2008 Cash Incentive Plan

Effective September 4, 2008, we adopted our 2008 Cash Incentive Plan (the "CI Plan"), which governs the award and payment of annual performance incentives to certain of our employees, including our executive officers. Under the CI Plan, employees eligible to participate may receive awards from an annual bonus pool upon the satisfaction of certain individual and corporate performance goals, which performance goals shall be determined by our Compensation Committee at the beginning of each fiscal year. The CI Plan is designed to ensure that the annual performance incentives to be paid to our named executive officers are fully deductible by us for federal income tax purposes in accordance with
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under Section 162(m), any compensation paid pursuant to the CI Plan cannot be deducted by us for tax purposes unless and until the CI Plan has been approved by our stockholders.
The CI Plan was approved by the majority of our stockholders at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders on September 4, 2008.
