Performance Level TSR Rank
Adjustment
Multiplier
Threshold 0 - 25% 75%
Target 50% 100%
Maximum 75% and above 125%
If the Performance Level for TSR Rank falls between Threshold and Target, or between Target and Maximum, then the Adjustment Multiplier shall be the
sum of the Adjustment Multiplier in the schedule above for the lower such Performance Level plus the product of (i) the difference between the Adjustment
Multiplier in the schedule above for the greater and lower such Performance Levels and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount by which the
TSR Rank achieved exceeds the TSR Rank in the schedule above for the lower such Performance Level and the denominator of which is the difference
between TSR Ranks in the schedule above for the greater and lower of such Performance Levels. The Adjustment Multiplier for the TSR Rank shall never
exceed 125%. The product of the Base Percentage Performance Shares Earned and the Adjustment Multiplier shall be limited to a maximum of 200% and is
then multiplied by the grant amount to determine the number of Performance Shares earned.
(iv) Notification. As soon as practicable following the end of the Performance Cycle, the Participant shall be notified in writing of

subject to this Award that have not become vested pursuant to Section 3(b) prior to the date of the Participant's Termination shall be immediately forfeited
upon such Termination.
(b) This Section 4(b) applies only in the event that (I) a Change of Control has not occurred prior to November [ ], 2012, or (II) a
