Mr.

otherwise be entitled to receive as a member of the Board and is also
required to assign all cash compensation he receives to
MatlinPatterson.

The
amount we have reflected in this column includes compensation cost
recognized in the Company’s financial statements with respect to awards
granted in previous fiscal years and the current fiscal year, calculated
in accordance with FAS 123R. The grant date fair value of each award
granted in 2008 to Messrs. Choate, Doti, Foell, Jacobs, McNabb, Merck and
Schiewitz was $100,000 each. The methodology and assumptions used to
calculate the valuation of the stock awards granted to non-management
directors are set forth in Note l7, “Stock Incentive Plans,” to our
consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31,
2008.
|

|
No
stock options were granted to our non-employee directors in 2008. As of
December 31, 2008, Messrs. Foell, Jacobs and McNabb held options to
purchase 34,000, 34,000, and 30,000 shares of Common Stock,
respectively.

|
The
Company’s executives should receive a base salary that is generally
competitive with those paid by other publicly held homebuilding companies
with consideration given to the executives’ experience, duties,
responsibilities and prior contribution to the
Company.
|
·
|
Annual
incentive opportunities should represent a significant portion of total
compensation for executives and should provide for variations in operating
and individual performance.
|
·
|
Stock
options should be used so that our executives have a financial interest in
the creation of long-term stockholder value and to encourage ownership of
the Company’s equity by our executives. In addition, our executives should
be encouraged to maintain a requisite level of stock ownership. These
components directly align the executives’ interests and rewards with the
risks and opportunities of the Company’s other stockholders, by exposing
the executives to meaningful downside risk and upside
potential.
|
·
|
The
overall level of total compensation for executives should be reasonable in
relation to and competitive with the compensation paid to similarly
situated executives at other publicly-traded homebuilding companies,
subject to variation for factors such as the individual executive’s
experience, duties, responsibilities and prior contribution to the
Company.
