Amendment and Restatement of Employment Agreement with Catherine A. Rector
On July 22, 2013, we entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement with our Chief Accounting Officer, Catherine A. Rector. The Amended and Restated Employment Agreement provides for an initial term of employment until September 30, 2013 where the previous employment agreement was an at-will agreement. Under the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, we may terminate the Agreement for Cause (as defined therein), death or disability, or without cause upon two weeks' notice. Our ability to effect, and certain payments upon, a termination following a Change In Control remains unchanged from the original agreement.
Ms. Rector will continue to receive an annual salary of $150,000, which is unchanged by the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement. The Amended and Restated Employment Agreement contains an end-of-term bonus of $50,000 which shall be payable so long as Ms. Rector does not voluntarily terminate her employment prior to September 30, 2013 and is not terminated for Cause before that date. It provides for certain make-whole payments related to Ms. Rector's in-the-money stock options in addition to the end-of-term bonus if the Company terminates Ms. Rector's employment prior to September 30, 2013 without Cause. Should her employment be terminated after September 30, 2013, a severance payment equal to the make-whole payment related to Ms. Rector's in-the-money stock options would be paid. None of these payments would be made if Ms. Rector was terminated for Cause. In addition, the Amended and Restated Agreement provides for a flexible work schedule.
The foregoing description of the terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement with Catherine A. Rector is qualified in its entirety by reference to that agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
