     Audit Committee
     The Company has a separately-designated standing Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Audit Committee during 2010 consisted of Messrs. Fenimore (Chairman), Gildea, and McCauley. The Audit Committee held seven meetings during 2010. The functions of the Audit Committee, among other things, include:
    recommending the appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm;
 
    engaging and approving the fees of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm;
 
    meeting periodically with the Company’s management, internal audit, and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm on matters relating to the annual audit, internal controls, and accounting principles of the Company’s financial reporting; and
 
    reviewing potential conflict of interest situations, where appropriate.
     In addition, the Audit Committee has the authority to investigate any matter brought to its attention, within the scope of its duties, with full access to the Company’s books, records, facilities, personnel and independent auditors, along with the power to retain, at the Company’s expense, such independent counsel, auditors or other experts as the Audit Committee deems necessary or appropriate.
     The Board has determined that each Audit Committee member meets the financial knowledge requirements under the Nasdaq listing standards, and that Mr. Fenimore is designated as the “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act and meets the Nasdaq professional experience requirements. In addition, the Board has determined that each Audit Committee member met the independence requirements prescribed by all applicable laws, the rules and regulations of the SEC and the Nasdaq listing standards during 2010.
     Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
     Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership on Forms 3, 4 and 5 with the SEC. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by law to furnish us copies of all Forms 3, 4 and 5 they file. Based solely on the Company’s review of the copies of such forms it has received and representations from certain reporting persons that they were not required to file

Form 5s for specified fiscal years, the Company’s believes that its officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners complied with all filing requirements applicable to them with respect to transactions during 2010.
     America Service Group Code Of Conduct & Ethics
     America Service Group has a Code of Conduct & Ethics that applies to all its employees, including senior executives and its Board of Directors. This ethics policy may be viewed on the Company’s web site at www.asgr.com. The Company intends to satisfy the disclosure requirement under Item 5.05 of Form 8-K relating to amendments to or waivers from any provision of the Code of Conduct & Ethics applicable to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer by posting such information on its website.
Item 11. Executive Compensation
     Compensation Discussion & Analysis
     The objective of the Company’s executive compensation program is to provide compensation to its management team that allows the Company to recruit, retain, and motivate highly capable executive personnel, and that incorporates the concepts of:
    being competitive in applicable labor markets;
 
    offering an appropriate return on investment for stockholders;
 
    being simple and easy to understand and administer;
 
    being responsive to the needs of our executives;
 
    complying with the Company’s standards of corporate governance and all applicable legal guidelines; and
 
    reward results, not merely effort.
     Incentive Stock and Compensation Committee and the Compensation Decision Process. The Incentive Stock and Compensation Committee (the “Committee” as used in this section only) of the Board is composed of three directors who each meet the independence requirements of the Nasdaq listing standards. The Committee is charged with, among other things:
    monitoring compensation of all executive officers and directors;
 
    reviewing and approving compensation of the CEO and other named executive officers;
 
    administering the America Service Group Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2009 Equity Plan”), America Service Group Inc. Amended and Restated Incentive Stock Plan (the “Amended and Restated Incentive Stock Plan”) and the America Service Group Inc. Amended and Restated 1999 Incentive Stock Plan (the “Amended and Restated 1999 Incentive Stock Plan”); and
 
    reviewing all incentive plans to ensure that the goals are suitably aggressive to result in a good return on investment while also guarding against the assumption of undesirable risk.
     The Committee engages a management compensation consultant, McDaniel & Associates (the “Consultant”), to advise the Committee on executive and director compensation. The Consultant develops suggested benchmark companies to be used as external references, advises the Committee on industry best practices, recommends base salary modifications for the Company’s named executive officers, reviews and recommends modifications to the Company’s annual incentive compensation plan, advises the Company as to the form of long-term compensation to use, and recommends long-term compensation awards for the Company’s named executive officers and overall equity grants for the entire organization. The Committee meets with the Consultant in executive session at least twice per year. Management is not present during any part of an executive session. While the primary relationship between the Company and the Consultant is through the Committee, a few times a year the Consultant

may work directly with management, primarily in providing market data on jobs below the executive level in the organization. The amount of such work is immaterial in relation to the work for the Committee.
     The Company’s Chief Human Resources Officer (the “CHRO”) works directly with the Committee and the Consultant throughout the compensation deliberation and determination process. Typically, the CHRO and the CEO meet with the Committee to discuss all pay decisions other than those related to the CEO. The Committee delegates to the CEO:
    decisions regarding base salary levels for positions other than named executive officers, as long as such decisions are within the overall salary budget;
 
    the responsibility to develop annual incentive plans for positions below the senior vice president level;
 
    the development of recommendations of all equity grants other than those for named executive officers; and
 
    the recommendation of all compensation plan changes for the Company’s executive officers other than the CEO.
     The Committee makes all decisions on compensation for the CEO and other named executive officers through consultation in executive session with the Consultant. The CHRO is not involved in any discussions with the Consultant or the Committee regarding his own compensation.
     Comprehensive Plan. To compensate its executive management, the Company provides a number of compensation elements it believes are competitive relative to the benchmark group, as discussed below, and best supports its compensation objectives. The following are the elements of compensation that form the Company’s compensation program, along with a brief description of the Company’s reasons for using such elements:
    base salary — to recognize sustained, individual long-term performance;
 
    annual incentive compensation — to promote the achievement by the Company of annual objectives that the Committee believes will lead to long-term increases in stockholder value;
 
    long-term equity incentive — to promote retention of executive talent and to foster long-term planning and execution, which the Committee believes will lead to an increase in stockholder value;
 
    benefits — to provide programs that meet employee needs and promote recruitment and retention; and
 
    executive severance and change in control agreements — to provide competitive programs to help the Company recruit and retain qualified senior personnel.
     Use of Compensation Benchmarks. Each year, the Consultant develops a recommended group of companies based on the parameters set forth below to use as benchmarks in comparing compensation. After discussion with the Consultant and management, and possible modification of the benchmark group, the Committee approves the final list of companies. This group of companies will comprise the “Market” for executive officers as that term is used throughout this Compensation Discussion and Analysis. The Consultant uses a primary database composed of publicly-traded and privately-held companies. These companies are geographically diverse and situated in the health services industry, and are in a comparable size range to the Company, considering revenue, market capitalization and other appropriate indicators. At all times, the Consultant utilizes as large a number of companies in the database as it deems necessary to mitigate against year to year volatility, as long as such companies fit the parameters set forth above. The list of benchmark companies is modified from time to time as needed to reflect changes in described parameters. During 2010, the benchmark group consisted of the following companies:
             
 
  Advocat, Inc.   Cross Country Healthcare, Inc.   MedCath Corporation
 
  Allied Healthcare International   Five Star Quality Care, Inc.   National HealthCare Corp.
 
  Alliance Healthcare Services, Inc.   Gentiva Health Services   Odyssey Healthcare, Inc.
 
  Amedisys, Inc.   Hanger Orthopedic Group   Psychiatric Solutions, Inc.

Table of Contents

             
 
  American Dental Partners, Inc.   Healthways Inc.   RehabCare Group, Inc.
 
  AMN Healthcare Services   Hooper Holmes, Inc.   Sun Healthcare Group, Inc.
 
  AmSurg Corp.   LHC Group, Inc.   SXC Health Solutions Corp.
 
  Brookdale Senior Living, Inc.        
     While the Committee realizes that there may be other companies suitable for inclusion in the benchmark group, it is comfortable with the size and diversity of the primary database and the competitive benchmarks it provides. The Consultant may also recommend using secondary databases, as appropriate, that may consist of other companies in the healthcare industry, and various functional surveys, as needed, regardless of industry relevance.
     As the Committee compares the Company’s compensation to the Market, the Committee considers data from the primary database as the most relevant. The Consultant, in developing recommendations, also accesses secondary sources as a quality check against the primary databases. If there are substantial discrepancies between the primary database and the secondary sources, those are reviewed and the Consultant may recommend to the Committee what action to take regarding those differences. There were no such discrepancies in 2010.
     Unless otherwise specified herein, each component of an individual’s compensation package is set at levels targeted to be competitive with the Market. Generally, the target is the 50th percentile of the Market. The actual amount that an executive may realize may be higher or lower than the 50th percentile depending on Company and individual performance and certain other factors. Each element of compensation is compared discretely and no exception in one element, either high or low, has any impact on any other element. For example, the lack of an annual incentive payout in one year will not affect base salary increases or long term incentive awards in that or subsequent years.
     It is the objective to have a strong link between individual and Company performance and executive compensation such that if the Company and individual perform at an optimal level, total compensation is higher relative to the Market. Conversely, if either the Company or individual performance is below goals set by the Board, total compensation may be lower relative to the Market.
     Link to Organizational Performance. The Company believes that its executive compensation program has a strong link to organizational performance, both short- and long-term. A close correlation between the rewards to its executives and the strategic and financial success of the Company is expected.
     Base Salary. The target level for an executive’s base salary is within the 50th percentile of the Market, modified to reflect individual long-term performance and experience. Base salary is reviewed annually and possibly adjusted based on changes in competitive pay levels, the executive’s performance as measured against individual, business group, and Company-wide goals, as well as changes in the executive’s role with the Company. Base salary changes for the executive group are typically effective at the beginning of each year. Therefore, on December 8, 2009, after consideration of presentations and recommendations of the CEO (except as it relates to the CEO’s salary) and the Consultant, and such other matters and information as deemed appropriate, the Committee approved resolutions with respect to 2010 base salaries of the Company’s named executive officers concluding that the named executive officers would receive no increases in base salaries at the beginning of 2010. However, on June 7, 2010, after conferring with its Consultant, the Committee approved an increase in fiscal 2010 base salary, effective June 1, 2010, for the Company’s CEO as noted below.

     Annual Incentive Compensation. The targeted cash payout amount (as a percent of base salary) under the Company’s 2010 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2010 Plan”) was set by job title and description at amounts no higher than the 50th percentile of the Market on an overall basis, as determined by the Consultant when it reviewed Market data.
     The 2010 Plan, as established on March 1, 2010, was designed to award lump-sum cash bonuses to the Company’s executive officers, including the named executive officers, and other eligible employees based on the financial performance of the Company and achievement of certain other key Company and individual goals. The 2010 Plan established the following 2010 targeted payouts for the named executive officers as a percent of base salary (“Bonus Target as a Percent of Base Salary”):
         
    Bonus Target as a  
Named Executive Officer Positions   Percent of Base Salary  
President and Chief Executive Officer
    70 %
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
    60 %
Chief Legal Officer, Chief Medical Officer and Chief Development Officer
    50 %
     A copy of the 2010 Plan was filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
     The 2010 Plan was composed of an Adjusted EBITDA Based Bonus (the “EBITDA Bonus”) and Other Key Company Goals Based Bonus (the “Key Goals Bonus”), each of which accounted for one-half of the total Bonus Target as a Percent of Base Salary for all named executive officers except the Chief Medical Officer. As set forth in the 2010 Plan, 100% of the Chief Medical Officer’s Bonus Target as a Percent of Base Salary was composed of a non-financial Key Goals Bonus.
     Under the EBITDA Bonus, the primary financial performance measure was “adjusted EBITDA.” The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, audit committee investigation and related expenses, merger expenses and share-based compensation expense. The Company includes in adjusted EBITDA the results of discontinued operations under the same definition. The adjusted EBITDA target as defined in the 2010 Plan was $23.0 million (the “EBITDA Target”), which represented a 28% increase in the adjusted EBITDA target used in the 2009 Plan.
     Under the EBITDA Bonus, no bonus was paid if adjusted EBITDA is 100% or less of the EBITDA Target. The EBITDA Bonus is funded with 50% of the earnings generated above the EBITDA Target after the other Key Goals Bonuses have been accrued, subject to the maximums set forth in the 2010 Plan. Under the EBITDA Bonus portion of the 2010 Plan, for executive management, including the named executive officers, other than the Chief Medical Officer, the maximum EBITDA Bonus award was 150% of the Bonus Target as a Percent of Base Salary. For 2010, the Company exceeded its 2010 EBITDA Target by an amount that allowed the Company to pay cash EBITDA Based Bonuses at approximately 40% of the EBITDA based bonus target payment amount; therefore EBITDA based incentive cash bonuses were paid to the Company’s named executive officers as follows: Mr. Hallworth, $72,546; Mr. Taylor, $46,523; Mr. Walker, $25,175 and Mr. King, $22,154.
     The Key Goals Bonus used pre-selected financial and non-financial objectives (the “Key Goals”). Key Goals Bonuses were awarded at different levels of achievement, as described fully in the 2010 Plan, up to a maximum award of 50% of the Bonus Target as a Percent of Base Salary. The following were the Key Goals for executive management, including named executive officers, other than the Chief Medical Officer:

     The goals selected were considered to be strategically critical to the success of the organization and the Board believes that they were suitably aggressive.
     Based on the percent of target award earned in 2010 as listed in the table above, incentive cash bonuses based on Key Goals were paid to the Company’s named executive officers as follows: Mr. Hallworth, $126,073, Mr. Taylor, $80,850; Mr. Walker, $43,750 and Mr. King, $38,500. These incentive cash bonuses were paid in addition to the cash EBITDA Based Bonuses noted above.
     The Chief Medical Officer did not participate in the EBITDA Bonus portion of the 2010 Plan as described above. As listed above, the Chief Medical Officer’s Bonus Target as a Percent of Base Salary was 50%. The Key Goals Bonus for the Chief Medical Officer accounted for 100% of his Bonus Target as a Percent of Base Salary awarded at different levels of achievement, as described fully in the 2010 Plan, up to a maximum award of 200% of the Bonus Target as a Percent of Base Salary.
     The following were the Key Goals for the Chief Medical Officer:
                 
    Percent of Target     Percent of Target Award

     Based on the percent of target award and level of achievement earned in 2010 as listed in the table above, an incentive cash bonus based on Key Goals was paid to Dr. Carl J. Keldie totaling $110,722.
     Long-term Equity Incentives. The Company’s long-term equity incentive program incorporates the following objectives of:
    fostering long-term planning and execution;
 
    reflecting prevailing competitive practices;
 
    promoting management retention by providing (i) a fair, equitable reward program, (ii) motivation to management to work for longer-term payoffs, and (iii) rewards that are forfeitable due to time vesting requirements; and
 
    encouraging the long-term increase in stockholder value by rewarding executives as stockholders are rewarded, and resulting in a decrease in management wealth when stockholder value decreases.
     In determining the amount of the equity awards, the Committee reviewed data presented by the Consultant that took into account how much equity was granted by the Market both in terms of value to the individuals and overall for the Company as well as how much the value of the equity awards represented as a percent of the market capitalization of the Company. The awards to individual named executive officers as well as the Company overall were approximately the 50th percentile of the Market.
     The Consultant, after extensive conversations with the Committee, recommended using nonqualified stock options as the primary equity vehicle for 2010 due to the fact that options are still used extensively in the industry and the Company had more equity available to be used for awards during 2010.
     On October 5, 2010, based on the recommendation of the Committee, the Board approved option awards under the Company’s 2009 Equity Plan in the following amounts: Mr. Hallworth, 62,000 options; Mr. Taylor, 36,000 options; Mr. Walker, 14,000 options; Dr. Keldie, 14,000 options and Mr. King, 14,000 shares. The options to purchase shares of common stock of the Company pursuant to the 2009 Equity Plan have a grant date of October 5, 2010 (“Grant Date”), an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the Grant

Table of Contents

Date as determined in accordance with the 2009 Equity Plan, and vesting one third on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the Grant Date.
     All equity grants are based on the value at the effective date of the award. The Company has not issued any options at an exercise price below market. Additionally, reload options are not used and the Company has not re-priced options.
     In summary, the Committee believes that the stock awards made in 2010 were consistent with the policy of not exceeding the 50th percentile of the Market as explained above. From time to time, there may be some variation with individual awards from the Market to reflect individual performance and position criticality, or other factors.
     Benefits and Perquisites. The Company’s named executive officers are eligible to participate in the same benefits offered to all other employees, specifically health plans, dental plans, 401(k) program, group-term life insurance, sick leave, long-term disability benefits and annual paid leave. The Company has not provided any executive benefits or perquisites or deferred compensation or special retirement plans.
     Additionally, the Company’s named executive officers are eligible to participate in the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan in the same capacity as all other employees. The Employee Stock Purchase Plan allows eligible employees to elect to purchase shares of common stock through voluntary automatic payroll deductions of up to 10% of the employee’s annual salary, at a discount of 15% of the stock’s value on the date of purchase.
     Executive Severance and Change in Control Agreements. The Company has existing employment agreements with its 2010 named executive officers: Richard Hallworth, Michael W. Taylor, Jonathan B. Walker, Dr. Carl J. Keldie and J. Scott King. A more detailed description of the material terms of these employment agreements is provided under the heading “Post Employment Compensation — Employment Agreements” beginning on page 19. These employment agreements govern the type and amount of compensation that the named executive officer would receive based on various events, including a change in control, a termination of the executive’s employment without cause, or a resignation by the executive for good reason (as defined in the applicable employment agreement), and are designed to be competitive with the severance protections offered by our competitors and are intended to help the Company recruit and retain qualified personnel. The Committee believes that the provisions of all of these employment agreements are within normal competitive practices for other healthcare companies the size of the Company.
     Compensation Decisions for 2011. On February 28, 2011, based on the recommendation of the Committee, the Board approved the Company’s 2011 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2011 Plan”).
     The 2011 Plan is designed to award lump-sum cash bonuses to the Company’s executive officers, including the named executive officers, and other eligible employees based on the financial performance of the Company and achievement of certain other key company and individual goals.
     The Company’s 2011 Plan establishes the following 2011 targeted payouts as a percent of base salary (“Bonus Target as a Percent of Base Salary”):
         
    Bonus Target as a  
Named Executive Officer Positions   Percent of Base Salary  
President and Chief Executive Officer
    70 %
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
    60 %
Chief Legal Officer, Chief Risk Officer, Chief Medical Officer and Chief Development Officer
    50 %
     The 2011 Plan is composed of an Adjusted EBITDA Based Bonus (the “EBITDA Bonus”) and Other Key Company Goals Based Bonus (the “Key Goals Bonus”), each of which account for one-half of the total Bonus Target as a Percent of Base Salary for all named executive officers except the Chief Medical Officer. As set forth in the 2011 Plan, 100% of the Chief Medical Officer’s Bonus Target as a Percent of Base Salary is composed of a non-financial Key Goals Bonus.

Table of Contents

     Under the EBITDA Bonus, the financial performance measure is “adjusted EBITDA.” The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, audit committee investigation and related expenses, merger expenses and share-based compensation expense. The Company includes in adjusted EBITDA the results of discontinued operations under the same definition. The adjusted EBITDA target as defined in the 2011 Plan is $26.0 million (the “EBITDA Target”).
     Under the EBITDA Bonus, no bonus is paid if adjusted EBITDA is 100% or less of the EBITDA Target. The EBITDA Bonus is funded with 50% of the earnings generated above the EBITDA Target after the other Key Goals Bonuses have been accrued, subject to the maximums set forth in the 2011 Plan. Under the EBITDA Bonus portion of the 2011 Plan, for executive management, including named executive officers, other than the Chief Medical Officer, the maximum EBITDA Bonus award will be 150% of the Bonus Target as a Percent of Base Salary. Payout is subject to Board confirmation of satisfactory balance sheet management.
     The Key Goals Bonus uses pre-selected financial and non-financial objectives (the “Key Goals”). Key Goals Bonuses are awarded at different levels of achievement, as described fully in the 2011 Plan, up to a maximum award of 50% of the Bonus Target as a Percent of Base Salary. The following are the Key Goals for executive management, including named executive officers, other than the Chief Medical Officer:
       
 
Corporate net new revenue
  30% of target award
 
Company specific non-financial objectives
  20% of target award
     The Chief Medical Officer does not participate in the EBITDA Bonus portion of the 2011 Plan as described above. As listed above, the Chief Medical Officer’s Bonus Target as a Percent of Base Salary is 50%. The Key Goals Bonus for the Chief Medical Officer accounts for 100% of his Bonus Target as a Percent of Base Salary awarded at different levels of achievement, as described fully in the 2011 Plan, up to a maximum award of 200% of the Bonus Target as a Percent of Base Salary. The following are the Key Goals for the Chief Medical Officer:
       
 
Company specific non-financial objectives
  90% of target award
 
Key individual non-financial objectives
  10% of target award
     Certain provisions of the 2011 Plan also applly to designated corporate managers, corporate employees, division vice presidents, regional vice presidents, regional directors, and health service administrators.
     Additionally, on December 8, 2010, after consideration of presentations and recommendations of the CEO (except as it relates to the CEO’s salary) and the Consultant, and such other matters and information as deemed appropriate, the Committee recommended and the Board approved resolutions with respect to 2011 base salaries of the Company’s named executive officers. The table below summarizes the 2011 base salaries approved for the Company’s named executive officers, which were effective January 1, 2011:
                 
    2011 Base     Increase  
Name   Salary ($)     (%)  
Richard Hallworth(1)
    571,000       8.8  
Michael W. Taylor(1)
    420,000       9.1  
Jonathan B. Walker
    270,000       8.0  
Carl J. Keldie, M.D.
    361,000       6.0  
J. Scott King
    235,000       6.8  
     Tax and Accounting Implications. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 limits the deductibility on the Company’s tax return of compensation over $1.0 million to the CEO or any of the other four most highly compensated executive officers serving at the end of the year unless, in general, the compensation is paid pursuant to a plan which is performance-related, non-discretionary, and has been approved by the Company’s stockholders. The Committee intends to structure performance-base compensation paid under the long-term equity incentive component and awarded in the future to executive officers who may be subject to Section 162(m) in a manner that satisfies the relevant requirements. The Committee, reserves the authority to award non-deductible compensation in the future as it deems appropriate. Further, because of ambiguities and uncertainties as to the application and interpretation of Section 162(m) and related regulations, no assurance can be given that compensation intended to satisfy the requirements for deductibility under Section 162(m) will in fact do so.

     Stock and Option Retention Program. The Board strongly believes that independent directors and Company executives should own and retain shares of Company stock to further align their interests with those of the Company’s shareholders. Therefore, the Board adopted independent director and executive stock holding guidelines, effective January 1, 2010.
     The guidelines apply to independent directors, the CEO, the CFO, operating presidents, group vice-presidents and senior vice-presidents. Individuals covered under the guidelines are required to retain ownership of a minimum number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to a designated percentage times the sum of: (i) the number of shares of restricted stock that vest after January 1, 2010, plus (ii) net shares received upon the exercise of stock options after January 1, 2010 that were granted subsequent to January 1, 2008. Any vesting of restricted stock or exercise of stock options by covered individuals prior to January 1, 2010 is excluded from the calculation of the minimum number of shares required to be owned by an individual. The guidelines will ultimately utilize a rolling three years of vesting of restricted stock and the exercise of options in the calculation of the minimum number of shares required to be owned by an individual.
     The designated percentages referred to above are:
    30% for independent directors;
 
    30% for the CEO;
 
    25% for the CFO; and
 
    20% for all other covered employees.
     At least once per year each individual covered under the guidelines will be required to submit a statement attesting that the retention requirement has been met. Any time an individual covered under the guidelines plans to dispose of any stock, they will also be required to submit a statement attesting that after such disposal the remaining shares of stock retained by the individual are sufficient to meet these guidelines.
     In the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend or other similar change in the Company’s outstanding shares, the stock retention requirement will be adjusted accordingly. If the Board determines that an individual under these guidelines has not met the retention requirements, the Board may consider either eliminating or withholding future equity awards for the individual until the guidelines are met.
     There may be instances in which the retention of the required number of shares under the guidelines required would place a severe hardship on an individual. In such instances, the Board may make a decision to develop alternative stock holding guidelines for the individual that reflects both the intention of these guidelines and the specific circumstances of the hardship.
     The Incentive Stock and Compensation Committee shall be responsible for monitoring the application of the independent director and executive stock holding guidelines.
     Executive Compensation Recoupment (Claw-back) Policy. On August 2, 2010, the Committee approved and immediately adopted a claw-back policy for all executive officers, including named executive officers, of the Company. The policy allows the Board or an appropriate committee of the Board, in its sole discretion, to require that the Company recoup, or “claw-back,” portions of the incentive compensation paid to its executive officers if there is a restatement of the Company’s financial statements filed with the SEC and the amount of incentive compensation that was awarded to the executive officer is higher than the amount of incentive compensation that would have been awarded to the executive officer had the financial results subject to the restatement been properly reported.
     For this purpose, the following actions may be taken by the Board or an appropriate committee of the Board:
    Require the executive officer to repay some or all of the annual incentive compensation paid;
    Require the executive officer to repay any gains realized on the exercise of stock operations or on the open market sale of vested restricted shares of common stock; or

13


Table of Contents

    Cancel some or all of the executive officer’s restricted stock, stock options or deferred stock awards.
     No recoupment of amounts referred to above will be sought for annual incentives earned or equity awards made before adoption of this policy on August 2, 2010 and only restatement of financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning after the adoption of this policy on August 2, 2010, will be subject to this policy. In no cases will recoupment be required for any annual incentives earned or equity awards made prior to the three-year period from the time that the restatement occurs, except in the case of fraud, where the timeframe will be unlimited. The Board or an appropriate committee of the Board shall have discretion to define from time to time which officers are considered executive officers for purposes of this policy.
     The Company has not previously sought a shareholder advisory vote on executive compensation and, therefore the Committe has not considered the results of any such vote in determining executive compensation policies and decisions.
     Report of the Incentive Stock and Compensation Committee
     The Incentive Stock and Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the above Compensation Discussion and Analysis with management and based on this review and discussion, recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Compensation Committee

The Company has a 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) covering substantially all employees who have completed 60 days of service. The 401(k) Plan permits eligible employees to defer and contribute to the 401(k) Plan a portion of their compensation. Our named executive officers are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan. The Company may, at the Board’s discretion, match employee contributions to the 401(k) Plan ranging from 1% to 3% of eligible compensation, depending on the employee’s years of participation. The Company made no matching contributions in 2010.

The Board compensation program provides that each new non-employee Director (as defined by the Amended and Restated 1999 Incentive Stock Plan or the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan as applicable) upon election to the Board receive 10,000 restricted shares of stock. Under the terms of the restricted shares, each new non-employee Director shall have the right, among other rights, to receive cash dividends on all of these shares and to vote such shares unless the Director’s right to such shares is forfeited. These shares become nonforfeitable in equal annual installments over four years beginning on the first anniversary of the date the shares are issued.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
     Certain Related Person Transactions
     Since the beginning of the last fiscal year, the Company is not aware of any related person transactions between it and any of its directors, executive officers, 5% stockholders or their family members which require disclosure pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act, except as previously discussed in Part III — Item 10. “Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance — Directors” as it relates to John C. McCauley. As previously announced on March 3, 2011, John C. McCauley filled the newly created position of Chief Risk Officer of the Company and stepped down from the Company’s Board effective March 1, 2011.
     Pursuant to the Audit Committee charter, the Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving and/or ratifying related party transactions, including any transactions that the Company is required to report in its proxy statements under Item 404 of Regulation S-K.
     At least annually, each director and executive officer completes a detailed questionnaire that asks questions about any business relationship that may give rise to a conflict of interest and all transactions in which the Company is involved and in which the executive officer, a director or a related person has a direct or indirect material interest. The Company also conducts a review, at least annually, of its financial systems to determine whether a director, or a company employing a director, engaged in transactions with it during the fiscal year.
     Director Independence
     The Board has reviewed and analyzed the independence of each director under the requirements of all applicable laws, rules, regulations and standards, including but not limited to the Standards, SEC rules and regulations and the Nasdaq listing standards. The purpose of the review was to determine whether any particular relationships or transactions involving directors, their affiliates or immediate family members were inconsistent with a determination that the director is independent for purposes of serving on the Board and its committees. As a result of this review, during 2010 the Board affirmatively determined that the following directors were independent in accordance with the Standards: Burton C. Einspruch, M.D., William M. Fenimore, Jr., John W. Gildea, John C. McCauley and Richard D. Wright. The Board has further determined that all members of the Incentive Stock and Compensation Committee, Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, and Audit Committee were independent during 2010.
Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services
     The Audit Committee conducted a competitive process to select a firm to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. The Audit Committee invited several firms to participate in this process, including Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

     Audit Committee Policy for Pre-Approval of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Services
     The Audit Committee is responsible for appointing, setting compensation for and overseeing the work of the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee has established a policy requiring its pre-approval of all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm. For pre-approval, the Audit Committee considers whether such services are consistent with the rules of the SEC on auditor independence. The Audit Committee’s charter delegates to its Chair the authority to address any requests for pre-approval of services between Audit Committee meetings, and the Chair must report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The policy prohibits the Audit Committee from delegating to management the Audit Committee’s responsibility to pre-approve permitted services of the independent registered public accounting firm.
