The target 2016 annual cash bonus amount is equal to $184,600, which is 25 percent of Mr. Roth’s 2016 base salary per his employment agreement. The actual bonus attributable to each performance goal may range from 0 to 150 percent of the portion of the target bonus amount allocated to that goal. Based on the Committee determination of the level of achievement of each performance goal, the amount payable with respect to that goal will be as follows:
•
If the goal is attained at target level, 100 percent of the allocated amount will be paid.
•
If the goal is only attained at the minimum level, then 50 percent of the allocated amount will be paid.
•
If the goal is attained at or above maximum level, then 150 percent of the allocated amount will be paid.

Should the actual level of attainment of any such performance goal be between two of the designated levels, then the bonus potential with respect to that goal will be interpolated on a straight-line basis.
