Schedule
A
Xx.
Xxxxxx’ Bonus for any fiscal year (the “Applicable Fiscal Year”) shall be based
on the criteria set forth below. There are two components
to his Bonus: EBITDA and quality of care. In the event the
EBITDA performance threshold is met as outlined below, his minimum bonus shall
be no less than 10% of his Base Salary for the Applicable Fiscal Year, and
his
maximum Bonus shall be no more than120% of his Base Salary for the Applicable
Fiscal Year.
1. Maximum
Amount. The maximum amount of the Bonus shall be based upon
the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of Sun
(“EBITDA”), as published by Sun in its press release announcing financial
results for the Applicable Fiscal Year, but excluding the effect of actuarial
adjustments for self-insurance for general and professional
liability. The Compensation Committee reserves the right to make
adjustments to the calculation, including the inclusion or exclusion of
discontinued operations and other normalizing adjustments.
The
Compensation Committee shall
establish the EBITDA target each year.The potential amount
of
the Bonus shall be based upon actual EBITDA attained as a percentage
of the target EBITDA as follows: if actual EBITDA is less than 85% of
target EBITDA, the maximum amount of the Bonus (the “Maximum Amount”) will be
zero; if actual EBITDA is 85% of target EBITDA, the Maximum Amount will be
10%
of Base Salary; if actual EBITDA is 100% of target EBITDA, the Maximum Amount
will be 50% of Base Salary (if actual EBITDA is greater than 85% but less than
100% of target EBITDA, the amount will be pro rated between 10% and 50% of
Base
Salary); and if actual EBITDA is 115% (or greater) of target EBITDA, the Maximum
Amount will be 120% of Base Salary (if actual EBITDA is greater than 100% but
less than 115% of target EBITDA, the Maximum Amount will be pro rated between
50% and 120% of Base Salary).
2. EBITDA
Component. Subject to
the provisions
of paragraph 3 below, in the event that the Maximum Amount is greater than
zero,
then Xx. Xxxxxx shall be paid 100% of the Maximum
Amount.
3. Quality
of Care Component. If the quality of care target
is met, the EBITDA Component shall be paid in the amount determined as set
forth
above. If the quality of care target is not met, the Compensation
Committee shall deduct such amount of the EBITDA Component as it determines
in
its discretion from the amount otherwise payable. The quality of care
target is met if quality of care at skilled nursing centers operated by
SunBridge Healthcare Corporation and its subsidiaries
(“SunBridge”) is better than or equal to the quality of care at
skilled nursing centers of SunBridge’s for-profit peer group of companies for
the Applicable Fiscal Year (or the twelve month period ending as close as
possible to the end of Applicable Fiscal Year for which data are available
at
the time the Compensation Committee considers the amount of the Bonus), in
each
case as measured by the Health Deficiency Index reported by the Long Term Care
Institute.
4. Timing
of Payment. The Bonus shall be paid to Xx. Xxxxxx at the
time specified in Section 3(b).
