Executive Bonuses
 
Pursuant to the 2001 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, certain executive officers may earn a cash bonus if this Company meets the performance criteria set by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) at the beginning of the year. For each of fiscal 2006 and 2007, the aggregate amount of the executive bonus pool depends upon the amount by which (i) the Company’s revenue growth exceeds that of the Company’s industry and (ii) the Company’s net income exceeds that of the prior year. After the end of the fiscal year, the Committee allocates the bonus pool among the executive officers in proportion to the contribution made by each officer to the achievement of the performance criteria.
