3. The award represents shares of restricted stock which vest accordingly: if during the performance measurement period (beginning with the 12 months ended December 31, 2010 and ending with the 12 months ended December 31, 2014), the Company achieves a rate of return on average assets ("ROAA") of not less than 1% during any of those 12-month periods, then shares will begin to vest in 5 equal annual installments commencing on March 31, 2012. However, if the Company does not achieve an ROAA of not less than 1% by December 31, 2015, the performance requirement for vesting purposes will be that the Company must be ranked in the top quartile of the SNL index of thrifts nationwide with assets between $1 billion and $10 billion based on ROAA (the "SNL Index") for the 2014 fiscal year. In the event the Company is not in the top quartile of the SNL Index based on upon the Company's fiscal 2015 financial performance, then all shares subject to this award will be forfeited.
