Annual Award. Each Outside Director will be automatically granted an Award (an “Annual Award”) with a Value of $175,000 (rounded down to the nearest whole Share), which grant will be effective on the date of each Annual Meeting, beginning with the first Annual Meeting following the Registration Date; provided that any Outside Director who is not continuing as a Director following the applicable Annual Meeting will not receive an Annual Award with respect to such Annual Meeting. The Annual Award will be comprised solely of Restricted Stock Units.

Initial Award. Each individual who first becomes an Outside Director following the effective date of the Registration Statement (the “Registration Date”) and following the first annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders (an “Annual Meeting”) following the Registration Date will automatically be granted an Award (the “Initial Award”), which grant will be effective on the date on which such individual first becomes an Outside Director, whether through election by the stockholders of the Company or appointment by the Board to fill a vacancy. The Initial Award will have a Value (as defined below) of $175,000 multiplied by a fraction # the numerator of which is # 12 minus # the number of full months between the date of the last Annual Meeting and the date the Outside Director becomes a member of the Board and # the denominator of which is 12 (with the result rounded down to the nearest whole Share). For example, if nine months have lapsed between the last Annual Meeting and the Outside Director’s start date, his or her Initial Award will have a Value of $43,750. The Initial Award will be comprised solely of Restricted Stock Units.

Annual Grant. On the date of the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders, each Outside Director who will continue as a member of the Board following such annual meeting of stockholders will receive a restricted stock unit grant on the date of such Annual Meeting (the “Annual Grant”) with a Value of $200,000 that vests in full on the earlier of # the one-year anniversary of the grant date or # the next annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that all vesting will cease if the director ceases to provide services to the Company, unless the Board determines otherwise prior to the cessation of such services. An Outside Director may elect to receive cash in lieu of an Annual Grant, but must meet certain criteria as outlined in [Section II(g)] below. In the event that an Outside Director elects to receive cash in lieu of the Annual Grant, the cash payment will occur in the same manner and frequency as the Annual Cash Retainer.

Annual Award. On the first Trading Day immediately following each Annual Meeting of the Company’s stockholders (an “Annual Meeting”) that occurs after the Effective Date, each Outside Director who has been serving as an Outside Director for at least six (6) months as of the date of such Annual Meeting automatically will be granted an award of Options (an “Annual Award”) to purchase a number of Shares having a Value of $379,000, with any resulting fraction rounded down to the nearest whole Share. Each Annual Award will be scheduled to vest on the earlier of # the one-year anniversary of the date the Annual Award is granted or # the day prior to the date of the Annual Meeting next following the date the Annual Award is granted, in each case, subject to the Outside Director continuing to be Service Provider through the applicable vesting date.

Annual Award. On the first Trading Day immediately following each Annual Meeting of the Company’s stockholders (an “Annual Meeting”) that occurs after the Effective Date, each Outside Director who has been serving as an Outside Director for at least six (6) months as of the date of such Annual Meeting automatically will be granted an award of Options (an “Annual Award”) to purchase a number of Shares having a Value of $220,000, with any resulting fraction rounded down to the nearest whole Share. Each Annual Award will be scheduled to vest on the earlier of # the one-year anniversary of the date the Annual Award is granted or # the day prior to the date of the Annual Meeting next following the date the Annual Award is granted, in each case, subject to the Outside Director continuing to be Service Provider through the applicable vesting date.

Initial Grant. Each new Outside Director will receive an initial, one-time restricted stock unit grant, with a Value of $400,000 (the “Initial Grant”), that vests in three (3) equal installments on the first, second, and third anniversary of the grant date; provided, however, that all vesting will cease if the director ceases to provide services to the Company, unless the Board determines otherwise prior to the cessation of such services.

Annual Award: On each date of each Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company following the Effective Date (the “Annual Meeting”), each continuing Outside Director, who has been appointed to the Board of Directors for at least four months, will receive an annual stock option award (the “Annual Award”) to purchase 12,000 shares (provided that any such Outside Director not serving for the prior 12 months will have such grant pro-rated to reflect months of service in the prior year), which shall vest in full upon the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of the date of grant or (ii) the date of the next Annual Meeting; provided, however, that all vesting shall cease if the individual ceases to serve as a director, unless the Board of Directors determines that the circumstances warrant continuation of vesting. Such Annual Award shall expire ten years from the date of grant, and shall have a per share exercise price equal to the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Company’s 2022 Stock Option and Incentive Plan) of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

Annual Awards. Each Non-Employee Director who # serves on the Board as of the date of any annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders (an “Annual Meeting”) and # will continue to serve as a Non-Employee Director immediately following such Annual Meeting shall be automatically granted, on the date of such Annual Meeting, an award of restricted stock units that have an aggregate fair value on the date of such Annual Meeting of $200,000 (as determined in accordance with ASC 718 and with the number of shares of common stock underlying such award subject to adjustment as provided in the Equity Plan). The awards described in this Section 2(a) shall be referred to as the “Annual Awards.” For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company’s Annual Meeting does not occur by June 30 of each calendar year, each Non-Employee Director shall be automatically granted an Annual Award on June 30.

In addition to the fees set forth above, each independent director is granted restricted stock under the 2020 Outside Directors' Stock Award Plan (the "2020 Directors' Plan"). The 2020 Directors' Plan provides each independent director with a grant annually of a number of shares of restricted stock as determined by the Board in its discretion. For the 2022-2023 directors' year, the Board determined that the value of such restricted stock award would be $110,000 to each Outside Director, with the number of shares of restricted stock to be issued being determined based upon dividing such value by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant. The Board has determined that following her/his election at the 2023 Annual Meeting, the changes marked with asterisks above shall be effective, and all other provisions of the 2022-2023 Outside Directors' Fee Schedule remain in effect for the 2023-2024 director year, including that the value of such restricted stock award for the applicable directors' year will be $110,000 to each Outside Director, with the number of shares of restricted stock to be issued being determined based upon dividing such value by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant.

On the date of each annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders (or as soon as practicable thereafter), each Outside Director shall receive a grant of whole Restricted Shares or Stock Units equal to the quotient of # $175,000 or such other amount as is approved, from time to time, by the Board or Committee as part of the Company’s non-employee director compensation program, divided by # the Fair Market Value of a Share as of the grant date. The Restricted Shares or Stock Units granted under this Section 4(e)(i) shall vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant (or, if earlier, the date of the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders in the year following the date of grant). Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Restricted Share or Stock Unit granted under this Section 4(e)(i) shall become vested if a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company during the Outside Director’s Service.
