Time Vesting Subject to Sections 5(b) and 6 below, the RSUs will vest and become nonforfeitable in accordance with and subject to the vesting schedule set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, subject to the Participant’s continued status as a Service Provider on the applicable vesting date.
Performance Measure The number of Performance Shares earned at the end of the three-year Performance Period will vary depending on the degree to which cumulative adjusted earnings per share performance goals for the Performance Period, as established by the Committee, are met.
Performance Condition Notwithstanding the vesting schedule stated in the Award Notification, your Restricted Stock Units shall not vest unless the Company achieves positive Adjusted Net Earnings in any fiscal year during the term of the Award. “Adjusted Net Earnings” means net earnings determined in accordance with GAAP as publicly reported by the Company for a fiscal year, adjusted to eliminate the following: (1) the cumulative effect of changes in GAAP; (2) gains and losses from discontinued operations; (3) extraordinary gains or losses; and (4) any other unusual or nonrecurring gains or losses which are separately identified and quantified, including merger related charges.
Service Vesting Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3, the Restricted Shares will be forfeited as to the unvested portion of the Award if the Participant does not remain continuously in the employment of the Company through the specified lapsing dates set forth in Section 2 above.
Performance-Based Vesting At the end of each Measurement Year, on the Measurement Date, the percentage of Shares set forth above shall be eligible to vest (the "Eligible Shares"). On each Measurement Date, 50% of the Eligible Shares shall become Vested Shares if at least 90% of the Target EBITDA amount was met for the prior Measurement Year. If more than 90% of the Target EBITDA amount was met for the prior Measurement Year, then the Eligible Shares shall become Vested Shares on a straight line basis such that an additional 5% of Eligible Shares shall become Vested Shares for each 1% that actual Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA exceeds 90% of the Target EBITDA amount.
