<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
July 24, 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Cintas Corporation
adopted an Executive Incentive Plan which establishes financial and strategic
criteria to be used in establishing bonus and equity award grants for each fiscal year beginning
with fiscal year 2007.  The Plan applies to all executive officers of Cintas other than Richard T. Farmer,
Robert J. Kohlhepp and Scott D. Farmer. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the Plan, each Executive
Officer will receive a base salary and will be eligible for a cash and long term equity
incentive bonus. The cash and long term equity incentive bonus will be based on the
achievement of targeted earnings per share growth and individual goals linked to the
Executive Officer&#146;s individual area of responsibility. The Company will establish a
targeted bonus for each Executive Officer. If the Company meets the targeted earnings per
share growth and the Executive Officer achieves his or her individual goals, the Executive
Officer will receive the targeted bonus amount. This amount can increase to up to 200% or
decrease to 50% of the targeted bonus depending on the extent to which the earnings per
share and individual goals are achieved. If the goals up to a certain level are not met,
no bonus will be paid. The bonuses will be paid in cash and Cintas restricted stock and
non-qualified stock options. Restricted stock and non-qualified stock options to be
awarded to these executives will be granted pursuant to the terms and conditions of the
2005 Equity Compensation Plan. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On July 24, 2006, the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors of Cintas Corporation approved a compensation
arrangement for Scott D. Farmer.  Under the arrangement, Mr. Farmer will receive a base
salary and be eligible for a cash bonus in each fiscal year beginning with fiscal 2007.
 The bonus would be based on the achievement of targeted earnings per share growth and
sales growth and other performance goals outlined by the compensation Committee.  If
Cintas meets the targeted growth and earnings per share and sales and the other key
performance indicators, Mr. Farmer will receive the target bonus amount.  The bonus can
increase to up to 189% or decrease to 7% of the targeted bonus, depending on the extent
to which these goals are achieved.  If the goals up to certain levels are not met, no
bonus will be paid. </FONT></P>
