The Employment Agreement provides that Mr. Winemaster’s employment is “at will” and may be terminated at any time by either party.

In connection with his employment, Mr. Winemaster was awarded 45,223 shares of restricted stock which vest in equal one-half increments on March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019, which was established in the award agreement.

In the event that Mr. Winemaster’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement) during the employment term, he will be entitled to receive, among other things, (i) severance equal to base salary for 12 months and (ii) any unpaid previously awarded bonus related to the prior fiscal year. The Employment Agreement restricts Mr. Winemaster from competing with the Company during the term of the agreement and for one year after termination of his employment with the Company. The Employment Agreement also restricts Mr. Winemaster from soliciting the Company’s customers or executives during the term of the agreement and for one year after termination of his employment with the Company.
