As a non-employee director, Ms. Ahuja will be compensated for her services in accordance with the Company's Amended and Restated Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy (the "Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy"). Pursuant to the Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy, Ms. Ahuja will receive annual cash compensation of $50,000 for her service as a member of the Board and annual cash compensation of $15,000 for her service as a member of the Audit Committee (each prorated based on the percentage of days in the quarter or year, as applicable, during which she serves in the position). Additionally, pursuant to the Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy, Ms. Ahuja will receive (i) an initial award of restricted stock units ("RSUs") covering a number of shares of the Company's Class A common stock valued at $300,000 based on the Company's then-current per share fair market value, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from and including her appointment until May 25, 2022, and the denominator of which is 365, which will vest in full on May 25, 2022, subject to her continued service on the Board through the vesting date, and (ii) an annual award of RSUs granted on each May 25th valued at $300,000 based on the Company's then-current per share fair market value, which will vest in full on the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to her continued service on the Board through the vesting date. In addition, Ms. Ahuja may elect to receive her annual cash compensation in the form of RSUs.
