Retention Bonus

To encourage continued employment through the Company’s restructuring process, the Company entered into a

retention bonus agreement with Darren Horvath, the Company's controller and principal accounting officer on August 17, 2017.

Mr. Horvath will receive a retention bonus (the “Retention Bonus”) of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) should he

remain employed by the Company until December 31, 2017 (the “End Date”). The Retention Bonus will not be earned and will

not be paid if he (i) voluntarily terminates employment or (ii) is terminated by the Company for cause prior to the End Date. If

Mr. Horvaths’ employment is terminated by the Company without cause prior to the End Date, Mr. Horvath will be paid the

entire amount of the Retention Bonus.

The foregoing description of the Retention Bonus does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by

reference to the Retention Bonus letter agreement, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report

on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending July 1, 2017.
