For the calendar year 2021, there are four quarterly Performance Periods, ending on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, 2021 (each, a “2021 Performance Period”).  For each of the four 2021 Performance Periods, there are two equally weighted (50% each) performance goals (each, a “2021 Performance Goal”): Revenue and Operating Margin (each as defined below).   The chart below set forth the Revenue and Operating Margin Performance Goals for the four 2021 Performance Periods.

	Q2	$367.3	9.4%
	Q3	$394.0	9.9%
	Q4	$424.1	11.6%


            
“Revenue” means as to each of the 2021 Performance Periods, the Company’s net revenues generated from third parties, including both services revenues and product revenues as defined in the Company’s Form 10-K filed for the calendar year ended December 31, 2020.

2.Funding of 2021 Bonus Pool.  Subject to the terms of the Plan, including but not limited to Section 3(d) of the Plan, following the end of each of the 2021 Performance Periods, the Committee will determine the extent to which each of the 2021 Performance Goals are achieved in accordance with the following guidelines.
a.If the Company achieves Revenue in the 2021 Performance Period that is lower than the amount of Revenue expected by analyst consensus estimates after the Company has released its guidance for such 2021 Performance Period (“Revenue Floor”), the 2021 Bonus Pool related to the Revenue Performance Goal for such 2021 Performance Period will not fund. 
b.If the Company achieves Operating Margin in the 2021 Performance Period that is lower than the Operating Margin expected by analyst consensus estimates after the Company has released its guidance for such 2021 Performance Period (“Operating Margin Floor”), the 2021 








Bonus Pool related to the Operating Margin Performance Goal for such 2021 Performance Period will not fund.
c.If the Company achieves Revenue that is at least equal to the Revenue Floor, the 2021 Bonus Pool related to the Revenue Performance goal for the 2021 Performance Period will fund as follows based on the achievement relative to the applicable Performance Goal.  
Revenue:  For 100% of the Bonus Pool with respect to Revenue to fund, 100% to 101% of the Performance Goal for Revenue must be achieved.  For each 1% of Revenue that is achieved above 101% of the Performance Goal for Revenue, the Bonus Pool with respect to Revenue will be increased by 10%, and for each 1% of Revenue that is achieved below 100% of the Performance Goal for Revenue, the Bonus Pool with respect to Revenue will be reduced by 10%.


d.If the Company achieves Operating Margin that is at least equal to the Operating Margin Floor, the 2021 Bonus Pool related to the Operating Margin Performance goal for the 2021 Performance Period will fund as follows based on the achievement relative to the applicable Performance Goal.  
Operating Margin: For 100% of the Bonus Pool with respect to Operating Margin to fund, -0.4pts to +0.4pts of the Performance Goal for Operating Margin must be achieved.  For each 0.1pts of Operating Margin that is achieved above the Performance Goal for Operating Margin, the Bonus Pool with respect to operating Margin will be increased by 1% (up to a maximum of 120%), and for each 0.1pts of Operating Margin that is achieved below the Performance Goal for Operating Margin, the Bonus Pool with respect to Operating Margin will be reduced by 1%.
