Summary of Executive Salary and Bonus Arrangements

 

The table below summarizes the current annual salary and bonus arrangements we have with each of our current executive officers. All of the compensation arrangements we have with our executive officers, including with respect to annual salaries and bonuses, are reviewed and may be modified from time to time by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee approved the annual salary and bonus arrangements noted in the table below.

 

We have written employment arrangements with each of our executive officers, and a copy of each such employment arrangement has been filed as an exhibit to the accompanying Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the SEC on March 17, 2008, as applicable. The non-salary and bonus components of our compensation arrangements with our executive officers, including with respect to severance, option grants and other benefits, are described in those respective agreements. We generally pay bonuses, if any, to our executive officers on a quarterly basis. Mr. Hayek is paid bonus annually, if any. Certain of our executive officers participate in the executive bonus plan that was adopted by the Compensation Committee on February 9, 2005, a description of which is filed as Exhibit 10.33 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the SEC on March 17, 2008.
