Eighteen:&#160; You disclose that the compensation committee considers, among
other factors, the competitive marketplace conditions in setting base salaries

committee reviews and takes into consideration to help it assess the marketplace
for executive talent, and how such information influences the committee&#8217;s

salary adjustment for Mr. Hackamack and Ms. Holley in 2008 was based on the
CEO&#8217;s recommendation to the Committee that their job performance in 2008
warranted the salary increase for each.&#160;&#160;An example would be the
extensive negotiation of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement during
historical challenging conditions in the financial markets.&#160;&#160;The CEO
will discuss the executives&#8217; job performance with the Committee and answer any
questions that they may have regarding the recommendation.&#160;&#160;There have
been years when the Company did not make money and the executives did not
receive a bonus even though they did their job.&#160;&#160;As stated above, the
Committee&#160;discusses the executive's current performance but if the Company
did not make any money, they may not receive an increase in their base salary or
a bonus.&#160;&#160;It may not have been according to the executive&#8217;s employment
agreement, but the executive understood the Committee&#8217;s
decision.</font></div><br>
