Each executive officer will be entitled to receive a bonus (equal to the product of (1) the amount of the executive’s target maximum bonus and (2) the percentage of his bonus allocated to the Company goal component) if the Company achieves a specified minimum amount of net income.

Individual Performance Goal
Individual performance goals are established for each executive officer. For 2006, the individual performance goals established by the Compensation Committee include areas such as performance of individual functional responsibilities, product line and business unit results, completion of major projects and initiatives, and demonstrated management and leadership. Following the completion of the 2006 fiscal year, the Compensation Committee will determine each applicable executive officer’s bonus (equal to up to the product of (1) the amount the executive’s target maximum bonus and (2) the percentage of his bonus allocated to the individual goal component) relating to the individual goal component based upon achievement of the applicable individual goals.
