Each Member, with the assistance of the Company, shall separately keep records of its share of the adjusted tax basis in each Depletable Property, adjust such share of the adjusted tax basis for any cost or percentage depletion allowable with respect to such property and use such adjusted tax basis in the computation of its cost depletion or in the computation of its gain or loss on the disposition of such property by the Company. Upon the reasonable request of the Company, each Member shall advise the Company of its adjusted tax basis in each Depletable Property and any depletion computed with respect thereto, both as computed in accordance with the provisions of this subsection for purposes of allowing the Company to make adjustments to the tax basis of its assets as a result of certain transfers of interests in the Company or distributions by the Company. The Company may rely on such information and, if it is not provided by the Member, may make such reasonable assumptions as it shall determine with respect thereto.

Earnings before any or all of interest, tax, depreciation or amortization (actual and adjusted and either in the aggregate or on a per-share basis);

Adjusted EBITDA Calculation. The Company’s Finance Department will calculate the year-to-date Adjusted EBITDA in accordance with its established non-GAAP procedures. The “EBITDA Payout Factor” is determined by locating the percentage of the EBITDA Goal attained in the table below and identifying the corresponding EBITDA Payout Factor. If the percentage of EBITDA Goal attained falls between the listed percentages in the Adjusted EBITDA Table, the EBITDA Goal attained will be determined by interpolation to identify the EBITDA Payout Factor. The Adjusted EBITDA payment is calculated as follows:

Adjusted EBITDA Payments. The Adjusted EBITDA payment will be calculated after the Company’s books are closed for each fiscal quarter and will be paid not more than forty-five (45) days after the close thereof. Payments made to Participant in prior periods of the Plan Year are deducted from the amount payable to Participant for the year-to-date.
