The vesting of the RSUs is further subject to the executive officer’s or Board member’s continued employment or service through the vesting date.

 

A copy of the RSU Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the RSU Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the RSU Agreement.
