2006 Executive Variable Incentive Plan. At the February 9, 2006 meeting, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2006 Executive Variable Incentive Plan and target bonuses for executive officers under such plan. The Compensation Committee (and the Board of Directors with respect to executive officers) established a target bonus for each participant in the plan. The 2006 quarterly bonus payments will be calculated at the end of each fiscal quarter based upon each fiscal quarter’s year-over-year sales growth rate, each quarter’s year-over-year increase in sales dollars, a measure of operating income and a cost of capital on net assets. Each quarter, the actual quarterly results for four quarters (the current plus three past quarters) will be weighted and compared to the plan level to generate a percent of plan achievement. This percent is applied against the participant’s target bonus for the quarter, resulting in a quarterly bonus payment per individual. On June 15, 2006, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors approved an increase to Mr. Longhini’s target bonus under the Company 2006 Executive Variable Incentive Plan was set at the annual rate of $140,000 for the third and fourth quarters of 2006.
