On February 10, 2015, Digital Turbine, Inc.

The Alejandro Agreement has a two-year term with equity, salary and bonus compensation components. For the equity component, Mr. Alejandro will receive options for 100,000 shares of common stock under the Company’s equity incentive plan with an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Start Date. The options will vest over a four year term as follows: 25% on the first anniversary of the Start Date, then 75,000 on a monthly basis for the following three years. In the event of a Change of Control, as such term is defined in the Alejandro Agreement, all unvested options will vest immediately.
For the salary component, Mr. Alejandro will receive an annual salary of $182,500. For the bonus component, Mr. Alejandro will receive a retention bonus of $25,000 ninety (90) days following the Start Date and will be eligible to receive an annual performance bonus of up to 35% of his base salary. Mr. Alejandro’s bonus opportunity will be based on his satisfaction of performance-related milestones to be mutually agreed upon by the Company and Mr. Alejandro.
In the event Mr. Alejandro is terminated without cause or if he were to voluntarily resign for good reason, each as defined in the Alejandro Agreement, he would be entitled to receive his base salary for the shorter of balance of the term or nine (9) months after the termination date, continuation of any executive health and group health plan benefits to the extent authorized by COBRA for the same period, a pro-rata portion of any bonus that would have been earned through the termination date and, finally, acceleration of vesting of a pro-rata portion of options that would have vested had his vesting occurred on a monthly basis, advanced to the next month.
The Alejandro Agreement also contains customary provisions regarding intellectual property, confidentiality and non-solicitation and indemnification.
