2. Vesting, Performance Conditions and
Adjustment .
(a) Vesting . As soon as reasonably practicable after the
close of the Performance Period, the Compensation Committee of the
Company’s Board of Directors (the “ Committee
”) shall determine the vested percentage of the total number
of Restricted Stock Units granted, and upon such determination the
corresponding vested percentage of the total number of Restricted
Stock Units granted shall vest. Such percentage shall be calculated
pursuant to the following table:

The vested percentage
attributable to a TSR Percentile Rank between the 40 th
and 60 th percentiles, or between the 60 th
and 75 th percentiles, shall be determined by
straight-line interpolation. In no event shall any Restricted Stock
Units vest under this Section 2 after the Participant’s
termination of Service.
(b) TSR
Percentile Rank . The
term “TSR Percentile Rank” shall mean the
Company’s TSR for the Performance Period expressed as a
percentile rank relative to the TSR for the Performance Period of
all companies included in the NASDAQ 100 Index as of the close of
the Performance Period. The term “TSR” shall mean the
quotient of (i) the Average Price of the applicable issuer’s
Shares at the end of the Performance Period minus the Average Price
of such issuer’s Shares at the beginning of the Performance
Period plus any ordinary or extraordinary dividends paid by such
issuer during the Performance Period divided by (ii) the Average
Price of such issuer’s Shares at the beginning of the
Performance Period. TSR expressed as a formula shall be as
follows:
TSR = ( Average Price end −
Average Price begin + Dividends ) / Average Price
begin
“Average Price” shall
mean the average closing price over the 30 consecutive trading days
ending with (and including) the applicable day. In calculating TSR,
all dividends shall be assumed to have been reinvested in Shares
when paid.
(c) Committee Determination . The Committee shall determine the
Company’s TSR Percentile Rank, and its determination shall be
conclusive and binding on the Participant and the Company. The
Committee, at its sole discretion, may make appropriate adjustments
in the vesting conditions set forth in Subsection (a) above in
order to account for extraordinary events.
3. Change in Control .
(a) Acceleration of Vesting . The Restricted Stock Units subject to this
Award shall immediately vest if (i) the Company is subject to a
Change in Control before a Separation from Service occurs and (ii)
within 12 months after such Change in Control a Separation from
Service occurs because (A) the Participant’s Service is
terminated by the Company without Cause or (B) the Participant
resigns for Good Reason. The vested percentage of such Restricted
Stock Units shall be determined pursuant to Subsection (b)
below.
(b) Vested Percentage . If Subsection (a) above applies, the vested
percentage of the Restricted Stock Units shall be determined as
soon as reasonably practicable after the Separation from Service.
If the Change in Control occurred within 12 months after the Grant
Date set forth in Section 1 (the “ Grant Date
”), then the vested percentage of the Restricted Stock Units
shall be 100%. If the Change in Control occurred more than 12
months after the Grant Date, then the vested percentage of the
Restricted Stock Units shall be determined pursuant to Section 2 as
if the Performance Period had ended on the date of the Change in
Control. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of
the Company’s successor (the “ Successor
Committee ”) shall determine the Company’s TSR
Percentile Rank as of the date of the Change in Control, and its
determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Participant
and the Company’s successor. The Successor Committee, at its
sole discretion, may make appropriate adjustments in the vesting
conditions set forth in Section 2(a) above in order to account for
extraordinary events, including (without limitation) any effects
related to the Change in Control.
(c) Effect of Merger . In the event that the Company is a party to a
merger, consolidation or reorganization, the Restricted Stock Units
subject to this Award shall be subject to Section 16 of the Plan;
provided that any action taken pursuant to Section 16 of the Plan
shall either (i) preserve the exemption of this Award from Section
