Equity Compensation Contract Clauses (813)

Equity Compensation. Outside Directors will be eligible to receive all types of Awards (except Incentive Stock Options) under the Plan, including discretionary Awards not covered under this Policy. All grants of Awards to Outside Directors pursuant to Sections 3.2 and 3.3 of this Policy will be automatic and nondiscretionary, except as otherwise provided herein, and will be made in accordance with the following provisions: 3.1 No Discretion. No person will have any discretion to select which Outside Directors will... be granted Awards under this Policy or to determine the number of Shares to be covered by such Awards (except as provided in Sections 3.4.4 and 9 below). 3.2 Initial Awards. Each individual who first becomes an Outside Director following the Effective Date automatically will be granted an Award of Restricted Stock Units (an "Initial Award"). The grant date of the Initial Award will be the first Trading Day on or after the date on which such individual first becomes an Outside Director (such first date as an Outside Director, the "Initial Start Date"), whether through election by the stockholders of the Company or appointment by the Board to fill a vacancy. The Initial Award will have an aggregate grant date fair value (determined in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) (the "Value") of $300,000 (with the number of Shares subject to the Initial Award rounded to the nearest whole Share). If an individual was an Inside Director, becoming an Outside Director due to termination of the individual's status as an Employee will not entitle the Outside Director to an Initial Award. Each Initial Award will be scheduled to vest as to 1/3rd of the Restricted Stock Units subject to the Initial Award on each of the first three anniversaries of the applicable Outside Director's Initial Start Date, subject to the Outside Director remaining a Service Provider through the applicable vesting date. 3.3 Annual Award.

The Annual Award will be scheduled to vest as to 100% of the Restricted Stock Units on the earlier of (a) the first anniversary of the date the Annual Award is granted or (b) the day prior to the date of the Annual Meeting next following the date the Annual Award was granted, subject to the Outside Director remaining a Service Provider through such vesting date. 3.4 Additional Terms of Initial Awards and Annual Awards. The terms and conditions of each Initial Award and Annual Award (each, a "Policy Award") will be as follows. 3.4.1 Each Policy Award will be granted under and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the applicable form of Award Agreement previously approved by the Board or its Committee (as defined below), as applicable, for use thereunder. 3.4.2 The Board or its Committee, as applicable and in its discretion, may change and otherwise revise the terms of Policy Awards to be granted in the future pursuant to this Policy, including without limitation the number of Shares subject thereto and type of Award.
