	29.	 	401(k) SAFE HARBOR PROVISIONS (Plan Section 12.8)
	 
	 	 	Will the ADP and/or ACP test safe harbor provisions be used? (select a., b., or c.)

	 	NOTE:	 	 If the Employer wants the discretion to determine whether the provisions
will apply on a year-by-year basis, then the Employer may either select 29.a. (No) OR
29.b. or 29.c. and option 29.e.2.
	 
	 	 a.  þ 	 	No. (If selected, skip to Question 30.)
	 
	 	 b.  o 	 	Yes, but only the ADP (and NOT the ACP) test safe harbor provisions will be used.
	 
	 	 c.  o 	 	Yes, both the ADP and ACP test safe harbor provisions will be used.
	 
	 	 	 	IF c. is selected, does the Plan permit Employer matching contributions in addition
to any safe harbor contributions selected in d. or e. below?

	 	 1.  o 	 	No or N/A. Any Employer matching contributions, other than any safe
harbor matching contributions
selected in d. below, will be suspended in any Plan Year in which the safe
harbor provisions are used.
	 
	 	 2.  o 	 	Yes, the Employer may make Employer matching contributions in addition to
any ADP test safe harbor matching contributions selected in d. below. (If selected,
complete the provisions of the Adoption Agreement relating to Employer matching
contributions (i.e., Question 30.) that will apply in addition to any selections made
in d. below. Also, no allocation conditions may be imposed at 30.F.)

	 	 	THE EMPLOYER WILL MAKE THE FOLLOWING ADP TEST SAFE HARBOR CONTRIBUTION FOR THE PLAN YEAR:

	 	NOTE:	 	 The ACP test safe harbor is automatically satisfied if the only matching
contribution made to the Plan is either (1) a Basic Matching Contribution or (2) an Enhanced
Matching Contribution that does not provide a match on Elective Deferrals in excess of 6% of
Compensation.
	 
	 	 d.  o 	 	Safe Harbor Matching Contribution (select 1. or 2. AND one from 3. - 6.)

	 	 1.  o 	 	Basic Matching Contribution. The Employer will make matching contributions
to the account of each “eligible Participant” in an amount equal to the sum of 100% of
the amount of the Participant’s Elective Deferrals that do not exceed 3% of the
Participant’s Compensation, plus 50% of the amount of the Participant’s Elective
Deferrals that exceed 3% of the Participant’s Compensation but do not exceed 5% of the
Participant’s Compensation.
	 
	 	 2.  o 	 	Enhanced Matching Contribution. The Employer will make matching
contributions to the account of
each “eligible Participant” in an amount equal to the sum of:

	 	 a.  o 	 	                    % (may not be less than 100%) of the Participant’s Elective Deferrals
that do not exceed

                    % (may not be less than 3%; if over 6% or if left blank, the ACP
test will still apply) of the Participant’s Compensation, plus
	 
	 	 b.  o 	 	                    % of the Participant’s Elective Deferrals that exceed                     % of the
Participant’s Compensation but do not exceed                     % (if over 6% or if left blank,
the ACP test will still apply) of the Participant’s Compensation.
	 
	 	NOTE:	 	 a. and b. must be completed so that, at any rate
of Elective Deferrals, the matching contribution is at least equal to what
the matching contribution would be if the Employer were making Basic
Matching Contributions (as defined in 29.d.1. above), but the rate of
match cannot increase as deferrals increase. For example, if a. is
completed to provide a match equal to 100% of deferrals up to 4% of
Compensation, then b. need not be completed.

	 	 	 	AND, the safe harbor matching contribution will be determined on the following basis
(and Compensation for such purpose will be based on the applicable period):

	 	3.  o 	 	the entire Plan Year.
	 
	 	4.  o 	 	each payroll period.
	 
	 	5.  o 	 	all payroll periods ending with or within each month.
	 
	 	6.  o 	 	all payroll periods ending with or within each Plan Year quarter.

	 	 e.  o 	 	Safe Harbor Nonelective Contributions. (select one)

	 	 1.  o 	 	Fixed. The Employer will make a Safe Harbor Nonelective Contribution to the
account of each “eligible Participant” in an amount equal to _________% (may not be less than
3%) of the Employee’s Compensation for the Plan Year.
	 
	 	 2.  o 	 	Discretionary (“maybe”). The Employer may elect to make a Safe Harbor
Nonelective Contribution after a Plan Year has commenced in accordance with the
provisions of Plan Section 12.8(h). If this option e.2. is selected, the Safe Harbor
Nonelective Contribution will be required only for a Plan Year for which the Plan is
amended to provide for such contribution and the appropriate supplemental notice is
provided to Participants.
	 
	 	 3.  o 	 	Other Plan. The Employer will make a Safe Harbor Nonelective Contribution
to another defined contribution plan maintained by the Employer (specify the name of
the other plan): _______.

	 	 	FOR PURPOSES OF THE ADP test safe harbor contribution, the term “eligible Participant” means
any Participant who is eligible to make Elective Deferrals with the following exclusions:

	 	 f.  o 	 	N/A. No exclusions.
	 
	 	 g. o 	 	Exclusions (select all that apply, if any):

	 	 1.  o 	 	Highly Compensated Employees.
	 
	 	 2.  o 	 	Employees who have not satisfied the greatest minimum age and service
conditions permitted under Code Section 410(a) (i.e., age 21 and 1 Year of Service),

	 	NOTE: 	 	Regardless of any selection below, if the ACP test safe harbor is being
used (i.e., Question 29.c. is selected), then the Plan automatically provides that only
Elective Deferrals up to 6% of Compensation are taken into account in applying the
match set forth below and that the maximum discretionary matching contribution that may
be made on behalf of any Participant is 4% of Compensation.
	 
	 	A.	 	Matching Formula.

Elective Deferrals.
	 
	 	 d.  o 	 	The Employer will make matching contributions equal to a uniform percentage
of each tier of each
Participant’s Elective Deferrals, determined as follows:

	 	NOTE: 	 	Fill in only percentages or dollar amounts, but
not both. If percentages are used, each tier represents the amount of
the Participant’s applicable contributions that equals the specified

	 	 	                    	%

	 	 e.  o 	 	The Employer will make matching contributions equal to a
uniform percentage of each Participant’s Elective Deferrals based on the
Participant’s Years of Service (or Periods of Service if the Elapsed Time method is
selected), determined as follows (add additional tiers if necessary):

ARTICLE III

FINAL SECTION 415 REGULATIONS

	3.1	 	Effective date. The provisions of this Article III shall apply to limitation years beginning on
and after July 1, 2008.
	 
	3.2	 	415 Compensation paid after severance from employment. 415 Compensation shall be adjusted, as
set forth herein and as otherwise elected in Article II, for the following types of
compensation paid after a Participant’s severance from employment with the Employer
maintaining the Plan (or any other entity that is treated as the Employer pursuant to Code
§414(b), (c), (m) or (o)). However, amounts described in subsections (a) and (b) below may
only be included in 415 Compensation to the extent such amounts are paid by the later of
2 1/2
months after severance from employment or by the end of the limitation year that includes the
date of such severance from employment. Any other payment of compensation paid after severance
of employment that is not described in the following types of compensation is not considered
415 Compensation within the meaning of Code §415(c)(3), even if payment is made within the
time period specified above.

(a)
Regular pay. 415 Compensation shall include regular pay after severance of employment if:

(1) The payment is regular compensation for services during the participant’s regular
working hours, or compensation for services outside the participant’s regular working
hours (such as overtime or shift differential), commissions, bonuses, or other similar
payments; and

(2) The payment would have been paid to the participant prior to a severance from
employment if the participant had continued in employment with the
Employer.

(b) Leave cashouts and deferred compensation. Leave cashouts shall be included in 415
Compensation, unless otherwise elected in Section 2.2 of this Amendment, if those amounts
would have been included in the definition of 415 Compensation if they were paid prior to the
participant’s severance from employment, and the amounts are payment for unused accrued bona
fide sick, vacation, or other leave, but only if the participant would have been able to use
the leave if employment had continued. In addition, deferred compensation shall be included in
415 Compensation, unless otherwise elected in Section 2.2 of this Amendment, if the
compensation would have been included in the definition of 415 Compensation if it had been
paid prior to the participant’s severance from employment, and the compensation is received
pursuant to a nonqualified unfunded deferred compensation plan, but only if the payment would
have been paid at the same time if the participant had continued in employment with the
Employer and only to the extent that the payment is includible in the participant’s gross
income.

(c) Salary continuation payments for military service participants. 415 Compensation does not
include, unless otherwise elected in Section 2.2 of this Amendment, payments to an individual
who does not currently perform services for the Employer by reason of qualified military
service (as that term is used in Code §414(u)(1)) to the extent those payments do not exceed

DC 415

	 	 	the amounts the individual would have received if the individual had continued to perform
services for the Employer rather than entering qualified military service.
	 
	 	 	(d) Salary continuation payments for disabled Participants. Unless otherwise elected in
Section 2.2 of this Amendment, 415 Compensation does not include compensation paid to a
participant who is permanently and totally disabled (as defined in Code §22(e)(3)). If
elected, this provision shall apply to either just non-highly compensated participants or to
all participants for the period specified in Section 2.2 of this Amendment.
	 
	3.3	 	Administrative delay (“the first few weeks”) rule. 415 Compensation for a limitation year
shall not include, unless otherwise elected in Section 2.2 of this Amendment, amounts earned
but not paid during the limitation year solely because of the timing of pay periods and pay
dates. However, if elected in Section 2.2 of this Amendment, 415 Compensation for a limitation
year shall include amounts earned but not paid during the limitation year solely because of
the timing of pay periods and pay dates, provided the amounts are paid during the first few
weeks of the next limitation year, the amounts are included on a uniform and consistent basis
with respect to all similarly situated participants, and no compensation is included in more
than one limitation year.
	 
	3.4	 	Inclusion of certain nonqualified deferred compensation amounts. If the Plan’s definition of
Compensation for purposes of Code §415 is the definition in Regulation Section 1.415(c)-2(b)
(Regulation Section 1.415-2(d)(2) under the Regulations in effect for limitation years
beginning prior to July 1, 2007) and the simplified compensation definition of Regulation
1.415(c)-2(d)(2) (Regulation Section 1.415-2(d)(10) under the Regulations in effect for
limitation years prior to July 1, 2007) is not used, then 415 Compensation shall include
amounts that are includible in the gross income of a Participant under the rules of Code §409A
or Code §457(f)(1)(A) or because the amounts are constructively received by the Participant.
[Note if the Plan’s definition of Compensation is W-2 wages or wages for withholding purposes,
then these amounts are already included in Compensation.]
	 
	3.5	 	Definition of annual additions. The Plan’s definition of “annual additions” is modified as
follows:

(a) Restorative payments. Annual additions for purposes of Code §415 shall not include
restorative payments. A restorative payment is a payment made to restore losses to a Plan
resulting from actions by a fiduciary for which there is reasonable risk of liability for
breach of a fiduciary duty under ERISA or under other applicable federal or state law, where
participants who are similarly situated are treated similarly with respect to the payments.
Generally, payments are restorative payments only if the payments are made in order to restore
some or all of the plan’s losses due to an action (or a failure to act) that creates a
reasonable risk of liability for such a breach of fiduciary duty (other than a breach of
fiduciary duty arising from failure to remit contributions to the Plan). This includes
payments to a plan made pursuant to a Department of Labor order, the Department of Labor’s
Voluntary Fiduciary Correction Program, or a court-approved settlement, to restore losses to a
qualified defined contribution plan on account of the breach of fiduciary duty (other than a
breach of fiduciary duty arising from failure to remit contributions to the Plan). Payments
made to the Plan to make up for losses due merely to market fluctuations and other payments
that are not made on account of a reasonable risk of liability for breach of a fiduciary duty
under ERISA are not restorative payments and generally constitute contributions that are
considered annual additions.

(b) Other Amounts. Annual additions for purposes of Code §415 shall not include: (1) The
direct transfer of a benefit or employee contributions from a qualified plan to this Plan; (2)
Rollover contributions (as described in Code §§401(a)(31), 402(c)(1), 403(a)(4), 403(b)(8),
408(d)(3), and 457(e)(16)); (3) Repayments of loans made to a participant from the Plan; and
(4) Repayments of amounts described in Code §411(a)(7)(B) (in accordance with Code
§411(a)(7)(C)) and Code
§411(a)(3)(D) or repayment of contributions to a governmental plan (as defined in Code
§414(d)) as described in Code §415(k)(3), as well as Employer restorations of benefits
that are required pursuant to such repayments.

(c) Date of tax-exempt Employer contributions. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the
contrary, in the case of an Employer that is exempt from Federal income tax (including a
governmental employer), Employer contributions are treated as credited to a participant’s
account for a particular limitation year only if the contributions are actually made to the
plan no later than the 15th day of the tenth calendar month following the end of the calendar
year or fiscal year (as applicable, depending on the basis on which the employer keeps its
books) with or within which the particular limitation year ends.

	3.6	 	Change of limitation year. The limitation year may only be changed by a Plan amendment.
Furthermore, if the Plan is terminated effective as of a date other than the last day of the
Plan’s limitation year, then the Plan is treated as if the Plan had been amended to change its
limitation year.
	 
	3.7	 	Excess Annual Additions. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if the
annual additions (within the meaning of Code §415) are exceeded for any participant, then the
Plan may only correct such excess in accordance with the Employee Plans Compliance Resolution
System (EPCRS) as set forth in Revenue Procedure 2006-27 or any superseding guidance,
including, but not limited to, the preamble of the final §415 regulations.
	 
	3.8	 	Aggregation and Disaggregation of Plans.

(a) For purposes of applying the limitations of Code §415, all defined contribution plans
(without regard to whether a plan has been terminated) ever maintained by the Employer (or a
“predecessor employer”) under which the participant receives annual additions are treated as
one defined contribution plan. The “Employer” means the Employer that adopts this Plan and all
members of a controlled group or an affiliated service group that includes the Employer
(within the meaning of Code §§414(b), (c), (m) or (o)), except that for purposes of this
Section, the determination shall be made by applying Code §415(h), and shall

DC 415

take into account tax-exempt organizations under Regulation Section 1.414(c)-5, as modified
by Regulation Section 1.415(a)-1(f)(1). For purposes of this Section:

(1) A former Employer is a “predecessor employer” with respect to a participant in a plan
maintained by an Employer if the Employer maintains a plan under which the participant had
accrued a benefit while performing services for the former Employer, but only if that
benefit is provided under the plan maintained by the Employer. For
this purpose, the
formerly affiliated plan rules in Regulation Section 1.415(f)-1(b)(2) apply as if the
Employer and predecessor Employer constituted a single employer under the rules described in
Regulation Section 1.415(a)-1(f)(1) and (2) immediately prior to the cessation of
affiliation (and as if they constituted two, unrelated employers under the rules described
in Regulation Section 1.415(a)-1(f)(1) and (2) immediately after the cessation of
affiliation) and cessation of affiliation was the event that gives rise to the predecessor
employer relationship, such as a transfer of benefits or plan sponsorship.

(2) With respect to an Employer of a participant, a former entity that antedates the
Employer is a “predecessor employer” with respect to the participant if, under the facts and
circumstances, the employer constitutes a continuation of all or a portion of the trade or
business of the former entity.

(b) Break-up of an affiliate employer or an affiliated service group. For purposes of
aggregating plans for Code §415, a “formerly affiliated plan” of an employer is taken into
account for purposes of applying the Code §415 limitations to the employer, but the formerly
affiliated plan is treated as if it had terminated immediately prior to the “cessation of
affiliation.” For purposes of this paragraph, a “formerly
affiliated plan” of an employer is a
plan that, immediately prior to the cessation of affiliation, was actually maintained by one
or more of the entities that constitute the employer (as determined under the employer
affiliation rules described in Regulation Section 1.415(a)-1(f)(1) and (2)), and immediately
after the cessation of affiliation, is not actually maintained by any of the entities that
constitute the employer (as determined under the employer affiliation rules described in
Regulation Section 1.415(a)-1(f)(1) and (2)). For purposes of this paragraph, a “cessation of
affiliation” means the event that causes an entity to no longer be aggregated with one or more
other entities as a single employer under the employer affiliation rules described in
Regulation Section 1.415(a)-1(f)(1)and (2) (such as the sale of a subsidiary outside a
controlled group), or that causes a plan to not actually be maintained by any of the entities
that constitute the employer under the employer affiliation rules of Regulation Section
1.415(a)-1(f)(1) and (2) (such as a transfer of plan sponsorship outside of a controlled
group).

(c) Midyear Aggregation. Two or more defined contribution plans that are not required to be
aggregated pursuant to Code §415(f) and the Regulations thereunder as of the first day of a
limitation year do not fail to satisfy the requirements of Code §415 with respect to a
participant for the limitation year merely because they are aggregated later in that
limitation year, provided that no annual additions are credited to the participant’s account
after the date on which the plans are required to be aggregated.

ARTICLE IV

PLAN COMPENSATION

	4.1	 	Compensation limit. Notwithstanding Amendment Section 4.2 or any election in Amendment
Section 2.2, if the Plan is a 

401(k) plan, then participants may not make elective
deferrals with respect to amounts that are not 415 Compensation. However, for this
purpose, 415 Compensation is not limited to the annual compensation limit of Code
§401(a)(17).
	 
	4.2	 	Compensation paid after severance from employment. Compensation for purposes of allocations
(hereinafter referred to as Plan Compensation) shall be adjusted, unless otherwise elected in
Amendment Section 2.2, in the same manner as 415 Compensation pursuant to Article III of this
Amendment if those amounts would have been included in Compensation if this was paid prior to
the Participant’s severance from employment, except in applying Article III, the term
“limitation year” shall be replaced with the term “plan year” and the term “415 Compensation”
shall be replaced with the term “Plan Compensation.”
	 
	4.3	 	Option to apply Plan Compensation provisions early. The provisions of this Article shall
apply for Plan Years beginning on and after July 1, 2008, unless another effective date is
specified in Section 2.2 of this Amendment.

This
amendment has been executed this Tuesday day of October 27, 2009.

Exhibit 10.10

EZCORP, Inc. Fiscal Year 2010 Incentive Compensation Program

EZCORP

FY 2010 Incentive

Compensation Program

 

 

FY 2010 Incentive Compensation Program

Policy

It is a policy of EZCORP, Inc. and its wholly owned affiliates (also referred to as “the
Company”) to offer a total compensation package which is commensurate with the job assigned,
competitive within the affiliated industry, and reflective of the value of each individual’s
performance and overall contribution towards the short and long term success of the Company.

As a supplement to the base compensation paid and stock awards granted by EZCORP, the Company
offers the FY2010 Incentive Compensation Program (the “Program”) to reward the accomplishment of
corporate, business unit, and personal objectives for select key associates. This Program is
designed to motivate selected associates to strive for excellence in both Company and specific
personal objectives and provides incentive compensation awards for their achievement.

Objectives

The primary objectives of the EZCORP Incentive Compensation Program are:

	 	1.	 	To provide an incentive for individuals to drive their performance to achieve
strategic Company and personal objectives.
	 
	 	2.	 	To attract, retain and motivate top-quality associates who are able to add
significant value to the Company’s performance.
	 
	 	3.	 	To provide incentive compensation opportunities which are competitive for the
associate levels and the affiliated industry.

Eligibility for Participation

The Compensation Advisory Group (President/CEO, SVP Administration and the SVP & General
Counsel) will select the positions that will participate in the Program. Participants are
generally selected from positions that typically have incentive-based compensation components in
the industry and from individuals who make meaningful and substantial contributions to the
business. Participation in the Program will be determined prior to the beginning of the fiscal
year. Eligible associates will usually be drawn from:

	 	1.	 	Officers and Executives of the Company.
	 
	 	2.	 	Regional and Corporate Director Level Management
	 
	 	3.	 	Key Management individuals as determined by the Compensation Advisory Group and
approved by the Board Compensation Committee.

 

 

Setting of Financial Measurements and Individual Objectives

Company Objective:

The President/CEO will recommend, and the Board of Directors will approve, specific financial
measures that, along with Individual Objectives, will be used to determine the incentive awards for
the year.

Individual Objectives:

The Executive Committee will determine overall departmental objectives and assign some or all
of those objectives as Individual Objectives to specific individual participants. Individual
Objectives may be either business financial objectives, such as operating income, or strategic
objectives that are related to specific projects, operational responsibilities or plan
implementations.

Awards will be based on the level of attainment of both the Company Objectives and the Individual
Objectives of each participant. However, the Board of Directors will set a minimum financial
threshold that must be attained for any incentive compensation to be paid.

Company management will conduct periodic progress reviews with participants during the year in Key
Performance Review (KPR) meetings to monitor progress and ensure on-going focus and alignment.

FY 2010 Company Objectives and Incentive Targets 

Net Income will be used as the Company Objective to determine actual financial award payouts
for FY2010. For purposes of this Program, “Net Income” is defined as the net income shown on the
audited financial statements. Except for the Chairman of the Board, President/CEO and EVP & COO,
the Compensation Committee may adjust the “Net Income” for any special items, charges and credits,
which the Board Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, determines are unusual or
infrequently occurring events or situations and also are not subject to the direct control of
management. The Company Objective for the Chairman of the Board, President/CEO and EVP & COO may
not be changed after being established prior to the beginning of the fiscal year.

The payout based upon financial participation for a participant can be read from the following
matrix based on FY2010 “Net Income.”

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	Net Income	 	Minimum	 	Target	 	Maximum
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	Bonus Payout
	 	 	50	%	 	 	100	%	 	 	150	%

The Net Income goal required for bonus payout at each of the above levels (“Minimum,” “Target” and
“Maximum”) shall be set by resolution of the Board of Directors and communicated to each plan
participant.

FY 2010 Individual Objectives and Incentive Targets

	 	1.	 	The Board Compensation Committee establishes all of the Incentive Compensation Program
objectives for the Chairman of the Board, the President/CEO and the EVP & COO. The
Chairman of the Board, President/CEO and the EVP & COO do not have Individual Objectives as
defined by this Program and will have their incentive award determined solely by the

 

 

	 	 	 	achievement of the overall Company’s Financial Objectives (including individual business
financial results) as approved by the Board Compensation Committee.
	 
	 	2.	 	The Executive Committee establishes Departmental Objectives for FY2010 for all other
participants. Based upon those Departmental Objectives, participants are assigned
Individual Objectives for the FY2010 Incentive Compensation Program. Except for the
Company Objectives of the Chairman of the Board, the President/CEO and the EVP & COO, these
Individual Objectives are subject to revisions based upon changing circumstances as deemed
appropriate by the President/CEO throughout the year.
	 
	 	3.	 	The quality of the output of specific Individual Objectives is a substantial portion of
the payout rating. To ensure consistency in the scoring of the performance in achieving
Individual Objectives by individual participants, the following definitions and payout
structure are provided:

	 	 	 
	* Achieved or exceeds the target goal

	 	Payout 100%
	* Slight miss of the target goal

	 	Payout 50% or 75%
	* Miss minimum target goal

	 	Payout zero

	 	4.	 	The Individual Objectives portion of the incentive award is maximized at 100% of the
allocated percentage. However, if the Company achieves the maximum payout level for the
Company Objective, specific Individual Objectives may be rated as high as 150% for
participants if the performance justifies that rating. For participants, other than the
Chairman of the Board, the President/CEO and the EVP & COO, the Executive Committee will
determine scores to be given.
	 
	 	5.	 	The relative weighting of Company and Individual Objectives will be determined based
upon the individual position and the amount of control they have on the achievement of the
Objectives. Therefore, individual participants will have different weighting between
Company and Individual Objectives, as determined by the Executive Committee or the Board
Compensation Committee, as appropriate, and communicated to each participant.

 

 

Calculation of Incentive Compensation Payout

The Company Objectives and the Individual Objectives will be scored based upon the actual results
achieved for the Program year. Each participant’s actual payout will be determined using the
formula below:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	A.	 	% Company Objective Participation
	 	 	       	%	 	(A1)	 	(assigned, see personal documentation)
	 	 	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	Matrix Rating
	 	 	       	%	 	(A2)	 	(Company financial goal; percent achievement)
	 	 	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	(A1 x A2) =
	 	 	       	%	 	(A3)	 	(Company Objective Factor)
	 	 	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	B.	 	% Individual Objectives Participation
	 	 	       	%	 	(B1)	 	(assigned, see personal documentation)
	 	 	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	Weighted Rating for Individual Objectives
	 	 	 	%	 	(B2)	 	(sum of all individual objective ratings divided
	 	 	 
	 	 	       	 	 	 	 	by the number of assigned objectives)
	 	 	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	(B1 x B2) =
	 	 	       	%	 	(B3)	 	(Individual Objective Factor)

Incentive Program Funding

Funding for the Incentive Compensation Program will be based on the number of participants
selected for the individual Program year and their individual level of participation. At the
beginning of each fiscal year, a budget will be established based on participant information and on
economic, operational and financial profitability. The full amount of the Program payouts will be
included in the administrative expense of the Company prior to the determination of the Company’s
final results for ICP purposes. Therefore, the funding of the ICP payouts is a part of the
financial results of the Company for incentive calculations.

Administration of the Program

Amendments to or termination of the Program

While it is the intention of the Company to provide an incentive compensation plan
annually, the Company, with the approval of the Compensation Committee, reserves the right
to:

	 	•	 	Amend or modify the incentive plan in its entirety;
	 
	 	•	 	Suspend or terminate the Program at any time.     

Performance Measurement

	 	1.	 	Except for the Chairman of the Board, the President/CEO and the EVP & COO (whose awards
are determined by the Board Compensation Committee based upon their specific criteria), the
Executive Committee, at its sole discretion, will score each Individual Objective and the
individual performance of each ICP participant as it relates to that specific Individual
Objective. Participants who share a common Individual Objective may be rated differently
based upon their contribution to the achievement or lack of achievement of that specific
objective.
	 
	 	2.	 	The fact that an associate is initially selected as eligible to participate in the ICP
does not mean that he or she is entitled to or guaranteed receipt of an incentive
compensation award.
	 
	 	3.	 	Actions taken by a participant in the Program to enhance his or her incentive pay at
the expense of the long-term benefit of the Company will result in the participant being
disqualified as a Program participant, at the sole discretion of the Company.
	 
	 	4.	 	Except for the Chairman of the Board, the President/CEO and the EVP & COO, if it can be
determined by the Company, at its sole discretion, that a participant’s actions throughout
the ICP year did not support or actually worked against their team’s ability to meet its
objective, the participant will not receive any incentive compensation award even if all of
the objectives are obtained. For the Chairman of the Board, the President/CEO and the EVP
& COO, the Board Compensation Committee will make this determination and their decision
will be final and binding.
	 
	 	5.	 	The Compensation Advisory Group reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to
establish the measurement systems associated with this Program and to approve in advance,
departmental and Individual Objectives.

 

 

	 	6.	 	Any participant who receives an “UNSATISFACTORY” appraisal rating as determined by the
Company or the Board Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, for the incentive
period will not be eligible for an incentive award for that period. Incentive
awards for participants with a “MARGINAL” appraisal rating (except for the Chairman of the
Board, the President/CEO and the EVP & COO) for the incentive period must be approved by
the President/CEO in writing before being awarded.

No Implied Contract

The information presented in this Program shall not in any way be construed to constitute a
binding employment or compensation contract between the Company and its associates, nor shall it in
any way affect the “employment-at-will relationship” between associates and the Company.

Rules Concerning Awards Payments and Participation

	 	1.	 	Participants normally must be employed with the Company at the time incentive payments
are made to be eligible to receive an award unless:

	 	a.	 	The participant is taking normal retirement.
	 
	 	b.	 	The participant has been approved, in writing, by the
Board Compensation Committee to receive a bonus award payout at a time
when the participant is no longer actively employed.

	 	2.	 	In the event of either of the two exceptions above, the participant will be eligible to
receive a prorated amount of the bonus award based upon the portion of the bonus year that
they were actively employed by the Company.
	 
	 	3.	 	Participants who voluntarily or involuntarily leave the service of the Company shall
not be entitled to receive an award at the end of the Program year, except as noted above.
	 
	 	4.	 	Except for the Chairman of the Board, the President/CEO, the EVP & COO and all company
executive officers, recommendations to include a new hire, change a participant’s incentive
level or add a promoted associate into the Program at any time during the Program year must
be approved by the President/CEO. This action is mandatory before informing any associate
of their participation in the Program. Partial year participant awards, if any, will be
prorated based upon full months of the associate’s inclusion into the Program and their
achievement of Program year objectives.
	 
	 	5.	 	Associates hired after the second fiscal quarter (March 31, 2010) will not normally be
eligible for participation until the following Program year. The President/CEO must approve
any exceptions to the above in advance. Approval of such exception is mandatory
before informing any associate of their participation in the Program.

Discretionary Awards

The President/CEO will have the authority to award “discretionary bonuses” at year-end. These
awards will be granted to individuals based upon the associate’s contribution toward either the
achievement of

 

 

the Company’s strategic objectives or the FY2010 financial plan. Individual awards will not exceed
$5,000; aggregate of awards will not exceed $50,000 annually.

Effective Date of the Program:

This Program shall be in effect for the fiscal year 2010.
