 to be zero). In the event such successor or acquiring corporation (if any) refuses to assume, convert, replace or substitute awards, or awards are not settled for their intrinsic value, pursuant to a Corporate Transaction, then such awards shall have their vesting accelerate as to all shares subject to such award (and any applicable right of repurchase fully lapse) immediately prior to the Corporate Transaction, with the acceleration of performance awards based on the greater of actual performance through the date of the Corporate Transaction or target performance, and then such awards will terminate.

Awards need not be treated similarly in a Corporate Transaction and treatment may vary from award to award and/or from participant to participant.

In the event of a Corporate Transaction, the vesting of all awards granted to our non-employee directors will accelerate and such awards will become exercisable (as applicable) in full upon the consummation of such event at such times and on such conditions as the Compensation Committee determines.

#### Foreign Award Recipients
In order to comply with the laws in other countries in which we and our subsidiaries and affiliates operate or have employees or other individuals eligible for awards, the Compensation Committee will have the power and authority to modify the terms and conditions of any award granted to individuals outside the United States to comply with applicable foreign laws, establish subplans and modify exercise procedures and other terms and procedures, and take any action that the Compensation Committee determines to be necessary or advisable to comply with any local governmental regulatory exemptions or approvals.

#### Transferability of Awards
Unless the Compensation Committee provides otherwise, the 2023 Plan does not allow for the transfer of awards, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and generally only the recipient of an award may exercise it during his or her lifetime.

#### Grants to Non-Employee Directors
Non-employee directors are eligible to receive any type of award offered under the 2023 Plan except ISOs. No non-employee director may receive awards under the 2023 Plan that, when combined with cash compensation received for service as a non-employee director, exceeds $750,000 in value in any calendar year ($1,500,000 in the calendar year in which such non-employee director first joins the Board of Directors). Awards under the 2023 Plan may be granted to non-employee directors, may be automatically made pursuant to a policy adopted by the Board of Directors, or made from time to time as determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors
