			By signing this Award Agreement, the Participant hereby acknowledges and agrees to the following:
		

		
			1.          Grant of PSUs

If it vests, each PSU represents the contingent right to receive up to two Common Shares  (or an amount of cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such Common Shares on the settlement date).
		

		
			1.2         The grant of PSUs and payment of any amount in respect of any such PSUs are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan which are incorporated into and form an integral part of this Award
		

		

		
			1         NTD: Company to fill in. Amounts shall equal 2x the Total Number of PSUs Granted.
		

		
			 
		

		
			 
		

		
			

		 

 

		

		
			 
		

		
			Agreement. All capitalized terms used herein, unless expressly defined in a different manner herein, have the meanings given to them in the Plan.
		

		
			2.           Vesting
		

		
			2.1         Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the provisions of this Award Agreement,  the PSUs shall become vested and issuable as set forth under “Number of Common Shares Issuable” and in this Section 2.
		

		
			2.2         No Common Shares or cash will be issued to a Participant in settlement of PSUs for a Performance Period (as defined in Exhibit A) unless the Participant remains employed by or rendering services to the Company or an Affiliate through the last day of such Performance Period (the “Vesting Date”).
		

		
			2.3         If the Participant experiences a termination of employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate prior to the Vesting Date, all of the PSUs that have not vested as of such termination of employment or service shall thereupon automatically be forfeited by the Participant as of the date of termination, and the Participant’s rights in any such PSUs shall thereupon lapse and expire.  Additionally, if the Committee determines that the Achievement Factor for a Performance Period equals zero, the PSUs allocated to such Performance Period (i.e., either 25% or 50% of the Total Number of PSUs Granted, as set forth under “Number of Common Shares Issuable”) shall automatically be forfeited by the Participant as of the Determination Date for such Performance Period, and the Participant’s rights in such PSUs shall thereupon lapse and expire.
		

		
			3.          Change in Control Treatment
		

		
			3.1         Notwithstanding Section 2 or anything to the contrary in the Plan, if a Change in Control occurs and at least one of the two additional circumstances described below occurs, then each unvested PSU will become immediately vested and earned, in whole or in part:
		

		
			3.1.1                     upon a Change in Control the surviving corporation or successor (or any Affiliate thereof) fails to continue or assume the obligations with respect to the PSUs or fails to provide for the conversion or replacement of the PSUs with an equivalent award; or
		

		
			3.1.2                     in the event that the PSUs are continued, assumed, converted or replaced as contemplated in Section 3.1.1, during the one-year period following the effective date of a Change in Control, the Participant incurs a termination of employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate without Cause or for Good Reason (as each term is defined in Section 10).
		

		
			3.2         For any PSUs that vest in accordance with Section 3.1, such PSUs shall vest based on the greater of: (i) actual performance through the date of (x) the Change in Control, in the event Section 3.1.1 applies or (y) the date of termination of employment or services, in the event Section 3.1.2 applies (in each case, the “Early Measurement Date”); or (ii) prorated target performance (as set forth on Exhibit A) based on the number of days elapsed in the applicable Performance Period through the Early Measurement Date.
		

		
			3.3         For purposes of Section 3.1, PSUs shall be considered assumed if, following the Change in Control, the obligations with respect to the PSUs will be continued or assumed by the surviving corporation or successor (or any Affiliate thereof), if each of the following conditions are met, which determination will be made solely in the discretionary judgment of the Committee (as constituted immediately prior to the Change in Control), which determination may be made in advance of the effective date of a particular Change in Control: (i) the Common Shares remain publicly held and widely traded on an established stock exchange; and (ii) the terms of the Plan and the PSUs are not negatively altered or impaired without the consent of the Participant.

			3.4         For purposes of Section 3.1, the obligations with respect to the PSUs will be considered to have been converted or replaced with an equivalent award by the surviving corporation or successor (or an Affiliate thereof), if each of the following conditions are met, which determination will be made solely in the discretionary judgment of the Committee (as constituted immediately prior to the Change in Control), which determination may be made in advance of the effective date of a particular Change in Control:
		

		
			3.4.1                     the converted or replaced award preserves the existing value of the PSUs being replaced,  and contains provisions for scheduled vesting and treatment on termination of employment (including the definition of Cause and Good Reason) that are no less favorable to the Participant than the PSUs being replaced; and
		

		
			3.4.2                     the security represented by the converted or replaced award is of a class that is publicly held and widely traded on an established stock exchange.
		

		
			4.           Settlement
		

		
			4.1         On or before the thirtieth day following the Determination Date (as defined in Exhibit A) for each Performance Period, the Company shall deliver to the Participant a  number of Common Shares determined in accordance with “Number of Common Shares Issuable” and Exhibit A, provided that to the extent the Achievement Factor for the Performance Period exceeds 1, with respect to the portion that exceeds 1, the Company shall deliver an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of the number of Common Shares otherwise issuable in respect of the PSUs in lieu of such Common Shares.
		

		
			5.           Withholdings
		

		
			5.1         The vesting and settlement of the PSUs granted pursuant to this Award Agreement are subject to the tax withholding provisions in Section 14(d) of the Plan.
		

		
			6.           Transferability
		

		
			6.1         The PSUs granted pursuant to this Award Agreement are subject to the restrictions on transferability in Section 14(b) of the Plan.

			8.1         Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, no person shall be entitled to the privileges of ownership in respect of the Common Shares (including any rights to dividends) underlying the PSUs under this Award Agreement until such Common Shares have been issued or delivered to that person.

			“Average Market Value,” means the average closing trading price of a company’s shares on the principal exchange on which such shares are then traded, during the 20 consecutive trading days ending on a specified date for which such closing trading price is reported by the applicable exchange or such other authoritative source as the Committee may reasonably determine.
		

		
			“Debt Covenants” means the financial covenants contained in Sections 10.2(11)(a) and 10.2(11)(b) of the Restated Credit Agreement by and among the Company, Royal Bank of Canada, and the Lenders named therein, dated as of October 5, 2017, and as amended from time to time.
		

		
			 
		

		
			“Gross Debt” means gross combined long and short term debt, including capital leases, as reflected in the balance sheet of the Company and the notes thereto as of December 31, 2019 (for Period 1), December 31, 2020 (for Period 2), or December 31, 2021 (for Period 3), as applicable,  and as each of the foregoing terms is defined under generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied based on those accounting principles as they existed at December 31, 2018.

			“Index” means the Russell 2000 Index as constituted as of April 1, 2019. For purposes of this definition and calculating any company’s TSR for each Performance Period, (i) the Company will be excluded from the Index, (ii) any company that is removed from the Russell 2000 Index due to a merger or acquisition during an applicable Performance Period will be removed from the Index, and (iii) any company that is in the Russell 2000 Index that files for bankruptcy protection during a Performance Period will remain in the Index and be deemed to have the lowest TSR in the Index. In other circumstances where a company is removed from the Russell 2000 Index, the Committee shall reasonably determine whether it is suitable for the company to be excluded from the Index.
		

		
			“Non-Cash Deferred Revenue” means the amount recorded to revenue  for the calendar year ending December 31, 2019 (for Period 1), December 31, 2020 (for Period 2), or December 31, 2021 (for Period 3), as applicable, for the recognition of previously deferred revenue and imputed interest under the Company’s Enhanced View Contract.

			“Quarterly Period” means each of the following periods: January 1 through March 31; April 1 through June 30; July 1 through September 30; and October 1 through December 31.
		

		
			“Quarterly TSR” means the total shareholder return of the Company (or of a company in the Index, as applicable), as measured by the change in the price of a Common Share (or the publicly traded securities of a company in the Index, as applicable) over a Quarterly Period (positive or negative), calculated based on the Average Market Value ending on the first day of a Quarterly Period as the beginning stock price, and the Average Market Value ending on the last day of such Quarterly Period as the ending stock price, and assuming dividends (if any) paid in respect of a Common Share (or the publicly traded securities of a company in the Index, as applicable) are reinvested on the ex-dividend date without consideration for withholding taxes.
		

		
			“Relative TSR” means the Company’s TSR relative to the TSRs of the companies that comprise the Index, expressed as a percentile.
		

		
			“TSR” means the average of all Quarterly TSRs for the Company (or for a company in the Index, as applicable) for a Performance Period.
		

		
			2.    Achievement Factors.  As soon as administratively practicable following the end of each Performance Period (but in no event later than 60 days following the completion of such Performance Period), the Committee shall determine the Relative TSR and Adjusted Cash Leverage for the Performance Period and calculate both the TSR Achievement Factor and the ACL Achievement Factor (such date of determination, the “Determination Date”).
		

		
			The  “TSR Achievement Factor” means that factor determined under Table 1 below based on the Company’s Relative TSR for the applicable Performance Period. The “ACL Achievement Factor” means that factor determined under Table 2 below based on the Company’s Adjusted Cash Leverage for the calendar year ending December 31, 2019 (for Period 1), December 31, 2020 (for Period 2) or December 31, 2021 (for Period 3), as applicable.
		

		
			If the Relative TSR or the Adjusted Cash Leverage achieved during a Performance Period is between two of the levels set forth in the applicable table below, the TSR Achievement Factor or the ACL Achievement Factor (as applicable) shall be determined using linear interpolation.  For clarity, (i) in no event shall the TSR Achievement Factor or ACL Achievement Factor for any Performance Period exceed 2, and (ii) if the Relative TSR or Adjusted Cash Leverage performance for a Performance Period is below the Threshold level, the TSR Achievement Factor or ACL Achievement Factor (as applicable) for such Performance Period shall be 0.

			1.1        Incorporation of Terms of Plan.  The PSUs are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference.  In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall control.
		

		
			ARTICLE II.
		

		
			 GRANT OF PERFORMANCE STOCK UNITS
		

		
			2.1        Grant of PSUs.  Pursuant to the Grant Notice and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, effective as of the Grant Date set forth in the Grant Notice, the Company hereby grants to the Participant an award of PSUs under the Plan in consideration of the Participant’s past and/or continued employment with or service to the Company or any Subsidiaries and for other good and valuable consideration.
		

		
			2.2        Unsecured Obligation to PSUs.  Each PSU constitutes the right to receive a number of Shares upon vesting, as determined in accordance with Section 2.3 below.  Unless and until the PSUs have vested in the manner set forth in Article 2 hereof, the Participant will have no right to receive Common Stock under any such PSUs.  Prior to actual payment of any vested PSUs, such PSUs will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company.
		

		
			2.3        Vesting Schedule; Change in Control.
		

		
			(a)         Subject to Section 2.5 hereof, the PSUs shall vest and become nonforfeitable with respect to the applicable portion thereof in accordance with the Grant Notice and this Section 2.3.
		

		
			(b)         Notwithstanding Section 2.3(a), if a Change in Control occurs and at least one of the two additional circumstances described below occurs, then each unvested PSU will become immediately vested and earned, in whole or in part:
		

		
			(i)          upon a Change in Control, the surviving corporation or successor fails to continue or assume the obligations with respect to the PSUs or fails to provide for the conversion or replacement of the PSUs with an equivalent award; or
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			A-1

		

 

		

		
			(ii)         in the event that the PSUs are continued, assumed, converted or replaced as contemplated in Section 2.3(b)(i), during the one-year period following the effective date of a Change in Control, the Participant incurs a termination of employment or service with the Company or a Subsidiary without Cause or for Good Reason.
		

		
			For any PSUs that vest in accordance with Section 2.3, such PSUs shall vest based on the greater of: (i) actual performance through the date of (x) the Change in Control, in the event subsection (i) above applies or (y) the date of Termination of Service, in the event subsection (ii) applies (in each case, the “Early Measurement Date”); or (ii) prorated target performance (as set forth on Exhibit B) based on the number of days elapsed in the applicable Performance Period through the Early Measurement Date.
		

		
			(c)         For purposes of Section 2.3, the obligations with respect to the PSUs will be considered to have been converted or replaced with an equivalent award by the surviving corporation or successor (or an affiliate thereof), if each of the following conditions are met, which determination will be made solely in the discretionary judgment of the Administrator (as constituted immediately prior to the Change in Control), which determination may be made in advance of the effective date of a particular Change in Control:
		

		
			(i)          the converted or replaced award preserves the existing value of the PSUs being replaced, and contains provisions for scheduled vesting and treatment on termination of employment (including the definition of Cause and Good Reason) that are no less favorable to the Participant than the PSUs being replaced; and
		

		
			(ii)         the security represented by the converted or replaced award is of a class that is publicly held and widely traded on an established stock exchange.
		

		
			2.4        Consideration to the Company.  In consideration of the grant of the award of PSUs pursuant hereto, the Participant agrees to render faithful and efficient services to the Company or any Subsidiary.
		

		
			2.5        Forfeiture, Termination and Cancellation upon Termination of Service.  Subject to Section 2.3(b), upon the Participant’s Termination of Service for any or no reason, all Performance Stock Units which have not vested prior to or in connection with such Termination of Service shall thereupon automatically be forfeited, terminated and cancelled as of the applicable termination date without payment of any consideration by the Company, and the Participant, or the Participant’s beneficiary or personal representative, as the case may be, shall have no further rights hereunder.  Further, notwithstanding herein to the contrary, in the event the Achievement Factor calculated as of a Determination Date equals zero (0), then any PSUs that would otherwise have otherwise vested based on such Achievement Factor shall thereupon automatically be forfeited, terminated and cancelled as of the applicable termination date without payment of any consideration by the Company, and the Participant, or the Participant’s beneficiary or personal representative, as the case may be, shall have no further rights hereunder. No portion of the PSUs which has not become vested as of the date on which the Participant incurs a Termination of Service shall thereafter become vested.
		

		
			2.6        Settlement upon Vesting.
		

		
			(a)         As soon as administratively practicable following the vesting of any Performance Stock Units pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the applicable Determination Date (for the avoidance of doubt, this deadline is intended to comply with the “short term deferral” exemption from Section 409A of the Code), the Company shall deliver to the Participant (or any transferee permitted under Section 3.2 hereof) a number of Shares determined in
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			A-2

		

 

		

		
			accordance with the Grant Notice and Exhibit B, provided that to the extent the Achievement Factor for the Performance Period exceeds 1, with respect to the portion that exceeds 1, the Company shall deliver an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of the number of Shares otherwise issuable in respect of the PSUs in lieu of such Shares.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Shares cannot be issued pursuant to Section 10.4 of the Plan, the Shares shall be issued pursuant to the preceding sentence as soon as administratively practicable after the Administrator determines that Shares can again be issued in accordance with such Section.
		

		
			(b)         As set forth in Section 10.2 of the Plan, the Company shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or to require the Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy all applicable federal, state and local taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising in connection with the Performance Stock Units.  The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any Shares to the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative unless and until the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative shall have paid or otherwise satisfied in full the amount of all federal, state and local taxes applicable to the taxable income of the Participant resulting from the grant or vesting of the Performance Stock Units or the issuance of Shares.
		

		
			2.7        Conditions to Delivery of Shares.  The Shares deliverable hereunder may be either previously authorized but unissued Shares, treasury Shares or issued Shares which have then been reacquired by the Company.  Such Shares shall be fully paid and nonassessable.  The Company shall not be required to issue Shares deliverable hereunder prior to fulfillment of the conditions set forth in Section 10.4 of the Plan.
		

		
			2.8        Rights as Stockholder.  The holder of the PSUs shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, voting rights and rights to dividends, in respect of the PSUs and any Shares underlying the PSUs and deliverable hereunder unless and until such Shares shall have been issued by the Company and held of record by such holder (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company).  No adjustment shall be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 12.2 of the Plan.
		

		
			ARTICLE III.
		

		
			OTHER PROVISIONS
		

		
			3.1        Administration.  The Administrator shall have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret, amend or revoke any such rules.

			3.10      Conformity to Securities Laws.  The Participant acknowledges that the Plan and this Agreement are intended to conform to the extent necessary with all provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and any other Applicable Law.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan shall be administered, and the PSUs are granted, only in such a manner as to conform to Applicable Law.

			3.15      Section 409A.  This Award is not intended to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (together with any Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the date hereof, “Section 409A”).  However, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement, if at any time the Administrator determines that this Award (or any portion thereof) may be subject to Section 409A, the Administrator shall have the right in its sole discretion (without any obligation to do so or to indemnify Participant or any other person for failure to do so) to adopt such amendments to the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement, or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, as the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate for this Award either to be exempt from the application of Section 409A or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.

			3.18      Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Notification. The Participant understands that the Participant’s country may have certain exchange control and/or foreign asset/account reporting requirements which may affect the Participant’s ability to hold cash or Shares received from the PSUs in a brokerage or bank account outside of the Participant’s country. The Participant may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in the Participant’s country. The Participant acknowledges that it is the Participant’s responsibility to comply with any applicable regulations, and the Participant should speak to the Participant’s personal advisor on this matter.
		

		
			3.19      Additional Acknowledgement.  The Participant acknowledges that for employment law purposes outside the United States, the PSUs and the income from and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including but not limited to for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, holiday pay, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar mandatory payments.

			3.20      Additional Terms for Participants in Canada.
		

		
			(a)         Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, Agreement or Grant Notice, in no event will the final vesting date of any PSU granted hereunder be (and any subsequent payment and/or settlement thereof be made) later than December 31 of the third calendar year following the year of grant, and any PSUs that have not settled and/or been paid by such date will automatically expire or will accelerate and be settled and/or paid out by such date, at the sole discretion of the Company.
		

		
			(b)         By accepting this grant of securities, you represent and warrant to the Company that your participation in the trade and acceptance of such securities is voluntary and that you have not been induced to participate by expectation of engagement, appointment, employment, continued appointment or continued employment, as applicable.

			1.     Definitions.
		

		
			“Achievement Factor” for a Performance Period means the average of the TSR Achievement Factor and the ACL Achievement Factor for such Performance Period.
		

		
			“Adjusted Cash Leverage” or “ACL” means the quotient obtained by dividing Gross Debt by Adjusted EBITDA.
		

		
			“Adjusted EBITDA” means the Company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, excluding Non-Cash Deferred Revenue, impairment losses, inventory valuation adjustments, legal settlements/provisions, restructuring charges and restructuring-related retention arrangements, acquisition/disposition and integration related expenses, foreign exchange gains and losses, unusual gains and losses and stock compensation expenses, for the calendar year ending December 31, 2019 (for Period 1), December 31, 2020 (for Period 2), or December 31, 2021 (for Period 3), as applicable.
		

		
			“Average Market Value,” means the average closing trading price of a company’s shares on the principal exchange on which such shares are then traded, during the 20 consecutive trading days ending on a specified date for which such closing trading price is reported by the applicable exchange or such other authoritative source as the Administrator may reasonably determine.
		

		
			“Debt Covenants” means the financial covenants contained in Sections 10.2(11)(a) and 10.2(11)(b) of the Restated Credit Agreement by and among the Company, Royal Bank of Canada, and the Lenders named therein, dated as of October 5, 2017, and as amended from time to time.
		

		
			“Gross Debt” means gross combined long and short term debt, including capital leases, as reflected in the balance sheet of the Company and the notes thereto as of December 31, 2019 (for Period 1), December 31, 2020 (for Period 2), or December 31, 2021 (for Period 3), as applicable, and as each of the foregoing terms is defined under generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied based on those principles as they existed at December 31, 2018.  For reference, at December 31, 2018 this included outstanding borrowings on the company’s revolving credit agreement, term loan A and term loan B, and capital leases aggregating $3,088 million.
		

		
			“Index” means the Russell 2000 Index as constituted as of April 1, 2019. For purposes of this definition and calculating any company’s TSR for each Performance Period, (i) the Company will be excluded from the Index, (ii) any company that is removed from the Russell 2000 Index due to a merger or acquisition during an applicable Performance Period will be removed from the Index, and (iii) any company that is in the Russell 2000 Index that files for bankruptcy protection during a Performance Period will remain in the Index and be deemed to have the lowest TSR in the Index. In other circumstances where a company is removed from the Russell 2000 Index, the Committee shall reasonably determine whether it is suitable for the company to be excluded from the Index.
		

		
			“Non-Cash Deferred Revenue” means the amount recorded to revenue for the calendar year ending December 31, 2019 (for Period 1), December 31, 2020 (for Period 2), or December 31, 2021 (for Period 3), as applicable, for the recognition of previously deferred revenue and imputed interest under the Company’s Enhanced View Contract.  For reference, the amount of deferred revenue recognized as revenue during the year ended as of December 31, 2018 was $120 million.
		

		
			“Performance Period” means each of Period 1, Period 2, and Period 3.
		

		
			“Period 1” means April 1, 2019 through March 31, 2020.

			“Period 2” means April 1, 2019 through March 31, 2021.
		

		
			“Period 3” means April 1, 2019 through March 31, 2022.
		

		
			“Quarterly Period” means each of the following periods: January 1 through March 31; April 1 through June 30; July 1 through September 30; and October 1 through December 31.
		

		
			“Quarterly TSR” means the total shareholder return of the Company (or of a company in the Index, as applicable), as measured by the change in the price of a Share (or the publicly traded securities of a company in the Index, as applicable) over a Quarterly Period (positive or negative), calculated based on the Average Market Value ending on the first day of a Quarterly Period as the beginning stock price, and the Average Market Value ending on the last day of such Quarterly Period as the ending stock price, and assuming dividends (if any) paid in respect of a Share (or the publicly traded securities of a company in the Index, as applicable) are reinvested on the ex-dividend date without consideration for withholding taxes.
		

		
			“Relative TSR” means the Company’s TSR relative to the TSRs of the companies that comprise the Index, expressed as a percentile.
		

		
			“TSR” means the average of all Quarterly TSRs for the Company (or for a company in the Index, as applicable) for a Performance Period.
		

		
			2.     Achievement Factors.  As soon as administratively practicable following the end of each Performance Period (but in no event later than 60 days following the completion of such Performance Period), the Administrator shall determine the Relative TSR and Adjusted Cash Leverage for the Performance Period and calculate both the TSR Achievement Factor and the ACL Achievement Factor (such date of determination, the “Determination Date”).
		

		
			The “TSR Achievement Factor” means that factor determined under Table 1 below based on the Company’s Relative TSR for the applicable Performance Period. The “ACL Achievement Factor” means that factor determined under Table 2 below based on the Company’s Adjusted Cash Leverage for the calendar year ending December 31, 2019 (for Period 1), December 31, 2020 (for Period 2) or December 31, 2021 (for Period 3), as applicable.
		

		
			If the Relative TSR or the Adjusted Cash Leverage achieved during a Performance Period is between two of the levels set forth in the applicable table below, the TSR Achievement Factor or the ACL Achievement Factor (as applicable) shall be determined using linear interpolation.  For clarity, (i) in no event shall the TSR Achievement Factor or ACL Achievement Factor for any Performance Period exceed 2, and (ii) if the Relative TSR or Adjusted Cash Leverage performance for a Performance Period is below the Threshold level, the TSR Achievement Factor or ACL Achievement Factor (as applicable) for such Performance Period shall be 0.
