Amended and Restated 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan ("Plan"); the stock option vests pursuant to a three year vesting schedule, whereby one-third of the total number of shares issuable under the option becomes exercisable each year on the anniversary of the grant date, commencing on November 10, 2017, based on the Company's achievement of a modified net income target for fiscal 2017 ("Target") as approved by the Compensation Committee, and the acceleration provisions of the Plan and stock option agreement, and subject to the participant's employment by the Company or service on the Board of Directors of the Company on the applicable vesting date. Twenty percent (20%) of the total number of shares subject to each stock option will be forfeited if the Company's actual modified net income for fiscal 2017 is lower than the Target.
