<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The cash bonuses were granted under our incentive cash bonus program or, the &#147;IBP,&#148; that
provides guidelines for the calculation of annual non-equity incentive based compensation in the
form of cash bonuses to our executives. Each year, the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors approves the group of executives eligible to participate in the IBP and establishes
target award opportunities for such executives, excluding our Chief Executive Officer, whose
employment agreement provides for a target award opportunity of up to 50% of his base salary.
Target award opportunities for our executives range from 20% to 50% of base salary.

performance as evaluated by our Chief Executive Officer (except with respect to our Chief Executive Officer whose individual performance is evaluated by
the Compensation Committee).
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each year, the Compensation Committee sets a target level for each component of the company
financial objective portion of the IBP. The payment of awards under the IBP is based upon whether
these target levels are achieved for the year. As an example, if we achieve the target levels for
all components of the company financial object portion of the IBP, an executive with a base salary
of $100,000 and a target award opportunity of 40% will receive a cash bonus of $40,000, assuming
the executive receives the full amount (10%) of the individual performance portion of the IBP. If
we do not achieve the target levels for all of the components, the target award opportunity for
each executive officer is decreased by 30% for each component in which there is a shortfall. For
instance, if we meet all target levels except the target level for EBITDA, the executive&#146;s award
opportunity is decreased by 30%. With respect to the example described above, the award
opportunity for the executive would be reduced from 40% to 28% (the target bonus of 40% multiplied
by 70%) and the executive would receive a cash bonus of $28,000, assuming the executive receives
the full amount of the individual performance portion of the IBP. In 2006, we met or exceeded all
of our targets and each of our executives received the maximum bonus amount they could be awarded.
