3. PERSONAL GOALS


Eligible employees will establish at least 3 annual goals in conjunction with the CEO and the Board of Directors.  Progress and achievement of quarterly milestones associated with the annual completion of these goals will be a key factor in determining incentive bonus.  Each eligible employee must have a current goals/objectives sheet completed and quarterly milestones established prior to the commencement of each bonus quarter, with the exception of Q1, which should be established no later than February 1st of the current bonus year. The goals/objectives worksheet must contain both the employee’s and CEO’s signature to participate in the 2005 Executive Management Employees Incentive Plan.



4. CALCULATION AND GOAL ATTAINMENT


As stated, the 2005 Executive Management Employees Incentive Bonus Plan is an annual plan, which is calculated and paid quarterly.  Each quarter, the YTD financial results of the corporation will be reviewed against the EPS Qualification Matrix.  Based on the matrix, the applicable overall percentage of bonus will be applied against four factors; (1) the eligible employee’s YTD base pay, (2) the target incentive bonus amount defined by this plan, (3) the average percentage of quarterly milestone achievement YTD, and (4) the amount of incentive bonus paid YTD through this plan.  Plan calculation details are contained in the Details and Rules of 2005 Incentive Plan for Executive Management Employees Section of this document.







Details and Rules of 2005 Incentive Plan for Executive Management  Employees

1.  Financial Performance and quarterly hold-back provision

Qualification for Incentive Bonus payment is based on total worldwide corporation profitability as measured by the YTD EPS results.  The calculation is completed on a quarterly basis.  There will be a “hold-back” of 20% of each quarter’s incentive amount.  The “held-back” amount will be considered for distribution at the conclusion of the end of the fiscal year based on final annual financial performance of the worldwide corporation and individual personal performance.

2.  Annual Goals, quarterly milestones and calculation

·

Each quarter, the financial results of the corporation will be reviewed using the EPS Qualification Matrix.  Based on the matrix, the applicable overall percentage of bonus will be applied against four factors:

·

The eligible employee’s YTD base pay;

·

The target incentive bonus amount defined by this plan,

·

The YTD average percentage of quarterly milestone attainment realized by the employee and documented on the 2005 Goals/ Quarterly Milestones Worksheets;

·

Less any YTD Bonus paid to the employee through this 2005 plan.

·

Quarterly milestones and annual goals are to be in writing and must be signed by the employee, CEO and Board of Directors.  

·

YTD average milestone attainment is based on the number of milestones/goals assigned vs. actual milestone goal attainment percentage achieved cumulatively over the respective quarters each plan year.

·

A copy of the goals/objective worksheet must be forwarded to Human Resources at the conclusion of each quarter for calculation and retention.

·

If the corporation has reached its’ annual financial goal at the fiscal year-end, the employee may be eligible to receive the “holdback” amount based on their YTD average percentage of quarterly goal attainment and in accordance with other employee eligibility requirements stated in this plan.  

3.  Eligibility

The following eligibility requirements must be met in order for an employee to qualify for participation in this Incentive Bonus program:

·

Must be a full-time, exempt employee.  

·

Must be a member of the Executive Management Team of the corporation as identified and authorized by the Board of Directors.

·

Must have been a continuous, full-time employee of EGL for a minimum of thirty (30) days.   When the conclusion of thirty (30) days occurs within a quarter, the employee will be eligible to participate in the incentive bonus program beginning the next full calendar quarter.  There will be no prorated bonus for partial quarter eligibility.  For example, if an individual was hired January 15th, participation in the Incentive Bonus Plan would begin April 1st.     

·

Must be an active employee of EGL or a wholly-owned subsidiary at the time the incentive amounts are paid.  When an individual leaves the Company participation in the Incentive Plan immediately ends and there is no bonus payment due either in full or on a pro-rata basis for that individual.

·

An Employee may participate in only one incentive bonus plan, MBO plan or commission plan at a time. Participation in more than one incentive bonus plan, MBO plan or commission plan simultaneously is not permitted with the exception of those individuals identified as Regional Vice Presidents over a specific operating region/division of the Company.  With the approval of the CEO and the Board of Directors, individuals identified as Regional Vice Presidents may derive 50% of their incentive bonus from this plan and 50% from the comparable field incentive bonus plan for their area of authority/responsibility.

Note:  Determination of an individual’s eligibility and identification as  “Executive Management” is based solely at the discretion of the company and the Board of Directors.  Base salary does not include any supplemental income, such as car allowance or other bonuses.

4.  Frequency of Payments

·

Incentive Bonus to eligible employees will be calculated based on total worldwide corporation profitability as measured by YTD EPS results each calendar quarter.

·

Incentive Bonus payments will be made to eligible employees as soon as administratively feasible, approximately 60 days after the close of the relevant quarter.  For the last quarter of the year, incentive bonus payments will be made to eligible employees approximately 75 days after the close of the quarter (in order to allow time for year-end close of all financial records).  

5.  Position and/or Base Salary Changes

·

At the conclusion of each quarter, an eligible individual is considered to be a participant in the Incentive Plan pertaining to the position that he/she held for the majority of time in the quarter.  

·

At the conclusion of each quarter, an individual is considered to have the position (and grade) that he/she held for the majority of time in the quarter.  

·

At the conclusion of each quarter, an individual is considered to have the base salary that he/she held for the majority of time in the quarter.

7.  Other:

·

If an otherwise eligible employee is on a Leave of Absence during the incentive quarter, his/her bonus amount will be adjusted to reflect only the time worked during the quarter.

·

If an otherwise eligible employee is on a Leave of Absence at the time incentive bonuses are paid, he/she will be eligible for incentive bonus payment only if/when he/she returns from the Leave of Absence.

·

In the event an employee is eligible under this plan but employed in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Incentive Bonus under this plan will be modified to account for annual statutory bonus paid per Puerto Rican law.

6.  Caveats and reservations

·

The Company, at its sole discretion, may change or discontinue this Plan at any time.  For example, but not limited to:

·

Any acquisitions or divestitures may result in a restatement of this Incentive Plan.  

·

Any anomalies, significant events (such as a new charter operation in a city), or extraordinary circumstances could necessitate adjustments to this incentive plan.  

·

The Company reserves the right to make adjustments for ‘windfall’ situations.

·

Any other adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by executive management and/or the Board of Directors.
