Effective February 25th, 2019
you will be increased to a base salary at the annual rate of $225,000.00 (the "Base Salary"). The Base Salary will be

You

No right to any stock is earned or accrued until such time that vesting occurs, nor does the grant confer any right to continue
vesting or employment.


 


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary,
all terms and conditions of any stock options granted to you shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the applicable option
agreement (as may be amended from time to time), which you will be required to sign.
