Annual Incentive Compensation Plan for Management
On March 11, 2010, the Compensation Committee (the
Committee) of the Board of Directors of Asset Acceptance Capital Corp. (the Company) approved the Asset Acceptance Capital Corp. 2010 Annual Incentive Compensation Plan for Management (the Annual Incentive Plan).
The Annual Incentive Plan is intended to provide incentives to eligible employees (the Participants) to advance the interests of the Company and to attract and retain employees.
The Annual Incentive Plan provides for the payment of cash bonuses to Participants, which includes the Companys executive officers and most of the
other management employees of the Company.
The Annual Incentive Plan will establish for each Participant a bonus target equal to a specified
percentage of base salary (the Target Bonus). The Target Bonus will be set by the Compensation Committee at a level consistent with each Participants responsibilities. The Annual Incentive Plan is comprised of two parts:
(a) Financial Objectives; and (b) Personal Objectives. Bonus amounts will be computed separately for achievement of Financial Objectives and Personal Objectives, as set forth below:
|
|
|
Financial Objectives
: The financial performance of the Company will be measured by EBITDA (as defined in the Annual Incentive Plan), with
minimum, target and maximum goals (as those goals are defined in the Annual Incentive Plan). The participant will receive 25%, 50% and 100% of the Target Bonus if the Companys financial performance achieves the minimum, target and maximum
goal, respectively. If the Company achieves EBITDA greater than its minimum goal but less than its maximum goal, the percentage of each Participants Target Bonus will be pro-rated consistent with a formula set forth in the Annual Incentive
Plan. If the actual EBITDA is less than the minimum goal, no bonus is earned.
|
|
|
|
Personal Performance Objectives
: Each Participant may earn up to a maximum of 50% of his or her Target Bonus based on the achievement of
specified personal objectives jointly developed by the Participant and management of the Company. The Committee approves the personal objectives of the Companys executive officers. No bonus is earned based on Personal Performance Objectives if
EBITDA achieved by the Company does not at least equal the minimum EBITDA goal under the Financial Objectives. The Committee shall have the discretion as to the executive officers of the Company, and the President and Chief Executive Officer shall
have discretion as to all other Participants, to adjust the portion of the bonus based on achievement of Personal Performance Objectives by each participant upward or downward by a maximum of 20% based on exigent circumstances that make the
achievement of any goal easier or more difficult to achieve than anticipated at the time the goal was established.

The Board of Directors may seek reimbursement of excess incentive cash compensation paid under the Annual
Incentive Plan to an executive officer, on terms deemed appropriate by the Board, if the Board or the Audit Committee determines that the Companys financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 are the subject of a material
restatement for the relevant performance period. Excess incentive cash compensation means the positive difference, if any, between the amount of bonus paid and the amount of bonus that would have been paid had the bonus been calculated based on the
Companys financial statements as restated.
The Target Bonus, expressed as a percentage of annual base compensation paid in 2010, ranges
from 35% to 80% for the executive officers of the Company.
None of the minimum, target or maximum goals related to the Financial Objectives,
nor the specific Personal Performance Objectives for each of the named executive officers, has been included in this description in order to maintain the confidentiality of the Companys confidential commercial or business information.
All cash bonuses under the Annual Incentive Plan are earned upon the Board of Directors approval of the 2010 audited financial
statements and computation of EBITDA resulting from such approved financial statements. If a Participants employment is terminated for any reason prior to the approval of the 2010 audited financial statements, the cash bonus for that
Participant is forfeited. Any deviations from the Annual Incentive Plan must be approved by the Compensation Committee.
