Executive Compensation

At a meeting of the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors held on January 8, 2010, increases to the base salary of our Executive Officers were approved. The chart below summarizes the increases.

Name	Position	Salary (1)
Lloyd H. Malchow	Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board	$375,264
John T. Buhler	President and Chief Operating Officer	$296,815
Kevin J. Cousins	Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer	$249,712
Paul Lubock	Senior Vice President and Chief Technical Officer	$261,202
William F. Gearhart	Vice President, Global Marketing and Corporate Development	$252,847

(1) All salary amounts are retroactive to January 1, 2010 and are based on percentage increases over 2009 base salaries, ranging from 2.35% to 10%.

The primary goal of our compensation program is to help us attract and retain talented, qualified employees. Executive compensation is comprised of (i) a cash-based salary component, which we have just adjusted pursuant to our normal annual review by our Compensation Committee based on the individual performance of the executive, (ii) annual cash incentive bonus payments upon achievement of corporate objectives, which we plan to set for 2010 at the next meeting of the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors and (iii) an equity component providing long-term compensation based on company performance. The long-term component of executive compensation is designed to align management’s incentives with the generation of long-term stockholder value. Additionally, our compensation programs are designed to be competitive with other companies in our industry.
