FY07 Bonus Plan
 
Approximately seven hundred (700) of our officers and other senior management personnel participated in our FY07 Bonus Plan, including our Chairman of the Board, Darwin Deason, and certain other executive officers who were not named executive officers.
 
The performance goals were established for Mr. Deason based on the following components:
 
     
Consolidated ACS
  The Consolidated ACS performance goals are established to ensure that certain consolidated corporate criteria are met before bonuses are paid. The percentage of achievement against the performance goals is multiplied by the percentage of achievement of the ACS Corporate performance goals.
ACS Corporate
  The bonus of each of the executive officers is determined based on the achievement of performance goals in this group.
 
Equal weight was given to each of the Consolidated ACS and ACS Corporate components in determining the achievement of performance goals by Mr. Deason. The performance goals for the FY07 Bonus Plan were: revenue growth; growth in earnings before interest and taxes; growth in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; and a cash flow metric (determined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, plus non-operating (income) expense (excluding intercompany interest), plus equity compensation expense per SFAS 123(R), less such unusual items such as gain or loss on divestiture, plus/minus capital expenditures and additions to intangible assets (per the cash flow statement), plus/minus changes in accounts

receivables and unearned revenue (per the cash flow statement)). ACS Corporate includes all of the above performance goals in addition to growth in consolidated earnings per share.
 
No bonuses were payable if the Company’s growth in consolidated earnings before interest and taxes was less than 4% and no bonuses were payable to business unit participants in the FY07 Bonus Plan if that particular business unit’s growth in earnings before interest and taxes was less than 5%. Further, at least 50% of a particular performance goal must have been achieved before it was included in the calculation of the overall achievement of the performance goals, except for cash flow, which was included if a pre-determined minimum amount was met. The FY07 Bonus Plan performance goals were approved by the Compensation Committee.
 
We have not disclosed target levels with respect to specific quantitative or qualitative performance-related factors considered by the Compensation Committee because disclosure of the specific performance goals would give our competitors information that could be leveraged for competitive advantage which would result in competitive harm to the Company. In fiscal year 2007, the executive officers earned approximately 80% of the maximum bonus under the FY07 Bonus Plan. In fiscal year 2006, no bonuses were paid to the executives under the fiscal year 2006 performance based incentive compensation plan, which contained similar performance goals as the FY07 Bonus Plan (however, discretionary bonuses were paid to each of the Group President of the Commercial Solutions Group (Ms. Vezina) and the Group President of the Government Solutions Group (Mr. Burlin); to one of our other current executive officers, but who was not an executive officer at the time of payment; and, in accordance with his agreement with us, one of our executive officers was paid a commission for acquisitions and divestures during the fiscal year). In fiscal year 2005, executive officers earned approximately 53% of the maximum bonus under the fiscal year 2005 performance based incentive compensation plan.
 
Mr. Deason, the only named executive officer who participated in the FY07 Bonus Plan, was entitled to receive a bonus percentage of up to 250% of his base salary. The maximum bonus that any executive officer received for the fiscal year 2007 under the FY07 Bonus Plan was $1,835,468, which was the bonus paid to Mr. Deason. The Compensation Committee certified the achievement of the performance goals before the bonuses were paid.
