APPENDIX A
PERFORMANCE AND SERVICE CONDITIONS
(TSR)
The Company will be determined to satisfy the Target Price set forth in the table below during the Performance Period if the Average Trading Price of the Stock equals or exceeds the applicable Target Price. The Grantee will be determined to satisfy the Service Condition set forth in the table below opposite the Target Price if Grantee remains in Continuous Service for the period of time set forth below opposite such Target Price following the Grant Date. The percentage of Units set forth opposite a Target Price and the Service Condition related thereto shall vest if and only if both the Performance Condition and the Service Condition relating thereto have been achieved and satisfied.
The Performance Condition relating to a given Target Price is satisfied as soon as the Average Trading Price equals or exceeds the Target Price. The Average Trading Price is not required to be continuously satisfied through the Vesting Date.
Target Price | Service Condition (Continuous Service Following Grant Date | Percentage of Units Vested | ||||||
$15 | 1 Year | 10 | % | |||||
$20 | 1.5 Years | 20 | % | |||||
$25 | 2 Years | 20 | % | |||||
$30 | 2.5 Years | 20 | % | |||||
$35 | 3 Years | 20 | % | |||||
$40 | 4 Years | 10 | % |
The Target Prices and the related Service Conditions are cliff requirements, and Units will not be earned based upon achievement of Average Trading Prices between the various Target Prices or Continuous Service between the Service Condition periods.
For illustrative purposes, in the event Grantee remains in Continuous Service for 4 Years and the Target Price of $30 is satisfied on December 31 of Year 2 (but no greater Target Price is satisfied during the Performance Period), then Grantee became vested in 50% of the Units on December 31 of Year 2 and another 20% of the Units at the end of 2.5 Years. The remaining 30% of the Units shall be forfeited.
