·Mr. Spiegel will be eligible for an annual incentive award equal to 50% of his then-current base salary for achievement of target performance, with an actual payout that may be less than or greater than 50% of his base salary for actual performance that is less than or greater than target, respectively.  Mr. Spiegel has been guaranteed an award payout equal to 50% of his base salary for the Company’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2013, prorated for the portion of the fiscal year from December 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013.

·Mr. Spiegel will be entitled to participate in the Company’s long-term equity incentive program.  For the Company’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2013, he will receive equity awards with a targeted value of $233,000, which consists of 20% restricted stock units, 40% performance share awards and 40% stock appreciation rights, consistent with the Company’s equity compensation program for senior executives.
