OF

DIRECTOR AND EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION

Non-Employee Director Compensation

Our compensation plan for non-employee directors consists of both a cash component and an equity component. We pay each non-employee director $5,000 per quarter, plus $2,500 for each Board meeting attended ($1,250 if held telephonically), plus reimbursement for expenses. The Chairman of the Board receives an additional $2,500 per quarter in addition to the non-employee director fee of $5,000 per quarter.  Members of the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee receive a retainer of $500 per quarter in lieu of a fee for committee meetings attended during a quarter and members of the Nominating and Governance Committee receive $500 for each committee meeting attended ($250 if held telephonically and no fee if held the same day as a Board meeting).

In addition to the cash component of compensation, each non-employee director receives stock options.  Under our 2003 Equity Incentive Plan, which we refer to as the 2003 Incentive Plan, each non-employee director receives a ten-year nonqualified stock option to purchase 18,000 shares on the same date as the company’s annual meeting of shareholders.  These options are exercisable at fair market value on the date of grant and vest in equal monthly installments over a 12-month period, as measured from the grant date.  When a new non-employee director joins the board, such director will be awarded a new option for a number of shares determined by multiplying 1,500 by the number of months remaining until the next scheduled annual meeting date, giving credit for any partial month.  Such option will vest at the rate of 1,500 shares per month and will be fully vested at the next annual meeting date, at which time the director will receive the normal annual grant. If the proposal related to the 2003 Incentive Plan that has been submitted to a vote of shareholders at our 2007 annual meeting is approved, the formula stock options granted to non-employee directors on the 2007 annual meeting date and thereafter will have six-year terms.

On November 14, 2006, the date of our last annual meeting of shareholders, Robert Degan, Bill Miller and Michael Norkus each received an option for 18,000 shares.

On December 20, 2006, in connection with his appointment as our Interim President and Chief Executive Officer, Scott McClendon received an option to purchase up to 75,000 shares of our common stock at the purchase price of $4.29 per share (the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant) pursuant to the 2003 Incentive Plan.  The option was immediately vested as to 6,250 shares (reflecting the commencement of service as Interim President and Chief Executive Officer on November 1, 2006), with the remainder vesting at a rate of 6,250 shares on the first day of each month commencing January 1, 2007 through November 1, 2007, so long as Mr. McClendon is providing services to the Company.  The option has a ten-year life, subject to continuous service to us. Mr. McClendon resigned as Interim President and Chief Executive Officer on August 7, 2007, but continues to serve as Chairman of the Board.

Retention Agreements

We entered into amended and restated retention agreements with Messrs. Farkaly, Gawarecki, Kalbfleisch, LoForti and Scroop effective September 27, 2007. These agreements provide that the officer will receive a lump sum severance payment if, within two years of the consummation of a change in control of our company, he is terminated without cause or resigns with good reason. These severance payments are based on the officer’s base salary at the time of the consummation of the change in control or the termination date, whichever is higher, plus his or her target bonus for the year prior to the consummation of the change in control, or in the case of Mr. Farkaly, the target sales commission he is eligible to receive, prior to a change of control, in the event targeted revenue is achieved for the year. The agreements provide that, upon a change in control, Mr. LoForti would be entitled to receive an amount equal to 2.0 times his base salary plus target bonus; and Messrs. Farkaly, Gawarecki, Kalbfleisch, and Scroop each would be entitled to an amount equal to his respective base salary plus target bonus (or in the case of Mr. Farkaly, target sales commission). If any portion of any payment under any of the agreements would constitute an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, then that payment will be reduced to an amount that is one dollar less than the threshold for triggering the tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code.
