SAMPLE CALCULATIONS (1) A Senior Vice President (X3) has a base salary of $500,000. For fiscal year 2016, the Company achieved 2016 Adjusted Operating Earnings at the maximum level and the Committee determined that the officer met his/her Qualitative Performance Factor at the 200% (maximum) level. The award would be calculated as follows, subject to downward adjustment by the Committee: 50% of $500,000 base salary = $250,000 award opportunity 2016 Adjusted Operating Earnings weighted at 80% and achieved at 200% = 80% x $250,000 = $200,000 x 2 = $400,000 Qualitative Performance Factor weighted at 20% and achieved at 200% = 20% x $250,000 = $50,000 x 2 = $100,000 Total Award = $500,000 (2) A Senior Vice President (X3) has a base salary of $500,000. For fiscal year 2016, the Company achieved 2016 Adjusted Operating Earnings at the target level and the Committee determined that the officer met his/her Qualitative Performance Factor at the 50% (threshold) level. The award would be calculated as follows, subject to downward adjustment by the Committee: 50% of $500,000 base salary = $250,000 award opportunity 2016 Adjusted Operating Earnings weighted at 80% and achieved at 100% = 80% x $250,000 = $200,000 x 1 = $200,000 Qualitative Performance Factor weighted at 20% and achieved at 50% = 20% x $250,000 = $50,000 x 1/2 = $25,000 Total Award = $225,000 (3) A Senior Vice President (X4) has a base salary of $400,000. For fiscal year 2016, the Company achieved 2016 Adjusted Operating Earnings at the 75% level (between threshold and target) and the Committee determined that the officer met his/her Qualitative Performance Factor at the 50% (threshold) level. The award would be calculated as follows, subject to downward adjustment by the Committee: 40% of $400,000 base salary = $160,000 award opportunity 2016 Adjusted Operating Earnings weighted at 80% and achieved at 75% = 80% x $160,000 = $128,000 x 3/4 = $96,000 Qualitative Performance Factor weighted at 20% and achieved at 50% = 20% x $160,000 = $32,000 x 1/2 = $16,000 Total Award = $112,000
