Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On June 2, 2014, Jeffrey S. Olson resigned from his positions as Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of Equity One, Inc. (the “Company”) and a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Effective upon Mr. Olson’s resignation, and consistent with disclosures set forth in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 7, 2014, on June 2, 2014, the Board appointed Mr. Lukes CEO of the Company and a member of the Board.

In order to facilitate an orderly transition in leadership, the Company and Mr. Olson also executed a Separation of Employment Agreement dated June 2, 2014 (the “Separation Agreement”), pursuant to which Mr. Olson agreed to continue to serve as an officer of the Company until August 29, 2014.

On June 2, 2014, the Company also entered into a Chairman Compensation Agreement with Chaim Katzman, the Company’s Chairman of the Board, which will supersede Mr. Katzman’s existing Chairman Compensation Agreement with the Company following the expiration of its term on December 31, 2014.

Separation of Employment Agreement with Jeffrey Olson

The Separation Agreement with Mr. Olson amends and supersedes various provisions of the employment agreement dated August 9, 2010 (the “Employment Agreement”) between the Company and Mr. Olson. Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, Mr. Olson will continue to receive his base salary as set forth in the Employment Agreement and participate in all Company benefit plans on the same terms that he participated prior to execution of the Separation Agreement during the term of the Separation Agreement.

Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, upon the termination of Mr. Olson’s employment, other than as the result of a voluntary resignation or termination by the Company for Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement) prior to August 29, 2014, Mr. Olson will be entitled to receive: (i) vesting of 58,240 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock currently held by Mr. Olson, which otherwise would have vested on December 31, 2014, (ii) six months following his termination to exercise vested stock options and (iii) a cash payment of $825,000, subject, in the case of the cash payment, to Mr. Olson’s execution of a general release of claims in favor of the Company. In addition, upon such a termination, the vesting conditions applicable to the 582,412 long-term incentive performance shares previously granted under Mr. Olson’s Employment Agreement will be measured based on the Company’s total shareholder return during the period from January 1, 2011 through the date of termination (as opposed to from January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2014, which was the end of Mr. Olson’s term under the Employment Agreement). Other than adjusting the measurement period to coincide with the termination of Mr. Olson’s employment, the vesting criteria that must be met for Mr. Olson to vest in some or all of these shares will remain the same.

Following Mr. Olson’s termination, the Company has also agreed to provide medical, dental and life insurance benefits to Mr. Olson and his family until December 31, 2014 or such earlier time as Mr. Olson no longer requires such benefits.

Chairman Compensation Agreement with Chaim Katzman

On June 2, 2014, the Company also entered into a Chairman Compensation Agreement (the “Chairman Compensation Agreement”) with Chaim Katzman, the Company’s Chairman of the Board, which, except as specified therein, is effective as of January 1, 2015 (the “Effective Date”). Pursuant to the Chairman Compensation Agreement, Mr. Katzman will continue to serve as the Chairman of the Board of the Company for the term of the Chairman Compensation Agreement, subject to his election to the Board and as Chairman thereof. The initial term of the Chairman Compensation Agreement ends December 31, 2017 and will automatically renew for successive one-year periods unless either party gives the other written notice at least 90 days before the expiration of the applicable term of that party’s intent not to renew the Chairman Compensation Agreement (the “Term”). The Company has agreed to use reasonable good faith efforts to cause Mr. Katzman to be elected as a member of the Board during the Term unless Mr. Katzman has been removed from the Board for “Cause” (as defined in the Company’s charter) or has not been elected to the Board at a prior annual meeting of shareholders of the Company for the election of members to the Board.

On the first business day following the Effective Date, the Company will grant to Mr. Katzman 255,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock (the “Katzman Shares”) pursuant to a restricted stock agreement to be entered into by and between the Company and Mr. Katzman in the form attached to the Chairman Compensation Agreement. Subject to the continued retention of Mr. Katzman under the Chairman Compensation Agreement as of each respective “Vesting Date,” the Katzman Shares will vest as follows: (i) 7,095 shares on January 31, 2015; and (ii) 7,083 shares on the last day of each calendar month beginning February 2015 and ending December 2017. Mr. Katzman will be entitled to receive with respect to such Katzman Shares (i) any special or extraordinary dividend or distribution paid to the Company’s stockholders of record on or after June 2, 2014 and through the last day of the Term and, if such Katzman Shares have become vested, thereafter and (ii) any regular quarterly cash dividends paid to the Company’s stockholders of record on or after the Effective Date and through the last day of the Term and, if such Restricted Shares have become vested, thereafter. In addition, during the Term, Mr. Katzman will be provided with use of an automobile, reimbursement for office furniture, equipment and phone and Internet access at two home offices and certain medical, hospital and dental benefits. Mr. Katzman will also be entitled to reimbursement for private and chartered air travel directly related to the performance of his duties as Chairman of the Board, subject to applicable Company policies. Mr. Katzman will also be eligible to receive an annual bonus in an amount to be determined in the discretion of the Compensation Committee.

The Company also granted to Mr. Katzman the right to register any or all securities (including stock options) of the Company held by Mr. Katzman at any time during the Term that the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

If the Chairman Compensation Agreement is terminated due to death or Disability (as defined in the Chairman Compensation Agreement) of Mr. Katzman, all unvested stock options and unvested shares of restricted stock granted to Mr. Katzman prior to the date of termination that would have vested during the 90-day period following his death or Disability will fully vest as of the date of termination. If the Chairman Compensation Agreement is terminated by the Company “without Cause,” or by Mr. Katzman for “Good Reason” (as such terms are defined in the Chairman Compensation Agreement), all unvested stock options and unvested shares of restricted stock granted to Mr. Katzman prior to the date of termination that would have vested at any time in the 365 days following the date of termination will fully vest as of the date of termination and Mr. Katzman will be entitled to continued medical, hospital and dental benefits through the earlier of the end of the Term or Mr. Katzman’s eligibility under COBRA. If the Chairman Compensation Agreement is terminated by the Company “with Cause,” or by Mr. Katzman other than for “Good Reason” (as such terms are defined in the Chairman Compensation Agreement), all unvested stock options and unvested shares of restricted stock

granted to Mr. Katzman prior to the date of termination that would have vested in the calendar month when the date of termination occurs will fully vest as of the date of termination.

If the Chairman Compensation Agreement is terminated for any reason, Mr. Katzman will be entitled to receive any bonus or other compensation that has been earned or declared, but not yet paid, as of the date of termination.

Under the Chairman Compensation Agreement, the Company has the right to elect, within 20 days following the date of termination of the Chairman Compensation Agreement, to redeem any shares of restricted stock that will vest specifically as a result of the termination of the Chairman Compensation Agreement for an amount equal to the average closing price of the Company’s common stock on the principal stock exchanges on which such common stock is then listed and traded during the ten trading days prior to the date of termination.

The foregoing description of the Separation Agreement and the Chairman Compensation Agreement is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Separation Agreement and the Chairman Compensation Agreement, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and each of which is incorporated by reference herein.

Exhibit 10.1

SEPARATION OF EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS SEPARATION OF EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made as of this 2nd day of June, 2014 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Equity One, Inc. (the “Company”) and Jeffrey Olson (“Executive”).

WHEREAS, Executive and Company are parties to an employment agreement dated August 9, 2010 and effective as of January 1, 2011 (the “Employment Agreement”) which, among other things, provides for certain benefits in the event that Executive’s employment is terminated under certain circumstances;

WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive have mutually and amicably agreed that the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company will occur on the “Date of Termination”. The Date of Termination shall be the earliest to occur of (x) August 29, 2014, (y) the date on which the Company terminates the Executive’s employment and (z) Executive’s death, disability, or earlier voluntary resignation of his position as Consulting Officer; and

WHEREAS, in connection with the termination of Executive’s employment, the parties have agreed to a separation arrangement as set forth in this Agreement and the resolution of any and all disputes between them.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED by and between Executive and the Company as follows:

1.Resignation from Positions; Appointment to Consulting Officer. Effective upon the Effective Date, Executive voluntarily resigns his positions on the Board of Directors of the Company and its subsidiaries, his positions on the Company’s Executive Committee and Investment Committee and his position as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Effective upon the Effective Date, and continuing through the Date of Termination, Executive will hold the title of Consulting Officer and shall perform such duties as the Company’s Board of Directors and new Chief Executive Officer may prescribe, including to facilitate an orderly transition of leadership within the Company. The principal place of Executive’s employment shall be New York, New York, however the Executive will work remotely and will not have a dedicated office at the Company’s corporate offices.

2.Salary and Benefits. Through the earlier of August 29, 2014 or Executive’s death, disability, or voluntary resignation of his position as Consulting Officer: (a) Executive shall continue to receive his annual base salary at the rate in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date, which shall be paid pursuant to the Company’s regular payroll schedule and practices; and (b) Executive, his spouse and his dependents shall have the ability to continue to participate in all benefit plans of the Company on the same terms that they participated in such plans immediately prior to the Effective Date.

1

3.Terms of Termination. In consideration for Executive’s agreement as set forth herein, and subject to Executive’s execution of the general release of claims in favor of the Company that is attached hereto as Attachment A (the “Release”) no sooner than three (3) days prior to the Date of Termination and no later than twenty-one (21) days following the Date of Termination, and such Release becoming effective without being revoked by Executive during the revocation period described in the Release, the Company agrees to the following terms:

(a)Cash Payment.

(i)Except in the case of Executive’s voluntary resignation or termination by the Company for Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement), the Executive shall receive a cash payment equal to $825,000 (the “Cash Payment”).

(ii)In the event Executive’s employment is terminated as a result of Executive’s voluntary resignation or by the Company for Cause, then Executive will not be entitled to receive the Cash Payment.

(iii)If Executive is entitled to receive the Cash Payment, then it shall paid in a lump sum on the thirtieth (30^th) day following the Date of Termination.

(b)Medical, Dental and Life Insurance Benefits.Until December 31, 2014 or such earlier date indicated by Executive to the Company in writing, the Company shall maintain in full force and effect, for the continued benefit of Executive, his spouse and his dependents the medical, hospitalization, dental and life insurance programs in which Executive, his spouse and his dependents were participating immediately prior to the Date of Termination at the level in effect and upon substantially the same terms and conditions (including, without limitation, contributions required by Executive for such benefits) as existed immediately prior to the Date of Termination; provided, that, if Executive, his spouse or his dependents cannot continue to participate in the Company programs providing such benefits, the Company shall (subject to the next following sentence) arrange to provide Executive, his spouse and his dependents with the economic equivalent of such benefits that they otherwise would have been entitled to receive under such plans and programs. The Company and Executive agree that for purposes of the preceding sentence, “economic equivalent” shall mean an amount in cash, paid on the first day of each month in which the Executive, his spouse and his dependents do not participate in the Company programs providing such benefits, that is sufficient to enable Executive to purchase coverage for such benefits on the open market for such month, as reasonably determined by the Company; provided, that the aggregate total of all such cash amounts shall in no event exceed $10,000.

(c)Restricted Stock; Stock Options. Executive previously has been awarded one or more restricted stock grants under which 58,240 shares of the Company’s common stock have not vested as of the Effective Date (the “Unvested Shares”). The parties agree that, so long as Executive’s employment is not terminated prior to August 29, 2014 as a result of Executive’s voluntary resignation or by the Company for Cause, then on the Date of Termination the portion of the Unvested Shares that remain unvested as of such date shall vest. In the event Executive’s employment is terminated as a result of Executive’s voluntary resignation or by the Company for Cause, then the Unvested Shares will not vest and will be forfeited. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any stock option award agreement between the Executive and the Company, any unexercised portion of any stock option previously granted to Executive shall automatically terminate and become null and void six months after the Date of Termination, provided that in the event Executive’s employment is terminated prior to August 29, 2014 as a result of Executive’s voluntary resignation or by the Company for Cause, then the unexercised portion of any stock option previously granted to Executive shall automatically terminate and become null and void three months after the Date of Termination.

2

(d)Contingent Restricted Stock. A portion of the 582,412 shares of restricted stock granted to Executive pursuant to the Contingent Grant (as defined in the Employment Agreement) equal to 582,412 multiplied by the Benchmark Fraction shall vest as of the Date of Termination. As used in this Section 3, “Benchmark Fraction” means: (i) if the Primary Benchmark (as defined in the Employment Agreement) has been achieved for the period from January 1, 2011 through the Date of Termination, one (1); (ii) if the Primary Benchmark has not been achieved, and the Secondary Benchmark (as defined in the Employment Agreement) has been achieved, for the period from January 1, 2011 through the Date of Termination, one-half (1/2); or (iii) if neither the Primary Benchmark nor the Secondary Benchmark has been achieved for the period from January 1, 2011 through the Date of Termination, zero (0). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Executive’s employment is terminated as a result of Executive’s voluntary resignation or by the Company for Cause prior to August 29, 2014, then the Contingent Grant Shares (as defined in the Employment Agreement) will not vest and will be forfeited.

(e) All payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll policies and shall be subject to any and all payroll tax, withholding and other deductions.

(f) The payments to Executive called for in this Agreement upon the termination of his employment for any reason are the sole payment obligations of the Company to Executive arising as a consequence of any termination of his employment, and shall supersede any and all payment obligations to Executive set forth in his Employment Agreement.

4.Accrued Benefits. Executive shall receive any amounts earned, accrued or owing but not yet paid to Executive as of Executive’s Date of Termination, including, but not limited to, unpaid base salary earned by Executive through the Date of Termination and unreimbursed expenses incurred by Executive in the discharge of his duties hereunder, payable in a lump sum. Any benefits accrued or earned will be distributed in accordance with the terms of the applicable benefit plans and programs of the Company.

5.Company Car. On the Date of Termination, Executive shall be permitted to purchase the automobile that has been provided to him by the Company for his business use at a price of $30,000 plus applicable taxes, which amount may be paid in whole or part through deduction from the amount otherwise owing to Executive pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof. Executive will be responsible for costs and fees relating to the vehicle’s change in title and registration. If Executive purchases the automobile, he accepts the vehicle in “as is” condition without any warranty from the Company as to the vehicle’s condition.

6.Return of Company Property. On the Date of Termination, Executive is required to return all property of the Company to the Company. The Company’s property includes, but is not limited to, building I.D. and name tags, office keys, the Company car and car keys (if not purchased from the Company pursuant to Section 5 above), the Company computer and/or laptop, BlackBerry, iPad, all computer files and software, diskettes, compact disks, samples, cases, brochures, papers, notes, and other documents, and all copies of same, relating to the Company, its business, and its customers, that Executive has acquired by virtue of Executive’s employment.

3

7.Restrictive Covenants. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of Section 10 and subjections (b), (c) and (d) of Section 11 of the Employment Agreement shall apply following the Date of Termination (without regard to the reason for the termination of Executive’s employment) and shall remain in effect for a period of one (1) year following the Date of Termination. The Company hereby consents to Executive’s acceptance of employment with, and agreement to work for, Vornado Realty Trust and a public company to be spun off from Vornado Realty Trust (collectively, “Vornado”) and the Company shall not assert that the acceptance of such employment or provision of services to Vornado is a violation of the non-competition provisions set forth in Section 11(a) of the Employment Agreement. Further, the Company acknowledges and agrees that Section 11(a) of the Employment Agreement shall not apply following the Date of Termination.

8.Continued Cooperation. Executive acknowledges that the Company may need to consult with Executive from time to time on a reasonable basis after Executive’s Date of Termination on matters that Executive had worked on prior to the Date of Termination. Executive agrees to continue to reasonably cooperate with the Company and its affiliates and to provide any such information as is reasonably requested by the Company or its affiliates at no cost or expense to Executive, in each case only at such times as are convenient to Executive taking into account his other business and other commitments. At the Company’s request, Executive shall also complete a Form 5 questionnaire with respect to his trades in the Company’s stock consummated within six months of the Date of Termination.

9. Non-Disparagement. Executive agrees that Executive will not disparage, or make any statement reflecting negatively on, the Company or its affiliated corporations or entities, any individual who was a director or officer of the Company during Executive’s tenure as Chief Executive Officer of the Company or the employees of the Company as a group, including, but not limited to, with respect to any matters relating to the operation or management of the Company, Executive’s employment and the termination of Executive’s employment, irrespective of the truthfulness or falsity of such statement. The Company agrees that it will not disparage, or make any statement reflecting negatively on, Executive, including, but not limited to, with respect to any matters relating to Executive’s employment and the termination of Executive’s employment, irrespective of the truthfulness or falsity of such statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 9 shall preclude Executive or the Company from making truthful and accurate statements or disclosures that are required by applicable laws or legal process.

10.Breach of Agreement. Executive agrees and recognizes that the consideration to be paid to Executive pursuant to this Agreement is in consideration for Executive performing his obligations arising pursuant to this Agreement. Accordingly, in the event Executive materially breaches his obligations or covenants set forth in this Agreement or the Release, the Company will have no obligation to provide Executive with any of the consideration set forth in this Agreement, and if such consideration has already been provided to Executive, the Company will have the right to seek and obtain repayment of all or a portion of the consideration paid to Executive pursuant to this Agreement. Further, Executive acknowledges that in the event of a material breach of this Agreement or the Release, the Company and the Released Parties (as defined in the Release) may seek any and all appropriate relief for any such breach, including equitable relief and/or money damages.

11.Entire Agreement; Amendments.

Executive consents and submits to the jurisdiction, including, without limitation, personal jurisdiction, of such courts and the forum and venue of such courts. Executive hereby agrees not to raise any defense or objection, under the theory of forum non conveniens or otherwise, with respect to the jurisdiction of any such courts.

The Company recognizes that the Chairman’s talents, abilities and stature in the industry are unique and have been, and in the future will be, integral to the success of the Company. The Company believes that it is valuable to the Company to retain the services of the Chairman beyond the term of the Existing Chairman Compensation Agreement and that the Chairman’s continuing contribution to the growth of the Company in the future will be substantial. The Company desires to provide for the continued involvement of the Chairman beyond the term of the Existing Chairman Compensation Agreement on terms that will encourage the Chairman to continue to attempt to increase the value of the Company. The Chairman is willing to remain involved with the Company under the terms and conditions provided herein.

In order to effect the foregoing, the Company and the Chairman wish to enter into an agreement on the terms and conditions set forth below. Accordingly, in consideration of the premises and the respective covenants and agreements of the parties herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follow:

The Company desires to continue to retain the Chairman as of and after the Effective Date (as defined below), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and the Chairman desires to be so involved with the Company.

IN CONSIDERATION of the premises and the mutual covenants set forth below, the parties hereby agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

1. Arrangement. The terms and conditions of the Chairman’s retention by the Company through December 31, 2014 are and shall continue to be governed by the terms and conditions set forth in the Existing Chairman Compensation Agreement. Unless the Existing Chairman Compensation Agreement is terminated on or prior to December 31, 2014 in accordance with the terms thereof (other than as a result or consequence of the expiration of the term thereof), then the “ Effective Date” of this Agreement shall be January 1, 2015. Commencing on the Effective Date, the terms and conditions of the Chairman’s retention by the Company shall be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In the event the Existing Chairman Compensation Agreement is terminated prior to December 31, 2014 in accordance with the terms thereof (other than as a result or consequence of the expiration of the term thereof), then this Agreement shall not become effective and the Company shall have no obligations or liabilities hereunder.

1

2. Term. The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall commence on the Effective Date and (subject to its earlier termination in accordance with the terms hereof) shall continue through December 31, 2017. Unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms hereof, this Agreement and the Term automatically shall be renewed annually thereafter, unless either party gives the other party prior written notice at least 90 days before the expiration of the Term of that party’s intent not to renew this Agreement.

3. Position and Duties.

(a) Chairman. At all times during the Term, subject to the Chairman’s election to the Board and appointment as Chairman thereof, the Chairman shall serve as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company (“Board”) and (except as provided in the next following sentence) shall report solely and directly to the Board. During the Term, the Chairman shall be reasonably available to management and to the Board between Board meetings to counsel and advise the Board and management, including providing advice to management with respect to operations, investments and divestitures. The Chairman shall have those powers and duties normally associated with such position and such other powers and duties as the Board properly may from time to time reasonably prescribe, provided that such other powers and duties are consistent with the Chairman’s position at that time, including, without limitation, such other duties as are not otherwise provided for herein and (unless otherwise agreed to by the Chairman) are not materially more burdensome that those previously performed by the Chairman. The Chief Executive Officer of the Company shall continue to report to the Chairman and the Board.

(b) Director. During the Term, the Company agrees to nominate the Chairman as a member of the Board for each successive term and use reasonable good faith efforts to cause the Chairman to be elected as a member and appointed Chairman of the Board, including, without limitation, recommending the Chairman to be elected as a member of the Board in the proxy statement distributed to stockholders regarding the election of members of the Board; provided, however, that the Company’s obligations under the foregoing provisions of this Section 3(b) shall no longer apply if the Chairman has been removed from the Board pursuant to Section 5.8 of the Company’s charter (or under any similar future provision under the Company’s charter) or has not been elected to the Board at a prior annual meeting of shareholders for the election of members to the Board.

(c) Other Activities by Chairman.

Furthermore, the Chairman may, directly or indirectly, engage in any businesses, without limitation, outside the United States. The Company’s consent to such other activities shall not relieve the Chairman of any obligations that may exist at any time to disclose to the Company any related party transactions with the Company, nor shall such consent affect any practices, policies or procedures the Company may from time to time implement to manage or authorize any related party transactions.

The Company shall reimburse the Chairman for all reasonable expenses incurred by him in the discharge of his duties hereunder, including travel expenses, upon the presentation of reasonably itemized statements of such expenses in accordance with the Company’s policies and procedures now in force or as such policies and procedures may be modified with respect to all senior executive officers of the Company.

Any use by Executive of private aircraft shall be subject to the Company’s Private and Chartered Aircraft Travel and Expense Reporting and Reimbursement Policy as that may be amended from time to time.

(e) Registration. The shares of Restricted Stock awarded to the Chairman in accordance with Section 5(b) above shall be covered by and issued pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor or replacement form) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

(f) Register Existing Shares. If, at any time during the term of this Agreement, the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act, the Company shall give the Chairman the right and opportunity to register, each time that the Company so proposes, any or all securities of the Company held by the Chairman, including, any stock options and securities subject to such stock options. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit or modify any registration rights granted to the Chairman by the Company pursuant to any other contract or arrangement, including, without limitation, the Existing Chairman Compensation Agreement.

(g) No Hedging. In consideration for his entitlement to receive incentive compensation as provided herein in the form of shares of Restricted Stock, the Chairman agrees that neither he nor any member of his immediate family (as such term is defined in paragraph (a)(iii) of Instruction 1 to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K) nor any Controlled Private Entity (as hereinafter defined) will purchase any financial instruments (including puts, calls, options, derivative securities, prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds) that are designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of equity securities of the Company that (i) have been granted to the Chairman by the Company as part of the compensation of the Chairman (including the Restricted Stock granted and issued pursuant to this Agreement) or (ii) are held by the Chairman, by any member of his immediate family or by any entity that (A) is not a “publicly traded company” (which term includes, without limitation, any company that files reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, whether voluntarily, pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or as a result of having a class of its securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act; any company whose securities are quoted or traded on any domestic over-the-counter or other securities market; and any company whose securities are listed for trading or quoted on any foreign stock exchange, foreign over-the-counter market or other foreign securities market), and (B) of which at least 75% of the equity interests (whether directly or through one or more intermediaries) are owned by the Chairman and/or the Chairman’s immediate family member(s) (as such term is defined in paragraph (a)(iii) of Instruction 1 to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K) (a “Controlled Private Entity”). Solely for purposes of clause (B) above in determining the percentage of the equity interests in any company that is owned through one or more intermediaries by the Chairman and/or the Chairman’s immediate family member(s), the Chairman and/or the Chairman’s immediate family member(s) shall be deemed to own only that equity percentage that is the product of their ownership interest in the successive layers of ownership. By way of example only, if the Chairman and/or the Chairman’s immediate family member(s) own 80% of the equity interest in company A, which in turn owns 60% of the equity interest in company B, then the Chairman and/or the Chairman’s immediate family member(s) shall be deemed to own a 48% equity interest in company B.

6. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated during the Term under the following circumstances:

(a) Death. This Agreement shall terminate automatically upon the Chairman’s death.

5

(b) Disability. If, as a result of the Chairman’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness, the Chairman shall have been substantially unable to perform his duties hereunder for an entire period in excess of one hundred twenty (120) days in any 12-month period, the Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as a result of the Chairman’s “Disability”, and such termination in and of itself shall not be, nor shall it be deemed to be, a breach of this Agreement.

(c) Without Cause. The Company shall have the right, subject to appropriate action of the Board, to terminate this Agreement for any reason or for no reason, which termination shall be deemed to be without Cause, and such termination in and of itself shall not be, nor shall it be deemed to be, a breach of this Agreement. The Company shall not take action under this subsection (c) unless and until the Company has delivered to the Chairman a copy of a resolution duly adopted by sixty-six and two-thirds (66-2/3) or more of the Board (excluding Chairman and any officer or employee of the Company for purposes of determining such threshold) at a meeting of the Board called and held for such purpose, approving and authorizing such action.

(d) Cause. The Company shall have the right, subject to appropriate action of the Board, to terminate this Agreement with Cause, and such termination in and of itself shall not be, nor shall it be deemed to be, a breach of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the Company shall have “Cause” to terminate this Agreement upon the Chairman’s:

(i) Breach of any material provisions of this Agreement;

(ii) Indictment for a felony, capital crime or any crime involving moral turpitude, including, but not limited to, crimes involving illegal drugs; or

(iii) Willful misconduct in or relating to the performance of Chairman’s duties, using property, or while on the premises, of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or while acting or purporting to act as a director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

For purposes of this Section 6(d), no act, or failure to act, by the Chairman shall be considered “willful” unless committed in bad faith and without a reasonable belief that the act or omission was in the best interests of the Company; provided, however, that the willful requirement outlined in paragraphs (iii) above shall be deemed to have occurred if the Chairman’s action or non-action continues for more than ten (10) days after the Chairman has received written notice of the inappropriate action or non-action. Failure to achieve performance goals, in and of itself, shall not be grounds for a termination with Cause.

6

Cause shall not exist under paragraph (i) or (iii) above unless and until the Company has delivered to the Chairman a copy of a resolution duly adopted by sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) or more of the Board (excluding the Chairman and any officer or employee of the Company for purposes of determining such threshold) at a meeting of the Board called and held for such purpose, finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board, the Chairman was guilty of the conduct set forth in paragraph (i) or (iii) and specifying the particulars thereof in detail. However, in the case of conduct described in paragraph (i), Cause will not be considered to exist unless (a) the Chairman is given notice of such breach and (b) if such breach can reasonably be cured within forty-five (45) days, such breach has been cured within forty-five (45) days after the date of such notice to the satisfaction of sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) or more of the Board (excluding the Chairman and any officer or employee of the Company for purposes of determining such threshold) or, if such breach cannot reasonably be cured within such forty-five (45) days, the Chairman has promptly commenced to cure such breach, has thereafter diligently taken all appropriate steps to cure such breach as quickly are reasonably practical and has cured such breach within ninety (90) days after the date of such notice, all to the satisfaction of sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) or more of the Board (excluding the Chairman and any officer or employee of the Company for purposes of determining such threshold).

(e) Voluntary Termination by the Chairman. The Chairman shall have the right at any time to terminate this Agreement by providing the Company with Notice of Termination as provided in Section 7 below. Any termination pursuant to this paragraph shall not in and of itself be, nor shall it be deemed to be, a breach of this Agreement.

(f) Termination of Agreement for Good Reason. The Chairman shall have the right to terminate this Agreement for Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means:

(i) the material breach by the Company of any of its agreements set forth herein and the failure of the Company to correct such breach within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Company of written notice from the Chairman specifying in reasonable detail the nature of such breach; or

(ii) subject to Section 3(b), failure to recommend to the Company’s stockholders the Chairman’s election to the Board or the failure of the Board to nominate or elect him as Chairman of the Board.

(g) Termination by Company’s Shareholders. If the Chairman is removed from the Board, as provided in Section 5.8 of the Company’s charter (or under any similar future provision under the Company’s charter), then this Agreement shall immediately terminate. For purposes of Section 8 of this Agreement, termination pursuant to this subsection (g) shall be considered “termination with Cause.”

7. Termination Procedure.

(a) Notice of Termination. Any termination of this Agreement by the Company or by the Chairman during the Term, except termination due to the Chairman’s death pursuant to Section 6(a), shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice that states the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for such termination under the provision so stated. Any Notice of Termination given by the Chairman shall be deemed a resignation by the Chairman as Chairman of the Board and as a member of the Board; provided, however, that the Board may, in its sole and absolute discretion, waive such resignation without affecting the Chairman's rights hereunder as a result of his giving such Notice of Termination.

(b) Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” shall mean (i) if the Chairman shall die or become incapacitated (as contemplated by Section 6(b)), the date of his death or Disability, and (ii) if this Agreement is terminated for any other reason, the date on which a Notice of Termination is given or any later date (within thirty (30) days after the giving of such Notice of Termination) set forth in such Notice of Termination.

(iv) the Company shall continue Chairman’s and his eligible family member’s medical, hospital and dental insurance benefits under COBRA (to the extent COBRA is applicable), with the payments of any premiums made by the Company, until the earlier of (x) December 31, 2017, and (y) the end of Chairman’s COBRA eligibility.

(c) Termination by the Company with Cause or By Chairman other than for Good Reason. If this Agreement is terminated by the Company with Cause or if the Chairman terminates this Agreement other than for Good Reason:

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Chairman’s right to receive any termination payments hereunder and to receive any other benefit or consideration upon the termination of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the vesting of any unvested stock options or unvested restricted stock granted to the Chairman), and the Company’s obligation to make such termination payments or to provide any such other benefit or consideration, is subject to the execution by the Chairman or his legal representative of a release substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, the delivery of such release to the Company and the lapse (without revocation) of any revocation period provided for therein.

(f) Cash in Lieu of Shares.

(g) Expiration of This Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties confirm that, upon the expiration of the Term, the non-renewal of this Agreement or the termination of Chairman’s retention hereunder for any reason or for no reason shall not be considered a termination by Company without Cause or termination by the Chairman for Good Reason, and the Chairman shall not be entitled to any termination payments as a consequence thereof.

A-2

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO SUBSTANTIAL VESTING AND OTHER RESTRICTIONS AS SET FORTH IN THE RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THE SHARES, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER. SUCH RESTRICTIONS ARE BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES, AND INCLUDE VESTING CONDITIONS WHICH MAY RESULT IN THE COMPLETE FORFEITURE OF THE SHARES.

(b)    The Recipient shall, at the Company’s request, deposit with the Company stock powers or other instruments of transfer or assignment, duly endorsed in blank with signature(s) guaranteed, corresponding to each certificate representing shares of Restricted Stock until such shares become Vested Shares.

(c)    On or after the Applicable Date, upon written request to the Company by the Recipient, the Company shall promptly cause a new certificate or certificates to be issued for and with respect to all Vested Shares, which certificate(s) shall be delivered to the Recipient within ten (10) business days of the date of receipt by the Company of the Recipient’s written request. The new certificate or certificates shall continue to bear those legends and endorsements that the Company shall deem necessary or appropriate.

(d)     If the Company is authorized to issue shares without certificates, then the Company may, in the discretion of the Board or the Committee, issue shares pursuant to this Agreement without certificates (including by means of issuance in book-entry form with the Company’s stock transfer agent), in which case any references in this Agreement to certificates shall instead refer to whatever evidence may be issued to reflect the Recipient’s ownership of the shares subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

SECTION 4.    Cessation of Services. Subject to Section 2 above, unless the Board or Committee shall determine otherwise, in its sole discretion, or unless any written agreement between the Recipient and the Company provides to the contrary, including, without limitation, the Compensation Agreement, if the Recipient ceases to serve as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company for any reason, any Non-Vested Shares shall be forfeited immediately upon such event or occurrence and revert back to the Company, without any payment or other consideration to the Recipient.

If any such adjustment shall result in a fractional share, such fraction shall be disregarded.

(c)    Notwithstanding any term or provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the existence of this Agreement, or of any outstanding Restricted Stock awarded hereunder, shall not affect in any manner the right, power or authority of the Company to make, authorize or consummate: (i) any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its business; (ii) any merger, consolidation or similar transaction by or of the Company; (iii) any offer, issue or sale by the Company of any capital stock of the Company, including any equity or debt securities, or preferred or preference stock that would rank prior to or on parity with the Restricted Stock and/or that would include, have or possess other rights, benefits and/or preferences superior to those that the Restricted Stock includes, has or possesses, or any warrants, options or rights with respect to any of the foregoing; (iv) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company; (v) any sale, transfer or assignment of all or any part of the stock, assets or business of the Company; or (vi) any other corporate transaction, act or proceeding (whether of a similar character or otherwise).

Upon any attempt to transfer Non-Vested Shares, or in the event of any levy upon any of such shares by reason of any execution, attachment or similar process contrary to the provisions hereof, such Non-Vested Shares shall immediately and without notice terminate, be forfeited and be and become null and void.
