Initial Award. Each Non-Employee Director who is initially elected or appointed to the Board after the Effective Date and other than on the date of an Annual Meeting, shall automatically be granted a number of shares of Restricted Stock on the date of such initial election or appointment determined by dividing the Pro-Rated Annual Award (as defined below) by the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Equity Plan) of a share of the Company’s Class A common stock on the date of such election or appointment (with any partial shares that result being rounded up to the nearest whole share) (the “Initial Award”). “Pro-Rated Annual Award” means the product determined by multiplying (i) $100,000 (or, for the Chair of the Audit Committee, $110,000), by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to (x) 365 minus (y) the number of days since the most recent Annual Meeting as of the Non-Employee Director’s date of election or appointment, and the denominator of which is 365.
Annual Award. On the date of each regular annual meeting of stockholders of the Company held after the Effective Date (an “Annual Meeting”), each Non-Employee Director who is elected or continues to serve as a Non-Employee Director immediately following such Annual Meeting will be automatically granted a number of shares of Restricted Stock on the date of such Annual Meeting determined by dividing $100,000 (or, for the Chair of the Audit Committee, $110,000) by the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Equity Plan) of a share of the Company’s Class A common stock on the date of the Annual Meeting (with any partial shares that result being rounded up to the nearest whole share) (the “Annual Award”).
Vesting. Each Initial Award and Annual Award shall vest in a single installment on the day immediately prior to the date of the Annual Meeting occurring after the date of grant, in either case, subject to the Non-Employee Director continuing in service as a Non-Employee Director through such vesting date.
Forfeiture. Unless the Board otherwise determines, any portion of an Initial Award or Annual Award which is unvested at the time of a Non-Employee Director’s termination of service on the Board as a Non-Employee Director shall be immediately forfeited upon such termination of service and shall not thereafter become vested. All of a Non-Employee Director’s Initial Awards and Annual Awards shall vest in full immediately prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in the Equity Plan), to the extent outstanding at such time.
DEFERRALSAND ALTERNATIVE FORM ELECTIONS.
The Board may adopt a program or programs that allow Non-Employee Directors to (i) defer receipt of the Annual Retainer or the Annual Award or (ii) to receive the Annual Retainer in the form of shares of Class A common stock.
