Fiscal 2011 Executive Officer Incentive Bonus Plan

     1. Purpose. The purpose of this Fiscal 2011 Executive Officer Incentive Bonus Plan of Netezza Corporation (the “Company”) is to enhance the Company’s ability to attract, retain and motivate executive officers of the Company and to tie a significant portion of the compensation of executive officers to the attainment of corporate success, thus aligning the incentives of the executive officers with the creation of value for the stockholders of the Company.

     2. Eligibility. All of the Company’s executive officers, within the meaning of Rule 3b-7 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Participants”), are eligible to receive bonus payments under this Plan. As of the date of adoption of this Plan, Jim Baum, Pat Scannell, Patricia Cotter, David Flaxman and Ray Tacoma are Participants in this Plan. If additional persons become executive officers of the Company during the fiscal year ending January 31, 2011 (“Fiscal 2011”), they may be added as Participants in this Plan, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. Except as is otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, in order to be eligible to receive a bonus payment under this Plan, the Participant must be employed by the Company as of the time the Company first publicly reports its financial results for the fiscal year or fiscal quarter, as applicable, based upon which the bonus payment is determined.

     3. Period Covered by Plan. This Plan covers Fiscal 2011. Bonus payments for Messrs. Baum and Scannell will be based on Revenue and Adjusted Operating Income (each as defined below) for Fiscal 2011. Bonus payments for Ms. Cotter and Mr. Flaxman will be based in part on the achievement of specified personal objectives relating to Company, departmental and personal performance in Fiscal 2011 and in part on Revenue and Adjusted Operating Income for Fiscal 2011. Bonus payments for Mr. Tacoma will be based on Revenue and Bookings (as defined below) in Fiscal 2011 on a quarterly and year-to-date basis.

     4. Administration. This Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee shall have authority to adopt, amend and repeal such administrative rules, guidelines and practices relating to this Plan as it deems advisable. The Compensation Committee shall have broad discretion to construe and interpret the terms of this Plan, to make adjustments or amendments to this Plan, and to make determinations as to whether the criteria for bonus payments have been satisfied. All decisions by the Compensation Committee shall be made in the Compensation Committee’s sole discretion and shall be final and binding on all Participants and all persons having or claiming any interest in this Plan. No member of the Compensation Committee shall be liable for any action or determination relating to or under this Plan.

          (a) Target Bonuses. Each Participant has a target bonus for Fiscal 2011 under this Plan (the “Target Bonus”), which is set forth below. In addition, each Participant’s Target Bonus is allocated between, and determined based upon, the following two criteria:

	•		Revenue — for purposes of this Plan, “Revenue” means the Company’s revenue as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and reported in a filing by the Company with the SEC; and
	•		Adjusted Operating Income — for purposes of this Plan, “Adjusted Operating Income” means the Company’s operating income, as determined in accordance with GAAP and reported in a filing by the Company with the SEC, plus the amount of operating expenses attributable to (i) outstanding equity awards computed in accordance with FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, (ii) amortization of acquired intangible assets and (iii) any other operating expenses excluded from the “Non-GAAP Operating Income” line item set forth in the Company’s earnings release relating to Fiscal 2011 filed with the SEC.

The portion of a Participant’s Target Bonus that is allocated to Revenue is referred to in this Plan as the “Revenue Target Bonus”; and the portion of a Participant’s Target Bonus that is allocated to Adjusted Operating Income is referred to in this Plan as the “Adjusted Operating Income Target Bonus”.

     The Target Bonus, and allocation of that Target Bonus between the Revenue Target Bonus and the Adjusted Operating Income Target Bonus, for each Participant is as follows:

		Target Bonus								Revenue Target				Adjusted Operating
Name		% of Base Salary				Dollars				Bonus				Income Target Bonus
Jim Baum			100	%		$	400,000			$	200,000			$	200,000
Pat Scannell			60	%		$	180,000			$	90,000			$	90,000

	•		if the Company attains more than 100% of its Adjusted Operating Income target for Fiscal 2011, the Company will pay each Participant an Adjusted Operating Income bonus equal to such percentage of the Participant’s Adjusted Operating Income Target Bonus as is equal to actual Adjusted Operating Income for Fiscal 2011 as a percentage of the Adjusted Operating Income target, subject to a maximum payment of 150% of the Participant’s Adjusted Operating Income Target Bonus.
