With respect to an individual who becomes an Eligible Director during a calendar year after the First Trading Day, such Eligible Director’s Annual Restricted Stock Unit Grant for that year shall have a fair market value obtained by multiplying $75,000 by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of whole calendar months remaining in the calendar year and the denominator of which is twelve. Such prorated grant shall be made upon the first trading day of the calendar month, within the Company’s open trading window, following the date such individual becomes an Eligible Director, with the number of shares determined using the closing price of the Common Stock on the grant date, and rounding this number to the nearest integer multiple of one hundred (100) shares.
