The Company is a party to a Separation and Severance Agreement (the “Separation Agreement”) with Mr. Yashpal Singh, its 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 the Company 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 Company 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 monthly installments by the Company over a 20 month period. Mr. Singh’s current employment contract ends on June 30, 2016. The receipt of payments is contingent on Mr. Singh executing a release of claims for the benefit of the Company. As of March 31, 2016, the Company has accrued $813,800 against this obligation.
