PROPOSED INCENTIVE PROGRAM DESIGNS
I. CASH BASED PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE
     Proposed Design
  A)   Target incentive as % of salary
 
  (i)   CEO-25%
 
  (ii)   Other Exec (8)-25%
 
  (iii)   Mid management (3)-25%
 
  B)   50% of cash incentive paid on achievement of current year financial metrics against approved budget

 


 
  (i)   Revenue-90%-120% achievement of annual operating plan-factor-.9-1.20
 
  (ii)   EBITDA-90%-120% achievement of annual operating plan-factor-.9-1.2
 
  (iii)   Operating Plan-90%-120% achievement of annual operating plan-factor-.9-1.2
             
          Total financial metric factor =
  (i)+(ii)+(iii)    
 
    3      
  C)   50% of annual incentive paid on achievement of current year personal objectives as determined by executive team and approved by comp committee
 
  (i)   personal objectives-50%-120% achievement of personal objectives-factor .5-1.2
 
  (ii)   Total personal objective factor = (i)
 
  D)   Total annual incentive award
 
  =   salary x (target annual incentive %)
  x   financial metric factor
  x   total personal objective factor
Note: if either total financial metric factor or personal objective factor = zero then there is no incentive pay out.
II. STOCK BASED PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE
     Proposed Design
  A.   Target stock based performance incentive as a % of salary
  (i)   CEO-420%
 
  (ii)   Exec-300%
 
  (iii)   Senior Mgt-120%
  B.   4 year Restricted Stock (RS) Program
-Restricted stock may be awarded in the form of restricted stock units (RSUs) or restricted stock awards (RSAs) as determined by the compensation committee and as allowed by the applicable stock incentive plan.
-The actual amount of the equity incentive award is calculated by first multiplying the target award by the executive's personal objective factor used for calculating the cash based performance incentive. A personal objective factor below 50% will result in no stock based incentive award. After the personal objective factor is applied to the target, the following factors are applied to determine the actual stock based incentive award.
-1/3 time vested over 4 years (50% cliff vest 2 years-remaining 50% monthly over years 3 and 4)
-2/3 current year financial performance based vested over 4 years (I year cliff vesting remaining 75% vesting monthly over years 2, 3, 4)
