Schedule A
Mr. Shaul’s Bonus for any fiscal year shall be based on the criteria set forth below. There are two components to his Bonus: EBITDA and individual goals, which are defined and outlined below. In no event shall his Bonus exceed 120% of his Base Salary for such fiscal year.
1. Maximum Amount. The maximum amount of the Bonus shall be based upon the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of Sun (“EBITDA”), as published by Sun in its press release announcing financial results for the year in which the Base Salary was earned, but excluding the effect of actuarial adjustments for self-insurance for general and professional liability. The Compensation Committee reserves the right to make adjustments to the calculation, including the inclusion or exclusion of discontinued operations and other normalizing adjustments.
The Compensation Committee shall establish the EBITDA target each year.The potential amount of the Bonus shall be based upon actual EBITDA attained as a percentage of the target EBITDA as follows: if actual EBITDA is less than 85% of target EBITDA, the maximum amount of the Bonus (the “Maximum Amount”) will be zero; if actual EBITDA is 85% of target EBITDA, the Maximum Amount will be 10% of Base Salary; if actual EBITDA is 100% of target EBITDA, the Maximum Amount will be 50% of Base Salary (if actual EBITDA is greater than 85% but less than 100% of target EBITDA, the amount will be pro rated between 10% and 50% of Base Salary); and if actual EBITDA is 115% (or greater) of target EBITDA, the Maximum Amount will be 120% of Base Salary (if actual EBITDA is greater than 100% but less than 115% of target EBITDA, the Maximum Amount will be pro rated between 50% and 120% of Base Salary).
2. EBITDA Component. In the event that the Maximum Amount is greater than zero, then Mr. Shaul shall be paid 80% of the Maximum Amount in recognition of the achievement of the EBITDA target.
3. Individual Goals Component. The Chief Executive Officer of Sun (the “CEO”) shall establish the individual goals each year after consulting with Mr. Shaul, the Compensation Committee, and such others as the CEO deems appropriate. In the event that the Maximum Amount is greater than zero, then Mr. Shaul shall be paid up to 20% of the Maximum Amount in recognition of the achievement of his individual goals, to be determined as follows: after the fiscal year end, the CEO shall make a recommendation to the Compensation Committee as to what extent the goals have been met. The Compensation Committee shall determine the amount of this component of the Bonus to be paid to Mr. Shaul based upon the level of attainment of the goals.
4. Timing of Payment. Both components of the Bonus shall be paid to Mr. Shaul at the time specified in Section 3(b).
