of the Company: (i) Mr. Alan B. Miller's base salary will be reduced by 100% for
the two-month period from June 1, 2020 through July 31, 2020, and; (ii) the base
salaries for Messrs. Marc D. Miller, Steve G. Filton, Marvin G. Pember and

hardships caused by COVID-19 on certain of the Company's employees and their
families, and to consider disbursement of funds to those employees that are most
in need of financial assistance.
