Commitments

  

On October 7, 2015, the Company entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Robert Ladd, its Chief Executive Officer and President, effective October 1, 2015. The agreement amends and restates in its entirety the employment agreement entered into between the Company and Mr. Ladd in November 2012, as amended January 28, 2014. The term of the agreement expires on November 30, 2016, subject to automatic renewals of one year. The agreement provides for a base salary of $199 per year. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company also granted Mr. Ladd 200,000 shares of unregistered Common Stock. Mr. Ladd is eligible for bonus compensation and equity awards as may be approved in the discretion of the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors.  Upon termination of his employment for reasons other than death, disability, or cause or upon resignation for good reason, Mr. Ladd will be entitled to a severance payment equal to the higher of the aggregate amount of his base salary for the then remaining term of the agreement or twelve times the average monthly base salary paid or accrued during the three full calendar months immediately preceding such termination. All unvested stock options shall immediately vest and the exercise period of such options shall be extended to the later of the longest period permitted by the Company’s stock option plans or ten years following the termination date. The agreement also contains non–compete and change of control provisions.
