the Company’ s 1999 Long Term Stock Incentive Plan for 166,667 shares, and the agreement obligated the Company to issue additional
options on 166,667 shares in each of August 2005 and 2006, at the then-fair market value. Options vest in five annual cumulative
installments of 20% each.
Mr. Fiorentino was also granted, pursuant to a restricted stock unit agreement (the form of which is part of his employment
agreement), 1,000,000 restricted stock units under the 1999 Long Term Stock Incentive Plan conditioned on stockholder approval and
the satisfaction of certain performance conditions based on the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization in fiscal
2004 or fiscal 2005. Such restricted stock units vest in accordance with the following schedule: 200,000 on May 31, 2005 and 100,000
on April 1, 2006 and each April thereafter, until April 1, 2015. The restricted stock units do not reflect actual issued Shares; Shares are
distributed within 30 days after a “Distribution Event”. A Distribution Event is defined as the earliest of the date that Mr. Fiorentino is
no longer employed by the Company, the date of a change of control (as defined) or January 1, 2006 for the units that vest in 2005 or
the date on which any subsequent units vest for units that vest after 2005. If the Company pays dividends or makes other distributions
during the term of the restricted stock agreement, however, Mr. Fiorentino has the right to receive equivalent payments under certain
circumstances, but shares of Company stock shall only be distributed when there is a Distribution Event.
Compensation that may become payable following the termination of his employment or a change in control of the company, and
other terms of the employment agreement related to such events, are discussed below under “—Potential Payments Upon Termination
or Change in Control.”

In March 2009, pursuant to the Company’ s Executive Incentive Plan approved by our stockholders in 2008, the Compensation
Committee, with input from our Chief Executive Officer, established target cash bonuses for the Named Executive Officers based on
the achievement of certain performance-based criteria in 2009. Messrs. Richard, Bruce and Robert Leeds and Mr. Reinhold can receive
