A. Base Salary. During the Employment Term, the Company shall pay the Executive a base salary at the annual rate of $265,000 (“Base Salary”), payable in regular installments in accordance with the Company’s customary payment practices. The Base Salary shall be subject to annual review by the Board or the Compensation Committee (or similar committee) of the Company whereupon the Base Salary may be increased (but not decreased) at their sole discretion.
B. Annual Incentive Bonus Compensation. The Executive shall be entitled to participate in the annual Executive Incentive Plan (the “Bonus Plan”) at a target level that shall not be less than 75% of Base Salary. All such opportunities shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Bonus Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference.
2. The parties acknowledge and agree that the following is added as new Section III, Subsection G of the Employment Agreement:
G. Immediate Vesting of Equity Incentive Awards Prior to Change of Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Equity Plan (as defined below) or other similar equity plan, if a Change of Control (as defined below) occurs, all equity awards granted to the Executive during the Employment Term shall vest and (for option grants) become immediately exercisable immediately prior to the occurrence of the Change of Control, and (for option grants) shall be exercisable until the earlier to occur of (i) the end of the award term as set forth in the
applicable award agreement(s) or (ii) ninety (90) days after the termination date of the Executive’s employment, after which all such awards shall expire and be of no further force or effect.

3. The parties acknowledge and agree that Section IV, Subsection C.2. of the Employment Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety by the following:
