 Item 11. Executive Compensation
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Overview of Compensation Program
 
     The Compensation Committee of the Board is responsible for establishing and implementing our compensation philosophy. The Compensation Committee believes that the total compensation paid to our executive officers should be and is fair, reasonable and competitive. Throughout this Form 10-K/A, the individuals who served as our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer during 2007, as well as the other executive officers included in the Summary Compensation Table on page 14, are referred to as the “Named Executive Officers.”
 
Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
 
     The Compensation Committee believes that executive officer compensation be structured to provide competitive base salaries and benefits to attract and retain superior employees and to provide short- and long-term incentive compensation to incentivize executive officers to attain, and to reward executive officers for attaining, established financial goals that are consistent with increasing stockholder value. The Compensation Committee uses a combination of cash bonuses and retention based equity awards as key components in the short- and long-term incentive compensation arrangements for executive officers, including the Named Executive Officers.
 
     The Compensation Committee’s goal is to maintain compensation programs that are competitive within our industry and geographic market. Each year, the Compensation Committee reviews the executive compensation program with respect to the external competitiveness of the program, the linkage between executive compensation and the creation of stockholder value, and determines what changes, if any, are appropriate.
 
     In determining the form and amount of compensation payable to Named Executive Officers, the Compensation Committee is guided by the following objectives and principles:
      Compensation levels should be sufficiently competitive to attract and retain key executives. We aim to ensure that our executive compensation program attracts, motivates and retains high performance talent and rewards them for our achieving and maintaining a competitive position in our industry and geographic market. Total

compensation (i.e. maximum achievable compensation) should increase with position and responsibility.
      Compensation should relate directly to performance and incentive compensation should be a portion of total compensation. We aim to foster a pay-for-performance culture, with the bonus portion of total compensation being “at risk.” Accordingly, absent unusual circumstances, any bonus payable as part of total compensation should be tied to and vary with our financial, operational and strategic performance, as well as individual performance. Bonuses should not be granted if these goals and results are not achieved.
      Long-term incentive compensation should align executives’ interests with our stockholders. Awards of equity-based compensation encourage executives to focus on our long-term growth and prospects, and incentivize executives to manage the company from the perspective of stockholders with a meaningful stake in us, as well as to focus on long-term career orientation.
 
     Our executive compensation program is designed to reward the achievement of goals regarding growth, productivity and profitability, including such goals as:
      To assist the Company in achieving and surpassing its internal targets and budgets, including quarterly financial and operating targets.
      To recruit, motivate and exhibit leadership that aligns employees’ interests with that of our stockholders.
      To develop business models and systems that seek out strategic opportunities, which benefit us and our stockholders.
      To implement a culture of compliance and commitment to operate our business with the highest standards of professional conduct and compliance.
Compensation Committee Practices and Procedures  
     The Compensation Committee determines and reviews the value and forms of compensation for the Named Executive Officers and other officers based on the Compensation Committee members’ general knowledge and experience and commercially available compensation surveys prepared by third party firms.
 
     The Compensation Committee is delegated all authority of the Board as may be required or advisable to fulfill the purposes of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee meets as often as it deems necessary or appropriate.
 
Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions
 
     The Compensation Committee makes all compensation decisions for all executive officers (which includes the Named Executive Officers). The Compensation Committee actively considers, and has the ultimate authority of approving, recommendations made by the Chief Executive Officer regarding all equity awards to our employees. Our Chief Executive Officer determines the non-equity compensation of management level employees who are not executive officers or officers.
 
     The Chief Executive Officer annually reviews the performance of each executive officer (other than the Chief Executive Officer whose performance is reviewed by the Compensation Committee). Based on these annual reviews, the Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee with respect to annual base salary adjustments and short- and long-term incentive compensation awards for such executive officers. The Compensation Committee then reviews these recommendations and exercises its discretion in whether to accept such recommendations or to modify such recommendations as it deems appropriate. The Compensation Committee annually reviews the performance of the Chief Executive Officer and determines the total compensation, including base salary, cash bonus and long-term equity compensation, for the Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Executive Officer does not participate in such determination.

Setting Executive Compensation
 
     Based on the foregoing compensation philosophy, the Compensation Committee has structured our annual, short- and long-term compensation to motivate executives to achieve the financial performance objectives we set and to incentivize the executives to achieve and exceed, and to reward the executives for achieving and exceeding, such objectives. To date, the Compensation Committee has not retained the services of human resource consulting firms or similar third party advisors, but it has reviewed commercially available published surveys of executive compensation for comparable companies based on factors such as annual revenue and geographic region.
     The Compensation Committee does not believe that it is appropriate to establish compensation levels based exclusively or primarily on benchmarking to our publicly-traded peers. The Compensation Committee looks to the above described external market data as one of several reference points in reviewing and establishing individual pay components and total compensation and ensuring that our executive compensation is competitive in the marketplace.
     The Compensation Committee annually determines total compensation levels, as well as the individual pay components of the executive officers and officers (including the Named Executive Officers). In making such determinations for 2007, the Compensation Committee reviewed and considered: (1) recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer, based on individual responsibilities and performance, (2) historical compensation, including base compensation and bonuses, paid by the Company since the Company instituted pay cuts in 2003 through the period ending December 31, 2006, (3) commercially available published surveys of executive compensation for comparable companies based on factors such as annual revenue and geographic region, (4) our overall financial performance in achieving or substantially achieving the Company’s budget in light of our future objectives and challenges, and (5) overall effectiveness of the executive compensation program, including the fact that no stock options or other equity compensation had been awarded to the Company’s executive officers or officers (including the Named Executive Officers) during 2006. These factors were considered as a whole and no one factor was more heavily weighted than the other factors. This review resulted in the Committee’s determination to (i) approve an increase in base salaries for 2007 for all executive officers and officers (including the Named Executive Officers, other than the Chief Executive Officer) of approximately 5.8% over 2006 base salaries and increase the 2007 base salary for the Chief Executive Officer by approximately 5.8% and (ii) approve the issuance of a total of 154,500 stock options to all executive officers and officers (including the Named Executive Officers, other than the Chief Executive Officer) and the issuance of 21,000 stock options to the Chief Executive Officer. The Committee’s determination to authorize the issuance of stock options was made shortly after the filing by the Company of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.
      A percentage of total compensation is allocated to incentives as a result of the compensation philosophy discussed above. There is no pre-established policy or target for the allocation between either cash and non-cash or short- and long-term incentive compensation, but the Committee generally considers base salary as the primary component of compensation.
      For 2008, the Compensation Committee adopted a 2008 management bonus plan pursuant to our 2005 Employee Stock and Incentive Plan. Under the terms of the bonus plan, cash bonuses, if any, will be awarded to the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers, officers and senior management based on, and subject to, the achievement of a specified performance goal. The performance goal shall be for the Company to exceed, on a quarterly basis, the corresponding projected quarterly earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) contained in the Company’s annual budget (or, in case of a budgeted operating loss, to reduce the operating loss below the budgeted operating loss).
     Subject to an aggregate annual maximum of $1,100,000, the maximum aggregate amount to be awarded for any quarter shall be equal to the sum of the following: (i) the amount of Excess EBITDA up to $275,000, plus (ii) if the Excess EBITDA exceeds $275,000, the amount of such excess, up to the Cumulative Recapture Pool, plus (iii) if the amount of Excess EBITDA exceeds the amounts determined under the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of such excess. “Excess EBITDA” means, for any quarter, the amount by which the EBITDA for such quarter exceeded the budgeted EBITDA for such quarter; “Cumulative Recapture Pool” means, as of any date, (i) $275,000 for each completed Eligible Quarter prior to such date, minus (ii) the aggregate amount of awards issued under the 2008 Bonus Plan as of such date; and “Eligible Quarter “ means a quarter in which the Company’s EBITDA was not less than 80% of the budgeted EBITDA.

Table of Contents

     Following the end of each quarter, the Committee will grant cash bonuses in an aggregate amount to be determined by it, but not to exceed the above limitations, to the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers, officers and senior management based on the Committee’s determination of the relative contribution of each such person. The adoption of the 2008 Bonus Plan does not restrict the ability of the Compensation Committee to award discretionary bonuses for any quarter in which the performance goal was not achieved.
2007 Executive Officer Compensation Components
     For the year ended December 31, 2007, the principal components of compensation for Named Executive Officers were:
    base salary;
 
 
    performance-based incentive compensation, including both short-term cash incentive compensation and long term equity incentive compensation;
 
 
    retirement and other benefits; and
 
 
    perquisites and other personal benefits.
Base Salary
      We provide our Named Executive Officers and other employees with a base salary to compensate them for services rendered during the year. Base salary ranges for Named Executive Officers are determined for each executive officer based on the factors described above, his or her position and level of responsibility and his or her actual performance during the preceding year. Base salaries for each year are typically evaluated annually in the first quarter of such year. Merit-based increases to base salaries for executive officers are based on the Compensation Committee’s assessment of the various factors described above, including the individual’s performance during the preceding year.
Performance-Based Incentive Compensation
      Our 2005 Employee Stock and Incentive Plan provides the Compensation Committee with the flexibility to design cash- and stock-based incentive compensation programs to promote performance and the achievement of our goals and objectives by executive officers and other key employees by allowing them to participate in our long-term growth and profitability. The Compensation Committee believes that providing performance-based incentive compensation is necessary to attract and retain superior executive talent and to align the financial interests of executive officers with those of our stockholders. A portion of each executive officer’s potential aggregate compensation is in the form of incentive compensation. There are two types of performance-based incentive compensation used by the Compensation Committee. The first type is short-term incentive compensation in the form of a potential cash bonus. The second type is long-term incentive compensation in the form of grants of stock options, restricted stock or restricted stock units.
     For 2007, the Company’s Compensation Committee adopted a management bonus plan (the “2007 Bonus Plan”) pursuant to the Company’s 2005 Employee Stock and Incentive Plan. Under the terms of the 2007 Bonus Plan, cash bonuses, were awarded to the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers and officers based on, and subject to, the achievement of the following performance goal. The performance goal was for the Company to exceed, on a quarterly basis, the corresponding projected quarterly net income contained in the Company’s annual budget (or, in case of a budgeted net loss, to reduce the net loss below the budgeted net loss) (the “Over Budget Amount”). The Over Budget Amount was determined by the Compensation Committee on a quarter-by-quarter basis.
      Under the 2007 Bonus Plan, the total bonus amount for each quarter was the sum of (i) an amount to be determined by the Compensation Committee for such quarter, but not to exceed the lesser of (x) $250,000 or (y) the Over Budget Amount and (ii) if and to the extent the Over Budget Amount exceeded $250,000, ten percent (10%) of such excess.

     Following the end of each quarter, the Compensation Committee could grant cash bonuses in an aggregate amount to be determined by it, but not to exceed the above described total bonus amount for such immediately preceding quarter, to the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers and officers based on the Compensation Committee’s determination of the relative contribution of each such person. The adoption of the 2007 Bonus Plan did not restrict the ability of the Compensation Committee to award discretionary bonuses for any quarter in which the performance goal was not achieved.
     During the fourth quarter of 2007, based on achieving the performance goal under the 2007 Bonus Plan for the third quarter, the Committee awarded aggregate cash bonuses of $105,000 to the Company’s executive officers and officers (including the Named Executive Officers, other than the Chief Executive Officer) and a cash bonus of $20,000 to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. In addition, based on the Committee’s consideration of (1) the improvement in the Company’s financial and operating performance during the 2007 fourth quarter and for the full fiscal year 2007, (2) the determination by the Committee in the third quarter not to award the full Bonus Pool Amount under the 2007 Bonus Plan, and (3) the Committee’s compensation objectives of, among other things, seeking to focus management on business performance that creates stockholder value, encouraging innovative approaches to the business of the Company and providing rewards for results, the Committee also awarded discretionary aggregate cash bonuses for 2007 of $106,000 and a cash bonus of $19,000 to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, which were paid during 2008.
     Long-term incentive compensation for each executive officer consists of awards of stock options based on the executive officer’s level and scope of responsibility. The Compensation Committee is responsible for the granting of all equity-based compensation, including the award dates for each grant, which is determined in its discretion. Stock options typically vest over a three-year period in quarterly installments. An important purpose of the granting of stock options is to retain executive talent and incentivize the executive team to increase stockholder value. During 2007 the Committee approved the issuance of a total of 154,500 stock options to all executive officers and officers (including the Named Executive Officers, other than the Chief Executive Officer) and the issuance of 21,000 stock options to the Chief Executive Officer. The grant of options to the Company’s executive officers and officers, including the Named Executive Officers, was approximately 25% of the total options granted by the Company during 2007. The Committee’s determination to authorize the issuance of stock options was made shortly after the filing by the Company of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.
Severance Agreements and Change-In-Control Provisions
     The Company and certain of the Named Executive Officers have entered into agreements more fully described below pursuant to which the Named Executive Officers are entitled to certain severance and other benefits upon termination and/or a change in control. The Compensation Committee believes that such arrangements are appropriate and provide the Named Executive Officers a reasonable package based on the value the officers have created that is ultimately realized by our stockholders. In addition, the change in control protection allows management to focus their attention and energy on our business without any distractions regarding the effects of a change in control. Further, such protections are intended to maximize stockholder value by encouraging management to objectively review any proposed transaction to determine whether such proposal is in the best interest of the stockholders.
Retirement and Other Benefits
     Executive officers are eligible to participate in our 401(k) plan and other benefit programs as described below. The Compensation Committee reviews the overall cost to us of these various programs generally on an annual basis or when changes are proposed. The Compensation Committee believes that the benefits provided by these programs have been important factors in attracting and retaining the overall executive officer group, including the Named Executive Officers.
     Our 401(k) plan provides for employer matching funds of 20 percent of the employee contribution. We do not provide any other retirement benefits or tax-qualified deferred compensation plans or programs for our executive officers.
     Executive officers also receive benefit of life insurance policies, which provide coverage in varying amounts up to $3.0 million.

      Executive officers are also entitled to participate in the various other group health, term life, employee stock purchase, and similar benefit plans available to all of our employees and on the same terms as such employees.
Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits
     We provide Named Executive Officers with perquisites and other personal benefits that we and the Compensation Committee believe are reasonable and consistent with our overall compensation program to better enable us to attract and retain superior employees for key positions.
Tax and Accounting Implications
Deductibility of Executive Compensation
      As part of its role, the Compensation Committee reviews and considers the deductibility of executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, which provides that we may not deduct compensation of more than $1 million that is paid to certain individuals, subject to certain exceptions. We believe that compensation paid under our Plan is generally fully deductible for federal income tax purposes. However, the Compensation Committee may approve compensation that will not meet these requirements in order to ensure competitive levels of total compensation for its executive officers.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
     Effective January 1, 2006, we began accounting for stock-based payments, including our 2001 Plan, in accordance with the requirements of FASB Statement 123R.
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
     The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 and Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code changed the tax rules applicable to nonqualified deferred compensation arrangements. While certain of the final regulations have not yet become effective, we believe we are operating our executive compensation arrangements including severance benefits and equity awards in good faith compliance with the statutory provisions that were effective January 1, 2005. We will timely make any necessary modifications to our executive compensation arrangements to comply with Internal Revenue Code section 409A.

EMPLOYMENT, CHANGE OF CONTROL AND TERMINATION ARRANGEMENTS FOR EXECUTIVES
     The Company and certain of the named executive officers have entered into Change in Control and Severance Agreements. Under these agreements, and in consideration of certain commitments of the officer to continue employment, upon the occurrence of a change in control, all unvested options held by the officer immediately vest and become exercisable. During the two year period following a change in control (whenever occurring), if the employment of the officer is terminated (other than for cause, death, disability or retirement), or if there is a material adverse change in the officer’s responsibilities, compensation or benefits to which the officer does not consent, then, in each case, the officer is entitled to receive from the Company (1) all salary and bonus amounts accrued through the date of termination, (2) a severance payment equal to twice the officer’s salary and bonus amount (which is defined as the greater of (i) the highest annual incentive bonus earned by the executive during the last three completed fiscal years or (ii) the executive’s then target bonus, if any) and (3) continuation for two years

of all employee benefits (unless otherwise provided by a subsequent employer). If applicable, the officer is also entitled to receive an additional payment to compensate the officer for any additional excise tax liability arising by reason of the receipt of such severance or bonus payment. The agreement terminates upon the voluntary resignation or termination of employment by the officer.
     The Company and certain of the executive officers named above have also entered into Executive Severance Agreements. Under these agreements, and in consideration for, among other things, the agreement by the executive to be bound by a restrictive covenant, in the event of the termination of the employment of the executive other than for cause (including a material adverse change in the officer’s responsibilities or the failure to re-nominate to the Board of Directors any executive also serving on the Board), the executive is entitled to a severance payment, based on the executive’s years of service, up to a maximum of twice the executive’s salary and the bonus, if any, that the executive would have received for such fiscal year (based upon the executive’s targeted bonus amount and the Company’s actual results for such fiscal year), payable in monthly installments over a period not to exceed two years (based on the executive’s years of service) In addition, in the event of termination without cause, the executive is entitled to a continuation of benefits and to the accelerated vesting of all options then held by the executive. The severance payment and benefits are reduced by any compensation or benefits received by the executive from any subsequent employer.
     The following sets forth the estimated amounts payable under the foregoing agreements assuming that all relevant triggering events thereunder were effective as of December 31, 2007.

    20,000       11,795  (5)   $ 31,795  
 
(1)   The values of the options in this column are the expense amounts for grants made in 2007 and prior years which continue to be expensed and recognized for financial statement reporting purposes in fiscal year 2007 in accordance with FAS 123(R) and were estimated using a Black-Scholes pricing model, which incorporates a range of assumptions for inputs between the grant date of the option and the date of expiration. The assumptions used and the resulting weighted average value of stock options granted during 2007 are summarized in Note 5 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. There can be no assurance that the FAS 123(R) amounts will be realized.
 
(2)   Mr. Beatson had 95,000 options outstanding as of December 31, 2007.
 
(3)   Mr. Reilly had 85,000 options outstanding as of December 31, 2007.
 
(4)   Dr. Jacobs had 95,000 options outstanding as of December 31, 2007.
 
(5)   Mr. Murray had 156,167 options outstanding as of December 31, 2007.
     In June 1999 the Company adopted a Non-Employee Director Stock Option and Retainer Plan (the “Non-Employee Director Plan”). As of the date of the adoption of the Non-Employee Director Plan, each then non-employee director received an option to purchase 35,000 shares of common stock. As amended in June 2007, the Non-Employee Director Plan also provides for the issuance to each non-employee director of options to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock as of the date of each annual meeting of stockholders. During calendar year 2007, each non-employee director received an option to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.95 per share. In addition, currently, non-employee directors receive an annual retainer fee of $10,000, payable quarterly, a director meeting fee of $2,500 for each board meeting attended and a committee meeting fee of $1,500 for each quarterly Audit Committee meeting attended and also receive fees for participation in certain periodic conference calls. The Non-Employee Director Plan permits the payment of such non-employee director retainer fees in shares of Common Stock in lieu of cash.
     All options to be issued to non-employee directors under the Non-Employee Director Plan are non-qualified options for federal income tax purposes and have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of a share of common stock as of the date of the annual meeting upon which such option is granted. All options have a ten-year term and are subject to a one-year vesting schedule.
     Generally, unless the Non-Employee Director Plan administrator otherwise provides, options are non-transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. At the time of any merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, or other change in the corporate structure or capitalization affecting the Company’s common stock, the Non-Employee Director Plan administrator will make appropriate adjustments to the exercise price, number and kind of shares to be issued under the Non-Employee Director Plan and any outstanding options. Unless terminated earlier, the Non-Employee Director Plan will terminate ten years from its adoption, and no stock options will be granted after the Non-Employee Director Plan terminates. The Board of Directors has the authority to amend, modify, suspend or terminate the Non-Employee Director Plan at any time.
