Under the terms of Amendment 1, the Company's Chief Executive Officer is eligible to receive enhanced payments and benefits if terminated, including 24 months of COBRA continuation coverage premiums and a lump sum payment of 200% of Base Pay. The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
