Once a director has satisfied USEC’s director stock ownership guidelines, director is entitled to receive the entire annual retainer in cash, although a director may elect to receive the retainer in restricted stock or nonqualified stock options, in lieu of cash.
Annual Stock Grant
Annual grant of restricted stock valued at $30,000 granted at the time the annual retainer is paid. Restricted stock vests on the later of one year from the date of grant or the director’s termination of service.
Annual Option Grant

Committee Chairman Fees
$12,000 annual fee for Audit, Finance and Corporate Responsibility Committee chairman. $7,500 annual fee for all other committees’ chairman. Committee chairman fee paid in cash, shares of restricted stock or options, at the director’s election, at the time the annual retainer is paid.

Committee Meeting Fees
$1,500 for each committee meeting attended. Meeting fees are paid in cash in the week following the meeting or, at the director’s election, in restricted stock in the month following each meeting.
Incentive Stock
If a director chooses to receive restricted stock as payment for the part of the annual retainer, chairman and meeting fees that they are otherwise entitled to receive in cash, he or she will receive an incentive payment of restricted stock equal to 20% of the portion of the annual retainer, chairman and meeting fees that the director elects to take in restricted stock in lieu of cash. These incentive shares will vest on the later of three years from the date of grant or the director’s termination of service. Incentive shares are granted at the time the annual retainer is paid.
