Dear Ray:

 

This letter sets forth an amendment to the letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) between you and Psychemedics Corporation (the “Company”) dated February 20, 2018. For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Letter Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

 

1.The first sentence of paragraph 1 of the Letter Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is hereby inserted in lieu thereof:
   
  “If at any time after the effective date hereof and prior to February 20, 2023, your employment is terminated by the Company without Cause, or you voluntarily terminate your employment for Good Reason, in either case at the time of, or within twelve (12) months following, a Change of Control of the Company, then you will continue to be paid monthly an amount (“Termination Pay”) equal to the greater of: (a) your Average Monthly Total Compensation for the twelve full months preceding the date of such termination, or (b) your Average Monthly Total Compensation for the twelve full months preceding August 1, 2020, whichever is greater, for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of such termination, provided that in the case of your voluntary termination of your employment solely on account of the “Good Reason” factor described in clause (iv) of paragraph 14(e) below, then such Termination Pay shall be for a period of six (6) months from the date of termination.”
