  PERFORMANCE FACTOR:

  	
   

  	
  The

  Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization Target. The
  relationship between levels of achievement and company performance results is
  contained in a schedule developed each year based on the business plan
  approved by the Board of Directors or Compensation Committee, if so
  designated. The schedule identifies the minimum acceptable performance, which
  will generate incentive funds and scales upward to a maximum level. There is
  also a maximum level of performance for results over which there would be no
  additional incentive earned.
