Exhibit 10.1
Chief Executive Officer Bonus Terms for FY07 Under the
Section 162(m) Executive Officer Performance-Based Bonus Plan
Plan Objective
Suns Chief Executive Officer Bonus Terms for FY07 under its Section 162(m) Executive Officer Performance-Based Bonus Plan (the Plan) are designed to compensate the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for contributions to Sun during the fiscal year. The Plan provides for quarterly cash compensation based on performance against the Plan measures.
Plan Year/Performance Periods
The Plan year is the Companys fiscal year 2007. The performance periods are each of the Companys four fiscal quarters during that fiscal year.
Eligibility
These terms apply to the person serving as Suns CEO as of July 1, 2006. In order to receive a bonus payment with respect to any fiscal quarter, the participant must be serving as Suns CEO as of the last day of that fiscal quarter, except as provided below.
A participant who retires, becomes disabled, or dies during any fiscal quarter may receive a prorated bonus for the period of time during the fiscal quarter that the participant provided services to Sun. A participant who leaves Sun prior to the end of a fiscal quarter for any other reason, including but not limited to a reduction in force, voluntary resignation, or termination by Sun, will be ineligible for a bonus payment with respect to that fiscal quarter and any subsequent fiscal quarter during fiscal year 2007.
Bonus Target
The participants bonus target under the Plan is 200% of the participants Eligible Wages for fiscal year 2007, as determined below (the Bonus Target). The Bonus Target is divided between the four fiscal quarters of fiscal year 2006 as follows (each, a Quarterly Bonus Target):
Fiscal Quarter |
| Percentage |
| Quarterly Bonus Target |
FY07 Q1 |
| 15% |
| 30% |
FY07 Q2 |
| 25% |
| 50% |
FY07 Q3 |
| 25% |
| 50% |
FY07 Q4 |
| 35% |
| 70% |
For example, for FY07 Q1, the Quarterly Bonus Target would be 200% multiplied by 15%, or 30% of Eligible Wages for that quarter.
Payouts under the Plan are capped at 270% of the Bonus Target for fiscal year 2007. (Plan funding is capped at 200% of the target funding amount; in addition, for the Q4 payment, individual performance can adjust the funded Q4 payment from 0% to 200%.)
Company Performance Measures
The Plan is based on Company performance against the following measures (the Company Performance Measures):
1. Q1 FY07-quarterly Operating Income (weighted 50%) and quarterly Revenue (weighted 50%);
2. Q2 FY07-quarterly Operating Income (weighted 50%) and quarterly Revenue (weighted 50%);
3. Q3 FY07-quarterly Operating Income (weighted 50%) and quarterly Revenue (weighted 50%);
1
4. Q4 FY07-quarterly Operating Income (weighted 50%) and quarterly Revenue (weighted 50%);
Additional funding maybe be allocated to the Q4 bonus payments if:
1. Q4 financial performance on Revenue and Operating Income are at least at target, and,
2. Corporate annual goals for Solaris adoption/conversion are met.
Company Performance Measure Definitions
Operating Income: For purposes of calculating the bonus accrual under the Plan, Operating Income is defined as Operating Income, calculated on a GAAP basis, adjusted to exclude the impact of the following:
· Restructuring charges
· In process R & D charges
· Intangible impairment charges
· Stock Compensation Expense
· FY07 Bonus Accrual
· Equity Based Compensation Expense
Revenue: For purposes of calculating the bonus accrual under the Plan, Revenue is defined as net revenue as reported in the Companys consolidated operations analysis.
Bonus Plan Funding Percentage
The Company uses a schedule (the Quarterly Bonus Funding Schedule), which provides percentages based upon the Companys actual performance against the Companys goal(s) with respect to the Company Performance Measures for each quarter. The Bonus Plan Funding Percentage is determined for each fiscal quarter as follows:
1. Q1-Q4 FY07: Funding based on actual performance against goals with respect to quarterly Operating Income and quarterly Revenue, weighted equally;
2. Evaluating and funding each performance measure independently;
3. Additionally, with respect to Q4 FY07, there maybe additional bonus funding based on the Corporate Solaris Goal, providing up to an additional 6% of the bonus pool if the Q4 Revenue goal, Q4 Operating Income and Corporate Solaris adoption/conversion annual goals are met.
Individual Performance
Q4 FY07 bonus calculation will include a percentage multiplier based upon the Participants annual performance (the Individual Performance Percentage.) The participant can receive 0-200% of their bonus target based on achievement of documented individual objectives.
Eligible Wages
Eligible Wages with respect to any fiscal quarter in fiscal year 2007 (Eligible Wages) shall be determined based upon the participants annual base salary on the last day of such fiscal quarter (October 1, 2006 for FY07 Q1, December 31, 2006 for FY07 Q2, April 1, 2007 for FY07 Q3, and June 30, 2007 for FY07 Q4).
2
For example, for FY07 Q2, assuming the participants annual base salary on December 31, 2006 was $1,000,000, the participants Eligible Wages would be $1,000,000.
Eligible Wages exclude relocation allowances, expense reimbursements, tuition reimbursement, car/transportation allowances, expatriate allowances, long-term disability payments, or other commissions and bonuses paid during each quarter of FY07.
