2.Equity Awards


Grants of equity awards to Non-Employee Directors pursuant to this Policy will be automatic and nondiscretionary (without the need for any additional corporate action by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee) and will be made in accordance with the following provisions:


a.Initial Equity Grant. On the date on which any Non-Employee Director first begins providing services to the Company as a member of the Board of Directors, by reason of election by shareholders or appointment by the Board of Directors, he or she shall receive an initial grant of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the Company’s 2019 Stock Plan (the “Plan”) determined by dividing $400,000 by the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) on the date of grant, rounded down to the nearest whole RSU, and evidenced by an award agreement in the form approved by the Board of Directors for such purpose prior to such grant (the “Initial Equity Grant”). The RSUs subject to the Initial Equity Grant shall vest in three equal, annual installments on each anniversary of the date of grant, subject to such Non-Employee Director’s continued service as a Non-Employee Director through each such vesting date.
