On February 22, 2011, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee") of Covenant Transportation Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), approved performance-based bonus opportunities for the Company's senior management group (the "Program") under the Company's 2006 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended (the "Plan").  As set forth in the Plan, the Committee may choose from a range of defined performance measures.
 
Under the Program and consistent with the objectives of the Plan, certain employees, including the Company's named executive officers, may receive bonuses upon satisfaction of fiscal 2011 consolidated operating income and operating ratio targets (and, for certain of these employees, the satisfaction of the fiscal 2011 operating income and operating ratio targets established for the Company's subsidiaries (collectively, the "Performance Targets")), as applicable.  Each applicable Performance Target corresponds to a percentage bonus opportunity for the employee that is multiplied by the employee's base salary to determine the employee's bonus.  Pursuant to the Program, David Parker and Joey Hogan, as named executive officers, may receive between 37.5% and 75.0% of their respective base salary depending on the consolidated Performance Targets that are achieved, if any, (ii) Richard Cribbs, another named executive officer, may receive between 30.0% and 60.0% of his respective base salary based on the consolidated Performance Targets that are achieved, if any, and (iii) Tony Smith and James Brower, as the two remaining named executive officers, may receive between 7.5% and 15.0% of their respective base salary based on the Performance Targets achieved for the consolidated group, if any, and between 30.0% and 60.0% of their base salary based on Performance Targets achieved for the Company's subsidiaries, Southern Refrigerated Transport, Inc. and Star Transportation, Inc., respectively, if any.
