On December 20, 2005, the Compensation Committee awarded Mr. Grudnowski an annual bonus of $850,000 for fiscal 2005. The Compensation Committee based this bonus award on the Company’s strong financial performance, including net income, earnings per share ("EPS") and revenue components over fiscal 2004, and Mr. Grudnowski’s achievement of established strategic goals, including the expansion o f the organization’s executive leadership and the development of growth opportunities in new vertical markets.
