Consulting Agreement and the other documentation entered into in connection with her separation from RSI, and that the Consulting Agreement is not otherwise earlier terminated in accordance with its terms, any Company equity incentive awards held by
Ms. Kumar that remain outstanding and unvested at such time shall fully vest as of such date.
