The cash and equity compensation described in this Program shall be paid or be made, as applicable, automatically and without further action of the Board, to each member of the Board who is not an employee of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company (each, a “Non-Employee Director”) who is entitled to receive such cash or equity compensation, unless such Non-Employee Director declines the receipt of such cash or equity compensation by written notice to the Company. This Program shall remain in effect until it is revised or rescinded by further action of the Board. This Program may be amended, modified or terminated by the Board at any time in its sole discretion. No Non-Employee Director shall have any rights hereunder, except with respect to stock options granted pursuant to the Program. This Program will become effective on January 1, 2022 (the “Effective Date”). As of the Effective Date, the terms and conditions of this Program will supersede any prior cash and/or equity compensation arrangements for service as a member of the Board that are not legally binding contracts between the Company and any of its Non-Employee Directors.

	EQUITY COMPENSATION


​
Non-Employee Directors shall be granted the equity awards described below. The awards described below shall be granted under and shall be subject to the terms and provisions of the Company’s 2015 Incentive Award Plan or any other applicable Company equity incentive plan then-maintained by the Company (the “Equity Plan”) and shall be granted subject to award agreements, including attached exhibits, in substantially the form previously approved by the Board. All applicable terms of the Equity Plan apply to this Program as if fully set forth herein, and all grants of stock options hereby are subject in all respects to the terms of the Equity Plan and the applicable award agreement. Any provision hereof to the contrary notwithstanding, the Board may elect, from time to time, to allocate any equity award to a Non-Employee Director among any combination of equity-based awards eligible for grant under the Equity Plan.
​
A.Initial Awards. Each Non-Employee Director who is initially elected or appointed to the Board after the Effective Date shall receive, on the date of such initial election or appointment, such number of restricted stock units as equals $250,000, calculated as of the date of the award in accordance with the Company’s customary methods.

A Non-Employee Director who (i) has been serving as a Non-Employee Director on the Board for at least six months as of the date of any annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders after the Effective Date and (ii) will continue to serve as a Non-Employee Director immediately following such meeting, shall be automatically granted, on the date of such annual meeting, such number of restricted stock units as equals $225,000 in value, calculated as of the date of the award in accordance with the Company’s customary methods. The awards described in this Section II(B) shall be referred to as “Subsequent Awards.” For the avoidance of doubt, a Non-Employee Director elected for the first time to the Board at an annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders shall only receive an Initial Award in connection with

such election, and shall not receive any Subsequent Award on the date of such meeting as well.

​
2.Vesting. One-third (1/3) of each Initial Award shall vest and become exercisable, or have the restrictions lapse with respect thereto and become fully possessory (as applicable), on the first anniversary of the date of grant, and one-twelfth (1/12) of each Initial Award shall vest quarterly thereafter through the third anniversary of the date of grant, such that the Initial Award shall be fully vested on the third anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the Non-Employee Director continuing in service as a Non-Employee Director through each such vesting date. Each Subsequent Award shall vest and become exercisable, or have the restrictions lapse with respect thereto and become fully possessory (as applicable), on the earlier of the first anniversary of the date of grant or the day immediately prior to the date of the next annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders occurring after the date of grant, in either case subject to the Non-Employee Director continuing in service on the Board as a Non-Employee Director through each such vesting date. Unless the Board otherwise determines, any portion of an Initial Award or Subsequent Award which is unvested or unexercisable at the time of a Non-Employee Director’s termination of service on the Board as a Non-Employee Director shall be immediately forfeited upon such termination of service and shall not thereafter become vested and exercisable.
