The awards described above shall be granted under and shall be subject to the terms and provisions of the Company’s 2020 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan or any other applicable Company equity incentive plan then-maintained by the Company (such plan, as may be amended from time to time, the “Equity Plan”) and may be granted subject to the execution and delivery of award agreements that contain the terms for applicable awards. All applicable terms of the Equity Plan apply to this Program (including any compensation limits in effect from time to time), and all grants of equity awards under this Program are subject in all respects to the terms of the Equity Plan and any applicable award agreement.
Directors are reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings and participating in director educational programs on matters relevant to the Company and its business.
