Bonuses





The named
executive officers may receive cash bonuses at the discretion of the
Compensation Committee.  No bonuses were awarded to the named
executives for 2008.


Corporate
Vehicle Program
 
 The
Company maintains a corporate vehicle program for officers at or above the level
of First Vice President and other associates at the discretion of the Chief
Executive Officer.  Prior to January 1, 2009, participants in the
program were given the choice of the use of a Company-purchased vehicle, with
the Company covering the purchase cost up to a specified amount and the costs of
operating the vehicle (including insurance, gasoline, maintenance, repairs and
personal use), or a monthly allowance intended to cover the costs of the
officer’s operation of his or her own vehicle.  Effective December 31,
2008, the purchase of new vehicles under the program was
suspended.  Participants who operated Company-provided vehicles under
the program prior to January 1, 2009 have been given the option of retaining
their Company vehicle and gasoline credit card up to or beyond the Minimum Term
or, alternatively, receiving the monthly allowance under the
program.  Participants operating Company-provided vehicles have the
option of purchasing the vehicles prior to or following the end of the Minimum
Term in accordance with the terms of the program.  The monthly
allowance option and minimum term (for Company-provided vehicles) for the
Executive Managing Director level and above are currently as
follows:

Supplemental
Life Insurance Benefit





The Board

Lombardi, which is consistent with the existing supplemental life insurance
benefit being provided to Mr. Doyle.  The benefit is in the form of a
$250,000 term policy on which the Company will pay the premiums and gross-up the
officers’ compensation for the tax liability they incur as a result of this
benefit.
