Eligibility and Participation

1. Eligible employees shall include the Chief Executive Officer and his direct reports. “Direct reports” means the: (a) President and Chief Operating Officer; (b) Vice President, Finance and Administration and Chief Financial Officer, (c) Vice Presidents and General Managers, (d) the Controller and Chief Accounting Officer and (e) such other employees of the Company selected by the Chief Executive Officer to participate in this Plan, subject to the approval by the Compensation Committee of such participation.

3. Newly hired or promoted employees are eligible for participation in the Plan upon employment unless otherwise determined by the Chief Executive Officer for direct reports and by the Compensation Committee in the case of the Chief Executive Officer.

4. Participants who voluntarily terminate employment or whose employment is involuntarily terminated, in each case, for any reason before the end of the fiscal year shall receive no bonus except as approved by the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion.

Establishment and Level of Goals

1. Financial goals shall be approved by the Board of Directors.

2. The Chairman of the Compensation Committee shall approve individual goals for the Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Executive Officer shall approve individual goals for direct reports. The Chairman of the Compensation Committee or Chief Executive Officer, as applicable, shall determine the number and weighting of goals.

Payment Calculation

At the end of each fiscal year, the Compensation Committee shall determine the extent to which the applicable financial goals and individual goals have been satisfied and the corresponding goal payout factors. The Compensation Committee shall then determine each Participant’s

preliminary payout value, which shall be the Participant’s Target Participation Level multiplied by the product of each performance goal’s weighting times its payout factor. The Compensation Committee may then adjust each Participant’s preliminary payout value, either upwards or downwards, in the Compensation Committee’s sole discretion, to determine each Participant’s final payout value.

The final payout values, as determined by the Compensation Committee, will be paid to Participant’s as soon as practicable after the end of the fiscal year, but in no event later than 75 days immediately following the end of the fiscal year.

Other Considerations

1. Participants who change their position during the fiscal year shall receive bonus on a pro rated basis.

3. Extraordinary events that either positively or negatively affect financial performance may be included or excluded in financial calculations at the discretion of the Compensation Committee.

4. Nothing herein shall be construed to limit or affect the normal and usual powers of management, including right to terminate any individual at any time.

5. The Compensation Committee shall have final and conclusive authority on the existence and administration of this plan.

6. In the event of death, a Participant’s designated beneficiary will be entitled to the Participant’s plan benefits. If the Participant has not designated a beneficiary, the Participant’s beneficiary or beneficiaries will be determined in accordance with the Participant’s will. If there is no will, the beneficiary or beneficiaries shall be determined by the laws of descent and distribution in the state in which the Participant was a resident at the time of death. In the event of death prior to the end of a fiscal year, the Participant will be entitled to a receive plan benefits on a pro rated basis, which shall be paid to a Participant’s designated beneficiary.
