Director is initially elected or appointed to the Board effective on any date other than June 1, such Non-Employee Director shall automatically be granted, on the June 1 following the date he or she joins the Board (or such earlier date as he or she ceases to serve as a director), a number of RSUs equal to (i) 2,000 multiplied by (ii)  a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full calendar months such Non-Employee Director has served on the Board during the period beginning on the date such director joined the Board and ending on the following May 31 (or such earlier date as he or she ceases to serve as a director) and the denominator of which is 6; provided that such fraction shall in no event be greater than one.

C.            Delivery of Shares.   Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the Non-Employee Director shall be entitled to delivery of Shares that underlie the RSUs then outstanding (which amount shall be rounded to the nearest whole number to avoid delivery of fractional Shares) upon the earlier of (i) the date of the Non-Employee Director’s death or Disability, and (ii) one year after the date on which the Non-Employee Director is no longer serving as a director of the Company.  Delivery of Shares shall be effected by book entry credit to the Non-Employee Director’s account with the Company’s transfer agent.

D.            Restrictions.   A Non-Employee Director shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company and shall have no rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the RSUs.  Upon delivery of Shares pursuant to Section VI.C the Non-Employee Director will obtain full voting and other rights as a shareholder of the Company.  The RSUs granted pursuant to this Section VI shall be fully vested but may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated at any time.

E.             Dividend Equivalent Rights.   Each RSU shall include a Dividend Equivalent Right that shall entitle the Non-Employee Director to receive at or as soon as practicable after the time of distribution of any regular cash dividend paid by the Company in respect of a Share the record date for which occurs on or after the date such RSU is granted, a cash payment equal to such regular dividend payment as would have been made in respect of each Share underlying such RSU.  Payment with respect to a Dividend Equivalent Right shall be made only with respect to such RSUs that are outstanding on the dividend record date.

F.            Sale of the Company.   In the event of a merger of the Company with or into another corporation constituting a change of control of the Company, a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or a sale of a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting securities (a “Sale of the Company”), the RSUs may be assumed by the successor corporation or a parent of such successor corporation or substantially equivalent RSUs may be substituted by the successor corporation or a parent of such successor corporation, and if the successor corporation does not assume the RSUs or substitute RSUs, then all outstanding RSUs shall immediately be payable in Shares upon consummation of the Sale of the Company.  The Company shall provide at least 30 days prior written notice of the Sale of the Company to the holders of all outstanding RSUs, which notice shall state whether (a) the RSUs will be assumed by the successor corporation or substantially equivalent RSUs will be substituted by the successor corporation, or (b) the RSUs are immediately payable upon consummation of the Sale of the Company.
