[Subject to review by Compensation Committee for 2022]

“Target Average Adjusted EBITDA” is equal to $40 million. Payout shall be calculated based on cumulative Adjusted EBITDA over the Performance Period with a minimum cumulative Adjusted EBITDA of $60 million and a maximum cumulative Adjusted EBITDA of $180 million. [To be updated by Compensation Committee for 2022]
