EMPLOYMENT STATUS:

“At Will” Employment; Nothing herein shall be construed to alter your status as an “At-Will” employee except in writing by the CEO.

 

 

 

TERMINATION PAYMENTS:

Notwithstanding the “At Will” nature of your employment, if the Company terminates your employment without “Cause” (other than as a result of your death or disability), or if you resign your employment for “Good Reason”, then the Company shall pay you any base salary and accrued and unused vacation benefits earned through the date of termination, at the rate in effect at the time of termination, less standard deductions and withholdings. In addition, if you furnish to the Company an executed waiver and release of claims in a reasonable form to be provided by the Company (the “Release”) within the time period specified therein, but in no event later than forty-five (45) days following the date the Company provides you such Release, and you allow such Release to become effective in accordance with its terms, then you shall be entitled to: (1) severance in the form of continuation of your annual base salary (at the annual base salary rate in effect at the time of termination) for a period of twelve (12) months following the termination date; (2) an additional severance payment equal to 30% (thirty percent) of your base salary for the year in which the qualifying termination or resignation is effective (pro-rated for the number of days Executive was employed by the Company in such year); and (3) accelerated vesting of any unvested shares subject to any outstanding stock options and/or other equity awards, such that, on the effective date of the Release, you shall be vested in one hundred percent (100%) of the shares subject to such options and/or awards. The foregoing severance payments will be subject to standard payroll deductions and withholdings and will be made on the Company’s regular payroll cycle, provided, however, that any payments otherwise scheduled to be made prior to the effective date of the Release shall accrue and be paid in a lump sum on the first payroll period that follows such effective date. The terms “Cause” and “Good Reason” used above shall have the same meaning ascribed to such terms in the Employment Agreement dated April 18, 2013 by and between Darryl S. Baker and the Company. In addition, you and the Company agree that the substance and intent of sections 7.4 (Section 409A) and 7.5 (Section 280G) of the aforementioned employment agreement shall apply to this Offer Statement.
