3.    Plan Administration.
a.    The Committee shall have the sole authority to (i) determine the vesting schedule for any TRSUs and for any service-based component of any PRSUs, (ii) to establish performance metrics under this LTI Plan, including without limitation Target Product Revenue and Target Units Sold, (iii) to determine the Product Revenue Score and the Units Sold Score for the relevant Performance Period, (iv) to determine the upward bound of any Maximum Award, (v) to determine the weighting of any Target Award between PRSUs and TRSUs and (vi) to determine the number of PRSUs that shall be Product Revenue PRSUs and the number that shall be Units Sold PRSUs.
b.    The Committee shall be responsible for the general administration and interpretation of the LTI Plan and for carrying out its provisions. The Committee may delegate some or all of the administration of the LTI Plan to officers or other employees of the Company as necessary or desirable for proper administration of the LTI Plan. The Committee shall have such powers as may be necessary to discharge its duties under the LTI Plan, including, but not by way of limitation, the following:
i.    to determine eligibility and the amount, form, manner and time of grant of Awards under the LTI Plan, provided that Restricted Stock Units granted under the 2021 EIP in accordance with the LTI Plan shall be approved and administered in accordance with the terms of the 2021 EIP;
ii.    to construe and interpret the terms of the LTI Plan;
iii.    to prescribe forms and procedures for purposes of the LTI Plan, for participation in the LTI Plan, and for the grant of Restricted Stock Units under the LTI Plan; and
iv.    to adopt rules and to take such actions as it deems necessary or desirable for the proper administration of the LTI Plan.
c.    Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Section 3(a), the Designated Administrator is delegated concurrent authority for the general administration and interpretation of the LTI Plan and for carrying out its provisions with respect to each Participant that is not an Officer Participant, and the Designated Administrator shall have concurrent authority to take all actions set forth in Section 3(b) with respect to the
282559728 v5

Exhibit 10.6
administration of the LTI Plan related to Participants who are not Officer Participants. The Committee may, at any time, abolish the powers and authority delegated to the Designated Administrator. The Committee retains the authority to concurrently administer the LTI Plan with respect to all Participants and, with the Board as a whole, retains the sole authority to administer the LTI Plan with respect to Officer Participants.
d.    Any rule or decision by the Committee, or with respect to Participants that are not Officer Participants, the Designated Administrator, that is not inconsistent with the provisions of the LTI Plan shall be conclusive and binding on all persons and shall be given the maximum deference permitted by law.
4.    Eligibility. Employees of the Company or an Affiliate who are regularly employed (full or part time) during the Performance Period and who are designated by the Committee or Designated Administrator, as applicable from time to time, to participate in the LTI Plan, shall be eligible to receive awards under the LTI Plan. Participation in the LTI Plan is at the discretion of the Committee or the Designated Administrator, as applicable, and participation in one Performance Period does not guarantee eligibility to participate for future Performance Periods. An employee must be eligible to receive awards under the 2021 EIP to be eligible to participate in the LTI Plan.
If an employee’s employment with the Company or an Affiliate commences after the beginning of the Performance Period, the Committee or the Designated Administrator, as applicable, shall have the discretion to determine whether and on what basis such employee will be eligible to participate in the LTI Plan (for example, by prorating an Award based on months of service remaining (or completed) during the Performance Period).
If a Participant is on a leave of absence for a portion of the Performance Period or is not providing service during a portion of the Performance Period, the Committee or the Designated Administrator, as applicable, may exercise discretion to prorate an Award for such Performance Period.
If a Participant’s Continuous Service terminates before an Award Determination Date, PRSUs granted to the Participant pursuant to this LTI Plan with respect to the Performance Period for which such Award Determination Date applies shall be forfeited.
5.    How the LTI Plan Works.
a.    LTI Plan Components. The LTI Plan components are: (i) the Target Product Revenue; (ii) the Product Revenue Score; (iii) the Target Units Sold; (iv) the Units Sold Score; (v) the Target Award; (vi) the Actual Award; and (vii) the TRSUs and the PRSUs.
b.    Target Product Revenue. On the Corporate Performance Goal Determination Date, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall establish and approve the Target Product Revenue for the applicable Performance Period. The Target Product Revenue for each Performance Period (that is, fiscal years 2023 and 2024) is set forth on Exhibit A.
c.    Product Revenue Score. On the Award Determination Date, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall certify the Product Revenue Score.
d.    Target Units Sold. On the Corporate Performance Goal Determination Date, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall establish and approve the Target Units
282559728 v5

Exhibit 10.6
Sold for the applicable Performance Period. The Target Units Sold for each Performance Period (that is, fiscal years 2023 and 2024) is set forth on Exhibit A.     
e.    Units Sold Score. On the Award Determination Date, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall certify the Units Sold Score.
f.    Target Award. On the Corporate Performance Goal Determination Date (or on such other date as the Committee or the Designated Administrator, as applicable, may determine), the Committee or the Designated Administrator, as applicable, shall determine each Participant’s Target Award.
A Target Award shall consist of such combination of TRSUs and PRSUs as may be determined by the Committee with respect to a Performance Period. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, for each Performance Period 50% of the Target Award shall be PRSUs and 50% of the Target Award shall be TRSUs. In addition, 1/3rd of the overall PRSU portion of the Target Award shall relate to the fiscal year 2023 Performance Period, and 2/3rd shall relate to the 2024 Performance Period.
Following determination of a Target Award, and on a date determined by the Committee or the Designated Officer, in either case in accordance with all applicable Company policies or procedures, a number of Restricted Stock Units shall be granted to each Participant equal to (1) the Target Award divided by (2) the Fair Market Value (as defined in the 2021 EIP) on the effective grant date of such Restricted Stock Units (the “Grant Date”), rounded down to the nearest whole share.
g.    Actual Award. On the Award Determination Date, the Actual Awards for all Participants shall be determined by the Committee or the Designated Administrator, as applicable, as follows, with respect to that portion of the Target Award consisting of PRSUs (up to the Maximum Award):
(i) Product Revenue PRSUs multiplied by Product Revenue Score plus
(ii) Units Sold PRSUs multiplied by Units Sold Score.
For the avoidance of doubt, the number of TRSUs subject to an Award shall not change from the number determined on the applicable grant date of the Target Award.
h.    TRSUs and PRSUs. The Committee shall determine, no later than the Corporate Performance Goal Determination Date, the percentage of a Target Award that shall be denominated as TRSUs and what percentage as PRSUs (and in the absence of such determination, the default under Section 5(f) shall apply). Further, on the Corporate Performance Goal Determination Date, the Committee shall determine what portion of the PRSUs shall be Product Revenue PRSUs and what portion of the PRSUs shall be Units Sold PRSUs (or such other PRSUs as may be determined from time to time). With respect to the Performance Periods (unless otherwise determined by the Committee), 50% of such PRSUs shall be Product Revenue PRSUs and the remaining 50% of such PRSUs shall be Units Sold PRSUs.
i.    Vesting. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee on or prior to the Grant Date, vesting of Restricted Stock Units shall be as follows (each such vesting date, a “Vesting Date”):
(1) TRSUs shall vest over four years of Continuous Service (as defined in the 2021 EIP) following the Grant Date, with 1/48th monthly
282559728 v5

Exhibit 10.6
vesting measured from the Grant Date subject to the Participant’s Continuous Service.
(2) With respect to PRSUs, (a) the 2023 Actual Awards will be scored, earned, and become vested on the applicable Award Determination Date and (b) the 2024 Actual Awards will be scored, earned, and become vested on the applicable Award Determination Date, in each case subject to the Participant’s Continuous Service through such applicable Award Determination Date.
(i) Actual Awards will settle on the following schedule: (i) 50% of 2023 Actual Awards will be released on the first trading day in March 2025, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, but in any event not later than March 15, 2025, (ii) the remaining 50% of the 2023 Actual Awards will be released in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, (iii) 50% of the 2024 Actual Awards will be released on the first trading day in March 2026, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, but in any event not later than March 15, 2026, and (iv) the remaining 50% of the 2024 Actual Awards will be released in the first quarter of fiscal year 2027.
(ii) Without limiting the foregoing and to the extent any PRSUs are determined to be deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, shares of Common Stock may be issued or withheld in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(vi) to pay the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (“FICA”) tax imposed under Sections 3101, 3121(a) and 3121(v)(2) of the Code on such deferred compensation (the “FICA Amount”). Additionally, shares of Common Stock may be issued or withheld at the time that the FICA tax is remitted to pay the associated income tax on wages imposed under Section 3401 of the Code or the corresponding withholding provisions of applicable state, local, or, if applicable, foreign tax laws as a result of the payment of the FICA Amount and to pay the additional income tax on wages attributable to the pyramiding Code Section 3401 wages and taxes; provided, that the total value of shares issued or withheld pursuant to this Section may not exceed the aggregate value of the FICA Amount and the income tax withholding related to such FICA Amount.

(3) In general, a Participant must be employed by the Company or an Affiliate through a Vesting Date to vest into any PRSUs or TRSUs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Unvested TRSUs shall be subject to accelerated vesting in connection with a qualifying termination of employment if so provided in an applicable severance plan or individual employment, retention, or other written agreement between the Company and such Participant. However, notwithstanding anything in the 2021 EIP to the contrary, and for clarity, no PRSUs that have not become Actual Awards shall settle on an accelerated basis pursuant to any written agreement with the Company other than in compliance with Section 409A of the Code.
6.    Miscellaneous.

Exhibit 10.6
a.    Right to Receive Payment. Each Award under the LTI Plan shall consist solely of the right to receive shares of Common Stock issued upon settlement of Restricted Stock Units. Nothing in the LTI Plan shall be construed to create a trust or to establish or evidence any Participant’s claim of any right to be granted or to vest into any TRSUs or PRSUs other than as an unsecured general creditor with respect to any payment to which he or she or they may be entitled.
b.    Expiration of Restricted Stock Units. Any Target Awards that do not become Actual Awards shall be forfeited and shall terminate on the Award Determination Date.
c.    Tax Withholding. To satisfy the income and employment tax withholding obligations arising under applicable federal and state laws, the Company may, in its sole discretion, satisfy all or any portion of its tax withholding obligations by (i) causing a Participant to tender a cash payment, (ii) permitting or requiring a Participant to enter into a “same day sale” commitment, if applicable, with a broker-dealer whereby the Participant irrevocably elects to sell a portion of the shares of Common Stock to be delivered in connection with the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units to satisfy the Company’s withholding obligation and whereby the broker-dealer irrevocably commits to forward the proceeds necessary to satisfy the Company’s withholding obligation directly to the Company, or (iii) withholding shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to a Participant upon settlement of Restricted Stock Units. In determining the amount to be withheld, the Company may consider statutory withholding amounts or other withholding rates applicable to a Participant, including the maximum applicable rate(s) in a Participant’s applicable jurisdiction(s). The Company may require the Participant to satisfy any remaining amount of the tax withholding obligations by tendering a cash payment. Each Participant is encouraged to contact the Participant’s personal legal or tax advisors with respect to the benefits provided by the LTI Plan. Neither the Company nor any of its employees, directors, officers or agents are authorized to provide any tax advice to Participants with respect to the benefits provided under the LTI Plan.
7.    Amendment and Termination of the LTI Plan. The Committee may amend, modify, suspend or terminate the LTI Plan, in whole or in part, at any time, including adopting amendments deemed necessary or desirable to correct any defect or to supply omitted data or to reconcile any inconsistency in the LTI Plan or in any Award granted hereunder; provided, however, that no amendment, alteration, suspension or discontinuation shall be made that would change the settlement dates of any Restricted Stock Units if such change would fail to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. At no time before the vesting of Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to the LTI Plan shall any Participant accrue any vested interest or right whatsoever under the LTI Plan except as otherwise stated in the LTI Plan.
8.    No Guarantee of Employment. The LTI Plan is intended to provide a financial incentive to Participants and is not intended to confer any rights to continued employment or service upon Participants, whose employment or service will remain at-will and subject to termination by either the Company or Participant at any time, with or without cause or notice.
9.    Recovery. Any amounts paid (or Restricted Stock Units granted) under this LTI Plan will be subject to recoupment in accordance with the Company’s policy for recoupment of compensation (a “clawback policy”), as may be in effect from time to time, including any amendments intended to comply with the listing standards of any national securities exchange or association on which the Company’s securities are listed or as is otherwise required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or other applicable law. No recovery of compensation under such a clawback policy will be an event giving rise to a right to resign for
