FY 2007 CORPORATE INCENTIVE PLAN
Introduction
At National Medical Health Card (“the Company”), we believe associates can make a difference in overall corporate performance and in the achievement of our strategic initiatives. The Corporate Incentive Plan (the “CIP” or the “Plan”) is designed to reward Associates for performance that significantly contributes to our growth and financial success.
All management associates at NMHC play a critical role in assisting the Company in achieving the financial goals expected by our shareholders. Our investors provide us with the necessary capital to operate the Company anticipating a sufficient return on the dollars invested. If we achieve our goals and meet shareholders expectations, we should share in the financial success. Likewise, if we fail to meet our objectives, we should share in the same financial shortfall as our investors. We have designed the Plan so that good management efforts resulting in financial success is aligned in the best interest of our shareholders.
The 2007 Plan is designed to reward three important elements of performance: (1) Individual Performance (2) Net Income and (3) Gross Profit.
The following is a summary of the Plan.
Section 1: Award Levels
Target bonus award levels, expressed as a percent of eligible compensation for professional levels of Manager and above are based on considerations of affordability, internal equity and market positioning with peer companies. Target award levels are subject to review annually to assure conformance of NMHC’s compensation strategy and market conditions.
No award will be paid if threshold requirements for that element are not met. Awards will never exceed maximum. No bonus award, for any element, will be paid in the event the Company does not report positive Net Income.
Your Target Corporate Incentive Bonus for FY 2007 is described in your Total Compensation Statement, provided under separate cover.
Section 2: Calculation of Award
The Plan has been linked to correspond directly to our business goals for Fiscal Year 2007. Award results for each element will be calculated and added together to represent your 2007 Bonus Award as illustrated in Table 1.

1. Individual Performance Element
Individual Performance, based on meeting your personal goals and objectives, is a hallmark of our corporate culture. We base 30% of your overall bonus on your individual performance results, as determined by your managers. Awards for individual performance are granted from a fixed budget for each business unit and will range generally from 80% to 100% of target, within an overall range of zero to 120% of target. As long as the company is profitable, the Individual Performance bonus will be paid, regardless of Company financial performance measures for the fiscal year. This feature of the plan is designed to recognize individual contributions and to provide a bonus opportunity, even if the Company fails to meet its financial objectives.
Awards for this element are based on a “zero-sum” model, and can be subject to forced distribution requirements.
2. Net Income Element
A portion of your total target bonus will be based on the Company’s financial performance, as measured by Net Income (excluding the expensing of stock options and related taxes). Senior management has established threshold, target and maximum levels for Net Income. Table 2 illustrates the relationship of financial results to the Net Income financial performance element; award levels will be interpolated for performance between threshold, target and maximum levels.
Awards under this element will range from 50% of target for business results equal to 80% of the FY 2007 business plan to 150%. No award will be paid for this element for business results less than 80% of the Plan.
