Exhibit 10.2
 
SOUTH AMERICAN GOLD CORP.

CONSULTING AGREEMENT

This CONSULTING AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of June 24, 2011
(the “Effective Time”), by and between SOUTH AMERICAN GOLD CORP., a Nevada
corporation, (the “Company”) and BROOKVILLE ENTERPRISES, INC. (the
“Consultant”).  In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set
forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

1.           Position. The Company retains Consultant to serve as its President
and Chief Executive Officer.

2.           Duties. Consultant agrees to discharge the duties, functions and
responsibilities commensurate with his position and such other duties and
responsibilities as may be prescribed from time to time by the Board of
Directors of the Company (the “Board”). Consultant shall devote such business
time, attention and energies reasonably necessary to the diligent and faithful
performance of the services to the Company and its affiliates.

3.            Term. This Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Time and,
unless terminated as set forth in Section 7, continue for a period of one-year;
provided, however, that on each anniversary of the Effective Time the term of
the Agreement shall automatically be extended for an additional one-year period
(restoring the initial one-year term), unless either party notifies the other
party in writing at least 30 days prior to such anniversary.  The term of this
Agreement as in effect from time to time shall be referred to as the “Term.”

4.           Compensation. During the Term, the Company shall pay Consultant, or
at Consultant’s option his personal service company, at salary of seven thousand
five hundred dollars ($7,500.00) for every month of service payable at the time
and in the manner dictated by the Company’s standard payroll policies. The
monthly rate of compensation may be periodically reviewed and increased (but not
decreased without Consultant’s express written consent) at the discretion of the
Board or Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) to reflect, among
other matters, cost of living increases and performance results (such Base
Monthly Rate, including any increases pursuant to this Section 4, the “Monthly
Rate”).

5.            Other Compensation and Fringe Benefits. Consultant shall be
entitled to the standard Company benefits enjoyed by the Company’s other top
executives as a group during the Term.

6.           Expense Reimbursement. In addition to the compensation and benefits
provided herein, the Company shall, upon receipt of appropriate documentation,
reimburse Consultant each month for his reasonable travel, business and
professional memberships, lodging, entertainment, promotion and other ordinary
and necessary business expenses to the extent such reimbursement is permitted
under the Company’s expense reimbursement policy.

7.           Termination of Consultant. The Company or Consultant may terminate
Consultant’s service with the Company at any time and for any reason in
accordance with Subsection 7(a) below. The Term shall be deemed to have ended on
the last day of Consultant’s service with the Company. The Term shall terminate
automatically upon Consultant’s death.
 
 

 
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 

 

 
(a)
Notice of Termination.  Any purported termination of Consultant (other than by
reason of death) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination (as
defined herein) from one party to the other in accordance with the notice
provisions contained in Section 21. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of
Termination” shall mean a notice that indicates the Date of Termination (as that
term is defined in Subsection 7(b)) and, with respect to a termination due to
Cause (as that term is defined in Subsection 7(d)), Disability (as that term is
defined in Subsection 7(e)) or Good Reason (as that term is defined in
Subsection 7(f)), sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances
that are alleged to provide a basis for such termination. A Notice of
Termination from the Company shall specify whether the termination is with or
without Cause, unless both parties mutually agree on the termination, or due to
Consultant’s Disability. A Notice of Termination from Consultant shall specify
whether the termination is with or without Good Reason or due to Disability.

 
(b)
Date of Termination.  For purposes of this Agreement, the “Date of Termination”
shall mean the date specified in the Notice of Termination (but in no event
shall such date be earlier than the thirtieth (30th) day following the date the
Notice of Termination is given) or the date of Consultant’s death.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Date of Termination occur
until Consultant experiences a “separation from service” within the meaning of
Code Section 409A, and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, the date on which such separation from service takes place shall be
the “Date of Termination.”

 
(c)
No Waiver. The failure to set forth any fact or circumstance in a Notice of
Termination, which fact or circumstance was not known to the party giving the
Notice of Termination when the notice was given, shall not constitute a waiver
of the right to assert such fact or circumstance in an attempt to enforce any
right under or provision of this Agreement.

 
(d)
Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, a termination for “Cause” means a
termination by the Company based upon Consultant’s: (i) persistent failure to
perform duties consistent with a commercially reasonable standard of care (other
than due to a physical or mental impairment or due to an action or inaction
directed by the Company that would otherwise constitute Good Reason); (ii)
willful neglect of duties (other than due to a physical or mental impairment or
due to an action or inaction directed by the Company that would otherwise
constitute Good Reason); (iii) conviction of, or pleading  nolo contendere to,
criminal or other illegal activities involving dishonesty; (iv) material breach
of this Agreement; or (v) failure to materially cooperate with or impeding an
investigation authorized by the Board. Termination of cause requires unanimous
recommendation by the Compensation committee, together with such recommendation
indicating written communication the Committee or Board has provided Consultant
at least 30 days prior to the termination letter advising the deficiencies in
performance described herein.

 
 

 
 
- 2 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
 

 
(e)
Disability. For purposes of this Agreement, a termination based upon
“Disability” means a termination by the Company based upon Consultant’s
entitlement to long-term disability benefits under the Company’s long-term
disability plan or policy, as the case may be, as in effect on the Date of
Termination.

 
(f)
Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, a termination for “Good Reason”
means a termination by Consultant during the Term based upon the occurrence
(without Consultant’s express written consent) of any of the following:

 
(i)
a material diminution in Consultant’s position or title, or the assignment of
duties to Consultant that are materially inconsistent with Consultant’s position
or title in effect as of immediately following the Effective Time;

 
(ii)
a material diminution in Consultant’s Base Monthly Rate or bonus opportunity;

 
(iii)
within six (6) months immediately preceding or within one (1) year immediately
following a Change in Control: (A) a material adverse change in Consultant’s
status, authority or responsibility (e.g. The Company has determined that a
change in the department or functional group over which Consultant has
managerial authority would constitute such a material adverse change); (B) a
requirement that Consultant report to a corporate officer or Consultant instead
of reporting directly to the Board; (C) a material diminution in the budget over
which Consultant has managing authority; or (D) a material change in the
geographic location of Consultant’s principal place of service with the Company;
or

 
(iv)
a material breach by the Company of any of its obligations under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Consultant being placed on a paid leave for any
period of time pending a determination of whether there is a basis to terminate
Consultant for Cause shall not constitute Good Reason.  Consultant’s continued
service with the Company shall not constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights
with respect to, any act or failure to act constituting Good Reason hereunder;
provided, however, that no such event described above shall constitute Good
Reason unless:

 
(1)
Consultant gives Notice of Termination to the Company specifying the condition
or event relied upon for such termination either: (x) within sixty (60) days of
the initial existence of such event; or (y) in the case of an event predating a
Change in Control, within sixty (60) days of the Change in Control; and

 
(2)
the Company fails to cure the condition or event constituting Good Reason within
thirty (30) days following receipt of Consultant’s Notice of Termination (the
“Cure Period”). In the event that the Company fails to remedy the condition
constituting Good Reason during the applicable Cure Period, Consultant’s
“separation from service” (within the meaning of Code Section 409A) must occur,
if at all, within ninety (90) days following such Cure Period in order for such
termination as a result of such condition to constitute a termination for Good
Reason.

(a)
Termination by the Company for a Reason Other than Cause, Death or Disability

(b)
Termination by the Company for Cause and by Consultant without Good Reason. If
Consultant is terminated by the Company for Cause or by  Consultant without Good

(iv)
during any period of one year during the Term or any extensions thereof,
individuals, who, at the beginning of such period, constitute the Board, cease

disposition, other than a sale, transfer or other disposition to an entity (x)
which immediately following such sale, transfer or other disposition owns,
directly or indirectly, at least 50% of the Company’s outstanding voting
securities or  (y) 50% or more of whose outstanding voting securities is
immediately following such sale, transfer or other disposition owned, directly
or indirectly, by the Company. For purposes of the foregoing clause, the sale of
stock of a subsidiary of the Company (or the assets of such subsidiary) shall be
treated as a sale of assets of the Company; or

 
(vi)
the approval by the stockholders of a plan or proposal for the liquidation or
dissolution of the Company.

 
(e)
Six-Month Delay. To the extent Consultant is a “specified Employee,” as defined
in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code and the regulations and other guidance
promulgated thereunder and any elections made by the Company in accordance
therewith, notwithstanding the timing of payment provided in any other Section
of this Agreement, no payment, distribution or benefit under this Agreement that
constitutes a distribution of deferred compensation (within the meaning of
Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-l(b)) upon Consultant’s “separation from
service” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)), after
taking into account all available exemptions, that would otherwise be payable

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

9.           Parachute Payment Limit. If any payments or benefits paid or
provided or to be paid or provided to Consultant or for his benefit pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement or otherwise in connection with, or arising out of,
his service with the Company or its subsidiaries or the termination thereof (a
“Payment” and, collectively, the “Payments”) would be subject to the excise tax
(the “Excise Tax”) imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then, the Payments shall
be reduced to one dollar less than what would constitute a “parachute payment”
under Section 280G of the Code (the “Scaled Back Amount”).

10.           Non-Delegation of Consultant’s Rights. The obligations, rights and
benefits of
Consultant hereunder are personal and may not be delegated, assigned or
transferred in any manner whatsoever, nor are such obligations, rights or
benefits subject to involuntary alienation, assignment or transfer.

11.           Confidential Information. Consultant acknowledges that he will
occupy a position of trust and confidence and will have access to and learn
substantial information about the Company and its affiliates and their
operations that is confidential or not generally known in the industry
including, without limitation, information that relates to purchasing, sales,
customers, marketing, and the financial positions and financing arrangements of
the Company and its affiliates. Consultant agrees that all such information is
proprietary or confidential, or constitutes trade secrets and is the sole
property of the Company and/or its affiliates, as the case may be.

Consultant will keep confidential, and will not reproduce, copy or disclose to
any other person or firm, any such information or any documents or information
relating to the Company’s or its affiliates’ methods, processes, customers,
accounts, analyses, systems, charts, programs, procedures, correspondence or
records, or any other documents used or owned by the Company or any of its
affiliates, nor will Consultant advise, discuss with or in any way assist any
other person, firm or entity in obtaining or learning about any of the items
described in this Section 11. Accordingly, Consultant agrees that during the
Term and at all times thereafter he will not disclose, or permit or encourage
anyone else to disclose, any such information, nor will he utilize any such
information, either alone or with others, outside the scope of his duties and
responsibilities with the Company and its affiliates.

12.           Return of the Company Documents. Upon termination of the Term,
Consultant shall return immediately to the Company all records and documents of
or pertaining to the Company or its affiliates and shall not make or retain any
copy or extract of any such record or document, or any other property of the
Company or its affiliates.

13.           Actions. The parties agree and acknowledge that the rights
conveyed by this Agreement are of a unique and special nature and that the
Company will not have an adequate remedy at law in the event of a failure by
Consultant to abide by its terms and conditions, nor will money damages
adequately compensate for such injury. Therefore, it is agreed between and
hereby acknowledged by the parties that, in the event of a breach by Consultant
of any of the obligations of this Agreement, the Company shall have the right,
among other rights, to damages sustained thereby and to obtain an injunction or
decree of specific performance from any court of competent jurisdiction to
restrain or compel Consultant to perform as agreed herein. Consultant hereby
acknowledges that obligations under Sections and Subsections 11 and 12 shall
survive the Term of the Agreement and be binding by their terms at all times
subsequent to the termination of Consultant for the periods specified therein.
Nothing herein shall in any way limit or exclude any other right granted by law
or equity to the Company.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

14.           Release. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the
Company may require that, prior to payment of any amount or provision of any
benefit under Section 8, Consultant shall have executed a complete release of
the Company and its affiliates and related parties in such form as is reasonably
required by Company, and any waiting periods contained in such release shall
have expired; provided that the release shall not apply to Consultant’s rights
under the Company’s benefit plans and programs, which rights shall be determined
in accordance with the terms of such plans and programs. With respect to any
release required to receive payments owed pursuant to Section 8, the Company
must provide Consultant with the form of release no later than seven (7) days
after the Date of Termination and the release must be signed by Consultant and
returned to Company, unchanged, effective and irrevocable, no later than sixty
(60) days after the Date of Termination.

15.           No Mitigation. The Company agrees that, if Consultant is
terminated during the Term, Consultant is not required to seek other service or
Consulting or to attempt in any way to reduce any amounts payable to Consultant
by the Company hereunder.

16.           Entire Agreement and Amendment. This Agreement embodies the entire
agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject
matter of this Agreement, and supersedes and replaces all prior agreements,
understandings and commitments with respect to such subject matter. This
Agreement may be amended only by a written document signed by both parties to
this Agreement.

17.           Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the State of Colorado, excluding any conflicts
or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or
interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.

18.           Successors. This Agreement may not be assigned by Consultant. In
addition to any obligations imposed by law upon any successor to the Company,
the Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase,
merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the stock,
business and/or assets of the Company, to expressly assume and agree to perform
this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would
be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. Failure of the
Company to obtain such assumption by a successor shall be a material breach of
this Agreement. Consultant agrees and consents to any such assumption by a
successor or parent of the Company, as well as any assignment of this Agreement
by the Company for that purpose. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean
the Company as herein before defined as well as any such successor or parent
that expressly assumes this Agreement or otherwise becomes bound by all of its
terms and provisions by operation of law.

19.           Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each
of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument.

20.           Severability. If any section, subsection or provision hereof is
found for any reason whatsoever to be invalid or inoperative, that section,
subsection or provision shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the force
and validity of any other provision of this Agreement. If any covenant herein is
determined by a court to be overly broad thereby making the covenant
unenforceable, the parties agree and it is their desire that such court shall
substitute a reasonable judicially enforceable limitation in place of the
offensive part of the covenant and that as so modified the covenant shall be as
fully enforceable as if set forth herein by the parties themselves in the
modified form. The covenants of Consultant in this Agreement shall each be
construed as an agreement independent of any other provision in this Agreement,
and the existence of any claim or cause of action of Consultant against the
Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute
a defense to the enforcement by the Company of the covenants in this Agreement.

necessary and without any diminution in the value of the payments to Consultant,
which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Code Section 409A.
