1.            On February 24, 2015, the Company entered into a change in control severance agreement with James V. Dyke, Corporate Vice President – Sales and Marketing of the Corporation. The agreement is for a five year term commencing on February 24, 2015. It provides that if, during the five-year term, the Company terminates Mr. Dyke’s employment for any reason other than for Cause (as defined in the agreement), death or disability (as defined in the agreement), or if Mr. Dyke terminates his employment for Good Reason (as defined below), in either case, within twelve months following a Change in Control (as defined in the agreement), he will be entitled to receive Termination Pay (as defined below) for a period of twelve months from the date of such termination. Termination Pay includes average monthly base salary, cash bonus and commission compensation paid during the twelve month period preceding such termination, provided that for purposes of the agreement, the aggregate amount of commission and bonus compensation taken into account is limited to 25% of base salary. Good Reason includes a reduction in Mr. Dyke’s base salary then in effect, or a material decrease in his duties or responsibilities. The agreement also prohibits Mr. Dyke from working for a competitor of the Company or from soliciting employees of the Company during the period he is eligible to receive Termination Pay under the agreement. Mr. Dyke’s agreement was in replacement of his agreement executed in 2010, which had a five-year term and was due to expire in April, 2015.
