    Bonuses

Annual Incentive Compensation Plan

Each Named Executive Officer, excluding Mary J. Shea, is eligible to receive a bonus under the Annual Incentive Compensation Plan. The Annual Incentive Compensation Plan is designed as a team bonus and is not triggered unless the Company meets or exceeds its budgeted earnings per share for fiscal 2008 (calculated after giving effect to any bonuses accrued under the Annual Incentive Compensation Plan). Individuals of the bonus team are eligible to receive a cash bonus with a target of 100% of the annual base salary for Mr. McCusker and 75% of the annual base salary for each of Messrs. Norris, Deitch and Furman, if earned, that may be paid annually to each of these executive officers. Twenty per cent of the potential cash bonus is based on individual performance and 80% of the potential cash bonus is based on the achievement of earnings per share measures for the Company which have been established by the Compensation Committee, or EPS. To the extent EPS exceeds EPS budget/target established by our board of directors, the above listed executive officers may earn up to a maximum of 150% of their EPS bonus prorated between the EPS budget/target and 110% of the EPS budget/target. Payment of any cash bonus under this program will be paid only to the extent the EPS budget/target is attained after expensing all compensation.

    Deferred Compensation

Under The Providence Service Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan (“Deferred Compensation Plan”), a select group of management, including the Named Executive Officers, highly compensated employees and independent contractors (“Participant(s)”), may defer up to 100% of their base salary, service and performance based bonuses, commissions or Form 1099 compensation in order to provide for future retirement and other benefits on behalf of the Participants. The Company may make a discretionary credit to a Participant’s deferred compensation account in accordance with the Deferred Compensation Plan. The Company will maintain a deferred compensation account for each Participant where the Participant’s deferral amounts and credits the Company makes will be credited, investment gains or losses will be credited or debited, and subsequent distributions in accordance with the rules and elections in effect from time to time will be debited. Participants will be fully vested immediately in all amounts deferred by the Participant and any discretionary credits made by the Company to the Participant’s deferred compensation account. The Company may make additional other credits to the Participant’s deferred compensation account for which the vesting will be determined at the time of grant. In addition, Participants will be able to select from several fund choices and their deferred compensation account will increase or decrease in value in accordance with the performance of the funds selected. A Participant may receive a distribution from the Deferred Compensation Plan upon a qualifying distribution event such as separation from service, disability, death, in-service or education distribution, change in control or an unforeseeable emergency all as defined in the Deferred Compensation Plan. Distributions from the Deferred Compensation Plan will be made in cash upon a qualifying distribution event under several options and in the manner elected by the Participant. For example, as determined by the Participant, distributions from the Deferred Compensation Plan may be made in a lump sum, annual installments, or a combination of both commencing as soon as possible after (but no later than 60 days after) the distribution date elected for the qualifying distribution event. The Deferred Compensation Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan administered and maintained by the Company primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation benefits to Participants.
