If Participant terminates from the Company and its Affiliates or ceases to be a member acting in an employee role for any reason other than death or disability as provided in (a) above, the unvested Cash Award granted hereunder then held by Participant shall be automatically forfeited upon such termination, unless the Committee, in its discretion, waives, in whole or in part, such forfeiture. |

Schedule A
The components outlined in the schedule below represent the total award.
The Service Tranche will vest and become payable on the Vesting Date. The Service Tranche Payout Value at the Vesting Date will be equal to the Cash Award of the Service Tranche.
The Performance Tranche will vest and become payable on the Vesting Date. The Performance Tranche Payout Value on Vesting Date will be calculated according to the following formula: Performance Tranche Payout Value = Performance Tranche x Weighted Achievement x Unit Appreciation Multiplier (UAM).
1 Weighted Achievement is the sum of the product of performance metric achievement times weighting. Achievement is calculated based on 4th Quarter 2020 performance results. Achievements between 50% and 100% and between 100% and 200% shall be linearly interpolated. 2 Available Cash per Unit shall be calculated on a fully diluted basis by counting all outstanding convertible preferred units as if converted. 3 Leverage shall be calculated as presented in the partnerships quarterly earnings release. 4 Safety is Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR). 5 AGR equals the percentage determined by dividing (i) the difference between the Fair Market Value on Vesting Date and the Fair Market Value on Grant Date by (ii) the Fair Market Value on Grant Date. Fair Market Value on Grant Date is $19.8515. 6 The UAM shall be linearly interpolated for AGR percentages between those shown above. | ||
