+Added: will be evidenced by an award agreement that specifies the terms of the award and such additional limitations, terms and conditions as
+Added: the compensation committee may determine, consistent with the provisions of the 2021 Plan.
+Added: determined by the compensation committee in its discretion, restricted share units and other share-based awards may provide the participant
+Added: with a deferred and contingent right to receive dividend equivalents, either in cash or in additional shares.
+Added: Any such dividend equivalents
+Added: will be accumulated or deemed reinvested until such time as the underlying award becomes vested (including, where applicable, vesting
+Added: based on the achievement of performance objectives).
+Added: No dividend equivalents may be granted with respect to shares underlying any stock
+Added: option or SAR.
+Added: a participant is a party to an employment, retention, change in control, severance or similar agreement with the Company or a subsidiary
+Added: that addresses the effect of a change in control on the participant’s awards, then that agreement will control the treatment of
+Added: the participant’s awards under the 2021 Plan in the event of a change in control.
+Added: In all other cases, the compensation committee
+Added: retains the discretion to determine the treatment of awards granted under the 2021 Plan in the event of a change in control.

+Added: common stock, other than acquisitions directly from, or by, the Company or by any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the
+Added: Company, and the consummation of a reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
+Added: Company’s assets, unless, following such transaction, the Company’s stockholders own more than 50% of the common stock of
+Added: the resulting entity in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Company’s common stock prior to the transaction,
+Added: no stockholder beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the outstanding common stock of the entity resulting from such
+Added: transaction (except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the transaction), and at least a majority of the members of the
+Added: board of directors of the resulting entity were members of the Company’s board of directors at the time of the transaction.
+Added: 2021 Plan contains the complete, detailed definition of change in control.
+Added: the event of any equity restructuring, such as a stock dividend, stock split, spin-off, rights offering or recapitalization through a
+Added: large, nonrecurring cash dividend, the compensation committee will adjust the number and kind of shares that may be delivered under the
+Added: 2021 Plan, the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding awards and the exercise price or other price of shares subject to outstanding
+Added: awards, to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights.
+Added: In the event of any other change in corporate capitalization, or in the event of
+Added: a merger, consolidation, liquidation or similar transaction, the compensation committee may, in its discretion, make such an equitable
+Added: adjustment, to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights.
+Added: However, unless otherwise determined by the compensation committee, the number
+Added: of shares subject to any award will always be rounded down to a whole number.
+Added: Moreover, in the event of any such transaction or event,
+Added: the compensation committee, in its discretion, may provide in substitution for any or all outstanding awards such alternative consideration
+Added: (including cash) as it, in good faith, may determine to be equitable in the circumstances and may require in connection therewith the
+Added: surrender of all awards so replaced.
+Added: compensation committee, in its sole discretion, may also provide at any time for the exercisability of outstanding stock options and
+Added: SARs, the lapse of time-based vesting restrictions and the satisfaction of performance objectives applicable to outstanding awards, or
+Added: the waiver of any other limitation or requirement under any awards.
+Added: Transferability
+Added: as the compensation committee otherwise determines, awards granted under the 2021 Plan will not be transferable by a participant other
+Added: than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
+Added: Except as otherwise determined by the compensation committee, stock options and
+Added: SARs will be exercisable during a participant’s lifetime only by him or her or, in the event of the participant’s incapacity,
+Added: by his or her guardian or legal representative.
+Added: Any award made under the 2021 Plan may provide that any shares issued as a result of
+Added: the award will be subject to further restrictions on transfer.
+Added: Repricing of Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights
+Added: in connection with an adjustment involving a change in capitalization or other corporate transaction or event as provided for in the
+Added: 2021 Plan, the compensation committee may not authorize the amendment of any outstanding stock option or stock appreciation right to
+Added: reduce the exercise price, and no outstanding stock option or stock appreciation right may be cancelled in exchange for stock options
+Added: or stock appreciation rights having a lower exercise price, or for another award or for cash, without the approval of the Company’s
+Added: stockholders.
+Added: Recovery Policy
+Added: granted under the 2021 Plan shall be subject to forfeiture or recoupment pursuant to any compensation recovery policy that the Company
+Added: may adopt in the future.
