Discretionary Bonuses
All of the Named Executive Officers with the exception of Mr. Lane are eligible for annual cash bonuses which are awarded on an entirely discretionary basis, following a review by the Companys Compensation Committee of the performance of the Company and the executives for the relevant year. The Compensation Committees decisions are based upon broad performance objectives. The bonus program focuses on the achievement of short-term objectives. Bonus decisions are made based on a review of net income, budget objectives, and other individual-specific performance objectives. The performance objectives considered by the Committee relate to each executive officer improving the contribution of his or her functional area of responsibility to further enhance the earnings of the Company.
Discretionary bonuses are not made subject to any plan or program, written or unwritten. No specific performance criteria are established in advance, and no specific ranges for bonuses are established in advance. Bonuses for a particular fiscal year are generally determined during the first quarter of the following fiscal year and paid at the discretion of the Compensation Committee.
Bonuses were paid in the first quarter of 2008 for the year ended December 31, 2007. As previously reported, discretionary bonuses for 2007 were paid to each of the Named Executives (other than Mr. Lane) in the first quarter of 2008 as follows:
