Upon issuance and delivery of such Shares from time to time pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the 2017 Plan and the applicable award, including, without limitation, the lapse of any restrictions relating thereto, the satisfaction of any performance conditions associated therewith and any requisite determinations by or pursuant to the authority of the Board or a duly constituted authorized committee thereof as provided therein, and, in the case of stock option awards, payment of the exercise price fixed in such option at least equal to the par value of such Shares, such Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
