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.

Such award shall be governed by the Stock Plan and a restricted stock unit award agreement between the Executive and ART. Subject to terms of the Stock Plan and the award agreement for the Restricted Stock Units, the Restricted Stock Units shall vest in equal one-third (1/3) installments on the second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant of such award, subject to the Executive’s continuous employment with the Company from the date of grant of such award through such vesting dates, except as otherwise provided in Section 7(b).
Restricted Stock Grant As a member of Employer’s senior management team, Employee will be eligible for annual Restricted Stock Grants pursuant to Anaren’s 2004 Comprehensive Long Term Incentive Plan, as amended (“2004 Plan”) equal in value to 16% of his Base Salary for the respective year. Restrictive Stock Grants will be made annually at the same time other Restricted Stock Grants are made by Anaren to its senior management team, provided Employee is employed with Employer on that date. All Restricted Stock grants issued pursuant to this provision will be subject to the terms of the 2004 Plan, including, but not limited to, a thirty-six (36) month forfeiture provision. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event Employee employment concludes on or after the expiration of the Period of Employment, Employee shall be entitled if the forfeiture period has not otherwise lapsed only to a pro rata portion of each unvested Restricted Stock Grant based on the number of months employed by Employer from the date of grant to the expiration of the Period of Employment date. In the way of example, if Employee has been employed for 18 months of the 36 month forfeiture period at the end of his Period of Employment, he will receive 50% of the Restricted Shares granted. If Employee remains employed by Employer on a full time basis (30 hours or more per week) after the Period of Employment as an at-will Employee, all previously issued restricted stock shall continue to vest in accordance with the terms of the 2004 Plan.
Stock Grant Subject to the terms of the Plan, a copy of which has been provided to the Employee and is incorporated herein by reference, the Company grants to the Employee _________ shares of the common stock of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions and restrictions set forth below. If at any time while this Agreement is in effect (or shares of common stock granted hereunder shall be or remain unvested while Employee’s employment continues and has not yet terminated or ceased for any reason), there shall be any increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company through the declaration of a stock dividend or through any recapitalization resulting in a stock split-up, combination or exchange of such shares, then the Committee shall make any adjustments it deems fair and appropriate (in view of such change) in the number of shares of common stock then subject to this Agreement. If any such adjustment shall result in a fractional share, such fraction shall be disregarded.
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 80% (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.
Equity Grants The Employee shall be granted as soon as practicable on or after the Effective Date, a stock option to purchase 734,900 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Option”) (which option shall be issued as an incentive stock option to the maximum extent allowed under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Code”)) pursuant to the Company’s 2011 Employee, Director and Consultant Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Option shall be granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Twenty-Five percent (25%) of the Option shall be vested one year from the Effective Date and the remaining portion of such Option shall vest in equal monthly installments over a thirty-six (36) month period commencing on the first day of the month one year following the Effective Date, subject to continued employment by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan) or if a termination of the Employee occurs within two (2) months prior thereto, then the vesting of all equity then owned by the Employee shall accelerate with respect to one hundred percent (100%) of the unvested shares. In lieu of the Option at the request of the Employee, the Company shall issue restricted common stock. Restricted common stock will be issued at par value. If the equity to be issued is restricted common stock and not stock options, the number of shares of restricted common stock to be issued shall be calculated by determining the black scholes value of the grant as if it had been issued solely as stock options and dividing such number by the then current fair market value of the Company’s common stock so as to provide no additional benefit to the Employee for the non-payment of the exercise price. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that effective as of the date of the grant of the equity as set forth in the preceding paragraph, option agreement No. SP-0040 granted by the Company to the Employee as of April 30, 2011 shall be terminated and of no further force and effect. The Company acknowledges that any other options previously granted to the Employee that vest based upon the Employee providing consulting services to the Company shall continue to vest upon its terms as long as the Employee is providing services as a director, consultant or employee of the Company and that the definition of “cause” applicable to all such option agreements shall be the definition set forth herein and not as set forth in the 2008 Stock Incentive Plan.
Stock Option Grant Subject to the provisions set forth herein and the terms and conditions of the Plan, and in consideration of the agreements of the Participant herein provided, the Company hereby grants to the Participant an Option to purchase from the Company the number of shares of Common Stock, at the exercise price per share, and on the schedule, set forth above.
