 EXHIBIT 2 

 
  

Executive may earn an additional percentage of Executive’s base salary based on three components: (i) the Company attaining specified adjusted
revenue targets; (ii) the Company attaining specified adjusted net income targets and (iii) the Executive’s personal performance review. Executive’s target bonus of         % is
based on the achievement of         % of target in each of the three components (        % for Adjusted Revenues,
        % for Adjusted Net Income,         % for Personal Performance). 

No bonus is payable in a given category if the specified minimum set forth below in that category is not obtained. Subject to the provisions of the Plan
and the discretion of the Committee, all bonuses will be paid in cash. Details regarding bonus calculation are set forth below, with the         % target level bolded for ease of reference (data points
shown in the tables, other than the minimum and maximum levels, are representative only, and a pro rata portion of the bonus shall be earned for performance achieved that falls between the data points shown):
