The target number of units is presented in the table. The number of units that actually vest may be higher or lower than the target amount, depending on the extent to which the registrant meets or exceeds the performance criteria.
( 5 )Each PSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of common stock of the registrant.
( 6 )The PSUs will vest upon the achievement of certain performance criteria related to the registrant's adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year ended 2018.
