Award of Deferred Stock Units for Non-Employee Directors. Effective the day of each annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders, each newly-elected or continuing Non-Employee Director shall be granted that number of Stock Units that is equal to $220,000 divided by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the last Trading Day in the calendar month in which such Award is made. Each Award is intended to be in consideration for service until the next annual meeting of stockholders, but will be fully earned on the date of the Award and credited to the Non-Employee Director’s account on the day the number of Stock Units is determined. Provided, however, if the Director terminates service on or before the day of the annual meeting of stockholders, the related Award to be earned on such meeting date will not be made.

Annual Awards. Each Non-Employee Director who # serves on the Board as of the date of any annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders (an “Annual Meeting”) and # will continue to serve as a Non-Employee Director immediately following such Annual Meeting shall be automatically granted, on the date of such Annual Meeting, an award of restricted stock units that have an aggregate fair value on the date of such Annual Meeting of $200,000 (as determined in accordance with ASC 718 and with the number of shares of common stock underlying such award subject to adjustment as provided in the Equity Plan). The awards described in this Section 2(a) shall be referred to as the “Annual Awards.” For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company’s Annual Meeting does not occur by June 30 of each calendar year, each Non-Employee Director shall be automatically granted an Annual Award on June 30.

On the close of business on the date of each annual stockholders meeting of the Company, without further action by the Board, each Non-Employee Director then in office shall receive an equity award (the “Annual Award”). The Annual Award will have an estimated fair value of $170,000 using valuation methodologies deemed appropriate by the Compensation Committee of the Board or the Board from time to time, in light of commercial considerations deemed necessary to fulfill the goals set forth in this Policy and to align directors with stockholder interests. The Annual Award will be comprised of Restricted Stock Units which will vest in full upon the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of the vesting start date or (ii) the date immediately prior to the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders.

Annual Equity Award. A person who is a Non-Employee Director immediately following each annual meeting of the Company's stockholders and who will continue to serve as a Non-Employee Director following such annual meeting shall be automatically granted on the second market trading day following the date of each such annual meeting a restricted share unit award with a grant date value equal to $160,000 (the "Annual Equity Award"). The Annual Equity Award shall vest on the earlier of the first anniversary date of the grant date or the date of the Company's next subsequent annual meeting of stockholders following the grant date.
