INFOCUS CORPORATION

2004 EXECUTIVE BONUS PLAN

 

POLICY:               It is InFocus Corporation’s policy to provide Executives with the opportunity for increased compensation based upon overall achievement of InFocus Corporation’s net income goals.

 

PLAN GUIDELINES

 

1.             Adoption of PlanThe Executive Bonus Plan (the “Plan”) was adopted by the Board of Directors of InFocus Corporation (the “Company”) effective February 3, 2004.

 

2.             Purpose of Plan and Effective Date:  The purpose of the Plan is to establish the terms and conditions under which the Company will pay Executive bonuses for the calendar year beginning January 1, 2004 and ending December 31, 2004.

 

Unless the Board of Directors specifically provides otherwise, all Executive bonuses will be awarded solely in accordance with this Plan.

 

3.             EligibilityEligibility is limited to Executives of InFocus Corporation.

 

In the event that an Executive is in their position for less than one year, a pro-rated bonus will be calculated based on number of months employed as an executive.  For the purposes of this Plan, the term Executive refers to employees of the Company holding the titles listed in Section 5 below. No annual bonus will be paid if any Executive enters their position after October 1, 2004.  Executives must be actively employed on the last day of the year to be eligible for any annual bonus amount.

 

4.             Plan Components:

 

(a)  Profit Sharing:  The first component of the bonus plan is the payment of profit sharing, paid quarterly.  The percentage to be paid (multiplied by the Executive’s quarterly salary) will be at the same rate as calculated for other employees in accordance with the currently approved InFocus Corporation Profit Sharing Program.  Any payment made to the Executive will not reduce the amount to be paid to other employees, i.e., executive salaries will be excluded from the profit-sharing payout percentage calculation.

 

NOTE:  Eligible Executives must be in active pay status for an entire quarter to be paid profit sharing for that quarter.

 

(b) Annual Bonus:  The second component of the bonus plan is an annual bonus paid at year-end based on the Company’s 2004 financial performance and specifically InFocus Corporation’s net income as
