|   | (a) | Awards, whether or not then vested, may be continued, assumed, have new rights substituted therefor or, the Committee may terminate all outstanding and unexercised stock options or any other stock-based award that provides for a participant-elected exercise, effective as of the date of the Change in Control Transaction, by delivering notice of termination to each participant at least 20 days prior to the date of consummation of the Change in Control Transaction, in which case during the period from the date on which such notice of termination is delivered to the consummation of the Change in Control Transaction, each such participant shall have the right to exercise in full all of such exercisable awards that are then outstanding to the extent vested on the date such notice of termination is given (or, at the discretion of the Committee, without regard to any limitations on exercisability otherwise contained in the award agreements), but any such exercise shall be contingent on the occurrence of the acquisition event, and, provided that, if the acquisition event does not take place within a specified period after giving such notice for any reason whatsoever, the notice and exercise pursuant thereto shall be null and void.  In the event of an Change in Control Transaction, the Committee may terminate any exercisable award for which the exercise price is equal to or exceeds the fair market value on the date of the Change in Control Transaction without payment of consideration therefor; and restricted stock or other awards may, where appropriate in the discretion of the Committee, receive the same distribution as other common stock on such terms as determined by the Committee; provided that, the Committee may decide to award additional restricted stock or any other award in lieu of any cash distribution. |

|   | (b) | Awards may be cancelled in exchange for an amount of cash equal to the change in control price (price per share of common stock paid in the Change in Control Transaction) per share of common stock covered by such awards, less, in the case of an appreciation award, the exercise price per share of common stock covered by such award. |
|--------|-----|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | (c) | Appreciation awards may be cancelled without payment, if the change in control price is less than the exercise price per share of such appreciation awards. |
|--------|-----|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|  | · | Termination Without Cause, for Good Reason, or Death. In the event employment is terminated (i) by us other than for Cause, (ii) by the employee for Good Reason, or (iii) due to the employee’s death, Dr. Smith shall be entitled to a cash lump sum payment in an amount equal to one fourth of his then current base annual salary and Mr. Belt shall be entitled to a cash lump sum payment in an amount equal to one half of his then current base annual salary. |
|--|--------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|  | · | Termination in Connection with a Change of Control. In the event that the employee resigns or is terminated within 60 days before and 90 days after a Change of Control, then in addition to the amounts that the employee would otherwise would be eligible to receive, including amounts that would be payable as a result of a termination other than for Cause, a termination for Good Reason and a termination due to employee’s death, Dr. Smith shall be entitled to a cash lump sum payment equal to half of current base annual salary and Mr. Belt shall be entitled to a cash lump sum payment equal to half of current base annual salary. |

|  | (3) | Stock awards are reported at grant date fair value, if awarded in the period, and at incremental fair value, if modified in the period.  The 2016 grants were made under our 2014 Equity Incentive Plan in September 2016 and vest on the earlier of (1) June 30, 2017, or (2) one day prior to the next annual shareholder meeting.  The number of shares of common stock were determined using a volume weighted average price of $1.43 per share at the grant date rather than grant date fair value.  The grants were 27,972 shares to each of directors Beth Bronner, Ari Gendason, David Goldman, Baruch Halpern and Henk W. Hoogenkamp and 34,965 shares to Brent Rosenthal.  As of December 31, 2016, the aggregate shares which have been awarded to each director for board service are as follows: 27, 972 to Beth Bronner; 11,527 to Marco V.

The amount is to be paid in either cash or stock at Mr. Rosenthal’s election.  As of the date of this filing, no election has been made and therefore no cash has been paid and no stock has been issued as transitional compensation. |
