2007 Executive Variable Incentive Plan. Our executive officers participate in our 2007 Executive Variable Incentive 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 plan provides for payment of a bonus based on achievement of net sales, net income and free cash flow objectives in the 2007 operating plan approved by the Board. The total bonus is weighted 50 percent for achieving the net sales objective, 30 percent for achieving the net income objective and 20 percent for achieving the free cash flow objective. The plan provides for payment beginning at 25 percent of target bonus for achieving 90 percent of the net sales and net income objectives, and bonuses for achieving these objectives are paid quarterly. The plan provides for payment beginning at 50 percent of target bonus for achieving 70 percent of the free cash flow objective, and the bonus for achieving this objective is paid annually. The bonus payable under the plan increases with percentage achievement relative to the objectives, and 100 percent of the target bonus is paid at 100 percent achievement of the plan objectives. The maximum bonus payable under the plan is 200 percent of the target bonus at 115 percent achievement of the net sales and net income plan objectives, and 130 percent of the free cash flow objective. The target bonus for 2007 for the company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer and each other named executive officer is set forth in the table below.
