2.Cash Compensation.  Each Participant shall be entitled to a cash amount determined annually by the Board, in consultation with the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”), and as set forth on Attachment A hereto, consisting of an annual retainer and meeting fees based on the number of committee meetings held during the fiscal year, the number of presentations by the Company at which members of the Board are requested to attend and whether the Participant serves as a chairman of a committee or as the lead independent director.

3.Election of Common Shares in Lieu of Cash. Participants may elect to receive common shares of the Company in lieu of all or 50% of the annual retainer and other fees otherwise payable to them by notifying the Company of such election prior to January 1 of the year for which the election will be effective.  The number of common shares issued to Participants pursuant to such election will be based on the closing fair market value of the shares of the Company’s common stock on the tenth trading day in January of each year.

4.Payment.  Prior to January 31, Participants shall receive a lump sum payment of the annual retainer for that year (or, in the case of any person who becomes a Participant after January 31 of a fiscal year, as soon as practicable after the date on which such person becomes a Participant, pro-rated as provided in Attachment A).  Also prior to January 31, Participants shall receive a lump sum payment of the meeting fees, committee chair fees and lead independent director fee for the prior fiscal year or, if earlier, within 60 days after retiring or resigning from the Board.

6.Governing Law.  The Program shall be governed by the laws of Bermuda.

7.Successors.  All obligations of the Company under the Program shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect merger, consolidation, purchase of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company or otherwise.

8.Amendment and Termination.  This Program may be amended or terminated at any time by the Board; provided, that no amendment shall be given effect to the extent that it would have the effect of reducing a Participant’s existing awards under the Program.

indirectly, at least a 50% equity interest (an “Intevac Entity”) becomes the owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than fifty (50%) of the combined voting power of the Company’s then

of which are owned by stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Company immediately prior to such sale, lease, license or other disposition. 

 

	1.2	 Termination after a Change in Control. In the event that within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control, the Company terminates your
employment without Cause (as defined below) or you resign for Good Reason (as defined below) (a Change in Control Termination), (a) the Company will provide you with severance in the amount of twelve (12) months of your then existing base

options (stock Options, Restricted Stock) held by you shall have their vesting accelerated such that all options (Stock Options, Restricted Stock) are fully vested and exercisable as of the date of the Change of Control Termination (the
“Acceleration”). As a precondition of receiving the payments and benefits under this paragraph, you must first sign and allow to become effective a general release of claims in favor of the Company in a form acceptable to the Company.

(“Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280Gof the Code, and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the
“Excise Tax”), then such Payment shall be equal to the Reduced Amount, the “Reduced Amount” shall be either (x) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise
Tax or (y) the largest portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount, after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest
applicable marginal rate), results in your receipt, on the after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the Payment notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a

 
reduction in payments or benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that the Payment equals the Reduced Amount, reduction shall occur in the following order unless you
elect in writing a different order (provided, however, that such election shall be subject to Board approval if made on or after the effective date of the event that triggers the Payment): reduction of cash payments; cancellation of Acceleration;
reduction of employee benefits. In the event that Acceleration is to be reduced, it shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of your Options (i.e., earliest granted Option cancelled last) unless you elect in writing a different
order for cancellation. 
 The accounting firm engaged by the Company for general audit purposes as of the day prior to the effective date of
the Change in control shall perform the foregoing calculations, if the accounting firm so engaged by the Company is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change in Control, the Company shall appoint a
nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder. The Company shall bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such accounting firm required to be made hereunder. 

The accounting firm engaged to make the determinations hereunder shall provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting
documentation, to you and the Company within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date on which your right to a Payment is triggered (if requested at the time by you or the Company) or such other time as requested by you or the Company. If the
accounting firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable with respect to a Payment, either before or after the application of the Reduced Amount, it shall furnish you and the Company with an opinion reasonably acceptable to you that no Excise Tax
will be imposed with respect to such Payment. Any good faith determinations of the accounting firm made hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive upon you and the Company. 

 

	2.0	General Provisions 

  

	2.1	Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but such invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provision will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction so as to render it valid, legal and enforceable consistent with the intent of the parties insofar as Possible. 

 

	2.2	 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement, constitutes the entire and exclusive agreement
between you and the Company, and it supersedes any prior agreement, promise, representation, or statement, written or otherwise, between you and the Company with regard to this subject matter. It is entered into without reliance or any promise,
