PROGRAM CRITERIA

 

The Board of Directors or its Compensation Committee will establish the
corporate goals and objectives for the year based on recommendations from the
Chief Executive Officer and President.  Upon approval, these corporate goals and
objectives will be communicated to all eligible program participants. 
Seventy-five percent (75%) of the participant's annual performance bonus will be
based on the attainment of these corporate goals and objectives.  Twenty-five
percent (25%) of the annual performance bonus will be based on individual
performance toward meeting these corporate goals and objectives.

 

Toward the close of the calendar year the Board of Directors will evaluate,
measure and determine the success of the Company’s management teams efforts
toward the attainment of the corporate goals and objectives.   Based on this
assessment, the Compensation Committee of the Board will set the percentage of
bonus that will be awarded for the corporate portion of the program.

 

The Chief Executive Officer and President will evaluate the contribution of each
eligible participant (other than themselves) towards the attainment of the
approved corporate goals and objectives for the calendar year.  (The Board of
Directors or the Compensation Committee will evaluate the contribution of the
Chief Executive Officer and President.) Recommendations will be provided to the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors for consideration in their
determination of the individual portion of the total bonus payment to be earned
by each participant based on their individual performance toward meeting the
corporate goals and objectives.

Participants will need to successfully achieve at least half (50%) of their
expected individual contributions toward corporate goals and objectives in order
to be eligible to receive any payment under this program.

 

BONUS PAYMENTS

 

Payments will be processed in the next practical payroll cycle following the
date of approval by the Board of Directors or its Compensation Committee.

 

Bonus payments will be based on the base pay rate of an eligible participant as
of December 1, 2001.  Payments will be made minus all applicable payroll
deductions.

 

Participants whose employment terminates for any reason prior to the bonus
payouts will not be eligible to receive a bonus payment

 

LEAVE OF ABSENCE

 

Employees on an approved leave of absence of longer than 30 days will be
