 EXHIBIT 10.3 
 IMMUNOCELLULAR THERAPEUTICS, LTD. 
 AMENDMENT NO. 4 TO 2006 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN 
 This is Amendment No. 4 to the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (this “Amendment”), dated as of June 24, 2008, of ImmunoCellular
Therapeutics, Ltd., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). All capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth in the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). 
 WHEREAS, the Company’s Board of Directors have determined to amend the Plan to increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available for
grant to an eligible person during any twelve-month period under the Plan, with such increase to be subject to approval by the Company’s stockholders; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, the Company hereby amends the Plan as set forth herein: 
 Section 3 is hereby deleted
in its entirety and is restated to read as follows, with such amendment and restatement to be subject to approval by the Company’s stockholders: 
 “3. STOCK SUBJECT TO THIS PLAN; MAXIMUM NUMBER OF GRANTS 
 Subject to the
provisions of Sections 6.1.1 and 8.2 of this Plan, the total number of shares of Common Stock which may be offered, or issued as restricted stock or on the exercise of Options or SARs under the Plan shall not exceed three million four hundred
thousand (3,400,000) shares of Common Stock. The shares subject to an Option or SAR granted under the Plan which expire, terminate or are cancelled unexercised shall become available again for grants under this Plan. If shares of restricted
stock awarded under the Plan are forfeited to the Company or repurchased by the Company, the number of shares forfeited or repurchased shall again be available under the Plan. Where the exercise price of an Option is paid by means of the
optionee’s surrender of previously owned shares of Common Stock or the Company’s withholding of shares otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Option as may be permitted herein, only the net number of shares issued and which remain
outstanding in connection with such exercise shall be deemed “issued” and no longer available for issuance under this Plan. No eligible person shall be granted Options or other awards during any twelve-month period covering more than six
hundred thousand (600,000) shares.” 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Amendment to be duly executed as of the date
first written above.

 Exhibit 10.18 
 AMENDMENT #1 
 INTREPID POTASH, INC. 
 2008 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN 
 1. Plan Sponsor: Intrepid Potash, Inc. 
 2. Amendment of Plan: The following Amendment to the Intrepid Potash, Inc. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”) has been adopted in
order to permit clearly the anticipated and desired ability of the Board or the Committee to delegate authority to make restricted stock grants under the Equity Plan with respect to certain groups of eligible individuals. The Amendment is effective
as provided in paragraph 3. 
  

	 	A.	Section 2.10 of the Plan shall be amended by deleting the existing Section 2.10 in its entirety and replacing it with the following: 

 2.10 “Committee” means the Compensation Committee or other committee of the Board appointed by the Board to administer the Plan,
or if no such committee is or has yet been appointed, the Board. The Committee or the Board may designate one or more subcommittees to (i) consist solely of persons who satisfy the applicable requirements of any stock exchange or national
market system on which the shares of Stock may be listed, (ii) consist solely of persons who qualify as an “outside director” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, and (iii) consist solely of persons who qualify
as a “non-employee director” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, with each such subcommittee having the power and authority delegated to it by the Committee or the Board, as applicable. Nothing in this
definition shall be deemed to interfere with or prevent the Board or the Committee, as applicable, from delegating administrative authority under the Plan to specified officers or to other committees of the Board pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof.

  

	 	B.	Section 3.2 of the Plan shall be amended by deleting the existing Section 3.2 in its entirety and replacing it with the following: 

 3.2 Delegation by the Committee or the Board. The Committee or the Board may, from time to time, delegate to specified officers of the
Company, and the Board may delegate to one or more committees of the Board (including committees of the Board consisting solely of one or more members of the Board who are also officers of the Company), the power and authority to grant or document
Awards under the Plan to specified groups of eligible individuals, subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Committee or the Board, in their sole discretion, may impose. The delegation shall be as broad or as narrow as the Committee or the
Board shall determine. To the extent that the Committee or the Board has delegated the authority to determine certain terms and conditions of an Award, all references in the Plan to the Committee’s exercise of authority in determining such
terms and conditions shall be construed to include the officer or officers, or the Board committee or committees, to whom the Committee or the Board has delegated the power and authority to make such determination. However, any delegation
(a) shall not result in the loss of an exemption under Rule 16b-3(d) for Awards granted to Participants subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act in respect of the Company, (b) will not cause Awards intended to qualify as
“performance-based” compensation under Code Section 162(m) to fail to so qualify, (c) will not result in a related-person transaction with an executive officer required to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of
Regulation S-K (in accordance with Instruction 5.a.ii thereunder) under the Exchange Act, and (d) shall be permitted under all applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law. 
 3. Effective Date of Amendment: July 1, 2008. 
 4. Terms and
Conditions of Plan: Except for the above amendments, all terms and conditions of the Equity Plan are unamended and shall remain in full force and effect.

 Exhibit 10.01 
 STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA 
 COUNTY OF DAVIE 
 RESIGNATION AND 
 CONSULTATION AGREEMENT 
 AND RELEASE 
 THIS RESIGNATION AND CONSULTATION AGREEMENT AND RELEASE (the
“Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between BANK OF THE CAROLINAS (the “Bank”); and ERIC E. RHODES (“Rhodes”); 
 W I T N E S S E T H: 
 WHEREAS, Rhodes is employed by the Bank as Senior Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer, and serves as Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Bank’s parent company, Bank of the Carolinas Corporation (“BCC”); and 
 WHEREAS, Rhodes has notified the Bank and BCC that he wishes to resign from these positions, effective May 30, 2008 (the “Resignation Date”), and the parties have reached an arrangement as to such
resignation, as evidenced in this Agreement; and 
 WHEREAS, the Bank desires to assure itself of Rhodes’ availability during the period
following his resignation to assist in the transition of his duties to a new or interim chief financial officer and, for that purpose, the Bank and Rhodes have negotiated an agreement pursuant to which Rhodes shall, after the Resignation Date,
perform certain services and provide support, advice, and counsel from time-to-time to the Bank’s and BCC’s management on an as needed basis; and 
 WHEREAS, an agreement has been reached between Rhodes and the Bank concerning certain other matters as contained herein, and the Bank and Rhodes hereby desire to set forth the terms and conditions thereof in writing.

 NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, and for other good and
valuable considerations, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, the Bank and Rhodes agree as follows: 
 1.
RESIGNATION. Rhodes hereby resigns from his positions with the Bank and BCC. Rhodes’ employment shall terminate on the Resignation Date, and Rhodes shall have no further authority as an employee or agent of the Bank or BCC. Rhodes
specifically recognizes and agrees that this Agreement is a full and complete resolution, settlement, and termination of any rights or claims that Rhodes may have had, or alleges to have had, to any further employment with the Bank, its
subsidiaries, or affiliates following the Resignation Date, including but not limited to BCC. 
 2. SALARY AND VACATION PAY. The Bank
shall pay to Rhodes his normal salary, plus the amount of his accrued but unused vacation leave, less normal deductions and withholdings, through and as of the Resignation Date, and agrees to provide further special payments and consideration to
Rhodes as set forth below. 
 3. CONSULTING SERVICES AND PAYMENTS. 
 (a) Effective as of the Resignation Date and continuing until August 31, 2008 (the “Consulting Period”), Rhodes shall become an
independent contractor and consultant to the Bank and BCC and provide support, advice, and counsel to the Bank’s and BCC’s management on an as-needed basis on matters related to his former responsibilities as an officer and employee of the
Bank and an officer of BCC and to the transition of his duties to a new or interim chief financial officer; provided, however, that the Consulting Period shall terminate immediately in the event Rhodes revokes the release provisions of
this Agreement pursuant to Paragraph 7. Rhodes shall not be obligated to provide consulting services for more than ten hours per calendar week during the Consulting Period, and, at his option, he may provide those services at such location,
including his home, as he shall determine from time to time. To the extent that all or any portion of the consulting services are provided on the Bank’s premises, the Bank will provide Rhodes with office space, computer access and such other
support services as shall reasonably be needed in order to provide the services requested by the Bank. 

 (b) As consideration for the consulting services to be provided by Rhodes, and for the other terms and
conditions of this Agreement, including but not limited to the provisions of Paragraph 6 (Covenant of Nondisclosure) and Paragraph 7 (Release), during the Consulting Period the Bank shall pay to Rhodes the amount of $9,660.00 per full calendar
month, beginning June 1, 2008, for each of the three full calendar months during the Consulting Period (the “Consulting Payments”); provided, however, that Rhodes shall be entitled to only a pro rata portion of such
Consulting Payments in the event the Consulting Period is terminated early pursuant to Paragraph 3(a). The Consulting Payments will be due and payable monthly, in arrears, on the last business day of each calendar month, as applicable. 

Rhodes acknowledges that no withholdings shall be made from the Consulting Payments, and Rhodes hereby agrees that he shall be solely responsible for
all taxes, insurance, penalties, and other charges, if any, which may be owed to or assessed by governmental agencies as a result of the payments paid to him pursuant to this Paragraph 3. Rhodes further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Bank
and its attorneys from any claims, demands, deficiencies, levies, assessments, judgments, or recoveries by any governmental authority asserted against the Bank because of Rhodes’ failure to pay applicable taxes. 
 4. INSURANCE CONTINUATION. Rhodes acknowledges and agrees that, upon the Resignation Date, he shall no longer be eligible for any benefits,
including but not limited to insurance, which are available to employees of the Bank. Rhodes may elect to continue his group insurance coverage in accordance with provisions of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”);
provided, however, that Rhodes shall be solely responsible for the payment of the premiums of such coverage. 
 5.
TERMINATION/CONTINUATION OF CERTAIN RIGHTS AND BENEFITS. Rhodes recognizes and agrees that payment of his salary, payment for accrued but unused vacation leave, and payment of the Consulting Payments, as described in Paragraphs 2 and 3 of
this Agreement, are in full settlement of any wages and benefits owing to Rhodes through the Resignation Date. Except for Rhodes’ rights and benefits under this Agreement and his vested rights under the Bank’s Section 401(k) plan, all
of Rhodes’ employment rights, wages, and benefits with the Bank, and all subsidiaries and affiliates of the Bank, including but not limited to BCC, shall, to the extent permitted by law, terminate and be forfeited as of the Resignation Date,
including, without limitation, his eligibility for further payment of any salary, vacation, personal leave, sick leave, severance pay, bonuses, or any other amounts. Rhodes further recognizes and agrees that payment of his salary, payment for
accrued but unused vacation leave, and payment of the Consulting Payments by the Bank, are not to be construed as an admission of any liability on the part of the Bank or its subsidiaries or affiliates, and that the Bank has denied and denies any
violation of any law and any liability, and intends by such payments simply to recognize Rhodes’ service prior to the Resignation Date, his consulting services to be rendered, and his agreements contained herein. 
 6. COVENANT OF NONDISCLOSURE. During the course of Rhodes’ employment with the Bank, Rhodes has been given and has obtained various
confidential and material non-public information concerning the Bank, BCC, their subsidiaries and affiliates, the shareholders, directors, officers, associates, employees, and agents of said entities, and their customers, prospective customers,
services, trade secrets, proprietary information, personnel information, and other information concerning their operations, business and financial condition and results (collectively, the “Information”), all of which constitute valuable
assets and privileged information of the Bank and BCC, and which Information is particularly sensitive due to the fiduciary responsibilities and public trust inherent in the Bank’s business and the public trading market for BCC’s common
stock. The Bank and Rhodes acknowledge that the Bank has invested, and shall continue to invest, considerable amounts of time, effort, and resources in developing such valuable assets and Information, that BCC and its officers and directors are
subject to various federal laws and regulations regarding the orderly disclosure of material information, and that disclosure by Rhodes of such assets and Information to the public or to any other person or entity, regardless of how insignificant
such assets or Information may seem, would cause irreparable harm, damage, and loss to the Bank and BCC. 
 To protect the Bank and BCC from
Rhodes’ use, disclosure, or exploitation of customer contacts and the Information, Rhodes agrees that Rhodes shall not, directly or indirectly, at any time after the Resignation Date, for any reason, reveal, divulge, disclose, or communicate to
any person, corporation, firm, or other entity or to any shareholder, director, officer, partner, member, manager, employee, agent, or associate of any such person, corporation, firm, or other entity, any confidential, sensitive, or personal
information, proprietary information, trade secret, or other information whatsoever, including but not limited to the Information, about or received by Rhodes from the Bank, BCC, or their subsidiaries or affiliates, developed or received by Rhodes
during employment with the Bank, BCC, or their subsidiaries or affiliates, or developed or received by Rhodes during the course of Rhodes’ association with the Bank, BCC, or their subsidiaries or affiliates, relating to the operations, business
or financial condition or results of the Bank, BCC, or their subsidiaries or affiliates, or the business or personal affairs of the shareholders, directors, officers, associates, employees, agents, or attorneys of said entities, including, without
limitation, 

 
information concerning customer and prospective customer records, personnel information, ideas, proprietary information, methods, marketing investigations,
surveys, research, accounting information, regulatory examinations, and other like or similar information, unless required to do so by law or by a court of competent jurisdiction. Further, Rhodes shall not use the Information to the detriment of the
Bank, BCC, their subsidiaries or affiliates, or the principals, shareholders, directors, officers, associates, or employees of said entities, particularly in any manner competitive with the Bank or BCC, in any unlawful manner, or to interfere with
or attempt to terminate or otherwise adversely affect any business relationship of the Bank or BCC with a customer. 
 7. RELEASE.
Except for Rhodes’ specific contractual rights and benefits under this Agreement and except as prohibited by law, Rhodes hereby releases, acquits, quitclaims, and discharges the Bank, any subsidiaries or affiliates of the Bank, and their
respective successors and assigns, and the shareholders, directors, officers, associates, employees, agents, attorneys, benefit plans, and plan administrators of all of said entities, and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the
“Releasees”), of and from any and all actions, causes of action, claims, demands, damages, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), loss of services, expenses, and compensation, and for all consequential, compensatory, actual,
punitive, or liquidated damages, known or unknown, including those under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, 29 U.S.C. § 621 et seq., on account of, or in any way arising from the employment or any other relationship between Rhodes and
the Bank, and any and all collateral matters pertaining thereto, whether directly, indirectly, or in any way connected with any Releasee. As part of the consideration for this Agreement, Rhodes agrees that, to the extent permitted by law and except
as otherwise required by law, neither Rhodes nor any of his heirs, legal representatives, or assigns will make or file any claim, charge, or lawsuit, or cooperate voluntarily in any investigation, lawsuit, or legal or administrative proceeding by
any individual, entity, or agency, against or involving any Releasee, for or on account of any claim Rhodes may have or may have had against any Releasee in connection with Rhodes’ employment or any other relationship with the Bank, the matters
referenced above, and/or the cessation of Rhodes’ employment with the Bank. Rhodes further agrees that, except as prohibited by law, Rhodes will waive and release any and all personal damages (including but not limited to damages relating to
pain and suffering, back pay, and compensatory and/or punitive damages) resulting from any charge filed with or investigation conducted by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or any other administrative agency in connection with Rhodes’
employment or any other relationship with the Bank. 
 Rhodes understands and agrees that with respect to any rights or claims of Rhodes
under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, 29 U.S.C. § 621 et seq. (the “Act”): (a) no rights or claims are waived by Rhodes that may arise from an event or transaction that occurs after the date this Agreement is executed

Rhodes’ execution hereof has expired (the “Effective Date”).

acknowledges and agrees that his resignation is voluntary and that, pursuant to the terms of the Bank’s Employee Stock Option Plan, such voluntary resignation shall result in the immediate forfeiture of all outstanding stock options currently
held by Rhodes, whether vested or unvested. 
 9. ENTIRE UNDERSTANDING/AMENDMENTS. This Agreement contains the entire understanding
between the Bank and Rhodes as to the matters contained herein, and no conditions precedent or subsequent exist which are not contained herein. This Agreement may not be altered, amended, or revoked except by a written agreement signed by the Bank
and Rhodes. 
 10. BINDING EFFECT. The Bank and Rhodes recognize and agree that this Agreement is binding upon the Bank and Rhodes and
its/Rhodes’ respective heirs, representatives, successors, and assigns, as applicable. Rhodes further acknowledges that Rhodes has carefully read this Agreement, which contains a release, and knows and understands the contents hereof and
voluntarily executes the same as Rhodes’ free act and deed, and that the provisions contained herein constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto, and that the terms of this Agreement are contractual and not a mere recital.

 11. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE. The Bank and Rhodes agree that without regard to principles of conflicts of laws, the internal laws of
the State of North Carolina shall govern and control the validity, interpretation, performance, and enforcement of this Agreement. The Bank and Rhodes agree that any action relating to this Agreement shall be instituted and prosecuted only in the
courts of Davie County, North Carolina or the federal courts of the Middle District of North Carolina, and the Bank and Rhodes hereby consent to the jurisdiction of such courts and waive any right or defense relating to venue and jurisdiction over
the person. 

 12. SEVERABILITY. The invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision of this Agreement
shall not affect the other provisions hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provision were not contained herein. 
 13. ASSIGNMENT. The Bank may assign this Agreement to any other corporation or entity acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of the
Bank, or to any other corporation or entity into which or with which the Bank may be merged or consolidated. Upon such assignment, merger, or consolidation, the rights of the Bank under this Agreement, as well as the obligations and liabilities of
the Bank herein, shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon any and all successors-in-interest or transferees of all or substantially all of the assets of the Bank. This Agreement is not assignable in any respect by Rhodes.
