This award is subject to performance-based criteria relating to the achievement of the Company&#8217;s annual operating budget for non-GAAP operating margin measured over four performance periods that consist of the period of 2019 during which Mr. Mowry is employed with the Company and each of the Company&#8217;s fiscal years 2020, 2021 and 2022, with the percentage of the target Shares subject to the award allocated to each such performance periods equal to 15%, 25%, 30%, and 30%, respectively. The maximum number of Shares that may vest under the award is 150% of the target number of Shares subject to the award. Upon achievement of performance during a performance period, the applicable portion of the award will vest subject to Mr. Mowry&#8217;s continued employment with the Company through the date that performance is certified. In the event of the Company&#8217;s Change of Control (as defined in the Severance Agreement) while this award remains subject to performance achievement, the portion of the award allocated to the performance period that is ongoing as of the Change of Control will be deemed to have achieved performance at the target level, and will be scheduled to vest on the last day of such performance period subject to Mr. Mowry&#8217;s continued employment through such date. Any portion of the award for which the performance period has not commenced will terminate in connection with the Change of Control.</p>

A performance-based restricted stock unit award covering a target of 67,897 Shares, determined as $1,250,000, divided by the VWAP over the 50, consecutive, trading days immediately before Mr. Mowry's employment start date.

In the event of the Company's Change of Control (as defined in the Severance Agreement) while the 2020 PSU remains subject to performance achievement, the portion of the award allocated to the performance period that is ongoing as of the Change of Control will be deemed to have achieved performance at the target level, and will be scheduled to vest on the last day of such performance period subject to Mr. Mowry's continued employment. Any portion of the 2020 PSU for which the performance period has not commenced will terminate in connection with the Change of Control.
