The agreement for Mr. Stolk: (i) terminates his Change of Control Severance Agreement; and (ii) amends his existing employment contract under Swiss law to provide for a nine-month notice period, in place of his current three-month notice period, during which Mr. Stolk could continue his employment with the Company and would continue to receive his standard salary and bonus compensation, equity vesting and other benefits during that continued employment period.
