The American President will be eligible for a percentage of the pool to be recommended by the Eagle CEO and shall be approved by the Committee. The American President will recommend the distribution of the remainder of the company pool. For each participant in the Plan, the maximum annual bonus award opportunity is represented by the percentage of the pool assigned to such participant. The participants in the Plan and their percentage of the pool will be approved by the Eagle CEO (except for the American President and his percentage which shall be approved by the Committee) at the beginning of the fiscal year for which the bonus is being earned.
The American President’s bonus opportunity shall be 50% goal based, 10% budget based and 40% discretionary taking into consideration overall job performance and compliance with Eagle Policies and Code of Ethics. All participants in the Plan must have the ability to significantly affect the performance of the subsidiary company by achieving measurable, quantifiable objectives. The American President will determine the objective and discretionary balance of bonus opportunities for the other participants in this Plan, subject to approval by the Eagle CEO.
At the beginning of the fiscal year goals and objectives shall be established for each participant. Objectives should be measurable and focus on areas that have meaningful impact on our operational performance.
At the close of the fiscal year the American President will review each participant’s overall performance and each participant’s achievement of the goals and objectives submitted at the beginning of the fiscal year and recommend the distribution of the pool to the participants. Distribution of the pool to all participants other than the American President requires the approval of the Eagle CEO. Distribution of any portion of the pool to the American President requires the recommendation of the Eagle CEO and the approval of the Committee.
Any portion of the Company Operating Pool not paid out (unearned) or forfeited will be added to the Special Situation Program (the “SSP”) at Corporate.
