Following the assessment of the company’s achievement of its fiscal year 2009 goals and individual performance during fiscal year 2009, the committee approved the following bonus awards to the named executive officers pursuant to the company’s annual employee bonus plan, which are expected to be paid in February 2010.

Upon further assessment of the individual performance by certain executive officers during fiscal year 2009 and taking note of increased levels of stock ownership guidelines for certain executive officers effective January 1, 2009, the committee approved a one-time award of three thousand (3,000) RSUs to Mr. McQuilkin, which will be granted on January 1, 2010 and will vest annually, in three equal installments, beginning on the grant date.
On January 1, 2007, the named executive officers received performance-based RSU awards pursuant to the January 1, 2007 through January 1, 2010 LTCP cycle.
