The TSR for each period will be compared against the period of August 1, 2017 to September 15, 2017.&#160;&#160;The RSU award will be divided into four equal tranches, with one tranche assigned to each measurement period.&#160;</div>

In order to vest in 100% of the target number of RSUs, the Company's TSR must be at the 55th percentile of the NASDAQ Telecom Index for each measurement period.</div>
