BONUS AWARD CALCULATIONS
At the conclusion of the 2009 fiscal year, the award earned by each participant is calculated based on the financial performance of the company.
Financial Performance
Bonus Incentive Earned = Target bonus award level x Target EBITDA budget level x Base Salary achieved for 2009
Bonus award is payable under the financial portion only if actual EBITDA achieved is greater than 92.5% of target EBITDA.
The target opportunity is earned if the established performance goals are exactly achieved. Depending on how actual EBITDA performance compares to EBITDA budget, the actual incentive earned will be based on a sliding scale ranging from 0 to 3 times the target opportunity.
· Example: A VP with a base salary of $150,000 has a target bonus level of 25% hits the target EBITDA budget at level 2. Result = $150,000 x 25% x 2 = $75,000 bonus
