Exhibit 10.5
Dated: March 26, 2010
Notice of Performance Unit Grant
| Participant: | ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ | |
| Notice: | You have been granted Performance Units in accordance with the terms of Article XI of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings, Inc. 2009 Equity Participation Plan (the “Plan”) and the Performance Unit Award Agreement attached hereto (the “Award Agreement”). | |
| ▇▇▇▇▇: | Date of Grant: March 26, 2010 | |
| Number of Performance Units: To be determined as provided below | ||
| Each Performance Unit has a value of $1.00 |
Performance Period: Calendar year 2010.
Calculation of Number of Performance Units to Be Awarded:
The number of Performance Units you will receive under the Agreement, if any, will be determined as follows. First, the Company’s Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) will compute the 2010 Company Bonus Pool (the “Bonus Pool”). Second, the Committee will determine the maximum number of your Performance Units by multiplying the Bonus Pool by 10%. By way of illustration, if your percentage of the Bonus Pool has a value equal to $1 million, you would be entitled to a maximum of 1,000,000 Performance Units. As provided in Section 17.8 of the Plan, in no event may your Performance Units exceed $10 million. Finally, in its complete discretion, the Committee shall determine the actual number of Performance Units to which you shall be entitled, which may be any lesser number (including 0) that the Committee determines. You will thereupon receive a cash payment from the Company, equal to the product of $1.00 multiplied by the number of Performance Units awarded to you, if any, which amount shall be paid to you prior to March 15, 2011, unless the Committee determines to reduce the number of your Performance Units to 0.
Computation of the Bonus Pool
First, “Adjusted EBITDA” is computed. Adjusted EBIDA equals GAAP net income/loss for the Company for calendar 2010 prior to subtraction of the Bonus Pool and with the following additional adjustments:
Income tax expense/benefit is added back or subtracted
Charges for stock-based compensation, non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization, and interest expense (including the Company’s share of unconsolidated amounts for these items) are added back.
Extraordinary items are excluded.
| The Bonus Pool is a dollar amount computed as follows: | ||
| There is no Bonus Pool unless Adjusted EBITDA is at least $25 million. | ||
| If Adjusted EBITDA equals or exceeds $25 million but is not more than $50 million, the Bonus Pool equals $2.5 million plus 20% of Adjusted EBITDA from $25 million through $50 million. | ||
| If Adjusted EBITDA exceeds $50 million but is not more than $75 million, the Bonus Pool equals $7.5 million plus 30% of Adjusted EBITDA from $50 million through $75 million. | ||
| If Adjusted EBITDA exceeds $75 million but is not more than $100 million, the Bonus Pool equals $15 million plus 40% of Adjusted EBITDA from $75 million through $100 million. | ||
| If Adjusted EBITDA exceeds $100 million, the Bonus Pool equals $25 million plus 25% of Adjusted EBITDA in excess of $100 million. | ||

2. Grant of Performance Units.
Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Participant, pursuant to the Plan, the contingent right to receive in cash an amount equal to the product of $1.00 multiplied by the number of Performance Units set forth in the Grant Notice, as such number of Performance Units may be reduced by the Committee in its sole and unfettered discretion (the “Performance Units”).

After the Performance Period (as specified in the Notice of Grant) has ended, the Company shall pay to the Participant in cash the product of $1.00 multiplied by the number of Performance Units to which he or she is entitled, if any, as determined by the Committee pursuant to the Grant Notice; provided, however, that the Committee may, in its sole and unfettered discretion, decrease the amount of Performance Units awarded to the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Awardee’s entitlement to receive any payment hereunder shall be forfeited thereby upon the termination of the Awardee’s employment with the Company (i) by the Company for Cause, or (ii) by the Awardee without Good Reason, in either case prior to the date on which the Committee determines the number of Performance Units to be awarded to the Awardee hereunder. For purposes of Section 3, the term “Good Reason” shall mean the voluntary termination of the employment of the Awardee with the Company by the Awardee within six months of the Company’s (A) instructing the Awardee to work full-time or substantially full-time at any location not acceptable to the Awardee (other than the Company’s main headquarters) that is more than 50 miles from the Awardee’s principal place of work and more than 50 miles from the Awardee’s principal residence, (B) eliminating or materially reducing the Awardee’s duties for the Company, or (C) reducing the Awardee’s base pay; provided, however, that the Awardee must provide notice to the Company within 90 days of the initial existence of the condition constituting the Awardee’s “Good Reason” and, provided further, that the Company shall have a period of 30 days to remedy such condition, and if it does, such condition shall not constitute “Good Reason.”
