WHEREAS, the Company and Grantee desire to amend the Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth in this Amendment;
NOW THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed:
1. Amendments. Section 5.5 is amended by adding the following as new Section 5.5.3:
“5.5.3. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, including anything in the rest of this Section 5, in connection with Grantee entering into that certain Separation Agreement (the “Separation Agreement”), dated as of March 20, 2017, by and between the Company and Grantee, (i) the portion of the Option that was exercisable as of the Separation Date (as defined in the Separation Agreement), and any portion of the Option that vests during the three (3) months following the Separation Date, once vested, may be exercised on or prior to the date that is three (3) years from the Grant Date, and (ii) the portion of the Option that will not become exercisable after three (3) months from the Separation Date shall immediately expire; provided, however, that the Option shall immediately expire in its entirety if Grantee fails to comply with Sections 4 and 5 of the Separation Agreement or the Company terminates the Consulting Agreement (as defined in the Separation Agreement) for “cause” as defined in the Consulting Agreement.”
2. Miscellaneous. This Amendment shall become effective, and shall apply retroactively from the Separation Date (as defined in the Separation Agreement), as of the expiration of the revocation period provided under the Release (as defined in the Separation Agreement), if and only if the Release has not been revoked prior to such time.
