  Entry

  On
        February 15, 2006, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors approved
        an annual bonus in respect of fiscal year 2005 for Henry R. Silverman, our
        Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, equal to $12,316,600. The 2005 bonus
        is
        approximately 20% less than the bonus paid to Mr. Silverman for fiscal year
        2004
        and 8% less than the bonus paid to Mr. Silverman for fiscal year
        2003.
  As
        previously disclosed, the bonus amount is determined based on the formula set
        forth in Mr. Silverman's employment agreement that was amended in August 2004
        pursuant to the settlement of a stockholder derivative action.
