As a non-employee director, Ms. Donaghy will be compensated in accordance with the Company’s compensation policies for non-employee directors, which are described in the Company’s proxy statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Ms. Donaghy will receive pro-rated annual cash fees and retainers of $15,000 for her service on the Board of Directors and $7,500 for her service as a non-chair member of the Audit Committee, in each case payable quarterly.

The Options (a) vest equally in twelve (12) monthly installments commencing on December 31, 2019, (b) are subject to the Plan and (c) are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Award Agreement pursuant to which such Options were granted, which is based on the Company’s standard form of Award Agreement for non-employee directors.
