Manufacturing Officer:
• an increase in Mr. Olson's base salary from $420,000 to $450,000, which
increase shall be retroactively effective as of March 1, 2022;
• an increase in the previously granted award opportunity to Mr. Olson under the
Company's short-term cash incentive program ("STIP") from 70% of Mr. Olson's
base salary to 85%, for a total potential award of $382,500; and
• the additional grant to Mr. Olson of a long-term incentive award on May 20,
2022, of $350,000, consisting in equal parts of performance-based restricted
