General

The number of RSUs subject to each automatic equity award will be determined by dividing the target equity value allocated to such RSUs by the average closing price of the Company’s Common Stock as reported on Nasdaq over the thirty trading day period ending on the date of grant, rounded down to the nearest whole share.

 

2.

Each RSU will be settled by issuing one share of the Company’s common stock upon vesting, unless a deferral program is implemented.

 

3.

All automatic equity awards will fully vest upon the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) before the Outside Director’s service terminates.

 

4.

All equity awards will be subject to the forms of RSU agreement adopted by the Board for use under the Plan consistent with the foregoing.
