      the
      beginning of the Company&#8217;s 2006 fiscal year, the Compensation Committee of the
      Board of Directors of Dollar General Corporation (the &#8220;Company&#8221;) had established
      certain net income goals in connection with the Company&#8217;s annual &#8220;Teamshare&#8221;
bonus program (for a description of the Teamshare bonus program, see the
      Company&#8217;s Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 16, 2006, filed with the SEC on
      March 21, 2006). The Teamshare bonus program is designed to motivate and reward
      the performance of approximately 7,000 Company employees who are necessary
      to
      the Company&#8217;s success. </font></div>

      the
      course of the year, it became clear that the Teamshare net income goals were
      no
      longer a relevant measure of management&#8217;s success because of significant
      restructuring of the business and strategic changes (as described in the
      Company&#8217;s Current Report on Form 8-K dated November 28, 2006, filed with the SEC
      on November 29, 2006) and that those goals would not be met. After extensive
      discussion and analysis, and with authority from the Board of Directors, the
      Compensation Committee determined that a discretionary bonus payout should
      be
      authorized, outside of the annual &#8220;Teamshare&#8221; bonus program, to recognize the
      restructuring and strategic efforts made by the Company over the course of
      the
      year. The Committee believes that this action is necessary to align the fiscal
      year 2006 short-term performance incentive more closely to the Company&#8217;s current
      revitalization strategy, to reward these critical employees for their
      accomplishments to date towards the implementation of that revised strategy,
      and
      to motivate and retain the officers and employees who are integral to the

(e)
At
      the
      beginning of the Company's 2006 fiscal year, the Compensation Committee of the
      Board of Directors of Dollar General Corporation (the "Company") had established
      certain net income goals in connection with the Company's annual "Teamshare"
bonus program (for a description of the Teamshare bonus program, see the
      Company's Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 16, 2006, filed with the SEC on
      March 21, 2006). The Teamshare bonus program is designed to motivate and reward
      the performance of approximately 7,000 Company employees who are necessary
      to
      the Company's success.
Over
      the
      course of the year, it became clear that the Teamshare net income goals were
      no
      longer a relevant measure of management's success because of significant
      restructuring of the business and strategic changes (as described in the
      Company's Current Report on Form 8-K dated November 28, 2006, filed with the SEC
      on November 29, 2006) and that those goals would not be met. After extensive
      discussion and analysis, and with authority from the Board of Directors, the
      Compensation Committee determined that a discretionary bonus payout should
      be
      authorized, outside of the annual "Teamshare" bonus program, to recognize the
      restructuring and strategic efforts made by the Company over the course of
      the
      year. The Committee believes that this action is necessary to align the fiscal
      year 2006 short-term performance incentive more closely to the Company's current
      revitalization strategy, to reward these critical employees for their
      accomplishments to date towards the implementation of that revised strategy,
      and
      to motivate and retain the officers and employees who are integral to the
      strategy's continued successful execution.
Accordingly,
      on January 30, 2007, the Compensation Committee authorized an approximately
      $9.6
      million discretionary bonus pool to be distributed to the officers and employees
      of the Company who would have been eligible to receive a bonus payout under
      the
      previously established annual "Teamshare" bonus program. No payouts under the
      2006 Teamshare bonus program will be made.
David
      Perdue, Chief Executive Officer, and David Bere, President and Chief Operating
      Officer, at their own request, were not considered for a payout from the
      authorized discretionary bonus pool.
The
      amounts to be paid to the Company's executive officers have been determined by
      the Compensation Committee. The amounts to be paid to the Company's
      non-executive officers and other employees will be determined in the discretion
      of Mr. Perdue, with special emphasis on high performers.
The
      Compensation Committee determined that the following executive officers, who
      were the Company's "named executive officers" in its 2006 Proxy Statement, shall
      be paid the following amounts from the discretionary bonus pool:
David
                Tehle,
Executive
                Vice President &
Chief
                Financial Officer
