III. DETERMINATION OF TARGET INCENTIVE COMPENSATION
Your target incentive compensation for the Plan Term is $100,000. The actual
amount of incentive compensation you shall earn shall be based on your success
in achieving the three sales quotas described below:
A. Billings Quota
1. Your Billings quota is $7,000,000 for FY 1999.
2. For actual Billings of $0 - $7,000,000, the bonus will be calculated
by multiplying the actual Billings amount by 0.70%.
3. For Billings in excess of $7,000,000, the bonus will be calculated
by multiplying the amount of Billings in excess of $7,000,000 by
4.00%. No cap shall apply.
4. The Billings bonus will be paid on a quarterly basis through the
normal payroll channel.
5. Billings must be invoiced net 90 days or less and be based upon a
signed contract.
1. Allocation of Billings made to device manufacturers shall be as
follows:
o If the relationship with the device manufacturer has been drive by the
requirements of a wireless carrier in your territory that the UP software
be in the manufacturer's devices, then 50% of the Billing amount will be
credited to the territory in which the wireless carrier is headquartered,
and 50% will be credited to the territory in which the device manufacturer
is headquartered. The Vice President with responsibility for the territory
in which the wireless carrier is headquartered must register his claim for
his share of such Billings with the CEO prior to the date the Billing is
made to be eligible for credit.
o If the relationship with the device manufacturer has been driven other than
by the requirements of a wireless carrier, then 100% of the Billing amount
shall be credited to the territory in which the device manufacturer is
headquartered.
Example: If actual Billings for your Territory for FY 1999 were
$9,000,000, your Billings bonus would be calculated as follows:
$7,000,000*0.70% $ 49,000
$2,000,000*4.00% $ 80,000
-------
Total Billings Bonus $129,000

5. You will receive 100% credit for license, maintenance, consulting and

end of the fiscal quarter in which the commercial license agreement was
signed by the wireless carrier.
