The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.

On January 20, 2022, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Amendment") with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the Declassification Amendment.
