Determination of Awards | | Goals |
| | | | |
| | Each fiscal year, Management will establish minimum financial goals for the Corporation and each Business Unit for Plan purposes. If the Corporation and the Business Unit fail to meet these minimum goals for the year, then Management may, in its sole discretion, authorize incentive payments to any, all, or none of the participants in the Plan. |
| | | | |
| | If the Corporation and the Business Unit meet the minimum financial goals for the year, incentive awards will be determined on the basis of actual performance during the incentive year as compared with established goals, as described below, and as indicated on the attachment to this Plan. |
| | | | |
| | · | | Management shall establish the financial goals required for threshold, target and maximum incentive awards for each incentive level. |
| | · | | The threshold, target and maximum business unit goals applicable to each participant shall be based on the annual business plan and other relevant data. |
| | · | | Individual performance goals will be established by the appropriate management authority for each participant. |
| | · | | Management shall establish the relative weighting of the above mentioned goals for each business unit and incentive level. |
| | · | | A threshold, target and maximum incentive award shall be established for each participant, expressed in terms of a percentage of that participant’s salary. |
| | | | |
| | Individual incentive awards will be deemed earned based on the degree to which all established goals are attained for the incentive year. Interpolation will be used between the designated award levels. If the Corporation and/or Business Unit performance exceed the maximum financial goals, the COO may recommend, and the CEO may designate incentive payments in excess of percent payouts on the attachment to this Plan. In the event a participant is rated “marginal or partially met” on his or her individual annual performance evaluation, no incentive payment is awarded except at the discretion of the appropriate management authority. |
