In connection with Mr. Kim’s resignation, the Company entered into a separation agreement with Mr. Kim (the “Separation Agreement”), dated March 26, 2020. Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, Mr. Kim and the Company agreed that Mr. Kim’s resignation shall not be deemed with “Good Reason” and shall not be deemed a “Qualifying Termination” under that certain letter agreement regarding severance terms, dated November 3, 2015, among Mr. Kim and the Company, a copy of which has been previously filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. The Separation Agreement provides for (i) a $50,000 payment to Mr. Kim to be paid on the first regular payroll date that is at least fourteen (14) days after the effective date of a Release of Claims (defined below), and (ii) an extension of the exercise date of Mr. Kim’s vested options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock to March 27, 2022 (collectively, the “Separation Benefits”), provided that the Release of Claims has not been revoked, Mr. Kim has complied with all restrictive covenants contained in the Separation Agreement and Mr. Kim has complied with all other terms of the Separation Agreement and the Release of Claims.

In connection with the Separation Agreement, Mr. Kim also entered into a release with MSK whereby Mr. Kim released all claims he may have against MSK, the Company or their respective affiliates, subsidiaries, representatives and other related parties in exchange for the Separation Benefits and the other applicable severance benefits set forth in the Separation Agreement (the “Release of Claims”). Mr. Kim also entered into a consulting agreement whereby Mr. Kim has agreed to provide consulting services relating to his prior work with MSK for a period of 60 days from the date of his resignation, and will be compensated on an hourly basis for his consulting services.
