Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control
Employment Contract
Robert R. Buck
On October 25, 2007, we extended the employment agreement with Robert Buck, our Chairman and CEO, through November 30, 2008. It provides for a base
salary of $550,000 for fiscal year 2008. Our board reviews his base salary each year. Mr. Buck's base salary for 2007 had been set by the board at $515,000.
Mr. Buck's
employment agreement also entitles him to an annual bonus of up to 100% of base salary, depending on whether we reach the performance target that the board sets near
the beginning of each fiscal year. The performance target for fiscal 2007 was based on EBITDA and will be based on EBITDA for fiscal 2008. The bonus varies from 0% of base salary (if we achieve 85% or
less of the target for that fiscal year) to 100% of base salary (if we achieve 115% or more of the target for that year). In between 85% of the target and 115% of the target, the bonus varies on a
straight line basis. Mr. Buck may receive discretionary incentive payments if the Compensation Committee determines that his individual performance and/or market conditions justify such
payments.
Mr. Buck
also receives a $1,000 per month car allowance and reimbursement of fuel costs. Under his employment agreement, Mr. Buck is entitled to severance equal to
12 months base salary if we terminate his employment without cause, or if we are not willing to renew his employment agreement at the end of the term. The employment agreement limits
Mr. Buck's ability to compete with us for 18 months after his employment ends. If Mr. Buck's employment was terminated without cause on September 30, 2007, he would have
received severance of $515,000.
Stock Option Agreements
Pursuant to stock option agreements with our named executive officers, all of their outstanding stock options will vest upon death or disability and in the event
of a change in control. Based on the price of the Company's stock of $10.22 as of September 30, 2007, there would have been no value of unvested stock options as of that date.
