’s country). Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders Director placed before possessing inside information. Furthermore, Director may be prohibited from (i) disclosing insider information to any third party, including fellow directors (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them to otherwise buy or sell securities. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition
- 6 -



to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Newmont insider trading policy (such as Newmont’s Stock Trading Standard). Director is responsible for complying with any applicable restrictions, so he or she should speak to his or her personal legal advisor for further details regarding any applicable insider-trading and/or market-abuse laws in his or her country.
(o)Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Requirements. Director acknowledges that there may be certain foreign asset and/or account reporting requirements which may affect his or her ability to acquire or hold the shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends paid on the shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan) in a brokerage or bank account outside his or her country. Director may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in his or her country. Director also may be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of participating in the Plan to his or her country through a designated bank or broker within a certain time after receipt. Director acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to be compliant with such regulations, and he or she should speak to his or her personal advisor on this matter.

APPENDIX A
NEWMONT CORPORATION
2020 STOCK INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN
GLOBAL 2023 DIRECTOR STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
Unless otherwise provided below, capitalized terms used but not explicitly defined in this Appendix A shall have the same definitions as in the Plan and/or the Agreement (as applicable).
Terms and Conditions
This Appendix A includes additional country-specific terms and conditions that govern Director’s DSUs if he or she resides and/or works in one of the countries listed herein.
If Director is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which he or she is currently residing and/or working, relocates to another country after the DSUs are granted, or are considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the terms and conditions of the DSUs contained herein may not be applicable to Director, and the Company shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall apply to him or her.
Notifications
This Appendix A also includes information regarding certain issues of which Director should be aware with respect to his or her participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of March 2023. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that Director not rely on the information in this Appendix A as the only source of information relating to the consequences of his or her participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time that Director’s DSUs vest or he or she sells shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan.
In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to Director’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure him or her of a particular result. Accordingly, Director should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in his or her country may apply to his or her situation.
Finally, if Director is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which he or she is currently residing and/or working, transfer service after the DSUs are granted, or are considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained herein may not apply to Director.

AUSTRALIA
Terms and Conditions
Form of Settlement. Notwithstanding any discretion in the Plan or anything contrary in Section 2 of the Agreement, due to tax considerations in Australia, the DSU grant (including any Dividend Equivalents) does not provide any right for Director to receive a cash payment, and the DSUs (including any Dividend Equivalents related thereto) are payable only in shares of Common Stock.

Notifications
Securities Law Notification. The offer of DSUs is being made under Division 1A, Part 7.12 of the Australian Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). If Director offers any shares of Common Stock for sale to a person or entity resident in Australia, the offer may be subject to disclosure requirements under Australian law (in addition to any requirements under the Plan and the Agreement). Director should consult with Director's personal legal advisor prior to making any such offer to ensure compliance with the applicable requirements.
Tax Information. The Plan is a plan to which Subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) applies (subject to the conditions in the Act).
Exchange Control Information. Exchange control reporting is required for cash transactions exceeding A$10,000 and international fund transfers. The Australian bank assisting with the transaction will file the report. If there is no Australian bank involved in the transfer, Director will be required to file the report.
CANADA

The following provisions apply if Director is a resident of Quebec:
French Language Documents. A French translation of certain documents related to the Plan will be made available to Director as soon as reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7(k) of the Agreement, to the extent required by applicable law and unless Director indicates otherwise, the French translation of such documents will govern Director's participation in the Plan.

Documents en Langue Française. Une traduction française de certains documents relatifs au Plan sera mise à la disposition du Directeur dès que cela sera raisonnablement possible.  Nonobstant les dispositions de l'article 7(k) du Contrat d’Attribution, dans la mesure requise par la loi applicable et à moins que le Directeur n'indique le contraire, la traduction française de ces documents régira la participation du Directeur au Plan.
Data Privacy. The following provision supplements Section 6 of the Agreement:

Director further
- 9 -



authorizes Newmont and any parent or Subsidiary of Newmont to record such information and to keep such information in Director’s file.
Notifications
Securities Law Information. Director is permitted to sell shares of Common Stock acquired through the Plan through the designated broker appointed under the Plan, if any, provided the resale of shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan takes place outside Canada through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. Canadian residents are required to report foreign specified property, including shares of Common Stock and rights to receive shares of Common Stock (e.g., DSUs), on form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of the foreign specified property exceeds C$100,000 at any time during the year. DSUs must be reported (generally, at a nil cost) if the C$100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because of other foreign specified property held by Director. When shares of Common Stock are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the shares of Common Stock. The ACB would ordinarily equal the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock at the time of acquisition, but if Director owns other shares of Common Stock, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares of Common Stock.
GHANA
There are no country-specific provisions.
MEXICO
Plan Document Acknowledgement. By accepting the DSUs, Director acknowledges that he or she has received a copy of the Plan and the Agreement, including this Appendix A which Director has reviewed.

Director further acknowledges that his or her participation in the Plan, the grant of the award and any acquisition of shares of Common Stock under the Plan do not constitute a service relationship nor a labor

relationship between Director and Newmont because Director is participating in the Plan on a wholly commercial basis. Based on the foregoing, Director expressly acknowledges that the Plan and the benefits that he or she may derive from participation in the Plan do not establish any rights between Director and Newmont, and do not form part of the service conditions and/or benefits provided by Newmont, and any modification of the Plan or its termination shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of Director’s service agreement, if any.

Director further understands that his or her participation in the Plan is the result of a unilateral and discretionary decision of Newmont and, therefore, Newmont reserves the absolute right to amend and/or discontinue Director’s participation in the Plan at any time, without prior notice and without any liability to Newmont.

Finally, Director hereby declares that he or she does not reserve to him or herself any action or right to bring any claim against Newmont for any compensation or damages regarding any provision of the Plan or the benefits derived under the Plan, and that he or she therefore grants a full and broad release to Newmont and any Parent or Subsidiary, Affiliates, branches, representation offices, shareholders, officers, agents and legal representatives with respect to any claim that may arise.

4. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.
Accordingly, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

The Borrower unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that, in connection with any Letter of Credit issued for the account of any Subsidiary as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph, it will be fully responsible for the reimbursement of LC Disbursements, the payment of interest thereon and the payment of fees due under Section 2.12(b) to the same extent as if it were the sole account party in respect of such Letter of Credit. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted to, or entered into with, any Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $1,200,000,000, (ii) the Revolving Credit Exposure plus the Competitive Loan Exposure shall not exceed the total Commitments and (iii) following the effectiveness of any Maturity Date Extension Request, the LC Exposure in respect of all Letters of Credit having an expiration date after the fifth Business Day prior to the Existing Maturity Date shall not exceed the aggregate Commitments of the Consenting Lenders extended pursuant to Section 2.21; provided that an Issuing Bank shall not issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit (other than automatic renewals thereof pursuant to customary evergreen provisions or amendments that do not effect an extension, or increase the stated face amount, of such Letter of Credit) if it shall have been notified by the Administrative Agent at the written request of the Required Lenders that a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and that, as a result, no further Letters of Credit shall be issued by it (a “Letter of Credit Suspension

Notice”); provided that such Issuing Bank shall have received such Letter of Credit Suspension Notice within a sufficient amount of time to process internally the instructions therein contained. Each determination as to whether a Letter of Credit constitutes a Financial Letter of Credit or a Performance Letter of Credit shall be made by the applicable Issuing Bank, acting reasonably and in consultation with the Borrower and, once made, shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Issuing Bank shall be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if: (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any requirement of law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular; (ii) the issuing thereof would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank; or (iii) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than dollars.
(c)    Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date.

In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each such Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit (provided that such Letter of Credit

Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.
(f)     Obligations Absolute.  The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect or (iii) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any of the Issuing Banks, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower and/or its applicable Subsidiary that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or wilful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of
33
AMERICAS 120615873



competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g)     Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, within the period stipulated by the terms and conditions of the applicable Letter of Credit, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly after such examination notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.
(h)     Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement by the date that is three Business Days following the date such reimbursement is due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(e) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.
(i)     Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives written notice from the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII. Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for LC Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide cash collateral in accordance with Section 2.11(b) or 2.20, such cash collateral shall be deposited and shall be held and applied in accordance with this paragraph. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of
34
AMERICAS 120615873



Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.11(b), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower as and to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, the Revolving Credit Exposure plus the Competitive Loan Exposure would not exceed the total Commitments and no Default shall have occurred and be continuing. The Borrower hereby agrees that, if at any time any cash collateral is required to be deposited pursuant to this paragraph (i) or as otherwise provided in this Agreement, it shall grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Issuing Bank and the Lenders, a security interest in all such cash collateral at such time.
(j)     Designation of Additional Issuing Banks. The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, designate as additional Issuing Banks one or more Lenders that agree to serve in such capacity as provided below. The acceptance by a Lender of an appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder shall be evidenced by an agreement, which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such additional Issuing Bank, executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such designated Lender and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to include such Lender in its capacity as an issuer of Letters of Credit hereunder.
(k)     Termination of an Issuing Bank. The Borrower may terminate the appointment of any Issuing Bank as an “Issuing Bank” hereunder by providing a written notice thereof to such Issuing Bank, with a copy to the Administrative Agent. Any such termination shall become effective upon the earlier of (i) such Issuing Bank acknowledging receipt of such notice and (ii) the 10th Business Day following the date of the delivery thereof; provided that no such termination shall become effective until and unless the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (or its Affiliates) shall have been reduced to zero. At the time any such termination shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the terminated Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). Notwithstanding the effectiveness of any such termination, the terminated Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such termination, but shall not issue any additional Letters of Credit. Without limiting the foregoing, following the delivery by the Borrower of any notice of termination in respect of any Issuing Bank (and regardless of whether such notice has become effective), such Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit.
(l)    Issuing Bank Exposure Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, unless a greater amount is otherwise agreed in writing by the applicable Issuing Bank, no Issuing Bank shall have any obligation hereunder to issue Letters of Credit if, at the time of and after giving effect to such issuance, the aggregate amount of LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank would exceed $200,000,000. Additionally, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Borrower and any Issuing Bank may separately agree to any greater or lesser limit on the amount of LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.
(m)     Issuing Bank Reports to the Administrative Agent. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall, in addition to its notification obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section, report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) periodic activity (for such period or recurrent periods as shall be requested by the Administrative Agent) in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, including all issuances, amendments, renewals and extensions, all expirations and cancellations and all disbursements and
35
AMERICAS 120615873



reimbursements, (ii) reasonably prior to the time that such Issuing Bank issues, amends, renews or extends any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the stated amount of the Letters of Credit issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amounts thereof shall have changed), (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, the date and amount of such LC Disbursement, (iv) on any Business Day on which the Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure and the amount of such LC Disbursement and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.
Section 2.07Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time (or, in the case of an ABR Borrowing on same day notice, by 3:00 p.m., New York City time), to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the applicable Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received to an account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York City and designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request or Competitive Bid Request; provided that Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank.
(b)     Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of (A) the NYFRB Rate and (B) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to such Borrowing. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.
Section 2.08Interest Elections. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Term SOFR Revolving Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Term SOFR Revolving Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and any Loans resulting from an election made with respect to any such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, no Borrowing may be converted into or continued as a Borrowing with an Interest Period ending after the Maturity Date. This Section shall not apply to Competitive Loans, which may not be converted or continued.
36
AMERICAS 120615873



(b)     To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election in writing or by electronic mail or telecopy by the time and date that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the Borrower shall not be permitted to elect an Interest Period for Term SOFR Loans that does not comply with Section 2.02(d).
(c)    Each written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:
1.the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);
2.the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;
3.whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing, a Term SOFR Borrowing or, if applicable pursuant to Sections 2.14 and 2.22, a Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing; and
4.if the resulting Borrowing is a Term SOFR Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period” and shall end no later than the Maturity Date.
If any such Interest Election Request requests a Term SOFR Borrowing, but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
(d)     Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.
(e)     If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Term SOFR Revolving Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period, such Term SOFR Revolving Borrowing will be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the written request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower (such notification to be promptly confirmed in writing), then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing each outstanding Term SOFR Revolving Borrowing may only be continued as a Term SOFR Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month.
Section 2.09Termination and Reduction of Commitments; Increase of Commitments.
(i) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.
37
AMERICAS 120615873



(ii) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time permanently reduce, the Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposure plus the Competitive Loan Exposure would exceed the total Commitments.
(iii) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least one Business Day (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent) prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or other events so specified, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with the amounts of their respective Commitments.
(iv) (i) The Borrower may at any time, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request Additional Credit Commitments from one or more Additional Credit Lenders, which may include any existing Lender; provided that at no time after the Effective Date shall the aggregate amount of Additional Credit Commitments effected pursuant to this paragraph exceed $500,000,000; providedfurther, that each Additional Credit Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld). Each such notice shall set forth (A) the amount of the Additional Credit Commitments being requested (which shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000) and (B) the date on which such Additional Credit Commitments are requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 days (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the applicable Additional Credit Lender) nor more than 45 days after the date of such notice).
(ii) The Borrower and each Person that in its sole discretion agrees to be an Additional Credit Lender in accordance with sub-paragraph (i) above shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Additional Credit Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Additional Credit Commitment of such Additional Credit Lender. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Additional Credit Assumption Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Additional Credit Assumption Agreement, each such Additional Credit Lender shall, to the extent not an existing Lender, become a Lender hereunder and this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Additional Credit Commitment evidenced thereby.
(iii) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, after giving effect to any Additional Credit Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.09(d), the outstanding Loans (if any) are held by the Lenders in accordance with their new pro rata percentages. This may be accomplished at the discretion of the Administrative Agent (A) by requiring the outstanding Loans to be prepaid with the proceeds of a new Borrowing, (B) by causing the existing Lenders to assign portions of their outstanding Loans to Additional
38
AMERICAS 120615873



Credit Lenders, which assignments shall be deemed to be effective pursuant to Section 9.04 or (C) by any combination of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order to eliminate any break funding liability to the Borrower, if, upon the date that any Additional Credit Commitment becomes effective pursuant to this Section 2.09(d), there is an unpaid principal amount of Revolving Loans to the Borrower, the principal outstanding amount of all such Revolving Loans shall (x) in the case of such Revolving Loans which are ABR Loans, be immediately repaid by the Borrower (but all such Revolving Loans may, on the terms and conditions hereof, be reborrowed on such date on a pro rata basis, based on the revised Commitments as then in effect) and (y) in the case of such Revolving Loans which are Term SOFR Loans, continue to remain outstanding (notwithstanding any other requirement in this Agreement that such Revolving Loans be held on a pro rata basis based on the revised Commitments as then in effect) until the end of the then current Interest Period therefor, at which time such Term SOFR Loans shall be paid by the Borrower to the Lenders on a pro rata basis, based on their respective Commitments (if any) immediately prior to giving effect to any Additional Credit Commitments (but all such Revolving Loans may, on the terms and conditions hereof, be reborrowed on such date, and any such reborrowing shall be funded by the Lenders, including the Lenders holding Additional Credit Commitments, on a pro rata basis based on the Commitments as then in effect).
(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Additional Credit Commitment shall become effective under this Section 2.09(d) unless on the date of such effectiveness, the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 4.02 shall be satisfied and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer.
Section 2.10Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan made to the Borrower on the Maturity Date and (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender that has made a Competitive Loan the unpaid principal amount of such Competitive Loan on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan.
(b)     Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
(c)    The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period, if any, applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.
(d)    The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall, absent manifest error, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e)    Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered
39
AMERICAS 120615873



assigns) and in a form approved by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (and its registered assigns).
Section 2.11Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section and payment, when required thereby, of any amounts required under Section 2.16; provided that the Borrower shall not have the right to prepay any Competitive Loan without the prior consent of the Lender thereof.
(b)     In the event and on each occasion that the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposure plus the Competitive Loan Exposure exceeds the total Commitments, the Borrower shall: first, promptly prepay Revolving Borrowings in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess, and second, to the extent of any remaining excess, or if no Revolving Borrowings are outstanding, promptly make a deposit in a cash collateral account maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.06(i) to be held as security for the Borrower’s obligations in respect of Letters of Credit. To the extent the amount of cash collateral provided hereunder at any time exceeds the LC Exposure at such time and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the excess thereof shall be returned to the Borrower.
(c)    Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to paragraph (d) below.
(d)    The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing or by electronic mail or telecopy of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a SOFR Revolving Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, three U.S. Government Securities Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Revolving Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof, to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.09, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.09. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.
Section 2.12Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) a facility fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily amount of the Commitments of such Lender (whether used or unused) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Commitments terminate; provided that, if such Lender continues to have any Revolving Credit Exposure after its Commitments terminate, then such facility fee shall continue to accrue on the daily amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure from and including the date on which its Commitment terminates to but excluding the date on which such Lender ceases to have any Revolving Credit Exposure. Facility fees accrued through but excluding the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of such year and on the date on which all the Commitments
40
AMERICAS 120615873



terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that any facility fees accruing after the date on which all the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. All facility fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 (or 366, as the case may be) days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).
(b)     The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender to the extent provided in Section 2.20) a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure in respect of Performance Letters of Credit and Financial Letters of Credit (excluding, in each case, any LC Exposure attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) at the Applicable Rate for Performance Letters of Credit or Financial Letters of Credit, as the case may be, during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure and (ii) to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum, unless a higher or lower rate per annum is separately agreed upon between an individual Issuing Bank and the Borrower, in each case, on the daily amount of the LC Exposure attributable to Performance Letters of Credit or Financial Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure attributable to such Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the later of the date on which the Commitments terminate and the date on which there shall cease to be any LC Exposure. All participation fees and fronting fees in respect of Letters of Credit shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 (or 366, as the case may be) days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).
(c)     The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
(d)    All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to each Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for its own account or, in the case of facility fees and participation fees, for distribution to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.
Section 2.13Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.
(b)     The Loans comprising each Term SOFR Borrowing shall bear interest (i) in the case of a Term SOFR Revolving Borrowing, at Adjusted Term SOFR for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate or (ii) in the case of a Term SOFR Competitive Borrowing, at Adjusted Term SOFR for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus (or minus, as applicable) the Margin applicable to such Borrowing.
(c)    The Loans comprising each Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing (if such Type of Loans is applicable pursuant to Sections 2.14 and 2.22) shall bear interest (i) in the case of a Daily Simple SOFR Revolving Borrowing, at Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR plus the Applicable

(d)     Each Fixed Rate Loan shall bear interest at the Fixed Rate applicable to such Loan.
(e)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.00% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2.00% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.
(f)    Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Term SOFR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.
(g)     All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
Section 2.14Alternate Rate of Interest. Subject to Section 2.22, if, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Term SOFR Loan:
(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that (A) Adjusted Term SOFR for any Term SOFR Borrowing cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof (including because the Term SOFR Reference Rate is not available or published on a current basis for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan) or (B) Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR for any Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or
(ii) the Required Lenders determine, and have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent, that for any reason (A) in connection with any request for a Term SOFR Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Adjusted Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans for such Interest Period or (B) Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in any Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing,
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice (which may be telephonic or by electronic mail) thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the Borrower delivers
42
AMERICAS 120615873



a new Interest Election Request in accordance with Section 2.08 or a new Borrowing Request in accordance with Section 2.03, any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Term SOFR Borrowing and any Borrowing Request that requests a Term SOFR Borrowing shall instead be deemed to be an Interest Election Request or a Borrowing Request, as applicable, for (x) a Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing, so long as Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 2.14(a) or 2.14(b) above, or (y) an ABR Borrowing if Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of Section 2.14(a) or 2.14(b) above. Furthermore, if any Term SOFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 2.14(a) with respect to the Relevant Rate applicable to such Term SOFR Loan, then until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the Borrower delivers a new Interest Election Request in accordance with Section 2.08 or a new Borrowing Request in accordance with Section 2.03, any Term SOFR Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, convert to, and shall constitute, (x) a Daily Simple SOFR Loan, so long as Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 2.14(a) or 2.14(b) above, or (y) an ABR Loan if Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of Section 2.14(a) or 2.14(b) above.
The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (a) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to ABR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR or Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR, or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, ABR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR, Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming Changes, except in each case, to the extent of liabilities resulting primarily from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent (as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction). The Administrative Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of ABR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR, Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain ABR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR, Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR or any other Benchmark, or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, in each case, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof), in each case, provided by any such information source or service.
Section 2.15Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:
1.impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any Issuing Bank (except for any such requirement reflected in Adjusted Term SOFR);
43
AMERICAS 120615873



2.impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank any other condition affecting this Agreement or SOFR Loans or Fixed Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or
3.subject any Recipient to any Taxes on its Loans, loan principal, Letters of Credit, Commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” and (C) Connection Income Taxes);
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making or maintaining any SOFR Loan or Fixed Rate Loan or to increase the cost to such Lender, any Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)    If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made, or participations in Letters of Credit held, by such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank, or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered, but only to the extent that such Lender has generally requested such compensation from similarly situated borrowers.
(c)    A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof.
(d)    Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or any Issuing Bank pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; providedfurther, that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
(e)    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, a Lender shall not be entitled to compensation pursuant to this Section in respect of any Competitive Loan if the
44
AMERICAS 120615873



Change in Law that would otherwise entitle it to such compensation shall have been publicly announced prior to submission of the Competitive Bid pursuant to which such Loan was made.
Section 2.16Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any SOFR Loan or Fixed Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any SOFR Loan or Fixed Rate Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(d) and is revoked in accordance therewith), (d) the failure to borrow any Competitive Loan after accepting the Competitive Bid to make such Loan, or (e) the assignment of any SOFR Loan or Fixed Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period, as the case may be, applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense (excluding loss of anticipated profit) attributable to such event. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.16 for any loss, cost or expense incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the event giving rise to such loss, cost or expense and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor.
Section 2.17Taxes. (a) Each payment by any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without withholding for any Taxes, unless such withholding is required by any law. If any Withholding Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it is so required to withhold any Taxes, then such Withholding Agent may so withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, then the amount payable by such Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that, net of such withholding (including such withholding applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section), the applicable Recipient receives the amount it would have received had no such withholding been made.
(b)     The Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c)    As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(d)    The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient for any Indemnified Taxes that are paid or payable by such Recipient in connection with any Loan Document (including amounts paid or payable under this Section 2.17(d)) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this Section 2.17(d) shall be paid within 10 days after the Recipient delivers to any Loan Party a certificate stating the amount of any Indemnified Taxes so paid or payable by such Recipient and describing the basis for the indemnification claim; provided that no Loan Party
45
AMERICAS 120615873



shall be required to indemnify any Recipient pursuant to this paragraph for any such Indemnified Taxes (including expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto) paid by the Recipient more than 180 days prior to the date that the Recipient notifies the applicable Loan Party of such payment by the Recipient of such Indemnified Taxes and of the Recipient’s intention to claim indemnification therefor. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error. Such Recipient shall deliver a copy of such certificate to the Administrative Agent.
(e)    Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so) attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this Section 2.17(e) shall be paid within 10 days after the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating the amount of Taxes so paid or payable by the Administrative Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error.
(f)    (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, any applicable withholding Tax with respect to any payments under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by either the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to any withholding (including backup withholding) or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.17(f)(ii)(A) through (E) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, any Lender shall update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.17(f). If any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to a Lender, such Lender shall promptly (and in any event within 10 days after such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update the form or certification if it is legally eligible to do so.
(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Lender shall, if it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies reasonably requested by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party hereto, duly completed and executed copies of whichever of the following is applicable:
(A)    in the case of a Lender that is a U.S. Person, IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;

(C)     in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender for whom payments under this Agreement constitute income that is effectively connected with such Lender’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States, IRS Form W-8ECI;
(D)     in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code both (1) IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, and (2) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C (a “U.S. Tax Certificate”) to the effect that such Lender is not (a) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (b) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code (c) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (d) conducting a trade or business in the United States with which the relevant interest payments are effectively connected;
(E)     in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is not the beneficial owner of payments made under this Agreement (including an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes or a participating Lender) (1) an IRS Form W-8IMY on behalf of itself and (2) the relevant forms prescribed in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (F) of this paragraph (f)(ii) that would be required of each such beneficial owner or partner of such partnership if such beneficial owner or partner were a Lender; providedhowever, that if the Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more of its partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, such Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Certificate on behalf of such partners; or
(F)     any other form prescribed by law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax together with such supplementary documentation necessary to enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the amount of Tax (if any) required by law to be withheld.
(iii) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Withholding Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.17(f)(iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, and any regulations or official interpretations thereof, after the Effective Date.

(g)    If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section 2.17), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid to such indemnifying party pursuant to the previous sentence (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.17(g), in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.17(g) if such payment would place such indemnified party in a less favorable position (on a net after-Tax basis) than such indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 2.17(g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(h)     For purposes of Section 2.17(e) and (f), the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank.
(i)     [reserved].
(j)     Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 2.18Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.
(a)    Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.06(e), the Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest or fees, reimbursements of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or Issuing Bank or, in any such case, to such other account as the Administrative Agent shall from time to time specify in a notice delivered to the Borrower, except payments to an Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and payments pursuant to Sections 2.15 (other than paragraph (b) thereof), 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.

AMERICAS 120615873



(b)     If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due from the Borrower hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due from the Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due from the Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.
(c)     If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans or participations in LC Disbursements, as applicable, of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans or participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender or Issuing Bank acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender or such Issuing Bank were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
(d)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or any Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or each of the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(e)    If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b) or paragraph (d) of this Section 2.18, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 2.19Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender (including any Issuing Bank) requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender (including any Issuing Bank) or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender (including any Issuing Bank) pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender (including such Issuing Bank) shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans (or issuing its Letters of Credit) hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender (including such Issuing Bank), such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender (including such Issuing Bank) to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender (including such Issuing Bank). The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender (including any Issuing Bank) in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b)     If (i) any Lender (including any Issuing Bank) requests compensation under Section 2.15, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender (including any Issuing Bank) or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender (including any Issuing Bank) pursuant to Section 2.17, (iii) any Lender has become a Defaulting Lender, (iv) any Lender has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that under Section 9.02 requires the consent of all the Lenders (or all the affected Lenders) and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent or (v) any Lender is a Declining Lender under Section 2.21, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17) and obligations under this Agreement (other than any outstanding Competitive Loans held by it) to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (A) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank, which consents shall not unreasonably be withheld, (B) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans (other than Competitive Loans) and participations in LC Disbursements which have been funded by and not reimbursed to such Lender, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (C) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction or elimination in such compensation, payments or additional interest, (D) in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from the failure to provide a consent, the assignee shall have given such consent and, as a result of such assignment and delegation and any contemporaneous assignments and delegations and consents, the applicable amendment, waiver, discharge or termination can be effected and (E) in the case of any such assignment and delegation in respect of a Lender where such Lender (or any Affiliate thereof) is an Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall, substantially simultaneously with such assignment and transfer, terminate such Lender (or, at the request of any such Affiliate, such Affiliate) as an Issuing Bank in accordance with Section 2.09. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver or consent by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation have ceased to apply. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment and delegation required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make such assignment and delegation need not be a party thereto.

Section 2.20Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(a)     except to the extent provided to the contrary in paragraph (iv) of Section 2.20(c) below, facility fees shall cease to accrue pursuant to Section 2.12(a) on the unused amount of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender;
(b)     the Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or any other requisite Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that any amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or all Lenders affected thereby shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02, require the consent of such Defaulting Lender in accordance with the terms hereof;
(c)    if any LC Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
1.the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent that the sum of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure does not exceed the sum of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitments;
2.if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, within two Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Banks the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure that has not been reallocated in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.06(i) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;
3.if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay participation fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) with respect to such portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure for so long as such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;
4.if any portion of the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.12(a) and 2.12(b) shall be adjusted to give effect to such reallocation; and
5.if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all facility fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment utilized by such LC Exposure) and participation fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Banks (and allocated among them ratably based on the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by each Issuing Bank) until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and
51
AMERICAS 120615873



(d)    so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, unless in each case it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be fully covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.20(c), and participating interests in any such issued, amended, renewed or extended Letter of Credit will be allocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).
In the event that (x) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a Lender Parent shall have occurred following the Effective Date and for so long as such Bankruptcy Event shall continue or (y) any Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, unless such Issuing Bank shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender satisfactory to such Issuing Bank to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.
In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each Issuing Bank each agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Subject to Section 9.16, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
Section 2.21Extension of Maturity Date. (a) The Borrower may, by delivery of a Maturity Date Extension Request to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy thereof to each of the Lenders) not less than 30 days prior to the then existing maturity date for Commitments hereunder (the “Existing Maturity Date”), request that the Lenders extend the Existing Maturity Date in accordance with this Section 2.21. Each Maturity Date Extension Request shall (i) specify the date to which the Maturity Date is sought to be extended, (ii) specify the changes, if any, to the Applicable Rate to be applied in determining the interest payable on Revolving Loans of, and fees payable hereunder to, Consenting Lenders in respect of that portion of their Commitments (and related Revolving Loans) extended to such new Maturity Date and the time as of which such changes will become effective (which may be prior to the Existing Maturity Date), and (iii) specify any other amendments or modifications to this Agreement to be effected in connection with such Maturity Date Extension Request; provided that no such changes or modifications requiring approvals pursuant to Section 9.02(b) shall become effective prior to the then existing Maturity Date unless such other approvals have been obtained. In the event a Maturity Date Extension Request shall have been delivered by the Borrower, each Lender shall have the right to agree to the extension of the Existing Maturity Date and other matters contemplated thereby on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein (each Lender agreeing to the Maturity Date Extension Request being referred to herein as a “Consenting Lender” and each Lender not agreeing thereto being referred to herein as a “Declining Lender”), which right may be exercised by written notice thereof, specifying the maximum amount of the Commitment of such Lender with respect to which such Lender agrees to the extension of the Maturity Date, delivered to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) not later than a day to be agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent following the date on which the Maturity Date Extension Request
52
AMERICAS 120615873



shall have been delivered by the Borrower (it being understood that any Lender that shall have failed to exercise such right as set forth above shall be deemed to be a Declining Lender). If a Lender elects to extend only a portion of its then existing Commitment, it will be deemed for purposes hereof to be a Consenting Lender in respect of such extended portion and a Declining Lender in respect of the remaining portion of its Commitment. If Consenting Lenders shall have agreed to such Maturity Date Extension Request in respect of Commitments held by them, then, subject to paragraph (d) of this Section, on the date specified in the Maturity Date Extension Request as the effective date thereof (the “Extension Effective Date”), (i) the Existing Maturity Date of the applicable Commitments shall, as to the Consenting Lenders, be extended to such date as shall be specified therein, (ii) the terms and conditions of the Commitments of the Consenting Lenders (including interest and fees (including Letter of Credit fees) payable in respect thereof), shall be modified as set forth in the Maturity Date Extension Request and (iii) such other modifications and amendments hereto specified in the Maturity Date Extension Request shall (subject to any required approvals (including those of the Required Lenders) having been obtained) become effective.
(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall have the right, in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.19 and 9.04, at any time prior to the Existing Maturity Date, to replace a Declining Lender (for the avoidance of doubt, only in respect of that portion of such Lender’s Commitments subject to a Maturity Date Extension Request that it has not agreed to extend) with a Lender or other financial institution that will agree to such Maturity Date Extension Request, and any such replacement Lender shall for all purposes constitute a Consenting Lender in respect of the Commitment assigned to and assumed by it on and after the effective time of such replacement.
(c)    If a Maturity Date Extension Request has become effective hereunder:
1.not later than the Business Day prior to the Existing Maturity Date, the Borrower shall make prepayments of Loans and shall provide cash collateral in respect of Letters of Credit in the manner set forth in Section 2.11, such that, after giving effect to such prepayments and such provision of cash collateral, the aggregate credit exposures outstanding as of such date will not exceed the aggregate Commitments of the Consenting Lenders extended pursuant to this Section 2.21 (and the Borrower shall not be permitted thereafter to request any Loan or any issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit if, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate credit exposures outstanding would exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments so extended); and
2.on the Existing Maturity Date, the Commitment of each Declining Lender shall, to the extent not assumed, assigned or transferred as provided in paragraph (b) of this Section, terminate, and the Borrower shall repay all the Revolving Loans of each Declining Lender, to the extent such Revolving Loans shall not have been so purchased, assigned and transferred, in each case together with accrued and unpaid interest and all fees and other amounts owing to such Declining Lender hereunder (accordingly, the Commitment of any Consenting Lender shall, to the extent the amount of such Commitment exceeds the amount set forth in the notice delivered by such Lender pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section, be permanently reduced by the amount of such excess, and the Borrower shall prepay the proportionate part of the outstanding Revolving Loans of such Consenting Lender, in each case together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but excluding the Existing Maturity Date and all fees and other amounts payable in respect thereof on or prior to the Existing Maturity Date), it being understood that such repayments may be funded with the proceeds of new Revolving Borrowings made simultaneously with such repayments by the Consenting Lenders, which such
53
AMERICAS 120615873



Revolving Borrowings shall be made ratably by the Consenting Lenders in accordance with their extended Commitments.
(d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Maturity Date Extension Request shall become effective hereunder unless, on the Extension Effective Date, the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 shall be satisfied (with all references in such Section to a Borrowing being deemed to be references to such Maturity Date Extension Request) and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer.
(e)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, it is hereby agreed that no extension of an Existing Maturity Date in accordance with the express terms of this Section 2.21, or any amendment or modification of the terms and conditions of the Commitments and Revolving Loans of the Consenting Lenders effected pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to (i) violate the last sentence of Section 2.09(c) or Section 2.18(b) or 2.18(c) or any other provision of this Agreement requiring the ratable reduction of Commitments or the ratable sharing of payments or (ii) require the consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders under Section 9.02(b).
(f)    The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Consenting Lenders may enter into an amendment to this Agreement to effect such modifications as may be necessary to reflect the terms of any Maturity Date Extension Request that has become effective in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.21.
Section 2.22Benchmark Replacement Setting.
(i)Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a quarterly basis.
(ii)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(iii)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with
54
AMERICAS 120615873



the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.22(d) and (iv) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.22, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.22.
(iv)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(v)Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Term SOFR Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request for a Term SOFR Borrowing into a request for a Borrowing of, or conversion to, (A) a Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing, so long as Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event, or (B) an ABR Borrowing, if Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event. Furthermore, if any Term SOFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term SOFR Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement is implemented pursuant to this Section 2.22, any Term SOFR Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, convert to, and shall constitute, (x) a Daily Simple SOFR Loan, so long as Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event, or (y) an ABR Loan if Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event.

It is further understood and agreed that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Sustainability Agent shall have any responsibility for (or liability in respect of) reviewing, auditing or otherwise evaluating any calculation by the Borrower of (i) the relevant sustainability performance targets and/or key performance indicators or (ii) any Sustainability Adjustment (or any of the data or computations that are part of or related to any such calculation) set forth in any ESG Certificate (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry, when implementing any such pricing adjustment).
Subject to the terms of this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time from its capacity as such. In connection with such resignation, the Administrative Agent shall give notice of its intent to resign to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not to be unreasonably withheld), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and such successor. Following the effectiveness of the Administrative Agent’s resignation from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such

retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.
If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, with the prior written consent of the Borrower, appoint a successor. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the removed Administrative Agent, and the removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.
Each Lender and Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any other Lender or Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any other Lender or Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 9.02Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.
(b)    Except as provided in Section 2.21, neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders, or in the case of the Guarantee Agreement, the Guarantor; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or the amount of any LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon (other than a waiver of post-default additional interest as specified in Section 2.13(a)) (it being understood that any amendments to Section 2.22 or to the component definitions thereof shall not constitute a reduction in rate of interest), or reduce any fees payable to any Lender hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or the scheduled date of payment of any LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon (other than a waiver of post-default additional interest as specified in Section 2.13(e)) (it being understood that any amendments to Section 2.22 or to the component definitions thereof shall not constitute an extension to the date of any payment of interest), or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.18(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby or (v) change any of the provisions of this Section 9.02(b) or the definition of “Required Lenders” (other than any change to the definition of “Required Lenders” necessary for any new class of Lenders to be treated on the same basis as existing Lenders) or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender; providedfurther, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, (A) no consent with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be required of (1) any Defaulting Lender, except with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the first proviso of this paragraph and then only in the event such Defaulting Lender shall be affected by such amendment, waiver or other modification or (2) any Lender that receives payment in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by, and all other amounts owing to, such Lender or accrued for the account of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents at the time such amendment, waiver or other modification becomes effective and whose Commitments terminate by the terms and upon

Section 9.04Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that the Borrower may not (except as otherwise provided herein) assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit) and the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b)    Any Lender may assign to one or more commercial banks or other financial institutions (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not to any natural person or Disqualified Lender) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it and amounts in respect of Letters of Credit at the time owing to it); provided that (i) each of the Borrower (except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender), the Administrative Agent and any Issuing Bank must give their prior written consent to such assignment which such consents shall not be unreasonably withheld, (ii) the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent), if less than the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s commitment, shall not in any event be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, (iii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, except that this clause (iii) shall not apply to rights in respect of outstanding Competitive Loans, (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (unless such processing and recordation fee has been waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), (v) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire, (vi) no such assignment shall be made to any Defaulting Lender or any of its subsidiaries, or any Person, who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (vi) and (vii) no such assignment shall be made to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries; and provided, further, that any consent of the Borrower otherwise required under the preceding proviso of this paragraph (b) shall (1) not be required if an Event of Default under clauses (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Article VII (with respect to the Borrower) has occurred and is continuing and (2) for any assignment, be deemed to have been given by the Borrower, unless it shall object to such assignment by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days after having first received notice thereof. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section.
76
AMERICAS 120615873



(c)    The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York, New York a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of and stated interest on the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Issuing Bank and any Lender (as to its own interest), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d)    Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms required by Section 2.17(f) (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
(e)    Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not to any natural person or any Disqualified Lender) (a “Participant”), other than the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries, in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.17(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.17(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender or Issuing Bank)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.18 and 2.19 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.15 or 2.17, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender or Issuing Bank would have been entitled to receive. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information
77
AMERICAS 120615873



relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and Section 1.163-5(b) of the United States Proposed Treasury Regulations (or any amended or successor version). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

Section 9.13USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the USA PATRIOT Act and each Issuing Bank hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Loan Party, which information includes the name, address and tax identification number of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Act.

Section 9.15No Fiduciary Relationship. The Borrower, on behalf of itself and the Subsidiaries, agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and their Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or their Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications. The Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and their Affiliates may be engaged, for their own accounts or the accounts of customers, in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or their Affiliates has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries.

Section 9.16Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.

81
AMERICAS 120615873



Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
(b)    the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
1.a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
2.a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
3.the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any applicable Resolution Authority.
Section 9.17Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):
In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

ARTICLE 10

TREATMENT OF LOANS FOR PURPOSES OF REGULATION U
Section 10.01Treatment for Purposes of Regulation U. The Borrower and the Lenders agree that, (i) if at any time the proceeds of any Loans are to be used in any manner which would cause such Loans to be classified as “purpose loans” under Regulation U of the Board (all such Loans being herein referred to as “Purpose Loans” and all other Loans being herein referred to as “Non-Purpose Loans”), and (ii) if at the time of the making of any Loan after giving effect to which Purpose Loans are outstanding and the representation contained in the fourth sentence of Section 3.12 cannot be made, the Borrower shall so notify the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Lenders) prior to the making of each such Loan (specifying the amount to be so used) and, from and after such date, this Article X shall apply.
Section 10.02Allocation of Credit. The Loans made hereunder by each Lender shall at all times be treated for purposes of Regulation U as three separate extensions of credit (the “A Credit”, the “B Credit” and the “C Credit” of such Lender; collectively, the “A Credits”, the “B Credits” and the “C Credits”), as follows:
(a)    the principal amount of the A Credit of such Lender shall be an amount equal to the aggregate of the A Portions of all Purpose Loans made by such Lender (for purposes of this Article X, the “A Portion” of any Purpose Loan shall be a portion of the original principal amount of such Purpose Loan equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the maximum loan value of the Margin Stock (including the Margin Stock to be purchased with such Purpose Loan) referred to in Section 10.03(a) (minus any part of such Margin Stock allocated by such Lender under this paragraph (a) to prior Purpose Loans made by it) as determined by such Lender at the time of the making of such Purpose Loan in accordance with Regulation U) minus all payments and prepayments applied thereto in accordance with Sections 10.03(a) and (b) and Section 10.04;
(b)    the principal amount of the B Credit of such Lender shall be an amount equal to the aggregate of the B Portions of all Purpose Loans made by such Lender (for purposes of this Article X, the “B Portion” of any Purpose Loan shall mean the difference between the original principal amount of such Purpose Loan and the A Portion of such Purpose Loan) minus all payments and prepayments applied thereto in accordance with Sections 10.03(a) and (b) and Section 10.04; and
(c)    the principal amount of the C Credit of such Lender shall be an amount equal to the aggregate of the portions (the “C Portions”) of all Loans made by such Lender other than the A Portions and the B Portions of such Loans minus all payments and prepayments applied thereto in accordance with Sections 10.03(a) and (b) and Section 10.04.
Section 10.03Allocation of Collateral. (a) The benefits of negative pledges in favor of the Lenders (direct and indirect) in the Margin Stock and the proceeds thereof provided for by this Agreement shall be allocated to the payment of the principal of and interest on the A Credits of the Lenders and of all other amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement in connection with the A Credits (collectively, the “A Credit Amounts”); after the payment in full of the A Credit Amounts such benefits shall be allocated to the payment of the principal of and interest on first the B Credits of the Lenders and of all other amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement in connection with the B Credits (collectively, the “B Credit Amounts”) and second the C Credits of the Lenders and of all other amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement in connection with the C Credits (collectively, the “C Credit Amounts”). The Borrower agrees that it
83
AMERICAS 120615873



shall not, and shall not permit any of its subsidiaries to, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any shares of Margin Stock, or otherwise withdraw or substitute any direct or indirect security for any Purpose Loans, unless after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of Loans to be made in connection therewith, such sale, transfer, disposition or other withdrawal or substitution would be permissible under Section 221.3(f) of Regulation U.
(b)    The benefits of the negative pledges in favor of the Lenders (direct and indirect) in the assets of the Borrower other than Margin Stock provided for by this Agreement shall be allocated first to the payment of the B Credit Amounts and second to the payment of the C Credit Amounts; and only after the payment in full of all B Credit Amounts and C Credit Amounts, to the payment of the A Credit Amounts.
(c)     Each Lender will mark its records to identify irrevocably the A Credit of such Lender with the benefits described in paragraph (a) of this Section 10.03 and the B Credit of such Lender with the benefits described in paragraph (b) of this Section 10.03 upon which it is relying as security for the B Credit and the C Credit of such Lender with the benefits described in paragraph (b) of this Section 10.03 upon which it is relying as security for the C Credit.
(d)    In order to better enable the Lenders to comply with paragraph (c) of this Section 10.03, Purpose Loans shall be treated as separate and distinct “Loans” (A Credits, being credits for which the Lender is relying upon Margin Stock as security and B Credits, being credits for which the Lender is relying upon assets other than Margin Stock as security) and shall be treated as separate and distinct from Non-Purpose Loans (C Credits, being credits for which the Lender is relying as security on assets other than the assets required to secure the A Credits and B Credits) for purposes of borrowings, payments, prepayments and conversions of Loans under this Agreement and the determination of Interest Periods with respect thereto.
Section 10.04Allocation of Payments. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement (but in any event subject to the requirements of Regulation U), all payments and prepayments by the Borrower of the Loans shall be applied first to the payment or prepayment of the A Credits, second to the payment or prepayment of the B Credits and third to the payment or prepayment of the C Credits; provided that each such payment and prepayment made with funds derived from assets subject to the provisions of paragraph (b) of Section 10.03 shall be applied first to the payment or prepayment of the B Credit Amounts, second to the payment or prepayment of the C Credit Amounts and third to the payment or prepayment of the A Credit Amounts; and providedfurther, that each such payment and prepayment made with funds derived from assets subject to the provisions referred to in paragraph (a) of Section 10.03 shall be applied first to the payment or prepayment of the A Credit Amounts, second to the payment or prepayment of the B Credit Amounts and third to the payment or prepayment of the C Credit Amounts.
Section 10.05Information. The Borrower will furnish to each Lender, prior to the making of any Loan or at any time thereafter upon the request of such Lender, such information as such Lender may require to distinguish between Purpose Loans and Non-Purpose Loans and to determine the A, B and C Portions thereof, and from time to time such other information as such Lender may require to comply with paragraphs (c) and (d) of Section 10.03 and with Section 10.04 and to further determine compliance with Regulation U, and such documents as such Lender may require to comply with Regulation U.
Section 10.06Individual Lender Responsibility. Each Lender shall be responsible for its own compliance with and administration of the provisions of this Article X, and the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for any determinations or allocations
84
AMERICAS 120615873



(including, without limitation, any allocations of payments or prepayments) made or to be made by any Lender as required by such provisions. Notwithstanding anything else provided herein, nothing contained in this Article X shall bind any Lender to act (or to fail to act) in any manner that could cause such Lender to violate, or could result in the violation of, any applicable law, rule, regulation or order of any Governmental Authority.

Mine Safety Information. Whenever the Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”) believes a violation of the Mine Act, any health or safety standard or any regulation has occurred, it may issue a citation which describes the alleged violation and fixes a time within which the U.S. mining operator (e.g. our subsidiary, Newmont USA Limited) must abate the alleged violation. In some situations, such as when MSHA believes that conditions pose a hazard to miners, MSHA may issue an order removing miners from the area of the mine affected by the condition until the alleged hazards are corrected. When MSHA issues a citation or order, it generally proposes a civil penalty, or fine, as a result of the alleged violation, that the operator is ordered to pay. Citations and orders can be contested and appealed, and as part of that process, are often reduced in severity and amount, and are sometimes dismissed. The number of citations, orders and proposed assessments vary depending on the size and type (underground or surface) of the mine as well as by the MSHA inspector(s) assigned. In addition to civil penalties, the Mine Act also provides for criminal penalties for an operator who willfully violates a health or safety standard or knowingly violates or fails or refuses to comply with an order issued under Section 107(a) or any final decision issued under the Act.

The below table reflects citations and orders issued to us by MSHA during the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The proposed assessments for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 were taken from the MSHA data retrieval system as of April 10, 2023. 
Additional information about the Act and MSHA references used in the table follows.
Section 104(a) Significant and Substantial ("S&S") Citations: Citations received from MSHA under section 104(a) of the Mine Act for violations of mandatory health or safety standards that could significantly and substantially contribute to the cause and effect of a mine safety or health hazard.
Section 104(b) Orders: Orders issued by MSHA under section 104(b) of the Mine Act, which represents a failure to abate a citation under section 104(a) within the period of time prescribed by MSHA. This results in an order of immediate withdrawal from the area of the mine affected by the condition until MSHA determines that the violation has been abated.
Section 104(d) S&S Citations and Orders: Citations and orders issued by MSHA under section 104(d) of the Mine Act for unwarrantable failure to comply with mandatory, significant and substantial health or safety standards.
Section 110(b)(2) Violations: Flagrant violations issued by MSHA under section 110(b)(2) of the Mine Act.
Section 107(a) Orders: Orders issued by MSHA under section 107(a) of the Mine Act for situations in which MSHA determined an “imminent danger” (as defined by MSHA) existed.

____________________________
(1)The definition of a mine under section 3 of the Mine Act includes the mine, as well as other items used in, or to be used in, or resulting from, the work of extracting minerals, such as land, structures, facilities, equipment, machines, tools, and minerals preparation facilities. Unless otherwise indicated, any of these other items associated with a single mine have been aggregated in the totals for that mine. MSHA assigns an identification number to each mine and may or may not assign separate identification numbers to related facilities such as preparation facilities. We are providing the information in the table by mine rather than MSHA identification number because that is how we manage and operate our mining business and we believe this presentation will be more useful to investors than providing information based on MSHA identification numbers.

(2)No Section 104(a) S&S Citations and no Section 104(d) S&S Citations and Orders were subject to contest as of March 31, 2023.  
(3)Represents the total dollar value of the proposed assessment from MSHA under the Mine Act pursuant to the citations and or orders preceding such dollar value in the corresponding row. No proposed assessments of the orders or citations listed above had yet been posted to the MSHA data retrieval system or made available to the Company by MSHA as of April 10, 2023. Proposed assessments amounted to: $0. 
Pattern or Potential Pattern of Violations. During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, none of the mines operated by us received written notice from MSHA of (a) a pattern of violations of mandatory health or safety standards that are of such nature as could have significantly and substantially contributed to the cause and effect of mine health or safety hazards under section 104(e) of the Mine Act or (b) the potential to have such a pattern.
Pending Legal Actions. The following table reflects pending legal actions before the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission (the “Commission”), an independent adjudicative agency that provides administrative trial and appellate review of legal disputes arising under the Mine Act, as of March 31, 2023, together with the number of legal actions instituted and the number of legal actions resolved as of March 31, 2023.

(2)The foregoing list includes legal actions which were initiated prior to the current reporting period and which do not necessarily relate to citations, orders or proposed assessments issued by MSHA during the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The number of legal actions noted above are reported on a per docket basis.
Legal actions pending before the Commission may involve, among other questions, challenges by operators to citations, orders and penalties they have received from MSHA or complaints of discrimination by miners under section 105 of the Mine Act. The following is a brief description of the types of legal actions that may be brought before the Commission.
Contests of Citations and Orders: A contest proceeding may be filed with the Commission by operators, miners or miners’ representatives to challenge the issuance of a citation or order issued by MSHA.
Contests of Proposed Penalties (Petitions for Assessment of Penalties): A contest of a proposed penalty is an administrative proceeding before the Commission challenging a civil penalty that MSHA has proposed for the alleged violation contained in a citation or order. The validity of the citation may also be challenged in this proceeding as well.
Complaints for Compensation: A complaint for compensation may be filed with the Commission by miners entitled to compensation when a mine is closed by certain withdrawal orders issued by MSHA. The purpose of the proceeding is to determine the amount of compensation, if any, due miners idled by the orders.
Complaints of Discharge, Discrimination or Interference: A discrimination proceeding is a case that involves a miner’s allegation that he or she has suffered a wrong by the operator because he or she engaged in some type of activity protected under the Mine Act, such as making a safety complaint.
Applications for Temporary Relief: An application for temporary relief from any modification or termination of any order or from any order issued under section 104 of the Mine Act.
Appeals of Judges’ Decisions or Orders to the Commission: A filing with the Commission of a petition for discretionary review of a Judge’s decision or order by a person who has been adversely affected or aggrieved by such decision or order.
