Except as otherwise provided otherwise herein or by the Company Board or a committee thereof, no Annual Bonus shall be paid to Employee unless Employee is employed by the Company or an affiliate thereof, on the last day of the measurement period; provided, however, that Employee shall remain eligible for a pro-rata Annual Bonus based on Employee’s period of employment with the Company during the final year of the Employment Term, if the Employment Term ends prior ​ end of the calendar year by the Company’s decision not to renew the Agreement, or by not offering to renew the agreement on substantially similar terms and conditions;

Target Annual Bonus. The Participant’s target bonus under the Company’s annual incentive plans for the fiscal year in which such Participant’s Date of Termination occurs (or, if no target bonus has been set for such fiscal year, the Participant’s target bonus for the immediately preceding fiscal year).

Annual Compensation Limitation. The maximum Fair Market Value (determined, with respect to each Award, at the date of grant) of shares subject to Awards granted to any Eligible Director during any calendar year under the Plan, taken together with any fees payable in cash or any other form to such Eligible Director for services rendered as an Eligible Director during the calendar year, shall not exceed ​ in total value. Any dividends, other distributions or Dividend Equivalents that may be payable with respect to an Award will be disregarded for purposes of determining compliance with this [Section 3(e)].

Annual Incentive Plan. In addition to CEO's base Annual Salary, if CEO is employed by USPB on the last day of any employment year (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement), CEO shall be paid an annual incentive compensation, ("Annual Incentive") equal to seventy-five one hundredths of a percent (0.75%) of the sum of the total financial benefits to USPB ("USPB Total Benefits") that exceed ​. USPB Total Benefits are: # audited fiscal year-end USPB earnings before tax; and # the USPB grid premiums which is the net sum of all USPB unitholder and associate grid premiums and discounts calculated through all USPB grids at all plants, taking into account all calculators including, but not limited to, base price, dressing percent, quality grade, outlier cattle, A/V, Natural, per head category premiums, and other specific categories, less the base price calculator excluding any set base price premium. (Example, if ​ per cwt. is paid to a unitholder or associate for one head of cattle over the western Kansas reported USDA average, then ​ per cwt. times the weight of the head of cattle would be added to the net grid premium.) This calculation shall be based on the actual cattle delivered by USPB unitholders and associates to National Beef Packing Company, LLC or its successor under the Cattle Purchase and Sale Agreement. In no event shall the non-delivery penalties paid by members be included in the net sum of all USPB member grid premiums under [clause (2) above]. The Annual Incentive is subject to the following:

Annual Base Salary. The Executive shall be paid an annual base salary ("Annual Base Salary"), in equal biweekly installments or otherwise in accordance with the Company’s then-current payroll practice, at least equal to the annual rate of base salary being paid to the Executive by the Company and its Affiliated Companies as of the Effective Date. The Annual Base Salary shall be reviewed at least annually and shall be increased substantially consistent with increases in base salary generally awarded to other peer executives of the Company and its Affiliated Companies. Any increase in Annual Base Salary shall not serve to limit or reduce any other obligation to the Executive under this Agreement. Annual Base Salary shall not be reduced after any such increase and the term "Annual Base Salary" as utilized in this Agreement shall refer to Annual Base Salary as so increased.

Annual Option Payments. Commencing ​, PEF shall pay an “Annual Option Payment” equal to the product of 30% of 2,000 AF (representing the maximum Annual Volume discussed in [Section 3.1] above) multiplied by that year’s Unit Volume Charge (discussed in [Section 7.2] below).
