2.

	
Term. The Executive’s employment hereunder shall commence effective as of March 26, 2014, (the “Effective Date”) and shall continue until terminated on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

Capacity and Performance.












(a)           During the term hereof, the Executive shall serve as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. So long as Executive remains the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, the Company will recommend to its stockholders that Executive be elected to the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) at each meeting of stockholders or in connection with each action by written consent pursuant to which Executive may be elected.







(i)           As of the Effective Date, the Executive will be engaged with the Company on a full time basis; provided, that through December 31, 2014, Executive shall continue to provide services to the Konus Advisory Group, Inc., provided, further that  such services not adversely impact Executive’s commitment to the Company hereunder.







(ii)           Executive shall have all powers and duties consistent with his position, subject to the direction and control of the Board and shall perform such other duties and responsibilities on behalf of the Company as may reasonably be designated from time to time by the Board. The Executive shall require the approval of the Board to pursue or enter into any transaction or group of related transactions that are not in the ordinary course of business and would be material to the Company.







(b)           During the term hereof, the Executive shall devote sufficient time and his best efforts, business judgment, skill and knowledge to the advancement of the business and interests of the Company and to the discharge of his duties and responsibilities hereunder. The Executive shall comply with all written policies of the






  





  











  






 


 


Company in effect from time to time and shall observe and implement those resolutions and directives of the Board as made or issued from time to time. The Executive agrees that under no circumstances shall he undertake any other form of employment or consulting that would conflict with the interests of the Company.


 


4.           Compensation and Benefits. As compensation for all services performed by the Executive hereunder during the term hereof, and subject to performance of the Executive’s duties and obligations pursuant to this Agreement:







(a)           Base Salary. From the Effective Date, the Company shall pay the Executive a base salary of Three Hundred and Ninety Thousand Dollars ($390,000) per annum, beginning on the Effective Date (the “Base Salary”), payable in accordance with the payroll practices of the Company for its executives, but no less than once per each month.







(b)           Bonus. During the term hereof, the Executive shall have the opportunity to earn an annual performance bonus with a target equal to 50% of the Executive’s salary (“Target Bonus”) based upon performance criteria set by the Board in its sole discretion on an annual basis, it being understood and agreed that notwithstanding the Target Bonus, there shall be no minimum or maximum with respect to any potential annual bonus. The Board shall conduct a performance review of the Executive at least once a year on or prior to February 1 of each year, commencing in 2015. The Company may, from time to time, pay such other bonus or bonuses to the Executive as the Board or a compensation committee of the Board, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. In order to receive the annual performance bonus, the Executive must continue to be employed by the Company through the end of the period with respect to which the annual performance bonus has been earned. The annual performance bonus will be paid to the Executive at such time as bonuses for the applicable period are regularly paid to senior executives of the Company; provided, however, in no event will the annual performance bonus be paid later than February 28 of the following calendar year.







(d)           Equity Incentives. As part of the Original Agreement, the Executive received options to purchase 3,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.75 per share (the “Stock Options”). The Stock Options remain in full force and effect.  The Executive shall be eligible to participate in the Company’s equity incentive plans, if any, and any options or restricted stock granted under such plan shall be deemed to be Stock Options for purpose of this Agreement.  In addition, Executive shall be eligible to participate in the Company’s Restricted Stock Unit Plan, if any.

Such participation shall be subject to (i) the terms of the applicable plan documents, (ii) generally applicable Company policies and (iii) the discretion of the Board or any administrative or other committee provided for in or contemplated by such plan.  Nothing contained herein shall be construed to limit the Company’s ability to amend, suspend, or terminate any employee benefit plan or policy at any time without providing Executive notice, and the right to do so is expressly reserved.  Company shall pay all premiums for a Directors and Officers liability insurance policy that covers the Executive.

(b)           Disability.

(g)           Severance Benefits.







(i)           In the event that the Company terminates the Executive’s employment without Cause (as defined above subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5(g)) or Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason, (A) the Company will pay an amount equal to the Base Salary plus the annual Target Bonus as severance on a monthly basis to the Executive and will provide the continuation of the benefits set forth in Section 4(e) for a period of twelve months (the “Severance Period”) following Executive’s termination, (B) any Stock Options that are subject to vesting shall have vesting accelerated with respect to the number of shares that would have vested during the Severance Period if Executive had remained employed by the Company during such period (and any shares of capital stock of the Company that are subject to a right of repurchase shall have such right of repurchase lapse with respect to the number of shares that would have lapsed during the Severance Period if Executive had remained employed by the Company during such period), and (C) accrued and unused vacation at the time of termination up to a maximum of four weeks shall be paid to Executive.







(ii)           The severance amount and benefits continuation set forth in Section 5(f)(i) are referred to herein as the “Severance Benefits.” The






  





  











  






 


 


continuation of any group health plan benefits shall be to the extent authorized by and consistent with 29 U.S.C. § 1161 et seq. (commonly known as “COBRA”), with the cost of the regular employer portion of the premium for such benefits paid by the Company. The Executive’s right to receive Severance Benefits under Subsection 5(f)(i) is conditioned upon (x) the Executive’s prior execution and delivery to the Company of a reasonably satisfactory general release of any and all claims and causes of action of the Executive against the Company and its officers and directors, excepting only the right to any compensation, benefits and/or reimbursable expenses due and unpaid under Sections 4 and/or 5(f)(i) of this Agreement, and (y) the Executive’s continued performance of those obligations hereunder that continue by their express terms after the termination of his employment, including without limitation those set forth in Sections 8. Any Severance Benefits to be paid hereunder shall be payable in accordance with the payroll practices of the Company for its executives generally as in effect from time to time, and subject to all required withholding of taxes.

Upon termination of this Agreement, all obligations and provisions of this Agreement shall terminate except with respect to any accrued and unpaid monetary obligations and vesting acceleration provisions and except for the provisions of Section 7 through (and inclusive of) 20 hereof.

21.           Tax Matters.







(a)           In the event of an event constituting a change in the ownership or effective control of Company or ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of Company described in Code Section 280G(b)(2)(A)(i) (a “ 280G Transaction "), Company shall cause its independent auditors or another person or entity approved by the Company and Executive promptly to review all payments, accelerations, distributions and benefits that have been made to or provided to, and are to be made, or may be made, to or provided to, Executive under this Agreement, the 2012 Plan and any other arrangements providing for payments or benefits contingent on the occurrence of a 280G Transaction (irrespective of whether such payments or benefits are then payable to Executive at that time), and any other agreement or plan under which Executive may individually or collectively benefit (collectively the “Original Payments"), to determine the applicability of Code Section 4999 to Executive in connection with such event. Company’s independent auditors or such other approved party will perform this analysis in conformity with the foregoing provisions and will provide Executive with a copy of their analysis and determination. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that the Original Payments would be subject to the excise tax imposed under Code Section 4999 (the “Excise Tax"), the Original Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the extent necessary so that no Original Payment shall be subject to the Excise Tax, but only if, by reason of such reduction, the net after-tax benefit received by Executive shall exceed the net after-tax benefit received by him if no such reduction was made. For purposes of this Agreement, “net after-tax benefit" shall mean (a) the Original Payments which Executive receives or is then entitled to receive from Company that would constitute “parachute payments" within the meaning of Code Section 280G, less (b) the amount of all federal, state and local income taxes payable with respect to the foregoing calculated at the maximum marginal income tax rate for each year in which the foregoing shall be paid to Executive (based on the rate in effect for such year as set forth in the Code as in effect at the time of the first payment of the foregoing), less (c) the amount of the Excise Tax imposed with respect to the payments and benefits described in (a) above. If a reduction is to occur pursuant to this Section 24(a), the payments and benefits shall be reduced in the following order: any cash severance to which Executive becomes entitled (starting with the last payment due), then other cash amounts that are parachute payments (starting with the last payment due), then any stock option awards that have exercise prices higher than the then-fair market value price of the stock (based on the latest vesting tranches), then restricted stock and restricted stock units based on the latest awards scheduled to be distributed, and then other stock options based on the latest vesting tranches. The fees and expenses of Company’s auditor or any other party for services in connection with the determinations and calculations contemplated by this provision will be borne by Company.







(b)           The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“ Code Section 409A ") and, accordingly, to the maximum extent 


 


 




  





  











  






 


permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith. If the Executive notifies the Company (with specificity as to the reason therefor) that he believes that any provision of this Agreement (or of any award of any compensation or benefits) would cause him to incur any additional tax or interest under Code Section 409A and the Company concurs with such belief or the Company independently makes such determination, the Company shall, after consultation with the Executive, to the extent legally permitted and to the extent it is possible to timely reform the provision to avoid taxation under Code Section 409A, reform such provision to attempt to comply with Code Section 409A through good faith modifications to the minimum extent reasonably appropriate to conform with Code Section 409A. To the extent that any provision hereof is modified in order to comply with or be exempt from Code Section 409A, such modification shall be made in good faith and shall, to the maximum extent reasonably possible, maintain the original intent and economic benefit to both the Executive and the Company of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Code Section 409A.







(c)           For purposes of the application of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(4) (or any successor provision), each payment in a series of payments will be deemed a separate payment.


 


(d)           If the termination of employment giving rise to the severance benefits described in Sections 5 or 6 is not a “separation from service" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A- 1(h)(1), then to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of any accelerated or additional tax under Code Section 409A, such benefits will be deferred without interest until Executive’ experiences a separation from service.







If at the time of Executive’s separation from service, (i) he is a specified employee (within the meaning of Code Section 409A and using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time), and (ii) the Company makes a good faith determination that an amount payable to Executive constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Code Section 409A) the payment of which is required to be delayed pursuant to the six-month delay rule set forth in Code Section 409A in order to avoid taxes or penalties under Code Section 409A (the “ Delay Period "), then the Company will not pay such amount on the otherwise scheduled payment date but will instead pay it in a lump sum on the first business day after such six-month period. To the extent that any benefits to be provided during the Delay Period is considered deferred compensation under Code Section 409A provided on account of a “separation from service," and such benefits are not otherwise exempt from Code Section 409A, Executive shall pay the cost of such benefits during the Delay Period, and the Company shall reimburse Executive, to the extent that such costs would otherwise have been paid by the Company or to the extent that such benefits would otherwise have been provided by the Company at no cost to Executive, the Company’s share of the cost of such benefits upon expiration of the Delay Period, and any remaining benefits shall be reimbursed or provided by the Company in accordance with the procedures specified herein.


 


 




 




  





  











  




 




(e)           To the extent an expense or in-kind benefit provided pursuant to this Agreement constitutes a “deferral of compensation" within the meaning of Code Section 409A (1) the expenses will be reimbursed to Executive as promptly as practical and in any event not later than the last day of the calendar year after the calendar year in which the expenses are incurred, (2) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided during any calendar year will not affect the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided in any other calendar year, (3) the right to payment or reimbursement or in-kind benefits hereunder may not be liquidated or exchanged for any other benefit.











  





  











  













 







IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Amended and Restated Agreement has been executed by the Executive and the Company, as approved by the Board of Directors by Unanimous Written Consent, by its duly authorized representative, as of the date first above written.
