The Separation Agreement provides for (i) cash severance payments equal to twelve months of Mr. White’s base salary and twelve months of health care continuation coverage, and (ii) a lump-sum payment equal to Mr. White’s actual 2019 annual bonus. In exchange for such payments, Mr. White has provided the Company with a release of certain claims and agrees to certain restrictive non-solicitation covenants for 12 months.
