4.Clause 7 of the Engagement Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

“7. In addition to his Base Salary, the Vice-President shall be entitled to additional compensation each fiscal year pursuant to the Company’s short term and long term incentive compensation plans as follows:

 

Short Term Incentive Compensation

 

The Vice-President shall be entitled to receive an annual cash bonus. The bonus amount payable to the Vice-President shall be based upon (i) the performance of the Company as compared to the financial performance targets for the Company, as established by the Board for the fiscal year; and (ii) the achievement of the individual goals set by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) for the fiscal year.

 

The performance measures, the Vice-President’s individual goals and the bonus amounts potentially payable to the Vice-President based upon the Company and/or the Vice-President achieving such performance measures and individual goals shall be communicated to the Vice-President by the CEO in writing by no later than March 1 of the fiscal year.

 

Any annual cash bonus earned by the Vice-President pursuant to this section shall be paid by the Company no later than March 31 of the following fiscal year.

 

Long Term Incentive Compensation

 

The Vice-President shall be entitled to receive restricted stock units (each an “RSU”) granted under to the Company’s 2008 Equity Incentive Plan at the beginning of each fiscal year, commencing with the 2015 fiscal year. Each RSU shall entitle the Vice-President to receive one share of the Company’s common stock upon the vesting of the RSU. Of the RSUs granted at the beginning of each fiscal year, one-sixth (1/6) of such RSUs shall vest at the end of that fiscal year, one-sixth (1/6) of such RSUs shall vest at the end of the second (2nd) fiscal year following the grant date, and one-sixth (1/6) of such RSUs shall vest at the end of the third (3rd) fiscal year following the grant date. The remaining one-half (1/2) of the RSUs granted (i.e. those that do not vest with time over three (3) years) shall vest based upon the performance of the Company as compared to the financial performance targets for the Company established by the Board for the three (3) year fiscal period beginning with fiscal year in which the RSUs are first granted.

 

The number of RSUs that may potentially vest to the Vice-President with time over the three (3) year period and the number of RSUs that may potentially vest to the Vice-President based upon the performance of the Company over the three (3) year period (as well as the financial targets by which the Company’s performance will be measured) shall be communicated to the Vice-President by the CEO in writing by no later than March 1 of the fiscal year. Vesting of the RSUs shall be contingent on the Vice-President’s engagement with the Company on each vesting date. Therefore, any unvested shares shall be automatically forfeited upon cessation of service to the Company resulting from the Vice-President’s resignation or termination for cause.”

5.Clause 8 of the Engagement Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
