5.

7.
Bonus Scheme
(i) Annual Incentive Plan (AIP)

You will be a member of the discretionary DST annual bonus scheme.

The Compensation Committee of DST Systems' Board of Directors determines participation in the AIP and the applicable financial goals from year to year. As of the effective date of this agreement, executive bonuses depend on levels of goal achievement determined by the Committee, and you have the opportunity to earn a bonus. Depending on the level of applicable goals achieved your target opportunity is 135% of your base salary. The Compensation Committee may suspend, modify or terminate the annual incentive program and has complete discretion over its administration.

If the aggregate level of goals achieved falls below the Threshold level, there would be no bonus payment but for everything above Threshold and below Maximum, then your bonus payment will be pro-rated. The bonus is capped at 150% of base salary
To receive a bonus, individuals must be still employed, in an eligible position and not under notice of resignation at the time the bonus is paid.

(ii) Long-term Incentive Plan (LTI)

Consideration will be given to your entitlement in any Equity Plans established at a level consistent with your seniority within the company and DST Systems Inc. Final decisions reside with the Compensation Committee of DST Systems Inc.

Time-based RSUs: If the RSUs have not been outstanding for at least one year from the grant date, they are forfeited.  If they have been outstanding for at least one year from the grant date, they fully vest.

Performance Share Units: If awards have not been outstanding for at least one year from the grant date, they are forfeited.  If they have been outstanding for at least one year from the grant date, vesting is delayed until the regular vest date after performance period (for 2017 grant, in March 2020).  The number of awards vesting depends on the level of goal achievement.
