For these purposes, a performance-based award will be considered fully vested at the target level of performance and the vested portion of the award at that level of performance is proportionate to the portion of the performance period that has elapsed prior to the participant’s termination of service. For purposes of the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, the following terms have the meanings indicated:

| • | a “change in control” generally refers to the acquisition by a person or group of beneficial ownership of more than 50% of the combined voting power of our voting securities, our continuing directors ceasing to constitute a majority of the board of directors, or the consummation of a corporate transaction as defined below (unless immediately following such corporate transaction all or substantially all of our previous holders of voting securities beneficially own more than 50% of the combined voting power of the resulting entity in substantially the same proportions); and |

If a participant’s service is terminated due to his or her death or disability, the currently vested and exercisable portions of option and SAR awards may be exercised for a period of one year after the date of such termination. Upon termination for any reason other than death, disability or cause, all unvested and unexercisable portions of any outstanding awards will be immediately forfeited without consideration and the currently vested and exercisable portions of option and SAR awards may be exercised for a period of three months after the date of such termination. However, if a participant thereafter dies during such three-month period, the vested and exercisable portions of the option and SAR awards may be exercised for a period of
