A.     The
Employer, its parent, and the other subsidiaries is in the business of facilitating the exchange, buying, selling and auctioneering
of industrial equipment; and

 

B.     The
Employer and the Executive wish to enter into an employment relationship on the terms and conditions as described in this Agreement;

 

NOW THEREFORE THIS
AGREEMENT WITNESSES THAT in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and for other good and
valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by both parties, the Employer and the Executive agree
as follows:

 

		1.	EMPLOYMENT

 

		a.	The Employer agrees to
                                         employ the Executive pursuant to the terms and conditions described in this Agreement,
                                         including the appendices to this Agreement, and the Executive hereby accepts and agrees
                                         to such employment. Unless otherwise defined, the defined terms in this Agreement will
                                         have the same meaning in the appendices hereto.

 

		b.	The Executive’s
                                         employment under this Agreement is conditional on the Executive obtaining authorization
                                         and documentation to legally work in Canada (“Work Authorization”)
                                         within 4 months after execution of this Agreement. It is a condition of the Executive’s
                                         continued employment that the Executive maintain the necessary work authorization to
                                         work in Canada throughout the duration of the Executive’s employment. The parties
                                         agree to work together on a best efforts basis to obtain from the appropriate Canadian
                                         governmental authorities, and maintain, such Work Authorization. During the period after
                                         the Commencement Date but prior to issuance of the Work Authorization, the Executive
                                         shall provide services under this Agreement from the Executive’s home office in,
                                         USA. It is expected that Executive relocates to Vancouver with-in 4 months of receiving
                                         Canadian work authorization. 

 

If
the Executive is unable to obtain the Work Authorization within 4 months after execution of this Agreement, or if the Executive
is subsequently unable to renew the Work Authorization, the Employer will offer the Executive employment in the United States,
subject to a revised US employment agreement containing substantially the same terms as this Agreement, on the condition that
the Executive’s employment under the US employment agreement will be for a fixed term of 15 months and the Executive will
cooperate with the Employer to obtain the Work Authorization to resume work in Canada prior to the end of the fixed term. The
Executive agrees that prior to the expiry of the term of the US employment agreement, he will accept continued employment in Canada
on the terms of this Agreement, which will supercede the US employment agreement.

                                         such duties and responsibilities as may be assigned by the Employer from time to time.

                                         ACTIVITIES

 

		a.	The Executive represents
                                         and warrants to the Employer that the Executive has no existing common law, contractual

		3.	POLICIES

 

		a.	The Executive agrees to
                                         comply with all generally applicable written policies applying to the Employer’s

                                         agrees that the introduction, amendment and administration of such generally applicable
                                         written policies are within the sole discretion of the Employer. If the Employer introduces,
                                         amends or deletes such generally applicable written policies, such introduction, deletion
                                         or amendment will not constitute a constructive dismissal or breach of this Agreement.
                                         If there is a direct conflict between this Agreement and any such policy, this Agreement
                                         will prevail to the extent of the inconsistency.

		ii.	50% in performance share
                                         units, vesting on the third anniversary of the grant date based on meeting pre-established
                                         performance criteria, with the number of share units that ultimately vest ranging from
                                         0% to 200% of target based on actual performance.

 

		c.	For 2016, both the STI
                                         and LTI will be prorated for the appropriate portion of the year based on the April 18,

                                         conditions for LTI Grants (including but not limited to the provisions upon termination

                                         from time to time by RBA Pubco.

 

		e.	Notwithstanding any other
                                         provisions in this Agreement to the contrary, the Executive will be subject to any clawback/recoupment
                                         policy of the Employer in effect from time-to-time, allowing the recovery of incentive
                                         compensation previously paid or payable to the Executive in cases of misconduct or material
                                         financial restatement, whether pursuant to the requirements of Dodd-Frank Wall Street
                                         Reform and the Consumer Protection Act, the listing requirements of any national
                                         securities exchange on which common stock of RBA Pubco is listed, or otherwise.

 

		f.	In the event of a restatement
                                         of the financial results of Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers Incorporated (“RBA Pubco”)
                                         (other than due to a change in applicable accounting rules or interpretations), the Board
                                         of Directors of RBA Pubco (the “Board”) shall determine whether any performance-based
                                         compensation (pursuant to both short-term and long-term incentive compensation plans)
                                         paid or awarded to the Executive during the three years preceding such restatement (the
                                         “Awarded Compensation”), would have been a lower amount had it been calculated
                                         based on such restated financial statement (such lower amount being referred to herein
                                         as the “Adjusted Compensation”). If the Board determines that the Awarded
                                         Compensation exceeds the Adjusted Compensation, then the Board may demand from the Executive
                                         the recovery of any excess of the Awarded Compensation over the Adjusted Compensation,
                                         and the Executive shall immediately forfeit and/or repay, as applicable, any such amount.

 

		5.	BENEFITS

 

		a.	The Executive will be
                                         eligible to participate in the Employer’s US group benefit plans, subject to the
                                         terms and conditions of said plans and the applicable policies of the Employer and applicable

                                         for Cause, after providing Executive with at least 30 days’ notice of such proposed
                                         termination and 15 days to remedy the alleged defect. In this Agreement, “Cause”
                                         means the wilful and continued failure by the Executive to substantially perform, or
                                         otherwise properly carry out, the Executive’s duties on behalf of RBA Pubco or
                                         an affiliate, or to follow, in any material respect, the lawful policies, procedures,
                                         instructions or directions of the Employer or any applicable affiliate (other than any
                                         such failure resulting from the Executive’s disability or incapacity due to physical
                                         or mental illness), or the Executive wilfully or intentionally engaging in illegal or
                                         fraudulent conduct, financial impropriety, intentional dishonesty, breach of duty of
                                         loyalty or any similar intentional act which is materially injurious RBA Pubco or an
                                         affiliate, or which may have the effect of materially injuring the reputation, business
                                         or business relationships of the Employer or an affiliate, or any other act or omission
                                         constituting cause for termination of employment without notice or pay in lieu of notice
                                         at common law. For the purposes of this definition, no act, or failure to act, on the
                                         part of a Executive shall be considered “wilful” unless done, or omitted
                                         to be done, by the Executive in bad faith and without reasonable belief that the Executive’s
                                         action or omissions were in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Employer and
                                         its affiliates.

In
the event of termination for Cause, all unvested stock options granted to the Executive pursuant to the terms of the RBA Pubco’s
Stock Option Plan (the “Option Plan”) will immediately be void on the date the Employer notifies the Executive of
such termination. The Executive will have 30 days from the date of termination to exercise any options which have vested prior
to the date of termination, subject to the terms and conditions of the Option Plan and the applicable individual option agreements.

 

In
the event of termination for Cause, the rights of the Executive with respect to any performance share units (“PSUs”)
granted pursuant to the RBA Pubco’s Performance Share Unit Plan (the “PSU Plan”) , and pursuant to any and all
PSU grant agreements, respectively, will be governed pursuant to the PSU Plan.

 

		b.	Termination
                                         for Good Reason: The Executive may terminate her employment with the Employer for
                                         Good Reason by delivery of written notice to the Employer within the sixty (60) day period
                                         commencing upon the occurrence of Good Reason including the basis for such Good Reason
                                         (with such termination effective thirty (30) days after such written notice is delivered
                                         to the Employer and only in the event that the Employer fails or is unable to cure such
                                         Good Reason within such thirty (30) day period). In the event of a termination of the
                                         Executive’s employment for Good Reason, the Executive will receive pay and benefits
                                         as if terminated by the Employer without Cause under Section 10 c., below, and the termination
                                         shall be regarded as a termination without Cause for purposes of the Option Plan and
                                         the PSU Plan. In this Agreement, “Good Reason” means a material adverse
                                         change by RBA Pubco or an affiliate, without the Executive’s consent, to the Executive’s

                                         Base Salary or the potential short-term or long-term incentive bonus the Executive is
                                         eligible to earn, but does not include (1) a change in the Executive’s duties and/or
                                         responsibilities arising from a change in the scope or nature of RBA Pubco’s business
                                         operations, provided such change does not adversely affect the Executive’s position
                                         or authority or (2) a change across the board affecting similar executives in a similar
                                         fashion, or (3) the inability or failure, for whatever reason, of the Executive to be
                                         able to work as needed periodically in British Columbia.

                                         the Employer with three (3) months’ notice in writing to that effect. If the Executive
                                         provides the Employer with written notice under this Section, the Employer may waive
                                         such notice, in whole or in part, in which case the Employer will pay the Executive the

In
the event of termination by the Executive as provided in this section, all unvested stock options held by the Executive will immediately
be void on the termination date of the Executive’s employment, with the Executive having 90 days from said date to exercise
any vested stock options held by the Executive. The rights of the Executive with respect to any PSUs will be as set forth in the
PSU Plan with respect to termination by the Executive.

 

		e.	Retirement:

                                         grant schedules and will remain exercisable up to the earlier of the original grant expiry
                                         date and the third anniversary of the date of retirement; provided, however, that for
                                         purposes of any award subject to Section 409A (as defined below), any termination (other
                                         than a termination for cause) after Executive’s attainment of retirement age shall
                                         be governed by the retirement provisions of such award.

                                         remaining debt will be immediately payable to the Employer and the Executive agrees to
                                         satisfy such debt within 14 days of the Termination Date or any demand for repayment.

                                         disclosure to the Employer of every such Invention. The Executive hereby irrevocably
                                         waives all moral rights that the Executive may have in every such Invention.

                                         the Employer’s expense for every such Invention in whatever countries the Employer
                                         may desire, without payment by the Employer to the Executive of any royalty, license
                                         fee, price or additional compensation.

 

		d.	The Executive acknowledges
                                         that all original works of authorship which are made by the Executive (solely or jointly
                                         with others) within the scope of the Executive’s employment and which are protectable

		a.	The Executive acknowledges
                                         that in the course of the Executive’s employment with the Employer the Executive
                                         will develop close relationships with the Employer’s clients, customers and employees,
                                         and that the Employer’s goodwill depends on the development and maintenance of

                                         goodwill and the protection of its relationships with its customers and employees are
                                         proprietary rights that the Employer is entitled to protect.

 

		b.	The Executive will not
                                         during the Applicable Period, whether individually or in partnership or jointly or in
                                         conjunction with any person or persons, as principal, agent, shareholder, director, officer,
                                         employee or in any other manner whatsoever:

                                         with the Employer (however caused) for the purposes of (a) causing or trying to cause
                                         such client or customer to cease doing business with the Employer or to reduce such business
                                         with the Employer or an affiliate by diverting it elsewhere or (b) providing products
                                         or services that are the same as or competitive with the business of the Employer or
                                         an affiliate in the area of facilitating the exchange of industrial equipment; or

 

		ii.	seek in any way to solicit,
                                         engage, persuade or entice, or attempt to solicit, engage, persuade or entice any employee
                                         of the Employer or an affiliate, to leave his or her employment with the Employer or
                                         affiliate,

 

    	 	Page 10 of 32

     

    

 

The
“Applicable Period” means twelve (12) months following termination, regardless of the reason for such termination
or the party effecting it.

 

		15.	NON-COMPETITION

 

The
Executive agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Employer, the Executive will not, directly or indirectly, in a
capacity similar to that of the Executive with the Employer, carry on, be engaged in, be concerned with or interested in, perform
services for, or be employed in a business which is the same as or competitive with the business of the Employer in the area of

		16.	REMEDIES FOR BREACH OF RESTRICTIVE
                                         COVENANTS

 

		a.	The Executive acknowledges
                                         that the restrictions contained in Sections 10 h. iii., 12, 13, 14 and 15 of this
                                         Agreement are, in view of the nature of the Employer’s business, reasonable and
                                         necessary in order to protect the legitimate interests of the Employer and that any violation
                                         of those Sections would result in irreparable injuries and harm to the Employer, and
                                         that damages alone would be an inadequate remedy.

 

		b.	The Executive hereby agrees
                                         that the Employer will be entitled to the remedies of injunction, specific performance
                                         and other equitable relief to prevent a breach or recurrence of a breach of this Agreement
                                         and that the Employer will be entitled to its reasonable legal costs and expenses, including
                                         but not limited to its attorneys’ fees, incurred in properly enforcing a provision
                                         of this Agreement.

 

		c.	Nothing contained herein
                                         will be construed as a waiver of any of the rights that the Employer may have for damages
                                         or otherwise.

 

		d.	The Executive and the
                                         Employer expressly agree that the provisions of Sections 10 h. iii., 12, 13, 14, 15,
                                         and 22 of this Agreement will survive the termination of the Executive’s employment
                                         for any reason.

 

		17.	GOVERNING LAW

 

This
Agreement will be governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia.

 

		18.	SEVERABILITY

 

		a.	All sections, paragraphs
                                         and covenants contained in this Agreement are severable, and in the event that any of
                                         them will be held to be invalid, unenforceable or void by a court of a competent jurisdiction,
                                         such sections, paragraphs or covenants will be severed and the remainder of this Agreement
                                         will remain in full force and effect.

		19.	ENTIRE AGREEMENT

 

		a.	This Agreement, including
                                         the Appendices, and any other documents referenced herein, contains the complete agreement
                                         concerning the Executive’s employment by the Employer and will, as of the date
                                         it is executed, supersede any and all other employment agreements between the parties.

 

		b.	The parties agree that
                                         there are no other contracts or agreements between them, and that neither of them has
                                         made any representations, including but not limited to negligent misrepresentations,
                                         to the other except such representations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement,
                                         and that any statements or representations that may previously have been made by either
                                         of them to the other have not been relied on in connection with the execution of this
                                         Agreement and are of no effect.

 

		c.	No waiver, amendment or
                                         modification of this Agreement or any covenant, condition or restriction herein contained
                                         will be valid unless executed in writing by the party to be charged therewith, with the
                                         exception of those modifications expressly permitted within this Agreement. Should the
                                         parties agree to waive, amend or modify any provision of this Agreement, such waiver,
                                         amendment or modification will not affect the enforceability of any other provision of
                                         this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employer may unilaterally amend the
                                         provisions of Section 11 c. relating to provision of certain health benefits following
                                         termination of employment to the extent the Employer deems necessary to avoid the imposition
                                         of excise taxes, penalties or similar charges on the Employer or any of its Affiliates,
                                         including, without limitation, under Section 4980D of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.

 

		20.	CONSIDERATION

 

		a.	The parties acknowledge
                                         and agree that this Agreement has been executed by each of them in consideration of the
                                         mutual premises and covenants contained in this Agreement and for other good and valuable
                                         consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged. The parties hereby
                                         waive any and all defenses relating to an alleged failure or lack of consideration in
                                         connection with this Agreement.

		22.	DISPUTE RESOLUTION

 

In the event of a dispute
arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, or in respect of any legal relationship associated with it or from it, which
does not involve the Employer seeking a court injunction or other injunctive or equitable relief to protect its business, confidential
information or intellectual property, that dispute will be resolved in strict confidence as follows:

 

		a.	Amicable Negotiation –
                                         The parties agree that, both during and after the performance of their responsibilities
                                         under this Agreement, each of them will make bona fide efforts to resolve any

    	 	Page 12 of 32

     

    

 

		b.	Arbitration – If
                                         the parties have been unable to resolve a dispute for more than 90 days, or such other
                                         period agreed to in writing by the parties, either party may refer the dispute for final
                                         and binding arbitration by providing written notice to the other party. If the parties
                                         cannot agree on an arbitrator within thirty (30) days of receipt of the notice to arbitrate,
                                         then either party may make application to the British Columbia Arbitration and Mediation
                                         Society to appoint one. The arbitration will be held in Vancouver, British Columbia,
                                         in accordance with the BCICAC’s Shorter Rules for Domestic Commercial Arbitration,
                                         and each party will bear its own costs, including one-half share of the arbitrator’s
                                         fees.

 

		23.	ENUREMENT

 

		a.	The provisions of this
                                         Agreement will enure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties, their heirs,

		24.	EFFECT OF SECTION 409A

 

		a.	Payments and benefits
                                         provided under or referenced in this Agreement are intended to be designed in such a
                                         manner that they are either exempt from the application of, or comply with, the requirements
                                         of, Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and the regulations issued thereunder
                                         (collectively, as in effect from time to time, “Section 409A”) and shall
                                         be construed, administered and interpreted in accordance with such intention. If, as
                                         of the date of the Executive’s termination, the Executive is a “specified
                                         employee” within the meaning of Section 409A, then to the extent necessary to comply
                                         with Section 409A and to avoid the imposition of taxes and/or penalties under Section
                                         409A, payment to the Executive of any amount or benefit under this Agreement or any other
                                         Employer plan, program or agreement that constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation”
                                         under Section 409A and which under the terms of this Agreement or any other Employer
                                         plan, program or arrangement would otherwise be payable as a result of and within six
                                         (6) months following such termination shall be delayed, as provided under current regulatory
                                         requirements under Section 409A, until the earlier of (i) five (5) days after the Employer
                                         receives notification of the Executive’s death or (ii) the first business day of
                                         the seventh month following the date of the Executive’s termination.

 

		b.	Any payment or benefit
                                         under this Agreement or any other Employer plan, program or agreement that is payable
                                         upon a termination of the Executive’s employment shall only be paid or provided
                                         to the Executive upon a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section
                                         409A. If the Executive or the Employer determine that any payment, benefit, distribution,
                                         deferral election, or any other action or arrangement contemplated by the provisions
                                         of this Agreement or any other Employer plan, program or agreement would, if undertaken
                                         or implemented, cause the Executive to become subject to taxes and/or penalties under
                                         Section 409A, then such payment, benefit, distribution, deferral election or other action
                                         or arrangement shall not be given effect to the extent it causes such result and the
                                         related provisions of this Agreement or other Employer plan, program or agreement will
                                         be deemed modified in order to provide the Executive with the intended economic benefit
                                         and comply with the requirements of Section 409A.

		c.	Each payment made under
                                         this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment and the right to a series of installment
                                         payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to a series of separate and
                                         distinct payments.

 

		d.	With regard to any provision
                                         in this Agreement that provides for reimbursement of expenses or in-kind benefits, except
                                         for any expense, reimbursement or in-kind benefit provided pursuant to this Agreement
                                         that does not constitute a “deferral of compensation,” within the meaning
                                         of Section 409A, (i) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits
                                         provided, during any calendar year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement,
                                         or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other calendar year, (ii) such payments shall
                                         be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in
                                         which the expense was incurred, and (iii) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits
                                         shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

                                         or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the Indemnified
                                         Party had reasonable grounds for believing that her conduct was lawful.

 

		(b)	Indemnity in Derivative
                                         Claims etc. - in respect of any action by or on behalf of the Corporation or the
                                         Interested Corporation to procure a judgment in its favour against the Indemnified Party,
                                         in respect of which the Indemnified Party is made a party by reason of the Indemnified
                                         Party acting or having acted as a director or officer of or otherwise associated with

                                         in connection with such action to the same extent as provided or in Section 2.1 provided
                                         the Indemnified Party fulfils the conditions set out in Section 2.1(a)(i) and 2.1(a)(ii)
                                         above.

 

		(c)	Indemnity as of Right
                                         - notwithstanding anything herein, the Corporation will indemnify and save the Indemnified
                                         Party harmless in respect of all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by him
                                         in connection with the defence of any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
                                         action or proceeding to which the Indemnified Party is subject because of her acting
                                         or having acted as a director or officer of or otherwise associated with the Corporation
                                         or the Interested Corporation, if the Indemnified Party:

 

    	 	Page 17 of 32

     

    

 

		(i)	was not judged by a court
                                         of competent jurisdiction to have committed any fault or omitted to do anything that
                                         the individual ought to have done; and

 

		(ii)	fulfils the conditions
                                         set out in Section 2.1(a)(i) and 2.1(a)(ii) above.

 

		(d)	Incidental Expenses
                                         - except to the extent such costs, charges, expenses, fees or liabilities are paid
                                         by an Interested Corporation, the Corporation will pay or reimburse the Indemnified Party
                                         for reasonable travel, lodging or accommodation costs, charges or expenses paid or incurred
                                         by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in carrying out her duties as a director or
                                         officer of the Corporation or the Interested Corporation, whether or not incurred in
                                         connection with any Claim.

 

		2.2	Specific
                                         Indemnity for Statutory Obligations

 

Without limiting the
generality of Section 2.1 hereof, the Corporation agrees, to the extent permitted by law, that the indemnities provided herein
will include all costs, charges, expenses, fees, fines, penalties, losses, damages or liabilities arising by operation of statute,
rule, regulation or ordinance and incurred by or imposed upon the Indemnified Party in relation to the affairs of the Corporation
or the Interested Corporation by reason of the Indemnified Party acting or having acted as a director or officer thereof, including
but not limited to, any statutory obligations or liabilities that may arise to creditors, employees, suppliers, contractors, subcontractors,
or any government or agency or division of any government, whether federal, provincial, state, regional or municipal.

 

		2.3	Taxation

 

Without limiting the
generality of Section 2.1 hereof, the Corporation agrees that the payment of any indemnity to or reimbursement of the Indemnified
Party hereunder will include any amount which the Indemnified Party may be required to pay on account of applicable income, goods
or services or other taxes or levies arising out of the payment of such indemnity or reimbursement such that the amount received
by or paid on behalf of the Indemnified Party, after payment of any such taxes or other levies, is equal to the amount required
to pay and fully indemnify the Indemnified Party for such costs, charges, expenses, fees, losses, damages or liabilities, provided
however that any amount required to be paid with respect to such taxes or other levies will be payable by the Corporation only
upon the Indemnified Party remitting or being required to remit any amount payable on account of such taxes or other levies.

 

		2.4	Partial
                                         Indemnification

 

If the Indemnified Party
is determined to be entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Corporation for some or a portion
of the costs, charges, expenses, fees, losses, damages or liabilities incurred in respect of any Claim but not for the total amount
thereof, the Corporation will nevertheless indemnify the Indemnified Party for the portion thereof to which the Indemnified Party
is determined to be so entitled.

 

		2.5	Exclusions
                                         to Indemnity

 

The Corporation will
not be obligated under this Agreement to indemnify or reimburse the Indemnified Party:

 

    	 	Page 18 of 32

     

    

 

		(a)	in respect to which the
                                         Indemnified Party may not be relieved of liability under the CBCA or otherwise at law;
                                         or

 

		(b)	to the extent that Section 16
                                         of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is applicable to the Corporation,
                                         for expenses or the payment of profits arising from the purchase and sale by the Indemnified
                                         Party of securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the U.S. Securities Exchange
                                         Act of 1934, as amended, or any similar successor statute; or

 

		(c)	with respect to any Claims
                                         initiated or brought voluntarily by the Indemnified Party without the written agreement
                                         of the Corporation, except with respect to any Claims brought to establish or enforce
                                         a right under this Agreement or any other statute, regulation, rule or law.

 

Article 3

CLAIMS
AND PROCEEDINGS WHICH MAY GIVE RISE TO INDEMNITY

 

		3.1	Notices
                                         of the Proceedings

 

The Indemnified Party
will give notice, in writing, to the Corporation forthwith upon the Indemnified Party being served with any statement of claim,
writ, notice of motion, indictment, subpoena, investigation order or other document commencing, threatening or continuing any
Claim involving the Corporation or the Interested Corporation or the Indemnified Party which may give rise to a claim for indemnification
under this Agreement, and the Corporation agrees to notify the Indemnified Party, in writing, forthwith upon it or any Interested
Corporation being served with any statement of claim, writ, notice of motion, indictment, subpoena, investigation order or other
document commencing or continuing any Claim involving the Indemnified Party. Failure by the Indemnified Party to so notify the
Corporation of any Claim will not relieve the Corporation from liability hereunder except to the extent that the failure materially
prejudices the Corporation or Interested Corporation.

 

		3.2	Subrogation

 

Promptly after receiving
notice of any Claim or threatened Claim from the Indemnified Party, the Corporation may, and upon the written request of the Indemnified
Party will, promptly assume conduct of the defence thereof and retain counsel on behalf of the Indemnified Party who is reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, to represent the Indemnified Party in respect of the Claim. If the Corporation assumes
conduct of the defence on behalf of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party hereby consents to the conduct thereof and of
any action taken by the Corporation, in good faith, in connection therewith and the Indemnified Party will fully cooperate in
such defence including, without limitation, the provision of documents, attending examinations for discovery, making affidavits,
meeting with counsel, testifying and divulging to the Corporation all information reasonably required to defend or prosecute the
Claim.

 

		3.3	Separate
                                         Counsel

 

In connection with any
Claim in respect of which the Indemnified Party may be entitled to be indemnified hereunder, the Indemnified Party will have the
right to employ separate counsel of the Indemnified Party’s choosing and to participate in the defence thereof but the fees
and disbursements of such counsel will be at the expense of the Indemnified Party (for which the Indemnified Party will not be
entitled to claim from the Corporation) unless:

 

    	 	Page 19 of 32

     

    

 

		(a)	the Indemnified Party
                                         reasonably determines that there are legal defences available to the Indemnified Party
                                         that are different from or in addition to those available to the Corporation or the Interested
                                         Corporation, as the case may be, or that a conflict of interest exists which makes representation
                                         by counsel chosen by the Corporation not advisable;

 

		(b)	the Corporation has not
                                         assumed the defence of the Claim and employed counsel therefor reasonably satisfactory
                                         to the Indemnified Party within a reasonable period of time after receiving notice thereof;
                                         or

 

		(c)	employment of such other
                                         counsel has been authorized by the Corporation;

 

in which event the reasonable
fees and disbursements of such counsel will be paid by the Corporation, subject to the terms hereof.

 

		3.4	No
                                         Presumption as to Absence of Good Faith

 

Unless a court of competent
jurisdiction otherwise has held or decided that the Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder, in full or
in part, the determination of any Claim by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere
or its equivalent, will not, of itself, create any presumption for the purposes of this Agreement that the Indemnified Party is
not entitled to indemnity hereunder.

 

		3.5	Settlement
                                         of Claim

 

No admission of liability
and no settlement of any Claim in a manner adverse to the Indemnified Party will be made without the consent of the Indemnified
Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. No admission of liability will be made by the Indemnified Party without the
consent of the Corporation and the Corporation will not be liable for any settlement of any Claim made without its consent, such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

 

Article 4

INDEMNITY
PAYMENTS, ADVANCES AND INSURANCE

 

		4.1	Court
                                         Approvals

 

If the payment of an
indemnity hereunder requires the approval of a court under the provisions of the Canada Business Corporations Act or otherwise,
either of the Corporation or, failing the Corporation, the Indemnified Party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for
an order approving the indemnity of the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement.

 

		4.2	Advances

 

		(a)	If the Board of Directors
                                         of the Corporation has determined, in good faith and based on the representations made
                                         to it by the Indemnified Party, that the Indemnified Party is or may to be entitled to
                                         indemnity hereunder in respect of any Claim, the Corporation will, at the request of
                                         the Indemnified Party, either pay such amount to or on behalf of the Indemnified Party
                                         by way of indemnity or, if the Board of Directors is unwilling to pay or is unable to
                                         determine if it is entitled to pay that amount by way of indemnity, then the Corporation
                                         will advance to the Indemnified Party sufficient funds, or arrange to pay on behalf of
                                         or reimburse the Indemnified Party any costs, charges, expenses, retainers or legal fees
                                         incurred or paid by the Indemnified Party in respect to such Claim.

 

    	 	Page 20 of 32

     

    

 

		(b)	Any advance made by the
                                         Corporation under Section 4.2(a) will be treated as a loan to the Indemnified Party,
                                         pending approval by the Board of Directors of the payment thereof as an indemnity and
                                         advanced to or for the benefit of the Indemnified Party on such terms and conditions
                                         as the Board of Directors may prescribe which may include interest, the provision of
                                         security or a guarantee or indemnity therefor. Notwithstanding the generality of the
                                         foregoing, the terms of any such advance will provide that in the event it is ultimately
                                         determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Indemnified Party is not entitled
                                         to be indemnified in respect of any amount for which an advance was made, or that the
                                         Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified for the full amount advanced, or
                                         the Indemnified Party has received insurance or other compensation or reimbursement payments
                                         from any insurer or third party in respect of the same subject matter, such advance,
                                         or the appropriate portion thereof, will be repaid to the Corporation, on demand.

 

		4.3	Other
                                         Rights and Remedies Unaffected

 

The indemnification and
payment provided in this Agreement will not derogate from or exclude and will incorporate any other rights to which the Indemnified
Party may be entitled under any provision of the CBCA or otherwise at law, the Articles or By-Laws of the Corporation, the constating
documents of any Interested Corporation, any applicable policy of insurance, guarantee or third-party indemnity, any vote of shareholders
of the Corporation, or otherwise, both as to matters arising out of her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation,
an Interested Corporation, or as to matters arising out of any other capacity in which the Indemnified Party may act for or on
behalf of or be associated with the Corporation or the Interested Corporation.

 

		4.4	Insurance

 

The Corporation will,
to the extent permitted by law, purchase and maintain, or cause to be purchased and maintained, for so long as the Indemnified
Party remains a director or officer of the Corporation or the Interested Corporation, and for a period of six (6) years thereafter,
insurance for the benefit of the Indemnified Party (or a rider, extension or modification of such policy to extend the time within
which a Claim would be required to be reported by the Indemnified Party under such policy after the Indemnified Party has ceased
to be a director or officer) on terms no less favourable than the maximum coverage in place while the Indemnified Party served
as a director or officer of the Corporation or as the Corporation maintains in existence for its then serving directors and officers
and provided such insurance or additional coverage is available on commercially reasonable terms and premiums therefor.

 

		4.5	Notification
                                         of Transactions

 

The Corporation will
immediately notify the Indemnified Party upon the Corporation entering into or resolving to carry out any arrangement, amalgamation,
winding-up or any other transaction or series of transactions which may result in the Corporation ceasing to exist as a legal
entity or substantially impairing its ability to fulfill its obligations hereunder and, in any event, will give written notice
not less than 21 days prior to the date on which such transaction or series of transactions are expected to be carried out or
completed.

 

		4.6	Arrangements
                                         to Satisfy Obligations Hereunder

 

The Corporation will
not carry out or complete any transaction contemplated by Section 4.5, unless and until the Corporation has made adequate arrangements,
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, acting reasonably, to fulfill its obligations hereunder, which arrangements may include,
without limitation, the assumption of any liability hereunder by any successor to the assets or business of the Company or the
prepayment of any premium for any insurance contemplated in Section 4.4.

		4.7	Payments
                                         or Compensation from Third Parties

 

The Indemnified Party,
before claiming indemnification or reimbursement under this Agreement, will use reasonable efforts to make claims under any applicable
insurance policy or arrangements maintained or made available by the Corporation or the Interested Corporation in respect of the
relevant matter. If the Indemnified Party receives any payment under any insurance policy or other arrangements maintained or
made available by the Corporation or the Interested Corporation in respect of any costs, charges, expenses, fees, damages or liabilities
which have been paid to or on behalf of the Indemnified Party by the Corporation pursuant to indemnification under this Agreement,
the Indemnified Party will pay back to the Corporation an amount equal to the amount so paid to or on behalf of the Indemnified
Party by the Corporation.

B.     The
Board recognizes that it is essential and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders that the Company retain and
encourage the Executive’s continuing service and dedication to her office and employment without distraction caused by the

Company;

 

C.     The
Board further believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, in the event of a change of control
of the Parent Company, to maintain the cohesiveness of the Company’s senior management team so as to ensure a successful
transition, maximize shareholder value and maintain the performance of the Company;

 

D.     The
Board further believes that the service of the Executive to the Company requires that the Executive receive fair treatment in
the event of a change in control of the Parent Company; and

order to induce the Executive to remain in the employ of the Company notwithstanding a possible change of control, the Company
has agreed to provide to the Executive certain benefits in the event of a change of control.

                                         year, then such payment shall not be made until the first payroll date occurring after

		(a)	The Executive is not
                                         required to mitigate the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this Agreement,
                                         or any damages resulting from a failure of the Company to make any such payment or to

                                         and warrants to the Company that the Executive has no agreement or understanding with
                                         the Company in respect of the subject matters of this Agreement, except as set out in
                                         this Agreement.

 

		6.	Exhaustive Compensation

 

The Executive agrees
with and acknowledges to the Company that the compensation provided for under section 3 of this Agreement is all the compensation

that in the event of payment under section 3 of this Agreement, he will not be entitled to any termination payment under the Employment

Subject: Offer of Employment - REVISED

Dear Dana:

I would like to offer you our heartfelt congratulations on your selection as the final candidate for a position at MaxLinear. You have met the exacting meritocracy standards of personal and professional achievement to which we hold all our employees. We are truly excited to extend you an offer of employment at MaxLinear as specified below. Your acceptance of our offer will represent an important milestone in our rapid growth as a fabless, communications IC company.

First and foremost, we immensely value your superior qualities of proven technical competence, and passion for excellence. Your personal attributes are congruent with our cherished EPIC values - “Excellence, People, Integrity, and Compassion”. Together, with your able partnership, we aim to build a world class IC company.

In our workplace, we foster an environment of risk-taking and reward, along with a relentless focus on customer-driven products. By being true to this principle, we are determined to create a company with a business model and an organization that will set altogether new and lofty standards in work culture.  In addition, MaxLinear will constantly endeavor to uphold its commitment to making “Every working day a lot of fun”. We thank you for your interest in MaxLinear and look forward to unparalleled success together as partners in the same adventure.

Employment Offer

I am very pleased to offer you a position with MaxLinear, Inc. (the “Company”), as Vice President, Global Sales, with work responsibilities in both the Carlsbad and Irvine, California offices. You will report to the CEO, Kishore Seendripu. If  you decide to join us, you will receive an annualized salary of $250,000, minus all applicable taxes, paid in installments per our established bi-weekly payroll cycle.  We will also offer you a one-time sign-on bonus of $25,000, minus all applicable taxes. The sign-on bonus is paid at the conclusion of your first thirty (30) days of employment. If you voluntarily leave the Company within the first two (2) full years of employment you will be required to repay to the Company the full amount of the sign-on bonus. 

In addition, you will be eligible for a target annual bonus of up to 55% of your then-current base salary. Your first eligibility for bonus will be for performance in calendar year 2016 paid in 2017 or semi -annual as described below.  If you decide to join the Company, it will be recommended to the Company’s Board of Directors (or an authorized committee) that the Company award you an equity grant of restricted stock units (RSUs) with respect to a value of $600,000. The number of shares will be determined by dividing $600,000 by the closing sales price of the Company’s Class A common stock on the date of grant.

You and the CEO will create performance milestone goals for the global sales team. Once approved, this sales plan may include a potential of a semi-annual bonus payment. However, the overall annual potential bonus percentage does not change. 

We are also offering you relocation benefits for your move from San Jose, California to Southern California. These include short term assistance and a relocation allowance. If you join the Company, you will be based initially in Carlsbad, California.  However, when you are not travelling for business, you will be required to work out of both Irvine and Carlsbad facilities on a weekly basis.  Temporary living arrangements will be arranged and paid for by the Company from your start date for two (2) months, as needed. This is for lodging only; other living expenses like meals and laundry will be a personal expense. In addition, the Company will reimburse you for the following: a rental car from your start date for two (2) months; coach airfare for you and your family for your permanent relocation from the Bay Area to San Diego, California. 

We will also reimburse you for actual expenses not to exceed $3,000 per month for up to another four (4) months on the cost of an apartment or other temporary living facility, but not as an offset to your permanent residency costs. You will be responsible for all gas and tolls for the rental car and will need to provide proof of insurance to the rental car carrier. In addition, we will only reimburse you for these approved expenditures once you submit valid receipts to the Company and will only be reimbursed to you (or paid by the Company on your behalf) if you are an employee of the Company on the date of reimbursement or payment by the Company.  

In addition to the short term relocation benefits discussed above, you will receive a one-time relocation allowance of $50,000, minus all applicable taxes, paid on or before September 30, 2016. This is intended to offset the cost of your relocation to Southern California.  Payment will be processed based on the confirmation of your move date to Southern California. In the event that relocation does not occur in 2016 the allowance will not be paid to you.  In the event you voluntarily leave the Company prior to the completion of two full years of employment you will be required to repay the Company the full amount of the relocation allowance.   

You will also be eligible to receive certain employee benefits, such as paid time off, participation in our 401K plan, employer contribution towards health insurance premiums, etc. The details of these employee benefits will be explained in greater detail in a subsequent correspondence. Benefit eligibility is first of the month following your start date. You should note that the Company may modify job titles, salaries, and benefits from time to time as it deems necessary.  

Performance Evaluation Period

After your initial three (3) months of employment at the Company, your performance against your job responsibilities will be evaluated by the CEO. After your job performance has been deemed to be satisfactory, there will be regular follow-up performance evaluations annually or as in accordance with the Company’s Employee Handbook. 

Equity Incentive

The Company will recommend that its Board of Directors (or an authorized committee) approve equity related compensation of RSUs as specified in the compensation proposal above.  This equity related compensation will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s 2010 Equity Incentive Plan and the form of RSU award agreement approved by the Board (or an authorized committee).  The shares subject to the RSU award will vest over four years based on your continuing to provide services to the Company, as follows:  twenty five percent (25%) of the shares subject to the RSU award will vest on the 20th day of the first February, May, August, or November to occur following the first anniversary of your employment.  For example, if your first date of employment was January 5, 2016, twenty five percent (25%) of your shares would be expected to vest on February 20, 2017.   Thereafter, the shares subject to the RSU award will vest on a quarterly basis over the remaining three years.  No right to any shares will be earned or accrued until such time as they have become fully vested.  In addition, the grant of equity awards and subsequent vesting will not confer any additional right to continued vesting or employment or modify in any way the “at will” status of the employment relationship.

Other Employment Terms

The Company is excited about your joining the Company and looks forward to a beneficial and productive relationship.  Nevertheless, you should be aware that your employment with the Company is for no specified period and constitutes at-will employment.  As a result, you are free to resign at any time, for any reason or for no reason.  Similarly, the Company is free to 

conclude its employment relationship with you at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice.  We request that, in the event of resignation, you give the Company at least two weeks’ notice.  

For purposes of federal immigration law, you will be required to provide to the Company documentary evidence of your identity and eligibility for employment in the United States.  Such documentation must be provided to us within three (3) business days of the effective date of your employment, or our employment relationship with you may be terminated. If you anticipate you may have immigration issues, please advise us now so that we may start to investigate those issues prior to your effective date.

The Company conducts post offer background checks on all candidates. These are done by a 3rd party vendor. All offers however, are contingent upon successfully completing the required background check which may include areas such as employment verification, degree verification, civil, criminal and DMV record search. Once begun, the background check may take up to five (5) business days to be completed. You will be sent information on this background check process once you accept the offer of employment with the Company.

We also ask that, if you have not already done so, you disclose to the Company any agreements relating to your prior employment that may affect your eligibility to be employed by the Company or that may limit the manner in which you may be employed.  It is our understanding that any such agreements will not prevent you from performing the duties of your position, and you represent that such is the case.  Moreover, you agree that, during the term of your employment with the Company, you will not engage in any other employment, occupation, consulting or other business activity directly related to the business in which the Company is now involved or becomes involved during the term of your employment, nor will you engage in any other activities that conflict with your obligations to the Company.  Similarly, you agree not to bring any third party confidential information to the Company, including that of any former employer, and that in performing your duties for the Company you will not in any way utilize any such information. 
    
As a condition of your employment, you are also required to sign and comply with an At-Will Employment, Confidential Information, Invention Assignment and Arbitration Agreement which requires, among other provisions, the assignment of patent and other intellectual property rights to any invention made during your employment at the Company, non-disclosure of the Company’s proprietary information, and arbitration of disputes between you and the Company.  Please note that we must receive this signed agreement on or before your effective date.

There are several online training courses that are required to be completed upon hire, including Non-Harassment, and several Compliance related topics. 

As a member of the executive team you will also be offered a change in control and severance agreement (the “CIC Agreement”) that is commensurate with other eligible vice presidents at the Company. The CIC Agreement includes severance benefits, accelerated vesting and other items.  A template is included with this offer letter and will be personalized if you agree to this offer of employment.

To accept the Company’s employment proposal, please sign and date the Acceptance Form attached to this letter; and, to maintain the confidentiality of compensation information, return a copy of ONLY the Acceptance Form page to Kathi Guiney via email at kguiney@maxlinear.com. This letter, along with any agreements relating to proprietary rights between you and the Company, sets forth the terms of your employment with the Company and supersedes any prior representations or agreements including, but not limited to, any representations made during your recruitment, interviews or pre-employment negotiations, whether written or oral.  This letter may not be modified or amended except by a written agreement signed by the CEO of the Company and you.  

This offer of employment will terminate if it is not accepted, signed and returned by December 24, 2015. We look forward to your favorable reply and to working with you at MaxLinear, Inc.
