These RSUs will vest on the earlier of June 5, 2020 and the date of the next annual meeting of stockholders of the Issuer, provided that the reporting person continues to serve as a director of the Issuer through and on such vesting date. The RSUs may, in certain circumstances, become immediately vested as of the date of a change in control of the Issuer.</footnote>
