Fiscal 2010 Goals and Objectives
 
On December 16, 2010, the CEO recommended and the Committee approved the following goals and objectives to be used by the Committee when (i) determining the discretionary element of the fiscal 2011 short-term incentive awards discussed above and (ii) setting annual base salaries for fiscal 2012.  These goals and objectives were established based on four primary factors:
 
     Financial Performance
 
    Financial performance measures based on consolidated annual operating income and earnings per share.
     
    Financial incentives for Messrs. Caliel, Freeman, Fiedler and Nix and other corporate executive management are tied to the Company’s consolidated performance. Incentives for other executive officers, managers and operating division personnel are tied to both their respective operating company and/or organizational unit results.
     
    Strengthen the Company’s balance sheet.
 
     Safety Performance
 
    Safety performance targets are based on the Company’s Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) for the fiscal year.
     
    The safety performance targets for Messrs. Caliel, Freeman, Fiedler and Nix and other corporate executive management are tied to the Company’s consolidated TRIR. Safety performance targets for other executive officers, managers and operating division personnel are tied to the TRIR of both their respective operating company and organizational unit.
     
    Maintain and enhance the Company’s safety culture.
 
     Strategy and Growth Execution.
 
    Strategy and growth execution will be measured against how well the Company positioned itself for growth and diversification, including the following:
 
    s  Returning the Company to profitability
       
    s  New market and segment growth
       
    s  Business development/backlog growth
       
    s  Improved operational controls, project execution and cost optimization
       
    s  Monetizing non-strategic assets
 
     Business/Personal Objectives.
 
    Other performance criteria in the form of personal objectives were established for each executive officer in line with the Company’s fiscal year 2011 plan, including the following:
 
    s  Setting the tone at the top for achieving highest level of ethical conduct
       
    s  Improved financial control environment
       
    s  Leadership/successor development
