The performance measurement for PB-RSUs are 2- and 3-year relative TSR goals based on the Russell 3000 index. Subject to performance, earned PB-RSU shares vest 50% after year 2 and 50% after year 3 with a maximum payout up to 200% of target for each performance period. The performance period begins [DATE].
