The amount of the incentive pool that is paid out as annual cash bonuses for each executive officer was determined by an equal weighting of achievement of the AOI goal (50%) and aggregate achievement of the Company Performance Goals (50%).

“AOI” is an operational metric used for the purposes of measuring the CIP payout and is defined as operating income, excluding CIP expense, share-based compensation and
