Exchange Act), to a subcommittee or subcommittees or to other persons or groups of persons as it deems necessary, appropriate or advisable.

Eligibility. Employees, prospective employees who have accepted an offer of employment, non-employee directors, consultants and any person who has accepted
an offer of service or consultancy of the Company or any of its subsidiaries are eligible to be selected to participate in the Omnibus Incentive Plan.

Authorized Shares. Subject to adjustment as described below, the total number of shares of our Class A common stock authorized for issuance under the Omnibus Incentive Plan will not exceed 28,265,461 shares (the “Omnibus Plan Share Pool”).
