3.              Payout:  Unless otherwise provided in a written agreement with the employee, an employee must remain employed on the last day of the applicable fiscal year to be eligible for any payout under the AIP and employees hired after the beginning of the applicable fiscal year shall have their payouts prorated.

 

a.                   Company Component:  The Company Component payout shall be determined based upon the attainment as certified by the Compensation Committee of the Company Performance Target.

 

i.                 Company Performance Target:  The Company Performance Target (adopted pursuant to Section 10 of the Corporation’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan) shall be the Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Corporation’s 10-K) provided for in the Corporation’s annual financial performance plan for the applicable fiscal year as approved by the Board of Directors (the “Financial Plan”).

 











 

iii.         Payout Scale:  The Company Component payout shall be on a scale as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto (payout for performance that falls between two stated levels shall be determined by linear interpolation).

 

iv.          Supplemental Net Income Threshold for the CEO & CFO:  The Compensation Committee shall have discretion with regard to the CEO and CFO to reduce the Company Component Payout as provided above in the event the Corporation fails to achieve at least 80% of the net income provided for in the Financial Plan (the “Net Income Threshold”).  Determination of achievement of the Net Income Threshold shall be made by the Compensation Committee, but shall exclude the impacts of the following:

 

1.              Gains or losses from the Corporation’s investment in National Cinemedia LLC, including gains or losses from the sale or disposition of all or a portion of the Corporation’s ownership interest (including as-converted shares of National Cinemedia, Inc.) or from adjustments due to changes in the underlying value of the shares of National Cinemedia, Inc.
