Section 5 (d) (iii) Bonus Pool II Employee shall be entitled to an annual bonus for each calendar year of the term of this Agreement commencing with the calendar year ending December 31, 2005 according to the following formula. Employee shall receive a percentage of a portion of the Net (defined as the “Bonus Pool”) of each of the fund related businesses he is involved in. The total “Bonus Pool” for all participants shall be an amount equal to the sum of 20% of the total revenues less total expenses, less a twelve (12) percent cost of capital (funds invested by KW in the Business, prorated as to time the funds are actually invested during the Bonus Pool calculation time frame) and less an annual KW overhead charge of $75,000 (only charged against one Business Unit and until Fund I’s term expires, Fund I will be that unit).
