F1 Awarded pursuant to Plug Power's 2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan.
F2 Up to one-third (1/3) of the shares underlying the performance stock options will vest and become exercisable on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date, provided that the daily volume weighted average price of the Company's common stock during any 30 consecutive trading day period in the three year performance period following the grant date of the stock options ("VWAP") equals or exceeds certain levels. 25% of the shares underlying the performance stock options will be deemed to have satisfied the performance-based vesting and will be eligible to vest over time if the VWAP equals $35; an additional 25% of the shares underlying the options will be deemed to have satisfied the performance-based vesting and will be eligible to vest over time if the VWAP equals $50; and the remaining 50% of the shares underlying the options will be deemed to have satisfied the performance-based vesting and will be eligible to vest over time if the VWAP equals or exceeds $100.
F3 If the VWAP falls between two of the stock price hurdles, an incremental number of shares underlying the options will become exercisable based on linear interpolation in $1 increments. Failure to achieve any of the stock price hurdles applicable to a performance stock option during the three-year performance period will result in applicable options being un-exercisable. The performance-based stock options have a maximum term of seven years from the grant date.
