Bonus Pool Establishment and Allocation
 
4.1 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan, the Company will fund a cash Bonus pool of approximately $3,200,000 on June 30, 2009 (a “Bonus Pool Funding Date”) if:
 
·  
Actual revenue3 for the semiannual period ending June 30, 2009 (“Actual Revenue”) equals or exceeds 100% of the planned revenue (“Plan Revenue”) established in the 2009 Annual Operating Plan approved by the Board of Directors (“Annual Operating Plan”) for such period; and
 
·  
Operating income determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles less stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets and such other extraordinary items as may be determined by the Committee (“Non-GAAP Operating Income”) for the semiannual period ending June 30, 2009 equals or exceeds 100% of the planned Non-GAAP Operating Income established in the Annual Operating Plan (the “Plan Non-GAAP Operating Income”) for such semiannual period.  The determination as to whether Non-GAAP Operating Income equals or exceeds Plan Non-GAAP Operating Income shall be made after taking into account the compensation expense associated with the establishment of the cash Bonus pool.
 
4.2 Subject to Section 4.4 below and the other terms and conditions of this Plan, the Company will fund a cash Bonus pool of approximately $3,200,000 on December 31, 2009 (a “Bonus Pool Funding Date”) if:
 
·  
Actual Revenue for the semiannual period ending December 31, 2009 equals or exceeds 100% of the Plan Revenue established in the Annual Operating Plan for such period; and
 
·  
(A) Non-GAAP Operating Income for the semiannual period ending December 31, 2009 divided by (B) Actual Revenue for such semiannual period (“Non-GAAP Operating Margin Percentage”) equals or exceeds 100% of the planned Non-GAAP Operating Margin Percentage established in the Annual Operating Plan (the “Plan Non-GAAP Operating Margin Percentage”) for such semiannual period.  The determination as to whether Non-GAAP Operating Margin Percentage equals or exceeds Plan Non-GAAP Operating Margin Percentage shall be made after taking into account the compensation expense associated with the establishment of the cash Bonus pool.
 
4.3 If the Company does not fund a bonus pool on the June 30, 2009 Bonus Pool Funding Date due to not having achieved the required financial performance criteria as described in Section 4.1 above, subject to Section 4.4 below and the other terms and conditions of this Plan, the Company will fund a cash Bonus pool of approximately $6,400,000 on the December 31, 2009 Bonus Pool Funding Date instead of the $3,200,000 referenced in Section 4.2 above if:
 
      A Bonus pool is not funded on the June 30, 2009 Bonus Pool Funding Date under Section 4.1 above due to the Company’s failure to achieve 100% of Plan Revenue or 100% of Plan Non-GAAP Operating Income or both for the semiannual period ending on June 30, 2009;
 
·  
Actual Revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 equals or exceeds 100% of the Plan Revenue for such period established in the Annual Operating Plan; and
 
·  
Non-GAAP Operating Margin Percentage for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 equals or exceeds 100% of the Plan Non-GAAP Operating Margin Percentage for such period established in the Annual Operating Plan after taking into account the compensation expense associated with the establishment of the cash Bonus pool.
 


 
3 Represents the Company’s total product, development, licensing and royalty revenues for fiscal year 2009 as reported in the Company’s financial statements.
4 Represents the Company’s total earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization, and, excludes stock compensation expense as accounted for under SFAS No. 123R.

4.4 In the event that the Company’s financial performance for 2009 with respect to Actual Revenue and Non-GAAP Operating Margin Percentage exceeds 100% of the Plan Revenue and Plan Non-GAAP Operating Margin Percentage established in the Annual Operating Plan for the full fiscal year, subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan, the Company will fund on the December 31, 2009 Bonus Pool Funding Date a cash Bonus pool in the amount of approximately $8,500,000 less any Bonus amount funded on the June 30, 2009 Bonus Pool Funding Date under Section 4.1 above (in lieu of any cash bonus pools referenced above to be funded on the December 31, 2009 Bonus Pool Funding Date)  if:
 
·  
Actual Revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 equals or exceeds 109% of the Plan Revenue established in the Annual Operating Plan for such period; and
 
·  
Non-GAAP Operating Margin Percentage for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 equals or exceeds 125% of the Plan Non-GAAP Operating Margin Percentage established in the Annual Operating Plan for such period after taking into account the compensation expense associated with the establishment of the cash Bonus pool.
 
Semiannual bonus pools of approximately $3,200,000, or approximately $6,400,000 in the aggregate, represent 75% of the aggregate amount of the target bonuses of those employees who are expected to be Participants in the Bonus Plan, while an aggregate cash Bonus pool of approximately $8,500,000 represents 100% of the aggregate amount of the target bonuses of those employees who are expected to be Participants in the Bonus Plan.  Therefore, if the Registrant achieves 100% of the Plan Revenue and Plan Non-GAAP Operating Margin Percentage established in the Annual Operating Plan, Participants in the Bonus Plan will receive 75% of their target bonuses; and, if the Registrant achieves 109% of the Plan Revenue and 125% of the Plan Non-GAAP Operating Margin Percentage established in the Annual Operating Plan, Participants in the Bonus Plan will receive 100% of their target bonuses.
 
        The actual amount of a cash bonus pool on a Bonus Pool Funding Date shall be a function of (i) the Registrant’s financial performance with respect to actual revenue, Non-GAAP Operating Income and Non-GAAP Operating Margin Percentage, as the case may be, compared to the Annual Operating Plan and (ii) the actual Participants participating in the Bonus Plan as of each Bonus Pool Funding Date and such Participants’ target Bonuses.   In the event that the Registrant’s performance with respect to revenue and Non-GAAP Operating Margin Percentage falls in between the targets established in the Annual Operating Plan and the targets established by the Bonus Plan for the payment of 100% of target bonuses, the actual bonus amounts will be calculated pro rata on a straight line basis.  For upside payments, growth must be deemed to be “organic” rather than “acquired”, except as contemplated by the Annual Operating Plan.
 
 
The amounts of Bonuses, if any, allocable to individual Participants will be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion and may be less than, equal to or greater than target Bonus levels.

5.      Payment
 
Bonuses under this Plan, if any, will be distributed as soon as reasonably practicable following determination of the amounts of the Bonus pool and the amounts applicable to Participants provided, however, that distribution of the Bonus pool funded on the December 31, 2009 Bonus Pool Funding Date, if any, shall in no event occur after March 15, 2010.  Participants must be employed by the Company as employees at the time of computation and distribution in order to be eligible to receive payment of Bonuses, if any, unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee.  Employees who commence employment with the Company on or after May 15, 2009 will not be eligible to participate in this Plan with respect to the first Bonus Pool Funding Date; and employees who commence employment with the Company on or after November 15, 2009 will not be eligible to participate in this Bonus Plan with respect to the second Bonus Pool Funding Date.   Participants who begin their employment with the Company after January 1, 2009 but prior to May 15, 2009 with respect to the first Bonus Pool Funding Date, and Participants who begin their employment with the Company after July 1, 2009 but prior to November 15, 2009 with respect to the second Bonus Pool Funding Date, shall be eligible to receive payment of a pro-rated Bonus (based on the full days of such Participant’s employment during the applicable semi-annual period).  In addition, Participants must complete all mandatory training(s) within the time noted in the notice to employees to be eligible to receive payment of a Bonus.  The Committee may impose additional eligibility requirements on payment of any Bonuses in its sole discretion.  It is the objective of the Committee that the entire calculated pool be distributed to eligible Participants.
