Under the terms of the Offer Letter, Mr. Martino is eligible to receive a cash bonus for the 2010 fiscal year of up to a maximum of 100% of his annual base salary.  Eligibility to receive such bonus shall be determined based upon a combination of (a) the Registrant’s achievement of financial and performance objectives and (b) Mr. Martino’s individual performance as determined based upon milestones to be determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board.  For the 2010 fiscal year, Mr. Martino’s bonus is guaranteed to be at least $212,500, payable as to $106,250 on June 30, 2010 and as to $106,250 on December 31, 2010.  The Offer Letter also provides that in the event Mr. Martino’s employment is terminated without cause, he will be entitled to receive his base salary, and reimbursement of COBRA premiums, for a period of 12 months.

On January 5, 2010, the Registrant announced that Harold Covert, who was appointed President and Chief Operating Officer on September 25, 2009 while the Registrant undertook a search for a new Chief Executive Officer, shall continue in his capacity as President of the Registrant (but shall no longer serve as Chief Financial Officer or Chief Operating Officer) during a transitional period from January 6, 2010 through September 30, 2010 (the “Transitional Period”).  On January 5, 2010 the Board of the Registrant also elected Mr. Covert to the Board, effective January 15, 2010 and through September 30, 2010.

In connection with the foregoing, the Registrant and Mr. Covert entered into a Transitional Employment and Separation Agreement, dated as of January 6, 2010 (the “Transition Agreement”).  Under the terms of the Transition Agreement, in connection with his services during the Transitional Period and as an inducement to enter into the Transition Agreement, Mr. Covert received a cash payment of $100,000 on January 6, 2010.  During the Transitional Period, Mr. Covert will continue to receive his current base salary, his options will continue to vest in accordance with their terms, and Mr. Covert will continue to be eligible to participate in the Registrant’s employee benefit plans.  Upon the conclusion of the Transitional Period, and unless Mr. Covert’s employment has been terminated for cause, Mr. Covert shall receive a $200,000 separation payment.

The Transition Agreement contains certain other provisions, including agreements by Mr. Covert not to solicit any of the Registrant’s employees for a period of eighteen months and not to interfere in any customer or client relationship.
