On March 22, 2017, the Company announced the appointment of Alan S. Gever, 62, as the Company's Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, effective as of that date.

Employment Agreement
On March 21, 2017, the Company and Mr. Gever entered into an employment agreement (the "Employment Agreement"), outlining the terms of Mr. Gever's employment with the Company.  Under the terms of the Employment Agreement, Mr. Gever will receive a base salary of $275,000 per year and an annual bonus of up to 65% of his base salary. $100,000 of the first year's bonus is guaranteed, and shall be paid in equal installments on the six and twelve month anniversary of the Employment Agreement.  Mr. Gever is also entitled to earn a long-term incentive equal to 1% of the change in enterprise value of the Company over a four year period, half of which will be paid in cash and half of which shall be paid in cash or in stock, at the discretion of the board of directors. In addition, Mr. Gever is eligible to participate in the Company's standard employee benefits programs available to senior executives.
The term of the Employment Agreement is one year, renewing automatically for additional one year periods unless the Employment Agreement is terminated by Mr. Gever or the Company, in each case by 30 days' written notice.  In addition, the Company may terminate Mr. Gever's employment at any time, with or without cause, and Mr. Gever may terminate his employment with the Company on 30 days' written notice or immediately for good reason, as defined in the Employment Agreement.
Under the Employment Agreement, in the event Mr. Gever's employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by Mr. Gever for good reason, Mr.  Gever will be entitled to receive severance benefits equal to eighteen months of his base salary.
Mr. Gever's receipt of the severance benefits discussed above is contingent on Mr. Gever signing and not revoking a release of claims against the Company.  The Employment Agreement also contains post-termination non-solicitation and non-competition covenants.
