What are the perks of being in the last 10?

Now that we have the last 10 contestants in the American Idol 5, I was just wondering what are the privileges that they get to enjoy.
I know they have interviews, Press conferences to attends, and perhaps some gigs that they may have to perform for the network but what about other things that we don't get to hear about.
Those who will be dropped before reaching the last four, do they get recording contracts or things like that?

A sizable lump of money (Over 100k), being on the CD, and the concert tour. All for starters. Then you are loking at more comercials and appearances, etc.

They all received about 12K for making the top 12, and then additional money for commercials (around 30K I think.)

Unfortunately though, being in the top 10 won't keep them from being pooped on.
