EX-10.2 3 v72448ex10-2.txt EXHIBIT 10.2 1 EXHIBIT 10.2 EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN PLAN DOCUMENT PURPOSE This Plan is designed to provide selected employees with annual cash incentive opportunities. Awards are based on the achievement of specific objectives that reflect business success and generate stockholder value. The Plan directly links Participants' incentive compensation with the performance of the Subsidiary where they have personal accountability and also promotes the Company's results-oriented management style. ELIGIBILITY/PARTICIPATION All Senior Management employees are eligible for participation in the Plan. Participants are selected by management. PERFORMANCE MEASURES/OBJECTIVES During the first quarter of each year, Financial Objectives and Personal Objectives for the year shall be established. The Financial Objectives and Personal Objectives shall be weighted to reflect the significance of business and individual performance (e.g. Financial Objectives weighted 60% and Personal Objectives weighted 40%). Subsidiary heads shall recommend, and the CEO shall approve, the specific Financial Objectives to be used by each respective Subsidiary for the year, as well as the specific weighting of each Financial Objective (e.g. 50% Segment Earnings and 50% Cash Flow). The specific objectives selected, and their weightings, may vary by Subsidiary and may be changed from year to year in response to changes in business priorities. A Participant's manager shall recommend the Participant's Personal Objectives for the Plan year. Subsidiary heads shall approve the Personal Objectives for each eligible Participant in their Subsidiary. The CEO shall approve the Personal Objectives of all corporate officers and the Compensation Committee shall approve the Personal Objectives of the CEO. A targeted performance level shall be established which represents Page 1 of 4 2 the desired performance for the year. A minimum and maximum level of performance shall also be established. Early in each Plan year, Participants shall be advised by their management of the Financial Objectives that will be used to determine their Awards for the Plan year, the weighting allocation of the various Financial Objectives, as well as the weighting allocation between Financial Objectives and Personal Objectives. AWARD LEVELS A Target Award shall be established at the beginning of every Plan year for each executive grade level. Individual Target Award levels shall reflect variations in job function and scope and the potential impact the Participant has on company business objectives. The more senior the position, the greater the portion of total compensation that shall be placed "at risk". Award minimums and maximums shall also be established for performance levels below and above target performance. Award opportunity levels corresponding to the minimum, target and maximum levels of performance may vary by Subsidiary according to business priorities. AWARDS Awards under the Plan shall be determined by evaluating performance against Financial Objectives and Personal Objectives. Actual Awards may be higher or lower than the Target Award. Subsidiary heads shall determine Award recommendations with final approval made by the Compensation Committee. Awards shall generally be paid in a single cash payment during the first quarter following the end of the Plan year. Awards shall be based on the Participant's December 31st base salary of the Plan year. All applicable taxes and withholdings shall be deducted from Award payments in accordance with federal, state and local regulations. Awards may be deferred under the Company's Deferred Compensation Plan ("DCP") in accordance with the provisions of the DCP. Page 2 of 4 3 PLAN CHANGES DUE TO COMPANY ACTIVITY Acquisitions, divestitures and/or mergers by the Company with outside companies may require changes/amendments to the current year's Plan targets, measures and/or Award opportunities of a specific Subsidiary. In such cases, Plan changes shall be presented for CEO approval. AWARD PAYMENT UNDER VARIOUS EMPLOYMENT CONDITIONS The CEO or President may determine, or may delegate the determination of, the eligibility for Target Awards and any payment of Awards to Participants who enter or exit employment, transfer between Subsidiaries, or who are promoted during the Plan year. PLAN ADMINISTRATION The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee. The decisions of the Compensation Committee shall be final and binding. PLAN CONTINUATION The Company expects and intends to continue this Plan but does not guarantee any specific levels of Award payments or the continuation of any Award payments. Award payments made under this Plan do not create a contract of employment. The Company reserves the right to modify, suspend, change or terminate this Plan at any time by the action of the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion.
