Incentive Awards. In addition to Annual Base Salary, the Executive shall be awarded, for each fiscal year ending during the Employment Period, an annual cash incentive award (the “Annual Cash Incentive Award”) and a long-term incentive award (which may be designated as a performance unit award) (the “Long-Term Incentive Award” and together with the Annual Cash Incentive Award, the “Incentive Awards”) at least equal to the average annualized (for any fiscal year consisting of less than twelve full months or with respect to which the Executive has been employed by the Company for less than twelve full months) annual cash incentive award and long-term incentive award, respectively, paid or payable, including by reason of any deferral, to the Executive by the Company and its affiliated companies in respect of the three fiscal years immediately preceding the fiscal year in which the Effective Date occurs; provided, however, that for any year of such three-year period in which the actual incentive awards were less than the target level of such incentive awards, then the target levels of such incentive awards shall be used for purposes of the foregoing formula. Each such Annual Cash Incentive Award and Long-Term Incentive Award shall be paid no later than two and one-half months after the fiscal year for which the Annual Cash Incentive Award or the Long-Term Incentive Award, as the case may be, is awarded, unless the Executive shall elect to defer the receipt of such Annual Cash Incentive Award or Long-Term Incentive Award, which deferrals shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code.

Incentive Awards. Provided that the Executive is employed by the Company as of December 31, 2004, the Executive shall be entitled to a fixed bonus for the 2004 calendar year in the amount of $100,000, subject to the review and concurrence of the Compensation Committee after the end of the 2004 calendar year. Starting in 2005, the Executive shall be entitled to receive an annual cash incentive bonus for each calendar year during the Term of this Agreement consistent with a bonus policy adopted by the Board or the Compensation Committee for each calendar year (which bonus policy shall be adopted during the first 90 days of each calendar year) containing individual performance goals for participants and corporate performance goals set at Threshold, Target, Superior and Outperformance levels, and allocating each participant’s annual cash incentive bonus on a percentage basis between individual and corporate performance goals (the “Bonus Policy”). The Board or the Compensation Committee shall meet during the first 90 days of each calendar year to determine the relevant goals for the current calendar year and to reach determination regarding bonus entitlement for the prior calendar year. For each calendar year, the annual incentive bonus shall be determined under the Bonus Policy in effect for such calendar year with reference to the Executive’s attainment of his individual performance goals and the Company’s attainment of the overall corporate goals, as follows: total annual incentive bonus = individual performance bonus + corporate performance bonus where: individual performance bonus = individual performance level achieved (Threshold, Target, Superior or Outperformance percentage) × individual goals allocation percentage (20%) × Base Salary corporate performance bonus = corporate performance level achieved (Threshold, Target, Superior or Outperformance percentage) × corporate goals allocation percentage (80%) × Base Salary
