Participation in the Plan is limited to individuals in positions which have significant responsibility for and impact on the Company’s corporate performance.

B.

Only the Chief Executive Officer and those employees in grades H through I are eligible to be considered for participation in the Plan.

C.

Participation in the Plan does not guarantee or entitle any employee to participate in any bonus plan enacted in the future. Participation in the Plan at any target bonus level does not guarantee or entitle any employee to be eligible to participate at any similar target bonus level in any bonus plan which may be enacted in the future.

5.

Enrollment in the Plan

A.

Initial Enrollment

At the beginning of the Plan year, each Participant must be enrolled in the Plan subject to the approvals and eligibility criteria set forth in Sections 4 and 6. The enrollment process is as follows:

i.

Plan Participants will participate in the Plan at the standard target percent per grade level as listed in Section 6.

ii.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer will review the participant list and projected bonus costs of enrolled employees with the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee provides final approval on the aggregate potential cost of the Plan.

B.

Mid-year Enrollment

When hiring or promoting employees during the Plan year who may be eligible for participation in the Plan, the following procedures must be followed:

i.

Prior to the commencement of the recruiting or promotion process, the hiring manager consults with Human Resources to determine the position’s eligibility for participation in the Plan and the recommended target bonus amount.

ii.

Offer letters indicating bonus Plan participation and target bonus award opportunities to new hires and/or promoted employees must be reviewed by the CEO or, in the case of a Named Executive Officer, by the Compensation Committee. Target bonus recommendations must be approved before communication to a prospective Participant. Generally, employees hired or promoted during the fourth quarter 2011 are not eligible to participate in the 2011 Plan.

6.

Determination of Target Payout Levels

A.

Incentive awards will be calculated as a percentage of the Participant’s annual base salary received during the Plan year, provided that annual base salary increases which are made during the first quarter of the Plan year will be treated for purposes of calculating a Participant’s bonus as if they had been made at the beginning of the Plan year. While award amounts will vary based on the range of award opportunity and an assessment of individual performance results, the target award opportunities for each grade level are shown below:

Grade		Target % of Salary
CEO			60	%
I			45	%
H			35	%

i.

Actual participation is subject to approval by the CEO and by the Compensation Committee. Actual participation is based on an assessment of the individual’s position impact on the organization.

ii.

Standard target percents per grade level should be followed for all Plan Participants.

B.

If a Participant’s Plan target award opportunity (Target % of Salary as set forth above) changes due to promotion into a grade level with a higher target bonus, the Participant’s bonus will be calculated based on his or her annual salary during the Plan year and a pro-rated bonus award. The pro-rated bonus award will reflect the portion of the Plan year spent in each grade level (e.g., seven months at 35% and five months at 45%). In evaluating the performance of Participants who change positions during the Plan year, consideration will be given to the length of time and results in each position. Actual award decisions will be made by the CEO or, in the case of a Named Executive Officer, by the Compensation Committee. Generally, fourth quarter promotions will not result in an increase in a Participant’s target award opportunity.

C.

Examples of various award calculations are included with this Plan document as Attachment A.

D.

The CEO will review and approve award recommendations for all employees other than Named Executive Officers prior to payout. Final approval authority for all payments (except for award payments to the Named Executive Officers) rests with the CEO. Individual award payments for all Participants (except the Named Executive Officers) may be adjusted at any time and for any reason at the discretion of the CEO.

E.

The Compensation Committee will determine the award payments to the Named Executive Officers.

F.

Award payments will be calculated on an annual basis and paid in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll cycle. Payments will be made during the first quarter following the Plan year. The payment date may be changed at any time and for any reason at the discretion of the CEO, or in the case of a Named Executive Officer, with approval of the Compensation Committee, but may not be later than March 15 following the end of the Plan year for which the award is paid.

7.

Basis of Awards

A.

Measurable performance objectives for each Plan Participant will be established at the beginning of the Plan year (or at mid-year for mid-year hires or newly eligible employees). In 2011, consideration will be given to:

i.

Financial Performance Component: Company and Market financial performance vs. Plan performance objectives in accordance with Section 7B.

ii.

Individual Performance Component: Participant’s performance relative to individual goals established in accordance with Section 7C.

iii.

Individual and Financial Performance Components will be added to reach a Participant’s total bonus. The relative weighting will vary by grade in accordance with the following schedule:

		Financial				Individual
Grade		Performance				Performance
CEO			80	%			20	%
I			80	%			20	%
H			80	%			20	%

B.

At the beginning of the Plan year, the objectives for the Financial Performance Component are identified and approved by the Compensation Committee.

i.

Recommended award amounts may range from 0 — 200% of the Financial Performance Component of the Participant’s target award, based on performance.

ii.

Percentages between the threshold, intermediate, target, and maximum award will be interpolated.

iii.

In the event of an acquisition, revenue, operating income, expenses, fees, assets, liabilities and acquisition fees resulting from the acquisition will be excluded from award payout calculations, unless the Compensation Committee approves a modification to include any such items.

C.

The Individual Performance Component will be based on written objectives set annually for Participants by their supervisors and approved by the CEO or, in the case of a Named Executive Officer, by the Compensation Committee. Objectives will be based on the Participant’s position and may be financial, operational or strategic.

i.

Objectives under the Individual Performance Component may be linked to team-based goals, if appropriate

ii.

Examples of appropriate objectives under the Individual Performance Component include:

•

Safety

•

Customer Service

•

Market Share

•

On-time Delivery

•

Cost Reduction

•

Product Development

iii.

Recommended award amounts may range from 0% — 200% of the target amount under the Individual Performance Component. Recommended award amounts will be based on an assessment of the individual’s performance relative to objectives established under the Individual Performance Component, in accordance with the following guidelines:

		Payout
Individual		(as % of Target Individual
Performance		Performance Component)
Does not meet objectives			0	%
Meets some objectives			50	%
Meets most objectives			75	%
Meets all objectives			100	%
Exceeds objectives			150	%
Significantly exceeds objectives			200	%

iv.

The “Payout (as % of Target Individual Performance Component)” represents the payout relative to target award for the Individual Performance Component of the Plan.

8.

Changes in Employment Status

A.

Under most circumstances, Participants who cease to be employees of the Company during the Plan year or after the Plan year but prior to the date of actual payment will receive no award. Only active employees on the date that the bonus is paid will be eligible to receive an award. Any exceptions will require the approval of the CEO, or in the case of a Named Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee.

B.

In the event that a Participant transfers out of an eligible position into an ineligible position within the Company, the employee may be eligible for a prorated bonus award based upon the approval of the CEO, or in the case of a Named Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee.

C.

In all cases awards will be calculated and paid according to the provisions in Sections 6 and 7 of this Plan document.

9.

Administration

A.

General authority for Plan administration and responsibility for ongoing Plan administration will rest with the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee has sole authority for decisions regarding interpretation of the terms of this Plan.

B.

This plan is being adopted pursuant to and shall be subject to the terms of the Management Incentive Umbrella Plan as approved by stockholders on January 26, 2009.

C.

The Company reserves the right to amend or change the Plan in whole or in part at any time during the Plan year. Amendments to the Plan require the approval of the Compensation Committee.

D.

Participation in the Plan does not constitute a contract of employment nor a contractual agreement of payment. It shall not affect the right of the Company to discharge, transfer, or change the position of a Participant. The Plan shall not be construed to limit or prevent the Company from adopting or changing, from time to time, any rules, standards or procedures affecting the Participant’s employment with the Company or any Company affiliate, including those which affect bonus payouts.

E.

If any provision of this Plan is found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, that provision shall be severed from the Plan. If such a provision is severed, this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the severed provision had never been part of it and the remaining provisions of this Plan shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the severed provisions or by its severance from this Plan. In place of any severed provision there shall be added automatically as part of this Plan a provision as similar in terms to the severed provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.

F.

This is not an ERISA plan. This is a bonus program.
