Immediately after each Annual Meeting of Stockholders beginning with the 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, each Non-Employee Director shall automatically be granted restricted stock units of the Company (“RSUs”) with a value of $255,000 (based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC on the grant date), with any fractional share rounded to the nearest whole share; provided, that any person who becomes a Non-Employee Director at any time of the year other than the date of the Annual Meeting of Stockholders shall automatically be granted RSUs equal to the pro rata portion of $255,000 based on the number of days remaining in the one-year period following the date of the most recent previous Annual Meeting of Stockholders, such grant to be effective on the date he or she becomes a Non-Employee Director and based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC on the grant date, with any fractional share rounded to the nearest whole share.
