All grants of equity retainer awards to Outside Directors pursuant to this Policy will be automatic and nondiscretionary and will be made in accordance with

(f)    Initial Grant. Following the Effective Date, each new Outside Director will receive an initial, one-time
stock option grant to purchase 42,080 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Initial Grant”). 33.3% of the shares subject to the Initial Grant shall vest and become exercisable on the first anniversary of the applicable vesting
commencement date and the remaining 66.7% of the shares subject to the Initial Grant shall vest and become exercisable in 24 equal monthly installments thereafter; provided, however, that all vesting ceases if the director ceases to provide services
to the Company, unless the Board of Directors determines that the circumstances warrant continuation of vesting. 

(g)    Annual Grant. On the date of the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders, each Outside Director who
will continue as a member of the Board of Directors following such annual meeting of stockholders will receive a stock option grant on the date of such Annual Meeting to purchase 17,533 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Annual
Grant”). All of the shares subject to the Annual Grant shall vest and become exercisable upon the earlier to occur of (i) the first anniversary of the grant date or (ii) the date of the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders;
provided, however, that all vesting ceases if the director ceases to provide services to the Company, unless the Board of Directors determines that the circumstances warrant continuation of vesting. 

 

	 	III.	 Expenses 



The Company will reimburse all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
Outside Directors in attending meetings of the Board of Directors or any Committee thereof. 
  

	 	IV.	 Maximum Annual Compensation 



The aggregate amount of compensation, including both equity compensation and cash compensation, paid to any Outside Director in a calendar year period shall
not exceed $750,000; provided, however that such amount shall be $1,000,000 for the calendar year in which the applicable Outside Director is initially elected or appointed to the Board (or such other limit as may be set forth in Section 3(b)
of the 2020 Plan or any similar provision of a successor plan). For this purpose, the “amount” of equity compensation paid in a calendar year shall be determined based on the grant date fair value thereof, as determined in accordance with
ASC 718 or its successor provision, but excluding the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions.
