Exhibit 10.4
Fiscal Year 2006 Bonus Plan Enhancement
Addendum to Fiscal Year 2006 Bonus Plan
Each bonus eligible associate of the Company will receive a one-time bonus
enhancement applicable to the associate’s Fiscal Year 2006 Annual Bonus Plan
(but excluding Store Manager and Assistant Store Manager level annual bonus
plans, and other special project bonuses). Aaron Brothers District Managers are
on a quarterly bonus plan and will be eligible for an enhancement plan using
similar concepts as outlined below.
Purpose
The Company’s management team represents an important asset of the Company. This
Bonus Plan Enhancement will serve to provide retention value to employees during
a year in which the Company explores strategic alternatives to increase its
stockholders’ value, encourage continued high levels of performance, and to
ensure focus on and continuity of the Company’s business operations.
Bonus Plan Enhancement Details

  1.   The eligibility provisions set forth in the associate’s FY 2006 Bonus
Plan apply to this Bonus Enhancement.     2.   The Company guarantees a bonus
payment to the associate under the FY 2006 Bonus Plan at a payout level of one
step below Target (i.e., Plan 100%), to be paid in March 2007.     3.   In
addition to the bonus payout outlined in the associate’s FY 2006 Bonus Plan,
each associate will be eligible to receive an additional bonus payment of
between 0% and 75% of the Target bonus percentage. Determination of the
additional bonus payment will be based solely upon the associate’s FY 2006
Performance Appraisal rating, as follows:

      FY 2006 Performance Appraisal Rating     *   Additional Payout Potential
Exceeds Expectations   75% of Target bonus payout High Meets Expectations   50%
of Target bonus payout Low Meets Expectations   25% of Target bonus payout Needs
Development   0%

 

*   More details on this rating scale will be distributed prior to the FY 2006
mid-year review

Example

  1.   Assume an employee with a FY 2006 bonus eligible salary of $60,000 (as of
FY begin: January 29, 2006), with a Target bonus of 10% and Super bonus of 15%,
as outlined in the employee’s FY 2006 Bonus Plan.     2.   At a payout level of
one step below Target (FY 2006 guarantee), the FY 2006 bonus payment would be:

  •   $60,000 X 8.75% = $5,250 (may be higher based upon actual bonus plan
criteria performance)

  3.   The additional payout potential based upon the associate’s individual
performance would add the following, depending upon the FY 2006 Performance
Appraisal rating:

  •   If Low Meets Expectations (25% X Target 10% X $60,000) = $1,500     •   If
High Meets Expectations (50% X Target 10% X $60,000) = $3,000     •   If Exceeds
Expectations (75% X Target 10% X $60,000) = $4,500

  4.   If the associate is rated Low Meets Expectations, the total minimum
payout potential would be:

  •   $5,250 + $1,500 = $6,750

  5.   If the associate is rated Exceeds Expectations and the Super payout level
is achieved, the payout potential would be:

  •   $60,000 X 15% = $6,000 plus $4,500 = $10,500
