Section 4.9  By the Company or the Executive Following a Change in Control.  

(a)No compensation shall be payable under this Section 4.9 unless and until (a) there shall have been a Change in Control during the Term and (b) Executive's employment by the Company thereafter shall have been terminated in accordance with this Section 4.9. For purposes of this Agreement, a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred if:

(1)Any one person or more than one person acting as a group (as defined in Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(v)(B) of the Treasury Regulations) acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons), ownership of the securities of the Company representing more than 35% of the total voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities; provided, however, that no Change of Control shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of a change in ownership percentage resulting solely from an acquisition of securities by the Company; or

(2)During any twelve (12) month period during the Term, the majority of the individuals who at the beginning of such twelve (12) month period constitute the Board and any new director whose election to the Board or nomination for election by the Company's stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved (such individuals and any such new director being referred to as the “Incumbent Board”) are replaced; provided, however, that to the extent consistent with Section 409A of the Code, no individual shall be considered a member of the Incumbent Board if such individual initially assumed office as a result of either an actual or threatened “Election Contest” (as described in Rule 14a-11 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board (a “Proxy Contest”) including by reason of any agreement intended to avoid or settle any Election Contest or Proxy Contest; or

(3)Consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company (a “Business Combination”), in each case, unless, following such Business Combination, all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners of outstanding voting securities of the Company immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the company resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, a company which, as a result of such transaction, owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company's assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership immediately prior to such Business Combination of the outstanding voting securities of the Company; or

(4)A sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (other than in a transaction in which all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the Beneficial Owners (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of outstanding voting securities of the Company immediately prior to such sale or other disposition beneficially own, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the acquirer of such assets (either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership immediately prior to such sale or other disposition), or the approval by the stockholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

For purposes of this Agreement, the Executive's employment shall be deemed to have been terminated following a Change in Control by the Company without Cause or by the Executive with Good Reason, if (x) the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (whether or not a Change in Control ever occurs) and, at the time of such termination, the Company is a party to a written agreement the consummation of which would constitute a Change in Control, or (y) the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason (whether or not a Change in Control ever occurs) within six (6) months of the occurrence of the event which constitutes Good Reason, or if shorter, the end of the term, and, both at the time the event occurs that constitutes Good Reason and at the time of such termination, the Company is a party to such an agreement. In such event, the Executive shall be entitled to the severance benefits described herein, but notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any severance benefits owing to the Executive pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid at the same time and in the same manner as provided in Section 4.6 in accordance with Section 409A of the Code.

For the avoidance of doubt, the definition of a Change in Control in this Section 4.9(a) is intended to comply with and shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) of the Treasury Regulations and any inconsistencies between such section and this definition (except for the selection of a higher percentage or more stringent ownership requirement contained in this Section 4.9(a)) shall be reformed to the definition of an applicable “change in the ownership,” “change in the effective control” or a “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of the Company, as such terms are defined in Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) of the Treasury Regulations.  As a result, a Change in Control shall only be deemed to occur if such event meets the requirements of Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) of the Treasury Regulations, as such definition may be permissibly limited by this Section 4.9(a).

(b)    Compensation Other Than Severance Payments

(1)If the Executive's employment shall be terminated for any reason following a Change in Control and during the Term, the Company shall pay the Executive's full salary to the Executive through the Date of Termination (the “Accrued Salary”) at the rate in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if higher, the rate in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, together with all compensation and benefits payable to the Executive through the Date of Termination under and in accordance with the terms of the Company's compensation and benefit plans, programs or arrangements as in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control. The Accrued Salary shall be paid to the Executive within thirty (30) days of the Date of Termination, with the payment date determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

(2)If the Executive's employment shall terminate for any reason following a Change in Control and during the Term, the Company shall pay to the Executive the Executive's post-termination compensation and benefits as set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that, the severance benefits provided in Section 4.9(c) hereof, if applicable, shall be exclusive and the Executive shall not be entitled to participate in, or receive severance benefits under, any other severance plan or program that may be adopted by the Company or any other employment agreement.  Any post-termination compensation and benefits shall be determined under, and paid in accordance with, the Company's retirement, insurance and other compensation or benefit plans, programs and arrangements as in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control.

(3)Notwithstanding any provision of any stock option plan, stock incentive plan, restricted stock plan, stock option or similar plan or agreement to the contrary, immediately upon the occurrence of a Change in Control during the Term, and without regard to whether the Executive's employment is terminated, the Executive shall be fully vested in all then outstanding options to acquire stock of the Company (or if such options have been assumed by, or replaced with options for shares of, a parent, surviving or acquiring company, such assumed or replacement options), and all then outstanding restricted shares of stock of the Company and other equity-based awards (including restricted stock units of the Company) (or, in each case, the stock or equity of any parent, surviving or acquiring company into which such restricted shares have been converted or for which they have been exchanged) held by the Executive.  For the avoidance of doubt, settlement of any restricted stock units, the vesting of which is accelerated pursuant to this Agreement, shall occur upon vesting pursuant to this Section 4.9(b)(3), subject to any previous legally binding deferral election or contrary payment date provided for in the applicable award agreement regarding such units.

(c)    Severance Payments

If the Executive's employment is terminated within two (2) years following a Change in Control and during the Term, other than (A) by the Company for Cause, (B) by reason of death, Disability or Retirement, or (C) by the Executive without Good Reason, then the Company shall pay the Executive the following amounts, and provide the Executive the following benefits (collectively, the “Change in Control Severance Payments”), in addition to any payments and benefits to which the Executive is entitled under Section 4.9(b) hereof:

(1)In lieu of any further salary payments to the Executive for periods subsequent to the Date of Termination and in lieu of any severance benefit otherwise payable to the Executive (including pursuant to this Agreement), the Company shall pay to the Executive a lump sum severance payment, in cash, equal to two (2) times the sum of (x) the Executive's Base Salary as in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if higher, in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, and (y) the Executive's target annual bonus(es) or award(s) pursuant to any cash bonus plan (but excluding the Company's LTCP) maintained by the Company in respect of the fiscal year in which occurs the Date of Termination or, if higher, in respect of the fiscal year in which occurs the Change in Control.

(2)For the eighteen (18) month period immediately following the Date of Termination (the “Benefits Continuation Period”), the Company shall arrange to provide the Executive and his dependents life, disability, accident and health insurance benefits substantially similar to those provided to the Executive and his dependents immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, those provided to the Executive and his dependents immediately prior to the Change in Control, at no greater cost to the Executive than the cost to the Executive immediately prior to such date or occurrence; provided, however, such insurance benefits shall be provided through a third-party insurer.  The Company's payment of such premiums shall be paid directly to the relevant third party insurers on a monthly basis.

(3)Notwithstanding any provision of any stock option plan, stock incentive plan, restricted stock plan or similar plan or agreement to the contrary, as of the Date of Termination, (x) the Executive shall be fully vested in all outstanding options to acquire stock of the Company (or the options of any parent, surviving, or acquiring company then held by the Executive) and 

all then outstanding restricted shares of stock of the Company and other equity-based awards (including restricted stock units of the Company) (or, in each case, such parent, surviving or acquiring company) held by the Executive, and (y) subject to any limitation on exercise in any such plan or agreement that may not be amended without stockholder approval, all options referred to in clause (x) above shall be immediately exercisable and shall remain exercisable until the earlier of (1) the third anniversary of the Date of Termination, or (2) the otherwise applicable expiration date of the term of such option. The foregoing provision shall not apply to extend the expiration date of any option that is outstanding (whether vested or unvested) as of the date hereof and that is intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code. For the avoidance of doubt, settlement of any restricted stock units, the vesting of which is accelerated pursuant to this Agreement, shall occur upon vesting pursuant to this Section 4.9(c)(3), subject to any previous legally binding deferral election or contrary payment date provided for in the applicable award agreement regarding such units.

(4)To the extent that the full vesting of any stock option, share of restricted stock or other equity-based award, or the full exercisability of any stock option or other equity-based award, provided for in Section 4.9(b) or Section 4.9(c)(3) should violate any law, rule or regulation of any governmental authority or self-regulatory organization applicable to the Company, or to the extent otherwise determined by the Company in its sole discretion, the Company may, in lieu of providing any vesting or exercisability rights pursuant to Section 4.9(b) or Section 4.9(c)(3), (x) cancel any or all of the Executive's outstanding options in exchange for a lump sum payment, in cash, equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares of stock underlying such options (whether or not vested or exercisable) on the Date of Termination (as reasonably determined by the Board in good faith) over the aggregate exercise price provided for in such stock options, and (y) repurchase any shares of restricted stock or other equity-based awards (including restricted stock units of the Company) at their fair market value (as determined by the Board without regard to the restrictions on such shares of stock).  The lump sum payment provided for in this Section 4.9(c)(4) shall be made, if at all, within thirty (30) days of the Date of Termination, with the payment date determined by the Company in its sole discretion.  For the avoidance of doubt, settlement of any restricted stock units, the vesting of which is accelerated pursuant to this Agreement, shall occur pursuant to this Section 4.9(c)(4), subject to any previous legally binding deferral election or contrary payment date provided for in the applicable award agreement regarding such units.

(5)The Company shall provide the Executive with outplacement services suitable to the Executive's position not to exceed $50,000 in amount and in no event shall such amount be paid to Executive.

(a)    Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article IV to the contrary, in the event the Company terminates the Executive's employment pursuant to Section 4.6 or the Executive terminates his employment pursuant to Section 4.7 and the Executive accepts other employment or provides consulting, advisory or other services during the period in which the Company is required to make payments pursuant to Section 4.6 or Section 4.7, the Executive shall notify the Company in writing that he has accepted such employment or agreed to provide such consulting, advisory or other services and the terms of his employment or engagement. To the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code, the Company's obligation to make payments pursuant to Section 4.6 or Section 4.7 shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar by the amount of compensation earned by the Executive from such other employment or for providing such services during the period in which the Company is required to make payments pursuant to Section 4.6 or Section 4.7.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article IV to the contrary, the Company's obligation to make payments pursuant to Section 4.6, Section 4.7 or Section 4.9 shall immediately terminate in the event the Executive violates in any material respect the provisions of Article V or Article VI of this Agreement.

Section 4.12  Section 409A.    

(a)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Severance Payments and Change in Control Severance Payments to be made to the Executive pursuant to Article IV shall be made in reliance upon Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 409A of the Code, including Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) of the Treasury Regulations (including any exceptions from the application of Section 409A thereunder) or Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations.  For this purpose, each Severance Payment and Change in Control Severance Payment shall be considered a separate and distinct payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.  However, to the extent any such payments are treated as non-qualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, then (a) no amount shall be payable pursuant to this Article IV unless Executive's termination of employment constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury Regulations and (b) if Executive is deemed at the time of his separation from service to be a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then to the extent delayed commencement of any portion of the Severance Payments or Change in Control Severance Payments to which Executive is entitled under this Agreement is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such portion of Executive's Severance Payments or Change in Control Severance Payments shall not be provided to Executive prior to the earlier of (x) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of the Executive's “separation from service” with the Company (as such term is defined in Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury Regulations) or (y) the date of Executive's death.  Upon the earlier of such dates, all payments deferred pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid in a lump sum to the Executive, and any remaining payments due under the Agreement shall be paid as otherwise provided herein.  The determination of whether the Executive is a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code as of the time of his separation from service shall be made by the Company in accordance with the terms of Section 409A of the Code and applicable guidance thereunder (including without limitation Section 1.409A-1(i) of the Treasury Regulations and any successor provision thereto).

(b)Certain Reductions in Payment.

(1)Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if any payment or benefit the Executive would receive from the Company pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise (“Payment”, “Payments” in the aggregate) would, as determined by tax counsel to the Company reasonably acceptable to the Executive (“Tax Counsel”), (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this Section 4.12, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then the Payments will be adjusted to equal the Reduced Amount.  The “Reduced Amount” will be either (1) the largest portion of the Payments that would result in no portion of the Payments (after reduction) being subject to the Excise Tax or (2) the entire amount of the Payments, whichever amount after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from a deduction of such state and local taxes), results in the Executive's receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of the Payments.  If a reduction in Payments is to be made so that the Payments equal the Reduced Amount, (x) the Payments will be paid only to the extent permitted under the Reduced Amount alternative, and the Executive will have no rights to any additional payments and/or benefits constituting the Payments.  In no event will the Company or any stockholder be liable to the Executive for any amounts not 

paid as a result of the operation of this Section 4.12.  No portion of any Payment shall be taken into account which in the opinion of Tax Counsel does not constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Code Section 280G(b)(2), including by reason of Code Section 280G(b)(4)(A) (regarding reasonable compensation for services rendered after a change in control).

(2)The Company shall reduce or eliminate the Payments by (i) first reducing or eliminating those payments or benefits which are payable in cash and (ii) then reducing or eliminating non-cash payments, in each case in reverse order beginning with payments or benefits which are to be paid the furthest in time from the Change in Control. Any reduction made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall take precedence over the provisions of any other plan, arrangement or agreement governing Executive's rights and entitlements to any benefits or compensation.  In applying these principles, any reduction or elimination of the Payments shall be made in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and where two economically equivalent amounts are subject to reduction but payable at different times, such amounts shall be reduced on a pro rata basis but not below zero.

(c)The payments provided for in Article IV (as adjusted by Section 4.12 hereof) shall be made not later than the tenth business day following the Date of Termination, with the payment date determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

(d)The Executive and the Company shall each reasonably cooperate with the other in connection with any administrative or judicial proceedings concerning the existence or amount of liability for Excise Tax with respect to the Payments.  The Company shall pay to the Executive all legal fees and expenses incurred by the Executive (i) in obtaining or enforcing any benefit or right provided by Section 4.9 of this Agreement or (ii) in connection with any tax audit or proceeding to the extent attributable to the application of Section 4999 of the Code to any payment or benefit provided hereunder, provided that, in either case, Executive prevails on the merits of such action.  Such amounts shall be paid in accordance with Section 409A of the Code, including Sections 1.409A-1(b)(11), 1.409A-3(g) and 1.409A-3(i)(1)(v) of the Treasury Regulations.  In the event of a claim as to which Executive only obtains partial recovery or relief, Executive shall be considered to have prevailed if Executive should receive more than 50% of the amount or relief claimed.  Such payments shall be made within five (5) business days after the later of (y) delivery of the Executive's written requests for payment accompanied with such evidence of fees and expenses incurred as the Company reasonably may require delivered within 20 days of a final, non-appealable judgment from a court of competent jurisdiction or the binding conclusion of an audit, investigation or proceeding by the IRS or applicable agency and (z) a final, non-appealable judgment from a court of competent jurisdiction or the binding conclusion of an audit, investigation or proceeding by the IRS or applicable agency.

(e)All reimbursements and in-kind benefits described in this Agreement shall be made in accordance with Treasury Reg. § 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv) to the extent applicable, including the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, and the in-kind benefits provided, during any year pursuant to this Agreement shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided in any other year, the reimbursement is made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year the expense was incurred, and the right to reimbursement or in kind benefit is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

(f)Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, in no event shall any payment under this Agreement that constitutes “deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder be subject to offset by any other amount unless otherwise permitted by Section 409A of the Code.

(g)For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that the amount of any Company-paid premiums for the health insurance benefits provided pursuant to this Article IV shall be taxable to the Executive and included in the Executive's gross income, and that none of the amounts payable hereunder are intended to reimburse Executive for any income taxes payable with respect to such income.

Section 5.2  Nondisclosure of Confidential and Proprietary Information.  

The Executive understands and agrees that Confidential and Proprietary Information will be considered the trade secrets of the Company and will be entitled to all protections given by law to trade secrets and that the provisions of this Agreement apply to every form in which Confidential and Proprietary Information exists, including, without limitation, written or printed information, films, tapes, computer disks or data, or any other form of memory device, media or method by which information is stored or maintained.

To the extent permitted under the U.S. Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 101 et seq.) and any successor statute thereto, the Executive agrees that any copyrightable materials that he has created or creates during his employment that directly relate to the Company's then current or anticipated business, operations or plans will constitute “works made for hire,” and the ownership of such materials will vest in the Company at the time they are created.  The Executive agrees to assign and does hereby assign to the Company (or any person or entity designated by the Company) all his rights, title and interests in and to all Technology and all related patents, patent applications, copyrights and copyright applications.

In consideration for the benefits the Executive is receiving hereunder, the Executive hereby acknowledges, and for other good and valuable consideration, agrees that during the Executive's employment and for two (2) years following the termination of his employment, and without the prior written consent of the Company, the Executive will not, in any manner, directly or indirectly, become an employee, director, consultant or advisor of, or otherwise affiliated with, any retailer principally in the farm and ranch sector with more than five (5) stores or more than $15 million in annual revenues in the United States (a “Company Competitor”) or be associated with or a consultant to, any entity that (i) is a Company Competitor, or (ii) will inevitably result in the disclosure or use of Confidential and Proprietary Information.

To the extent applicable, the arbitration provisions of this Agreement shall comply with Section 409A of the Code.

Section 7.4  Limitations.  

Notwithstanding the arbitration provisions set forth herein, Employee and the Company acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require the arbitration of any claim or controversy arising under Articles V or VI of this Agreement.

The parties have executed this Agreement based upon the express terms and provisions set forth herein and have not relied on any communications or representations, oral or written, which are not set forth in this Agreement.

Section 8.5  Legal Consultation.  

Both parties have been accorded a reasonable opportunity to review this Agreement with legal counsel prior to executing this Agreement.

Section 8.6  Choice of Law. 

This Agreement and the performance hereof will be construed and governed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its choice of law principles.

Section 8.7  Successors and Assigns.

(a)    The obligations, duties and responsibilities of the Executive under this Agreement are personal and shall not be assignable.  In the event of the Executive's death or disability, this Agreement shall be enforceable by the Executive's estate, executors or legal representatives.

(b)    In addition to any obligations imposed by law upon any successor to the Company, the Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in accordance with its terms.  Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption and agreement prior to or upon the effectiveness of any such succession shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.

Section 8.8  Waiver of Provisions.

Any waiver of any terms and conditions hereof must be in writing and signed by the parties hereto.  The waiver of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other terms and conditions hereof.

Section 8.9  Severability.

Section 8.10  Remedies.  

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that upon any breach by the Executive of his obligations under Articles V or VI hereof, the Company would suffer irreparable injury and will have no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, the Company will be entitled to seek specific performance and other appropriate injunctive and equitable relief without the necessity of proving actual damages.  No remedy set forth in this Agreement or otherwise conferred upon or reserved to any party shall be considered exclusive of any other remedy available to any party, but the same shall be distinct, separate and cumulative and may be exercised from time to time as often as occasion may arise or as may be deemed expedient. The Executive represents that enforcement of a remedy by way of injunction will not prevent him from earning a livelihood.  The Executive further represents and admits that time periods contained in Article VI are reasonably necessary to protect the interest of the Company and would not unfairly or unreasonably restrict the Executive.

Section 8.11  Counterparts.  

This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, and all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 8.12  Compliance with Section 409A.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Company determines that any compensation or benefits payable or provided under this Agreement may be subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Company may, with the consent of the Executive, adopt such limited amendments to this Agreement and appropriate policies and procedures, including amendments and policies with retroactive effect, that the Company reasonably determines are necessary or appropriate to (i) exempt the compensation and benefits payable under this Agreement from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the compensation and benefits provided with respect to this Agreement or (ii) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.  By accepting this agreement, Executive hereby agrees and acknowledges that the Company makes no representations with respect to the application of  Section 409A of the Code to any tax, economic, or legal consequences of any payments payable to Executive hereunder (including, without limitation, payments pursuant to Article IV above) and, by the acceptance of this Agreement, Executive agree to accept the potential application of Section 409A of the Code to the tax and legal consequences of payments payable to Employee hereunder (including, without limitation, payments pursuant to Article IV above).  

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and the Executive have caused this Agreement to be executed as of the day and year first written above.

Exhibit A

 

CEO Bonus Plan

For Fiscal Year 2011 & Beyond

 

Purpose:

 

To structure an incentive plan that aligns the interests of the CEO; the principal shareholders; and the relevant stakeholders of the company toward achieving optimum results for the respective constituents. Objectives (set annually by the Board of Directors; and, consistent with the investment thesis developed by Paine & Partners (f/k/a/ Fox Paine) in its 2006 acquisition of Wire Rope Corporation of America) will consist of: (i) attainment of annual budgeted Adjusted EBITDA results audited annually; (ii) achievement of certain business objectives mutually established by the Board of Directors and the CEO for the respective fiscal year; and, (iii) the Board’s discretionary assessment of the CEO’s leadership impact on the business; on its managers and employees; and, on its future growth.

 

Structure; measurements; and application:

 

The bonus plan, exclusively structured for the CEO, is designed to pay a bonus of 1.00% of Adjusted EBITDA for achievement of 100% of the budgeted Adjusted EBITDA; successful completion of the key objectives established for the fiscal year; and, the Board’s judgment that the CEO exhibited the leadership and maintained the ethical standards representative of the business goals and objectives of WireCo WorldGroup (Cayman), Inc. (“WireCo”). If WireCo exceeds budgeted Adjusted EBITDA by 10%, the bonus plan payment has the potential to reach a maximum target of 1.80% of Adjusted EBITDA.

 

Three factors contribute to the total bonus payout:

 

	  	
i.)

	
Numerical measurement based on the audited Adjusted EBITDA contributes 75% of the annual bonus potential;

 

	  	
ii.)

	
Achievement of key objectives for the fiscal year contributes 12.5% of the annual bonus potential; and

 

	  	
iii.)

	
The Board’s assessment of the CEO’s “non-objective performance” contributes 12.5% of the annual bonus potential.

 

Range of bonus potential:

 

	  	
i.)

	
The minimum performance by the company in order for any bonus payment to be made requires achievement of 90% of the budgeted Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year. At 90% of budgeted Adjusted EBITDA, the bonus target would be 0.05% of Adjusted EBITDA ($52,000, based on the 2011 budget of $115.899 million).

 

	  	
ii.)

	
As the Adjusted EBITDA approaches the budgeted Adjusted EBITDA (between 90% and 100%) the bonus target potential increases as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA from 0.05% to 1.00%, as described below.

 

	  	
iii.)

	
The bonus potential continues to increase, as described below, until it reaches a maximum target of 1.80% of Adjusted EBITDA, which is achieved when Adjusted EBITDA reaches 110% of the budgeted Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year.

 

 

Calculation of Bonus:

 

The actual calculations for the cash payout to the CEO will be determined by the following:

 

	  	
i.)

	
The cash portion due strictly to attainment of financial goals will equal 75% of the “Performance-Based Amount,” which will be determined as follows: If actual Adjusted EBITDA is 90% of budgeted Adjusted EBITDA, the Performance-Based Amount shall equal 0.05% of Adjusted EBITDA; if actual Adjusted EBITDA is between 90% and 100% of budgeted Adjusted EBITDA, the Performance-Based Amount shall equal (x) Adjusted EBITDA times (y) the sum of (i) 0.05% and (ii) the number of percentage points by which actual Adjusted EBITDA exceeds 90% (rounded to the nearest 10th of a point and taken as a non-percentage amount) multiplied by 0.095%; if actual Adjusted EBITDA is 100% of budgeted Adjusted EBITDA, the Performance-Based Amount shall equal 1.00% of Adjusted EBITDA; if actual Adjusted EBITDA exceeds 100% of budgeted Adjusted EBITDA, the Performance-Based Amount shall equal (x) Adjusted EBITDA times (y) the sum of (i) 1.00% and (ii) the number of percentage points by which actual Adjusted EBITDA exceeds 100% (rounded to the nearest 10th of a point and taken as a non-percentage amount) multiplied by 0.080%; plus,

 

	  	
ii.)

	
An additional cash component shall be based on Board’s performance review of CEO’s accomplishments versus planned objectives. The expectation is that this amount will equal 12.5% of the Performance-Based Amount, but the Board has the discretion to adjust the amount upward or downward based on its assessment of the CEO’s 

 

 

  

  

  

 

	 	 	
accomplishments in respect of key objectives. And, finally;

 

	  	
iii.)

	
An additional cash component shall be based on Board’s subjective evaluations of the CEO’s leadership impact during the applicable fiscal year. The expectation is that this amount will equal 12.5% of the Performance-Based Amount, but the Board has the discretion to adjust the amount upward or downward based on its assessment of the CEO’s intangible/subjective achievements.

 

The sum of these three cash payouts would constitute the CEO’s annual performance-based bonus.

 

Bonus Calculation Examples:

 

This bonus calculation example uses the 2011 annual budgeted Adjusted EBITDA as proposed by WireCo management and accepted by the Board of Directors. Subsequent year’s bonus calculations will use the annual budgeted Adjusted EBITDA as proposed by WireCo management and accepted by the Board of Directors.
