In addition, contingent upon a change in control (as defined in the 2020 Plan) within 90 days after the Separation Date, then Dr. Zinda shall be entitled to the change in control severance benefits provided pursuant to Section 5.7(c) of his employment agreement, as amended by the Amendment to Executive Employment Agreement, copies of which were filed as exhibits 10.12 and 10.32, respectively, to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (as so amended, the “Employment Agreement”).
