Item 5.02  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
 
(e)  On February 23, 2011, the Compensation Committee adopted the Company’s 2011 Management Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”), which provides for the payment of cash bonuses to the Company’s named executive officers, as well as other management personnel.  Payments are based 70% on corporate performance and 30% on individual performance.  The 2011 Plan establishes booked sales and EBITDAS (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock compensation) as the corporate performance goals for 2011.  A copy of the 2011 Plan is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.  The table below shows the cash amounts that the named executive officers are eligible to earn under the 2011 Plan on two sets of assumptions:  (1) if 100% of the targets are met; and (2) on maximum overachievement of all targets.  The executive officers included in the chart are the named executive officers for 2009, and the calculation assumes salaries to be effective at April 1, 2011.
