&#147;Company&#148;) adopted a bonus plan applicable to the Company&#146;s executive officers for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010. Under the terms of the plan, each participant is eligible to receive a discretionary cash bonus from the
Company in a dollar amount equal to a percentage of his or her annual base salary in effect as of the end of 2010. The award of a bonus is subject to the achievement of a single Company-wide EBITDA goal applicable to each executive officer and an
individual performance goal established for each executive officer. The target awards for the 2010 fiscal year, as a percentage of base salary, are 100% for the Company&#146;s Chief Executive Officer and 50% for all other participants. Each
participant is eligible to earn 70% of the target award if the Company achieves its performance goal and 30% of the target award if the participant achieves his or her own individual goal. All bonuses are expected to be determined and paid following
the end of the Company&#146;s 2010 fiscal year. In approving awards under the plan, the Committee may also use its discretion to increase or decrease the amounts that otherwise would be payable based upon Company and individual performance.
