Performance Vesting for Performance Shares:		The performance metric that will determine the number of Performance Shares you earn will be the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) over the performance period specified above relative to the Xxxxxxx 2000 index composite TSR (“Relative TSR”). The Company’s TSR is calculated by subtracting Beginnning Stock Price from Ending Stock Price (as each term is defined below) for the Performance Period, adding any dividends during the period, and then dividing the result by the Company’s Beginning Stock Price. “Beginning Stock Price” shall mean the average closing price of the Company’s common stock over the 20 consecutive trading days immediately prior to October 30, 2020. “Ending Stock Price” shall mean the average closing price of the Company’s common stock over the 20 consecutive trading days ending on October 31, 2023. The number of Performance Xxxxxx earned will be as follows: •100% plus or minus 0.5x the difference between the Company’s TSR and the Xxxxxxx 2000 index composite TSR •Payout is capped at 200% of the target number of Performance Shares •Payout is capped at 100% of the target number of Performance Shares if the Company’s absolute TSR over the Performance Period is negative Any Performance Shares that are earned based on performance will be earned on the date that the Administrator certifies the achievement of the applicable level of Relative TSR. Any Performance Shares that are not earned on such date shall be forfeited. Performance Xxxxxx earned on the basis of Relative TSR Performance remain subject to vesting based on continued service until the third anniversary of the Grant Date. If your employment or service with the Company and its Affiliates terminates (voluntarily or involuntarily) before the third anniversary of the Grant Date, all Performance Shares will be immediately and automatically forfeited.
Change of Control:		Upon a Change of Control, your Performance Shares will be treated in accordance with Section 19 of the Plan.
Settlement:		As soon as practicable after the third anniversary of the Grant Date (but no later than two-and-one-half months from the end of the fiscal year in which the Performance Shares vest), the Company will settle any earned Performance Shares by electing either to (i) issue in your name certificate(s) or make an appropriate book entry for a number of Shares equal to the number of Performance Shares that have vested or (ii) deliver an amount of cash equal to the Fair Market Value, determined as of the vesting date, of a number of Shares equal to the number of Performance Shares that have vested.
Rights as Stockholder:		You will not be deemed for any purposes to be a stockholder of the Company with respect to any of the Performance Shares unless and until Shares are issued to you upon settlement of this Award.

Tax Withholding:		You understand that you (and not the Company) shall be responsible for your own federal, state, local, or foreign tax liability and any of your other tax consequences that may arise as a result of this Award, and that you should rely solely on the determinations of your tax advisors or your own determinations, and not on any statements or representations by the Company or any of its agents with regard to all tax matters. To the extent that the receipt, vesting or settlement of the Performance Shares, or disposition of any Shares acquired under your Award results in income to you for national, federal, state, local, foreign, or other tax purposes, the Company may deduct (or require an Affiliate to deduct) from any payments of any kind otherwise due to you to satisfy such tax or other withholding obligations.

If an election is provided, the election must be made on or before the date as of which the amount of tax to be withheld is determined and otherwise as the Administrator requires. In any case, the Company and its Affiliates may defer making payment or delivery under this Award until such withholding obligations are paid.
