9. Severance Payable

 

The Company had entered into a Separation and Severance Agreement with Mr. Yashpal Singh, our President and Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to the terms of the Separation Agreement, upon Mr. Singh’s (i) termination of employment for Good Reason (as defined in the Separation Agreement), (ii) termination of employment at the end of the employment term, (iii) death, (iv) disability or (v) termination by us without Cause (as defined in the Separation Agreement), he shall be entitled to certain severance benefits and payments. The severance payment shall equal the product of 2.5 times his average monthly base salary (calculated over the twelve (12) month period preceding the termination event), multiplied by the number of years (on a pro rated basis) he had been employed by the us at the Termination Date (as defined in the Separation Agreement); provided, however, that the severance payment may not exceed thirty (30) months of Mr. Singh’s average monthly base salary (calculated over the twelve (12) months preceding his termination date). Payments due to Mr. Singh under the Separation Agreement shall be paid in equal installments by the Company over a 20 month period. The receipt of payments is contingent on Mr. Singh executing a release of claims for the benefit of the Company. As of December 31, 2014, the Company estimated the obligation to be $760,100.
