FY18 Executive Annual Incentive Plan

Job Category:        Chief Executive Officer

Purpose: Provide critical focus on specific, measurable corporate goals and provide performance-based compensation based upon the level of attainment of such goals.

Bonus Target: The target incentive bonus, as expressed as a percentage of the base salary, and the annual base salary are determined by the Administrator at the beginning of the fiscal year. The Bonus will be calculated based on actual base salary earnings from time of eligibility under the Plan through March 30, 2018. Payment will be subject to applicable payroll taxes and withholdings.

Bonus Payment: The annual incentive bonus will be paid once annually. Payment will be made no later than two and a half months after the end of the fiscal year. Payment made pursuant to this Plan is at the sole discretion of the Administrator of the Plan.

Metrics: Two corporate performance metrics will be used in the determination of the annual incentive bonus payment as determined by the Administrator: non-GAAP Operating Income and non-GAAP Revenue. These two metrics will be equally weighted.

Achievement Schedule: An established threshold must be exceeded for each of the applicable performance metrics before the portion of the bonus applicable to such performance metric will be paid. Payout levels will be determined for each metric in accordance with the payout slopes established and approved by the Administrator. Payouts under both metrics are capped.

Pro-ration: The calculation of the annual incentive bonus will be determined, in part, based on eligible base salary earnings for the fiscal year and, subject to the eligibility requirements below, will be pro-rated based on the number of days the participant is actively employed as a regular status employee of the Company during the fiscal year. If a participant takes a leave of absence from the Company during the fiscal year, any payments received by the participant as an income protection benefit will not be counted toward base salary earnings for the purpose of bonus calculations.

Eligibility: Participant must be a regular status employee on the day bonus checks are distributed to earn the bonus. If the Company grants an interim payment for any reason, the Participant must be a regular status employee at the end of the fiscal year in order to receive such payment. Ongoing contributions toward the Company’s overall success, particularly toward year end, is of particular business importance. As such, a participant who leaves before the end of the fiscal year will not be eligible to earn the annual incentive bonus or any pro-rated portion thereof. The Plan participant must be a regular status employee of the Company at the end of the fiscal year in order to be eligible to receive the annual incentive bonus and at the time the bonus checks are distributed, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator.

Eligibility: To be eligible to participate in the Plan in the given fiscal year, participant must be in an eligible position for at least 90 days before the end of the Plan year. Employee hired into an eligible position with less than 90 days in the Plan year will not be eligible to participate in the annual bonus plan until the next fiscal year.

Exchange Rates: The performance metrics targets will not be adjusted for any fluctuating currency exchange rates. However, when calculating achievement of performance metrics, foreign exchange movements are held constant at plan rates.
