Specifically, the 2014 Plan provides that 5% of the 2014 EBIT achieved by the Company  will be paid to the participants in the 2014 Plan, which amount will be increased to 10% of the 2014 EBIT for every dollar of 2014 EBIT that exceeds the amount set forth in the Company's 2014 budget, with no maximum.
