2016 Long-Term Management Incentive Plan


2017 Terms and Conditions to the Performance Share Units Certificate
ARTICLE I
TERMS OF PERFORMANCE SHARE UNITS
Section 1.1    Grant of Performance Share Units.  The Performance Share Units (the “Performance Share Units”) awarded to a Participant are subject to (i) the Performance Share Units Certificate (the “Certificate”), (ii) the terms and conditions contained herein and (iii) the 2016 Long-Term Management Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), the provisions of which are hereby incorporated by reference.  A copy of the Plan and the Prospectus dated May 18, 2016 are being provided simultaneously on-line or attached hereto.  Capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Performance Share Units Certificate or the Plan.  Performance Share Units are notional units of measurement and represent the right to receive a number of shares of Class B Common Stock determined on the basis of the performance of the Class B Common Stock in comparison to the performance of the common stock of companies comprising the Reference Group, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Certificate.
Section 1.2    Terms of Performance Share Units.  
(a)    Valuation.  As of the Determination Date, the TSR of the Class B Common Stock over the relevant Measurement Period will be measured against the TSR of the common stock of the companies comprising the Reference Group over the relevant Measurement Period.  The percentile ranking of the TSR of the Class B Common Stock as compared to the common stock of the companies comprising the Reference Group will be used to calculate the number of shares of Class B Common Stock that the Participant will receive, in accordance with the following schedule (the “Schedule”):
	
	
	Schedule

	•   If the Company achieves less than the 25th percentile TSR, the award of Performance Share Units will be forfeited

	•   If the Company achieves the 25th percentile TSR, the number of shares to be delivered under the award will be 25% of the Target Award

	•   If the Company achieves the 50th percentile TSR, the number of shares to be delivered under the award will be 100% of the Target Award

	•   If the Company achieves the 100th percentile TSR (that is, if it is the first ranked company in the Reference Group for TSR), the number of shares to be delivered under the award will be 200% of the Target Award













For Company achievement at an intermediate points between the 25th and 50th percentile, or between the 50th percentile and the 100th percentile, the number of shares of Class B Common Stock to be delivered will be interpolated between the respective number of shares delivered at such percentiles.  For example, if the Company were to achieve the 70th percentile TSR, the number of Shares to be delivered would be 140% of the Target Award.
(b)    Settlement and Delivery of Shares.  Shares delivered in settlement of the Performance Share Units will be delivered, net of any Shares withheld for Taxes pursuant to Section 4.3, no later than four (4) weeks following the Determination Date. 
(c)    Transfer Restriction on Delivered Shares.   Shares delivered in settlement of the Performance Share Units, net of any Shares withheld for Taxes pursuant to Section 4.3, shall not be transferable by the Participant, except by will, the laws of descent and distribution or beneficiary designation for a 6-month period beginning on the Determination Date; provided that the Committee may permit other transferability, subject to any conditions and limitations that it may, in its sole discretion, impose.
(d)    Termination of Employment.
(1)    In the event the Participant’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary terminates in a Qualifying Termination prior to December 31, 2019, the number of shares of Class B Common Stock that the Participant will receive for the applicable Measurement Period will be determined by multiplying the shares of Class B Common Stock determined under the valuation criteria under Section 1.2(a) by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days starting with and inclusive of January 1, 2017 and ending on the applicable Determination Date and the denominator of which is the number of days starting with and inclusive of January 1, 2017 and ending on December 31, 2019. 
(2)    In the event the Participant’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary terminates for any reason other than a Qualifying Termination, the Participant shall forfeit all unvested Performance Share Units as of the date of such event.
ARTICLE II
EFFECT OF CERTAIN CORPORATE CHANGES
In the event of a merger, consolidation, stock split, reverse stock split, dividend, distribution, combination, reclassification, reorganization, split-up, spin-off or recapitalization that changes the character or amount of the Class B Common Stock or any other changes in the corporate structure, equity securities or capital structure of the Company, the Committee shall make such adjustments, if any, to the number and kind of securities subject to the Performance Share Units, as it deems appropriate. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, also make such other adjustments as it deems appropriate in order to preserve the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available hereunder.  Such determinations by the Committee shall be conclusive and binding on all persons for all purposes.

The rights of the Participant with respect to the Performance Share Units shall not be transferable by the Participant, except by will, the laws of descent and distribution or beneficiary designation; provided that the Committee may permit other transferability, subject to any conditions and limitations that it may, in its sole discretion, impose.  
Section 4.3    Taxes.  The Company or a Subsidiary, as appropriate, shall be entitled to withhold from any payment made to the Participant, a Participant’s estate or any permitted transferee or beneficiary an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state, local and/or other tax withholding requirement or satisfy required tax withholding in respect of the delivery of shares of Class B Common Stock upon settlement of Performance Shares Units by having the Company withhold from such delivery shares of Class B Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such required withholding.
Section 4.4    Stockholder Rights.  The grant of Performance Share Units under the Certificate shall not entitle the Participant or a Participant’s estate, any permitted transferee or beneficiary to any rights of a holder of shares of Class B Common Stock, other than when and until the Participant, the Participant’s estate, the permitted transferee or beneficiary is registered on the books and records of the Company as a stockholder and shares are delivered to such party upon settlement of the Performance Share Units.  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its discretion, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or distributions or other rights in respect of any shares of Class B Common Stock for which the record date is prior to the date on which the Participant, a Participant’s estate or any permitted transferee shall become the holder of such shares of Class B Common Stock. 
Section 4.5    No Restriction on Right of Company to Effect Corporate Changes.  Neither the Plan nor the Certificate shall affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company's capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issue of stock or of options, warrants or rights to purchase stock or of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stocks whose rights are superior to or affect the Class B Common Stock or the rights thereof or which are convertible into or exchangeable for Class B Common Stock, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise. 
Section 4.6    Section 409A.  If any provision of the Certificate contravenes any regulations or Treasury guidance promulgated under Section 409A or could cause the Participant to be required to recognize income for United States federal income tax purposes with respect to any Performance Share Units before such Performance Share Units are settled or to be subject to any additional tax or interest under Section 409A, such provision of the Certificate may be modified to maintain, to the maximum extent practicable, the original intent of the applicable provision without the imposition of any additional tax or interest under Section 409A.  Moreover, any discretionary authority that the Board or the Committee may have pursuant to the Certificate shall not be applicable to Performance Share Units that are subject to Section 409A to the extent such discretionary authority will contravene Section 409A.


6

Section 4.8    Interpretation.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Certificate (including the definitions set forth herein) and those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan will control.  Additionally, in the event of a conflict or ambiguity between the provisions of the Certificate or the Plan and the provisions of any employment agreement that is in effect and applicable to the Participant with respect to the Performance Share Units, the provisions of such employment agreement shall be deemed controlling to the extent such provisions are consistent with the provisions of the Plan and are more favorable to the Participant than the provisions of the Certificate. 
Section 4.9    Breach of Covenants.  In the event that the Committee makes a good faith determination that the Participant committed a material breach of the restrictive covenants relating to non-competition, non-solicitation, confidential information or proprietary property in any employment or other agreement applicable to the Participant during the Participant’s employment or the one year period after termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary for any reason, (i) the Participant shall be required to return the shares of Class B Common Stock received by him or her in settlement of the Performance Share Units during the one year period prior to such breach or any time after such breach occurs, or, if the shares of Class B Common Stock received in settlement of the Performance Share Units within the one year period prior to such breach were sold by the Participant, return any proceeds realized on the sale of such shares of Class B Common Stock prior to such breach or any time after such breach occurs and (ii) any unvested Performance Share Units shall be forfeited.
