Target Awards may also be a specified fixed dollar amount. 
		

		
			Payment of Target Awards shall be comprised of two components:  Cash and Equity.  The amount of each will be determined by any employment agreements and the Compensation Committee.  Target Awards, and the split between cash and equity, for other Executives, as may be determined in accordance with Section I(A)1, shall be determined by the Compensation Committee

			Achievement of objectives, MBOs, is based on the manager's evaluation of the participant's performance and contribution for the fiscal year based on pre-established objectives.  These objectives will be established using the SMART criteria (specific, measurable, actionable, realistic, & timely) and will be reviewed by the CFO and Human Resources to ensure they meet the SMART criteria and are not in conflict with any company policies or procedures.  This factor determines a portion of an individual's annual target bonus.  The pre-established objectives may have different weightings, as set by the manager, dependent upon such factors as complexity, time-commitment, and importance to the organization.  Achievement of the objectives will be assessed by the manager using the following scale:  full completion = 100% achievement, majority completion = 75% achievement, partial completion = 50% achievement, and no substantive completion = 0% achievement.  If business circumstances change such that an objective is not possible to achieve or needs to be replaced with a higher priority objective, it is incumbent upon the employee to have the new or modified objective officially recognized by his/her manager and shared with the CFO and Human Resources.  Requested changes to objectives after the fiscal year has been concluded will not be considered.
