Annual Equity Award. A person who is a Non-Employee Director immediately following each annual meeting of the Company's stockholders and who will continue to serve as a Non-Employee Director following such annual meeting shall be automatically granted on the second market trading day following the date of each such annual meeting a restricted share unit award with a grant date value equal to $160,000 (the "Annual Equity Award"). The Annual Equity Award shall vest on the earlier of the first anniversary date of the grant date or the date of the Company's next subsequent annual meeting of stockholders following the grant date.

Special Equity Award. In addition to the awards under [Section 5(b)], Employee will receive a special performance-based restricted stock award approved by the Compensation Committee at its July 11, 2016 meeting with a grant value of $2 million, containing such terms as the Compensation Committee shall provide; provided, that the award shall vest 50% on the third anniversary date of the award and 50% on the fourth anniversary date of the award. The award shall be subject to achievement of the following performance measure for the three-year performance period beginning June 1, 2016 and ending May 31, 2019 as set forth on [Exhibit A].

Deferral of Equity Award. Payment of the Annual Equity Award or any Pro-Rated Award will be deferred until the Non-Employee Director's separation from service, in accordance with the terms of the Deferred Fee Plan, unless otherwise required by applicable laws.

Equity. Executive has been granted options to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Options”), the terms of which shall continue to be governed in all respects by the governing plan documents, grant notices and stock option agreements. Executive shall be eligible to receive further stock grants and/or stock option awards in the sole discretion of the Board.

Equity. For each calendar year during the Term, Employee shall be eligible to receive an annual award of stock options or restricted stock as a merit incentive based on the growth in shareholder value and/or other goals established at the sole discretion of the Board and granted pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s incentive award plan and a written award agreement between the Company and Employee in a form approved by the Board. The amount, type of award, exercise price if applicable and vesting period shall be at the sole discretion of the Board (excluding Employee, if then a Board member). The Parties acknowledge and agree that the annual equity award for the 2016 calendar year was the February 29, 2016 grant to Employee of an option for the purchase of 144,000 shares of the Company’s outstanding voting common stock.

Equity. As full and complete consideration for performing the Services, the Company shall # if you decide to join the Company’s Board of Directors, recommend at the first meeting of the Company’s Board of Directors following your election as a Director, that the Company grant you an option to purchase 120,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a price per share equal to the fair market value per share of the Common Stock on the date of grant, as determined by the Board of Directors (the “Option”). The shares subject to the Option shall vest twenty-five percent on July 31, 2014 and then in equal monthly amounts thereafter over the following thirty (30) months subject to your continuing service with the Company through each vesting date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a successor or acquiring corporation in a change in control does not substitute, convert, exchange or replace the unvested portion of the Option with interests in the successor or acquiring corporation’s incentive compensation plan that are comparable in value to and that have substantially similar rights, preferences and privileges and restrictions of the unvested portion of the Option, the vesting of the unvested portion of the Option shall accelerate, and such shares shall become fully vested on the effective date of such change in control. In addition, if a change in control occurs the vesting of 50% (fifty-percent) of the remaining unvested portion of the Option, if any, shall accelerate immediately. If a change in control triggers accelerated vesting of the Option, the remainder of the unvested Option will continue to vest subject to the Director continuing to provide services as a Director over the term of the Option. The Option shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan and individual stock option agreement thereunder. No right to any stock is earned or accrued until such time that vesting occurs, nor does the grant confer any right to continue vesting or service with the Company.

Equity. The Parties hereby confirm that the Executive is the holder of certain equity awards granted under the Company's Third Amended and Restated 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") with respect to Company common stock (the "Equity Awards"). Provided that such Equity Awards continue to remain outstanding as of the Spin-off Effective Date, and provided that the Executive has been in continuous service to the Company, either as a consultant pursuant to Section 7 below or as an employee through the Spin-off Effective Date, the Company will take such action as is necessary to convert the Equity Awards into equity awards with respect to Spinco common stock, preserving the terms of all such Equity Awards, provided that the number of shares of common stock issuable pursuant thereto and, if applicable, the exercise price, will be adjusted to preserve the economic value of such Equity Awards as of immediately prior to the effectiveness of the spin-off, and, provided, further, that such Equity Awards will continue to vest on the same vesting schedule as in effect as of immediately prior to the effectiveness of the spin-off, except that the vesting and, if applicable, exercisability, of such Equity Awards will be subject to the continued service of the Executive with Spinco as of immediately after the effectiveness of the spin-off. For the avoidance of doubt, Executive shall not be entitled to any further grant of Equity Awards in connection with the Company's March 2016 Equity Award grants.
