5.Equity Retainer. Each director shall receive an annual equity award of deferred share units or restricted stock units with a fair market value equal to $115,000 on the date of the grant, as determined under the Company’s Equity Plan (as defined below). This annual equity grant shall be made on the day of the Company’s annual shareholder meeting as a prospective award (i.e., for the coming year of service). The type of annual equity award granted (i.e., restricted stock units or deferred share units) shall depend on whether the director has met the stock ownership and retention requirements of the Company’s Non-Employee Director Equity Ownership Policy (the “Stock Ownership Policy”) on the applicable date of grant. The restricted stock units and deferred share units will be subject to the terms and condition of the award agreement and Equity Plan.


h.Directors who have satisfied the requirements of the Stock Ownership Policy on the date of grant shall receive an annual grant of restricted stock units. Restricted stock units shall vest on the earlier to occur of
(a) the day preceding the next annual shareholder meeting at which directors are elected, or (b) the first anniversary of the grant date, in each case subject to the director’s continued service as a non- employee director or other service provider. If a termination occurs prior to the end of the vesting period due to a voluntary resignation from the board or involuntary removal without cause, a prorated portion of the deferred share units will become vested. If the director’s termination occurs due to death or disability, or a change in control occurs prior to the termination of the director’s service, the deferred share units will become fully vested. Vested restricted stock units granted to non-employee directors shall settle into the Company’s common stock following the earlier to occur of (i) the vesting date, (ii) the director receiving the grant has ceased to serve as a non-employee director on the Board or other service provider due to death, Disability voluntary resignation or removal without Cause (as such terms are defined in the award agreement and Equity Plan), and (iii) a change in control within the parameters of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”).


i.Directors who have not yet satisfied the requirements of the Stock Ownership Policy on the date of grant shall receive an annual grant of deferred share units.

If a termination occurs prior to the end of the vesting period due to a voluntary resignation from the board or involuntary removal without cause, a prorated












portion of the deferred share units will become vested. If the director’s termination occurs due to death or disability, or a change in control occurs prior to the termination of the director’s service, the deferred share units will become fully vested. Vested deferred share units granted to non-employee directors shall settle into the Company’s common stock following the earlier to occur of (i) the director receiving the grant has ceased to serve as a non-employee director on the Board or other service provider and (ii) a change in control within the parameters of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”).
