INVESTOR RELATIONS CONSULTING AGREEMENT

 

This AMENDMENT TO INVESTOR RELATIONS CONSULTING AGREEMENT (the “Amendment”) is entered as of August 1, 2012 by and between Prospect Global Resources Inc. (the “Company”) and COR Advisors LLC (the “IR Consultant”) to amend the Investor Relations Consulting Agreement originally entered between the same parties as of July 5, 2011 and Amendment #1 to the Investor Relations Consulting Agreement (“Amendment #1”) entered between the same parties as of May 9, 2012 (collectively, the “Agreement” and together with this Amendment #2 the “Amended Agreement”).

2. Additional Services.  IR Consultant shall invest in dedicated resources to support the Company, including the assignment of a senior investor relations officer and a senior strategic resource.  IR Advisor shall provide dedicated investor relations services, conduct market analyses, and engage in special projects on a quarterly basis designed to support the Company’s then-existing strategic initiatives such as investor surveys, leading negotiations with investment bankers, and creating investor presentations.

 

3. Renewal.  The execution of this Amendment shall serve as the irrevocable agreement of the Company and IR Consultant to extend the term of the Agreement for the period through July 4, 2015.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, should the Board of Directors of the Company determine that IR Consultant has experienced a Material Adverse Change (“MAC”) that has resulted in IR Consultant being unable to adequately meet Company’s IR needs, the Company shall notify IR Consultant of the alleged MAC and provide IR Consultant ninety (90) days to cure the identified deficiency.  Should IR Consultant be unable or unwilling to cure the deficiency, the Company may terminate this Agreement.  In the event of a termination under this provision, the IR Consultant shall receive a termination fee equal to all remaining payments due as if the contract were terminated on July 4, 2014.
