(the “Company”) approved the Fiscal Year 2006 Six and Twelve Month Bonus Plans For Executives and the Severance Plan for Full-Time Senior Executives. The Fiscal Year 2006 Six and Twelve Month Bonus Plans For Executives would provide for certain incentive compensation for the Company’s executives (excluding the Chief Executive Officer). Under the Fiscal Year 2006 Six and Twelve Month Bonus Plans For Executives, cash bonuses, if any, will be based on the Company’s achievement of specified corporate goals, as determined by the Compensation Committee and/or the Board of Directors. A summary of the Fiscal Year 2006 Six and Twelve Month Bonus Plans For Executives is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
