NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants herein
contained, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

 

AGREEMENT

 

1.Section 3 of the Employment Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and
the following shall be inserted in lieu thereof:

 

 

3.

Company Benefits.  Executive shall be entitled to participate in all employee
benefit programs for which Executive is eligible under the terms and conditions
of the benefit plans that may be in effect from time to time and provided by the
Company to its senior executive employees, provided that such benefits shall be
made available on the Effective Date without regard to any waiting period, to
the extent permitted by the terms of the benefit plans and applicable law.  The
Company reserves the right to cancel or change the benefit plans or programs it
offers to its employees at any time. Executive and the Company shall enter into
the Company’s standard Indemnification Agreement, which Indemnification
Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Date. The Company shall provide
Executive with a one-time payment of $300,000 (the “Relocation Payment”) payable
on or before December 31, 2019, for the Executive’s relocation from his
principle residence to Santa Barbara county.  If Executive resigns for any
reason, except as provided for in Section 6.4, or is terminated for Cause within
twelve (12) months of the Amendment Effective Date, Executive agrees to repay
the Relocation Payment in full. Unless otherwise approved by the Board,
Executive shall not be eligible for

any further payments with respect to Executive’s relocation to Santa Barbara
county.  

 

 

2.Except as specifically provided for in this Amendment, the terms of the
Employment Agreement shall be unmodified and shall remain in full force and
effect. In the event that any provision of this Amendment and the Employment
Agreement conflict, the provisions of this Amendment shall govern.

 

3.This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed
shall be deemed an original, and such counterparts shall together constitute one
and the same instrument.  This Amendment shall govern by and be construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of California applicable to contracts made
and to be performed in wholly within the State, and without regard to the
conflicts of laws principles thereof.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Amendment
shall become part of the Employment Agreement and therefore subject to its
terms.
