In addition to the Election Stock Grants, each non-employee director (including any newly-elected director who has received an Election Stock Grant) shall be granted, under the Company’s 2010 Equity Incentive Plan on the date of the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders, an award of restricted common stock award with a value of $100,000 based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant (the “Annual Stock Grant”).  The amount of the initial Annual Stock Grant for newly-elected directors shall be ratably increased based on the duration of such directors’ service on the Board of Directors prior to the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders.  Annual Stock Grants shall vest quarterly over one (1) year following the date of the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders; provided that, if not already vested, the Annual Stock Grant shall fully vest on the date of the first annual meeting of stockholders following the date of grant.

 
 

 

All of the foregoing restricted stock grants will become immediately exercisable upon a change in control of the Company.
