Amended and Restated 2018 Equity Incentive Plan | Radar Relay, Inc.
and if the Committee shall in its discretion determine that the events described in Sections 4.5.1, 4.5.2, or 4.5.3 equitably requires an adjustment in the number or kind of Shares subject to an Option or other Award, an adjustment in the Option Price or the taking of any other action by the Committee, including without limitation, the setting aside of any property for delivery to the Participant upon the exercise of an Option or the full vesting of an Award, then such adjustments shall be made, or other action shall be taken, by the Committee and shall be effective for all purposes of the Plan and on each outstanding Option or Award that involves the particular type of stock for which a change was effected. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.5, pursuant to Section 8.3, a Participant holding Stock received as a Restricted Stock Award shall have the right to receive all amounts, including cash and property of any kind, distributed with respect to the Stock after such Restricted Stock Award was granted upon the Participants becoming a holder of record of the Stock.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall have the discretion, exercisable either at the time an Award is granted or issued or at any time while the Award remains outstanding, to structure the Award so that it shall automatically accelerate and vest in full upon the occurrence of a Change in Control (and any Forfeiture Restrictions or Repurchase Rights of the Company with respect to unvested Shares received pursuant to the Award shall immediately terminate), whether or not the Award is to be assumed in the Change in Control or the Forfeiture Restrictions or Repurchase Rights of the Company would otherwise continue in effect pursuant to the Change in Control or subject to the execution of the release or an Award cancellation agreement, cause all outstanding Awards to be cancelled and terminated as of a specified date in exchange for a payment or right to payment pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Change in Control transaction documents. With respect to an Award which the Company concludes is subject to (and not exempt from) the requirements of Section 409A, any actions taken by the Board pursuant to this Section shall be done in compliance with Section 409A of the Code. The Board need not take the same action with respect to all Awards or with respect to all Participants.

The grant of Awards under the Plan shall in no way affect the right of the Company to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. Nothing in this Section or any other provision of this Plan is intended to provide any Participant with any right to consent to or object to any transaction that might result in a Change in Control and each provision of this Plan shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent. Similarly, nothing in this Section or any other provision of this Plan is intended to provide any Participant with any right to consent to or object to any action taken by the Board pursuant to this Section.

Eligible Consultants shall be selected from those non-employee consultants to the Company who are performing services important to the operation and growth of the Company. All Eligible Non-Employee Directors selected by the Board may participate in the Plan. Participants may be granted from time to time one or more Awards; provided, however, that the grant of each such Award shall be separately approved by the Committee and receipt of one such Award shall not result in automatic receipt of any other Award. Upon determination by the Committee that an Award is to be granted to a Participant, written notice shall be given to such person, specifying the terms, conditions, rights and duties related thereto. Each Participant shall, if required by the Committee, enter into an agreement with the Company, in such form as the Committee shall determine and which is consistent with the provisions of the Plan, specifying such terms, conditions, rights and duties. Awards shall be deemed to be granted as of the date specified in the grant resolution of the Committee, which date shall be the date of any related agreement with the Participant. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Plan and any such agreement entered into hereunder, the provisions of the Plan shall govern.
7. Options.
7.1. Grant of Options. Coincident with or following designation for participation in the Plan, a Participant may be granted one or more Options.

The Committee may grant both an Incentive Option and a Non-Qualified Option to an Eligible Employee at the same time or at different times. Incentive Options and Non-Qualified Options, whether granted at the same time or at different times, shall be deemed to have been awarded in separate grants and shall be clearly identified, and in no event shall the exercise of one Option affect the right to exercise any other Option or affect the number of Shares for which any other Option may be exercised.

Repurchase Rights.
c. Repurchase Rights. Should the Option Holder cease Service while holding unvested Shares, the Company shall have the right to repurchase any or all of those unvested Shares at a price per share equal to the Option Price (the Repurchase Rights). The Company shall be entitled to exercise its right to repurchase such unvested Shares by written notice to the Option Holder sent within ninety (90) days after the time of Option Holders cessation of Service, or (if later) during the ninety (90)-day period following the execution date of any written stock purchase agreement executed by the Company and the Option Holder.

7.2.5. Exercise and Payment.
a. Manner of Exercise. The method for exercising each Option granted hereunder shall be by delivery to the Company of written notice specifying the number of Shares with respect to which such Option is exercised. The purchase of such Shares shall take place at the principal offices of the Company within thirty (30) days following delivery of such notice, at which time the Option Price of the Shares shall be paid in full by any of the methods set forth below or a combination thereof. The Option shall be exercised when the Option Price for the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised is paid to the Company in full. A properly executed certificate or certificates representing the Shares shall be delivered to or at the direction of the Option Holder upon payment therefor. If Options on less than all Shares evidenced by an Option Agreement are exercised, the Company shall deliver a new Option Agreement evidencing the Option on the remaining Shares upon delivery of the Option Agreement for the Option being exercised.
b. Payment of Exercise Price. The exercise price shall be paid by any of the following methods or any combination of the following methods at the election of the Option Holder, or by any other method approved by the Committee: (i) in cash; (ii) by certified check, cashiers check or other check acceptable to the Company, payable to the order of the Company; or (iii) if expressly permitted by a resolution of the Committee applicable to the Option at the time of exercise (whether such resolution is applicable solely to the Option being exercised or is generally applicable to some or all Options outstanding under the Plan), by delivery to the Company of certificates representing the number of Shares then owned by the
12
Amended and Restated 2018 Equity Incentive Plan | Radar Relay, Inc.
Option Holder, the Fair Market Value of which equals the purchase price of the Shares purchased pursuant to the Option, properly endorsed for transfer to the Company; provided, however, that no Option may be exercised by delivery to the Company of certificates representing Shares, unless such Shares have been held by the Option Holder for more than six (6) months (or such other period of time as the Committee determines is necessary to avoid adverse financial accounting treatment); for purposes of this Plan, the Fair Market Value of any Shares delivered in payment of the purchase price upon exercise of the Option shall be the Fair Market Value as of the exercise date, and the exercise date shall be the day of delivery of the certificates for the Shares used as payment of the Option Price.
7.2.6. Date of Grant. An Option shall be considered as having been granted on the date specified in the grant resolution of the Committee.

b. Incentive Options. If an Option Holder makes a disposition (as defined in Section 424(c) of the Code) of any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Option prior to the expiration of two years from the date on which the Incentive Option was granted or prior to the expiration of one year from the date on which the Option was exercised, the Option Holder shall send written notice to the Company at the Companys principal place of business of the date of such disposition, the number of Shares disposed of, the amount of proceeds received from such disposition and any other information relating to such disposition as the Company may reasonably request. The Option Holder shall, in the event of such a disposition, make appropriate arrangements with the Company to provide for the amount of additional withholding, if any, required by Sections 3102 and 3402 of the Code and applicable state income tax laws.
7.2.8. Lock-Up Period. An Option Holder shall not directly or indirectly sell, offer to sell, contract to sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase or sale of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale of, any Stock (or other securities) of the Company held by such Option Holder (other than those included for sale in the registration) for a period specified by the representative of the underwriters of Stock (or other securities) of the Company, not to exceed 180 days following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act plus an additional 18 days if necessary to comply with applicable regulatory requirements. If requested by the Company or the representative of the underwriters of Stock (or other securities) of the Company, the Option Holder may be required to enter into an agreement regarding his or her compliance with this requirement.

8.2.2.

The remaining portion of each such Award shall be forfeited and shall be immediately returned to the Company.
