The Company has discretionary individual Management Incentive Plans ("MIPs") for our CEO, CFO, COO, and SEC President. Each 2012 MIP authorizes the Compensation Committee to recommend a cash incentive bonus to the executive for performance during the 2012 calendar year, if the Compensation Committee determined, in its sole discretion, that such bonus compensation is appropriate based on the considerations enumerated in each 2012 MIP relating to Company performance and the executive's individual performance during 2012. Each 2012 MIP is discretionary and payable only if recommended by the Company's Compensation Committee and approved by the Board of Directors at the Company's fiscal year end (the SEC's President's MIP contains a gross profit target component but this target was not met during fiscal year 2012). As payment under each of the 2012 MIPs is discretionary and do not contain quantitative targets (with the exception of the gross profit targt under the SEC President's) no performance incentive payments under the 2012 MIPs have been recommended by the Compensation Committee as of December 31, 2012.
