(b)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Company furnishes the Holders with a certificate signed by the President or Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that sales under the Registration Statement must be, pursuant to applicable law or regulation, suspended or in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for a Registration Statement be effected or effective for sale at such time due to the existence of a material development or potential material development involving the Company which the Company would be obligated to disclose in the Prospectus contained in the  Registration Statement, which disclosure would in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company be premature or otherwise inadvisable at such time, then the Company will have the right to defer the filing of the Registration Statement and/or suspend the ability of the Holders to sell Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement for a period of not more than 100 days after the date it would otherwise be required to file the Registration Statement pursuant hereto or after the date of the notice of the suspension of such Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company will not utilize this deferral right more than twice in any twelve month period.

 

(c)           If at any time prior to such date as is the earlier of (i) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities for such Registration Statement have been sold and (ii) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities for such Registration Statement may be immediately sold to the public without registration or restriction (including without limitation as to volume by each holder thereof) under the Securities Act (the “Registration Period”), the Company shall determine to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its securities (other than (a) a registration relating to the sale of securities to employees of the Company or a subsidiary pursuant to a stock option, stock purchase, or similar plan on a registration statement on Form S-8; or (b) a registration relating to a Rule 145 transaction), the Company shall send to each Holder written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen (15) days after the effective date of such notice, the Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such Registration Statement all or any part of such Holder’s Registrable Securities the Holder requests to be registered, except that if, in connection with any underwritten public offering for the account of the Company, the managing underwriter(s) thereof shall impose a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities which may be included in the Registration Statement because, in such underwriter(s)’ judgment, marketing or other factors dictate such limitation is necessary to facilitate public distribution, then the Company shall be obligated to include in such Registration Statement only such limited portion of the Registrable Securities with respect to which the Holder has requested inclusion hereunder as the underwriter shall permit; provided, however, that the Company shall not exclude any Registrable Securities unless the Company has first excluded all outstanding securities, the holders of which are not entitled by contract to inclusion of such securities in such Registration Statement or are not entitled to pro rata inclusion with the Registrable Securities; and that, after giving effect to the immediately preceding proviso, any exclusion of Registrable Securities shall be made pro rata with holders of other securities having the contractual right to include such securities in the Registration Statement other than holders of securities entitled to inclusion of their securities in such Registration Statement by reason of demand registration rights. No right to registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 2(c) shall be construed to limit any registration required under Section 2(a) hereof. If an offering in connection with which a Holder is entitled to registration under this Section 2(c) is an underwritten offering, then such Holder shall, unless otherwise agreed by the Company, offer and sell such Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering using the same underwriter or underwriters and, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, on the same terms and conditions as other shares of Common Stock included in such underwritten offering.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the registration rights of the Holder pursuant to this Section 2(c) shall only be available in the event the Company fails to timely file, obtain effectiveness or maintain effectiveness of any Registration Statement to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d)           The Company understands that any Registration Failure could result in economic loss to a Holder. In the event that any Registration Failure occurs, as compensation to each Holder for such loss, the Company agrees to pay (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to the Holder a monthly amount payable in cash equal to 1% of the aggregate purchase price paid by each Holder pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement for any Registrable Securities then held by each Holder on the date of such Registration Failure.  Such Failure Payments shall continue on a monthly basis until (i) the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing or (ii) in the event the Company is not current in its Exchange Act filings, the earlier of (A) the date the Holders may sell the Registrable Securities without restriction under Rule 144 or (B) the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing.  Failure Payments shall be paid on or before the 5th business day following a month in which Failure Payments accrue.

 

(e)           Each Holder agrees to furnish to the Company a completed Questionnaire in the form attached to this Agreement as Annex A (a “Selling Holder Questionnaire”).  The Company shall not be required to include the Registrable Securities of a Holder in a Registration Statement who fails to furnish to the Company a fully completed Selling Holder Questionnaire at least two Trading Days prior to the filing date of the Registration Statement (subject to the requirements set forth in Section 3(a)).

 

3.            Registration Procedures.

 

In connection with the Company’s registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall:

 

(a)           Not less than four Trading Days prior to the filing of a Registration Statement or any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish to each Holder copies of the “Selling Stockholders” section of such document, the “Plan of Distribution” and any risk factor contained in such document that addresses specifically this transaction or the Selling Stockholders, as proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the review of such Holder.  Such documents may be delivered to such Holder via electronic mail (i.e., e-mail).  The Company shall not file a Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto in which the “Selling Stockholder” section thereof substantively differs from the disclosure received from a Holder in its Selling Holder Questionnaire (as amended or supplemented).

(b)           (i) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to each Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities for its Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the Commission such additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities; (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the Commission with respect to each Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and, as promptly as reasonably possible provide the Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to such Registration Statement that would not result in the disclosure to the Holders of material and non-public information concerning the Company; and (iv) comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the Registration Statement(s) and the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement.

 

(c)           Notify the Holders as promptly as reasonably possible (and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than two Trading Days prior to such filing and, in the case of (v) below, not less than three Trading Days prior to the financial statements in any Registration Statement becoming ineligible for inclusion therein) and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than one Trading Day following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement is proposed to be filed; (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement (the Company shall provide true and complete copies thereof and all written responses thereto to each of the Holders that pertain to the Holders as a Selling Stockholder or to the Plan of Distribution, but not information which the Company believes would constitute material and non-public information); and (C) with respect to each Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective; (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other Federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose; and (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in a Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to such Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of such Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

 

  

6

  

 

(d)           Use its reasonable best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.

 

(e)           Furnish to each Holder, with charge and at the option of the Company in electronic format, at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment thereto but not including the exhibits thereto to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously furnished) promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission.

 

(f)           Promptly deliver to each Holder, with charge, up to twenty (20) copies of each Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request.

 

(g)           Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, register or qualify such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of all jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder may request, to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statements; provided, however, in connection with any such registration or qualification, the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where the Company would not otherwise be required to qualify, (ii) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, (iii) file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction, or (iv) make any change to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws.

 

(h)           Cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a purchaser of such Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement(s), which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by the Purchase Agreement, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Holders may request.

 

(i)           Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(c)(v), as promptly as reasonably possible, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to the affected Registration Statements or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, no Registration Statement nor any Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

 

(j)           Use reasonable efforts to take such other actions as are reasonably and customarily required by issuers in non-underwritten shelf registrations in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement in accordance with this Agreement.

4.            Registration Expenses.  All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by the Company.  In no event shall the Company be responsible for any broker or similar commissions incurred by any Holder or any legal fees or other costs of the Holders in connection with this Agreement.

 

5.            Indemnification.

 

(a)           Indemnification by the Company.  The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, agents, investment advisors, partners, members and employees of each of them, each Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (1) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding a Holder furnished in writing to the Company by a Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to a Holder or a Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto (or (2) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(c)(ii)-(v), the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of Advice or an amended or supplemented Prospectus, but only if and to the extent that following the receipt of the Advice or the amended or supplemented Prospectus the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss would have been corrected.

 

(b)           Indemnification by Holders.  Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or relating to: (x) such Holder’s failure to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act or (y) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising out of or based upon any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent that, (1) such untrue statements or omissions are based upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (2) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(c)(ii)-(v), the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of an Advice or an amended or supplemented Prospectus, but only if and to the extent that following the receipt of the Advice or the amended or supplemented Prospectus the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss would have been corrected.  In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

 

  

8

  

 

(c)           Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.  If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

 

An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to participate in the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party); provided, that, the Indemnifying Party shall pay for no more than two separate sets of counsel for all Indemnified Parties, such legal counsel shall be selected by Holders of no less than a majority in interest of the then outstanding Registrable Securities.  The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

(d)           Contribution.  If a claim for indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5(c), any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.

 

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d), no Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

 

The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.

 

6.            Miscellaneous.

 

(a)           Remedies.  In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder of any of their obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to seek specific performance of its rights under this Agreement.  The Company and each Holder agree that monetary damages may not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

 

(b)           Compliance.  Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.

 

  

10

  

 

(c)           Discontinued Disposition.  Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(c)(iii)-(v), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement.  The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this paragraph.

 

(d)           Amendments and Waivers.  The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this Section 6(f), may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and the Holders of no less than a majority in interest of the then outstanding Registrable Securities.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of certain Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given by Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates.  Section 2(a) may not be amended or waived except by written consent of each Holder affected by such amendment or waiver.

B-4Employment Agreement for Gary Banbury

 Exhibit 10.1 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”),
made this      day of February, 2012, is entered into between Allied Nevada Gold Corp. (the “Company”) and GARY M. BANBURY (the “Employee”). 

WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ the Employee and Employee desires to be employed by the Company on the terms set forth herein;

 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, the Company and the
Employee agree as follows: 
 1. Employment. The Company agrees to employ the Employee as VP Mine Support Services
and the Employee agrees to accept such employment upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Specifically, the Employee will be responsible for all human resources matters, as well as executive compensation analysis and
recommendations. In addition to the foregoing, the Employee shall have such additional responsibilities as may be assigned by the Company or its Board of Directors from time to time. The Employee shall devote his full business time and effort to the
performance of his duties for the Company, which he shall perform faithfully and to the best of his ability. 
 2.
Term. The Employee’s employment shall commence on January 3, 2012. The Employee shall be an “at-will” employee of the Company whose employment may be terminated (by the Company or by the Employee) at any time, for
any or no reason. Any representation, statement or implication to the contrary is unauthorized and not valid unless in writing and signed by both Employee and CEO of the Company. 

3. Compensation and Benefits. 
 a. Base Salary. The Company shall pay the Employee a base annual salary of US $240,000 payable in accordance with the normal payroll practices of the Company and shall be subject to applicable
withholdings, deductions and taxes. Base salary may be adjusted on an annual basis, upward or downward. 
 b.
Bonus. The Employee shall be eligible to be considered for a cash bonus upon achieving of certain pre-determined performance targets to be set by the Company’s Board and consistent with any bonus or incentive compensation program
established by the Company. 
 c. Stock/Stock Options. The Employee will be eligible to participate in any
stock option, restricted stock units, performance stock units, stock appreciation rights or other equity-based compensation plan that may become generally available for employees of the Company, on a basis commensurate with other employees of the
Company. 
 d. Benefits. During his employment, the Employee shall be entitled to participate in or
benefit from, in accordance with the eligibility and other provisions thereof, benefit plans and policies such as medical, dental, disability, insurance, 

  
 1 

 
retirement savings plans or other fringe benefit plans or policies as the Company may make available to, or have in effect for, its employees. The Company retains the rights to terminate or alter
any such plans or policies from time to time, provided that such termination or alteration is done for all eligible employees and not specifically for the Employee. The Employee shall also be entitled to vacations, sick leave and other similar
benefits in accordance with policies of the Company from time to time in effect for personnel with commensurate duties. 
 e. Reimbursement of Business Expenses. The Company agrees to reimburse Employee for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with Company business, including without limitation
travel and accommodations for authorized business trips, and within standards to be established by the Board, provided receipts, invoices or other supporting documentation satisfactory to the Company supporting the expenses are presented to the
Company. Reimbursement payments will be payable promptly, but no later than the end of the second calendar month after the month in which the expense was incurred. 
 4. Termination. 
 a. Rights and Duties. The
Employee is an employee “at will.” Accordingly, the Company or the Employee may terminate his employment, with or without notice, for any lawful reason or no reason. The Employee and the Company agree that, without modifying or altering
the Employee’s “at will” status, each will provide the other with at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company. If the Employee gives notice of
termination, such notice will be deemed a voluntary resignation by the Employee and the Company, in its sole discretion, may elect to relieve the Employee of any obligation to perform duties during the notice period, waive the notice period and
immediately accept termination of the Employee’s employment, without changing the status of such termination as a voluntary resignation by the Employee. Should the Company in the event of a voluntary resignation decide to relieve the Employee
of any obligation to perform duties during the notice period, waive the notice period and immediately accept Employee’s resignation, it shall nonetheless continue his compensation and benefits for the term of the notice period (but only to the
extent permitted by the terms of such plans), except that no bonus shall be earned or awarded during and after the notice period. 
 b. Termination by the Company for Cause. The Company may terminate the Employee’s employment at any time for “cause.” “Cause” shall mean: 

i) The Employee committed any material breach of any of the terms of this Agreement, including the failure to perform any
covenant contained in this Agreement or in Exhibit A, which is attached to this Agreement and expressly incorporated hereby, such as the disclosure of or failure to protect the Company’s confidential, proprietary or trade secret information;

 ii) The Employee committed any act or crime involving dishonesty, violence or moral turpitude, including
fraud, theft, embezzlement, assault, battery 

  
 2 

 
and rape, drunk driving, whether or not the Employee has been formally charged with or convicted of such act or crime; 

iii) The Employee committed an act or allowed the existence of a state of facts by the Employee’s inaction which
renders the Employee incapable of performing his duties under this Agreement, or which adversely affects or could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Company’s business reputation; 

iv) The Employee failed to follow any significant lawful instruction from the Employee’s relevant supervisor, the
President/CEO of the Company or the Board of Directors; 
 v) The Employee failed to maintain or had suspended,
revoked or denied any applicable license, permit or card required by the federal or state authorities, or a political subdivision or agency thereof; 
 vi) The Employee committed any act that constitutes a breach of fiduciary duty or a breach of the duty of loyalty, both of which the Employee acknowledges are due to and owed to the Company based, among
other things, on the Employee’s job duties; 
 vii) The Employee failed or became unable, for any reason
other than a disability (as defined below), to devote 100% of the Employee’s business time, his/her best efforts, skills, and abilities to the Company’s business; 

viii) The Employee failed to diligently or effectively perform the Employee’s duties under any provision of this
Agreement or any duty as directed from time to time by the Company; 
 ix) The Employee violated any material
policy established by the Company. 
 c. Termination in the event of death or disability. The Agreement
shall terminate upon the Employee’s death or Disability. For purposes of the Agreement, “Disability” shall mean the inability of the Employee, due to physical or mental impairment, to perform the essential functions of his position,
with or without reasonable accommodation. 
 d. Effect of termination. 

i) If the Employee is terminated by the Company due to death or Disability, the Employee (or the Employee’s estate in
the event of death) shall be permitted to receive benefits for which he and/or his beneficiaries are eligible and in which the Employee participated for long term disability insurance or life insurance the Company may have at that time. The Employee
(or the Employee’s estate in the event of death) shall also receive any earned but unpaid base salary, expense reimbursements, and vacation days accrued prior to termination of employment. 

  
 3 

 ii) If the Employee is terminated by the Company for Cause, the Employee
shall only be entitled to receive any earned but unpaid base salary and expense reimbursements, and vacation days accrued prior to termination of employment. 
 iii) If the Employee is terminated by the Company other than for Cause (and except as provided above in cases of death or disability), the Employee shall only be entitled to payment when due of any earned
but unpaid base salary, expense reimbursements, and vacation days accrued prior to termination of employment. 

In addition (and notwithstanding the foregoing), conditioned upon the Employee’s execution of a separation agreement
and general release in a form acceptable to the Company, the Employee shall also receive the following: a lump sum severance payment equal to one (1) times the Employee’s then base salary (annualized) plus a lump sum of one (1) times
the Employee’s target bonus for the year in which his employment is terminated, all payments subject to appropriate withholdings and deductions as requested by the Employee and/or for any monies owed by the Employee to the Company and/or
overpayments made by the Company to the Employee. Such payment will be made sixty (60) days after the Employee’s separation from service with the Company, and if the Employee has not executed a binding release by such date, the Employee
shall forfeit all rights to the payment; 
 Further, if the Employee is eligible for and elects continuation of
such coverage during the permissible time frame, the Company will pay premiums for continuation of health insurance coverage under COBRA or state equivalent, up to a maximum of $ 18,000, subject to appropriate withholdings and deductions as
requested by the Employee and/or for any monies owed to the Company and/or overpayments made by the Company to the Employee. The Employee will be responsible for premium payments for continuation of such group health insurance coverage after the
Company’s obligation expires; and 
 iv) In the event a Change of Control (as defined below) occurs and, if
within one (1) year thereafter, the Employee’s employment is terminated as an involuntary termination by the Company for a reason other than for Cause, death, or Disability (as defined above), then the Employee will be entitled to payment
when due of any unpaid base salary, expense reimbursements, and vacation days accrued prior to termination of employment and, in exchange for the Employee’s execution of a separation agreement and general release in a form acceptable to the
Company, the following: 
 a) A lump sum equal to two (2) years of his then current base salary, less
applicable withholdings, plus a lump sum of two (2) times the Employee’s target bonus for the year in which his/her employment is terminated, plus all Restricted and Performance Share Unit outstanding shall immediately vest notwithstanding
any performance or time 

  
 4 

 
restrictions, all payments subject to appropriate withholdings and deductions as requested by the Employee and/or for any monies owed by the Employee to the Company and/or overpayments made by
the Company to the Employee. Such payment will be made sixty (60) days after the Employee’s separation from service with the Company, and if the Employee has not executed a binding release by such date, the Employee shall forfeit all
rights to the payment; 
 b) If the Employee is eligible for and elects continuation of such coverage during the
permissible time frame, the Company will pay premiums for continuation of health insurance coverage under COBRA or state equivalent up to a maximum of $27,000.00, subject to appropriate withholdings and deductions as requested by the Employee and/or
for any monies owed to the Company and/or overpayments made by the Company to the Employee. The Employee will be responsible for premium payments for continuation of such group health insurance coverage after the Company’s obligation expires;
and 
 For purposes of this Agreement, “Change of Control” means (A) the occurrence of a merger or consolidation
of the Company whether or not approved by the Board of Directors, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining
outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or the parent of such corporation) at least 50% of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity or parent of such
corporation outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or a merger or consolidation which is in effect a financing transaction for the Company, including, but not limited to, a reverse merger of the Company into a publicly traded
“shell” company, or (B) the occurrence of a sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, which sale or disposition has been approved by the stockholders of the Company. 

5. Nondisclosure, Noncompetition, Nonsolicitation and Inventions. As a condition of the Employee’s employment by the
Company and the payment of compensation and receipt of benefits referred to above, the Employee has executed the Employee Nondisclosure, Noncompetition, Nonsolicitation and Inventions Agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Employee
acknowledges that the Company would not offer him employment or provide compensation and/or benefits set forth above if he was not willing to be bound by the terms of such Nondisclosure, Noncompetition, Nonsolicitation and Inventions Agreement. The
Employee acknowledges that: 
 a. he will sign such an agreement contemporaneously herewith; 

b. he will thereafter continue to be bound by the terms of such agreement; 

  
 5 

 c. executing this Employment Agreement does not change or alter his
obligations under the Nondisclosure, Noncompetitive, Nonsolicitation Agreement; 
 d. his continued employment is
sufficient consideration for the Employer to remain bound by the terms of the Nondisclosure, Noncompetition, Nonsolicitation and Inventions Agreement; and 
 e. the terms of the Nondisclosure, Noncompetition, Nonsolicitation and Inventions Agreement are incorporated herein by reference. 
 6. Notice. 
 a. To the Company. The Employee
will send all communications to the Company in writing, addressed as follows (or in any other manner the Company notifies him to use):

Agreement may be modified, waived, or discharged except by a written document signed by a Company officer duly authorized by the Board or a member of the Company’s Board of Directors and the Employee. 

8. Waiver. A waiver of any conditions or provisions of this Agreement in a given instance shall not be deemed a waiver of
such conditions or provisions at any other time in the future. No failure or delay by the Company in exercising any right, power, or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any such right power or remedy. 

9. Choice of Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the
laws of the State of Nevada. 

  
 6 

 10. Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the
benefit of, the Employee and his estate, but the Employee may not assign or pledge this Agreement or any rights arising under it. Without the Employee’s consent, the Company may assign this Agreement to any affiliate or to a successor to
substantially all the business and assets of the Company. 
 11. Survival. The provisions of Sections 4 and 5
hereof and the Nondisclosure, Noncompetition, Nonsolicitation and Inventions Agreement shall survive termination of this Agreement or termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company or any successor or assign regardless of the reason
for such termination. 
 12. Validity and Severability. 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. 
 13. Entire Agreement. The Employee acknowledges receipt of this Agreement and agrees that with respect to the subject matter hereof it, along with the October 25, 2011 Offer Letter, as
well as the Nondisclosure, Noncompetition, Nonsolicitation and Invention Agreement, contains the entire understanding and agreement with the Company, superseding any previous oral or written communication, representation, understanding or agreement
with the Company or any representative thereof. No term or condition should be construed strictly against any party on the basis that it was drafted by such party. 
 14. Tax Compliance. All payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to withholding of applicable federal, state and local income and employment taxes. 

15. 409A. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding: (a) the parties intend that all payments and
benefits under this Agreement shall either be exempt from or shall comply with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, and to the maximum extent permitted this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with that intent. To the extent
that any provision hereof is modified in order to comply with Section 409A, such modification shall be made in good faith and shall, to the maximum extent reasonably possible, maintain the original intent and economic benefit to Employee and
Company of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Section 409A; (b) no amount shall be payable pursuant to Section 4 or otherwise upon a termination of employment unless such termination constitutes a
“separation from service” with Company under Section 409A, and in the event that Employee is a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A, no amount shall be payable until the first day of the seventh month
immediately following the separation from service; (c) to the extent that reimbursements or other in-kind benefits under this Agreement constitute nonqualified deferred compensation, (i) all expenses or other reimbursements hereunder shall
be made on or prior to the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expenses were incurred by Employee, (ii) any right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another
benefit, and (iii) no such reimbursement, expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided in any taxable year shall in any way affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other
taxable year; (d) for purposes of Section 409A, Employee’s right to receive installment payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct

  
 7 

 
payments, whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days, the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole
discretion of Company; and (e) any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall any payment or benefit under this Agreement that constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation for purposes of
Section 409A be subject to offset by any other amount unless otherwise permitted by Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement, if any payment under this Agreement gives rise, directly
or indirectly, to liability for a penalty tax under Code Section 409A (and/or any penalties and/or interest with respect to such penalty tax or excise tax), Employee shall bear the cost of any and all such penalties, taxes and interest.

 16. 280G. In the event that any payment or benefits of any type by Company to or for the benefit of Employee,
whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, would exceed the statutory limit under Code Section 280G and result in an excise tax imposed on Employee by Code Section 4999 (or
any similar tax that may hereafter be imposed), then such Employee shall receive, subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in full satisfaction of his rights under this Agreement, (A) such payment and benefits, or (B) an amount
equal to the product of 2.99 and Employee’s “base amount” (as defined in Code Section 280G), whichever yields the highest after-tax benefit to the Employee. Any calculations regarding the applicability of the Code
Section 4999 excise tax to any payments by Company to Employee shall be made in the Company’s discretion.
