(the “Plan”), awarded to the Participant effective June 3, 2019 (the “Award Date”), and subject to the following terms and conditions:
1.Relationship to Plan. This 2019 Performance Award is subject to all of the terms, conditions and provisions of the Plan and administrative interpretations thereunder, if any, which have been adopted by the Committee thereunder and are in effect on the date hereof. Except as defined or otherwise specifically provided herein, capitalized terms shall have the same meanings ascribed to them under the Plan.
2.Determination of Final Value of Performance Units. Pursuant to, and subject to, the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Participant the Performance Units as set forth above, with an initial notional value of $100, which assumes achievement of the target level of performance (“Target”) as described on the “2019 Performance Award: Goals and Measures” attached hereto as Schedule I (the “Goals and Measures”); provided that, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the final value (if any) of Performance Units (which may range from $0 to $200 per unit), shall be determined based on the actual results for the period beginning on January 1, 2019 and ending on December 31, 2021 (the “Performance Period”) in accordance with the performance criteria set forth in the Goals and Measures. The Participant’s rights with respect to the Performance Units shall be forfeitable until the Performance Units vest in accordance with Paragraph 3.
3.Vesting. The Performance Units shall become vested as follows:

(d)Change of Control with Termination. Notwithstanding subparagraph (c) above, if a Change of Control occurs prior to the Scheduled Vesting Date and the Participant’s Service is terminated on or after the Change of Control (i) by the Company or any successor to the Company for any reason or (ii) by the Participant for Good Reason, then the Performance Units shall vest as of such termination date and the final value of each Performance Unit shall be equal to the Target value.

(xiv)“Total Shareholder Return” or “TSR” means a fraction, the numerator of which is the Ending Price plus Dividends minus the Beginning Price, and the denominator of which is the Beginning Price.
II. Calculation of Performance Unit Final Value
Cumulative Adjusted EBITDA. The Cumulative Adjusted EBITDA attainment level shall be determined as follows:
Threshold Level: $384 million
Target Level: $480 million
Maximum Level: $720 million
Cumulative Adjusted EBITDA shall be weighted eighty percent (80%) in the calculation of the Final Value and shall contribute to the Final Value as follows:
Cumulative Adjusted EBITDA (80% of Final Value) | |||
Goal | Payout | Contribution Value | |
Threshold | $384 MM | 50% | $40 |
Target | $480 MM | 100% | $80 |
Maximum | $720 MM | 200% | $160 |
Relative TSR. The Total Shareholder Return of the Company and of the Comparison Companies shall be calculated and certified by the Committee. The percentile ranking of the Company’s Total Shareholder Return as compared to the Total Shareholder Return of each Comparison Company shall determine the Final Value for relative TSR as follows:
Threshold Level: 30th Percentile
Target Level: 50th Percentile
Maximum Level: Above 90th Percentile
If, during the Performance Period, any Comparison Company declares bankruptcy or initiates (or becomes subject to) a similar proceeding as a debtor due to insolvency, then, for the purposes of ranking the Comparison Companies and the Company, such Comparison Company shall be ranked last. If, during the Performance Period, any Comparison Company is party to a merger, acquisition or disposition and such event, in the Committee’s determination, has significantly altered the Comparison Company, then the Committee may in its discretion remove the Comparison Company from the relative TSR calculation; provided, however, that no additional company shall be
Exhibit 10.2 Page 9
substituted. Regardless of the actual Final Value determined in accordance with this Schedule I, if the Company’s Total Shareholder Return during the Performance Period is negative, the relative TSR shall not exceed the target level.
Relative TSR shall be weighted twenty percent (20%) in the calculation of the Final Value and shall contribute to the Final Value as follows:
Relative TSR (20% of Final Value) | |||
Goal | Payout | Contribution Value | |
Threshold | 30th percentile | 50% | $10 |
Target | 50th percentile | 100% | $20 |
Maximum | Above 90th percentile | 200% | $40 |
Final Value. The aggregate value of Performance Units that shall vest as of the Scheduled Vesting Date shall be equal to the product of (i) the number of Performance Units, multiplied by (ii) the Final Value. The Final Value shall be equal to the sum of the contribution value attributed to the level achieved for each of Cumulative Adjusted EBITDA and relative TSR. In no event shall the Final Value exceed $200 per Performance Unit. If the performance ranking is below threshold for both Cumulative Adjusted EBITDA and relative TSR, the Final Value shall be zero. The Final Value shall be determined in accordance with the tables above for each of Cumulative Adjusted EBITDA and relative TSR with interpolation between the specified levels.
