ARTICLE 4
ESTABLISHMENT OF THE FINANCIAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL OBJECTIVES

     4.1 Financial and Organizational Objectives.

Such financial and organizational objectives shall be used, as described below, to determine the payments to be made under the Plan.

     4.2 Determination of Financial Payout Percentage.

          (a) Revenue Target and Revenue Target Percentage: The Committee shall establish various Revenue Targets for the Base Period, based on the Company’s annual operating plan or other financial planning. There shall be a minimum threshold Revenue Target and a maximum Revenue Target. The Committee shall establish a corresponding percentage for each Revenue Target, which shall be called the Revenue Target Percentages.

operating plan or other financial planning. There shall be a minimum threshold EBITDA Target and a maximum EBITDA Target. The Committee shall establish a corresponding percentage for each EBITDA Target, which shall be called the EBITDA Target Percentages.

          (c) Financial Payout Percentage: The Committee shall determine the relevant Financial Payout Percentage for a Base Period by adding the appropriate Revenue Target Percentage achieved during that Base Period with the EBITDA Target Percentage achieved during that Base Period.

          (d) Appendix 1 sets forth the current Revenue Targets, Revenue Target Percentages, EBITDA Targets and EBITDA Target Percentages. The Committee shall update Appendix 1 for each Base Period no later than March 31 of the Base Period.

     4.3 Line of Sight Goals and Corporate Milestones. In addition to Company-wide Revenue Targets and EBITDA Targets, some Participants may have other elements affect the amount of their total Plan payouts. Depending on band level and business unit, for example, a Participant could be affected by Line of Sight Goals or Corporate Milestones. Specific goals, weightings, and payout parameters, shall be determined by March 31 of each Base Period and shall be approved by either the Committee (in the case of Corporate Milestones) or by the Chief Executive Officer (in the case of Line of Sight Goals). If the Company achieves a Financial Payout Percentage in excess of 100% for the Base Period (as determined by the Committee and set forth in Appendix 1), then proportional funding is available to recognize the attainment of goals in excess of the targeted Line of Sight Goals for the Base Period. Funding is available to recognize the attainment of Corporate Milestones above the targeted level for the Base Period regardless of whether Revenue Target or EBITDA Target goals are met in a Base Period.

     4.4 Payout Matrix. The Committee shall establish a Plan Payout Matrix. Such Payout Matrix shall be used to determine the percentage of a participant’s Plan payout that is attributable to the attainment of a specific goal (each such percentage being a “Plan Payout Weighting”). Accordingly, a combination of Revenue Targets, EBITDA Targets, Line of Sight Goals and Corporate Milestones will provide factors for the calculation of individual payouts under the Plan (as explained in Article 6). The current Plan Payout Matrix is set forth as Appendix 2. The Committee shall update Appendix 2 for each Base Period no later than March 31 of the Base Period.

ARTICLE 5
TARGET BONUS

     5.1 Target Bonus Percentages. The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall establish Target Bonus Percentages for the various job bands within the Company, based on competitive total compensation market factors including incentive compensation opportunities for comparable positions at comparable companies. The current schedule of Target Bonus Percentages by band level is set forth as Appendix 3.

ARTICLE 6
CALCULATION OF INDIVIDUAL AWARDS

     6.1 Factors. Plan payments are determined using the following factors (as applicable):

  •   Target Bonus Percentage.
 
  •   Eligible Earnings.
 
  •   Plan Payout Weightings.
 
  •   Financial Payout Percentages.
 
  •   Corporate Milestones Results.
 
  •   Line of Sight Goal Results.

     6.2 Calculations. A Participant’s payout amount is determined as follows:

          (a) The Participant’s Target Bonus Percentage is determined by referencing the percentage amount that corresponds to the Participant’s employment band set forth in Appendix 3.

          (b) The Participant’s Target Bonus Percentage is then multiplied by the Participant’s Eligible Earnings to arrive at the Participant’s “Bonus Goal”.

          (c) The Participant’s relevant Plan Payout Weightings (for Revenue Targets, EBITDA Targets, Corporate Milestones and Line of Sight Goals) are determined based on the Plan Payout Matrix set forth in Appendix 2.

          (d) The Company’s Financial Payout Percentage is determined by adding the Revenue Target Percentage achieved during that Base Period and the EBITDA Target Percentage achieved during that Base Period as set forth in Appendix 1.

          (e) The Participant’s payout amount based on Revenue and EBITDA is calculated by multiplying his Bonus Goal by his total combined Revenue and EBITDA weighting from the Plan Payout Matrix (set forth in Appendix 2) by the Financial Payout Percentage achieved for the Base Period.

          (f) The Participant’s Line of Sight Goal payout amount, if any, is calculated by multiplying his Bonus Goal by his Line of Sight weighting from the Plan Payout Matrix by the percentage of the Line of Sight Goal obtained for the Base Period. (Note: If the Company achieves a Financial Target Percentage in excess of 100% for the Base Period (as determined by the Committee and set forth in Appendix 1), then proportional funding is available to recognize the attainment of goals in excess of the targeted Line of Sight Goals for the Base Period).

          (g) The Participant’s Corporate Milestones payout amount, if any, is calculated by multiplying his Bonus Goal by his Corporate Milestones weighting from the Plan Payout Matrix by the percentage of the Corporate Milestone obtained for the Base Period.

          (h) The total Plan payout amount for the Participant is calculated by adding (e), (f) and (g) above.

          Several examples to illustrate hypothetical Plan award calculations are set forth below:

Example # 1

Band [ * * * ] corporate staff Participant with Eligible Earnings of $[ * * * ].

Bonus Goal = $7,800 ($ [ * * * ] x [ * * * ] ) .

Total Plan payout amount based 100% on combined Revenue and EBITDA results as determined by reference to the Payout Matrix.

Company achieves a Revenue Target, which results in a Revenue Target Percentage of 47%. Company achieves an EBITDA Target, which results in an EBITDA Target Percentage of 58%. The total Financial Payout Percentage equals 105% (47% + 58%).

The Participant’s Plan payout amount is: Bonus Goal multiplied by combined Revenue and EBITDA percentages from Payout Matrix multiplied by Financial Payout Percentage = $7,800 times 100% times 105% = $8,190

Example # 2

Band [ * * * ] business unit staff Participant with Eligible Earnings of $[ * * * ].

Bonus Goal = $17,000 ($[ * * * ] x [ * * * ]).

Total Plan payout amount determined by reference to the Payout Matrix is based 50% on combined Revenue and EBITDA results and 50% based on unit’s Line of Sight Goal.

Company achieves a Revenue Target, which results in a Revenue Target Percentage of 50%. Company achieves an EBITDA Target, which results in an EBITDA Target Percentage of 50%. The total Financial Payout Percentage equals 100% (50% + 50%). Business unit achieves 95% of Line of Sight Goal.

The Participant’s Plan payout amount is: (i) Bonus Goal multiplied by combined Revenue and EBITDA percentages from Payout Matrix multiplied by Financial Payout Percentage, plus (ii) Bonus Goal multiplied by Line of Sight Goal percentage from Payout Matrix multiplied by percentage of Line of Sight Goal achieved = ($17,000 times 50% times 100%) plus ($17,000 times 50% times 95%) = $16,575.

Example # 3

Band [ * * * ] business unit staff Participant with Eligible Earnings of $[ * * * ].

Bonus Goal = $3,500 ($ [ * * * ] x [ * * * ] ) .

Total Plan payout amount determined by reference to the Payout Matrix is based 50% on combined Revenue and EBITDA results and 50% based on unit’s Line of Sight Goal.

Company achieves a Revenue Target, which results in a Revenue Target Percentage of 45%. Company achieves an EBITDA Target, which results in an EBITDA Target Percentage of 45%. The total Financial Payout Percentage equals 90% (45% + 45%). Business unit achieves 105% of Line of Sight Goal, but since Company only achieves 90% of Revenue and EBITDA goals, there is no funding available to fund the 5% by which the Line of Sight Goal exceeded target. Accordingly the Line of Sight Goal is reduced to 100%.

The Participant’s Plan payout amount is: (i) Bonus Goal multiplied by combined Revenue and EBITDA percentages from Payout Matrix multiplied by Financial Target Percentage, plus (ii) Bonus Goal multiplied by Line of Sight Goal percentage from Payout Matrix multiplied by percentage of Line of Sight Goal achieved (limited to 100% due to failure to achieve Financial Payout Percentage in excess of 100%) = ($3,500 times 50% times 90%) plus ($3,500 times 50% times 100%) = $3,325.
