ENHANCED FAIRCHILD INCENTIVE PLAN

(As Amended and Restated Effective April 1, 2009)

 

1.

Objective and Structure

The Enhanced Fairchild Incentive Plan (the “Plan” or “Enhanced Plan”) is designed to help retain eligible management employees and reward them for contributing to the success and profitability of the Company. These objectives are accomplished by making incentive awards under the Plan and providing Participants with a proprietary interest in the growth and performance of the Company.

The Plan is a non-ERISA cash bonus plan providing enhanced cash awards payable on an annual basis to a select group of eligible employees based on measures of business performance for that award period. The Enhanced Plan also contains a deferral feature that enables certain Participants to elect to defer the payment of all or any portion of their award. The Deferral Plan provides an opportunity for a limited number of management employees to defer receipt of their awards under the Plan until termination of their employment or other distributable event. That deferral feature of the Enhanced Plan is primarily set forth in Article 8 below, is an unfunded plan for a select group of management or highly compensated employees, and hence is substantially exempt from ERISA. The two plans set forth in this document and amended hereafter also may be referred to respectively by the acronym EFIP and DIP. The Deferral Plan is hereby frozen effective as of December 27, 2004. It is intended that the EFIP qualify as a plan of short-term deferrals and that the frozen DIP be grandfathered so that neither Plan is subject to Code Section 409A.
