Board has also determined that Ms. Miscik meets the additional independence and financial literacy requirements for service on the Audit Committee.
Ms. Miscik will receive compensation for service as a non-employee director of the Company consistent with the compensation generally provided to other non-employee directors, as determined by the Board from time to time. Currently, non-employee

Company (“shares”), and an annual equity retainer of $215,000 in the form of fully vested shares, (ii) $2,000 in cash for each Board meeting attended in excess of ten per year and (iii) $2,000 in cash for each Board committee meeting attended in
excess of ten meetings per committee per year. For Ms. Miscik’s first partial year of Board service, her annual cash retainer will be pro-rated and paid in the form of cash and her annual equity retainer will be pro-rated and paid in the form of
fully vested shares.
There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Miscik and any other persons pursuant to which Ms. Miscik was selected as a director. Ms. Miscik has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed
