	1	Introduction 

  

	1.1	Document Goal 

 The goal of the 2012 Mavenir Systems, Inc. Sales Compensation Plan (the
“Plan”) is to ensure a highly motivated professional sales team with a compensation package aligned with Mavenir’s evolving corporate objectives. Specifically, areas of emphasis for 2012 are: 

 

	 	•	 	Orders 

  

	 	•	 	New Customer Acquisition 

 This Plan shall apply from January 1, 2012 through
December 31, 2012 (the “Plan Period”). The Plan being introduced this year is intended to support Mavenir’s growth targets. 
  

	1.2	Objective 

 It is the objective of the plan to provide a sound basis by which sales
personnel are motivated and rewarded for achieving and exceeding Product and Service sales goals. 
 This document describes the plan
provisions under which each sales compensation plan will be administered. 
  

	1.3	Plan Administration 

 The Plan shall be administered by a sales compensation committee
(the “Committee”) consisting of the CEO, the CFO. The CEO may determine in his or her sole discretion to add other sales executives to the Committee from time to time. The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine the
calculations/categorizations described herein. All decisions of the Committee are and will be final and binding on all Participants. 
  

	1.4	Compensation 

  

	 	1.4.1	Quota Carriers 

 A Personal Compensation Plan (PCP) is provided to each Participant
detailing their individual targets and showing the BCR paid for each type of sale. 
 The booking quota will be a full-year target for the
calendar year 2012. 
 Once quota or target objectives are established, adjustments should not be necessary. However, the Company reserves
the right to make changes (up or down) to individual quotas and targets due to changes in competition or other factors, at the sole discretion of the Committee. It is the responsibility of the EVP Sales and/or the Regional VP to ensure any such
changes are communicated to the individual in writing via a revised PCP. 
 All PCPs must be signed by each Participant and his/her
EVP Sales or Regional VP and the CFO and delivered to the HRO before incentive payments are made.

	 	1.4.2	Sales Engineers 

 Incentive payments for sales engineer staff will be based on overall
regional and/or global order achievements. Compensation will be split 80% for regional targets and 20% for the Mavenir global target. The respective Sales Engineer PCP will contain details of these targets and any variation from the standard terms.

	3	Terms & Conditions 

  

	3.1	Account/Territory Assignment 

 Participants are assigned accounts/territories by their
line managers. These may be defined by geographic areas, specific customers, prospects, specific products and services, and/or combinations. All assignments are subject to change as sales resources and business conditions dictate.
Out-of-territory/channel assignments will be made selectively and in writing. 
  

	3.2	Base Incentive Compensation 

 An individual’s “Base Incentive
Compensation” is defined as the total anticipated sum to be paid to a Participant assuming 100% attainment of all objectives/targets in a full year, excluding the base salary of such individual. 

 

	3.3	Bookings 

 Booking value, for purposes of administering this Plan, will be an amount
equal to the list price, including all third party content, less customer discounts, trade-in credits, purchase credits, Distributor/Marketing Representative/Agent commission payments, withholding tax and performance bonds. 

All of the following criteria must be met to constitute a Booking: 
  

	 	•	 	A valid signed contract with executed terms. In the case where the contract is directly with a Distributor/Marketing Representative, a copy of the contractual agreement (translated to English) between the Representative
and the ultimate end user must be submitted to the CFO. 

  

	 	•	 	A bona fide purchase order submitted in hard copy to the CFO. 

  

	 	•	 	A system configuration (PQS) or margin analysis with corresponding bid reference IDs submitted to the CFO. 

  

	 	•	 	A scheduled shipment date within twelve months of receipt of the purchase order. In those circumstances where a purchase order has a shipment date more than 12 months into the future, a Booking will be recognized in the
period in which the shipment date falls within a 12 month window. 

 A Booking will be recognized in the period in which all of
the above criteria have been satisfied, as determined by the CFO, and not necessarily the period in which the customer purchase order was received. 
  

	3.4	Exchange Rates 

 In circumstances where an order from a customer requires conversion from
one currency to another, the following rules will apply: 
  

	 	•	 	Bookings will be converted from the contracted currency to US Dollars at the Company published rate prevailing in the month of the Booking.

	 Sales Commission Plan
	  	

  

	 	•	 	Commissions will be calculated in US Dollars on the above mentioned Bookings consistent with the formula contained in the individual’s PCP. 

 

	 	•	 	Participant variable earnings as defined in their contract of employment will be converted from their local currency to US Dollars using the Company published exchange rate or other rate as defined by the CFO. The
calculated commissions in US Dollars will be converted back to the applicable local currency using the same exchange rate. This rate will remain unchanged for the duration of the Plan Period and will be quoted in the individuals’ PCP.

	4	Commission Calculation 

  

	4.1	Booking 

  

	 	4.1.1	Sales Booking 

 An order Booking will be applied against assigned full-year Booking
quotas when the Participant has been instrumental in securing the order or sale for direct sales, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. For channel sales the order booking will be made for the territory and/or the relevant
Participant(s) according to individual rules stated in their respective PCP. 
  

	 	4.1.2	Management of Plans & Commissions 

 The Company uses a web-based tool, Xactly
Express, to manage the calculation of commissions and credits for each Participant. Each Participant is issued with their own account and can log-in at any time to review credits and commissions to date. RVP’s can review both their own and
their team’s performance. 
 The credit and commission calculations rely on data from Salesforce.com. It is therefore vital that each
Participant ensures the timely veracity of the Salesforce.com data pertaining to their territory and target accounts. 
 The Company reserves
the right to audit and amend the Salesforce.com records. 
  

	 	4.1.3	Commission Splits (other than channels) 

 Provisions may be available for commission
splits to accommodate those transactions which have not been specifically defined under these plan provisions. This type of non-standard commission structure will be addressed by the Committee on an as needed basis and defined before taking the
order. The total credit is not to exceed 100% between Account Managers, unless specifically approved by the Committee. 
  

	 	4.1.4	Order Representation 

 All Participants are responsible for accurately representing all
components of their orders including data records saved in Salesforce.com. Any participant who misrepresents or modifies the accuracy of an order will be subject to corrective action, up to and including termination of employment. In addition, any
such participant will be liable to and will reimburse the Company for any compensation paid to the participant as a result of such misrepresentation. 
  

	4.2	Total Commission Calculation 

 Commissions will be calculated based on each
Participant’s full-year bookings target. 
 The bookings target is the full-year sales quota in US Dollars. 

BIC target is the incentive element of each Participant’s compensation package for the full-year and is earned in addition to each
Participant’s base salary for achieving such Participant’s quota. The BIC target will be stated in the local currency as defined in the Participant’s contract of employment. For the purposes of calculating commissions the BIC target
is converted to US Dollars at a rate defined in the Participant’s PCP. 

  

			
	 Company Confidential

	 Print Date: 14/12/2012
	  	

			
	 Sales Commission Plan
	  	

  

 The commissions to be earned by each Participant will be detailed in such Participant’s
individual PCP. 
 In the event that a Participant’s BIC changes during the Plan Period then a new BCR will be calculated from a
pro-rated BIC (x months/12 x old BIC + y months/12 x new BIC). This new BCR will be applied to all bookings for the Plan Period in question. 
  

	 	4.2.1	Commission Rates 

 Participants will earn commissions on all eligible bookings at a
single BCR for all types of revenue and accounts. 
 Each Plan Participant’s standard BCR will be quoted on their PCP. 

Participants will receive booking credits for all eligible bookings regardless of revenue and account type. 

RVPs will earn commission and quota credits on all eligible bookings for their respective region. 

For bookings that include greater than $200,000 of non-partner third party content, any commissions paid to qualifying Participants will be
subject to the discretion of the Committee on a case by case basis. 
  

	 	4.2.2	Support Contracts 

 Participants will earn commissions on all support contracts at the
same rate as defined in 3.2.1 above. 
 Multiyear support contracts will be treated in the following manner: 

Firstly, to be recognised as multiyear contract the booking must be supported by a Purchase Order for the entire period and a signed and
current agreement with terms and conditions. 
 Commissions will be calculated at 100% of the applicable commission rate prevailing at the
time of the original booking against the whole Purchase Order value. The actual booking value, however, will be that which can be billed in the 12 months from the date of the original booking. The corresponding proportion of commissions will be
released, as normal, in the next commission payment cycle. 
 The remaining Purchase Order value will be added to backlog quarter by quarter
until the full value of the Purchase Order has been recognised. Likewise the corresponding proportion of commission will be released quarter by quarter. An illustration is included in Appendix A to this document. 

 

	 	4.2.3	Commission for Referrals 

 In the event that a Company approved partner is introduced to
an opportunity that, under the terms of the agreement with the partner, triggers a referral payment to the Company, then at the discretion of the Company the Participant will be eligible for a further commission payment to be decided on a case by
the Committee 
  

	 	4.2.4	New Account Incentives 

 The NAI is in place to recognize the importance to the Company
of growing the account base by developing and delivering new customers to the existing base. To support this, the following special incentive will be part of the Plan in 2012. The incentive will be a flat

  

			
	 Company Confidential

	 Print Date: 14/12/2012
	  	

			
	 Sales Commission Plan
	  	

  

 
quarterly payout for new customer accounts that have been secured in the applicable quarter. The incentive amount will be based on the initial order dollar value for commercial deployment (trials
do not count towards this bonus, trials do count towards quota relief). The payouts will be a flat lump sum to the account manager, sales director and sales executives directly involved in securing the account. The amounts are as follows: 

Table 2 Amounts 
  

					
	 AM Payout
	  	 	Executive	  
	 $2,500
	  	$	1,000	  
	 SE Prime
	  	 	SE Support	  
	 $1,500
	  	$	1,000	  

 To be eligible for this payout, the account, or a subsidiary of the account must not have previously ordered
commercial deployment equipment from Mavenir Systems. In addition, both a signed Master Supply Agreement as well as a binding, approved purchase order must be in place. In the event of the order being cancelled or reduced in size any compensation
owed on the order will be cancelled (or, as applicable, reduced in size). In addition, any compensation previously paid for the order will either be deducted (in full or in part, as appropriate) from future amounts otherwise payable to the employee
or will be required to be paid back (in full or in part, as appropriate) to the Company by the employee. The NAI does not apply to trial systems or paid lab systems. The minimum order value to be eligible for a NAI is $500,000. 

While the NAI does apply to new OEM channel accounts, it does not apply to new accounts brought into Mavenir Systems through existing OEM
channels. In addition, OEM accounts that subsequently become direct Company accounts, and direct customer accounts that are subsequently transferred to OEMs, are not eligible. 
  

	 	4.2.5	Booking Base for Channel Sale 

 Non-territory specific Participants such as channel
managers may be commissioned as a Participant regardless of the territory in which their channel sales are achieved. Channel Manager PCP’s will provide individual details of applicable territories. All territory-specific Participants will be
eligible for 100% commission on any channel sales made in their territory. 
 Existing Channels are defined as: Ericsson, Alcatel Lucent,
Huawei, HP, Nokia Siemens and IBM. 
 Regarding regional booking and revenue credit for all established channels, the booking and revenue
credit will be realised in the territory where the services and/or solution are delivered. 
  

	 	4.2.6	Special Campaign Bonus (Kickers) 

 Plan Participants are eligible for Special Campaign
Bonuses (Kickers). From time to time the Committee may define a special ad hoc campaign i.e. new product sales, competitor replacement or similar where a single one-off payment is offered for fulfilling a specific objective. 

In every case, the conditions and value of this kicker will be communicated in writing to the Plan Participant(s) and will be paid in full in
the next commission payment following satisfactory completion. These one-off payments are not normally subject to the cash collection conditions described in 4.4 above.

	 Print Date: 14/12/2012
	  	

			
	 Sales Commission Plan
	  	

  

 If the kicker value is variable and/or related to the booking value and/or applicable to more
than a single booking then the cash collection conditions will be applied as described in 4.4 above. 
  

	4.3	Commission Payments 

 Commissions will be paid as follows: 50% of the commissions will be
paid against the booking of the order by the Company and 50% of the commissions will be paid against cash collection for all Participants 

All payments under this Plan will be made within 61 days after the end of the quarter in which the payment is earned according to the foregoing
schedule. For example, if a $100,000 order is booked by the Company on February 1, 2012, 50% of the commission for that order will be paid on or before May 31, 2012. If the cash is collected for that order on July 31, 2012, then the
remaining 50% of the commission for that order will be paid on or before November 30, 2012. 
 To be eligible to be paid a commission
for an order, a participant must continue to be an employee of the company or one of its subsidiaries on the day the order is received by the Company. If a participant’s employment has ended for any reason prior to the day the order is
received, the participant will not be paid any of the commissions on the order. 
 In the event the participant’s employment with the
company has been terminated for any reason, the participant will be responsible for repayment of unearned commission and bonus due to sales credits, cancellations or other adjustments. Such repayments will be deducted from the last payment due to
the participant and any overage will be secured by a promissory note payable to the company. 
 The booking commission is paid as a
percentage of the total booking. The Plan has four levels of compensation as provided in the PCP. Up to 100% of quota, from 101% to 125% of quota, from 126% to 150% of quota and above 151% of quota. Alternative levels can be specified on an
individual basis and stated in the PCP. Each level has a different percentage. The percentage of a specific order will be calculated according to the accumulated total booking from the beginning of this Plan Period. 

 

	 	4.3.1	Commission Escalators Above Quota 

  

	 	•	 	A 2 X escalator will apply from 101% to 125% of annual booking quota; 

  

	 	•	 	A 3 X escalator will apply from 126% to 150% of annual booking quota; 

  

	 	•	 	A 4 X escalator will apply for attainment greater than 150%of annual booking quota. 

  

	 	•	 	Example: a Participant has an annual quota of $4m, a BIC of $100,000 and a BCR of 2.5%. 

  

	 	•	 	For achieving the annual quota within the Plan period the Participant will receive $4m x 2.5% = $100,000 compensation. 

  

	 	•	 	For every $ booked over $4m total (100% of quota) to $5m total (125% of quota) within the Plan period then the commission rate applied to this increment will be 2 x BCR or, in this example, 5%.

	 Sales Commission Plan
	  	

  

	 	•	 	For every $ booked over $5m total (125% of quota) to $6m total (150% of quota) within the Plan period then the commission rate applied to this increment will be 3 x BCR or, in this example, 7.5%. 

 

	 	•	 	For every $ booked greater than $6m total (150% of quota) within the Plan period then the commission rate applied to this increment will be 4 x BCR or, in this example, 10%. 

 

	 	4.3.2	Target Adjustment 

 Due to market conditions and other factors beyond its control, the
Company acknowledges that there is reasonable uncertainty regarding the timing and value of orders for its products and services, and thus the level of possible achievement of critical objectives during the Plan Period is quite dynamic. Based on
these factors, the Company at its sole discretion reserves the right to make adjustments to each Participant’s Targets to ensure equitability and affordability. The Committee may review a Participant’s Plan Period Targets at any point in a
Plan Period. Following such a review, any changes to Targets, BCR or BIC will require the Participant to sign a revised PCP. 
  

	4.4	Cash Collection 

 Vital to the Company’s future is the efficient collection of cash.
The sales role is a key factor in determining the Company’s ability to invoice and collect cash, principally in the areas relating to payment terms and achievable milestones during contract negotiation. 

On acceptance of a booking, full quota credit will be assigned to the appropriate Participant. All commissions for the booking will be paid as
outlined in section 4.3. The commission calculation application, Incent Express, details the amount of commission withheld so each Participant can review via their Incent account. Cash collection releases, however, are credited manually each quarter
and are recorded in a personal statement issued to each participant each quarter. 
 The deadline for cash collection receipts to initiate
cash collection release payments for any given quarter is the last day of the quarter. 
  

	 	4.4.1	Methodology 

 This Section 4.4.1 will apply to all bookings occurring on or after
January 1, 2009. 
 Each quarter a rolling ‘cash collected’ statement will be produced for all bookings from the start date
above. This statement will list each Participant’s bookings, the amount of commission held by booking and the amount of cash collected by booking and the amount of commission released. The difference between current quarter released and the
previous quarter released will be paid in the next commission payment round. 
 From time to time any outstanding receivables will be
reviewed and action taken as follows: 
  

	 	i.	should the receivables not be overdue then the Company can choose to grant full payment of the outstanding commission or extend further the period of retention. 

 

	 	ii.	If the receivables are significantly overdue then the Company reserves the right to void any further commission payments. This will be considered on a case by case basis. 

 

	 	iii.	If, at any point after taking the booking, the Company declares the receivable to be a bad debt then the Company reserves the right to recover all commissions from the Participant attributable to the value of
that bad debt including the portion relating to the booking itself.

 In all cases the final decision will be at the discretion of the Committee. 

 

	4.5	Sales Credits, Cancellations & Adjustments 

 In the event of cancellation or
adjustment of a customer order (including returns, credit memos, order or backlog cancellations), the appropriate reduction will be made to the Participant’s current period compensation calculation. In the event all of the total reduction due
to the Company cannot be offset against the Participant’s compensation for the current period, the Company will carry forward the outstanding balance and offset such amount against the Participant’s future incentive compensation. In the
event the Participant has terminated employment from the Company, the Plan Participant will be responsible for repayment of unearned commission and bonus due to sales credits, cancellations or adjustments. Such repayments will be deducted from the
last payment due to the Participant and any overage will be secured by a Promissory Note payable to the Company. 
  

	4.6	Overpayment 

 In the event an overpayment is made, the amount due and owing to the
Company will be returned by the employee within sixty (60) days of the end of the quarter that the overpayment is determined, only subject to further extension based upon a decision by the CEO or the CFO. In the event the Participant’s
employment with the Company has been terminated for any reason, the individual will be responsible for repayment of any unearned commission and/or bonus due to the overpayment. Such repayments will be deducted from the last payment due to the
Participant and any overage will be secured by a Promissory Note payable to the Company. 
  

	4.7	Special Situations 

 Special situations may arise with respect to large opportunities
such that a number of significant contributors resulted in the order being booked. These contributors become essential and helpful to the sales person on certain opportunities. In certain circumstances, as deemed appropriate by the Committee, a
commission adjustment may apply to these discussed account opportunities. If necessary, this commission adjustment may be retrospective. These special situations may involve splits, or joint ventures, third party business development resources,
and/or major corporate relation derived activities. 
 Where multiple Participants become eligible for commission for a given booking the
Company reserves the right to place a cap on the total commission paid. Such situations will be considered on a case by case basis and the determination of the split of the capped commission will be solely at the discretion of the Committee. 

Additionally, full commission rates are payable for Bookings made in accordance with Company standard terms, conditions and discounts.
Extraordinary costs, terms, conditions and discounts may require lower commission rates. However, discounts within the normal authority of Sales management will not generally fall into this category. The determination of whether lower commission
rates are applicable is at the sole discretion of the Committee.

MAVENIR SYSTEMS, INC.

 THIS OMNIBUS AMENDMENT TO

granted on                     to
                    (“Optionee”) under the terms of the Mavenir Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) 2005
Stock Plan (the “Plan”), which Options were evidenced by those one or more certain Stock Option Agreements (the “Option Agreements”) by and between the Company and Optionee. All capitalized terms in
this Amendment, to the extent not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan. 

RECITALS: 
 WHEREAS, to provide for acceleration of vesting under the Options in the event that Optionee is terminated without Cause (as defined in the Addendum) or leaves for Good Reason (as defined in the
Addendum) within six (6) months following a Change of Control (as defined in the Addendum), the parties hereto desire to amend the Option Agreements to incorporate the provisions of the Addendum to Stock Option Agreement (the
“Addendum”) attached hereto as Annex I into the Option Agreements. 

AGREEMENT: 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and certain other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby expressly acknowledged, the parties

 ANNEX I 

ADDENDUM TO STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 

6 Months Accelerated Vesting 
 In the event an Optionee (i) is terminated by the Company involuntarily without Cause or Optionee resigns with Good Reason (ii) upon or during the twelve (12) month period after the
effective date of such Change of Control ((i) and (ii) together, a “Double Trigger Termination” and the termination date being the “Termination Date”), the shares at
the time under the Option that would vest based solely on the passage of time (rather than vesting based on performance conditions) and that would vest within the six (6) month period following the Termination Date shall vest effective as of
the Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that such Double Trigger Termination occurs prior to the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date under the Option, the Option will provide (A) that, notwithstanding
any “cliff” vesting provision, such Optionee’s normal vesting schedule will revert to a monthly vesting schedule so that the shares under the Option will vest in successive, equal amounts over the entire vesting schedule in order to
give such Optionee vesting credit from the vesting commencement date through the Termination Date and (B) for accelerated vesting such that the shares under the Option that would vest based solely on the passage of time (rather than vesting
based on performance conditions) and that would vest within the six (6) month period following the Termination Date shall vest effective as of the Termination Date. 
 1. “Change of Control” shall mean a change in ownership or control of the Company effected through any of the following transactions: 

(A) the closing of a merger, consolidation or other reorganization approved by the Company’s stockholders in which a
change in ownership or control of the Company is effected through the acquisition by any person or group of persons comprising a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”) (other than the Company or a person that, prior to such transaction, directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with, the Company) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning
of Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) of securities possessing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding securities (as measured in terms of the power to vote with respect to the election of
Board members); 
 (B) the closing of a sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
Company’s assets; 
 (C) the closing of any transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which
any person or any group of persons comprising a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) of the Exchange Act (other than the Company or a person that, prior to such transaction or series of related transactions, directly or
indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with, the Company) acquires directly or indirectly (whether as a result of a 

  
 I-1

 
single acquisition or by reason of one or more acquisitions within the twelve (12)-month period ending with the most recent acquisition) beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 of
the Exchange Act) of securities possessing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of the Company’s securities (as measured in terms of the power to vote with respect to the election of Board members) outstanding
immediately after the consummation of such transaction or series of related transactions, whether such transaction involves a direct issuance from the Company or the acquisition of outstanding securities held by one or more of the Company’s
existing stockholders; or 

                (D) a change in the
composition of the Board over a period of thirty-six (36) consecutive months or less such that a majority of the Board members ceases by reason of one or more contested elections for Board membership to be comprised of individuals who either
(x) have been Board members continuously since the beginning of such period or (y) have been elected or nominated for election as Board members during such period by at least a majority of the Board members described in clause (x) who
were still in office at the time the Board approved such election or nomination. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely with
respect to any Award that is subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and payable upon a Change of Control, the term “Change of Control” shall mean an event described in one or more of the foregoing provisions of this
definition, but only if it also constitutes a “change of control event” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(i)(5). 
 2. “Cause” shall mean: (A) Optionee’s continued failure to substantially perform the principal duties and obligations of Optionee’s position with the Company (other
than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness), which failure is not remedied within ten (10) business days after receipt of written notice from the Company; (B) any willful act of personal dishonesty,
fraud or misrepresentation taken by Optionee which was intended to result in substantial gain or personal enrichment of Optionee at the expense of the Company; (C) Optionee’s willful violation of a federal or state law or regulation
applicable to the Company’s business which violation was or is reasonably likely to be materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company; (D) Optionee’s conviction of a felony or a plea of nolo contendere to a felony charge under
the laws of the United States or any State; or (E) Optionee’s willful breach of the terms of Optionee’s proprietary information agreement (or similar confidentiality agreement) with the Company or of the restrictive covenants of any
employment agreement between Optionee and the Company. For the purposes of this Option, no act or failure to act shall be considered “willful” unless done or omitted to be done in bad faith and without reasonable belief that the act or
omission was in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. The Board of Directors (excluding Optionee if Optionee is at such time a member of the Board) shall make all determinations relating to termination, including without limitation
any determination regarding Cause, pursuant to this Option. 
 3. “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence
of any of the following without Optionee’s consent: (A) a material reduction of Optionee’s duties or responsibilities, relative to Optionee’s duties or responsibilities as in effect immediately prior to such reduction;
(B) except as provided below, a material reduction in the Optionee’s base salary as in effect immediately 

  
 I-2

 
prior to such reduction; (C) except as provided below, a material reduction by the Company in the kind or level of employee benefits, including bonuses, to which the Optionee was entitled
immediately prior to such reduction, with the result that Optionee’s overall benefits package is materially reduced; or (D) the relocation of Optionee to a facility or a location more than fifty (50) miles from Optionee’s then
present location. The Board of Directors, or a duly authorized committee thereof, may decrease the base salary and/or employee benefits, including bonuses, in the event that the Board or such committee determines that financial exigencies require
such decrease, provided that the compensation of all executives of the Company is also reduced at the same time in a substantially commensurate manner.
