●                    10%-20% of Bonus — Subsidiary Safety Performance.

 

All bonus elements above are conditioned on achievement of the Trigger Point (80%) of the Consolidated Target (OMGI net cash flow target). The percentages for Subsidiary Financial Performance, Individual Goals and Subsidiary Safety Performance may be adjusted for an individual Participant at the discretion of the President or CEO of Orion Marine Group.
