“Incentive Period” means the period beginning on, in the case of non-interested persons, the Closing Date and, in the case of interested persons, the later of (i) the Closing Date and (ii) the date when the obligations of the Company hereunder are approved by the requisite majority of shareholders of the Company if such shareholder approval is required under applicable Laws, and, in each case terminating on the third anniversary of the Closing Date.

2. Incentive Trigger. Subject to the terms of the 2022 HUB Management Incentive Plan described in Section 4 and the Services Requirements described in Section 5, if, during the Incentive Period, the VWAP of the Company Shares on Nasdaq for any period of at least 10 trading days (which may or may not be consecutive) out of 20 consecutive trading days is greater than 180% of the Company Share Value (such price the “Incentive Target” and such occurrence, the “Trigger”), the Company shall promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days of the date of Trigger) issue to the Recipient the Incentive Shares for no consideration.
3. Acceleration Event; Change of Control Transaction.
(a) In the event, during the Incentive Period and prior to the Trigger, there is a Change of Control Transaction that will result in the holders of Company Shares receiving a Change on Control Consideration equal to or greater than the Incentive Target, immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control Transaction, (i) the Trigger shall be deemed to have occurred and (ii) the Company shall promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days from the consummation of such Change of Control Transaction) issue the Incentive Shares to the Recipient.

If the Change of Control Consideration paid or payable to the holders of Company Shares in connection with the first Company Change of Control to occur during the Incentive Period and prior to the Trigger is less than the Incentive Target, then (i) the Trigger shall not be deemed to have occurred and (ii) no Incentive Shares shall be issuable to the Recipient.
