Exhibit A

1.  Normal Vesting of Restricted Stock.

(a) The Total Earned Amount of the shares of Restricted Stock, if any, for the Performance Period shall be based on relative TSR, as set forth in Sections 2 and 3 of this Exhibit A.

(b) Subject to Section 2 of this Exhibit A, provided the Participant has not undergone a Termination on or prior to the last day of the Performance Period, a number of shares of Restricted Stock equal to the Total Earned Amount (as calculated below) shall vest and the restrictions on such shares of Restricted Stock shall lapse on the date on which the Committee certifies the achievement of the applicable performance targets set forth herein, which shall occur no later than sixty (60) days following the end of the Performance Period (the “Regular Vesting Date”).  Any remaining shares of Restricted Stock that do not vest in accordance with the preceding sentence shall immediately be forfeited to the Company by the Participant for no consideration therefor on the Regular Vesting Date.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in Section 9(c)(ii) of the Plan to the contrary, the following provisions shall apply in the event that the Participant undergoes a Termination as a result of such Participant’s death or Disability.

(i) If a Participant undergoes a Termination as a result of such Participant’s death prior to the Regular Vesting Date, then on the date of Termination, such Participant shall vest in the number of shares of Restricted Stock equal to the Target Number of Shares of Restricted Stock, and any remaining shares of unvested Restricted Stock that do not vest in accordance with the foregoing shall immediately be forfeited to the Company by the Participant for no consideration therefor on the date of Termination.

(ii) If a Participant undergoes a Termination as a result of such Participant’s Disability prior to the Regular Vesting Date, then on the Regular Vesting Date, such Participant shall vest in a number of shares of Restricted Stock equal to the Total Earned Amount, calculated as of the Regular Vesting Date, and any remaining shares of unvested Restricted Stock that do not vest in accordance with the foregoing shall immediately be forfeited to the Company by the Participant for no consideration therefor on the Regular Vesting Date.

2.  Calculating Relative TSR.  The Committee shall determine relative TSR in its sole discretion and no shares of Restricted Stock shall vest, and the restrictions on such shares of Restricted Stock shall not lapse, until the Committee certifies such relative TSR performance, pursuant to Section 1(b) of this Exhibit A.  Relative TSR shall be calculated and the relative comparison, expressed in terms of relative percentile ranking shall be applied to the S&P MidCap 400 Index; provided, that only companies in the S&P MidCap 400 Index that are public throughout the entire Performance Period shall be included for purposes of calculating relative TSR.  For purposes of calculating relative TSR, the Company’s TSR performance shall be expressed as a percentage (rounded to the nearest tenth of a percentage (0.1%)), in the value per share of Common Stock during the Performance Period due to the appreciation in the price per share of Common Stock.  

3.  Calculating Total Earned Amount.  The resulting value of the shares of Restricted Stock that shall vest, subject to the Committee’s certification of the Company’s achievement as set forth in Sections 1(b) and 2 of this Exhibit A based on actual performance of the Company during the Performance Period, as calculated by the tables set forth below in this Section 3 shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Total Earned Amount”.

The total number of shares of Restricted Stock that shall vest based on the achievement of relative TSR performance levels, subject to the Committee’s certification of the Company’s achievement of relative TSR as set forth in Section 2(b) of this Exhibit A, shall equal the product of (i) the Target Number of Shares of Restricted Stock multiplied by (ii) the Applicable Percentage, as determined in the below table:

4.  Treatment of Shares of Restricted Stock Upon a Change in Control.

(a) Notwithstanding Section 1 of this Exhibit A, in the event of a Change in Control, the shares of Restricted Stock shall be converted, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, as follows (such converted shares, the “Converted Restricted Stock”):

(i) In the event of a Change in Control prior to the date that is eighteen (18) months following the first day of the Performance Period, the number of shares of Converted Restricted Stock shall equal the Target Number of Shares of Restricted Stock as set forth in the Grant Notice, which shall vest in full on July 1, 2023; provided that the Participant has not undergone a Termination on or before such date.

(ii) In the event of a Change in Control on or after the date that is eighteen (18) months following the first day of the Performance Period, and the performance from the first day of the Performance Period through the consummation of the Change in Control is measurable, in the sole discretion of the Committee, the number of shares of Converted Restricted Stock shall equal the Total Earned Amount determined on the date of such Change in Control, with the applicable performance targets being measured as if the last day of the Performance Period was the date of the Change in Control; provided, however, that if the performance from the first day of the Performance Period through the consummation of the Change in Control is unable to be measured for any reason, in the sole discretion of the Committee, then the number of shares of Converted Restricted Stock shall equal the Target Number of Shares of Restricted Stock as set forth in the Grant Notice.  The Converted Restricted Stock, as determined by this Section 4(a)(ii) shall vest in full on July 1, 2023; provided that the Participant has not undergone a Termination on or before such date.

(b) In the event of a Change in Control prior to the Regular Vesting Date, the Participant shall fully vest in such Participant’s Converted Restricted Stock if either: (i) the shares of Restricted Stock are (x) continued, converted, assumed, or replaced by the Company, a member of the Company Group or a successor entity thereto and (y) on or within eighteen (18) months following such Change in Control such Participant undergoes a Termination by the Service Recipient without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason or (ii) the shares of Restricted Stock are not continued, converted, assumed, or replaced by the Company, a member of the Company Group or a successor entity thereto.
