21.95%, or 100 basis points higher than the threshold level.
The bonus payable to each named executive officer if we reached the 2012 target performance
levels for each of the financial performance measures is equal to the applicable percentage of salary as
set forth in the chart below. For all named executive officers, such percentages are consistent with
those for the prior year. In addition, for all named executive officers, such percentages reflect a blend
of the approximate median of the payout percentages for the market comparator group (other than for
the CEO for whom the market value was not blended). Mr. Dreiling’s employment agreement with us
requires minimum threshold (50%) and minimum target (125%) bonus percentages, but in 2011 the
Committee determined his target bonus percentage should be 130% in order to more closely align
Mr. Dreiling’s bonus target and total cash compensation with the median of the market comparator
group.
Name Target Payout Percentage
Mr. Dreiling 130%
Mr. Tehle 65%
Mr. Vasos 65%
Ms. Lanigan 65%
Mr. Sparks 65%
Bonus payments for financial performance below or above the applicable target levels are
prorated on a graduated scale commensurate with financial performance levels in accordance with the
schedule below. For 2012, the ROIC graduated scale was modified to more closely align the ROIC
achievement levels with the EBITDA achievement levels.

For each 1% adjusted EBITDA increase in the percent of performance target level between
the threshold performance level and 110% of the target performance level, the corresponding payout
increases by 9% of the officer’s target payout amount (based upon the officer’s target payout
percentage). For each 1% adjusted EBITDA increase above 110% of the target performance level, the
corresponding payout increases by 10.865% of the officer’s target payout amount (based upon the
