As of the date hereof, 653,599 of the RSUs are unvested (the “Unvested RSUs”).

  1.

Notwithstanding anything in the Award Agreement to the contrary, upon termination of your employment other than for Cause (as defined in the Plan) by the Company or by you following appointment of your successor, on June 30, 2022 (such termination, a “Qualifying Termination”), any then-outstanding Unvested RSUs will fully vest upon the Qualifying Termination and shall be settled in accordance with Section 3 of the Award Agreement (and for the sake of clarity, no later than two and a half months following such Qualifying Termination) (the “RSU Acceleration Benefits”).

  3.
