Annual Bonus. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual target bonus (a “Bonus”) if, as reasonably determined by the Board or, to the extent delegated by the Board, the Committee one or more of the performance targets annually determined by the Board or the Committee (“Performance Targets”) is achieved. If all of the Performance Targets are achieved, the Bonus will equal not less than 40 percent of the Executive’s Base Salary (the “Target Bonus”). In the event that less than all of the Performance Targets are met by Executive, the Bonus paid in respect of this paragraph may be less than the Target Bonus. Except as set forth in Section 5(a) hereof, the Executive must be employed by the Company on the day any such earned Bonus is paid which shall be not later than 2½ months after the end of each calendar year. The Executive’s target bonus opportunity as a percentage of Base Salary may be reviewed periodically and adjusted in the sole discretion of the Board. After any such adjustment, the term “Target Bonus” shall refer to the increased amount.

Annual Bonus. Executive shall also be eligible to receive, in addition to the Base Salary, an annual bonus having a target amount equal to 55% of Executive's Base Salary ("Target Bonus"), with the actual amount being determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board in its discretion taking into account the Company's performance and Executive's individual performance. In order to receive a Target Bonus, Executive must be employed by Employer on the date the bonus is paid.

Annual Bonus. Executive is eligible to earn a target annual bonus of 100% of Executive’s Base Salary based upon achievement of performance objectives to be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion after conferring with Executive and payable upon achievement of those applicable objectives, subject to minimum and maximum limits as established by the Committee (the “Annual Bonus”). If the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines the applicable performance objectives are achieved in a manner that would result in a payment of the Annual Bonus (or portion thereof), such amount will be paid when practicable after the Committee determines the relevant performance objectives have been achieved, subject to Executive being employed on the date of payment; provided, however, that if the Employment Term is not extended as a result of a notice from the Company or Executive to the other, Executive only shall be required to be employed on the last day of a performance period in order to be eligible for the annual bonus for such performance period and the annual bonus for such performance period shall be paid no later than 2 1⁄2 months following the end of such performance period . The Committee may modify the structure and performance objectives used for Annual Bonus determinations.

Annual Bonus. In addition to his Base Compensation, Executive shall be eligible to receive each year during the Term, a cash incentive payment (“Bonus”) in an amount determined by the Board based on Executive’s individual performance, the performance of Company and performance goals established by the Board. The target Bonus shall be an amount equal to 75% of Executive’s Base Compensation in effect at the time the Bonus is determined (“Target Bonus”). Such Bonus, if any, shall be paid not later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Bonus was earned. Except as otherwise stated expressly in this Agreement, Executive must be employed with Company through December 31 of the calendar year during which the Bonus is earned to receive any part of the Bonus payment.

Bonus. During the Employment Period, Executive will participate in the Company’s annual bonus plan applicable to senior executives and thereunder be eligible to receive an annual cash bonus (the “Bonus”) in the amount of 60% of the Base Salary upon achievement of target-level performance (the “Target Bonus”). The actual amount of any Bonus shall be determined pursuant to the annual bonus plan, which shall be determined by the Board. All Bonuses shall be paid in the calendar year following the calendar year to which they relate at the same time bonuses are paid to other senior executives of the Company, and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make payment of any such Bonus by March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year to which such Bonus relates. To the extent any terms of the applicable bonus plan conflict with the terms of this Agreement, the plan’s terms shall control. In addition, the Company may amend, restate or terminate its bonus plan in its sole discretion from time to time and Executive’s receipt of any bonus is subject to meeting eligibility requirements.

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.

Annual Bonus Compensation. During the Term, Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual bonus (the “Annual Bonus”) pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Company’s annual incentive plan for executive officers (or any successor thereto). Based upon attainment of performance goals predetermined by the Compensation Committee, Executive shall be entitled to an Annual Bonus payment at a target level of 50% of Executive’s Annual Salary. The Compensation Committee shall review the target annual bonus percentage during the Term and may increase such percentage as it may deem advisable (such target annual bonus, as the same may be increased, the “Target Annual Bonus”).

Bonus. With respect to each fiscal year that ends during the Employment Term, commencing with fiscal year 2024, the Executive shall be eligible to receive a bonus in such amounts and based upon achievement of such corporate and/or individual performance and other criteria as shall be approved by the Compensation Committee from time to time, with a target amount, if such performance and other criteria are achieved, of eighty-five percent (85%) of the Base Salary (the “Target Bonus Amount”), which bonus shall be paid in a manner consistent with the Company’s bonus practices then in effect. The Target Bonus Amount and the maximum payout for any subsequent renewal Term of the Agreement shall be determined by the Compensation Committee. To be eligible to receive a bonus, the Executive must be employed by the Company on the date the bonus is paid.

Annual Bonus. In addition to the Base Salary, the Executive shall have the opportunity annually to earn as a bonus ninety percent (90%) of his Base Salary (the “Target Award Opportunity”). In determining the actual bonus earned each year by the Executive (the “Annual Bonus”), the HR Committee, in consultation with the Executive, shall have the discretion to increase the Annual Bonus above or decrease the Annual Bonus below the Target Award Opportunity for that year. In so doing, the HR Committee’s determination shall be based upon an assessment of the performance of both the Executive and the Company taking into consideration such performance goals as may be established by the HR Committee periodically in consultation with the Executive. Any Annual Bonus due hereunder shall be payable to the Executive no later than the 15th day of the third month following the end of the year to which the Annual Bonus relates (subject to a reasonable delay in payment due to an unforeseeable event making it administratively impracticable to make the payment by such time).

Bonus. During the Period of Employment, the Executive will be entitled to participate in a cash bonus program. For any fiscal year of the Company that occurs during the Period of Employment, the bonus program for such fiscal year will be based on certain financial, operational, or other metrics or goals, and may include a component based on the Executive’s individual performance and contributions to the Company, all as determined by the Board (or a committee thereof) in its sole discretion. The Executive’s target bonus for a fiscal year (commencing with fiscal year 2018) shall be 100% of the Executive’s Base Salary for such fiscal year, with the Executive’s actual bonus for any year to be determined by the Board (or a committee thereof). The Executive’s bonus (if any) for a particular fiscal year shall be paid not later than two and one-half months following the end of that fiscal year. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 3, the Executive must be employed by the Company on the date that the Company actually pays bonuses under such program for a particular fiscal year in order to be considered for and to have earned his bonus (if any) for such fiscal year.
