(b) Initial Grant. Without any further action by the Board, each person who, after the Effective Date is elected or appointed for the first time to be a Non-Employee Director (a “New Director”) will automatically, upon the date of their initial election or appointment to be a Non-Employee Director (or, if such date is not a business day, the first business day thereafter), be granted an RSU Award covering a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (A) $400,000 divided by (B) the closing sales price per share of the Company’s Common Stock on the applicable grant date, rounded down to the nearest whole share (each, an “Initial Grant”). Each Initial Grant will vest and become payable in a series of successive equal quarterly installments over the three-year period measured from the applicable grant date, subject to the Non-Employee Director’s Continuous Service through each applicable vesting date.
(c) Annual Grant and Cash Election.
(i) Annual Grant. Without any further action by the Board, at the close of business on the date of each Annual Meeting, each person who is then a Non-Employee Director will automatically be granted an RSU Award covering a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (A) $235,000 minus such Non-Employee Director’s Annual Cash Election (as defined below), if any, divided by (B) the closing sales price per share of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of the applicable Annual Meeting (each, an “Annual Grant”). Each Annual Grant will fully vest and become payable on the earlier of (1) the first anniversary of the applicable grant date and (2) the date of the first Annual Meeting following the applicable grant date, subject to the Non-Employee Director’s Continuous Service through the vesting date.
(ii) Cash Election. Prior to the first day of the calendar year in which the Annual Grant is to be made (or, if later, in the case of a New Director, prior to the New Director’s commencement of service), each Non-Employee Director may elect, using such election form as may be provided by the Company, to receive up to $50,000 of the value of the Annual Grant in the form of a cash payment (any such amount that is elected, the “Annual Cash Election”). The Annual Cash Election shall be paid within ten (10) business days following the vesting date of the Annual Grant, subject to the Non-Employee Director’s Continuous Service through such vesting date. If no election is made by the relevant deadline, then no Annual Cash Election shall be subtracted from the value of the Annual Grant.
(d) Annual Cash Retainer and RSU Election.
(i) Annual Cash Retainer. Subject to Section (d)(ii) below, at the close of business on the date of each Annual Meeting, each person who is then a Non-Employee Director will automatically be granted a cash award of $50,000 (“Annual Cash Retainer”). Each Annual Cash Retainer will fully vest on the earlier of (1) the first anniversary of the applicable grant date and (2) the date of the first Annual Meeting following the applicable grant date, subject to the Non-Employee Director’s Continuous Service through the vesting date. The Annual Cash Retainer shall be paid within ten (10) business days following its vesting date.
(ii) RSU Election. Prior to the first day of the calendar year in which the Annual Cash Retainer is to be made (or, if later, in the case of a New Director, prior to the New Director’s commencement of service and at least one three-month quarter prior to the Annual Meeting), each Non-Employee Director may elect, using such election form as may be provided by the Company, to instead receive such amount as an RSU Award to be granted without further action by the Board at the close of business on the date of the applicable Annual Meeting and covering a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (A) $50,000 divided by (B) the closing sales price per share of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of such Annual Meeting (the “RSU Election Grant”). Each RSU Election Grant will fully vest and become payable on the earlier of (1) the first anniversary of the applicable grant date and (2) the date of the first Annual Meeting following the applicable grant date, subject to the Non-Employee Director’s Continuous Service through the vesting date. If no election is made by the relevant deadline, then no RSU Election Grant shall be made, unless otherwise approved by the Board.
