Dear Russ,
In light of the circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our business, Masonite International Corporation (the “Company”) is requesting that you agree to reduce your annualized base salary rate from $470,000.00 to $376,000.00 for the time period of April 13, 2020 through June 26, 2020 (the “Reduction Period).  By signing below, you hereby agree and consent to the reduction and agree that the reduction does not constitute “good reason” or a “constructive termination” (or term of similar meaning) under any agreement to which you are a party or any plan in which you participate, including but not limited to the Employment Agreement by and between you and the Company and any equity awards.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and in accordance with the Company’s Management Incentive Plan, your annual MIP bonus for fiscal year 2020 will be calculated using your base salary in effect at the end of 2020.  Additionally, any severance to which you may become entitled during the Reduction Period will be calculated using your base salary in effect immediately prior to any reduction hereunder.  Please note that to the extent that any of your benefits are based on your annual base salary level, your benefits may be impacted by your base salary reduction.  The reduction in base salary described above may affect the aggregate amount of your contributions to the Company’s 401(k) plan for 2020.  You should consider whether to make any changes to your contribution elections.
Thank you for your continued efforts during these difficult and uncertain times.  
            Sincerely,
            Masonite International Corporation

#### WOODSON v. THE STATE.

(605 SE2d 822)

SMITH, Chief Judge.

This case appears here for the second time. In *Woodson v. State,*242 Ga. App. 67 (530 SE2d 2) (2000), this court affirmed the judgment of conviction against Woodson but remanded the case for resentencing on the ground that the State did not meet its burden of proof with respect to sentencing under the recidivist statute, OCGA § 17-10-7. Id. at 70 (4). Under that statute, the trial court had imposed maximum sentences for the five felonies for which Woodson had been convicted. Id. During the resentencing hearing on remand, the State withdrew its request that Woodson be sentenced as a recidivist, and the trial court stated that Woodson would “receive the identical sentence” previously imposed but directed the State to “redraw it to show that it’s not being done as a recidivist.” As a consequence, Woodson was sentenced to consecutive prison terms “for a total sentence of eighty (80) years and twelve (12) months.”

Woodson appeals, arguing that the trial court was required to sentence him to concurrent prison terms under OCGA§ 17-10-10 (a). We do not agree. That Code section provides that if a person is convicted at a single term of court on more than one count of an indictment or accusation “and sentenced to imprisonment, the sentences shall be served concurrently *unless otherwise expressly provided*therein.” (Emphasis supplied.) Id. The trial court’s sentence *732expressly provides for the imposition of consecutive sentences for the separate crimes committed by Woodson. “Consecutive sentences are permitted where separate and distinct crimes are charged.” (Citations and punctuation omitted.) *Burgos v. State,*233 Ga. App. 897, 902 (3) (505 SE2d 543) (1998). Although acquitted of rape, Woodson was charged and convicted of the “separate and distinct” crimes of burglary, battery, kidnapping, aggravated assault with the intent to rape, and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and the trial court was authorized to impose consecutive sentences.

Decided July 26, 2004.

Willie Woodson, *pro se.*

*Robert E. Keller, District Attorney, Bonnie K. Smith, Assistant District Attorney,*for appellee.

*Judgment affirmed.*

*Johnson, P. J., and Phipps, J., concur.*
