Employee Bonus Plan - 2009


 


1.
Introduction


 


This document describes
the 2009 Lantheus Medical Imaging Employee Bonus Plan and sets forth the
methodology for setting goals and measuring performance that will earn a bonus
when achieved.


 


Lantheus Medical Imaging
believes in a “Pay for Performance” approach to employee compensation. That is,
the Company will provide employees with an annual incentive bonus when
prescribed performance goals are achieved. In addition, this approach also
allows for higher levels of rewards when higher levels of performance are
achieved and less for less than desired results for both company and individual
performance. However, the entire bonus pool will be capped at 100% of the
aggregate target bonus of the eligible employees under this plan.


 


2.
Eligibility


 


All active ‘employees’ of
Lantheus Medical Imaging, excluding Vice Presidents and above who are members
of the Executive Leadership Team, are eligible to participate provided they are
employed during the plan year including at time of the bonus payment. Bonus for
part time employees working 25 hours or more per week and will be prorated
based on hours worked.   Any new
employees hired during the year prior to October 1, will be eligible to
participate on a prorated basis, based on length of employment during the plan
year. Temporary employees and interns are excluded from participation.


 


3.
Target Bonus %


 


Each position has a target bonus % which is established based
on a competitive assessment of the Company’s cash
compensation practices and internal leveling guidelines.  Generally, the higher an employee’s position
level, the higher their target bonus.


 


The target bonus % for
each position remains relatively unchanged from 2008.  Any changes to bonus targets % will be
confirmed prior to September 1, 2009


 


If you have any questions
on the bonus target for your position, please see your manager.

4.
EBITDA Goal Attainment Required for Bonus Pool Funding


 


The 2009 EBITDA goal of $106 million net of the bonus pool must be
achieved for the bonus pool to be funded. Once the bonus pool is funded, bonus
will be paid from this pool based on bonus criteria described in this Plan.


 


The Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors may, at its sole discretion, elect to
partially fund the bonus pool if EBITDA achieved at year end is at least 90% of
the EBITDA target.


 


5. Departmental
Performance Factor


 


All Departments will
establish Departmental Bonus Goals at the beginning of the performance review
period and will communicate these goals to all departmental staff as soon as
possible.


 


Departmental Bonus Goals
are those developed by the respective Department Head and submitted to the CEO
and VP, Human Resources in the beginning of the performance review period.
Department Bonus Goals should be aligned with the goals of the Department Head
and/or Company.


 


Department Bonus Goals
may be modified during the year based on significant changes in the
business.  Mid-year changes to the
Department Bonus Goals require the advanced approval of the ELT members and the
VP, HUMAN RESOURCES.


 


Bonus credit will be
given up to 100% based on goal achievement.


 


6.
Individual Performance Factor (IPF)


 


As before, annual
individual performance reviews will be conducted no later than a target date to
be established in January 2010. The annual performance review will include an
overall individual performance review rating. 
Ratings include Exceeds Expectations, Meets Expectations, Does Not Meet
Expectations and Unacceptable.


 


For purposes of the bonus
calculation, each employee is also assigned an Individual Performance Factor”
(IPF) expressed as a percentage. The IPF enables the manager to further
distinguish performance levels within each rating and appropriately facilitate
bonus and merit calculations. Following year end and during compensation
planning, two levels of management will assign each employee an IPF within the
parameters below:


 


	
  Exceeds Expectations:

  	
   

  	
  IPF Range of 110% to
  125%

  
	
  Meets Expectations:

  	
   

  	
  IPF Range of 90% to
  109%

  
	
  Does not meet
  Expectations:

  	
   

  	
  IPF Range of up to 89%

  
	
  Unacceptable:

  	
   

  	
  IPF of 0%

Administrative Guidelines


 


	
  Timing
  of Payments 

  	
   

  	
  2009 bonus payments (if
  earned) will be made as soon as practicable, but no later than March 15,
  2010.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  Eligible Earnings 

  	
   

  	
  Bonus awards are
  calculated using base salaries effective December 31, 2009.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  New Hires 

  	
   

  	
  New hires are eligible
  for a prorated 2009 bonus if the employee is hired between January 1 and
  December 31, 2009, and is employed on December 31, 2009. If hired on or after
  October 1, 2009, the employee is not eligible for an award under the 2009
  Plan year.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  Status Change 

  	
   

  	
  If a participant’s
  employment status changes from full-time to part-time (or vice versa) on or
  before December 31, 2009, the bonus calculation will be prorated based on the
  number of days worked in each status during the Plan year.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  Poor
  Performance/ Employee on a Performance Improvement Plans

  	
   

  	
  An employee who is on a
  performance improvement plan at year end is not eligible for bonus
  unless the employee is able to meet all the requirements of the performance
  improvement plan within 60 days of the end of the calendar year. If an
  employee has been on a performance improvement plan during the year and has
  subsequently met all requirements of the plan within the calendar year, he or
  she will be eligible for an adjusted employee bonus, if otherwise earned.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  Termination 

  	
   

  	
  If a participant’s
  employment is terminated for any reason or no reason by the participant or
  the Company prior to March 15, 2010, no bonus award or prorated award will be
  due to the participant.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  Leave of Absence 

  	
   

  	
  If a participant is on an approved leave of absence
  (LOA) during 2009, the first 90 days of the leave will be counted as eligible
  time toward the bonus calculation. If the LOA extends beyond 90 days during
  the Plan year, the bonus calculation may be prorated to exclude the amount of
  time on LOA that is in excess of 90 days.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  For example, if the participant worked through April
  30, 2009 (120 days), started an approved leave of absence on May 1 and
  returned to work on November 1, 2009 (LOA of 184 days), and then worked
  through the balance of the year (61 days), the proration factor to be applied
  in the 2009 bonus calculation would be 74% (i.e., total of 181 days worked
  plus first 90 days of LOA equals 271 days, divided by 365).

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  Effect
  on Employment

  	
   

  	
  An employee’s
  eligibility and/or participation in this Plan is not intended to and does not
  confer any right with respect to continued employment with the Company or any
  of its subsidiaries. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as
  interfering with or restricting the right of the Company or any of its
  subsidiaries, or of the participant, to terminate employment with Lantheus at
  any time, with or without cause.

  Adjustments
  for Extraordinary and/or Unforeseen Events

  	
   

  	
  Lantheus reserves the right to adjust the
  established performance goals and/or actual results to reflect the impact of
  extraordinary and/or unforeseen events (e.g., major business transactions,
  accounting changes, etc.). In the same manner, goal attainment may be
  assessed for situations not otherwise reflected in the accounting
  calculations that negatively or positively impact the overall profitability
  of the Corporation. Such adjustments are at the discretion of the CEO and/or
  the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. It is intended that
  adjustments will be made only for extraordinary and/or unforeseen events.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  Plan Changes

  	
   

  	
  The Company retains the right to make adjustments to
  the Plan at any time as deemed necessary and/or appropriate, subject to
  approval (as applicable) by the CEO and/or the Compensation Committee of the
  Board of Directors. The VP, Human Resources is responsible for administration
  of this Plan.
