Exhibit 10.3
As an example, to compute the number of Units that will vest on the Certification Date, assume the following facts: (i) the number of RSUs awarded is 500; and (ii) the Company’s actual Cumulative Net Income for the Performance Period was half-way between the Threshold Goal and the Target Goal. Under these facts, the Performance Factor would be 75% (half-way between 50% and 100%), and the number of RSUs vesting on the Certification Date would be 375.
