EXPLANATORY NOTE

Cannae Holdings, Inc. (“Cannae”) filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 on Form S-4 (our “Registration Statement”), as amended, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 11, 2017, which the SEC declared effective on October 19, 2017. The Registration Statement includes financial statements for the interim period ended June 30, 2017. Therefore, Cannae is filing this Form 10-Q pursuant to Rule 13a-13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in order to file financial statements for the quarter subsequent to the quarter reported in the Registration Statement.
The financial statements of Cannae have been omitted from this presentation because through September 30, 2017, Cannae had not commenced operations, and had no activities except in connection with its formation. Cannae was incorporated in the State of Delaware on April 21, 2017, for the initial purpose of effecting the Split-off of the businesses comprising Fidelity National Financial Ventures ("FNFV") Operations from Fidelity National Financial, Inc., as described in Note A to the Financial Statements of FNFV Operations included herein, and has engaged only in activities in contemplation of such Split-off through September 30, 2017.

FIDELITY NATIONAL FINANCIAL VENTURES OPERATIONS
NOTES TO CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note A — Basis of Financial Statements
Description of the Business
During December 2016, the board of directors of Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (“FNF” or “Parent”) authorized its management to pursue a plan to redeem each outstanding share of its Fidelity National Financial Ventures Group ("FNFV Group") common stock, par value $0.0001, for one share of common stock, par value $0.0001, of a newly formed entity, Cannae Holdings, Inc. (“Cannae”), with cash in lieu of fractional shares (the "Split-Off"). On November 17, 2017, FNF contributed to Cannae its majority and minority equity investment stakes in a number of entities, including American Blue Ribbon Holdings, LLC ("ABRH"), Ceridian Holding, LLC ("Ceridian"), and various controlled portfolio companies and other minority equity investments, which we refer to collectively herein as Fidelity National Financial Ventures Operations (the “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”). The Split-Off is intended to be tax-free to stockholders of FNFV Group common stock.
See Note H Segment Information for further discussion of the businesses comprising our reportable segments.
Split-off of Cannae from FNF
Following the Split-Off, FNF and Cannae will operate as separate, publicly traded companies. In connection with the Split-Off, FNF and Cannae entered into certain agreements in order to govern certain of the ongoing relationships between the two companies after the Split-Off and to provide for an orderly transition. These agreements include a reorganization agreement, a corporate services agreement, registration rights agreements, a voting agreement, and a tax matters agreement, and a revolver note.
The reorganization agreement provides for, among other things, the principal corporate transactions (including the internal restructuring) required to effect the Split-Off, certain conditions to the Split-Off and provisions governing the relationship between Cannae and FNF with respect to and resulting from the Split-Off. Pursuant to the corporate services agreement, FNF will provide Cannae with certain "back office" services including legal, tax, accounting and treasury support. FNF will generally provide these services at no-cost for up to three years. Cannae will reimburse FNF for direct, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by FNF in providing these services.The voting and registration rights agreements provide for certain appearance and voting restrictions and registration rights on shares of Cannae owned by FNF and certain of its subsidiaries, as applicable, after consummation of the Split-Off. The tax matters agreement provides for the allocation and indemnification of tax liabilities and benefits between FNF and Cannae and other agreements related to tax matters. The revolver note provides for the Company to borrow revolving loans, the proceeds of which may be used for investment purposes and working capital needs, from FNF from time to time in an aggregate amount not to exceed $100 million.
The Split-Off will be accounted for at historical cost due to the pro rata nature of the distribution to holders of FNFV Group common stock.
Principles of Combination and Basis of Presentation
The unaudited financial information in this report includes the accounts of the Company and is prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and include the historical accounts as well as wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries contributed upon consummation of the Split-off. All adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All adjustments made were of a normal, recurring nature. This report should be read in conjunction with Amendment No. 7 to our Registration Statement on Form S-1 on Form S-4 (our "Registration Statement") filed with the SEC on October 18, 2017.
These financial statements represent a combination of the historical financial information of the operations attributed to FNFV, of which Cannae will be comprised. Historically, the Company was allocated certain corporate overhead and management services expenses from FNF based on our proportionate share of the expense determined on actual usage and our best estimate of management's allocation of time. Both FNF and the Company believe such allocations are reasonable; however, they may not be indicative of the actual results of operations or cash flows of the Company had the Company been operating as an independent, publicly traded company for the periods presented or the amounts that will be incurred by the Company in the future.
All intercompany profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated. Our investments in non-majority-owned partnerships and affiliates are accounted for using the equity method until such time that they become wholly or majority-owned. Earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests are recorded on the Combined Statements of Operations relating to majority-owned subsidiaries with the appropriate noncontrolling interest that represents the portion of equity not related to our ownership interest recorded on the Combined Balance Sheets in each period.

Recent Developments
On November 17, 2017, a special meeting of the FNFV Group stockholders was held to approve the Split-Off. The Split-Off was approved by a majority of the stockholders and occurred on November 17, 2017. As a result, Cannae is now a separate public company listed under the ticker symbol CNNE on the New York Stock Exchange.
On November 16, 2017, certain subsidiaries of FNF contributed an aggregate of $100.0 million to us in exchange for 5,706,134 shares of Cannae common stock. In addition, on November 17, 2017, FNF issued to Cannae a revolver note in aggregate principal amount of up to $100.0 million, which accrues interest at LIBOR plus 450 basis points and matures on the five-year anniversary of the date of the revolver note. The maturity date is automatically extended for additional five-year terms unless notice of non-renewal is otherwise provided by either FNF or Cannae, in their sole discretion. The revolver note replaces the Revolver Note discussed in Note F Notes Payable.
On October 16, 2017, Fidelity National Financial Ventures LLC ("FNFV LLC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, completed a merger pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the ‘‘T-System Merger Agreement’’) with Project F Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of FNFV LLC (‘‘T-System Merger Sub’’), T-System Holding LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (‘‘T-System’’), and Francisco Partners II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, providing for the acquisition of T-System by FNFV LLC pursuant to the proposed merger (the ‘‘T-System Merger’’) of T-System with and into T- System Merger Sub, which will result in T-System continuing as the surviving entity and wholly-owned subsidiary of FNFV LLC.
T-System is a provider of clinical documentation and coding solutions to hospital-based and free-standing emergency departments and urgent care facilities. T-System organizes its business into two segments. The Clinical Documentation segment offers software solutions providing clinical staff full workflow operations that drive documentation completeness and revenue optimization to more than 435 customers. Additionally, the patented T-Sheet is the industry standard for emergency department documentation, with more than 800 customers. The Coding Software & Outsourced Solutions segment provides a full-service outsourced coding solution as well as a cloud-based SaaS solution for self-service coding. These offerings help more than 75 customers at over 300 sites optimize their revenue cycle workflow and customer revenue reimbursement through improved coding accuracy and compliance and coder productivity compared to in-house coding.
As a result of the T-System Merger, all of the outstanding securities of T-System were canceled, extinguished and converted into the right to receive a portion of the aggregate merger consideration in accordance with the terms of the T-System Merger Agreement. The aggregate merger consideration is an amount in cash equal to $204.4 million.
On August 3, 2017, FNFV LLC entered into a definitive agreement (the "99 Merger Agreement"), by and among J. Alexander’s Holdings, Inc. ("J. Alexander’s"), its subsidiary J. Alexander’s Holdings, LLC ("JAX Op"), Nitro Merger Sub, Inc. ("Merger Sub"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JAX Op, Fidelity Newport Holdings, LLC ("FNH", together with FNFV LLC, the "99 Sellers"), and 99 Restaurants, LLC ("99 Restaurants"), to merge Merger Sub with and into 99 Restaurants, whereupon the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and 99 Restaurants shall continue as the surviving company and a subsidiary of JAX Op (the "99 Merger"). 99 Restaurants is the owner of our Ninety Nine Restaurant & Pub restaurant concept. Pursuant to the 99 Merger Agreement, FNH will exchange 100% of its ownership interest in 99 Restaurants for common share equivalents of J. Alexander’s (as described below).
Under the terms of the 99 Merger Agreement, 99 Restaurants will be valued at an enterprise value of $199.0 million, with consideration to be paid to the 99 Sellers by J. Alexander’s and JAX Op consisting of newly issued equity valued at $179.0 million, issued in the form of 16,272,727 new Class B Units of JAX Op and 16,272,727 shares of new Class B Common Stock of J. Alexander’s, and the assumption of $20.0 million of net debt.  For purposes of the 99 Merger, each Class B Unit, together with one share of Class B Common Stock, will be issued at an agreed price of $11.00. Prior to the 99 Merger, 99 Restaurants will assume $60 million of currently outstanding debt of certain of its affiliates and FNFV LLC will contribute $40.0 million to 99 Restaurants in exchange for newly issued membership interest in 99 Restaurants. The proceeds of this cash contribution will be used by J. Alexander’s to repay a portion of the assumed debt immediately following the closing of the 99 Merger. William P. Foley, II, our Executive Chairman, will join the J. Alexander’s Board of Directors and it is expected that Lonnie J. Stout II will remain Chief Executive Officer of the combined company. Closing is contingent on customary closing conditions, including approval of the shareholders of J. Alexander’s and certain regulatory clearances, and is expected late in the fourth quarter of 2017 or early in the first quarter of 2018.
On June 6, 2017, we closed on the sale of Digital Insurance, Inc. ("OneDigital") for $560.0 million in an all-cash transaction. After repayment of debt, payout to option holders and a minority equity investor and other transaction related payments, the Company received $331.4 million from the sale, which includes $326.0 million of cash and $5.4 million of purchase price holdback receivable. We recognized a pre-tax gain of $276.0 million on the sale and $126.3 million in income tax expense which are included

in Net earnings from discontinued operations on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Income tax expense resulting from the gain was recorded as a discrete tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and included a permanent tax adjustment for nondeductible goodwill. We retained no ownership in OneDigital and have no continuing involvement with OneDigital as of the date of the sale.
As a result of the sale of OneDigital we have reclassified the assets and liabilities divested as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in our condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2016. Further, the financial results of OneDigital have been reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented in our condensed combined statements of operations. See Note J. Discontinued Operations for further details of the results of OneDigital.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.  The guidance simplifies the measurement of goodwill impairment by removing step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires the determination of the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of a reporting unit.  The new guidance requires goodwill impairment to be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis.  The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. We have completed our evaluation of the effect this new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and have concluded that the effect will not be material. We do not expect to early adopt this standard.
From May 2014 through December 2016 the FASB issued various ASUs on revenue recognition (the "Revenue Recognition ASUs") including ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations, ASU 2016-10 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, ASU 2016-12 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, and ASU 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Prior to the acquisition of T-System we concluded that we do not expect the Revenue Recognition ASUs to have a material impact on our combined financial statements as disclosed in Note S to our Combined Financial Statements included in our Registration Statement. We do not expect the acquisition of T-System to change the Company's initial conclusion of the impact of the Revenue Recognition ASUs on our financial statements.

Note B.         Acquisitions
The results of operations and financial position of the entities acquired during any period are included in the Condensed Combined Financial Statements from and after the date of acquisition.
T-System
On October 16, 2017, we completed the T-System Merger for aggregate merger consideration of $204.4 million. T-System is a provider of clinical documentation and coding solutions to hospital-based and free-standing emergency departments and urgent care facilities.
The Company paid total consideration, net of cash received, of $202.8 million in exchange for 100% of the ownership of T-System. The total consideration paid was as follows (in millions):

The Company will account for the acquisition by applying the acquisition method of accounting which requires, among other things, that the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed be measured at their fair values as of the closing date of the transaction.  The Company is in the process of ascertaining the respective fair values of the net identifiable assets; however, initial estimates are not yet available.  Accordingly, we have excluded disclosure of the major classes of assets and liabilities acquired and supplemental pro forma information.

Brasada
On January 18, 2016, we completed our purchase of certain assets of Brasada Ranch Development, LLC, Brasada Ranch Hospitality, LLC, Brasada Ranch Utilities, LLC, Brasada Rental Management, LLC, and Oregon Resorts, LLC (collectively, "Brasada") through our 87% owned subsidiary FNF NV Brasada, LLC. Brasada is a ranch-style resort in Oregon which offers luxury accommodations, championship golf, world-class dining and amenities, and vast recreational activities. The acquisition was made to supplement our resort, land and real estate holdings.
The Company paid total consideration, net of cash received, of $27.5 million in exchange for the assets of Brasada. The total consideration paid was as follows (in millions):

Note C — Fair Value Measurements

The fair value hierarchy established by the accounting standards on fair value measurements includes three levels which are based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities that are recorded in the Combined Balance Sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1.  Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that we have the ability to access.
Level 2.  Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3.  Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on model inputs that are unobservable.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The following table presents our fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively:

Our recurring Level 2 fair value measure for our fixed-maturity securities available for sale are provided by a third-party provider. We rely on one price for the instruments to determine the carrying amount of the assets on our balance sheet. Quarterly, a blended comparable public company and discounted cash flow analysis are utilized to determine the fair value. The inputs utilized in the analysis include observable measures such as benchmark yields, benchmark securities, and reference data including public company operating results and market research publications. Other factors considered include the bond's yield, its terms and

conditions, or any other feature which may influence its risk and thus marketability, as well as relative credit information and relevant sector news. We review the pricing methodologies for our Level 2 securities by obtaining an understanding of the valuation models and assumptions used by the third-party as well as independently comparing the resulting prices to other publicly available measures of fair value.
Additional information regarding the fair value of our investment portfolio is included in Note D Investments.
Deferred compensation plan assets are comprised of various investment funds which are valued based upon their quoted market prices.
As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 we held no material assets or liabilities measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs.
The carrying amounts of trade receivables and notes receivable approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The fair value of our notes payable is included in Note F Notes Payable.

As of September 30, 2017 the fixed maturity securities in our investment portfolio had a maturity of greater than one year but less than five years. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because certain borrowers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Equity securities are carried at fair value. The change in net unrealized gain/loss on equity securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was a decrease of $1.8 million and $8.4 million, respectively. The decrease in the three-month period ended September 30, 2017 was primarily attributable to a decrease in market value of our holding. The decrease in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 was primarily attributable to sales of securities.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we sold equity securities for gross proceeds of $31.6 million resulting in gross realized gains of $5.1 million. We sold no securities in the three months ended September 30, 2017 or the three or nine months ended September 30, 2016.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we incurred no other-than-temporary impairment charges relating to securities available for sale. We recorded realized gains of $5.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 related to the sales of equity securities available for sale. We recorded no realized gains or losses on securities available for sale in the three months ended September 30, 2017 or the three or nine months ended September 30, 2016.
As of September 30, 2017, we held no investments for which an other-than-temporary impairment had been previously recognized. It is possible that future events may lead us to recognize potential future impairment losses related to our investment portfolio and that unanticipated future events may lead us to dispose of certain investment holdings and recognize the effects of any market movements in our combined financial statements.

At September 30, 2017 the carrying value of our outstanding notes payable approximated fair value. The carrying value of the ABRH term loan and the variable rate notes pursuant to the Brasada Cascades Credit Agreement approximate fair value as they are variable rate instruments with short reset periods (either monthly or quarterly) which reflect current market rates. The revolving credit facilities are considered Level 2 financial liabilities. The fixed-rate note pursuant to the Cascades Credit Agreement approximates fair value as of September 30, 2017.
On January 29, 2016, FNF NV Brasada, LLC, an Oregon limited liability company and majority-owned subsidiary of Cannae (“NV Brasada”), entered into a credit agreement with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $17.0 million (the “Cascades Credit Agreement”) with Bank of the Cascades, an Oregon state-chartered commercial bank (“Bank of the Cascades”), as lender. The material terms of the Cascades Credit Agreement are set forth in our audited Combined Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in our Registration Statement. As of September 30, 2017, the variable rate notes incurred interest at 3.48%, and there is $0.8 million available to be drawn on the Line of Credit Loan.
On August 19, 2014, ABRH entered into a credit agreement (the “ABRH Credit Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as administrative agent, Swingline Lender and Issuing Lender (the “ABRH Administrative Agent”), Bank of America, N.A. as syndication agent and the other financial institutions party thereto. The ABRH Credit Facility was amended on February 24, 2017. The material terms of the ABRH Credit Facility are set forth in our audited Combined Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in our Registration Statement. As of September 30, 2017, ABRH had $16.4 million of outstanding letters of credit, $18.6 million of borrowings under the ABRH Revolver incurred interest monthly at 4.24% and $11.0 million of borrowings incurred interest quarterly at 6.25%.
On June 30, 2014, FNF issued to FNFV, LLC a revolver note in an aggregate principal amount of up to $100.0 million (the “Revolver Note”), pursuant to FNF's revolving credit facility.

Note G — Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in various pending and threatened litigation and regulatory matters related to our operations, some of which include claims for punitive or exemplary damages. Our ordinary course litigation includes purported class action lawsuits, which make allegations related to various aspects of our business. From time to time, we also receive requests for information from various state and federal regulatory authorities, some of which take the form of civil investigative demands or subpoenas. Some of these regulatory inquiries may result in the assessment of fines for violations of regulations or settlements with such authorities requiring a variety of remedies. We believe that no actions, other than those discussed below, depart from customary litigation or regulatory inquiries incidental to our business.
Our Restaurant Group companies are a defendant from time to time in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims relating to injury or wrongful death under “dram shop” laws that allow a person to sue us based on any injury caused by an intoxicated person who was wrongfully served alcoholic beverages at one of the restaurants; individual and purported class or collective action claims alleging violation of federal and state employment, franchise and other laws; and claims from guests or employees alleging illness, injury or other food quality, health or operational concerns. Our Restaurant Group companies are also subject to compliance with extensive government laws and regulations related to employment practices and policies and the manufacture, preparation, and sale of food and alcohol. We may also become subject to lawsuits and other proceedings, as well as card network fines and penalties, arising out of the actual or alleged theft of our customers' credit or debit card information.
We review lawsuits and other legal and regulatory matters (collectively “legal proceedings”) on an ongoing basis when making accrual and disclosure decisions. When assessing reasonably possible and probable outcomes, management bases its decision on its assessment of the ultimate outcome assuming all appeals have been exhausted. For legal proceedings in which it has been determined that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable, a liability based on known facts and which represents our best estimate is recorded. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we have no accruals for legal proceedings as none of our ongoing matters are both probable and reasonably estimable. Actual losses may materially differ from the amounts recorded and the ultimate outcome of our pending legal proceedings is generally not yet determinable. While some of these matters could be material to our operating results or cash flows for any particular period if an unfavorable outcome results, at present we do not believe that the ultimate resolution of currently pending legal proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
On April 8, 2016, a cyber-security investigation at O’Charley’s identified signs of unauthorized access to the payment card network of O’Charley’s restaurants. The Company retained a cyber security firm to prepare a report (called a “Payment Card Industry Forensic Investigator report” or “PFI report”) describing the incident. The PFI report was submitted to the card networks on June 10, 2016. Based on the PFI report, credit cards used at all O’Charley’s restaurants (other than three franchised locations) from March 18, 2016, to April 8, 2016 may have been affected. To date, the Company has reimbursed Fifth Third Bank for fines arising under the MasterCard Security Rules and Procedures (Merchant Edition) in the amount of $0.6 million. We received a letter from VISA dated September 6, 2017 indicating that 438,248 VISA accounts were affected by the incident. We expect to receive a liability assessment under VISA’s Global Compromised Account Recovery (GCAR) program in November 2017. Any amounts incurred by O’Charley’s pursuant to VISA’s GCAR program, as well as additional amounts imposed by other card issuers, will depend on a variety of factors, including the specific facts and circumstances of the incident (e.g., how many cards were used to make unauthorized purchases) and the exercise of discretion by each card network. O’Charley’s could also face lawsuits by individual cardholders for unauthorized charges if the individuals are not fully compensated by the card brands. However, individual cardholders generally have no liability for unauthorized charges under the card brand rules, and O’Charley’s has received no notice of any such lawsuits to date.
O’Charley’s is the defendant in a lawsuit, Otis v. O’Charley’s, LLC, filed on July 13, 2016, in U.S. District Court, Central District of Illinois. The lawsuit purports to bring a national class action on behalf of all O’Charley’s servers and bartenders under the Fair Labor Standards Act and similar state laws. The complaint alleges that O'Charley's failed to pay plaintiffs the applicable minimum wage and overtime by requiring tipped employees to: (a) spend more than twenty percent of their time performing non-tipped duties, including dishwashing, food preparation, cleaning, maintenance, and other "back of the house" duties; and (b) perform “off the clock” work. Plaintiffs seek damages and declaratory relief. The named plaintiffs and members of the putative class are parties to employment agreements with O’Charley’s that provide, inter alia, for individual arbitration of potential claims and disputes. On October 25, 2016, the District Court entered an Order staying all proceedings in the Otis case pending the United States Supreme Court’s resolution of certain petitions for certiorari filed in several Circuit Courts of Appeals cases that address the issue of whether agreements between employers and employees to arbitrate disputes on an individual basis are enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act. The Order provides that, if certiorari is granted in any of the Circuit Courts of Appeals cases,

16

NOTES TO CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — continued

the stay of the Otis case will continue until the Supreme Court reaches a final decision on the merits in the cases. On January 13, 2017, the Supreme Court granted certiorari in three of the Circuit Courts of Appeals cases that address the enforceability of arbitration agreements. Accordingly, the proceedings in the Otis case are stayed until the Supreme Court reaches a final decision on the merits in the three cases.

Unconditional Purchase Obligations
The Restaurant Group has unconditional purchase obligations with various vendors.  These purchase obligations are primarily food and beverage obligations with fixed commitments in regards to the time period of the contract and the quantities purchased with annual price adjustments that can fluctuate.  We used both historical and projected volume and pricing as of September 30, 2017 to determine the amount of the obligations.

The activities in our segments include the following:
Restaurant Group. This segment consists of the operations of ABRH, in which we have a 55% ownership interest. ABRH and its affiliates are the owners and operators of the O'Charley's, Ninety Nine Restaurants, Village Inn and Bakers Square restaurant and food service concepts, as well as its Legendary Baking bakery operation. This segment also includes the results of the Max & Erma's concept through the date which it was sold, January 25, 2016.
Ceridian. This segment consists of our 33% ownership interest in Ceridian. Ceridian, through its operating subsidiary Ceridian HCM, offers a broad range of services and software designed to help employers more effectively manage employment processes, such as payroll, payroll related tax filing, human resource information systems, employee self-

service, time and labor management, employee assistance and work-life programs, and recruitment and applicant screening. Ceridian HCM's cloud offering, Dayforce, is a cloud solution that meets HCM needs with one employee record and one user experience throughout the application. Dayforce enables organizations to process pay, maintain human resources records, manage benefits enrollment, schedule staff, and find and hire personnel, while monitoring compliance throughout the employee life cycle. We account for our investment in Ceridian under the equity method of accounting and therefore its results of operations do not consolidate into ours. Accordingly, we have presented the elimination of Ceridian's results in the Ceridian Elimination section of the segment presentation above.
Corporate and Other. This segment consists of our share in the operations of certain controlled portfolio companies and other equity investments, including our controlling investment in Fidelity National Timber Resources, Inc., which includes our 87% ownership of FNF NV Brasada, LLC ("Brasada") and Rock Creek Idaho Holdings, LLC, and our minority investments in Triple Tree Holdings LLC, Wine Direct, Inc. and the debt of Colt Defense, LLC ("Colt Defense"), as well as certain intercompany eliminations and taxes. Total assets for this segment as of September 30, 2016 also include the assets of One Digital of $230.7 million.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements regarding our expectations, hopes, intentions or strategies regarding the future. All forward-looking statements included in this document are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. It is important to note that our actual results could vary materially from those forward-looking statements contained herein due to many factors, including, but not limited to: changes in general economic, business and political conditions, including changes in the financial markets; our potential inability to find suitable acquisition candidates, acquisitions in lines of business that will not necessarily be limited to our traditional areas of focus, or difficulties in integrating acquisitions; significant competition that our operating subsidiaries face; risks associated with our Split-Off from FNF, including limitations on our strategic and operating flexibility related to the tax-free nature of the Split-Off and the Investment Company Act of 1940; and other risks detailed in the “Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information,” “Risk Factors” and other sections of our Registration Statement and other filings with the SEC.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Registration Statement for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Overview
For a description of our business, including descriptions of segments and recent business developments, see the discussion under Basis of Financial Statements in Note A to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Report, which is incorporated by reference into this Part I, Item 2.

Business Trends and Conditions
Restaurant Group
The restaurant industry is highly competitive and is often affected by changes in consumer tastes and discretionary spending patterns; changes in general economic conditions; public safety conditions or concerns; demographic trends; weather conditions; the cost of food products, labor, energy and other operating costs; and governmental regulations. Higher labor costs due to state and local minimum wage increases and shopping pattern shifts to e-commerce and “ready to eat” grocery and convenience stores have had a negative impact on restaurant performance, particularly in the casual and family dining restaurants in which the company operates.  
The restaurant industry is also characterized by high capital investments for new restaurants and relatively high fixed or semi-variable restaurant operating expenses.  Because of the high fixed and semi-variable expenses, changes in sales in existing restaurants are generally expected to significantly affect restaurant profitability because many restaurant costs and expenses are not expected to change at the same rate as sales.  Restaurant profitability can also be negatively affected by inflationary and regulatory increases in operating costs and other factors.  The most significant commodities that may affect our cost of food and beverage are beef, seafood, poultry, and dairy, which accounted for approximately half of our overall cost of food and beverage in the past. Generally, temporary increases in these costs are not passed on to guests; however, in the past, we have adjusted menu prices to compensate for increased costs of a more permanent nature.
Average weekly sales per restaurant are typically higher in the first and fourth quarters than in other quarters, and we typically generate a disproportionate share of our earnings from operations in the first and fourth quarters. Holidays, severe weather and other disruptive conditions may impact sales volumes seasonally in some operating regions.
Our revenues in future periods will continue to be subject to these and other factors that are beyond our control and, as a result, are likely to fluctuate.
Ceridian
Over the last several years, a number of factors have significantly affected Ceridian’s results of operations, including its capital restructuring resulting from the initial acquisition by Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("THL") and FNFV LLC of all of the outstanding equity of the Ceridian entities that was completed on November 9, 2007 (such acquisition, the "2007 Merger"), and the related interest expense, the accounting and purchase price allocations from the 2007 Merger, the acquisition in 2012 of the Dayforce legal entities, and Ceridian’s corporate restructuring following the 2013 separation of Ceridian HCM and Comdata. Other factors that have affected Ceridian’s results of operations over the last several years include the levels of customer trust funds held, transaction volumes, price increases, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates (including interest earned on customer trust funds and interest expense on debt), customer employment levels, and its cost savings initiatives. Ceridian is subject to the risks arising from adverse changes in domestic and global economic conditions. Historically low interest rates continue to adversely affect its business, having a negative impact on the interest income generated from funds held in trust for customers. Ceridian believes all of such factors may continue to significantly affect its results of operations.

 Revenues.
Total revenues decreased by $0.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the corresponding period in 2016.Total revenues decreased by $23.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the corresponding period in 2016.
Net loss from continuing operations decreased by $4.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the corresponding period in 2016. Net loss from continuing operations increased by $36.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the corresponding period in 2016.
The change in revenue is discussed in further detail at the segment level below.    
Expenses.
Our operating expenses consist primarily of cost of restaurant revenue, personnel costs, other operating expenses, and depreciation and amortization.
Cost of restaurant revenue includes cost of food and beverage, primarily the costs of beef, groceries, produce, seafood, poultry and alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, net of vendor discounts and rebates, payroll and related costs and expenses directly relating to restaurant level activities, and restaurant operating costs including occupancy and other operating expenses at the restaurant level.
Personnel costs include base salaries, commissions, benefits, stock-based compensation and bonuses paid to employees. Personnel costs that are directly attributable to the operations of the Restaurant Group are included in Cost of restaurant revenue.

Other operating expenses include professional fees, advertising costs and travel expenses.
Depreciation and amortization expense consists of our depreciation related to investments in property and equipment as well as amortization of intangible assets.
The change in expenses from our operating segments is discussed in further detail at the segment level below.
Income tax (benefit) expense was $(2.6) million and $10.5 million in the three-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $(27.8) million and $3.0 million in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Income tax (benefit) expense as a percentage of (loss) earnings before income taxes was 12% and (244)% for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and 47% and 25% for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Income tax expense as a percentage of earnings before income taxes fluctuates depending on our estimate of ultimate income tax liability and changes in the characteristics of net earnings, such as the weighting of operating income versus investment income. The increase in income tax expense as a percentage of earnings before income taxes from the three-month period ended September 30, 2016 to the comparable 2017 period was primarily driven by fluctuations in equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates period over period. The increase in income tax as a percentage of earnings before income taxes from the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 to the comparable 2017 period was primarily related to discrete taxable items associated with the sale of One Digital and the aforementioned factors affecting the three month period.
Equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates was $4.6 million and $12.9 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $13.9 million and $17.9 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The equity in losses in 2017 and 2016 consisted primarily of net losses related to our investment in Ceridian, offset by earnings at various other unconsolidated affiliates, which is described further at the segment level below.

Total revenues for the Restaurant group segment decreased $3.0 million, or 1%, in the three months ended September 30, 2017 and decreased $28.0 million, or 3%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, from the corresponding periods in 2016. The decrease in the three-month period is primarily attributable to lower same store sales. The decrease in the nine-month period is primarily attributable to lower same store sales and, to a lesser extent, the sale of the Max & Erma's concept in January 2016.
Cost of restaurant revenue increased by $6.7 million, or 3%, in the three months ended September 30, 2017 and increased $1.2 million, or less than 1%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, from the corresponding periods in 2016. Cost of restaurant revenue as a percentage of restaurant revenue were approximately 90% and 87% in the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively and approximately 88% and 85% in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase in cost of restaurant revenue as a percentage of restaurant revenue was primarily driven by reduced operating leverage associated with lower same store sales, increased hourly labor costs, and an increase in value promotions offered in the 2017 periods.

Loss from continuing operations before income taxes increased by $14.3 million, or 340%, in the three months ended September 30, 2017, and earnings from continuing operations before income taxes decreased by $26.2 million, or 1,638%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from the corresponding periods in 2016. The increase in loss and decrease in earnings was primarily attributable to the factors discussed above.
Ceridian
We own a 33% economic interest in Ceridian, which operates its subsidiary Ceridian HCM, Inc. (Ceridian HCM). Ceridian HCM offers a broad range of services and software designed to help employers more effectively manage employment processes, such as payroll, payroll related tax filing, human resource information systems, employee self-service, time and labor management, employee assistance and work-life programs, and recruitment and applicant screening. Its technology-based services are typically provided through long-term customer relationships that result in a high level of recurring revenue. Its operations are primarily located in the U.S. and Canada. Ceridian HCM’s business has transformed from a legacy service-bureau model into a cloud-based provider model, and in the second half of 2016, cloud revenue surpassed bureau revenue for the first time. Ceridian HCM’s flagship cloud offering, Dayforce, is a cloud solution that meets HCM needs with one employee record and one user experience throughout the application. Built on a single database, Dayforce enables organizations to process pay, maintain human resources records, manage benefits enrollment, schedule staff, and find and hire employees, while monitoring compliance throughout the employee life cycle.
Corporate and Other
The Corporate and Other segment consists of certain other unallocated corporate overhead expenses, and other smaller investments.
The Corporate and Other segment generated revenues of $11.3 million and $8.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $21.7 million and $17.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase of $2.4 million in the three-month period and the increase of $4.7 million in the nine-month period are primarily attributable to the acquisition and growth of Brasada offset by individually insignificant decreases at other investments.
Other operating expenses were $9.2 million and $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $22.3 million and $10.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase in both periods is primarily attributable to increased cost at our real estate subsidiaries primarily related to the acquisition of Brasada and costs associated with our separation from FNF.
Personnel costs were $5.3 million and $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively and $40.1 million and $12.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase in the nine-month period is attributable to Investment Success Incentive Program bonuses associated with the sale of OneDigital.
This segment generated pretax (losses) earnings of $(2.7) million and $(0.1) million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $(34.3) million and $10.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The change in earnings is attributable to the aforementioned changes in earnings and expenses.
Discontinued Operations
        As a result of the sale of OneDigital, the financial results of OneDigital have been reclassified to discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. Earnings from discontinued operations were $0.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and $147.7 million and $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase in the nine-month period is primarily attributable to the after-tax gain on the sale of OneDigital of $149.7 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Requirements. Our current cash requirements include personnel costs, operating expenses, taxes, payments of interest and principal on our debt, capital expenditures, business acquisitions, and stock repurchases. There are no restrictions on our retained earnings regarding our ability to pay dividends to stockholders, although there are limits on the ability of certain subsidiaries to pay dividends to us, as a result of provisions in certain debt agreements. The declaration of any future dividends is at the discretion of our board of directors.
We continually assess our capital allocation strategy, including decisions relating to reducing debt, repurchasing our stock, and/or conserving cash. We believe that all anticipated cash requirements for current operations will be met from internally generated funds, through cash generated by investment securities, potential sales of non-strategic assets, and borrowings on existing credit facilities. Our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements are monitored regularly to ensure that we can meet our cash requirements. We forecast the needs of all of our subsidiaries and periodically review their short-term and long-term projected sources and uses of funds, as well as the asset, liability, investment and cash flow assumptions underlying such forecasts.

Table of Contents


We are focused on evaluating our assets and investments as potential vehicles for creating liquidity. Our intent is to use that liquidity for general corporate purposes, including potentially reducing debt, repurchasing shares of our stock, other strategic initiatives and/or conserving cash.
Cash flow from operations will be used for general corporate purposes including to reinvest in operating subsidiaries, repurchase stock, pursue other strategic initiatives and/or conserve cash.
Operating Cash Flow. Our cash flows (used in) provided by operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 totaled $(111.4) million and $15.2 million, respectively. The decrease of $126.6 million is primarily attributable to increased payments for income taxes in the current period.
Investing Cash Flows. Our cash provided by (used in) investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were $301.7 million and $(162.8) million, respectively. The increase in cash provided by (decrease in cash used in) investing activities of $464.5 million from the 2017 period to the 2016 period is primarily attributable to proceeds from the sale of One Digital of $326.0 million, decreased investments in unconsolidated affiliates of $65.9 million, and lower spending on other investments in the 2017 period.
Capital Expenditures. Total capital expenditures for property and equipment and other intangible assets were $29.5 million and $44.4 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Capital expenditures in the 2017 period primarily consist of purchases of property, equipment and software in our Restaurant Group segment. The decrease in expenditures in the 2017 period from the 2016 period is reflective of a decrease in spending in our Restaurant Group segment and decreased spending at OneDigital due to its sale in the middle of the 2017 period.
Financing Cash Flows. Our cash flows used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were $1.2 million and $14.5 million, respectively. The decrease in cash used in financing activities of $13.3 million from the 2017 period to the 2016 period is primarily attributable to a decrease in net borrowings, net of principal payments.
Financing Arrangements. For a description of our financing arrangements see Note F included in Item 1 of Part 1 of this Quarterly Report, which is incorporated by reference into this Item 2 of Part I.
Seasonality. There have been no material changes to the seasonality experienced in our businesses from those described for the period as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in our Registration Statement.
Contractual Obligations. Our long term contractual obligations generally include our credit agreements and other debt facilities, operating lease payments on certain of our premises and equipment and purchase obligations of the Restaurant Group.
Purchase obligations include agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable, are legally binding and specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. The Restaurant Group has unconditional purchase obligations with various vendors, primarily related to food and beverage obligations with fixed commitments in regards to the time period of the contract and the quantities purchased with annual price adjustments that can fluctuate. Future purchase obligations are estimated by assuming historical purchase activity over the remaining, non-cancellable terms of the various agreements. For agreements with minimum purchase obligations, at least the minimum amounts we are legally required to purchase are included. These agreements do not include fixed delivery terms. We used both historical and projected volume and pricing as of September 30, 2017 to determine the amount of the obligations.
As of September 30, 2017, our required annual payments relating to these contractual obligations were as follows:

Capital Stock Transactions. On November 17, 2017, FNF completed the previously announced Split-off of its FNFV Group and redeemed each outstanding share of its FNFV Group common stock, par value $0.0001, for one share of common stock, par value $0.0001, of Cannae (NYSE: CNNE), with cash in lieu of fractional shares. As of November 17, 2017, FNF and Cannae are separate publicly traded companies.
On November 17, 2017, certain subsidiaries of FNF contributed an aggregate of $100.0 million to us in exchange for 5,706,134 shares of Cannae common stock.

Table of Contents


On February 18, 2016, FNF's Board of Directors approved a new FNFV Group common stock three-year stock repurchase program (the "FNFV Repurchase Program"), effective March 1, 2016, under which the Company may repurchase up to 15 million shares of FNFV Group common stock through February 28, 2019. Pursuant to the authorization, the Company was permitted to purchase shares of FNFV Group common stock from time to time in the open market at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions. The Company repurchased 1,491,800 FNFV Group shares under this program during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 for $23 million, or an average of $15.22 per share. Since the original commencement of the program through market close on October 31, 2017, we have repurchased a total of 5,446,800 shares for $67.8 million, or an average of $12.95 per share. Following the Split-Off, we do not have a similar share repurchase authorization to purchase Cannae shares.
Equity Security Investments. Our equity security investments may be subject to significant volatility. Should the fair value of these investments fall below our cost basis and/or the financial condition or prospects of these companies deteriorate, we may determine in a future period that this decline in fair value is other-than-temporary, requiring that an impairment loss be recognized in the period such a determination is made.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. We do not engage in off-balance sheet activities other than facility and equipment operating leasing arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies described in our Registration Statement.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
There have been no material changes in the market risks described in our Registration Statement.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
a.Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.  The Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.  Based on that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.  Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

b.Changes in internal controls.  There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this quarterly report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II: OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
See discussion of legal proceedings in Note G to the Condensed Combined Financial Statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Report, which is incorporated by reference into this Item 1 of Part II.
Item 1A.      Risk Factors
In addition to the significant risks and uncertainties described in our Registration Statement, we identified the following additional risks as a result of the acquisition of T-System. See "Recent Developments" in Note 1 to our condensed combined financial statements included in Item 1 of Part 1 of this report.
The healthcare industry is heavily regulated at the local, state and federal levels. T-System's failure to comply with regulatory requirements could create liability for us, result in adverse publicity and negatively affect T-System's business.
The healthcare industry is heavily regulated and is constantly evolving due to the changing political, legislative and regulatory landscapes. In some instances, the impact of these regulations on T-System's business is direct to the extent that they are subject to these laws and regulations ourselves. However, these regulations also impact its business indirectly as, in a number of circumstances, T-System's solutions and services must be capable of being used by its customers in a way that complies with those laws and regulations, even though T-System's may not be directly regulated by the specific healthcare laws and regulations. There is a significant number of wide-ranging regulations, including regulations in the areas of healthcare fraud, e-prescribing, claims processing and transmission, medical devices, the security and privacy of patient data, the ARRA meaningful use program, and interoperability standards, that may be directly or indirectly applicable to T-System's operations and relationships or the business practices of its customers.
Economic, market and other factors may cause a decline in spending for information technology and services by T-System's current and prospective customers which may result in less demand for its products, lower prices and, consequently, lower revenues and a lower revenue growth rate.
The purchase of T-System's information system involves a significant financial commitment by its customers. At the same time, the healthcare industry faces significant financial pressures that could adversely affect overall spending on healthcare information technology and services. For example, the recent actual and potential reductions in federal and state funding for Medicare and Medicaid has caused hospitals to reduce, eliminate or postpone information technology related and other spending. To the extent spending for healthcare information technology and services declines or increases slower than T-System's anticipates, demand for its products and services, as well as the prices it charges, could be adversely affected. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that T-System will be able to increase or maintain its revenues or its revenue growth rate.
If T-System's security is breached, it could be subject to liability, and clients could be deterred from using its products and services.
T-System's business relies on the secure electronic transmission, storage and hosting of sensitive information, including PHI, financial information and other sensitive information relating to its clients, company and workforce. As a result, T-System faces risk of a deliberate or unintentional incident involving unauthorized access to its computer systems or data that could result in the misappropriation or loss of assets or the disclosure of sensitive information, the corruption of data, or other disruption of its business operations. Similarly, denial-of-service, ransomware or other Internet-based attacks may range from mere vandalism of T-System's electronic systems to systematic theft of sensitive information and intellectual property. We believe that, in recent years, companies in T-System's industry have been targeted by such events with increasing frequency, primarily due to the increasing value of healthcare-related data.
Various risks could affect T-System's worldwide operations, exposing it to significant costs.
T-System conducts operations in the United States, India, and the Philippines, either directly or through its service providers. Such worldwide operations expose T-System to potential operational disruptions and costs as a result of a wide variety of events, including local inflation or economic downturn, currency exchange fluctuations, political turmoil, terrorism, labor issues, natural disasters, unfavorable intellectual property protection, and pandemics. Any such disruptions or costs could have a negative effect on T-System's ability to provide its services or meet its contractual obligations, the cost of its services, client and user satisfaction, its ability to attract or maintain clients and users, and, ultimately, its profits.

Appendix A
Overview and Purpose
of the Award

The Award is a performance-based, cash incentive award that provides the Grantee the opportunity to share in the Company’s “ROI” (as defined below) with respect to its interest in the following entity:
T-System Holdings (“T-System”)

T-System is referred to herein as the “Portfolio Company.” The shares or membership interests (as applicable) held by the Company in the Portfolio Company (and any securities into which or in exchange for which such shares or membership interests are converted or exchanged in connection with a recapitalization, share exchange, merger, reorganization, equity restructuring or other similar transaction, as well as any additional securities issued to the Company in respect of such shares or membership interests (including, by way of example, stock dividends or shares of a subsidiary of the Portfolio Company issued to the Company in a spin off)) are referred to herein as the “Securities”).
To the extent a “Liquidity Event” (defined below) occurs with respect to the Portfolio Company between the effective date of grant and December 31, 2024 (the “Performance Period”), ten (10%) percent of any ROI relating to such Liquidity Event (calculated as described below) will be credited to a notional incentive pool established for purposes of this program (the “ROI Incentive Pool”), and, to the extent the other “Payment Conditions” (described below) are satisfied, the Grantee will be entitled to receive a payment based on the Grantee’s Share of the ROI Incentive Pool (as reflect on the first page of the Notice).
The purpose of the Award is to help the Company maximize its ROI with respect to the Portfolio Company by aligning a portion of the Grantee’s long-term incentive compensation with the Company’s ROI relating to the Portfolio Company. The Award is also designed to aid in retention of the Grantee by imposing service-based vesting conditions on payments under the Award.
Liquidity Events
Payments will only be made under the Award if a “Liquidity Event” occurs during the Performance Period (and the other conditions described herein are satisfied). For purposes of the Award, a “Liquidity Event” means (a) a Public Offering (defined below) of the Securities of the Portfolio Company, (b) a sale or other disposition of the Securities of the Portfolio Company (whether pursuant to a merger or other transaction) in connection with which consideration (whether cash or securities) is received or receivable by the Company, (c) a spin off, split off or similar transaction in connection with which the Company’s stockholders receive Securities of the Portfolio Company, (d) a disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Portfolio Company in connection with which proceeds from such sale or disposition are paid or payable to the Company, (e) a recapitalization of the Portfolio Company in connection with which an extraordinary dividend or return of capital is paid to the Company (provided the amount of such extraordinary dividend or return of capital exceeds the “Base Value” (as defined below) of the Securities), (f) any other transaction or event (other than payment of ordinary dividends) in connection with which the ROI on the Portfolio Company investment can be determined by third party observable measures (such as a public stock price) or (g) a Change in Control that occurs on or after one year following the effective date of grant.
For purposes of the Award, the term “Public Offering” means an initial public offering or any subsequent public offering of the Securities of the Portfolio Company pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which public offering has been declared effective by the Securities and





Exchange Commission (or, in the case of an Up-C or similar structure, such an initial public offering of the securities of an affiliate of the Portfolio Company). If the Company retains any Securities in the Portfolio Company following a Public Offering of such Portfolio Company’s Securities, a subsequent Liquidity Event may occur with respect to such retained Securities; provided, however, that the Base Amount of such retained Securities shall be increased at the time of the Public Offering to equal the value of the Securities at the time of the Public Offering (with such value determined as described below under “ROI”), so that no amount is credited or paid twice on the same ROI.
For the avoidance of doubt, a Liquidity Event described above shall be deemed to occur whether or not (i) the Company has disposed of its Securities in connection with such Liquidity Event (ii) the Company is subject to a lockup or other restriction on transfer or disposition of the Securities (provided that such restriction on transfer or disposition is temporary) and/or (iii) the consideration (or part of the consideration) payable to the Company is subject to contingencies (including, by way of example, a transaction in which part of the transaction consideration is contingent upon an earnout and/or held in escrow to satisfy indemnity claims).
ROI
For purposes of the Award, “ROI” means the excess, if any, of “A” over “B,”
where “A” equals, as the case may be, (i) the amount of cash (or Fair Market Value of securities or other property) received or receivable by the Company in connection with a Liquidity Event (other than a Public Offering, a spin off, split off or similar transaction in connection with which the Company’s stockholders receive Securities of the Portfolio Company, or a Change in Control), (ii) in the case of a Public Offering, the fair market value (determined as described below) of the Securities of the Portfolio Company with respect to which the Public Offering is occurring that are held (directly or indirectly) by the Company immediately before the Public Offering, (iii) in the case of a spin off, split off or similar transaction in connection with which the Company’s stockholders receive Securities of the Portfolio Company, the fair market value (determined as described below) of the Securities of the Portfolio Company with respect to which the spin off, split off or similar transaction is occurring that are held (directly or indirectly) by the Company immediately before the spin off, split off or similar transaction (regardless of the number of such Securities actually distributed to the Company’s stockholders), and (iv) in the case of a Change in Control that constitutes a Liquidity Event, the fair market value (determined as of immediately before the Change in Control) of the aggregate of the Company’s investments in the Portfolio Company held (directly or indirectly) by the Company immediately before the Change in Control, in each case, together with the amount of cash (other than ordinary dividends) and the Fair Market Value of securities or other property received during the Performance Period and prior to the Liquidity Event (to the extent not previously taken into account under the Award) for or with respect to the Securities of the Portfolio Company with respect to which the Liquidity Event occurs, including, by way of example, extraordinary dividends or returns of capital that do not constitute Liquidity Events, and

“B” equals the Base Amount (as defined below) of the Securities with respect to which the Liquidity Event occurs.

Except as otherwise provided below in this paragraph, to the extent a sale occurs with respect to less than all of the Securities of the Portfolio Company then held (directly or indirectly) by the Company, ROI shall be measured solely with respect to the Securities that are sold. For example, if the Company sells 50% of the total Securities it holds in the Portfolio Company, ROI shall be based on the excess, if any, of the





consideration received or receivable with respect to the sold Securities, over the portion of the Base Amount allocable to such sold Securities. In the case of a Public Offering or a spin off, split off or similar transaction, the Liquidity Event shall be treated as occurring with respect to all of the Securities of the Portfolio Company held by the Company immediately before such event or transaction. In the case of a Change in Control that occurs on or after July 1, 2015, the Liquidity Event shall be treated as occurring with respect to the aggregate of the Company’s investments in the Portfolio Company held by the Company immediately before the Change in Control.
To the extent any consideration receivable by the Company for or in respect of Securities in connection with a Liquidity Event is subject to contingencies or the payment of such consideration is delayed (including, by way of example, pursuant to an earnout or indemnity escrow), the maximum amount that could be received by the Company shall be treated as received or receivable when calculating ROI; provided, however, that the Committee may, through its exercise of negative discretion, determine whether and to what extent such consideration should not be so taken into account when calculating ROI (or, alternatively, the extent to which any crediting of the ROI Incentive Pool and/or the Grantee’s Award Account should, instead, be banked (as described below)), taking into account, among other factors, the likelihood that such amounts will be realized by the Company.
Fair Market Value
In the case of a Public Offering, the fair market value of the Securities of the Portfolio Company shall be based on the implied value of the Portfolio Company’s Securities held by the Company immediately before the Public Offering (based on the volume weighted average trading price of the securities offered in the Public Offering over the first three trading days following the Public Offering) and shall include the aggregate fair market value of all of the Securities of the applicable Portfolio Company then held (directly or indirectly) by the Company, regardless of whether and when the Company sells such Securities in the Public Offering and regardless of whether the Company is subject to a lockup or other restriction on transfer or disposition of the Securities (provided that such restriction on transfer or disposition is temporary); provided, however, that the Committee may, through its exercise of negative discretion, determine whether and to what extent such a lockup or other restriction on transfer or disposition should reduce the amount taken into account when calculating ROI (or, alternatively, the extent to which any crediting of the ROI Incentive Pool and/or the Grantee’s Award Account should, instead, be banked (as described below)). For example, if (x) the Portfolio Company has 10 million shares of common stock outstanding immediately following the Public Offering, (y) the Company owns 4 million shares of common stock (40%) immediately prior to the Public Offering, with a Base Amount of $100 million, and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Portfolio Company’s securities offered in the Public Offering over the first three trading days following the Public Offering is $35.00, the implied fair market value of the Portfolio Company would be $350 million and the resulting ROI would be $40 million ($140 million (40% of $350 million), less the $100 million Base Amount), subject to the Committee’s authority to reduce such ROI in its sole discretion.
In the case of a spin off, split off or similar transaction in connection with which the Company’s stockholders receive Securities of the Portfolio Company, the fair market value (determined as described below) of the Securities of the Portfolio Company with respect to which the spin off, split off or similar transaction is occurring will be based on the implied value of all of the Portfolio Company’s Securities held by the Company immediately before the spin off, split off or similar transaction (based on the volume weighted average trading price of the Portfolio Company’s Securities over the first three trading days following the spin off, split off or similar transaction).
In the case of a Change in Control that constitutes a Liquidity Event, the fair market value (determined as of immediately before the Change in Control) of the aggregate of the Company’s investments in the Portfolio





Company held (directly or indirectly) by the Company immediately before the Change in Control will be determined in the case of (x) publicly-traded Securities, based on the volume weighted average trading price of the Securities over the first three trading days preceding the Change in Control and (y) Investments or Securities that are not publicly traded, based on the Fair Market Value of such Securities as determined in good faith by the Committee before the Change in Control.
Without limiting the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, exclude from any ROI calculation any amounts to the extent it determines that inclusion of such amounts would be inconsistent with the spirit and intent of the Award or for any other reason. The Committee’s determination of ROI shall be final and binding.
Base Amount
For purposes of the Award, the value of the Securities held by the Company in the Portfolio Company as of the effective date of grant (the “Base Amount”) is $200,000,000].
Crediting of ROI Incentive Pool
Promptly following each Liquidity Event that occurs during the Performance Period, ten (10%) percent of any ROI attributable to the Liquidity Event will be credited to the ROI Incentive Pool, subject to the Committee’s discretion to reduce, eliminate or bank (as described below) such amounts.
Crediting of Grantee’s Award Account
Simultaneous with the crediting of the ROI Incentive Pool, the Company will also credit (separately with respect to each Liquidity Event) to a bookkeeping account in the Grantee’s name (the “Grantee’s Award Account”) an amount equal to (i) [•]% of the amount credited to the ROI Incentive Pool with respect to the Liquidity Event; provided, however, that pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Plan, no more than $25,000,000 will be credited to the Grantee’s Award Account pursuant to the Award. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, if, after the Effective Date of Grant, the Grantee receives any additional Investment Success Incentive Awards relating to the Portfolio Company and measuring ROI over one or more overlapping time periods, to avoid duplication, the amount(s) that would otherwise be credited with respect to such Portfolio Company to the Grantee’s award account under such additional award(s) will be reduced so that the Grantee does not receive a credit under more than one award for the same ROI. For purposes of the prior sentence, to the extent a measurement period in a subsequent award includes some, but not all, of the same days included in a Measurement Period under the Award (any such days not covered by both measurement periods, a “Non-Overlapping Period”), no reduction to the amount credited under a subsequent award shall be made with respect to ROI attributable to the Non-Overlapping Period.
The ROI Incentive Pool and the Grantee’s Award Account are notional bookkeeping accounts only and are used solely to determine the amounts that may become payable to the Grantee and, in the case of the ROI Incentive Pool, all participating employees. Any rights arising under the Award are unfunded and unsecured and may not be transferred, alienated, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or encumbered, in any way. At any time prior to a Change in Control, the Committee may, in its discretion, reduce the amounts credited to the ROI Incentive Pool and/or the Grantee’s Award Account. Reasons for such reduction may include, without limitation, realization upon the sale of the Portfolio Company of gain that is less than the ROI upon which a prior credit or payment was made under the Award.





Banked Amounts
To the extent the Committee, through its exercise of negative discretion, chooses to reduce or eliminate any amount that would otherwise be contributed to the ROI Incentive Pool and/or the Grantee’s Award Account, the Committee may either declare that the amount not contributed or paid due to such exercise of negative discretion shall be (a) forfeited and no longer available for future crediting to the Grantee’s Award Account (in which case such amount (and the ROI to which it relates) shall be treated as if credited, and the amount that would have been paid with respect thereto shall be treated as if paid, for purposes of determining the amount to be credited upon a future Liquidity Event relating to the same Portfolio Company)), or (b) credited to the Grantee’s Award Account, but not paid when it otherwise would have been paid (any such credited, but not paid amount, a “Banked Amount”), in which case, except as provided in Section 3 of the Award Agreement, such Banked Amount shall remain in the Grantee’s Award Account until the Committee determines in its sole discretion that the Banked Amount will be forfeited or paid to the Grantee, which may include a subsequent Liquidity Event or such other date or event selected by the Committee. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3 of the Award Agreement, upon a termination of the Grantee’s employment for any reason, any Banked Amounts in the Grantee’s Award Account shall immediately be forfeited and the Grantee shall no longer have any rights with respect thereto. Banked amounts shall not accrue interest or other earnings. At any time prior to a Change in Control, the Committee may, in its discretion, reduce or eliminate a Grantee’s Banked Amount.
Payment
Except as provided above with respect to payment of Banked Amounts, to become entitled to a payment under the Award, (a) a Liquidity Event must occur, (b) ROI must be generated by the Liquidity Event, and (c), except as otherwise provided in Section 3 of the Award Agreement, the Grantee must have remained continuously employed with the Company or a Subsidiary through the payment date (together, the “Payment Conditions”).
If all of the Payment Conditions are satisfied, then, subject to any exercise of negative discretion by the Committee to reduce, eliminate or bank the amounts otherwise payable with respect to such Liquidity Event, as soon as practicable following the Committee’s determination (and in the case of an Award intended to qualify as performance-based compensation for purposes of Code Section 162(m), following the Committee’s written certification) of the ROI, the amount credited to the Grantee’s Award Account with respect to such Liquidity Event shall be paid to the Grantee in a lump sum cash payment, less applicable tax withholdings.
Annual Incentives
If the sum of the amounts paid to the Grantee in a calendar year pursuant to the Award and any other Investment Success Incentive Awards granted after the Effective Date of Grant is greater than fifty (50%) percent of the Grantee’s regular annual cash incentive from the Company relating to the same calendar year (payable in the following calendar year), then, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Grantee’s regular annual cash incentive shall be reduced by fifty (50%) percent. Notwithstanding anything contained in any other plan or agreement to the contrary, the Grantee shall not be permitted to defer under any elective nonqualified deferred compensation plan any regular annual cash incentive that could be reduced pursuant to the preceding sentence.

Investment Success Incentive Award Agreement

SECTION 1.
GRANT OF AWARD


(a)Award. On the terms and conditions set forth in the Notice of Investment Success Incentive Award (including Appendix A, the “Notice”) and this Investment Success Incentive Award Agreement (the “Award Agreement”), the Company grants to the Grantee on the Effective Date of Grant the Award set forth in the Notice. The Award represents the right to receive one or more cash payments in accordance with Appendix A if the conditions set forth in Appendix A and the Award Agreement are satisfied.

(b)Plan and Defined Terms. The Award is granted pursuant to the Plan, and shall be considered an “Other Award” for purposes of the Plan. Except as expressly provided otherwise herein, all applicable terms, provisions, and conditions set forth in the Plan and not set forth herein are hereby incorporated by reference herein. All capitalized terms that are used in the Notice or the Award Agreement and not otherwise defined therein or herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.

SECTION 2.    TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

If the Grantee’s employment with the Company and all Subsidiaries is terminated for any reason, including death or Disability, the Award shall immediately be forfeited and the Grantee shall not be entitled to any further payments with respect to the Award. For purposes of the Award, references to employment shall be read to mean employment and/or provision of substantial services as a member of a board of directors or board of managers of the Company or a Subsidiary, and termination of employment (and similar terms) shall mean termination of employment and service in all such capacities. Transitioning from an employment to a board of directors position, or from a board of directors position to an employment position, shall not constitute a termination of employment provided the Grantee is providing substantial services in all such capacities.
SECTION 3.    CHANGE IN CONTROL

If a Change in Control occurs on or after one year after date of grant, and the Grantee has remained continuously employed with the Company or a Subsidiary through the date of the Change in Control, a Liquidity Event shall be deemed to have occurred as of the date of the Change in Control and ROI shall be calculated with respect to the aggregate of the Company’s investments in the Portfolio Company held by the Company as of immediately before the Change in Control, with such ROI calculation to be made in accordance with Appendix A (without regard to the provisions in Appendix A that authorize the Committee to reduce, eliminate or bank amounts in determining ROI). To the extent there is any such ROI recognized in connection with the Change in Control, the Grantee shall be entitled to receive a lump sum cash payment if the Grantee either remains employed with the Company or a Subsidiary through the payment date or is terminated without “Cause” (as defined below) on or before the payment date. The amount of the payment shall equal the sum of the amount determined in accordance with Appendix A as a result of the Change in Control, together with any Banked Amounts that were unpaid as of the date of the Change in Control, less applicable tax withholdings. The payment shall occur at, or promptly (and in all events within 10 days) following, the closing of the Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything to contrary in the Plan, the Notice or the Award Agreement, if a Change in Control occurs on or after one year after date of grant, the Committee may not reduce or eliminate (through the exercise of negative discretion or otherwise) any amounts that are determined to be





payable pursuant to the terms of Appendix A (without regard to the provisions in Appendix A that authorize the Committee to reduce, eliminate or bank amounts in determining ROI) in connection with the Change in Control or any Banked Amounts. A Change in Control occurring before one year after date of grant will not constitute a Liquidity Event.
For purposes hereof, the term “Cause” shall have the meaning set forth in the Grantee’s employment or similar agreement with the Company or a Subsidiary or, in the absence thereof, shall mean a termination by the Company or a Subsidiary based upon the Grantee’s: (i) persistent failure to perform duties consistent with a commercially reasonable standard of care (other than due to a physical or mental impairment or due to an action or inaction directed by the Company or a Subsidiary); (ii) willful neglect of duties (other than due to a physical or mental impairment or due to an action or inaction directed by the Company); (iii) conviction of, or pleading nolo contendere to, criminal or other illegal activities involving dishonesty; (iv) material breach of a material agreement with the Company or a Subsidiary; or (v) failure to materially cooperate with or impeding an investigation authorized by the Board.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
(a)Tax Withholding. The Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall have the power and right to deduct or withhold, or require the Grantee to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and local taxes (including the Grantee’s FICA obligations) required by law to be withheld with respect to the Award.
(b)Ratification of Actions. By accepting the Award Agreement, the Grantee and each person claiming under or through the Grantee shall be conclusively deemed to have indicated the Grantee’s acceptance and ratification of, and consent to, any action taken under the Plan, the Notice or the Award Agreement by the Company, the Board or the Committee.

(c)Notice. Any notice required by the terms of the Award Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or upon deposit with the United States Postal Service, by registered or certified mail, with postage and fees prepaid. Notice shall be addressed to the Company at its principal executive office and to the Grantee at the address that he or she most recently provided in writing to the Company.
(d)Choice of Law. The Award Agreement and the Notice shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any conflicts of law or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise cause the Plan, the Award Agreement or the Notice to be governed by or construed in accordance with the substantive law of another jurisdiction.
(e)Modification or Amendment. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4(k) of the Award Agreement, the Notice and the Award Agreement may only be modified or amended by written agreement executed by the parties hereto.
(f)Severability. In the event any provision of the Award Agreement shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Award Agreement, and the Award Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision had not been included.
(g)Compensation under Other Arrangements. Amounts earned with respect to the Award shall not be included in any calculation of severance or change in control benefits or payments under any employment agreement or other compensatory arrangement.
(h)References to Plan and Headings. All references to the Plan shall be deemed references to the Plan as may be amended from time to time. Headings in the Notice and Award Agreement are for convenience and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of any of the provisions hereof.
(i)Entire Agreement. The Notice (including Appendix A) and the Award Agreement are the entire agreement between the Company and the Grantee relating to the subject matter thereof and hereof and





supersede all prior agreements and understandings (including verbal agreements) between the Company and the Grantee relating to such subject matter.
(j)Clawback. All amounts paid under the Award shall be subject to the Company’s policy regarding clawback of incentive compensation, as such policy may be amended from time to time.
(k)Section 409A Compliance. It is intended that the Award qualify as a “short-term deferral” for purposes of Section 409A and shall be interpreted accordingly; provided, however, that (i) to the extent it is determined that the Award is subject to Section 409A, it is intended that the Award comply with the requirements of Section 409A, and the Plan, the Notice and the Award Agreement shall be interpreted accordingly and any provision thereof or hereof that would cause the Award to fail to comply with Section 409A will have no force or effect until amended to comply therewith (which amendment may be made without the Grantee’s consent and may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Section 409A) and (ii) the Company will consult with the Grantee in good faith regarding the implementation of the provisions of this Section 4(k). The Grantee shall not be entitled to indemnification or other reimbursement for any taxes or other expenses incurred as a result of the applicability of Section 409A to the Award and neither the Company nor any of its employees or representatives shall have any liability to Grantee with respect to Section 409A.

Restricted Stock Award Agreement

Section 1.
GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK

(a)     Restricted Stock. On the terms and conditions set forth in the Notice of Restricted Stock Grant and this Restricted Stock Award Agreement (the “Agreement”), the Company grants to the Grantee on the Effective Date of Grant the Shares of Restricted Stock (the “Restricted Stock”) set forth in the Notice of Restricted Stock Grant.

(b)     Plan and Defined Terms. The Restricted Stock is granted pursuant to the Plan. All terms, provisions, and conditions applicable to the Restricted Stock set forth in the Plan and not set forth herein are hereby incorporated by reference herein. To the extent any provision hereof is inconsistent with a provision of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan will govern. All capitalized terms that are used in the Notice of Restricted Stock Grant or this Agreement and not otherwise defined therein or herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.

Section 2.
FORFEITURE AND TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS

(a)    Forfeiture. Except as otherwise provided in Grantee’s employment, director services or similar agreement in effect at the time of the employment termination:

(i)    If the Grantee’s employment or service as a Director or Consultant is terminated for any reason other than death, or Disability (as defined below), the Grantee shall, for no consideration, forfeit to the Company the Shares of Restricted Stock to the extent such Shares are subject to a Period of Restriction at the time of such termination.

(ii)    If the Grantee’s employment or service as a Director or Consultant is terminated due to the Grantee’s death or Disability, a portion of the Shares which on the date of termination of employment remain subject to a Period of Restriction (as defined in Exhibit A) shall vest and become free of the forfeiture and transfer restrictions contained in the Agreement (except as otherwise provided in Section 2(b) of this Agreement). The portion which shall vest shall be determined by the following formula (rounded to the nearest whole Share):

(A x B) - C, where

A = the total number of Shares granted under this Agreement,

B = the number of completed months to the date of termination of employment since the Effective Date of Grant divided by 36, and

C = the number of Shares granted under this Agreement which vested on or prior to the date of termination of employment.

All Shares that are subject to a Period of Restriction on the date of termination of employment or service as a Director or Consultant and which will not be vested pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii) above, shall be forfeited to the Company, for no consideration.






(iii)    The term “Disability” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Grantee’s employment, director services or similar agreement with the Company. If the Grantee’s employment, director services or similar agreement does not define the term “Disability,” or if the Grantee has not entered into an employment, director services or similar agreement with the Company or any Subsidiary, the term “Disability” shall mean the Grantee’s entitlement to long-term disability benefits pursuant to the long-term disability plan maintained by the Company or in which the Company’s employees participate.

(b)    Transfer Restrictions. During the Period of Restriction, the Restricted Stock may not be sold, assigned, pledged, exchanged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred, encumbered or disposed of, to the extent such Shares are subject to a Period of Restriction.

(c)     Holding Period. If and when (i) the Grantee is an Officer (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act), and (ii) Grantee does not hold Shares with a value sufficient to satisfy the applicable stock ownership guidelines of the Company in place at that time, then Grantee must retain 50% of the Shares acquired by Grantee as a result of the lapse of a Period of Restriction (excluding from the calculation any Shares withheld for purposes of satisfying Grantee’s tax obligations in connection with such lapse of a Period of Restriction) until such time as the value of the Shares remaining in Grantee’s possession following any sale, assignment, pledge, exchange, gift or other transfer of the Shares shall be sufficient to meet any applicable stock ownership guidelines of the Company in place at that time. For the avoidance of doubt, at any time when Grantee holds, in the aggregate, Shares with a value sufficient to satisfy the applicable stock ownership guidelines of the Company in place at that time, Grantee may enter into a transaction with respect to any Shares acquired by Grantee as a result of the lapse of a Period of Restriction without regard to the holding period requirement contained in this Section 2(b) so long as Grantee shall continue to satisfy such stock ownership guidelines following such transaction.

(d)    Lapse of Restrictions. The Period of Restriction shall lapse as to the Restricted Stock in accordance with the Notice of Restricted Stock Grant and the terms of this Agreement. Subject to the terms of the Plan and Section 6(a) hereof, upon lapse of the Period of Restriction, the Grantee shall own the Shares that are subject to this Agreement free of all restrictions other than the holding period described in Section 2(c) above. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, unless otherwise specifically prohibited under applicable laws, or by the rules and regulations of any governing governmental agencies or national securities exchanges, any Period of Restriction or other restriction imposed on the Restricted Stock that has not previously lapsed, including the holding period described in Section 2(c) above, shall lapse.

Section 3.
STOCK CERTIFICATES

As soon as practicable following the grant of Restricted Stock, the Shares of Restricted Stock shall be registered in the Grantee’s name in certificate or book-entry form. If a certificate is issued, it shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the restrictions and it shall be held by the Company, or its agent, on behalf of the Grantee until the Period of Restriction has lapsed. If the Shares are registered in book-entry form, the restrictions shall be placed on the book-entry registration. The Grantee may be required to execute and return to the Company a blank stock power for each Restricted Stock certificate (or instruction letter, with respect to Shares registered in book-entry form), which will permit transfer to the Company, without further action, of all or any portion of the Restricted Stock that is forfeited in accordance with this Agreement.









Section 4.
SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS

Except for the transfer and dividend restrictions, and subject to such other restrictions, if any, as determined by the Committee, the Grantee shall have all other rights of a holder of Shares, including the right to vote (or to execute proxies for voting) such Shares. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, if all or part of a dividend in respect of the Restricted Stock is paid in Shares or any other security issued by the Company, such Shares or other securities shall be held by the Company subject to the same restrictions as the Restricted Stock in respect of which the dividend was paid.

Section 5.
DIVIDENDS

(a)    Any dividends paid with respect to Shares which remain subject to a Period of Restriction shall not be paid to the Grantee but shall be held by the Company.

(b)    Such held dividends shall be subject to the same Period of Restriction as the Shares to which they relate.

(c)    Any dividends held pursuant to this Section 5 which are attributable to Shares which vest pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid to the Grantee within 30 days of the applicable vesting date.

(d)     Dividends attributable to Shares forfeited pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement shall be forfeited to the Company on the date such Shares are forfeited.

Section 6.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

(a)     Tax Withholding. Pursuant to Article 20 of the Plan, the Committee shall have the power and right to deduct or withhold, or require the Grantee to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and local taxes (including the Grantee’s FICA obligations) required by law to be withheld with respect to this Award. The Committee may condition the delivery of Shares upon the Grantee’s satisfaction of such withholding obligations. The Grantee may elect to satisfy all or part of such withholding requirement by tendering previously-owned Shares or by having the Company withhold Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum statutory withholding (based on minimum statutory withholding rates for federal, state and local tax purposes, as applicable, including the Grantee’s FICA taxes) that could be imposed on the transaction, and, to the extent the Committee so permits, amounts in excess of the minimum statutory withholding to the extent it would not result in additional accounting expense.
