Participant: | ___________________ |
Date of Grant: | ___________________ |
Award Type and Description: | Other Stock-Based Award granted pursuant to Section 6(h) of the Plan that has been designated as a Performance Award under Section 6(k) of the Plan. This Award represents the right to receive shares of Stock in an amount up to 175% of the Target PSUs (defined below), subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Agreement. Your right to receive settlement of this Award in an amount ranging from 0% to 175% of the Target PSUs shall vest and become earned and nonforfeitable upon (i) your satisfaction of the continued employment or service requirements described below under “Service Requirement” and (ii) the Committee’s certification of the level of achievement of the Performance Goal (defined below). The portion of the Target PSUs actually earned upon satisfaction of the foregoing requirements is referred to herein as the “Earned PSUs.” |
Target Number of PSUs: | __________ (the “Target PSUs”). |
Performance Period: | January 1, 2021 (the “Performance Period Commencement Date”) through December 31, 2023 (the “Performance Period End Date”). |
Service Requirement: | Except as expressly provided in Sections 4 and 5 of the Agreement, you must remain continuously employed by, or continuously provide services to, the Company or an Affiliate, as applicable, from the Date of Grant through the Performance Period End Date to be eligible to receive payment of this Award, which is based on the level of achievement with respect to the Performance Goal (as defined below). |
Performance Goal: | Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan, the Agreement and herein, the number of Target PSUs, if any, that become Earned PSUs |
during the Performance Period will be determined based on the Company’s Average Return on Assets (as defined below) relative to the Average Return on Assets of the peer companies listed on Exhibit B hereto (the “Peer Group”) (the “Performance Goal”). The number of Target PSUs, if any, that become Earned PSUs during the Performance Period will be determined based on the following table: Ranking Among Peer Group Percentage of Target PSUs Earned* Outside of Top 10 0% Top 10 50% Top 7 100% Top 3 175% *The percentage of Target PSUs earned for a Ranking Among Peer Group that is between the values set forth in the table, excluding between the first and second rows of the table, shall be linearly interpolated between the values in the table. To determine the Company’s Ranking Among Peer Group, Average Return on Assets will be calculated for the Company and each entity in the Peer Group as of the Performance Period End Date. The entities in the Peer Group and the Company will be arranged by their respective Average Return on Assets (highest to lowest). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company’s Total Shareholder Return is negative, no Target PSUs will become Earned PSUs, regardless of the Company’s Ranking Among Peer Group. For purposes of this Award, the following definitions shall apply: “Adjusted Net Income” means the product obtained by multiplying: (A) the difference obtained from: (i) “Adjusted EBITDA” as publicly disclosed by the applicable company or, if not disclosed, “EBITDA” as publicly disclosed by such company, in each case adjusted in a manner consistent with adjustments included in the Company’s publicly disclosed Adjusted EBITDA during each year of the Performance Period; provided, however, that the adjustments contemplated above shall exclude certain items, including (x) any net non-cash gain or loss during such period arising from the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition of capital assets (such term to include all fixed assets and all securities) in the ordinary |
course of business, and (y) any write-up or write-down of tangible assets , less (ii) the sum of: (a) interest expense, plus (b) depreciation expense, by (B) 0.79. “Average Return on Assets” means the sum of the Return on Assets of the applicable entity during each year of the Performance Period, divided by 3. “Net Assets” means the applicable company’s average property and equipment, net, for each year during the Performance Period, plus average total current assets (other than cash and cash equivalents and current tax assets) for each year during the Performance Period, less average total current liabilities (other than current tax liabilities) for each year during the Performance Period, each as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or on a non-GAAP basis consistent with the Company’s practices (as determined by the Compensation Committee). “Return on Assets” means the percentage obtained by dividing (A) Adjusted Net Income by (B) Net Assets. “Total Shareholder Return” means the quotient obtained by dividing the sum of (i) the change in the Company’s Class A common stock price as quoted on the New York Stock Exchange (the “Stock Price”) from the first date of the Performance Period to the final date of the Performance Period (as the same may be adjusted as a result of any of any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split, reclassification, recapitalization, or other similar transaction or event) and (ii) the cumulative amount of any dividends paid over the course of the Performance Period, by the Stock Price on the first day of the Performance Period.
