Unless the directors board service is earlier terminated, restricted stock or RSUs awarded to non-employee directors will vest on May 28th following conclusion of the director service year; provided, however, that subject to the terms of applicable award agreements, unvested restricted stock or RSUs held by (i) any non-employee director who is not nominated for or elected to a new term, including for example, due to a reduction in the size of the Board, age precluding a re-nomination, the identification of a new nominee, or the desire to retire at the end of a term, or (ii) any non-employee director who resigns at Quantas convenience, including any resignation resulting from the non-employee directors failure to receive a majority of the votes cast in an election for directors as required by Quantas Bylaws, will vest in full on the earlier of (a) May 28th following conclusion of the director service year or (b) the date of such non-employee directors termination of service. Subject to the terms of applicable award agreements, RSUs will be settled in shares of Quanta common stock, provided that non-employee directors may elect to settle up to 50% of any RSU award in cash if the non-employee director is in compliance with applicable stock ownership guidelines as of the date of settlement of such RSUs and is expected to continue to be in compliance with applicable stock ownership guidelines immediately following such cash settlement of RSUs.
