NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual agreements
of the parties herein contained, it is agreed that the Agreement is hereby
amended in the following manner, effective as of May 17, 2000:
1. Paragraph 2(a) of the Agreement is hereby revised in its entirety
to read as follows:
Newmont will employ Executive commencing on the Effective Date
and continuing until either party terminates this Agreement in
accordance with the following sentence hereof. Either party may
terminate this Agreement at any time after giving 90-days'
advance written notice to the other party of such party's
intention to terminate this Agreement, or such shorter notice
period as may be mutually agreed to by the parties. The
foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 2(a) are subject to the
other terms and provisions of this Agreement.
2. The word "director" is hereby deleted from the definition of
"compete" contained in the second sentence of Paragraph 3(c) of the Agreement.
Paragraph 3(c) of the Agreement is also hereby revised by adding a third
sentence to read as follows:
Executive shall not be deemed to compete with Newmont solely as a
result of Executive serving as a member of the board of directors
of any business or charitable organization.
3. Paragraph 4(vii) of the Agreement is hereby revised by adding a
new sentence at the end thereof to read as follows:
Upon Executive's death, if Executive has not been paid the non-
qualified retirement benefit described in this Paragraph 4(vii),
Executive's estate shall be paid, in a lump-sum payable within
two months following the date of death of Executive, such amount
as Executive would have received had he retired from Newmont on
the date of his death.
4. Paragraph 4 of the Agreement is hereby revised by adding a new
subparagraph (viii) to read as follows:
Until Executive's death, Newmont will provide Executive with
reasonable office and secretarial support on an "as required"
basis through Newmont's corporate headquarters office (presently
in Denver, Colorado) or such other location as shall be mutually
agreed upon by Executive and Newmont from time to time.
5. Paragraph 5(iii) of the Agreement is hereby revised to read as
follows:
Newmont may terminate Executive's employment hereunder without
Cause and without breach on the part of Executive at any time
after giving 90 days' advance written notice to Executive, or
such shorter period as may be mutually agreed to by the parties.
If Executive's employment is terminated by Newmont without Cause
and without breach on the part of Executive:
(a) Executive will receive in a lump sum within ten (10)
business days following delivery of such notice to Executive an
amount in cash equal to his salary for the termination notice
period, and without any discount by reason of early payment,
reduced by the amount of the severance pay benefit payable in
cash to Executive (other than any cash payment for unused accrued
vacation time) under Newmont's Severance Pay Plan and any taxes
required to be withheld.
(b) Executive will continue to participate in Newmont's
health and accident plans and other welfare plans (i) until the
end of the termination notice period, and (ii) thereafter to the
extent such plans provide benefits for retired employees whether
or not Executive's pension is deferred.
(c) Executive will continue to enjoy all rights created
pursuant to the Pension Plan of Newmont, the Pension Equalization
Plan of Newmont and the non-qualified retirement benefits
provided under paragraph 4(vii). For purposes of such Pension
Plan, Pension Equalization Plan, the non-qualified retirement
benefits provided under paragraph 4(vii) and each other policy or
plan applicable to Executive, all compensation payments under
this Agreement shall be considered as salary payments for
-2-
compensated service during the termination notice period, and
such notice period shall be included in determining service and
credited service.
(d) Executive's rights in all amounts contributed by
Newmont pursuant to the Newmont Employees Savings Plan will be
deemed vested (to the extent not already vested) upon the
termination of Executive's employment and Newmont shall pay to
Executive such amounts after such termination in accordance with
the terms of the Plan and applicable law. These amounts will
include any contributions which would have been made by Newmont
during the termination notice period, based upon (i) Executive's
compensation, as defined in such Plan, for the twelve months
immediately preceding his termination and (ii) Executive's
contribution elections in effect as of the close of the year
immediately preceding his termination. Newmont will pay such
amounts directly to Executive to the extent such contributions
cannot be paid to Executive from the Plan under applicable law.
6. Paragraph 5(v) is hereby revised to read as follows:
Executive may voluntarily resign from Newmont in the absence of a
breach by Newmont of any of its commitments set forth in
paragraph 2 or 4 of this Agreement after giving 90 days' advance
written notice of his intention to resign, or such shorter period
as may be mutually agreed to by the parties. In such event,
Executive will be entitled to the benefits provided in Paragraph
5(iii)(a)-(d) in respect of such notice period.
7. All of the other provisions of the Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Newmont and Executive have caused this Amendment No. 2
