Bonus Plan Metrics
· MBB will be measured against three separate categories for each discrete quarter: (1) New Product Bookings, (2) Services Bookings, and (3) a Renewal Rate.
· Metric targets for New Products Bookings, Services Bookings and Renewal Rate are aligned with the Board-approved operating plan.
· Quarterly MBB payment will be paid to participants based on a preset schedule defining MBB % payment against metrics (See Below).
· Threshold payment will be set at 85% achievement against New Product and Services Bookings with a payment equal to 55% of target bonus. Threshold payment will be set at 75% achievement against the Renewal Rate with a payment equal to 55% of target bonus. MBB payment is made for a particular category if that category hits its threshold percentage (i.e. payment in one category is not dependent on a minimum threshold being met in all three categories).
· Maximum payment will be set at 110% achievement against New Product and Services Bookings with a payment equal to 150% of target bonus. Maximum payment will be set at 95% achievement against the Renewal Rate with a payment equal to 150% of target bonus.

MBB Bonus Calculation
The bonus payment is equal to the target bonus % for the respective grade multiplied by the New Product Bookings achievement weighted at 35% + Services Booking achievement weighted at 35% + Renewal Rate weighted at 30% multiplied by actual employee earnings:
(Target Bonus %) * ((New Product Bookings % * 35%) + (Services Bookings % * 35%) + (Renewal Rate % * 30%)) x (Actual Earnings )
2
Example:
New Product Bookings Achievement (weighted at 35%) = 95%
Services Bookings Achievement (weighted at 35%) = 105%
Renewal Rate (weighted at 30%) = 82%
MBB payout percent:
New Product Bookings = 85%
Services Bookings = 125%
Renewal Rate = 86.5%
(85% * 35%) + (125% * 35%)+ (86.5% * 30%) = 99.45%
Earnings = $22,000 (assuming an annual salary of $88,000)
Target Bonus = 5%
5% * 99.45% * 22,000 = $1,093.95
Other Provisions
· Metric achievements that fall between percentages will be prorated based on the distance between those percentages. For example, if NPB achievement were 87.5%, then payout would equal 62.5%. The difference between 87% and 87.5% equals .5%. There is a 3% payout increment for every 1% increase in achievement up to 100%. The NPB metric payout would be calculated by multiplying .5% (difference between 87% and 87.5%) with 3% (step increase in NPB achievement between 87% and 88%). The result is 1.5%, which is then added to 61% payout for a total NPB payout of 62.5%.
· Part-time employees will be paid out in accordance with their reduced schedule based on their actual earnings.
· Employees on sabbatical are entitled to full MBB allocation.
· Employees on qualified FMLA leave are entitled to full MBB allocation, regardless of duration.
· Employees on personal non-medical leave will not receive a payout for the period of unpaid leave.
· Management reserves the right to interpret, change or cancel this plan at any time at its discretion.
