Common use of Incentive Cash Compensation Clause in Contracts

Incentive Cash Compensation. (a) For the Company's fiscal year that will begin on January 1, 2005, and for each subsequent fiscal year or portion thereof during the Employment Period, the Executive shall also be eligible to receive incentive cash compensation based on (i) the "Annual Bonus Expectancy Amount," which shall be fifty percent (50%) of the Executive's base salary for such year, and (ii) the Executive's performance in relation to the performance areas and performance targets on which the Executive and the Board or the Compensation Committee shall agree as described below. (b) The Company and the Executive shall agree periodically on performance criteria for determination of the incentive cash compensation that will be payable to the Executive with respect to each fiscal year of the Company. To the extent possible, such agreement shall be made, as to each fiscal year, prior to the end of the first month of such fiscal year. As an example, such performance criteria may be comprised of several designated performance areas and one or more performance targets in each area, and, depending on the targets achieved, the actual amount of incentive cash compensation actually payable to the Executive for each fiscal year will be between zero and the Annual Bonus Expectancy Amount. The Company acknowledges that the business objectives heretofore used in determining the Executive's incentive cash compensation have been, and that the performance areas and performance targets referred to herein shall continue to be, based largely on the input and recommendations of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and that, in exercising its review and supervisory role with respect to the determination and adoption of those performance areas and performance targets, the Board or the Compensation Committee, as the case may be, shall act reasonably and in consultation and cooperation with the Chief Executive Officer and consistently with past practice.

If unforeseen developments occur that make the performance areas and/or targets previously determined unachievable, infeasible, or inadvisable -- and therefore inappropriate as a measure of the performance of the Executive -- the Compensation Committee or the Board shall consider in good faith the extent to which the actual performance of the Executive nevertheless warrants payment of the amounts that would have been payable if the targets had been achieved; and, to such extent, payment shall be made to the Executive. (d) Except as otherwise provided herein or in a future agreement between the Executive and the Company, for any fiscal year that begins before, but ends after, the end of the Employment Period, a pro-rated annual bonus shall be payable to the Executive based on the portion of such fiscal year that shall have elapsed to the end of the Employment Period, the methodology referred to above, and the reasonable, good faith determination of the Compensation Committee or the Board of the extent to which reasonably proportionate progress toward achievement of the applicable performance targets was made from the beginning of such fiscal year to the date the Employment Period ended, provided, however, that under no circumstances shall the Executive be entitled to receive duplicative incentive cash compensation payments under the terms of this Agreement.
