Performance Objectives. At the time of grant of a Performance Share Award, the Committee will specify the performance objectives which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the number of Shares that will be distributed to the participant. The Committee will also specify the time period or periods (the “Performance Period”) during which the performance objectives must be met. With respect to awards intended to be “performance based compensation,” the Committee may use performance objectives based on one or more financial criteria or other objective performance measures as the Committee may determine to be appropriate, including, but not limited to, one or more of the following: earnings per share, total revenue, net interest income, non-interest income, net income, net income before tax, non-interest expense, efficiency ratio, return on equity, return on assets, economic profit added, loans, deposits, tangible equity, assets, net charge-offs, new market growth, product line developments, and nonperforming assets. The Committee may designate a single goal criterion or multiple goal criteria for performance measurement purposes. Performance measurement may be described in terms of objectives that are related to the performance by the Company, by any Subsidiary, or by any employee or group of employees in connection with services performed by that employee or those employees for the Company, a Subsidiary, or one or more subunits of the Company or of any Subsidiary. The performance objectives may be made relative to the performance of other companies. The performance objectives and periods need not be the same for each participant or for each Award.

Performance Objectives. Performance Objectives means the achievement of one or more of the following criteria, or such other criteria, as may be determined by the Committee: # Return on Average Stockholders’ Equity; # Return on Average Invested Capital; # revenue performance; # earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; # earnings before interest, taxes and amortization; # operating income; # pre- or after-tax income; # cash flow; # cash flow per share; # net earnings attributable to stockholders; # earnings per share; # return on invested capital; # return on assets; # economic value added (or an equivalent metric); # stock price performance; # total stockholder return; # improvement in or attainment of expense levels; # improvement in or attainment of working capital levels; or # debt reduction. Any of the Performance Objectives set forth above may measure performance on a Company-wide basis or with respect to one or more business units, divisions or Subsidiaries, and either in absolute terms, relative to the performance of one or more similarly situated companies, relative to the performance of an index covering a peer group of companies, relative to the performance of a group of designated companies, or other external measures of the selected Performance Objective.

Performance Objectives. Performance Awards shall be earned under the Plan for a Performance Period based on the level of the Company’s achievement of Performance Objectives selected by the Committee.

Each Performance Award shall specify the Performance Objectives that must be achieved before such Award shall become earned. With respect to Qualified Performance-Based Awards, the Committee shall establish the applicable Performance Objectives in writing not later than ninety (90) days after the commencement of the Performance Period or, if earlier, the date as of which twenty-five percent (25%) of the Performance Period has elapsed. The Company may also specify a minimum acceptable level of achievement below which no payment will be made and may set forth a formula for determining the amount of any payment to be made if performance is at or above such minimum acceptable level but falls short of the maximum achievement of the specified Performance Objectives.

Performance Goals. A Covered Executive may receive a bonus payment under the Plan based on the attainment of one or more performance goals that relate to the financial and operational metrics of the Company established by the Compensation Committee including but not limited to # revenue and/or annual recurring revenue (ARR), # expenses, # bookings, # operating income, # operating margin, # net operating income, # free cash flow, # earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), # earnings per share, # customer retention, # increase in share price, and # any other metric or criteria as determined by the Compensation Committee from time to time. For the avoidance of doubt, the Compensation Committee may, in its discretion, establish sales commissions and bonus payments under this Plan for sales personnel based on performance goals that are applicable to sales performance.

Performance Goals. The specific performance goals for Performance Awards shall be, on an absolute or relative basis, established based on one or more of the following business criteria ("Business Criteria") for the Company on a segregated or consolidated basis or for one or more of the Company's subsidiaries, segments, divisions, or business units, as selected by the Board:

Performance Goals. The Administrator may establish performance goals that relate to financial, operational or other performance of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or divisions, to individual performance objectives of the Covered Executive or to any other performance goal established by the Administrator in connection with a potential bonus payment (the “Performance Goals”). Performance Goals may relate to annual, semi-annual, quarterly or other performance periods established by the Administrator. It is expected that the Administrator establish annual bonus programs pursuant to this Bonus Plan. Following the completion of any performance period (at a time determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion) the Administrator may evaluate attainment of the Performance Goals. The Administrator may revise or refine Performance Goals in its discretion.

Performance Goals. Awards to Participants shall be based solely upon the attainment of performance targets related to one or more performance goals selected by the Committee from among the goals specified below. For purposes of this [Section 5], the formula on which performance targets are based with respect to Awards under this Plan shall be determined by the Committee and may be one or more of the following Company, subsidiary, operating unit or division financial performance measures:

For purposes of Sections 9, 10, 11 and 12 hereof, “performance goals” shall mean the criteria and objectives, determined by the Committee pursuant to the Plan, which shall be satisfied or met during the Period of Restriction or Performance Period, as the case may be, as a condition to the Participant’s receipt, in the case of a grant of the Restricted Stock, of the shares of Stock subject to such grant, or in the case of Awards of Restricted Stock Units, Performance Units or Performance Shares, of payment with respect to such Awards.

If, at the time of grant, the Committee intends a Restricted Stock Award, Restricted Stock Unit Award or Cash-Based Award to qualify as “other performance based compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 162(m), the Committee must establish performance goals for the applicable Performance Period no later than 90 days after the Performance Period begins (or by such other date as may be required under Code Section 162(m)). Such performance goals must be based on one or more of the criteria described in Section 11(b). “Performance Period” means the period selected by the Committee during which performance is measured for purpose of determining the extent to which an award of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units or a Cash-Based Award has been earned.
