Restricted Stock Units. Each Outside Director will receive shares of Common Stock for their Restricted Stock Units on the fifth business day of the calendar quarter following the quarter of his or her separation from Board service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may at any time deny the payment of, or reduce the amount of, the Restricted Stock Units of any Participant if, in the opinion of the Board, such Participant was engaged in an act of misconduct or otherwise engaged in conduct detrimental to the Company.

A person who is initially elected or appointed to the Board other than on the date of an annual meeting of stockholders and who is an Outside Director at the time of such initial election or appointment shall receive on the date of such initial election or appointment (or as soon as practicable thereafter) a pro-rated grant of whole Restricted Shares or Stock Units, which proration shall reflect such Outside Director’s partial year of service, calculated as the quotient of # $175,000 or such other amount as is approved, from time to time, by the Board or Committee as part of the Company’s non-employee director compensation program, divided by # the Fair Market Value of a Share as of the grant date multiplied by a fraction, # the numerator of which is the number of days from the date of such initial election or appointment through the first anniversary of the date of the preceding annual meeting of stockholders and # the denominator of which is three hundred and sixty-five (365). The Restricted Shares or Stock Units granted under this Section 4(e)(ii) shall vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant (or, if earlier, the date of the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders following the date of grant). Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Restricted Share or Stock Unit granted under this Section 4(e)(ii) shall become vested if a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company during the Outside Director’s Service.
