NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants, agreements, waivers and releases hereinafter set forth and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and Stech agree as follows:













AGREEMENT


1.TERMINATION OF OFFICER AND DIRECTOR RELATIONSHIP. Stech hereby confirms his resignation as the President of the Company and as an officer, director or agent of any Affiliate (as defined below) as of July 17, 2019 (the "Separation Date"), and the termination of his employment by the Company and any Affiliate effective as of the Separation Date.


2.PAYMENT OF COMPENSATION THROUGH THE SEPARATION DATE. Stech (i) acknowledges and agrees that he has received all salary, bonuses, and other compensation owed to him, and has been reimbursed for all reimbursable business expenses owed to him, through the Separation Date, and (ii) acknowledges and agrees that, in exchange for the payment of his salary through August 31, 2019, as provided in Section 3.a below, he shall not receive, and he waives the right to receive, payment for any unused accrued vacation leave, sick leave or PTO leave.


3.SEPARATION BENEFITS. In consideration for Stech signing this Agreement and agreeing to the promises, covenants, and agreements contained herein, and providing the releases and waivers set forth below, the Company shall provide Stech with the following separation benefits ("Separation Benefits"), as follows:


a.Separation Pay. The Company shall pay to Stech his base salary from the Separation Date through August 31, 2019, less applicable tax withholdings ("Separation Pay"), to be paid in full before September 6, 2019, via direct deposit into Employee's bank account or paid to Employee with a payroll check mailed to Employee's home address.


b.COBRA Coverage Pay.


i.If Stech properly and timely elects to continue the medical and dental insurance coverage for him and his family under the Company's group medical and dental plans (collectively, "Continuation Coverage") pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act ("COBRA") following the Separation Date, the Company will pay that portion of the premium for such Continuation Coverage that equals the portion of the premium that the Company paid for the medical and dental insurance coverage for Stech and his family while he was employed by the Company ("COBRA Coverage Pay"), for August 2019 (the "COBRA Pay Period"). If Stech elects to continue COBRA coverage after the end of the COBRA Pay Period, such Continuation Coverage shall be entirely at his own expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Stech ceases to be eligible to receive Continuation Coverage under COBRA prior to the end of the COBRA Pay Period (as a result of Stech having obtained insurance coverage through a new employer or otherwise), the Company shall have no further obligation to pay any portion of the COBRA premiums for Continuation Coverage under the Company's group medical and dental plans.










ii.In the event that Stech does not elect the continuation of his medical and/or dental insurance benefits under COBRA but instead purchases a separate policy of insurance (a "Separate Policy") to cover him and his family, the Company shall reimburse Stech for the amounts actually paid by Stech for such Separate Policy for the month constituting the COBRA Pay Period up to a maximum monthly amount not to exceed the amount that the Company would be required to pay if Stech had elected the continuation of health insurance coverage under COBRA.


iii.If Stech elects to continue COBRA coverage after the end of the COBRA Pay Period or to continue his coverage under his Separate Policy after the COBRA Pay Period, such Continuation Coverage or Separate Policy shall be entirely at his own expense. 


c.2019Q2 Bonus. The Company has paid, and Stech hereby acknowledges receipt of, his 2019Q2 bonus.


4.CONTINUING COVENANTS. Stech hereby agrees to continue to abide by Stech's covenants, duties and obligations contained in Sections 3 - 8 of the 2014 Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect, except as authorized or amended below:

c.Claims Not Released by Stech.
