Corporate Goals:

The amount of annual incentive compensation earned shall be determined based on the degree of achievement of the corporate net income goals specified by the Compensation Committee.

Amounts earned on the basis of achievement of the net income goals are subject to reduction based on the degree of achievement of the performance indicators specified by the Compensation Committee and at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. The maximum annual award is 200% of the target award. Both the goals and the targeted awards shall be set forth in writing (which may be the minutes of a meeting) by the Compensation Committee.

2.  Corporate Performance (CP)

·    Financial indicators

·    General operating indicators

3.  Business Unit Performance (BUP)
