the
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports of ownership and changes in
ownership of Common Stock and Series D Preferred Stock. Directors and executive
officers are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies
of

Employment
Agreements
The
Company and Mr. Benedetti are parties to a Severance Agreement that is effective
as of June 11, 2004 and that will stay in effect for the duration of Mr.
Benedetti’s employment with the Company. The severance agreement provides
generally that a lump sum payment will be made to Mr. Benedetti under certain
circumstances upon his termination of employment with the Company. Such
circumstances include the termination of employment by Mr. Benedetti for
“good
reason” (as defined in the agreement), such as the occurrence of a change in
control of the Company, or the termination of his employment by the Company
without “cause” (as defined in the agreement). In such events, Mr. Benedetti
will have the right to receive a lump sum payment equal to the sum of (i)
Mr.
Benedetti’s base salary and bonus that has accrued but has not been paid, (ii)
the equivalent of Mr. Benedetti’s annual base salary of one year for every
fifty months that Mr. Benedetti has been employed by the Company prorated
for
any period of less than fifty months and (iii) any other amounts or benefits
Mr. Benedetti is entitled to receive under any plan, program, policy or
practice or contract or agreement of the Company. Mr. Benedetti also will
become fully vested in any options, stock appreciation rights or other forms
of
incentive stock compensation granted to Mr. Benedetti under the 2004 Stock
Incentive Plan if he terminates his employment for good reason or if he is
terminated without cause. If a termination under the severance agreement
had
occurred as of April 24, 2006, the payments due to Mr. Benedetti would have
been
approximately $630,000.
Directors’
Compensation
Each
director receives an annual fee of $25,000, plus $1,000 for each meeting
of the
Board of Directors and Audit Committee he attends and $750 for each meeting
of
all other committees he attends. The Chairman of the Board receives an
additional annual fee of $15,000, so long as he is not an employee of the
Company, and the Chairman of the Audit Committee receives an additional fee
of
$3,000.
Directors
are reimbursed expenses related to their attendance at Board of Director
or
committee meetings.
In
addition, the directors receive annually a grant of stock options for 5,000
shares of common stock, under the Company’s 2004 Stock Incentive Plan. The stock
options will be fully-vested at the grant date, will have a five-year term
and
will be granted at a strike
4
price
at
10% above the market price on the date of grant. The grant date will be the
first Friday following each year’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

13. Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions
The
Company and Dynex Commercial, Inc., now known as DCI Commercial, Inc. (“DCI”),
have been jointly named in litigation regarding the activities of DCI while
it
was an operating subsidiary of a previous affiliate of the Company, Dynex
Holding, Inc. The Company and DCI entered into a Litigation Cost Sharing
Agreement whereby the parties set forth how the costs of defending against
litigation would be shared, and whereby the Company agreed to fund all costs
of
such litigation, including DCI’s portion. DCI’s cumulative portion of costs
associated with the litigation and funded by the Company is approximately
$3.3 million and is secured by the proceeds of any counterclaims that DCI
may receive in the litigation. DCI costs funded by the Company are considered
loans and bear simple interest at the rate of Prime plus 8.0% per annum.
At
December 31, 2005, the total amount due the Company under the Litigation
Cost
Sharing Agreement, including interest, was approximately $4.6 million, which
has
been fully reserved by the Company. DCI is currently wholly-owned by ICD
Holding, Inc. Stephen J. Benedetti is currently the sole shareholder of ICD
Holding. For more information on this litigation, see “Item 3. Legal
Proceedings” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2005.

Pre-Approval
Policies and Procedures
All
services not related to the annual audit and quarterly review of the Company’s
financial statements, as described above, were pre-approved by the Audit
Committee, which concluded that the provision of such services by the Company’s
independent registered public accounting firm was compatible with the
maintenance of that firm’s independence in the conduct of its auditing
functions. The Audit Committee’s Charter provides for pre-approval of audit and
permitted non-audit services. The Charter authorizes the Audit Committee
to
delegate to one or more of its members pre-approval authority with respect
to
permitted services.
The
decisions of any Audit Committee member to whom pre-approval authority is
delegated must be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled
meeting.
