The above plans are included as Exhibits 99.1, 99.2, 99.3 and 99.4 to this report. The discussions set forth below are qualified in their entirety by reference to such exhibits.

The following maximum amounts of RSAs may be granted under this Objective LTIP based upon the achievement of the performance goals relating to earnings per share: CEO = 15,000 shares; CFO = 10,000 shares; COO = 10,000 shares. For a complete description of the Objective LTIP refer to Exhibit 99.1, which plan is incorporated herein by reference.
Discretionary Long-Term Incentive Plan (“Discretionary LTIP”). The Committee may, in its judgment and at its sole discretion, grant RSAs under the 2003 Plan, based on its evaluation of an Executive’s performance and the collective corporate performance for 2011. The following shall be the maximum amount of shares that may be awarded under this program to each specified participant: CEO = up to 15,000 shares; CFO = up to 10,000 shares; COO = up to 10,000 shares.
