On February 23, 2018, we entered into a First Amendment to Employment Agreement with Lynn H. Johnson, who currently serves as our Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. The amendment amends certain provisions of the Employment Agreement dated October 3, 2014, that we previously entered into with Ms. Johnson. The amendment effects the following changes to the terms of Ms. Johnson’s employment:
| · | The contractual salary to which Ms. Johnson is entitled has been increased to $220,550 per year; |
| · | The lump-sum cash payment to which she would be entitled if her employment were terminated under certain circumstances within 12 months following a change in control (as defined in her employment agreement) has been increased from 200% to 299% of her “base amount” (as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended); and |
| · | The official title listed in her employment agreement has been changed to Chief Operating Officer, in recognition of her change in officer role that we previously reported in a current report on Form 8-K filed on July 7, 2017. |
The foregoing summary of the amendment to her employment agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the amendment that is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this current report and incorporated herein by reference.
