The separation constitutes a termination without “cause” under the Employment Agreement entered into between the Company and Mr. Kunz dated April 8, 2022 (the “Employment Agreement”) and, as a result, Mr. Kunz is expected to receive severance payments and benefits in accordance with the terms and conditions of his Employment Agreement (except that the continued salary portion of his severance payments is expected to be paid in a lump sum instead of over a period of 12 months in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practice), subject to his execution and non-revocation of a separation and release agreement.
