Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Mr. Santi will continue to be employed as the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer for a three-year term beginning January 30, 2017, and, unless sooner terminated as provided therein, ending January 29, 2020; provided that such term of employment shall automatically extend for successive one-year periods unless either party gives at least thirty days’ advance written notice of its intention not to extend the term of employment. Mr. Santi will receive a base salary of $225,000, increasing to $250,000 and $275,000, respectively, for the second and third years of the Employment Agreement.

During the employment period, Mr. Santi’s employment with the Company may be terminated by the Company for Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement) or by Mr. Santi at any time and for any reason. In the event that Mr. Santi’s employment is terminated by the Company for any reason other than for Cause or following a Change of Control (as defined in the Employment Agreement), then the Company shall pay to Mr. Santi (i) his accrued but unpaid salary and (ii) severance payments for the applicable Severance Period (as defined in the Employment Agreement).

The Employment Agreement also contains customary non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality provisions.

Other than the Employment Agreement, there are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Santi and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Santi was appointed to serve as the President and Chief Operating Officer.
