Exhibit A: Revenue-Based RSUs
Except as may otherwise be provided herein, the Revenue-Based RSUs shall vest based on the achievement of Company revenues against the aggregate revenue target for the period beginning on [●] and ending on [●], as set forth herein. For purposes of this Exhibit A, “revenue” shall have the meaning given such term in the Board-approved budget for the fiscal year in which the Award is granted.
The Company aggregate revenue target for the [●] Revenue-Based PRSUs for the period beginning on [●] and ending on [●] is $[●], and the sliding scale used to determine payout achievement is as set forth in the table below:
[●] PRSU Plan – 3 Year Aggregate Revenue Target Sliding Scale: To the extent the Company’s revenue falls in between [●]% and [●]%, the percentage of Revenue-Based RSUs earned will be determined based on straight line interpolation calculated using a revenue target range between [●]% and [●]% and a funding range between [●]% and [●]%. For example, if [●]% of the revenue target is achieved, [●]% of the Revenue-Based RSUs will be earned. To the extent the Company’s revenue falls in between [●]% and [●]%, the percentage of Revenue-Based RSUs earned will be determined based on straight line interpolation calculated using a revenue target range between [●]% and [●]% and a funding range between [●]% and [●]%. For example, if [●]% of the revenue target is achieved, [●]% of the Revenue-Based RSUs will be earned. |

The Company’s TSR for the TSR Performance Period will be computed and then compared to the TSR of the companies in the Peer Group. A participant shall earn [●]%, [●]%, [●]%, [●]% or [●]% of the TSR-Based RSUs, as applicable, if the Company’s TSR for the Performance Period equals or exceeds the [●], [●], [●], [●] or [●]percentile, respectively, of the Peer Group, when ranked by TSR for the TSR Performance Period.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company’s TSR for the TSR Performance Period is negative, the maximum percentage of TSR-Based RSUs that may be earned is 100% regardless of the Company’s actual percentile ranking relative to the peer Group. TSR shall be determined in the customary manner based on the percentage increase in a company’s stock price (taking into account assumed immediate reinvestment of dividends) from the first day of the TSR Performance Period to the last day of the TSR Performance Period. For this purpose, a company’s stock price on the applicable date will be determined as the 30 calendar day average closing stock price ending on the applicable date (or the immediately preceding trading day if the applicable date is not a trading day), except as provided in Section 3(b) in the event of a Change in Control.
Companies in the Peer Group that are not publicly traded on the last day of the TSR Performance Period shall not be taken into account for TSR purposes (except that any such company that goes bankrupt will be deemed to have a negative 100% XXX).
