The Company will also grant an additional 750,000 restricted shares of the Company's common stock to Mr. Davidson to vest in the future from time to time, based on Mr. Davidson achieving certain performance criteria to be agreed upon by the Board of Directors after discussion with senior management at a future date. During the 23 months ended November 30, 2018, 479,167 shares of common stock vested under this agreement.</footnote>
