In addition, if Ms. Perneau’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement) (other than for death or disability) or by Ms. Perneau for Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement), Ms. Perneau will be entitled to receive payment of two years of her then-current annual base salary, payable in 24 monthly installments, an increase from one year of her then-current annual base salary, payable in 12 monthly installments under the Employment Agreement.

 

Other than the foregoing, the terms and conditions of Ms. Perneau’s current employment, as outlined in the Employment Agreement, remain unchanged.
