1998 -1999 EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN
PLAN STRUCTURE
o The Plan will pay a cash bonus to participating executives, based on the
achievement of both the company performance objective and established
individual performance objectives.
o The Compensation Committee will ratify or approve performance objectives
annually for the five highest paid executives to the extent they
participate in the Plan, subject to amendments from time to time by the
CEO. The CEO will establish individual performance objectives for all
other Plan participants.
o Company performance objectives will be established based on the Company
budget.
o The CEO will distribute company and individual performance objectives to
each participating executive. Each individual performance objective will
be assigned a percentage weight, with the total of the individual
performance weight equaling 100%.
CALCULATIONS
o Your 1998-1999 base salary is $200,000.00.
o Your annualized target bonus for the 1998 -1999 fiscal year is
$200,000.00. Your bonus payout is calculated using this formula:
A = Your Target bonus amount
B = The achieved percent of the company performance objective
C = The Total achieved percent of your individual performance
objectives
A x B x C = Bonus payout
o When calculating the Total achieved percent of your individual performance
objectives, any performance objective not yet achieved will count as
"zero" until the objective has been completed.
AWARDS
o If you achieve less than 70% of your established individual performance
objectives, no bonus will be paid under the Plan. A bonus may be paid on a
discretionary basis, but in no event in an amount greater than the result
of A x B x C, where C is no greater than the achieved percent of your
individual performance objectives.
o If the company achieves less than 70% of its performance objective, no
bonus will be paid under the Plan. A bonus may be paid on a discretionary
basis.
o At its discretion the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors may
choose to reward exceptional performance by increasing your target bonus
amount up to 25%.
o If you voluntarily terminate your employment or are terminated for cause
prior to the payout you will not be eligible for a bonus award (or as
required pursuant to any individual employment agreements).
