Start

Subject
to satisfaction of all of the conditions described in this
Agreement, your employment as Chief Executive Officer by the
Company will commence on July __, 2020 (the “Start

Base
Salary:

	
 

	

In
consideration of your services, you will be paid an annual base
salary of $250,000 per year, payable in accordance with the
standard payroll practices of the Company and subject to all

Annual
Cash Bonus:

	
 

	

During
your employment, you will be eligible to receive an annual bonus,
payable at such times and in such amounts, as determined by the
Compensation Committee of the Board (“Compensation
Committee”), with a maximum payout opportunity of $75,000.
Actual payments will be determined based on a combination of
Company results and individual performance against the applicable
quantitative and qualitative performance goals established by the
Compensation Committee. Any annual bonus with respect to a
particular fiscal year will be paid the earlier of the date on
which such bonuses are paid to other executives of the Company for
the same fiscal period or a date which is within three (3) months
following the end of the fiscal year for which the bonus is earned.
You must remain continuously employed through the bonus payment
date to be eligible to receive an annual bonus payment for a
particular fiscal year. Your first annual bonus will be payable
after the completion of the fiscal year ending June 30,
2021.


 


	

Equity
Grants:

	
 

	

At the
next regularly scheduled meeting of the Compensation Committee
following your Start Date, the Compensation Committee will consider
a grant to you of an equity award in the form of (1) restricted
stock units (“RSUs”) for 50,000 shares, and (2) a stock
option for the purchase of 15,000 shares of common stock. The value
of the RSUs will be based on the market price of the
Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The value of the
stock options will be based on a grant date fair value generally
estimated using a Black-Scholes or similar model; the exercise
price of the options will be based on the market price of the
Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The initial
equity award above shall vest in equal amounts of twenty-five
percent (25%) each on the first, second, third and fourth
anniversaries of the date of grant of such award. In addition, for
each full fiscal year of employment, you will be eligible to
receive annual equity awards, as determined by the Compensation
Committee, in the form of RSUs, valued at $75,000, with such grants
to vest fifty percent (50%) on the date of grant and fifty percent
(50%) on the first anniversary of the date of grant. The actual
number of shares included in any future equity awards hereunder and
all other terms and conditions applicable to each such award shall
be determined by the Compensation Committee. The value of such
equity awards will be determined based on the market price of the
Company’s common stock on the date of grant of such awards.
Equity awards will be subject to the terms and conditions of the
Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Award Plan, the 2018 Equity
Incentive Plan, or any successor plan adopted by the Company
pursuant to which such awards may be made, and the applicable award
agreement.
