corporate performance metrics during the Companys 2017 fiscal

based compensation and other variable compensation).Awards under
the EIP may also be a specified fixed dollar amount.

Awards shall be comprised of cash and equity.The CEO and CFO
awards shall be payable 50% in cash and 50% in equity, until such
time as stock ownership guidelines are met, at which time the

Executives for achievement of the Companys strategic objectives
that lead to maximization of shareholder value by continual
growth of earnings per share (EPS).EPS targets shall be
determined annually by the Board.In the event targeted EPS growth
has been achieved, an equity award equal to one times the current
year equity portion of the EIP, if awarded, or as otherwise
determined by the Board shall be awarded in the form of
stock-based compensation in accordance with the Companys 2010
Equity Incentive Plan.
