Assuming continued service through the vesting date and achievement of the specified relative and total stockholder returns, the Performance Stock Units, as adjusted, will generally vest on March 31, 2019 (with respect to the 2016 Performance Stock Units award) and March 24, 2020 (with respect to the 2017 Performance Stock Units award).
