On November 4, 2016, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Richard Christopher that provides for Mr. Christopher’s employment as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer for a term commencing on December 5, 2016 and expiring on December 31, 2019, subject to one-year renewals after the expiration of the term unless terminated by the Company or the Executive upon 90 days prior written notice, at an annual base salary of $285,000. The agreement also provides for Mr. Christopher to be eligible to receive during each employment year during the term of the Agreement an annual target incentive bonus (the “Incentive Bonus”) in each calendar year of an amount equal to 40% of his base salary then in effect (prorated for any partial year employment) if the Company achieves goals and objectives established by the Board.

Mr. Christopher is also entitled to customary benefits, including participation in employee benefit plans, and reasonable travel and entertainment expenses as well as a monthly automobile allowance of $1,800. The employment agreement provides that if his employment is terminated by the Company without “cause” or by Mr. Christopher for “good reason” (as all such terms are defined in the employment agreement), Mr. Christopher will receive an amount equal his base salary then in effect for eighteen months from the date of termination plus the pro rata portion of the Incentive Bonus, if any, earned in the employment year through the date of his termination as determined at the discretion of the Board. In addition, in such event any earned but unvested stock options and other equity awards granted by the Company will immediately vest and become exercisable. In the event that within six months of a “change in control”, either (i) Mr. Christopher is terminated by the Company without “cause” or (ii) he terminates the agreement for “good reason” (as all such terms are defined in the employment agreement), he will be entitled to receive his base salary then in effect for eighteen months from the date of termination plus any Incentive Bonus which otherwise would have been payable to him for any employment year in which the date of his termination occurred.

Pursuant to the employment agreement and as an inducement to his joining the Company, the Company agreed to grant to Mr. Christopher on the effective date of his employment with the Company (i) 50,000 time based restricted stock units which will vest ratably over a three-year period with one third vesting on each of the first, second and third year anniversary of the date of grant and (ii) performance based restricted stock units with a target award of 50,000 shares subject to the achievement by the Company of certain performance goals which will vest ratably over a three-year period with one third vesting on the initial date of determination that such shares were earned and one third vesting on each of the first and second year anniversary of the date earned.
