Employment
Agreement with John Y. Caloz
On
January 8, 2020, the Company entered into a new Employment Agreement, effective January 1, 2020, with John Y. Caloz, under which
we agree to continue to employ Mr. Caloz as our Chief Financial Officer through December 31, 2020. Under his Employment Agreement,
Mr. Caloz is entitled to a base annual salary of $400,000. Mr. Caloz also is entitled to receive an annual bonus as determined
by us in our sole discretion. In the event we terminate Mr. Caloz’s employment without “cause” or his employment
is terminated due to his “disability” (each as defined in his Employment Agreement) or death, we have agreed to (i)
pay Mr. Caloz or his heirs or representatives, as applicable, a lump-sum severance amount equal to six months’ base annual
salary (twelve months’ base annual salary if his employment is terminated without “cause” following a “change
in control” (as defined in his employment agreement)) and (ii) continue the participation, at our cost, for a period of
six months (or twelve months if his employment is terminated without “cause” following a “change in control”)
of Mr. Caloz and his dependents in our employee benefits plan in which Mr. Caloz was participating. In the event we terminate
Mr. Caloz’s employment without “cause”, all of Mr. Caloz’s vested stock options and any other vested equity
awards based on our securities will remain exercisable for their full term notwithstanding the termination of his employment.
In the event his employment is terminated due to his “disability” or death, all of Mr. Caloz’s unvested stock
options and other equity awards based on our securities will immediately vest in full and all of his stock options and any other
equity awards based on our securities will remain exercisable for their full term notwithstanding the termination of his employment.
We
also agree in Mr. Caloz’s employment agreement that if we do not offer to renew or extend the employment agreement we will
continue to pay Mr. Caloz’s annual salary thereunder during the period commencing on expiration of the employment and ending
on June 30, 2021 or the date he is employed by another employer, whichever is earlier.
The
foregoing description of material terms of the recent employment agreement with Mr. Caloz does not purport to be a complete description
of the terms and provisions therein. The full text of such agreement will be filed as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ending December 31, 2019.
