Amendment and Restatement of Notes

On December 4, 2020, the Company signed a Master Revolving Note (the “Note”) with Comerica Bank (the “Bank”) in the amount of up to $9,000,000. The Note amends, restates, supersedes and replaces (i) that certain Master Revolving Note originally dated as of December 9, 2017, as amended, in the amount of $2,900,000, and (ii) that certain Single Payment Note originally dated as of December 20, 2019, as amended, in the amount of $2,100,000. The Note has a maturity date of December 1, 2021, with interest thereon at a per annum rate equal to the “Prime Referenced Rate” plus the “Applicable Margin.” The “Prime Referenced Rate” means, for any day, a per annum interest rate which is equal to the “Prime Rate” in effect on such day, but in no event and at no time shall the “Prime Referenced Rate” be less than the sum of the Daily Adjusting LIBOR rate for such day plus 2.5% per annum. “Prime Rate” means the per annum rate established by the Bank as its prime rate for its borrowers at any such time.

Pursuant to the Note, the Bank may, by written notice to the Company, declare the principal of and the accrued interest on all outstanding loans to be forthwith due and payable upon the occurrence of certain events of default. The Note defines “default” to include, inter alia, (i) a default in payment when due of all or any part of any obligation payable by the Company under the Note, (ii) a default in the observance or performance of certain of the provisions set forth in the Note, (iii) any representation or warranty made in connection with the Note proves untrue or incomplete, (iv) the filing or issuance of any levy or writ of attachment or garnishment or other like judicial process upon the Company or any guarantor, and (v) any other specified event of default.

Guaranty of the Note has been made by four members of the Company’s board of directors (“Guarantors”). The Company agreed to issue the four Guarantors shares of the Company’s common stock on a monthly basis depending on the outstanding balance due and owing under the Note for agreeing to act as a Guarantor. As a condition to the Bank entering into the Note, and as an additional guaranty for the amounts due and owing under the Note, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Neil Leibman, entered into a Liquidity Maintenance Agreement with the Bank whereby Mr. Leibman agreed to maintain a certain level of assets with the Bank while the Note is outstanding. In consideration for such additional guaranty, the Company agreed to issue Mr. Leibman 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Guaranty Shares”). The Guaranty Shares were issued in reliance upon an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Company’s reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act was based in part upon the following factors: (a) the issuance of the securities was in connection with an isolated private transaction which did not involve any public offering; (b) there were a limited number of

offerees; (c) there were no subsequent or contemporaneous public offerings of the securities by the Company; (d) Mr. Leibman made certain representations to the Company relating to his investment intent, that he was acquiring the securities for his own account and not for the accounts of others; and (e) the negotiations for the sale of the securities took place directly between Mr. Leibman and the Company.

The foregoing summary of the terms of the Note is qualified in its entirety by the actual terms of the Note, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Employment Agreement of Jaleea P. George; Issuance of Options

On January 22, 2020, the Company entered into a new employment agreement (the “George Agreement”) with Jaleea P. George to serve as Secretary, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) of the Company. Ms. George will continue to report to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and will have duties and responsibilities assigned by the Board. The Company may terminate Ms. George’s employment under the George Agreement without cause at any time on thirty days’ advance written notice, at which time Ms. George would receive severance pay for six (6) months.

By agreement of the parties, the George Agreement is effective as of January 1, 2021, has a term of one (1) year, and provides for an annual base salary of $200,000 for the term of the George Agreement. Ms. George will also receive the customary employee benefits paid by the Company. Concurrent with the execution of the George Agreement, Ms. George was granted an option to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $1.50 per share, subject to adjustment based on the price per share quoted on the OTC Markets on the date of grant (the “George Signing Option”), which vested immediately upon the grant thereof. Ms. George is also eligible to receive additional options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock if certain Company performance metrics are achieved each calendar quarter throughout the term of the George Agreement (the “George Quarterly Options,” and together with the George Signing Option, the “George Options”). The George Quarterly Options, when and if granted, will have an exercise price equal to the greater of (i) the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and (ii) $1.50 per share. The George Options will be granted independent of, and not pursuant to, the Company’s 2018 Stock Option and Stock Award Plan, or any other stock option and stock award plan.

The George Signing Option was issued in reliance upon an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Company’s reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act was based in part upon the following factors: (a) the issuance of the securities was in connection with an isolated private transaction which did not involve any public offering; (b) there were a limited number of offerees; (c) there were no subsequent or contemporaneous public offerings of the securities by the Company; (d) Ms. George made certain representations to the Company relating to her investment intent, that she was acquiring the securities for her own account and not for the accounts of others; and (e) the negotiations for the sale of the securities took place directly between Ms. George and the Company.

The Company may terminate Mr. Leibman’s employment under the Leibman Agreement without cause at any time on thirty days’ advance written notice, at which time Mr. Leibman would receive severance pay for six (6) months. By agreement of the parties, the Leibman Agreement is effective as of January 1, 2021, has a term of one (1) year, and provides for an annual base salary of $250,000 for the term of the Leibman Agreement. Mr. Leibman will also receive the customary employee benefits paid by the Company. Concurrent with the execution of the Leibman Agreement, Mr. Leibman was granted an option to purchase 75,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with a strike price of $1.50 per share, subject to adjustment based on the price per share quoted on the OTC Markets on the date of grant (the “Leibman Signing Option”), which vested immediately upon the grant thereof. Mr. Leibman is also eligible to receive additional options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock if certain Company performance

metrics are achieved each calendar quarter throughout the term of the Leibman Agreement (the “Leibman Quarterly Options,” and together with the Leibman Signing Option, the “Leibman Options”). The Leibman Quarterly Options, when and if granted, will have an exercise price equal to the greater of (i) the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and (ii) $1.50 per share. The Leibman Options will be granted independent of, and not pursuant to, the Company’s 2018 Stock Option and Stock Award Plan, or any other stock option and stock award plan.

The Leibman Signing Option was issued in reliance upon an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Company’s reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act was based in part upon the following factors: (a) the issuance of the securities was in connection with an isolated private transaction which did not involve any public offering; (b) there were a limited number of offerees; (c) there were no subsequent or contemporaneous public offerings of the securities by the Company; (d) Mr. Leibman made certain representations to the Company relating to his investment intent, that he was acquiring the securities for his own account and not for the accounts of others; and (e) the negotiations for the sale of the securities took place directly between Mr. Leibman and the Company.
