Subject to certain exceptions, 65% will vest subject to (x) Issuer's achievement of a specified perf. goal and (y) reporting person's continued performance of services for the Issuer. 35% will vest subject to (x) passage of a specified period of time and (y) reporting person's continued performance of services for the Issuer. With respect to the perf.-based RSUs, if the continued service requirement is satisfied and achievement of the perf. goal (x) exceeds 100% of target, the Issuer may issue additional vested shares of common stock in an amount that corresponds to the incremental percentage of the perf. goal achieved in excess of 100% of target or (y) is less than 100% of target, the reporting person will surrender to the Issuer shares of common stock in an amount that corresponds to the incremental percentage of the perf. goal achieved that is below 100% of target (i.e., shortfall).</footnote>
