CEO Option Agreement

Effective April 21, 2020 the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Executive Employment Agreement (the “Amended Employment Agreement”) with Thomas Isett, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Executive Co-Chairman. Mr. Isett had been appointed Company Chief Executive Officer and Executive Co-Chairman on March 10, 2020. The Amended Employment Agreement amends and restates the original employment agreement entered into between the Company and Mr. Isett on March 10, 2020 (the “Original Agreement”).

The Amended Employment Agreement modifies the terms of the option grant contemplated under the Original Agreement. Under the Amended Employment Agreement, the Company is required to issue an option to purchase 975,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Option”) to Mr. Isett pursuant to the Company’s 2018 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan with an exercise price at the fair market value on the date of grant, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Option vests ratably over the 36-month period beginning on the date of the Original Agreement (1/36th per month) and will be deemed fully-vested upon any transaction or series of related transactions that constitutes a Change of Control Transaction (as defined in the Amended Employment Agreement). There is no requirement under the Amended Employment Agreement for the Company to exchange the Option with a new option if the trading price of the Company’s securities as measured at specified intervals falls below the exercise price of the Option, as contemplated in the Original Agreement.  The exercise price of $0.8953 per share is based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on April 21, 2020. 

Other than the removal of the requirement to exchange the Option based on a decline in the Company’s share price under specified circumstances, the terms of the Amended Employment Agreement remain unchanged from the Original Agreement.
