On June 15, 2016, the Company entered into a Severance Agreement with Mark W. Wright, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, in connection with his departure from the Company (the “Wright Severance Agreement”). Additionally, on June 15, 2016, the Company entered into a Severance Agreement with Cathy L.

As previously reported Mr. Wright’s last day of employment with the Company is June 17, 2016 (the “Wright Severance Date”). Ms. Lewis’ last day of employment with the Company was June 10, 2016 (the “Lewis Severance Date”).
The Severance Agreements become irrevocable on June 22, 2016.
In consideration of Mr. Wright’s release of all claims he may have against the Company, if any, and for his covenants in the Wright Severance Agreement including, without limitation, his covenant to maintain Company information as confidential; his agreement to not compete with the Company and not to solicit customers or employees of the Company for a period of twelve months following the Wright Severance Date; and to not disparage the Company, the Company will provide Mr. Wright with a severance package including, among other items, (i) payment of an amount equal to his annual base salary of $416,000, payable in equal installments over twelve months, less all required withholdings and taxes, (ii) payment for unused vacation time accrued prior to the Wright Severance Date, (iii) reimbursement of up to an aggregate of $100,000 during the twelve month period following the Wright Severance Date related to moving and relocation expenses, (iv) a 2016 cash bonus in accordance with the Company’s Management By Objectives bonus program, if any, to be calculated on a pro-rata basis through the Wright Severance Date based on achievement of the Company’s corporate goals as determined by management of the Company and approved by the Company’s Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, (v) continued payment of a portion of the premiums associated with the Company’s group health plan, as paid by the Company for all other employees of the Company, for a period of twelve months from the Wright Severance Date, (vi) the repurchase of 27,209 restricted shares of Company common stock for $1.00 per share and the vesting of 32,791 restricted shares of Company common stock previously granted to Mr. Wright under the 2004 Incentive Stock Plan pursuant to the First Amendment, dated June 15, 2016, to the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement, dated October 27, 2014, by and between the Company and Mr. Wright (the “Wright First Amendment to 2004 Restricted Stock Award Agreement”), and (vii) the acceleration of 15,839 restricted shares of Company common stock previously granted to Mr. Wright under the 2015 Incentive Stock Plan of the Company pursuant to the First Amendment, dated June 15, 2016, to the Restricted Stock Award Agreement, dated November 13, 2015, by and between the Company and Mr. Wright (the “Wright First Amendment to 2015 Restricted Stock Award Agreement”).
