Effective Date
This Policy as amended and restated is effective as of April 29, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), and shall remain in effect until it is revised or rescinded by further action of the Board.

d.Reimbursement of Expenses.  The Company shall reimburse each Non-Employee Director for all reasonable and documented travel and lodging expenses associated with attendance at Board and committee meetings.

All applicable terms of the 2019 Plan and any award agreement thereunder shall apply to this Policy as if fully set forth herein.  
a.Annual Awards.  Each Non-Employee Director who (i) serves on the Board as of the date of any annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders (an “Annual Meeting”) after the Effective Date and (ii) will continue to serve as a Non-Employee Director immediately following such Annual Meeting shall be automatically granted, on the date of such Annual Meeting, (x) a number of restricted stock units that will, upon vesting, settle in shares of Class A Common Stock, which number shall be determined by dividing $100,000 by the average closing price per share of Class A Common Stock over the 20 trading days commencing on the first day of the most recent open trading window preceding such Annual Meeting (with the number of shares of Class A Common Stock underlying such restricted stock unit award subject to adjustment as provided in the 2019 Plan) and (y) a nonqualified stock option under which the Non-Employee Director will, upon vesting, be entitled to exercise such option to purchase a number of shares of Class A Common Stock calculated by dividing $100,000 by the average closing price per share of Class A Common Stock over the 20 trading days commencing on the first day of the first open trading window preceding such Annual Meeting and then multiplying the quotient thereof by 2.5, for a per share exercise price equal to Fair Market Value on the date of such Annual Meeting (with the number of shares of Class A Common Stock underlying such stock option award and the exercise price subject to adjustment as provided in the 2019 Plan).

Non-Employee Director’s initial election or appointment occurred (such last business day, the “Initial Award Grant Date”), (x) a number of restricted stock units that will, upon vesting, settle in shares of Class A Common Stock, which number shall be determined by dividing $200,000 by the average closing price per share of Class A Common Stock over the first 20 trading days of the month that immediately follows the month in which such Non-Employee Director’s initial election or appointment occurred (with the number of shares of Class A Common Stock underlying such restricted stock unit award subject to adjustment as provided in the 2019 Plan) and (y) a nonqualified stock option under which the Non-Employee Director will, upon vesting, be entitled to exercise such option to purchase a number of shares of Class A Common Stock calculated by dividing $200,000 by the average closing price per share of Class A Common Stock over the first 20 trading days of the month that immediately follows the month in which such Non-Employee Director’s initial election or appointment occurred and then multiplying the quotient thereof by 2.5, for a per share exercise price equal to Fair Market Value on the Initial Award Grant Date (with the number of shares of Class A Common Stock underlying such stock option award and the exercise price subject to adjustment as provided in the 2019 Plan). The awards described in this Section 2(b) shall be referred to as “Initial Awards.”  For the avoidance of doubt, no Non-Employee Director shall be granted more than one Initial Award.
c.Termination of Employment of Employee Directors.  Members of the Board who are employees of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company who, following the Effective Date, terminate their employment with the Company and any parent or subsidiary of the Company and remain on the Board will not receive an Initial Award pursuant to Section 2(b) above, but to the extent that they are otherwise eligible, will be eligible to receive, after termination from employment with the Company and any parent or subsidiary of the Company, Annual Awards as described in Section 2(a) above.
d.Vesting of Awards Granted to Non-Employee Directors.  Subject to the Non-Employee Director continuing in service through each applicable vesting date:
(i)Annual Award.  Each Annual Award of stock options shall vest in twelve equal monthly installments following the date of the Annual Meeting on which such Annual Award is granted. Each Annual Award of restricted stock units shall vest in four equal quarterly installments following the date of the Annual Meeting on which such Annual Award is granted, with one fourth of such Annual Award of restricted stock units vesting on the first to occur, on or following the date of the Annual Meeting on which such Annual Award is granted, of February 21, May 21, August 21 or November 21 following the date of such Annual Meeting, and one fourth of each Annual Award of restricted stock units vesting quarterly thereafter.

(ii)Initial Award.  Each Initial Award of stock options shall vest as to one-third of such award on the first anniversary of the date of the Non-Employee Director awardee’s initial election or appointment to the Board and thereafter vest in equal monthly installments for the following two years. Each Initial Award of restricted stock units shall vest as to one-third of such award on the first anniversary of the first to occur, on or following the date on which such Annual Award is granted, of February 21, May 21, August 21 or November 21 following the Initial Award Grant Date and thereafter vest in equal quarterly installments for the following two years.

(iii)Termination.  No portion of an Annual Award or Initial Award that is unvested at the time of a Non-Employee Director’s termination of service on the Board shall become vested thereafter.
(iv)Change in Control.  All of the Annual Awards and Initial Awards shall vest in full immediately prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in the 2019 Plan), to the extent outstanding and unvested at such time.
Compensation Limits
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Policy, all compensation payable under this Policy will be subject to any limits on the maximum amount of Non-Employee Director compensation set forth in the 2019 Plan, as in effect from time to time.
Modifications to the Policy
This Policy may be amended, modified or terminated at any time by action by the Board in its sole discretion.  The terms and conditions of this Policy shall supersede any prior cash and/or equity compensation arrangements for service as a member of the Board between the Company and any of its Non-Employee Directors and between any subsidiary of the Company and any of its non-employee directors.  No Non-Employee Director shall have any rights hereunder, except with respect to equity awards granted pursuant to this Policy following grant thereof.

3.1Modifications to Senior Debt Documents.

3.2Modifications to Subordinated Debt Documents.  Until the Senior Debt has been Paid in Full, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Subordinated Debt Documents, Subordinated Creditor shall not, without the prior written consent of Senior Lender, 

-8-

agree to any amendment, modification or supplement to the Subordinated Debt Documents, which could reasonably be considered to materially and adversely affect Senior Lender.
4.Subrogation.  Upon Payment in Full of the Senior Debt, Subordinated Creditor shall be subrogated to the rights of Senior Lender to receive Distributions with respect to the Senior Debt, to the extent that Distributions otherwise payable to Subordinated Creditor have been applied to the payment of Senior Debt in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.  If Subordinated Creditor had been subrogated to the rights of Senior Lender pursuant to the operation of this Section 4, Borrower and Senior Lender will take all reasonable actions requested by Subordinated Creditor in order to enable Subordinated Creditor to obtain payment from Borrower with respect to such subrogation rights.
