| 4. On the third anniversary of the grant date, the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units ("PRSUs") will vest and the number of shares of the Issuer's common stock ("Common Stock") to be issued pursuant to the PRSUs will be determined based on the total shareholder return ("TSR") of the Common Stock relative to the respective TSRs of the stocks of a peer group of companies, each measured over a three-year period from the date of grant of the PRSUs. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon vesting of the PRSUs will range between 0% to 200% of the number of shares indicated above (the target share amount). |
| 5. (Continuation of Footnote 4) - If the Reporting Person's employment is terminated under certain circumstances or a change of control occurs prior to the third anniversary of the grant date, all or a portion of the PRSUs will vest and the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the PRSUs will be determined at such time, based on the respective TSRs of the Common Stock and the stocks of the peer group, each measured from the grant date to the accelerated vesting date. PRSUs have no voting rights and are generally non-transferable. |
