Agreement, the MSUs shall vest with respect to the Applicable Percentage of the Target Number of MSU Shares set forth in the following table based on relative total stockholder return (&#147;TSR&#148;) for the Company over the Measurement Period as
compared to the total return (&#147;Return&#148;) for the Russell 2000 Index (the &#147;Index&#148;) as reported for total return (with dividends reinvested) by Russell Investments. For purposes of computing the relative TSR for the Company as
compared to the Return for the Index, dividends paid with respect to the Shares shall be treated as having been reinvested as of the ex-dividend date for each declared dividend, as further described below. TSR for the Company shall equal the
percentage change (positive or negative) of the &#147;Measurement Share Value&#148; (as defined below) as compared to the &#147;Base Share Value&#148; (as defined below). The Return for the Index shall equal the percentage change (positive or
