In addition, beginning with the 2013 fiscal year he will be granted an annual long-term equity incentive award with an approved value of 200% of the portion of his annual base salary earned in the given fiscal year, in each case with terms and conditions generally applicable to awards granted to other senior executive officers of the Company. Forty percent (40%) of each annual equity award will be delivered in stock options and the remaining 60% in performance-vested restricted stock units (or such other proportion as may be determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors from time to time). The number of shares subject to each annual long-term equity incentive award will be determined in accordance with the Company's Equity Grant Policy.

Mr. Colan also will be eligible to participate in the Company's Severance Plan for Senior Management and Key Employees ("Severance Plan"), which provides for certain post-employment severance payments in connection with a change in control.
