On February 9, 2010, the Company's Compensation Committee (with the
concurrence of the other independent members of the Board of Directors, in

A. 2010 ANNUAL CASH INCENTIVE AWARDS. The annual cash incentive awards are
based upon performance metrics approved by the Compensation Committee. For
each award the Compensation Committee has set a minimum achievement level
below which no payouts are received, a target achievement level at which each
executive will earn a target payout (equal to a specified percentage of the
executive's base salary earned during the year), and a maximum achievement
level at or above which each executive will earn a payout equal to twice his
target amount. The specified percentages of base salary, as well as the
target amounts for the 2010 awards (based on each executive's annual base
salary as in effect as of the date of this Report on Form 8-K), are set forth
in the table below.
