For determining bonuses for Mr. Tamblyn and Mr. Brown:
No bonuses will be paid for fiscal 2011 if Ditech Networks’ actual Operating Performance (GAAP operating profit/(loss) for fiscal 2011 adjusted to reverse the ASC 718 non-cash expense charge) does not meet or is not better than target Operating Performance as set forth in Ditech Networks’ 2011 Operating Plan.
Each executive officer’s total payout is capped at 200% of target bonus.
Each executive’s bonus will be earned based on (a) company performance as against Ditech Networks’ 2011 Operating Plan, (b) individual performance as against established individual goals, and (c) a discretionary portion. Weighting of these components is as follows:
Weighting:
| Revenue |
| 40 | % |
| Operating Performance (1) |
| 30 | % |
| Individual Goals |
| 20 | % |
| Discretionary Bonus |
| 10 | % |
| Total |
| 100 | % |
(1) Operating Performance is GAAP operating profit/(loss) adjusted to reverse the ASC 718 non-cash expense charge for the period.
Revenue Component of Executive’s Bonus:
No pay out if actual revenue does not exceed at least 80% of target revenue as set forth in Ditech Networks’ 2011 Operating Plan.
For every percentage point actual revenue exceeds 80% of target revenue as set forth in Ditech Networks’ 2011 Operating Plan, the executive will earn 5% of the portion of target bonus allocated to the revenue component.
Operating Performance Component of Executive’s Bonus:
If actual Operating Performance meets or is better than target Operating Performance as set forth in Ditech Networks’ 2011 Operating Plan, 100% of this component will be paid.
