3. Compensation.

(a) Base Salary. Company shall pay Executive a base salary (the “Base Salary”) at the annual rate of three hundred and ninety thousand dollars ($390,000.00).

Company shall deduct from each such installment all amounts required to be deducted or withheld under applicable law or under any employee benefit plan in which Executive participates. The Board or an appropriate committee thereof shall review the Base Salary at least annually and may increase, but not decrease, the Base Salary, and the Base Salary shall be adjusted so as to maintain a positive difference of not less than 115% of the base salary of any other employee, officer, or consultant of Company.

(b) Annual Bonus. Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual bonus, which shall be payable in cash or equity as Executive and the Board mutually agree (the “Annual Bonus”). The amount and milestones for each year’s Annual Bonus shall be agreed to by Executive and the Board (or an appropriate committee thereof) no later than thirty (30) days prior to the beginning of the applicable year (or such later time as Company and Executive mutually agree in writing); and upon achievement of the milestones, the Annual Bonus shall be at least two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000). The Annual Bonus shall be paid to Executive as soon as administratively practicable after the end of, but in no event later than March 15^th of the calendar year immediately following, the calendar year in which it was earned. Company shall deduct from the Annual Bonus all amounts required to be deducted or withheld under applicable law or under any employee benefit plan in which Executive participates. For the current calendar year, Executive shall be eligible for the full amount of the Annual Bonus taking into account services rendered to Piezo prior to the Commencement Date, subject to the terms and conditions described above.

(c) [RESERVED]

(d) Paid Time Off. Executive shall be entitled to an annual paid vacation of five weeks each year, accruing monthly on a pro rata basis (or any greater number of days offered generally to executives of Company). Executive also shall be entitled to customary sick and personal leave time in accordance with Company policies then in effect, as may be amended from time to time.

(e) Benefits. Executive shall be entitled to participate in all benefit/welfare plans and fringe benefits provided to senior executives or Company, if and when Company offers such plans and benefits, subject to the terms of each applicable plan. Company shall not amend, modify or discontinue any benefit plans or fringe benefits without written approval of Executive or as may be required by applicable law. If Company does not have provide health benefits, long-term disability, short-term disability and/or life insurance (such life insurance to be in an amount of at least $5,000,000), Company shall reimburse Executive for the reasonable expenses Executive incurs in obtaining such benefits personally. Additionally, the Company shall reimburse you for the reasonable expenses incurred in connection with your obtaining an executive physical examination on an annual basis.

(f) Reimbursement of Expenses. Company shall reimburse Executive for all ordinary and reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses incurred by Executive in furtherance of Company’s business in accordance with Company’s policies with respect thereto as in effect from time to time. Such business expenses shall include reimbursement of payments of rent and associated office expenses in connection with Executive maintaining an office for Company in the region of Miami, Florida. Executive shall be entitled to travel in business class. Company shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable costs and expenses he incurs that are associated with his involvement with Company, including without limitation any associated legal and accounting costs and expenses.

(g) Indemnification. Executive shall be entitled to indemnification with respect to Executive’s services to Company pursuant to applicable law, the By-Laws and charter of Company, and any applicable directors and officers (“D&O”) liability insurance policy of Company. If not already obtained as of the date hereof, Company shall obtain, within thirty (30) days of the date hereof, from financially sound and reputable insurers D&O liability insurance policy in an amount of at least $10,000,000 and on terms and conditions satisfactory to Executive and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such insurance policy to be maintained until such time as Executive agrees in writing that such insurance should be discontinued. If any such D&O liability insurance policy is terminated, lapses or is not renewed for any reason, Company shall notify Executive in writing promptly (and in any event within two business days). If Executive is not already a party to an indemnification agreement with Company, Company and Executive shall enter into an Indemnification Agreement in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A.

(h) Information Rights. For so long as Executive owns 2% or more of the outstanding equity of Company, Company shall deliver to Executive:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any investor in or lender to Company obtains rights to receive information about Company that are more expansive or on terms more favorable to the recipient than the above, then Executive shall have the option in his sole discretion to receive the same such other information rights without regard to any status as a “Major Investor” or any other conditions, whether based on threshold shareholdings or otherwise.

4. Payments upon Termination.

(a) Definition of Accrued Obligations. For purposes of this Agreement, “Accrued Obligations” means the portion of Executive’s Base Salary that has accrued prior to any termination of Executive’s employment with Company and has not yet been paid, any Annual Bonus previously earned by Executive but not yet paid, any accrued and unused vacation or sick or personal leave, and the amount of any expenses properly incurred by Executive on behalf of Company prior to any such termination and not yet reimbursed. Executive’s entitlement to any other compensation or benefit under any plan of Company shall be governed by and determined in accordance with the terms of such plans, except as otherwise specified in this Agreement.

(b) Termination by Company for Cause, by Executive without Good Reason, or as a Result of Executive’s Disability or Death. If Executive’s employment hereunder is terminated by Company for Cause, by Executive without Good Reason, or as a result of Executive’s Disability or death, then Company shall pay the Accrued Obligations to Executive promptly following the effective date of such termination and shall not be eligible for payments or benefits described in Section 4(c) below.

(c) Termination by Company without Cause or by Executive For Good Reason. In the event that Executive’s employment is terminated by action of Company other than for Cause, Disability or death, or Executive terminates Executive’s employment for Good Reason, then, in addition to the Accrued Obligations, Executive shall receive the following:

(i) Severance Payments. Payment in an amount equal to Executive’s then-current Base Salary until such date that is the later of the (A) three (3) year anniversary of the date of the Commencement Date and (b) twelve (12) month anniversary of the effective date of such termination (the “Continuation Period”), less customary and required taxes and employment-related deductions, paid in one lump sum amount within thirty (30) days following the effective date of termination from employment, provided that if the 30th day falls in the calendar year following the year during which the termination or separation from service occurred, then the payment shall be made in such subsequent calendar year.

(ii) Severance Bonus. Payment of a severance bonus in an amount equal to a pro rata portion of the target Annual Bonus to which Executive may have been entitled for the year in which Executive’s employment terminates, less customary and required taxes and employment-related deductions, paid in one lump sum amount within thirty (30) days following the effective date of termination from employment, provided that if the 30th day falls in the calendar year following the year during which the termination or separation from service occurred, then the payment shall be made in such subsequent calendar year.

(iii) Acceleration of Vesting. All stock options, restricted stock and other equity issued or granted to, or purchased by, Executive that were subject to vesting shall immediately and automatically become fully vested and immediately exercisable.

(iv) Benefits Payments. Upon completion of appropriate forms and subject to applicable terms and conditions under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), Company shall continue to provide Executive health insurance coverage at no cost to Executive, until the earlier to occur of (A) the last day of the Continuation Period or (B) the date Executive elects to participate in the group health plan of another employer. Subject to Company’s obligation under COBRA to provide timely notice, Executive shall bear responsibility for applying for COBRA continuation coverage.

(d) Release Agreement. Company shall not be obligated to pay Executive the severance payments or benefits described in this Section 4 unless Executive has executed, no later than sixty (60) days following Executive’s separation from service, a release agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

(e) COBRA. If the payment of any COBRA or health insurance premiums by Company on behalf of Executive as described herein would otherwise violate any applicable nondiscrimination rules or cause the reimbursement of claims to be taxable under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, together with the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively, the “Act”) or Section 105(h) of the Code, the COBRA premiums paid by Company shall be treated as taxable payments (subject to customary and required taxes and employment-related deductions) and be subject to imputed income tax treatment to the extent necessary to eliminate any discriminatory treatment or taxation under the Act or Section 105(h) of the Code. If Company determines in its sole discretion that it cannot provide the COBRA benefits described herein under Company’s health insurance plan without potentially violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), Company shall in lieu thereof provide to Executive a taxable lump-sum payment in an amount equal to the sum of the monthly (or then remaining) COBRA premiums that Executive would be required to pay to maintain Executive’s group health insurance coverage in effect on the separation date for the remaining portion of the period for which Executive shall receive the payments described in Section 4(b) or 4(c) above.

5. Confidentiality; Inventions Assignment. In light of the competitive and proprietary aspects of the business of Company, and as a condition of employment hereunder, Company and Executive shall enter into a Confidentiality and Inventions Assignment Agreement in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit C.

6. Property and Records. Upon the termination of Executive’s employment hereunder, or if Company otherwise requests in writing, Executive shall: (i) return to Company all tangible business information and copies thereof, and (ii) deliver to Company any property of Company which may be in Executive’s possession, including, but not limited to, cell phones, smart phones, laptops, products, materials, memoranda, notes, records, reports or other documents or photocopies of the same; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 6 will not prohibit (A) retention of any documents relating to Executive’s compensation, benefits from or ongoing obligations to Company or any of its affiliates, including this Agreement and any exhibits, appendices or attachments, or (B) copies of any information reasonably required for tax preparation purposes and copies of any contacts, calendars and personal correspondence.

7. Taxation.

(a) The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with or otherwise be exempt from Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement will be interpreted to be either exempt from or in compliance therewith, so that it shall not cause adverse tax consequences for Executive with respect to Section 409A, and any successor statute, regulation and guidance thereto. Executive acknowledges and agrees that Company does not guarantee the tax treatment or tax consequences associated with any payment or benefit arising under this Agreement, including but not limited to consequences related to Section 409A.

(b) In the event that the payments or benefits set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement constitute “non-qualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A, then the following conditions apply to such payments or benefits:

(i) Any termination of Executive’s employment triggering payment of benefits under Section 4 of this Agreement must constitute a “separation from service” under Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code and Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(h) before distribution of such benefits can commence. To the extent that the termination of Executive’s employment does not constitute a separation of service under Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code and Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(h) (as the result of further services that are reasonably anticipated to be provided by Executive to Company at the time Executive’s employment terminates), any such payments under Section 4 of this Agreement that constitute deferred compensation under Section 409A shall be delayed until after the date of a subsequent event constituting a separation of service under Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code and Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(h). For purposes of clarification, this Section 7(b) shall not cause any forfeiture of benefits on Executive’s part, but shall only act as a delay until such time as a “separation from service” occurs.

(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision with respect to the timing of payments under Section 4 of this Agreement if, at the time of Executive’s termination, Executive is deemed to be a “specified employee” of Company (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code), then limited only to the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of Section 409A, any payments to which Executive may become entitled under Section 4 of this Agreement which are subject to Section 409A (and not otherwise exempt from its application) shall be withheld until the first (1^st) business day of the seventh (7^th) month following the termination of Executive’s employment, at which time Executive shall be paid an aggregate amount equal to the accumulated, but unpaid, payments otherwise due to Executive under the terms of Section 4 of this Agreement.

(c) It is intended that each installment of the payments and benefits provided under Section 4 of this Agreement shall be treated as a separate “payment” for purposes of Section 409A. Neither Company nor Executive shall have the right to accelerate or defer the delivery of any such payments or benefits except to the extent specifically permitted or required by Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall be interpreted and at all times administered in a manner that avoids the inclusion of compensation in income under Section 409A, or the payment of increased taxes, excise taxes or other penalties under Section 409A. The parties intend this Agreement to be in compliance with Section 409A.

(d) All reimbursements that would be considered nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A and provided under this Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A including, where applicable, the requirement that (i) any reimbursement is for expenses incurred during Executive’s lifetime (or during a shorter period of time specified in this Agreement); (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year; (iii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense shall be made no later than the last day of the calendar year following the year in which the expense is incurred; and (iv) the right to reimbursement or in kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

(e) If any payment or benefit Executive would receive under this Agreement, when combined with any other payment or benefit Executive receives pursuant to a change of control or sale of Company (for purposes of this Section 7(e), a “Payment”) would: (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G the Code; and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment shall be either: (A) the full amount of such Payment; or (B) such lesser amount as would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local employments taxes, income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in Executive’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the Payment notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. With respect to subsection (B), if there is more than one method of reducing the payment as would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax, then Executive shall determine which method shall be followed, provided that if Executive fails to make such determination within thirty (30) days after Company has sent Executive written notice of the need for such reduction, Company may determine the amount of such reduction in its reasonable discretion. The determination as to whether and to what extent payments under this Agreement or otherwise are required to be reduced in accordance with this Section 7(e) shall be made at Company’s expense by an nationally or regionally recognized accounting firm that both Executive and Company agree upon (the “Accountants”). In the event that any payments under this Agreement or otherwise are required to be reduced as described in this Section 7(e), the adjustment will be made, first, by reducing the cash severance, if any, due to the Executive pursuant to Section 4(c) and/or 4(e) of this Agreement, as applicable; and second, if additional reductions are necessary, by reducing the COBRA continuation benefits due to the Executive under Sections 4(c) of this Agreement, as applicable. In the event that there has been any underpayment or overpayment under this Agreement or otherwise as determined by the Accountants, the amount of such underpayment or overpayment shall forthwith be paid to the Executive or refunded to Company, as the case may be, with interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code.

8. Conflicting Agreements. Company acknowledges that Executive may have obligations to prior employers to safeguard and not use the confidential information of those companies and related matters.  Company expects Executive to honor such obligations and that Executive has not taken any documents, electronic information or any other confidential information from any previous employer, and that Executive has returned (or deleted if so instructed) such information.  Executive also acknowledges that Executive shall not use in the performance of Executive’s responsibilities for Company any proprietary business or technical information, materials or documents of a former employer, or otherwise disclose or use any former employer’s confidential information.  

9. General.

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered as follows with notice deemed given as indicated: (i) by personal delivery when delivered personally; (ii) by overnight courier upon written verification of receipt; or (iii) by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, upon verification of receipt.
