                               COMCAST CORPORATION

 

                         2002 EXECUTIVE CASH BONUS PLAN

 

 

 

1. BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE

 

     Comcast Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (the "Company"), hereby

amends and restates the Comcast Corporation 2002 Executive Cash Bonus Plan (the

"Plan"), effective January 30, 2004. The purpose of the Plan is to provide a

performance-based cash bonus compensation for certain employees of the Company,

in accordance with a formula that is based on the financial success of the

Company as part of an integrated compensation program which is intended to

assist the Company in motivating and retaining employees of superior ability,

industry and loyalty.

 

2. DEFINITIONS

 

     The following words and phrases as used herein shall have the following

meanings, unless a different meaning is plainly required by the context:

 

     "Board of Directors" shall mean the Board of Directors of the Company.

 

     "Cash Flow." For calendar years beginning after 2002, "Cash Flow" shall

mean the operating income before depreciation and amortization for the Company

and those of its affiliates which are included with the Company in its

consolidated financial statements, as determined by the Committee.

 

     "Committee" shall mean the means the Compensation Committee of the Board or

such other committee of the Board assigned by the Board to administer the Plan.

 

     "Company" shall mean means Comcast Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation,

as successor to Comcast Holdings Corporation (formerly known as Comcast

Corporation), including any successor thereto by merger, consolidation,

acquisition of all or substantially all the assets thereof, or otherwise.

 

      "First Tier Goal" shall mean the performance goal, measured in terms of

level of Cash Flow, as established by the Committee for each Plan Year. The

First Tier Goal is the performance measure which, if achieved, permits payment

to each Participant of 66% of the Participant's Target Bonus. The Committee

shall in all events establish the First Tier Goal for each Plan Year no later

than 90 days after the first day of the Plan Year or, if sooner, within the

first 25% of the Plan Year. The First Tier Goal shall be established at the

discretion of the Committee, provided, however, that the Committee must

determine that, as of the date the First Tier Goal is established, it is

substantially uncertain whether the level of Cash Flow required to meet the

First Tier Goal will be achieved.

     "Participant" shall mean those persons eligible to participate in the Plan

in accordance with Section 3.

 

     "Plan" shall mean the Comcast Corporation 2002 Executive Cash Bonus Plan.

 

     "Plan Year" shall mean the calendar year.

 

     "Second Tier Goal" shall mean the performance goal, measured in terms of

level of Cash Flow, as established by the Committee for each Plan Year. The

Second Tier Goal is the performance measure which, if achieved, permits payment

to each Participant of 100% of the Participant's Target Bonus. The Committee

shall establish the Second Tier Goal for each Plan Year at the same time that it

establishes the First Tier Goal for such Plan Year. The Second Tier Goal shall

be a level of Cash Flow chosen at the discretion of the Committee that is higher

than the level of Cash Flow chosen for the Plan Year as the First Tier Goal.

 

     "Target Bonus" shall mean, with respect to any Participant for any Plan

Year, the sum of (a) the Target Percentage of the Participant's base salary and

any guaranteed bonus as of the first day of the Plan Year and (b) the amount, if

any, of such Participant's Target Bonus for any prior Plan Year which was not

earned due to failure to meet the First Tier Goal or the Second Tier Goal;

provided, however, that in no event shall any Participant's Target Bonus for any

Plan Year exceed $3,000,000.

 

     "Target Percentage" shall mean, with respect to any Participant for any

Plan Year, a percentage, not to exceed 150%, established by the Committee with

respect to such Participant and such Plan Year. If no other percentage is

selected by the Committee, the Target Percentage shall be 50%.

 

3. PARTICIPATION

 

     Effective for Plan Years beginning after 2003, the Participants in the Plan

shall include such key executives as may be designated by the Committee to

participate in the Plan from time to time.

 

4. TERM OF PLAN

 

     The original effective date of the Plan was July 1, 1996. The Plan shall

continue until all amounts required to be paid with respect to all Plan Years up

through and including the Plan Year ending December 31, 2006 are paid by the

Company, unless the Plan is sooner terminated by the Board of Directors.

 

5. BONUS ENTITLEMENT

 

     Each Participant shall be entitled to receive a bonus in accordance with

the provisions of Section 6 of the Plan only after certification by the

Committee that the performance goals set forth in Section 6 have been satisfied.

The bonus payment under the Plan shall be paid to each Participant as soon as

practicable following the close of the Plan Year with respect to which the bonus

is to be paid. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no

 

 

 

                                      -2-

<PAGE>

 

bonus shall be payable under the Plan without the prior disclosure of the terms

of the Plan to the shareholders of the Company and the approval of the Plan by

such shareholders.

 

6. AMOUNT OF PERFORMANCE-BASED COMPENSATION BONUS

 

                    For Plan Years beginning on and after January 1, 2003:

 

                  (a) Each Participant in the Plan shall be entitled to a bonus

with respect to a Plan Year which is equal to 66% of the Participant's Target

Bonus if the Company's Cash Flow for the Plan Year is at least equal to the

First Tier Goal, and 100% of the Target Bonus if the Company's Cash Flow for the

Plan Year is at least equal to the Second Tier Goal. If the level of Cash Flow

for the Plan Year is higher than the First Tier Goal and lower than the Second

Tier Goal, the bonus with respect to such Plan Year shall be such percentage of

the Participant's Target Bonus in excess of 66% as is determined by prorating

the difference between 100% and 66% according to the level of Cash Flow in

excess of the First Tier Goal divided by the difference between the levels of

Cash Flow represented by the Second Tier Goal and the First Tier Goal. If the

level of Cash Flow for a Plan Year is below the First Tier Goal established with

respect to such Plan Year, no bonus shall be payable under the Plan for that

Plan Year.

 

                  (b) In the event any payment of a bonus otherwise payable

under the Plan
