All adjustments made to Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA will be consistent with adjustments made to xxxxxxxxx.xxx Incorporated’s publicly disclosed “pro forma” EBITDA, except for those adjustments made in connection with an acquisition of a business or the disposition of a business or a segment of a business, which, in the Committee’s discretion, may not be consistent with adjustments made to xxxxxxxxx.xxx Incorporated’s publicly disclosed “pro forma” EBITDA.

[***] = CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED FOR REDACTED PORTION; REDACTED PORTION HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION.

Cumulative Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA falls (set forth in the table in Section 1(p) above), divided by (2) the result of a fraction, the numerator of which is the difference between the lowest and highest Cumulative Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA in the range of numbers in which the actual Cumulative Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA falls (set forth in the table in Section 1(p) above), and the denominator of which is the difference between the lowest and highest applicable Vesting Factor in the applicable Vesting Factor Range (set forth in the table in Section 1(p) above). All shares of Stock to be issued to the Participant under this Section 3(a), if any, shall be issued to the Participant as soon as practicable after the Determination Date but in no event later than March 15, 2011. If the Participant becomes entitled to any shares of Stock under this Section 3(a), he or she shall not be entitled to receive any shares of Stock under any other subsection of this Section 3.

(b) Termination for Cause.

Subject to Section 3(e), if, on or prior to December 31, 2008, the Participant’s Continuous Service is terminated by the Company other than for Cause or by the Participant on account of Good Reason, death or Disability, then the Participant (or the Participant’s designated beneficiary in the event of the Participant’s death) shall receive a number of shares of Stock equal to the Target Amount, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months completed since January 1, 2008 as of the date of such termination, and the denominator of which is 36. Subject to Section 3(k), all shares of Stock to be issued to the Participant under this Section 3(c), if any, shall be issued to the Participant (or the Participant’s designated beneficiary in the event of the Participant’s death) as soon as practicable after the Participant’s Continuous Service is terminated but in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant’s Continuous Service is terminated.

(d) Post-2008 Termination Without a Change in Control. Subject to Section 3(f), if, after December 31, 2008, but prior to the Determination Date and prior to a Change in Control, the Participant’s Continuous Service is terminated by the Company other than for Cause or by the Participant on account of Good Reason, death or Disability, then the Participant’s Performance Share Unit number shall be determined (or that of the Participant’s designated beneficiary in the event of the Participant’s death) in accordance with Exhibit 1, and the Participant shall at the time of such termination be vested in a number of shares of Stock determined by the product of (i) such Performance Share Unit number, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the lesser of 36 or the number of full months completed since January 1, 2008 as of the date of such termination, and the denominator of which is 36. Subject to Section 3(k), all shares of Stock to be issued to the Participant under this Section 3(d), if any, shall be issued to the Participant (or the Participant’s designated beneficiary in the event of the Participant’s death) as soon as practicable after the Participant’s Continuous Service is terminated but in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant’s Continuous Service is terminated (or, if the Participant’s Continuous Service is terminated on or after January 1, 2011, March 15, 2011).

entitled to any shares of Stock under this Section 3(d), he or she shall not be entitled to receive any shares of Stock under any other subsection of this Section 3.

(e) Pre-2009 Change in Control Without Termination.

(f) Post-2008 Change in Control Without Termination. If there is a Change in Control after December 31, 2008, but prior to the Determination Date, and the Participant remains in Continuous Service through the Six-Month Date, then the Participant’s Performance Share Unit number shall be determined in accordance with Exhibit 1, and the Participant shall, on such Six-Month Date, be vested in a number of shares of Stock determined by the product of (i) such Performance Share Unit number, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the lesser of 36 and the number of full months completed since January 1, 2008 as of the date of the Six-Month Date, and the denominator of which is 36. Thereafter, the Participant shall become vested as of the Determination Date in a number of shares of Stock equal to the product of the Target Amount, multiplied by the fraction resulting from one (1) minus the fraction set forth in Section 3(f)(ii) of this paragraph, provided that, in the event that the Participant’s Continuous Service is terminated prior to the Determination Date by the Company other than for Cause or by the Participant on account of Good Reason, death or Disability, the Participant shall be vested in a number of shares of Stock equal to the Target Amount, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months that have been completed during the period commencing on the Six-Month Date and ending on the date of such termination, and the denominator of which is the number of full months during the period commencing on the Six-Month Date and ending December 31, 2010. All shares of Stock to be issued to the Participant under this Section 3(f), if any, shall be issued to the Participant (A) subject to Section 3(k), as soon as practicable after the Participant’s Continuous Service is terminated, or (B) as soon as practicable after the Determination Date, but in either such case, in no event later than March 15, 2011, whichever occurs earlier.

by the Company other than for Cause or by the Participant on account of Good Reason, death or Disability during the Change in Control Period, then the Participant (or the Participant’s designated beneficiary in the event of the Participant’s death) shall receive a number of shares of Stock equal to the Target Amount, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months completed since January 1, 2008 as of the date of such termination, and the denominator of which is 36. Subject to Section 3(k), all shares of Stock to be issued to the Participant under this Section 3(g), if any, shall be issued to the Participant (or the Participant’s designated beneficiary in the event of the Participant’s death) as soon as practicable after the Participant’s Continuous Service is terminated but in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant’s Continuous Service is terminated.

[***] = CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED FOR REDACTED PORTION; REDACTED PORTION HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION.

to result in a Change in Control; provided, however, that if such Person subsequently becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of additional Company Voting Securities that increases the percentage of outstanding Company Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by such Person to a percentage equal to or greater than 35, a Change in Control of the Company shall then be deemed to occur.

The Performance Share Unit number shall be determined in accordance with the following chart if, prior to January 1, 2011, the Six-Month Date occurs or the Participant’s Continuous Service terminates. If the Six-Month Date occurs or the Participant’s Continuous Service terminates on or after January 1, 2011, the Performance Share Unit number shall be determined in accordance with the table in Section 1(p) hereof. Upon any date of determination before January 1, 2011 as set forth in the Agreement, the Participant’s Performance Share Unit number shall be determined as of the most recently completed fiscal quarter for the period commencing January 1, 2008. Such Performance Share Unit number shall be equal to the product of (1) the Target Amount, multiplied by either (2)(a) the sole Mid-Period Vesting Factor under the column with the heading “Mid-Period Vesting Factor Ranges” in the chart below corresponding to the actual Cumulative Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA per applicable quarter for which the determination is made or (b) the sum of (i) the lowest Mid-Period Vesting Factor in the applicable Mid-Period Vesting Factor Range corresponding to the actual Cumulative Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA per applicable quarter for which the determination is made, plus (ii) the ProRata Mid-Period Vesting Factor Increase.

All amounts are in millions of U.S. dollars.
