Participation and Eligibility (cont’d)
 
   
Terminated Employees: If a participant terminates from the Company, the following guidelines will be used for all voluntary or involuntary terminations as well as terminations due to a Reduction in Force: Incentives are only earned by employees in good standing on the date payment is made. Participants terminating employment prior to the date of payment are not eligible for any incentive payment, regardless of the reason for termination of employment.
 
   
First Time Participants: New management employees hired or promoted into an eligible position will be able to begin participating in the MIP on the first day of the first full month in the eligible position. The Base Bonus will be prorated based on the number of months employed in the eligible position.

Existing Participants: Participants who transfer during the period January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010 from one MIP eligible position to another MIP eligible position, having either a higher or lower Base Bonus, will begin participating at the new MIP level on the first day of the first full month in the new position. The participant’s Base Bonus will be prorated for the months employed in each eligible position.
 
   
Leave of Absence: Participants who have been on an approved leave of absence for medical or other reasons for greater than 60 cumulative days during the year will receive a prorated portion of their earned Base Bonus. The earned Base Bonus for participants on approved leaves of absence of less than 60 cumulative days will not be prorated based on the period of approved leave. Participants who have been on an approved leave of absence for medical or other reasons for greater than 120 cumulative days during the year will not be eligible to earn any amount of MIP for the year.

The Company may change the plan from time to time in any respect. All decisions made by the MIP Compensation Committee and the Company relative to the plan are final and binding.

VI.  
Method of Calculation
 
   
Each participant’s incentive will be calculated based on the achievement of a financial target and individual objectives. The stated financial target will be Consolidated MiMedx Group Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“MiMedx EBITDA”). The individual objectives will be comprised of one or more key operational measures and/or major milestone outcomes that are specific to the participant’s position and directly influenced by the participant’s performance. Individual objectives must be approved by the Chairman & CEO and the President & COO. For all participants, other than the Chairman & CEO and the President & COO, seventy-five percent (75%) of the participant’s full Base Bonus will be allocated to the MiMedx EBITDA component and twenty-five percent (25%) will be allocated to the individual objectives component. For the Chairman & CEO and the President & COO, one hundred percent (100%) of the full Base Bonus will be allocated to the MiMedx EBITDA component and no amount allocated to individual objectives.
MIMEDX EBITDA COMPONENT
If MiMedx EBITDA is 100% to Plan following the accrual of all Base Bonus expense, the participant is eligible to earn the participant’s full Base Bonus amount allocated to MiMedx EBITDA performance. For MiMedx EBITDA performance below 100% to Plan, the participant may be eligible to earn a reduced portion of the participant’s Base Bonus allocated to MiMedx EBITDA performance as determined by the MiMedx Board of Directors in their sole discretion. The MiMedx Board of Directors will establish a minimum level for MiMedx EBITDA performance, below which, no incentive for this component of the MIP is earned.
If the MiMedx EBITDA exceeds 100% to Plan following the accrual of all Base Bonus expense, the participant may earn an Excess Bonus. An Excess Bonus Pool will be funded at the rate of $0.50 to the dollar for each dollar of MiMedx EBITDA in excess of 100% to Plan. This Excess Bonus Pool will continue to be funded at this percentage from available excess MiMedx EBITDA until the maximum MIP amount is earned by each eligible participant in the pool. The maximum MIP amount is equal to two (2) times the participant’s Base Bonus.
INDIVIDUAL OBJECTIVES COMPONENT
A minimum level of MiMedx EBITDA performance (as determined by the MiMedx Board of Directors in its sole discretion) must be achieved before any incentive can be earned for individual objectives performance. If the minimum level of MiMedx EBITDA performance is not achieved, no amounts can be earned for this component of the MIP. If the minimum level of MiMedx EBITDA performance is achieved, the MiMedx EBITDA component and the individual objectives component of the MIP will operate independent of the other, and if the Base Bonus is not earned in the MiMedx EBITDA component, the participant is still eligible to earn the Base Bonus allocated to the individual objectives component.
If the minimum level of MiMedx EBITDA performance is achieved and all of the individual objectives are achieved, the participant may earn the Base Bonus amount allocated to the individual objectives component of the MIP. If some, but not all, of the individual objectives are attained, a partial amount of the Base Bonus allocated to the individual objectives component may be earned on a proportionate basis. For example, if two of three individual objectives were achieved, the participant may earn 2/3 of the Base Bonus amount allocated to individual objectives. If no individual objectives are attained, no incentive is earned for this component of the MIP.
