Senior Executive Short-Term Incentive Plan for Fiscal Year 2021
On March 27, 2020, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors established performance criteria and goals for, and target
amounts payable under, our Senior Executive Short-Term Incentive Plan, as amended by its determinations for fiscal year 2021 (the STIP), for Gregory Woods, our President and Chief Executive Officer, David Smith, our Vice
President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, and Michael Natalizia, our Chief Technology Officer and Vice President of Strategic Technical Alliances. We refer to Messrs. Woods, Smith and Natalizia collectively as the participants.
The following table sets forth, for each of the participants, the percentage of base salary (the Target Award Percentage)
that will constitute the participants aggregate target award under the STIP for fiscal year 2021.

The amounts payable under the STIP for fiscal year 2021 to each of the participants are based on the
achievement of corporate performance goals as follows:
|
|
|
50% is tied to our fiscal year 2021 revenue; and
|
|
|
|
50% is tied to our fiscal year 2021 operating income.
|
Performance with respect to each specific performance goal will be calculated independently to determine the amount of the award for each
corporate performance goal (each, an Award Component). The total award earned by a participant for fiscal year 2021 will be equal to the sum of the separate Award Components determined for each performance goal. The Award
Components will be calculated as follows:
|
|
|
No bonuses will be paid with respect to the fiscal year 2021 revenue performance goal unless our fiscal year 2021
revenue exceeds a threshold established by the Compensation Committee. If our fiscal year 2021 revenue equals or exceeds the revenue target established by the Compensation Committee, 100% of the target bonus allocated to that Corporate Award
Component will be paid. If our fiscal year 2021 revenue falls between the threshold and the target, the bonus amount will be determined through linear interpolation.

No bonuses will be paid with respect to the fiscal year 2021 operating income performance goal unless our fiscal
year 2021 operating income exceeds a threshold established by the Compensation Committee. If our fiscal year 2021 operating income equals the operating income target established by the Compensation Committee, 100% of the target bonus allocated to
that Award Component will be paid. If our fiscal year 2021 operating income falls between the threshold and the target, the bonus amount will be determined through linear interpolation. An incremental bonus of up to 100% of each participants
total STIP target bonus will be paid if our fiscal year 2021 operating income falls between the operating income target and an amount equal to 132.5% of the operating income target. If our fiscal year 2021 operating income falls between the target
and 132.5% of the target, the bonus amount will be determined through linear interpolation. No further bonus will be earned on account of fiscal year 2021 operating income that exceeds 132.5% of the operating income target.
|
All payments and awards will be subject to the other provisions and limitations of the STIP, including:
|
|
|
Aggregate annual awards under the STIP may not exceed 15% of our consolidated operating income for the applicable
fiscal year, determined without deduction for the payment of awards under the STIP.
|
|
|
|
Aggregate awards earned must be fully accounted for when determining whether a performance goal based upon
operating income has been achieved.
