WHEREAS, Executive has served as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) since December 20, 2019;
WHEREAS, an unforeseen national pandemic emergency, combined with unprecedented economic challenges, have created conditions requiring mutual sacrifice to support the Company’s cost-reduction efforts;
WHEREAS, because of the aforementioned national emergency and economic challenges (and not because of any performance issues), the Parties have agreed that Executive will be separated from the Company, effective March 28, 2020 (the “Separation Date”);
WHEREAS, Executive has agreed to accept reduced severance benefits, among other things, that might otherwise be due to him under the terms of the Executive Agreement in order to allow the Company to conserve its limited resources, to allow the Company to make payments of severance compensation to other employees, and to permit Executive to transition out of his current roles without delay;
WHEREAS, Executive and the Company desire, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Transition Agreement, to enter into this Transition Agreement to set forth the Parties’ rights and obligations existing as of and after the Separation Date.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Executive and the Company hereby AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. Release and Waiver Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and understand that this Transition Agreement is a release and waiver contract, and that this document is legally binding.

A. The Company agrees to pay Executive the total sum of $182,000.00, less deductions for applicable taxes, in one lump sum payment 24 hours after the Effective Date. The consideration referenced in this Section 4(A) shall be referred to herein as the “Separation Consideration”.
B. If Executive takes any legal action to challenge the enforceability of this Transition Agreement for any reason, including, without limitation, that Executive did not knowingly or voluntarily enter into this Transition Agreement, Executive agrees that he will first return to the Company the full amount of the Separation Consideration received by him under this Transition Agreement.
C. Executive acknowledges that the Separation Consideration does not constitute an “exit incentive or other employment termination program offered to a group or class of Executives” within the meaning of federal law. Moreover, Executive acknowledges that the Separation Consideration represents good and sufficient consideration for the promises set forth in this Transition Agreement, including the promises set forth in Section 5.
D. Indemnification for Specific Acts, Omissions and Events. In addition to the Separation Consideration, the Parties agree that, subject to applicable law, Executive shall be provided indemnification as permitted by the Company’s governing documents, including coverage, if applicable, under any directors and officers insurance policies, with such indemnification determined by the Company in good faith based on principles consistently applied (subject to such limited exceptions as the Company may approve in cases of hardship) and on terms no less favorable than those provided to any other Company executive officer or director. Such rights shall include, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the right to be paid by the Company, on terms no less favorable than those provided to any other Company executive officer or director, the legal fees that may arise in defending individual claims against Executive made in connection with his role as an officer or director of the Company and to which Executive is entitled to in advance of a final disposition. The foregoing advancement shall be subject to (i) Executive granting an ‘allied-litigant’ privilege for the Company and its attorneys and (ii) the receipt by the Company of an undertaking by Executive in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company to repay such amounts, or a portion thereof, if it shall ultimately be adjudicated that Executive is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company pursuant hereto or as otherwise permitted by law.
