** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) This award is a cash-settled award based on certain performance criteria. In addition, after determining the portion of the performance units that will vest, the Compensation Committee of the Company may reduce the number of vested performance units, in its discretion, if the Company ranks below the 40th percentile on a Total Stockholder Return basis as compared to its Peer Group with the Total Stockholder Return based on the average of the closing prices on the principal market for each trading day for the month of September 2011 versus the month of August 2014.
(2) The PSU award will vest at 75% if certain goal criteria are met: (1) ROIC is positive for three-year performance period (9/1/2012-8/31/2015); and (2) the cumulative EBITDA target for each fiscal year in the performance period as submitted from Business Plan achieved against target. If a positive ROIC is not met, then regardless of EBITDA performance achieved, this portion (75%) will not vest. The remaining 25% will vest relative to TSR measured over three-year performance period for the Company against Performance Peer Group, the result will be used to determine vesting levels of this portion of the award.
(3) Stock Appreciation Rights vest one-half at the end of the second year from date of grant and one-half at the end of the third year from date of grant. These will expire after seven year from date of grant. These SARs will be settled 100% in stock.
