EXHIBIT “A”
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PERFORMANCE UNITS
| 1. | Vesting Requirements. In addition to the continuous employment of Employee, the vesting of any awards on any Vesting Date shall be contingent upon the E-Commerce Division’s achievement of the EBITDA CAGR specified in Section 3 of this Exhibit. The vesting of any portion of the Award shall be subject to Committee Certification, as described in Section 6 of this Exhibit. |
| 2. | EBITDA. Except as provided in Section 2(f) of this Exhibit, “EBITDA” means the consolidated earnings of the E-Commerce Division before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses. EBITDA shall be calculated as if the E-Commerce Division was being operated as a separate and independent corporation and determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States or such other accounting principles that may be adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission and are or become applicable to the Company (“GAAP”) as consistently applied by the Company; provided, however, that in determining EBITDA: |
(a) EBITDA shall be computed without regard to “extraordinary items” of gain or loss as that term shall be defined in GAAP.
(b) EBITDA shall not include any gain or loss that exceeds $500,000 in a single transaction from either the deconsolidation of any subsidiary or the sale or write-off of (i) discontinued business operations (as defined in GAAP), (ii) any ownership interest in a subsidiary or other entity in which the Company or a subsidiary of the Company has an ownership interest of at least 10% before the transaction, or (iii) assets classified under GAAP as noncurrent assets (other than the noncurrent portion of any loans to customers).
(c) EBITDA for any period shall be increased by Capital Charges income earned and reduced by Capital Charges expense accrued. “Capital Charges” means the interest charges calculated on a monthly basis for amounts advanced between the Company or its affiliates and the E-Commerce Division, including amounts advanced for working capital, investments or capital improvements (including investments in other businesses through acquisitions or debt/equity investments, and specifically including all amounts advanced for use as acquisition consideration for the purchase of the Debit Plus, LLC business – including past and future earn-out payments, but excluding all amounts advanced for use as acquisition consideration for the purchase of The Check Giant’s business – including past earn-out payments), with the interest rate being the rate per annum published two business days before the beginning of the month as the London interbank offered rate for deposits in Dollars (“LIBOR”) for a one month term plus 4.5 percentage points. Such interest rate shall be rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next higher 1/16th of one percentage point. For purposes of illustration, the interest rate used to calculate Capital Charges for the Month of May shall be determined using the one-month LIBOR rate published on the second-to-last business day of April. Interest for a month shall be calculated on a basis of a 360 day year and the actual number of days in the month, and shall be computed on the average balance of advances outstanding at the beginning and end of the month. Any promissory notes or other obligations issued or assigned in payment of dividends or other capital distributions are not considered “amounts advanced.”
(d) EBITDA shall not include the corporate administrative overhead allocation, if any, that is charged to the E-Commerce Division by the Company or its Affiliates other than Affiliates included in the E-Commerce Division or any outside accounting, legal, consulting, underwriting or other fees or other out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Company or the E-Commerce Division solely on account of a proposed or completed Enova Public Offering.
(e) For purposes of calculating EBITDA, income taxes shall mean only federal, state, local and foreign taxes on the income of the E-Commerce Division and shall not include (i) any other tax, charge, fee, duty (including customs duty), levy or assessment, including any ad valorem, turnover, real and personal property (tangible and intangible), sales, use, franchise (other than franchise taxes based on income), excise, value added, stamp, leasing, lease, user, transfer, fuel, excess profits, windfall profits, occupational, premium, interest equalization, severance, license, registration, payroll, environmental (including taxes under Code Section 59A), capital stock, capital duty, disability, gains, wealth, welfare, employee’s income withholding, other withholding, unemployment and social security or other tax of whatever kind (including any fee, assessment and other charges in the nature of or in lieu of any tax) that is imposed by any governmental authority, (ii) any interest, fines, penalties or additions resulting from, attributable to, or incurred in connection with any items described in this paragraph or any related contest or dispute and (iii) any items described in this paragraph that are attributable to another person but that the owner of the E-Commerce Division is liable to pay by law, by contract or otherwise, whether or not disputed.
(f) EBITDA for calendar year 2012 (“2012 EBITDA”) shall be $139,194,741.
| 3. | CAGR Threshold for Vesting and Payment. The portion of the Award that will vest and be payable (subject to Committee Certification, as described below) shall be subject to the continuous employment of Employee by the Company or its Affiliates through the applicable Vesting Date (or in the case of the Termination Vesting Date, through the last day preceding such Termination Vesting Date) and shall be determined as follows: |
(a) The E-Commerce Division must achieve an EBITDA CAGR of at least [**Confidential Treatment Requested] from December 31, 2012 through December 31 of the year immediately preceding the First Vesting Date, Second Vesting Date or the Final Vesting Date, as applicable, in order for any portion of the Award to vest on the First Vesting Date, Second Vesting Date or the Final Vesting Date, respectively, and become payable. Except as provided in Section 3(c) of this Exhibit, the E-Commerce Division must achieve an EBITDA CAGR of at least [**Confidential Treatment Requested] from December 31, 2012 through December 31, 2015 in order for any portion of the Award to vest on the Termination Vesting Date and become payable.
(b) If the E-Commerce Division achieves an EBITDA CAGR of at least of [**Confidential Treatment Requested] over the period from December 31, 2012 through December 31 of the year immediately preceding the First Vesting Date, Second Vesting Date or the Final Vesting Date, as applicable, then a portion of the Award will vest on the First Vesting Date, Second Vesting Date or the Final Vesting Date, respectively, in accordance with Section 2 of the Agreement, subject to Section 5(c) of the Agreement. If the E-Commerce Division achieves an EBITDA CAGR of at least [**Confidential Treatment Requested] over the period
[**Confidential Treatment Requested] indicates that portions of this document have been omitted and have been separately filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
A-2
from December 31, 2012 through December 31, 2015, then the Performance Units that (i) are scheduled to vest on the Termination Vesting Date and (ii) have a Third Vesting Date Unit Value will vest in accordance with Section 2 of the Agreement, subject to section 5(c) of the Agreement.
(c) Performance Units Having a CIC Unit Value or Enova Offering Event Unit Value.
