The number of Performance Stock Units that become Earned Units is determined based on the level of achievement during the Performance Period based on the following metric(s):
Earned Commission. A Participant will earn a commission (and be entitled to retain the PO Advance (as defined below)) only upon the Companys receipt of payment from the customer assigned to the Participant or from a customer in the territory assigned to the Participant with respect to a Company product or service (i.e., not including any fees or payment received with respect to third party products and services) within sixty (60) days of the date the purchase order is entered into, or such longer period of time specifically authorized by the Companys Senior Vice President of Sales or CFO (Earned Commission). For the purposes hereof, a customer will be deemed to be in the territory assigned to the Participant if the customers corporate headquarters is located in the territory. Upon the companys receipt of payment from the customer, earned commissions will be equal to the amount of purchase orders entered into in that quarter multiplied by the participants commission rate set forth in the compensation plan in the same manner described in section 3.2 below.
Performance Shares and Performance Units. An Award of Performance Shares or Performance Units under the Plan shall entitle the Participant to future payments or Shares or a combination thereof based upon the level of achievement with respect to one or more pre-established performance criteria established for one or more Performance Periods. The Performance Period over which Performance Shares or Performance Units are earned shall not be less than one year nor more than five years as specified by the Committee.
Terms and Conditions of Awards. For each Participant, the Board will determine the timing of awards; the number of units awarded; the value of units, which may be stated either in cash or in shares of Stock; the performance measures used for determining whether the Performance Units are earned; the performance period during which the performance measures will apply; the relationship between the level of achievement of the performance measures and the degree to which Performance Units are earned; whether, during or after the performance period, any revision to the performance measures or performance period should be made to reflect significant events or changes that occur during the performance period; and the number of earned Performance Units that will be paid in cash and/or shares of Stock, as shall be prescribed by the Board in its sole discretion and as shall be contained in the Participant’s Option Grant Certificate.

Neither this Award nor the Units subject to this Award may be sold, assigned, transferred, exchanged or encumbered, voluntarily or involuntarily, other than a transfer upon your death in accordance with your will, by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a beneficiary designation submitted in accordance with the Plan. Following any such transfer, this Award shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions that were applicable to the Award immediately prior to its transfer.
