Exhibit 10.18    
    

 
 

DESCRIPTION OF THE
  SIRONA DENTAL SYSTEMS, INC.
  EVA PLAN    
    

	1.
	Purpose.    The purpose of the EVA Plan (the "Plan") is to promote decisions
by officers and management of the company toward sustainable increases in the economic value added (the "EVA") of the company. The Plan also provides an
opportunity for employees covered under collective bargaining agreements or individual employment agreements to participate in and be rewarded for achievement of company EVA goals and business segment
EVA goals.

	2.
	Administration.    The Plan is administered by the company's management.

	3.
	Participation.    The Plan covers most employees in Germany, Austria and Charlotte, North Carolina, including certain
executive officers.

	4.
	Type of Award.    The Plan provides for cash bonus awards, earned based upon year over year improvements in company, business
segment and sales region EVA and is payable following completion of the company's audit for the applicable fiscal year. In some circumstances, a non-discretionary portion of an earned
bonus award is deferred to the next fiscal year (see Bonus Bank, described below).

	5.
	EVA Metric.    The EVA metric is calculated at the end of each fiscal year by calculating earnings before interest expenses
and taxes ("EBIT"), which is then adjusted to add back research and development, restructuring and extraordinary costs determined by the company's management, with Capital Costs (as defined)
subtracted from the adjusted result. Capital Costs are calculated by multiplying working capital at the end of the fiscal year by an average cost of capital, currently 12%.

	

	EVA =
EBIT result (subject to adjustments) – Capital Costs.

	

	The
EVA metric is calculated both at the company level and at the following EVA centers: (i) Treatment centers, (ii) Instruments, (iii) CADCAM,
(iv) Imaging, (v) U.S. CADCAM, (vi) U.S. non-CADCAM, (vii) Germany, (viii) Europe and (ix) the rest of World.

	6.
	EVA Goal Attainment for Participants.    The EVA goal attainment for the participating executive officers and shared service
functions is calculated at the company level. EVA goal attainment for other employees is mainly calculated 40% based on company level EVA and 60% based on the performance of the EVA centers.

	

	The
Plan has been calibrated based on 2004 with targeted EVA growth of €3.4 million per annum at the company level. Attainment at the company level
of €3.4 million year over year growth results in achieving 100% of the EVA goal. Attainment of zero year over year EVA growth at the company level is deemed to be an attainment
of 75% of the EVA goal.

	7.
	Calculation of Bonus Award.    The bonus awards for all participants at the company level is calculated with the same method.
The earned bonus award is the percentage attainment of the EVA Goal multiplied by the bonus amount set forth in each participant's employment agreement. The target bonus amount set forth in each
employment agreement varies from participant to participant. There are no vesting requirements of any award except that a participant must be employed at the time the bonuses are actually paid to
receive the payment.

	8.
	Bonus Bank.    The Plan includes a non-discretionary, unfunded bonus banking mechanism (the
"Bonus Bank") which purpose is to provide a less variable award during each fiscal year and therefore encourage a longer term perspective. As an
illustration, if EVA goals are surpassed in a particular fiscal year (e.g. EVA attainment for that fiscal year was 160%) then 2/3 of the amount exceeding 100% (i.e. 40%) will be credited to the Bonus
Bank (a "Bonus Bank Credit") and will not be paid in the given fiscal year. Instead, a bonus of 120% (160% minus 40%) of the 

participant's
target bonus (as set forth in their employment agreement) will be paid in the given fiscal year. In the case that the target bonus was EUR 10,000 upon achieving 100% of EVA goals, then
such employee would receive EUR 12,000. The Bonus Bank Credit of 40% will be added to the next fiscal year's EVA goal attainment, 2/3 of that fiscal year's amount exceeding 100% will be credited to
following fiscal year's Bonus Bank and so forth. 

	9.
	Termination of Employment.    Pro-rata payments will be made to any person upon termination of his or her
employment for any reason. In addition, any earned funds in his or her Bonus Bank will be paid out upon such termination.

	10.
	Amendment; Termination of the Plan.    The Plan can be terminated at any time, however, the terminated Plan will continue
until another Plan is in place. In addition, the Plan can be amended at any time but such amendment will take effect only upon consent of the German Workers Counsel and only for employees governed by
the Counsel.

Agreement

 

1.                                     Grant of Option. FGX
INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS LIMITED (the “Company”) hereby grants, as of        
(“Date of Grant”), to            (the
“Optionee”) an option (the “Option”) to purchase up to          ordinary
shares of the Company, no par value per share (the “Shares”), at an exercise
price per share equal to $    (the “Exercise Price”). The Option
shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Option was
issued pursuant to the Company’s 2007 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”),
which is incorporated herein for all purposes. The Option is a Non-Qualified
Stock Option, and not an Incentive Stock Option. The Optionee hereby
acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and agrees to be bound by all of the
terms and conditions hereof and thereof and all applicable laws and
regulations.

 

2.                                     Definitions. Unless otherwise
provided herein, terms used herein that are defined in the Plan and not defined
herein shall have the meanings attributed thereto in the Plan.

 

3.                                     Exercise Schedule. Except as
otherwise provided in Sections 6 or 9 of this Agreement, or in the Plan, the Option is exercisable in
installments as provided below, which shall be cumulative. To the extent that
the Option has become exercisable with respect to a percentage of Shares as
provided below, the Option may thereafter be exercised by the Optionee, in
whole or in part, at any time or from time to time prior to the expiration of the
Option as provided herein. The following table indicates each date (the “Vesting
Date”) upon which the Optionee shall be entitled to exercise the Option with
respect to the percentage of Shares granted as indicated beside the date,
provided that the Continuous Service of the Optionee continues through and on

Except as otherwise specifically provided

investment intent with respect to such Shares as may be required by the
Company pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. Such written notice shall be
signed by the Optionee and shall be delivered in person or by certified mail to
the Secretary of the Company or his or her designee. The written notice shall
be accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price. This Option shall be deemed to
be exercised after both (a) receipt by the Company of such written notice
accompanied by the Exercise Price and (b) arrangements that are
satisfactory to the Committee in its sole discretion have been made for
Optionee’s payment to the Company of the amount, if any, that is necessary to
be withheld in accordance with applicable Federal or state withholding
requirements. No Shares shall be issued pursuant to the Option unless and until
such issuance and such exercise shall comply with all relevant provisions of
applicable law, including the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the
Shares then may be traded.

 

5.                                     Method of Payment. Payment of the
Exercise Price shall be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at
the election of the Optionee:

Committee, with Shares owned by the Optionee, or the withholding of Shares that
otherwise would be delivered to the Optionee as a result of the exercise of the
Option, (d) pursuant to a “cashless exercise” procedure, by delivery of a
properly executed exercise notice together with such other documentation, and
subject to such guidelines, as the Committee shall require to effect an exercise
of the Option and delivery to the Company by a licensed broker acceptable to
the Company of proceeds from the sale of Shares sufficient to pay the Exercise
Price and any applicable income or employment taxes, or (e) such other
consideration or in such other manner as may be determined by the Committee in
its absolute discretion.

 

6.                                     Termination of Option.

 

(a)                                  General. Any unexercised portion of
the Option shall automatically and without notice terminate and become null and
void at the time of the earliest to occur of the following:

 

(i)                                     unless

a medical doctor satisfactory to the Committee or (B) the death of the
Optionee;

 

(ii)                                  twelve

another entity, or an affiliate of such
successor or acquiring entity, unless the successor or acquiring entity, or an
affiliate thereof, assumes the Option or substitutes an equivalent option or
right pursuant to Section 10(c) of the Plan, and (ii) the Committee
in its sole discretion may by written notice (“cancellation notice”) cancel,
effective upon the consummation of any transaction that constitutes a Change in
Control, the Option (or portion thereof) that remains unexercised on such date.
The Committee shall give written notice of any proposed transaction referred to
in this Section 6(b) a reasonable period of time prior to the closing date
for such transaction (which notice may be given either before or after approval
of such transaction), in order that the Optionee may have a reasonable period
of time prior to the closing date of such transaction within which to exercise
the Option if and to the extent that it then is exercisable (including any portion

transaction). The Optionee may condition his exercise of the Option upon the
consummation of a transaction referred to in this Section 6(b).

 

7.                                     Transferability. Unless otherwise determined

Optionee, or the Optionee’s guardian or legal representative. In addition, the
Option shall not be assigned, negotiated, pledged or hypothecated in any way
(whether by operation of law or otherwise), and the Option shall not be subject
to execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to transfer,
assign, negotiate, pledge or hypothecate the Option, or in the event of any
levy upon the Option by reason of any execution, attachment or similar process
contrary to the provisions hereof, the Option shall immediately become null and
void. The terms of this Option shall be binding upon the executors,
administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee.

 

8.                                     No Rights of Stockholders. Neither
the Optionee nor any personal representative (or beneficiary) shall be, or
shall have any of the rights and privileges of, a stockholder of the Company
with respect to any Shares purchasable or issuable upon the exercise of the
Option, in whole or in part, prior to the date on which the Shares are issued.

 

9.                                     Acceleration of Exercisability of Option.

 

(a)           Acceleration Upon Certain
Terminations or Cancellations of Option. This Option shall
become immediately fully exercisable in the event that, prior to the
termination of the Option pursuant to Section 6 hereof, (i) the Option
is terminated pursuant to Section 6(b)(i) hereof, or (ii) the Company
exercises its discretion to provide a cancellation notice with respect to the
Option pursuant to Section 6(b)(ii) hereof.

 

(b)           Acceleration Upon Change
