 (e)(2) Adoption of Bonus Plan Target Bonuses for 2008

Most of our executive officers and selected senior managers ("Designated Participants") participate annually in our 1999 Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Bonus Plan"). Under the Bonus Plan, the Designated Participants are eligible to earn annual bonuses based on formulas tied to certain predefined financial performance targets that are established annually by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. Each Designated Participant is assigned a "Target Bonus" at the beginning of the fiscal year, expressed as a percentage of his or her annual base salary.

On January 29, 2008, the Compensation Committee established the following Target Bonuses for the following executive officers with respect to their participation in the Bonus Plan for fiscal year 2008:  Thomas W. Bishop, 70%; Reed N. Brimhall, 60%; H. Thomas Hicks, 100%; Gary V. Jandegian, 100%; Susan B. Kilgannon, 45%; Joseph Masters, 70%  and Randall A.Wotring, 100%.

No adjustments were discussed or  made at this meeting with respect to the compensation of Martin M. Koffel.  Information regarding compensation of Thomas H. Zarges, the newly appointed President of our Washington Division, is reported in an amendment, of even date herewith, to the Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 16, 2008 reporting his appointment to that position.
