The Compensation Committee approved an annual incentive bonus for fiscal 2007 for Mr. Steven R. Rowley, President and Chief Executive Officer of $1,456,912.10. This annual incentive bonus was paid under the terms of the Eagle Materials Salaried Incentive Compensation Program for Fiscal 2007. In addition, the Compensation Committee approved a base salary for fiscal 2008 for Mr. Rowley of $750,000.
The Compensation Committee also approved the Eagle Materials Inc. Salaried Incentive Compensation Program for Fiscal Year 2008 (the “Eagle Plan”). A copy of the Eagle Plan is attached to this Report asExhibit 10.1. Under the terms of the Eagle Plan, a pool of 1.2% of the Company’s earnings before interest and taxes for fiscal 2008 is available to pay annual bonuses to participating officers, subject to reduction based on individual performance in fiscal 2008. The Compensation Committee also determined the applicable percentage of the bonus pool available for payment of the annual incentive bonus to the CEO and the other Named Officers participating in the Eagle Plan (Mr. Rowley, President and Chief Executive Officer — 40%; Mr. Arthur R. Zunker, Senior Vice President and Treasurer — 20%; and Mr. James H. Graass, Executive Vice President and General Counsel — 15%).
The remaining Named Officers (Mr. Gerry J. Essl, Executive Vice President — Cement and Concrete/Aggregates and Mr. David B.

Concrete and Aggregates Companies Salaried Incentive Compensation Program for Fiscal Year 2008 (a copy of which is attached to this Report asExhibit 10.3). In the plans in which Mr. Essl participates, the Compensation Committee approved the percentage of operating earnings of each of the Company’s cement, and concrete/aggregates subsidiaries for fiscal 2008 which is available for payment of bonuses to participating employees (2.25%) and the percentage of such bonus pool available for payment to Mr. Essl at the end of fiscal 2008 (22%), subject to reduction based on Mr. Essl’s individual performance.
