The Company may make one or more additional grants of Restricted Stock Units to the Participant under this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement by providing the Participant with a new grant notice, which may also include any terms and conditions differing from this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement to the extent provided therein.  The Company reserves all rights with respect to the granting of additional Restricted Stock Units hereunder and makes no implied promise to grant additional Restricted Stock Units.

With respect to any Restricted Stock Unit, the period of time on and prior to the applicable vesting date in which such Restricted Stock Unit is subject to vesting shall be its Restricted Period.  Notwithstanding anything in this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall have no obligation to issue or transfer any shares of Common Stock as contemplated by this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement unless and until such issuance or transfer complies with all relevant provisions of law and the requirements of any stock exchange on which the Company’s shares of Common Stock are listed for trading.

Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of Section 1 of Appendix B (or a material breach or material threatened breach of any of the provisions of Section 2 of Appendix B of this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement) would be inadequate and the Company would suffer irreparable damages as a result of such breach or threatened breach.  In recognition of this fact, Participant agrees that, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any remedies at law, the Company, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to cease making any payments or providing any benefit otherwise required by this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement and obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance, temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available.

The Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder shall be subject to Participant’s continued compliance with such restrictions.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Restrictive Covenants contained in this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other restrictive covenants or similar covenants or agreements between the Participant and the Company or any of its Affiliates.

THE PARTICIPANT IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING INSTITUTED BY OR AGAINST SUCH PARTICIPANT IN RESPECT OF THE PARTICIPANT’S RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER. 
18.Plan.  The terms and provisions of the Plan are incorporated herein by reference.  In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the terms and provisions of the Plan and the provisions of this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (including the Grant Notice), the Plan shall govern and control.

Following any applicable six (6) month delay, all such delayed payments will be paid in a single lump sum on the earliest date permitted under Section 409A of the Code that is also a business day.  Each payment in a series of payments hereunder will be deemed to be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.
20.Imposition of Other Requirements.  The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Participant’s participation in the Plan, on the Restricted Stock Units and on any

Appendix A


Vesting Schedule
Provided that the Participant has not undergone a Termination as of the applicable Vesting Date (as defined below), the Restricted Stock Units will vest based on achievement of the Performance Conditions set forth below with respect to the Performance Period specified in the Grant Notice.
1.Performance Condition:
The number of Restricted Stock Units that are eligible to vest on each Vesting Date will be based on the achievement of the Performance Conditions set forth below during the Performance Period: 
												
	Performance Condition	Performance Condition Weight	Threshold Level of Achievement	Target Level of Achievement
	2020 Adjusted EBITDA	1/3	[●]
	[●]

	2020 Net Cash	1/3	[●]
	[●]

	2020 Total Subscribers	1/3	[●]
	[●]





2.Calculation of Number of Vested Restricted Stock Units: 
As soon as practicable following the completion of the Performance Period, the Committee shall calculate the Percentage of Target Award Earned for the Restricted Stock Units, based on the percentages specified below.  
						
	Level of Achievement	Percentage of Target Award Earned
	Below Threshold	0%
	Threshold	80%
	Above Target	100%




If actual performance with respect to a Performance Condition is between the “Threshold” and the “Target” levels of achievement, the Percentage of Target Award Earned with respect to such Performance Condition shall be determined using linear interpolation (and rounded to the nearest whole percentage point) between such numbers.  In the event that actual performance does not meet the “Threshold” level of achievement with respect to the applicable Performance Condition, the “Percentage of Target Award Earned” with respect to such Performance Condition shall be zero percent (0%). To determine the number of Restricted Stock Units that are eligible to vest (the “Earned PSUs”), the following formula shall be used:
Total Number of Restricted Stock Units * 1/3 * (Percentage of Target Award Earned with Respect to 2020 Adjusted EBITDA Performance Condition + Percentage of Target Award Earned with Respect to 2020 Net Cash Performance Condition + Percentage of Target Award Earned with Respect to 2020 Total Subscriber Performance Condition).
The Performance Conditions shall not be achieved and no Restricted Stock Units shall vest until the Committee certifies in writing the extent to which each Performance Condition has been met.  All 


1








determinations with respect to whether and the extent to which any Performance Condition has been achieved shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion.  Provided that the Participant has not undergone a Termination on or prior to (i) the date that the Committee certifies in writing the achievement of the Performance Conditions (the “Determination Date”), 50% of the Earned PSUs shall immediately vest and (ii) the first anniversary of the Determination Date, the remaining 50% of the Earned PSUs shall vest (such first anniversary, together with the Determination Date, the “Vesting Dates”).  Any Restricted Stock Units which are not Earned PSUs as of the Determination Date shall be forfeited for no consideration.  
3.Change in Control: 
a.In the event that a Change in Control occurs prior to the Determination Date, (i) provided that the Participation has not undergone a Termination as of the date of such Change in Control, if, in connection with such Change in Control, the Restricted Stock Units are not continued, converted, assumed, or replaced by the Company or a successor entity thereto in connection with such Change in Control, then (x) the Committee shall use its best efforts to determine the actual achievement with respect to each Performance Condition from the first date of the Performance Period through the date of such Change in Control to determine the number of Earned PSUs based on such achievement, and such Earned PSUs shall vest as of immediately prior to such Change in Control (and any Restricted Stock Units that are not Earned PSUs as a result of such determination shall be forfeited for no consideration as of immediately prior to such Change in Control) or (y) to the extent that the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that a determination of the actual performance with respect to the Performance Conditions is impracticable or inequitable, then all of the Restricted Stock Units shall vest as of immediately prior to such Change in Control at the “Target” level of achievement and (ii) if the Participant undergoes a Termination by the Company without Cause during the one-year period following such Change in Control, any then-unvested and outstanding Restricted Stock Units shall vest as of the date of such Termination.  
b.In the event that a Change in Control occurs on or following the Determination Date, (i) provided that the Participation has not undergone a Termination as of the date of such Change in Control, if, in connection with such Change in Control, the unvested Earned PSUs are not continued, converted, assumed, or replaced by the Company or a successor entity thereto in connection with such Change in Control, then all of such Earned PSUs shall vest as of immediately prior to such Change in Control and (ii) if the Participant undergoes a Termination by the Company without Cause during the one-year period following such Change in Control, any then-unvested Earned PSUs shall vest as of the date of such Termination.  
4.[Sales Condition:  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Participant is a direct-to-home (“DTH”) sales leader and participant in one of the Company’s DTH compensation plans, no Earned PSUs shall become vested on any applicable Vesting Date unless, as of such Vesting Date, (i) the Participant is party to a Sales Representative Employment Agreement with the Company or one of its subsidiaries and actively selling during the Sales Season in which the applicable Vesting Date falls and (ii) with respect to the most recently completed Sales Season prior to the applicable Vesting Date, that Participant has at least either (x) 100 Personal Accounts or (y) 1,000 Downline Accounts.  To the extent that the conditions set forth in (i) and (ii) in the previous sentence are not met on the applicable Vesting Date, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, any Earned PSUs that would otherwise have become vested on such date in accordance with Sections 3 and/or 4 of this Appendix A will be forfeited for no consideration.]
