2009 EXECUTIVE OFFICER INCENTIVE
COMPENSATION PLAN
PURPOSE: The purpose of the Executive Officer Incentive
Compensation Plan is to attract, motivate and retain qualified
executive officers to maximize Company performance against
pre-defined operating objectives.
BACKGROUND : The Executive Officer Incentive Compensation
Plan is a core component of the overall compensation package for
the Company’s executive officers. The program affords the
executive officers the opportunity to be financially rewarded based
on actual results and affords the Company cash conservation when
business objectives are not achieved.
PLAN
SUMMARY : Executive
officers participate in the Plan. Potential incentive compensation
under the Plan is based on each participant’s position,
salary level and Company performance against pre-defined
objectives. Eighty percent of actual incentive compensation is paid
quarterly based on year-to-date net revenues and operating income
results versus the Plan targets. The remaining 20% is paid after
the end of the fiscal year based on fiscal year net revenues and
operating income results versus the Plan targets. One-half of the
incentive compensation is based on the Company’s performance
against year-to-date net revenues targets and the other one-half is
based on the Company’s performance against year-to-date
operating income targets.
The basis for
incentive compensation is the Company’s year-to-date results
versus the net revenues and operating income targets. Eighty
percent of the potential bonuses are determined and payable
quarterly and 20% of the potential bonuses are determined and
payable after the end of the fiscal year. In the event that
year-to-date performance versus the net revenues and operating
income targets are both <80%, no payment is made under the Plan.
Actual payment of the quarterly bonuses, if any, is made in the
month following the completion of each fiscal quarter after review
of the results by the Compensation Committee, except for payment
relating to net revenues and operating income >100% of targets.
Over achievement and the bonuses determined and payable after the
end of the fiscal year, if any, are measured based on the net
revenue and operating income performance for the year and paid
after the close of the fiscal year after review of the results by
the Compensation Committee, but no later than March 14,
2010.
Note: New executive officers will be considered for
participation at the discretion of the Compensation Committee.
Payments, if any, will be on a pro rata basis.
