On the first Trading Day immediately following each Annual Meeting of the Company’s stockholders (an “Annual Meeting”) that occurs after the Effective Date, each Outside Director who has been serving as an Outside Director for at least six (6) months as of the date of such Annual Meeting automatically will be granted an award of Options (an “Annual Award”) to purchase a number of Shares having a Value of $379,000, with any resulting fraction rounded down to the nearest whole Share. Each Annual Award will be scheduled to vest on the earlier of # the one-year anniversary of the date the Annual Award is granted or # the day prior to the date of the Annual Meeting next following the date the Annual Award is granted, in each case, subject to the Outside Director continuing to be Service Provider through the applicable vesting date.

Initial Award. Each Non-Employee Director who is initially elected or appointed to the Board shall be granted, on the date of such initial election or appointment, either # an option to purchase the Company’s common stock (each, an “Initial Option”) having an aggregate Grant Date Fair Value (as defined below) in an amount determined by the Board, with any partial shares that result being rounded down to the nearest whole share or # a number of restricted stock units (the “Initial RSUs” and together with the Initial Option, the “Initial Award”) determined by dividing the aggregate value of the Initial RSUs as determined by the Board by the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Equity Plan) of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, with any partial shares that result being rounded down to the nearest whole share. No Non-Employee Director shall be granted more than one Initial Award. “Grant Date Fair Value” shall mean, with respect to an Initial Option, the per share fair value of the Initial Option determined as of the Initial Option’s date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that the Company most recently used in preparing its (audited or unaudited) consolidated financial statements that have been filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (“Financial Statements”) and using as inputs into such model # the Fair Market Value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the Initial Option’s date of grant and # such other assumptions as were reported by the Company |

Award Agreement. Each grant of Restricted Shares shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement, which shall specify the Restrictions and the Period(s) of Restriction, the number of Restricted Shares granted, and such other provisions as the Board shall determine. The Board may impose such Restrictions on any Restricted Shares as it may deem advisable, including Restrictions based upon the achievement of specific performance goals (Company-wide, divisional, Subsidiary or individual), time-based Restrictions on vesting or Restrictions under applicable securities laws; provided that in all cases, the Restricted Shares shall be subject to a minimum one-year vesting period, except, if as provided in the Award Agreement, in the event of death, disability, retirement or Mandatory Retirement, or Termination of Affiliation by the Company other than for Cause. For purposes of this minimum one-year vesting period requirement, a one-year vesting period will include an approximate one-year period beginning on each regular annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders and ending on the date of the next regular annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders (a "Director's Compensation Year").

The Participant’s manager is responsible for determining whether the Participant has met the Award qualifiers and other terms of the Plan, prior to providing an Award recommendation. The Award recommendation should be primarily based on the performance of the Participant (including but not limited to risk performance) and in consideration of the performance of the line of business and the Company.

Retention Award. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Executive will receive a one-time retention award of restricted stock with a grant date fair value of $1,900,000 (the “Retention Award”), which will vest and become unrestricted 20% per year on each of the first through the fifth anniversaries of the Closing, subject to Executive’s continued employment with the Company through each applicable vesting date, unless earlier vested upon a qualifying termination event provided for in [Sections 5.2, 5.3, or 5.4]4]4]. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Retention Award will be granted in lieu of any cash severance amounts that Executive would have been entitled to receive upon any qualifying termination of employment under that certain Change in Control Agreement entered into by and between Executive and Flagstar effective as of August 1, 2020 (the “Flagstar Change in Control Agreement”), and any other severance plans or programs of Flagstar or the Company, and Executive hereby expressly waives all rights to any payments and/or benefits under the Flagstar Change in Control Agreement, and any other such plans or programs.
