WHEREAS, in furtherance thereof, the Company and the Chairman desire to memorialize the terms and scope of the Services, and the compensation provided to the Chairman in respect of the Services, in each case in accordance with this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, of the mutual promises herein contained, and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto, intending legally to be bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. Services; Payment. Beginning on the Effective Date (as defined below), the Chairman agrees to undertake the services set forth on Exhibit A (collectively, the “Services”). As the only consideration due to the Chairman regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, the Company will pay to the Chairman the compensation set forth on Exhibit B.

2. Term of Engagement. This Agreement shall be effective as of March 12, 2018 (the “Effective Date”). The Chairman’s Services commenced as of the Effective Date and shall continue through December 31, 2018 (the “Term”). At the end of such initial Term, the Term shall be extended for successive six (6) month periods unless either Party provides written notice to the other Party of its intention to not extend at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then current Term. The Company or the Chairman may also terminate the Agreement at any time by giving no less than sixty (60) days prior written notice to the other Party. For the purposes of this Agreement, Sections 2 through 8 of this Agreement and any remedies for breach of this Agreement shall survive any termination or expiration.
3. Director Obligations. The Chairman acknowledges that the Services provided hereunder will be provided in his capacity as a director of the Company and as such all of the information which the Chairman has access to and all activities the Chairman undertakes shall be subject to the confidentiality and fiduciary duty obligations the Chairman owes to the Company as a director.
4. Warranties and Other Obligations.

5. Independent Director Status. The Company and the Chairman agree that the Chairman shall at all times be acting in his capacity as an independent director hereunder, and not a co-venturer, agent, employee or representative of the Company, and no act, action or omission to act of the Chairman shall in any way be binding upon or obligate the Company. The Chairman shall not be treated as an employee for Federal, state or local tax purposes. The Company and the Chairman agree that the Chairman is intended to be an independent contractor for Federal, state and local tax purposes. Further, the Chairman hereby covenants and agrees to pay any and all Federal, state and local taxes required by law to be paid by an independent contractor.
6. Assignment. This Agreement and the services contemplated hereunder are personal to the Chairman and the Chairman shall not have the right or ability to assign, transfer or subcontract any rights or obligations under this Agreement without the written consent of the Company. Any attempt to do so shall be void. The Company may fully assign and transfer this Agreement in whole or part.

8. Miscellaneous. This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding by and between Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and no representations, promises, agreements or understandings, written or oral, not herein contained shall be of any force or effect. No change or modification hereof shall be valid or binding unless the same is in writing and signed by both Parties. The failure of either Party to enforce its rights under this Agreement at any time for any period shall not be construed as a waiver of such rights. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof. Headings herein are for convenience of reference only and shall in no way affect interpretation of the Agreement.
