Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates shall have any liability or obligation to Recipient in the event that this Agreement does not comply with, or is not exempt from, Code Section 409A.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Sale of the Company occurs on or prior to the expiration of the Appendix I Measurement Period, then the Reference Price for such Appendix I Performance Period ending on the date of consummation of the Sale of the Company shall equal the Sale Price.

12192410.2.TAX -7-


additional amount with respect to which the Appendix I Performance Requirements are treated as being satisfied in such Appendix I Performance Period, divided by (ii) the Daily Value on the last day of such Appendix I Performance Period (determined without regard to the last sentence of the Daily Value definition), shall be immediately converted into their settlement amount (such Appendix I PSUs that are so converted, “Appendix I Performance-Satisfied PSUs”), with such settlement amount to equal the Fair Market Value of one share of CDI Stock on the last day of such Appendix I Performance Period, plus the Appendix I Accumulated Dividend Equivalent Value with respect to such Appendix I Performance Satisfied PSU (such amount with respect to any Appendix I Performance-Satisfied PSU, the “Appendix I Settlement Amount” stated as a U.S. dollar amount determined at such time and with respect to all such Appendix I Performance-Satisfied PSUs, the “Aggregate Appendix I Settlement Amount,” which Aggregate Appendix I Settlement Amount shall be the sum of all such stated U.S. dollar amounts). Subject to Section 8 below, the Aggregate Appendix I Settlement Amount shall be paid only upon the satisfaction of the Time-Based Requirements. If the Appendix I Performance Requirements have not been satisfied for at least one Appendix I Performance Period during the Appendix I Measurement Period, then the Aggregate Appendix I Settlement Amount shall be $0. Any PSUs that are eligible to be earned under this Appendix I that have not become Appendix I Performance-Satisfied PSUs as of the last day of the Appendix I Measurement Period shall be immediately forfeited with no consideration or other compensation or payment due to the Recipient.

4. Time-Based Requirements. If the Time-Based Requirements are not satisfied (including, without limitation, as the result of failing to timely execute the Release or not making the required Total Disability acknowledgement), then the Aggregate Appendix I Settlement Amount, as well as all PSUs that could be earned under this Appendix I, including, without limitation, any that have become Appendix I Performance-Satisfied PSUs, shall be immediately forfeited with no consideration or other compensation or payment due to the Recipient. The parties hereto specifically acknowledge and agree that Section 10.4 of the Plan shall not apply to this Grant.

5. Settlement. Subject to Section 8 below, if the Time-Based Requirements and any portion of the Appendix I Performance Requirements have been satisfied, then the Aggregate Appendix I Settlement Amount shall be paid to the Recipient in a lump sum cash payment within 30 days after September 30, 2019; provided, however, that if (x) the Time-Based Requirements are satisfied pursuant to clause (ii) or (iv) of the definition thereof, then payment of the Aggregate Appendix I Settlement Amount instead shall be made within 60 days after the earlier of the day that is 6 months following Recipient’s Separation from Service or September 30, 2019 and (y) the Time-Based Requirements are satisfied under clause (iii) of the definition thereof as a result of the Recipient’s death, then payment of the Aggregate Appendix I Settlement Amount instead shall be made within 60 days after the date of such death. The parties hereto agree that the occurrence of a Change in Control or Sale of the Company shall not accelerate the payment date (provided that the Company retains the discretion to accelerate the payment date in connection with a Sale of the Company to the extent permitted under, and in accordance with, Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)).

6. Dividend Equivalents. No dividends shall be paid with respect to any Appendix I PSUs. However, if an Extraordinary Cash Dividend has a record date during the Appendix I Measurement Period, then any PSUs that could be earned under this Appendix I and that have not become Appendix I Performance-Satisfied PSUs as of the record date of such Extraordinary Cash Dividend shall be credited with the Common Stock per-share amount of such Extraordinary Cash Dividend as of such record date (the amount of dividend equivalents so credited on any such PSU, such PSU’s “Appendix I Accumulated Dividend Equivalent Value”), with such amount to be paid only as provided in Sections 5 and 8 of this Appendix I. The

12192410.2.TAX -8-


Appendix I Accumulated Dividend Equivalent Value shall be immediately forfeited with no consideration or other compensation or payment due to the Recipient in the event that the PSUs to which such amounts relate are forfeited.

7. Adjustments. In the event of a reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, spin-off, split-off, split-up, stock dividend, issuance of stock rights, combination of shares, merger, consolidation or any other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting CDI Stock, then in addition to the adjustments permitted by the Plan, the Committee shall make any equitable adjustment to the Maximum Hurdle, the Reference Price Minimum Hurdle and the Minimum Hurdle, as well as the then highest achieved Reference Price in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of rights hereunder (it being understood that the Maximum Hurdle and Minimum Hurdle are intended to represent a 300% increase and a 200% increase, respectively, in a trading price for the CDI Stock of $15.79, and as such, if an event described above occurs, it may be necessary to adjust such Maximum Hurdle, Reference Price Minimum Hurdle, Minimum Hurdle and the then highest achieved Reference Price to continue to reflect the desired percentage increase).

8. Earning Override. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Agreement or this Appendix I to the contrary, in the event that none of the Maximum Appendix II Settlement Amount (as defined in Appendix II) becomes payable in accordance with Appendix II, then the Aggregate Appendix I Settlement Amount shall be $0.00 (regardless of whether any of the Appendix I Performance Requirements have been satisfied), and all PSUs, including any Appendix I Performance Satisfied PSUs, shall be immediately forfeited with no consideration, compensation or payments otherwise due to the Recipient. Notwithstanding Section 5 of this Appendix I, in the event that no portion of the Maximum Appendix II Settlement Amount is paid under Section 7(a) of Appendix II, but payment of the Maximum Appendix II Settlement Amount could be made under Section 7(b) of Appendix II, then payment of the Aggregate Appendix I Settlement Amount shall not be made as provided in Section 5 of this Appendix I, but instead shall be made only if payment of the Maximum Appendix II Settlement Amount under Section 7(b) of Appendix II is greater than $0.00 (with payment of the Aggregate Appendix I Settlement Amount to be made when payment of the Maximum Appendix II Settlement Amount is made under Section 7(b) of Appendix II); provided, that if no portion of the Maximum Appendix II Settlement Amount is so paid under Section 7(b) of Appendix II, then the Aggregate Appendix I Settlement Amount shall be $0.00 (regardless of whether any of the Appendix I Performance Requirements have been satisfied), and all PSUs, including any Appendix I Performance Satisfied PSUs, shall be immediately forfeited with no consideration, compensation or payments otherwise due to the Recipient.

In the event that the Appendix I Performance Requirements (as defined in Appendix I) have been satisfied during the Appendix I Measurement Period (as defined in Appendix I), then subject to the Committee’s certification thereof, on the first day on which the Appendix I Performance Requirements have been so satisfied, a number of the Appendix II PSUs equal to the quotient of $10,000,000, divided by the Daily Value (as defined in Appendix I, but determined without regard to the last sentence of such definition) on the date on which the Appendix I Performance Requirements were first satisfied shall be deemed conditionally earned, subject to reduction under Sections 4, 5, 7 and 9 below and subject to vesting under Section 6 below (such Appendix II PSUs, the “Conditionally Earned Appendix II PSUs”). On such date, the Conditionally Earned Appendix II PSUs shall be immediately converted into their settlement amount, with such settlement amount for each such Conditionally Earned Appendix II PSU to equal the Fair Market Value of one share of CDI Stock on the date of such conversion, plus the Appendix II Accumulated Dividend Equivalent Value

12192410.2.TAX -11-


with respect to such Conditionally Earned Appendix II PSU (the aggregate amount with respect to all such Conditionally Earned Appendix II PSUs, the “Maximum Appendix II Settlement Amount”), provided that in no event shall the Maximum Appendix II Settlement Amount exceed $10,000,000. The Maximum Appendix II Settlement Amount shall be subject to reduction pursuant to Sections 4, 5, 7 and 9 below, and shall be paid only upon the satisfaction of the Time-Based Requirements, subject to Section 9 below. Any Appendix II PSUs that do not become Conditionally Earned Appendix II PSUs in accordance with this Section 3, along with the Appendix II Accumulated Dividend Equivalent Value relating thereto, shall be immediately forfeited with no compensation, payments or other benefits owed to Recipient.
4.    Performance Requirements. Effective as of the last day of the Appendix II Measurement Period, the Maximum Appendix II Settlement Amount shall be recalculated as follows:
(a)    If the highest IBOP achieved during any Appendix II Performance Period is below the IBOP Minimum Hurdle, then (i) the Appendix II Performance Requirements shall not be treated as being satisfied, (ii) the Maximum Appendix II Settlement Amount shall be reduced to $0.00 and (iii) no amounts shall be payable to the Recipient under this Appendix II or Appendix I.
(b)    If the highest IBOP achieved during any Appendix II Performance Period equals the IBOP Minimum Hurdle, then (i) the Appendix II Performance Requirements shall be treated as being satisfied for $5,000,000 and (ii) the Maximum Appendix II Settlement Amount shall be reduced under this Section 4 to $5,000,000.
(c)    If the highest IBOP achieved during any Appendix II Performance Period exceeds the IBOP Minimum Hurdle but is less than the IBOP Maximum Hurdle, then (i) the Appendix II Performance Requirements shall be satisfied for an amount equal to $5,000,000, plus the product of (x) $5,000,000 and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which equals the difference between the highest IBOP for any Appendix II Performance Period and the IBOP Minimum Hurdle and the denominator of which equals the difference between the IBOP Maximum Hurdle and the IBOP Minimum Hurdle and (ii) the Maximum Appendix II Settlement Amount shall be reduced under this Section 4 to equal the amount for which the Appendix II Performance Requirements are treated as being satisfied under this Section 4(c).
(d)    If the highest IBOP achieved during any Appendix II Performance Period equals or exceeds the IBOP Maximum Hurdle, then (i) the Appendix II Performance Requirements shall be satisfied for an aggregate of $10,000,000 and (ii) the Maximum Appendix II Settlement Amount shall not be reduced under this Section 4.
The Maximum Appendix II Settlement Amount (as reduced pursuant to this Section 4, if applicable) shall be subject to further adjustment under Sections 5, 7 and 9 below.
5. Assessment of Sustainability of IBOP. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Agreement or this Appendix II to the contrary, following the application of Section 4 above, IBOP for certain Appendix II Performance Periods shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in this Section 5.

(a)    If (x) IBOP for any Appendix II Performance Period included in the Initial Testing Period equals or exceeds the IBOP Minimum Hurdle (any such Appendix II Performance Period, a “Section 5(a) Achieving Period”) and (y) the lowest achieved IBOP for any Appendix II Performance Period (whether or not in the Initial Testing Period) following a Section 5(a) Achieving Period is less than 80% of the IBOP for such Section 5(a) Achieving Period, then IBOP for each such Section 5(a) Achieving Period shall be recalculated to equal the product of

12192410.2.TAX -12-


(X) the quotient of (i) the lowest IBOP for any Appendix II Performance Period (whether or not in the Initial Testing Period) after such Section 5(a) Achieving Period, divided by (ii) 80% of IBOP for such Section 5(a) Achieving Period, multiplied by (Y) IBOP for such Section 5(a) Achieving Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there are less than five Appendix II Performance Periods in the Appendix II Measurement Period, then this Section 5(a) shall not apply. The recalculations under this Section 5(a) shall be repeated until no further recalculations could be made under this Section 5(a).

(b)    If (x) IBOP during any of the final four Appendix II Performance Periods (or, if there are less than four Appendix II Performance Periods, such lesser number of Appendix II Performance Periods) equals or exceeds the IBOP Minimum Hurdle (any such Appendix II Performance Period, a “Section 5(b) Achieving Period”) and (y) IBOP during any of the final four Appendix II Performance Periods (or, if there are less than four Appendix II Performance Periods, such lesser number of Appendix II Performance Periods) is the highest achieved IBOP during the Appendix II Measurement Period (after giving effect to all IBOP recalculations under subsection (a) above, if the recalculation in subsection (a) above applied), then IBOP for each such Section 5(b) Achieving Period shall be subject to recalculation as set forth in this Section 5(b). If the lowest achieved IBOP for a Subsequent Testing Period that follows a Section 5(b) Achieving Period is less than 80% of IBOP for such Section 5(b) Achieving Period, then IBOP for such Section 5(b) Achieving Period shall be recalculated to equal the product of (X) the quotient of (i) the lowest IBOP for any of the Subsequent Testing Periods following such Section 5(b) Achieving Period, divided by (ii) 80% of IBOP for such Section 5(b) Achieving Period, multiplied by (Y) IBOP for such Section 5(b) Achieving Period. If the lowest achieved IBOP for a Subsequent Testing Period that follows a Section 5(b) Achieving Period is not less than 80% of IBOP for such Section 5(b) Achieving Period, then IBOP for such Section 5(b) Achieving Period shall not be recalculated under this Section 5(b). The recalculations under this Section 5(b) shall be repeated until no further recalculations could be made under this Section 5(b).

(c)     For the avoidance of doubt, the recalculations under both Sections 5(a) and 5(b) of this Appendix II may be applicable.

6. Time-Based Requirements. If the Time-Based Requirements are not satisfied (including, without limitation, as the result of failing to timely execute the Release or not making the required Total Disability acknowledgement), then the Maximum Appendix II Settlement Amount, as well as all Appendix II PSUs (including, without limitation, any that have become Conditionally Earned Appendix II PSUs) shall be immediately forfeited with no consideration or other compensation or payment due to the Recipient. The parties hereto specifically acknowledge and agree that Section 10.4 of the Plan shall not apply to this Grant.

7. Settlement.

(a)    If the Time-Based Requirements have been satisfied, then if IBOP for any Appendix II Performance Period included in the Initial Testing Period equals or exceeds the IBOP Minimum Hurdle (determined after giving effect to all recalculations of IBOP under Section 5(a) of this Appendix II), a portion of the Maximum Appendix II Settlement Amount equal to what the Maximum Appendix II Settlement Amount would have been under Section 4 above had the highest achieved IBOP during any Appendix II Performance Period equaled the highest achieved IBOP in the Initial Testing Period (determined after giving effect to all IBOP recalculations under Section 5(a) of this Appendix II) shall be paid to the Recipient in a lump sum cash payment within 30 days after September 30, 2019; provided, however, that if (x) the Time-Based Requirements are satisfied pursuant to clause (ii) or (iv) of the definition thereof, then payment of such amount instead shall be made within 60 days after the earlier of the day

12192410.2.TAX -13-


that is 6 months following Recipient’s Separation from Service or September 30, 2019 and (y) the Time-Based Requirements are satisfied under clause (iii) of the definition thereof as a result of the Recipient’s death, payment of such amount instead shall be made within 60 days after the date of such death.

(b)     If the Time-Based Requirements have been satisfied, then if IBOP during any of the final four Appendix II Performance Periods equals or exceeds the IBOP Minimum Hurdle (determined after giving effect to all recalculations of IBOP under Sections 5(a) and 5(b) of this Appendix II) and is the highest achieved IBOP during the Appendix II Measurement Period (determined after giving effect to all recalculations of IBOP under Sections 5(a) and 5(b) of this Appendix II), then a portion of the Maximum Appendix II Settlement Amount equal to (X) what the Maximum Appendix II Settlement Amount would have been under Section 4 above had the highest achieved IBOP during any Appendix II Performance Period equaled the highest achieved IBOP in any of the final four Appendix II Performance Periods (determined after giving effect to all IBOP recalculations under Sections 5(a) and 5(b) of this Appendix II), less (Y) the portion of the Maximum Appendix II Settlement Amount paid under Section 7(a) of this Appendix II, if any, shall be paid to the Recipient in a lump sum cash payment within 60 days after the last day of the last Subsequent Testing Period. If the amount determined under clause (X) above is equal to or less than the amount paid under Section 7(a) of this Appendix II, then the amount payable under this Section 7(b) shall be $0.00.

(c)    Notwithstanding anything contained in the Grant to the contrary, if neither Section 7(a) nor 7(b) of this Appendix II are applicable (because, for example, IBOP (as recalculated under Section 5 of this Appendix II) did not equal or exceed the IBOP Minimum Hurdle for any Appendix II Performance Period or because the Time-Based Requirements were not satisfied), then no amounts shall be payable to the Recipient under this Appendix II or Appendix I.

(d)    Any portion of the Maximum Appendix II Settlement Amount not paid under this Section 7 shall be immediately forfeited with no compensation, consideration or other payments due to the Recipient.

The parties hereto agree that the occurrence of a Change in Control or Sale of the Company shall not accelerate the payment date (provided that the Company retains the discretion to accelerate the payment date in connection with a Sale of the Company to the extent permitted under, and in accordance with, Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)).

8. Dividend Equivalents. No dividends shall be paid with respect to any Appendix II PSUs. However, if an Extraordinary Cash Dividend has a record date during the Appendix I Measurement Period but before the first date on which any Appendix II PSUs become Conditionally Earned Appendix II PSUs, then any Appendix II PSUs shall be credited with the Common Stock per-share amount of such Extraordinary Cash Dividend as of such record date (the amount of dividend equivalents so credited on any such Appendix II PSU, such Appendix II PSU’s “Appendix II Accumulated Dividend Equivalent Value”), with such amount to be paid only as provided in Sections 7 and 9 of this Appendix II (subject to Sections 4 and 5 of this Appendix II). The Appendix II Accumulated Dividend Equivalent Value shall be immediately forfeited with no consideration or other compensation or payment due to the Recipient in the event that the Appendix II PSUs to which such amounts relate are forfeited.

9. Earning Override. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Agreement or this Appendix II to the contrary, in the event that as of the end of the Appendix I Measurement Period, the Aggregate Appendix I Settlement Amount (as defined in Appendix I) is not greater than $0.00, then the Maximum Appendix II Settlement Amount shall be $0.00 (regardless of whether any of

12192410.2.TAX -14-


the Appendix II Performance Requirements have been satisfied), and all Appendix II PSUs shall be immediately forfeited with no consideration, compensation or payments otherwise due to the Recipient, and no portion of the Maximum Appendix II Settlement Amount shall be paid to the Recipient.

ATTACHMENT 1
 
Hypothetical 1

The only Extraordinary Cash Dividend during the Appendix I Measurement Period with a record date before the end of the Appendix I Performance Period commencing on October 1, 2016 was $3.00 per share.

Prior to the Appendix I Performance Period commencing on October 1, 2016, no portion of the Appendix I Performance Requirements have been satisfied.

With respect to the Appendix I Performance Period commencing on October 1, 2016, (i) the average Daily Value equals $33.00, (ii) the Daily Value for 30 of such trading days was $35.00, the Daily Value for another 30 of such trading days was $34.00 and the Daily Value for another 30 of such trading days was $30.00 and (iii) the lowest Daily Value during the last 20 trading days was $35.00. The Daily Value on the last day of such Performance Period was $35.00.

Based on the foregoing, the Reference Price for such Performance Period is $33.00 (which is the highest number that does not exceed the amount determined under any of clause (i) ($33.00), clause (ii) ($34.00) or clause (iii) ($35.00)). Because $33.00 is greater than the Reference Price Minimum Hurdle (which as of the end of such Appendix I Performance Period was $31.58), the Appendix I Performance Requirements for the Appendix I Performance Period commencing on October 1, 2016 were satisfied for $5,449,651.68 (which equals $5,000,000 + ($5,000,000 X (($33.00 - $31.58) / ($47.37 -$31.58))).

Based on such achievement, the number of Appendix I PSUs that will be treated as Appendix I Performance Satisfied PSUs would equal 155,704.33 ($5,449,651.68 / $35.00). Such Appendix I Performance Satisfied PSUs would then be immediately converted to their Appendix I Settlement Amount, which equals $5,449,651.68 (the sum of the Fair Market Value of such Appendix I Performance Satisfied PSUs on the last day of such Appendix I Performance Period ($4,982,538.68), plus the Appendix I Accumulated Dividend Equivalent Value of such Appendix I Performance Satisfied PSUs ($467,113)).

Such amount ($5,449,651.68) would then be paid as provided in Section 5 of Appendix I only upon the satisfaction of the Time-Based Requirements, subject to Section 8 of Appendix I.

Hypothetical 2

The facts are the same as Hypothetical 1.

Prior to the end of the Appendix I Performance Period commencing on March 1, 2017, no additional portion of the Appendix I Performance Requirements have been satisfied (beyond those satisfied under Hypothetical 1 above), nor have any additional Extraordinary Cash Dividends been declared.

With respect to the Appendix I Performance Period commencing on March 1, 2017, the Reference Price is determined to be $32.00 applying the same principles as applied in

12192410.2.TAX -16-


Hypothetical 1.

Based on the foregoing, the Reference Price for such Appendix I Performance Period did not exceed the Reference Price Minimum Hurdle (which at such time was $33.00), and as such, no portion of the Appendix I Performance Requirements was satisfied during such Appendix I Performance Period. However, the Appendix I Performance Requirements for the previous Appendix I Performance Period (commencing on October 1, 2016) remain satisfied, resulting in an Aggregate Appendix I Settlement Amount of $5,449,651.68 (to be paid if and only if the Time-Based Requirements are satisfied, subject to Section 8 of Appendix I).

Hypothetical 3

The facts are the same as Hypotheticals 1 and 2.

Prior to the end of the Appendix I Performance Period commencing on July 2, 2017, no additional portion of the Appendix I Performance Requirements have been satisfied (beyond those satisfied under Hypothetical 1 above), nor have any additional Extraordinary Cash Dividends been declared.

With respect to the Appendix I Performance Period commencing on July 2, 2017, (i) the average Daily Value equals $36.00, (ii) 30 trading days during such period had a Daily Value of $32.00, while the other 60 trading days had a Daily Value of $38.00 and (iii) the lowest Daily Value for the last 20 trading days was $38.00. The Daily Value on the last trading day of such Appendix I Performance Period was $38.00.

Based on the foregoing and applying the same principles as applied in Hypothetical 1, the Reference Price was $36.00. Because $36.00 is greater than the Reference Price Minimum Hurdle (which as of the end of such Appendix I Performance Period was $33.00 as per Hypotheticals 1 and 2 above), the Appendix I Performance Requirements for the Appendix I Performance Period commencing on July 2, 2017 were satisfied. As the result of such achievement, the aggregate amount with respect to which the Appendix I Performance Requirements are satisfied for such Appendix I Performance Period and all prior Appendix I Performance Periods equals $6,399,620.01 ($5,000,000 + ($5,000,000 X (($36.00-$31.58) / ($47.37-$31.58)). Because the Appendix I Performance Requirements were already satisfied for $5,449,651.68, the additional amount with respect to which the Appendix I Performance Requirements were satisfied for the Appendix I Performance Period commencing on July 2, 2017 was $949,968.33 ($6,399,620.01 - $5,449,651.68).

Based on such achievement, the additional number of Appendix I PSUs that will be treated as Appendix I Performance Satisfied PSUs would equal 24,999.16 ($949,968.33 / $38.00). Such Appendix I Performance Satisfied PSUs would then be immediately converted to their Appendix I Settlement Amount, which equals $949,968.33 (the sum of the Fair Market Value of such Appendix I Performance Satisfied PSUs ($874,970.83), plus the Appendix I Accumulated Dividend Equivalent Value of such Appendix I Performance Satisfied PSUs ($74,997.50)).

As of the end of the Appendix I Performance Period commencing on July 2, 2017, the Aggregate Appendix I Settlement Amount would be $6,399,620.01 ($5,449,651.68 for the Appendix I Performance Period commencing on October 1, 2016, plus $949,968.33

12192410.2.TAX -17-


for the Appendix I Performance Period commencing on July 2, 2017). Such Aggregate Appendix I Settlement Amount would be paid if and only if the Time-Based Requirements are satisfied, subject to Section 8 of Appendix I.

Hypothetical 4

Assume the same facts as Hypotheticals 1, 2 and 3, except that no portion of the Appendix II Performance Requirements were satisfied during the Appendix II Measurement Period.

In such case, the Aggregate Appendix I Settlement amount would be $0.00 and no amounts would be paid to the Recipient under Appendix I or Appendix II.

Hypothetical 1

Assume that IBOP during an Appendix II Performance Period is $12,000,000 - $3,000,000 of which is from company A, $3,000,000 of which is from company B and $1,000,000 of which is from companies C, D, E, F, G and H.

Because IBOP from two customers in an Appendix II Performance Period is more than 40% of IBOP for that Appendix II Performance Period, IBOP in excess of 40% will be disregarded. As the result, IBOP for such Appendix II Performance Period would be reduced to $10,800,000 ($12,000,000 – ($3,000,000 + $3,000,000 – (40% X $12,000,000)).

Because the Appendix I Performance Requirements were satisfied on July 2, 2017, on such

12192410.2.TAX -19-


date, 312,500 Appendix II PSUs become Conditionally Earned Appendix II PSUs ($10,000,000/$32.00), and the remaining 4,157 Appendix II PSUs were forfeited with no consideration, compensation or other payments due to Recipient. The Conditionally Earned Appendix II PSUs are then immediately converted into their settlement amount, which equals $32.00 for each Conditionally Earned Appendix II PSU. Accordingly, the Maximum Appendix II Settlement Amount equals $10,000,000, subject to adjustment as described in Sections 4, 5, 7 and 9 of Appendix II.

The highest IBOP achieved for any Appendix II Performance Period is $19,000,000. Pursuant to Section 4 of Appendix II, the Appendix II Performance Requirements would be deemed satisfied for $9,500,000 ($5,000,000 + ($5,000,000 X (($19,000,000 - $10,000,000)/($20,000,000 - $10,000,000)). Accordingly, under Section 4 of Appendix II, the Maximum Appendix II Settlement Amount is reduced to $9,500,000, subject to adjustment as described in Sections 5, 7 and 9 of Appendix II.

The Initial Testing Period will include all Appendix II Performance Periods through the Appendix II Performance Period ending (but including) Q3 2018. Based on IBOP during the Appendix II Measurement Period, the recalculation of IBOP under Section 5(a) of Appendix II will apply. This is because following the achievement of the IBOP Minimum Hurdle during the Initial Testing Period, certain Appendix II Performance Periods had IBOP below the required 80% threshold. The first Appendix II Performance Period in the Initial Testing Period to be retested is Q3 2017 because IBOP in Q2 2018 is less than 80% of IBOP in Q3 2017.

Pursuant to Section 5(a) of Appendix II, IBOP for Q3 2017 would be adjusted to equal $13.75mm (($11mm/(.8 X $14mm)) X $14mm). IBOP for Q4 2017 would also be adjusted to this amount since it was the same as the original IBOP for Q3 2017.

IBOP will not be required to be adjusted under Section 5(a) of Appendix II for any other Appendix II Performance Periods in the Initial Testing Period because the 80% test is not met for any other Appendix II Performance Period in the Initial Testing Period.

Assuming that the Time-Based Requirements are met, the portion of the Maximum Appendix II Settlement Amount to be paid to the Recipient under Section 7(a) of Appendix II is calculated to equal what the Maximum Appendix II Settlement Amount would have been under Section 4 of Appendix II had the highest achieved IBOP during any Appendix II Performance Period equaled the highest achieved IBOP in the Initial Testing Period (determined after giving effect to all IBOP recalculations under Section 5(a) of Appendix II). Based on this, the portion of the Maximum Appendix II Settlement Amount to be paid to the Recipient under Section 7(a) of Appendix II equals $6,875,000 ($5,000,000 + ($5,000,000 X (($13,750,000 - $10,000,000) / ($20,000,000 - $10,000,000)))). Assuming that the Recipient remains employed by the Company or a Subsidiary through September 30, 2019, this amount would be paid to the Recipient within 30 days after September 30, 2019.

After the application of Section 5(a) of Appendix II, IBOP for the various Appendix II Performance Periods would be as follows:

Because the highest achieved IBOP occurred during the final four Appendix II Measurement Periods ($19mm), Section 5(b) of Appendix II may be applicable. Accordingly, it would be necessary to determinate the Subsequent Testing Periods and IBOP for each such Subsequent Testing Period. The Subsequent Testing Periods would be Q2 2019, Q3 2019, Q4 2019 and Q1 2020. IBOP for Q2 2019 is $17mm, IBOP for Q3 2019 is $15mm and assume that IBOP for Q4 2019 and Q1 2020 are both $19mm. Based on this, because IBOP during one of the Subsequent Testing Periods is less than 80% of IBOP during one of the final four Appendix II Performance Periods, IBOP during at least one of the final four Appendix II Performance Periods must be recalculated under Section 5(b) of Appendix II.

o
Based on the test set forth in Section 5(b) of Appendix II, IBOP for Q1 2019 would be recalculated to equal $18,750,000 (($15mm/(.8 X $19mm)) X $19mm).

o
IBOP will not be required to be adjusted for any other of the final four Appendix II Performance Periods.

o
Assuming that the Time-Based Requirements are met, the portion of the Maximum Appendix II Settlement Amount to be paid to the Recipient under Section 7(b) of Appendix II is calculated to equal the difference between (X) what the Maximum Appendix II Settlement Amount would have been under Section 4 of Appendix II had the highest achieved IBOP during any Appendix II Performance Period equaled the highest achieved IBOP during the final four Appendix II Performance Periods (determined after giving effect to all IBOP recalculations under Sections 5(a) and 5(b) of Appendix II), less (Y) the amount paid to the Recipient under Section 7(a) of Appendix II. Based on this, the amount determined under clause (X) equals $9,375,000 ($5,000,000 + ($5,000,000 X (($18,750,000 - $10,000,000) / ($20,000,000 - $10,000,000)))). Accordingly, the amount paid to the Recipient under Section 7(b) of Appendix II would equal $2,500,000 ($9,375,000 - $6,875,000). This amount would be paid to the Recipient within 60 days after the end of Q1 2020.

o
The portion of the Maximum Appendix II Settlement Amount not paid to the Recipient under Sections 7(a) or 7(b) of Appendix II ($125,000, which equals $9,500,000 less $9,375,000) would be forfeited.

Hypothetical 3

Assume the same facts as Hypothetical 2, except that no portion of the Appendix I Performance Requirements were satisfied during the Appendix I Measurement Period.



12192410.2.TAX -21-


In such case, the Maximum Appendix II Settlement amount would be $0.00 and no amounts would be paid to the Recipient under Appendix I or Appendix II.
