Each of the executive officers named below is an employee at will whose compensation and employment status may be changed at any time in the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors.
Base Salaries.

The current base salary for each of the named executive officers, other than Mr. Vrabely, after giving effect to the 10% reduction instituted in November 2011 as described above is as follows:
| | | | |
| | Base Salary | |
Name and Principal Position | | (After 10% reduction) | |
Philip W. Keipp — Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary | | $ | 225,000 | |
Gregory W. Gurley — Vice President, Product Management and Marketing | | $ | 202,500 | |
Base salaries are adjusted from time to time. Any such adjustments are approved by Board of Directors upon recommendation of the Management Organization and Compensation Committee.
Bonuses and Equity Awards.These executive officers are also eligible to participate in the Company’s annual incentive compensation plans and equity incentive compensation plans, as provided in the terms of such plans. Such plans, and any forms of awards thereunder providing for material terms, are included as exhibits to the Form 10-K or to later-filed periodic reports.
