Bonus Level: Your new bonus will be at Level 6 (see attachment).

Employee Stock Options: We are pleased to grant you an Option for 20,000 shares of Common Stock of Meridian under our 2012 Stock Incentive Plan. A copy of this Plan will be made available to you.

Long-Term Equity Incentive: In your new role, you will be eligible for time-based and performance based equity awards at the next grant date, typically in November of each year. The form of the award may be stock options, restricted stock or a combination of each. The form of the award, and the number of shares, is determined annually by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

Change in Control Agreement: You will be eligible for double-trigger protection for Change-in-Control events, by policy. In addition, per policy, you will receive employment protection in the event a new CEO is hired and your job duties are materially diminished.
