This Policy shall become effective after the effectiveness of the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) and shall remain in effect until it is revised or rescinded by further action of the Board. This Policy shall apply only to Non-Employee Directors who are initially elected or appointed to the Board after the effectiveness of the IPO.  This Policy may be amended, modified or terminated by the Board at any time in its sole discretion.  The terms and conditions of this Policy shall supersede any prior cash and/or equity compensation arrangements for service as a member of the Board between the Company and any of its Non-Employee Directors and between any subsidiary of the Company and any of its non-employee directors.
