Mr. Carnecchia will be entitled to receive a guaranteed bonus for the Company&#8217;s fiscal year 2019 of not less than $190,000. Mr. Carnecchia will be eligible to participate in certain Company-sponsored benefits, such as health insurance plans, provided he meets the respective plan eligibility requirements. Under the Company&#8217;s reimbursement policies, he will be entitled to reimbursement of his reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred on Company business. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4), Mr. Carnecchia was granted (i) options (the &#8220;Options&#8221;) to purchase up to 172,179 shares of the Company&#8217;s common stock at an exercise price of $9.50 per share, the closing market price for a share of the Company&#8217;s common stock on the date of the grant and (ii) 94,738 shares of restricted common stock units (the &#8220;RSUs&#8221;), each as a material inducement to accept employment with the Company.

The obligations of Executive and rights of the Company pursuant to this Section 13 shall survive the termination of Executive&#8217;s employment under this Agreement.

The Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board.  Indemnitee may, within 10 days after such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the Company a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of &#8220;Independent Counsel&#8221; as defined in Section 13 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion.  Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel.  If a written objection is made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court has determined that such objection is without merit.  If, within 20 days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 6(a) hereof, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Indemnitee to the Company&#8217;s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the court or by such other person as the court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 6(b) hereof.  The Company shall pay any and all reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Counsel incurred by such Independent Counsel in connection with acting pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof, and the Company shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses incident to the procedures of this Section 6(c), regardless of the manner in which such Independent Counsel was selected or appointed.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;">(d)      </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person or persons or entity making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement.
