 Restated Plan and Grant Practices Our Amended and Restated Plan design is set up to conform to best current compensation practices and implement strong governance-related protections for our stockholders, which include:

| • |     | Administration. Our Amended and Restated Plan will be administered by our board of directors or the                  
 Compensation Committee of our board of directors, which is comprised entirely of independent non-employee directors. |

| • |     | Annual Limits on Compensation to Non-Employee Directors. The Amended and Restated Plan sets reasonable

 transferred, pledged, or otherwise encumbered, unless otherwise approved by the administrator.           |
