Effective
October 31, 2009, the Board of Directors of RF Industries, Ltd. (the
“Corporation”) granted to James Doss, the Corporation’s Chief Financial Officer
and Secretary, a ten-year option to purchase an aggregate of up to 90,000 shares
of the Corporation’s common stock. The options have an exercise price
of $4.05, a price equal to the closing price of the Corporation’s common stock
on October 30, 2009 (the last trading day before the options became
effective). The option granted to Mr. Doss shall vest and become
exercisable in annual increments of 10,000 shares each, with the first increment
of 10,000 shares vesting on October 31, 2010, and future increments of 10,000
shares vesting over each of the following eight years on October 31 of each such
subsequent year; provided, however, that each
increment of 10,000 shares shall only vest if Mr. Doss is still an employee of
the Corporation on each vesting date. The option was granted pursuant
to the Corporation’s standard form of stock option agreement, as previously
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
