(2)     Fifty percent (50%) of the award will be based on the Company's relative TSR performance measured from the average of the Index during January and February 2020 to the average of the Index during January and February 2023.  The Company's TSR performance shall be measured against the TSR performance of the companies (Comparator Group) within the FTSE Small Cap (ex IT) Index over the above period and must be at least at the median of a ranking of the TSR of each of the members of the Comparator Group.  Vesting will occur on a sliding scale between median (25%) and upper quartile (100%).
