FY03 EXECUTIVE ANNUAL INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN
JOB CATEGORY: CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Purpose: Provide critical focus on specific, measurable goals and
to provide incentive compensation upon their attainment.
Bonus Target: The target incentive for this executive position is 100%
of the annual base salary. Annual base salary will be
reviewed and established at the beginning of each fiscal
year. Bonuses will be paid based on actual annual base
salary earnings from time of eligibility in the Executive
Incentive Plan through March 31, 2003.
Bonus Payments: The incentive will be paid once annually. Payment will be
made within six weeks of the financial close of the fiscal
year. Any payments made under this plan are at the sole
discretion of the Board of Directors.
Components: Two metrics will be used to determine the annual bonus
payment:
----------------------------------------
METRIC WEIGHTING
----------------------------------------
Corporate Revenue 50%
----------------------------------------
Corporate Earnings per Share 50%
----------------------------------------
Achievement Schedule: An established threshold must be exceeded for each
respective metric before that portion of the metric will
be paid. The plan is uncapped.
Pro-ration: The Annual Incentive Plan calculation will be based on all
eligible base salary earnings for the year, and will be
pro-rated based on the number of weeks of participation.
Eligibility: The Plan participant must be a regular, full-time employee
at the end of the fiscal year in order to participate. If
the company grants an interim payment for any reason, the
participant must be a regular, full-time employee at the
end of that performance period in order to receive such
payment. A plan participant who leaves before the end of
the fiscal year will not receive the end of the fiscal
year payment under the Plan or any pro-ration thereof.
Exchange Rates: The Corporate Performance metrics will not be adjusted for
any fluctuating currency exchange rates. Actual growth
numbers will be used.
Acquisition: In the event of an acquisition or purchase of products or
technology, the Revenue Growth and Earnings per Share
numbers will be adjusted to reflect the change and are to
be approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors.
Plan Provisions: This plan supersedes any previous incentive or bonus plan
that may have been in existence. Those plans are null and
void with the issuance of this plan for FY03.
Participating in the plan for FY03 does not guarantee
participation in future incentive plans. Plan structures
and participation will be determined on a year to year
basis and are guidelines only.
The Board of Directors reserves the right to alter or
cancel any or all such Plans for any reason at any time.
The Board of Directors, acting on behalf of the
shareholders in their best interests, reserves the right
to exercise their own judgment with regard to company
performance in light of uncontrollable events including,
but not limited to, currency fluctuations, business goal
modification, and management changes.
