The Agreement replaces and supersedes Mr.&#160;McClymont&#8217;s prior employment agreement with the Company dated June&#160;6, 2016 and subsequently amended to extend the term of Mr.&#160;McClymont&#8217;s employment on each of August&#160;2, 2019, October&#160;21, 2019 and December&#160;5, 2019. The Agreement provides for a three-year employment term, effective from August&#160;8, 2019 (the &#8220;Effective Date&#8221;), unless earlier terminated (the &#8220;Term&#8221;).</p> <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:12pt">Pursuant to the Agreement, during the Term, Mr.&#160;McClymont will receive an annual base salary of $750,000, and is eligible to receive discretionary annual cash incentive bonuses with a target amount equal to 80% of his base salary, with the potential to overachieve, based upon the achievement of performance goals.</p> <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:12pt">The Agreement also contemplates grants of annual equity awards for each of 2020, 2021 and 2022, with an aggregate grant date fair market value equal to $1.45&#160;million, each annual equity award to be granted around the same time that awards are generally granted to other senior executives, provided that Mr.&#160;McClymont remains employed by the Company on each annual grant date. The annual equity awards will be comprised of a mix of equity vehicles consistent with those provided to other similarly situated executives, including performance stock units and restricted stock units, and will be subject to the Company&#8217;s standard vesting schedule. Upon termination of employment for any reason, any annual equity awards that remain ungranted will be forfeited without any compensation to Mr.&#160;McClymont. Mr.&#160;McClymont will also be entitled to executive fringe benefits comparable to those of other Company executive officers as described in the Company&#8217;s annual proxy statement, and life insurance, charitable contributions and reimbursement of tax, legal and accounting services.</p> <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:12pt">If during the Term Mr.&#160;McClymont&#8217;s employment is terminated without cause, or he resigns for good reason, the Company will continue to pay Mr.&#160;McClymont his annual base salary and benefits he received during his employment (including certain fringe benefits) for a period equal to&#160;fourteen&#160;(14)&#160;months (the &#8220;Severance Period&#8221;). In addition, Mr.&#160;McClymont will be paid any earned but unpaid bonus for the year prior to the year of termination, as well as a <span style="white-space:nowrap">pro-rated</span> bonus for the year of termination and his target bonus for the Severance Period.</p> <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:12pt">With respect to Mr.&#160;McClymont&#8217;s equity awards, upon a termination of employment by the Company without cause or by Mr.&#160;McClymont for good reason, any unvested stock options, performance stock units and restricted stock units granted to Mr.&#160;McClymont will continue to vest throughout the Severance Period in accordance with their vesting schedules, and in the case of performance stock units, subject to the achievement of the applicable performance conditions; and if such termination without cause or for good reason occurs within twenty-four (24)&#160;months of a change in control, Mr.&#160;McClymont&#8217;s outstanding equity will be treated in accordance with the terms of the awards as provided in the governing plan and award agreement. If, within twenty-four (24)&#160;months of a change in control, Mr.&#160;McClymont&#8217;s employment is terminated on the natural end date of August&#160;8, 2022 without renewal, then (a)&#160;all outstanding options and restricted stock units will be accelerated and (b)&#160;all outstanding performance stock units will vest according to achievement of performance conditions. Any performance stock units that remain unvested will be automatically forfeited.</p> <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:12pt">Mr.&#160;McClymont has agreed to restrictive covenants, including confidentiality and <span style="white-space:nowrap">non-competition</span> covenants, substantially similar to those agreed to by other senior executives of the Company.</p> <div></div> <p style="margin-top:0"></p> <div> <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;text-align:center;font-size:10pt;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt">2</p> <div></div></div></div> <p style='page-break-before:always'></p> <hr style="color:#999999;height:3px;width:100%" /> <div style="font-size:10pt;width:8.5in;margin:0 auto"> <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-weight:bold;text-align:center;font-size:10pt;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt">SIGNATURES</p> <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;text-align:left;text-indent:4%;font-size:10pt;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:12pt">Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.</p>
