• | Each equity-based grant will vest and be paid based on twelve months of service or in accordance with such other vesting schedule as determined by the Board, unless a Director has properly elected to defer payment and receipt of the common stock shares underlying such DSU award until they retire from the Company’s Board. |
Directors are also entitled to reimbursement of costs and expenses incurred in connection with attending Company meetings and educational conferences.
