Chairman’s Outperformance Plan
Goal
To provide the Chairman with an opportunity to receive a substantial reward for delivering exceptional shareholder returns.
Overview
The Chairman’s outperformance plan will use a 15% threshold level of performance for the 4 year period. Stock will only be earned if actual performance exceeds the 15% threshold in total shareholder return.
Terms
1. | Plan commencement July 14, 2006 |

The amount of the award is equal to 10% of the increase in value of the company over a 15% compound return for the shareholders (TSR). The value of the Company is based on 53.9 million shares of common stock outstanding. |
