(a) Effective as of the Effective Date, Section 2.1 of the Agreement is amended and restated to read as follows:
“2.1. Base Salary. So long as this Agreement remains in effect, for all services rendered by Executive hereunder and all covenants and conditions undertaken by the Parties pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall pay, and Executive shall accept, as compensation, an annual base salary (“Base Salary”) of $360,000, which shall be payable in cash; provided that solely during the four month period from September 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022, the Base Salary shall be paid by way of a pro rata portion of $300,000 in cash. In addition, Executive shall be issued $60,000 in shares of the Company’s common stock, issuable pursuant to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, and valued at the closing sales price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the date that the Second Amendment to Executive Employment Agreement effective September 1, 2022, is approved by the Board of Directors and Compensation Committee of the Company, and with such vesting terms as approved by the Board of Directors and Compensation Committee, which shares shall be issued by September 15, 2022. The Base Salary shall be payable in regular installments in accordance with the normal payroll practices of the Company, in effect from time to time, but in any event no less frequently than on a monthly basis (except as discussed above). For so long as Executive is employed hereunder, beginning December 31, 2020, and on each December 31st thereafter, the Base Salary may be increased as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”), in its sole and absolute discretion. Additionally, in the event that Executive meets at least 70% of the requirements for any annual Performance Bonus, as determined in the reasonable discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, pursuant to the timeline and requirements of Section 2.3 hereof, Executive’s Base Salary shall increase by 20% (effective upon confirmation by the Compensation Committee that such metrics were met)(the “Base Salary Increase”). Executive shall be eligible for the Base Salary Increase on an annual basis with such increases being cumulative. Such increases in salary shall be documented in the Company’s records, but shall not require the Parties enter into a new or amended form of this Agreement. Any unpaid amount of Base Salary not paid during the four-month period from September 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 shall be deemed forgiven.”
