The 2021 Sales Agreement provides that the Sales Agents will be entitled to compensation in an amount equal to up to 3.0% of the gross sales proceeds of any common stock sold through the Sales Agents under the 2021 Sales Agreement. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company sold 34,445,743 and 6,955,341 shares, respectively, of its common stock under the 2021 Sales Agreement.

Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units
The Company has a stock-based incentive plan, the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as amended to date, the "2016 Incentive Plan"), pursuant to which the Company may grant stock options, restricted stock awards, RSUs and other stock-based awards or short-term cash incentive awards to employees, directors and consultants.
The 2016 Incentive Plan was originally approved by the Company's stockholders on May 13, 2016, and an amendment to the plan to increase the number of shares available for issuance was approved by the stockholders on May 8, 2019. As of December 31, 2022, the maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for issuance over the term of the 2016 Incentive Plan was 22,000,000 shares. On the first business day of each calendar year, the maximum number of shares is increased by 2,000,000 shares of common stock unless the Company's board of directors determines, prior to January 1 for any such calendar year, to increase the maximum amount by a lesser amount. On January 1, 2022 and again on January 1, 2023, the maximum number of shares increased by 2,000,000. At December 31, 2022, the Company had 3,831,240 shares of common stock available for future grant under the 2016 Incentive Plan, 2,446,257 shares underlying outstanding but unvested service-based RSUs, options outstanding to purchase 10,132,969 shares of common stock and 111,941 shares of performance-based RSUs outstanding under the 2016 Incentive Plan. The awards granted and available for future grant under the 2016 Incentive
Plan generally vest over three years and have a maximum contractual term of ten years. The 2016 Incentive Plan terminates by its terms on March 9, 2026.
On June 24, 2022, the Company's board of directors adopted a stock-based incentive plan (the "2022 Inducement Plan"), which provides for the discretionary grant of nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, RSU awards, performance awards, and other awards to individuals as a material inducement to entering into employment with the Company. The aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued under the 2022 Inducement Plan will not exceed 2,000,000 shares. At December 31, 2022 the Company had 1,703,750 shares of common stock available for future grant under the 2022 Inducement Plan, 110,000 shares underlying outstanding but unvested RSUs and options outstanding to purchase 186,250 shares of common stock under the 2022 Inducement Plan. The 2022 Inducement Plan can be terminated by the Company's board of directors at any time.
The Amended and Restated 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2007 Incentive Plan") was adopted on March 31, 2007 and terminated by its terms on March 31, 2017. At December 31, 2022, the Company had options outstanding to purchase 1,902,329 shares of common stock under the 2007 Incentive Plan. The awards granted under the 2007 Incentive Plan generally vest over three years and have a maximum contractual term of ten years.

The Company entered into a Separation Agreement with its former President and Chief Executive Officer on May 10, 2022, under which outstanding RSUs as of the separation date were fully vested, and one-half of the RSUs were settled in the Company's common stock and the remainder settled in cash. The officer's stock options will continue to vest over a certain period and will remain exercisable until five years after the separation date. Stock-based compensation for the year ended December 31, 2022 included a $4.2 million charge related to these RSU and stock option modifications.
At December 31, 2022 and 2021, there was $10.5 million and $16.5 million, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years and 2.0 years, respectively.
