Item 5.02(e)   Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On February 15, 2019, the Company entered into a new employment agreement with Christopher T. Young, pursuant to which he will continue to serve as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. This agreement, effective as of January 1, 2019, replaces a similar agreement with Mr. Young, which agreement was entered into effective as of January 1, 2016.

The agreement with Mr. Young provides for an initial base salary of $551,565 per year for the term of his agreement, which ends on December 31, 2021. Mr. Young’s base salary may be increased in the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. In addition, Mr. Young is eligible to receive a discretionary annual bonus of up to 100% of his then-current base salary. He is also eligible for equity incentive grants under the Company’s equity incentive plans.

If Mr. Young’s employment is terminated by us without cause or by Mr. Young for good reason (including a change of control of the Company where Mr. Young is required to move the principal location where his job duties are based  outside the Los Angeles, California area), he will be entitled to receive all accrued salary and benefits through the date of termination, as well as a severance payment (the “Severance Payment”) equal to (i) Mr. Young’s then-current base salary, plus (ii) a prorated bonus amount equal to the product of: (A) the average annual bonuses received by Mr. Young for the two years preceding the year of such termination, multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days preceding such termination in the then-current calendar year, and the denominator of which is 365. In addition, after a change in control of the Company, if Mr. Young is not offered continued employment as chief financial officer of the surviving or acquiring entity or the Company terminates his employment at any time during the remainder of the term of the agreement for any reason other than for cause, he will be entitled to receive: (i) all accrued salary and benefits through the date of termination; (ii) the Severance Payment; (iii) immediate vesting of, and lapse of all restrictions applicable to, all unvested and outstanding time-based equity incentive grants; and (iv) vesting of all unvested and outstanding performance-based equity incentive grants, at such time and to the extent that any applicable performance-based criteria have been met under the terms of applicable award agreements as if Mr. Young had not terminated employment with the Company and with the lapse of all restrictions applicable to vesting based on the passage of time. If Mr. Young’s employment is terminated by us for cause, he will only be entitled to receive accrued salary and benefits through the date of termination and shall be ineligible for any bonus or other compensation.

The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the employment agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated herein by reference.
