Target Bonus

* Actual earnings include actual base salary earnings only and exclude all other compensation such as bonus payments.

 

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.

The metrics will be weighted in the following manner.

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.
