WHEREAS, Hoback currently holds 119,605 shares of the common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”) and the other equity interests or related rights described herein;
WHEREAS, Hoback desires to exercise all rights he has to acquire shares of Common Stock and to obtain the right sell such shares of Common Stock as described herein; and
WHEREAS, by its execution hereof, the Company authorizes and approves the grant of an option and other rights and transactions as described herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein, the Parties agree as follows:
| 1. | RSUs and Options. On the Effective Date: |
| a. | The Parties agree that all unvested Restricted Stock Units granted to Hoback under the Company’s 2008 Omnibus Equity Incentive Compensation Plan or its 2018 Omnibus Equity Incentive Compensation Plan (together, the “Incentive Plans”) shall vest as of the Effective Date and that, in respect of all such newly vested Restricted Stock Units, Hoback shall receive 40,697 shares of Common Stock in settlement thereof; and |
| b. | The Parties agree that all unvested stock options granted to Hoback under the Plans shall vest as of the Effective Date. |
| c. | Hoback is exercising, through a cashless exercise, all stock options he holds to acquire shares, of Common Stock at an exercise price of less than $1.75 per share, in exchange for 2,413 shares of Common Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, all Incentive Stock Options and Non-qualified Stock Options Hoback holds having an exercise price of more than $1.75 per share of Common Stock are fully vested as of the date of this Agreement and the exercise prices and terms of such Options are being kept in full force by the Company pursuant to their original terms. |
| 2. | Option. Subject to the provisions of Section 8, the Company hereby grants Hoback the right to sell to the Company up to 43,110 shares of Common Stock at a price per share of $1.75 (the “Option”). The Option shall be exercised by delivering written notice to the Company (x) indicating that Hoback intends to exercise the Option, (y) number of shares which Hoback is then selling to the Company and (z) reaffirming each of the representations set forth in Section 6 as if made as of the date of such notice, which notice must be received by the Company no later than the close of business on January 3, 2020. If notice is not timely delivered, the Option shall expire. The Option is non-transferable. The Option may only be exercised in connection with one sale of shares Common Stock to the Company at one time (i.e., it may not be exercised more than once). Upon the exercise of the Option: |
| a. | Hoback shall deliver any shares of Common Stock held in certificated form to the Company with a fully executed stock power within 5 business days after the date the Option is exercised. Hoback shall direct the Company’s transfer agent to reflect the transfer of any shares of Common Stock held in electronic book entry form to the Company within 2 business days after the Option is exercised. |

| b. | The Company shall pay to Hoback by check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds the price of $1.75 per share of Common Stock sold to the Company under the Option within 3 business days after the Company’s receipt of the shares being transferred. The Company may deduct and withhold from the amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as such party, as applicable, determines in good faith that it is required to withhold or deduct under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any provision of applicable state or local tax law with respect to the making of such payment.
