On June 17, 2022, CPS Technologies Corp. (the “Company”) entered into an executive severance agreement with Charles K. Griffith, Jr., its Chief Financial Officer (the “COC Agreement”). The COC Agreement provides for 12 months of salary continuation (the “Salary Continuation Period”) in the event of Mr. Griffith’s termination in connection with a change of control of the Company. During the Salary Continuation Period, so long as COBRA continuation coverage is timely and properly elected by Mr. Griffith, the Company has agreed to reimburse Mr. Griffith for the Company paid portion for the cost of coverage that is in effect for the Salary Continuation Period, which reimbursements shall continue until the earlier of (i) the end of the Salary Continuation Period and (ii) the termination of Mr. Griffith’s COBRA continuation coverage. Further, in the event Mr. Griffith is terminated in connection with a change of control and subject to certain requirements, any outstanding and unvested stock options held by Mr. Griffith at that time shall accelerate in full so that all outstanding and unvested stock options shall become vested. The COC Agreement also provides for indemnification of Mr. Griffith under certain circumstances.
 
In addition to the provisions provided above, the COC Agreement also subjects Mr. Griffith to certain non-competition and non-solicitation provisions during his employment with the Company and for twelve (12) months following the date of his termination from the Company, provided that the non-competition provision shall not limit Mr. Griffith from being involved in certain non-competitive portions businesses that may otherwise be deemed competitive under the COC Agreement. Mr. Griffith has also agreed to adhere to a non-disparagement clause for the period of his employment and following his termination.
 
The foregoing summary of the COC Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the COC Agreement, which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1.
