(the "Company") established the performance criteria and targets for the fiscal 2017 bonus payable in fiscal 2018 under the Company's 2016 Executive Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Executive Incentive Compensation Plan"). The performance criterion is operating income, calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("Operating Income"). Subjective factors based on an executive officer's individual performance can reduce an executive officer's bonus. Performance below the threshold level would result in no payout, performance at the threshold level of performance would result in a payout at 15% of the executive officer's target bonus amount and performance at the maximum level of performance would result in a payout at 200% of the executive officer's target bonus amount, with payout for performance between threshold and target and between target and maximum Operating Income interpolated.</div>
