Issuance of Shares of Stock. Subject to Section 6, the Company shall issue one (1) share of Stock to the Grantee within thirty (30) days of the applicable Vesting Date with respect to each Restricted Stock Unit that vests and becomes non-forfeitable on such date (such date of settlement, an “Original Settlement Date”); provided, however, that if the tax withholding obligations of the Company or an Affiliate will not be satisfied by the share withholding method described in Section 6 and the Original Settlement Date would occur on a date on which a sale by the Grantee of the shares to be issued in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units that vested and became non-forfeitable would violate any written policy of the Company pertaining to the purchase, sale, transfer or other disposition of the Company’s equity securities by Directors, Officers, Employees or other service providers who may possess material, nonpublic information regarding the Company or its securities, as in effect from time to time, (the “Trading Compliance Policy”), that certain Investor Rights Agreement, dated October 28, 2021 (the “Investor Rights Agreement”), or any other lockup agreements entered into or required by Section 11 of this Agreement, then the settlement date for such vested Restricted Stock Units shall be deferred until the next day on which the sale of such shares would not violate the Trading Compliance Policy or the Investor Rights Agreement or any such lockup agreement or Section 11, but in any event, shall be on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of the third calendar month following the calendar year in which the applicable Vesting Date occurred. Following the issuance of shares of Stock in accordance with this Section 4, the Grantee shall thereafter have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to such shares.
(b)
Beneficial Ownership of Shares; Certificate Registration. The Grantee hereby authorizes the Company, in its sole discretion, to deposit any or all shares of Stock acquired by the Grantee pursuant to the settlement of the Award with the Company’s transfer agent, including any successor transfer agent, to be held in book entry form, or to deposit such shares of Stock for the benefit of the Grantee with any broker with which the Grantee has an account relationship of which the Company has notice.

(c)
Restrictions on Grant of the Award and Issuance of Shares. The grant of the Award and issuance of shares of Stock upon settlement of the Award shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of federal, state or foreign law with respect to such securities. No shares of Stock may be issued hereunder if the issuance of such shares of Stock would constitute a violation of any applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws or other law or regulations or the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the shares of Stock may then be listed. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance of any shares of Stock subject to the Award shall relieve the
2
Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. As a condition to the settlement of the Award, the Company may require the Grantee to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.
