On June 7, 2017, the Company entered into an employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) with Mr. Podwalski to serve as Chief Commercial Officer of the Company.  Under the Employment Agreement, Mr. Podwalski will (1) receive a base salary of $240,000 per year (“Base Salary”); (2) receive a sign-on bonus of $25,000, payable on the six month anniversary of the Effective Date, subject to his continued employment through and on such payment date; (3) be eligible to receive an annual performance bonus, having a minimum bonus opportunity equal to 20% of his current Base Salary based upon 80% achievement of performance criteria (the “Minimum Performance Goal”), a target bonus opportunity equal to 25% of his current Base Salary based upon 100% achievement of performance criteria, and a maximum bonus opportunity equal to 37.5% of his current Base Salary based upon 150% achievement of performance criteria (the “Maximum Performance Goal”), provided, however, that such performance bonus will be determined using straight-line interpolation of the level of achievement between the Minimum Performance Goal and the Maximum Performance Goal; and (4) receive an initial stock option grant to purchase shares of Common Stock equal to 1% of the total fully diluted shares of Common Stock underlying the Series C Units (as defined in the Employment Agreement) sold as of the Effective Date, with an exercise price of $4.50 per share or the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the grant date, whichever is greater, vesting monthly over a three year period commencing on the Effective Date, subject to his continued employment through and on each such vesting date.
 
The Employment Agreement is terminable by the Company on 90 days’ written notice and by Mr. Podwalski on 30 days’ written notice.  The Employment Agreement is immediately terminable by the Company for Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement) without the payment of severance.  The Employment Agreement contains non-compete obligations applicable during the term of the agreement and for one year thereafter and confidentiality obligations that survive the termination of the agreement indefinitely.
 
Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Podwalski served at Ernst & Young as Senior Consultant and Subject Matter Expert, Life Sciences, from February 2005 to May 2017. From January 2000 to February 2005, Mr. Podwalski was Senior Director of Global Commercial Effectiveness at Aventis Pharmaceuticals Inc., a multinational pharmaceutical company.  From November 1996 to December 1999, Mr. Podwalski was a Business Team Leader for the insulin division of Hoechst Marion Roussel Inc., a pharmaceutical company which was merged into Aventis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in 1999.
 
Mr. Podwalski has no family relationships with any of the executive officers or directors of the Company.  There have been no transactions in the past two years to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries was or is to be a party, in which Mr. Podwalski had, or will have, a direct or indirect material interest.
