CHANGE IN CONTROL ADJUSTMENTS. If a Change in Control occurs during the Performance Period, then the Performance Period will be shortened to end on a date, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, that occurs no earlier than ten (10) business days prior to the Change in Control and no later than the date of the Change in Control (but prior to the completion of the Change in Control). Upon completion of the shortened Performance Period, and if any Restricted Stock Units have not yet become Eligible Units, then on or before the date of the Change in Control (but prior to the completion of the Change in Control), the Administrator will make a final measurement of the Stock Price performance against the Stock Price Hurdles, which measurement will be based on a Stock Price determined as the amount of any cash consideration and value of any other consideration to be paid to holders of Common Stock in connection with the Change in Control, as determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion (the “CIC Measurement”). Upon the CIC Measurement, if none of the Restricted Stock Units have become Eligible Units with respect to the shortened Performance Period (including on any previous Certification Dates), then a total of twenty percent (20%) of the Target Number of Restricted Stock Units will become Eligible Units. Any Restricted Stock Units that have not become Eligible Units upon the CIC Measurement will be forfeited immediately (without regard to whether any awards will be assumed or substituted for in connection with the Change in Control) and Participant will have no further rights with respect to those Restricted Stock Units or any of the underlying Shares.

Upon completion of the shortened Performance Period, and on or before the Closing (but prior to the Closing), the Administrator will make a final measurement of the Stock Price performance against the Stock Price Hurdles in accordance with the terms of this Award Agreement. For purposes of this final measurement, “Stock Price” will mean the amount of any cash consideration and value of any other consideration to be paid to holders of Common Stock in connection with the Change in Control, as determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion (such price, the “CIC Price”, such measurement, the “CIC Measurement” and the date of such CIC Measurement, the “CIC Measurement Date”). Any Restricted Stock Units that become Eligible Units upon the CIC Measurement Date will vest in accordance with the vesting schedule below. Any Restricted Stock Units that have not become Eligible Units upon the CIC Measurement Date will be forfeited immediately, but contingent upon the Closing (without regard to whether any awards will be assumed or substituted for in connection with a Change in Control) and Participant will have no further rights with respect to those Restricted Stock Units or any of the underlying Shares. For purposes of clarification, in the event a definitive agreement to which a Change in Control would otherwise become effective is executed, but the definitive agreement is later terminated and the transactions contemplated by the agreement are not consummated, then this Award will continue in effect in accordance with its terms without adjustment and Participant will not be entitled to any consideration under this Award Agreement as a result of the termination of the definitive agreement.
