a) Subject to the terms of the 2006 Plan, a Participant shall be eligible to receive an Incentive Award for the 2006 Incentive Year, calculated in accordance with this Section.
b) Each portion of the Incentive Award calculation Operating Income-Business Segment, Operating Income-SIRVA, Cash, Leadership and Strategic Initiatives, and/or Accounting Strategic Initiatives is determined separately. Thus, a Business Segment could receive the portion of its award attributable to SIRVA, Inc. Cash and not receive anything for Operating Income.

c) Subject to adjustment and final approval by the Compensation Committee (or its delegate where appropriate), the Business Segment leader shall determine the Incentive Award for each Participant within his/her Business Segment in accordance with the terms of the 2006 Plan. Before establishing the Incentive Award, the Business Segment leader shall assess each Participants Leadership performance as well as each Participants contribution towards the achievement of the Strategic Initiatives established for each such Participants Business Segment. Once the Business Segment leader has evaluated the Participants individual performance, the Business Segment leader shall establish an Incentive Award for such Participant commensurate with such level of performance using the Participants respective Target Award Percent as a guideline. A similar process will be followed by the CEO with respect to Business Segment Leaders and by the Chairman with respect to the CEO, in both instances subject to final approval by the Compensation Committee.
d) In the event a Participant was not eligible for participation in the 2006 Plan for the entire 2006 Incentive Year, the amount of the Incentive Award shall be determined in accordance with Sections 4.05 or 4.06 hereof. In addition, the Participants Business Segment will determine the Operating Income-Business Segment actual award and SIRVA, Inc. will determine Cash Generation and Operating Income-SIRVA actual awards. Actual Award Percentages can vary by Business Segment.
Section 4.02. Earnings Growth. If the 2006 minimum Operating Income Business Segment target is reached, the Operating Income Business Segment financial award will be calculated based on each Business Segments performance against its individual Business Segment targets. If the 2006 minimum Operating Income SIRVA target is reached, the Operating Income SIRVA financial award will be calculated based on SIRVAs performance against its targets.
Section 4.03. Cash Generation. The Cash Generation Performance Measurement is based upon SIRVA achieving the Minimum Performance Level for the 2006 Incentive Year.
Section 4.04. Leadership and Strategic Initiatives. A Participants performance during the 2006 Incentive Year will be evaluated based upon the successful completion of the established Leadership and Strategic Initiatives for the Participants Business Segment for the 2006 Incentive Year.

Section 4.06. Partial Year Participation. Participants that are hired, promoted, demoted, transferred, or otherwise moved to a different salary band level during the 2006 Incentive Year will be eligible on a pro-rated basis for the portion of the 2006 Incentive Year the associate fell within each such respective eligible salary band level. Participants must be hired or promoted into an eligible band level before December 1, 2006. Pro-rations will be calculated on a daily basis. The Incentive Award, if any, will be based upon the Participants Average Base Salary as of the end of the 2006 Incentive Year. For example, a Participant transferring to a non-participating SIRVA company or a non-eligible position within SIRVA for the final six (6) months of the 2006 Incentive Year will only be eligible for 50% of the Incentive Award otherwise payable and such Incentive Award will be based upon the Participants Average Base Salary during the entire 2006 Incentive Year.
Section 4.07. Termination. Except as otherwise set forth herein, any Participant who leaves employment with SIRVA for any reason prior to the payment of any Incentive Award shall not be eligible nor will such Participant be considered to have earned any Incentive Award for the 2006 Incentive Year. An award will be made to a Participant who participated in the 2006 Plan during the 2006 Incentive Year for the entire year, and who, between the end of the 2006 Incentive Year and the time when Incentive Awards for the 2006 Incentive Year are paid by SIRVA, retires at the normal retirement age of 65 or whose employment terminates as a result of death or disability. In the event of the death of a Participant during the 2006 Incentive Year, the Compensation Committee, in its discretion, may grant an Incentive Award.
Section 5. Payment
If an Incentive Award becomes payable for the 2006 Incentive Year, the payment of the Incentive Award will be made, less the appropriate payroll deductions, on or before March 15, 2007.
