Except as set forth below, you will not be eligible for the retention bonuses as set forth above if your employment terminates prior to such applicable anniversary. In the event of your Voluntary Termination for Good Reason (as defined below), the termination of your employment by the Company other than for Justifiable Cause, or in the event of your death or “permanent disability” as defined in the Company’s long-term disability policy (i) during the first twelve month period following the Acquisition Date, you will be eligible for a pro rata portion of the First Year Retention Bonus, counting full months of employment with the Company from the Acquisition Date through such termination, and (ii) during the second twelve month period following the Acquisition Date, you will be eligible for a pro rata portion of the Second Year Retention Bonus, counting full months of employment with the Company from the first anniversary of the Acquisition Date through such termination.

If the annual bonus payment for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2008 has not been paid to you or otherwise determined by the Company as of the date the prorated payment is due, the prorated payment shall be calculated using your target bonus amount for 2008. Payments under this Section 8 shall be net of any applicable withholding taxes. For purposes of this Section 8, “Voluntary Termination for Good Reason” shall have the same meaning as given to such term under the Key Employee Change in Control Severance Plan as in effect immediately prior to the Acquisition Date, but with respect to the First Year Retention Bonus only, determined without regard to clause (ii) thereof.”

Equity Grant Subject to approval by the Board and your execution of the Company’s standard form of Restricted Stock Agreement for executives (the “Restricted Stock Agreement”), you will be eligible to receive shares of the Company’s common stock under the Company’s 2017 Stock Option and Grant Plan (the “Plan”) equaling 15% of the Company’s outstanding common stock on a fully-diluted basis as of the grant date and after giving effect to the grant. If the Company closes Preferred Round on or prior to December 31, 2019 (and provided that you are still employed by the Company at the time of such closing), the Company shall issue you an additional award of restricted shares of Company common stock under the Plan in an amount such that, after giving effect to such additional issuance, you have been granted shares of common stock equal to 15% of the Company’s outstanding common stock on a fully-diluted basis upon closing of (and giving effect to) the Preferred Round. If the Preferred Round closes in multiple tranches (including tranches closed in the future, if initial closings of at least $3,000,000 occur by December, 2019), you will receive an additional award upon the closing of each tranche, in accordance with the foregoing. All shares of Company common stock granted to you shall be subject to repurchase and forfeiture as set forth in Restricted Stock Agreement, which shall provide that, subject to Section 6, the granted shares shall vest as follows: (i) 25% of the granted shares will vest on the three-month anniversary of the Commencement Date and (ii) thereafter, the remaining unvested shares will vest in equal quarterly installments over a three-year period, on the last day of each calendar quarter (i.e., March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31), commencing on September 30, 2018; provided, that upon a Sale Event (as defined in the Plan) all your then-unvested shares (to the extent not previously forfeited) shall vest. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company and the Board have reviewed and understands and accepts your academic and work experience, as the same has been provided to the Company by you. Accordingly, and assuming the accuracy of your academic and work experience, the definition of “Cause”, as applicable to any termination of your employment by the Company (whether under the Plan, your Restricted Stock Agreement or otherwise) shall not include, and shall not be triggered by, the Company’s or the Board’s assertion or belief that you lack requisite experience for your position. In addition to the foregoing equity grant, you shall be eligible for additional grants of Company common stock or options to acquire Company common stock at such time and on such terms as determined by the Company’s board of directors. You shall also receive pre-emptive rights permitting you to preserve your vested equity position in the Company in the event of any additional issuances of Company common stock (or securities convertible into common stock), at a per-share price equal to then current fair market value, as reasonably determined by the Board in good faith.
Annual Equity Grant During the first fiscal quarter of each year, or such other time as the Board, in its discretion, may determine, the Employee will receive an annual equity grant with a target value, measured as of the grant date, equal to the percentage of the Employee’s Salary determined by the Board or its designated committee, which for 2021 shall be 65% (the “Annual Equity Grant”). One-half of the Annual Equity Grant is expected to be in the form of restricted stock units or restricted share units with no performance restrictions or metrics associated with them, and which are expected to vest in three equal increments on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. The other one-half of the Annual Equity Grant is expected to be in the form of performance shares or performance restricted stock units, which will have Board-determined performance restrictions and metrics associated with them. The determination of how many of those performance shares or performance restricted stock units have been earned will be made by the Board on or about the first anniversary of the grant date, based on the financial performance of the Company during the prior fiscal year, and any performance shares or performance stock units deemed by the Board to be earned are expected to vest in two equal increments on or about each of the second and third anniversaries of the grant date. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the determination of whether and when to make any Annual Equity Grant to Employee, and the design, nature and amount of any such Annual Equity Grant, shall be determined by the Board in its discretion. All Annual Equity Grants to Employee shall be subject to the terms of the grant agreement between Employer and Employee. In the event of a Change of Control, the Board or its designated committee will determine the manner in which any unvested restricted shares, performance shares, restricted stock units or other unvested equity grants will be treated, with respect to the amount and timing of the vesting of such unvested equity, to the extent that the same is not already addressed in the terms of the applicable grant agreement between the Employer and Employee.
