On October 11, 2019, the Company entered into an employment agreement with John Dal Poggetto, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. The agreement is effective as of September 25, 2019, the date of his appointment. The terms of the employment agreement provide for an annual salary of $230,000 and an annual bonus amount not to exceed 40% of his base salary to be determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion.

The further details of such signing bonus award shall be determined by the Compensation Committee at a later date. Mr. Dal Poggetto also receives certain benefits, such as participation in the Company’s health and welfare plans, vacation, and reimbursement of expenses.

 

The employment agreement provides certain separation benefits in the event of termination without cause or resignation by Mr. Dal Poggetto for good reason, as such terms are defined in the employment agreement. In the event Mr. Dal Poggetto is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason, he is entitled to:

 

  · a lump sum severance payment equal to one time his base salary;

 

  · a bonus, as determined by the Compensation Committee, however the Compensation Committee may decide to grant no bonus;

 

  · automatic vesting of all unvested time-based options and equity awards and exercisability of awards for up to 12 months;

 

  · vesting of performance-based equity compensation awards in accordance with the terms of the awards, if the performance goals are satisfied, such determination to be in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee; and

 

  · reimbursement for health care premiums under COBRA until the earliest of: (i) three months following the date of termination; (ii) the date he is no longer eligible to receive COBRA continuation coverage; or (iii) until he becomes eligible for medical insurance coverage provided by another employer.

 

Mr. Dal Poggetto may terminate his employment for any reason upon at least 30 days prior written notice. Receipt of the termination benefits described above is contingent on executing a general release of claims against our Company, resignation from any and all directorships and every other position held by the executive with our Company or any of our subsidiaries, and the executive’s return to the Company of all Company property received from or on account of the Company or any of its affiliates by him. In addition, Mr. Dal Poggetto will not be entitled to such benefits if he does not comply with the non-competition, non-disparagement and invention assignment provisions of his employment agreement during the term of employment or the confidentiality provisions of the employment agreement, whether during or after the term of his employment.
