Section 2. Stock Appreciation Right Award.
(a) The Award. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and to the provisions of the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Participant, on the Grant Date, a SAR covering 657,542 shares of Common Stock, having a base price (the “Base Price”) per share of Common Stock equal to $1.75 (the “Award”). The Award is subject to the transfer and forfeiture restrictions described herein and in the Plan and shall vest and become exercisable in accordance with Sections 3 and 4 hereof.
(b) Incorporation by Reference, Etc. The provisions of the Plan are hereby incorporated herein by reference. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, and in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control.
Section 3. Vesting. The Award shall become vested as follows:
(a) Time-Based Vesting. Ten percent (10%) of the Award shall become vested on each of August 31, 2012, August 31, 2013, August 31, 2014, August 31, 2015 and August 31, 2016, in each case, subject to the Participant’s continued employment with the Company on the applicable vesting date.
(b) Liquidity-Event Vesting. To the extent outstanding and unvested, the Award shall become fully vested immediately prior to the occurrence of a Liquidity Event provided that one of the two following conditions is satisfied: (i) the Participant is employed by the Company on the date of such Liquidity Event; or (ii) if such Liquidity Event is a Change in Control, the Participant’s employment is terminated without Cause or for Good Reason, in either case, after the date on which a letter of intent relating to the Change in Control that is binding with respect to exclusivity has been executed and the Change in Control that is the subject of such letter of intent is consummated within 180 days after the date of such termination of employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the EOY Per Share Value upon the occurrence of a Liquidity Event is not greater than $1.75, then no portion of the Award shall become vested in connection with such Liquidity Event and the entire Award (whether or not vested) shall be immediately forfeited with no consideration due the Participant in respect thereof. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event of a Change in Control in which the Award would not be forfeited pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, cancel the vested portion of the Award for an amount equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the vested portion of the Award and (y) the difference between the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock as of the date of such Change in Control and the Base Price per share.
(c) Certain Forfeitures. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event that a Liquidity Event has not occurred as of August 31, 2017, the entire Award (whether or not vested) shall be immediately forfeited with no consideration due the Participant in respect thereof.
Section 4. Exercise and Settlement. The Award, to the extent vested, shall become exercisable immediately prior to the occurrence of a Liquidity Event and shall thereafter remain exercisable until the Expiration Date. Upon the exercise of the Award, the Participant shall be entitled to receive a number of shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the product of (x) the difference between the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the date of exercise and the Base Price and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the SAR is then being exercised; provided, however, that cash shall be provided in lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock. To exercise the Award, the Participant must provide written notice to the Company of such exercise, specifying the number of shares with respect to which the Award is being exercised, and the Participant must make arrangements to pay all applicable withholding taxes in accordance with Section 8 hereof.
Section 5. Termination of Employment.
(a) Termination for Cause. In the event that the Participant’s employment is terminated for Cause, the entire Award (whether or not vested) shall be immediately forfeited by the Participant with no consideration due the Participant in respect thereof.
(b) Termination other than for Cause. In the event that the Participant’s employment is terminated for any reason other than for Cause, the portion of the Award that is unvested as of the date of such termination shall be immediately forfeited with no consideration due the Participant in respect thereof and, except as otherwise provided in Section 1(d) of the Employment Agreement, the portion of the Award that is vested as of the date of such termination shall remain outstanding and shall be eligible to become exercisable in accordance with Section 4 hereof to the extent unexercisable as of such termination or shall remain exercisable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the extent exercisable as of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant’s employment is terminated without Cause or for Good Reason, and in either case, at the time of such termination of employment, the Company has executed a letter of intent relating to a Change in Control that is binding with respect to exclusivity, then the unvested portion of the Award shall not be forfeited upon such termination of employment and shall be eligible to become vested in accordance with Section 3(b) hereof; provided, however, that if the Change in Control that is the subject of such letter of intent is not consummated within 180 days after the date of such termination of employment, the unvested portion of the Award shall be immediately forfeited with no consideration due the Participant in respect thereof.
Section 6. Stockholder Rights. The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock underlying the Award (including, without limitation, voting or dividend rights) until such shares of Common Stock have been delivered to the Participant upon the exercise of the Award.
Section 7. Transferability. The Award is not transferrable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
Section 8. Withholding. The Participant agrees to make appropriate arrangements with the Company for satisfaction of any applicable federal, state or local income tax withholding requirements or like requirements in connection with the Award, including without limitation, the exercise thereof, and the Company shall be authorized to withhold from the Participant (through payroll or otherwise) an amount sufficient to satisfy any such withholding obligations. Provided that the Participant is employed by the Company on the date of exercise and provided that the Committee in good faith determines that the Company has a sufficient cash reserve, the Participant may direct the Company to withhold a number of shares of Common Stock from those that he would otherwise receive upon exercise having a Fair Market Value (as of the relevant date) equal to all or a portion of the tax withholding liabilities due in connection with such exercise. Any withholding in the form of shares of Common Stock shall occur at the minimum required withholding rate.

Section 10. 409A. The Award is intended to comply with, or be exempt from, Code Section 409A and all regulations, guidance, compliance programs and other interpretative authority thereunder, and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith. In the event that the Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, and a payment or benefit provided for hereunder would be subject to additional tax under Code Section 409A if such payment or benefit is paid within six (6) months after the Participant’s separation from service (within the meaning of Code Section 409A), then such payment or benefit shall not be paid (or commence) during the six (6) month period immediately following the Participant’s separation from service except as provided in the immediately following sentence. In such an event, any payments or benefits that would otherwise have been made or provided during such six (6) month period and which would have incurred such additional tax under Code Section 409A shall instead be paid to the Participant in a lump-sum, without interest, on the earlier of (i) the first business day of the seventh month following the Participant’s separation from service or (ii) the tenth business day following the Participant’s death. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Company nor any Affiliate thereof shall have any liability or obligation to the Participant or any other Person in the event that the Plan or the Award is not exempt from or compliant with Code Section 409A.
