2007 Executive Officer Bonus Plan

Approved the 2007 Executive Officer Bonus Plan as follows:

Each Officer, as described below, was assigned a 2007 target bonus. Bonuses will be earned based on Company performance as against the 2007 Executive Officer Bonus Plan’s established revenue targets and operating income targets. The operating income targets are based on non-GAAP operating income, which excludes certain expenses, including (a) FAS 123R charges, (b) specified legal fees and settlements, and (c) any settlements with the Internal Revenue Service. Weighting of these components is as follows:

 

Revenue

   25 %

Operating Income

   75 %
      

Total

   100 %


Revenue Component of Executive’s Bonus:

No pay out will be made if Company 2007 actual revenue does not exceed at least an established minimum amount of revenue as set forth in the 2007 Executive Officer Bonus Plan. As 2007 actual revenue increases above the minimum amount of revenue, the actual bonus increases, up to 100% of the revenue component of the target bonus when actual revenue equals target revenue in the 2007 Executive Officer Bonus Plan, and continues increasing thereafter as actual revenue increases, up to a maximum of 200% of the revenue component of the target bonus.

Operating Income Component of Executive’s Bonus:

No pay out will be made if Company 2007 actual operating income does not exceed at least an established minimum amount of operating income as set forth in the 2007 Executive Officer Bonus Plan. As 2007 actual operating income increases above the minimum amount of operating income, the actual bonus increases, up to 100% of the operating income component of the target bonus when actual operating income equals target operating income in the 2007 Executive Officer Bonus Plan, and continues increasing thereafter as actual operating income increases, up to a maximum of 200% of the operating income component of the target bonus.
