Compensation Policy for Non-Employee Directors
Objective
It is the objective of Mercury to compensate non-employee directors in a manner which will enable recruitment and retention of highly qualified directors and fairly compensate them for their services as a director.
Philosophy
Board of Director compensation includes cash and equity.  It is annually reviewed by the Compensation Committee with recommendations to the Board.  This review includes:  
		
	•
	a market survey of Board compensation to peer companies at the 50th and 75th percentiles;

		
	•
	a review of Board and Committee meeting frequency;

		
	•
	Board member personal preparation time for Board and Committee meetings; and

		
	•
	Board member responsibilities.

The Board targets its annual cash and equity compensation to the 75th percentile of the market.

Equity Compensation
New non-employee directors will be granted equity awards in connection with their first election to the Board.

Non-employee directors may also receive annual restricted stock awards for the number of shares of common stock equal to $150,000 divided by the average closing price of the Company’s common stock during the 30 calendar days prior to the date of grant.  These awards will vest as to 50% of the covered shares on the date of grant and as to the remaining covered shares on the first anniversary of the date of grant.
Non-employee directors will not be eligible to receive an annual restricted stock award for the fiscal year in which they are first elected.  Non-employee directors who are first elected to the Board during the first half of Company’s fiscal year will be eligible to receive an annual restricted stock award for the next fiscal year; otherwise, non-employee directors will not be eligible to receive their first annual restricted stock award until the second fiscal year following the fiscal year in which they are first elected to the Board.

Dear Chris,

On behalf of Mercury Systems, Inc., I am pleased to offer you the position of Senior Vice President, General Counsel, which will be based in Chelmsford, MA, and report to me. You will receive a base salary of $345,000 annually. You will also be a participant in our current Annual Executive Bonus Plan, and will be eligible to earn an annual target bonus equal to 60% ($207,000) of your base salary, based on the achievement of Mercury Systems’ financial goals. FY2017’s bonus will be paid in two halves dependent on H1 and H2 financial results, generally paid out in February (H1) and August (H2) and is pro-rated for FY2017 based on date of hire.   
In addition to your target bonus, you will be eligible to participate with certain other senior executives in an FY2017
Overachievement Award Pool (commencing on July 1, 2016). Your target over achievement award is up to a maximum of an additional 60% of your base salary and is based upon Mercury Systems over achieving a budgeted financial target set by the Compensation Committee.
In addition, you will be granted 75,000 shares of restricted stock which will be awarded as 50% Performance Based shares and 50% will be Time Based shares. The shares will be granted on the 15th of the month following your date of hire. This stock grant will have a three year vesting schedule, with the Time Based shares vesting a third each year and the Performance Based shares vesting as performance milestones are achieved.  The performance milestones will be the same as those applicable to Performance Based shares granted to other senior executives for FY2017.  Your restricted stock award will also be subject to the terms and conditions of Mercury's 2005 Stock Incentive Plan and an award agreement between you and us.
