The Initial Grant shall vest in full on the earlier of (i) the date of the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders next following the grant date (it being understood that the Initial Grant shall vest on the date of such annual meeting whether or not the Director is re-elected at such meeting, so long as the Director serves through such meeting) and (ii) the first anniversary of the grant date, subject in each case to continued service.

Each Annual Grant will vest in full on the earlier of (i) the date of the annual meeting next following the grant date (it being understood that the Annual Grant shall vest on the date of such annual meeting whether or not the Director is re-elected, so long as the Director serves through such meeting) and (ii) the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to continued service.

Miscellaneous

For purposes of determining the number of shares subject to each IPO Grant, each Initial Grant and each Annual Grant, (i) in the case of an IPO Grant, the dollar value of such grant was divided by the IPO price per share of Common Stock, and (ii) in the case of an Initial Grant or an Annual Grant, the dollar value of such grant shall be divided by the Common Stock closing price on the date of such grant, in each case rounded up to the nearest whole share of Common Stock.

All applicable terms of the Plan apply to this Program as if fully set forth herein, and all grants of Restricted Stock hereby are subject in all respects to the terms of such Plan (as applicable). The grant of any Restricted Stock under this Program shall be made solely by and subject to the terms set forth in a written agreement in a form to be approved by the Board and duly executed by an executive officer of the Company.

Amendment, Modification and Termination

This Program may be amended, modified or terminated on a prospective basis by the Board in the future at its sole discretion.
