Executive Employment Agreements

The Company is party to executive employment agreements with each of Dr. Harry Leider, our Chief Executive Officer, Ian T. Bothwell, our Chief Financial Officer, and Dr. Howard Golub, our Chief Science Officer.

Harry Leider, M.D.

Dr. Leider’s employment agreement provides for a base salary of $325,000 per year and the grant of an option under our 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) to purchase 285,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $2.40 per share (fair market value on the date of grant) (the “Leider Option”). The Leider Option vests in equal quarterly installments over a three-year period, contingent upon Dr. Leider’s continued employment with the Company and expires five years from the date of grant. The vesting of the Leider Option is accelerated in the event of a change in control of the Company (as described in the employment agreement) or if the Company achieves certain market cap valuations.

Dr. Leider is also be entitled to earn a commission of ten percent (10%) of the net profit (sales less cost of goods sold) generated by the sale of any of the Company’s biologic products sold directly by him solely from sources generated by him alone.

Dr. Leider’s employment with the Company is “At Will” meaning that his employment with the Company and his employment agreement may be terminated by the Company at any time, for any reason or for no reason at all and with or without “Cause” (as defined in the Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company terminates Dr. Leider’s employment without Cause or Dr. Leider terminates his employment with the Company for “Good Reason” (as defined in the Agreement), Dr. Leider will be entitled to receive an amount equal to one year’s salary as severance, less the value of the Leider Option as vested on the date of termination, as calculated by subtracting the market price for the shares underlying the option as of the date of termination, less the exercise price for such shares, provided further, that the combined amount of the severance payment and market value of the Leider Option shall not be less than $200,000. In such circumstance he will also be entitled to receive a pro-rated share of any bonus earned for the year in which the termination takes place.

Ian T. Bothwell

Mr. Bothwell’s executive employment agreement, as amended to date, provides for a term expiring on December 31, 2025, an annual base salary of $300,000 and specified expense reimbursement allowances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective November 30, 2022, Mr. Bothwell agreed to a reduction in his annual base salary to $150,000, with the reduction to remain in effect through such time that net revenues from operations are breakeven or as otherwise decided by the board of directors. There is no obligation of the Company to repay that portion of base salary that has been reduced during the salary reduction period. Beginning August 16, 2023, Mr. Bothwell’s annual base salary was increased to $200,000.

On February 9, 2023, Mr. Bothwell entered into a further amendment to the employment agreement, which provided For modification of the severance provisions to provide for payment of severance only upon a termination without cause with the amount of such severance to equal to one month’s base salary for each year of service. In addition, he agreed to repay approximately $44,600 of previously reimbursed expenses. In August 2023, the Company waived Mr. Bothwell’s obligation to repay the previously reimbursed expenses.

Howard Golub, M.D.

Dr. Golub’s employment agreement provides for a base salary of $150,000 per year. Dr. Golub will not be a full-time employee, but rather will devote such amount of his working time as the Company deems reasonably necessary to fulfill his duties thereunder (estimated to be approximately ½ his working time). Dr. Golub will perform his duties remotely from his residence, with travel, as required by his position. He will be permitted to continue serving as a Principal of Care-Safe, LLC.

Dr. Golub is also granted an option under the Incentive Plan to purchase 250,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $2.40 per share (fair market value on the date of grant) (“Golub Option”). The Golub Option vests in equal quarterly installments over a one-year period, contingent upon Dr. Golub’s continued employment with the Company and expires five (5) years from the date of grant.

Dr. Golub’s employment with the Company is “At Will” meaning that his employment with the Company and his employment agreement may be terminated by the Company at any time, for any reason or for no reason at all and with or without “Cause” (as defined in the Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company terminates Dr. Golub’s employment without Cause or Dr. Golub terminates his employment with the Company for “Good Reason” (as defined in the Agreement), Dr. Golub will be entitled to receive an amount equal to one year’s base salary as severance. He will also be entitled to receive a pro-rated share of any bonus earned for the year in which the termination takes place.

Each of the above agreements contains customary confidentiality and non-competition agreements.

2021 Plan

In September 2021, the Company adopted the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (“2021 Plan”). The 2021 Plan permits the grant of Incentive Stock Options, Nonstatutory Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Units, and Performance Shares (an “Award”) to any person who is an employee or director of, or consultant to the Company. The maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued pursuant to all Awards was 1,250,000 shares. On June 6, 2023, the Company’s board of directors and stockholders holding a majority of the Company’s voting power, approved an increase in the number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance under the Company’s 2021 Plan from 1,250,000 shares to 2,500,000 shares.

The 2021 Plan is administered by (a) the board of the directors of the Company; or (b) a committee designated by the board, which Committee shall be constituted in such a manner as to satisfy the applicable laws and to permit such grants and related transactions under the Plan to be exempt from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act in accordance with Rule 16b-3. Once appointed, such committee shall continue to serve in its designated capacity until otherwise directed by the board. The board of directors may at any time amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be made without the approval of the Company’s shareholders to the extent such approval is required by applicable laws.

As of October 31, 2023, a total of 900,500 shares of our common stock (net of 181,500 shares of our common stock redeposited for future issuance) that have been awarded under the 2021 Plan remain issued and outstanding.

Narrative Disclosure to the Director Compensation Table

Each of our non-executive directors will be party to a Director’s Service Agreement. Pursuant to that agreement, non-employee directors (other than Dr. Modi) will be compensated for their services by the annual issuance of warrants to acquire up to 5,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price equal to fair market value of the common stock as of the date of grant (the “Director Warrants”). The Director Warrants shall be exercisable for a period of ten (10) years from the date of grant and shall vest in equal monthly installments of 416.67 shares, subject to continued service by the director as a member of the board of directors. The agreement will also provide for indemnification of directors to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law.

It is contemplated that non-executive directors will be granted a comparable amount of Director Warrants or stock options for each year of service. The Company has not yet authorized or issued Director Warrants or stock options for the second year of service of its non-executive directors, which commenced on September 23, 2023.

Non-employee directors are also reimbursed for out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with attending meetings.

Due to our small size, we have not adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct that applies to our officers, directors and employees. We intend to adopt a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct in the near future as we grow our operations and hire additional employees.
