2.Contingent Compensation:  In addition to your salary and benefits, you are eligible to participate in the Company’s contingent compensation program beginning in the 2021 performance year. This program may result in a cash bonus as a percent of your base salary, with the target bonus for the 2021 performance year set at 40%. Your actual cash bonus may be higher or lower than the target bonus depending on your and the Company’s achievements of goals and objectives, as well as overall business conditions. The Contingent Compensation program is administered by the Company's Board of Directors in their sole discretion. In order to be eligible for any type of payment under the program, you must be actively employed by the Company at the time the payment is made and your bonus would be pro-rated based on your hire date.

The Option shall vest as to 12/48 of the shares on the first anniversary of your date of hire and as to 1/48 of the shares at the end of each calendar month thereafter.

Both you and the Company may terminate the employment relationship, with or without cause, at any time, with or without notice.
