and a member of the Compensation Committee. As such, the members of the Company&#146;s Compensation Committee are not all independent. Although the Company&#146;s executive compensation program is established by the Compensation Committee, from time

STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company maintains a cash compensation program which is designed to motivate, retain and attract management and is comprised of base salary and
bonuses. The purpose of the base salary is to create a secure base of cash compensation for executives that is competitive with the market. Executive salaries do not follow a preset schedule or formula. Since 2001, the base salaries of the Chief
Executive Officer, the Chief Administrative Officer and the Chief Executive Officer of American Waste Management Services, Inc. (&#147;AWMS&#148;), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, have not changed. For the most part, increases in
compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers are dependent upon discretionary bonuses, with the exception of Mr.&nbsp;Kenneth McMahon, Chief Executive Officer of AWMS. In order to provide an incentive for Mr.&nbsp;McMahon
to grow and increase the profitability of AWMS, Mr.&nbsp;McMahon receives, as a bonus, ten percent of the income before taxes of AWMS. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The

change in responsibilities and their potential to contribute to the success of the Company. No specific weights have been assigned to those factors. With regard to individual performance of executive officers, other than the Chief Executive Officer,
the Compensation Committee relies to a large extent on the Chief Executive Officer&#146;s evaluation of each individual executive officer&#146;s performance. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

of Directors may grant stock options to executive officers and non-employee directors. The stock options granted are discretionary and are not based on specific performance goals. To date, no options have been granted under the 1998 Long-term

the Compensation Committee has not established a policy with respect to the nondeductibility of such employee compensation. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The
