In addition, the Executive Chairman will serve as Chairman of the Board during the term of the Agreement, subject to normal governance procedures relating to Board membership. The Agreement may be terminated at any time by the Executive Chairman or the Company, with or without cause. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Executive Chairman is entitled to: (i) an annual base salary of not less than $600,000, (ii) participate in the Company’s employee benefits as they are generally available to the Company’s executive officers, and (iii) participate in the Company's annual non-equity incentive plan (with a 2022 annual performance bonus target of $1.4 million), on terms consistent with the Company’s other executive officers.
