through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participant’s behalf and the Participant hereby authorizes such sales by this authorization). 

SECTION 3. Rights as a Stockholder. The Participant shall not be deemed for any purpose, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a
stockholder of the Company in respect of any Shares underlying the RSUs unless, until and to the extent that (a) the Company shall have issued and delivered to the Participant the Shares underlying the vested RSUs and (b) the
Participant’s name shall have been entered as a stockholder of record with respect to such Shares on the books of the Company. The Company shall cause the actions described in clauses (a) and (b) of the preceding sentence to occur promptly
following settlement as contemplated by this Agreement, subject to compliance with applicable laws. 
 SECTION 4. Incorporation by

SECTION 5. Compliance with Applicable Laws. The granting and settlement of the RSUs, and any other obligations of the Company under
