On
February 18, 2009, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the
“Board”) of On Assignment, Inc. (the “Company”) unanimously approved the
2009 Executive Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) for the following
participants: James L. Brill, the Company’s Senior Vice President and
Chief Financial Officer; Mark S. Brouse, President of VISTA Staffing
Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“VISTA”); Michael
McGowan, President of Oxford Global Resources, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Company (“Oxford”); and Emmett McGrath, President of the Life Sciences
and Allied Healthcare divisions of the Company. Amounts to be paid
pursuant to the Plan shall be paid to participants, in cash, on or prior to
March 15, 2010, contingent on the attainment of certain goals specified
in the Plan and the satisfaction of certain conditions in the Plan.
Under the
Plan, each participant has the following bonus opportunities: (1) an initial
bonus opportunity of up to fifty percent (50%) of the participant’s annual base
salary in effect at the time the bonus is paid, contingent on the Company
achieving an established Adjusted EBITDA target during 2009 and, in the case of
the divisional Presidents, additionally contingent on the division over which
the participant has oversight responsibility achieving a division-specific
Adjusted EBITDA target during 2009; and (2) a second bonus opportunity of up to
fifty percent (50%) of the participant’s annual base salary in effect at the
time the bonus is paid, contingent on the Company and, in the case of divisional
Presidents, additionally contingent on the division over which the participant
has oversight responsibility, achieving a set of established cash generation,
gross margin, branch contribution margin and Adjusted EBITDA margin targets
during 2009, as well as the Company successfully replacing or amending its
current credit facility. Attainment of the initial and second bonus
opportunities are assessed independently and participants can earn all or a
portion of one bonus opportunity even if the other bonus opportunity targets are
not attained. The bonus targets for each participant are described in
greater detail below.
For
purposes of the Plan, the following definitions shall apply:
“Adjusted
EBITDA” means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization,
but excluding gains, losses or expenses associated with all Unusual Items
(defined below).
“Cash
generation” is measured as operating cash flow, less capital expenditures, but
excluding gains, losses or expenses associated with all Unusual
Items.
“Branch
contribution” is calculated, divisionally, by branch gross profit less branch
operating expense, but excluding gains, losses or expenses associated with all
Unusual Items.
“Unusual
Items” shall mean: (i) restructurings, discontinued operations, extraordinary
items or events, and other unusual or non-recurring charges as described in
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 and/or management’s discussion
and analysis of financial condition and results of operations appearing or
incorporated by reference in the Company’s Form 10-K for the applicable
year; (ii) a force majeure or other event either not directly related to the
operations of the Company or not within the reasonable control of the Company’s
management; (iii) litigation (including attorneys’ fees and other litigation
expenses), judgments, settlements; (iv) changes in tax laws or accounting
standards required by generally accepted accounting principles or changes in
other such laws or provisions affecting reported results; (v) expenses resulting
from severance arrangements with terminated employees; (vi) equity-based
compensation expenses; (vii) one-time gains or losses from the disposal or sale
of assets; and (viii) impairments of goodwill or other intangible
assets.
