BOARD AND ITS COMMITTEES

Chairman

Our Board does not have a fixed policy regarding the roles for the Chairman of the Board ("Chairman") and CEO on whether they should be served independently or jointly. Currently, Mr. Bilsland holds both positions. We see the dual role as a bridge between management and the Board. We believe that a Chairman who understands the day-to-day business and the important issues to be addressed by the Board is currently in the Company and the shareholders' best interest. Our Board members have a significant monetary stake in the Company and believe they can provide oversight to the combined role

Due to the size of our Board, we do not have a Lead Independent Director.

Independent and Non-Management Directors

After considering the standards for independence adopted by Nasdaq, the SEC, and various other factors as described herein, the Board has determined that all of our current directors, other than Mr. Bilsland, are independent. Mr. David C. Hardie and Mr. Charles Wesley are the only non-employee directors that receive compensation from us.

Board Meetings and Attendance

During 2019, the Board held six meetings, and each of the committees held the number of meetings included in the description of the committees set forth below. Each board member up for re-election attended at least 75% of the Board and Committee meetings, which he served on during the year.

We do not have a specific policy regarding attendance at the annual shareholders meeting. All directors, however, are encouraged to attend if available. Five of six directors participated at the 2019 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, one in person and four via conference call.

Executive Sessions of Non-Management Directors

To promote open discussions, our non-management directors meet in executive sessions regularly after scheduled board meetings.

Committees

Our Board has three separately designated standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, and a Nominating Committee. The committee charters are available on our website, www.halladorenergy.com.

The membership and purposes of each of the committees are described below.

Audit Committee
	David C. Hardie *Chair and Financial* *Expert* Bryan H. Lawrence David J. Lubar	All of our Audit Committee members are "independent" as defined by the Nasdaq listing standards, including those standards applicable specifically to audit committee members. Also, no member of the Audit Committee has served as one of our officers or employees at any time. All members of the Audit Committee are "non-employee directors" as defined in SEC rules. In addition to regularly scheduled meetings, the committee meets separately in executive sessions with representatives of our independent auditor. The Audit Committee approves the appointment and services of the independent auditor and reviews the general scope of the audit and audit-related services, matters relating to internal controls, and other matters related to accounting and reporting functions. The Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities concerning:

		(i)	The integrity of the financial reports and other financial information provided by us to the public or any governmental body;

		(ii)	our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements;

		(iii)	our systems of internal controls over financial reporting;

		(iv)	the qualifications and independence of our independent auditors;

		(v)	our auditing, accounting, and financial reporting processes generally; and

		(vi)	the performance of such other functions as the Board may assign from time to time.

		To this end, the Audit Committee will maintain free and open communication with the Board, the independent auditors, and any other person responsible for our financial management. The Board also determined that Mr. David C. Hardie qualifies as an audit committee financial expert under the applicable SEC rules.

	The Audit Committee met four times in 2019.

*Compensation Committee*
	David J. Lubar *Chair* David C. Hardie Steven R. Hardie Bryan H. Lawrence	All of our Compensation Committee members are "independent" as defined by the Nasdaq listing standards, including those standards that apply specifically to compensation committee members. Also, no member of the Compensation Committee has served as one of our officers or employees at any time. All members of the Compensation Committee are "non-employee directors." The purpose of our Compensation Committee is to:

		(i)	oversee our executive and director compensation;

		(ii)	oversee and administer our stock incentive plans;

	The Compensation Committee did not meet in 2019, but many actions were taken by unanimous written consent.

*Nominating Committee*
	Charles R. Wesley, IV *Chair* David C. Hardie Steven R. Hardie Bryan H. Lawrence David J. Lubar	No member of the Nominating Committee has served as one of our officers or employees at any time. All members of the Nominating Committee are independent, as defined in SEC rules. The purpose of our Compensation Committee is to:

		(i)	assist our Board by identifying individuals qualified for election and re-election as Board members and to recommend to our Board, the director nominees for each annual meeting of shareholders, subject to the provisions of any shareholder or similar agreement binding on us;

		(ii)	recommend to the Board director nominees for each committee of the Board, subject to the provisions of any shareholder or similar agreement binding on us, and act on specific matters within its delegated authority, as determined by the Board from time to time.

	The Nominating Committee met once in 2019.

Changes to Procedures for Recommending Nominees for the Board of Directors. None

Board Risk Oversight

Our Board has ultimate responsibility for general oversight of risk management processes. The Board receives regular reports from Mr. Bilsland on areas of risk we face. Our risk management processes are intended to identify, manage, and control risks so that they are appropriate considering our scope, operations, and business objectives. The full Board engages with the appropriate members of management to enable its members to understand and provide input and oversight of our risk identification, risk management, and risk mitigation strategies. The Audit Committee also meets without management present to, among other things, discuss our risk management culture and processes. In the event, a committee receives a report from a member of management regarding areas of risk, the Chairman of the relevant committee will report on the discussion to the full Board to the extent necessary or appropriate. This enables the Board to coordinate risk oversight, particularly concerning interrelated or cumulative risks that may involve multiple areas for which more than one committee has responsibility.

Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions

Any transaction with a related person must be approved in advance by our Audit Committee. The Audit Committee approves only those related person transactions that are determined to be in, or not inconsistent with, the best interests of the Company and our stockholders, taking into account all available facts and circumstances as the Audit Committee determines in good faith to be necessary. In reviewing and approving such transactions, the Audit Committee shall obtain or shall direct management to obtain on its behalf, all information that the Audit Committee believes to be relevant and important to a review of the transaction before its approval. The Audit Committee may adopt any further policies and procedures relating to the approval of related person transactions that it deems necessary or advisable from time to time.

Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policy

We maintain an insider trading policy that applies to our officers and directors that prohibits trading our securities when in possession of material non-public information. It prohibits the hedging of our securities, including short sales or purchases or sales of derivative securities based on our securities, and, unless our Audit Committee approves an exemption, the pledging of our securities. Since the adoption of our insider trading policy, the Audit Committee has not granted any such exemptions to the policy's general prohibition on pledging.

Ownership Policy

We have not adopted a formal stock ownership policy for our NEOs, but through the vesting of the RSUs, they hold a significant portion of their wealth in our stock.

Code of Conduct

Our Board adopted the Company's Code of Conduct, which provides general statements of our expectations regarding ethical standards that we expect our directors, officers, and employees to adhere to while acting on our behalf. The Code of Conduct provides, among other things, that our directors, officers, and employees will: (i) comply with all laws, rules, and regulations applicable to us; (ii) avoid conflicts of interest; (iii) protect our assets and maintain our confidentiality; (iv) honestly and accurately maintain records and make required disclosures; and (v) promote ethical behavior and report violations of laws, rules, regulations or the Code of Conduct.

The Code of Conduct is available on our website, www.halladorenergy.com.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and related regulations require our Section 16 officers and directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock to file with the SEC. We believe all of these reports were timely filed based upon our review of the reports filed with the SEC.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The compensation committee has reviewed and discussed the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" section of this Form 10-K/A with management. Based on its review and discussion with management, the compensation committee recommended to the Board that the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" section be included in this Form 10-K/A.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Compensation of our named executive officers ("NEOs") is determined under our executive compensation plan, which is overseen by the compensation committee. Our Board controls 29.4% of Common Stock, and our Compensation Committee is comprised of four directors who together control 25.3 % of our shares outstanding. The Compensation Committee determines how the NEOs should be compensated.

For 2019, we had two NEOs. Our NEOs do not have:

●

Employment agreements.

●

Excessive perquisites such as company aircraft, car leases, or country club memberships.

●

Stock options.

●

Post-employment benefits other than our 401(k) plan, which is available to all employees.

●

Separate health benefit programs. They participate in the same health plan offered to all of the employees and their families.

Our CEO received a housing allowance that offset the increased housing expense for his move from Indiana to Colorado. The housing allowance, which covered rent through July 2020, was grossed up for all applicable payroll taxes.

Our Compensation Committee does not use outside consultants to determine executive compensation. Our Board believes that based on their many years of business experience, they have the requisite knowledge to decide on our NEOs compensation.

Our compensation is designed to retain and reward our NEO's by establishing a base salary that provides a degree of financial certainty and stability coupled with RSU awards that vest over time to help ensure that they have a stake in the Company's long-term success by providing an incentive to improve the overall growth, profitability, and value of our company while aligning their interests with those of our shareholders.

Based on W-2s, in 2019, at minimum, ~26% of our NEOs' compensation was attributable to the vesting of RSUs, and in 2018, 46% of their compensation was due to the vesting of RSUs

Our NEOs' 2019 compensation was set under the Four-Year Compensation Plan (The Four-Year Plan) adopted in June 2017. Our compensation components are:

●

Annual Base Salary (not attached to performance goals) – salaries set for 2018-2021.

●

RSUs that vest/lapse annually equally over four years. The first vesting was on December 14, 2018. Such RSUs were issued under the shareholder approved Amended and Restated Restricted Stock Unit Plan.

●

Retention Bonus in the event of a change of control due to (1) the acquisition by any person or group of related persons (as determined pursuant to section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) of beneficial ownership of securities of the Corporation representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the total number of votes that may be cast for the election of Board members, or (ii) shareholder approval of (A) any agreement for a merger or consolidation in which the Corporation will not survive as an independent corporation or other entity, or (B) any sale, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets, including, without limitation, the sale, exchange or other disposition of the equity securities or assets of Sunrise Coal, LLC.

The Four-Year Plan was terminated on March 5, 2020, and replaced with the two-year 2020 Plan (the “2020 Plan”), see Exhibit 10.1 attached hereto. The compensation components of the 2020 Plan are:

●

Annual Base Salary (not attached to performance goals) – salaries set for 2020-2021.

●

RSUs that vest annually equally over two years. The first vesting will be on December 16, 2020. Such RSUs were issued under the shareholder approved Amended and Restated Restricted Stock Unit Plan.

●

Performance Bonus is an amount based on performance relative to the target goals as of the relevant date. The performance plan term and conditions are consistent with the Company’s goals for the performance period of January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020.

Audit Committee Report

Review of Fiscal Year 2019 Consolidated Financial Statements

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is comprised of independent directors and operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee Charter is reviewed and updated as needed per applicable rules of the SEC and The Nasdaq Stock Market.

The Audit Committee serves in an oversight capacity. Management is responsible for the Company's internal controls over financial reporting. The independent auditors are responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company's financial statements per the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB") and issuing a report thereon. The Audit Committee's primary responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes and to select and retain the Company's independent auditors. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed with management the Company's audited financial statements and discussed not only the acceptability but also the quality of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of the significant judgments and estimates, critical accounting policies and the clarity of disclosures in the audited financial statements prior to issuance.

The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019, with the Company's independent auditors, Plante & Moran PLLC ("Plante Moran"), and discussed not only the acceptability but also the quality of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of the significant judgments and estimates, critical accounting policies and the clarity of disclosures in the audited financial statements prior to issuance. The Audit Committee discussed with Plante Moran the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB and the SEC. The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from Plante Moran required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding independent auditor communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and has discussed with Plante Moran.

Based on the review and discussions with our independent registered public accounting firm, Plante & Moran, PLLC., the Audit Committee has recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board has approved, that the audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, for filing with the SEC.

ARTICLE II.

Shareholders Meetings

Section 1. Annual Meeting. An annual meeting of the shareholders shall be held at such time and date as may be determined by the Board of Directors for the purpose of electing directors and for the transaction of such other business as may come before the meeting. If the election of directors shall not be held on the day designated herein for any annual meeting, or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors shall cause the election to be held at a meeting of the shareholders as soon thereafter as is convenient. Failure to hold an annual meeting as required by these bylaws shall not invalidate any action taken by the Board of Directors or officers of the Corporation.

Section 2. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the shareholders, for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute, may be called at any time by the President, any Vice-President, the Secretary or the Board of Directors, and shall be called by the President at the request of the holders of not less than one-tenth of all the outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to vote and the meeting. The notice or call of a special meeting shall state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.

Section 3. Place of Meeting. Each meeting of the shareholders shall be held at such place, either within or outside Colorado, as may be designated in the notice of meeting, or, if no place is designated in the notice, at the registered office of the Corporation in Colorado.

Section 4. Notice of Meeting. Except as otherwise prescribed by statute, written notice of each meeting of the shareholders stating the place, day and hour of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than fifty (50) days before the date of the meeting, either personally or by first-class, certified or registered mail, by or at the direction of the President, or the Secretary, or the officer or person calling the meeting, to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail, addressed to each shareholder at his address as it appears on the stock transfer books of the Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid, but if three successive notices mailed to the last-known address of any shareholder of record are returned as undeliverable, no further notices to such shareholder shall be necessary until another address for such shareholder is made known to the Corporation. If requested by a person or persons, other than the Corporation, lawfully calling a meeting, the Secretary shall give notice of such meeting at corporate expense.

Section 5. Closing of Transfer Books or Fixing of Record Date. For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at, any meeting of the shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or shareholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination of shareholders for any other proper purpose, the Board of Directors may provide that the stock transfer books shall be closed for any stated period not exceeding fifty days. If the stock transfer books shall be closed for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the shareholders, such books shall be closed for at least ten days immediately preceding such meeting. In lieu of closing the stock transfer books, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of shareholders, such date, in any case, to be not more than fifty days, and, in case of a meeting of the shareholders, not less than ten days prior to the date on which the particular action, requiring such determination of shareholders, is to be taken. If the stock transfer books are not closed, and no record date is fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the shareholders, or shareholders entitled to receive payment of a dividend, the date on which notice of the meeting is mailed or the date on which the resolution of the Board of Directors declaring such dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record date for such determination of shareholders. When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of the shareholders has been made as provided in this section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof except where the determination has been made through the closing of the stock transfer books, and the stated period of the closing has expired.

Section 6. Voting Record. The officer or agent having charge of the stock transfer books for shares of the Corporation shall make, at least ten days before each meeting of the shareholders, a complete record of the shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting or any adjournment thereof, arranged in alphabetical order, with the address of and the number of shares held by each. For a period of ten days before such meeting, this record shall be kept on file at the principal office of the Corporation, whether within or outside Colorado and shall be subject to inspection by any shareholder for any purpose germane to the meeting at any time during usual business hours. Such record shall also be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to the inspection of any shareholder for any purpose germane to the meeting during the whole time of the meeting. The original stock transfer books shall be prima facie evidence as to who are the shareholders entitled to examine such record or transfer books or to vote at any meeting of the shareholders.

Section 7. Proxies. At each meeting of the shareholders, a shareholder may vote by proxy executed in writing by the shareholder or his duly authorized attorney in fact. Such proxy shall be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation before or at the time of the meeting. No proxy shall be valid after eleven months from the date of its execution, unless otherwise provided in the proxy.

Section 8. Quorum. Except as otherwise required by the laws of Colorado or the articles of incorporation, one-third of the outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at each meeting of the shareholders, and the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented at a meeting at which a quorum is present and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the shareholders. If less than one-third of the outstanding shares are represented at a meeting, a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time for a period not to exceed sixty days at any one adjournment without further notice other than an announcement at the meeting. At such adjourned meeting, at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.

Section 9. Voting of Shares. Each outstanding share of record, regardless of class, is entitled to one vote, and each fractional share is entitled to a corresponding fractional vote, on each matter submitted to a vote of the shareholders either at a meeting thereof or pursuant to Section 1 of this Article, except to the extent that the voting rights of the shares of any class or classes are limited or denied by the articles of incorporation as permitted by the Colorado Corporation Code. In the election of directors each record holder of stock entitled to vote at such election shall have the right to vote the number of shares owned by him for as many persons as there are directors to be elected, and for whose election he has the right to vote. Cumulative voting shall not be allowed.

Section 10. Voting of Shares by Certain Holders. Neither treasury shares, not shares held by another Corporation if a majority of the shares entitled to vote for the election of directors of such other corporation is held by this Corporation shall be voted at any meeting or counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time.

Shares standing in the name of another Corporation may be voted by such officer, agent or proxy as the bylaws of such Corporation may prescribe or, in the absence of such provision, as the Board of Directors of such Corporation may determine.

Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian, or conservator may be voted by him, either in person or by proxy. Without a transfer of such shares into his name. Shares standing in the name of a trustee may be voted by him, either in person or by proxy, but no trustee shall be entitled to vote shares held by him without a transfer of such shares into his name.

Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by such receiver, and shares held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted by such receiver without the transfer thereof into his name if authority so to do is contained in an appropriate order of the court by which such receiver was appointed.

A shareholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote such shares until the shares have been transferred into the name of the pledgee, and thereafter the pledgee shall be entitled to vote the shares so transferred.

Section 11. Conduct of Meetings. The Chairman of the annual or any special meeting of the shareholders shall be the President of the Corporation (or in his absence, any person designated by the Board of Directors), unless and until a different person is elected by a majority of the shares entitled to vote at such a meeting.

The Chairman of the meeting shall appoint one or more persons to act as inspectors or election at the meeting.

Meetings of shareholders shall be conducted in accordance with the following rules:

(a) The Chairman of the meeting shall have absolute authority over matters of procedure and there shall be no appeal from the ruling of the Chairman. If the Chairman, in his absolute discretion, deems it advisable to dispense with the rules of parliamentary procedure as to any one meeting of shareholders or part thereof, the Chairman shall so state and shall clearly state the rules under which the meeting or appropriate part thereof shall be conducted.

(b) If disorder should arise which prevents continuation of the legitimate business of the meeting, the Chairman may quit the chair and announce the adjournment of the meeting; and upon his so doing, the meeting is immediately adjourned.

(d) A resolution or motion shall be considered for vote only if proposed by a shareholder or a duly authorized proxy and seconded by an individual, who is a shareholder or a duly authorized proxy, other than the individual who proposed the resolution or motion.

ARTICLE III

Section 1. General Powers. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by its Board of Directors, except as otherwise provided in the Colorado Corporation Code, the articles of incorporation or these bylaws.

Section 2. Number, Tenure and Qualifications. The number of directors of the Corporation shall be not less than three nor more than fifteen, as determined from time to time by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that there need be only as many directors as there are, or initially will be, shareholders in the event that the outstanding shares are, or initially will be, held of record by fewer than three shareholders. Directors shall be elected at each annual meeting of the shareholders. Each director shall hold office until the next annual meeting of the shareholders and thereafter until his successor shall have been elected and qualified, or until his earlier death, resignation or removal.

Any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors may be filled in by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors, though less than a quorum. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected for the unexpired term of his predecessor in office. Any directorship to be filled by reason of an increase in the number of directors shall be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office or by an election at a meeting of the shareholders called for that purpose, and a director so chosen shall hold office for the term specified in Section 2 above.

Section 4. Regular Meetings. A regular meeting of the Board of Directors shall be held immediately after and at the same place as the annual meeting of the shareholders, or as soon as practicable thereafter at the time and place, either within or outside Colorado, determined by the Board, for the purpose of electing officers and for the transaction of such other business as may come before the meeting. The Board of Directors may provide by resolution the time and place, either within or outside Colorado, for the holding of additional regular meetings.

(The method of notice need not be the same to each director.) Notice shall be deemed to be given, if mailed, when deposited in the United States mail, with postage thereon prepaid, addressed to the director at his business or residence address; if personally delivered, when delivered to the director; if telegraphed, when the telegram is delivered to the director; if telephoned, when communicated to the director. Any director may waive notice of any meeting. The attendance of a director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a director attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any meeting of the Board of Directors need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting unless otherwise required by statute.

Section 7. Presumption of Assent. A director of the Corporation who is present at a meeting of the Board of Directors at which action on any corporate matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless his dissent shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless he shall file his written dissent to such action with the person acting as the secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof or shall forward such dissent by registered mail to the Secretary of the Corporation immediately after the adjournment of the meeting. Such right to dissent shall not apply to a director who voted in favor of such action.

Section 8. Quorum and Voting. A majority of the number of directors fixed by Section 2 of this Article, present in person, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Board of Directors, and the vote of a majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board of Directors. If less than such majority is present at a meeting, a majority of the directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice other than an announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present. No director may vote or act by proxy at any meeting of directors.

Section 9. Compensation. By resolution of the Board of Directors, any director may be paid any one or more of the following: his expenses, if any, of attendance at the meeting; a fixed sum for attendance at such meeting; or, a stated salary as director. No such payment shall preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.

Section 10. Executive and Other Committees. By one or more resolutions, the Board of Directors may designate from among its members an executive committee and one or more other committees, each of which, to the extent provided in the resolution establishing such committee, shall have and may exercise all of the authority of the Board of Directors, except as prohibited by statute. The delegation of authority to any committee shall not operate to relieve the Board of Directors or any member of the Board from any responsibility imposed by law. Rules governing procedures for meetings of any committee of the Board shall be as established by the committee, or in the absence thereof by the Board of Directors.

Section 11. Meetings by Telephone. Unless otherwise provided by the articles of incorporation, members of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof may participate in a meeting of the Board or committee by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other at the same time. Such participation shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.

Section 12. Action Without a Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the directors or any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by all of the directors or committee members entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter thereof.

(a) Certificated shares shall be represented by consecutively numbered certificates signed in the name of the Corporation by its President or Vice President and the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary and shall be sealed with the seal of the Corporation, or with a facsimile thereof. The signatures of the Corporation’s officers on any certificate may also be facsimiles if the certificate is countersigned by a transfer agent, or registered by a registrar, other than the Corporation itself or an employee of the Corporation. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon such certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if such person were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue. Certificates of stock shall be in such form consistent with law as shall be prescribed by the Board of Directors. No certificate shall be issued until the shares represented thereby are fully paid.

(b) The Corporation may adopt a system of issuance, recordation and transfer of its shares by electronic or other means not involving any issuance of certificates, including provisions for notice to purchasers in substitution for any required statements on certificates as may be required by applicable laws, including the Colorado Business Corporation Act. Any system so adopted shall not become effective as to issued and outstanding certificated securities until the certificates therefore have been surrendered to the Corporation. Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, each shareholder, upon written request to the Secretary of the Corporation, shall be entitled to a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares held by him or her in the Corporation. Within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of uncertificated shares, as long as the same is required by the Colorado Business Corporation Act, the Corporation shall send to the registered owner thereof without charge a written statement of the designation, relative rights, preferences and limitations of the shares of each class authorized to be issued and the other information required by the Colorado Business Corporation Act to be set forth or stated on certificates for stock

Shares shall be issued for such consideration expressed in dollars (but not less than the par value thereof) as shall be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors. Treasury shares shall be disposed of for such consideration expressed in dollars as may be fixed from time to time by the Board. Such consideration may consist, in whole or in part, of money, other property, tangible or intangible, or labor or services actually performed for the Corporation, but neither promissory notes nor future services shall constitute payment or part payment for shares.

Section 4. Lost Certificates. In case of the alleged loss, destruction, or mutilation of a certificate of stock, the Board of Directors may direct the issuance of a new certificate in lieu thereof upon such terms and conditions in conformity with law as it may prescribe. The Board of Directors may in its discretion require a bond in such form and amount and with such surety as it may determine, before issuing a new certificate.

Section 5. Transfer of Shares. Upon surrender to the Corporation or to a transfer agent of the Corporation of a certificate of stock duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, it shall be the duty of the Corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto and cancel the old certificate. Every such transfer of stock shall be entered on the stock books of the Corporation.

Section 6. Holders of Record. The Corporation shall be entitled to treat the holder of any record of any share of stock as the holder in fact thereof, and accordingly shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share on the part of any other person whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as may be required by the laws of Colorado.

ARTICLE VI

Indemnification of Directors, Officers,

Employees and Agents

Section 1. Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party, or is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason or the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee, or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Colorado Corporation Code and may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability, and loss (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, BRISA excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith; and, such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors, and administrators: provided, however, that except as provided in Section 2 hereof, with respect to proceedings seeking to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only in such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the reasonable expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or officer (including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon the following: (a) delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article or otherwise, (b) a written affirmation of such director's or officer's good faith belief that he conducted himself in good faith with regard to the actions giving rise to the proceeding; and (c) a determination, required under .the Colorado Corporation Code, of whether the facts then known to those required to make the determination would not preclude such advance of reasonable expenses. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers.

Section 2. Right of Claimant to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section 1 of this Article is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the Colorado Corporation Code for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, its independent legal counsel, or its shareholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Colorado Corporation Code, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, its independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard or conduct.

Section 3. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Article shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.

Section 4. Insurance. The Corporation may, but is not required to, maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power in indemnify such person against such expense, liability, or loss under the Colorado Corporation Code.

Miscellaneous

Section 1. Waivers of Notice. Whenever notice is required by law, by the articles of incorporation or by these bylaws, a waiver thereof in writing signed by the director, shareholder or other person entitled to said notice, whether before or after the time stated therein or his appearance at such meeting in person or (in the case of a shareholders' meeting) by proxy, shall be equivalent to such notice.

Section 2. Voting of Securities by the Corporation. Unless otherwise provided by resolution of the Board of Directors, on behalf of the Corporation the President or any Vice President shall attend in person or by substitute appointed by him, or shall execute written instruments appointing a proxy or proxies to represent the Corporation at, all meetings of the shareholders of any other Corporation, association or other entity in which the Corporation holds any stock or other securities, and may execute written waivers of notice with respect to any such meetings. At all such meetings and otherwise, the President or any Vice President, in person or by substitute or proxy as aforesaid, may vote the stock or other securities so held by the Corporation and may execute written consents and any other instruments with respect to such stock or securities and may exercise any and all rights and powers incident to the ownership of said stock or securities, subject, however, to the instructions, if any, of the Board of Directors.

Section 3. Seal The corporate seal of the Corporation shall be circular in form and shall contain the name of the Corporation, the year of its organization and the words "Seal, Colorado".

Section 4. Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be as established by the Board of Directors.

Section 5. Amendments. Subject to repeal or change by action of the shareholders, the power to alter, amend or repeal these bylaws and adopt new bylaws shall be vested in the Board of Directors.

Participation in 2020 Plan

Each Covered Person who remains employed with the Corporation upon a Change of Control through the Closing shall receive a retention bonus under this 2020 Plan (the “Retention Bonus”) and, provided that the conditions for payment of any Retention Bonus set forth in this 2020 Plan are satisfied, one-hundred percent (100%) of the Retention Bonus, as specified with respect to each Covered Person in Schedule 1 attached hereto, shall be paid in a lump-sum payment on the Payment Date.

(ii) the date of the Covered Person’s death (the “Delay Period”),

and all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to the foregoing (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid to a Covered Person in a lump sum within ten (10) days following the expiration of the Delay Period.

409A Delay Payments

No Property Will Constitute Security

This 2020 Plan is intended to be a “bonus program” as defined under U.S. Department of Labor Regulation Section 2510.3-2(c) and will be construed and administered in accordance with such intention.

Bonus Program

All questions concerning the construction, validation, and interpretation of this 2020 Plan will be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado without regard to its conflict of law’s provisions.

Choice of Law

The Corporation reserves the right to amend or terminate this 2020 Plan at any time; provided, however, that (i) any such amendment or termination shall be made in writing and approved by resolution of the Compensation Committee or the Board, and (ii) following the Effective Date, the Corporation may not, without a Covered Person’s written consent, amend or terminate this 2020 Plan in any way that (x) prevents the Covered Person from becoming eligible for his or her Retention Bonus under this 2020 Plan, or (y) reduces the amount of Retention Bonuses payable, or potentially payable to a Covered Person under this 2020 Plan.

Amendment

Under this 2020 Plan effective January 1, 2020, the salaries (the “2020 Plan Annual Base Salary”) of the Covered Persons shall be as specified with respect to each such Covered Person in Schedule 1 attached hereto.

If a Change of Control occurs before January 1, 2021, for purposes of calculating the Retention Bonuses in Schedule 1, the 2020 Plan Annual Base Salaries shall be as set forth immediately above.

Change of Control Salaries

As promptly as practical after the adoption of this 2020 Plan, the Covered Persons shall be granted restricted stock units in accordance with the RSU Plan and pursuant to award agreements under said RSU Plan approved by the Compensation Committee as specified with respect to each such Covered Person in Schedule 1 attached hereto.

Such restricted stock units shall vest in amounts and at times as set forth in Schedule 1 attached hereto and in accordance with the terms of the RSU Plan and applicable award agreement with respect thereto, which includes full vesting on a Change of Control as defined therein, on the event of death of the holder of restricted stock units, and on such other terms as set forth in the RSU Plan and applicable award agreements with respect thereto.

2020 Plan Restricted Stock Units

The Covered Persons shall be entitled to annual and performance bonuses in amounts as the Compensation Committee shall determine in its discretion but not less than the amounts as specified with respect to each such Covered Person in Schedule 2 attached hereto, payable within 30 days after the end of each fiscal year, provided that such persons are continuing in the services of the Corporation through the fiscal year in respect of which bonuses are paid.

2020 Plan Bonuses

To the maximum extent allowed by law, the right of each of the Covered Persons to receive the Retention Bonus due pursuant to this 2020 Plan in the event of a Change of Control shall be subject to such Covered Person having entered into an agreement with the party that acquires the Company upon such Change of Control whereby such Covered Person shall agree to continue to work for the acquirer or its affiliate or the Company, as applicable, for a period of 3 months or such lesser period as determined by the acquirer (the “Post Change of Control Employment Period”); provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to a Covered Person unless: (a) the acquiror desires to engage such Covered Persons to continue to work for the acquirer (or its affiliate or the Company); (b) the agreement between such Covered Person and the acquiror requires the acquiror to pay such Covered Person a monthly salary equivalent to the per month amount of such Covered Person’s 2020 Plan Annual Base Salary for each month during the Post Change of Control Employment Period; and (c) the agreement between such Covered Person and the acquiror requires the acquiror to pay such Covered Person a bonus payment equivalent to three (3) months of the Retention Bonus due to such Covered Person under this 2020 Plan upon a Change of Control, which payment shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days after the end of the Post Change of Control Employment Period as long as the Covered Person continued to work for the acquirer, its affiliate or the Company until the last day of the Post Change of Control Employment Period or the acquirer, its affiliate or the Company terminates such agreement with such Covered Person prior to such date.

Service Agreements

Upon a Change of Control of the Corporation, in accordance with terms of this 2020 Plan, the Chief Executive Officer shall grant additional bonuses in an aggregate amount equal to 1% of the total consideration paid by the acquirer in such Change of Control to the Corporation or the equity holders of the Corporation (subject to all applicable withholding for income, employment and other withholding tax purposes) to be divided up, in the Chief Executive Officer’s sole discretion, between those employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries other than the Covered Persons whom the Chief Executive Officer determines in his sole discretion shall be granted cash bonuses to compensation such persons for services performed prior to the Change of Control.

One-hundred percent (100%) of the additional bonuses as described above shall be paid in lump-sum payments to the employees receiving additional bonuses, on the date of the Closing.

Notwithstanding the preceding, if any payment, benefit or distribution of any type to or for the benefit of any employee (other than the Covered Persons), whether paid or payable, provided or to be provided, or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this 2020 Plan or otherwise (collectively, the “Transaction Payments”) could subject the employee to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 (the “Excise Tax”) or may not be deductible as a result of Section 280G, then the Corporation shall cause to be determined, before any amounts of the Transaction Payment are paid to the person, which of the following two alternative forms of payment would result in the employee’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the Transaction Payment notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Transaction Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax: (1) payment in full of the entire amount of the Transaction Payment (a “Full Payment”), or (2) payment of only a part of the Transaction Payment so that the employee receives the largest payment possible without the imposition of the Excise Tax (a “Reduced Payment”). For purposes of determining whether to make a Full Payment or a Reduced Payment, the Corporation shall cause to be taken into account the value of all applicable federal, state and local income and employment taxes and the Excise Tax (all the Transaction Payments shall be reduced so that the maximum amount of the Transaction Payments (after reduction) with respect to any such employee shall be one dollar ($1.00) less than the amount which would cause the Transaction Payments to be subject to the Excise Tax or would cause the Transaction Payments to not be deductible. If a Reduced Payment is made, (x) the employee shall have no rights to any additional payments and/or benefits constituting the Transaction Payment, and (y) reduction in payments and/or benefits shall occur in the manner (the “Reduction Method”) that results in the greatest economic benefit to the employee.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Reduction Method would result in any portion of the Transaction Payment being subject to taxes pursuant to Section 409A that would not otherwise be subject to taxes pursuant to Section 409A, then the Reduction Method will be modified so as to avoid the imposition of taxes pursuant to Section 409A as follows: (A) as a first priority, the modification will preserve to the greatest extent possible, the greatest economic benefit for the employee as determined on an after-tax basis; (B) as a second priority, any amounts of the Transaction Payment that are contingent on future events (e.g., being terminated without Cause), will be reduced (or eliminated) before any amounts of the Transaction Payment that are not contingent on future events; and (C) as a third priority, any amounts of the Transaction Payment that are “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A will be reduced (or eliminated) before any amounts of the Transaction Payment that are not deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A.
