(b) the average closing price per share of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market over a twenty consecutive trading day period  (i) during the period beginning on the date of grant and on or prior to January 31, 2019 is at least $30.30 (which is 20% above the closing price on the date of the Compensation Committee meeting, January 27, 2017 (the &quot;Reference Date&quot;) or (ii) if the stock price performance period in clause (b)(i) is not satisfied, during the period beginning subsequent to January 31, 2019 and ending on or prior to January 31, 2020 is at least $31.5625 (which is 25% above the closing price on the Reference Date)

(clauses (a) and (b) together, the &quot;Performance Conditions&quot;).


In addition, the right to receive shares of common stock  pursuant to the above-described restricted stock unit grants will become vested as to 50% of the shares on each of January 27, 2019 and January 27, 2020 (the &quot;Time Vesting Condition&quot;).

A grantee must remain employed by us or otherwise perform service for us  in order to receive shares of our common stock pursuant to the above-described restricted stock unit grants after both Performance Conditions have been satisfied. If both Performance Conditions are not satisfied within the above-described time periods, we will not issue any shares of common stock pursuant to the restricted stock unit grants. If both Performance Conditions are satisfied at any time during the above-referenced time periods, we will issue shares of common stock in respect of all annual installment periods of the Time Vesting Condition for which shares have not previously been issued.</footnote>
