Change of Control Termination
Agreement


“Golden Parachute
Agreement”


 


This Change
of Control Termination Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of 
November 13, 2013 by and between Standard Gold Holdings, Inc., (the “Company”)
with its office at 611 Walnut Street, Gadsden, Alabama 35901 and Sharon Ullman, residing at 310 First Ave, Suite 4B, New York,
NY 10009.


 


Recitals


 


A. The Company considers
it essential to the best interests of its stockholders to foster the continuous employment of key management personnel. In
this connection, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) recognizes that, as is the case
with many publicly held Companies, the possibility of a change in control may exist and that such possibility, and the uncertainty
and questions which it may raise among management, may result in the departure or distraction of management personnel to
the detriment of the Company and its stockholders.


 


B. The Board has determined
that appropriate steps should be taken to reinforce and encourage the continued attention and dedication of members of the Company’s
management, including yourself, to their assigned duties without distraction in the face of potentially disturbing circumstances
arising from the possibility of a change in control of the Company.


 


C. In order to induce you
to remain in the employ of the Company and in consideration of your agreement set forth below, the Company agrees that you shall
receive the severance benefits set forth in this Agreement in the event your employment with the Company is terminated
subsequent to a “change in control of the Company” (as defined in Section 2 below) under the circumstances described
below. This Agreement is meant to supersede any other specific written agreements which may have been entered into between yourself
and the Company concerning termination of employment.


 


Therefore, in consideration
of your continued employment and the parties agreement to be bound by the terms contained in this Agreement, the parties agree
as follows:


 


1. Term of Agreement.
This Agreement shall commence on this date and shall continue in effect through May 16, 2016; provided, however, that
commencing on May 16, 2016 and each May 16th afterwards, the term of this Agreement shall automatically be
extended for one additional year unless, no later than the preceding March 1, the Company shall have given notice that it does
not wish to extend this Agreement; provided, further, if a change in control of the Company shall have occurred during the original
or any extended term of this Agreement, this Agreement shall continue in effect for a period of 12 months beyond the
month in which such change in control occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and provided no change of control shall have
occurred, this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) your termination of employment with
the Company, or (ii) the Company’s furnishing you with notice of termination, irrespective of the effective date of such
termination.


 




    	9



    	 



    

 


2. Change in Control.
No benefits shall be payable under this Agreement unless there shall have been a change in control of the Company, as set forth
below. For purposes of this Agreement, a “change in control of the Company” shall mean a change of control of
a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), whether or not the Company is in fact required to
comply with that regulation, provided that, without limitation, such a change in control shall be deemed to have occurred if (A)
any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act), other than a trustee or other
fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or a Company owned, directly or indirectly,
by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company,
is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of
securities of the Company representing 30% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities;
or (B) during any period of two consecutive years (not including any period prior to the execution of this Agreement), individuals
who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board and any new director (other than a director designated by a person who
has entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in clauses (A) or (D) of this Section) whose election
by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds
of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination
for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority; (C) the Company enters into an agreement,
the consummation of which would result in the occurrence of a change in control of the Company; or (D) the stockholders of
the Company approve a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other Company, other than a merger or consolidation which
would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to it continuing to represent (either by remaining
outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) at least 30% of the combined voting power of
the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or the
stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition
by the Company of all or substantially all the Company’s assets.


 


3. Termination Following
Change in Control. If any of the events described in Section 2 above constituting a change in control of the Company shall
have occurred, you shall be entitled to the benefits provided in Subsection 4(iii) below upon the subsequent termination of your
employment during the term of this Agreement unless such termination is (A) because of your death, Disability or Retirement, (B)
by the Company for Cause, or (C) by you other than for Good Reason.


 


(i). Disability;
Retirement. If, as a result of your incapacity due to physical or mental illness, you shall have been absent from the full-time
performance of your duties with the Company for six consecutive months, and within 30 days after written notice of termination
is given you shall not have returned to the full-time performance of your duties, your employment may be terminated for “Disability.”
Termination by the Company or you of your employment based on “Retirement” shall mean termination in accordance with
the Company’s retirement policy, including early retirement, generally applicable to its salaried employees or in accordance
with any retirement arrangement established with your consent with respect to you.


 




    	10



    	 



    

 


(ii). Cause.
Termination by the Company of your employment for “Cause” shall mean termination upon (A) the willful and continued
failure by you to substantially perform your duties with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from your incapacity
due to physical or mental illness or any such actual or anticipated failure after the issuance by you of a Notice of Termination
for Good Reason as defined in Subsections 3(iv) and 3(iii), respectively) after a written demand for substantial performance is
delivered to you by the Board, which demand specifically identifies the manner in which the Board believes that you have not substantially
performed your duties, or (B) the willful engaging by you in conduct which is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company,
monetarily or otherwise. For purposes of this Subsection, no act, or failure to act, on your part shall be deemed “willful”
unless done, or omitted to be done, by you not in good faith and without reasonable belief that your action or omission was in
the best interest of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause unless
and until there shall have been delivered to you a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters
of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice to you
and an opportunity for you, together with your counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that in the good faith opinion of
the Board you were guilty of conduct set forth above in clauses (A) or (B) of the first sentence of this Subsection and specifying
the particulars in detail.


 


(iii). Good Reason.
You shall be entitled to terminate your employment for Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall
mean, without your express written consent, the occurrence after a change in control of the Company of any of the following circumstances
unless, in the case of paragraph (A), (E), (F), (G) or (H), such circumstances are fully corrected prior to the Date of Termination
specified in the Notice of Termination, as defined in Subsections 3(v) and 3(iv), respectively, given in respect of them:


 


(A) the assignment
to you of any duties inconsistent with your status and position as it exists immediately prior to the change in control of the
Company or a substantial adverse alteration in the nature or status of your responsibilities from those in effect immediately prior
to the change in control of the Company;


 


(B) a reduction
by the Company in your annual base salary as in effect on this date or as the same may be increased from time to time except for
across-the-board salary reductions similarly affecting all key employees of the Company and all key employees of any person in
control of the Company;


 


(C) your relocation
to a location not within 25 miles of your present office or job location, except for required travel on the Company’s business
to an extent substantially consistent with your present business travel obligations;


 


(D) the failure
by the Company, without your consent, to pay to you any portion of your current compensation, or to pay to you any portion of an
installment of deferred compensation under any deferred compensation program of the Company, within seven days of the date such
compensation is due;


 




    	11



    	 



    

 


(E) the failure
by the Company to continue in effect any bonus to which you were entitled, or any compensation plan in which you participate immediately
prior to the change in control of the Company which is material to your total compensation, including but not limited to any Stock
Option Plans, 401(k) Pre-Tax Retirement Savings Plan, and Flexible Benefit Plan, or any substitute plans adopted prior to the change
of control in the Company, unless an equitable arrangement (embodied in an ongoing substitute or alternative plan) has been made
with respect to such plan, or the failure by the Company to continue your participation in it (or in such substitute or alternative
plan) on a basis not materially less favorable, both in terms of the amount of benefits provided and the level of your participation
relative to other participants, as existed at the time of the change in control;


 


(F) the failure
by the Company to continue to provide you with benefits substantially similar to those enjoyed by you under any of the Company’s
life insurance, medical, health and accident, or disability plans in which you were participating at the time of the change in
control of the Company, the failure to continue to provide you with a Company automobile or allowance in lieu of it, if you were
provided with such an automobile or allowance in lieu of it at the time of the change of control of the Company, the taking of
any action by the Company which would directly or indirectly materially reduce any of such benefits or deprive you of any material
fringe benefit enjoyed by you at the time of the change in control of the Company, or the failure by the Company to provide you
with the number of paid vacation days to which you are entitled on the basis of years of service with the Company in accordance
with the Company’s normal vacation policy in effect at the time of the change in control of the Company;


 


(G) the failure
of the Company to obtain a satisfactory agreement from any successor to assume and agree to perform this Agreement, as contemplated
in Section 5 of this Agreement; or


 


(H) any purported
termination of your employment which is not effected pursuant to a Notice of Termination satisfying the requirements of Subsection
(iv) below (and, if applicable, the requirements of Subsection (ii) above); for purposes of this Agreement, no such purported termination
shall be effective.


 


Your rights to
terminate your employment pursuant to this Subsection shall not be affected by your incapacity due to physical or mental illness.
Your continued employment shall not constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any circumstance constituting
Good Reason under this Agreement. In the event you deliver Notice of Termination based upon circumstances set forth in Paragraph
(A), (E), (F), (G) or (H) above, which are fully corrected prior to the Date of Termination set forth in your Notice of Termination,
such Notice of Termination shall be deemed withdrawn and of no further force or effect.


 




    	12



    	 



    

 


(iv). Notice
of Termination. Any purported termination of your employment by the Company or by you shall be communicated by written Notice of
Termination to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 6 of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice
of Termination” shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon
and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of your employment
under the provision so indicated.


 


(v). Date of
Termination, Etc. “Date of Termination” shall mean (A) if your employment is terminated for Disability, 30 days after
Notice of Termination is given (provided that you shall not have returned to the full-time performance of your duties during such
30-day period), and (B) if your employment is terminated pursuant to Subsection (ii) or (iii) above or for any other reason (other
than Disability), the date specified in the Notice of Termination (which, in the case of a termination pursuant to Subsection (ii)
above shall not be less than 30 days, and in the case of a termination pursuant to Subsection (iii) above shall not be less than
15 nor more than 60 days, respectively, from the date such Notice of Termination is given); provided that if within 15 days after
any Notice of Termination is given, or, if later, prior to the Date of Termination (as determined without regard to this provision),
the party receiving such Notice of Termination notifies the other party that a dispute exists concerning the termination, the Date
of Termination shall be the date on which the dispute is finally determined, either by mutual written agreement of the parties,
by a binding arbitration award, or by a final judgment, order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction (which is not appealable
or with respect to which the time for appeal has expired and no appeal has been perfected); provided further that the Date of Termination
shall be extended by a notice of dispute only if such notice is given in good faith and the party giving such notice pursues the
resolution of such dispute with reasonable diligence. Notwithstanding the pendency of any such dispute, the Company will continue
to pay you your full compensation in effect when the notice giving rise to the dispute was given (including, but not limited to,
base salary) and continue you as a participant in all compensation, benefit and insurance plans in which you were participating
when the notice giving rise to the dispute was given, until the dispute is finally resolved in accordance with this Subsection.
Amounts paid under this Subsection are in addition to all other amounts due under this Agreement and shall not be offset against
or reduce any other amounts due under this Agreement except to the extent otherwise provided in subsection 4(iv).


 


4. Compensation Upon
Termination or During Disability. Following a change in control of the Company, as defined by Section 2, upon termination of
your employment or during a period of disability you shall be entitled to the following benefits:


 


(i). During any
period that you fail to perform your full-time duties with the Company as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness,
you shall continue to receive your base salary at the rate in effect at the commencement of any such period, together with all
amounts payable to you under any compensation plan of the Company during such period, until this Agreement is terminated pursuant
to Section 3(i) above. Thereafter, or in the event your employment shall be terminated by the Company or by you for Retirement,
or by reason of your death, your benefits shall be determined under the Company’s retirement, insurance and other compensation
programs then in effect in accordance with the terms of such programs.

(ii). If your
employment shall be terminated by the Company for Cause or by you other than for Good Reason, Disability, death or Retirement,
the Company shall pay you your full base salary through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect at the time Notice of Termination
is given, plus all other amounts and benefits to which you are entitled under any compensation plan of the Company at the time
such payments are due, and the Company shall have no further obligations to you under this Agreement.


 


(iii). If your
employment by the Company shall be terminated (a) by the Company other than for Cause, Retirement or Disability or (b) by you for
Good Reason, then you shall be entitled to the benefits provided below:


 


(A). The Company
shall pay you your full base salary through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect at the time Notice of Termination is
given, plus all other amounts and benefits to which you are entitled under any compensation plan of the Company, at the time such
payments are due, except as otherwise provided below.


 


(B). In lieu of
any further salary payments to you for periods subsequent to the Date of Termination, the Company shall pay as severance pay to
you a lump sum severance payment (together with the payments provided in paragraphs C and D, below, the “Severance Payments”)
equal to two times the sum of your annual base salary in effect immediately prior to the occurrence of the circumstance giving
rise to the Notice of Termination given in respect of them.


 


(C). The Company
shall pay to you any deferred compensation, including, but not limited to deferred bonuses, allocated or credited to you or your
account as of the Date of Termination.


 


(D). In lieu of
shares of common stock of the Company (the “Company’s Shares”) issuable upon exercise of outstanding options
(“Options”), if any, granted to you under the Company’s Stock Option Plans (which Options shall be cancelled
upon the making of the payment referred to below) you shall receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the excess of
the closing price of the Company’s Shares as reported on the NASDAQ-NMS Automatic Quotation System on or nearest the Date
of Termination (or, if not so reported, on the basis of the average of the lowest asked and highest bid prices on or nearest the
Date of Termination), over the per share exercise price of each Option held by you (whether or not then fully exercisable) plus
the amount of any applicable cash appreciation rights, times (ii) the number of the Company’s Shares covered by each such
Option.


 


(E). The Company
shall also pay to you all legal fees and expenses incurred by you as a result of such termination including all such fees and expenses
incurred by you as a result of such termination (including all such fees and expenses, if any, incurred in contesting or disputing
any such termination or in seeking to obtain or enforce any right or benefit provided by this Agreement or in connection with any
tax audit or proceeding to the extent attributable to the application of Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the “Code”) to any payment or benefit provided under this Agreement)).


 




    	14



    	 



    

 


(F). The payments
provided for in paragraphs (B), (C), and (D) above, shall be made no later than the fifth day following the Date of Termination,
provided, however, that if the amounts of such payments cannot be finally determined on or before such day, the Company shall pay
to you on such day an estimate, as determined in good faith by the Company, of the minimum amount of such payments and shall pay
the remainder of such payments (together with interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code) as soon as the
amount can be determined but in no event later than the 30th day after the Date of Termination. In the event that the amount of
the estimated payments exceeds the amount subsequently determined to have been due, such excess shall constitute a loan by the
Company to you payable on the fifth day after demand by the Company (together with interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B)
of the Code).


 


(iv). In the
event that you are a “disqualified individual” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, the parties expressly
agree that the payments described in this Section 4 and all other payments to you under any other agreements or arrangements with
any persons which constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code are collectively subject
to an overall maximum limit. Such maximum limit shall be $1 less than the aggregate amount which would otherwise cause any such
payments to be considered a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, as determined by the
Company. Accordingly, to the extent that such payments would be considered a “parachute payment” with respect to you,
then the portions of such payments shall be reduced or eliminated in the following order until the remaining change of control
termination payments with respect to you is within the maximum described in this subsection (iv):


 


(A) First, any
cash payment to you;


 


(B) Second, any
change of control termination payments not described herein; and


 


(C) Third, any
forgiveness of indebtedness of yours to the Company.


 


You expressly and
irrevocably waive any and all rights to receive any change of control termination payments, which exceed the maximum limit described
in this subsection (iv).


 


(v). You shall
not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Section 4 by seeking other employment or otherwise,
nor shall the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this Section 4 be reduced by any compensation earned by you as the
result of employment by another employer, by retirement benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be owed by you to the
Company, or otherwise except as specifically provided in this Section 4.


 




    	15



    	 



    

 


(vi). In addition
to all other amounts payable to you under this Section 4, you shall be entitled to receive all benefits payable to you under the
Company’s 401(k) Pre-Tax Retirement Savings Plan and any other plan or agreement relating to retirement benefits.


 


5. Successors; Binding
Agreement.


 


(i). The Company
will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially
all of the 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 and agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and
shall entitle you to compensation from the Company in the same amount and on the same terms as you would be entitled to under this
Agreement if you terminate your employment for Good Reason following a change in control of the Company, except that for purposes
of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Date of Termination.
As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as defined above and any successor to its business and/or
assets as which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law, or otherwise.


 


(ii). This Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by your personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, distributees,
and legatees. If you should die while any amount would still be payable to you if you had continued to live, all such amounts,
unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to your legatee or other
designee or, if there is no such designee, to your estate.


 


6. Notice. For the
purpose of this Agreement, all notices and other communications provided for in the Agreement shall be in writing and shall be
deemed to have been duly given when delivered or mailed by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested,
postage prepaid, addressed to the respective addresses set forth on the first page of this Agreement, provided that all notices
to the Company shall be directed to the attention of the Board with a copy to the Secretary of the Company, or to such other address
as either party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance with this Agreement, except that notice of change of address
shall be effective only upon receipt.


 


7. Miscellaneous.
No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to
in writing and signed by you and such officer as may be specifically designated by the Board. No waiver by either party to this
Agreement at any time of any breach by the other party of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to
be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any
prior or subsequent time. No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject
matter of this Agreement have been made by either party which are not expressly set forth in this Agreement. The validity, interpretation,
construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York. All references to sections
of the Exchange Act or the Code shall be deemed also to refer to any successor provisions to such sections. Any payments provided
for shall be paid net of any applicable withholding or deduction required under federal, state or local law. The obligations of
the Company under Section 4 shall survive the expiration of the term of this Agreement.

8. Validity. The
invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other
provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.


 


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


 


10. Arbitration.
Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in the
State of New York, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Judgment may be entered
on the arbitrator’s award in any court having jurisdiction; provided, however, that you shall be entitled to seek specific
performance of your right to be paid until the Date of Termination during the pendency of any dispute or controversy arising under
or in connection with this Agreement.


 


11. Entire Agreement.
This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding of the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all prior written
or oral agreements or understandings with respect to such subject matter.


 


If this letter sets forth
our agreement on its subject matter, kindly sign and return to the Company the enclosed copy of this letter which will then constitute
our agreement on this subject.


 


Sincerely,
