New Plan Benefits

Each of the named executive officers has been designated as participants in the 1999 Executive Bonus Plan and are eligible to receive Performance Goal Bonus Awards in respect of the 2009 fiscal year. Because Performance Goal Bonus Awards payable under the 1999 Executive Bonus Plan are based on satisfaction of certain performance goals in each Plan Year, it cannot be determined at this time what amounts under the Performance Goal Bonus Awards portion of the 1999 Executive Bonus Plan, if any, will be received by any participants with respect to the 2009 fiscal year. No Performance Goal Bonus Awards were paid to any eligible recipients in 2008, due to the failure of the Company to achieve the designated performance goals.

New Plan Benefits

Because Performance Goal Bonus Awards payable under the 1999 Executive Bonus Plan, as amended by the 1999 Plan Amendment, are based on satisfaction of certain performance goals in each Plan Year, it cannot be determined at this time what amounts under the Performance Goal Bonus Awards portion of the 1999 Executive Bonus Plan, as amended by the 1999 Plan Amendment, if any, will be received by any participants with respect to the 2007 Plan Year. As noted above, the performance goals for the Performance Goal Bonus Award that may be paid to Mr. Smith for 2007 are based on the achievement by ARG of certain levels of Modified EBITDA, the additional criterion to be added to the 1999 Executive Bonus Plan by the 1999 Plan Amendment. The maximum Performance Goal Bonus Award that may be paid to Mr. Smith with respect to 2007 has been set by the Performance Committee at 175% of his annual base salary, or $1,750,000.

In addition, the amounts that would have been paid to participants if the 1999 Plan Amendment had been in effect during the 2006 Plan Year cannot be determined for any participants because the 1999 Plan Amendment simply adds an additional criterion to the 1999 Executive Bonus Plan, and the 1999 Executive Bonus Plan does not require that any specific criterion be used with respect to any Performance Goal Bonus Award. The bonuses paid to Messrs. Peltz, May, Garden, McCarron and Sachs included in the “Summary Compensation Table” above with respect to 2006, were pursuant to the 1999 Executive Bonus Plan.

Each of Messrs. Peltz, May, Garden, McCarron, Sachs, Schorr and Smith have been designated as participants in the 1999 Executive Bonus Plan and are eligible to receive Performance Goal Bonus Awards in respect of the 2007 Plan Year.

New Plan Benefits

      Because Performance Goal Bonus Awards payable under the 1999 Executive Bonus Plan, as amended by the Amendment, are based on satisfaction of certain performance goals in each Plan Year, it cannot be determined at this time what amounts under the Performance Goal Bonus Awards portion of the 1999 Executive Bonus Plan, as amended by the Amendment, if any, will be received by any participants with respect to the 2005 Plan Year. In addition, the amounts that would have been paid to participants if the Amendment had been in effect during the 2004 Plan Year cannot be determined for any participants other than Mr. Sachs because the Amendment simply added an additional criterion to the 1999 Executive Bonus Plan and provided that performance periods under the 1999 Executive Bonus Plan could exceed one Plan Year, but did not require than any specific criterion or performance period be used with respect to any Performance Goal Bonus Award. The criterion used to determine the attainment of the performance goals for any Performance Goal Bonus Award granted to Mr. Sachs by the Performance Compensation Subcommittee is the additional criterion added to the 1999 Executive Bonus Plan by the Amendment and his performance period is over the term of his employment agreement, as further described under the heading “Certain Employment Arrangements with Executive Officers—Gregory H. Sachs”. Had the additional criterion been added to the 1999 Executive Bonus Plan and had Mr. Sachs been entitled to an additional annual bonus under his employment agreement for the 2004 Plan Year, Mr. Sachs would have received an additional annual bonus equal to $1,048,786 (using D&C's 2004 post-acquisition EBITDA, on an annualized basis). The bonuses paid to Messrs. Peltz, May, Garden, Schorr and McCarron and included in the “Summary Compensation Table” above
