The Executive's employment with the Company will be "at will," meaning that the Executive's employment may be terminated by the Company or the Executive at any time and for any reason. b) Position. The Executive will serve as the President and Chief Revenue Officer and will have such powers and duties as may from time to time be prescribed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the "CEO") or other authorized executive, provided that such duties are consistent with the Executive's position. While the Executive renders services to the Company, the Executive will not engage in any other employment, consulting or business activity that would create a conflict of interest with the Company. 2. Compensation and Related Matters. (a) Base Salary.

The Executive's current annual target bonus is 100% of Base Salary. To earn incentive compensation, the Executive must be employed by the Company on the day such incentive compensation is paid. The Bonus Plan may be revised at the discretion of the Company at any time. (c) Equity Grant. Subject to approval by the Company's Board of Directors, the Executive will be granted an award of Restricted Stock Units (the "RSUs") with a value equivalent to $13,500,000 (the "New Hire Grant") under the Company's 2020 Stock Plan (the "2020 Plan").
