Based upon our current Annual Executive Bonus Plan, you will also be eligible to earn an annual target bonus equal to 60% of your base pay ($174,000), based on the achievement of individual objectives (25% weighting) and Mercury Computer Systems financial goals (75% weighting). The target bonus is paid annually, generally in August and is pro-rated for FY10 based on date of hire. You will be eligible for a salary review in FY 2011 along with the other members of the executive team. Any executive salary changes are recommended by Mark and approved by the Compensation Committee based upon the FY individual performance as well as internal and external pay relationships.
