On March 17, 2009, the Committee also approved the CyberSource Corporation 2009 Executive Bonus Plan, which provides for bonuses for all eligible CyberSource employees with a title of vice president or above (“Participant”) based on the Company’s achievement of certain annual financial targets. Upon the Company’s achievement of its internal, full year non-GAAP operating income target set forth in the 2009 financial plan, adopted and approved by the Board, as may be amended from time to time at the sole discretion of the Board, all Participants, will receive a target bonus amount. Non-GAAP operating income excludes stock based compensation, depreciation and amortization expense and certain non-recurring items. For each Participant the target bonus amount is fixed. For each Participant who is a named executive officer, the target bonus amount is as set forth in the table below. Participants may also be eligible for incremental bonuses, which are bonuses in excess of the target bonus amounts. The incremental bonus pool will be funded with one dollar for every dollar of achievement in excess of the Company’s full year non-GAAP operating income target set forth in the 2009 financial plan until the incremental bonus pool is fully funded. For each Participant who is a named executive officer, the maximum incremental bonus amount is as set forth in the table below.

The total, pre-tax dollar amount of target bonus (including incremental bonus if applicable) paid to each Participant is comprised of two components. Seventy-five percent (75%) of the bonus amount is based on overall Company performance relative to its full year, non-GAAP operating income target. Twenty-five percent (25%) of the bonus amount is based on the performance of each individual Participant. For each Participant who is a named executive officer (other than
