POST-TERMINATION COMPENSATION AND CHANGE OF CONTROL PAYMENTS

Mr. Caldwell’s employment was governed by an employment agreement dated February 7, 2005, until that employment agreement was superseded by an employment agreement dated August 15, 2006. With respect to the other executive officers prior to fiscal year 2007, the terms of employment regarding compensation and termination benefits were governed by terms outlined in individual offers of employment. In March of 2007, we amended the employment agreement with Mr. Caldwell, and the employment arrangements for Mr. Hoffrogge and Ms. Todd were formalized into employment agreements that mirrored the provisions outlined in each original offer letter. There are no changes between Mr. Caldwell’s prior agreement and the offer letters that had been in place with Mr. Hoffrogge and Ms. Todd as compared to the new employment agreements with respect to any of the termination provisions detailed in this section.

Termination Without Cause

The executive officers have employment agreements with the Company that provide compensation upon termination for other than cause.

Under the agreements, the Company provides its executive officers, except for the Chief Executive Officer, with benefits equal to:

In the event that, prior to the end of the salary continuation period, the executive officer obtains alternative employment that provides total remuneration that is at least 75% of the executive officer’s total compensation previously provided by the Company, then the salary continuation payments will be discontinued and the Company will provide a lump sum payment, less applicable deductions, that is equivalent to 50% of the then remaining salary continuation payments that the executive officer would have been entitled to.

The Chief Executive Officer’s employment agreement also provides compensation upon termination for other than cause. Under this agreement, the Company provides the Chief Executive Officer a lump sum payment, less applicable statutory deductions, equivalent to two times the aggregate base salary plus the target bonus payable under the Incentive Plan.

In the event that an executive officer is terminated without cause and is the recipient of the compensation described above, the executive officer must adhere to certain non-solicitation and confidentiality covenants in his or her respective employment agreement in order to receive such compensation during the severance period. Specifically, such executive officer cannot solicit any of the Company’s customers or employees for a period of eighteen (18) months, and he or she cannot disclose or make use of any of the Company’s confidential information in the same manner that was agreed to in the employment agreement. If the executive officer violates any of these covenants during the salary continuation period, all salary continuation payments and any rights to such will be terminated.

Termination in the Event of a Change of Control

The Company has included a change of control provision in the employment agreement of the Chief Executive Officer. In the event of a change of control as described below, if within six months following the change of control the Chief Executive Officer is terminated without cause or is constructively dismissed, the Chief Executive Officer is entitled to a lump sum payment, less applicable statutory deductions, equivalent to two times the aggregate base salary plus the target bonus payable under the Incentive Plan. In establishing this provision, the Board of Directors considered the market competitiveness of the arrangement and the Company’s ability at the time to retain a qualified Chief Executive Officer.

In the Chief Executive Officer’s employment agreement, a change of control is defined as follows:

Termination as a Result of the Privatization of the Company

In the event that the Company’s common shares cease to be publicly traded or the Company ceases to be an SEC registrant (except by reason of a change of control where the executive officer continues as Chief Executive Officer of a successor public company), the Chief Executive Officer may at his option, deem his employment to have been terminated without cause. He would then be entitled to all of the benefits specific to him described above in “Termination Without Cause.”

Accelerated Vesting of Stock Options in the Event of a Change of Control

The 2000 Plan contains provisions to protect the executive officers in the event of a change of control, defined in the 2000 Plan as a “covered transaction.”

In the 2000 Plan, a covered transaction is defined as any of:

In the event of a covered transaction:

In connection with any covered transaction in which there is an acquiring, a surviving entity or in which all or substantially all of the Company’s then outstanding Common Stock is acquired, the Compensation Committee may provide for substitute or replacement awards from, or the assumption of awards by, the company, the acquiring or surviving entity or its affiliates, as applicable.

Termination in the Event of Disability

The employment agreements of the executive officers provide for termination in the event of a partial or total disability of an executive officer.

11

Table of Contents

“Partially or Totally Disabled” means any physical or mental incapacity, disease or affliction, as determined by a legally qualified medical practitioner, which prevents the executive officer from performing the essential duties of his position.

In the event that the executive officer is Partially or Totally Disabled for a period of six (6) months or less, he shall receive all remuneration including bonuses, payments and rights including all benefits provided for under the employment agreement, as if he were regularly and fully employed.

In the event that the executive officer is Partially or Totally Disabled for a continuous period of more than six (6) months, the Company shall be entitled to terminate the employment of the executive officer by giving written notice to the executive officer. In the event of a termination of employment under these circumstances, the executive officer shall be entitled to the salary continuance benefits that would have been payable if the termination was involuntary and not for cause (as described above).

In April 2004, the Board adopted an Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy for the Audit Committee. Under the policy, the Audit Committee has pre-approved certain audit and audit related services, tax services and other services. The Audit Committee has determined that the provision of those services that are pre- approved in the policy will not impair the independence of the auditor. The provision of services by the auditor which are not pre-approved in the policy are subject to separate pre-approval by the Audit Committee. The policy also pre-approved certain specified fee levels for the specific services. Payments in excess of these specified levels are subject to separate pre-approval by the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee has considered whether KPMG LLP’s provision of non-audit services is compatible with its independence. We expect that representatives from KPMG LLP will be present at the Annual Meeting and will be available to respond to appropriate questions and have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire.
