Position and Responsibilities. The Company hereby agrees to employ Executive pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. As of the Effective Date, Executive’s title shall be Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), and Executive shall have the duties and responsibilities assigned from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors in consultation with the National American University’s Board of Governors. Executive agrees to perform, on a full-time basis, all duties assigned to Executive. The Company’s Board of Directors in consultation with the National American University’s Board of Governors reserves the right to modify Executive’s position and duties at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, except that any material diminution in Executive’s duties, such that he is no longer the CEO of the Company, shall be subject to Sections 5.5 and 5.6 below.

Undertakings of Executive. During Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive agrees to spend Executive’s full working time and effort in performance of Executive’s duties with the Company and will abide by all policies and decisions made by the Company, as well as all applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations or ordinances. Executive will act in the best interest of the Company at all times. Executive will not, during employment by the Company, without prior written approval of the Company’s Board of Directors or National American University’s Board of Governors, engage in, become an employee, director, officer, agent, partner of or consultant to, or a stockholder of (except a stockholder of a public company in which Executive owns less than two percent (2%) of the issued and outstanding capital stock of such company) or render services to any company or other business entity that is a competitor or significant supplier or customer of the Company, or engage in any other activities that would interfere with the performance of Executive’s duties as an employee of the Company or would create an actual or perceived conflict of interest with respect to Executive’s obligations as an employee of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may serve on civil or charitable boards or committees, provided that such service does not require a material time commitment by the Executive and that such entities are not competitive with the Company.

Work Location. Executive’s principal place of work shall be located in Rapid City, South Dakota, or such other location as the Company may direct from time to time.

Term of Employment.

Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date and continue for a period of two (2) years following such date (the “Term”), unless earlier terminated by either party as provided for in Section 5 below. Unless Executive’s employment is terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of Section 5 below, this Agreement shall automatically renew following the Term for successive terms of one year (each, a “Renewal Term”) unless the Company or Executive provides the other party with at least sixty (60) days advance written notice prior to the expiration of the current Term or Renewal Term, as the case may be, that this Agreement will not be renewed. If this Agreement automatically renews pursuant to this Section 2.1, the parties acknowledge that the term set forth in South Dakota Codified Laws § 60-2-6 shall likewise start anew. If either party provides notice of non-renewal, the Company may elect either (a) to have Executive continue performing work for the Company through the remainder of the current Term or Renewal Term, as the case may be; or (b) to release Executive effective immediately, in which case the Company shall pay Executive’s Base Salary and provide Executive’s benefits under Section 4.1 below for the remainder of the current Term or Renewal Term, as the case may be.

Payment on Non-Renewal. If Executive’s employment terminates at the end of the Term or a Renewal Term as a result of the Company’s non-renewal of this Agreement in accordance with Section 2.1 above, Executive shall be entitled to the severance benefits provided in Section 5.6 below. If Executive’s employment terminates at the end of the Term or a Renewal Term as a result of Executive’s non-renewal of this Agreement in accordance with Section 2.1 above, Executive will be entitled to receive the remaining installments due under Section 3.2 below, if any, for any bonus earned for a Company fiscal year prior to the fiscal year that in which the notice of non-renewal is given and for any bonus earned for the Company fiscal year in which the notice of non-renewal is given, but will not otherwise be entitled to receive the additional severance described in Section 5.6 below. In the event of non-renewal of this Agreement, and except as expressly provided in this Section 2.2, the Company shall be relieved of all other obligations and liabilities to Executive under this Agreement.

Compensation.

Base Salary. Executive’s annual base salary shall be Three Hundred Eighty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($380,000) (“Base Salary”), which salary shall be earned by Executive on a pro rata basis as Executive performs services for the Company and which salary shall be paid in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices. Executive’s compensation is subject to review and change from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors in its sole discretion after consultation with National American University’s Board of Governors.

Bonus and Incentive Compensation. While employed by the Company as an executive, Executive will be eligible to participate in any bonus and incentive compensation plans or programs that the Company may adopt for executives, as such plans or programs may be modified or terminated from time to time by, and at the discretion of, the Company’s Board of Directors after consultation with National American University’s Board of Governors. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company is under no obligation to Executive to establish and maintain any bonus and incentive compensation plans or programs and that any such plans or programs are within the exclusive province of the Company’s Board of Directors, subject to applicable law. Except as expressly modified in this Agreement, the terms of any such bonus or incentive compensation plans or programs will govern any bonus or incentive compensation, and any bonus or incentive compensation plan or program for Executive will be set forth in a separate written agreement signed by both Executive and the Company.

Stock Based Compensation. While employed by the Company as an executive, Executive will be eligible to participate in any stock ownership or stock option plans or programs that the Company may adopt for executives, as such plans or programs may be modified or terminated from time to time, by and at the discretion of, the Company’s Board of Directors, after consultation with National American University’s Board of Governors. Executive acknowledges and agrees, however, that the Company is under no obligation to Executive to establish and maintain any stock option program and that any such program is within the exclusive province of the Company’s Board of Directors, subject to applicable law. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the terms of any such stock ownership or stock option plans or programs will govern any such stock based compensation.

Benefits and Reimbursement.

Employee Benefits Generally. During Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive shall be entitled to participate in all retirement plans, health plans, and other employee benefits and policies made available by the Company to its employees generally as they may be changed from time to time. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company is under no obligation to Executive to establish and maintain any employee benefit plan in which Executive may participate and that the terms and provisions of any employee benefit plan of the Company are matters within the exclusive province of the Company’s Board of Directors, subject to applicable law. Upon the termination of Executive’s employment, Executive shall be entitled to continue those benefits to the extent required by state or federal law.

Executive Benefits. Executive will also be eligible for all customary and usual fringe benefits generally available to executives of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s benefit plan documents. The Company reserves the right to change or eliminate fringe benefits on a prospective basis, at any time, upon notice to the Executive.

Vacation. The Company agrees that Executive shall be entitled to vacation time of up to five (5) weeks per year without reduction of the minimum Base Salary payable to Executive pursuant to Section 3.1 above. Earned vacation time must be used as set forth in the Company’s policies, unless extended to a later period with the written approval of the Company’s Board of Directors, after consultation with National American University’s Board of Governors.

Reimbursement of Expenses. The Company shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable and necessary business and traveling expenses incurred by Executive for or on behalf of the Company in connection with the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder, in accordance with the policies and practices of the Company in effect from time to time; provided that such expenses shall only be reimbursed upon presentation by Executive to the Company of appropriate documentation therefore.

Termination. Executive’s employment may be terminated during the Term or any Renewal Term as follows:

By Company With Cause. The Company may immediately terminate Executive’s employment under this Agreement for Cause (as defined below) during the Term or any Renewal Term by providing written notice of such termination to Executive. In the event that Executive’s employment is terminated for Cause under this Section 5.1, Executive shall be entitled to receive only Executive’s Base Salary then in effect, prorated to the date of termination, and all fringe benefits through the date of termination. As of the effective date of such termination of Executive’s employment by the Company, the Company shall be relieved of all other obligations and liabilities to Executive under this Agreement, including any obligation to pay any bonus or incentive compensation under Section 3.2 above (whether earned for a Company fiscal year prior to the fiscal year that includes the Executive’s date of termination or for the Company fiscal year that includes the year of termination) or the severance benefits provided in Section 5.6 below.

In the event that the Company terminates Executive’s employment without Cause as set forth in Section 5.2 below, but the Company subsequently determines that the Company had the right to terminate the Executive’s employment for Cause pursuant to this Section 5.1, the Company may terminate the payment of all amounts to the Executive pursuant to Section 5.6, and Executive shall return all previous payments made to Executive pursuant to Section 5.6, other than the prorated Base Salary.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, after consultation with National American University’s Board of Governors:

Executive’s failure to materially perform Executive’s duties to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company, provided that such failure is not cured by Executive, or is not capable of being cured by Executive, within thirty (30) days after the Company delivers written notice of such failure to Executive; or

conduct by Executive which is (or will be if continued) demonstrably injurious to the Company, monetarily or otherwise; or

fraud, misappropriation, or embezzlement by the Executive; or

Executive’s conviction of a felony crime, gross misdemeanor, or a crime of moral turpitude; or

Executive’s material breach of this Agreement or the Company’s policies, provided that such breach is not cured by Executive, or is not capable of being cured by Executive, within thirty (30) days after the Company delivers written notice of such breach to Executive.

By Company Without Cause. Executive’s employment under this Agreement may be terminated by the Company effective immediately without Cause. In the event that Executive is terminated by the Company without Cause, Executive shall be entitled to the severance benefits provided in Section 5.6 below.

Death. Should Executive die during the Term or any Renewal Term of this Agreement, this Agreement shall immediately terminate, but the Company shall pay to Executive’s estate the Base Salary that would otherwise be payable to Executive to the end of the month in which death occurs. Executive’s estate will continue to receive the remaining installments due under Section 3.2 above, if any, for any bonus or incentive compensation earned for a Company fiscal year prior to the fiscal year that includes the Executive’s date of death. As of the effective date of such termination of Executive’s employment by the Company, the Company shall be relieved of all other obligations and liabilities to Executive or Executive’s estate under this Agreement, including any obligation to pay any bonus or incentive compensation under Section 3.2 above for the year of termination or for the severance benefits provided in Section 5.6 below.

Disability. Should Executive be unable to perform Executive’s duties under this Agreement due to sickness or disability, after being provided with any reasonable accommodation the Company may be obligated by law to provide, the Company may, during the Term or any Renewal Term, immediately terminate Executive’s Employment by providing written notice of such termination to Executive. Executive will continue to receive the remaining installments due under Section 3.2, if any, for any bonus or incentive compensation earned for a Company fiscal year prior to the fiscal year that includes the Executive’s date of termination. As of the effective date of such termination of Executive’s employment by the Company, the Company shall be relieved of all other obligations and liabilities to Executive under this Agreement, including any obligation to pay any bonus or incentive compensation under Section 3.2 above for the year of termination or the severance benefits provided in Section 5.6 below.

By Executive With Good Reason. During the Term or any Renewal Term, Executive may terminate Executive’s employment at any time with Good Reason (as defined below), provided that Executive has provided the Company at least thirty (30) days advance written notice stating the specific reason for such resignation and provided that such reason has not been cured by the Company within such notice period. In the event that Executive terminates employment with Good Reason, Executive shall be entitled to the severance benefits provided in Section 5.6 below.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events without the Executive’s prior written consent: (a) a material diminution in Executive’s title or duties such that he is not CEO; (b) a failure by the Company to provide Executive any material payments or benefits owed to Executive; (c) a material diminution of Executive’s compensation or benefits, other than as part of a salary reduction program among similar executive employees; or (d) relocation of the Company’s offices to a place more than fifty (50) miles away from the Company’s headquarters. Executive will be deemed to have given consent to any event described in this Section 5.5 if Executive does not provide written notice to the Company of Executive’s intent to exercise Executive’s rights pursuant to this Section 5.5 within thirty (30) days following the first occurrence of such event.

Severance Pay Upon Termination Without Cause Or With Good Reason. In the event that Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by Executive with Good Reason during the Term or any Renewal Term, or if the Company exercises its right not to renew the Agreement under Section 2, the Company shall pay Executive the following:

Executive’s Base Salary then in effect, prorated to the date of termination;

The remaining installments due under Section 3.2, if any, for any bonus earned for a Company fiscal year prior to the fiscal year that includes the Executive’s date of termination;

Severance pay in a gross amount, before applicable withholdings, equal to (i) the greater (A) the remainder of the current Term or (B) fifteen (15) months of Executive’s annualized Base Salary at the time of such termination, less the amount of any debt then owed by Executive to the Company, whether or not such debt is then due or payable (the “Severance Payment”), plus (ii) a pro rata portion of any bonus or incentive compensation payable under Section 3.2 above that Executive would have earned had Executive been employed for the full fiscal year in which Executive’s employment terminates; provided that in no event will Executive be eligible to earn a pro rata annual bonus if Executive and the Company’s annual performance metrics for that year were not achieved; such pro rata annual bonus, if any, will be earned and calculated based on the number of full months worked by Executive during that fiscal year (the “Severance Bonus”); and

COBRA and state continuation premiums for monthly health and dental insurance premiums for Executive and Executive’s dependents to continue the coverage in effect at termination under the Company’s group insurance plans subject to these plans’ eligibility requirements for a period of twelve (12) months (the “Premium Payment Period”). The Premium Payment Period shall run concurrently with the first twelve (12) months of Executive’s COBRA and state benefits continuation period. Executive acknowledges that in order for the Company to make the payments described in this Section 5.6(d), Executive must execute all documentation necessary to elect insurance continuation coverage.

The Company shall pay Executive the Severance Payment in a lump sum, less all required or authorized tax or other withholdings, ninety (90) days after the Executive’s separation from service. The Company shall pay Executive the Severance Bonus in a lump sum, less all required or authorized tax or other withholdings, ninety (90) days after the end of the Company’s fiscal year in which the Executive’s separation from service occurs. For purposes of the foregoing, the Company’s fiscal year shall be deemed to be June 1 through May 31. For purposes of this provision, separation from service shall mean “separation from service” as defined in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(h).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall only be entitled to receive the Severance Payment and Severance Bonus if Executive signs and does not rescind a Severance Agreement (the “Severance Agreement”) at the time of termination in a form prepared by and acceptable to the Company that includes adequate provisions for at least the following: (i) Executive’s general release of any and all legal claims that could be asserted or that arise out of or relate to his employment with the Company, or his separation from the Company, whether or not any such claim is known to him at the time he signs the release; (ii) Executive’s return of all of the Company’s property in Executive’s possession; (iii) nondisparagement of the Company, any affiliated entities, and their employees and representatives; (iv) confidentiality of terms; (v) acknowledgement of Executive’s continuing contractual obligations to the Company, including Executive’s continuing noncompetition, confidentiality, and invention obligations under Sections 6, 7, 8, and 9 of this Agreement; and (vi) Executive’s forfeiture of and repayment to Company of 75% of the Severance Payment and Severance Bonus upon any breach by Executive of the Severance Agreement or his noncompetition, confidentiality, and invention obligations under Sections 6, 7, 8, and 9 of this Agreement.

Resignation of Board or Other Positions. Executive agrees that should Executive’s employment terminate for any reason, Executive will be deemed to have immediately resigned all other positions (including board membership) that Executive may hold on behalf of the Company.

When a Payment is Considered Made. Except as otherwise required by Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, an amount will be considered to be paid to Executive as of the date specified for payment in Section 3.2 above or this Section 5 if the amount is paid to the Executive after the date as long as it is paid in the same calendar year as the date or, if later, by the 15^th day of the third calendar month following the date and the Executive is not permitted to designate, directly or indirectly, the taxable year of payment.

Confidential Information. For purposes hereof, “Confidential Information” shall mean any information about or related to the Company or any affiliated entity (including, but not limited to, National American University Holdings, Inc. and National American University) (hereinafter, collectively referred to as the “Affiliates”) or any of their employees, contractors, directors, representatives, suppliers, vendors, members, customers, students, or other third parties or entities with whom the Company or the Affiliates do business which Executive learns or develops during the time Executive is employed with the Company that derives independent economic value from being not generally known or readily ascertainable by other persons who could obtain economic value from its disclosure or use, including, but not limited to, trade secrets, Inventions as defined in Section 8 below, financial information, personnel information, and information relating to such matters as existing or contemplated products, services, insurance arrangements, profit margins, fee schedules, pricing, design, processes, formulae, business plans, sales techniques, marketing techniques, training manuals and materials, policies or practices related to business, personnel or other matters, computer databases, computer programs, software and other technology, customer lists, member lists, student lists, and preferences or requirements, vendor lists, or supply information. Any information disclosed to Executive or to which Executive has access during the time of Executive’s employment that Executive reasonably considers to be Confidential Information, or which the Company or any of the Affiliates treat as Confidential Information, will be presumed Confidential Information.

Executive agrees not to directly or indirectly use or disclose any Confidential Information for the benefit of anyone other than the Company either during the course of employment or after the termination of employment, regardless of the reason for such termination. Executive recognizes that the Confidential Information constitutes a valuable asset of the Company and hereby agrees to act in such a manner as to prevent its disclosure and use by any person unless such use is for the benefit of the Company. Executive’s obligations under this Section are unconditional and shall not be excused by any conduct on the part of the Company, except prior voluntary disclosure by the Company of the information.

Return of Confidential Information and Company’s Property. When Executive’s employment terminates with Company, regardless of the reason for such termination, Executive will promptly turn over to Company in good condition all property of the Company or the Affiliates in Executive’s possession or control, including, but not limited to, all originals, copies of, or electronically stored documents or other materials containing Confidential Information, regardless of who prepared them. In the case of electronically stored information retained by Executive outside of Company’s electronic systems, Executive will promptly make a hard copy of such information in paper, audio recording, disc format, or other format as appropriate, turn that hard copy over to Company, and then destroy Executive’s electronically stored information. Further, Executive agrees to execute written confirmation that all Confidential Information in the Executive’s possession, or to which the Executive has access, has been turned over to Company or destroyed.

Inventions. Executive agrees to promptly disclose to the Company in writing any invention, improvement, work of authorship, discovery, or idea (whether patentable or not and including those which may be subject to copyright protection) generated, conceived, or reduced to practice by the Executive, alone or in conjunction with others, during or after working hours, while an employee of the Company (“Inventions”); and all such Inventions shall be the exclusive property of the Company and are hereby assigned to the Company, except if the Invention does not relate to the existing or reasonably foreseeable business interests of the Company, the Company may, in its sole discretion, release or license that Invention to the Executive upon written request.

Further, Executive will, at the Company’s expense, give the Company all assistance it reasonably requires to perfect, protect, and use its rights to Inventions. In particular, but without limitation, Executive will sign all documents, do all things, and supply all information that the Company may deem necessary or desirable to:

Transfer or record the transfer of Executive’s entire right, title, and interest in Inventions; and

Enable the Company to obtain patent, copyright, or trademark protection for Inventions anywhere in the world.

The obligations of Executive under this Section shall continue beyond the termination of employment with respect to Inventions conceived or made by Executive during the period of Executive’s employment and shall be binding upon assigns, executors, administrators, and other legal representatives. For purposes of this Agreement, any Invention relating to the business of the Company on which Executive markets a new competitive product, files a patent application, or seeks copyright protection within one (1) year after termination of employment with the Company shall be presumed to be an Invention conceived by Executive during the term of Executive’s employment, subject to proof to the contrary by good faith, written and duly corroborated records establishing that such Invention was conceived and made following termination of employment.

Non-Competition.

Acknowledgement. Executive acknowledges that (a) Executive’s services to be performed for Company are of a special and unique nature; (b) the Company operates in a highly competitive environment and would be substantially harmed if Executive were to compete with Company or divulge its confidential information; (c) the Company’s business, a substantial portion of which is conducted on-line, is international in scope and the Company, in the course of such business, recruits students and faculty throughout the United States and from around the world; (d) Executive has received valuable and sufficient consideration for entering into this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the Company’s offer of employment to Executive under this Agreement, the payments and benefits associated with that employment, and receipt of the Company’s Confidential Information; and (e) the provisions of this Section 9, including all of its subparts, are reasonable and necessary to protect the Company’s business.

Covenant Not to Compete. Executive agrees that during Executive’s employment with the Company and for an additional period of fifteen (15) months following Executive’s termination of employment with the Company, regardless of the reason for such termination (the “Noncompete Period”), Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, anywhere within the United States of America (a) own (except as a stockholder of a public company in which Executive owns less than two percent (2%) of the issued and outstanding capital stock of such company), manage, control, participate in, consult with, render services for, be employed by, or in any manner engage in the operation of (i) a for-profit, post-secondary education institution, or (ii) any other business that competes with the business activities of the Company in which Executive had significant involvement prior to termination of Executive’s employment; (b) solicit funds on behalf of, or for the benefit of, any for-profit, post-secondary education institution (other than the Company) or any other entity that competes with the Company; (c) solicit individuals who are current or prospective students of the Company to be students for any other for-profit, post-secondary education institution; (d) induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Company to leave the employ of the Company or in any way interfere with the relationship between the Company and any employee thereof; or (e) induce or attempt to induce any student, customer, supplier, licensee, or other business relation of the Company to cease doing business with, or modify its business relationship with, the Company or in any way interfere with or hinder the relationship between any such student, customer, supplier, licensee, or business relation and the Company.

Disclosure of Obligations. During the Noncompete Period, Executive will, prior to accepting employment or any other business relationship with any other person or entity, inform that person or entity of Executive’s obligations under Sections 7 to 9 of this Agreement.

Extension of Noncompete Period. If the Company obtains a court order or judgment finding that Executive has violated any portion of this Section 9, Executive agrees that the Noncompete Period will be extended for a period of time equal to the period of time during which Executive was found to be in breach of this Section 9, plus an additional six (6) months thereafter.

Insurance. During Executive’s employment with the Company, and thereafter with respect to occurrences during his employment, Executive will be covered by the Company’s director and officer insurance policy to the same extent as all other senior executive officers of the Company.

No Violation of Rights of Third Parties. Executive represents and warrants to the Company that Executive is not currently a party, and will not become a party, to any other agreement that is in conflict with, or will prevent Executive from complying with, this Agreement. Executive further represents and warrants to the Company that Executive’s performance of all of the terms of this Agreement as an employee of the Company does not and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence any proprietary information, knowledge, or data acquired by Executive in confidence or trust prior to Executive’s employment with the Company. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the representations and warranties in this Section 11 are a material part of this Agreement.
