Annual Cash Bonus. With respect to each calendar year during the Employment Period, the Executive shall be eligible to earn an annual cash bonus. The actual annual bonus will be the product of the target value (the “Target Annual Bonus Amount”) and a factor based on the level of achievement of specified performance measures and goals set by the Compensation Committee (with, subject to the Compensation Committee Charter, input from the Chief Executive Officer) for such calendar year (the “Annual Performance Goals”). The factor is expected to be above 1.0 for above plan performance and below 1.0 if performance is below expectations or corporate goals are not fully met. Performance below a defined threshold level may result in no bonus payment for such measure. For the calendar year 2023 bonus to be paid in 2024, and for each calendar year thereafter, the Target Annual Bonus Amount shall be no less than $1,300,000. The Compensation Committee (with, subject to the Compensation Committee Charter, input from the Chief Executive Officer), in its reasonable judgment and no later than ninety (90) days after the beginning of each calendar year, shall determine the weightings of each performance measure and the threshold, target and maximum for each performance goal, which in aggregate will comprise the “Corporate Scorecard” for that calendar year. Executive’s Annual Performance Goals may be a combination of the “corporate scorecard” and individual contributions of the Executive, and, the weighting thereof, as well as performance versus this criteria, shall be determined by the Compensation Committee (with, subject to the Compensation Committee Charter, input from the Chief Executive Officer), in its reasonable judgment. To the extent that specified performance measures and goals apply to other executives of the Company, the threshold, target and maximum levels associated with such specified performance measures and goals will apply to the Executive in the same manner as they apply to such other executives. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 6, the Executive must be employed on the date on which the annual cash bonus is paid in order to receive payment of any such annual cash bonus pursuant to this [subparagraph 4(b)]. Any annual cash bonus earned pursuant to this [subparagraph 4(b)] shall be paid to the Executive by March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year to which such annual cash bonus relates.

Annual Bonus. In addition to Base Salary, the Executive will be eligible to earn a Bonus for each fiscal year ending during the Protected Period. For each such Bonus, the Target Opportunity will be at least equal to the target opportunity for which the Executive is eligible for the fiscal year in which the Change in Control occurs, as such target opportunity has been established by the Company for such year under the Company’s annual bonus plan, or any comparable successor plan. If the Company has not yet established a Target Opportunity for the Executive for the fiscal year in which the Change in Control occurs, then the Target Opportunity shall be at least equal to the last such target opportunity established by the Company for the Executive. Each such Bonus will be paid no later than 2-1/2 months following the end of the fiscal year for which the Bonus is awarded, unless the Executive has elected to defer receipt of all or part of the Bonus pursuant to a deferral plan sponsored by the Company.

Annual Bonus. In addition to Annual Base Salary, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this paragraph (b), the Executive shall be awarded, for each fiscal year ending during the Employment Period an annual cash bonus (the "Annual Bonus") equal to a percentage of his Annual Base Salary. Such percentage shall be substantially consistent with the targeted percentages generally awarded to other peer executives of the Company and its Affiliated Companies, but at least equal to the higher of # the percentage obtained by dividing his targeted annual bonus for the then current fiscal year by his then Annual Base Salary or # the average percentage of his annual base salary (as in effect for the applicable years) that was paid or payable, including by reason of any deferral, to the Executive by the Company and its Affiliated Companies as an annual bonus (however described, including as annual incentive compensation) for each of the three fiscal years immediately preceding the fiscal year in which the Effective Date occurs (or, if higher, for each of the three fiscal years immediately preceding the fiscal year in which a Change of Control occurs, if a Change of Control occurs following the Effective Date). For the purposes of any calculation required to be made under clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, an annual bonus shall be annualized for any fiscal year consisting of less than twelve full months or with respect to which the Executive was employed for, and received pro-rated annual incentive compensation with respect to, less than the full twelve months, and, if the Executive has not been employed for the full duration of the three fiscal years immediately preceding the year in which the Effective Date occurs, the average shall be calculated over the duration of the Executive's employment in such period. Each such Annual Bonus shall be paid no later than the end of the second month of the fiscal year next following the fiscal year for which the Annual Bonus is awarded, unless the Executive otherwise elects to defer the receipt of such Annual Bonus in accordance with a deferred compensation plan of the Company or its Affiliated Companies that complies with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). The foregoing provisions of this paragraph # shall be qualified by the following terms and conditions. If # as of the end of any fiscal year during the Employment Period the Executive is a “Covered Employee” as defined in Code Section 162(m), (B) Code Section 162(m) remains in effect as of the end of such fiscal year and as of such date is applicable to the payment of an Annual Bonus for such fiscal year and # the Executive participated for such fiscal year in an Annual Incentive Plan (as hereinafter defined), the Annual Bonus for such fiscal year shall be paid to the Executive pursuant to the Annual Incentive Plan, rather than in accordance with the first four sentences of this paragraph (b), in the amount, at the time and upon the other terms and conditions specified in such Annual Incentive Plan; provided, however, that if a Change of Control occurs before such payment is made, the Executive shall be paid, in lieu of such amount and on the date on which such Change of Control occurs, as follows: # as the Annual Bonus for such fiscal year, an amount equal to the greater of # the maximum amount payable to the Executive under the Annual Incentive Plan for such fiscal year assuming achievement thereunder of the Corporate Performance Objective (as hereinafter defined) for such fiscal year and # the maximum amount payable in accordance with the first four sentences of this paragraph (b) and (B) as Annual Bonuses for all prior fiscal years ended during the Employment Period, an amount equal to the aggregate amount, if any, by which the maximum amount otherwise payable in accordance with the first four sentences of this paragraph # for all such prior fiscal years exceeds the aggregate amount of all Annual Bonuses previously paid to the Executive for such prior fiscal years pursuant to the Annual Incentive Plan or otherwise under this paragraph (b). If, as of the end of any fiscal year for which an Annual Bonus is payable pursuant to this paragraph (b), the Executive is not, and at any time during the three full fiscal years preceding such date was not, a “Covered Employee” as defined in [Section 162(m)], the Executive shall be paid the Annual Bonus for such fiscal year in accordance with the first four sentences of this paragraph (b); provided, however, that the amount of the Annual Bonus so paid to the Executive shall be reduced by the amount, if any, of the annual cash bonus paid to the Executive for such fiscal year pursuant to an Annual Incentive Plan. For purposes of this paragraph (b), “Annual Incentive Plan” means an annual cash incentive compensation plan of the Company that # is intended to result in, and, in the opinion of a nationally reputable law firm having significant experience with Code Section 162(m), does result in, the payment of qualified performance-based compensation for purposes of Code Section 162(m) (assuming solely for this purpose achievement of the Corporate Performance Objective to which the payment of such compensation is subject), # conditions the payment of all compensation pursuant thereto on the achievement of a Corporate Performance Objective that is generally applicable to all participants in such plan, and # is administered, and includes a Corporate Performance Objective that is selected, in a manner that is consistent in all material respects with past practice as applied to the most recent annual cash incentive compensation plan of the Company that was in effect prior to the date of this Agreement (December 31, 2009) for which the applicable Corporate Performance Objective was achieved. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Corporate Performance Objective” to which any payment of compensation is subject shall mean the objective performance objective which is selected and established by the Compensation Committee of the Board for purposes of making such payment fully deductible for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Code Section 162(m).

Annual Bonus. For each complete calendar year, Employee shall be eligible to earn an annual bonus (the “Annual Bonus”) of up to 45% of the Base Salary in accordance with Company policy and procedure for granting of a management specified employee bonus, based on achievement of Company and individual performance targets that will be set by the Company as part of the annual budget process and within the Company’s sole discretion. The determination as to whether applicable targets have been achieved, and whether and to what extent any Annual Bonus is to be paid with respect to such targets, shall be made in the sole and absolute discretion of the Company. Any Annual Bonus so determined shall be paid in the month of March following the applicable bonus year, no later than March 31, less such deductions as are required by law or that Employee may elect in accordance with Company policy and procedure. Employee must be fully and actively employed as of the payment date and must not have provided notice of termination for any reason prior to the payment date to be entitled to the Annual Bonus. The Annual Bonus shall be reviewed at least annually by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and may increase (but not decrease) at the Board’s sole and absolute discretion.

Annual Bonus. You will continue to be eligible to receive a performance-based target bonus equal to 100% of your Base Salary pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement, but you will participate in the Annual Bonus plan in which other senior executives of BHI participate.

Annual Bonus. Executive shall not be entitled to an annual bonus for the Initial Term. Any bonuses for the initial term will be the sole discretion of the Board. During a Renewal Term, Executive shall be entitled to such bonuses, on such terms and conditions for such bonuses, as the Parties may agree.

Annual Bonus. Executive will be granted an Annual Performance Period (“APP”) award for service performed in 2018 under the Company's 2017 Incentive Plan, to be determined and paid in cash during early 2019. Under this award, Executive will be entitled to receive between 0% and 200% of his target award, based on performance goal attainment during 2018. Executive’s 2018 APP target award amount will be equal to 100% of his actual 2018 Base Salary, pro-rated for the portion of the year during which he is actually employed. (For example, as the Effective Date is March 1, 2018, the target amount would be $775,000 x 10/12, or $645,833.33). The Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors has determined that the 2018 APP award goal for senior management, including Executive, will be a specified level of Company Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the award agreements). The Committee retains the right to exercise its discretion, after the end of 2018, as in prior years, to determine to what extent the APP awards Executive and the other executive officers have been earned, and reserves the right to take individual performance factors into account, and to employ subjective and objective criteria. (The other terms of this award shall be as specified in the 2018 Annual Performance Award Agreement). Executive will be eligible in 2019 and thereafter to participate in the 2019 APP award or any other annual executive bonus program, as the same may be adopted, amended, modified or terminated by the Company, in accordance with its terms. Target bonuses in future periods will be at the discretion of the Compensation Committee.

a reduction of the Employee’s base salary or target annual cash incentive bonus percentage.

Annual Discretionary Incentive Bonus Opportunity. Employee will have a graduated annual, cash incentive bonus opportunity of 100% of Base Salary for performance at target (and less or no bonus for performance less than target) and up to 200% of Base Salary (or such higher percentage as the Compensation Committee may determine) for performance in excess of target. Performance will be measured against annual financial targets approved by the Compensation Committee which, in the Compensation Committee’s discretion, may be intended to qualify the cash incentive bonus as performance-based compensation under Code Section 162(m). Actual bonus amounts paid for particular levels of performance will be as determined by the Compensation Committee, and such bonus amounts will be paid in cash within 2-1/2 months after the end of each fiscal year.

Annual Bonus. During the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in the Company’s executive bonus plan, under which a discretionary bonus (the “Annual Bonus”) may be awarded by the Board for each calendar year, payable in cash in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the Company’s then applicable short-term bonus or other cash incentive program (each, a “Bonus Program”). The Executive’s aggregate target bonus award for each calendar year will be 30% of his then Base Salary (the “Target Annual Bonus”). The Executive’s actual Annual Bonus may range from a minimum amount of 0% to a maximum of 30% of his Base Salary, and will be determined by the Company and will be contingent upon the attainment of performance goals reasonably established in good faith by the Company. The target date for any Annual Bonus compensation payable to the Executive shall be March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year to which such Annual Bonus relates, subject to the approvals required above. Such Annual Bonuses, if any, are awarded in part to incentivize the Executive to remain in the Company’s employ, therefore it is a condition of any award that the Executive remain employed by the Company through the date the Annual Bonus is paid, except as set forth in Section 5 herein.

Eligibility for 2015 Annual Bonus. Employee will be eligible to receive a cash bonus under the terms and conditions of the Company’s 2015 Bonus Plan, as provided pursuant to [Section 3.2] of the Employment Agreement. The amount of any cash bonus that is awarded to Employee for the 2015 calendar year shall be determined by the Compensation Committee.

Bonus. In addition to Employee’s salary as provided in [Section 3.1], Employee shall be entitled to an annual cash and/or incentive plan bonus computed based upon the earnings of REX American Resources Corporation (“REX”) (the “Bonus”).

Further, you will be eligible to receive a one-time bonus payment as set forth below, which we expect will be paid concurrent with any annual bonus compensation paid under the Company’s annual cash incentive program and will be less applicable deductions and tax withholdings:

Cognex Corporation (the “Company”) maintains a performance-based annual bonus program (the “Bonus Program”) for employees (including the Company’s executive officers), other than those employees on a sales commission plan. Each participant in the Bonus Program is assigned a target annual cash bonus.
