The Company has a cash bonus plan under which annual bonuses may be given based on the Company meeting its annual objectives, and each employee’s meeting of his or her objectives, subject to the terms and conditions of the cash bonus plan. Bonuses are not guaranteed, and whether there will be a bonus in any year, and the size of any bonus if there is one, is within the discretion of the Board of Directors. In this role, you will be eligible for an annual incentive bonus with a target currently set at 55% of your annual base salary, prorated for 2019 in accordance with your start date. In addition, Jazz Pharmaceuticals will pay you a signing bonus of $205,000, less all required withholdings, paid to you in two equal installments. The first payment of $102,500 is payable on the first regular pay date occurring 90 days after your employment start date, and the second payment of $102,500 on the first regular pay date occurring 180 days after your employment start date, subject to your continued employment in good standing with Jazz Pharmaceuticals through each date. Should you voluntarily resign within one year of your employment start date, you will be expected to repay to Jazz Pharmaceuticals $205,000 of the sign on bonus.  If your resignation or termination date is between 12 and 24 months of your start date, you will be expected to repay $125,000 of the sign on bonus paid to you. Such payment would be due within 30 days of the later of your resignation or termination date.
