RealNetworks Inc, Executive MBO Incentive Program
 
Objective of the Plan
The objective of the RealNetworks’ FY 2010 Executive MBO Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is to reward business leaders for their contribution to the Company’s success and ensure market competitiveness as we work to attract and retain executive-level talent. RealNetworks has adopted this plan to reward high performance consistent with our core business objectives.

 
Effective Date
This plan is effective January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.

 
Target Goals
Target goals for the plan are set semi-annually and approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Plan objectives for 2010 are intended to be transitional and are designed to recognize the following results: financial stability, effective execution of transformational strategy milestones, and outstanding performance of key executives driving business results.
Semi-annual assessment of goal attainment will be completed after the close of the six month period. Corresponding payout based on goal attainment will typically occur 30 to 45 days after the close of the six month period.
Goal alignment is illustrated in the table below. For business leaders who are assigned to a start-up division or business unit, the revenue and EBITDA metrics for the division or business unit segment will be replaced with operating expense and divisional or business unit milestones equally weighted, with the remaining fifty percent aligned to corporate financial and milestone objectives.
