be one hundred percent (100%) of your quarterly base salary, with the actual quarterly incentive cash award determined to be below, at, or above based upon a combination of (a) the Company&#146;s achievement level against sales and other financial
objectives and (b) an individual modifier component based upon your individual performance as determined by the Compensation Committee in consultation with the CEO. Regardless, your maximum quarterly incentive cash award shall not exceed two hundred

determined under the VPP until such time as the CIP is in effect and is designed to be fully funded if the Company meets the CIP performance targets, at which point your incentive cash awards will be determined by the CIP. Regardless, you are only
eligible for payments under either the VPP or CIP for any given period, and not both, and the maximum possible payout to you under the VPP and the CIP, as applicable, for each six-month period is one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the target
