2005 PERFORMANCE
OBJECTIVE



2005 PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE



The 2005 performance objective for the Bonus Plan is 85% based on Operating Income and 15%
based on Revenue for the full year of AMO performance. Operating Income is defined as sales less cost of goods sold and all basic operating expenses of the business. Revenue is defined as the total dollar payment for goods
and services that are credited to the income statement over the measurement period.



The bonus is funded when AMO achieves the threshold level of Operating Income and Revenue performance as indicated below. If the Operating Income and Revenue funding trigger thresholds are not met, no bonuses will be paid out.

Target percentages for corporate

A participants
actual bonus award may vary above or below the targeted level based on the supervisors evaluation of his or her performance in relation to the predetermined MBOs. Each participant may receive from 0% to 150% of his or her target bonus amount.
However, the total of all bonus awards given within each region/function must total no more than 100% of the total bonus pool dollars allocated to that region/function.
