Services Agreement

On August 7, 2018, the Company entered into a services agreement with Mr. Michael Brauser (the “Consultant”), a greater than 10% stockholder, pursuant to which, the Consultant will be providing recommendations on organizational and capital structure, future financing needs and future acquisitions or strategic transactions (“Services Agreement”), for a term of one year, automatically renewing for additional one-year periods unless either party provides written notice to the other of its intent not to renew not fewer than 30 days prior to the expiration of the then-current term. Under the Services Agreement, the Consultant receives cash compensation of $30 per month and is entitled to participate in the Company’s incentive compensation plan.

On February 16, 2021, the Company entered into a Separation Agreement (the "Separation Agreement") with the Consultant. Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, the parties have agreed that the Services Agreement expiring on August 6, 2021 (“Expiration Date”), will not be renewed, but will continue in force and effect until the Expiration Date and that the Consultant will not take any actions on behalf of the Company, including pursuant to the Services Agreement, unless specifically requested in writing by the Company. Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, the Consultant also agreed (i) to certain non-solicitation obligations contained therein, (ii) that he and his affiliates will not disparage or assist or cooperate with any person or entity seeking to publicly disparage or economically harm the Company, and (iii) that the Consultant and his affiliates will not initiate any lawsuit, claim, or proceeding with respect to any claims against the Company, except (with designated exceptions) for any legal proceeding initiated solely to remedy a breach of or to enforce the Separation Agreement.

With respect to each annual or special meeting of the Company's stockholders until the Expiration Date of the Separation Agreement, the Consultant has agreed to vote the shares of the Company's common stock or any other securities entitled to vote then held by him or his affiliates in accordance with the board of directors' recommendations on director proposals, provided there is a change in no more than 25% of the current directors (not including changes resulting from a director's death or resignation), and the ratification of the appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

The Company agreed (i) that the remaining unvested 166,666 RSUs previously granted to Consultant in accordance with the 2018 RSU agreement will continue to vest on July 1, 2021, in accordance with and subject to all other provisions and conditions of such grant, (ii) to amend the 2020 RSU agreement, previously granting Consultant 30,000 RSUs such that the 30,000 RSUs will continue to vest 33-1/3% on November 1, 2021, 66-2/3% on November 1, 2022, and 100% on November 1, 2023, without certain Company performance criteria, subject to all other provisions and conditions of such grant, (iii) to include shares of the Company's common stock held by the Consultant or his affiliates in any registration statement the Company files for the benefit of selling stockholders at any time when the Consultant or his affiliates beneficially own 10% or more of the Company's common stock, and (iv) to not initiate any lawsuit, claim, or proceeding with respect to any claims against the Consultant and his affiliates, except (with designated exceptions) for any legal proceeding initiated solely to remedy a breach of or to enforce the Separation Agreement. As a result of the modification to the 2020 RSU agreement, beginning February 16, 2021, the Company would recognize an aggregate of $723 in share-based compensation expense over the remaining service period which ends on the Expiration Date.

The Company recognized consulting service fees relating to the Services Agreement of a total of $90 during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and $180 during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. In addition, amortization of share-based compensation expense of $724 and $338 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $1,272 and $679 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, was recognized in relation to the RSUs previously granted to the Consultant.
