As condition of your further employment at DivX and your assumption of the title of Acting Chief Executive Officer of DivX as of July 24, 2007, you and DivX agree as follows:
(a) DivX will grant you a non-qualified stock option to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company, such options to vest over 4 years with a one year vesting cliff and then 1/48 per month for the succeeding 36 months, and to be granted and priced pursuant to the Board’s Option Grant Policy on the third full trading day after the Company’s next regular quarterly earnings release.
(b) DivX will grant you a stock award of 37,500 shares of common stock of the Company on the third full trading day after the public press release announcing your title of Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Company, the entirety of such stock award to vest immediately upon such grant date.
