Severance Arrangements
 
Pursuant to the terms of the employment agreements with our executive officers and certain other employees, employment may be terminated by either the respective executive officer or us at any time. In the event the employee voluntarily resigns (except as described below) or is terminated for cause, compensation under the employment agreement will end. In the event an agreement is terminated by us without cause or in certain circumstances constructively by us, the terminated employee will receive severance compensation for a period from 6 to 12 months, depending on the employee, in an annualized amount equal to the respective employee's base salary then in effect. At March 31, 2018, the maximum contingent liability under these agreements is $437.
 
On January 30, 2018, the Company entered into a “First Amendment to Employment Agreement” with its CFO (the “First Amendment”) amending certain terms of the Employment Agreement entered into with its CFO on May 15, 2017. Pursuant to the First Amendment, the CFO’s employment will run through December 31, 2018 unless it is terminated earlier in accordance with the Employment Agreement. In the event of the CFO’s termination without “due cause” (as defined in the Employment Agreement), he will be entitled to receive a severance package consisting of (i) salary continuation payments for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of such termination at his most recent salary rate, (ii) the amount, if any, paid as an annual bonus in the year preceding termination, and (iii) COBRA continuation coverage under the Company’s hospitalization and medical plan and for the 12-month period following termination, he and his eligible dependents at the time of termination will be eligible to continue coverage at the same premium charged to active employees.
 
As a part of the First Amendment, if the CFO has a constructive termination of his employment without Due Cause during the term of the Employment Agreement, as amended, or within one year of a “change of control” (as defined in the Company’s Amended and Restated 2011 Stock Incentive Plan), subject to executing an irrevocable release, the CFO will be entitled to receive a severance package consisting of (i) salary continuation payments for a period of (A) nine (9) months in the event that the CFO provides written notice of a constructive termination to the Company prior to the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, or (B) twelve (12) months in the event that the CFO provides written notice of a constructive termination to the Company at any time during the period commencing on the day following the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 and ending on December 31, 2018, in either instance at his most recent salary rate, (ii) the amount, if any, paid as an annual bonus in the year preceding the CFO’s termination, and (iii) COBRA continuation coverage under the Company’s hospitalization and medical plan and for the 9-month or 12-month period, as the case may be, following termination he will be eligible to continue coverage, including his eligible dependents at the time of termination, at the same premium charged to active employees.
 
Separation of Chief Executive Officer
 
On December 31, 2017, the Company and its then president and CEO, Derek Elder, entered into a Separation and Consulting Agreement and General Release of Claims (the “Separation Agreement”), whereby his role as president and CEO of the Company terminated and he ceased to be a member of the Board of Directors and all committees thereof, effective on December 31, 2017. Mr. Elder’s separation from the Company did not involve any disagreement with the Board of Directors, the Company or its management on any matter relating to our operations, policies or practices. Under the Separation Agreement, Mr. Elder received the following payments in January 2018, all less applicable tax withholdings and deductions: (i) a lump sum cash severance payment of $558; (ii) $180, which equals the pro-rated portion of the maximum award payable to him under our annual incentive plan for the Company’s 2018 fiscal year; (iii) $19, which represents the difference between his monthly COBRA premium for himself and his eligible dependents who were covered under the Company's hospitalization and medical plan as of December 31, 2017 and the monthly premium that an active employee would pay for the same coverage as of December 31, 2017, multiplied by 12 and grossed up for estimated taxes; and (iv) the previously approved and announced $200 bonus payable on closing of the transaction with Vecima. In addition, all of Mr. Elder’s outstanding restricted stock awards and performance-based stock awards became fully vested on December 31, 2017 in accordance with the terms of the Company’s Amended and Restated 2011 Stock Incentive Plan.
 
Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, Mr. Elder will provide consulting services to the Company through December 31, 2018, unless the consulting term is terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the Separation Agreement. As consideration for the consulting services, Mr. Elder will receive: (i) one payment of $218 on or about July 1, 2018; and (ii) an aggregate of $218 payable in six (6) substantially equal monthly installments during the period beginning on July 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018. In addition, Mr. Elder will be eligible to receive an “Incentive Transaction Bonus” (as defined in the Separation Agreement) upon the consummation of any acquisition of any entity or business (as defined in the Separation Agreement, a “Sourced Business”) by the Company that he sourced and introduced to the Company during the consulting term and is consummated on or before the 90th day following the termination of the consulting term (as defined by the Separation Agreement, a “Sourced Transaction”). The Incentive Transaction Bonus will equal the sum of (i) 1% of the total consideration paid by us for the Sourced Business in the Sourced Transaction and (ii) 7.5% of the Net Asset Value (as defined in the Separation Agreement) of a subsequent sale of the Sourced Business by the Company that is consummated on or before the 5th anniversary of the closing of the Sourced Transaction. Each portion of the Incentive Transaction Bonus shall be paid in a lump sum cash payment no later than thirty (30) days following the consummation of the applicable transaction.
 
The consideration paid to the CEO under the Separation Agreement is in lieu of any change of control or other consideration payable to him under his previous employment agreement. The Separation Agreement contains a general release of claims against us and other “Released Parties” by the CEO and a covenant not to sue such Released Parties. Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, the CEO is required to comply with certain restrictive covenants regarding non-disclosure of Company information, non-disparagement, non-competition and non-solicitation of our customers and employees.
 
Resignation of Directors
 
As reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 14, 2017, three of our independent directors resigned from our Board of Directors and all committees, effective as of July 14, 2017. In connection therewith, the Board approved a reduction in the size of the Board of Directors from seven (7) to four (4) directors. The resignations of such directors did not involve any disagreement with the Board of Directors, the Company or its management on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. In connection with these resignations, we agreed to accelerate the vesting of 5,400 shares of restricted stock held by each of the resigning directors (including an aggregate of $7 of accrued dividends released upon the acceleration of the vesting of the restricted stock), and to make a one-time payment to each of the resigning directors of $52, which includes unpaid meeting fees through the date of resignation. Additionally, as reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 31, 2017, the Board approved an increase in the size of the Board of Directors from four (4) to five (5) members and added one new independent director.
 
Another independent director, Robert Pons, tendered his resignation from the Board of Directors and all committees thereof effective December 31, 2017.

Spartan will also be eligible to receive an “Incentive Transaction Bonus” (as defined in the Consulting Agreement upon the consummation of any acquisition (as defined in the Consulting Agreement, a “Sourced Transaction”) of an entity or business (as defined in the Consulting Agreement, a “Sourced Business”) by us that Spartan sourced and introduced to us during the term of the Consulting Agreement. Any transaction bonus payable to Spartan will equal the sum of (i) 1% of the total consideration paid by us for the Sourced Business in the Sourced Transaction and (ii) 7.5% of the “Net Asset Value” (as defined in the Consulting Agreement) of any subsequent sale of the Sourced Business by the Company. Each portion of the Incentive Transaction Bonus shall be paid in a lump sum cash payment no later than thirty (30) days following the consummation of the applicable transaction.
