Any such election is subject to such conditions or procedures as may be established by the Committee and may be subject to disapproval by the Committee. |

PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS
This Performance-Based Award will be based upon achievement of the Audited Adjusted EBITDA and the Total Stockholder Return (change in share price plus any dividends) from fiscal year 20X1 through fiscal year 20X3.
The Restricted Stock award will vest upon meeting the performance targets weighted fifty percent (50%) on the Company’s three-year cumulative Audited Adjusted EBITDA Target and fifty percent (50%) on the Company achieving the Total Stockholder Return Target. Vesting shall occur on the date the Compensation Committee certifies the attainment of the targets, if any, provided you are employed on such date.
The fiscal year 20X1 through fiscal year 20X3 cumulative three-year Audited Adjusted EBITDA Target is $__________.
The fiscal year 20X1 through fiscal year 20X3 cumulative three-year Total Stockholder Return Target is ____% (inclusive of dividends) calculated from the last trading day of fiscal year 20X0 of June XX, 20X0 with a closing price of $____.

The potential vesting of the Restricted Stock is based upon the Audited Adjusted EBITDA Target and the Total Stockholder Return Target shall operate independent of one another. The portion of the Restricted Stock that does not vest as a result of the failure to meet the targets shall be forfeited on the date the Compensation Committee certifies the attainment of the targets.
