(a) In consideration for the Participant's Deferral Election, the Participant shall be credited as of March 15, 2008 with Restricted Stock Units at a discounted price (the "Discount Rate") as provided in the following table:
(b) The total number of Restricted Stock Units credited to a Participant under the Plan will be determined according to the following calculation: (i) the dollar amount of the Participant's Deferral Election that does not exceed 15% of the Participant's Base Salary, divided by the product of (A) the average closing Fair Market Value over the last five trading days 1 in 2007 (December 24, 26, 27, 28 and 31) (the "Average FMV") multiplied by (B) 80%; plus (ii) the dollar amount of the Participant's Deferral Election over 15% and up to 100% of the Participant's Base Salary, divided by the product of (A) the Average FMV multiplied by (B) 70%; plus (iii) the dollar amount of the Participant's Deferral Election over 100% of the Participant's Base Salary, divided by the product of (A) the Average FMV multiplied by (B) 80%. (c) The total number of Restricted Stock Units determined in Section 2(b) will be credited to the Participant in the form of Salary Restricted Stock Units and/or Bonus Restricted Stock Units.
