WHEREAS, this Agreement is being entered into in accordance with Section 4.15(a) of the SPA.
1. | Effective February 16, 2024, the Company will decrease the portion of Executive’s Base Salary payable to Executive in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll practices from $425,000.00 per year (the “Prior Base Salary”) to $361,250.00 per year, less applicable withholdings (the “Revised Base Salary”). | |
