Fiscal Year 2010 Bonuses: With respect to fiscal year 2010 bonuses for named executive officers under the Management Incentive Program, on December 22, 2009 the Committee established that the level of Adjusted EBITDA which would have yielded 100% of target bonus was $43.9 million and that the level of Adjusted EBITDA which would have yielded the maximum bonus payment (200% of target bonus) was $50.0 million. In November 2010, the Committee determined that the Companys Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal year 2010 was approximately $48.3 million (10.1% above the target level for Adjusted EBITDA and 24.7% above the Companys actual Adjusted EBITDA for the 2009 fiscal year of approximately $38.8 million). Based on the performance goals established by the Committee for fiscal year 2010, the Committee determined that the Companys Adjusted EBITDA for such fiscal year resulted in payment of 172.8% of target bonus under the Management Incentive Program. Pursuant to this determination the Committee determined that the following cash bonuses were payable to the following named executive officers of the Company under the Management Incentive Program: (a) Edward M. Krell, Chief Executive Officer & President: $1,123,200 (or 172.8% or Mr. Krells target bonus, which target bonus is equal to 100% of Mr. Krells fiscal year 2010 base salary of $650,000); (b) Judd P. Tirnauer, Senior Vice President & Chief Financial Officer: $286,416 (or 172.8% of Mr. Tirnauers target bonus, which target bonus is equal to 50% of Mr. Tirnauers fiscal year 2010 base salary of $331,500) and (c) Rebecca C. Matthias, former President & Chief Creative Officer: $757,429 (or 172.8% of Ms. Matthias target bonus, which target bonus was equal to 100% of the base salary of $438,327 actually paid to Ms. Matthias for fiscal year 2010). The Committee, with the advice of Mr. Krell, determined that Ms. Hendrickson would not be paid a bonus under the Management Incentive Program for fiscal year 2010, despite the achievement of the performance metric. However, the Committee did authorize the payment of a $216,884 bonus to Ms. Hendrickson in December 2010 in satisfaction of, and subject to the terms of, the special bonus opportunity granted to Ms. Hendrickson in November 2009 (see below description under Discretionary or Special Bonuses).

Fiscal Year 2011 Bonuses: With respect to fiscal year 2011 bonuses for named executive officers under the Management Incentive Program, on December 28, 2010 the Committee established that the level of Adjusted EBITDA which would yield 100% of target bonus is $59.3 million (a 22.7% increase from fiscal year 2010 Adjusted EBITDA) and that the level of Adjusted EBITDA which would yield the maximum bonus payment (200% of target bonus) is $66.0 million (a 36.5% increase from fiscal year 2010 Adjusted EBITDA).
