Dear Alonso:
Re: Offer of Continued Employment with DynaResource, Inc. (“DynaResource” or the “Company”)
On behalf of DynaResource, it is my pleasure to extend you a conditional offer of continued employment as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. This offer of continued employment (the “Agreement”) will come into force effective as of November 20, 2025. Your original start date of July 22, 2024 will be recognized for all employment purposes. In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements below, a signing bonus of C$1,000 less applicable deductions and withholdings, and for other good and valuable consideration (the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged) the parties have agreed as set out in this Agreement.
Position and Duties
You will continue to be employed in the position of Chief Financial Officer of the Company, reporting to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. You shall perform such duties and responsibilities associated with this position, including but not limited to those duties and responsibilities, power and authority normally associated with the Chief Financial Officer position, as well as those duties that may be reasonably assigned to you from time to time, including those duties, responsibilities, power, and authority described in the job description attached hereto as Schedule A. You agree to perform the duties and responsibilities for the Company consistent with this Agreement. You agree that DynaResource can make reasonable changes to your duties from time to time to meet our organizational objectives. In the event of any such changes (including promotions), this Agreement will continue to apply to your employment, unless varied or replaced by a further agreement in writing.
Hours of Work
You understand and agree that your hours of work will vary from day to day and week to week. Without limiting the foregoing, the number of days and hours worked will vary based on the Company’s business needs.
You shall devote your full business time, attention, best efforts, business judgment skill and knowledge exclusively for the advancement of the business and interests of the Company and discharge of your duties and responsibilities under this Agreement. Provided however that you may manage personal investments, serve on the boards of civic and charitable entities, and, with the prior written consent of the Board of Directors of the Company, serve on the boards of other for-profit entities so long as such activities do not, individually or in the aggregate, interfere or conflict with your duties and responsibilities to the Company.
Place of Employment
Your primary place of work will be at your home office, located in Ontario, Canada. In the future, should the Company establish a physical office in the Greater Toronto Area, the Employee may be required to attend in-person at such location. Any change to the Employee’s work location shall be subject to mutual agreement between the Employee and the Company at that time.
You will be required to travel for business as may be reasonably required by the Company for the purposes of carrying out your duties and responsibilities, including to visit the Company’s site in Mexico. Accordingly,
it is a term and condition of your employment that you possess and maintain an up-to-date and valid passport and remain legally able to travel internationally.
Term
Your employment shall continue indefinitely, subject to the termination provisions provided for in this Agreement.
Mandatory Training
You agree to provide DynaResource with a certificate issued by the Ontario Ministry of Labour or evidence satisfactory to the Company in its sole discretion, confirming that you have completed the Health and Safety Awareness Training for Workers and Supervisors required by the Occupational Health and Safety Act before the effective date of this Agreement. The online training can be found on the Ministry of Labour’s website at: http://www.labour.gov.on.ca/english/hs/training/.
Compensation
(a)Base Salary – You will continue to receive your base compensation of an annualized base salary of C$231,500, subject to applicable statutory deductions, withholdings and remittances and paid in accordance with the Company's regular payroll practices. The base salary is compensation for all hours worked, subject only to the minimum requirements of the ESA.
(b)Bonus – You will be eligible for a target annual bonus equal to 40% of your base salary, less required deductions and withholdings. Your annual bonus, if any, will be determined in the Company’s sole discretion and is subject at all times to the approval of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. Neither the awarding nor the amount of any bonus is guaranteed whether annually or otherwise. To receive the bonus, you must be Actively Employed on the date that the bonus becomes due and payable.
For the purposes of this Agreement, “Actively Employed” means that you must be employed by the Company and must not have resigned or retired and, in the event that your employment is terminated for any reason by the Company, including unlawful or constructive termination (termination does not include a waiver of any resignation notice period), the period while “Actively Employed” shall include only the period up to the last day you performed active service for the Company plus the remaining minimum statutory notice period (if any) required under the ESA. For clarity, if a Court were ever to award you with common law notice, notwithstanding the termination provisions of any employment agreement, that the period of any such notice award, beyond any entitlement to statutory notice, is not included in the Actively Employed or Active Employment Period. You are not entitled to any Incentive payments during any common law notice period beyond any applicable statutory notice period. You also have no entitlement to pay in lieu or damages for any lost opportunity to earn incentive payments under this Agreement through any common law notice period, except to the extent required by any minimum statutory obligations in accordance with ESA.
(c)Retention Bonus – Provided that you remain Actively Employed by the Company on the date of issuance and on the relevant vesting dates as set out below, and subject to the lifting (or non-applicability) of the Company’s Canadian Cease Trade Order (“CTO”), the Company agrees to issue you a retention bonus (the “Retention Bonus”) in a form determined at the discretion of the Board, being either (i) 225,000 restricted share units (“RSUs”), or (ii) a number of RSUs having an aggregate value of C$470,000, calculated at the time of issuance. Provided you are Actively Employed on the date that the CTO is lifted (or no longer applies to you), the RSUs will be issued promptly following the lifting of the CTO, in compliance with applicable laws, including securities laws. Subject to compliance with applicable laws and subject to the lifting (or non-applicability) of the CTO prior to July 22, 2025, the RSUs will vest in accordance with the original vesting schedule set out in the original Employment Agreement between you and the Company dated July 22, 2024: one-third (1/3) on July 22, 2025, one-third (1/3) on July 22, 2026, and one-third (1/3) on July 22,
2027. You must be Actively Employed on the date that the CTO is lifted to be issued the RSUs and you must be Actively Employed on applicable vesting dates for the RSUs to vest. You acknowledge and agree that you are not entitled to vesting of the RSUs during any common law notice period beyond any applicable statutory notice period. You also have no entitlement to pay in lieu or damages for any lost opportunity related to the issuance of the RSUs or with respect to the vesting of the RSUs under this Agreement through any common law notice period, except to the extent required by any minimum statutory obligations in accordance with the ESA.
If your employment is terminated by the Company without cause prior to the issuance of the RSUs due to the CTO remaining in effect, you will be entitled to a cash payment equal to the value of the RSUs that would have vested as of the termination date under the original vesting schedule, calculated based on the fair market value of the Company’s shares on the date of termination.
(d)Payment in Lieu of Benefits – In lieu of participation in any Company benefits program, the Company will pay you an amount equal to 10% of your base salary, less applicable deductions and withholdings. These payments will be divided into installments and paid in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll schedule. The Company reserves the right to discontinue this pay in lieu of benefits amount upon establishing a Company benefit plan and providing you with eligibility to participate in any Company provided benefit plan. DynaResource retains the right to change or terminate any benefits plans at any time permitted by the ESA.
(e)Reimbursement of Expenses – DynaResource shall reimburse you for any reasonable business-related expenses and disbursements incurred by you for and on behalf of the Company in connection with the performance of your duties for the Company, subject at all times to the Company’s policies relating to business expenses as in effect from time to time.
(f)Vacation – You will be entitled to up to five (5) weeks of vacation per year. Your vacation entitlements for the current year shall be pro-rated. Such vacation will generally be taken at such time as is most convenient, considering the demands of the business of the Company, although the Employer may require you to take unused vacation as permitted under the ESA. You are expected to use your full vacation allotment in the calendar year in which it is earned. In the event that you do not use your excess vacation in a given calendar year (i.e. that vacation amount which is in excess of your statutory vacation entitlements under the ESA), the excess vacation must be used by March 31 of the following year or it will be forfeited without any pay in lieu of same. Vacation time may be taken before it is earned only with the written approval from the Company. Under no circumstances will you receive less vacation time and pay as required by the ESA.
You agree that vacation pay will be paid by salary continuance through your statutory vacation time and for any earned annual bonus as a lump sum payment at the end of the year or with the payment of those amounts.
(g)Holidays – You will be provided with public holidays as defined by the ESA.
(h)Professional Fees – The Company shall pay all of your normal Canadian Certified Public Accountant dues and the costs of required professional learning/training certifications courses and continuing education requirements arising during your employment to maintain your Certified Public Accountant licencing.
