Executive Compensation Program

On February 16, 2013, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors established the Company's 2013 annual incentive bonus and short-term and long-term equity incentive performance goals for the executive officers of the Company.

Annual incentive bonuses will be paid based on achieving performance criteria that recognize the overall financial performance of the Company and the improvements made in financial results. The amount of incentive that an executive officer may receive is based upon the following two components: an individual target bonus (which is a percentage of the individual's salary), and the Company's performance based on Economic Value Added (EVA). EVA is defined as net operating profit after taxes less a cost of capital charge. For 2013, the EVA bonus targets for the Company's executive officers are as follows: Mr. Warzala (65%), Mr. Maida (40%) and Mr. Wyman (30%). If the threshold EVA is achieved or exceeded, an EVA bonus is earned. The actual amount of EVA bonus earned is equal to the percent that the actual EVA achieved is to the target EVA multiplied by the EVA bonus target.

The 2013 short-term equity incentive awards were issued in restricted stock that will vest, in whole or in part, upon the satisfaction of Company performance goals based on achieving a percent that EBITDA is to sales as compared to a Target EBITDA percent. Mr. Warzala was awarded 38,909 restricted shares and Mr. Maida was awarded 4,000 restricted shares, in each case subject to forfeiture if the performance goals are not satisfied. The Company also issued the following time based restricted stock awards to the Company's executive officers that will vest 1/3 on each of March 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016: Mr. Warzala 19,454 shares; Mr. Maida 2,000 shares and Mr. Wyman 5,000 shares. All awards of stock were made under and in accordance with the Company's 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended.
