The payment of bonuses under the Plan for all participants is based on performance against revenue
and operating income targets. Participant bonuses are based 70% on operating income targets and 30%
on revenue targets.
In addition, a minimum threshold must be exceeded for each component before any bonus payment is
made for that component. In the event that the target metrics are surpassed, a participant in the
Plan may be awarded a bonus payment up to a maximum of 200% of such participants target bonus,
subject to the limitation that total awards made under the plan may not exceed 20% of operating
income.
The target bonus of Anthony J. Ley is 80% of base salary. The target bonus for each other executive
officer is 60% of base salary.
The final bonus for each participant, including executive officers, calculated as described above,
is subject to downward adjustment, based upon performance against individual performance
objectives.
Participants in the Plan must remain employed through the date that the bonus is paid in order to
qualify for a bonus payment. Harmonic, at its sole discretion, retains the right to amend,
supplement, supersede or cancel the Plan for any reason, and reserves the right to determine
whether and when to pay out any bonus amounts, regardless of the achievement of the performance
targets.
