Shares Available. The aggregate number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan shall be 900,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, less any shares of the Company’s common stock for any awards made under the Predecessor Plan after March 2, 2018 and before the Effective Date, subject to the share counting provisions and adjustment procedures set forth in [subsection (b) and (c)])] below. In addition, shares of Common Stock underlying any outstanding award granted under the Predecessor Plan that, following the Effective Date, expires, or is terminated, surrendered or forfeited for any reason without issuance of such shares shall be available for the grant of new Awards under this Plan. For this purpose, for any performance-vesting share-based awards granted under the Predecessor Plan that become earned after the Effective Date, # any shares earned shall be satisfied from the Predecessor Plan share pool to the extent available, # any shares earned in excess of the Predecessor Plan share pool shall be issued from the aggregate number of Shares available for issuance under this Plan, and # any shares that are not earned as a result of performance results shall be treated as forfeitures in accordance with the preceding sentence. In no event may more than 900,000 Shares be issued pursuant to Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan, subject to adjustment pursuant to subsection # below.

Subject to adjustment under [Section 14], the total number of shares of Common Stock authorized to be awarded under the Plan shall not exceed 145.0 million. In addition, shares of Common Stock authorized and/or underlying any outstanding award granted under the Predecessor Plans that, following the Effective Date, expires, or is terminated, surrendered or forfeited for any reason without issuance of such shares shall be available for the grant of new Awards under this Plan. As provided in Section 1, no new awards shall be granted under the Predecessor Plans following the Effective Date. Shares issued under the Plan may consist in whole or in part of authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares, or shares purchased on the open market or otherwise, all as determined by the Company from time to time.

Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 3.4, as of the Effective Date, the total number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under this Plan shall be 439,000, which may be issued entirely through Incentive Stock Options or through a combination of any one or more of the forms of Awards permitted under the Plan. For avoidance of doubt, all shares issued under this Plan to the extent they are unused (e.g., due to expiration, forfeiture, cancelation or otherwise) shall be able to be reissued in accordance with Section 3.3.

Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 10.1, the number of shares of Common Stock issued or transferred and covered by outstanding awards granted under this Plan from and after the Effective Date shall not in the aggregate exceed 8,243,790 shares (the “Share Reserve”), which number is the sum of # 2,750,000 shares originally added to the Share Reserve in connection with the Company’s original adoption of the Plan, plus # an additional 4,000,000 shares that were approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders in December 2020, plus # the number of shares subject to the Prior Plan’s Available Reserve, plus # the Prior Plan’s Returning Shares, if any, which become available for grant under this Plan from time to time. The shares may be Common Stock of original issuance or Common Stock held in treasury, or a combination thereof. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.1 regarding adjustments in the event of stock splits, reverse stock splits and other recapitalization events, the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options shall be 13,500,000. The Company shall at all times during the term of the Plan, and while any Stock Awards are outstanding, retain as authorized and unissued Common Stock or as treasury Common Stock, at least the number of shares of Common Stock required under the provisions of this Plan, or otherwise assure itself of its ability to perform its obligations hereunder.

SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN. Subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 14(a) hereof, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued with respect to Awards granted under the Plan shall not exceed 2,500,000, including such aggregate number of shares that have been reserved for issuance and are subject to unvested Awards under the Prior Plan (the “Share Pool Limit”). At all times during the term of the Plan, the Company shall allocate and keep available such number of shares of Common Stock as will be required to satisfy the requirements of outstanding Awards under the Plan. Except for shares of Common Stock issued with respect to Awards that are assumed or substituted as a result of the Company’s acquisition of another company (including by way of merger, combination or similar transaction), the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan shall be reduced by the number of shares of Common Stock issued in connection with the exercise or settlement of an Award or used to determine the amount of cash paid in connection with the exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights and the settlement of Phantom Stock Awards. Any shares of Common Stock # covered by an Award (or a portion of an Award) that is forfeited or canceled or that expires or # except as provided below, that otherwise would be issued but are withheld in respect of taxes (up to the maximum statutory rate), shall be deemed not to have been issued for purposes of determining the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued under the Share Pool Limit and shall remain available for Awards under the Plan; provided that the following shall not remain available for Awards under the Plan and shall count against the Share Pool Limit: # any shares tendered or withheld to pay the exercise price of, or tax withholding obligations related to, Awards, # any shares repurchased by the Company from a Participant with the proceeds from the exercise of Options and # any shares reserved for issuance under a Stock Appreciation Right Award that exceed the number of shares actually issued upon exercise. The shares to be delivered under the Plan shall be made available from # authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, # Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company or # previously issued shares of Common Stock reacquired by the Company, including shares purchased on the open market, in each case as the Committee may determine from time to time in its sole discretion. Subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 14(a), no more than 1,750,000 shares of Common Stock may be issued in the aggregate pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options.

Shares Available for Awards. The maximum number of Shares that may be delivered pursuant to Awards under the Plan shall be # 10,000,000, plus # any Shares available for issuance under the Plan not issued or subject to outstanding Awards under such plan as of the Effective Date. For purposes of this limitation, Shares underlying any Awards that are forfeited, canceled, held back upon exercise of an Option or settlement of an Award to cover the exercise price or tax withholding, reacquired by the Company prior to vesting, satisfied without the issuance of Common Stock or otherwise terminated (other than by exercise) under the Plan shall be added back to the Shares available for issuance under the Plan and, to the extent permitted under Section 422 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, the Shares that may be issued as Incentive Stock Options. The Shares available for delivery under this Plan may consist of authorized and unissued Shares, Shares held in treasury, Shares of Common Stock purchased or held by the Company for purposes of this Plan, or any combination thereof.

Shares Available for Awards. Subject to the adjustment provisions and to the counting provisions in this [Section 7.11], the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under all awards under this Plan to be settled in shares of Common Stock shall equal the sum of # 2,000,000, no more than 800,000 of which shall be grants of Restricted Stock and # shares granted or available for grant under the Plan prior to the amendment effective January 1, 2021. The number of shares of Common Stock represented by awards to any one person in any one calendar year shall not exceed 60,000. Awards granted prior to the amendment of this Plan effective January 1, 2021 shall remain in effect in accordance with their respective terms and, if shares under such awards are forfeited, unearned or not purchased, such shares shall be added back to the number reserved in accordance with the provisions of [Section 7.11(b)(i)]. The numbers reserved shall be adjusted as necessary or appropriate as determined by the Compensation Committee in the event of a substantial corporate event which affects the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.

Aggregate Limit. Subject to adjustment as set forth in [Section 4(d)], the total number of shares of Common Stock reserved and available for grant and issuance pursuant to Awards under the Plan is equal to 475,000 shares (the “Share Reserve”), the full amount of which may be issued under the Plan through the exercise of Incentive Stock Options. For purposes of counting shares against the Share Reserve, Awards denominated in shares of Common Stock and other Awards that may be exercised for, settled in or convertible into shares of Common Stock will be counted against the Plan reserve on the date of grant of the Award based on the maximum number of shares that may be issued pursuant to the Award, as determined by the Committee. Shares of Common Stock delivered under the Plan shall consist of authorized and unissued shares, treasury shares, forfeited shares and/or shares reacquired by the Company in any manner. As of the Effective Date, no further awards shall be made under the Company’s 2019 Equity Incentive Plan or any other prior equity incentive plans of the Company (but such plans shall remain in effect as to awards made thereunder that are still outstanding as of the Effective Date).

Number of Shares Available. Subject to [Sections 2.6 and 21] and any other applicable provisions hereof, the total number of Shares reserved and available for grant and issuance pursuant to this Plan as of the date of adoption of the Plan by the Board, is 1,000,000, plus # any reserved shares not issued or subject to outstanding grants under the Company’s 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Prior Plan”) on the Effective Date, # shares that are subject to stock options or other awards granted under the Prior Plan that cease to be subject to such stock options or other awards, by forfeiture or otherwise, after the Effective Date, # shares issued under the Prior Plan before or after the Effective Date pursuant to the exercise of stock options that are forfeited after the Effective Date, # shares issued under the Prior Plan that are repurchased by the Company at the original issue price and # shares that are subject to stock options or other awards under the Prior Plan that are used to pay the exercise price of an option or withheld to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to any award.
