Compensation Discussion and Analysis
 
Introduction
 
This discussion presents the principles underlying our executive officer compensation program. Our goal in this discussion is to provide the reasons why we award compensation as we do and to place in perspective the data presented in the tables that follow this discussion. The focus is primarily on compensation of our executive officers for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, but some historical and forward-looking information is also provided to put such year’s compensation information in context. The information presented herein relates to Jeffrey M. Jagid, our chief executive officer, Ned Mavrommatis, our chief financial officer, and our three other most highly compensated executive officers, who are sometimes referred to in this Form 10-K/A as our “named executive officers.”

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
 
We attempt to apply a consistent philosophy to compensation for all employees, including senior management. This philosophy is based on the premises that our success is dependent upon the efforts of each employee and that a cooperative, team-oriented environment is an essential part of our culture. We believe in the importance of rewarding our employees for our successes, which is why we emphasize pay-for-performance incentive compensation. Particular emphasis is placed on broad employee equity participation through the use of stock options and restricted stock awards, as well as on annual cash bonuses linked to achievement of our corporate performance goals.
 
Our compensation programs for our named executive officers are designed to achieve a variety of goals, including:
 
 
attracting and retaining talented and experienced executives;
 
 
motivating and rewarding executives whose knowledge, skills and performance are critical to our success;
 
 
aligning the interests of our executives and stockholders by motivating executives to increase stockholder value in a sustained manner; and
 
 
providing a competitive compensation package which rewards achievement of our goals.
 
Elements of Executive Officer Compensation
 
Overview. Total compensation paid to our executive officers is influenced significantly by the need to attract and retain management employees with a high level of expertise and to motivate and retain key executives for our long-term success. Some of the components of compensation, such as salary, are generally fixed and do not vary based on our financial and other performance. Some components, such as bonus, stock options and stock award grants, are dependent upon the achievement of certain goals jointly agreed upon by our management and the Compensation Committee. Furthermore, the value of certain of these components, such as stock options and restricted stock, is dependent upon our future stock price.
 
We compensate our executive officers in these different ways in order to achieve different goals. Cash compensation, for example, provides executive officers a minimum base salary. Incentive bonus compensation is generally linked to the achievement of financial and business goals, and is intended to reward executive officers for our overall performance in reaching annual goals that are agreed to in advance by management and the Compensation Committee. Stock options and grants of restricted stock are intended to link our executive officers’ longer-term compensation with the performance of our stock and to build executive ownership positions in our stock. This encourages our executive officers to remain with us, to act in ways intended to maximize stockholder value, and to penalize them if we and/or our stock fails to perform to expectations.
 
We view the three components of our executive officer compensation as related but distinct. Although the Compensation Committee does review total compensation, it does not believe that compensation derived from one component of compensation necessarily should negate or reduce compensation from other components. We determine the appropriate level for each compensation component based in part, but not exclusively, on its historical practices with the individual and our view of individual performance and other information we deem relevant. The Compensation Committee has not adopted any formal or informal policies or guidelines for allocating compensation between long-term and currently paid out compensation, between cash and non-cash compensation, or among different forms of compensation. We have not reviewed wealth and retirement accumulation as a result of employment with us, and have only focused on fair compensation for the year in question.
 
The Compensation Committee utilized reports from Equilar, Inc., a market leader for benchmarking executive compensation. The Compensation Committee realizes that benchmarking our compensation against the compensation earned at comparable companies may not always be appropriate, but believes that engaging in a comparative analysis of compensation practices is useful.

-6-


Base Salary. We pay our executive officers a base salary, which we review and determine annually. We believe that a competitive base salary is a necessary element of any compensation program. We believe that attractive base salaries can motivate and reward executives for their overall performance. Base salaries are established in part based on the individual position, responsibility, experience, skills and expected contributions during the coming year of the executive and their performance during the prior year. We also have sought to align base compensation levels comparable to our competitors and other companies in similar stages of development. We do not view base salaries as primarily serving our objective of paying for performance, but in attracting and retaining the most qualified executives necessary to run our business.
 
Based on all of the factors described above, including base salary, company performance and individual performance reviews, in January 2007, effective as of January 1, 2007, we granted our Chief Executive Officer a base salary increase of 22.5%, each of our Chief Financial Officer and our President and Chief Operating Officer a base salary increase of 14.5% and our Executive Vice President of Engineering a base salary increase of 18%. Based on all of the factors described above, in February 2008, effective as of January 1, 2008, we granted our Chief Executive Officer and each of the other named executive officers received, on average, a base salary increase of 4%.
 
Cash Incentive Bonuses. Consistent with our emphasis on pay-for-performance incentive compensation programs, each of our executives are eligible to receive up to 100% of his salary as an annual cash incentive bonus based upon meeting predetermined company financial and in the case of our Executive Vice President of Sales, Marketing & Customer Support, other measures established by us. The financial goals for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, included target measures for revenue, gross margins and operating income (before equity compensation) and in the case of our Executive Vice President of Sales, Marketing & Customer Support, additional performance objectives. The primary objective of our annual cash incentive bonuses is to motivate and reward our employees, including our named executive officers, for meeting our short-term objectives using a pay-for-performance program with objectively determinable performance goals. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, our Chief Executive Officer and our other named executive officers other than our Executive Vice President of Sales, Marketing & Customer Support earned 12.5% of their base salaries based on our meeting certain of our financial objectives, and our Executive Vice President of Sales, Marketing & Customer Support earned 28.4% of his base salary for the period from March 5, 2007 through December 31, 2007, based on our meeting certain of our financial objectives and certain other predetermined objectives.
 
Equity Compensation. We believe that stock options and restricted stock awards are an important long-term incentive for our executive officers and employees and that our stock option and restricted stock award program has been effective in aligning officer and employee interests with that of our stockholders. We review our equity compensation plans annually. Employees are eligible for annual stock option and restricted stock award grants based on targeted levels. These options and grants are intended to produce value for each executive officer if (i) our stockholders derive significant sustained value; and (ii) the executive officer remains with us.
 
At its January 19, 2007 meeting, the Compensation Committee, considered equity grants to be made for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. The number of restricted stock units granted to and held by our executive officers are reflected in the “Summary Compensation Table” and the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards” table below.
 
We do not have any program, plan or obligation that requires us to grant equity compensation to any executive officer on specified dates. The authority to make equity grants to executive officers rests with the Compensation Committee, although, as noted above, the Compensation Committee does consider the recommendations of our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in setting the compensation of our other executive officers.
 
Severance and Change-in-Control Benefits.
 
Except for the severance and change-in-control benefits described below, we do not provide to any of our executive officers any severance or change in control benefits in the event of termination or retirement, whether following a change-in-control or otherwise.

-7-


If we terminate Peter Fausel, our Executive Vice President - Sales, Marketing and Customer Support, other than for cause (as defined below) prior to March 5, 2010, Mr. Fausel will receive a continuation of his salary for a period of six months plus all earned but unpaid bonus as of the date of such termination. For this purpose, the term “cause” is defined by us and includes, but is not limited to, any willful or grossly negligent breach of Mr. Fausel’s duties as an employee and termination for fraud, embezzlement or any other similar dishonest conduct or for violation of our rules of conduct. If Mr. Fausel had been terminated other than for cause as of December 31, 2007, Mr. Fausel would have been entitled to receive severance payments through June 30, 2008 in the aggregate amount of $130,000.
 
Our 1999 Stock Option Plan provides that all outstanding stock options, including stock options held by our executive officers, will become immediately exercisable, and the restrictions with respect to outstanding restricted shares will lapse, upon the occurrence of a “change in control event.” For this purpose, a “change in control event” shall be deemed to occur if any of the following events occur: (a) the consummation of any merger of our company with any other company unless the combined voting power of our voting securities outstanding immediately prior thereto continue to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than 70% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of our company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; (b) the consummation of any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets; (c) approval by our stockholders of a plan of liquidation of our company; (d) any action pursuant to which any person or group (as defined in Sections 3(a)(9) and 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) shall become the beneficial owner of 20% or more of our outstanding voting securities; or (e) the individuals who were members of our Board of Directors on May 14, 1999 (the date on which our 1999 Stock Option Plan was initially adopted by the Board), including any individuals who became or become directors after that date and whose election or nomination for election was approved by at least two-thirds of the directors of our Board, cease to constitute a majority of the members of our Board of Directors.
 
Our 2007 Equity Compensation Plan provides that, in the event of a consolidation or merger in which, after any such transaction our prior shareholder owns less than 50% of the voting shares of the continuing or surviving entity, or in the event of the sale or transfer of substantially all of our assets, all outstanding options will become exercisable and all restrictions and/or forfeitures with respect to restricted stock awards and restricted stock units will lapse.
 
Benefits. The executive officers participate in all of our employee benefit plans, such as medical and 401(k) plan, on the same basis as our other employees, except that we pay 100% of the premiums for health and dental insurance of our executive officers and 75% of the premiums for health and dental insurance of our other employees.
 
Perquisites. Our Chief Executive Officer and our other named executive officers receive an allowance for automobile and related expenses. Our use of perquisites as an element of compensation is very limited. We do not view perquisites as a significant element of our comprehensive compensation structure.
 
The Compensation Committee Process
 
Compensation Committee meetings typically involve a preliminary discussion with our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer prior to the Compensation Committee deliberating without any members of management present. For compensation decisions, including decisions regarding the grant of equity compensation relating to executive officers (other than our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer), the Compensation Committee considers the recommendations of our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and includes him in its discussions.
 
Regulatory Considerations
 
We account for the equity compensation expense for our employees under the rules of SFAS 123R, which requires us to estimate and record an expense for each award of equity compensation over the service period of the award. Accounting rules also require us to record cash compensation as an expense at the time the obligation is accrued.

Compensation of Directors
 
We reimburse our directors for reasonable travel expenses incurred in connection with their activities on our behalf. Non-employee directors also receive $2,500 per board meeting, $250 per telephonic board meeting, $5,000 per year for serving on the Audit Committee and $1,000 per year for serving on the Compensation Committee.
 
Non-employee directors are entitled to participate in our 1999 Director Option Plan. A total of 600,000 shares of our common stock have been reserved for issuance under such plan. The plan provides for the automatic grant of an option to purchase 15,000 shares to each non-employee director at the time he or she is first elected to our Board of Directors and an automatic grant of an option to purchase 5,000 shares on the first day of each fiscal quarter, if on such date he or she has served on our Board of Directors for at least six months. Each option grant under the plan has a term of 10 years and vests on a cumulative monthly basis over a four-year period. The exercise price of all options equals the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, each of our non-employee directors received options to purchase 5,000 shares of our common stock on each of January 3, 2007, April 2, 2007, July 2, 2007 and October 1, 2007 at a per share exercise price of $18.28, $11.61, $12.86 and $12.24, respectively.
 
Employee directors are entitled to participate in our 1999 Stock Option Plan. As of April 28, 2008, a total of 2,812,500 shares of our common stock have been reserved for issuance under the plan. The plan provides for grants of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and restricted stock awards. Options can be granted under the plan on terms and at prices as determined by our Board of Directors, or the Compensation Committee, except that the exercise price of incentive options will not be less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. In the case of an incentive stock option granted to an employee who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our common stock, the per share exercise price will not be less than 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant. The aggregate fair market value, determined on the date of grant, of the shares covered by incentive stock options granted under the plan that become exercisable by a grantee for the first time in any calendar year is subject to a $100,000 limit. Restricted stock units can be granted under the plan, with such shares subject to a risk of forfeiture or other restrictions that will lapse upon the achievement of one or more conditions relating to completion of service by the participant, or achievement of performance goals or such other objectives, as established and determined by our Board of Directors, or the Compensation Committee. At the time a grant of a restricted stock unit is made, our Board of Directors, or the Compensation Committee, shall establish a period of time applicable to the shares of our common stock that are the subject of such restricted stock unit. Each grant of restricted shares may be subject to a different restricted period.
 
Employee directors are also entitled to participate in our 2007 Equity Compensation Plan. As of April 28, 2008, a total of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock have been reserved for issuance under the plan. The plan provides for grants of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, restricted or unrestricted stock awards, and restricted stock units. Options can be granted under the plan on terms and at prices as determined by our Board of Directors, or the Compensation Committee, except that the exercise price of options will not be less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. In the case of an incentive stock option granted to an employee who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our common stock, the per share exercise price will not be less than 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant. No option may be exercisable for more than ten years (five years in the case of an incentive option granted to a ten-percent stockholder) from the date of grant. Options issued under the plan will be exercisable at such time or times as the Compensation Committee prescribes at the time of grant. The Board of Directors, or the Compensation Committee, also may grant a restricted stock award and/or a restricted stock unit award to any eligible employee director. Under a restricted stock award, shares of our common stock that are the subject of the award are generally subject to restrictions on transfer to the extent that the recipient terminates service with us prior to the award having vested. The Board of Directors, or the Compensation Committee, shall determine the restrictions and vesting terms of each stock award. Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, or Compensation Committee, holders of restricted shares will have the right to vote such shares and to receive any cash dividends with respect thereto during the restriction period. Any stock dividends will be subject to the same restrictions as the underlying shares of restricted stock. The recipient of a restricted stock unit award will be entitled to receive a number of shares of our common stock that is equal to the number of units granted if and when the units vest. The Board of Directors, or the Compensation Committee, may grant unrestricted stock awards to any eligible employee director. Unrestricted shares do not require any payment by the recipient and are not subject to forfeiture or transfer restrictions (except to the extent imposed by law).
