On August 31, 2011, the Compensation Committee reviewed and approved the performance of the Companys executive officers, including its named executive officers who participate in the ICP, against pre-determined goals for the six months ending June 30, 2011 under the Company’s Incentive Compensation Plan (“ICP”). Under the ICP, target bonuses are expressed as a percentage of the executive’s base salary. Final payouts on the bonus amount were determined by multiplying (x) the semi-annual bonus target (50% of the annual bonus target amount each half) by (y) the percentage achievement of pre-determined group goals plus the percentage achievement of pre-determined individual goals. For the first half of 2011, all ICP payments were made in the form of restricted stock units on the following formula: the number of restriced stock units equal to (i) first half bonus achievement divided by (ii) $2.70.
 
A description of the performance criteria, the potential fiscal year awards and the satisfaction of performance criteria and associated awards for the first half of the fiscal year for the Company’s named executive officers who participate in the ICP is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
