(b)    in the event of your Termination of Service due to death or Disability, as of the date of your Termination of Service, or
(c)    in the event of your Termination of Service due to resignation or retirement, as of the first anniversary of the Grant Date; provided, however, in the event such voluntary Termination of Service occurs before the first anniversary of the Grant Date, a prorated number of RSUs (based on the proration of the one-year period between the Grant Date and the first anniversary of the Grant Date that you served as a director, rounded down to the nearest whole Share) will be converted to Shares as of the first anniversary of the Grant Date, and you will forfeit the remaining RSUs, or
