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 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.

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.

Initial Grant. Following the effective date of this Plan, each Director shall, effective as of the date of such individual’s initial election or appointment to the Board, be granted a Restricted Stock Unit Award with a grant-date value of approximately $200,000, rounded down to the nearest whole share.

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: An initial, one-time stock option award (the “Initial Award”) to purchase 24,000 shares will be granted to each new Outside Director upon his or her election to the Board of Directors, which shall vest in 36 equal monthly installments over three years from the date of grant, provided, however, that all vesting shall cease if the director resigns from the Board of Directors or otherwise ceases to serve as a director of the Company. The Initial 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 2020 Stock Option and Incentive Plan) of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. This Initial Award applies only to Outside Directors who are first elected to the Board of Directors subsequent to the Effective Date.

Initial Awards. Each individual who first becomes an Outside Director following the Effective Date will be granted an award of Options (an “Initial Award”) to purchase a number of Shares having a Value (as defined below) of $440,000, with any resulting fraction rounded down to the nearest whole Share. The Initial Award will be granted automatically on the first Trading Day on or after the date on which such individual first becomes an Outside Director (the first date as an Outside Director, the “Initial Start Date”), whether through election by the Company’s stockholders or appointment by the Board to fill a vacancy. If an individual was a member of the Board and also an employee, becoming an Outside Director due to termination of employment will not entitle the Outside Director to an Initial Award. Each Initial Award will be scheduled to vest as follows: One-thirty sixth (1/36th) of the Shares subject to the Initial Award will be scheduled to vest each month following the grant date, in each case subject to the Outside Director continuing to be a Service Provider through the applicable vesting date.

Initial Award: An initial, one-time stock option award (the “Initial Award”) to purchase 35,040 shares will be granted to each new Outside Director upon his or her election to the Board of Directors, which shall vest in equal annual installments over three years from the date of grant, provided, however, that all vesting shall cease if the director ceases to have a Service Relationship (as defined in the Company’s 2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan).

Initial Awards. Each individual who first becomes an Outside Director following the Effective Date will be granted an award of Options (an “Initial Award”) to purchase a number of Shares having a Value (as defined below) of $758,000, with any resulting fraction rounded down to the nearest whole Share. The Initial Award will be granted automatically on the first Trading Day on or after the date on which such individual first becomes an Outside Director (the first date as an Outside Director, the “Initial Start Date”), whether through election by the Company’s stockholders or appointment by the Board to fill a vacancy. If an individual was a member of the Board and also an employee, becoming an Outside Director due to termination of employment will not entitle the Outside Director to an Initial Award. Each Initial Award will be scheduled to vest as follows: One-thirty sixth (1/36th) of the Shares subject to the Initial Award will be scheduled to vest each month following the grant date, in each case subject to the Outside Director continuing to be a Service Provider through the applicable vesting date.
