[YEAR] STORE SUPPORT CENTER (SSC) BONUS PROGRAM US-CA-AU
Program Objective
All team members and leaders play a vital role in helping Savers achieve our core purpose. The SSC Bonus Program is one way that we recognize and reward the day-to-day contributions that SSC team members make toward our success.
Annual Bonus Opportunity
| The individual bonus target for each SSC bonus eligible role is tied to job type. Your manager or Compensation can tell you what your bonus target is. If a team member moves into a job with a different bonus target during the calendar year, the annual bonus will be pro-rated based on the number of days during the calendar year in each eligible position at each target rate. |
| The plan year for bonus eligibility is the calendar year that coincides with the fiscal performance. |
| The annual bonus target for salaried SSC bonus eligible team members is a percentage (%) of base salary effective the last day of the calendar year of the performance period, also considered the last day of the bonus plan year. |
| For those team members who have a pro-rated bonus based on two different bonus levels (due to transfer, promotion, or demotion), the salary in effect on the last day of each bonus level will determine the bonus target for that bonus type. |
Team Member Eligibility
| Eligible Roles Your manager will inform you if you are eligible. Temporary team members, contractors and consultants are not eligible for the SSC bonus. |
| New Hires, Promotions, Transfers, Demotions Bonuses will be pro-rated based on the number of calendar days in a bonus eligible role during the calendar year. For promotions, transfers or demotions, the new bonus opportunity will be applied effective and prorated based on the day of the change. |
| Leaves of Absence The bonus payment is prorated based on the number of calendar days not actively at work. |
| US, CAN not actively at work is designated by LOA (leave of absence) status in the HR system. |
| Australia not actively at work is defined as parental leave, leave without pay, unpaid sick leave or any other long-term unpaid leave. |
| Payment of the annual bonus is contingent upon the completion of audited financial results. Team members must be available to review and validate audited financial results if required in order to be eligible for payment. Terminations for gross misconduct are not eligible to receive the annual bonus. The bonus will be paid no later than March 15. |

Bonus Metrics
| The SSC bonus payout is determined by the annual measurement of [EBITDA](1), the Savers enterprise profit definition which means Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization. EBITDA results compared to the annual target correspond to a payout on the EBITDA portion of the SSC bonus. Savers EBITDA is also referred to as operational EBITDA. |
| Certain roles replace EBITDA with other profit metrics, as follows: [____]. |
| Some functions or departments have a functional goal in addition to EBITDA, as follows: [____]. The functional goal applies to all team members in the organization of the functional executive/director listed. If there is no functional goal, then EBITDA is the only metric for bonus determination. |
