(e) Annual Bonus Plan
On November 1, 2007, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of AEP Industries Inc. (the "Company") approved the 2008 Management Incentive Plan (the "MIP"), which provides cash bonuses to eligible employees, including the Company's named executive officers. The bonus is subject to the achievement of an Adjusted EBITDA target, which may be adjusted under specified circumstances. At the discretion of the Compensation Committee, the Adjusted EBITDA target for each eligible employee will be based on either the Adjusted EBITDA of the Company or a specified business unit; if the latter, the Adjusted EBITDA target will be determined by the CEO or CFO of the Company and the eligible employee based upon the applicable portion of the Company Adjusted EBITDA target. Each eligible employee will receive a target bonus (set forth as a percentage of base salary), and the bonus actually paid is determined on a sliding scale according to the target bonus and, expressed as a percentage, the 2008 Adjusted EBITDA compared to the Adjusted EBITDA target. For example, an employee will receive no bonus if the 2008 Adjusted EBITDA is less than 80% of the Adjusted EBITDA target, while an employee receives a bonus of 200% of the target bonus if the 2008 Adjusted EBITDA is 120% or more of the Adjusted EBITDA target. All bonus awards are subject to the final approval by the CEO or CFO, with reductions (but not increases) of such bonuses in their sole discretion. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by the MIP, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is hereby incorporated by reference.
On November 1, 2007, the Board approved the target bonuses for the named executive officers. The approved target bonuses for the named executive officers are as follows, each of whom is subject to the Adjusted EBITDA target for the Company:

On November 1, 2007, the Board also approved an amendment to the 2007 Management Incentive Plan providing for the exclusion of changes in the Company's LIFO reserve during fiscal 2007 in the calculation of actual fiscal 2007 Adjusted EBITDA. The Company's management incentive plans in fiscal 2008 and subsequent fiscal years will provide for such exclusion as well. In furtherance of this exclusion, the Board approved the allocation of the balance of the LIFO reserve at October 31, 2006 to be included equally over the next four fiscal years in determining actual Adjusted EBITDA under the Company's management incentive plans beginning with fiscal 2007.
On November 1, 2007, the Board approved an amendment to the Company's bylaws allowing for the issuance of uncertified shares of the Company's common stock. The amendment is effective November 1, 2007. The amended bylaws in its entirety are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and are hereby incorporated by reference.
On November 1, 2007, the Board authorized a stock repurchase program under which the Company may purchase up to $5 million of its common stock. Repurchases may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means, from time to time, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock and the program may be suspended at any time at the Company's discretion.
