2006 Executive Variable Incentive Plan. Executive officers are also eligible to receive incentive compensation under the 2006 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 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. The target bonus for 2006 for each named executive officer is set forth in the table below.
