No Company Performance Bonus will be paid if the Company’s year-to-date non-GAAP operating income margin as of the end of the applicable quarter is less than 5%. The GPIB is earned and paid quarterly based on the actual year-to-date gross profit percentage increase on orders compared to a target percentage increase. For the first three quarters of the year, payments are limited to a target percentage increase. Payments for the second, third and fourth quarters are calculated based on amounts earned less payments made in prior quarters.
