The Board, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, reviewed the performance of the Company against the targets set by the Board in the beginning of fiscal year 2009. Following this review, the Board approved the grant of stock options under the Company's Long Term Incentive Compensation Plan to each of the named executive officers as follows:

Upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board approved certain components of the 2010 Compensation Program, including base salary, equity awards and deferred compensation awards. The Board approved the following 2010 Compensation Program components:
