* Expressed as a percentage of base salary.
The Committee adopted an annual incentive plan pursuant to which certain employees, including our named executive officers, may receive annual cash awards. The Committee approves both the incentive award target payout and the actual award for our executives.  The annual incentive plan pool is created once the Company attains a pre-established financial goal. Once the annual incentive pool is funded, the executives may receive annual incentive award payments based on the Company's attainment of pre-established financial goals and each executive's performance relative to pre-established individual goals.  The amount of such annual award cannot exceed 200% of the target award established for each individual by the Committee and, with respect to the Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”), the Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”) and the three most highly compensated executive officers other than the CEO and CFO, the awards are also subject to the maximum amount payable under the annual pool created for such individuals by the Senior Executive Performance Plan. The Committee may exercise its discretionary authority to make downward adjustments to any payouts earned. Discretionary awards up to 30% of target may also be made by the CEO, with the approval of the Committee, in the event that the financial goals are not met.
The Committee approved amendments to the Change in Control Severance Plan that provided for (i) the increase of the chief executive officer's severance multiple from 2.0 to 3.0, (ii) the change of the pro rata payout for the bonus to be based on target performance instead of actual performance, (iii) the payment of any legal fees incurred by the plan participant in connection with enforcing his or her rights under the plan, and (iv) the allocation of a portion of the cash severance as consideration for the non-competition provision.
The Committee approved the form of equity award agreements listed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6 pursuant to which executive officers of the Company may receive equity awards under the 2013 Plan.
