The Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Montecalvo appointing him as Senior Vice President, Global Operations and Supply Chain effective September 26, 2016 (the "Employment Agreement"). Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Mr. Montecalvo will receive an annual base salary of $370,000.

Effective on the Commencement Date, Mr. Montecalvo received a long-term incentive plan ("LTIP") award with a grant date fair value of $300,000, 50% of which consisted of stock options and 50% of which consisted of performance share units ("PSUs").
