EMPLOYEE TERMINATION BENEFIT PLAN BEYOND THE MINIMUM RETENTION PERIOD At its May 25, 2003, meeting, the Board of Directors of Bravo Company approved a plan to consolidate certain production facilities. A facility in Arkansas was to be closed on October 1, 2004, terminating 300 employees working there.

On June 1, 2003, Bravo notified the employees of the restructuring plan. In order to encourage the employees to stay at the facility until the termination date, Bravo agreed to pay each employee $20,000 on April 1, 2005, six months after termination.

Based on its traditional annual employee turnover of 80.5%, Bravo anticipated that 242 employees will collect the benefit.

The six-month rate for U.S. Treasury securities at June 1, 2003, was 1.5%. Bravo's credit- adjusted risk free interest rate is 4%. This rate resulted in a present value factor of 0.98039 for the six-month period.
