Long-term equity incentive compensation constitutes the largest single component of compensation of our
Named Executive Officers’ overall compensation in fiscal 2011. For our Named Executive Officers, overall cash
compensation for fiscal 2011 was more heavily weighted towards short-term incentives than base pay. This mix
between fixed base salary and cash incentives is consistent with our pay-for-performance philosophy and is
comparable to that for similar positions reviewed in our peer group.

Program Summary Description
Benefits We offer a variety of benefits programs to all employees, including executive
officers. The benefits that our executive officers receive are the same as those of
other full-time employees in the same geography.
For example, in the United States, benefits include medical, vision, dental,
employee and dependent life insurance, employee and dependent accidental
death and dismemberment insurance, short-term disability, long-term disability,
and financial programs such as a 401(k) plan and flexible spending accounts.
We also reimburse employees for certain types of relocation expenses.
Nonqualified Deferred
Compensation
United States-based executive officers are eligible to participate in our
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan. The plan is designed to allow
eligible employees to make pretax contributions through compensation deferrals
to the plan and receive tax-deferred investment returns on the contributions
similar to the 401(k) plan.
This benefit is incremental to the 401(k) plan and is available to a limited group
of United States-based officers and high level managers. The assets of our
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan are held in a rabbi trust. Similar to
the 401(k) plan, earnings are not guaranteed.
