Pursuant to the amended and restated employment agreement, Mr. Herrmann will continue to serve as the Company&#8217;s President and Chief Executive Officer and continue to receive an annual base salary of $500,000. With respect to fiscal year 2025 and each fiscal year of Mr. Herrmann&#8217;s employment thereafter, Mr. Herrmann will be eligible to earn (i) a cash bonus with a target bonus percentage equal to 50% (up to a maximum of 75%) of his base salary, and (ii) a restricted stock unit award with a target value of $150,000 (up to a maximum value of $300,000), which shall vest in equal quarterly installments over a three-year period, subject to Mr. Herrmann&#8217;s continuous service (as defined in the Company&#8217;s 2019 Equity Incentive Plan) as of each such vesting date. In addition, as soon as practicable following the beginning of each fiscal year, Mr. Herrmann will be eligible to receive a stock option award with a cash value of $300,000, which shall vest in equal quarterly installments over a three-year period, subject to Mr. Herrmann&#8217;s continuous service as of each such vesting date. The housing previously provided for Mr. Herrmann in the Longmont, Colorado area will terminate on August 31, 2024. If Mr. Herrmann&#8217;s employment is terminated without cause or he resigns for good reason (each as defined in the employment agreement), he will be entitled to receive continuation of his base salary for three months. If Mr. Herrmann&#8217;s employment with the Company terminates due to his voluntary retirement after attaining the age of 65, he will be entitled to the full acceleration and exercisability of all unvested shares subject to any outstanding stock option or restricted stock unit award, and any then-outstanding stock options will remain exercisable until 12 months after said termination date. The remaining terms and conditions of Mr. Herrmann&#8217;s employment agreement remain substantially unchanged.</span></p>

On June 28, 2024, and effective as of July 1, 2024, the Company entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Mr. Herrmann. Pursuant to the amended and restated employment agreement, Mr. Herrmann will continue to serve as the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer and continue to receive an annual base salary of $500,000. With respect to fiscal year 2025 and each fiscal year of Mr. Herrmann's employment thereafter, Mr. Herrmann will be eligible to earn (i) a cash bonus with a target bonus percentage equal to 50% (up to a maximum of 75%) of his base salary, and (ii) a restricted stock unit award with a target value of $150,000 (up to a maximum value of $300,000), which shall vest in equal quarterly installments over a three-year period, subject to Mr. Herrmann's continuous service (as defined in the Company's 2019 Equity Incentive Plan) as of each such vesting date. In addition, as soon as practicable following the beginning of each fiscal year, Mr. Herrmann will be eligible to receive a stock option award with a cash value of $300,000, which shall vest in equal quarterly installments over a three-year period, subject to Mr. Herrmann's continuous service as of each such vesting date. The housing previously provided for Mr. Herrmann in the Longmont, Colorado area will terminate on August 31, 2024. If Mr. Herrmann's employment is terminated without cause or he resigns for good reason (each as defined in the employment agreement), he will be entitled to receive continuation of his base salary for three months. If Mr. Herrmann's employment with the Company terminates due to his voluntary retirement after attaining the age of 65, he will be entitled to the full acceleration and exercisability of all unvested shares subject to any outstanding stock option or restricted stock unit award, and any then-outstanding stock options will remain exercisable until 12 months after said termination date. The remaining terms and conditions of Mr. Herrmann's employment agreement remain substantially unchanged.
