(b)             Consultant hereby agrees to provide the Services to the Company during the Term faithfully and to the best of his ability, in accordance with applicable law, and the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement.  Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties, Consultant will provide the Services at the Consultant’s office located at 90 Madison Street, Suite 701, Denver, CO 80206. Consultant shall devote such of Consultant’s business time, attention and skills to the performance of the Services as is reasonably required by the duties and responsibilities being assumed by Consultant hereunder. Consultant may engage in other business activities for other corporations and entities so long as Consultant’s responsibilities with respect thereto do not conflict or interfere with the faithful performance of his duties hereunder.

 

2.            COMPENSATION

 

(a)             Consulting Fee.  As consideration for any Services to be rendered by Consultant during the Term, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company shall pay Consultant at the annual rate of sixty thousand dollars ($60,000) (the “Consulting Fee”), which shall be payable monthly in advance throughout the Term. All payments to Consultant under this Agreement of Consulting Fees and other remuneration shall be paid to Corporate Finance Group, a company owned by the Consultant, or shall be paid as otherwise directed by the Consultant.

 

  

1

  

 

(b)             Option Grant.  (i) On the Effective Date, the Company shall grant options (the “Options”) to Consultant to purchase 175,000 shares of common stock (the “Common Stock”) of the Company, upon vesting, at an exercise price of $0.01 per share.  The Options shall vest ratably in arrears over four quarterly periods with the initial vesting date being January 9, 2014 and the subsequent vesting dates being April 9, 2014, July 9, 2014 and October 9, 2014. On each vesting date, 43,750 of the Options shall vest. The Options shall be non-statutory options and shall be issued under the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan. They shall have a term of ten years from the date of grant. In the event that this Agreement and the Engagement of Consultant is terminated by the Company or the Consultant (i) any unvested Options at the time of termination shall be cancelled and (ii) any vested Options at the time of termination shall be cancelled 90 days after the date of termination. The Options may be exercised on a cashless basis.

 

(ii)             Consultant represents and warrants to the Company that, as of the date hereof and the time of such issuance, Consultant (i) will acquire the Options and if exercised, the shares of Common Stock underlying the Option (the “Shares”), for investment for its own account and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof; (ii) understands and acknowledges that the Options and the Shares have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state or foreign securities laws, by reason of an exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act and applicable state and foreign securities laws; (iii) does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person or entity to sell, transfer or grant participation to any third person with respect to the Options or the underlying Shares; and (iv) understands that a limited market for the Common Stock now exists and that there may never be an active public market for the Shares.

 

(iii)             Consultant understands that the Company is presently a “shell company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  Pursuant to Rule 144(i), securities issued by a current or former shell company (such as the Securities) that otherwise meet the holding period and other requirements of Rule 144 nevertheless cannot be sold in reliance on Rule 144 until one year after the Company (i) is no longer a shell company; and (ii) has filed current “Form 10 information” (as defined in Rule 144(i)) with the SEC reflecting that it is no longer a shell company, and provided that at the time of a proposed sale pursuant to Rule 144, the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and has filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports.  As a result, the restrictive legends on certificates for the securities cannot be removed except in connection with an actual sale meeting the foregoing requirements or pursuant to an effective registration statement.

 

(iv)            Consultant understands that the certificates or other instruments representing the Options and if exercised, the Shares, shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates):

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”). THESE SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED ONLY (A) TO THE COMPANY, (B) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (C) IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144 OR 144A THEREUNDER, IF AVAILABLE, AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, (D) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT, OR (E) IN A TRANSACTION THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND THE HOLDER HAS, PRIOR TO SUCH SALE, FURNISHED TO THE COMPANY AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE OF EXEMPTION, IN EITHER CASE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY. HEDGING TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE CONDUCTED UNLESS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT.

 

(c)             Business Expenses. The Company shall reimburse Consultant for all reasonable and necessary business expenses actually incurred by Consultant in performing the Services; including but not limited to reimbursement of all travel related to the Services on the terms set forth herein. As a condition for reimbursement of Consultant’s expenses pursuant to this Agreement, Consultant shall provide actual receipts to the Company for any such expenses and Consultant shall obtain prior written approval from the Company for any individual expense in an amount greater than $100.

 

  

2

  

 

(d)             Tax Matters. The Company and Consultant agree that Consultant shall be treated as an independent contractor, and not as an employee of the Company, with respect to the services performed hereunder.  All fees payable to Consultant hereunder shall be paid in full, without any withholding, deduction, or offset of any Federal, state, or local income taxes, employment taxes, or other withholdings.  Consultant hereby covenants and agrees that he shall be solely responsible for all income taxes, payroll taxes, and other withholdings (both employer and employee portions) with respect to all fees paid by the Company hereunder, and agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless with respect to such taxes and withholdings, including, without limitation, any such taxes and withholdings imposed as a result of any claim or determination by any taxing authority or otherwise that Consultant is not an independent contractor with respect to the services performed hereunder.

 

3.            TERM.

 

(a)             Term. This Agreement, and the Services to be performed hereunder, shall commence on the date hereof, and shall continue for a twelve month period which will automatically renew for an additional twelve month period unless terminated prior thereto by either party, in writing, as provided in this Agreement (the “Term”).

                                  Consultant acknowledges that the Company would suffer irreparable harm if he fails to comply with the provisions of this section, and that the Company would be entitled to any appropriate relief, including money damages, equitable relief and attorneys’ fees.
