2. These restricted stock units, which convert into common stock on a one-for-one basis, vest on 2/16/2024 in two equal tranches, except as otherwise provided in the award notice. Tranch 1 will vest on the second anniversary of the date of grant if the issuer's common stock during such period was at or above $5.00 for 20 consecutive trading days. In the event that the issuer's common stock during such period does not reach $5.00 for 20 consecutive trading days, Tranch 1 will vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant if the issuer's common stock during such period was at or above $5.00 for 20 consecutive trading days.

3. (Continued from footnote 2) Tranch 2 will vest on the second anniversary of the date of grant if the issuer's common stock during such period was at or above $7.00 for 20 consecutive trading days. In the event that the issuer's common stock during such period does not reach $7.00 for 20 consecutive trading days, Tranch 2 will vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant if the issuer's common stock during such period was at or above $7.00 for 20 consecutive trading days.
