WHEREAS, Section 2(d) of the Original Agreement provided that Director shall be entitled to a restricted stock award equal to 5,000 shares per quarter (each, a “Quarterly Stock Award” and collectively, the “Quarterly Stock Awards”) so long as Director continues to fulfill Director’s duties and provides services pursuant to the Original Agreement;
WHEREAS, the Quarterly Stock Awards have not been granted to Director from July 1, 2017 to the date of this Amendment (the “Unissued Quarterly Stock Awards”);
WHEREAS, Director has agreed to (i) waive any such Quarterly Stock Awards and (ii) amend the Original Agreement to remove the requirement to grant future Quarterly Stock Awards; and
WHEREAS, the Company and Director desire to amend the Original Agreement to provide for an annual grant of stock options to purchase up to 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in accordance with this Amendment so long as Director continues to fulfill Director’s duties and provide services pursuant to the Original Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE, for consideration and as set forth herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Waiver. Director hereby waives any right under the Original Agreement to receive any Unissued Quarterly Stock Awards. Director acknowledges that by signing this Amendment, the Company is released from any obligation to issue the Unissued Quarterly Stock Awards to Director.

“(c) Options. In addition to the above-mentioned compensation, Director shall also be entitled to non-qualified stock options to purchase up to 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock every calendar year so long as Director continues to fulfill Director’s duties and provide services pursuant to this Agreement, issued under the Company’s equity incentive plan(s) (individually or collectively, the “Plan”), in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the standard non-qualified stock option agreement under such plan (an “Annual Option Grant”).
