Aggregate Pool: |
|
With respect to each Measurement Period, the Pool shall be the aggregate amount of the Annual Awards distributable to all Participants based upon the achievement of the Performance Objectives, which shall be calculated independently and in accordance with the tables above. Annual Award, for any Participant, means the award opportunity established for that Participant pursuant to this Subplan. The aggregate amount of the |
|
|
Pool for the applicable Measurement Period shall, if the Performance Objectives are achieved at the target, threshold or maximum levels, equal the sum of each Participants target, threshold or maximum Annual Award, as the case may be. |
|
|
|
|
|
With respect to each Measurement Period, in the event the Performance Objectives are between the threshold and target levels, or between the target and maximum levels, the aggregate amount of the Pool shall be calculated on a straight line interpolation basis between the two applicable levels. |
|
|
|
|
|
Annual Awards may be adjusted during a Measurement Period for changes in compensation in the ordinary course. The aggregate Pool amount shall (1) exclude Participants who terminate employment during the applicable Measurement Period and such Participants will not be eligible to receive an Annual Award payment, and (2) include any newly eligible Participants and such Participants shall be eligible to receive an Annual Award payment. |
|
|
|
Allocation of Pool: |
|
The distribution of the aggregate Pool will be as follows: (1) (a) those officers of the Company appointed to the Companys executive committee from time to time (including the Chief Financial Officer), (the Executive Officers), and (b) those other managing employees designated by the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer (with the Executive Officers, the First Tier Employees), are paid at the attained EBITDA Performance Objective level, unless adjusted by such Chief Executive Officer and/or Chief Operating Officer based on individual performance; and (2) all other Participants shall be paid their portion of the Pool based on their applicable Performance Objective pursuant to administrative procedures approved by the Companys Chief Executive Officer, which may include adjustment of such amount based on the Participants individual performance. |
|
|
|
|
|
The aggregate Annual Award payments with respect to each Measurement Period shall not exceed the amount of the Pool for such Measurement Period. |
|
|
|
Annual Awards: |
|
The Chief Executive Officer or such delegates as he designates in his sole discretion shall determine (1) the eligibility of each employee (other than First Tier Employees) to participate in the Plan, (2) the amount of the Annual Award for each Participant (other than First Tier Employees), (3) the individual performance objectives, if any, applicable to the Participants for purposes of determining their Annual Award payments, and (4) the adjustment in such Participants Annual Award payments based on their individual performance, in each case subject to the terms of the Plan and this Subplan. |

|
|
|
|
