NEWMONT MINING CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)

(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Newmont Mining Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Newmont” or the “Company”) are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim statements have been included. The results reported in these interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. These interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with Newmont’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, filed February 26, 2007.

References to “A$” refer to Australian currency, “CDN$” to Canadian currency, “IDR” to Indonesian currency and “$” to United States currency.

Certain amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2006 have been reclassified to conform to the 2007 presentation. The Company has reclassified the income statement and cash flow statement amounts for the Zarafshan-Newmont Joint Venture operation from the historical presentation to discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Cash Flows for all periods presented.

(2) ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

Recently Adopted Pronouncements

Income Taxes

The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” (“FIN 48”) an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized a $72 increase in its net liability for unrecognized income tax benefits. The beginning balance of net deferred tax assets was reduced by $37 (primarily, as a result of utilization of foreign tax credits and net operating losses as part of the FIN 48 measurement process, offset, in part, by the impact of the interaction of the Alternative Minimum Tax rules), goodwill increased by $5, minority interest increased by $4, and retained earnings decreased by $108. In addition, the Company reclassified $16 of income tax liabilities from current to non-current liabilities because payment of cash is not anticipated within one year of the balance sheet date. At January 1, 2007, the Company had $267 of total gross unrecognized tax benefits. Of this, $202 represents the amount of net unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective income tax rate.

The Company’s continuing practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of its income tax expense. The Company had $13 accrued for interest at January 1, 2007. This amount has been considered in the statement of financial position as part of the cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings.

The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states and in foreign jurisdictions. With limited exception, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local income or non-U.S. income tax audits by taxing authorities for years through 1999.

Recently Issued Pronouncements

Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities

In February 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“FAS 159”). FAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value, with the objective of improving financial reporting by mitigating volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The provisions of FAS 159 are effective for the Company’s year ending December 31, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this statement will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and disclosures.

Fair Value Measurements

In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurement. The provisions of FAS 157 are effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this statement will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and disclosures.

(6) INCOME TAXES

The Company operates in numerous countries around the world and accordingly it is subject to, and pays annual income taxes under, the various income tax regimes in the countries in which it operates. Some of these tax regimes are defined by contractual agreements with the local government, and others are defined by the general corporate income tax laws of the country. The Company has historically filed, and continues to file, all required income tax returns and to pay the taxes reasonably determined to be due. The tax rules and regulations in many countries are highly complex and subject to interpretation. From time to time the Company is subject to a review of its historic income tax filings and in connection with such reviews, disputes can arise with the taxing authorities over the interpretation or application of certain rules to the Company’s business conducted within the country involved. The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” (“FIN 48”) an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting and reporting for uncertainties in income tax law. The interpretation prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. Refer to “Recently Adopted Pronouncements” for the discussion regarding the cumulative effect of adopting FIN 48.

In December 2006, the Company entered into an in-principle heads of agreement with the Australian Taxation Office (“ATO”). The heads of agreement specifies the terms of a proposed settlement of the outstanding audit issues relating to Normandy for the tax years 1994-1999. The issues relate to years before the Company acquired Normandy. At the date of the business combination, Normandy had recorded no income tax liability with respect to the tax positions taken in reporting certain transactions, therefore the Company’s initial best estimate of the income tax contingency relating to these issues was recorded as a tax liability at the date of acquisition, February 15, 2002, by increasing the purchase price of Normandy. At December 31, 2006, the long-term income tax liability balance relating to this proposed settlement was reclassified to current income taxes payable and remains outstanding at March 31, 2007.

(7) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Discontinued operations include the Company’s 50% interest in the Zarafshan-Newmont Joint Venture, expropriated by the Uzbekistan government in August 2006, and the Holloway mine sold in November 2006. The Company has reclassified the income statement results from the historical presentation to Income from discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented. The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have been reclassified for discontinued operations for all periods presented.

The following table details selected financial information included in Income from discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income:

(8) SALES CONTRACTS, COMMODITY AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, losses of $2 and $24, respectively, were included in Other income, net for the ineffective portion of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges. The amount anticipated to be reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive income to income for derivative instruments during the next 12 months is a gain of approximately $6. The maximum period over which hedged forecasted transactions are expected to occur is 4 years.

Newmont had the following derivative contracts outstanding at March 31, 2007:

	Expected Maturity Date						Fair Value

⁽¹⁾ 56.25% guaranteed by Newmont, 43.75% guaranteed by an affiliate of Sumitomo Corporation, delivered in the first quarter of 2007, awaiting final settlement.

⁽²⁾ The fair value does not include amounts payable ($20) on derivative contracts that were closed out in March 2007 with the net settlement due in April 2007.

⁽³⁾ The fair value does not include amounts payable ($24) on derivative contracts that were closed out in December 2006 with the net settlement due and paid in January 2007.

Provisional Copper and Gold Sales

The Company’s provisional copper and gold 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 copper concentrates at the forward London Metal Exchange price at the time of sale. The embedded derivative, which does not qualify for hedge accounting, is marked to market through earnings each period prior to final settlement.

At March 31, 2007 and 2006, Batu Hijau had the following gross revenues before treatment and refining charges subject to final price adjustments:

	At March 31,
	2007			2006
Gross revenue subject to final price adjustments
Copper	$	386		$	377
Gold	$	33		$	15
The average final price adjustments realized were as follows:
	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2007			2006
Average final price adjustments
Copper		(19	)%		26	%
Gold		2	%		9	%

Price-Capped Forward Sales Contracts

In 2001, Newmont entered into transactions that closed out certain call options. The options were replaced with a series of forward sales contracts requiring physical delivery of the same quantity of gold over slightly extended future periods. Under the terms of the contracts, Newmont will realize the lower of the spot price on the delivery date or the capped price, ranging from $381 to $392 per ounce. The initial fair value of the forward sales contracts was recorded as deferred revenue. At March 31, 2007, $47 remained in deferred revenue and will be included in revenue as delivery occurs. The forward sales contracts are accounted for as normal sales contracts under SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and SFAS No. 138 “Accounting for

Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities-an Amendment to SFAS No. 133.” The fair value of these contracts are not included on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Newmont had the following price-capped forward sales contracts outstanding at March 31, 2007:

	Scheduled Maturity Date or Transaction Date								Fair Value
	2008		2009		2011		Total/ Average		At March 31, 2007			At December 31, 2006

Average price	$	384	$	381	$	392	$	384

Interest Rate Swap Contracts

At March 31, 2007, Newmont had $100 fixed to floating swap contracts designated as a hedge against a portion of its $275 8 5/8% debentures expiring in 2011. Under the hedge contract terms, the Company receives fixed-rate interest payments at 8.625% and pays floating-rate interest amounts based on periodic London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) settings plus a spread, ranging from 2.60% to 3.49%. For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, these transactions had an insignificant impact on interest expense. The fair value of the interest rate swaps was $(1) and $1 at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

(9) INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Basic income per common share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income per common share is computed similarly to basic income per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued.

During the first quarter of 2007, Newmont acquired an additional interest in Gabriel Resources for approximately $27, obtained Oxiana Ltd. shares following the acquisition of Agincourt Resources by Oxiana Ltd., recognizing a $27 gain, and recognized a $6 impairment of its investment in Queenstake Resources Ltd. for an other-than-temporary decline in value of marketable equity securities and warrants. During the quarter, the unrealized value of the Company’s investments in marketable equity securities declined by $128, primarily related to a decline in the value of Canadian Oil Sands Trust.

(21) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

General

The Company follows FAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” in determining its accruals and disclosures with respect to loss contingencies. Accordingly, estimated loss contingencies are accrued by a charge to income when information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable (greater than a 75% probability) 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 loss contingency 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 segments are identified in Note 19. Except as noted in this paragraph, all of the Company’s commitments and contingencies specifically described in this Note 21 relate to the Corporate and Other reportable segment. The Nevada Operations matters under Newmont USA Limited relate to the Nevada reportable segment. The PT Newmont Minahasa Raya matters relate to the Other Operations reportable segment. The Yanacocha matters relate to the Yanacocha reportable segment. The Newmont Yandal Operations Pty Limited and the Newmont Australia Limited matters relate to the Australia/New Zealand reportable segment.

Environmental Matters

The Company’s mining and exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are continually changing and are generally becoming more restrictive. The Company conducts its operations so as to protect the public health and environment and believes its operations are in compliance with applicable laws and regulations in all material respects. The Company has made, and expects to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations, but cannot predict the full amount of such future expenditures.

Estimated future reclamation costs are based principally on legal and regulatory requirements. At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, $522 and $520, respectively, were accrued for reclamation costs relating to mineral properties in accordance with FAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” See Note 17.

In addition, the Company is involved in several matters concerning environmental obligations associated with former mining activities. Generally, these matters concern developing and implementing remediation plans at the various sites involved. The Company believes that the related environmental obligations associated with these sites are similar in nature with respect to the development of remediation plans, their risk profile and the compliance required to meet general environmental standards. Based upon the Company’s best estimate of its liability for these matters, $81 and $85 were accrued for such obligations at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. These amounts are included in Other current liabilities and Reclamation and remediation liabilities. Depending upon the ultimate resolution of these matters, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the liability for these matters could be as much as 93% greater or 28% lower than the amount accrued at March 31, 2007. The amounts accrued for these matters are reviewed periodically based upon facts and circumstances available at the time. Changes in estimates are recorded in Other expense, net in the period estimates are revised.

Details about certain of the more significant matters involved are discussed below.

Dawn Mining Company LLC (“Dawn”) - 51% Newmont Owned

Midnite Mine 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 United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”).

In 1991, Dawn’s mining lease at the mine was terminated. As a result, Dawn was required to file a formal mine closure and reclamation plan. The Department of Interior commenced an analysis of Dawn’s proposed plan and alternate closure and reclamation plans for the mine. Work on this analysis has been suspended indefinitely. In mid-2000, the mine was included on the National Priorities List under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”). In March 2003, the EPA notified Dawn and Newmont that it had thus far expended $12 on the Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study under CERCLA

22

NEWMONT MINING CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)

(“RI/FS”). In October 2005, the EPA issued the RI/FS on this property in which it indicated a preferred remedy estimated to cost approximately $150. Newmont and Dawn filed comments on the RI/FS with the EPA in January 2006. On October 3, 2006, the EPA issued a final Record of Decision in which it formally selected the preferred remedy identified in the RI/FS.

On January 28, 2005, the EPA filed a lawsuit against Dawn and Newmont under CERCLA in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington. The EPA has asserted that Dawn and Newmont are liable for reclamation or remediation work and costs at the mine. Dawn does not have sufficient funds to pay for the reclamation plan it proposed or for any alternate plan, or for any additional remediation work or costs at the mine. Newmont intends to vigorously contest any claims as to its liability.

Newmont cannot reasonably predict the likelihood or outcome of this lawsuit or any other action against Dawn or Newmont arising from this matter.

Dawn Mill Site. Dawn also owns a uranium mill site facility, located on private land near Ford, Washington, which is subject to state and federal regulation. In late 1999, Dawn sought and later received state approval for a revised closure plan that expedites the reclamation process at the site. The currently approved plan for the site is guaranteed by Newmont.

Idarado Mining Company (“Idarado”) - 80.1% Newmont Owned

In July 1992, Newmont and Idarado signed a consent decree with the State of Colorado (“State”), which was agreed to by the U.S. District Court of Colorado, to settle a lawsuit brought by the State under CERCLA.

Idarado agreed in the consent decree to undertake specified remediation work at its former mining site in the Telluride/Ouray area of Colorado. Remediation work at this property is substantially complete. If the remediation does not achieve specific performance objectives defined in the consent decree, the State may require Idarado to implement supplemental activities at the site, also as defined in the consent decree. Idarado and Newmont obtained a $6 reclamation bond to secure their potential obligations under the consent decree. In addition, Idarado settled natural resources damages and past and future response costs, and agreed to habitat enhancement work under the consent decree. All of this work is substantially complete.

Newmont Capital Limited - 100% Newmont Owned

In February 1999, the EPA placed the Lava Cap mine site in Nevada County, California on the National Priorities List under CERCLA. The EPA then initiated a RI/FS under CERCLA to determine environmental conditions and remediation options at the site.

Newmont Capital, formerly known as Franco-Nevada Mining Corporation, Inc., owned the property for approximately three years from 1984 to 1986 but never mined or conducted exploration at the site. The EPA asserts that Newmont Capital is responsible for clean up costs incurred at the site. Newmont Capital and the EPA have entered into an agreement tolling the statute of limitations until December 31, 2007 to facilitate on-going settlement negotiations with respect to potential claims under CERCLA. Based on Newmont Capital’s limited involvement at Lava Cap, it does not believe it has any liability for environmental conditions at the site, and intends to vigorously defend any formal claims by the EPA. Newmont cannot reasonably predict the likelihood or outcome of any future action arising from this matter.

Newmont USA Limited - 100% Newmont Owned

Pinal Creek. Newmont is a defendant in a lawsuit brought on November 5, 1991 in U.S. District Court in Arizona by the Pinal Creek Group, alleging that the company and others are responsible for some portion of costs incurred to address groundwater contamination emanating from copper mining operations located in the area of Globe and Miami, Arizona. Two former subsidiaries of Newmont, Pinto Valley Copper Corporation and Magma Copper Company (now known as BHP Copper Inc.), owned some of the mines in the area between 1983 and 1987. The court has dismissed plaintiffs’ claims seeking to hold Newmont liable for the acts or omissions of its former subsidiaries. Based on information presently available, Newmont believes it has strong defenses to plaintiffs’ remaining claims, including, without limitation, that Newmont’s agents did not participate in any pollution causing activities; that Newmont’s liabilities, if any, were contractually transferred to one of the plaintiffs; that portions of plaintiffs’ claimed damages are not recoverable; and that Newmont’s equitable share of liability, if any, would be immaterial. While Newmont has denied liability and is vigorously defending these claims, we cannot reasonably predict the final outcome of this lawsuit.

Grass Valley. On February 3, 2004, the City of Grass Valley, California brought suit against Newmont under CERCLA in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. This matter involves an abandoned mine adit on property previously owned

23

NEWMONT MINING CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)

by a predecessor of Newmont and currently owned by the City of Grass Valley. The complaint alleges that the adit is discharging metals-bearing water into a stream on the property, in concentrations in excess of current EPA drinking water standards. Newmont cannot reasonably predict the likely outcome of this matter.

Gray Eagle Mine Site. By letter dated September 3, 2002, the EPA notified Newmont that the EPA had expended $3 in response costs to address environmental conditions associated with a historic tailings pile located at the Grey Eagle Mine site near Happy Camp, California, and requested that Newmont pay those costs. The EPA has identified four potentially responsible parties, including Newmont. Newmont does not believe it has any liability for environmental conditions at the Grey Eagle Mine site, and intends to vigorously defend any formal claims by the EPA. Newmont cannot reasonably predict the likelihood or outcome of any future action against it arising from this matter.

PT Newmont Minahasa Raya (“PTNMR”) - 80% Newmont Owned

In July 2004, a criminal complaint was filed against PTNMR, the Newmont subsidiary that operated the Minahasa mine in Indonesia, alleging environmental pollution relating to submarine tailings placement into nearby Buyat Bay. The Indonesian police detained five PTNMR employees during September and October of 2004. The police investigation and the detention of PTNMR’s employees was declared illegal by the South Jakarta District Court in December 2004, but in March 2005, the Indonesian Supreme Court upheld the legality of the police investigation, and the police turned their evidence over to the local prosecutor. In July 2005, the prosecutor filed an indictment against PTNMR and its President Director, alleging environmental pollution at Buyat Bay. After the court rejected motions to dismiss the proceeding, the trial proceeded and all evidence, including that of the defense, was presented in court as of September 2006. In November 2006 the prosecution filed its charge, seeking a three-year jail sentence for PTNMR’s President Director plus a nominal fine. In addition, the prosecution has recommended a nominal fine against PTNMR. The defense filed responses in January 2007, and final briefing was completed in March 2007. On April 24, 2007, the court entered its verdict acquitting PTNMR and its President Director of all charges.

On March 9, 2005, the Indonesian Ministry of the Environment filed a civil lawsuit against PTNMR and its President Director in relation to these allegations, seeking in excess of $100 in monetary damages. In October 2005, PTNMR filed an objection to the court’s jurisdiction, contending that the Government previously agreed to resolve any disputes through out-of-court conciliation or arbitration. The Court upheld PTNMR’s objection and dismissed the case in November 2005. The Government filed a notice of appeal of this ruling. On February 16, 2006, PTNMR and the Government of the Republic of Indonesia signed an agreement settling the civil lawsuit. Under the terms of the agreement, the Government and PTNMR will nominate members to an independent scientific panel that will develop and implement a ten-year environmental monitoring and assessment program to make a definitive, scientific conclusion regarding the condition of Buyat Bay. PTNMR is required to fund specific remedial measures if, as a result of its mining operations, pollution has occurred. The agreement also provides for enhanced community development programs in North Sulawesi. PTNMR provided initial funding of $12 to cover the cost of the monitoring and community development programs paid in the first quarter of 2007 and which was included in Other current liabilities at December 31, 2006. Over a ten-year period, PTNMR will contribute an additional $18. The present value of $13 is included in Other long-term liabilities at December 31, 2006. The funds will be managed by an organization governed by interested stakeholders. Accountability for the fund will be ensured through yearly reports that will be made available to the public. The transparency of the scientific panel’s activities will also be assured through annual reports to the public. Pursuant to the agreement, the civil lawsuit against PTNMR has been terminated. The scientific panel held its first meeting in February 2007 and has now commenced its work program.

Independent sampling and testing of Buyat Bay water and fish, as well as area residents, conducted by the World Health Organization and the Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, confirm that PTNMR has not polluted the Buyat Bay environment, and, therefore, has not adversely affected the fish in Buyat Bay or the health of nearby residents. The Company remains steadfast that it has not caused pollution or health problems and will continue to vigorously defend itself against these allegations.

Resurrection Mining Company (“Resurrection”) - 100% Newmont Owned

Newmont, Resurrection and other defendants were named in lawsuits filed by the State of Colorado under CERCLA in 1983, which were subsequently consolidated with a lawsuit filed by EPA in 1986. These proceedings sought to compel the defendants to remediate the impacts of pre-existing, historic mining activities near Leadville, Colorado, which date back to the mid-1800s, and which the government agencies claim were causing substantial environmental problems in the area.

24

NEWMONT MINING CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)

In 1988 and 1989, the EPA issued administrative orders with respect to one area on the site and the defendants have collectively implemented those orders by constructing a water treatment plant, which was placed in operation in early 1992. Remaining remedial work for this area consists of water treatment plant operation and continuing environmental monitoring and maintenance activities. Newmont and Resurrection are currently responsible for 50% of these costs, but their share of such costs could increase in the event other defendants become unable to pay their share of such costs. On August 9, 2005, ASARCO LLC, the party responsible for the other 50% of these costs, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas. The company is evaluating the effect that the ASARCO bankruptcy could have on its obligations.

The parties also have entered into a consent decree with respect to the remaining areas at the site, which apportions liabilities and responsibilities for these areas. The EPA has approved remedial actions for selected components of Resurrection’s portion of the site, which were initiated in 1995. The EPA has not yet selected the final remedy for the site. Accordingly, Newmont cannot yet determine the full extent or cost of its share of the remedial action that will be required. The government agencies may also seek to recover for damages to natural resources. In March 1999, the parties entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) to facilitate the settlement of natural resources damages claims under CERCLA for the upper Arkansas River Basin. In January 2004, an MOU report was issued that evaluated the extent of natural resource damages and possible restoration activities that might be required, which Resurrection and other parties could potentially be required to fund.

Other Legal Matters

Minera Yanacocha S.R.L. (“Yanacocha”) - 51.35% Newmont Owned

Choropampa. In June 2000, a transport contractor of Yanacocha spilled approximately 151 kilograms of elemental mercury near the town of Choropampa, Peru, which is located 53 miles (85 kilometers) southwest of the Yanacocha mine. Elemental mercury is not used in Yanacocha’s operations but is a by-product of gold mining and was sold to a Lima firm for use in medical instruments and industrial applications. A comprehensive health and environmental remediation program was undertaken by Yanacocha in response to the incident. In August 2000, Yanacocha paid under protest a fine of 1,740,000 Peruvian soles (approximately $0.5) to the Peruvian government. Yanacocha has entered into settlement agreements with a number of individuals impacted by the incident. As compensation for the disruption and inconvenience caused by the incident Yanacocha entered into agreements with and provided a variety of public works in the three communities impacted by this incident. Yanacocha cannot predict the likelihood of additional expenditures related to this matter.

Yanacocha, various wholly-owned subsidiaries of Newmont, and other defendants have been named in lawsuits filed by approximately 1,100 Peruvian citizens in Denver District Court for the State of Colorado. These actions seek compensatory damages based on claims associated with the elemental mercury spill incident. In February 2005, Yanacocha and the various Newmont defendants answered the complaint in the Denver District Court. The parties in these cases have agreed to submit these matters to binding arbitration.

Additional lawsuits relating to the Choropampa incident were filed against Yanacocha in the local courts of Cajamarca, Peru, in May 2002 by over 900 Peruvian citizens. A significant number of the plaintiffs in these lawsuits entered into settlement agreements with Yanacocha prior to filing such claims. In September 2006, the Peruvian Supreme Court issued contradictory opinions on the validity of these settlement agreements. Subsequent lower court decisions have upheld the validity of these settlement agreements, discharging a number of the lawsuits. In 2005, Yanacocha entered into settlement agreements with approximately 350 additional plaintiffs.

Neither Newmont nor Yanacocha can reasonably predict the final outcome of any of the above-described lawsuits.

Conga. Yanacocha is involved in a dispute with the Provincial Municipality of Celendin regarding the authority of that governmental body to regulate the development of the Conga project. In the fourth quarter of 2004, the Municipality of Celendin enacted an ordinance declaring the area around Conga to be a mining-free reserve and naturally protected area. Yanacocha has challenged this ordinance on the grounds that, under Peruvian law, local governments lack authority to create such areas and deny the rights granted by Yanacocha’s mining concessions. Based on legal precedent established by Peru's Constitutional Tribunal, it is reasonable to believe that Yanacocha’s mining rights will be upheld.

Yanacocha has carefully evaluated the social issues and dynamics of the communities in and around the area of Conga. Yanacocha has engaged in extensive community and external affairs efforts at this early stage of the Conga project. It is Yanacocha’s current assessment that a significant percentage of the population in the communities immediately surrounding the Conga area support the project. Yanacocha will continue to engage actively with these communities during the process of permitting the project, and will expand its outreach efforts to communities in the surrounding region. It will continually monitor and evaluate conditions in the area and any resulting impact on Yanacocha’s ability to successfully permit and develop the Conga project.

Newmont Mining Corporation

On June 8, 2005, UFCW Local 880 – Retail Food Employers Joint Pension Fund filed a putative class action in the federal district court in Colorado purportedly on behalf of purchasers of Newmont Mining Corporation (“Newmont”) publicly traded securities between July 28, 2004 and April 26, 2005. The action named Newmont, Wayne W. Murdy, Pierre Lassonde and Bruce D. Hansen as defendants. Substantially similar purported class actions were filed in the same court on June 15, 2005 by John S. Chapman and on June 20, 2005 by Zoe Myerson. In November 2005, the court consolidated these cases and, in March 2006, appointed a lead plaintiff. In April 2006, the lead plaintiff filed a consolidated amended complaint naming David Francisco, Russell Ball, Thomas Enos and Robert Gallagher as additional defendants. It alleged, among other things, that Newmont and the individual defendants violated certain antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws by failing to disclose alleged operating deficiencies and sought unspecified monetary damages and other relief. On October 20, 2006, the lead plaintiff, on behalf of a settlement class consisting of all purchasers of Newmont securities from November 1, 2003, through and including March 23, 2006 (except defendants and certain related persons), entered into a Stipulation of Settlement with defendants. If approved by the Court, the Settlement (a) would release all claims asserted, or that could have been asserted, in the action; (b) would provide for a payment by Newmont of $15 to be distributed to class members pursuant to a plan of allocation developed by the lead plaintiff; and (c) would provide that all defendants deny any wrongdoing or liability with respect to the settled matters. The parties have moved for preliminary approval of the settlement, but the court has not ruled on the motion. Gideon Minerals, U.S.A., Inc. ("Gideon") has sought to intervene to bring a claim alleging that Gideon has an interest in the Batu Hijau operation in Indonesia; the court has denied that motion. Gideon subsequently filed a substantially similar motion and moved for default judgment; the court has also denied this motion and has required Gideon to show cause as to why it should not be sanctioned in relation to its filings.

On June 14, 2005, June 30, 2005 and July 1, 2005, purported derivative actions were filed, on behalf of Newmont, by Doris Staehr, Frank J. Donio and Jack G. Blaz, respectively, in the federal district court in Colorado against certain of Newmont’s current and former directors and officers. Each action alleged that certain defendants breached their fiduciary duties by engaging in insider trading and misappropriation of information, and that all defendants breached their fiduciary duties and engaged in conduct that constituted abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets and unjust enrichment in connection with, among other things, failing to disclose alleged operating deficiencies and failing to prevent alleged violations of environmental laws in Indonesia. The plaintiffs seek, on behalf of Newmont, among other remedies, all damages sustained by the Company as a result of the allegedly improper conduct. In November 2005, the court consolidated these cases and in December 2005 the court appointed a lead plaintiff. On April 10, 2006, the lead plaintiff filed a consolidated amended complaint. This action has been administratively closed without prejudice to any party filing a motion to reopen prior to June 19, 2007. The defendants deny the claims made and, should the case be re-opened, intend to vigorously defend against them. The Company cannot reasonably predict the final outcome of these cases. In a related development, on January 13, 2006, a purported Newmont shareholder sent to the Board of Directors a letter demanding the Company take action against the defendants in the purported derivative actions with respect to the matters alleged in the derivative complaints. The Board has taken the demand under consideration. Counsel for plaintiffs in the derivative actions, counsel for the demanding shareholder and the Company have agreed to settle the action and related disputes on the basis of certain revisions to the Company's corporate governance arrangements, and an attorneys' fee to be paid by the Company. This settlement is subject to court approval.

Newmont Yandal Operations Pty Ltd (“NYOL”)—100% Newmont Owned

On September 3, 2003, J. Aron & Co. commenced proceedings in the Supreme Court of New South Wales (Australia) against NYOL, its subsidiaries and the administrator in relation to the completed voluntary administration of the NYOL group. J. Aron & Co., an NYOL creditor, initially sought injunctive relief that was denied by the court on September 8, 2003. On October 30, 2003, J. Aron & Co. filed a statement of claim alleging various deficiencies in the implementation of the voluntary administration process and seeking damages and other relief against NYOL and other parties. Newmont cannot reasonably predict the final outcome of this lawsuit.

Zarafshan-Newmont Joint Venture—50% Newmont Owned

In June 2006, an economic court in Uzbekistan ruled in favor of tax authorities and against the Zarafshan-Newmont Joint Venture (“ZNJV”), which is 50% owned by the Company, on two claims to collect approximately $48 in taxes other than income taxes. The tax authorities argued that Decree 151, which protected ZNJV from changes in tax laws and provided other financial and operational benefits, became ineffective and that the taxes and penalties claimed were owed for the period 2002-2005. Decree 151 had been granted by the Republic of Uzbekistan in 1992 as an incentive for the Company’s investment in ZNJV. The benefits it provided, including the stability of the tax and legal regime in effect at that time, were guaranteed to remain in effect for so long as ZNJV had ongoing operations.

On July 26, 2006, the Republic of Uzbekistan caused the seizure of gold, silver and unfinished product belonging to ZNJV. On August 14, 2006, the Company received notice that the economic court had accepted the petition of an agency of the Republic of Uzbekistan to institute a bankruptcy proceeding against ZNJV. Neither ZNJV nor the Company received advance notice that the petition was filed or that a hearing would be held. The court ordered “supervisory measures” restricting normal operations, including the export of gold or repayment of loans, without the approval of a court-appointed temporary administrator, who has been overseeing all operations of ZNJV.

At a September 19, 2006 meeting of the ZNJV creditor’s committee, which was principally composed of government representatives, the committee voted to liquidate ZNJV. On September 29, 2006, the economic court concluded that ZNJV was insolvent and ordered ZNJV to be liquidated by December 29, 2006. At this hearing, representatives of ZNJV and the Company were denied an opportunity to present the case against liquidation. The remaining assets of ZNJV are anticipated to be liquidated to pay the tax liabilities that have been imposed on ZNJV by the Republic of Uzbekistan, resulting in the effective transfer to the Republic of Uzbekistan of the Company’s interest in ZNJV. The liquidation sale has been postponed three times, and is now scheduled for May 2007. Despite the Company’s demands for compensation for the losses it has suffered, the Republic of Uzbekistan has refused to provide such compensation. On October 31, 2006, the Company filed demands for arbitration against the Republic of Uzbekistan in two separate international venues on the basis that the Republic of Uzbekistan repudiated its obligations to the Company under Decree 151, Uzbek and international law, and various agreements. The Uzbekistan parties to the joint venture agreement are also named as defendants in one of these proceedings. The Company and the defendants have appointed the arbitrators for both proceedings. At September 30, 2006, the Company wrote off the book value of its ownership interest in ZNJV. The ultimate outcome of this matter cannot be determined at this time.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

Tax contingencies are provided for under FIN 48. See Notes 2 and 6.

In a 1993 asset exchange, a wholly-owned subsidiary transferred a coal lease under which the subsidiary had collected advance royalty payments totaling $484. From 1994 to 2018, remaining advance payments under the lease to the transferee total $390. In the event of title failure as stated in the lease, this subsidiary has a primary obligation to refund previously collected payments and has a secondary obligation to refund any of the $390 collected by the transferee, if the transferee fails to meet its refund obligation. The subsidiary has title insurance on the leased coal deposits of $240 covering the secondary obligation. The Company and the subsidiary regard the circumstances entitling the lessee to a refund as remote.

The Company has minimum royalty obligations on one of its producing mines in Nevada for the life of the mine. Amounts paid as a minimum royalty (where production royalties are less than the minimum obligation) in any year are recoverable in future years when the minimum royalty obligation is exceeded. Although the minimum royalty requirement may not be met in a particular year, the Company expects that over the mine life, gold production will be sufficient to meet the minimum royalty requirements. Minimum royalty payments payable are $8 for 2007, $13 for 2008, $2 in 2009 and 2010, $18 in 2011 and $98 thereafter.

As part of its ongoing business and operations, the Company and its affiliates are required to provide surety bonds, bank letters of credit and bank guarantees as financial support for various purposes, including environmental reclamation, exploration permitting, workers compensation programs and other general corporate purposes. At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, there were $475 and $445, respectively, of outstanding letters of credit, surety bonds and bank guarantees. The surety bonds, letters of credit and bank guarantees reflect fair value as a condition of their underlying purpose and are subject to fees competitively determined in the market place. The obligations associated with these instruments are generally related to performance requirements that the Company addresses through its ongoing operations. As the specific requirements are met, the beneficiary of the associated instrument cancels and/or returns the instrument to the issuing entity. Certain of these instruments are associated with operating sites with long-lived

assets and will remain outstanding until closure. Generally, bonding requirements associated with environmental regulation are becoming more restrictive. In addition, the surety markets for certain types of environmental bonding used by the Company have become increasingly constrained. The Company, however, believes it is in compliance with all applicable bonding obligations and will be able to satisfy future bonding requirements, through existing or alternative means, as they arise.

Under the Batu Hijau Contract of Work with the Indonesian government, beginning in 2005, and continuing through 2010, a portion of each foreign shareholders’ equity interest in the project must be offered for sale to the Indonesian government or to Indonesian nationals. The price at which such interest must be offered for sale to the Indonesian parties is the highest of the then-current replacement cost, the price at which shares of the project company would be accepted for listing on the Jakarta Stock Exchange, or the fair market value of such interest in the project company as a going concern. Pursuant to this provision of the Batu Hijau Contract of Work, it is possible that the ownership interest of the Newmont/Sumitomo partnership in Batu Hijau could be reduced to 49% by the end of 2010.

A company owned by an Indonesian national currently owns a 20% equity interest in Batu Hijau, and the Newmont/Sumitomo partnership was required to offer a 3% interest in 2006. An offer to sell a 3% interest was made to the government of Indonesia. While the central government declined to participate, local governments in the area in which the mine is located have expressed interest in acquiring shares, as have various Indonesian nationals. The Newmont/Sumitomo partnership continues discussions with various interested parties to meet its divestiture obligations. Under the terms of the Contract of Work, an additional 7% interest in Batu Hijau was offered for sale in March 2007 to the government of Indonesia.

Newmont is from time to time involved in various legal proceedings related to its business. Except in the above-described proceedings, management does not believe that adverse decisions in any pending or threatened proceeding or that amounts that may be required to be paid by reason thereof will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

(22) SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges

The ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was 5.8. The ratio of earnings to fixed charges represents income from continuing operations before income tax expense, minority interest and equity income of affiliates, divided by interest expense. Interest expense includes amortization of capitalized interest and the portion of rent expense representative of interest. Interest expense does not include interest on income tax liabilities. The computation of the ratio of earnings to fixed charges can be found in Exhibit 12.1.

(23) SUBSEQUENT EVENT

Revolving Credit Facility

Effective April 24, 2007, the Company renegotiated the terms of its uncollateralized $1,250 revolving credit facility, increasing the facility amount to $2,000 and extending the maturity date to April 2012.

Buyat Bay

On April 24, 2007, an Indonesian court ruled that PTNMR and its President Director Richard Ness were innocent of all criminal charges of pollution and regulatory violations. The court further found that the Company was in compliance with all regulations and permits during its eight years of operations from 1996 to 2004.

Consolidated Financial Results

Newmont’s income from continuing operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 was $68, or $0.15 per share. Results for the first three months of 2007 compared to 2006 were impacted by fewer gold ounces sold and higher operating costs, partially offset by higher realized gold and copper prices, higher copper pounds sold, the gain realized on the exchange of Agincourt Resources equity securities for Oxiana Ltd. equity securities and the commencement of operations at the Ahafo mine in August 2006.

Reduction in consolidated ounces sold	$	(106	)
Increase in average realized gold price		157
Increase in treatment and refining charges		(3	)
	$	48

Sales—copper, net for the first quarter of 2007 increased $76, or 55%, compared to the first quarter of 2006 primarily due to higher realized prices and increased sales volumes. Hedge losses recognized during the first quarter of 2007 were lower than the first quarter of 2006 as the final deliveries were made under copper collar contracts. At March 31, 2007, 13 million pounds delivered under the contracts remain subject to final settlement. In the first quarter of 2006, a loss of $23 was included in Other income, net for the ineffective portion of copper hedges. For a complete discussion regarding variations in gold and copper volumes, see Results of Consolidated Operations below.

Costs applicable to sales increased $182 for gold and $63 for copper for the first quarter of 2007 compared to the first quarter of 2006, as detailed in the table below. The increase in the first quarter of 2007 is primarily due to new operations at Ahafo and Phoenix and Leeville in Nevada, increased input commodity prices, higher labor costs, higher waste removal costs and unfavorable exchange rate movements in the Australian dollar. For a complete discussion regarding variations in operations, see Results of Consolidated Operations below.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) increased for the first quarter of 2007 compared to the first quarter of 2006 as detailed in the table below, and primarily relates to increases from new operations at Ahafo and Phoenix and Leeville in Nevada, sales of inventory in Australia/NewZealand and the expansion of the mining fleet at Batu Hijau in the later half of 2006. Newmont expects 2007 DD&A to be approximately $800 to $865.

	$	192	$	140

Exploration increased $7, or 21% for the first quarter of 2007 compared to the first quarter of 2006. The increase was primarily a result of spending at the Fort a la Corne diamond joint venture in Canada and increased spending in Nevada. Newmont expects 2007 Exploration expense to be approximately $170 to $175.

Advanced projects, research and development and General and administrative expenses remained constant for the first quarter of 2007 compared to the first quarter of 2006. Newmont expects 2007 Advanced projects, research and development expenses to be approximately $85 to $100 and General and administrative expenses to be approximately $155 to $165.

Other expense, net increased by $8 for the first quarter of 2007 compared to the first quarter of 2006. The increase is primarily due to a $5 loss on an unfavorable natural gas supply agreement for the Company’s power plant in Western Australia.

33

Other income, net for the first quarter of 2007 and 2006 is summarized as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2007			2006
Gain on investments, net	$	27		$	1
Royalty and dividend income		31			29
Interest income		13			19

Loss on ineffective portion of derivative instruments, net		(2	)		(24	)
Foreign currency exchange (losses) gains, net		(5	)		3
Other		3			3
	$	67		$	35

Gain on investments, net includes a $27 gain resulting from Oxiana Ltd. shares obtained following the acquisition of Agincourt Resources by Oxiana Ltd., a $6 gain on the sale of other investments offset by a $6 write-down of the Company’s investment in Queenstake Resources Ltd.

Interest income decreased in 2007 due to a reduction in funds available for investment, partially offset by a higher return on funds invested.

Income from development projects in 2006 included revenue net of incremental operating costs incurred prior to commencement of commercial production at the Leeville and Phoenix operations in Nevada during the fourth quarter of 2006.

Loss on ineffective portion of derivative instruments, net included $2 for the ineffective portion of interest rate swap derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges in 2007. In 2006, the losses included $23 for the ineffective portion of copper collar contracts and $1 for interest rate swap derivative instruments each designated as cash flow hedges.

Interest expense, net increased in 2007 due to $200 debt issued at Yanacocha during 2006 and $3 lower capitalized interest. Capitalized interest decreased as a result of the completion of the Ahafo, Phoenix and Leeville development projects in 2006. Newmont expects 2007 Interest expense, net to be approximately $95 to $105.

Income tax expense during the first quarter of 2007 was $62 compared to $37 during the first quarter of 2006. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2007 was 33% compared to 11% for the first quarter of 2006. The 22% increase over the 2006 first quarter rate primarily relates to the following non-recurring discrete items occurring in 2006; (i) the Australian tax functional currency election, (ii) Ghanaian tax rate change, and (iii) the valuation allowance release on foreign tax credits. The effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2007 is different from the United States statutory rate of 35% primarily due to (i) U.S. percentage depletion, (ii) the valuation allowance release relative to the Company’s deferred tax asset for capital losses in Australia, and (iii) the effect of different income tax rates in countries where earnings are indefinitely reinvested. The effective tax rate in 2006 is different from the United States statutory rate of 35% primarily due to (i) U.S. percentage depletion, (ii) additional tax benefits associated with the change in Australian tax law regarding the ability of the company to file consolidated income tax returns, and (iii) the valuation allowance release relative to the Company’s deferred tax assets for post-retirement benefit obligations, the latter two being discrete non-recurring items. For a complete discussion of the factors that influence the Company’s effective tax rate, see Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition in Newmont’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, filed February 26, 2007. Newmont expects the 2007 full year tax rate to be approximately 29% to 34% assuming an average gold price of $650 per ounce.

In December 2006, the Company entered into an in-principle heads of agreement with the Australian Taxation Office (“ATO”). The heads of agreement specifies the terms of a proposed settlement of the outstanding audit issues relating to Normandy for the tax years 1994-1999. These issues relate to years before the Company acquired Normandy. At the date of the business combination, Normandy had recorded no income tax liability with respect to the tax positions taken in reporting certain transactions, therefore the Company’s initial best estimate of the income tax contingency relating to these issues was recorded as a tax liability at the date of acquisition, February 15, 2002, by increasing the purchase price of Normandy. At December 31, 2006, the long-term income tax liability balance relating to this proposed settlement was reclassified to current income taxes payable and remains outstanding at March 31, 2007.

The Income from discontinued operations in 2006 resulted from the Holloway and Zarafshan gold operations being discontinued from sale and expropriation, respectively. The Company reclassified the income statement results from the historical presentation to discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented (see Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

⁽²⁾ Excludes depreciation, depletion and amortization.

⁽³⁾ Consolidated gold ounces or copper pounds sold includes minority interests’ share.

Consolidated gold ounces sold decreased 11% in the first quarter of 2007 from 2006, primarily due to lower production at Yanacocha, partially offset by the commencement of operations at Ahafo in the third quarter of 2006 and Phoenix and Leeville in Nevada during the fourth quarter of 2006.

Consolidated copper pounds sold increased 12% in the first quarter of 2007 from 2006, primarily due to increased mill throughput, partially offset by lower recovery at Batu Hijau.

Costs applicable to sales per consolidated gold ounce sold increased 53% in the first quarter of 2007 from 2006, primarily due to the decrease in production, higher waste removal costs at Nevada, Yanacocha, Batu Hijau and Kalgoorlie (Australia/New Zealand) and high operating costs at Phoenix in Nevada. Also, the strengthening of the Australian dollar increased Consolidated Costs applicable to sales by $6 per ounce in the first quarter of 2007 compared to 2006. Costs applicable to sales per consolidated copper pound increased 73% in the first quarter of 2007 from 2006, primarily due to the increase in waste removal costs at Batu Hijau.

The Company expects consolidated gold sales of approximately 6.1 to 6.6 million ounces in 2007, primarily as a result of lower production from Yanacocha and Australia, as well as the completion of mining at Lone Tree in Nevada and lower remnant production from Golden Giant (Other operations). Costs applicable to sales per ounce for the full year in 2007 are expected to be approximately 25% higher than 2006, primarily from lower production at Yanacocha and Australia, as well as higher labor, consumables and energy prices in all operating regions. Additionally, continued operating difficulties at Phoenix, unfavorable exchange rate movements in Australia and potential power interruptions in Ghana could negatively impact the Company’s Costs applicable to sales in 2007.

The Company expects consolidated copper sales of approximately 400 to 435 million pounds of copper in 2007 at Costs applicable to sales of approximately $1.10 to $1.20 per pound.

Gold ounces sold in Nevada increased 5% in the first quarter of 2007 from 2006. Gold sales increased with the commencement of commercial production at Phoenix and Leeville in October of 2006. Open pit and underground ore mined increased to 11.1 million tons in the first quarter of 2007, up from 9.1 million tons in the first quarter of 2006. Mining at Phoenix and Leeville contributed to the increase in ore mined. Ore milled increased to 6.2 million tons from 3.6 million tons in the first quarter of 2006, although milled ore

grade decreased 28% with the processing of lower grade ore from Phoenix. Ore placed on leach pads decreased by 49% due to the completion of mining at Lone Tree in 2006 and fewer leach ore tons were processed at Carlin in the first quarter of 2007, as the ore mined contained a higher proportion of mill ore. Stockpile processing at the Lone Tree mill continued in the first quarter of 2007 and is expected to continue throughout the remainder of 2007. Incorporating the first quarter results summarized above, the Company continues to expect gold sales in Nevada of approximately 2.35 to 2.55 million ounces for 2007.

Phoenix optimization remains the primary risk influencing Nevada’s gold sales and Costs applicable to sales outlook for the year. During the quarter, Phoenix experienced lower than expected ore grade, tailings line restrictions, harder than anticipated ore and lower mill availability. The Company continues to evaluate solutions to address metallurgical and startup challenges related to oxide and transitional ores at Phoenix. Higher grades, throughput and recovery opportunities exist throughout the rest of the Nevada complex, particularly as Leeville continues to ramp up and as Twin Creeks begins mining ore from recently accessed laybacks.

Nevada’s Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 25% from $395 in the first quarter of 2006 to $493 per ounce in the first quarter of 2007. Higher cost production from Phoenix contributed to the increase in operating costs. Waste removal costs also increased due to accelerated mining at Pete, Gold Quarry and Twin Creeks. Costs for underground contracted services also increased at Leeville and Carlin East. Labor and input commodity cost escalation continued to impact operating costs. Depreciation, depletion and amortization per ounce increased 44% from the first quarter of 2006 as a result of increased investment in new equipment and facilities in 2006.

The Company continues to expect Costs applicable to sales of approximately $375 to $400 per ounce for 2007, provided that the current oxide and transitional ore issues at Phoenix are resolved. Unit costs during the first quarter of 2007 were above the expected range as a result of the higher cost production and lower by-product credits at Phoenix, as well as continued deployment of higher cost contracted underground and maintenance services. Contractor expenses are expected to decrease as Newmont employees are deployed for the remainder of the year. Ongoing challenges at Phoenix could result in Costs applicable to sales per ounce above the expected range for the year. During the second quarter of 2007, Costs applicable to sales per ounce will be temporarily impacted by the regularly planned annual maintenance at Mill 6. Potentially higher grades, improving throughput and increased recoveries at Leeville and Twin Creeks provide cost enhancement opportunities for the remainder of 2007.

Construction of the 200-megawatt coal-fired power plant was approximately 55% complete at March 31, 2007 and remains on schedule for completion in 2008. Anticipated capital costs for the power plant are expected to be between $620 and $640.

⁽²⁾ Excludes depreciation, depletion and amortization.

As expected, consolidated gold sales at Yanacocha decreased 41% in the first quarter of 2007 from the first quarter of 2006. Ore mined and placed on the leach pads decreased to 16.5 million tons in the first quarter of 2007 from 31.1 million tons in the first quarter of 2006. During the same periods, the amount of waste material mined increased to 29.7 million tons from 19.3 million tons as expected in the mine plan. Leached ore grade also decreased by 63% from 0.035 to 0.013 ounces per ton in the first quarter of 2007.

The Company continues to expect consolidated gold sales of approximately 1.5 to 1.6 million ounces for 2007. Higher than anticipated gold sales during the first quarter of 2007 resulted from sales of inventory on hand at year-end. Yanacocha’s gold sales for the remainder of the year could be adversely impacted by potentially higher waste removal rates and lower ore grades, while opportunities exist for inventory reductions and increased recoveries during the remainder of the year at La Quinua and Carachugo deposits.

Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased in the first quarter of 2007 to $310 per ounce from $161 per ounce in the first quarter of 2006, primarily due to higher waste removal, lower production and rising labor costs. Consumption of fuel, cyanide, chemicals and reagents decreased from the first quarter of 2006 as the volume of tons mined and placed on leach pads declined. The Company continues to expect Costs applicable to sales of approximately $340 to $360 per ounce for the full year. Increased recoveries could result in Costs applicable to sales per ounce towards the lower end of the expected range for the full year.

Construction of the gold mill at Yanacocha was approximately 56% complete at March 31, 2007. Progress on the gold mill continues as expected, with costs expected to be between $250 and $270 with completion anticipated by mid-2008.

Australia/New Zealand gold sales were essentially unchanged in the first quarter 2007 compared to 2006, primarily due to inventory sales and increased production at Pajingo offset by lower production at Martha, Tanami, Kalgoorlie and Jundee. Costs applicable to sales per ounce for the first quarter increased in 2007 from 2006 by 35%, primarily due to the decrease in production, increased royalties due to the higher gold price and increased input costs, particularly diesel, electricity and labor. Also, the strengthening of the Australian dollar increased Costs applicable to sales by $26 per ounce in the first quarter of 2007 compared to 2006.

Tanami, Australia. Gold ounces sold increased 5% in the first quarter of 2007 from 2006, primarily due to a reduction in inventories and 4% higher mill ore grade partially offset by an 11% decrease in mill throughput due to unplanned mill maintenance, as well as limited underground ore availability resulting from haul road flooding during the first quarter. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 27%, primarily due to higher ore hauling charges associated with longer hauling distances, as well increased royalties due to the higher gold price.

Kalgoorlie, Australia. Gold ounces sold remained constant in the first quarter of 2007 compared to 2006, as increased inventory sales offset lower production due to a 12% decrease in mill ore grade caused by lower than anticipated mining rates resulting from poor weather conditions and limited shovel availability. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 32%, primarily due to lower gold production and increased mining and milling costs.

Jundee, Australia. Gold ounces sold remained constant in the first quarter of 2007 compared to 2006, as increased inventory sales and a 7% increase in mill ore grade were offset by a 20% decrease in mill throughput and 4% lower mill recovery. Mill throughput decreased due to ball mill maintenance during the first quarter. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 37%, primarily attributable to increased maintenance and electricity costs, as well as higher drilling and technical service charges.

Pajingo, Australia. Gold ounces sold increased 50% in the first quarter of 2007 from 2006, due to a 19% increase in tons milled and a 16% increase in mill ore grade as mining and ground conditions continue to improve. Costs applicable to sales per ounce decreased 11%, primarily due to increased production.

Waihi (Martha), New Zealand. Gold ounces sold decreased 62% in the first quarter of 2007 from 2006, resulting from a planned mill suspension related to underground mine development at Favona and waste removal at the Martha open pit. Costs applicable to sales per ounce were higher due to the decrease in gold production and the planned transition to underground operations.

Incorporating first quarter results, the Company continues to expect gold sales in Australia/New Zealand of approximately 1.275 and 1.325 million ounces for 2007 at Costs applicable to sales of approximately $445 to $470 per ounce, excluding adverse changes in the Australian dollar exchange rate beyond a full year average rate of A$1.00:$0.77. Unfavorable changes in the Australian dollar exchange rate could result in operating costs for the region outside of the expected range for the full year, as a significant portion of costs are Australian dollar denominated. Costs applicable to sales in Australia/New Zealand are expected to change by approximately $5 to $6 per ounce for every $0.01 move in the Australian dollar exchange rate.

Development of the Boddington project remains on schedule and is approximately 33% complete, with start-up expected in late 2008 or early 2009. Newmont’s share of the expected capital cost remains between $900 and $1,100.

⁽¹⁾ Consolidated gold ounces or copper pounds sold includes minority interests’ share (Newmont has a 52.875% economic interest).

⁽²⁾ Excludes depreciation, depletion and amortization.

Consolidated copper and gold sales increased 12% and 15% in the first quarter of 2007 from 2006, respectively, primarily as a result of 11% higher mill throughput with an increase in stockpile material feed. Total tons mined increased by 6% compared to the first quarter of 2006 due to the addition of 26 haul trucks and a loading shovel. Waste material mined increased to 62.2 million tons from 29.0 million tons in the first quarter of 2006 due to a change in the short term mine plan that increased the amount of waste tons mined and decreased ore tons mined during the first quarter.

Incorporating first quarter results, the Company continues to expect consolidated gold and copper sales of approximately 435,000 to 475,000 ounces of gold and approximately 395 to 435 million pounds of copper in 2007. Higher grade and throughput opportunities exist for the remainder of 2007.

Costs applicable to sales increased 73% per pound of copper and 59% per ounce of gold in the first quarter of 2007 from 2006, as waste removal costs increased due to a change in the short term mine plan. Additionally, operating costs were impacted by higher mill throughput and stockpile re-handling costs. Increasing labor and input commodity prices continue to impact operating costs, as well as increased selling expenses and royalties due to higher average prices for both gold and copper.

The average realized copper price increased 32% to $2.74 per pound from $2.08 per pound in the prior year quarter, as the last remaining copper hedge contracts were delivered in February 2007.

The Company continues to expect Costs applicable to sales of approximately $225 to $240 per ounce of gold and $1.10 to $1.20 per pound of copper for the full year. Fewer waste tons are expected to be mined during the remainder of 2007, resulting in lower mining costs expensed for the full year compared to the first quarter of 2007. Additionally, a higher proportion of total operating costs could be allocated to Costs applicable to sales of gold if gold prices and gold sales volumes continue to increase at a higher rate than copper prices and sales volumes.

Under the Contract of Work, beginning in 2005 and continuing through 2010, a portion of the project must be offered for sale to the Indonesian government or to Indonesian nationals, equal to the difference between the following percentages and the percentage of shares already owned by the Indonesian government or Indonesian nationals (if such number is positive): 15%, by the end of 2005; 23%, by the end of 2006; 30%, by the end of 2007; 37%, by the end of 2008; 44%, by the end of 2009; and 51%, by the end of 2010. The price at which such interest must be offered for sale to the Indonesian parties is the highest of the then-current replacement cost, the price at which shares of the project company would be accepted for listing on the Jakarta Stock Exchange, or the fair market value of such interest in the project company as a going concern. Pursuant to this provision, it is possible that the ownership interest of the Newmont/Sumitomo partnership in Batu Hijau could be reduced to 49% by the end of 2010.

A company owned by an Indonesian national currently owns a 20% interest in Batu Hijau, and therefore the Newmont/Sumitomo partnership was required to offer a 3% interest for sale in 2006. An offer to sell a 3% interest was made to the government of Indonesia. While the central government declined to participate, local governments in the area in which the mine is located have expressed interest in acquiring shares, as have various Indonesian nationals. The Newmont/Sumitomo partnership continues discussions with various interested parties to meet its divestiture obligations. Under the terms of the Contract of Work, an additional 7% interest in Batu Hijau was offered for sale in March 2007 to the government of Indonesia.

⁽¹⁾ Excludes depreciation, depletion and amortization.

Ahafo sold 125,000 ounces in the first quarter of 2007. Mill throughput and gold production were in line with expectations. Ore mill grade of 0.063 ounces per ton was higher than expected during the first quarter of 2007. Costs applicable to sales were $341 per ounce for the first quarter of 2007, primarily due to lower than anticipated power generation charges. Power costs are expected to be higher for the remainder of 2007. Additionally, higher than expected production helped to reduce Costs applicable to sales per ounce.

Incorporating first quarter results, the Company continues to expect gold sales of approximately 410,000 to 450,000 ounces in 2007. Higher milled ore grades during the first quarter may provide positive grade reconciliation opportunities for the remainder of 2007. The Company continues to expect Costs applicable to sales of approximately $460 to $500 per ounce for the year. Lower than anticipated power charges and higher than expected mill grades could reduce costs applicable to sales to the lower end of the expected range if sustained throughout the remainder of the year. Ahafo continues to address power availability issues in Ghana. Generators are currently being commissioned at Ahafo, allowing the plant to operate while meeting the government's power shedding requirements.

An additional 80 mega-watt power plant is under construction in Ghana with completion anticipated during the third quarter. Newmont will have a 25% share in the power supplied from this plant. The majority of the equipment for this plant cleared customs in March, with the remaining critical equipment expected to be delivered by the end of May. As a result of the mining industry's initiative to install a power plant, the Ghanaian government has agreed to distribute power proportionately between participating mines and the public. The Company currently anticipates generating roughly one-third of Ahafo's power needs from this plant, with the remainder coming from the Ghanaian power grid.

⁽²⁾ Consolidated gold ounces sold includes minority interests’ share.

Kori Kollo, Bolivia. Consolidated gold ounces sold decreased 45% in the first quarter of 2007 from 2006, resulting from 42% fewer tons placed on the leach pads. Waste tons mined increased 51% due to a change in the pit design. Costs applicable to sales per ounce more than doubled in the first quarter of 2007 from 2006 primarily as a result of lower production and higher waste removal costs.

La Herradura, Mexico. Gold ounces sold increased 10% in the first quarter of 2007 from 2006, primarily as a result of 41% more tons placed on the leach pad offset by timing of flows from the pad. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 18%, primarily due to increases in tons mined and leaching costs.

Golden Giant, Canada. Mining operations at Golden Giant were completed in December 2005. Remnant production from in-circuit inventory recovery and mill clean-up activities was 3,000 ounces in the first quarter of 2007, down from 34,000 ounces in the first quarter of 2006.

Consolidated gold sales for Other Operations in 2007 are expected to be approximately 160,000 to 200,000 ounces at Costs applicable to sales of approximately $305 to $325 per ounce.

39

Merchant Banking

During the first quarter of 2007, Merchant Banking invested a further $27 in Gabriel Resources, obtained Oxiana Ltd. shares following the acquisition of Agincourt Resources by Oxiana Ltd. and recognized a $27 gain, realized a gain of $6 on the sale of other investments and recognized a $6 impairment of its investment in Queenstake Resources Ltd. for an other-than-temporary decline in value of marketable equity securities and warrants.

Merchant Banking’s royalty interests and equity investments generated $31 and $29 of Royalty and dividend income for the first quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

The Company’s foreign operations sell their gold and copper production based on U.S. dollar metal prices. Approximately 27% and 32%, of Newmont’s Costs applicable to sales were paid in local currencies during the first quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively. Variations in the local currency exchange rates in relation to the U.S. dollar at Newmont’s foreign mining operations increased consolidated Costs applicable to sales per ounce by approximately $6 during the first quarter as compared to the first quarter of 2006.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Provided from Operating Activities

Net cash provided from continuing operations decreased 75% for the first quarter of 2007 compared to 2006. Cash flow from operations during 2007 was negatively impacted by fewer gold ounces sold and higher operating costs, partially offset by higher realized gold and copper prices and higher copper pounds sold, as discussed above in Consolidated Financial Results. A $263 decrease in net operating assets and liabilities (Note 18) also impacted cash flow from operations during the first quarter of 2007.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $390 during the first quarter of 2007 compared to $257 during the same period of 2006.

Additions to property, plant and mine development were as follows:

Capital expenditures in Nevada during the first quarter of 2007 were primarily due to the construction of the power plant, mine equipment replacement and sustaining mine development. Yanacocha capital expenditures were primarily on construction of the gold

40

mill and leach pad expansions. Capital expenditures in Australia/New Zealand largely resulted from the continued construction of the Boddington project. Remaining capital expenditures at Boddington are expected to change by roughly $8 for every $0.01 move in the Australian dollar exchange rate from $0.77. Batu Hijau’s capital expenditures were predominately used for sustaining mine development. Capital expenditures at Ahafo were mainly as a result of continued risk mitigation for power shortages and sustaining development. Newmont expects to spend $1,800 to $2,000 on capital expenditures in 2007.

Capital expenditures in Nevada during the first quarter of 2006 related to activities for the development of the Leeville, Phoenix, and Power Plant projects, and mine equipment replacement. Yanacocha capital expenditures were for continuing leach pad construction, mine development and mine equipment. Australia/New Zealand capital expenditures resulted from mine development and underground fleet replacement. Expenditures at Batu Hijau primarily included the purchase of additional surface mining equipment. Capital expenditures at Ahafo resulted from construction and development.

Investments in marketable debt and equity securities, net. The Company had net proceeds of $nil and $297 from auction rate marketable debt securities during the first quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company accounts for these investments as short-term available-for-sale marketable debt securities.

During the first quarter of 2007, the Company purchased additional marketable equity securities of Gabriel Resources for $27 and other marketable equity securities for $2.

Acquisitions. In March 2006, Newmont acquired Newcrest Mining Limited’s 22.22% interest in the Boddington unincorporated joint venture, bringing its interest in the project to 66.67%, for cash consideration of $164. In January 2006, Newmont acquired the remaining 15% interest in the Akyem project for cash consideration of $23, bringing its interest in the project to 100%.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $50 and $80 during the first quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively.

During the first quarter of 2007, the Company made scheduled debt repayments of $21 related to the sale-leaseback of the refractory ore treatment plant, classified as a capital lease.

Scheduled minimum debt repayments are $138 for the remainder of 2007, $243 in 2008, $125 in 2009, $133 in 2010, $322 in 2011 and $929 thereafter. Newmont expects to be able to fund maturities of its debt from Net cash provided by operating activities, short-term investments, existing cash balances or available credit facilities. Effective April 24, 2007, the Company renegotiated the terms of its uncollateralized $1,250 revolving credit facility, increasing the facility amount to $2,000 and extending the maturity date to April 2012.

Approximately $480 of the total scheduled minimum long-term debt repayments at March 31, 2007 relate to the project financing facility for Batu Hijau, which is non-recourse to Newmont. Approximately $87 of this facility is classified as a current liability. Additionally, PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara shareholder loans of $36 at March 31, 2007 from one of its shareholders, Nusa Tenggara Mining Corporation, are payable on demand, subject to the project financing facility subordination terms, and are also non-recourse to Newmont. This amount is also classified as a current liability.

At March 31, 2007, the Company was in compliance with all required debt covenants and other restrictions related to its debt agreements.

The Company declared a regular quarterly dividend totaling $0.10 per common share through March 31, 2007 paid on March 29, 2007. Additionally, Newmont Mining Corporation of Canada Limited, a subsidiary of the Company, declared regular quarterly dividends on its exchangeable shares totaling CDN$0.1185 per share. The amount paid to common stockholders in the first quarter of 2007 and 2006 were $45 each. The Company also used $1 and $45 to pay dividends to minority interests for the first quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively.

During the first quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively, the Company issued 311,123 and 994,994 common shares for proceeds of $9 and $38, related to the exercise of employee stock options.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has the following off-balance sheet arrangements: operating leases (as disclosed in Note 26 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, filed on February 26, 2007) and $475 of outstanding letters of credit, surety bonds and bank guarantees. Newmont also provides a contingent support line of credit to PT Newmont Nusa Tanggara of which Newmont’s pro-rata share is $37. Batu Hijau has sales agreements to sell copper

41

concentrates at market prices as follows (in thousands of tons): 776 for the remainder of 2007; 786 in 2008; 695 in 2009; 681 in 2010 and 2011; and 1,977 thereafter.

The Company has forward sales contracts to deliver gold at the lower of the spot price on the delivery date or the capped price ranging from $381 to $392 per ounce as follows (ounces in thousands): 1,000 in 2008; 600 in 2009; and 250 in 2011. For information regarding these agreements, see Item 3, Provisional Copper and Gold Sales and Price-capped Sales Contracts, below.

Environmental

The Company’s mining and exploration activities are subject to various federal and state laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are continually changing and are generally becoming more restrictive. The Company conducts its operations so as to protect the public health and environment and believes its operations are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations in all material respects. The Company has made, and expects to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations, but cannot predict the amount of such future expenditures. Estimated future reclamation costs are based principally on legal and regulatory requirements. At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, $522 and $520, respectively, were accrued for reclamation costs relating to currently producing mineral properties.

In addition, the Company is involved in several matters concerning environmental obligations associated with former mining activities. Generally, these matters concern developing and implementing remediation plans at the various sites involved. The Company believes that the related environmental obligations associated with these sites are similar in nature with respect to the development of remediation plans, their risk profile and the compliance required to meet general environmental standards. Based upon the Company’s best estimate of its liability for these matters, $81 and $85 were accrued for such obligations at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Depending upon the ultimate resolution of these matters, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the liability for these matters could be as much as 93% greater or 28% lower than the amount accrued at March 31, 2007. The amounts accrued for these matters are reviewed periodically based upon facts and circumstances available at the time. Changes in estimates are charged to Costs and expenses, other in the period estimates are revised.

For more information on the Company’s reclamation and remediation liabilities, see Notes 17 and 21 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

During the first quarter of 2007 and 2006, capital expenditures were approximately $9 and $22, respectively, to comply with environmental regulations. Ongoing costs to comply with environmental regulations have not been a significant component of operating costs.

Newmont spent $3 and $2, respectively, during the first quarter of 2007 and 2006 for environmental obligations related to the former mining sites discussed in Note 21 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Safe Harbor Statement

Certain statements contained in this report (including information incorporated by reference) are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provided for under these sections. Our forward-looking statements include, without limitation: (a) statements regarding future earnings, and the sensitivity of earnings to gold and other metal prices; (b) estimates of future mineral production and sales for specific operations and on a consolidated basis; (c) estimates of future production costs and other expenses, for specific operations and on a consolidated basis; (d) estimates of future cash flows and the sensitivity of cash flows to gold and other metal prices; (e) estimates of future capital expenditures and other cash needs for specific operations and on a consolidated basis and expectations as to the funding thereof; (f) statements as to the projected development of certain ore deposits, including estimates of development and other capital costs, financing plans for these deposits, and expected production commencement dates; (g) estimates of future costs and other liabilities for certain environmental matters; (h) estimates of reserves, and statements regarding future exploration results and reserve replacement; (i) statements regarding modifications to Newmont’s hedge positions; (j) statements regarding future transactions relating to portfolio management or rationalization efforts; and (k) projected synergies and costs associated with acquisitions and related matters.

Where we express an expectation or belief as to future events or results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. However, our forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed, projected, or implied by those forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements (“cautionary statements”) are disclosed under “Risk Factors” in the Newmont Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, as well as in other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Many of these factors are beyond Newmont’s ability to control or predict. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.

All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to Newmont or to persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements. Newmont disclaims any intention or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

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 the Company’s 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 U.S. dollar and global mine production levels. Changes in the market price of copper also affects the Company’s profitability and cash flow. Copper is traded on established international exchanges and copper prices generally reflect market supply and demand, but can also be influenced by speculative trading in the commodity or by currency exchange rates.

Newmont had the following derivative contracts outstanding at March 31, 2007:

	Expected Maturity Date						Fair Value
	2007		2008		Total/ Average		At March 31, 2007			At December 31, 2006
Copper Collar Contracts(1) ($ denominated):
Pounds (millions)		13		––		13	$	(21	)(2)	$	(149	)(3)
Average cap price	$	1.43	$	––	$	1.43
Average floor price	$	1.10	$	––	$	1.10
S/IDR Forward Purchase Contracts(1):

Average rate (IDR/$)		9,606		9,365		9,590

⁽¹⁾ 56.25% guaranteed by Newmont, 43.75% guaranteed by an affiliate of Sumitomo Corporation, delivered in the first quarter of 2007, awaiting final settlement.

⁽²⁾ The fair value does not include amounts payable ($20) on derivative contracts that were closed out in March 2007 with the net settlement due in April 2007.

⁽³⁾ The fair value does not include amounts payable ($24) on derivative contracts that were closed out in December 2006 with the net settlement due and paid in January 2007.

Provisional Copper and Gold Sales

The Company’s copper and gold provisional 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 copper concentrates at the forward London Metal Exchange price at the time of sale. The embedded derivative, which does not qualify for hedge accounting, is marked to market through earnings each period prior to final settlement.

At March 31, 2007 and 2006, Batu Hijau had the following gross revenues before treatment and refining charges subject to final price adjustments:

	At March 31,
	2007			2006
Gross revenue subject to final price adjustments
Copper	$	386		$	377
Gold	$	33		$	15
The average final price adjustments realized were as follows:
	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2007			2006
Average final price adjustments
Copper		(19	)%		26	%
Gold		2	%		9	%

Price-Capped Forward Sales Contracts

In 2001, Newmont entered into transactions that closed out certain call options. The options were replaced with a series of forward sales contracts requiring physical delivery of the same quantity of gold over slightly extended future periods. Under the terms of the contracts, Newmont will realize the lower of the spot price on the delivery date or the capped price, ranging from $381 to $392 per ounce. The initial fair value of the forward sales contracts was recorded as deferred revenue. At March 31, 2006, $47 remained in deferred revenue and will be included in revenues as delivery occurs. The forward sales contracts are accounted for as normal sales contracts under SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and SFAS No. 138 “Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities-an Amendment to SFAS No. 133.” The fair value of these contracts are not included on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Newmont had the following price-capped forward sales contracts outstanding at March 31, 2007:

	Expected Maturity Date or Transaction Date								Fair Value
	2008		2009		2011		Total/ Average		At March 31, 2007			At December 31, 2006
Ounces (thousands)		1,000		600		250		1,850	$	(589	)	$	(534	)
Average price	$	384	$	381	$	392	$	384

Interest Rate Swap Contracts

At March 31, 2007, Newmont had $100 fixed to floating swap contracts designated as a hedge against a portion of its $275 8 5/8% debentures expiring in 2011. Under the hedge contract terms, the Company receives fixed-rate interest payments at 8.625% and pays floating-rate interest amounts based on periodic London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) settings plus a spread, ranging from 2.60% to 3.49%. For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, these transactions had an insignificant impact on interest expense. The fair value of the interest rate swaps was $(1) and $1 at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). 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.

44

Even an effective internal control system, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations—including the possibility of the circumvention or overriding of controls. Therefore, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and financial statement preparation.

There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or that is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

As Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2007

NEWMONT MINING CORPORATION

BY-LAWS

ARTICLE I

STOCKHOLDERS

Section 1. Annual Meeting. An annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be held in each year at such place, and on such date and at such time, as the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall designate in a resolution duly adopted by it, for the purpose of electing Directors and transacting such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.

Section 2. Special Meetings. Special Meetings of the stockholders for any lawful purposes may be called by the Board of Directors or by the Chairman of the Board or by the President, and shall be called by the Chairman of the Board or by the President or the Secretary upon a written request stating the purposes thereof and signed by (i) a majority of the Board of Directors or (ii) stockholders owning 25% of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting. Each such meeting shall be held at such place, and on such date and at such time, as the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall designate in a resolution duly adopted by it, for the purposes stated in the notices thereof. Business transacted at any special meeting shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notices of the meeting.

Section 3. Notices and Waivers. Written notices of every meeting of the stockholders, stating the time, place and purposes thereof, shall be given personally, by mail or other means of electronic transmission not less than ten days nor more than sixty days before the date on which the meeting is to be held, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. In the event of a special meeting called upon the written request of stockholders pursuant to Section 2 hereof, such notice shall describe any business set forth in the statement of purpose in such written request as well as any additional business proposed to be conducted at such meeting by the Board of Directors. If mailed, the notice shall be sent to the stockholders at their respective addresses appearing on the stock records of the Corporation or to such other addresses as they may have respectively designated in writing, and shall be deemed given when mailed. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders may be given by electronic transmission in accordance with applicable law. A waiver of any notice in writing by a stockholder or by electronic transmission given by the person or persons entitled to such notice before or after the time for the meeting, shall be deemed equivalent to such notice.

Section 4. Notice of Stockholder Business and Nominations.

(i) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation and the proposal of business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders (a) pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting, (b) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (c) by any stockholder of the Corporation who was a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this By-Law, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this By-Law.

For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (c) of the preceding paragraph, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation and such other business must otherwise be a proper matter for stockholder action. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the sixtieth day nor earlier than the close of business on the ninetieth day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than thirty days before or more than sixty days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the ninetieth day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the sixtieth day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment of an annual meeting commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. Such stockholder’s notice shall set forth (a) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 14a-11 thereunder (including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected); (b) as to any other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (c) as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, and of such beneficial owner and the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner.

Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of the preceding paragraph to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors of the Corporation is increased and there is no public announcement by the Corporation naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors at least seventy days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice required by this By-Law shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the

-2-

Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.

(ii) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting (a) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (b) provided that the Board of Directors has determined that directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any stockholder of the Corporation who is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this By-Law, who shall be entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this By-Law. In the event the Corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board of Directors, any such stockholder may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be), for election to such position(s) as specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting, if the stockholder’s notice required by clause (i) of this By-Law shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the ninetieth day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the sixtieth day prior to such special meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment of a special meeting commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

(iii) Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this By-Law shall be eligible to serve as directors and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this By-Law. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this By-Law and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with this By-Law, to declare that such defective proposal or nomination shall be disregarded.

(iv) For purposes of this By-Law, “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this By-Law, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this By-Law. Nothing in this By-Law shall be deemed to affect any rights (i) of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or (ii) of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors under specified circumstances.

-3-

Section 5. Stockholder List. For every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address of and the number of shares registered in the name of each such stockholder, shall be made and be open to the examination of any stockholder during ordinary business hours for at least ten days prior to the meeting at the Corporation’s principal place of business, and shall be produced at the meeting and be subject at all time during the meeting to the inspection of any stockholder present.

Section 6. Quorum. Subject to the provisions of any applicable law or of the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation in respect of the vote that shall be required for a specified action, the holders of record of a majority of the capital stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at any meeting of its stockholders shall be required to be present in person or represented by proxy at such meeting in order to constitute a quorum for a transaction of any business. For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, “capital stock of the Corporation” shall be deemed to include that number of shares of common stock equal to the number of votes that the Trustee is entitled to vote from time to time under the Special Voting Share of the Corporation created pursuant to the terms of the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement dated February 16, 2002, between the Corporation, Newmont Mining Corporation of Canada Limited and Computershare Trust Company of Canada.

Section 7. Adjournment. If at any meeting of the stockholders there is no quorum, the meeting may be adjourned from time to time by the Chairman of the Board or by a majority vote of the stockholders present or represented, without any notice other than by announcement at the meeting, until a quorum be obtained. Any meeting at which there is a quorum may also be adjourned, in like manner, for such time or upon such call as may be determined by vote. An adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented may transact any business which might have been transacted at the meeting as first convened had there been a quorum.

Section 8. Chairman and Secretary. At every meeting of the stockholders the presiding officer shall be the Chairman of the Board, or in his absence the President, and in their absence a Vice President of the Corporation. The Secretary or in his absence an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation shall act as secretary of the meeting, or in their absence the presiding officer may appoint any person present to act as secretary of the meeting.

Section 9. Voting. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein or in the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation with respect to the ability of certain stockholders to cumulate votes in the election of directors, each stockholder present in person or by proxy at a meeting of the stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of the capital stock of the Corporation registered in the name of such stockholder on the books of the Corporation and entitled to vote at such meeting. No proxy shall be voted on after three years from its date unless it provides for a longer period. All elections of Directors shall be by a plurality vote by ballot. All other matters shall be decided by a majority vote viva voce of the stockholders present in person or by proxy except as otherwise specifically provided by any applicable law, the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws; provided, however, that the presiding officer shall have the right to determine whether a stock vote with respect to any matter shall be taken by ballot. On votes taken by ballot, each ballot shall state the name of the stockholder or proxy voting and the number of shares voted.

-4-

Section 10. Inspectors of Elections.

Minutes of all acts and proceedings of the Committee shall be kept in a proper record book and shall be laid before the Directors at their next meeting.

Section 3. Compensation.

-12-

that he, his testator or intestate is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is serving or served such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise as a director, officer or trustee, against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, except as provided in Section 7 of this Article VI, with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person in connection with an action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) is authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

Section 2. Indemnification of Others. The Corporation shall indemnify other persons and reimburse the expenses thereof, to the extent required by applicable law, and may indemnify any other person to whom the Corporation is permitted to provide indemnification or the advancement of expenses, whether pursuant to rights granted pursuant to, or provided by, the Delaware General Corporation Law or otherwise.

Section 3. Advances or Reimbursement of Expenses. The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from time to time, reimburse or advance to any person referred to in Section 1 the funds necessary for payment of expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 1, upon receipt of a written undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount(s) if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation under this Article VI or otherwise.

Section 4. Service of Certain Entities Deemed Requested. Any director or officer of the Corporation servicing (i) another corporation, of which a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of its directors is held by the Corporation, or (ii) any employee benefit plan of the Corporation or any corporation referred in clause (i), in any capacity shall be deemed to be doing so at the request of the Corporation.

Section 5. Interpretation. Any person entitled to be indemnified or to the reimbursement or advancement of expenses as a matter of right pursuant to this Article may elect to have the right to indemnification (or advancement of expenses) interpreted on the basis of the applicable law in effect at the time of the occurrence of the event or events giving rise to the action, suit or proceeding, to the extent permitted by applicable law, or on the basis of the applicable law in effect at the time indemnification is sought.

Section 6. Indemnification Right. The right to be indemnified or to the reimbursement or advancement of expenses pursuant to this Article (i) is a contract right pursuant to which the person entitled thereto may bring suit as if the provisions hereof were set forth in a separate written contract between the Corporation and the director or officer, (ii) is intended to be retroactive and shall be available with respect to events occurring prior to the adoption hereof, and (iii) shall continue to exist after the rescission or restrictive modification hereof with respect to events occurring prior thereto.

-13-

Section 7. Indemnification Claims. If a request to be indemnified or for the reimbursement or advancement of expenses pursuant hereto is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation or recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled also to be paid the expenses of prosecuting such claim. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of or reimbursement or advancement of expenses to the claimant is proper in the circumstances, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant is not entitled to indemnification or to the reimbursement or advancement of expenses, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant is not so entitled.

ARTICLE VII

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 7. Separability. In case any By-Law or provision in any By-Law shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining By-Laws or remaining provisions of such By-Law shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

On the Effective Date (such term and each other capitalized term used and not otherwise defined herein having the meaning assigned to it in Article I), the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and certain of the Lenders entered into the Original Agreement pursuant to which the lenders thereunder agreed to extend credit to the Borrowers on a revolving credit basis. The parties hereto desire to amend the Original Agreement and to restate it in its entirety in the form hereof to give effect to such amendment.

The Borrowers have requested the Lenders to extend credit in the form of Commitments under which the Borrowers may obtain Revolving Loans from time to time on or after the Restatement Effective Date and prior to the Maturity Date in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in the Revolving Credit Exposure, together with the total Competitive Loan Exposure, exceeding $2,000,000,000 (as such amount may be increased pursuant to Section 2.09(d)). The Borrowers have also requested the Lenders provide procedures under which the Borrowers may obtain Competitive Loans and Swingline Loans from the Lenders and Letters of Credit. The proceeds of Borrowings hereunder made after the Restatement Effective Date are to be used for general corporate purposes of the Borrowers and their subsidiaries and the Letters of Credit will be used to support payment obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business by the Borrowers and their subsidiaries.

The Lenders are willing to establish the credit facility referred to in the preceding paragraph upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. Accordingly, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree that the Original Agreement shall, upon satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions set forth in Section 4.01, be amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the applicable Borrower (or other party on behalf of such Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve any Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

SECTION 2.06. Letters of Credit. (a)General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, either Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the LC Availability Period, and (subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02), the applicable Issuing Bank will issue such Letters 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 by either Borrower to, or entered into by either Borrower with, any Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. On the Restatement Effective Date, each Issuing Bank that has issued an Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have granted to each Lender and each Lender shall have been deemed to have purchased from such Issuing Bank a participation in such Letter of Credit in accordance with paragraph (d) below. The Company, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders that are also party to the Original Agreement agree that concurrently with such grant, the participations in the Existing Letters of Credit granted to such lenders under the Original Agreement shall be automatically canceled without further action by any of the parties thereto. On and after the Restatement Effective Date, each Existing Letter of Credit shall constitute a Letter of Credit for all purposes hereof and shall be deemed issued on the Restatement Effective Date.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, extension or renewal of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the applicable Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have

25

been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) to an Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, such 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 applicable 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 $500,000,000 and (ii) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the total Commitments; 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”).

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the date that is two Business Days prior to the Maturity Date.

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each such Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. 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 applicable Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the applicable 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 shall expire no later than the date set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section), or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall be deemed to have acquired such a participation in each Existing Letter of Credit on the Restatement Effective Date.

26

(e) Reimbursement. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the date on which such Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement; provided that either Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request (i) in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or (ii) in accordance with Section 2.05 that such payment be financed with a Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, such Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan, as the case may be. If a Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from such Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from such 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 a 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 or Swingline Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve either Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. Each 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, such 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

27

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 either Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such Borrower 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 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, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) 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 such 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 applicable 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 such Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans; provided that, if the applicable 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(d) 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) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the applicable Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to

28

Section 2.12(c). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the applicable replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(i) Acceleration of Reimbursement Obligations. If at any time (i) an Event of Default described in clause (a), (b) (only to the extent related to an LC Disbursement reimbursement obligation), (h) or (i) of Article VII shall occur and be continuing or (ii) the Administrative Agent shall declare the Loans to be immediately due and payable (in whole or in part), the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers hereunder in respect of all Letters of Credit then outstanding shall (x) in the case of the occurrence and the continuance of any Event of Default described in clause (a) or (b) (in the case of clause (b), only to the extent related to an LC Disbursement reimbursement obligation) of Article VII upon the request of the Administrative Agent and (y) in all other cases, immediately, become due and payable (regardless of whether such Letters of Credit shall have been drawn upon as of such time). The applicable Borrower shall make such reimbursement in an amount in cash equal to the aggregate LC Exposure with respect to such Borrower as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Moneys comprising such reimbursement shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse any Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements made in connection with Letters of Credit issued pursuant to a request made by the applicable Borrower and for which such Issuing Bank has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held on behalf of the applicable Issuing Bank in satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the applicable Borrower, as applicable, for the LC Exposure with respect to such Borrower at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of the Required Lenders), be applied to satisfy other obligations of such Borrower under this Agreement. If either Borrower is required to provide a reimbursement hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. Upon (x) the expiration or termination of any Letter of Credit for which the applicable Borrower shall have previously provided reimbursement hereunder or (y) the waiver or cure of the Event of Default that gave rise to the reimbursement obligation under this Section 2.06(j), the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the applicable Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit, shall reimburse the applicable Borrower within three Business Days for any undrawn amounts (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) under such Letter of Credit.

SECTION 2.07. Funding 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, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the applicable Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.05. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the applicable Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received to an account of such Borrower

29

maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York City and designated by such 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 applicable 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 applicable Borrower severally agrees 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 applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of (x) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (y) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of a 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 2.08. Interest Elections. (a)Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the applicable Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The applicable 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 or Swingline Loans, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, a Borrower (or the Company on its behalf) shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone or by telecopy by the time and date that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if such 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, if telephonic, shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and

30

signed by the applicable Borrower (or the Company on its behalf). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, no Borrower shall be permitted to elect an Interest Period for Eurodollar Loans that does not comply with Section 2.02(d).

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) 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);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar 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 Eurodollar Borrowing, but does not specify an Interest Period, then the applicable 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 a Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar 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 Eurodollar 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 request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Company (such notification to be promptly confirmed in writing), then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing each outstanding Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing may only be continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month.

SECTION 2.09. Termination, Reduction and Extension of Commitments; Increase of Commitments.

(a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

31

(b) The Company may at any time terminate, or from time to time 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 Company 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 total Revolving Credit Exposures plus the total Competitive Loan Exposures would exceed the total Commitments.

(c) The Company 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 Company pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Company may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (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 their respective Commitments.

(d)(i) The Company 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 shall the aggregate amount of Additional Credit Commitments effected pursuant to this paragraph exceed $500,000,000; provided further that each Additional Credit Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the Company (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 Borrowers 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.

32

(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 Credit Lenders, which assignments shall be deemed to be effective pursuant to Section 10.04 or (C) by any combination of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order to eliminate any break funding liability to the Borrowers, 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 a 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 prepaid by the applicable Borrowers (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 Eurodollar 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 Eurodollar Loans shall be paid by the applicable Borrowers to the Revolving 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 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), (b) and, if applicable, (c) 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.

(e)(i) The Company may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders) given not less than 30 days and not more than 45 days prior to any anniversary of the Restatement Effective Date occurring on or before the Maturity Date then in effect, request that the Lenders extend the Maturity Date then in effect for an additional period of one year; provided that the Maturity Date may not be extended beyond April 24, 2014. Any such notice shall specify any fees that the Borrowers agree to pay as consideration for such extension. Each Lender shall, by notice to the Company and the Administrative Agent given within 30 days after such Lender’s receipt of any such request, advise the Company whether or not it agrees to such extension. Any Lender that has not so advised the Administrative Agent by such day shall be deemed to have declined to agree to such extension.

(ii) If the Company shall have requested and the Required Lenders shall have agreed to an extension of the Maturity Date, then the Maturity Date shall be extended for the additional period specified in the Borrower’s notice provided for under sub-paragraph (i) above.

33

(iii) The decision to agree or withhold agreement to any extension of the Maturity Date hereunder shall be at the sole discretion of each Lender. The Commitment of any Lender that has declined to agree to any requested extension of the Maturity Date (a “Non-Extending Lender”) shall terminate on the Maturity Date in effect prior to giving effect to any such extension (the “Existing Maturity Date”), and the principal amount of any outstanding Loans made by such Lender, together with any accrued interest thereon, and any accrued fees and other amounts payable hereunder and owing to such Lender shall be due and payable on the Existing Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to Section 2.19(b), the Company shall have the right to replace a Non-Extending Lender with a Lender or other financial institution that will assume the Commitment of such Non-Extending Lender and agree to an extension of the Maturity Date.

SECTION 2.10. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a)Each 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 such Borrower on the Maturity Date, (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 and (iii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of (x) the Maturity Date and (y) the tenth Business Day after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Loan or a Competitive Loan is made to any Borrower, such Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans made to it and then outstanding.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of each 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 applicable 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 any Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

34

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the applicable Borrower or Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Company 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 10.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.11. Prepayment of Loans. (a)The Borrowers 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 a 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 total Revolving Credit Exposures plus the total Competitive Loan Exposures exceeds the total Commitments, the Borrowers shall: first, promptly prepay Swingline Loans in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess, and second, to the extent of any remaining excess, promptly prepay Revolving Borrowings in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess, and third, to the extent of any remaining excess, or if no Revolving Borrowings or Swingline Loans are outstanding, make a deposit in a cash collateral account maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.05(j) to be held as security for the Borrowers’ 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 Borrowers.

(c) Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings, the applicable 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 applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) or by telecopy of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (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 or (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date 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.

35

Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing or a Swingline 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 or a Swingline 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 2.12. Fees. (a)The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender a facility fee, which shall accrue at the relevant Facility Fee Rate specified in the definition of Applicable Rate on the daily amount of the Commitments of such Lender (whether used or unused) during the period from and including the Restatement 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. Accrued facility fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which all the Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Restatement 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 Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender a utilization fee at a rate per annum equal to 0.050% on the amount of the Revolving Credit Exposure on and in respect of each day on which the amount of Revolving Credit Exposure is greater than 50% of the total Commitments. Accrued utilization fees, if any, shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which all the Commitments terminate. All utilization 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).

(c) Each Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit issued on behalf of such Borrower, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used from time to time to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Revolving Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s applicable LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Restatement 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, (A) which shall accrue at a rate per annum as may be separately agreed upon by the applicable

36

Borrower and such Issuing Bank on the daily amount of the LC Exposure attributable to standby Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Restatement 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, and (B) in the amount as may be separately agreed upon by the applicable Borrower and such Issuing Bank on the face amount of each documentary Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, payable in full on the date of issuance as well as, in each case, 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 under clause (ii)(A) of the preceding sentence 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 Restatement 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 standby 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).

(d) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between any Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(e) 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, utilization fees and participation fees, for distribution to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.13. Interest. (a)The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate.

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest (i) in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, at the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate or (ii) in the case of a Eurodollar Competitive Borrowing, at the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus (or minus, as applicable) the Margin applicable to such Borrowing.

(c) Each Fixed Rate Loan shall bear interest at the Fixed Rate applicable to such Loan.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by any 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

37

case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% 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% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(e) 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 Eurodollar 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.

(f) 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 or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.14. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders (or, in the case of a Eurodollar Competitive Loan, the Lender that is required to make such Loan) that the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Company and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing and (iii) any request by a Borrower for a Eurodollar Competitive Borrowing shall be ineffective; provided that (A) if the circumstances giving rise to such notice do not affect all the Lenders, then requests by a Borrower for Eurodollar Competitive

38

Borrowings may be made to Lenders that are not affected thereby and (B) if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted.

SECTION 2.15. Increased Costs. (a)If any Change in Law or any change in the applicability after the Restatement Effective Date of any Statutory Reserve Requirements shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except for Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements) or any Issuing Bank; or

(ii) impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London interbank markets any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans or Fixed Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or Fixed Rate Loan or to increase the cost to such Lender or any Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the applicable 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, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender shall give notice to the Administrative Agent and the Company at any time to the effect that Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements are, or are scheduled to become, effective and that such Lender is or will be generally subject to such Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements as a result of which such Lender will incur additional costs, then such Lender shall, for each day from the later of the date of such notice and the date on which such Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements become effective, be entitled to additional interest on each Eurodollar Loan made by it at a rate per annum determined for such day (rounded upward, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100 of 1%) equal to the remainder obtained by subtracting (i) the LIBO Rate for such Eurodollar Loan from (ii) the rate obtained by dividing such LIBO Rate by a percentage equal to 100% minus the then-applicable Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements. Such additional interest will be payable in arrears to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Lender, on each Interest Payment Date relating to such Eurodollar Loan and on any other date when interest is required to be paid hereunder with respect to such Loan. Any Lender which gives a notice under this paragraph (b) shall promptly withdraw such notice (by written notice of withdrawal given to the Administrative Agent and the Company) in the event Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements cease to apply to it or the circumstances giving rise to such notice otherwise cease to exist.

39

(c) 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 Company 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.

(d) 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 (c) of this Section, shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof.

(e) 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 Company shall not be required to compensate a Lender or any Issuing Bank pursuant to paragraph (a) or (c) 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 Company of the Change in Law (or change in the applicability of Statutory Reserve Requirements) giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law (or change in the applicability of Statutory Reserve Requirements) 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.

(f) 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 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 2.16. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar 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 Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar 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)

40

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 Eurodollar 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 Company pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the applicable Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the LIBO Rate or Fixed Rate, as applicable, that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the London interbank market. 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 Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The applicable 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 Borrowers 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 Borrowers of the event giving rise to such loss, cost or expense and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor.

SECTION 2.17. Taxes. (a)Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Borrowers shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) The applicable Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of such Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or

41

attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to indemnify the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank or a Lender pursuant to this paragraph for any such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, paid by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender more than 180 days prior to the date that the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender notifies the applicable Borrower of such payment by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and such related payments and of the Administrative Agent’s, such Issuing Bank’s or such Lender’s intention to claim indemnification therefor. A certificate as to the amount and nature of such payment or liability delivered to the Company by a Lender, by an Issuing Bank or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Company 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.

(e) On or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement, each Lender that is not a United States Person as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-US Lender”) shall deliver to the Company two executed and completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form (i) W-8ECI (or any successor form) specifying that all payments to be received under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by such Non-US Lender will be effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the US, (ii) W-8BEN, including such Lender’s Taxpayer Identification Number (of any successor form) certifying eligibility for complete exemption from US Federal withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document under an applicable tax treaty or (iii) W-8BEN (or any successor form) and a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D (a “Non-Bank Certificate”). Each Non-US Lender shall redeliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-US Lender, except to the extent that such Non-US lender is unable to redeliver such forms due to the adoption of, or change in, any law, rule, treaty or regulation or in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority after the date on which the applicable Loan is made by such Non-US Lender.

(f) If a Lender or Issuing Bank (or the Administrative Agent on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Bank) receives a refund in respect of any Indemnified Taxes pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall within 30 days from the date of such receipt pay over such refund to the relevant Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made by the relevant Borrower under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender or Issuing Bank (or the Administrative Agent) and without interest (other than interest paid by the

42

relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that the relevant Borrower, upon the request of such Lender or such Issuing Bank (or the Administrative Agent), agrees to repay the amount paid over to the relevant Borrower (plus penalties, interest or other charges) to such Lender or such Issuing Bank (or the Administrative Agent) in the event such Lender or such Issuing Bank (or the Administrative Agent) is required to repay such refund to the relevant Governmental Authority.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.17, if a Lender or Issuing Bank is a conduit entity participating in a conduit financing arrangement (as defined in Section 7701(l) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder) with respect to any payments made by the Borrowers under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay additional amounts to such Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.17 to the extent that the amount of Indemnified Taxes exceeds the amount that would have otherwise been payable had such Lender or Issuing Bank not been a conduit entity participating in a conduit financing arrangement.

SECTION 2.18. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a)Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.06(e), each 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 Company, except that payments to the Swingline Lender, 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 10.03 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.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent from any Borrower to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due from such Borrower

43

hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due from such 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 such 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 Swingline 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 Swingline 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 Swingline 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 Swingline 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 any 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 Swingline Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to a Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each 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 such 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 such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Company 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 applicable Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such 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 such 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 Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

44

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(c), 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 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a)If any Lender (including any Issuing Bank) requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if any 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). Each 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 any Lender (including any Issuing Bank) requests compensation under Section 2.15 (other than paragraph (b) thereof), or if any 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, or if any Lender shall not agree to a requested extension of the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 2.09(e), or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Company 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 10.04), all its interests, rights 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 (i) the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and any Issuing Bank, which consents shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans (other than Competitive Loans), participations in Swingline Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, 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 Company (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) 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 in such compensation, payments or additional interest.

45

(a)Each Borrower and each Significant Subsidiary has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its real and personal property material to its business, except for minor defects in title that do not interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties for their intended purposes.

(b) Each Borrower and each Significant Subsidiary owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property material to its business, and the use thereof by such Borrower or Significant Subsidiary does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for any such ownership, licenses or infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.06. Litigation and Environmental Matters. (a)There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of any Borrower, threatened against or affecting such Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries (i) which could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect (other than the Disclosed Matters) or (ii) that involve this Agreement or the Transactions.

(b) Except for the Disclosed Matters and except with respect to any other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, no Borrower nor any of the Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any basis for any Environmental Liability.

47

SECTION 3.09. Taxes. Each Borrower and each Subsidiary has timely filed or caused to be filed all Tax returns and reports required to have been filed and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it, except (a) Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the Company or such Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.10. ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Plan by an amount which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans by an amount which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.11. Disclosure. As of the Restatement Effective Date, neither the Information Memorandum nor any of the other reports, financial statements, certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf of any Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished on or prior to the Restatement Effective Date) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, each Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.

SECTION 3.12. Federal Regulations. The proceeds of the Loans will be used only for general corporate purposes. No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used to purchase or carry any Margin Stock in violation of Regulation U or X of the Board. As of the date of this Agreement, if the full amount of the Lenders’ Commitments were used to purchase Margin Stock, no more than 25% of the value of the assets of the Company, or of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, which are subject to the restrictions contained in Article VI would constitute Margin Stock. If the proceeds of any Loan are to be used in a manner which would cause such Loans to be classified as “purpose loans” under Regulation U, then at the time of the making of such Loan and at the time of the making of each Loan thereafter (after applying the proceeds of all Loans then being or theretofore made), no more than 25% of the value of the assets of the Company, or of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, which are subject to the restrictions contained in Article VI shall constitute Margin Stock. If at any time the representation set forth in the preceding sentence would be required to be made but cannot be made by any Borrower, such representation shall not be required to be made, provided that the Borrowers shall at all times thereafter comply with Article XI.

48

SECTION 3.13. Subsidiaries. Schedule 3.13 sets forth as of the Restatement Effective Date a list of all Subsidiaries and the percentage ownership (directly or indirectly) of the Company therein.

(n) the Guarantee Agreement shall cease to be or shall not be enforceable with respect to any Guarantor or any Guarantor shall assert in writing that the Guarantee Agreement or any guarantee thereunder has ceased to be or is not enforceable;

then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to a Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of this Article), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the Company, take either or both of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate the Commitments, and thereupon the Commitments shall

59

terminate immediately, and (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrowers accrued hereunder, shall become due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by each Borrower; and in case of any event with respect to a Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of this Article, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the principal of the Loans and, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrowers accrued hereunder, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by each Borrower.

ARTICLE VIII

The Administrative Agent

In order to expedite the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, JPMorgan is hereby appointed to act as Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

The Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the any Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Borrower or any Subsidiary that is communicated to or obtained by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be

60

necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by a Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs and the provisions of Section 10.03 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Company. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Company, 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 resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent 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 the 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. The

61

fees payable by the Company to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor. After an Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.03 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.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender 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 also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender 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, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

ARTICLE IX

Guarantee

In order to induce the Lenders to extend credit hereunder, each Borrower (a “Borrower Guarantor”) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the Obligations of the other Borrower (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Borrower Guarantor further agrees that the due and punctual payment of the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it in its capacity as a Borrower Guarantor, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee hereunder notwithstanding any such extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.

Each Borrower Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the other Borrower of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its obligations and notice of protest for nonpayment. The obligations of each Borrower Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of any Lender or Issuing Bank to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the other Borrower under the provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or release from, any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or agreement; (d) the failure or delay of any Lender or Issuing Bank to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; (e) the failure of any Lender or Issuing Bank to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument; (f) any default, failure or delay, wilful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (g) any

62

other circumstance, act, omission or delay to do any other act which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Borrower Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of or a defense available to, the Borrower Guarantor as a matter of law or equity or which would impair or eliminate any right of the Borrower Guarantor to subrogation.

Each Borrower Guarantor further agrees that its guarantee hereunder constitutes a promise of payment when due (whether or not any bankruptcy or similar proceeding shall have stayed the accrual or collection of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or operated as a discharge thereof) and not merely of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Lender to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Lender in favor of the other Borrower or any Subsidiary or any other Person.

The obligations of each Borrower Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever, by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations, any impossibility in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise.

Each Borrower Guarantor further agrees that its obligations hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Lender or Issuing Bank upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the other Borrower or otherwise.

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Lender or Issuing Bank may have at law or in equity against each Borrower Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the other Borrower to pay any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, such Borrower Guarantor hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Administrative Agent, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the applicable Lenders or Issuing Banks in cash an amount equal the unpaid principal amount of such Guaranteed Obligation.

Upon payment in full by a Borrower Guarantor of any Guaranteed Obligation, each Lender and Issuing Bank shall, in a reasonable manner, assign to such Borrower Guarantor the amount of such Guaranteed Obligation owed to such Lender or such Issuing Bank and so paid, such assignment to be pro tanto to the extent to which the Guaranteed Obligation in question was discharged by such Borrower Guarantor, or make such disposition thereof as such Borrower Guarantor shall direct (all without recourse to any Lender or Issuing Bank and without any representation or warranty by any Lender or Issuing Bank). Upon payment by a Borrower Guarantor of any sums as provided above, all rights of such Borrower Guarantor against the other Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinated

63

and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full of all the Obligations owed by the other Borrower to the Lenders or Issuing Banks (it being understood that, after the discharge of all the Obligations due and payable from such other Borrower, such rights may be exercised by the Borrower Guarantor notwithstanding that the other Borrower may remain contingently liable for indemnity or other Obligations).

The parties agree that none of the Sole Lead Arranger, Sole Bookrunner, Co-Syndication Agents or Co-Documentation Agents referred to on the cover page shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank hereunder.

Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt.

SECTION 10.02. Waivers; 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 either Borrower 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) 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 Borrowers and the Required Lenders or by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders (and, additionally, in each case, if its rights and obligations are affected thereby, the Swingline Lender), or in the case of any other Loan Document, each applicable 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, or reduce any fees payable to any Lender hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender 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(d)), 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)

65

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, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section 10.02(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, or (vi) release either Borrower from its obligations under Article IX, without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended to extend the Maturity Date or to provide for Additional Credit Commitments in the manner contemplated by Sections 2.09(d) and (e) and without any additional consents.

SECTION 10.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a)The Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or, after the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit; provided further that the Borrowers, in connection with the foregoing, shall only be required to pay the fees and expenses of (x) one counsel engaged to represent the Administrative Agent and (y) in the case of the preceding clause (iii), (1) one joint counsel engaged to represent all Issuing Banks and all Lenders, except to the extent that the use of joint counsel could reasonably be expected to give rise to any conflict of interest for any such counsel or any Issuing Bank or Lender shall have determined that it may have legal defenses available to it that are different from, additional to or in conflict with those available to any other Issuing Bank or Lender, and (2) such other joint local counsel engaged to represent the Administrative Agent, all Issuing Banks and all Lenders as may be required in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent.

(b) The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons

66

(each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding (regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto) relating to (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit) or (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee (or any Related Party of such Indemnitee).

(c) To the extent that the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be paid by them to the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought), of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Borrower shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

SECTION 10.04. Successors 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 no Borrower may (except as otherwise provided herein) assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations

67

hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any 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 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 Company (except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender), the Administrative Agent and any Issuing Bank (and, in the case of an assignment of all or a portion of any Lender’s obligations in respect of its Swingline Exposure, the Swingline Lender) must give their prior written consent to such assignment (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld), (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, any assignment of less than the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment, or any assignment to more than one assignee, shall in each case be subject to the prior written consent of the Company, (iii) 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 Company and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, (iv) 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 (iv) shall not apply to rights in respect of outstanding Competitive Loans, (v) 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, and (vi) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and provided further that (i) any consent of the Company otherwise required under the first proviso to this paragraph shall not be required if an Event of Default under clause (h) or (i) of Article VII (including in respect of Newmont USA) has occurred and is continuing and (ii) notwithstanding any other provision in this paragraph (b) (including the preceding clause (i) of this proviso), the prior written consent of the Company shall be required in the case of any assignment to a Person referred to in clause (v) of Section 10.04(e). 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 10.03). Any assignment or

68

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.

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of each Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in The City of 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 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 Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders may 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 any Borrower, any Issuing Bank and any Lender, 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 (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 sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) 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) unless the Participant is an Affiliate or an affiliated funding vehicle of such Lender, the Company’s consent, in its sole discretion, shall be required for the sale of such participation, (ii) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (iii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iv) the Borrowers, 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 and (v) notwithstanding any other provision in this paragraph (e), no Lender may, without the Company’s prior written consent, sell participations in any Loan, Commitment or LC Disbursements to Persons (other than banks and similar financial institutions) that are engaged in the gold or minerals business and which are designated in writing from time to time by the Company as Persons that are ineligible to participate in Loans or LC Disbursements and Commitments; provided further that any consent of the Company otherwise required under the first proviso to this paragraph (other than any consent required under clause (v) of this paragraph) shall not be required if an Event of Default under clause (h) or (i) of Article VII (including in

69

respect of Newmont USA) has occurred and is continuing. 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 10.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (f) of this Section, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender.

(f) A Participant or, in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, the assignee shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless the Company is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Company, to comply with Section 2.17(e) as though it were a Lender.

(g) Each Lender agrees that it will only provide to a Participant information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries that (x) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by such Lender or its agents, employees or advisors or (y) becomes available on a nonconfidential basis, in each case other than from a source which is bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Company.

(h) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

SECTION 10.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrowers herein, in the other Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and the issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at

the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 10.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 10.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.

This Agreement shall become effective as provided in Section 4.01.

SECTION 10.07. Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of such Loan Document; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 10.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrowers now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to and shall not limit other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 10.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a)This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

(b) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State

71

of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party hereto or thereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 10.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 10.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

72

SECTION 10.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or self-regulatory body, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any assignee or prospective assignee of any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (g) with the consent of any Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than a Borrower not subject (to the knowledge of such Lender) to a confidentiality agreement with a Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrowers relating to the Borrowers or their business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by a Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from a Borrower after the Restatement Effective Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

SECTION 10.13. USA Patriot Act. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Guarantor, which information includes the name, address and tax identification number of each Guarantor and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Borrower in accordance with the Act. Each Guarantor shall promptly, following a request by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank reasonably requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act.

ARTICLE XI

Treatment of Loans for Purposes of Regulation U

SECTION 11.01. Treatment for Purposes of Regulation U. The Borrowers 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 third sentence of Section 3.12 cannot be made, the Borrowers 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 XI shall apply.

SECTION 11.02. Allocation 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 XI, 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 11.03(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 11.03(a) and (b) and Section 11.04;

(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 XI, 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 11.03(a) and (b) and Section 11.04; 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 11.03(a) and (b) and Section 11.04.

SECTION 11.03. Allocation of Collateral. (a)The benefits of negative pledges in favor of the Lenders (direct and indirect) in the Margin Stock and the

74

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 Borrowers 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 Borrowers 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 Borrowers under this Agreement in connection with the C Credits (collectively, the “C Credit Amounts”). Each Borrower agrees that it 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 Borrowers 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 11.03 and the B Credit of such Lender with the benefits described in paragraph (b) of this Section 11.03 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 11.03 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 11.03, 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 11.04. Allocation 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 Borrowers 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 11.03 shall be applied first to the payment or prepayment of the B Credit Amounts, second to the payment or prepayment

75

of the C Credit Amounts and third to the payment or prepayment of the A Credit Amounts; and provided further, that each such payment and prepayment made with funds derived from assets subject to the provisions referred to in paragraph (a) of Section 11.03 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 11.05. Information. The Borrowers 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 11.03 and with Section 11.04 and to further determine compliance with Regulation U, and such documents as such Lender may require to comply with Regulation U.

SECTION 11.06. Individual Lender Responsibility. Each Lender shall be responsible for its own compliance with and administration of the provisions of this Article XI, and the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for any determinations or allocations (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 XI 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.

76

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.

Exhibit 10.2

NEWMONT MINING CORPORATION

2005 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT

This Agreement (“Agreement”) is dated as of April 30, 2007 between Newmont Mining Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Newmont”) and            (“Executive”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Company seeks to retain the services of Executive and for that purpose, the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Newmont Board of Directors (“Newmont Committee”) has awarded Executive a grant of restricted shares of Newmont’s common stock (“Restricted Stock”), subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement pursuant to the terms and conditions of the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (“Stock Plan”); capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given such terms in the Stock Plan;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and as an inducement and incentive to Executive to perform his duties and fulfill his responsibilities on behalf of Newmont and its subsidiaries at the highest level of dedication and competence, and other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, Newmont hereby awards to Executive [            ] shares of Restricted Stock, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and the Stock Plan, including the Vesting Period, as such term is defined in this Agreement, and in connection with such award, Newmont and Executive hereby agree as follows:

AGREEMENT:

1. Vesting Period. The Vesting Period shall commence on the date of this Agreement and shall end on the dates set forth below as to that percentage of the total shares of Restricted Stock subject to this Agreement as set forth opposite each such date:

Date	Percentage Vested
April 30, 2009	66%
April 30, 2010	34%

2. Stock Certificate Legend. Executive acknowledges that if stock certificates are issued to him and registered in his name for the Restricted Stock, such certificate(s) shall bear the following legend and such other legends as may be required by law or contract:

“The shares represented by this certificate are subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions set forth in a Restricted Stock Award Agreement, dated as of [            ], between Newmont Mining Corporation and the registered owner (“Agreement”). Copies of the Agreement are on file in the offices of the Secretary, Newmont Mining Corporation, 1700 Lincoln Street, Denver, Colorado 80203.”

Executive agrees that upon receipt of such stock certificate(s) to deposit all such stock certificate(s) with Newmont or such other escrow holder as the Newmont Committee may

appoint, together with a stock power endorsed in blank or other appropriate instrument of transfer, to be held by Newmont or such escrow holder. The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, Executive agrees that, in Newmont’s discretion, such stock certificate(s), so registered and legended, may be delivered directly to and held by the Secretary of Newmont, or, alternatively, Executive’s ownership of the Restricted Stock may be evidenced solely by a “book entry” (i.e, a computerized or manual entry) in the records of Newmont or its designated stock transfer agent in Executive’s name.

3. Nontransferability. Executive acknowledges that no shares of Restricted Stock, or any interest therein, may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, encumbered or otherwise disposed of (whether voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law, by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy)) prior to the end of the Vesting Period with respect to such shares of Restricted Stock, provided, however, that (i) the Vesting Period shall terminate and all of the Restricted Stock shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable upon the occurrence of a Change of Control as defined in the Stock Plan, and (ii) Executive may, with the prior written approval of the Vice President of Human Resources of Newmont, transfer all or any portion of his Restricted Stock to a family trust or similar vehicle for personal estate planning purposes, in the manner and subject to the terms prescribed by the Vice President of Human Resources of Newmont.

4. Termination of Employment. If (i) Executive dies, (ii) Executive’s employment by Newmont or any subsidiary terminates by reason of Disability (as determined under the terms of the Long-Term Disability Plan of Newmont), or (iii) there shall occur a Change of Control as defined in the Stock Plan, in any such case prior to the completion of the Vesting Period, the Vesting Period shall terminate, and all of the shares of Restricted Stock not theretofore forfeited in accordance with this Agreement shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable, as of the date of Executive’s death or other termination of employment, referred to in clause (i) or (ii), or immediately prior to the date of any such event referred to in clause (iii). If Executive ceases to be employed by Newmont and/or a Subsidiary prior to completion of the Vesting Period under circumstances other than those set forth in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence, Executive agrees that the Restricted Stock will be immediately and unconditionally forfeited and revert to Newmont, without any action required by Executive or Newmont, to the extent that the Vesting Period had not ended in accordance with paragraph 1 hereof.

5. Stock Power. Upon expiration or termination of the Vesting Period, the stock power (if any) applicable to shares of Restricted Stock theretofore subject to such forfeiture but not forfeited shall lapse, and such shares shall be fully vested and nonforfeitable.

6. Rights as a Stockholder. Executive shall have all rights of a stockholder (including, without limitation, dividend and voting rights) with respect to the Restricted Stock, for record dates occurring on or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the date any such shares of Restricted Stock are forfeited in accordance with this Agreement. Any dividends paid in the form of Newmont stock or other property or distributions other than normal dividends (whether in cash, stock, securities or derivative securities, or otherwise, including, without limitation, any change in the shares of Restricted Stock pursuant to Paragraph 16 of the Stock Plan paid or made with respect to the Restricted Stock shall, during the Vesting Period, be deposited with Newmont or the escrow holder appointed pursuant to paragraph 2 hereof, together with a stock power endorsed in blank or other appropriate instrument of transfer, or credited to Executive’s book-entry account established under paragraph 2 hereof, as applicable, and shall be subject to the same restrictions (including, without limitation, the Vesting Period) as such Restricted Stock and otherwise considered to be such Restricted Stock for all purposes hereunder.

2

7. Withholding Taxes. Executive acknowledges the existence of federal, state, local and foreign income tax and employment tax withholding obligations with respect to the Restricted Stock and agrees that such obligations must be met. If Executive properly elects, within the period permitted under Section 83(b) of the Code after the date on which the shares of Restricted Stock are transferred to Executive, to be taxed with respect to all or any portion of such shares as of the date of transfer rather than the date or dates upon which Executive would otherwise be taxable under Section 83(a) of the Code, Executive shall file a copy of such election with Newmont within the period prescribed by the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 83(b) of the Code, and Executive agrees to pay to Newmont in cash at the time of such election any taxes required to be withheld with respect to such shares. To the extent that the immediately preceding sentence does not apply, upon the expiration or termination of the Vesting Period or any portion thereof with respect to shares of Restricted Stock, or upon such other date as of which the value of any shares of Restricted Stock first becomes includible in Executive’s gross income for tax purposes (such shares, the “Vested Stock”), Executive hereby (a) directs Newmont to deliver on behalf of Executive to Mellon Investor Services, or its successors or assigns, or such other entity that may be designated by Newmont for such purpose from time to time (the “Designated Entity”), the number of shares of vested Restricted Stock that will result in proceeds at least equal to the amount of any withholding taxes due in respect of the vested Restricted Stock, and (b) directs the Designated Entity (or its designated broker) to sell such shares on behalf of Executive and to deliver to Newmont a portion of the proceeds from such sale equal to the amount of such withholding taxes in respect of such vested Restricted Stock (or portion thereof); provided, however, that if the Newmont Committee determines that such a sale of shares of vested Restricted Stock would or may be prohibited by Newmont’s Stock Trading Policy or by any applicable law, regulation or rule, such shares shall not be sold in the manner described above but instead a portion of the shares of vested Restricted Stock shall be withheld by Newmont and returned to Newmont’s Treasury Account in satisfaction of such applicable withholding taxes (based on the minimum statutory tax withholding rates that are applicable to supplemental taxable income); provided further, however, that, in lieu of any such sale or retention of shares, Executive may elect to pay any such taxes to Newmont in cash by filing written notice of such election with Newmont not less than five (5) days prior to the date any shares of Restricted Stock become vested Restricted Stock and remitting such payment to Newmont not later than such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Newmont Committee may, in its sole discretion, require Executive to agree to not make an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code as a condition for the receipt of the Restricted Stock hereunder.

8. Acknowledgements.

(a) Executive hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Stock Plan and agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions thereof, including the terms and provisions adopted after the award of the Restricted Stock but prior to the completion of the Vesting Period, subject to the last paragraph of Paragraph 19 of the Stock Plan as in effect on the date hereof. If and to the extent that any provision contained in this Agreement is inconsistent with the Stock Plan, the Stock Plan shall govern.

(b) This Agreement and the obligation of Newmont to transfer shares of Restricted Stock hereunder shall be subject to (a) all applicable federal and state 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.

3

9. Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted hereunder shall, if to Newmont, be in accordance with the Stock Plan, and, if to Executive, be in writing and delivered in person or by registered or certified mail or overnight courier, postage prepaid, addressed to Executive at his last known address as set forth in Newmont’s records.
