Cash bonuses awarded to the principal executive officer, principal financial officer and other named executive officers of the Company that will appear in our 2011 Proxy Statement in connection with our Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on November 16, 2011 (collectively, the “NEOs”), along with base salary adjustments and equity awards, which were made as part of the Company's annual focal equity award to certain employees on the same date, are set forth in the table below:

(1)
Effective August 28, 2011.
(2)
The restricted stock units set forth in this column will vest over four (4) consecutive quarters starting in calendar year 2013, so long as the NEO remains employed by the Company on each such applicable vesting date.
(3)
Each stock option has an exercise price of $22.28 per share, which is the closing price of the Company's common stock as reported on The NASDAQ Global Market on September 6, 2011, the date of grant. The stock options set forth in this column will vest over four (4) consecutive quarters starting in calendar year 2015, so long as the NEO remains employed by the Company on each such applicable vesting date.

Under the new cash incentive compensation plan for executive officers applicable to fiscal year 2012 performance, the aggregate cash bonus pool available for distribution to all executive officers of the Company, including the NEOs, will range from 0.80% to 1.20% of the Company's operating income as determined under U.S. General Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), excluding the effect of special expense items. The metric that determines the percentage of the Company's operating income available for distribution to all officers is year-over-year stock price performance of the Company relative to a peer group consisting of five (5) other companies measured during the April-June time period. The target aggregate cash bonus pool is an amount equal to 1.0% of the Company's operating income as determined under GAAP, excluding the effect of special expense items. In the event operating income, excluding the effect of special expense items, for fiscal 2012 is not at least 50% of target operating income for the fiscal year, then there will not be any funds earned under the cash bonus pool for executive officers. Each officer's share of the aggregate bonus pool is determined based upon their Company impact points and personal performance.
