<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Compensation Committee
used the broad-based survey data described on page&nbsp;27 of the Proxy
Statement for the purpose of obtaining a general understanding of current
compensation practices as a supplement to the specific peer group information
that the Compensation Committee considered in making its compensation
decisions.&#160; These surveys were
proprietary, represented the practices of a broad array of companies in the
general industry and service and retail industries and did not represent the
practices of selected companies operating in these sectors.&#160; Each survey indicated that between 400 and
800 companies had participated in the survey.&#160;
The companies participating in the surveys were not known to the
Compensation Committee prior to or following the analysis and the data was not
selected for use based on the specific companies participating in the
surveys.&#160; Instead, the data was used by
the Compensation Committee as a general reference point in its compensation
decisions.&#160; The Company believes that its
exclusion of the names of the companies in the surveys considered by the
Compensation Committee is consistent with the Staff&#146;s position set forth in the
response to Question 118.05 of the Staff&#146;s Regulation S-K Compliance&nbsp;&amp;

disclosed that the cash bonus opportunities under the AIP and the equity award
opportunities under the Long-Term Equity Award Program at threshold, target and

the Named Executive Officer&#146;s base salary and the Company disclosed the ranges

the target level of awards for compensation purposes based on achieving the &#147;plan&#148;

performance goals were considered very ambitious goals that were not expected
to be achieved unless the Company&#146;s results were exceptional and well above the
Business Plan.&#160; The Company also
disclosed that the Compensation Committee believed that the EPS goals were
challenging based on historical Company performance and industry and market
conditions.</font></p>
