Employment Agreement with Mr. Bushey

 

On June 3, 2020, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Bushey to serve as President of the Company. Pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. Bushey will be paid an annual salary of $200,000 and will be eligible to participate in the benefits plans established for Company employees. Also, on June 3, 2020, Mr. Bushey was granted restricted stock units for 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Company’s 2018 Incentive Stock Plan, which shares will vest quarterly in equal amounts over a period of two years from the date of grant (with 375,000 shares vesting on the last day of each calendar quarter beginning on June 30, 2020), and which shares will not be issued and delivered to Mr. Bushey until June 3, 2022, at the request of Mr. Bushey.

 

Pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. Bushey will be an at will employee of the Company. If (i) Mr. Bushey is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined in the employment agreement), (ii) Mr. Bushey terminates his employment due to Constructive Termination (as defined in the employment agreement), or (iii) Mr. Bushey’s employment terminates as a result of his disability, the Company will provide Mr. Bushey the following compensation: (a) benefits accrued and vested through the date of termination pursuant to the Company’s plan benefits and (b) continued base salary and plan benefits on a monthly basis for a period of twelve (12) months following the date of termination. If terminated without cause, the Company will accelerate the vesting of all unvested restricted stock units. The payment of the severance payments described above are conditioned on Mr. Bushey’s continued compliance with the terms of the employment agreement and Mr. Bushey executing, delivering to the Company and not revoking a general release and non-disparagement agreement. The employment agreement contains standard non-compete and non-solicitation provisions.
