WHEREAS, Advisor serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Company (the “Board”);

WHEREAS, Advisor previously served as President and Chief Executive Officer for the Company;

WHEREAS, on August 13, 2020, Advisor stepped down from his role as President and Chief Executive Officer following his assistance in selecting and recruiting Mark Adams as successor;

WHEREAS, Advisor now intends to retire from his services as Chairman of the Board, effective as of the date of the consummation of the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders held in 2022 (the “Effective Date”); and

WHEREAS, the Company desires to provide an orderly transition of Advisor’s duties and responsibilities and Advisor desires to assist the Company in realizing an orderly transition and retain Advisor.

NOW, THEREFORE, in furtherance of the foregoing, Advisor and the Company agree as follows:

	
1.
	
Retirement.  Advisor will retire from his service as the Chairman of the Board, and will no longer serve on the Board, effective as of the Effective Date.  

	
2.
	
Services.  Following the Effective Date, Advisor shall provide the following services (the “Services”) to the Company: (i) advice to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, as reasonably requested by the Chief Executive Officer or the Chairman of the Board from time to time; (ii) such other services as reasonably requested by the Chief Executive Officer or the Chairman of the Board from time to time. Advisor shall not perform any services or act in any other capacity for the Company other than the provision of the Services. The Services are not expected to be performed for more than 10 hours per quarter. During the Term (as defined below), Advisor will continue to have access to his Company email address and business laptop, and will remain on the Company’s public website as an advisor to the Company.

3.Term and Termination.  

(a)The term of the Services to be provided pursuant to this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and continue until the date of the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders occurring in 2023 (the “Term”); provided, that (i) Advisor may terminate the Term early for any reason with 30 days’ written notice and (ii) the Company may terminate the Term early upon written notice to Advisor of a termination for “Cause” in accordance with Section 3(b). 

(b)For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean the Advisor’s: (A) material breach of this Agreement or any other material written agreement with the Company, (B) conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a felony (excluding traffic offenses) which has or is reasonably expected to have a material detrimental effect on the reputation or business of the Company or its affiliates; (C) gross misconduct or other intentional conduct that has or is reasonably expected to have a material detrimental effect on the reputation or business of the Company or its affiliates; (D) willful and improper disclosure of confidential information; or (E) willful failure to reasonably cooperate with the Company in any investigation or formal proceeding; provided that no such determination may be made until Advisor has been given written notice detailing the specific Cause event and a period of thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice to cure such event (if the event is curable), or, if such event is not so cured (or is not curable), an opportunity on at least five (5) days 

 

 

advance written notice to appear (with legal counsel) before the full Board to discuss the specific circumstances alleged to constitute a Cause event.

	
4.
	
Compensation.  As of the date hereof, Advisor holds certain equity-based awards granted under the SMART Global Holdings, Inc. Amended and Restated 2017 Share Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

In consideration for the Services, and subject to Advisor’s compliance with this Agreement, for purposes of the Options and RSUs, Advisor’s retirement pursuant to Section 1 will not be considered a “termination of employment or service” as defined in the Plan, but rather, during the Term, the Options and RSUs will continue to vest in accordance with the vesting schedule provided in the applicable award agreements setting forth such Options and RSUs.  For the avoidance of doubt, the final day of the Term will be deemed a “termination of employment or service” for purposes of the Options and RSUs, and any Options and RSUs that would be forfeited pursuant to their terms upon a termination of employment or service will be forfeited.  The post-termination exercise period of Advisor’s Options will be extended to the earlier of (i) 180 days from the last day of the Term or (ii) the original expiration date for such Options.  The terms provided by the Plan and the underlying award agreements shall continue to apply during the Term. Except as set forth in this Section 4, Advisor will not be eligible to participate in or receive any other compensation or benefits in connection with the provision of the Services.

7.

This Agreement and the payments to be made hereunder are intended to comply with, or be exempt from, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in compliance therewith.
