1.       Position. You will be employed in a full-time, exempt position as Chief Financial Officer and you will initially report to Jesse Sutton, Chief Executive Officer. Your anticipated start date of employment is August 29, 2022 (“Start Date”).

2.       Compensation. You will be paid a base salary of $125,000 per year, payable on the Company’s regular payroll dates, less applicable withholding deductions. As an exempt employee, your salary is intended to pay for all hours worked during each pay period.

3.       Employee Benefits. As a regular employee of the Company, you will be eligible to participate in any Company-sponsored benefits that may be offered from time to time, which may include health insurance coverage on the same terms and conditions as other executive employees of the Company. In addition, you will be entitled to paid vacation in accordance with the Company’s vacation policy, as in effect from time to time.

4.       Stock Options. Subject to the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors or its Compensation Committee and once the Company adopts an equity incentive plan, you will be granted an option to purchase 28,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $1.25 per share. You will vest in 25% of the option shares after 12 months of continuous service beginning with your Start Date, and the balance will vest in quarterly installments over the next 36 months of continuous service, as described in the applicable stock option agreement. The options will be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to options granted under the equity incentive plan, as described in that plan and the applicable stock option agreement, which shall govern in the event of any conflicts.

6.       Employment Relationship. Your employment with the Company will be “at will,” meaning that either you or the Company may terminate your employment at any time and for any reason, with or without cause. Employment with the Company is for no specific period of time. Any contrary representations which may have been made to you are superseded by this offer. This is the full and complete agreement between you and the Company on this term. Although your job duties, title, compensation and benefits, as well as the Company’s personnel policies and procedures, may change from time to time, the “at will” nature of your employment may only be changed in an express written agreement signed by you and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.
