IV. DEFINITIONS
2005 Financial Objectives: The Board of Director approved financial plan for 2005.
Base Salary: The wages paid to an employee each payroll period, without regard to performance. The base salary for the Plan participant is initially determined at the time of hire. Thereafter, increases or decreases in salary are determined at the sole discretion of authorized Company management. There is no promise or implied promise of salary increases. If salary is presented, discussed or in any manner referred to as an annualized number, the annualized number does not imply or promise continued employment.
MIP Target: The bonus target for a Plan participant during the Effective Period for the Plan, stated as a percentage of his or her base salary, if the Companys financial objectives and the participants personal objectives are achieved. A participants level in the organization determines the MIP Target.
MIP Bonus Range: The range of bonuses for which a MIP participant is eligible during the Effective Period for the Plan based on his or her achievement of personal objectives, stated as percentages of his or her base salary (e.g., x% to y% of base salary), if the Companys financial objectives are achieved.
Bonus Payout: The actual amount paid to an eligible employee under the Plan after adjustment for Company performance versus financial objectives, individual performance and the discretion of the Board of Directors and/or the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.
Operating Income: For the purposes of this Plan, Operating Income is calculated as the Income (Loss) from Operations as reported in the Companys periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adjusted for the amortization of intangible assets. Operating Income also excludes (i) non-recurring charges included in the calculation of Income (Loss) from Operations that are excluded in the calculation of pro forma net income (loss) as presented in the Companys earnings press releases, and (ii) expenses related to California Workers Compensation insurance premiums.
Revenue: Revenue shall be measured based on the Total Revenue amounts as presented in the Companys periodic filings with the SEC.
V. PLAN STRUCTURE
The Companys financial objectives for the Plan are established by the CEO, and approved by the Board of Directors. The Plan contains two basic components:
Company Financial Objectives | Personal Objectives | |||
Description | · Operating Income · Revenue (see Attachment B) | Participants evaluated contribution to assigned goals aligned with the 2005 Corporate Goals (see Attachment A) |

VI. PLAN AND DEPARTMENT FUNDING
(a) OVERALL PLAN FUNDING
Company Financial Objectives:
Plan funding is driven by two financial measures: (1) Operating Income and (2) Revenue. The bonus pool is funded based on achievement against the financial objectives in accordance with the Plans bonus funding matrix (the Matrix) (see Attachment C.)
The Matrix was designed in accordance with the following principles:
| At 100% achievement of the Companys stretch financial objectives for the Plan, the bonus pool will be fully funded (100%). The pool will fund at 70% for achievement of the base plan financial objectives. |
| A minimum performance level or threshold for bonus pool funding and payout has been established. If Company Operating Income achievement falls below 85% and/or Company Revenue achievement is below 90%, the bonus pool funding will be zero. Both thresholds have been reduced by 5% from the Plan in 2004. |
(b) DEPARTMENT BONUS POOL FUNDING
Based on the Companys achievement of the financial objectives, each department will receive a bonus pool for distribution to eligible Plan participants based on the funding levels established in the Matrix.
The total size of a departments bonus pool is determined by two factors:
1. | The Companys overall Operating Income and Revenue achievement versus objectives. |
2. | The number of eligible department participants and their associated MIP Target. The addition of newly eligible employees during the Plans Effective Date prior to September 30th and in accordance with the eligibility guidelines will increase the size of the departments bonus pool accordingly. |
The sum of the individual bonus payout recommendations within the department may not exceed the departments available funds for distribution without approval from the Senior Vice President of Human Resources and the CEO. All recommendations will be reviewed by and subject to the approval of the Senior Vice President of Human Resources, the CEO, and the Compensation Committee.
VII. BONUS PAYOUT, TIMING, AND EXAMPLES
(a) INDIVIDUAL BONUS PAYOUT
Individual potential Bonus Payouts are determined by three factors:
1. | MIP Target: The target bonus payout as determined by the participants position level (e.g., expressed as a percentage of your base salary.) |
2. | Company Performance: The bonus pool funds based on the Companys achievement of the Plans financial objectives. |
2005 Digital Insight Management Incentive Plan | 3 | |
CONFIDENTIAL The 2005 Financial targets in this document are strictly company confidential | ||
Effective 1/1/05 |
3. | Individual Performance: The managers evaluation of the participants achievement against his or her assigned personal goals balanced against the managers determination of how the participant exemplified the Companys stated values in achieving such goals. Based on the participants individual performance and the manner through which such results were achieved, the actual bonus payout may be greater than or lower than the participants MIP target (see MIP Bonus Range in the Definitions section.) |
As discussed in the Plan Funding Section, Company performance will affect available funds for bonus payouts. The Matrix in attachment C illustrates how the plan will fund at various Operating Income and Revenue achievement levels. No individual bonus payouts will be made if the Company does not meet threshold performance levels for both Operating Income (85%) and Revenue (90%) achievement. After a participants recommended Bonus Payout has been determined by his or her manager and reviewed by the Senior Vice President of the department, it shall be reviewed and approved by the Senior Vice President of Human Resources, the CEO, and the Compensation Committee. The final Bonus Payout may be adjusted upwards or downwards at their sole discretion.
